PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY FOUR HUNDRED MILES OF SHOES VOL. XX1. FOUR H DRED OF Business League Talk No. 2. Tuskegee, Alabama. Can you imagine a row of shoes placed side by side and extending a distance of four hundred miles? If you can you will have some idea of the number of shoes it requires for the Negroes of America every year. It is a fair estimate to allow each individual two pairs of shoes a year. This gives us twenty million pairs a year or about 500,000 a day. It is also fair to place the average cost of each pair at $2.50. We then discover that we are spending something like $165,000 per day for shoes alone, not including repairing and findings. Need we ask how much of this money goes to furnish employment for Negro boys and girls. We know only too well that scarcely one per cent of this money goes back into Negro enterprises. In other words, we are keeping 10 shoe factories with a daily capacity of 5,000 pairs, busy all the year to supply us with shoes and not one of these factories hire Negro help only in a menial capacity. Just how long we will content ourselves to sit idly by the way side and whine over our lot, at the same time indulging in such a foolish extravagance of racial resources is a problem. According to the Negro Year Book for 1914-1915, there are over one hundred cities in the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri and Kentucky, having a Negro population in excess of 7,000. According to the averages above, this represents an annual expenditure of about $35,000 per year by Negroes in each of these cities for shoes. If ten colored men in each of the 100 cities selected should invest $100 each in a shoe factory, they would have a paid-in capital of $100,000 with which to start business. With this amount of money, they could erect a factory, install modern equipment and organize a system of distribution through chain stores which would adequately supply the colored people in these 100 cities. ```markdown ``` On account of the nearness of the tanneries of Philadelphia, the factory could be located in either Richmond or Norfolk. Atlanta and Memphis are advantageously situated for distributing stations to supply the 100 chain stores. Being a part of a well defined sales and distributing system, each of these stores could be made self sustaining and an important unit in the annual income. Of course it would take a vast amount of work to do this and there would be mistakes made in the beginning, but no great thing was ever accomplished without work and worry. We must first find a man with the vision, perseverance and ability of Heman E. Perry who built the Standard Insurance Company and let him come forward and undertake the work of assembling and organizing the stockholders. Then would follow in rapid succession the forming of the company, the erection of the factory, the distribution of the labor, and an endless array of important details down to the most difficult part of the proposition—advertising and educating our women that a Phillis Wheatley $4.00 shoe is just as good as any of the popular $4.00 shoes now on the market. Note: A description of the Regal System of Chain Shoe Stores is given in the December issue of the magazine, Advertising and Selling. DENVER COLORADO - SATURDAY, JANUARY 9 1915 State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ANTS WHO ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO - S. NEGRO REPUBLICANS GET PLUMS IN OHIO Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 29.—The Republican caucus for the organization of the Ohio Senate and House of Representatives was held Monday in this city. Many leaders were present, among them being Thomas W. Fleming, member of the Republican, State Executive Committee, and Samuel E. Woods of Cleveland, Arthur J. Riggs of Springfield, E. T. Banks of Dayton, F. H. Harding of Marietta, Richard Newell of Murray City, Thomas E. Greene of Youngstown, Robert Goins of Bellefontaine, and many others. The Republican senators held a secret caucus on Saturday and had failed to select a colored man for a clerkship. Upon learning this the colored leaders immediately got busy. Thomas W Fleming insisted upon being heard in behalf of his candidate for enrolling clerk. Senator Howard, the caucus selection for president pro tem of the Senate granted Mr. Fleming this privilege. Mr. Fleming appeared in the Senate chamber and made an impressive appeal to the senators in behalf of his candidate and placed before them the name of Attorney Chas. S Sutton of Cleveland, O., for enrolling clerk. A J. Riggs also spoke. These talks influenced the senators to break their slate and Mr. Sutton was selected. Charles Logan of Marion, O., Frank Robinson of Chillicothe, O., and G W Davis of Tiffin, O., were selected as custodians of the Senate. In the House, Calvin W. Reynolds of Columbus, O., was elected as engrossing clerk, and Thaddeus Wheeler, of Dayton, Ohio, will be selected as index clerk. Several other minor places will be given to colored men. Preparations are being made by the colored people of this city to take a prominent part in the inaugural ceremonies of Governor elect Frank B. Willis on January 11, 1915. Many prominent colored people from different sections of the State will be here. BELGIAN REFUGEES TO BE COLONIZED IN SOUTH Belgians are coming to the United States with their families. The southern settlement and development organization of Baltimore has started the first group of ten families, counting twenty-five persons, but several hundred others are getting ready to come over. Land has been selected for them in several southern states, experts from agricultural colleges having made the examinations of soil. The Belgians are met in London and they pay their own fare to New York. Their fair is paid in the United States out to the lands, where they find comfortable houses, barns, one horse each, one cow, 12 hens, farm implements, a year's provisions for the family, livestock and fertilizers. Each family gets a small farm on long credit, and their habits of industry and thrift are expected to be ample security for the balance. This is one of the most important colonizing plans ever started. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS FURNISHED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Boston Clay, of Muscatine, Iowa has invented a triple button cutting machine. It has been patented and is now handled by an eastern syndidcate It is reported that S. H. Dudley the famous comedian and theatrical booking agent, will put a mammoth tent show next season which will employ over a hundred colored people. Charles H. Watkins, a young colored man, is said to be one of the best salesmen employed by the Story and Clark Piano Company of St. Louis. His sales for this year will exceed $80,000 and entitle him to the annual bonus of $150.00 offered by his company. Within five years since its organization, The Royal Circle of Friends of Helena, Arkansas, has enrolled a membership of 30,000 in nine States and paid out to the beneficiaries of their deceased over $200,000. Dr. R. A. Williams is Supreme President. J. Andrews of Denver, Colorado conducts a large and successful truck garden and hog rance. According to the Colorado Statesman, Mr. Andrews finds little of the "color line" in his business. The Colored Federated Charities of Houston, Texas, were donated the use of the City Auditorium for the Christmas tree for poor colored children. A Christmas Fund of $20,000 was drawn out by nearly 1,000 depositors of the Brown Savings Bank of Norfolk, Virginia. The bank is managed by colored men. The colored Odd Fellows are erecting a $75,000 building in St. Paul, Minnesota. According to the New Age of Los Angeles, California, Ellis Warren of that city has supervision over the hauling and shipping department of C. Leonardt, contractor. The fact that this firm has erected most of the sky-scrapers in Los Angeles, emphasizes the importance of Mr. Warren's position. RACE NEWS Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 29. That the financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, during the past year has been able to collect more than $100,000 for general church claims, missions and education, was shown in the report of Dr. J. S. Jackson, secretary of the financial board, before the semi-annual session Wednesday and Thursday, December 23 and 24. The board is composed of one member from each episcopal district and was presided over by Bishop J, S. Caldwell. hearing of the injunction proceedings instituted by white Mystic Shriners is scheduled to be heard in the Superior Court next Wednesday. As the validity of various branches of colored Masons is to be attacked, it is likely that the case will finally reach the United States Supreme Court. Philadelphia, Jan. 1.—No race or color lines may be drawn by moving picture theater managers in providing seating arrangements Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 29. Restaurants and lunch counters which have heretofore catered to both white and Negro trade will be compelled by a new law to either cater to one race solely, build partitions in the places of business, or go out of business entirely. Judge A. O. Lane, city commissioner in charge of the police department announced that the owners of these places would be given a week or two in which to conform to the law. He thinks the law will be obeyed without resistance. Houston, Texas, Dec. 29.—More than $10,000 a month was received by the Mutual Aid Department of the United Brothers of Friendship of Texas, according to the last quarterly report submitted by F. W. Gross, secretary, in the meeting on December 21 in the U. B. F. building, Milam street. Total receipts for the last quarter amounted to $32,916 29. $21,000 were set aside to settle mortuary claims for the quarter and the secretary reported that $34,000 of the order's funds were invested in interest-bearing gold bonds, first mortgages and deposited in savings departments of national banks. Norfolk, Va., December 30.—A fire which destroyed property valued at $20,000, almost totally wrecked the business office and plant of the Journal and Guide, P. B. Young, editor, located at 733 Church street. The newspaper plant had an estimated value of $10,000 and extent of the damage is estimated at $3,000. Other occupants of the building who were heavy losers were J. T. Tanner and Co., real estate brokers, the Knights of Gideon, and D. S Alston, insurance. The Journal and Guide will be issued Saturday as usual and will not be suspended on account of fire. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 29.—The NO 20 hearing of the injunction proceedings instituted by white Mystic Shriners is scheduled to be heard in the Superior Court next Wednesday. As the validity of various branches of colored Masons is to be attacked, it is likely that the case will finally reach the United States Supreme Court. Philadelphia, Jan. 1.—No race or color lines may be drawn by moving picture theater managers in providing seating arrangements for patrons, according to an opinion handed down by Judge S. J. M. McCarrell of the Dauphin county court. The decision settles so far as the lower courts are concerned, the appeal of Athens George, a proprietor of "movies," from a verdict of a Dauphin county jury, which convicted George of discriminating against a Negro by refusing him a seat in any other place but the balcony. George asked for an arrest of judgment and a new trail, alleging that the act of assembly which he was charged with violating should be construed to give him the right to say where and how his patrons should be seated. In deciding against George and refusing the new trial Judge McCarrell said that the act of May 19, 1887, providing for the "civil rights of all people regardless of race or color," had been violated. WHITE AND BLACK TO CLASH IN WAR. Washington, Jan. 2.—The prediction that the next great war of the world will be between the white and dark races, and that it will be hastened by the action of the senate in adopting an amendment to the immigration bill excluding from entrance into the United States, members of the "African or Negro black race," was made today by the Rev. J. Milton Waldron, a leader of the Negro race. Dr. Waldron is pass of the Shiloh Baptist church, and member of the advisory council of the National Association for the Advancement of Negroes. He was formerly president of the Washington branch of the association. He was a member of President Wilson's inauguration committee. Japan will lead in the war on the side of the darker races, in the opinion of Dr. Waldron. The action of the senate has aroused a storm of protest among the leaders of the Negroes. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Some weeks ago, through our southern papers, I made a suggestion that each Negro family raise one or more additional pig this year in order to help bring about more prosperity in the South. I have been surprised to note how well the suggestion has been received and how many are following it; one minister in Uniontown went so far as to organize a pig club in his church. Now, I want to make one other suggestion, that, in my opinion, is of still greater and more practical importance. For months the great cry has been all through the South to stop growing cotton or reduce the acreage. Chambers of commerce, business leagues, state legislatures, and other bodies have passed resolutions without number urging that we in the South stop growing so much cotton. To stop growing cotton is very easy; in fact, it is always easy to stop work, but merely to stop growing cotton is a mere negative proposition and will not, I fear, leave the South much better off than it is at present. If we destroy, or cripple, a great industry, we should be very sure to have another, or a number of others equally good to put in its place. In this connection it should be kept in mind as a matter o f great importance, that if the labor once leaves the farm by reason of changing crops it will be very difficult to get the labor to return to the farm in after years. The great cry is to grow food crops. That is well, but one must keep in mind that the great masses of Negroes who have actually grown the most of the cotton in the South for years, and who live upon the most valuable land in the South, do not hear of the resolutions that are passed by these various bodies. These people have been trained to grow nothing but cotton and do not know how to grow anything else. In fact, in many cases, they have not been permitted and are not now permitted to grow anything else! We must also bear in mind that the largest land owners seldom visit their plantations, some not more than once or twice a year, and hence can be of little service in teaching these Negro tenants how to change all at once from a cotton-producing crop to a food-producing crop—Booker Washington, in the Birmingham Age-Herald. John B. Keys, who came to Oklahoma as a homesteader in 1891, with $65 in his pockets, is one of the wealthiest Negroes in Okmulgee, a thriving city within 30 miles of Muskogee, rich in oil and gas properties. Keys owns a solid block of two-story brick buildings in the heart of the best business section, with 16 cottages and six store buildings, and has the respect of his white and black competitors in business. During the depression of 1897, Keys and his wife, like thousands of other pioneers in Oklahoma, had to undergo many hardships and sustain heavy losses. For days and days they had scarcely enough to eat. They had to go into the woods and gather acorns from which they made soup and porridge. Today his rents amount to $1,000 a month, from $100,000 worth of buildings, and his receipts from the sale of groceries amount to $1,200 a day. Dr. Booker T. Washington, as president of the National Negro Business league, has urged his people to "get off the defensive in explaining why the Last year there were overflows and excessive rainfalls. Many Negroes were unable to make crops at all, especially where they depended upon one crop. A few made some corn and cotton. There is no market for the cotton. They have raised no foodstuff. There is no cash to be gotten. Acute distress prevails among these people. Ask any so-called country banker how many Negroes are begging loans, and his reply will give a fair answer to the conditions everywhere. Something must be done to prevent the repeated recurrence of these distressful conditions. Will the authorities embrace the opportunity for constructive work among the Negro farmers of Texas? The opportunity lies in the well equipped agricultural department of the state college at Prairie View and the inauguration in connection therewith of extension work for the popular education of these Negro farmers in conformation with the provisions of the Smith-Lever bill, which work is being directed by Hon. Clarence Ousley of College Station, Texas.

Let us be so thrifty and industrious that people will have no time to talk about our carlessness and idleness. . . . One big, definite fact in the direction of achievement and construction will go farther in securing rights and removing prejudices than many printed pages of defense and explanation." "I have known of the work of the Creek-Seminole Agricultural college, Boley, Okla., for some time. Am acquainted with John C. Leftwich, the president. The college is to be turned over to the Christian church. Brother Leftwich is a man of ability, thoroughly reliable, a Christian, and is the best representative of his race, working for the Christian church, among the colored people of the state. I am glad to commend him to the brethren and can assure them that any contribution will assist one of the most worthy enterprises with which I am acquainted. Receive him in the Lord. The need cannot be overstated. The man who bears such a letter from J. H. O. Smith as that given above needs no further indorsement as to his integrity or ability. We have recently had the pleasure of meeting President Leftwich and going over his plans. We unhesitatingly indorse his theory of voluntary segregation. The Negro must work out his own problem just as every other race must do, and the presence, in close contact, or in a mixed population of another race, so far removed in many elemental characteristics as is the Anglo-Saxon, invariably comes to be a hindrance to true progress—Christian Standard. Hampton institute is proud of the excellent record that has been made by the rank and file of its students. The women graduates and former students are engaged in work which aims to elevate the home, the school, and the community in the vital things of life. The Hampton men have been pioneer workers in agricultural and industrial enterprises. They have sacrificed their personal comforts to engage in uplift work for their people. Since Hampton aims to train young men and women to earn an honest living and help their respective races, it has combined with rare success the elements of industrial and academic education. Dr. George P. Phenix, vice-president of Hampton institute, has said: "Moral qualities, which in the aggregate make strong character as well as economic efficiency, are developed through this combination of industrial work by day and academic work by night, as they could not be by either alone, and longer hours are made possible in the trade, agricultural, and domestic science departments. "Every student in the trade school has one hour of study early in the morning, eight hours of work in the trade school, and two hours of academic work in the evening period. This makes 11 hours a day, outside of which he must get time for meals, the care of his room, religious services, and recreation. Yet the students gain in health, in skill, in scholarship and in character." tion will do more to build up a better class of Negro citizens in this state than any other one agency. Its wisdom will immediately manifest itself in increased production of a larger variety of crops. The organization of this extension work among Negro farmers at this time is urgent. The effort will meet a hearty response from a grateful people, a patient, hard-working people.—Wade C. Rollins, in the Houston Post.

Tells of Benefits of Assessments on Full Cash Basis; Goes Over Industrial Conditions, and Treats of Many Subjects at Length. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver, Jan. 9.—Governor Ammons' message was delivered at a joint session of the Senate and House, Friday afternoon. In part the Governor said: MR. PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE TWENTIETH GENERAL ASSEMBLY. BLY—LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. In obedience to the requirements of law I have the honor to submit to your attention some matters of importance suggested by the experience of the last two years. Previous legislation had added hundreds of thousands of dollars to the fixed charges of the state without providing adequate revenues to meet them. By curtailing some of the departments through strict economy because of greater efficiency secured by placing the several bureaus under civil service, public expenditures were reduced appropriations were kept down and were still further reduced more than $600,000.00 by executive vetoes. At the beginning of my term the general tax situation was in a chaotic condition and circumstances rendered it imperative that assessments be made according to law on a full cash basis. Previously, property had been assessed on one-third of its value. To provide against undue increase in taxes the General Assembly provided by law for a decrease in levies proportionate to the increase in valuations, allowing, however, a small percentage of increase to meet the demands of growth and emergencies. Under the constitutional provision and its interpretation by the courts equalization of valuations was practically impossible. To correct this defect and perfect the present system a constitutional amendment was submitted, and voted by the people, requiring values to be equalized on a full cash basis, and to secure that end to increase or lower any county assessment or to change any items to their just figure without affecting other property or counties. For the first time in the history of the state we are upon a practical, sensible basis of property taxation with a centralized body of state officials fully empowered to correct errors wherever found and enforce equality of state taxes. The credit of the state is excellent; a levy of less than three mills on the present valuation would pay off every dollar of bonded indebtedness. Even at a time of great financial stringency the state was able, until interfered with by some of its own officials, to place $4%$ certificates at par for the purpose of suppressing insurrection. The nation-wide depression in business and the discouraging effects of the industrial conflict just closed make it necessary to keep public expenditures at the lowest point consistent with efficient service, and appropriations should be kept down accordingly. The report of the bank commissioner lends much encouragement to the hope of better business conditions in the future. Notwithstanding the general adverse financial conditions over the country, the resources of Colorado banks have practically held their own during the past year while the state banks have actually made an increase. With no intention of re-stirring the bitterness of the past but with a most sincere desire to prevent the recurrence of trouble in the future the imperative necessity of legislation to control industrial disputes is urgently suggested. Through the establishment or an industrial commission, minor difficulties may be adjusted and serious situations avoided by proper handling at their incipiency. The constant watchfulness of such a commission, its investigation of working conditions, its fairness in the disposition of complaints and its anticipation of threatened discord will very generally enable it to settle satisfactorily ordinary difficulties. Disputes of interstate magnitude, or whose control is beyond the boundaries of the state in which they occur should be regulated by congressional action. Our state is entirely capable of handling local disturbances but it is just as much the function and duty of the federal government to regulate and control interstate industrial disputes as it is to regulate and control interstate commerce. I have been unable to find any law now in force which could successfully cope with a situation such as the recent Colorado strike. Arbitration was impracticable. The strike was called to unionize the mines, and neither side to the controversy would submit that matter to arbitration and agree to abide by the result. Compulsory arbitration was impossible because no law has been devised by which awards can be enforced. The strikers were clamoring for a conference which could not be secured because the operators asserted the demand was a mere subterfuge to secure that much recognition for the organization of the United Mine Workers. Had any practical plan been discovered or suggested it would have promptly been submitted to the General Assembly. A strike or lock-out unaccompanied by violence is easily controlled and needs no discussion. It is the violence, therefore, that must be guarded against. Surely no one will contend that an industrial dispute more than any other controversy should be determined by threats, intimidation, arson and bloodshed. If so, those capable of the greater violence are certain to win, and whatever is won by force must be maintained in the same manner. The trouble in Colorado grew out of the demand for the right of collective bargaining, the strike leaders and many of the miners insisting that the individual miner was not upon an equal footing in bargaining with the employing company and should be permitted to deal through the medium of the union. The operators insisted that such contracts were binding only on the operator who was responsible and not on the workman who might break the contract at will without penalty. Capitalists have a right to act individually or to combine. When capital is combined to do business it must place itself in the attitude of an artificial person under regulations which can enforce contracts for and against it. With the expenditure of much less money than that used in supporting strikes, labor might combine in a similar manner and give ample bond for the performance of its contracts. Under such a plan the membership could be chosen with more discrimination and the organization place itself in a most favorable position to do business. No matter then what the dispute, it could be determined in courts of justice in the same manner as other controversies. This question overshadows all others in importance; it vitally affects the stability of our very government. Widows, orphans, cripples, bankrupt owners, deserted mines and destruction of property will never accomplish that good feeling between employer and employe necessary for the success of both and the maintenance of good government. If our country is to thrive or even exist as a nation all classes of people must be made to yield obedience to law. Our legislative halls are wide open to all. If they fail the people themselves are free to legislate. We choose our own courts of justice. These together with the fair-mindedness of the American people furnish the best avenues through which to secure justice. To bring about development of our vast mineral resources we must have both capital and labor. Capital will not come to us unless we shall protect it and labor cannot keep what it gains except through the enforcement of law. The authorities must protect the persons and property of all alike and so far as their duty is concerned life is just as precious whether it be that of the capitalist, the union or the non-union man or the members of any of their families. The violent disorders which have occurred in various portions of the state within the past eighteen months call attention to certain defects in our criminal statutes which should be remedied without delay. The penalties now prescribed for the offenses of rout and riot are in my judgment wholly inadequate in cases where mobs of armed men resist or intimidate public officers, or, by their tumultuous and violent demeanor, terrorize law abiding citizens. I recommend the enactment of laws defining and providing sufficient penalties for treason, sedition and armed resistance of the militia or civil officers of the state and of the several counties. The governor tells of the comprehensive highway system established during the past two years, and under different headings tells of the irrigation suits, drainage, initiative and referendum petitions, the short ballot, the "blue sky" law, fixing date for adjournment, urges repeal of the law classifying appropriations, recommends investment of trust funds, urges support of the National Guard, recommends state police force, reviews conditions at state institutions, declares royalties from the production of coal or other minerals on state lands should go to the permanent funds, tells of opportunities for new settlers, the betterment of schools, asks vigorous opposition to measures placing water power sites and coal and oil lands upon a royalty basis, pays tribute to the late Senator H. M. Teller, states that Colorado would honor itself and the nation by making him its first representative in Statuary Hall at the national capital, and closes as follows: "To the citizens of the state I make a most earnest appeal. The best evidence of a splendid civilization is just, efficient government. Without it there can be no lasting progress. With it we are secure in every forward step. Under our system we may readily change our laws to suit every condition. Guided by experience we should be able to choose the wisest course. Acting unitedly we can make our government as good as we like. Let us, therefore, appreciating the advantage to be gained, realizing the necessity for active work, inspired by high, patriotic motives, forgetting our petty differences, striving with a common purpose, establish and maintain government of which we shall be worthily proud, insure superior social and educational conditions, promote the prosperity and happiness of our people at home and enhance the welfare of the country at large. Waking from the distressing dream of industrial disturbance, with increasing production from ranch, farm, mine and factory, with opportunities in all lines of industry never equaled before, let us go forth into the coming sunlight of hope, with clear brain, true hearts and willing hands. Let us all, labor, capital, the press, citizens, out of the spirit of true American hearts, extend to the new administration an earnest God speed. Leaving behind us the rancors of the past, forgetting the wrangles of the campaign, let the good people of Colorado give to the new governor and his associate officials and to the members of the General Assembly the word of encouragement, the helping hand so necessary to the highest accomplishment. Whomsoever the voters choose for the work of state building is entitled to our allegiance. Let us be loyal, generously loyal, in its bestowal." ERNEST HOWARD, Carpenter, Job and Repair Work.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. BRIGHT HOPES FOR TWENTIETH GENERAL ASSEMBLY. With the convening of the Twentieth General Assembly of Colorado on Wednesday the 6th inst. at 12 o'clock, all minds are turned with eagerness and earnestness to our senators anr legislators, in whose hands are the destinies of our state for the next two years. r Governor George A. Carlson, Lieutenant Governor Moses E. Lewis, Secretary of State John E. Ramer, Auditor Harry E. Mulnix, and Treasurer Allison Stocker, ably supported by a body of senators and legislators as Colorado is fortunate to have in the present selection must surely bring about prosperity and success in their promise to work for the good of the people, the state and the nation at large. We are going to follow their deliberations as closely as possible, and anything done for the betterment of the community will be given much space in our journal. Already the era of pessimism is beginning to wane and that of optimism is taking its place among the people; therefore the duty is set before our representatives to serve faithfully and fearlessly every cause that tends to progress and the welfare of the state. The Colorado Statesman having engaged in many sacrifices to help to bring about the present composition of the government, hopes it will not be disappointed in the actions of the present assembly, and is entertaining the best feeling for a good beginning and a glorious ending of our present government. THE POWER OF MONEY. If the greatest single occupation of all classes were to be determined by a popular vote, it would undoubtedly prove to be the pursuit of wealth—the accumulation of money. All things seem to center about it, great and small, good and evil. No successful enterprise can be conducted without it, for money is the recognized medium for exchanging things of value. It is at once the largest and the smallest factor of human existence: We all must have it and yet it is to be despised for its mercenary character. It is the goal of greed and the price of honest effect. It is the root of all evil and the flower of true purpose. One's attitude toward people is swayed, whether one will or no, by their financial circumstances. Men hate the rich who hoard their wealth, and perforce like the well-to-do individual who spends it. People in moderate circumstances usually desire to make as good a showing as possible, and those who go further than right living permits, usually earn well merited contempt from friends who understand the situation. It is unfortunate but true that money will buy position in life where good works frequently fall, but it will not buy self-respect. The Biblical saying about the rich man entering the Kingdom of Heaven has lost none of its savor, and in these years the camel hasn't been getting any smaller or the eye of the needle any larger. Yet there is no man more to be admired than the man who possesses money honestly acquired. As an average the man who has lived a considerable number of years without acquiring some degree of wealth may be found to have his faults, which he will readily acknowledge. The Right Kind of Reading Matter The home news; the doings of the people in this town; the gossip of our own community, that's the first kind of reading matter you want. It is more important, more interesting to you than that given by the paper or magazine from the outside world. It is the first reading matter you should buy. Each issue of this paper gives to you just what you will consider The Right Kind of Reading Matter Educating the Boys in Feminine Pursuits By C. G. ENTZMINGER, Baltimore, Md. To educate schoolboys in the feminine pursuits is nothing short of ridiculous, unless his ambition in life is to become a seamstress, or, more correctly speaking, a "seamster," or perhaps to pursue the vocation of "professor" of "mendology" in a "first aid to bachelors" home. No one will deny that the accomplishment of properly plying needle and thread is to be desired by both sexes, but the necessary instruction could be just as well taught at home. Possibly there may be some connection between the woman suffrage movement and this "industrial art" innovation. It would be unjust to accuse the suffragists of any selfish motive in educating our boys in feminine pursuits, yet anyone possessed of ordinary foresight can readily understand that with husbands trained in domestic pursuits the wife would have more time to devote to the duties which would be developed in the event of universal suffrage. Allowing our "industrial arts" defenders the benefit of the doubt, we will add that possibly they are prompted by some philanthropic motive in teaching our boys to construct the many feminine accessories and adornments of which we have seen samples. When Johnny has become sufficiently proficient in the manipulation of the crochet needle it will no longer become necessary for him to betake himself to the fancy goods department for a Christmas gift for his lady fair. All that he need do is to purchase the necessary material and ply his trade, and, lo! on Christmas morning my lady beholds a man-made sweater coat prudring from her suspended hose! Wonderful foresight on the part of our twentieth-century educators, indeed! Despite the publicity given the "industrial arts" plan and the rapidity with which the scheme is progressing, we have failed to notice any concern on the part of the manufacturers of bachelor buttons, shingle nails and safety pins, upon which men have always relied in emergencies during the absence of feminine assistance. Chicago Has Disease Called "Rubberneckitis" By WILLIAM E. MOONEY, Chicago Curiosity seems to be an important characteristic of Chicagoans. It is peculiar that the people of the city that is noted for its hustle should be noted for their inquisitiveness. A person cannot very well travel a block in the busy section of Chicago without seeing a crowd of typical natives. What wonderful things are they looking at? Some one is selling perfumed toothpicks, a driver may be having trouble with a horse, or a policeman may be giving some information to a visitor. In most cases there is no good reason for the crowd. Chicago develops the biggest crowd of "rubbernecks" in the world. Stand on any corner and take your watch out and gaze up abstractedly at some indefinite point. In about three minutes there will be about a hundred gaping sightseers grouped neatly about, and if you don't move on about that time you will either be arrested for blocking traffic or the crowd will mob you. It is said the farmer is a rubberneck, but the true Chicagoan has the farmer beaten in endurance contests at low and lofty gaping and in ability to lose his thoughts and gaze nonsensically at nothing. The farmer will gaze to learn, not because there is a crowd; but the average Chicagoan will stand before a window with a mechanical toy in it and actually push the small boy from a place of vantage. This curiosity is not a desire for information. It is but a disease called "rubberneckitis," and it may or may not be caused by the hookworm. Can the Chicagoan laugh at the interested farmer without having his laugh become a boomerang? It does not seem so. Character Building Is of Importance By ALLEN STEVENS, St. Louis, Mo. Is there not a reflection cast upon an educational institution when one of its graduates goes wrong or becomes identified with fraudulent schemes of different kinds? From the college from which I graduated not one who has obtained a degree has turned out to be a criminal. I can truthfully say that young men who were given up as hopeless cases even by their parents were sent, as a last resort, to this small college, where they were given good moral characters as well as degrees. Should not character building be as important a part of the curriculum as the degree itself? Educated rascals are the greatest menace to society, therefore why don't our good institutions of learning revoke diplomas and degrees when graduates, later in life, prove their unworthiness. How are we to expect children to look up to our educational institutions when college heads set a poor example for them by refusing to revoke diplomas of criminals? Must the stamp of approval remain with rascals by the silence of college faculties when churches have their trials and throw out their undesirables, when lodges and societies expel members who are guilty of crimes? It seems to me that college faculties or trustees owe something more to them than merely granting diplomas. Telephone Nuisance Should be Abated By N. McGOORTY, St. Louis, Mo. There is one nuisance in this and other large cities which has become well-night intolerable, and something should be done to end it. I am referring to the "telephone hog," the person who will hold long-extended conversations on a party line, thus preventing others who really have occasion to use the line from doing so. I had an experience of this sort a day or so ago. I desired to communicate with my wife on a matter of considerable moment. I tried to get my home phone for over twenty-five minutes. I appealed to the "central manager" of the telephone exchange. I kept ringing my number at intervals of a minute or two, all without avail. I do not know the people who are on our line—it is a "two-story line—but I do know that they are addicted to long conversations which, judging from such scraps as I hear when I pick up our receiver at home in an attempt to get the line, are of such absorbing moment as the discussion of a new waist, the latest scandal in their set, the charms of their male friends and matters of similar import. I believe there is some rule of the company to prevent this hogging of party lines, but this rule appears more honored in the breach than in the observance. It is high time that something was done to abate the nuisance. Educating the Boys in Feminine Pursuits By C. G. ENTZMINGER, Baltimore, Md. Chicago Has Disease Called "Rubberneckitis" By WILLIAM E.

During Stock Show week last January, the Denver Press Club put on a new stunt known as the "Brand Iron Club" Dinner. It was along the lines of the celebrated Grid Iron Club of Washington and made such a hit that it is to be repeated during show week this year, on a more elaborate plan. Last year it was limited to state newspaper men, but this time it will take in public men and members of the Legislature and some rich fun is promised. The press club will also pull off a big ball on Saturday night of Show week at the Auditorium. SHOW WEEK IN DENVER. Week of January 18-23 Will Be Hot Time in the Old Town. The National Horse Show and Midwinter Fair will be held at the Denver Union Stockyards January 18 to 25 inclusive under the auspices of the Gentlemen's Driving and Riding Club, backed by the commercial organizations of Denver. In addition to the horse show, which promises to be the most extensive and interesting in the history of the event, there will be held a poultry show, of national magnitude, a Baby Health Contest, a most extensive agricultural exhibit, a dog show, a sportsmen's exhibition, a display of Colorado made goods by the Manufacturers' Association and all the novelties incident to the idea and plan of a midwinter fair. Special efforts are being made toward making Monday and Saturday nights especially attractive. The railroads are making the usual low rates for this week and Denver is preparing to entertain a record breaking crowd. During horse show week the Denver Press Club will give its annual "Brand Iron" dinner and grand ball. The dinner is planned along the same lines as the famous Washington, D. C., "Gridiron" banquet. There will be held in Denver during horse show week, about twenty conventions, delegates to which are assured of a right royal time during every moment of their stay. The national character of the horse show is evidenced by the character and number of the stables coming from various parts of the United States. Miss Loula Long of Kansas City, who has not exhibited in Colorado for two years, is coming again with a new stable of ten harness and four saddle horses. One of the latter she has just purchased for $12,000. The John R. Thompson stable of Chicago, winner of many blue ribbons in Denver, is coming again as is the string of O. J. Mooers of Columbia, Mo. That the visitors, however, will have to look to their laurels is shown by the fact that A. T. Lewis has purchased what he calls a "mystery" horse. Although he declines to disclose the identity of this new acquisition he is confident that it will make visitors go their best to win in this particular class. Dr. Sherman Williams, whose Denver stable is always a feature of the entertainment, has also just purchased a new horse which recently arrived and is now in training. The stadium has already been put into commission and is properly heated and arranged for the convenience of the horses which have already started their preparation. A unique feature will be a "Milk" show, although it will not be possible to have on exhibition the prize winning milch cows, the modern hygienic processes of handling milk and manufacturing products and by-products will be exhibited. There will be demonstrations of the proper methods of sterilization, pasteurization, separating, measuring butter content, butter making and the like. The idea of the sportsmen's show is most practical. It aims to have on display the articles which will indicate to the motorist, the hunter, the fisherman, the prospector and all others loving the out of door life just what kind of an outfit will fit his needs. The general outline is the same as that of the Sportsmen's shown Madison Square Garden, New York. So great is the number of entries expected in the baby health contest that it is being arranged to score the entries first down town. Then the ten best babies in each of the ten classes will be taken to the stockyards for the final scoring for the prizes which this year will be in the form of newly opened bank accounts for the winners. As an adjunct to the poultry exhibition there will be held the annual Colorado competition between pet animals, Ribbons, caps and merchandise prizes will be awarded. While the educational features will be unusually strong, the purely entertainment features are also going to be especially emphasized and a special committee is working to secure every possible midway attraction. Because the Stockmen and Farmers Must Have an Opportunity to Talk Things Over. The great success of the annual "Stock Show Week" in Denver has been largely due to the fact that it is the only opportunity western stockmen and farmers have to get together and compare notes and make plans for their year's work. Many people have asked, "why do you hold the show in midwinter?" The answer is that it is the only time of the year that western stockmen and farmers can leave their farms and ranches for a week or more without inconvenience. In the fall of the year, when these events are usually held, the western farmer and ranchman is too busy to leave his business for any extended stay, and it takes some of them a week to go and come. After the middle of December and up to the first of February, however, the ranchman has his work in shape so that he can easily get away and he always wants to go somewhere at that time and take Mother, Daughter and Son along. "Show Week" in Denver provides just the right kind of an excuse and comes at just the right time. That is the reason the whole West turns out. It is a combination of business, pleasure and education that entertainment features without number. In short, it is to be a real fair, with something doing all the time, day and night. This is an occasion when Denver is absolutely united and enthusiastic. The newspapers there are pulling together for the success of the big event and there will be things doing. Deports reaching Denver are to the effect that everyone is coming as usual, and for a week Denver will be overflowing with visitors. There will be some twenty or more conventions and annual meetings of various livestock and commercial organizations going on and the railroad rates are made good returning for the week following the show, so that many will visit the metropolis to attend such business as they have there and spend a week enjoying themselves. THE MIDWINTER FAIR Denver Making Big Preparations for the Annual Show Week. When the Western Stock Show Association called off the annual show because of fear of infection from the foot and mouth contagion, the citizens of Denver suddenly decided that "Show Week," as it has become known, must be continued. There was a hurried call to conference and as a result every commercial and business organization in Denver united in a plan to pull off the annual Horse Show and such other features of the Midwinter Fair as would not endanger the live stock. Horses are not subject to the disease and cannot carry the germ. But while horses are made the basis of the exposition this year, they are only one part of it. It is to be a Midwinter Fair in dead earnest. There will be the great National Western Poultry Show, larger and better than ever. The Agricultural Exhibition will be the largest ever gathered in the West and will go from Denver direct to the Panama Pacific Fair at San Francisco. There will be a Kennel Show, a new feature but an interesting one. There will be a Milk Show, another new feature but interesting to everyone who uses milk or produces milk. Then there will be industrial exhibits galore, making the whole trip worth while. While the program at Denver this year will be some different, as the rule is "Safety First," the many new and novel features added to the Show will more than make up for the cattle competition, and the business end will be running just the same COLORADO STOCKMEN MEET. The annual convention of the Colorado Stock Growers' Association will be held in Denver during Show week. The date is set for Friday, January 22, in the convention hall at the Albany hotel. The principal business will be the consideration of important legislation that will come before the Legislature. Colorado has the best stock laws in the country and the largest part of the organized stockmen's job now is to keep the laws as they are, as every legislator brings up many bills which are not needed. It is expected that the attendance at this convention will be large, as all want to come down to the Show anyhow. ATHLETIC EVENTS. Those who are interested in the noble art of self-defense will find some rare entertainment in Denver during Show Week, January 18-23. The Denver Athletic Club is arranging for its annual amateur contests and plans are being made for some big events that will attract national attention. There will sure be things doing in Denver Show Week. » Se gig ” THE COLORADO\ 274 STATESMA AA VE x PCP STE te IE ra OE a eee eee a] sel, y= Ve i= eA De Ns eg 1 gS OE ARS SN fC os Neo ere Bet La RGN peed a 1 Pitas Mrs.,S.

I hope to have much to say for you and your other Chris- tian pastors from this time on. Yours truly, ROBERT OLIVER. VANCOUVER NOTES. (To The Colorado Statesman.)

A NEW YEAR GREETING Governor E. M. Ammons Tells of Conditions and Predicts That 1915 Will Be Most Productive and Prosperous in State's History. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The year 1914 was one of the most prosperous in Colorado's history as the figures given herewith amply attest, and the prospects for 1915 are much brighter and better at the opening than they were at the beginning of the year just closed. In a "New Year Greeting" to the people of Colorado, Governor Ammons says: "With the strike called off, with national policies seemingly settled, with wider and better opportunities for new settlers and investors than we have had in the state before, with a desire on the part of a great many eastern people to move to western lands and avail themselves of attractive offerings here, the year 1915 is full of promise. "Our agricultural and livestock output for the past year was the greatest in our history, with better average prices for crops than for several years past. The outlook for the new year in all lines of agriculture is very bright with a good prospect of continued high prices for years to come. "The year closes with valuable and important mineral discoveries among the older mines of the state and the mining industry, being firmly established upon a businesslike basis, seems certain of great revival. "The general situation promises during the coming season employment for our people and good returns for the employer. In this favorable condition our citizens should unite in a strong effort to make the coming year the most productive and prosperous in our history." General Colorado Statistics for 1914.

Colorado's oil and natural gas resources are practically unknown, although oil has been produced since 1890 and gas since 1894. The total production of oil is about 200,000 barrels annually. This figure, compared to California's 86,450,767 barrels per year, and even Wyoming's 1,572,306 barrels per year, shows that the industry in the state has never passed its infancy.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS LIST OF EMPLOYES GET APPOINTMENTS BY RESOLUTION. Denver.—Jan. 7.—New members of the Twentieth General Assembly of Colorado were sworn in on Wednesday by Justice Garrison of the Supreme Court. The House met and elected Philip D. Stewart speaker, and the Senate named Leroy J. Williams president pro tem after being called to order by Lleutenant Governor Fitzgarrald. Committees were appointed, and it was arranged that Governor Ammons should deliver his message at 2 o'clock on Friday. A joint committee was appointed to arrange for the inauguration of Governor Carlson and other state officers on the 12th. The following were the House employees whose appointments were confirmed by resolution: Boston.—The legislatures of five New England states — all except Rhode Island—convened for their annual or biennial sessions. "ALLIES CRUSHING GERMANY." Victory of British Assured, Declares Chieftain to Lords. London.—The House of Lords met Wednesday, a month earlier than the House of Commons, chiefly to hear from Lord Kitchener a review of the military operations for the six weeks since Parliament was prorogued. Lord Kitchener said that despite their magnificent army organization, the Germans were being pushed back slowly and surely and that final victory for the British arms could not be questioned. Lord Kitchener read his speech from a typewritten document and referred briefly to the operations in every sphere, laying particular emphasis on the Turkish defeat in the Caucasus; the Austrian defeat in Galicia, and, what he considered even more important, "the severe check to German aspirations in Poland." Woman Killed in Subway Fire. New York.—The worst accident in the ten years' history of New York's subway occurred when 700 passengers in two stalled trains were stricken with panic in the darkened tubes by the dense smoke and acrid fumes from a short-circuited cable. In the struggle to escape, 200 persons were injured, one—a woman—dying. Others were overcome and were rescued, unconscious, by police and firemen, while scores of others struggled to the street, their clothing torn and faces blackened by smoke.

NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Festooning Pennsylvania Avenue With Ivy Vines WASHINGTON.—Something entirely new in this country in the way of street decoration is being introduced in the national capital by Colonel Harts, in charge of public buildings and grounds, with the co-operation of parking. Three methods of treatment are to be tried with a view to the ultimate adoption of the one shown to be best adapted for the entire scheme. One involves the use of a double line of festoons of vines and the two others the use of different kinds of hedges. The vine treatment will be tried in the section of the avenue between Fourth and Sixth streets east, where there is a rectangular public reservation. English ivy and ampelopsis will be used for the decoration of that section, the former between Fifth and Sixth streets and the latter between Fourth and Fifth streets. Plants of each of these species will be planted between the oak trees now lining the parking and will be trained on chains suspended from the trees to an iron post about seven feet high midway between them, making two loops between the trees. Each loop is fastened at its lowest drop to an iron anchor post about a foot from the ground. The vines are planted on each side of the anchor posts and trained both ways, up the chain and then around the tree trunks, as well as around the high supporting post between the trees. These hanging vines will be placed midway of the park spaces on both sides of the car tracks and will not be dense enough to obstruct the view. New Shirt for Army Found That Does Not Shrink New Shirt for Army Found That Does Not Shrink COMPLAINTS have been received that the flannel shirts issued to enlisted men of the army shrunk during the process of laundering to such an extent as to change the fit of the collar. Experiments, therefore, were con- purchases will be made in conformity therewith. The cost of the shirts made from the new material will be somewhat less than the former price. In view of similar complaints of shrinking of all-wool sweaters issued to enlisted men, sweaters made of 80 per cent wool and 20 per cent cotton are being tried, and it is expected that the results will be as satisfactory as with the wool-cotton shirts. In fact, reports already received are to the effect that the experimental sweaters are a trifle warmer than the old sweater, hold their color well, and have no noticeable shrinkage. In view of these favorable reports, the specifications have been revised to admit of 80 per cent wool and 20 per cent cotton in the manufacture of sweaters, and 50,000 of them have been ordered at $2.0775 each, which, as compared with the former price of $2.20 represents a saving of $6.125 on the order. Two Cabinet Members Subjected to Rude Shocks Two Cabinet Members Subjected to Rude Shocks SECRETARY BRYAN disapproves of the popularity of dancing. This came to light the other night at a reception given in the Pan-American Union building, with the secretary and Mrs. Bryan and the Southern Commercial to one side and listened. Then he turned to one of the leading members of the commercial congress and said: "I was not apprised of the fact that there was to be dancing here this evening. I do not think it was understood that such was to be the case." As soon as the greater portion of the guests had passed the handshaking line Mr. and Mrs. Bryan withdrew. The secretary of the navy and Mrs. Daniels remained. In the ballroom the Marine band was playing the dance music. Suddenly it began "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary." Mrs. Daniels was convulsed. The secretary of the navy remembered that the navy department had issued no general order placing an embargo on the popular tune, although its secretary had announced that the playing of "Tipperary" would be likely to be considered an unneutral act by Germans and Austrians. National Museum Shows History of Photography THE history of photography is well illustrated by a series of cameras, plates and prints exhibited in the National museum. This collection of photographic paraphernalia and photographs, the most complete in the world, has been collected and classified by T. W. The first successful inquirer to secure permanent pictures through the influence of the sun's rays was Nicephore Niepce. The museum collection includes one of the first permanent photographs printed from a light etched plate by the heliographic process. This print is from Niepce's plate made in 1824. There are also several examples of Daguerre's work made in 1839 and later. The museum collection, besides including many fine and unique examples of these first photographic processes, has much material on modern practical photography, including examples of different printing papers and plates, astroscopic pictures, flasklight paraphernalia, X-ray and colored photographs, astrophysical photographs and some early examples of moving picture making.

Shirts manufactured out of this material were tried by officers and enlisted men. Very satisfactory reports received from Texas and Porto Rico show that these shirts are equally serviceable and warm and that they do not shrink.

A DOMESTIC TREASURE By ISABELLA D. DAILEY. Mrs. Lyman sat at the breakfast table in her 99-cent calico wrapper, which was clean but unattractive, and listened rather wearily to her adored husband's conversation. In her youth she had been called a beauty, but 12 years of unselfish pampering of her family, together with a constant struggle to "get ahead" upon a limited allowance, had merged her charms into workaday obscurity. She had become nothing more than a housekeeper who was "careful and troubled about many things." Mr. Lyman did not suspect that he was not a model family man. He had grown accustomed to seeing his wife work from morning until night, keeping their home in immaculate order, making dainty clothing for the children, and cooking meals to please his fastidious taste. On this particular morning, he was discussing pretty Mrs. Hickson, the wife of his new partner. "She is really the most delightful woman I have met in many a day," he said, with candid enthusiasm. "She so bright and up to date and young-looking; I was surprised to learn that she is the own mother of Hickson's fifteen-year-old daughter. I supposed she was a second wife." "I heard Mrs. Hickson say she had always boarded since her marriage," quietly remarked Mrs. Lyman. "Of course she has lots of time to take pains with herself. I guess she doesn't do much but play bridge and flirt." "That is very ungenerous, Bess," said Lyman reprovingly. "Mrs. Hickson is a lady of exquisite taste, and you should not be scandalized because she is not inclined to be a back number. I don't wonder that Hickson is proud of her." "I don't think she is as pretty as mamma," loyally declared little Bert Lyman, whose youthful mind grasped the inference that his idolized mother was suffering from indirect criticism. Mr.·Lyman laughed. "There was a time, son, when your mamma was a daisy in looks, but that was before she settled down and had two expensive youngsters to take care of." "And a popular society man," added Mrs. Lyman, with a shadowy smile. Lyman did not appear- to catch any sarcastic intonation in his wife's mild observation. "Well, I must go downtown," he said, glancing at his watch. "A man can't linger forever in the bosom of his family. By the way, Bess, I wish you would see that my evening clothes are all right. I'm going to an Elks' reception tonight. There will be a dance afterward, and that calls for stiff togs." "Are you going, mamma?" asked Vera, the small daughter of the house of Lyman. "No, dear, I hadn't thought of going anywhere." Lyman looked up in careless wonder. "Go, of course, if you wish, Bess. I didn't think to ask you, because you never care for such affairs." Mrs. Lyman gave her customary answer to her husband's indifferent invitation. "I think I should prefer to stay with the children." She did not mention the fact that all her party gowns were several years behind the fashion. "I thought so," said Lyman, accompanying the remark with a light conjugal kiss. "Those muffins were tiptop, and the beefsteak broiled to the queen's taste. Nobody can beat you, Bess, in the culinary department, even if you don't shine in social functions." After the children had departed for school, and the morning's work had been done, with the inefficient aid of the diminutive colored maid-of-allwork, Mrs. Lyman went to her room. Seating herself before her dressing-table, she gazed critically at her reflection in the mirror. "I am altogether too domestic," she commented audibly. "I think I'll furnish up a little, even if we go without a new parlor carpet and lace curtains in the sitting room." During the following week, Mrs. Lyman went on several secret pilgrimages downtown, and heroically practiced mysterious exercises in the seclusion of her room. When Mr. Lyman announced his intention of taking a trip to Chicago on business which might detain him a few days, he did not notice that his wife packed his suitcase with unusual cheerfulness nor did he think it strange that she made him promise to wire her when to expect him back. Chance sometimes assists plotters, and Mrs. Lyman's plans to amaze her liege lord were aided, beyond her expectations, by his accidentally meeting, on his way home, a traveling man who was an old acquaintance. They crowded as many reminiscences and jokes as possible into the two hours they spent together on the train, but still their fund of anecdotes was not exhausted. "As you are going to make my town," said Lyman, "why can't you put up at my house? I can promise you a good dinner, and tonight I'll take you to the club, and show you a jolly bunch of boys." "I wouldn't like to drop into your family circle inopportunity," objected the friend politely, really yearning for a home meal. "Oh, that's all right," said Lyman reassuringly. "My wife is the good sort, and makes everybody welcome. She will treat you to cooking that will melt in your mouth, though she may receive you in a calico dress, just as she comes from a kitchen. Sometimes I wish she had a little more style, but she is a domestic treasure. I'll bet she can make a dollar go farther than any other woman of the present generation." Do You Know That- When the train pulled into the station, the two gentlemen hurried out upon the long platform, chatting jovially. Suddenly Lyman caught a glimps of a trim, graceful woman, in a modish tailor-made black suit, with her blonde hair fetchingly marcelled beneath a heavily plumed hat. The COLORADO STATESMAN "There is a swell woman," exclaimed Lyman. "I can't fancy her in a callico wrapper." The lady under inspection turned her head in a way that gave Lyman a full view of her face. Instantly his eyes bulged with astonishment. "She looks as Bess used to," he muttered faintly. "It can't be possible. It is, by Jove." Mrs. Lyman's perfect costume inspired her with self-confidence, and nothing could have been prettier than her manner of greeting her puzzled spouse. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF "Why, Bess, I—I'm surprised," he stammered, fairly limp from bewilderment. JOB PRINTING "You act as though you had encountered a ghost," was the laughing retort. Lyman collected his wits sufficiently to introduce his friend, who pinched him on the sly and whispered: "You're a rare humbug. Home body! Calico wrappers! Good Lord! Tell that to some other scout." Lyman had hardy recovered his composure when they reached home. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Mrs. Lyman led the trio, and was cordial in seconding her husband's hospitality, remarking ingeniously: "I am afraid you will find things rather muddled. I have been out all the afternoon, and left the children playing circus." Lyman scarcely recognized his home, in which disorder reigned for the first time, and he was almost speechless with mortification and disappointment when they sat down to a dinner of tough fried steak, lumpy mashed potatoes and soggy bread, supplemented by a thin lemon pie from a bakeshop. The mystified husband felt that he must be dreaming. Mrs. Lyman seemed sweetly unconcerned, and in no way disturbed by the unappetizing repast, or by the blundering service of her awkward maid.

Never had her conversation been so engaging. The visitor thought his host had developed into a bad practical joker, and wondered if he would be able to get a satisfactory lunch at the club. Lyman finally began to get angry. After the wretched meal was finished, but not eaten, he contrived to draw his wife aside, and whispered: "What under heaven do you mean, Bess, in getting up such a dinner—for company, too!" "I didn't get the dinner," said Bess innocently. 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. "I should say not," grumbled Lyman; "but why didn't you?" "For two reasons," replied Mrs. Lyman, not a whit abashed. "I am tired of being merely a queen of the culinary art, and I am going to try to be as young and agreeable as Mrs. Hickson. It would be great fun to be taken for your second wife. "I have decided that it doesn't pay to spend so much of my allowance upon the table. It shows more in up-to-date clothes. "Hereafter I shall be ready to attend parties with you. Of course, you will not mind a few extra bills. I know you must have often been ashamed of me—I have been such a frump—but it is never too late to mend." Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction "Do you know," said the dry goods drummer, "I don't blame the doctors a bit? I have my way of earning a living and they have theirs." "But what about doctors?" was asked. "Oh, I was in a town in Indiana last week and one day I felt shivers go up my back. I went to a doctor and he said I was in for the grip. Then hot flashes came and I went to another M. D. He said it was a case of typhoid and wanted me to go to the hospital at once. Felt a bit better, but went to a third, and he said it might be a case of bubonic plague or spinal meningitis. He was way off, however."

Yes, something allied me. I was in love with a mighty good-looking girl and I found out that she was a grass widow and had no chance to get a divorce under five years!" The Colorado Statesman Fleet street was formerly the wonder place of London, where all that was novel, bizarre and marvelous was exhibited by enterprising showmen. Ben Jonson alludes to "a new notion of the city of Nineveh, with Jonah and the whale, at Fleet bridge," and at the Eagle and Child was exhibited a collection of freaks and monstrosities that set the whole town agape. In 1710, too, was advertised as on exhibition at Fleet bridge, "two strange, wonderful and remarkable monstrous creatures, an old she dromedary, seven feet high and ten feet long, lately arrived from Tartary with her young one, being the greatest wonder, rarity and novelty ever seen in the three kingdoms."

Next to fur they are the warmest of garments. The new fur-cloth is not bulky but possesses the sort of weaving that makes for comfort. Lined with silk and snugly adjusted to the figure about the shoulders, neck and chest, the fur-cloth coat adapts itself to all degrees of winter weather. Not being heavy or bulky, coats of this fabric, unlike fur, are not too heavy for moderately cold weather. And when the thermometer plays hide and seek above or below the zero mark the pliable fur-cloth garment allows of re-enforcement against the extreme cold. Knitted vests and jackets, those cozy garments that hug the figure so closely, worn under the fur-cloth coat give wearer delightful comfort. Another point of advantage possessed by these coats lies in their very excellent wearing qualities. Rain, shine and constant wear seem to have small effect upon their surfaces of uneven pile. When coupled with this is the item of low cost (very low as compared to fur coats) the popularity of fur-cloth is easily understood. One of the newest models is pictured in the handsome garment shown here.

Equally well-liked fabric gloves, patterned after the kid ones in style, are made of double silk, chamoisette, and suede lisle. They are found most practical for those whose gloves must stand daily wear. To these may be added the always fashionable gloves of chamois skin that are, as washable as those made of fabrics. Preferred colors in kid are black stitched with white, white stitched with black, and tan gloves with self-color stitching. Stitchings in heavy lines are featured, and machine stitching which outlines the fingers along all seams, with thread contrasting in color with the kid, is an item not to be overlooked in selecting smart gloves. This decorative stitching is featured on silk and chamoisette gloves, as well as on those of kid. no fault can be found in qualities.

To the tourist or the business woman whose gloves see daily service and are often put on and off, fabric gloves give the greatest satisfaction. It is economy to buy several pairs, three at least, in well-made silk or chamoisette, and alternate in wearing them one alternates the wearing of street shoes. It is an easy matter to wash these gloves, and in the better grades design in the front row of novel ideas in coats. There are not two opinions as to the style and beauty of this striking wrap, which, by the way, is an American production. Occasionally one finds a sentiment at war with the use of skins. Moreover the supply of fur, unequal to the demand in normal times, must send prices upward. If they are out of reach, or the fur garment cannot be worn with an easy conscience, furcloth is the best of substitutes. When You Set the Table. The question is often asked about the placing of silver. At the right of the plate and next to it the knife for the game; next the soup spoon and the fork for oysters. At the left of the plate is the large fork, the second size and the salad fork, with the napkin beyond if there is room, or it may be folded on the plate, and the dinner roll is enclosed in it. Other knives, forks and spoons may be added as the meal progresses. Bread and butter plates are not used for dinner, but may be used for luncheon. In serving a meal a serving table is of great assistance to a maid, and is almost invaluable to the hostess, if she has no maid. If it is placed at her left within easy reach it may hold a large number of small dishes, plates, knives, forks, spoons and save the hostess from leaving her place at the table. When the dishes are passed by the maid a small silver tray covered with dainty dolly is used. ```markdown ``` no fault can be found with their wearing qualities. For warmth combined with good looks, the glove of double silk has everything to recommend it. A good quality costs a dollar and a half, fits the hand beautifully, and is much warmer than kid. It is a little more expensive than gloves of chamoisette. The latter range in price from fifty cents to a dollar. They are well made, with all the marks of the smart street glove, and have made an undisputed place for themselves as a practical solution of the glove question for the woman who is looking for good appearance and good service.
