The session of the Colorado Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which was brought to a close Sunday evening last at Shorter Chapel, was declared one of the most brilliant and successful in its history. Large increases in membership and conference claims were reported and a well arranged and varied program covering five days were rendered and a fine spirit of fellowship pervaded the entire session. The young people and laity of the conference were given a larger place on the conference program which so fired the hearts of the public that Shorter's large auditorium was crowded at almost every session and overflowed at all the Sunday services. Our local churches made flattering reports, Campbell chapel surpassing all previous records and Shorter chapel rolling up $475 dollar money and reporting 203 accessions to its membership, which is the largest number ever reported from this charge. Shorter did herself credit in the very splendid way in which she entertained the delegation. A beautiful rest room for the ladies was an innovation which met with popular approval. The entertainment of the conference was under the auspices of the several auxiliaries of the church, deaconess, stewardess, Missionary Society, Sewing Circle, Ladies' Aid Society, A. C. E. League, Ushers' Club and Sunday school. Each vied with the other in their efforts to make their day the best. This being the final year of the quadrennium, unusual interest was manifested in the election of delegates to the Centennial General Conference, to be held in Philadelphia, Pa., in May, 1916. The result of the election was as follows: Revs. Robert L. Pope, B.D., and A. M. Ward, delegates, and Revs. Jas. Washington and J. M. Endicott, alternates. Bishop Parks never appeared to better advantage than in presiding over this conference. His men were charmed with the way in which the affairs of the conference were managed and the fine spirit of fairness which was evidenced on all occasions. The desire for return of Bishop H. B. Parks to the Fifth Episcopal district for another four years was freely expressed by both ministry and layman. In token of the very high regard in which Bishop and Mrs. Parks are held by the members of the Colorado Conference a handsome Thermal bottle and Brief case were presented the Bishop and a beautiful hand-painted dressing table set was given Mrs. Parks by the men and women, respectively. The conference closed Sunday evening, when the assignments for another year were made as follows; COLORADO ANNUAL CONFER- ENCE APPOINTMENTS. Rocky Mountain District—Rev. A. M. Ward, Presiding Elder.

Colored Citizens Gain School Facilities Colored Citizens Gain School Facilities Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 17. The Negro school children of Jacksonville will be provided with additional facilities to the extent of three new high school buildings, which is to be the equal in every way of the high school building for white children. This is the outcome of the fight made by Negro taxpayers to secure a large proportion of the funds accruing from the $1,000,000 bond issue recently voted by Duval county for educational purposes. The Board of Education appropriated for the Negro schools only $115,000 of the million dollars voted, and this was to be used in improving the graded schools only, renovating some of the old buildings. No provision was made for a high school. Led by Capt. J. W. Floyd, one of the largest taxpayers. State Hist. & Nat Hist Booths State House GIANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO S WHO ADV.

L. Purcell and other legal talent employed to secure an injunction. Purcell argued the case before the court and was sustained in every contention. The court's decision tied up the sale of the bonds. The Board of Education held a meeting and reconsidered its former action. Resolutions were passed providing for three additional graded schools at a cost of $5,000 each, and a high school building on the present site to cost $85,000. Every facility will be provided and the equipment is to be identical with that of the high school for whites. Besides, three other of the schools for Negro children are to have added to the curriculum a domestic science course with special teacher for the same. There will, therefore, be appropriated for schools for Negroes in Jacksonville, $215,000 in stead of the intended $115,000. A NEW SOLUTION (From New York Age.) A writer in The Evening Mail sets forth a new solution of the Negro problem. His plan, to himself, is very simple. He claims that the whole question "can be --- at the Colorado Annual Conference orter Chapel, and who was elected election to Centennial General Cou- Philadelphia, Pa. solved at one stroke by the compulsory enlistment of every able bodied male Negro between the ages of eighteen and forty in a huge standing army." He calculates that such an enlistment would provide the United States with an excellent army of one million men. The writer in The Mail pays a fine tribute to the loyalty and fighting record of colored men in all the wars of the United States, but he feels that all the officers of his million-men army should be white. He figures his plan out in detail; for example, he shows that this army could be maintained at very small cost, because in time of peace it could be employed in straightening out the Mississippi River, building dikes and levees, irrigating and reclaiming the American desert, building railroads and working mines in Alaska, and on other such jobs. Tnen, when war came along, they could be used as breastworks. Not a bad plan, if the Negro himself is not considered. Yet, as good a business deal as it would be to have a million able-bodied men engaged on the national public works at fifteen dollars per month each, and ready to fight whenever needed. we are sure that the proposition will not appeal to the American people. In the first RACE NEWS Brookhaven, Miss., September 16. —A verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $1,250 was returned by the jury in the case of John Osborne, colored, et al. against the Illinois Central Railroad company. The suit was for the death of a relative of the plaintiff, who was struck and killed by an engine of the defendant while walking down the track. The suit was for $3,000 Springfield, Ill., Sept. 14. When a resolution was introduced into the Illinois conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church on Monday petitioning the general conference to elect a Negro bishop the conference refused to pass it, although a strong fight in its favor was made by the Rev. J. A. Kumler, of Hamilton, Ohio. Dr Kumler declared that there were Negroes in the M. E. Church who would be an honor to Methodist episcopacy and declared that "when we push this people out of the church, Christ will feel himself a stranger to it." Paterson, N. J. Sept. 15.—Sixteen Germans and Austrians who have been interned at Hoboken on the German ships were given jobs on Monday at the Hamilton Club, to which the mayor and other prominent officials belong. The Negro employees who have been there for many years were discharged. Charles I. Morey, superintendent, is responsible for the change, which is evidently one of steps being taken to care for the place, in spite of the Negro's superb loyalty, it would be only natural for the white people to hesitate about placing their safety in the hands of a million armed men of a race which is treated as they treat the Negro. Their own consciences would make them hesitate If the writer in The Mail is most concerned about military preparedness for this country, we say to him that no compulsory enlistment will be necessary for the Negro. In times past when he did not have so much to fight for, he has freely and bravely risked his life for the flag; he will do the same today, if it is required. If the writer in The Mail is most concerned about solving the Negro problem, we say to him there is only one solution, and that is to treat the Negro justly and give him a fair chance. In other words, a square deal will do it." NO 6 Germans forced to stay in this country because of the war. Isaac Fisher, Editor of the Tuskegee Negro Farmer, who has gained nation wide fame as a writer on economic and business questions, for which he has won many prizes, has written a love drama, entitled, "When True Love Wins." So good is the story that the Southern Motion Picture Company, (white) a local firm, has put it into a play using a number of prominent colored people as the cast. This play was shown for the first in the Champion Theatre in Birmingham on September 13th 14th. The manager of the Motion Picture Company has already asked Mr Fisher to write other plays. In addition to this Mr. Fisher won $10.00 in the recent Race Leaders of the World Contest for Ideas, his name heading the list for Alabama. WHITE FUNERAL Dover, Del., Sept. 15.—The most unusual funeral ever held in Kent County will take place in Dover tomorrow afternoon, when the remains of George Washington Hall, Delaware's best known Negro, will be placed in their last resting place. Hall's funeral will be most unique in that all Negroes are excluded from attending the funeral services and his pall-bearers will consist of some of the most prominent white men in the state. While a full-blooded Negro, Hall, during his life-time, never associated with members of his race, but was known throughout the State as the "white man's Negro." Hall. who was well over 60 years of age at the time of his death in a Philadelphia hospital last week, was a slave before the Civil War and was owned by a family near Georgetown, in Sussex County. He was then but a boy, and he never tired of relating his experiences, especially one occurrence which affords him much amusement in later years. It was the custom in those days, when a slave misbehaved himself, to send him to the county sheriff with a note telling that official to apply a certain number of lashes to his hide. Hall had committed some misdemeanor and was given a note to carry to the sheriff. While he could not read, he sur- Continued on Fourth Page 1023 Twenty-first Street, DENVER, COLO.

Robley at Eugene, Ore., in 1913, married to another man within a short time, and then divorced from him, Mrs. Mabel Crandall Robley, 18 years old, arrived in Denver from Oregon and was married again to Mr. Robley. Over 2,000 attended the meeting of the Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star in Denver, which opened with a reception and ball in honor of Grand Matron Nina M. Weiss of Del Norte and Grand Patron Martin H. Fynn of Grand Junction, given by the eight Denver chapters. OUT OF HIS CLASS By JANE OSBORN. Katherine Morley, old Doctor Morley's beautiful daughter, was the undisputed widow of Clayton college. And after she had ushered seven classes into Clayton she was smilingly spoken of by the other girls of the town as "The Youth's Companion." Whether it was because she resented this or because of a deeper reason it is hard to tell, but just as the eighth freshman class since her eighteenth birthday was about to enter Clayton, Katherine Morley assumed another pose. College men failed to interest her any longer, she told people. "They had no true feeling. Her ideal man was more of a primitive." This was all right as a drawing-room pose, but when Katherine put it into practice and began to be seen walking on Sunday afternoons in the country and attending local attractions with a certain handsome young factory foreman whose cheap green suit and creaky shoes, wide spreading hat and gaudy neckties were suggestive of Hungarian peasant origin, the college community was filled with consternation. And when this flirtation lasted through the winter, and Katherine quite frankly mentioned this young peasant — Alec Brajaska — to her friends and received him at her home when her father was away, things began to look serious. Most to be pitied was Doctor Morley, her father. One day his assistant in the sociology department, Beardsley Drew, suggested that he might be of some assistance. "Something surely will have to be done," replied the father. "It is getting to be outrageous. I have spoken to Katherine myself about it. I dread taking the step, but I see no other way out of it. I am afraid Katherine is serious. I can have at least the satisfaction of knowing something of the man's origin. I must know whether there is any reason why Katherine ought not to marry him. I know of no one who can undertake the investigation so well as you, Mr."Drew." The result of this conference was that Prof. Beardsley Drew undertook the task of looking into the record and standing of Alec Brajaska. As a professor of sociology, he had studied, perhaps more interestedly than Dr. Morley knew, the life and the customs of the factory elements of the men and women in town, who were so far removed from the college circle and college interests. He knew their various dialects, and the task was not difficult. Drew began his task in a sensible way by discarding his regular clothes, which would have branded him as an outsider, and with a shabby suit and a pair of brilliant tan shoes and a cheap broad brimmed felt hat he saliled forth. He went to the house where Brajaska was known to live. It was at the hour when the young man would naturally be at work. A young foreign woman answered his knocking and proved to be the daughter of the woman who kept the boarding house at which Brajaska and several of his associates took their meals. Professor Drew arranged to take board at the same place. It was the easiest way to evade suspicion, and as he was having a week's vacation he could carry out his plan without fear of being suspected. He occasionally talked with Brajaska, but more frequently with the associates. He lingered after the other boarders one morning at breakfast and started to speak of Brajaska to Magda, the young daughter. "You seem to know Brajaska," he said. "How is it? Did you know him in the old country?" Magda told him a few things about his bringing up, his boyhood ambitions. He was thirty and she was twenty. They had lived on adjoining farms in the old country and for years her father had been saving to come to this country and had influenced Alqc to come. They had all come together and then her father had died. Suddenly the girl stopped talking and then Morley looked up in surprise to see that she was crying. He put his hand impulsively on her shoulder and she did not resent it. She was apparently too much preoccupied with her own grief. "Do you not know," she asked, "about me and Brajaska? I was promised to him, and we were going to be married in the spring, and then a beautiful, very beautiful lady with a great deal of money took him away. She will marry him. Brajaska has said so." Drew's first feeling was for the unfortunate Magda. This feeling was followed by one of anger at Brajaska, who had the insolence to desert a woman of his own class and because of his good looks win the affection of another woman of his class. Drew remained at the boarding house a week, each day growing more and more acquainted with the sorrowful little Magda. The last day of his vacation was to be the day of the excursion and Drew had seen that Magda had refused the invitation of several of the younger men to go with them. Then he asked her to go with him. She looked away from him shyly. "No," she said. "It would not be right. I am promised to Alec—" "But don't you see, Magda," said Drew with more feeling than he usually showed. "perhaps if you go with me and are very happy and I seem to be very fond of you—perhaps Brajaska will be jealous. We are all made that way, we men." "But the rich lady will be with him," said Magda. "He will have no eyes for anyone else. I could never stand it." However, Drew was able to persuade her that a little skillful acting might bring back Brajaska's affections. She was very pretty, Drew told her, even if the other lady was beautiful. It was a gay assemblage that met in the woods, and although Magda's heart was heavy the sound of the music and the festivity brought the light into her eyes and the color to her cheeks. She laughed and needed little artifice to disguise the true feelings of her heart. Brajaska and Katherine had been watched by their associates more closely than Katherine enjoyed. She was very beautiful, Drew thought, in comparison with their simple, stolid peasant women. He had never before realized how beautiful she was. He was alone for a minute. Magda had gone off to take part in some contest. He was surprised to see Katherine standing alone at his side, her eyes flashing and the color high in her face. "Professor Drew," she said distantly. "I am surprised. I never thought it of you." "Never thought what, Katherine?" he asked, feeling somehow that what he had come to the excursion for had begun to happen. "I never thought that you would come to one of these affairs with a Hungarian woman. Don't you suppose that it will get back to father and the college?" "What about yourself?" asked Drew. "That's quite different. Every one knows about Brajaska and me. And you are just trifling with these people. It is quite different." "How do you know I am trifling?" asked Drew, feeling the charm of her beauty now that she was angry. "Perhaps I am as serious as you are." "You, you don't mean—it isn't that little Magda creature?" "I wonder how serious you are, Katherine," he said. "Do you really mean that you are going to marry Brajaska?" "Oh. no, I couldn't do that quite. But Brajaska is wonderful. He has so much more spirit than any other man I ever knew." "But suppose you were to find that the men of your own class had more spirit than you thought? Suppose that I were to tell you and prove to you, Katherine, that I had more spirit than to let you throw yourself away on a person like Brajaska, that I had feeling enough to fight for you. Suppose I were to tell you that I have been following you and watching you for the whole winter and that for a week I have been living with Brajaska just to find out for myself whether you and he were really capable of being happy together?" "But what about Magda?" Katherine's feaulousity was still uppermost. "That little Magda," said Drew, "is going to marry Brajaska if you have the good sense to let him alone. You have been behaving like a child, but I love you." Katherine looked him in surprise, her breath coming fast. * * * * * * * * * At sundown Brajaska took Magda home to the little boarding house, and Magda had forgotten all about the long months of her unhappiness, so happy was she to rest her head on his broad shoulders and feel that after all they were promised to each other and would soon be married. "But Brajaska," said Magda, suddenly remembering that the kind-hearted boarder who had gone to the excursion with her had not returned, "where is the new boarder? He was a good friend of mine." "The new boarder. I will tell you about him some time," replied Brajaska. "We had a long talk last night. He and I are always going to be friends. He is a man, like ourselves with great feelings, but he knows, as I do, that to be happy, one must love a woman of his own class." (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) GARLIC GIVEN HIGH PRAISE Invaluable as a Remedy for Many Diseases, According to Man Who Professes to Know. Garlic is one of the most wholesome herbs that can be eaten. It stimulates all secretions and its effect is strong upon the liver and kidneys. A teaspoonful of garlic juice and sugar will generally ward off an oncoming cold. Garlic eaters have good skins, for garlic is excellent in treating eruptions of all sorts. Those races that use much garlic in their food are those that are least susceptible to tuberculosis. Many doctors in Europe treat tuberculosis with garlic, giving it internally in the form of a sirup, externally in the form of poultices, or making their patients inhale an infusion. The essential principle of garlic, that which acts upon the system, is allyl sulphide. This also causes the characteristic—and to many persons disagreeable—smell.—Exchange. Placed. "So you're looking for a job in the chorus, eh?" BOARD RAISES VALUES INCREASE OF $55,000,000 ORDERED ON DENVER PROPERTY. Colorado Tax Commission Recommends Changes in Forty-Five Counties Under New Denver.—The valuation of taxable property in Colorado this year will be within a few million dollars of last year, according to the State Tax Commission. In view of the fact that the valuation of Denver shows a decrease of approximately $37,000,000, this will mean an improved showing by the other counties of the state. The total valuation last year was $1,306,000,000. The only two large increases ordered by the state commission are for Denver, $55,408,990, and Weld county, $7,804,000. Increases in about forty-five counties were recommended to the various county boards by the tax commission. In most counties the raises suggested are comparatively slight ones. Those in Denver and Weld counties are the largest. The recommendations were made under the amendment to the state constitution adopted by the people at the last state election, which is now in effect for the first time. It allows the county boards of equalization to equalize the assessments as made by the local assessor without regard to the effect on the aggregate valuation. Inheritance Tax Collections $9,187. Denver.—During the month of September $9,187 in inheritance taxes were collected by Leslie E. Hubbard, state inheritance tax appraiser. The largest individual sum turned into the state treasury was $3,714 tax on the estate of Philip A. Potter of Denver. Other sums were as follows Ida F. French, Denver $ 5,782.12 $ 40.75 Miles Jain, Denver $ 18,690.00 $ 146.22 Leonard L. Redfield, Denver $ 9,544.00 $ 50.44 Catherine V. Pardee, Denver $ 17,009.00 $ 22.32 Gregory B. E. Silvy, Denver $ 19,720.16 $ 465.08 Mary E. Wasson, New York $ 3,768.37 $ 76.32 Ida M. Park, (Jones) Denver $ 20,840.37 $ 228.96 Joseph C. Heim, Denver $ 77,579.50 $ 1,126.94 Philip A. Potter, Denver $ 99,615.62 $ 3,714.60 David W. Dryden, Denver $ 73,855.48 $ 653.23 Andrew J. Mackey, Boulder $ 249,985.00 $ 1,706.32 Daniel W. Wilpert, Adams $ 25,885.00 $ 371.70 William Douglas, Denver $ 32,290.65 $ 84.00 Hannah S. Queen, Denver $ 25,618.00 $ 61.64 Bertha W. Mather, Denver $ 3,200.00 $ 28.50 Tax $ 8,777.03 Examination and waiver fees $ 410.00 Total collections $ 9,187.03 Governor Cancels Trip to Seattle. Denver.—Governor Carlson canceled his trip to the adjourned conference of western governors at Seattle. Pressure of important state affairs was given as the reason. He had previously abandoned his trip to the irrigation congress at Sacramento. This conference, which met three months ago to outline western legislation for submission to Congress, planned to draw up a unanimous program. Governor Carlson has specially interested himself in proposed revision of the power site laws. The military board entanglements, the Risley hearing, the important decisions pending before the Supreme Court in regard to civil service and the Lawson case, were among the chief circumstances that decided him to cancel his Seattle appointment. $1,000 Fine Against Corporations. Denver.—For the first time in the history of the office of the district attorney informations against corporations behind in the payment of the corporation tax and in returning their yearly report to the secretary of state will be drawn up. The informations will lay the negligent corporations liable to a fine of $1,000 each, unless the yearly statements and taxes are paid at once, according to District Attorney Rush. Only $20,000 at the utmost could be collected, according to calculations made by Mr. Rush, inasmuch as only 200 out of the 1,000 listed corporations are operating at the present time. Declares 800 Concerns Defunct. Denver.—More than 800 corporations doing business in the state of Colorado have been declared defunct and inoperative by Secretary of State Ramer, owing to their failure to file annual reports and pay the flat tax prescribed by the law passed in 1913. Rockefeller's Agent Returns. Denver.—MecKenzie King, labor investigator for the Rockefeller foundation, returned to Denver. Mr. King, who first came to Denver last spring, has been away from the city over two months. Denver.—Attorney General Farrar will begin suit against the county of Arapahoe for the recovery of $16,816.50 which the state claims as its share of the taxes on the estate of the late Thomas F. Walsh for the years 1907, 1908 and 1909. A judgment for $78,333 was obtained by the county against the estate, but, the state charges, the county commissioners settled for $24,500. It did not turn over to the state any part of the tax. The state refuses to recognize the settlement. PEACH DAINTIES OF MERIT Many Ways of Preparing Fruit Which All Appreciate for Its Perfect Flavor. For peach cobbler, prepare plain pastry from three pints of flour and three-fourths of a pound of mixed lard and butter. Line the baking dish with this and pour in two quarts of freshly stewed peaches, covering the dish with a pastry lid, pierced here and there to let out steam. Bake until brown and then cover thickly with powdered sugar and serve steaming hot with rich cream. Here is another peach pie recipe: Bake a rich pastry crust until brown and crisp and then cool. Just at serving time heap it high with sliced peaches, sprinkle with sugar and pile whipped cream on top. A variation of this recipe is this: Cut short pastry into squares and fold the four corners to the center. Moisten them with milk, press them down so that they will remain in place, prick the pastry with a fork and bake one square for each person. Brown in the oven, chill and serve piled high with peaches cut into large pieces, stewed just until tender and sweetened to taste. Top with a big spoonful of whipped cream Still another peach pie, the favorite of a very good cook, is this: Sift together a cupful and a half of flour, a quarter of a cupful of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Into this cut half a cupful of butter and add enough milk to make a stiff batter. Use as little milk as possible. Roll into a thick sheet, line a deep pie pan with it and slice peaches into it. Sweeten them well and cover them with sour or sweet milk, then bake until done in a moderate oven. A tempting dessert is peach whip. To make it press ripe peaches through a vegetable press, sweeten to taste and mix immediately with whipped cream or whipped egg whites. Pile in tall glasses and serve very cold. Another tempting dessert is a peach sandwich, one for each person Slice a stale sponge cake and dip the slices quickly in milk. Then brown in butter. Between each two slices pile freshly sliced, sweetened peaches and pile on whipped cream. METHOD OF PICKLING ONIONS Writer Makes Some Suggestions Which Seem To Be Worthy of Consideration. Peeling the onions is a decidedly painful task, but it is made less so if they are done in cold water. Some people even put them in boiling water and allow them to come to the boil before peeling them. I prefer the former plan. With small silver pickling onions to each quart of vinegar allow two tablespoonfuls of black peppercorns, two teaspoonfuls of allspice, two level teaspoonfuls of salt, two bay leaves. Remove the outer skin with a silver knife; if a steel one is used the onions will turn black. If liked, peel them in a basin of cold water, for, besides making the operation less painful, it helps to whiten them by removing some of the essential oil. Dry them lightly in a cloth. Put the vinegar, spices and bay leaves in a saucepan, boil them until the vinegar is well flavored, and let it get cold. Put the onions in jars or wide-necked bottle, fill them up with the vinegar, adding a little spice to each bottle. Cork down tightly. They will be ready for use in about a month.—Boston Globe. Barley Water With Jelly Place two ounces of pearl barley with very little water in a saucepan, and when warm pour this off and add a quart of fresh water and simmer gently for three-quarters of an hour. Strain through a muslin and add three tablespoonfuls of red currant jelly; allow to cool and serve. Other flavorings in the form of raspberry vinegar, crabapple jelly, or black currant jelly may be added. Orange rind and juice may also be added as a change. Apple and Suet Pudding. Two cupfuls of chopped apples, two cupfuls of chopped raisins, one cupful of sour milk, one cupful of molasses, one cupful of suet and flour enough to make a stiff batter. Begin by putting one teaspoonful of soda in the milk, then add a little grated nutmeg and cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Stir the suet into this mixture and then put in the flour a small quantity at a time. Boil tied up in muslin. Chocolate Pie. Put one and a half cupfuls milk on stove to heat. When hot thicken with following mixture: Well-beaten yolks of two eggs, half cupful sugar, two level tablespoonfuls corn starch, one tablespoonful cocoa, a pinch of salt, half cupful milk. When cool flavor with vanilla, put in pie shell, cover with a frosting made of the whites of the eggs and one tablespoonful of sugar. Brown in oven. Imitation Egcnog. Thoroughly beat up an egg with a slack teaspoonful of sugar—doing this in the glass in which the "nog" is to be served. Then fill the glass with hot milk and grate nutmeg on top. This is very nourishing and almost always inviting to the children, who at times take a distaste for solid foode. Basket Salad. Remove seeds and membranes from green peppers, cut in form of baskets. Fill with chopped wax beans, cubes of red beets and stuffed olives. Use your favorite salad dressing. ERNEST HOWARD. ERNEST HOWARD. Carpenter, Job and Repair Work. Coal, Wood and Express.

Shiftlessness is a common charge hanging over the heads of a certain portion of the colored population, and that charge is true altogether too often. Thoughtlessness shares largely in this condition. Providing for the needs of a coming season is a principle too little appreciated by us. There is always a coal famine in certain households when the dead of winter makes suffering sure. With a little forethought, a little energy and a little sacrifice of foolish, frivolous pleasures when the weather is warm, a fairly adequate supply of coal might be laid in when prices are low. Even one ton ahead would be an advantage, and three or four tons would put the shivers out of sight. Make a weekly deposit with some reliable coal company, if you can't save otherwise, and see what a comfortable investment it will be. There is talk of coal shortage the coming winter. Such a thing is possible at any time, but not with those who prepare beforehand. Stock up! MUTUAL AID. The Colorado Statesman wants the advertisement of every Negro business enterprise, professional or commercial establishment, rooming and boarding house, and every hall, lodge and organization in Denver. We want these not alone for our own financial benefit, but because their appearance in this newspaper will pay the advertisers and at the same time be a source of help to Denver. This newspaper goes to many far-away sections and is read by many people contemplating the West as a place of residence and who seek a reflection of the business character of Denver in our columns. Denver is the Mecca of all travelers to the West, and many of them acquaint themselves with our business people through us. The value of letting the home community know you is thus greatly enhanced to your credit. Talk it over with the manager. THE NEGROES IN THE CITIES. This paper has spoken before of the congestion of colored youth in the cities. It makes the city a problem and the race uplift a deeper problem; the intellectual, industrial, moral, physicial and spiritual advancement a bigger problem still. Cities have always been both the despair and hope of every great prophet and reformer. Little, perhaps, as we think, it was Cain, a murderer, a fugitive and a vagabond for whom the earth (land or country) refused to yield her strength that built the first city, and it seems that this class of persons has inhabited the cities ever since. Cities are often built for and named after men and usually take on the characteristic of their founders. The first city ever built (Enoch) was the beginning of barter and polygamy and so it has ever been. Babel was an attempt to take the kingdom of heaven by force. Sodom and Gomorrah did not possess ten righteous persons to save them. Babylon has become the synonym for iniquity. Nineveh merited the invective of an entire prophetic book of the Bible. Of imperial Rome, the historian Horace said: "O! venal city, destined soon to perish." Of London Carlyle said, "What a fermenting vat lies hidden in a great city." But we will not continue to multiply instances of the dangers, crime and sufferings of the city. Few have studied the city problems. If members of the race would make the city, its conditions and pitfalls a study, we might be able to do something worth while for our young men. The Colorado Statesman is but a voice, a single voice; it cannot do all. We can only point the way. Good men and women, literary societies, lodges and the Church must co-operate if we are going to save the race in the city. We are not alarmists or calamity howlers, but we simply proclaim that our city youths are doomed unless a change is effected some way. What do you suggest? WHITE FUNERAL NOTED NEGRO Fraternity House, at the Delaware College, in Newark, the membership of which consists of well known Delewareans. After his death last week it was found he had left his money to E. E. Shallcross, a member of the fraternity, and he also left a provision that he be buried above the ground. Continued from First Page mised what the note contained, so he gave another boy about his age a jackknife to deliver it. The other boy entered into the bargain and was painfully surprised when he received the lashes which were intended for Hall. An attempt was made to secure a lot in a white cemetery to bury Hall, but this was found to be impossible, so, an entire lot was secured in Cooper's Cemetery, a colored burial ground, and his grave was dug in the center of it. An immense slate vault was erected, extending two feet in the ground, and the remainder above the surface, and into the vault Hall's casket will be placed tomorrow afternoon, and it will be sealed up with cement The pall-bearers will consist of members of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity and the services will be conducted by Rev. Benjamin F. Thompson, rector of Christ P. E. Church, of Dover, one of the most exclusive churches in the county. Later Hall was taken into the family of the late A. B. Richardson father of formen United States Senator H. A. Richardson, of Dover, who at that time owned the Richardson House, the leading hotel of Kent County. Hall soon made himself a very valuable asset about the hotel, and some years later made manager, taking sole charge of the hostelry for months at a time during the absence of Mr. Richardson. Hall was left a considerable sum of money when Mr. Richardson died, and some time ago be became manager of the Kappa Alpha The relation of law and mercy is not only co-operative but complemental. Indeed, mercy is the mother of all law, the foundation of the principle of jurisprudence, the pillar of all leg- islation. It is commonly assumed that mercy is the antithesis of justice. The notion prevails that justice and mercy are self-excluding terms. It is held that justice is deaf against the pleadings of mercy and that she has no place at the bar of justice. Nothing is further from fact. On the contrary, mercy and justice are closely related, inseparably intertwined with one another. Justice and Mercy are twin sisters, raised by the same mother, Truth. There can be no justice unless dealt out by the hand of mercy. And mercy is but a sickening sentimentality unless she be conceived in justice. The law of today is executed not in a spirit of vengeance, but of justice; not as a punitive measure, but for the sake of correction; not for revenge, but to reform; not as a retaliation, but as one would treat a sick person. For modern law of justice is based upon mercy. We have come to recognize that the average criminal is suffering from some physical or mental defect, and as such should be an object of pity rather than cruel punishment. The modern prison should be a hospital, where such "patients" should be treated and possibly cured and restored to a normal condition. The court of justice is a laboratory, the judge the kindly physician who administers the bitter "medicine" which may cure the patient. Nay, justice and mercy are not antithetic, self-excluding terms. They are, on the contrary, inseparable. It is mercy that administers justice. It is justice which embraces mercy. Outdoor Hobbies Give Health and Strength By E. W. HARRIS, Evanston, Ill. Nearly everyone has a hobby, and those who haven't miss lots of fun. This season of the year is a good time to form some outdoor hobby, something that will take one into the open. Aside from such sports as baseball, tennis and golf, there are any number of hobbies which will take those who ride them into the world of sunlight and fresh air. There are the botanizing hobby, the geologizing hobby, the entomological hobby, the swimming hobby, the yachting hobby and many more, and for the man who cannot afford any of these, although some of them are quite inexpensive, there is the plain walking hobby, as good as any and requiring only a pair of legs for its indulgence. Many men have hobbies that demand an indoor, even a sedentary life. These are all right in their time and place, but their time and place are in the seasons of inclement weather. For those who have such indoor hobbies it can only be recommended that they abate them for a time and add another hobby to their list, one which will take them among the trees and plants. They will draw rich dividends in health and strength from this added hobby. War Makes Many Changes in Language By C. Parnell Stewart, London, Eng. Language, like almost everything else, is unable to escape from being conditioned and modified by war. Half our best metaphors are taken from war as it used to be, and we still talk of nations "faking the sword," though that is just what they never do, when "moving the howitzer" would be vastly more appropriate. Modern artillery has forced us to make a verb out of a noun and to permit our gunners to "shell" a place in defiance of all conceivable rules of grammar. We have forced "offensive" and "objective" to do duty as nouns in spite of the fact that they are plain and indubitable adjectives, and we freely "bombard," though it would be quite as reasonable for a pillow fighter to say he "pillowed." Perhaps the most curious thing in this connection is the way in which we have been driven back upon the old verb "flee." Before the era of the Zeppelin and the aeroplane we should correctly have said "The German fleet 'flies' before the British;" now we say it "flees," because "flying" seems to connote motion above the surface of the earth. There are a hundred subtle differences of this sort to which war has impelled us, and from which the most pedantic purist is totally unable to escape. More Eating of Mutton Is Urged By H. A. ZEIGLER, Sydney, Australia If the American people will eat more mutton they will find that the price of beef will go lower. The raising of sheep for mutton has not been practiced to a great extent in the United States, for the good reason that Americans have not been mutton eaters. I learn that only 4 per cent of the meat used in American homes is mutton or lamb, while in the United Kingdom the average is 22 per cent, and in France 11 per cent. The production of sheep in the United States, as in other countries, has decreased in the last few years. We have in America more than 10,000,000 fewer sheep today than we had five years ago, the number at this time, I understand, being not more than 53,000,000. Australia has less than 85,000,000 sheep, as compared with 93,000,000 four years ago. If our farmers will give more attention to the raising of sheep for mutton, they will find that they are quite as profitable as cattle, and, of course, serve a double purpose. Women Doctors May Make Good Living By Helene Wood Storey, Nassau, N.Y. The medical profession is not exactly a bed of roses. We have all seen graduates of the medical schools striving in vain to obtain a foot-hold as doctors or forced to eke out a scanty living by any medical or semimedical job they could get. Those who do succeed have a life of irregular hours and hard work—a life which requires the greatest tact and patience as well as medical science. If women have succeeded in entering the profession and do make a good living and honorable careers out of the legitimate practice of medicine, their ability is certainly well proved. Biologically they may be unfit, but practically they meet the situation. After all, is it not time to stop theorizing about the fitness of the sexes for this or that? If the test can be applied successfully to either women or men prejudice should be forgotten. We need the genius to blaze the trail in medicine, but we also need the steady, capable practitioner and public hygiene adviser.

So far this year Mr. Ramer has collected $120,000, as against $80,000 for the entire year of 1914.

The week has been one of unusual interest with the chureh. Special men- tion must be made of the debate of last Wednesday night, “Resolved, That County Life Is More Conducive to Good Citizenship Than City Life. Mr. George Gross and Mr, T. C. Mason, respectively, opened the subject for discussion in a fifteen-minute address, Weighty arguments pro and con were advanced by the Rey. Lionel B. West, Messrs, Wilfred Brickler, Willis Ey: vans. A well-spent hour to the profit of the appreciative audience may well be regarded. Mayor Sharpley, one of the members of the board of judges, the others being Mrs. Laura Hill and Mr, Cammel of the undertaking es- tablishment, favored the audience with healthy remarks on the subject discussed. The board of judges ren: dered their verdict in favor of the “country life.” It is hoped that a gathering of men and women foremost in thought like that gathered last Wednesday night at the debate will form a neucles for similar sessions at this place during the winter months, We believe the information and inspiration gained from such will be worth while, Last Monday night a surprise party, given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Lou Hughes, 2356 Glenarm ‘place, by Mrs, Lily Hughes, Miss Hazel Dyer, Miss Bessie White, ete., in honor of Miss Samira Harris, who leaves the city for Spilman within the next few days, took place.

Neither discloses nationality. These terms have no place in the science of anthropology. But their persistent use with reference to persons of African descent invites attention. The white man tried to make a brute out of the black man. To this end the slave power put the cause of slavery in the slave himself. "The cause, dear Brutus, that we are underlings, is not in our stars but in ourselves." Everything was done to destroy the nationality and hinder the growth of individuality in the captive African. He was called "Negro" to characterize his kind and condition. The word "Negro" then became the trade mark of slavery. It is now a term of contempt. It is so written and spoken. This opprobrious epithet should have been taken away with the bondage and not allowed to remain the deadly weapon of the sycophant and the exploiter. It is the strongest barrier to the investiture with citizenship of the African dwelling in America, whose long domicile, fidelity and toll have given him an incontestable title to the most honorable distinction of American citizenship, writes Charles Hatfield Dickerson in the Chicago News. Also "colored people" in the public mind are nondescripts. None of these names is respectable. Let them be abhorred. Let us all have the good and proper name and patronymic "African," "of African descent" and "black," if you please. For I behold the time when black skin will be as fashionable as black cloth and as valuable as sable. There are those whose ignorance of the glory and grandeur of Africa makes them ashamed of their mother country. But I have sought and found her the workshop of nature, the cradle of man, the undoubted source of the civilization of the whole world. Of this I am confident. Plato thanked God that he was a man; that he was a citizen of Athens; lived in the age of Pericles; had the friendship of Socrates. So do I thank God that I am a man, conscious of the high destiny of man, clambering with my fellows up the cloudy summits of our times; am a citizen of this great republic; live in the world of Chicago; in the reign of Woodrow Wilson, a man of philosophic mind, who has lingered with the muses, learned and written the grand march of the American people and presides over their destiny with dignity and grace. And I am proud to live in the era of Theodore Roosevelt, a man of great amplitude of mind and vigor of body, who has traversed the globe, enlarged our intellectual empire and has now become the ubiquitous political genius of the republic. There is a well authenticated case of a Negro who was once as black as the ace of spades but whose skin all over his body is now a pinkish white with the exception of a few pinpoint specks on his face, and these are disappearing also. It is one of the rare cases known to medical science and dermatology where the affection known to physicians as "leukoderma" is universal. The man is Adolphus Setzer, an ex-slave of Newton, N. C., where he was born and reared. He belonged to the large estate of the late Reuben Setzer, who owned much land and many Negroes before the war between the states. Up to the time Setzer was forty years old his skin was Midway between the sandy beach at Ocean View, on the southern side of Hampton Roads, and Norfolk, a rapidly growing southern metropolis, there has been developed, in the heart of a rich farm-trucking region, an attractive Negro community, called Titustown, in which all of the people own their own homes and not a single renter is found. In Titustown Negroes have had the opportunity of buying high-class property at a low price, building comfortable and attractive individual houses on easy terms, and living happy lives in a refined and attractive community. It was in 1901 that a commission of ten or a dozen colored men came to Augustus T. Stroud, a white lawyer of Norfolk, who had recently graduated from college. They asked that some land should be bought and resold to Negroes for home sites. The Negroes had heard the summons "Move on" and sought the good offices of a southern white man whose family had long had a deep interest in the welfare of Negroes. The most remarkable relief map in the world is in a public park in Guatemala City. It is of immense proportions and represents with minute details all the physical characteristics of the republic. Tiny steel bands represent the railroad systems, and water can be turned into all the river beds. The maker died of brain fever not long ago, after completing his work. When a man is caught with stolen fruit the other men stand around and criticize its quality. coal black. He is of pure African descent and nowhere in his family is there a trace of white blood. When he was about forty years of age, he contracted a most malignant case of malarial fever in Cabarrus county, North Carolina, and was brought home on a wagon, quite a distance, so that he might die with his family. Local physicians attended him and eventually he got well of the fever, but leukoderma made its appearance and during the last 40 years—he is now an octogenarian—the affection has gradually spread until today, with the exception noted, the entire surface of his skin is white with a pinkish tinge. Leukoderma is described in the books as a condition in which the pigment-forming tissues have lost their function of making and furnishing pigment to the skin. This is brought about by trophoneurosis and is often associated with neurotic disturbances. In short, it is due to the nerves, and in this case the nerves of the man became affected by the toxic poisons of the malarial attack. Leukoderma is not at all uncommon among the dark races and is particularly a disease of the tropics. Dermatologists have found many cases where the affection has attacked a portion of the skin surface, making what is known as "piebald" Negroes. But the cases in which this affection has become universal over a man's body are very rare, and this case is very interesting to specialists and the medical fraternity generally because of its rarity. "Uncle" Dolph, as he is called by white and black, has always been a respectful, respectable and respected Negro; has been industrious and raised a large family. He has good eyes and a good memory and can recall many incidents of slavery days and of the war. He helped build all the older buildings in the place and is the oldest citizen, white or black, who was here when the town began to take shape three-quarters of a century ago. I beg leave to suggest herewith that colored men be utilized to help man the navy. The Negro has proved himself loyal to "Old Glory" if anyone has, and he should be represented in the navy as well as in the army. If white sailors and marines should object to their company on board ship, why not allot certain ships to them as certain barracks are allotted to them in the army? The plan of nomenclature in the navy is to name battleships after states, cruisers after cities and gunboats after famous battle fields, but with the colored units a new system could be used. For instance, the government might turn over to the colored sailors such battleships as the Alabama and Mississippi or such cruisers as the Suwanee and the Dixie. Among the Negroes may be found plenty of good loyal material and I will wager that if they are called upon no one need ever blush for the record their ships may make.—H. T. Hughes, in the Chicago News. There are 24 Methodist Episcopal churches in the United States reporting a membership of more than 1,500 each.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP WASHINGTON.—Most persons are satisfied if they can locate a place where the ghost can be relied upon to walk once a week, but in New York a society that is devoted to psychical research is much more exorbitant in its of oldest inhabitants of the District of Columbia to please tell it of the existence of such a house, and in the letter the society mentions that it has heard that such a ghost rendezvous exists in a house "in Georgetown" and of another "near the navy yard." The country negroes of Georgetown and those who live near the navy yard have not been especially glad to hear this. They are digging up rabbit feet and rubbing them, they are burying newly pulled teeth with incantations, and, in short, using every ghost layer they know anything about. If this psychical research society wants ghosts, emphatically the Ethiopian Society of Pork Chop Destroyers doesn't want 'em.

But if the women started it, our place would be tabooed by the majority of our present class of patrons." "Do the women smoke much?" a maid who serves as an attendant in the ladies' lounging room of one of the popular cafes was asked. "There are plenty of them who smoke," she replied. "And they carry their smokes around with them all the time. But no one would know it. Their cigarette cases look just like vanity cases. You can't tell them apart on the outside. Why, just a few days ago a pretty young girl who had been dining in the cafe stopped in here to adjust her hair and powder her nose. She had on her wrist what I thought was a silver vanity case supported by a silver chain. But when she opened it, instead of taking out a powder puff, she extracted a gold-tipped cigarette and thrust it in her mouth. She offered the case to her young girl friend, and she took one, too. Then they both lighted up. Rather queer, wasn't it? But say, after all, can you tell me what is the difference between a woman smoking and a man smoking?" Weather Forecasts by the "Movie" and Wireless Weather Forecasts by the "Movie" and Wireless WEATHER forecasts which have been disseminated over the inland states of the country for years by means of the telegraph and the printing press are beginning to reach the people of this territory through brand-new who had them projected as an informative interlude between shows of comedy and tragedy. Since then the display of weather information on screens has spread to 15 cities and 27 theaters. Though the theaters do not open until six or seven o'clock in the evening, after the afternoon papers containing weather forecasts have been issued, it is believed that the information reaches many persons who would not otherwise receive it. Entirely independent of the "movie" weather reports, wireless is coming into use for spreading weather news on land after having already proved itself to be invaluable on water. Arrangements have been made to have forecasts for Illinois distributed by wireless from Illiopolis, in that state, to points within a radius of 125 miles that are equipped with the necessary receiving apparatus. It is proposed to send the messages at a slow rate in order that amateurs may take them, as most of the operators in reach of the sending station will be of this class.

The army engineers, who undoubtedly will be intrusted with the job, will be able to draw upon much valuable experience in their corps, for the design of the dam which is to impound the waters of the Potomac is practically the same as that of the Gatum spillway dam in the Canal zone. Like the isthmian prototype the Potomac dam will sweep across the space to be filled in an arc of a circle and will be surmounted by 18 gates which can be opened in time of flood. These gates will be designed so as to allow the passage of all surplus water even in such volumes as in 1889, when the highest known point was reached. Provision will also be made for the passage of ice through the gates, a problem which was not encountered in the Panama canal work. In addition to the main dam which will keep the lake at the 115-foot level, there will be an intake dam 119 feet high protecting the power house, which will lie within the District on the north side of the river.

FINDING HIS MATE By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY. 1 Caleb Andrews was a man of fifty. He was also a widower, and had decided to marry again, although his fourteen-year-old daughter was running the house very well. Caleb wasn't a rich man, but in deciding to marry again the question of property had no influence. He was one widower in a hundred about that. The widower had an appetite. He was born with it. It was an appetite that would have done credit to one of his work horses. He shoveled down the boiled dinners—the pork and beans—the fried pork and potatoes—the bread puddings, and two hours later he could eat just as much as if he had been all day without a meal. When Caleb got ready to look up a wife it was almost a question of: "Can she cook?" There might not be much love to start on, but as she cooked and cooked the love would grow and bloom and blossom until he would finally have to squint twice to make out whether she had wings or arms. Caleb didn't put up any surprise party on his three children when he had come to the conclusion to marry again. He sat down with his pipe after a hard day's work and a supper that would have made an ox groan with contentment and said: "Mary, I'm a hearty eater." "Yes, father." "Keeps you cooking most of the time." "Yes." "You orter have more schooling." "I think so." "But my appetite keeps you home and keeps you over the hot stove." "Yes, father." "Therefore, Mary—therefore—" "But you must have all you want to eat," said the girl as he hesitated. "Seems that way, but I've been thinking of late that if I could change fodder I wouldn't eat so much. You cook first rate, but it's allus the same things over and over. Now if a new hand was to come in there'd be a change in the dishes, eh?" "I guess they would, but whom can you hire?" "Nobody. Don't want to hire nobody 'tall.' "Then how—" "Get married ag'in. Get a wife to do the cooking. Get a wife who's got a twist of the wrist about billin' and bakin' and gettin' up new dishes. What ye think of it?" "It's for you to decide, father." "That's mighty nice of you, and you can count on getting some Santa Claus in your Christmas stockings." "Have you picked her out?" was timidly asked. "Only just kinder picked her out. I thought I'd tackle the widder Bliss first." "She's nice." "Yes, but can she cook? She's got to be nice and a mighty good cook besides. After I've eaten one meal in her house I can tell whether she'll fill the bill or not." "The Widow Bliss lived in the village three miles away. She was forty-five years old, and was weary of facing the troubles of life alone—some real good man—some man that would appreciate her many good qualities—why, why— No one must blame her or sneer at her. As we are told in Holy Writ, husbands' shall not know their wives in heaven, and wives shall not know their husbands. Therefore, it is better to get plenty of husbands and wives on earth. Caleb, the widower, loaded up five husbands of potatoes and hied him down to the Widow Bliss with them. They were a gift to her, and she made it plain that his generosity was duly appreciated. They became so interested in each other, and he had timed the hour so accurately, that she invited him to stay to supper. "That's it! Now I'll get a line on her cooking!" he said to himself after accepting the invitation. "Mighty nice little woman, but can she cook? Can she serve up 'taters in a new way? Are her pie-crusts short and flaky, or heavy and soggy? Can she make a cup of tea to curl the hair, or is there a taste of dishwater about it?" The widow won the gold medal with a bread pudding. It was baked in a dish half the size of a milk pan. Caleb's wife used to make what she called bread puddings, but they didn't hold a candle to this one. A still, small voice whispered to the widow that her visitor would eat that pudding to a standstill if given a chance, and she made the chance. It touched the spot. For the first time in years he shoved back from the table with his appetite perfectly satisfied. When ready to go he said: "Widder, you are a nice little woman!" "I'm glad you think so," she replied with a laugh. "I shall probably come around this way again." "And I shall always be glad to see you." The father went home and told his daughter what took place, and added, "Mighty nice widder and mighty nice bread pudding, but of course that don't settle it." "No?" "There's the Widder Cable. I've been told that she took a prize at the county fair for her preserves." "It was for her pickled peaches, fa- ther. We have no peaches, and so I never tried my hand at it." "Seems to be now that it's pickled peaches I sigh for. Seems as if I had a couple of dozen all at once I would take the edge off my appetite. Guess I'll load up with some green stuff in a day or two and drive down and see her." The Widow Cable must not be sneered at, either. She was nearly fifty years old, and had split her own wood, milked her own cows and built her own fires on hundreds of winter mornings since her good husband departed this life. She knew Mr. Andrews very well, and if she had wondered why he didn't take a second wife that was no crime on her part. She simply blushed and picked up things and straightened the chairs back when she caught sight of him driving up, and had time to say to herself before he came in: "My stars, it's the Widower Andrews, and lands only knows why he has come!" "I've brung you some beets and squashes and onions, widder," said Caleb as he came in. "Then you are a dear, good man. You know I've no garden." "Can't no lone woman do much with a garden." "You are right they can't." Caleb was not invited to stay to supper, but, what was just as good, he was asked to sit down to bread and butter and pickled peaches. A still, small voice whispered to the Widow Cable as she was down cellar getting the peaches that she had better get an abundance of them while about it, and she lifted 23 big, rareipes out of their bath before she halted. "Same as you took the prize with?" asked the widower as his mouth watered at sight of the peaches. "Pickled after the same recipe. I hope you will like them." He did. When he was through there were 23 peach pies lying on his plate as living proofs that he liked pickled peaches. The edge had been quite taken off his appetite. "Widder Cable, I think of getttn married agin," he said, as he shoved back. "Dear me, but I don't blame you one single bit," she replied, as she twisted her apron in delightful embarrassment. "I may call again." "I'd be happy to have you." Before Caleb got home the "influence" of those pickled peaches had quite worn off, and he said to his daughter: "Mary, the Widder Cable is a nice woman, and them pickled peaches would make a man kiss his grandmother for awhile. I'm a heap hungrier now than before I ate 'em. I've got to try another widder." "Wall, there's the Widder Ransom. They say she makes a cup of tea that's about as good as a drink of whisky for a man. Mebbe that's what I need to take the edge off my appetite. I reckon I'll drop in on her!" He dropped. He didn't get supper, but he got a cup of that celebrated tea, not one cup, but four! Then he was ready to say: "Widder, I can't see how you have remained a widder, makin' such tea as you do." "They do say I know how to make tea better than I know how to make soft soap," she replied. "Yum! Yum! Widder, I may call again." But he never called again on any one of the three widows. He had the misfortune to break his leg, and to help his daughter nurse him they secured the services of an old maid. On the first morning she came he complained of a goneness, and she made him a platter of hash. An hour after he had downed it he said: "That hash was what I had been looking for for ten long years. It has made a new man of me. I want you for my wife!" "Just on account of the hash?" she asked. "Nay. The hash has just happened to be first, but later will follow." (Copyright.) NO MYSTERY ABOUT THAT Comedian Found It Easy to recognize the "Handwriting" of His Manager. Mr. S——, the theatrical manager, though in other respects a thorough business man, could neither read nor write, but kept a private secretary, who had strict injunctions not to betray the secret. One day the manager was dining at his hotel, when a gold watch was raffled for. Each of the guests staked two shillings, wrote his name on a scrap of paper and threw it into a hat. Our manager was dreadfully perplexed when his turn came to sign his name. However, in order not to expose himself, he pretended to write, rolled up the blank piece of paper and threw it into the hat along with the rest. As chance would have it, this very paper was drawn. Great was the astonishment when it was found to be blank. But B—, the low comedian, who was present, asked to have it shown to him, and whe he had examined it carefully, he gravely exclaimed: "That is our manager's handwriting. I should know it among a thousand!" —London Mail. "Yes; what do they put in an ice box to make it strong?" "Onions. I believe." German Iron Crosses Being Made in Syracuse SYRACUSE, N. Y.—Who ever dreamed that the iron cross, the Prussian military decoration instituted by Frederick William III, the fond dream of each Prussian soldier who rushed toward death in 1870, and the reward which The manufacturer of iron crosses sat in his office when the newspaper man was ushered in. "Is it true, Mr. Stearns, that you are manufacturing iron crosses for the kaiser?" was the first question. "No, it is not true," he replied, with an almost imperceptible suggestion of reservation in his tone. "It's simply a joke, then, this story about your having given them to your friends?" "Well," Mr. Stearns replied, "it's not a joke. I said I was not making them for the kaiser." "Where are they being shipped, do you mind telling?" was the next question. "Why, we're shipping them to Milwaukee, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and other cities where there are large German colonies," Mr. Stearns replied. Then he killed the "story" with a minimum of pain. "From the correspondence we've had," he added, "I believe they go to German societies, and they distribute them among their members for paperweights and the like." The Stearns iron cross is just twice as large as the kaiser's iron cross, but otherwise it is an exact duplicate, even to the cryptic markings on the reverse side.

Pet Monkey Puts a Chicago Burglar to Flight Pet Monkey Puts a Chicago Burglar to Flight CHICAGO.—A burglar who attempted to enter the residence of George Wessling, 3912 North Hoyne avenue, was given a warm reception by a pet monkey belonging to Con Fredericks, a brother-in-law of Mr. Wessling. The street the burglar escaped. Like all other simians, this one is named Jocko. It is a native of Brazil. Fredericks bought it a year ago at Sao Paulo. He brought it to England, landing at Liverpool after a voyage of three weeks. While in England the monkey visited several of the British training camps. Soldiers at Aldershot and Southampton tried to purchase Jocko, but Fredericks would not part with the pet. "I was awakened by Jacko running around the bedroom and firing things at the window," said Fredericks. "He first hurled one shoe which went through the window, the screen being raised. The burglar dropped from the window sill to the roof of the porch and made his getaway. "But Jocko kept right on firing things until I sprang from bed. His chattering was enough to frighten a burglar to death. If I had not got up as quick as I did my trousers and other articles of wearing apparel would have gone through the window."

COLORADO A Chance Investment By Walter Joseph Delancy (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) "I do not wish you to become alarmed or change your plans," wrote the father of Eleanor Gwynne to his only daughter, two thousand miles away from home. "I tell you of the possible trouble in my business only because you might hear of it through other sources. I may be able to weather through. If not, it means our living on a more moderate scale, that is all. You still have the income from your mother's estate, so we cannot exactly starve." "Poor, dear papa! and always thinking of my comfort and happiness!" mused Eleanor with some agitation. "Of course I shall not remain here—with him alone with his trouble. No, there is a stage Monday and it will see me homeward bound." How different this, her second visit from the first she had made to the pine-laden breezes and exquisite solitude of an Arizona health resort! The year previous at exactly this same season of the year she and her father had spent three weeks together at this romantic spot. Only, then everything was prospering, there were no cares of business to annoy. Eleanor folded the letter, when she noticed some additional lines, comprising a postscript, on the reverse side of the sheet. "By the way," it ran, "it is a forlorn hope, but I mention it—that scamp, Warren Brill! I don't know if you remember him, but he is that likely looking young fellow who acted as our guide for a time. I never told you, but I was so taken with his manliness and energy that I was induced by him to trust him with five thousand dollars to buy a mine. He asked a year in which to develop it and make us both rich. I have never heard from him since, but a few months ago I wrote to some people at Croftutt Pass about him. They could tell me nothing about Brill, but said that the mine he purchased, or pretended to purchase, was abandoned because it was flooded and absolutely worthless. It is a vain quest. I imagine, but you might make some inquiries and let me know the result. A The Squaw Produced a Keen-Bladed Knife. "That five thousand dollars would pretty nearly mean my business salvation just now." There was a certain animation in the eyes of the pretty girl as she read these lines. These were not needed to at once invoke a remembrance of the person they named. Eleanor retained a vivid memory of the bright, gentlemanly young fellow who had been their companion for nearly a week. He was musical, educated, in harmony with their ideas of courtesy and refinement and had left a distinctly pleasing impression on the mind of Eleanor. She was astounded at the implication of dishonesty made by her father. She had regarded Brill as the soul of honor. More than once in gay frivolous social circles she had compared her flippant admirers with this model young westerner, and not to his disadvantage. That evening Eleanor made inquiries at a tourist hotel as to Brill. He was remembered, but had dropped out of sight months since, she was informed. "There was a great friend of his named Savage," advised the landlady. "I think he is a clerk or something at the mail station." There Eleanor went the next morning. It was to locate this Savage, a young man, a cripple, whose eyes brightened and whose face glowed at the mention of a name evidently cherished. "Mr. Brill is across the range somewhere near inca," he said, and then he burst forth into extravagant eologies concerning the man he designated as his best friend. It appeared that Brill had saved his life in a great freshet disaster and had secured him his present position. The landady, when Eleanor began to make inquiries regarding the route over the range, seriously advised her not to make the journey alone. "You should not attempt it, unprotected," she warned Eleanor. "The country is wild and infested with vicious half-breeds and even outaws," but Eleanor was fearless and willful. She equipped herself in stanch walking trim, and noontide saw her passing down a lonely mountain gully and recognizing marks in the landscape described to her which indicated that she was nearing Croffutt pass. Suddenly, turning past a dense thicket she recoiled with a start as a tawny-skinned woman darted directly in front of her. The stranger, a half-breed squaw, was slovenly, half-intoxicated and vicious looking. Her eyes glowed as she made out the small netted hand, bag suspended from the belt that Eleanor wore. She thrust out her hand, seized it and tore it loose. Eleanor put out a detaining hand, for the bag contained some money and valuable jewelry. The squaw produced a keen bladed knife and showed her teeth. Then she quickly uncoiled a stort lariat from her waist. Eleanor read her purpose, to bind her hand and foot and leave her helpless while she fled safely with her spoils. Eleanor sought to defend herself. She stooped suddenly, in the path, swung it around and swept her despoiler off her feet. With an angry snarl the squaw regained her feet, but Eleanor fled precipitately. She fancied she heard a masculine voice shouting out after her, but she feared an accomplice of the squaw and terror lent fleetness to her actions. Eleanor deviated from the gully, seeking shelter in rushing up a side path. At the top she paused breathless. A view of the spot where she had been robbed was now shut out from her view. Eleanor made out a cabin, its door open. She rushed through the aperture and sank to a chair in a rudely furnished room, nearly at the point of fainting. Her eyes opened wide as, wandering about the room, they fell upon a picture on a stand. It was her own. Near to it was a tiny vase and in this, as if replaced fresh every morning was a mountain daisy, her favorite flower. She recalled having her picture taken the year before in this very district by a traveling photographer. Was this one printed from the same negative? Lost in anger, half-guessing the truth, she started up as a stalwart form crossed the threshold. It was "that scamp," Warren Brill! He greeted her with manifest repression and respect. She wondered if Fate was in all this, as he told of witnessing the robbery, of recovering the booty from the squaw. "I found this on the ground," he explained, and he handed Eleanor with the handbag the letter she had received from her father the day previous. There was a queer twinkle in his eye. She flushed deeply. "It is just a year lacking three days since your father loaned me the money to purchase the old mine, Miss Wynne," he said. "It turned out a heartless swindle, but my defeat urged me up to new efforts to make amends to my generous backer. I struck a new rich prospect. See," and he exhibited receipts from the branch mint for over fifty thousand dollars. Brill saw her safely back to town. He saw her, too, every day after that during her stay. Then, the last evening but one, he told his love. "Dear papa," spoke Eleanor, home- returned a week later, after their greetings were over, "you asked me to find 'that scamp,' Warren Brill, for you." "Yes, Eleanor." "Well, I have brought him with me to explain all about his terrible duplicity!" And Eleanor went into the hallway and beckoned to Warren Brill, and led into the presence of her amazed sire her future husband. All the the Day's Work In a town of Maryland one Bill Morrton appeared before the postmaster one morning and the following colloquy occurred: "Morning, Mr. Postmaster" "Morning, Bill" "Has Tom Moore been in for his mail yet?" "No." Will you be here when he comes?" "I guess so." "Well, when he comes in will you tell him that on his way from the cheese factory I wish he'd stop and get that pig of Herman Stutzs and take it down to Henry Parker's, and tell Henry I said he could have it for the single harness even up, if he'll fix that bridle and throw in them russet lines instead of the old black ones; and if he won't trade, tell Tom to bring the pig down to my place and put it in the extra pen, and be sure and shut that door to the hen house, or all the chickens will get out. Sure there ain't no mail? Morning, Mr. Postmaster." "Morning, Bill." He Didn't Know. "Well, how are you today?" asked the doctor. "Did you take the medicine as i di rected?" "You mean that piece of paper you gave me when I went out?" "Yes. That was a prescription." "Oh I thought it was a receipt for the two dollars."

TO MAKE SCENT AT HOME Woman Who Has Successfully Accomplished It Has Made Her Method Public—Really Simple. A woman who has been trying a very simple way of capturing the natural fragrance of blossoms recently gives this advice to readers: About the only thing which it is necessary to purchase is a glass funnel with the narrow end drawn to a fine point instead of the usual opening. This can be obtained from any druggist supplying apparatus for experiments. Some kind of support will be necessary for the funnel, and this might be made out of twisted wire, or a retort stand can be purchased at the same time as the funnel. You then need a small quantity of ice, and this is broken up into fragments and then placed in the funnel. On the surface a quantity of salt is sprinkled. The fragrant flowers— Crinkled Crepe Makes the Ideal Material That Can Be Employed in This Respect. The best dish towels for polishing glasses are not of checked linen toweling, as most people take for granted. but of ordinary thin seersucker, or crinkled crepe, as it is called in the shops. This material makes ideal glass towels, for it will not shed lint and absorbs moisture rapidly. New and perfectly clean cross-barred linen toweling is fairly satisfactory, but the moment such a towel is past its first youth, or if it has been used more than once before laudering, glasses begin to show the annoying specks of lint that are fatal to a brilliant polish. Dish towels should be rinsed after each use, and once a week they should be boiled ten minutes in water softened with sal soda or some good washing powder. It is not necessary to rub them—after the boiling, rinse in several waters and hang up to dry in the sun. Just before they are quite dry fold them, pressing smoothly with the hands, and hang up the folded towels again to dry thoroughly before putting away. They will not require froning if thus treated. The woman who hesitates at using washing powder or sal soda to wash her dish towels should consider whether it is easier to scrub out grease by main strength in order to make dish towels last a little longer or to relieve herself of unpleasant labor, and, if need be, hem half a dozen new towels a little oftener. There are articles which pay for dainty and careful laundering in order to preserve fine UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD A new afternoon gown of black chiffon with yellow satin and silver cloth trimmings. This is one of the latest Parisian models. roses, carnations or whatever kind may be selected—are placed near to the funnel. A sma" bottle is put under the pointed end, which, it is remembered, is closed right up. After an interval it will be seen that moisture from the atmosphere is condensing on the outside of the funnel. The fragrance given out by the flowers combines with this moisture, which finally trickles down into the bottle. This liquid will be found good quality perfume. To keep it in good condition it is needful to mix with about an equal quantity of spirits of wine. When your powder pads become soiled and impossible to use any more in their present condition, do not throw them away, for you can easily wash them. Soak them in very hot water with plenty of good soft soap dissolved in it. Then wash in fresh hot water, using plenty of soap and rubbing the pads well. If you have more than one to wash at once, rub them together, one against the other, as this helps to loosen the dirt. If you are accustomed to using cold cream before you put on the powder, you may have to put a few drops of household ammonia in the water in which the pads are soaked. White Voile Athletic Costume. One dress which has been especially designed for an athletic maiden is of white voile. The top of the skirt is laid in plaits. The bottqm is finished with a wide band of blue linen. The bodice fits snugly, and yet is made so that the arms can move freely, as it is fastened by means of a blue lacer which is run through embroidered eyelets. A small blue sailor collar, bearing emblems of white braid, is the only thing which stamps the frock as a sports garment. fabric and costly handiwork—but dish towels cannot be included under this head. New Yellow Frocks One of the most charming of the new frocks in cotton voile is a soft yellow tone dotted in black and white and decorated with a black and white checked silk sash. This was worn the other day by a fair haired young girl, and a hat of white chip, wreathed with white and yellow daisies, completed the costume. Another yellow frock in the wardrobe of the same girl is a maize tinted crepe de chine, the Leghorn hat that is generally worn with it being covered with silk roses toning from maize to scarlet. Fruit-Trimmed Ruffs Neck ruffs of tulle and ribbon are much worn and they are especially becoming with the frocks of the season. They are made in brown, dark blue, black and sometimes white. And some of the smartest and newest have a line of tiny flowers, in different gay colors, or small fruits, cherries or apples, placed at regular intervals all around the neck. Some of these ruffs are made to flare out and up and down only at the back. A band of velvet ribbon clasps the throat in front and holds them in position. Worth Knowing. A handy laundry bag is made by leaving the bottom open and sewing on a narrow strip on the under side. Bring this strip over and have it button to the top side. To leave the laundry out just unbutton it and the laundry will come out through the opening. RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992. FRANK S. REED, License Embalmer & Director.
