Declaration Of Principles This organization with its "onward and upward movement", is intended to be state-wide, establishing branches in every city and county in Colorado. Having for its object the maintenance of a true and real democracy handed down to the American people of whom we are a part, the full realization of our duty towards ourselves and our government and the betterment of conditions morally, politically and financially in the state and nation constitute the fundamental or basic principles of the organization. Permanence is the watchword. Start Right One of the barriers engaging particular energy to overcome is HOW TO START, as many instances can be cited where through over anxiety or over zealousness in a cause, preliminaries that should have been carefully sifted and weighed were allowed to slip by resulting in almost unending trouble in the life of such organizations. In this case we are guided by the well-timed and appropriate expression START RIGHT, and having gone over the ground-work cautiously we are safe in saying that our beginning or initial effort is the result of interchange of ideas, mutuality, action in concert and a reci- ```markdown ``` --- ANTS WHO ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO S government. Political Shades Politics must be studied, as it can well be compared to an art or science, and this organization from time to time will individually and collectively instruct its members in the right exercise of the franchise to the best of its ability. It is useless to say that non partisan politics will ultimately prevail, as while there is a feeling among certain Americans that no power can eradicate the idea of their superiority to other Americans, there will always be a retaliation from the so called inferior side that will create division. Non-partisan Politics may work in part in small townships, in municipal elections, etc, but the larger element of state and nation will always be partisan, and we as of old will out of share gratitude as well as believers in the true Republican Principles adhere to that which has not only helped us to 'ford the stream' but opened the doors of opportunity for us and our posterity. Our part in elections will be to support candidates who are Americans of the Abraham Lincoln type—who will think first of equal human rights provided by law as an entity—as a practical and not a theoretical idea; candidates who believe in taxation and representation, eliminating from their minds everything subordinate or in opposition to the principles of this Republic which must terminate in conflict and disruption among a people whose every aim is to live in peace and harmony with all humanity. Candidates who stand for the foregoing principles will be indorsed by us, and the League in its instructions will order unanimous support in its action as in their belief the days when cunning and deceit reigned supreme are passed, giving way to healthier and better political intelligence and the demands of the community of a righteous account from their representatives. All persons are eligible for membership who are not afraid to fill the role of the WORKING BEE Everyone knows the special nature of the DRONE, and therefore in the invitation extended to the people of the city and county of Denver and the State of Colorado, we beg to impress you with the idea of the standard of the organization which is "the best to be gotten for the people by the people at all times and under all circumstances." With perseverance, determination, and oneness of interests, with charity for all and hate for none, we invite you to join us who are striving for a United States of America not in name only, but in every meaning of the term union of heart and action for a people, which perfection we trust to attain by the material help of The Colored Citizens League of Colorado --- procity culminating in a solidarity that will not be easily destroyed. With this starter the suggestion is given us to launch out in the acquisition of Commercial Influence This channel which affords so much latitude can be taken advantage of as it has proven itself under all circumstances to be the means of breaking down prejudicial walls, disseminating and inter-relationship which of necessity results in the acceptance of man and his fellow man. We must interest ourselves as the baseball player puts it, "at evero stage of the game," and when the rulers with might resolve to hurt, or the strong arm in its every motion try to crush us we are so interwoven with them commercially, that to do anything destructive to our progress as a people would compel their utter disregard and disobedience to the law of self preservation. This therefore is a phase that the organization encourages and will do all in its power to advance its cause and enhance a common interest among us, the same being beneficial to the least as well as the greatest. A Living Proof What greater asset to our financial status can there be in Colorado than FARMING? But yesterday and it appeared impossible with our feeble efforts to have developed or accomplished anything along this line. To-day we boast of portions of our state where our people in taking up claims from the government are unanimous in the opinion that the result of their experiment, toil and arduous labor will very soon be crowned with success and be told in poetry, prose and by the pen that FARMING is a boon and a blessing to men. Is there any reason to anticipate anything but a live-wire existence for the Colored Citizens' League, where every spark that escapes from its electric dynamo must alight on something that will readily ignite and keep a continuous blaze until all the people of Denver and the state of Colorado are so electrified with our cause and the principles it embodies that no longer will men forget their responsibility of uniting forces for the good of all but become so enthusiastic over improvement of conditions until they feel themselves important factors of this DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. MAY 8. 1915 State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House Political Shades General Elections Last But Not Least The public having expressed their confidence in us in the help we offer them in time of need, especially in their political wants, the Colorado Statesman is pleased to intimate that all candidates whose names and announcements appear in our columns in this and succeeding issues are deserving of your support. Read carefully their opinions on vital questions affecting our city and you cannot but be convinced that our city's affairs can be entrusted to them. SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS $14,000 DAMAGE VERDICT IN FAVOR OF RAIL- WAY PORTER. A verdict for $14,000, obtained by Arthur M. Murray, a former Pullman porter, against the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company for personal injuries was sustained by the Supreme Court recently with the ruling that an employee like Murray had to be safely carried to his destination the same as a regular passenger. Murray suffered injuries which resulted in paralysis by the sudden stopping of a train at Mahanoy Junction on November 4, 1911. The case was tried in Court No. 1, and the railroad maintained that Murray's Contract of employment contained a waiver of rights to recover damages in the event of accident. Justice Potter, in sustaining Judge Patterson's rulings, held that the waiver clause in the employment contract was not available as a defense in a suit for damages. Quoting a decision from a similar case he said: "The undertaking on the part of the railway company is as a common carrier, and the party, though he be not a passenger in the ordinary meaning of the word, is yet entitled to the rights of a passengers so far as his safe transportation is concerned.—Philadelphia Tribune.

Chicago, Ill., April 29.—Production of "The Clansman" in motion pictures may be barred in Chicago by Mayor Thompson. Speaking at the Institutional church at 3825 Dearborn street last week, Mr. Thompson informed his colored audience that if there is anything in the film objectionable to Chicago colored citizens he will forbid its proposed season at the Illinois theater. "I'm going to investigate the film," he said, "and if I find anything objectionable I don't see how it can be shown in Chicago. I have so informed agents of the film." The mayor-elect also announced he is going to give colored men the biggest representation they ever had in Chicago official life. "I promised you nothing before election," he said, "but now I'm going to treat you right." Medicine at the Mehariv Medical College. He was married August 28, 1907 to Miss Willa M.

The many friends of the deceased here join in sympathy with the bereaved ones. NO 38 Austin, Texas, April 27.—The humiliation in riding on "Jim Crow" street cars in the South may be avoided if the Colored people establish jitney bus like they have done in this and other Texas communities. A number of enterprising Colored men knowing that the race opposes separate cars and only uses them when the necessity arises, have started jitney lines for the race. These lines are said to be making more money than those operated for whites and not only have the great majority of colored people ceased to ride on street cars but the street railway companies are already feeling the loss by decreased receipts. When separate car laws were first passed several years ago the street railways were largely boycotted by the race, but they gradually resumed patronage. The introduction of the jitney buses came as a relief to those who objected to riding on rear seats and being ordered around by conductors. Columbus, O., April 19.—The colored men who waged the fight against the two bills introduced in the Ohio State Legislature regarded as discriminatory, have won their fight. The first bill, which would have put out of business every recognized colored chiropodist and massseer in the State, was amended in the Senate so as to exclude from taking the provided examination all who have been practicing for a period of five years. It was further amended so that the State Pedic Society, which had drawn the color line, shall not have an opportunity to name examiners. The other bill, which provided that in registering one must give his color, was amended by striking out the word "color." Governor Willis, speaking to some of the legislators, stated most emphatically that "the State of Ohio cannot afford to pass any discriminatory laws." The colored people of Ohio are indebted to the few colored men led the fight against these bills, and to Governor Willis who stood by them in their contentions. At last Ohio has a true blue governor, one who not only believes, but insists on a square deal for the race. Bent for Investigation.

The public is entitled to and shall have courteous treatment at the hands of all employés in all dealings pertaining to the activities of the Social Welfare Department. 2nd. PUBLIC HEALTH: The City of New York has established as its motto: "Public health is purchasable. Within natural limitations a community can determine its own death rate." The death rate of Denver is low, but with our natural conditions of climate and absence of congestion we should be able to save many lives. 3rd. FOOD AND DRUG INSPECI TION. That the high standard established under the authority of Commissioner Perkins to stop the illegal sale of narcotic drugs shall be pushed to the limit and that food inspection shall be developed in the manufacturing plants until MADE IN DENVER shall be a sign of PURITY. 4th.

Gold Production Increased Three Millions and Other Metals Show Up Well in Commissioner's Report. Western Newspaper Union News Service. The total mineral production of Colorado during 1914, exclusive of tungsten and vanadium, was $34,258,779.17, according to official statistics made public by Thomas R. Henahen, state commissioner of mines. Despite the greatly reduced prices in a number of the most important mineral products because of the European war, the state's total production was only $580,998.32 below the value of the total production in 1913, which was $34,839,577.49. The gold production increased $3,084,462.80, an increase which almost entirely made up for the lower values of the outputs of lead, zinc and other metals due to the war. With the rise of prices for mineral products which has already come as the second effect of the war and further rises which are anticipated, Colorado's mineral production this year should be worth between $40,000,000 and $45,000,000, Commissioner Henahen thinks. The values of the productions of the chief minerals for the years 1914 and 1913 were: The productions of tungsten and vanadium to ether amounted to approximately $1,000,000. In 1913 their productions amounted to $905,500. Teller, San Miguel and Summit counties were responsible for the increase in the gold production. Teller county's record in 1914 was $12,076.760.15, compared with $10,905,914.04 in 1913. That of San Miguel county was $3,211,905.82, compared with $2,120.266.90 in 1913. Summit county's gold production in 1914 was $1,008,060.76, compared with $462,657.40 in 1913. These statistics are all for the calendar years from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. In 1913 the average price for silver was 59.7 cents per ounce, while in 1914 it was 54.8 cents per ounce. The average price for lead in 1913 was $4.37 per 100 pounds, while in 1914 it was $3.86 per 100 pounds. The average price for copper in 1913 was 15 cents a pound, while in 1914 it was 13.1 cents per pound. The average price of zinc in 1913 was $5.50 per 100 pounds and in 1914 it was $5.06 per 100 pounds. Lake county's production of zinc in 1914 was worth $2,550,429.82 and in 1913 it was worth $4,869,872.60. Eagle county showed a similar loss because of the war. Its zinc in 1914 brought $429,111.87 and in 1913 it returned $545,911.76. Summit county's zinc was worth $343,687.15 in 1914 while its 1913 production returned $366,033.61. Following was the production of gold and silver by counties in 1914: Gold Silver Boulder $ 131,024.69 $ 122,933.23 Clear Creek $ 234,928.48 $ 218,923.24 Custer $ 70,926.89 $ 262,954.94 Custer $ 53,141.06 $ 85,229.56 Dolores $ 8,706.96 $ 56,388.01 Eagle $ 48,112.48 $ 72,370.45 Bountiful $ 10,926.96 $ 20,164.70 Garfield $ 2,403.05 $ 43.58 Gilpin $ 609,379.48 $ 78,929.60 Gunnison $ 470,000.50 $ 30,37.71 Hinsdale $ 110.81 $ 3,041.67 Lake $ 128,804.05 $ 338,166.74 Lake $ 151,416.27 $ 2,011,806.74 Mineral $ 193,029.84 $ 338,927.85 Montrose $ 2,377.09 $ 176.92 Ouray $ 1,723,538.50 $ 322,606.86 Ouin $ 151,416.27 $ 204,489.70 Park $ 43,644.85 $ 10,926.96 Routt $ 6,26 $ 65.23 Rio Grande $ 473.61 $ 8.54 San Juan $ 500,187.38 $ 482,831.32 Maugel $ 3,211,924.56 Saguache $ 16,512.46 $ 10,026.10 Summit $ 1,008,060.76 $ 325,020.14 Teller $ 12,076,760.15 $ 46,776.65 Convicts Hear Governor Talk. Denver.—Governor Carlson found both the State School for the Blind and the state penitentiary working at a high degree of efficiency during his trip to Colorado Springs and Canon City. "At the Blind school they seemed extremely pleased that they are to have new boilers allowed them by the general Assembly, the present ones having been used for twenty-eight years," the governor said. "Everyone seemed busy and active around the penitentiary. We saw men at the road camp twenty-three miles up the Arkansas valley, prisoners farming, raising poultry and doing many other things. Affairs were going with a high degree of efficiency at both institutions." During his visit at the penitentiary Governor Carlson addressed the prisoners at a general gathering in the prison chapel and heard the personal stories of about 100 men. It was his first inspection of the prison since he became governor. $12,455,882 In Insurance Premiums.

Colorado NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. ABOUT THE WAR Russian official reports announce a big victory over the Turks in the Khori-Dilman region of the Caucasus, in which 3,500 Moslems were killed. German and Austrian reports on their victory in West Galicia state that some 30,000 Russians were captured and that a large number of guns were taken. German submarines sunk the British steamer Edale off the Scilly Islands, and the Russian steamer Svorono, which was attacked off the Blasket Islands. In both cases the crews were saved. Renewal of advances, by the use of asphyxiating gases projected by the Germans, has alarmed the allies as to the possibility of holding their line in Flanders and preventing the Kaiser's forces reaching the coast at important points. The sinking of three Norwegian vessels and one Swedish and two British trawlers in the North sea by German submarines was reported in London. The attacks on the Norwegian vessels aroused great indignation in Norway, and vigorous representations that might lead to an open rupture are expected. The British public is awaiting with great interest the action of the United States with reference to the torpedoing of the American steamer Gulflight by a German submarine in the English channel. WESTERN "Hail stones as large as baseballs" were hurled upon scattered sections of Missouri in a storm which was referred to as the worst in a generation in reports from the damaged towns. A tornado sweeping over Bartlesville, Okla., caused a heavy property loss, especially at Ochelata, ten miles from there, where a large number of buildings were destroyed. With what is said to be the largest list of passengers aboard that ever crossed the Pacific ocean on a passenger ship, and with a cargo valued at $4,000,000, the Pacific mall liner Manchuria reached San Francisco from the Orient. Early returns on Tuesday's municipal election in Lincoln, Nebr., indicate the return of three of the present five commissioners — Dayton, Schroeder and Hensley, Charles W. Bryan, brother of W. J. Bryan, is far in the lead of present Mayor Zehrung, and probably will be Lincoln's next mayor. The fifth commissioner is in doubt. John R. Lawson, international board member of the United Mine Workers of America, was found guilty of first degree murder in the District Court at Trinidad, Colo., and was sentenced to the state penitentiary for life. Lawson was immediately turned over to the custody of his attorneys, and later was released on $20,000 bonds until motion for a new trial can be filed. Missing actual election by a narrow margin, Charles E. Sebastian, suspended chief of police of Los Angeles, was chosen by the people of that city in the primary for first place on the mayoralty ticket which will go before the electorate in the general election next month. Sebastian received approximately two-fifths of a vote which will probably not exceed 65,000 of the city's total registration of 200,000. WASHINGTON A review of the Colorado coal strike and its attendant problems will be resumed by the industrial commission beginning May 17. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., will be asked to testify. J. P. Morgan has been subpoenaed by the Supreme Court to answer the state of Virginia's suit to recover the will of Martha Washington, taken from the Fairfax county courthouse during the Civil war and now in the collection of manuscripts of the financier. A Plymouth, Eng., dispatch says the steamer Lyonnesse brought from the Scilly islands to Penzance thirty-three members of the crew and the body of Capt. Alfred Gunther of the American steamer Gulflight, which was torpedoed off the Scilly islands. The chief officer and chief engineer remain with the vessel, which is anchored in Crow sound, to look after the interests of the steamer's owners. The British embassy issued a statement for the information of American shipping interests, designed to facilitate trade of the United States with neutral countries by pointing out a way to guard against interference by allied warships with cargoes not under the ban of Great Britian's blockade order in council. ```markdown ``` Official Washington was cheered over the business outlook throughout the country as disclosed in reports to the federal reserve board from its agents in each of the twelve reserve districts. FOREIGN Notwithstanding the war, work on Australia's new capital, Canberra, is being pushed forward rapidly. Oxen will take the place in Berlin of many truck horses which have been requisitioned for military purposes. A memorial service for the Canadians who have fallen in the war will be held at St. Paul's cathedral, May 10. The so-called War Press in Germany is now publishing monthly nearly 3,000 different books, pamphlets and circulars dealing with the war. The Swedish minister at Berlin has informed the foreign minister by telegraph that of the eleven Swedish steamers brought to German ports, nine were released. Actual work on the construction of the first section of the government's Alaska, railroad has been begun at Ship Creek, according to word received at Seward, Alaska. An official statement issued at Capetown says that General Botha's Union of South Africa troops captured Otymbingue, an important post 100 miles east of Swakopmund, German Southwest, Africa. The British losses were only eight killed. Among the important measures passed at the recent session of the Alaska Legislature were a workmen's compensation act, an eight-hour law for placer miners and a bill providing for a referendum vote on territorial prohibition. In presenting the budget to the House of Commons in London the chancellor of the exchequer, David Lloyd-George, estimated that if the war lasted during the whole of the fiscal year Great Britain's expenditure in that time would be £1,136,434,000 ($5,000,000,000.) One of the largest shipments of copper ore ever received from Kennecott and McCarthy creek was taken to Cordova, Alaska, in a train of twenty-five cars for trans-shipment to the sinelater at Tacoma, Wash. The shipments consisted of 1,250 tons of ore valued at more than $300,000. The International Congress of women concluded its sessions at The Hague. At the final meeting there was adopted a proposal to send delegations representing the congress to the President of the United States and to the heads of all the European powers for the purpose of demanding immediate cessation of the war.

Henry McKee of Johnsville, Ohio, a school teacher died as a result of being struck by a batted baseball. A blood clot caused death. Just as he had finished winning a five-mile motor cycle cup race at Sacramento, Cal., Fred Farwell, aged eighteen, crashed into the fence and was fatally injured. He died at a hospital later. Ed Wash, pitcher for the Chicago American league team, who has been at Los Angeles all spring trying to get his arm into shape, is ill and slightly delirious at times. His physician diagnosed his case as grip. Jess Williard, the man that brought the title back to the white race by defeating Jack Johnson at Havana a few weeks ago, was in Denver Thursday and gave an exhibition, showing the blow that put Johnson "off watch." Ban Johnson, president of the American league, stated in an interview published in Boston that he had consented to have the suits between organized baseball and the Federal league taken out of the Federal Court in Illinois. GENERAL "Bright flowers for mothers living—white flowers for mother's memory" on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 9. dist building in New York. The Texas Senate adopted by a vote of 18 to 1, a resolution declaring a statement on Texas land tenancy, made by Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the federal commission on industrial relations, was unwarranted and unfounded. First place in the commerce of the world for the United States, if the war continues long, was predicted by Secretary of Commerce Redfield, in an address before the annual meeting of the American Academy of Political and Social Science at Philadelphia. The Rev. Dr. Jacob E.

The southern party of the Canada Arctic expedition was safe on Sept. 13, 1914, according to letters of that date received in Sioux City, Ia., by Mrs. Anderson from her husband, Dr. Rudolph M. Anderson, who is in charge of the party. The letters were written from Herschel island. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The first funds for the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth were collected in and around Marion, Mass., during the summer of 1891. Jennie Dean obtained work as a cook in a boarding house in Marion, and when her day's work was over, she went about talking of her school in churches or to any one that would listen to her. She also went to Washington, where she managed to interest in her scheme several prominent men and women, who formed a board of directors to promote the work. Miss Dean then went to Boston with letters to Dr. Edward Everett Hale, who helped her by sending out an appeal for funds from his own office, with the result that Jennie Dean returned to Manassas in the following spring with the necessary amount. Since the early days of the single frame schoolhouse to its present state of a number of substantial buildings, there have been desperately hard roads to travel, and the end has not been reached yet. Through all these years there has always been the same cry for more funds to carry on the work, for the cause of Negro education does not always call forth the largest contributions. Through all Miss Dean's untiring efforts and struggles, up to the time had the fullest sympathy of the Negroes of her section of Virginia. Many of them were too poor to give money, but there were few who did not give in some form, varying from a barrel of apples to a day's labor. There could never be a moment's question of the real need of an institution of this sort, the natural outgrowth of a deep and fervent desire of a people fully appreciative of their lack of all that would make them of value to the white man's world, of which they were now a part. The interest of the Negroes of this district in the school has increased year by year, and while their contributions are of necessity very small, they manage to raise annually something over a thousand dollars toward an endowment fund through personal gifts, church entertainments, picnics, and frequent church collections. Recently there was erected at the Hampton institute a two-story brick building to be used as a social center for the boys. Contracts were awarded to the trade school departments and student tradesmen did the construction work. Today the building stands completed. It is known as Clarke hall. It is used by the Young Men's Christian association. To appreciate the meaning of these three examples of construction work done by the Hampton tradesmen, one must see the completed structures and realize the building problems which the young Negro and Indian tradesmen met and successfully solved. While construction work calls for ability to read working drawings and follow detailed specifications, the demands made by repair problems are in many instances even more taxing. To make a repair quickly, skillfully and economically, requires unusual ability. Hampton institute is indeed an industrial village in which there is constant demand for men who can do good repair and construction work. So long as his mother lives there is no probability that anyone in our town will be permitted to forget that Lafe Swisgood has a good job in New York. When I consider the cost of this war; when I think of the blood that has been shed; of the property that has been destroyed and the misery that has been caused—I am sometimes inclined to thank God that I am not a member of a superior race. Rather I am disposed to thank God that I belong to a people that cannot hope and does not desire to prosper at the cost of any other race. There is a certain advantage in belonging to a race that has to make its way peacefully through the world; a race that prospers, if it prospers at all, because it has made friends rather than enemies of the people by whom it is surrounded. There is a certain satisfaction, also, in belonging to a race whose hope of success in the world consists of making itself useful to the world, and it is not wholly a disadvantage to the Negro that, though he should fight in every war as he has in this, it is not to maintain his own superiority, but that of some other race that he fights.—Booker T. Washington in the North American Review. For misinformation concerning any incident apply to a bystander. Next to the search for a good time, that of striving for comfort is the most marked human characteristic. Sim Heckle has a cushion on his wheelbarrow. A man goes back to his old home town and discovers that the girl he mistakes for the one he used to know is her granddaughter. If you are not particular about the way you get it, a good living can be made off those whom the doctors have failed to cure. In an interview at New York Mr. Percy Grainger, noted Australian pianist, said: "Frederick Delius has a harmonic and polyphonic sense that makes him like a modern Bach, and it is easy to see how he could be attracted by the improvised songs which he heard on his father's plantation. It is not so much the melody in these songs which attracts one as it is the method of singing—especially the part singing." He then referred to his stay in New York and the pleasure he had had in meeting several of the negro composers whose work he had previously known, and in hearing them play. "When I arrived in New York," Mr. Grainger said, "it was a very great pleasure to me to meet Mr. J. Rosamond Johnson, whom I had long admired as a composer, having fallen in love with his delightful song 'Under the Bamboo Tree' several years ago when I first heard it while on an extended tour in Australia, my native country. There were several good singers with me, and I choralized it and we sang it often. An American creative genius that I am particularly interested in is the colored composer, Will Marion Cook, whose choruses, 'Rain Song' and 'Invocation'—to mention only two—are works of great originality and true inspiration, and have a suitable harmonic flavor all their own. "I have had many delicious musical impressions while in New York, but none of my hours has been more happily spent than at the Music School Settlement for Colored People, over which Mr. Rosamond Johnson presided, and where I first heard the Hampton quartette, Mr. Henry Burleigh and several other fascinating Negro artists." No institution of learning is now complete without its extension department, and a recent "exhibit" in this direction was varied, dramatic and full of that humor that borders on pathos. Two men at Tuskegee were brought in from the adjoining country to tell how they acquired land and were now tilling their own farms, tracing their inspirations, of course, to the farmer conferences and to the radiating influences of Tuskegee. One woman told of how she secured a better schoolhouse for the "chillun." Egg selling, chicken raising, and many other ways too well known to the women of the North, which often indicate an obscure selfishness and a hidden penuriousness, here became high generality, and splendid courage. But more eloquent than the farmer parsons or the soliciting schoolhouse builders was the stern Angelolike countenance of the wife who said to the preacher, "You go to school and I will take care of the plowing and the children." She said not a word. She received no plaudits, but she, not the parson, moved the silent depths of the soul. One slip of a girl, from the "honor three months" of required cadeting in a country school, told how she not only washed up the schoolhouse but cleaned up the homes in which she boarded, brought in the cook stove that was all right except that it had lost one leg, and taught them how to enlarge their dietary list. The extension department of Tuskegee goes far afield and there were thrilling stories of achievements in South Carolina and other adjoining states.—Exchange. Rev. H. H. Dunn of New Orleans in a sermon has outlined the progress of the colored people of New Orleans for the last year. The first public playground for colored children was opened; $500 was raised by the colored citizens for it, and white citizens contributed $2,300 in addition; white and colored physicians met together to discuss Negro health; public library for Negroes has been started; the city council has purchased a site at a cost of $8,000 and appropriated $2,500 annually for maintenance; a building valued at $33,000 is nearing completion. The public school system still lacks a high school, but there are 8,164 pupils enrolled and 155 public school teachers, of whom eight are white. One new school building has been opened. The eighth grade has been restored in three schools, and will be started in another this month. There are a number of patrons' and parents' clubs. On the McMasters farm in Richmond, Me., there are two families of tame foxes, numbering 13 in all. They were brought up on a bottle and have become pets of the family. At Baldwin Farms, some dozen miles from Tuskegee, a few northern capitalists have secured possession of 2,000 acres or more of land, which they are selling in small lots on reasonable terms to ambitious homesteaders, helping them build the initial cottage, lending them a little money with which to get started. Here college graduates and city bred young husbands and wives are settling down contentedly to the task of making homes on the farm.

But you are not allowed to do it in peace. The waiter is right on hand with a clean cloth, which he prepares to lay for the next customer. He crowds and hustles about, removing the cloth, and plainly serving you with notice that your time is up. The place has your money, and it wants to be rid of you. If you protest, you may receive an apology; but that will not prevent the waiter from serving the next party in just the same way. The more crowded table d'hote places have another way of getting you out when you are done. If people are waiting for your table the waiter or the proprietor indicates you, even before you get to the coffee, to the next claimants, and stands these people up against the wall, somewhere in plain view, to wait for you to get out. "That gentleman'll be through in a minute, sir." You become conscious of these people hungrily watching you. If you take your coffee a sip at a time, you have a guilty feeling that you are possibly starving two worthy people to death. Besides, it is not pleasant to be watched in this way. So you swallow your coffee in a hurry, burning your throat, and get out as fast as possible. Club of Boomers of Mustache Meets in Boston Club of Boomers of Mustache Meets in Boston BOSTON.-The Mustache Club of America held its first annual banquet one evening recently at the Parker house. The scope of this young organization is nation-wide, although it was conceived in Beverly and all its members, to date, are temporary residents backsliders, but each vowed he'd have his mustache again before many weeks. David Black of Glasgow, Scotland, minus mustache, was toastmaster, and Mayor Herman A. MacDonald of Beverly was guest of honor and principal speaker. He talked partly on "Mustaches" and partly on civic duties of young men. President Philip Browning, a backslider, spoke briefly. Then came a historical paper, prepared and presented by Vice-President Andrew C. Hanson of Winchester, a mustache wearer, and Percy D. Collins of Saratoga Springs, N. Y., a backslider. This paper recounted the viciitudes of existence of the mustache since the time Adam sprothed his. Except for a few short periods, "notably during the reign of Queen Anne, when periwigs were in fashion—the mustache has always been in favor. During the nineteenth century the army led the mustache-wearing custom." Today the lack of mustaches is largely due, say these historians, to the wall of the scientist that "mustaches carry the greatest variety of germs and bacteria." Oldest of Government Buildings Is in Santa Fe SANTA FE, N.

Here reigned 100 executives of New Mexico. arms. The Spaniards finally made their escape and retreated in a memorable march to El Paso, on the Rio Grande. The building has recently been restored. Today it houses the Museum of New Mexico, with priceless treasures of archeological interest taken from the numerous cliff dwellings in the immediate vicinity of Santa Fe. The palace also houses the School of American Archeology, one of the five archeological schools maintained by the American Institute of Archeology, the others being in Greece, Italy, Palestine and China. The Historical Society of New Mexico, too, has its museum in the building. In addition, there are three fine libraries—one on linguistics, a library of New Mexicana and a private archeological library. New Mexico is proud of this palace of the governors, and considers it the most famous landmark in the United States, as it certainly is the oldest government building north of Mexico.

One would conclude from the complex form and problematic feature of the amendments to the city charter to be presented to electors on Tuesday, May 18th, that either the people of Denver are being put to special educational tests as a whole, or another attempt to place our city in a ridiculous position in the eyes of other municipalities is being planned. For the past three years and up to the present, the wording of the respective items on the ballot seem to be so meaningless (as one of our dailies expressed) that many voters go to the polls and, not wanting to be worried over the complication of the multitudinous items, even though some may be important, leave without exercising thoroughly the use of the franchise. The present city charter provides that after June 1 the elections commission shall consist of the Commissioner of Safety, the City Auditor, and an Elections Commissioner, the last of whom is to be elected March 18. Now comes a proposed amendment to the city charter to be voted upon providing for the election of two candidates and an election commissioner who shall comprise the elections commission. The question arises whether the form as provided for by the charter or the proposed amendment will be more advantageous to us. We cannot help from endorsing Mayor Perkins who, after two years experience on the commission form of government, comes out so plainly and shows to the public that the selfishness of each commissioner in working for his department, unmindful of the other, reduces the amount of interest that ought to be given the city, whereas if they had worked harmoniously, grand and better results would be achieved. The following quotation of Mayor Perkins ought to be taken seriously into consideration as a guidance in these amendments: "After two years of service under the commission form of government, I do not regard it as a success. I think the city fares better under the mayor plan. Each commissioner, under the commission form of government, works only for the interests of his own department, and the result is competition instead of unity. Each man naturally wants to make the best showing before the public and things important to the city as a whole are likely to be minimized by him if they do not concern the needs of his own department. The best form of government, I believe, is one that has a mayor as the executive head in control of all departments and a city council of seven men elected at large to make the laws. Public office is no place for the man who is poor and honest. Only the politician who is a grafter or the man who is independently rich can afford public life." If we refuse to give heed to these ideas coming from such a source, we would have another problem confronting us as to which way to turn, eventually consoling ourselves in the words of the poet: "Whither, or whither! Which way shall I fly, To the backwoods and there remain and die?" We can only suggest therefore to our people and the electors at large to be constant attendants at the meetings that these candidates address and hear their explanations of the various amendments, and if you are satisfied with them, then vote accordingly. The candidates appearing in this issue and our next are men of integrity who from our conversations with them impress us that they will bend every effort to accomplish the best for the people's interests and the upbuilding of the city. Knowing the majority of these candidates for years and finding them to be men of reliability, we can only urge you to give them your unstinted support for the positions they seek at the election on May 18th. WORK AND VOTE FOR A MORE EFFICIENT FIRE DEPARTMENT AND URGE YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS TO VOTE FOR HAPPIER DENVER HOMES. At the election May 18 there will be submitted a charter amendment providing for the Double-Platoon System in the Denver Fire Department. This means, if it carries, as it should that: The Fireman will no longer work twenty-four hours a day, with three hours off for meals. You will see that in 1913, against 1911, there was a reduction of about 50 per cent. in fire losses, although property involved was more valuable in the latter year. Every woman who believes in the home and the home life, of which the city fireman has little at present, should think of the fireman's wife when she votes May 18. Every voter, whether a taxpayer or not, should vote "For an amendment to the charter of the City and County of Denver for a more efficient Fire Department." PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. E. 23rd.

The day was marked by interesting and instructive sermons; the pastor preaching in the morning and the Rev. Dr. De Claybrooke, a former pastor of the church, preaching at the evening meeting. Two souls were added to the membership: Frankie Watkins for baptism and Miss Irna Majors by Christian experience. At the close of the evening service twelve persons were fellowshipped into the church, after which the monthly communion was administered. Two souls received the rite of baptism in the morning. Mother's Day services will be held all day tomorrow. Every person in the community should attend some church in honor of mother.

Not in a number of years have we witnessed such an outpouring of the citizens of Denver to our religious worship as we saw at the three services last Sabbath. Presiding Elder Ward preached a most acceptable sermon at the morning hour and Dr. J. P. Howard delivered the message with great power both at the afternoon and evening hours. The revival will continue through tomorrow with a pew rally. Thirty captives have obligated themselves to secure a sufficient attendance to fill two pews each and to receive the offering for the same. This effort is towards a fund to renovate the church building. Come out and help us. Dr. J. P. Howard will occupy the pulpit, morning and evening tomorrow. His sermon topics will be, 11:00 a. m., "God's Great Gift," and at 8:00 p. m., "The Resurrection of the Body." The revival will close Monday night with a baptismal service and a closing offering for Evangelist Howard.

(Advertisement) I HAVE A GREAT IDEA YOU PAY MY TAXES! "SWINDLE" TAX WHY SINGLE TAX? Single Tax would permit the Wealthy to escape paying their just share of Governmental expenses, and would throw the burden upon the small property owner. Stop and consider who would bear the burden if Denver should relieve the big Department Stores, Banks, Wholesale Houses and large Office Buildings from their share of the cost of Government. Vacant lots and lands being the least able to bear the burden of increased taxation would be the first to fall under the plan of assessment advocated by the Single Tax agitators. With the vacant lots of the City removed from the tax roll, all Government expenses would of necessity be assessed against improved property which in its turn would be confiscated as a sacrifice to the doctrine of Henry George. Vote "NO" on Single Tax Amendment No. 4. Henry George preached that private property in land was a crime and urged the confiscation of privately owned land. The present agitators for Single Tax are disciples of Henry George. ANTI-SINGLE TAX LEAGUE, HARRY C. JAMES, PRESIDENT. DR. HERMAN H.

RATIONAL, NECKO DOLL COMPANYS ia eXATIONAL QMEANT. NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Vice-President Now Has a Nice Flag for Himself WASHINGTON.—Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall has a flag of his own and it is an official banner. This means that every time he visits an American warship and is piped over the side he will enjoy the pleasurable It remained for Secretary Daniels to provide Mr. Marshall with a flag. It grew out of the fact that Vice-President Marshall was going to San Francisco to represent President Wilson at the Panama-Pacific exposition. When the president arranged for himself to be represented in this manner, and plans were made for the vice-president to be received on board the armored cruiser Colorado, the flagship of Admiral Howard, it occurred to Secretary Daniels that a more fitting reception in the attendant ceremonies should be accorded him than those previously prescribed. Hence the new flag. This new flag has now been permanently prescribed for the vice-president in the future and will hereafter be displayed on ships of the navy whenever the vice-president is on board. The ceremonies attending a visit of the president to a ship of the navy include the manning of the rail by the crew, holsting his flag and firing a salute of 21 guns upon his arrival, and hauling down his flag and firing a second salute upon his departure from the ship. The honors given the vice-president were formerly the same as those given the president, except that the rail was not manned by the crew and the salute of 19 guns was given only upon his departure, and the national colors were displayed during the salute. What National Bird Reserves Do for the Farmer What National Bird Reserves Do for the Farmer T is believed in Washington that the farmers in many parts of the United States have little idea of the extent to which the federal government goes to protect them and their interests from harm. Department of agriculture At the present time there are 74 such bird reserves scattered throughout the entire country, and especially on the lonely islands that are found along the different coasts. These reserves have been created through reference from the interior department to the president, who signs executive orders declaring the place to be a reserve, immediately these places come under the general law which makes it unlawful to kill birds, take their eggs or to willfully disturb the birds. A maximum fine of $500 and a sentence in jail for six months are provided for violations of this law. The bird reserves now existing are being administered under the direction of the biological survey of the United States department of agriculture. During the last year nine new bird reserves were established, scattered between Alaska and Porto Rico; two new ones in Alaska, one of which, in the Aleutian islands, was established not only for the purpose of protecting native birds, but also for the encouragement of propagation of fur-bearing animals, reindeer and food fishes. Other bird reserves established during the year were in Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi and also the Canal zone. "Mystery" of Chimney of the British Embassy "Mystery" of Chimney of the British Embassy ANOTHER "mystery" of international politics was uncovered in Washington recently by an American newspaper man. Fired by memories of the romance and intrigue in Washington during the Russo-Japanese war and by residence next door. The chimney wouldn't draw, and, therefore, there was not enough fire to warm the chilled secretaries and attaches. Hundreds of Washingtonians who had whispered to one another the story of how a bricklayer was employed to block up an opening in the chimney, and how a set of dictaphone wires was found there, were doomed to read an unravelment of this "mystery" of international politics that is amusing rather than important. Here it is as it came from one of the embassy attaches: "What happened when we had our chimney fixed: Why, the fire burned all right. What did we find? Why, we found an awful lot of dust and soot. Charley is going to get a scolding for letting that chimney get so dirty." "A Dictaphone Easily Could Be a Diplomat's Delight." What Becomes of the Holes in Postage Stamps ONE who passes by the bureau of printing and engraving in Washington may often see on a concrete platform a number of barrels being roughly "headed up" and loaded into wagons. If he takes a peek into one of the fall into baskets and being of no use whatever, are barreled up and carted to the city dump. The bureau of printing and engraving turns out a barrel and a half of these "holes" every week day, which means nine barrels a week and 468 barrels a year. It is needless to say no one ever counted the number of "holes" in a barrel, but as the bureau prints 12,000,000,000 stamps a year and there are 21 perforations for each stamp, or a total of 251,000,000 for the year's output, it is evident that each of the 468 barrels contains approximately 622,461,628 holes.

What National Bird Rese It is believed in Washington that the States have little idea of the extent to protect them and their interests fr officials have often cried out against the wanton slaughter of birds, declaring that these birds were necessary to keep down the insect pests and thereby protect the farmers' crops, but they have not stopped at this.

It was a little shop in Wardour street, one of the oldest quarters of London. Helen paused before the dusty window with its alluring assortment of old prints, antique tapestries and yellowed laces. It was here she had bought, on their last trip, a curious old bead bag and a sampler dated 1764. As she turned from the window one of the old-maid sisters, who had served her, appeared in the doorway with an eager smile of recognition. their key was not at the desk, and knew that Warren had come. waiting for the slow-running lift ran up the two flights of stairs. In answer to her eager knock, ren opened the door. He was in shirt sleeves, a towel in his hand. "Oh, dear, I'm sorry I'm late," ing his head down for a damp smelly kiss. "But look—look we bought!" She tore off the paper and shook the shawl on the bed. "Your window's so tempting I couldn't pass without stopping. No, thank you, I'll not come in. I'm not buying anything this trip." But the woman looked so wistfully disappointed that Helen reluctantly entered. "We've some very interesting things that you didn't see before," she began hopefully. "Oh, I'm sure you have," glancing around the dim little shop crowded with dusty treasures. "And we're selling everything very cheap now—we have to," simply. "Our brother's in the war." Helen murmured her sympathy. "We had a post card from him three weeks ago," her lips quivered, "but not a word since." The older sister came in now from the back room. She looked pathetically colorless and frail. "Sarah, this is an American lady who bought some things of us last year." She smiled vaguely. It was plain she did not remember. "Oh, how lovely," exclaimed Helen, as the other sister now took from a chest an exquisitely embroidered white crepe shawl with long knotted silk fringe. "Brother bought this down in Devonshire just a few months before he left," stroking the fringe with a thin, blue-veined hand. "It's marked seven pounds, but we'll take five for it now—that's just what he paid." "I'd love to have it," Helen admitted, "but I couldn't think of it now. It's costing us so much to live over here—the hotels and restaurants have all put up their prices!" "Ah, yes, food is high," the older sister sighed, "but everything else is cheap. Look at us—we'll sell our goods for almost nothing—and no one will buy. Last week sister sold a piece of tapestry that cost us twelve shillings for eight. I don't know what we shall do, I don't know—I don't know!" Then, as though fearing she had said too much, she went back into the rear room. "Sister's not well," apologized the other. "She's grieved so over brother that she's not the same." Then taking up the shawl and holding it so the long fringe fell together in a rich mass she asked uncertainly, "Don't you think it's worth four pounds to you—even now?" "Then three," desperately. Helen hesitated. She was really distressed. "I'm sorry, but I told you when I came in I couldn't buy." "I know you did, and we—we've always been a one-price shop," proudly, "but now—" her voice broke. "It's hard—it's very hard," murmured Helen. "But the war can't last forever—it must end soon." "But if brother never—" she bit her lip; she could not put into words the possibility of his never coming back. "Oh, you don't know—he was such a good brother! And he was the best judge of tapestries in London," proudly. "They never had a sale at Christie's that he wasn't called in. We had an established business here—but now—" She took up the shawl again and tremulously stroked the fringe. "You can have it for two pounds!" in a low voice. "You could sell it to any dealer in America for three times that much." Two pounds! Helen caught her breath. Three pounds had been absurdly cheap, but two pounds for that shawl! It would make the most wonderful evening wrap. She hesitated. Then the bargain instinct that is in every woman succumbed to this final offer. "Very well, I'll take it." But as she counted out the money she was vaguely troubled. The thought of these women being forced to such a sacrifice was disquieting. Yet if she did not take advantage of it someone else would. She had not asked them to take so little—the sale had been pressed upon her. When Helen left the shop, she saw by a clock in a chemist's window that it was a quarter after six. Warren always came home about seven. She must get back to the hotel before then. Two pounds for that shawl. Her impatient fingers tore a slit in the paper through which gleamed the heavy silk fringe. She hurried on to the top of Charling Cross road, the nearest bus line, but as many of the London buses had been drafted for the war, it was fifteen minutes before the one she wanted came by. When she finally reached the hotel their key was not at the desk, and she knew that Warren had come. Not waiting for the slow-running lift, she ran up the two flights of stairs. In answer to her eager knock, Warren opened the door. He was in his shirt sleeves, a towel in his hand. "Oh dear, I'm sorry I'm late," drawing his head down for a damp soap-smelly kiss. "But look—look what I bought!" She tore off the paper and shook out the shawl on the bed. "There, isn't that the most beautiful thing you ever saw. It'll make the most gorgeous evening wrap—and I won't even have to cut it!" "Thought you weren't to get any expensive togs this trip?" rubbing his neck and head in vigorous man-fashion. "Expensive! What do you think I paid for it? Two pounds!" "You never got that for two pounds," examining the heavy embroidery. "I did, dear, I did!" excitedly. "At that little shop in Wardour street where I got the bead bag last year. Don't you remember I told you about those two old-maid sisters? The ladies that look like Dickens characters. Well, their brother's in the war, and they need the money." "Need it bad enough to sell that for two pounds?" While Helen breathlessly explained their desperate condition, Warren took the shawl to the window, scrutinized it, then threw it back on the bed. There was something in his frowning silence that made her vaguely uneasy. "Why, dear, don't you think it's exquisite? Don't you think it's wonderfully cheap?" "What'd they ask for it in the first place?" "It was marked seven pounds, but she said I could have it for five—just what her brother paid." "Yet you got it for two?" "Why yes, but I—" "Well, it's all right to get things cheap, but we don't want to steal them. Here," throwing two pounds on the bed. "take that to those women first thing in the morning. Understand?" "Oh," flushing hotly, "I don't think of it that way." "Huh, you're always spouting about the suffering war brings to women. But the first real chance you get to help one," contemptuously, "you grind her down to the last cent." "Why, Warren, you don't think I asked her to take so little? Why, she almost forced it on me." "So much the worse," scowling at the rough edges of a fresh collar. "Shows how desperate she was. Jove, if I'm ever up against it, I'll take my chances with a man every time." With burning cheeks Helen slowly refolded the shawl. "Where're we going for dinner?" curtly, struggling with the collar, his chin in the air. "Oh, dear, I can't bear to have you think I took advantage of that woman. I feel wretched about it." "You ought to. I've noticed your sympathy's always the kind that doesn't cost anything. Hot air's mighty cheap, but when it comes down to brass tacks—you're not there. Now where're we going for dinner?" "Dear, don't say that—it isn't true! It's only because I felt we shouldn't buy anything now. I didn't once ask her to take less—oh, I think you might believe that." "Well, if you don't intend to buy—why the deuce are you snooping around the shops? Make 'em drag out everything in the place, then say you're only looking—do you?" viciously brushing his coat. "Now what about dinner?" "Warren, you know I never do that. I wasn't even going inside. I was just looking in the window and she saw me. I told her I wasn't buying a thing this trip—oh, it isn't fair for you to make me so miserable about it." "Well, most of these English people are having pretty rough sledding just now, so don't be too blamed keen on getting something for nothing. But all you women are alike," with a shrug. "You'd sell your eternal souls for a bargain. See here, I'm as empty as a drum—didn't have time for lunch. How about Simpson's for dinner?" Meteor Observations in America. The American Meteor society has announced that it would be glad to secure any unpublished meteor records, of any year, and to undertake their discussion and reduction. Communications on the subject should be addressed to Prof. Charles P. Olivier, Leander McCormick observatory, University of Virginia. This society, founded in 1911, has a membership of only twenty; a good index of the small amount of attention paid in this country to the observation of meteors. The members include both amateur and professional astronomers, who make their observations in accordance with a uniform plan, and forward the results to the headquarters of the organization to be digested and published—Scientific American.

COLORADO Beautiful Shrubs That Protect Bulbs. WHEN TO PLANT BULBS By MRS. JOHN FIELD. Hardy bulbs should be planted as early in the fall as possible. Dealers will not begin sending out bulbs much before the latter part of September. Early orders get the best bulbs. The best soil for bulbs for the house is a rich loam mixed with sand. If too heavy, add turf matter to lighten it. Always choose a well-drained locality for your bulb-seed; if not naturally so, put at least six inches of broken crockery, pieces of brick, old shoes, old bones, and the like in the bottom of the bed. Never take bulbs out of the package the florist sends them in until you are ready to plant them. Do not leave them exposed to the light or air, as this will cause loss of moisture and weaken vitality. The scales of lily bulbs often become soft and flabby when exposed to the air, because of the evaporation of the sap, which is the life blood of the bulb. Such bulbs are weakened, and hardly worth planting. Put all bulbs in the cellar or in a dark, cool place until ready to plant. Many plants will grow well in an ordinary window in winter, but the number that will soften freely under such conditions are few and need special preparation. Many failures are due to an unwise selection of kinds, as well as to the extremes of heat to which the ordinary room is subjected. September is a good time to root Chrysanthemums Can Be Grown Indo Are Looke Chrysanthemums Can Be Grown Indoors If the Right Soil and Temperature Are Looked Out For. THE HOUSE PLANTS In the potting of house plants you can mix the proper soil yourself if you mix the needs of the different plants. Take some old blue grass soil and pile it up until it rots, and you will have the ideal form of decayed vegetable matter for the principal constituent of all kinds of soil for potted plants. There are three kinds of potting soil, as follows: For geraniums and the ordinary varieties of blooming plants.—Three parts loam from the rotted soil, one part well, rotted manure and one part sand if the soil is heavy. For ferns, begonias and such foliage plants.—Two parts loam, one part leaf mold or peat, and one-half part sand if soil is heavy. For palms or roses.—Two parts clay loam and one part well rotted manure, and sand to suit the texture condition. Use the finger test to learn if the plants need water; when the soil crumbles easily until dry it needs water; when it cakes readily there is too much water; so do not give the plants a little each day, but only water when needed. Never use a nozzle on the end of a hose in watering as it causes the stream to pack the soil and injure the foliage --- ```markdown ``` cuttings taken from soft wood plants, but the "bloomers" for the house should have been slipped and rooted last May or June. Cuttings taken as late as September of the new half ripened wood of many annuals and perennials will make nice house plants and some of these should bear flowers if well cared for. Hardy bulbs may be planted among shrubbery, and these will give bloom at a time when the branches of the shrubbery are bare of foliage, lighting up the grounds wonderfully. The shrubbery will in turn serve to protect the bulb flowers and foliage from disastrous effects of early, cold rain storms and rough spring winds. GENERAL FLOWER HINTS Cut and pile sod for pot compost later. Weather seldom affects weeds ad versely. Heavy shade is often worse than strong sunlight. Sow seeds for basket plants and window garden now. Prune out the branches of the dahlia to promote development of flowers; water well, and tie to stakes. Prune older, weaker branches from shrubs and roses that are done blooming, and mulch roots. Cut flowers of annuals that seed freely and prolong the season of bloom. If allowed to mature seeds they cease to bloom. For potted plants that must have sunshine, set the pots in a jardiniere or set in a box with a packing of moss around them to encourage moisture. ors If the Right Soil and Temperature d Out For. To prevent your window plants from blooming only on the street side, turn them occasionally and you will have the blooms in the room as well. Do not give foliage plants as much light as for flowering plants; keep the ferns in a shady corner; a north window is a good place. Use as dry material only well rotted manure. To prepare liquid manure to be applied only after the ordinary watering has been done, take an ordinary barrel containing one-half bushel of fresh cow dung and if extra strength be required add a couple of quarts of fresh hen manure and cover with water. After it has been fermented thoroughly the coarse material will all settle to the bottom and you may fill the barrel with water and the solution is ready to be applied to your plants. An application every two weeks is generally all that is required for most plants. For this process sand is generally used, or very light soil, as most favorable for the formation of new roots. The geranium is perhaps the easiest to begin with and a good healthy top should be selected where wood has formed. Take a sharp knife and cut below the joint. Foliage plants are very easily propagated, and every woman can do her own work of this nature with great satisfaction. PROPER WAY TO MAKE COFFEE Beverage Requires Care in its Preparation if One Would Have it at Its Best. All the world loves a good cup of coffee. The average housekeeper seems to think, however, that all that is necessary is to put in the coffee pot a few tablespoonfuls of indifferent coffee, and a little hot water, and let it take care of itself, to come to the table as luck determines, either palatable or so muddy and weak as to be undrinkable. While a percolator is best for making the beverage, as it can then be made at the table and boiling water assured, still good coffee is made in the old-fashioned coffee jar. Be sure that the coffee is properly ground and roasted, and do not have it ground too fine, as when too finely ground it makes muddy coffee, and be sure to put into the pot a tablespoonful of coffee for each cup to be served, and one for the pot. Settle with a part of an egg, and use boiling water, allowing the coffee to boil for a few seconds. Do not use a whole egg each day for clearing coffee Break a small hole in the end of the shell and use only a part of the egg. Then wrap the egg in a cloth and keep it in a cup in a cool place. It will then serve for several days. Some housekeepers mix well-beaten eggs with a pound of coffee and let dry in a warm oven, taking care not to burn by stirring often. This makes coffee taste just as good as if it were added just before using, and saves trouble. If you use a percolator, fill the upper part with the coffee, press it down firmly, then gradually pour on the boiling water, having previously measured the amount required. Put on the lid and let the liquid run through, remembering that the slower the water is added the better the coffee. For cafe noir a tablespoonful of ground coffee should be allowed for each cup. GOOD JELLY AND MARMALADE Mixture of Grapefruit and Lemons Is Recommended as One of the Best Known. For eight glasses of jelly and twelve glasses of marmalade, six grapefruits and three medium-sized lemons. Remove and discard thin outer yellow rind. Remove all white and tie this in a close-mesh bag. Shred pulp very fine. Add three times its bulk of water. Boil hard 45 minutes with the bag of white (which furnishes the pectin). Skim frequently, remove bag, throw contents away. Strain off six glasses of clear liquid and let both pulp (which should also have sufficient liquid on it) and clear juice stand 24 hours. Carefully siphon off the top of the clear liquid, put to boil ten minutes, add equal quantity of warmed sugar and boll till it "jells" (about five minutes). When the liquid "sheets" from the spoon it is jelled. Treat the pulp the same way for the marmalade. Those who do not object to the orange peel and white may leave it in. This process makes the clear amber jelly. The part which settles in the clear juice will make good jelly, but it is opaque. Caramel Custard. Five eggs, three tablespoonfuls sugar, one quart milk, two tablespoonfuls vanilla—beat eggs with sugar five minutes, add vanilla—let the milk come to a boil, take it off to cool; when lukewarm pour it into the eggs slowly, beating your eggs while doing so. For your caramel: Put one pound granulated sugar in an iron spider or kettle, wet it with a little water, set it cook slowly until it gets a nice brown-stir it so it won't burn; pour this in your pudding dish all around the sides; when cold, pour the custard in and it is ready for the oven; bake 20 minutes with a medium heat. Try with blade of knife if ready. To be eaten cold. Orange Puffs. Cream 1½ tablespoonfuls butter, add one-fourth cupful sugar, gradually, one egg yolk beaten, two tablespoonfuls of milk and one-half cupful flour mixed and sifted with three-fourths teaspoonful of baking powder and few grains of salt. Serve with orange sauce made by beating the white of one egg until stiff, using a silver fork; add gradually one-third cupful powdered sugar, then add three tablespoonfuls orange juice and one-half teaspoonful lemon juice. Macaroni Milanaise. Two tablespoonfuls butter, one tablespoonful flour, one-fourth teaspoonful salt, one-fourth teaspoonful paprika, one-half cupful brown stock, one-half cupful strained tomatoes. Make a sauce of these ingredients, add one cupful cooked macaroni, and when that is hot add one-fourth cupful parmesan cheese. Lift and relift the macaroni until it is thoroughly blended with the mixture. This recipe is designed to serve four persons. German Salad. One small cabbage cut fine, either chopped or shredded, one large beet sliced, six hard-boiled eggs. Season the cabbage with salt and pepper, place on a flat salad dish, pile it rather high and arrange around it alternate slices of the beet and eggs. If you wish, garnish with white celery leaves. Put dots of either mayonnaise or a thick boiled dressing on the cabbage, but do not mix it in. Pass more dressing when the salad is served.

The COLORADO STATESMAN Pineapple is now often in the marget the year round. The price is pro is now often in the marrow.

A slice of pineapple placed on a crisp inner leaf of lettuce, a ball of seasoned cream cheese filling the cavity made by removing the core, add a dressing made by thickening the pineapple juice with an egg, season with salt and a dash of lemon juice. Olive oil may be added if richness is desired or a bit of butter. The dressing is cooked. JOB PRINTING Pineapple Sherbet—Take a cupful of sugar, three currufs of boiling water and boil until thick, add the juice of a lemon, one can of grated pineapple, the white of one egg, beaten until stiff, added after the sherbet is partly frozen. The sirup makes a richer frozen dish than sugar and water. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Pineapple Dessert.—Serve one slice of pineapple to each person with a ball of vanilla ice cream on each, sprinkle with chopped nuts and the juice of the pineapple boiled, until thick, with sugar. Another—arrange a slice of pineapple for each person, sprinkle with nuts. Take the juice from the can, heat and add one-half cupful of water, one teaspoonful of gelatin and a tablespoonful of sugar, more if it is liked sweeter. When all is well mixed pour over the slices of pineapple and put away to cool. Serve with sweetened whipped cream. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice.
