LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Journals Of Nation COMMENT ON SEGREGATION AS PRACTICED UNDER THE WILSON DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION VOL. XX1. Journals 0 COMMENT ON SEGREGATE THE WILSON DEMOCR No President ever suffered more from the foolish indiscretions of members of his Cabinet than has Mr. Wilson. He had a further illustration of it recently in his unfortunate interview with a delegation of Negroes who called at the White House to protest against the segregation of races in government departments. The bad manners of the chairman of the delegation, however deplorable, are no justification of the policy of Jim-Crow government which certain members of the Cabinet have established in their departments; and, as the President well knows, insolent conduct is not confined to the members of any particular race. The President should have foreseen this unfortunate issue when Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson were carrying their color-line theories into democratic government. Mr. Wilson told the committee that there had been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings of the Negro clerks, but explained that "he had been informed by officials that the segregation had been started to avoid friction between the races, and not with the object of injuring the Negroes." The President failed to explain, nevertheless, why no such rule had been considered necessary until Mr. Burleson and Mr. McAdoo got into the Cabinet. For nearly half a century white clerks and Negro clerks have worked side by side in the departments of Washington under Republican and under Democratic Presidents. The World keeps itself fairly well informed about Washington affairs, but the first it ever heard of this alleged friction to which Mr. Wilson refers was when Mr. McAdoo began his Jim-Crow proceedings in the Treasury Department. The President thinks that this is not a political question, but he is wrong. Anything that is unjust, discriminating and un-American in government is certain to be a political question. Servants of the United States government are servants of the United States government, regardless of race or color. For several years a Negro has been collector of internal revenue in New York. He never found it necessary to segregate the white employés of his department to prevent "friction"; yet he ```markdown ``` --- would have had quite as much right to do so as Mr. McAdoo had to segregate the Negro employés of the Treasury in Washington. While the Democrats of the country have been trying to solve certain great problems of government, a few southern members of the Cabinet have been allowed to exploit their petty local prejudice at the expense of the party's reputation for exact justice. Whether the President thinks so or not, the segregation rule was promulgated as a deliberate discrimination against Negro employés. Worse still, it is a small, mean, petty discrimination, and Mr. Wilson ought to have set his heel upon this presumptuous Jim-Crow government the moment it was established. He ought to set his heel upon it now. It is a reproach to his administration and to the great political principles which he represents.—New York World. THE SEGREGATION ISSUE (From Pittsburg Dispatch) The misplaced zeal of the spokesman of the delegation that called on the President to protest against the Jim-Crow tactics in the Treasury and Postal departments in an unfortunate result of the introduction of that policy. The fact that a private spokesman permitted himself to use some ill- guarded expressions is not so vital as that high representative of the Government have introduced a regulation solely to serve a small and contemptible prejudice. The President, according to the report, explained to the committee, that "he had been informed by officials that the segregation had been started to avoid friction be between the races, and not with the object of injuring the Negroes" But he absolutely failed to show why this dreaded friction arose only from the time that Southern men got chance of the departments. For nearly a half century, white clerks and colored clerks worked side by side in the departments under both Republican and Democratic Presidents. The father of the spoke-man whose protest aroused the Presidential reproof was an appointee of Cleveland's How could this friction be absent for 45 years and crop up so threateningly under Messrs. McAdoo and Burleson? DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 21 1914 State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ANTS WHO ADC E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO There is an equal one-sidedness in the declaration of the President that he would permit no "political threats" because the speaker had referred to the effect of such action on the Negro votes. The political question was introduced when the departments were permitted to revive this color prejudice. It was also introduced more than two years before that when Mr. Wilson then a candidate for President, declared: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interest of the race in the United States." Many colored men were led by such declarations to give him their support. When it is found that this pledge does not prevent him from serving a sheer prejudice against the colored people, the political effect of it is a necessary one We do not believe that President Wilson shares the silly prejudice which holds that it is impossible for a white man and a colored man to be in the same room, unless the colored man is serving the white man. But that makes it all the more unjustifiable that he should serve the prejudice with a plea of "friction" that has been distinctly absent in 45 years, experience at Washington. NEGROES MORAL COWARDS No race or people in the history of civilization ever endured a leadership of more consummate cowards than the Negroes. The average Negro is a coward in his own esteem. Void of self respect, appreciation or manly resentment. He submits to every indignity, with apology, the white man inflicts upon him When we speak of cowards, we do not mean physical cowards, but moral and intellectual cowards. The crowd who hasn't the moral courage to resent a wrong. The coward who submits to every indignity imposed upon him by cowardly newspapers; the coward who accepts every Jim-Crow accommodation offered If the Negro preacher, leader, pulpit and platform orator would teach their people to decently and respectfully decline to patronize those white business enterprises that insult their womanhood and manhood, it wouldn't be long before insults and indignities heaped upon the race because of its color would grow beautifully less. If the Negro preacher would tell his congregation, that a manly and self respecting race pride would not permit us to accept accommodation in the buzzard roost, in the atics and lofts of white men's theaters, it would not be long before the buzzard-roost, attics and --- Jim Crow places in white theaters would be cut out, for the reason they would have no business. For the reason a white man has the intelligence and keenness of foresight not to operate a business that does not pay. If the Negro preacher would teach his congregation from his pulpit each Sunday and the orator from the platform, not to read a white paper that endorses lynchings, that endorses outrages against the race, that perpetuated and circulated indignities and wrongs upon our manhood and womanhood, it wouldn't be long before the white papers would cut out that policy, for the reason every white paper in the South is largely read by Negro constituents, and their advertising rates are based upon circulation. The Jew will not read a paper that is hostile to Jews. The German cuts out every paper that antagonizes and fights his nationalities. The Jap resents with all of his soul, with all of his might, every wrong done him because of his race, his color or his condition. There is nobody a coward but the Negro; there is no race so divided against itself and is such a consumate band of bootlicks, cowards and sycophants as blakk educated leaders. What we need most is a manly leadership—one full of moral courage intellectual bravery. No bully, no insulter, but a man who has the intelligence and the Christian manhood to resent decently and manly wrougs heaped upon the race. A man who will tell the race of indignities that they ought not to endure, and how they may rid themselves of the agencies that seek to crush and undo it. Let us have a manly race; and we can only have a manly leadership. Let the pulpit and the platfrom do their duty, and all will be well.—The Enterprise. OFFENSIVE SONG NOT TO BE SUNG IN BOSTON Boston, Mass., Nov. 11.—Boston Negroes object to hearing their children in the public schools sing the old-time Southern song "O! Susanna," and the particular line to which they take exception is "And killed five hundred niggers." The song is included in a compilation of "Forty Best Old Songs," edited by James M. McLaughlin, director of music in the public schools. When Superintendent Dyer became head of the Boston schools he found that Boston boys and girls were not so familiar with the classical folk songs as they should be, and he recommended that Mr. McLaughlin and his assistants on the Music Commission compile the present list. A part of the edition was placed in the schools about four weeks ago. A fortnight later complaints began to pour into the School RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES J. H. Brown a barber of Waukesha, Wis., owns a violin which he has refused $18,000 for. It was made by Anton Stradivarius in the seventeenth century and is seldom equaled in quality and tone power. Violinist from all parts of the country have examined it, and found it to be perfect. Mr. Brown wants $30,000 for it. Fort Wayne, Ind.,—Anthony B. Trenton wealthy Fort Wayne and Chicago business man who was an officer of the Berghuff Brewing Co. who on the night of March 27 shot H. T. Bruce, Negro head waiter at the Anthony hotel, inflicting a wound from which Bruce died several days later in a local hospital, was sentenced to serve a term of 21 years in the State prison at Michigan City. Washington, D.C., Nov. 11. In response to an invitation extended by Giles B. Jackson of Richmond and Judson W. Lyons of Augusta, Ga., former register of the treasury, and a number of others, President Wilson has promised to speak at the exposition to be held in Richmond next year commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro. St. Louis, Mo, Nov. 13.—Prominent society women have become teachers in the rapidly growing sewing classes conducted at the newly established convent for colored folk. They teach sewing, mending and embroidery three times a week. A clamor for lessons in music and art has resulted Board, and finally a large petition signed by Negroes was received. It needed no persuasion to convince Mr. Dyer of the justice of the complaint and he promised that the song should be eliminated. Accordingly, a notice was sent from the School Board directing principals "to paste a piece of plain white paper over this page or cut out the leaf." It further suggested that, if other songs in this or other books in use in the schools give offense to the people of the community, they should not be used. The circular concludes: "The music of our schools it intended to promote harmony and not discord. There is sufficient good music accessible to meet all needs without using any that is offensive to any portion of our people." ' NO 13 in a request for Mother Drexel of Philadelphia, who established the convent here six weeks ago, to send a sister to give lessons in these branches. Hammond, Ind., Nov. 6.—The Rev. Sam Howard, pastor of a colored Methodist church in Frankfort, Ind., was ousted by his congregation recently, and after losing positions in both Indianapolis and Chicago, came here. He had read how jewelry stores were robbed by smashing windows and tried it this morning. He got a tray of gems, but a detective arrested him. Howard attempted to shoot the officer, but the latter laid his head open. Howard is on his way to the penitentiary tonight to serve from 10 to 20 years. Washington, D C.—For the first time in the history of the Supreme Court of the United States a colored attorney moved the admission of a white attorney to practice before the court. William R. Stewart, a colored attorney from Youngstown, O., was admitted to practice in connection with a damage suit brought by James Welsh of Youngstown against the Erie railrod, and Stewart moved the admission to practice to Emil J. Anderson another Youngstown attorney. Until recent years there have been very few attorneys admitted to practice in the highest court. Each year, however, records an increasing number of colored attorneys of sufficient caliber to have business before the Supreme court. For a colored attorney to stand sponsor, however, for a Caucasian is without precedent. Washington, D. C., Nov. 15. In the Adjutant General's annual report of the U. S. Army the colored troops were conspicuously mentioned. There were 3,882 desertions from the army during the year, being 3.10 per cent of the enlisted force. The regiments that had the lowest percentage of desertions during the year were the 10th Cavalry, 9th Cavalry and the 7th Infantry. The regiments with the highest percentage of desertions were the 5th Field Artillery, 12th Cavalry and 29th Infantry, all white. The percent of desertions among the white troops was 3.23 and that of the colored 0.64 which was a decrease among the colored troops as compared with the preceding year of 0.59 per cent. 1 BATTLE IN EAST CENTERS AROUND CITY OF CRACOW Petrograd Dispatches Report that Big Austrian Fort is Under Heavy Siege by the Russians. WINTER HITS FRANCE Month-Long Struggle for Channel Ports Slacks Up—There Is Much Suffering In the Flooded Trenches. (Summary of Events.) A special dispatch from Petrograd says that the advance of the Russians toward Cracow, Austria, is overcoming all obstacles, both the difficulty of the passes and the desperate resistance of the Austrians. Cracow is entirely besieged on the northeast. A sortie from Przemysl has been repulsed by Russian artillery and cavalry, which inflicted severe losses on the Austrians. Winter Now in East Prussia. In the eastern arena of war winter has set in and the mountains where the troops are facing each other are now covered with snow. The Russians, continuing their enveloping movement around East Prussia, have entered Rypin, which is west of Soldau and on the road to Thorn; so that they have almost surrounded Emperor William's north-eastern and favorite province. Just south of Rypin, however, the Germans have taken the offensive from Thorn and claim to have inflicted a defeat on the Russians near Wloclawek, on the Vistula river. Check the Retreat. Military observers say the Germans apparently have checked their retreat in Poland and by counter attacks are endeavoring to create a diversion. They say, however, that the Russians are not to be turned from their plan, which is believed to be an attack on Danzig. Russian Advance Continues. Five great Russian armies continue to roll forward in advances into East Prussia and Galicia. With the occupation' of Johannisburg, the Russian forces got the key to the railway lines along the border from Stalluponen, through Lyck, with Johannisburg as the southern terminal. In Galicia the investment of Przemysl has been resumed with the Russian army encircling the fortress on three sides. The southernmost point is at Turka, with the line stretching northeast and then around to Rzeszow, to the west of Przemysl. The army approaching Cracow from Poland is now declared to be at the outer defenses. The official statements place the main body of this force within twenty to twenty-five miles of the city. Between Thursday and Sunday the German Wirballen army transferred its main forces from the right to the left flank, where a furious battle is still in progress. Trying to Crush Servians. A dispatch from Berlin says the Austrian general staff has ordered an offensive movement with all possible force against the Servians in the hope of ending the Balkan phase of the war before winter sets in and so releasing further Austrian troops for service against the Russians. A Lull in Flanders. After four weeks of most desperate fighting there is a lull in the battle in Flanders. With this lull, however, has come little relief for the men in the trenches, as the artillery and rifle fire, to which they have been subjected with hardly any internmission, has been replaced by one of those storms which so often accompany November in this latitude. In some parts of England the storm M. SIR WILLIAM NUBERTSON Sir William Robertson, who began his military career as an enlisted man, has been made a lieutenant general of the British army on the continent. has reached the proportions of a blizzard; on the sea a heavy gale rages and the battlefields are getting their full share of wind and rain. German Attacks All Repulsed. For the most part the opposing armies have been content to shell each other at long range, but the Germans have made several attacks around Ypres, which, according to the French general staff, have been repulsed with heavy losses. Despite these losses it it not believed that the Germans have any intention of giving up their attempt to reach the French coast, and the Allies are making elaborate preparations to block any further advance in force. Extensive defense works have been erected along the Yser Canal and the French armies are holding that line from the Belgian border south to the River Oise and pushing forward approach works which place them in a better position for either defense or offense. Germans Cross the Yser. The Germans have crossed the Yser river, according to the admission in the latest Paris official communication, and although the invaders occupy only a few hundred yards on the left bank of the stubbornly contested river, the allies can not be indifferent to this gain and desperate efforts will be made to drive back the slight wedge. German Regiment Destroyed. An entire German regiment was destroyed north of Bixschoote when the allied troops again flooded the district in which the bitter fighting for the line to the coast has been in progress for the last month. That was declared in the latest official state-declared in the latest official statement issued by the French war office, ment issued by the French war office. Both are Satisfied. Both are useful. Each side expresses satisfaction with the progress of the war in France. Berlin says that the attacks of the Allies have been repulsed, and that their own attack is making headway; while in London and Paris it is felt that so long as the Allies can hold the line of the canal from Nieuport to Ypres their position is a strong one. In France, from the northwest to the southeast, there have been engagements of lesser importance, in which, according to the French report, General Joffre's armies have succeeded in gaining ground and strengthening their positions. The Germans continue to destroy bridges and railways in Belgium, but with what object remains a secret. It is believed, however, that they are making preparations to winter in that country, and they are taking every step to prevent their plans from becoming known to their enemies. No End in Sight In Belgium. The battle in Flanders is as far as ever from a decision, according to the official communications and judging from stories told by eye witnesses arriving from the battle front. Berlin Hears Good News. Great significance is attached in Berlin to last official reports from the west, which say "good advances" have been made in the region of the Argonne. This is the first time that expression has been used concerning the fighting in that district. Bombardment Kills 250. A dispatch from Athens says the Turks lost 250 men and two guns destroyed in the bombardment of the forts of the Dardanelles. The former German cruisers Goeben and Breslau, which now fly the Turkish flag, have re-entered the Bosphorus. Allies Take Turkish Forts. The British admiralty announces the successes of operations against the Turkish garrison at Sheikh-Said, on the Strait of Bab-El Mandeb, at the entrance of the Gulf of Aden, and of the occupation of the Turkish forts at Turba by Indian troops, assisted by the British cruiser, Duke of Edinburgh. Rioting in Turkey. It is learned that a conspiracy has broken out at Constantinople against the Germans and among the Turks. The chief conspirators were arrested and shot. The town of Berat, Albania, has been pillaged and completely destroyed. Anarchy reigns at Aviona, Albania, and that region is a prey to civil war. Turks Will Rctaliate. The commander of the Turkish forces at Beiruit, in a formal note addressed to the American consul general, and intended for the British and French governants, declares that for every Musselman killed in the bombardment of any open and unfortified port, three British or French subjects will be immediately killed. The Turkish note says, moreover, that the commander declined to take the responsibility for any uprising against Christians, which might ensue from such a bombardment. Marshal Roberts Dead. British Field Marshal Earl Roberts is dead in France from pneumonia. Field Marshal Roberts, who was colonel in chief of the Indian troops, had gone to France to give them his greeting. German Losses Now 509,000. News dispatches say that the latest casualty lists published in Berlin bring the total of officers and men killed, wounded or missing up to 509,000. The list covers part of August, September and a few from October. One section alone carries 29,281 names. Spy Put to Death. It is officially announced that Carl Hans Lody, also known as Charles A. Inglis, who was found guilty by a court martial of espionage November 2. has been shot as a spy in London. LORD ROBERTS IS DEAD AT 82 BRITISH WAR MARSHAL STRICK EN WHILE VISITING INDIAN TROOPS IN FRANCE. ROSE TO HIGHEST POST SPURNED SOCIAL HONORS AND SPENT TIME TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS FOR MEN. London.—Field Marshal Earl Roberts died in France from pneumonia. A telegram from Field Marshal Sir John French, commander of the British expeditionary forces on the Continent, apprised Earl Kitchener, secretary of state for war, of the death of England's great soldier. The telegram read: "I deeply regret to tell you that Lord Roberts died at 8 o'clock this (Saturday) evening." Field Marshal Roberts, who was colonel-in-chief of the Indian troops, had gone to France to give them his greeting. Soon after his arrival he became seriously ill. He suffered from a severe [Image of a man with a mustache and a high collar, wearing a military uniform]. Lord Roberts. chill Thursday and pneumonia rapidly developed. His great age, eighty-two years, militated against his recovery, the crisis in the disease coming quickly. The news of the death of Lord Roberts came as an entire surprise to England. The veteran's devotion to the interests of his army, his hard work in this connection and his seeming good health had been the subject of comment since the beginning of the war. He was the most popular military figure in Great Britain and a national hero without rival in the affections of the people. Despite his years, he had never ceased hard work since his nominal retirement, and, as he had often remarked, he lived a rigidly abstemious life that he might preserve his strength for the service of his country. During the last five or six years, when the German war cloud had been growing, he prosecuted an active campaign to persuade the nation to adopt a compulsory military service. Field Marshal Roberts worked day and night for the welfare of the soldiers from the outbreak of the war. He took the greatest interest in the Indians and issued an appeal for funds for their wounded and sick. The government, it is expected, will offer a tomb in Westminster Abbey or St. Paul's, for the empire's foremost soldier. "Roberts of Kandahar, Pretoria and Waterford," as Field Marshal Lord Frederick Sleigh Roberts was known, sums up briefly the career of the noted soldier whose death has plunged the empire into mourning. Scion of a noble Irish family, Lord Roberts was born in 1892 in Cawnpore, India, where his father, General Sir Abraham Roberts, was serving. It was in the Indian service that the gallant and efficient Irish soldier achieved his first and lasting fame. It was in South Africa, in his later years, that this was supplemented and magnified by his achievements in Great Britain's victorious campaign against the Boers. But, if it was as field marshal and earl that Lord Roberts was formally known, it was as "Bobs" that the men of the ranks knew him, loved him and greeted him. In their estimation, and in that of the admiring public, which appreciated and applauded his gallant services for his country, no name could fit him better than this diminutive of his family name—and a word meaning "hero" in Hindu. Ammons and Carlson Return. Denver..Governor and Mrs. Ammons and Governor-Elect and Mrs. Carlson returned to Denver from Madison, Wis., where they attended the annual Governors' Conference, "We had a great trip," said Governor Ammons, "and there was a good deal of interest displayed by the governors in the questions which were discussed. Governor-elect Carlson was made the chairman of one session. Governor Spry of Utah read as fine a paper as I have ever heard upon western land problems." TURKS FIRE ON U. S. NAVAL LAUNCH WILSON DEMANDS EXPLANATION FROM OTTOMANS FOR FIRING BY FORTS AT SMYRNA. TRY TO PREVENT CLASH TRY TO PREVENT CLASH CONSTANTINOPLE AMBASSADOR ASKED TO REQUEST PORTE TO MAKE REPARATION. Washington. — The United States government has directed Ambassador Henry Morgenthau at Constantinople to ask the Ottoman government for an explanation of the firing by Turkish land forces at a launch from the American cruiser Tennessee, proceeding from Vourlah to the American consulate at Smyrna, Asia Minor. Secretary Daniels, with the approval of President Wilson, simultaneously cabled the commanders of the Tennessee and the North Carolina, also in the Mediterranean, to take no action which might embarrass the American government and to await specific instructions from Washington concerning the general situation. These steps followed the receipt of a message from Capt. Benton C. Decker, commander of the Tennessee, which was paraphrased in this statement from the Navy Department; "Capt. B. C. Decker, in command of the Tennessee, wired Secretary Daniels that while proceeding from Vourlah to Smyrna to make official calls his boat was fired at. The consul was anxious for safety of consulate. The Tennessee proceeded to and left Vourlah at request of ambassador and is now anchored in the harbor of Scio, Greece, from which place Captain Decker's telegram was sent. Secretary Daniels wired for fuller information." Although without definite details as to just what occurred, high officials of the Washington government had no doubt that the incident, no matter where the responsibility lay, would be promptly adjusted through diplomatic channels. President Wilson is determined that under no circumstances shall the United States be involved in a war with Turkey, but he will seek an apology. If the Turkish officers acted without the authority of the Ottoman government and the firing was not justified by naval procedure in a closed port, it is confidently believed here that the Ottoman government will render an apology. On account of the slow cable communication from Constantinople through the only available route, Bulgaria, Roumania, Austria and Italy, no message concerning the incident came from Ambassador Morgenthau, his last dispatches dated Nov. 14, only arriving Wednesday. They were of a routine character. Jessie Root Jenkins' Property. Cheyenne, Wyo.—An order filed in the office of Clerk of Court T. Joe Fisher settles the question of who shall inherit the property of Jessie Root Jenkins, who was murdered here by her husband, J. Warren Jenkins, in April, 1912. Judge W. C. Mentzer of the District Court in this order directs that Mrs. Jenkins' property, valued at $13,090.75, shall be distributed among the creditors and heirs of J. Warren Jenkins, to whom it descended by virtue of the will of the woman whom Jenkins murdered. The heir is Mrs. Annie Jenkins, mother of the murderer, and the principal creditors are the administrator of Jenkins' estate, his attorney in his trial for murder and the attorney for the administrator. URGE WILSON TO STOP STRIKE. Federal Operation of Colorado Coal Mines Advocated. Philadelphia, Pa.—The American Federation of Labor in annual convention unanimously adopted a resolution calling upon the President of the United States "to insist that the Colorado coal operators immediately comply with the federal plan of settlement" of the strike in that state, and "in the event they refuse that he take such steps as are necessary to have a receiver appointed for the mines affected, and operate them in the interest of the people, under federal supervision, until such time as the civil and political rights of the people are established." The resolution was adopted without discussion. The committee expressed sympathy for the strikers, and assured them support until the strike is settled. The convention also adopted by a vote of 150 to 33 a resolution raising the salary of the president of the federation from $5,000 to $7,500 a year, and that of the secretary from $4,000 to $5,000. Simple Service Over Roberts' Body. Ascot, England, Nov. 19.—Covered with the Union Jack and with his sword and service hat resting upon it, the coffin containing the body of Field Marshal Lord Roberts of Kandahar now lies in the small room in his modest residence here, in which the great soldier was wont to conduct family prayers, and in which there is a small altar and crucifix. The coffin arrived from Folkestone by special train. The ceremony which followed was simple in the extreme.

Secretary Bryan designated his private secretary, Manton M. Wyvell, as counselor of the international joint commission, a newly created office. This commission has jurisdiction over the boundary waters between the United States and Canada.

The privilege of living and knose, full of mysterious life, and the poseful reason we form an infinite great blessing. cannot be thankful cannot even begin age of living and knowing that there esterious life, and that for some also in we form an infinitesimal but etern Whoever cannot be thankful cannot even begin to appreciate life. The privilege of living and knowing that there is a mighty universe, full of mysterious life, and that for some also mysterious but purposeful reason we form an infinitesimal but eternal part of it, is a great blessing. We should be thankful for life. But the smallest favor, the most meager pleasure that we enjoy, is also a blessing, and for each and all of such blessings we should be thankful also. Life is made up of a multitude of blessings, many of which we are not disposed to recognize as such, because of our ignorance and shortsightedness. There are some ills and some misfortunes in life, for which we ourselves are not wholly to blame, but they are very few compared with our blessings. What we often call ills and misfortunes are usually blessings in disguise. The man who has not seen what he considered some great calamity turn into a great final blessing, is either yet very young on very obstinate and dumb. The so-called calamity may have changed his whole course of life, compelling him to give up things on which his heart was set, yet in after years, through greater and unexpected successes, or, perhaps, through a prolonged and more useful life, made possible only by that so-called calamity, he realizes the vastness and recognizes the mystery of the blessing that was so strangely bestowed upon him. Many there are, no doubt, who take no account of such unseen guidance, preferring to credit their own personal shrewdness or to satisfy their consciences or gratify their vanity with assumptions of their great luck, for which they are not indebted. But why not remember the Source of all blessings and be thankful? But the smallest favor, the most, is also a blessing, and for each and a thankful also. Life is made up of all which we are not disposed to recognize and shortsightedness. There lies in life, for which we ourselves, very few compared with our blind misfortunes are usually blessing and seen what he considered some real blessing, is either yet very you so-called calamity may have caused him to give up things over years, through greater and unough a prolonged and more useful called calamity, he realizes the value of the blessing that was so strange there are, no doubt, who take no a referring to credit their own person, asciences or gratify their vanity, for which they are not indebted source of all blessings and be thankful.

And then, whether you are living, well or afflicted, give thanks to God and knows the value of your rights. For the thoughtless as well as the mindful, Thanksgiving Day comes and brings its opportunity for a united rendering of recognition and praise unto the Author of all of the world's joys. Opportunity is one of the greatest words in the language of men. It is the beginning of the way to the expression of the highest thought and the deepest longings which the human heart and brain can possess. The opportunity to be thankful and to express that thankfulness is the greatest blessing of all. Let us not miss it. Of course, a special day for thankfulness is not altogether necessary, but the union of thought and action is in itself helpful, and the Thanksgiving festival is graciously remindful. If you have been afflicted, you have also had sympathy or pity or the promise, the hope or the realization of healing joys. If you have been disappointed or thwarted in virtuous plans or ambitions, you have also been strengthened and made wiser and more fit for higher and greater effort. If you have seen your plans prosper, and roseate skies now spread over you in cheerful promise of the future, let humility and modesty, rather than pompous vanity, attend your actions and strengthen your security. If you have prospered and gained and are enjoying the fruits of ripe and well rounded effort, remember the sunshine that lighted your way, the rain that nourished your seed, the wisdom that directed your course, the health and strength that supported and sustained you, and above all, the ordering of the ways and of nature over which you had no control. And then, whether you are great or small, thriving or striving, well or afflicted, give thanks to God that He has guided your way and knows the value of your righteous reward. DEMOCRATIC DELINQUENCY.

The old saw is, "There is nothing sure in this world except death and taxes," but another exception, amounting to more than a moral certainty, might have been included just as well as the visits of the Lone Reaper and the assessor. That Democracy will always prove delinquent to a public trust is a safe bet. In the nation and in the states where it has been given periodical trial the truth of the assertion has been abundantly proved. For six years this state has been Demoeratic from top to bottom. If ever Democracy had an open course and a fair trial, they were hers in Colorado. But at the height of her power the old lady's head began to swim; she danced with delight and sang with boisterous vigor; she heard her own voice of authority, liked it and cavorted in strange manner. She was drunk with power. She made laws for the pleasurable experiment of seeing herself obeyed. She plunged the state into a turmoil of strife and tried to make the world believe that she was rescuing the people from sand-baggers. The excitement grew to delirium, and then Democracy's plight was discovered. She and her cohorts were in an orgie of drunken power. The people began to administer to her broken doses of seltzer and Red Raven splits. They split her power in the state and in the cities and left her followers a wrangling mass of discredited shouters—and such they are today. They are fighting among themselves over the remnants of power which they are destined to lose. All of Colorado's important enduring legislation is Republican legislation; all of her great statesmen have been Republicans. Democracy had her day in Colorado, but, regardless of local spasms, it is over. She proved delinquent to her trust.

STUFFING FOR THE POULTRY Variety Here From Which It Should Be Easily Possible to Select One to Taste. Melt two tablespoonfuls butter and add one tablespoonful chopped onions, three cups soft bread crumbs, chopped liver and heart, one teaspoonful salt, one teaspoonful poultry seasoning and one-fourth teaspoonful pepper. If a moist stuffing is desired add hot water to the above. Chestnut Stuffing—Shell one quart of large, sound chestnuts. Put them in hot water and boil until the skins are softened, then drain off the water and remove the skins. Replace the blanched chestnuts in water and boil until soft. Take out a few at a time and rub them through a sieve. They mash more easily when hot. Season the mashed chestnuts with one tablespoonful butter, one teaspoonful salt, one-quarter teaspoonful of pepper, one teaspoonful grated lemon rind and one tablespoonful chopped parsley. Add one tablespoonful grated ham, two tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs and two well-beaten eggs. Beware of having the stuffing too wet. Celery Stuffing.—One quart bread crumbs, half a head of celery, two eggs, two tablespoonfuls butter, one tablespoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful of white pepper, one-quarter teaspoonful paprika and a grating of nutmeg. Rub the butter into the bread crumbs, then add the eggs well beaten, the seasonings and the celery chopped fine. Oyster Stuffing.—Two cupfuls oysters, one-fourth cupful of melted butter, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, one cupful cracker crumbs, two teaspoonfuls lemon juice, one teaspoonful salt and one-half teaspoonful white pepper. Drain and clean the oysters. Mix the cracker crumbs with the butter, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper, then add the oysters with two tablespoonfuls of their liquor. Peanut Stuffing.—Crumble a small loaf of stale bread, then season highly with salt and paprika, add one-eighth teaspoonful of powdered sweet herbs, one-half pint of shelled, roasted and ground peanuts, four drops of onion juice, one teaspoonful of chopped parsley and sufficient cream to moisten slightly. Blend well and stuff the turkey six hours before baking, if possible, so that the flavor of the dressing may have a chance to permeate the meat. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Bread and butter spread with chopped dates makes excellent school sandwiches. To slice bacon properly, slice down to the rind; do not attempt to slice through the rind. To pad the edges of doilies before embroidering them, work them in a course chainstitch. Broken rice is that which is sifted from the high priced grains, and is equally good in flavor. A long-handled buttonhook should be kept in the laundry to clean the lint from the tub outlets. When milk boils over, sprinkle salt on the stove at once; this will counteract the unpleasant odor. A small piece of camphor in the water in which cut flowers are put will make them last much longer. Turnip Gones. Wash turnip, pare and cut in cone shape with vegetable cutter, or in cubes; there should be three cupfuls. Put into boiling water and boll until partly done, then drain and put in a casserole with one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, one-half teaspoonful of sugar, one-quarter cupful of butter and one-third cupful of water. Cover and cook in moderate oven until turnips are soft. Riced Cheese Salad Mash a cream cheese or a homemade cup cottage cheese with one half cupful whipped cream, or stiffly beaten egg white. If the latter is used add one teaspoonful plain cream after mixing with cheese. Add salt to taste and run through a potato ricer onto a bed of lettuce leaves. Dot with either mayonnaise or boiled dressing, sprinkle with paprika and serve very cold Chocolate Crumb Cake This is original and very good to use up old cake, doughnuts, cookies, etc., three cups cake crumbs, one egg, one tablespoonful lard, one teaspoonful vanilla, one cupful milk, two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, two squares of melted chocolate, salt and flour to make a rather thick cake batter. To Tint Curtains Cream. Mix a bowl of cream starch and another of white. Add a small quantity of the cream starch to the white before each curtain is starched. This makes the curtains all the same tone, which would not be the case were they put directly into the cream starch. Soot on Carpet. To remove soot from carpet sprinkle it lavishly with salt before sweeping. Allow the salt to remain for an hour or so, that it may absorb the soot. Baked Potato Hint.

LANAHAN'S 1520 WELTON ST. --- AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Sam Venerable, an aged colored man, for 50 years a familiar figure in Paris, died at his home in this city, writes Tom Bodine, in the Paris (Mo.) Mercury, and it is not out of place to say that former Paris people, wherever they be, will pause with a little touch of regret on reading the announcement. Sam stood for much that was distinctive in the life of the older Missouri towns like Paris 40 years ago, and is enshrined in the memory of a multitude. He was hideously ugly, yet very beautiful by reason of the unfailing courtesy he showed on all occasions. Sam liked everybody and could be happy under the direst circumstances. Back in the days when cordwood was not a curiosity he officiated at every woodpile in Paris, and his coming was always an event to the children of the family, whose 'ast friend he was. Never was prettier music than the ring of Sam's double-bitted ax on a frosty morning, and, as we recollect now, robby could 'talk Indian' half so well as he or awaken laughter more eager or more joyous. All in all, those were famous autumn mornings, and looking back now it doesn't matter particularly whether "sniffenkykoss" was Indian, Bulgarian, Plattdteutsch, or just nothing at all. We don't know and we don't care—it expressed something that was in the heart, and that suffices. Roots and stems are immaterial. True, Sam got drunk, but so did the white folks for that matter—drunkenness was associated with gentility not so long ago—but one thing could always be said in Sam's favor. The drunker he got the happier he got, and the more courteous and deferential he became. True also that on such occasions, though not often, he "yelled." But still, however, notwithstanding, every man, colored or white, bond or free, is entitled to a yell now and then, whether he really has anything to yell about or not. As for Sam, we are quite sure he is walking up the golden streets this autumn morning, smiling happily on old friends. The recent report of the health department showing that the death rate among colored people of the District of Columbia is nearly double that of the white population received the attention of the conference of the colored Baptist ministers of Washington and vicinity, held at Zion Baptist church. Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins, pastor of McKinley Memorial church, recommended that inasmuch as colored ministers are in especially close touch with their congregations, the first Sunday in November be designated as a day on which all colored clergymen should call the attention of their parishioners to this fact and should point out the sanitary and other precautions tending to lower the death rate Rev. Lamkins further called upon members of the conference to take concerted action to reach the unsaved of the city, giving strong instances of the need of such steps. Other speakers were Miss Margaret Simpson of the Associated Charities, Rev. O. S. Sims of Pittsburgh and E. E. Willard, a Sioux Indian, recently baptized at McKinley church. The meeting was presided over by the executive of the conference, Rev. M. W. D. Norman, and Rev. J. I. Loving acted as secretary. At the National Negro Business league convention at Muskogee, Okla., it was stated that the 2,000,000 Negroes living in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas now have under their control, as owners and renters, about $300,000,000 worth of farm property and own 60,000 farms, containing 60,000,000 acres of land with farm property, land, live stock and farming implements worth $200,000,000. George R. Howe of Norway, Me., is planning to build on a hill in that town a fire-proof house, entirely of artificial stone, steel and glass. The floors and stairways will be of solid glass, while electricity will be used to a great extent to eliminate possibility of fire. A mendicant who was recently sentenced to five days in the workhouse, in New York city, for street begging, was, it was discovered, the owner of the large and well-furnished apartment house in which he lived. It was apparently the joy of faking that led him to choose a life of mendicancy. The first state tuberculosis sanatorium for colored people in this country is to be located in Delaware near Hope farm. It consists of several acres of well wooded and well watered land. A temporary building has been opened, with accommodations for about twenty patients. The dairy herd at the Nova Scotia agricultural college farm, consisting of pure-bred Ayrshires, Jerseys and Holsteins, average nearly ten thousand pounds of milk to each cow during 1911. According to the preliminary report of the census bureau, although the population of Negroes in the United States has increased 993,769 since 1900, in 1910 they formed only 10.7 of the total population, against 11.6 per cent in 1900. The total number of Negroes in the United States in 1910 was 9,827,763, compared with 8,883,944 in 1900. The increase for the decade was 11.2 per cent. In the same time there was an increase of 20.8 per cent among the native whites and 30.7 per cent among the foreign born whites. The Negroes are the only race in the country showing a larger percentage of females than males. It is gratifying to note that the Negroes form 14.5 per cent of the rural population of the country. For years Negro leaders have urged their people to stay on the farm and avoid the congestion of the cities. The Negro in the country is self-supporting, healthy, and in many cases better provided with this world's goods than his white neighbor on the same economic footing. This is particularly among the small farmers of the South, where the training of the Booker T. Washington school at Tuskegee has resulted in making some highly successful Negro farmers, in addition to the other industrial pursuits for which students are fitted. The total value of farm property operated by Negroes is shown to be $1,144,181,000 in 1910, which is no inconsiderable sum and is a large increase over the valuation of $499,941,000 in 1900. These figures are highly significant as showing the large number of Negro farmers there are in the country and the rapidity with which they are developing. Of the total Negro population more than seven million live in the country. In the ten years illiteracy has decreased from 57.1 to 30.4, while the death rate has decreased in the registration area from 29.4 per cent to 25.5 per cent. In every way the Negroes seem to have made substantial progress during the last decade.—Birmingham Age-Herald. Officers of the Colored Workers conference are as follows: President, Ven. Henry Baird Delany, D.D., Raleigh, N. C.; vice-president, Rev. Walter Dorsey McClane, B.D., Cambridge, Mass.; secretary, Rev. George Freeman Bragg, D.D., Baltimore, Md.; assistant secretary, Rev. James K. Satterwhite, Raleigh, N. C.; treasurer, Mr. Archie S. Nicholson, Philadelphia, Pa.; historiographer, Rev. Freeman Bragg, D.D., Baltimore, Md.; necrologist, Rev. Emmet E.

The new junior class number 38 and the total student body is 142. It has been found necessary to make use of the old west building and a number of graduate students are now quartered in it. The dean and all the faculty are now in residence except Professor Miller, who was detained in Italy by the illness and death of his mother. On the morning of September 27, Bishop Burch, acting for the bishop of New York, instituted Rev. Charles W. Baldwin as rector of St. Mary's church, Beechwood, Scarborough, N. Y., and preached the sermon. The new rector succeeds his brother, the late B. Oakley Baldwin, who died a few months ago. For the first time in the history of the Supreme court of the United States a colored attorney moved the admission of a white attorney to practice before the court. William R. Stewart, a colored attorney from Youngstown, O., was admitted to practice in connection with a damage suit brought by James Welsh of Youngstown against the Erie railroad, and Stewart moved the admission to practice of Emil J. Anderson, another Youngstown attorney. Until recent, cars there have been very few attorneys admitted to practice in the highest court. Each year, however, records an increasing number of colored attorneys of sufficient caliber to have business before the Supreme court. For a colored attorney to stand sponsor, however, for a Caucasian is without precedent. The greatest tulip exhibit ever possible anywhere outside Holland will be a part of the national exhibit of the Netherlands at the Panama-Pacific International exposition at San Francisco in 1915. Two acres will be devoted to beds of these flowers. Edmonton's newest municipally-owned public utility is a paving plant, to be established at a cost of $25,000. It is planned to lay at least 100,000 square yards of paving before the close of the season. This will provide work throughout the summer and fall months for a large number of men now unemployed. The institute for Negro school teachers of Caldwell and Hays counties was held in Lockhart, Texas. November 9 to 13. Many prominent educators were in attendance CROPS SHOW BIG GAIN MINE DEATH LIST 110 INCREASE $8,000,000 OVER LAST YEAR IN COLORADO. Hay and Apples Only Farm Products that Show Decrease in Prices in 1914 Compared with 1913. Denver.—Those crops of Colorado that last year brought to the farmers of the state $56,885,502 will have a value on the farms this year of $64,518,220, according to the November crop report by the bureau of crop estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture. The increase, 13 per cent, will be distributed among many more farmers than had profitable harvests last year, and the benefits to the state will therefore be much greater than indicated by the $8,000,000 increase. The values of those Colorado crops on which the government has already made quantitative estimates this year compare as follows with the values for last year: Total ..... $64,518,220 $66,885,502 The value of this year's crops are figured at current prices, as ascertained by the government, while those for the 1913 crops are the final fig- ures for that year, showing the totals received for the entire year's produc- tion at the market prices that pre- valled throughout the marketing months. It is therefore possible that the total for 1914 will be increased before the marketing period is ended. There has been a remarkable increase this year in the production of corn, wheat, apples, potatoes and bay, but in some cases prices are lower than they were a year ago. In sugar beets there has been a sharp decrease in acreage and tonnage, but prices will be higher than they were in 1913, as the sugar content of the beets this year is much higher than last year. The government gives the following summary of the preliminary estimates of production this year, and final estimates last year, of important products and farm prices November 1; Curtain Dies from Runaway Injuries. Boulder.—James Curtain, 57, one of the best known business men in this section of the state, and president of the Farmers' Land and Water Company, which has undertaken the reclamation of more than 3,000 acres of land near Wellington, died here as the result of injuries received in a runaway accident at Wellington two months ago. He came to Boulder eight years ago from Northville, S. D. He is survived by a widow and four daughters. Greeley.—Practically every business house in Greeley closed during the funeral of the late D. A. Camfield, builder of some of the finest buildings in Greeley, owner of the Home Gas & Electric Company, large stockholder in the street railway company, the Tribune-Republican newspaper, the City National bank and other prominent business concerns of Greeley. He was a pioneer of the city and one of its foremost citizens. His death occurred from apoplexy while in New York. Pumpkin Weighs Sixty-nine Pounds. Denver.—A sixty-nine-pound pumpkin, grown on the Copeland ranch north of Denver, is being exhibited at 1633 Arapahoe street. It is one of several of equal size which were grown on the ranch this year. The Copeland ranch took first prize for sugar beets in the farm products exhibit at the stock show last year. The ranch, which has an area of about 1,000 acres, is divided into ten garden tracts and some of the best vegetables sold in Denver are raised on it. Wipe Out Peril, Colorado Plea. Denver.—Alarmed at the continued prevalence of the foot and mouth disease among the stock of Eastern states, Colorado stockmen, through Senators Thomas and Shafroth, wired a request of the government that all animals affected by the disease be slaughtered. Their action followed a report that the United States Bureau of Animal Industry was planning to isolate and to salvage part of the herds in the quarantined territory, as a matter of economy. ACCORDING TO ANNUAL REPORT OF JAMES DALRYMPLE. Mine Inspector States More Than Eight in Every 1,000 Men Employed Are Killed in Year. WESTERN Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Increases are shown both in the number of men killed for each 1,000 men employed, and for each 1,000,000 tons of coal produced in 1913 in the coal mines of Colorado, according to the annual report of James Dalrymple, state inspector of coal mines. There were 110 men killed in 1913 in accidents in the mines. Fifty-one women were left widows and 108 children were left fatherless. The inspector says that there has been a steady increase in Colorado in the number of lives lost in the coal mines during the last three years—meaning the years 1911, 1912 and 1913—while there was a material decrease in the number of lives lost in the coal mines of the United States as a whole. The year for which his report was made covers three months and a week of the strike of coal miners which is now in progress. His comparative table on the number of men killed in Colorado coal mines, as taken from bulletins issued by the director of the United States bureau of mines, shows in 1912 there were 7,005 men killed per 1,000 men employed in the state's mines, while in 1913 there were 8.60 men killed per 1,000. The average of the United States as a whole for 1912 was 3.15 men per 1,000. The number of men killed per 1,000,000 tons mined in Colorado was 8.90 in 1912 and 11.86 in 1913. The percentage for the whole United States in 1912 was 4.29 per 1,000,000 tons. There were 354 men injured in Colorado mine accidents during 1913, an average of 27.5 per 1,000 men employed, according to the report which is made up of reports of accidents given to the inspector by the operating companies, as required by law. The inspector's report shows further that there were 178 mines in operation. Sixteen new mines were opened up and seven old mines reopened, while twelve mines were closed. The total number of tons of coal produced was 9,268,939. The decrease in production in 1913 was 1,740,000 tons. The number of men employed as miners was 7,696. Average number of days worked for all producing mines, 192. The total number of men employed in and about the mines was 12,871. The average daily production of each miner was 6.26 tons. The average annual production of each miner was 1,203 tons. The average price paid the miner was 55 2-3 cents a ton for coal mined. This makes the average yearly earnings of the coal miners of the state $669.67 each. The total number of tons of coke produced was 879,186. The total number of coke ovens in operation was 2,137. The total number of men employed at the coke ovens was 620. The number of men killed underground was 104. The number killed on the surface was six. The causes of the accidents were falls of rock and coal, 49; mine cars and motors, 6; dust explosions, 37; suffocation from marsh gas, 2; miscellaneous, including premature blasts, electricity, shafts, mules, 12; machinery and railroad cars, 4. The amount of compensation for death and injury was $33,593.63. The cost of development during the year was $563,641.19. The tons of lignite coal produced reached 1,928,676; of semi-bituminous coal, 720,353; of bituminous, 6,567,256; of anthracite, 52,654. The number of tons produced for each life lost was 84,263, and the number produced for each non-fatal accident was 26,183. During the last three months of the year, while the strike was in effect, the production was 1,725,031 tons, as against 3,213,349 for the same period in 1912. Finds No Hoof and Mouth Disease. Denver.—Not a single instance which gives rise to serious suspicion of hoof and mouth disease among Colorado cattle has been discovered, according to Dr. W. W. Yard, state veterinarian, although the lines of quarantine are being drawn tight in every section of the state and investigators are alert at stock yards, farms, shipping and receiving centers. [This is an excellent time, says Dr. Yard, for the people to note the efficiency of Colorado's veterinary police system. Denver.—Acting Governor Fitzgarrald granted a parole to Edward Belts, who was sentenced to serve thirty days in the county jail. Investigates Train Service Protest. Denver.—Claude W. Fairchild, inspector for the State Public Utilities Commission, went to Alamosa to investigate a complaint by citizens against the Denver & Rio Grande railroad's suspension of a daily passenger train service between Salida and Alamosa. The company recently stopped the daily service and instituted a tri-weekly service between the two towns, running a mixed passenger and freight train. A number of citizens entered a complaint with the commission against the action. ERNEST HOWARD, Carpenter, Job and Repair Work. Paints, Oils and Glass. Coal, Wood 1021 21st Street.

TALES OF ACTORS Not Usually a Day of Great Rejoicing for Them, But They Tell of Past Experiences Which Have TO THE actor Thanksgiving day usually means only a day of harder work than usual—a day when there are special matinees and when luncheon and dinner are hurried through so as to be at the theater in time to make up and play the part that the public, paying for especial amusement on this day, demands. Of course, a picturesque Thanksgiving story dealing with theatrical people would tell of driving snowstorms, long cold walking of railroad ties, performances that were not prefaced by dinners, and with the hope of unearthing some such sad tales the interviewer hunted out a group of players and asked them for "experiences." Thanksgiving Tragedy. First, there was Miss Grace Huff who was requested to tell her Thanks giving memories, grave or gay. The charming leading lady laughed, "Well," she said, "my funniest memory was a tragedy at the time, for the first turkey I ever cooked was on a Thanksgiving day. I did not know that there was to be company, but my mother had invited some friends to dinner, and you may imagine my horror when I realized that some one outside of the family was coming to test my first attempt at cooking the national bird. I have had stage fright many times in my life, but I never, never had the stage fright equal to that I experienced when that turkey was brought to the table—and I didn't know how it was going to be. "Another Thanksgiving that stands out vividly in my memory was one that I spent in a little town out West. On the veranda where I was sitting was a poor cripple boy playing with a ball. I was watching him and reflecting that while I wasn't in the happiest surroundings, I had a lot for which to be thankful, because I didn't happen to be deformed, like the poor boy. "I felt very sorry for that boy and very kindly toward him, so that when his ball rolled away and down a hill I started after it for him. Just imagine my surprise when, suddenly, he threw away his crutch and swore violently at me, telling me in no uncertain terms to 'keep away from his ball.' That knocked a great deal of the Thanksgiving spirit out of me, I can assure you, for it was such a shock to find that the poor little cripple for whom I felt so very, very sorry was only a fake." Tale of Too Much Turkey. Miss Huff's narrative stopped amid a ripple of laughter, and some one suggested that "Lowell" tell about his Thanksgiving. Mr. Sherman, the handsome leading man, looked gloomily into space and, of course, it was expected that he had some beautifully romantic experiences to relate—something that would thrill the matinee girls. ```markdown ``` But alas and alack for ideals! But alas and after one Thanksgiving," he announced after a bit, "that stands out in my memory as the saddest I have ever spent. I had been ill for two weeks before—under the doctor's care and had nim at my side all the time at home and in the theater. I hadn't eaten a mouthful of solid food for two weeks, when suddenly the day of Thanksgiving I felt myself again. "Naturally I wanted to celebrate my recovery, so I planned a Thanksgiving dinner that was really a dinner—every thing from soup to nuts! How I did enjoy that dinner! "But it proved my undoing, for in half an hour I was again under the doctor's care, and while he diagnosed my illness as a "plain case of overeating,' I wasn't able to get out of bed again for over a week." After telling of this time when he smashed the ideal of the matinee girl, who never, never will believe that her hero could overeat, Mr. Sherman continued: "The actor doesn't usually have a very jolly time of on holidays, you know. All he does is work, and he has to eat in a hurry. Last Thanksgiving I ate my dinner alone in Rector's, New York, and I was so lonely that I had one of their table telephones brought to me and I called up nearly everyone I knew and talked to them—just to hear the sound of a friendly voice." When the West Was Woolly. Miss Georgie Woodthorpe went back to her childhood days for her reminiscence, to the time when the West was really wild and woolly. "I was very young," she explained, "and was playing what we called juveniles then, but which are now known as ingenuine roles. I remember I was on the boat that went up the Snake river to Dalles, Wash., and on that boat was the governor of Oregon, who was going up to see the great Indian chief, Homelli, about some treaty or other, the details of which I forget, excepting that it concerned two other chiefs that were being held prisoners for their friendship to the whites. "This Thanksgiving day always stands out in my memory and I shall never forget the interest I felt in seeing this big Indian invited into the cabin where we had our Thanksgiving dinner, and sitting down to the table with his blankets wrapped around him. I scarcely ate any dinner, but just sat and watched Chief Homelli enjoy the turkey and wines that were served, and after the dinner he sat down in a corner of the cabin with the white men while they smoked the pipe of peace together. "It was on this trip that I heard the first phonograph—and that was long before the day of Edison. I remember my amazement at hearing a voice come from this little box—a box scarcely any larger than my make-up box here. At first we thought there was a ventriloquist in the room, but after a while we were convinced that we were listening to a real talking machine. I don't know who invented this—all I remember about it is that it contained a little cylinder that turned as the voice proceeded. "And that," concluded Miss, Woodthorpe, "is one of the most interesting Thanksgiving experiences I have ever had—my first view of a talking machine, and a dinner with an Indian chief." POOR OUTLOOK — "Why, what's the matter, son?" "Boo hoo! You'd cry, too, if it was Thanksgivin' an' your folks was vegetarians." THANKSGIVING ODE OF THE OLDEN TIME THANKSGIVING ODE OF THE OLDEN TIME Poet In the Quaint Phraseology of Centuries Ago Expressed Gratitude for the Kindness of the Creator, From a "Thankfule Heart." ORD, Thou hast given me a cell, Wherein to dwell; A little house, whose humble roof Of harmless thoughts, to watch and keep Me, while I sleep. Low is my porch, as is my fate, Both void of state; And yet the threshold of my doore Is worne by th' poore, Who thither come, and freely get Good words or meat. Like as my parlour, so my hall And kitchin's small: A little butterie, and therein A little byn, Which keeps my little loafe of bread Unchipt, unlead; Some brittle sticks of thorne or briar Make me a fire. Close by whose living coale I sit, And glow like it. Lord, I confesse, too, when I dine, The pulse is Thine; And all those other bits that bee There placed by Thee; The worts, the purslain, and the messe Of water cresse Which of Thy kindnesse Thou has sent; And my content Makes those, and my beloved beet To be more sweet. Tis Thou that crownest my glittering hearth Lord, 'tis Thy plenty-dropping hand That solies my land, And giv'st me, for my bushell sowne, Twice ten for one; Thou mak'st my teeming hen to lay Her egg each day; Besides my health, wees to bear Me twins each yeare; The while the conduits of my kine Run creame for wine; All these, and better Thou dost send Me, to this end. That I should render, for my part, A thankful heart; Which, don't with hincense, I resign As wholly Thine. But the acceptance, that must be, O Lord, by Thee. A LET US ALL GIVE THANKS Season Is a Time to Be Glad, and to Make Others Around Us Partake of Our Joy. Let us make this the best Thanksgiving of our lives. Remember our gratitude is not measured by the size of the family larder. Abundance tends to contentment, but many a man in limited circumstances is happier than others of larger means. Real wealth and worth lies not in the abundance a man hath, but in contentment's gold. When the heart is full the whole world is richer. Your smile will go a long way toward making someone else happy. A cheerful life opens avenues to future achievement hidden to him who sees no good around him. The past is a matter of record, the present is near and real, the future is limited only by yourself. Make it all it can be, and history will add a new chapter, and you will be the hero. Let us give thanks. The nation needs the inspiration of your song. There are plenty of groans and grunts and growls. We need more song. It haint no use to grumble and complain; It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice. You will feel more manly by being glad. It adds to your self-respect and makes you feel that you have a place in the world. Inspire your age with a new type of chivalry. Meet drones and kickers with a smile and you will do much to bring in the good time that is to be. Wherever you are let this be a real period of thanksgiving. Let us see if we cannot add to the world's joy by the spirit of our own living. Universal Day of Thanks. About the Institution of Thanksgiving as it exists today there is nothing sectarian or sectional, but over the entire Union the day is observed by all Americans alike as the time for family reunion, good cheer and general rejoicing and gratitude. Spoiled It for Him. Rev. Mr. Goodman—Well, Willie, did you enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner? Willie—No. We had company and I had to eat with my fork. Do You Know That— When the fries has nipped the 'simmons an' the pawpaws' russet glow Sets a fellow's mind a-trapsin' to th' days of long ago; When the frost king's shimmerin' crystals deck the woodland's regal dress, An' th' apples' melow fragrance steals from out the cider press; When a fellow's footsteps crackle in the crisp autumn air, An' it's joy to be just livin' in a land so wondrous fair; The COLORADO STATESMAN An' regale myself with visions of that flaky punkin pie. From the distant hills an' valleys flock the nomads of the earth, Drawn by mystatic waves of feelin' to the hamlets of their birth. Blitterin' brocade, ragged jacket, eyes grown stern in sordid quest. All are lured by vagrant memories; nil obey th' same behest. Deep within each heart is hidden treasured wealth from memories' store. For across the dim horizon lie the hallowed days of yore; Wistful eyes smile through th' tear drops, for the train is drawin' nigh— IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Nigh to mother gladly waiting—nigh unto that punkin pie. JOB PRINTING When the wind is cold an' plercin' an' the pond is frozen hard, An' the turkeys loudly gobble as they strut about th' yard; There's a most allurin' odor floats out through the kitchen door That is mighty satisfyfin' when a fellow's feelin' sore, There's a hustle an' a bustle an' a mystifyin' look To th' women in th' kitchen as they churn an' bake an' cook, Fill I hanker most distressful—an' I watch with wistful eye All the appetizin' fixin' their put in that punkin pie. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY One by one the leaves have fallen an' the land is white with snow An' the icicles are hangin' from the eaves in spectral glow; So I snuggle 'neath the comforts while the fire cracks an' roars. Bravely warrn' 'gainst the blizzard that is ragin' out o' doors. While the wind is loudly sighin' I repose myself for sleep. But anon I'm quickly wakin' for an anxious little peep, Just to see if dawn is breakin', if the light I can espy; For I know that on the morrow mother'll cut that punkin pie.

There's a satisfy'in thickness to that yellow, cream mold— The creation of a master with its faded tints of gold— An' I'm filled with dreamy rapture as its depths I contemplate For its aromatic sweetness all my senses ag- gravate. Turkey, stuffin', and the trimmin's are but by- ways to th' throne. Where it reigns a regal monarch in a kingdom all its own; An' I'm filled with satisfaction—though I heave a plaintive sigh.

Feeling That Is Universal Among Mankind—Has Root in Knowledge of Dependence. The impulse to return thanks for the bounty of nature has been practically universal among mankind in all ages and in all religions. It is as natural as the instinct that inspires the hope of immortality of man's dependence upon a supreme being. It is one with the involuntary appeal that springs unbidden to the lips of all in the hour of crisis when human help can do no more. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction It is a coincidence) worthy of thought that the one nation which set aside a day for national thanksgiving should be the people above all others most blessed with peace and prosperity. Grumble as we may at the shortcomings of our civilization, however we may think our affairs should be ordered better, we should reflect that at no time in the history of the race has there been a people in possession of greater advantages, of more generally diffused abundance, with more encouraging prospects than ourselves. The problems that confront us are in our own hands. We will solve them eventually and others as they arise. We may stumble, may mistake the path, may be compelled to turn back to get on the right road, but of our ultimate progress there can be no doubt. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Let, therefore, each for himself and herself, return individual thanks today. If drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not thee in awe, Such boasting as the Gentiles use Or lesser breeds without the law Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget!

MONG the new ways of doing the hair which were launched with the oncoming of the present season the style known as the "French twist" made headway faster than some other of the new ideas. As ordinarily done it proved a rather trying coiffure to all but youthful, round-faced wearers. By bringing the long coil of hair to the top of the head and pulling a portion of it forward on to the forehead a more becoming arrangement resulted, especially when the hair was first waved. At the end of the summer women had become very tired of the sameness in fashionable coiffures and were eager for something—almost anything which promised change and variety. Hairdressers took advantage of this state of things, and the readiness with which the French twist was accepted, to introduce some new ideas. Embodying something of the French twist, in conjunction with neatly waved hair, they have produced some charming coiffures, none of them more artistic and few of them as pleasing as that pictured here. This coiffure is called the "triple French twist." It is soft-looking and becoming to almost any face, and it is distinctly new. It does not require a great abundance, but takes some time, as all the hair is first waved in large Seen at the Ribbon Counter A H THOSE who turn their attention to the designing of dress accessories made of ribbon have supplied such a world of novelties during recent seasons that one might think no new thing in ribbons possible. But try to pass the ribbon counter with only a balance and find how quickly some startlingly novel and beautiful bit ofinery will seize your attention. Those who work with ribbons are inspired by these beautiful fabrics and watch the passing modes from the viewpoint of the ribbon specialist. Therefore, if you linger at the ribbon counter you are sure to be charmed by some novelty produced by the adaptation of ribbons to certain whims of fashion. Besides the things that we have not seen before there are those with which we are familiar, but they are made up in the new patterns in ribbon and with novel finishing touches in ornaments. The most fascinating pieces in the array of novelties are designed for neckwear. An example from among these is shown in the ribbon neck-ruff, of which a picture is given here. It is made of moire ribbon in broad black and white stripes, box plaited to a band of black moire ribbon having a white plot edge. This band fastens at one side with a snap fastener under a knot with hanging loops and ends. A handsome American Beauty rose made of satin ribbon and in the natural rose color is fastened to the band just back of the loops and ends. --- regular waves. Also small supports of crepe hair may be necessary, in case the natural hair is thin, to support it. The hair must first be parted off at each side in a part extending from the forehead to the nape of the neck. This divides the hair into three equally heavy strands, one along the center and one at each side of the head. Each portion is then waved. The hair at the sides is combed forward to be out of the way, and the central portion separated in three strands and lightly rolled into three twists, which are pinned down and afterward combed together so that they have the appearance of one long twist of hair. This must be soft and loose-looking and to provide a support the hair at the crown is to be tied before it is twisted, and afterward spread into the long roll. Invisible wire pins help to join the three separate twists into one. The hair at the sides is brought up to the twist, the ends turned under and the side hair pinned along the center twist with small wire pins. If there is not enough hair to make a soft, abundant appearance small pads or supports are placed next the center twist at each side, the waved hair combed over these and the ends pinned under. + + This is one of the most elaborate of neckwear pieces which tempt the passerby to consider ribbons. Plain bands of velvet ribbon, without an attached ruff, fasten with hooks and eyes or snap fasteners at the left side, and set close up about the throat. Two small half-open roses of satin in bright colors are set against the band over the fastening. Sometimes a maline ruff or one of lace is sewed to the band, extending across the back of the neck. One of the brilliant ribbon vests with which the quiet suit may be so effectively brightened up is pictured here. It is made of a heavy figured moire in deep red and soft green colorings, having vague figures outlined in black. This is a useful accessory for the woman who wants to make one suit answer the purposes of two. For the tourist it is especially handy, converting traveling garb into something better suited to the hotel dinner. A shopping bag of black and white striped ribbon is made by joining three lengths together, so that ribbons of moderate width can be used for it. The lower edge is gathered into a crocheted ornament, and the upper edge faced with black satin. A casing is run in the facing and the bag opened or closed on narrow satin ribbons run through the casing. Small bows of this narrow ribbon decorate the sides, and sufficient length of it extends beyond the casing to furnish a means of carrying the bag. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
