PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE NEGRO PRESS VOL. XX11. THE NE Dr. Washington, in his notable annual address before the National Negro Business League, paid a deserving tribute to the Negro press. Among other things, he said: "I wish now again, as in other years, to thank the colored press throughout the country for its more than liberal and constant support of this league. We of the Negro race and of the white race know little of the self-sacrificing and patriotic work, that is constantly being done by the Negro press." The Independent commends the eloquent words of Dr. Washington in that he has stressed the momentous importance of the Negro press. The Negro press has rendered incalculable service to the race; and, as Mr. Washington very aptly observes, it has not only been helpful to the Negro people, but to the community and both races alike. It has created a channel through which the business men of both races can reach the masses of the Negro people and put their wares before them. This is a substantial benefit to both races. It has sharpened competition and has done a great deal in enabling the Negro people to find the best prices and bargains for their money. Of all the factors in our racial uplift we know of none that is wielding such a powerful influence for good as the Negro press. It is a great educational factor and educates our people on current questions as no other factor could do. The Negro press has come to stay and there is no agency that deserves the support and patronage of all the people as the Negro press. The Independent wishes to commend our people for the liberal patronage that they have extended to this paper as well as to the other leading Negro papers throughout the country. For our people realize that the Negro paper must be very largely dependent upon their patronage. The Independent can boast that it has a circulation of over 25,000 and it is growing weekly. All over the country it is in great demand not only from our own people, but from our white neighbors as well. We admit that while they patronize us primarily from a business consideration, we are not unmindful of the fact that it is done also out of an admiration and desire for our success and prosperity, and what is true of The Independent is more or less true of all the leading Negro papers. We are proud of the success of every Negro paper in existence wherever they may be. It is to be admitted that there are quite a few that do not come up to the standard, and it has long since been the opinion of The Independent that it would be infinitely better to have fewer and better ones; but time will correct these errors and the puny ones will be eliminated and only the bright and newsy ones will survive. Nevertheless, we are glad to know that there are so many that are exerting such a powerful influence for good throughout the length and breadth of this country. The race owes it to itself to patronize them and give them a liberal support. Our people must learn the importance of advertising and the most effectual medium of advertising is through the newspapers. In this way only can you best support the newspapers as well as the goods which you wish to sell. Again, we wish on behalf of The Independent, to thank Dr. Washington for his patriotic and statesmanlike sentiments expressed before the National Negro Business League in behalf of the Negro press. We want to thank him and in saying this, we feel certain that we voice the sentiments of all other Negro newspapers which are doing such commendable work in behalf of the race and community in which they circulate. Some of their editorials are worthy of any paper and The Independent hopes that the time will soon come when we shall not only have strong weeklies, but dailies as well. It does not forget that, in point of educating the masses, the newspaper has no superior. It has been well said that the pen or the press is greater than the sword.—Atlanta (Ga.) Independent. COLORED PH1LADEL: Philadelphia, August 20, 1915. A number of prominent Colored Philadelphiaians have organized to fight against the movement which they fear will result in separate schools for Colored pupils. The citizens headed by Dr. F. N. Mossel, issued a report Tuesday accusing the Board of Education of violating the school law by discriminating against Colored people. It was pointed out two Colored children suffered from frozen feet because they had to walk a mile and a half to reach the colored school at Frankfort "The action of the Board in advising white parents to take them out of a school set apart for colored children is denounced as "un-Christian, un-American and unjust" The Durham School, at 16th and Lombard streets, has an entire Colored faculty. Few, if any, whites are enrolled. State Hist & Nat Hist Societies State House GIANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO ITS WHO ADV. S OF THE V VER COLORADO SATURDAY, OCT DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2. 1915 JOHN H. HARRIS DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON CHICAGO MAYOR FOR COLORED (Chicago Tribune, Sept. 16 ) Mayor William Hale Thompson, speaking last night in the Coliseum at the half century celebration of Negro freedom, defended his course in appointing Negroes to high positions in the city service. He promised the big assemblage that as mayor of Chicago the Negro race would receive a square deal from him. His Reasons The mayor gave the following three reasons for making such appointments: 1. Because the person appointed was qualified for the position. 2. Because, in the name of humanity, it is my duty to do what I can to elevate rather than degrade any class of American citizens. 3. Because I am under obligation to this people for their continued friendship and confidence while I have been in this community. Proud of Appointments Amplifying this position, the mayor said: "I know that in some quarters I have been criticized severely for appointing a few representative Negro citizens to positions of honor, and trust, and dignity. I am glad to take the full responsibility and the honor for making every one of those appointments, and I want to ask my critics to be as manly and to come out in the open --- light of day with their un-American sentiments." Before attacking his critics who have complained of his featuring appointments of Negroes to city hall positions, the mayor reviewed the history of the Negro race in the United States, paying them a high tribute and severely denouncing the exploitation of Negro crimes in the South while remaining silent on the great strides by the black men. His appointments were of Rev. A. J. Carey and Attorneys Louis B. Anderson and Edw. H. Wright. Notes On Racial Progress Reported by the National Negro Business League.

RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Des Moines, Ia., Sept. 23.—The Rev. J. B. F. Shaw, Colored resident of Freedman's Institute, Meridian, Miss., spoke at the afternoon session of the white Method Episcopal conference here last week of the work among Negroes of the South his school was doing. He declared that there were over 1,900,000 Negroes in Mississippi and out of this number only 51,000 were receiving any kind of education. He urged that the Methodist church of the north extend a helping hand to the worthy thousands in the southland who have been denied an opportunity to secure an education. The speaker said the schools maintained in the south for the Negro were overcrowed and throngs seeking admittance had to be turned away on account of the lack of funds and facilities. Columbus, O., Sept. 23 — Probate Judge Black last Saturday delayed and perhaps prevented the marriage of two Colored men to two white girls, all natives of Kentucky. They are Joe Dillingham, aged 33, a laborer, born at Richmond, Ky., who sought to marry Beulah Snowden, aged 21, seamstress, born at Winchester, Ky., and John Palmer, aged 21, a tailor, born at Richmond, who wanted a license to marry Pearl Young, aged 21, seamstress, born at the same place. All gave their residence as Columbus. It is suspected, however, that they came to Ohio from Kentucky because the laws in their state do not permit the two races to intermarry Not knowing whether to issue the licenses, Clerk Bert Peer called Judge Black. The latter told the quartet to bring their parents to give taeir consent to the marriages. They did not return. Washington, D. C.—Have the Negroes of the United States lost all desire to migrate to Liberia? Assuming that there is no longer a demand on the part of American Negroes to find homes in the West African Republic, the heirs of Mrs. Carolina Donovan have no file in the Circuit Court of Baltimore a petition to have declared null and void a trust created in 1886 by Mrs. Donovan for the purpose of assisting colored people to go to Liberia and to stimulate educational work among the Negroes there. The fund in question has been administered all these years by the American Colonization Society, which has its headquarters in this city. The record is said to show that the society has expended only about $20,000 of the income from the Donovan fund in 17 years, while the total receipts therefrom have amounted to more than $40,000. The office expenses have been quite heavy, but with all that a surplus has accumulated in the hands of the society that indicates according to the claims of the Donovan heirs-at-law, the decadence of the cause for which the trust was created. Since Negroes do not wish to go to Liberia, the petitioners ask that the trust be dissolved and that the trust property be distributed among Mrs. Donovan's residuary legatees and their descendants. It is understood that the officials of the American Colonization Society and Rev. Ernest Lyon, of Baltimore, Liberia's consular agent in this country, are resisting the dissolution of the Donovan trust. The matter is now before the courts. SAN DIEGO CALIF.

EDITOR FATALLY SHOT BURGLAR ATTACKS ROBERT MITCHELL AT WALSENBURG. Governor Carlson Orders Bloodhounds Sent From State Penitentiary at Cañon City. ! Western Newspaper Union News Service. Walsenburg, Colo., Sept. 26.—Robert Mitchell, 41, publisher of the Independent, a weekly newspaper, was fatally shot tonight at his residence in West Sixth street by a burglar whom he and his wife had surprised looting the house. Two shots entered Mitchell's head and his death is regarded as a matter of hours. Mr. Mitchell and his wife had been uptown and were returning when they noticed a light in one of the rooms. The light moved to another room and they became suspicious something was wrong. Mr. Mitchell started around the house. He had got to the side door when the burglar tried to escape and met him face to face. The burglar immediately opened fire. Mr. Mitchell was carrying a magazine in his hand and attempted to defend himself with it. One of the bullets passed through the magazine, entering his head.

Troy, better known among his piscatorial associates as "Hard Luck" Troy, because of the fre- quency with which he returned from angling excursions without results, conceived an idea which has since made him quite famous.

In the tank he placed several large and small mouth bass of medium size and members of other fish families common in the north temperate zone.

Once firmly established in their good graces, Troy took steps to solve a problem which had perplexed him for years and which is the cause of disappointment for the average unsuccessful angler. He wanted to know the most expeditious way to bait a hook with a minnow in order to catch bass. With this idea in mind he dropped several chub minnows in the tank. In a moment they had disappeared. Several more were dropped, and Troy was surprised a moment later to see one of the number, minus its tail and badly cut, belly up toward the surface. A second later it disappeared in the maw-of one-of the bass. Observations were continued, and Troy eventually learned that the bass would never take the minnow tail first. So on his next excursion, instead of thrusting his barb through the head or nose of the minnow, he caught it about the middle and just under the back fin, thus giving a bass a chance at the head. The difference in hooking soon showed results, and when Troy finished the trip he had succeeded in catching more and better bass than he had on any other trip of his career. Wonder of Golden West Is Found in Los Angeles Wonder of Golden West Is Found in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES.—One wonder of the Golden West was discovered in Los Angeles one morning recently by Arthur J. Reed, a tripper from Denyer, as he was enjoying his first night's sleep in California. Reed went to a movie show on Sunday night. He saw a jungle film. Giraffes, tigers, lions and elephants frisked across the screen, charged, slew and gobbled their prey. His back hair bristled as he later pulled the covers up to his nose and sank back into his pillow. Horrible dreams outdid the movie's flickering films.

THE BOY Best Footwear Styles for Out-of-Doors Jac The little boy of five or thereabout spends his waking hours in suits made of heavy linen or cotton materials made up in light or dark colors, or in white. He is "dressed up" in white, but for play his suits are made of the various brown or blue shades or of striped brown and white or blue and white. Black belts of suede or patent leather, and black silk ties, look well with any of these. Plain and striped materials are combined in the same suit. The trousers, for example, are made of plain dark brown linen, and the blouse of brown and white stripe, with collar and cuffs of the plain linen. Or both blouse and trousers are made of a plain color, with striped collar and cuffs. The suit shown in the picture is one of many good designs in small boys' clothes, all of them made of washable fabrics. Besides these, the little lad may be fitted out with garments of dark blue serge and, for the most formal occasions, a suit of velvet is a little extravagance which excuses itself because it is so pleasing and refined. All the trousers in the wash suits are straight and plain and are either knee length or a little longer. Some of them button on to a short blouse or shirtwaist. Others are buttoned to an underwaist and in others they are sewn to the underwaist. In blouses the "middy" is a favorite. Best Footwear Sty No one can fall to be impressed with the trimness and neatness of the fall and winter styles in footwear. They are somewhat plainer than those of the past summer. Shoe men seem to have concentrated attention on novelty in the manner of cutting the new footwear and to consider perfection of finish the most important of items in its construction. Here are three of the all-leather styles that are presented for milady's consideration this fall. Her attention falls first upon the shoes in which she is to walk when out of doors. Any one of these styles is to be commended for the promenade. A graceful boot of kid is shown in which the tip is narrowed and extended up the front to the top. This gives a long, shapely line calculated to make the foot look slender. Perfect machine stitching outlines all the edges of leather, and even in the stay at the back lines have been carefully considered. The heel is both sensible and graceful, and the buttons—with eyes—contribute to the fine finish of this model. A similar boot is known which fastens with a front lace. This necessitates a little change in shaping the It is long-waisted and opens at the front, where, like many others, it is laced with a cord. A wide band at the bottom takes the place of a belt and is prettily finished with buttons set on at each side. This is a simple garment that slips over the head, and is very good style. Quite like the middy suit in appearance, there is a one-piece design with short trousers set on to a plain blouse with the waist a little lengthened. It opens at the throat with a lacing and has a belt made of the material that fastens at the front with a single button. It is supported by straps sewed to the blouse. This is made of a dark linen with lighter collar and cuffs, and is furnished with a small handkerchief pocket. The youngster slips into it feet first and is well equipped for romping. There are good designs in short coats and Eton jackets to be worn over the short blouse, to which the trousers are buttoned. Besides these, there are the long Russian blouse suits, and in these the blouse reaches almost to the bottom of the pants. In these the belt is of patent leather or suede and is worn low. The opening is at the front and is fastened with buttons and buttonholes. Good-looking little coats of serge are much like the Russian blouse, but are open from neck to belt and fasten with buttons down the front. les for Out-of-Doors extension of the tip, and this model goes even farther than the buttoned boot in adding to the appearance of slenderness in the foot. The younger women are showing a preference for walking shoes that resemble the boots which men wore a generation or so ago. This resemblance doesn't go much farther than appearances as the shoes lace on the inside, the lacing being made as in conspicuous as possible. These pretty make-believe boots are worn in light tans, in tan and brown, in gray and in black. A pair of them is glimpsed here. A real boot, called the Cossack boot, shows promise of developing in to a fad with the younger women. It has a short leg, turning back at the top in a band, usually finishes with a decorative pattern in cut-out work. It is a jaunty, saucy bit of footwear which looks well with the Russian styles in gowns or the snappy military modes that mingle their dashy style with others of the new sea son. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

COLORADO experience and, if rightly directed and understood, the child can gain untold riches from the nature lore that surrounds him. Here again the father and mother can be of inestimable value to him, encouraging and helping him in every tendency which he shows. Gain his confidence, cultivate and enjoy with him the things which interest him; and let him come to you with all his treasures and his great adventures. So only can you give to your children and gain from them the great and happiest moments of life. If your girls want the same experiences in the "great out-of-doors," let them have them, although at this older period home and its possibilities attract a girl. Here the mother should gain her daughter's confidence and with the spirit of love teach her the things that will make her a womanly woman and a worthy future mother. The great tragedies in girls' lives have come from this lack of understanding between mother and daughter. The household duties could all be primarily learned in the spirit of play—make each duty a game—and finally, through the play side, its real value will be seen and appreciated. This is not as foolish as it may sound, for it is the basis of the greatest girl movement in the country today, and thousands of young girls are gaining a greater, truer knowledge of life's work through first seeing it in the guise of play and pleasure. No one is too old to play a game, so if you have, or will take, a few spare moments in your day's work—go out in the yard and play a set of tennis or a game of tether-ball, volley-ball or quoits with your daughter, your work and hers will have a keener interest all the rest of the day, because you have played and played together. gined with tortoise shell. Doctors and eye specialists have never recommended them, so it occurred to two psychologists recently to seek an explanation of their popularity and the research proved that the tortoise-rimmed spectacles and eyeglasses are harmful. After an examination by the psychoanalytic methods of Professor Freud of Buda-Pesth, the psychologists have discovered the surprising fact that the tortoise shelled and rimmed circular glasses are an unconscious imitation of the eyes of owls! In fine, by Freudian analysis, it has been found that there is a suppressed wish in men to "look wise" and "owllike." When you accuse men of this they will deny it. Nevertheless it was proved absolutely beyond doubt on each and every individual tested that there was neither a true cosmetic—beauty—effect, nor any aid to the vision in tortoise-rimmed spectacles. On the contrary, it is brought out that the thick, dark edges distract the eye from its central focus and keep it annoyed and wandering to the dark edges made of tortoise shell. Each consists of five young children and the contrast between these children is really surprising. The parents of one family have reason to feel proud of their offspring, for they are taught at all times to have respect for all people older than themselves and to leave other people's property absolutely alone. The other family includes about the most saucy and impudent boys one could find. They are a source of annoyance to everybody who comes in contact with them. They seem to take delight in destroying other people's property, and as for respecting an old man or woman, I fear they do not respect even their own parents. Is it any wonder that every day we read about young lads being arrested and sent to jail? If boys learn nothing at home but meanness and unkindness when they are growing up, what else can be expected but that they will spend their early manhood in houses of correction? Civilization consists largely in taking trouble. Genius, in the individual, has been said to consist in the capacity for taking infinite pains in one's work. It is this capacity which marks the superior race as well as the superior individual. They who find the taking of pains too burdensome to be borne will naturally decide that civilization is not worth the trouble. They who do not find it so very burdensome to take pains will naturally decide that civilization is worth the trouble, and will therefore become civilized. This principle applies to every stage of civilization and progress. The greatest advancement is made by those who are capable of taking greatest pains. amount of inherited or second-hand faith can take the place of a confidence in God and in man for which one has fought his way through the dark. There is no easy way to such a faith. Faith easily won is easily overwhelmed; to stand the test, faith must be grounded on a deep and real experience, facing the grim facts of actual life and grappling with stern realities.

Our subscription list is increasing rapidly and we are convinced that our merchants will reap greater benefits from their advertisements found in our columns on account of these conditions.

Palmer, San Francisco THE INTERNATIONAL SOIL PRODUCTS EXPOSITION The International Soil Products exposition, which opened Oct. 26th, is the greatest exposition ever held on the American continent.

Whatever a man owns or controls that has any value whatever is capital. He who has bread on his board or meal in the bag—however little—has capital. The tramp who has secured enough food to make one meal ahead has capital. The man that has a full stomach, though he may not know where the next meal is coming from, has capital. The man that owns the mule and the man that owns the millions are both blessed with capital, but the man that owns the millions has the greater sphere of operation and hence we call him a capitalist. However a man may own millions and not be a capitalist, but no man can own either mule, meal or million at his immediate control and be without capital. Man may own meal, mule and millions that are not under his immediate control and yet be in poverty. A man lost in the African deserts may have millions of wealth and none in America or Europe but without food, water and shelter he is in poverty. So capital depends upon surrounding conditions and one's ability to rightly employ it to bring to himself the greatest benefit obtainable. He who has capital, however little, has a start in the world, and it is largely left to each individual as to whether he sinks or swims. While all men will not and can not leave footprints on the sands of time, fortune forever follows the brave. Capacity for Taking Infinite Pains By Dr. T.N. Carver, Washington, D.C. Civilization consists largely in taking trovidual, has been said to consist in the capacity in one's work. It is this capacity which marks the superior individual. They who find the taking or be borne will naturally decide that civilization They who do not find it so very burdensome to decide that civilization is worth the trouble, civilized. This principle applies to every stage of civil greatest advancement is made by those who are pains. PANICS The effects of the hard times can be seen better now that we are shaking them off than when we were passing through them. Still the present revival of better times is not adequate to immediately restore the nation to that plane of prosperity it occupied just prior to the financial crisis. Experience has taught the older citizens of this nation that no man need say "good-bye" to hard times and think that they have departed forever. However, panics are not so disastrous as famines, as the one destroys the progress and prosperity of all the people, while panics ofttimes bring greater blessings to those who are already blessed. For example, when a panic is on, men are at once thrown out of employment; enforced idleness is abundant everywhere; money is scarce or hard to obtain; values in labor as well as in personal and real property fall off. The demand for money sends it at once to a premium and he that has it to loan can ask and get a better rate per cent and better security than can be demanded or obtained when money is plentiful and the people have employment. Thus it is evident that panics strike both ways, hitting laborers, farmers, mechanics and manufacturers severe blows—while they ofttimes assist money-landers, in finding fields to employ their surplus cash to an advantage.

"PUT MONEY IN THY PURSE." I want you to learn to save your money, not because money has any especial sacredness within itself, but because money stands for so much. Money stands for character, for hard work, for forethought. You know there are a lot of people going about through the world who pretend that they have money. There are some of you here who if people should see you walking about, would think you had money in the bank, and I do not believe you would have money enough to take you to Chehaw. If you wanted to go there you would have to borrow the amount it would take, or ask someone to give it to you. There are some people in the world who think it a sin to have money. For my part, I do not think money will keep you out of heaven. At any rate if it would, I do not see any signs of any one about having so much that he will be kept out. Now I wish to impress upon you, get all the money that you can. In the first place, in order that you may learn to save money you must learn to save your time. You must think as much of your time as of money. A man cannot begin the day's work by sitting down two hours in the morning talking about some one's else business, then for two hours in the afternoon talking about some one's else business, and have money. No man can get hold of money by throwing away a Saturday or a half-Saturday. People cannot get hold of money who do not learn how to cut off expenses that they need not have. You want to learn how to deny yourselves. You want to learn how to save money. Try to save money every week; then, after you have learned to save it, learn to put it in the bank and then buy a home. Have some land that you can call your own. Be sure that you spend each week less than you earn. The great difficulty is that people try to spend more than they make and yet expect to get on in the world. You cannot do it very long. You want to learn to spend less and earn more. Now we can never get up in the world, as a people; never be respected, so long as the black skin means that the man possessing it has no bank account; so long as a black skin means that that man does not own a home, that he lives in a rented cabin; that he has no credit; that he has no commercial standing. We can talk about the sin of wealth, but so long as we are without property, without the confidence of the business world, so long as we throw away our money, so long as we do not learn to put money in the bank, just so long will people fail to respect us and to have confidence in us. Now, you young women can do just the same as the young men. You can put a little money in the bank each week—Booker T. Washington. A Thought for the Week—Do you know that if 100 additional Negroes would patronize any one of our Negro enterprises, and spend only 25 cents apiece a week with him, in a year he would make $1,300? Suppose 500 Negroes would patronize him, in a short time his or her business would increase so rapidly that they would have to take on more help. Maybe then your son or daughter might be taken out of the field or kitchen to fill the position.—Royal Messenger. Joe Jeanette, famous pugilist, has retired from the ring and established a Jitney Bus Line in Hoboken, New Jersey. "Patterson-Greenfield" is the name of the new automobile made by the famous colored firm of buggy makers, C. R. Patterson & Sons, of Greenfield, Ohio.

THE KITCHEN CABINET I tell you the future can hold no terrors For any sad soul while the stars revolve: : If he will but stand firm on the grave of his errors HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS. . A damp cloth dipped in common baking soda will brighten tinware. The OO steel wool is fine for scouring alumnum and keeping it bright. EASTER Cabbage will not fill the house with odor if cooked in rapidly boiling salted water in an uncovered dish. Boil the tea and coffee pot often in strong soda water; this will keep them free from stains. Red ink may be removed from linen if freshly made mustard is applied and left on an hour, then sponge off and the stain will disappear at once. To remove candle grease cover with blotting paper and apply a very hot iron. Rub the iron up and down and the grease will be absorbed in the blotter. A quick way of cleaning currants is to rub them with flour; this will take off the stalks. Put the currants in a colander and rub them with the hand. To make whipped cream go farther and stand more firm add the white of an egg, heaten stiff. Never allow irons to become red-hot or they will not hold the heat as well again. Two or three times a week a hot lye solution should be poured into the sink. It is best to do this the last thing at night, so that it will not be washed away before it has time to act on the grease in the pipes. Epsom salts added to rinsing water will keep even delicate colors from fading or running. Use a teaspoonful of salts to a gallon of water. Cracks in furniture may be filled with beeswax, then smoothed with a knife. Sandpaper the surrounding wood and work some of the dust into the wax. This will cause the crack to be unnoticed. Keep a sheet of carbon paper in the notebook; then, when making out a laundry list, you will have a duplicate list for yourself. A teaspoonful of sugar to a kettle of corn or peas when cooking will improve their flavor. A bunch of mint added to the water in which new potatoes are boiled will give a flavor which is most pleasant. The beauty on the surface of daily life is from the central principles within, as the beauty on the cheek of health is from the central force at the heart.—Mark Hopkins. GOOD THINGS TO KNOW. A cloth dipped in whiting will remove finger marks and soil from white paint much easier than the old method of soap and water. A snowy night with a large ball of snow falling from a tree. When a soup or sauce is overseasoned, dip a piece of bread into the liquid; this will take up the sauce so that more liquid will need to be added, yet it will relieve the high flavor. Remedy for Mildew.—An excellent remedy for mildew is to saturate the article with kerosene, roll it up and let it stand for 24 hours, then wash in soap suds. Mock Venison.—Cover a piece of mutton with vinegar water and a few spices, cook slowly in mixture, adding salt when the meat is tender. When cooked it tastes like venison. In using a lemon for a cold, it will be found more efficacious as well as more full of juice if baked in the oven, and the juice eaten with sugar while hot. Steel wool is a most convenient helper in the house. It may be used in the place of sandpaper, pumice stone and scouring soaps. It will take soil off of floors, remove varnish, rub down varnish on woodwork, remove rust and stain from metalware, and will get into cracks and corners better than any other cleaner. The finest is used with soap to polish aluminum ware. Put a fresh apple in the cake; the moisture will keep the cake fresh and moist. Headache caused from worry or nervousness may be quickly relieved by applications at the back of the head next the neck of hot cloths. Soaking the feet in hot water is also a good remedy. White oilcloth makes fine linings for kitchen drawers; it is cheap, can be easily cleaned, and always looks well. Neeleie Maxwell Why We Count in Tens. Because we have ten fingers we count in tens; therefore, for ease and quickness of reckoning all our measurements should be in tens. Then, in order to reckon, we should only have to use the very simple method which we learn when we study decimals. Sparrows on the Farm. The English sparrow, thought to be a city bird, is found on the farms of the northeastern part of the United States to the extent of five pairs on each farm.

The meetings were all that they desired and the result met with their approbation and to their credit be it said everything was harmonious. Every Denverite met with a hearty reception from the denizens of the different cities they visited. So many receptions were given in their honor that ordinary food will not taste good to them for several months to come. Capt. Silas H. Johnson of the Denver Fire Department returned from his thirty days' outing to different western points last Sunday. He showed that he had a strenuous sightseeing tour. He visited the annual meeting of the Grand Masonic Lodge at Salt Lake, Utah, the annual meeting of the Odd Fellows' Grand Lodge at Spokane, Wash. From there he went to Seattle, Wash., where he met with a hearty welcome from fellow members of his order, the Odd Fellows. Sam H. Stone, caterer, formerly of Denver, took the doughty captain in charge and showed him the city by sunshine and shadow, and, by the way, Stone has made good in the Northwest. He owns valuable property and has an excellent business. But Frisco and Oakland had a welcome for Captain Johnson that he will not soon forget. In Oakland he was the honored guest of Samuel E. Cook and his estimable wife, and Mrs. Louise Williams. He enjoyed every hour of his stay in the Golden Gate. The captain is loud in praise of the gracious welcome he met with in the West by her hospitable people. MESSENGER RESIGNS O. T. Jackson, messenger to the governor, has tendered his resignation.

The officers and members of Columbine Temple No. 11, S. M. T., do hereby extend our deepest heartfelt sympathy to this bereaved family in the loss of one so near and dear, Sister I. H. Wallace. If anything could have caused us especial pain, it was the news of the sudden death of our dear sister, and to lose such a devoted one truly brings a deep and heavy shadow. No more we'll hear her welcome greeting nor meet her in our temple with her sweet smiling face. Still should we follow her example; we shall meet her face to face in the Great Beyond. It has indeed been a heavy loss, and we scarcely know how to talk of consolation, under so bitter an affliction. Still, there remains a consolation to us, that there will be a glad and happy reunion in the Temple above, where the membership is composed of holy angels. We assure you that our hearts beat in unison with your sorrow, yet we are hourly reminded that life is a count of losses. A light is from our temple gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in your home Which never can be filled. We cannot tell who next may fall Beneath the chastening rod, One must be first, but let us all Prepare to meet our God. Resolved, That a copy of these reso- lutions be sent to the bereaved family, spread upon our minutes and published in the weekly papers as the last tribute to our devoted sister. ELMORA FRANKLIN. LUCY J. BREEDLOVE. LOUISA COOPER. SETTLEMENT FAIR AT DEAR FIELD. The settlers of Dearfield will hold a Settlement Fair on October 15 and 16, 1915. The fair will be held in a large tent 30x50 in the town. Governor Carlson and ex-Governor Ammons, Dr. Lowry, president of the State Agricultural College and Senator Earhardt, state commissioner of good roads, will open the fair on Friday, October 15. After the opening exercises the governor will award the prizes for the best exhibits. Special rates have been asked for over the Union Pacific railroad, and possibly an excursion will be run from Denver on Opening Day, Friday, October 15, 1915. All who are interested in Dearfield and wish to see the wonderful progress being made by the settlers should attend the fair and inspect the farms and only public school being taught by a colored teacher. The settlers have much to exhibit in crops, poultry, dairy stock, hogs and horses, all raised in the settlement. The ladies of the Missionary Society and the churches will provide meals for the poor and proceeds will be divided between the two churches. Admission to the fair, 25 cents. All eastern Colorado colored farmers within a radius of sixty miles of Dearfield are invited to make exhibits and share in the prizes. From $1 to $5 will be charged for exhibit space in tent. Inquirers for space and other particulars should address Dearfield Fair Association, Masters, Colo., Dr. W. A. James, president; Mrs. Robinson, secretary. LANGFORD-McVEA FIGHT. Langford and McVea boxed twenty rounds to a draw decision at the Stockyards stadium, Thursday night, before a crowd of 6,000 people. Abe Pollock of the Rocky Mountain News has the following to say about the fight: "Not Rough-and-Tumble Go. "Judged from the viewpoint of the man who prefers to see rough-and-tumble go, with plenty of gore and slugging, last night's contest was not a success. But, looking at it as a battle between two experienced ring generals, who knew every point of the Marquis of Queensburg rules, it was easily the finest boxing exhibition which has been given in Denver, and that not excepting contests between far lighter men, who might be expected to be a good deal faster on their feet. "In the earlier stages of the battle, McVea had a slight lead in points, gained by staying away from his man and putting in effective lefts. In the second half of the mill, however, Langford even matters up by coming in with a rush and putting in deadly blows which traveled but a short distance, but which carried power to waste behind them. "I gave McVea the sixth, seventh, eighth and twelfth rounds; Langford the fifth, tenth, sixteenth and seventeenth, and called the others even. Basing my opinion upon the fight on that summary. I believe that the decision rendered by Referee Pitts was the only one which could have been given in justice to either man, and evidently the major part of the fans felt as I did. "While no official figures were obtainable last night on the bout, the crowd was variously estimated at from 5,000 to 7,500 fans, which would net the battlers, who received 55 per cent of the gross receipts, or around $4,000, to be split between the two. Langford drew 30 per cent of the gross receipts, while McVea drew 25 per cent. FUNERAL NOTICE OF DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO. Dorothy J. Watson, aged 2 years, beloved infant of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Watson. Funeral services were held Saturday, September 25, at 2 p. m. from residence, 2632 Arapahoe street. Rev. Fuggett officiated. Mr. Edward F. Moore, aged 37 years, beloved son of Mrs. Emmel Howard, departed this life Wednesday, September 29, at residence, 3110 Franklin street. Funeral notice later. THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Twenty-fourth avenue and Ogden street, David E. Over, D.D., minister. The stroke which fell upon Zion in the sudden taking off of two of its most prominent and active members within a few days of each other, rendered a blow, the weight of which will be felt for a good many days to come. Sister Wallace and Sister Stewart were each present on the first Sunday evening in September to bid the pastor Godspeed as he left for the convention and to take a vacation, which was cut short in the course of a week by the death of both. How wonderful God works! How sudden the summons! But though coming all unexpected, it found each prepared. Following this week the auxiliary work which was suspended during the month of September will begin actively again. The Women's Bible class is called next Thursday afternoon at 2:30, the usual hour. This meeting will be followed by the Mission Circle at 3:30. Every woman in the community is welcome. The Teacher Training class is called Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. The pastor hopes to see every member present. The evening will be given to review work. The Zion Fellowship Band will meet at 8 o'clock Friday evening. It is hoped that every visiting list will be turned in for reports and marking. The Sunday School Rally Day is not for the fifth Sunday in this month. The days intervening are to be used in campaigning to bring in every strangler and to force the enrollment to a higher mark. Every element in our church and school is to be set at work to secure this end. The standard has been set for three hundred and fifty present on the 31st. Let everyone pull together! The past five evenings have been spent by the faithful in prayer. These special meetings have brought great good to the church and indicate that we may look forward to quickened interest in the coming activities. Our B. Y. P. U. services, held at 6:30 Sunday evenings, are becoming a real inspiration. The program rendered by the boys last Sunday was much to their credit. In this work our young people are to take the lead. THE PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN. East, Twenty-third avenue and Washington street, Pastor, J. A. Thos-Hazell, S. T. B. Sermon topics, Sunday, October 3:11 a. m., "The Passover and the Lord's Supper"; 4:30 p. m., "Prayer and Meditation"; 5 p. m., "Communion of the Lord's Supper." Rev. L. B. West sustained his renunciation as a fascinating and convincing pulviteer at the People's church last Sabbath morning in his deliverance of the anniversary sermon. The audience appreciated his efforts. At eventide Elder Evans made a glowing report of the Presbytery of Denver. The Woman's Missionary Society has well-developed plans for their fall and winter work. Rev. Thos-Hazell preaches the pre-communion sermon at the forenoon hour tomorrow and celebrates the communion of the Lord's Sunner at 5 o'clock. The time for evening service beginning tomorrow for the fall and winter season will be at 5 o'clock instead of 5:30 p. m. The Y. P. S. C. E. will therefore convene half an hour THE Joslin Annual DRY GOODS CO. Profit Sharing Sale Commences Monday October 4 before. All communicants are urged to partake of the Eucharistic Feast tomorrow evening. The fall campaign for the resuscitation of every department of the work opens tomorrow with the Sabbath school. Every member of the church is asked to identify himself with the Sunday school. The Revs. Thos-Hazell and L. B. West funeralize the body of the baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Kinchelou last Tuesday. Gladys was 3 years, 4 months, 19 days, and lived with her aunt, Mrs. Lou Hughes, 2356 Glenarm. The death was almost sudden and unexpected. This little angel was beloved by all who knew her because of her amiable disposition and cuteness of ways. We commend the family to the Father's care. Last Wednesday night at 7 o'clock Miss Samira Harris and Mr. Lemuel R. Owens, very distinguished young people of this city, were married at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Morrison, 834 Fox street, in the presence of a large number of friends of the contracting parties. The union was a surprise to all excepting one of the officiating clergymen and the foster parents of the young lady. The Rev, L. B. West of the Union church at Dearfield assisted Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell in the performance of the ceremony by reading the Presbyterian order of service for such an occasion. The white and colored eye witnesses of the ceremony say these two clergymen are bound to hold these people together with the help of the Head of the Church. May peculiar blessings attend Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Owens in their marital endeavors. SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES. Rev. Robert L. Pope, B. D., Pastor.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Do You Know That一 A correspondent of the New York Evening Mail writes as follows: The COLORADO STATESMAN I read with interest in the Evening Mail the proposal of the "compulsory enlistment of Negroes in a huge standing army," primarily to wield the shovel and incidentally to defend the country, and this, too, offered as a solution of the Negro problem. Of all flights of the imagination this is the worst. The Negro has always been foremost in the defense of his country, and always among the first to answer his country's call. I will mention Crispus Attucks, the Negro whose blood was the first shed in the War of the Revolution in calling the citizens of Boston to resent the attacks of the British; the conduct of the black troops in the Civil war, especially the men of the Massachusetts and Illinois regiments, who fought throughout the war without murmuring, although their families were without support because a secretary of war refused to pay them because their faces were black! Though these men didn't receive their pay until seven years after the war, there was no thought of mutiny or of quitting. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING When Gen. Benjamin Butler sent his famous message to headquarters, "If you don't send me re-enforcements by tomorrow I will carry the war into Africa," time has shown he made no mistake in so doing. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Of the conduct of the Negroes in the Spanish-American war, those who were at El Caney and San Juan Hill can bear witness. The president of the United States has seen fit to congratulate the black men of the border patrols for their splendid discipline and efficiency between a rain of lead in front of them and a storm of prejudice behind them. Then why this compulsory enlistment of a race that never in the history of this country has been weighed in the balance and found wanting? The Negro does not have to be driven to serve his country, but he does ask that he be allowed to serve his country as a man. The only place the Negro race, or any other race, has is that to which by merit it is entitled. The time has long since passed since the Negro was only a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. In this government of the people, by the people and for the people, the Negro asks only an equal opportunity for his lawyers, his doctors, his business men, etc. A race that can produce such concededly efficient fighters surely can and has produced men capable of acting as officers. Then why "white" officers? 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. I regret not having been able, as the writer, "to have done my full duty to my country," but that wasn't my fault. Perhaps my experiences in that direction might be interesting. When a student at the Boys' High school of Brooklyn representatives from several Brooklyn regiments called at the school to interest students in high school companies of those regiments. Every man in my class was approached but myself. Having learned of the part Negroes had played in the wars of the United States and being ambitious to do my share, I presented myself at a certain armory near the school. I was informed that they had no companies for colored men. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction Later on in life as a student in a university up state which has compulsory freshmen military training under the control of an officer of the United States army, I was told by There is a lesson given in everything they do at Tuskegee, and a demand that they do it well, writes Mrs. J. B. Reid in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. They are taught that good work is elevating and that poor service is not wanted. Every pupil, boy or girl, is given the opportunity of learning a trade, fitting themselves to do one thing best, though they learn many lessons in all kinds and classes of work. They are disciplined, are taught order, politeness, stimulated to study; when they fail to do their best they are put in the drone class, subjected to the charge of failure, and this plan has worked well. Think of the lessons learned from the cultivation of diversified crops, all done by students—110 acres in Dooly yam potatoes, and other crops of similar acreage; the preparation of a silo for winter forage, a butcher pen, cold storage plant, furniture factory, wagons, buggies and carriages, shoe shops, laundry, bakery, printing press, creamery, a model dairy and kitchen, where every girl is forced to take cooking lessons, sewing room, plain and fancy stitches; can- Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Of the minor race divisions, the Albanians, the inhabitants of the remaining immediate possession of European Turkey, are supposed to be direct descendants of the ancient Illyrians.

It requires 582,333 of the smallest screws in the world to make a pound. A magnifying glass is needed by one who would see them clearly. this commandant that I would be excused from the regiments because the presence of a colored man in the company would cause friction. Quite a change since the Wilderness. Over my protest to serve my country I was refused. A classmate of mine who joined the bugle corps was asked to resign because there was one too many buglers, yet he was among the first to come out for the position and had had experience. In connection with the meeting of the National Negro Business league, at Boston, the New York Post publishes some figures relative to the commercial progress of the Negro during the last 15 years. In 1900 there were in this country 20,000 Negro business enterprises; in 1915 over 45,000. In 1900 Negroes operated two banks; 1915, over fifty. In 1900 there were 10,000 Negro retail merchants; 1915, over 25,000. During the same period the value of farm property held by Negroes has increased proportionately. The value of domestic animals advanced from $85,000,000 to $177,000,000; poultry, $3,800,000 to $5,000,000; implements and machinery, $18,500,000 to $36,800,000; land and buildings, $69,600,000 to $273,500,000. The percentage of increase ranges from 36 per cent to 29.3. Much of this progress is credited to the influence of Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee institute, and to like institutions, which have stood for vocational training. At Tuskegee and the other schools which have been modeled after its plan, emphasis is laid on such courses as blacksmithing, drying, poultry raising, etc., which fit the student for immediately remunerative employment. In his address before the Negro business men at Boston, Doctor Washington urged his audience to take up truck farming, baking, storekeeping, etc., saying "there is in the United States no hope for us, except we teach our young people to apply their education to develop the natural resources and promote human happiness in the communities in which they live." On farms, both North and South, there is ample opportunity to put this advice into effect. Despite lynching in the South, which is an expression of community lawlessness rather than Negro antagonism, there is reason to believe that prejudice against the Negro is dying out. When the Negro exposition was held at Richmond, Va., a short time ago, the newspapers of that city warmly supported the undertaking, urging white people to attend, and there were thousands of white visitors. At the exposition in Chicago, where the work of 2,000,000 Negro school children was on exhibition, the opening day was declared a holiday by the city council and all municipal and county offices were closed. "Few colored men have had such a large number of friends among prominent white citizens as Walter Perry, for many years employed in a responsible position at the Country club, and whose death occurred recently," said Robert B. McDowell, secretary of the Southern club of Birmingham, Ala. "Some years ago while I was secretary of the Country club I hired Walter and he was there until he died. Always dependable, always faithful, no one could have given better service. Everybody who knew him liked him, and I among hundreds learned of his death with sincere regret." ing and preserving; all of these were in operation at the summer school as well as through the regular term. Already 90,000 cans of preserved fruits, vegetables, jellies and fruit juices have been shelved there, and the work still goes on. Milk and butter from 90 Jersey cows; pupils are taught the care of stock, milking and dairying; nurses are trained in the hospital, both men and women. This is a human factory, turning from its workshop, out of rough material, laborers ready to meet the world's emergencies in the field of progress, in the demand for skilled labor. There is no foolishness about the system—it is worth while. They are teaching them practical lessons and teaching them books, studies adapted to their vocations. There was no mention of lessons on Cicero; no effort to show off. It was a matter of fact business.

NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Old Fort De Russy May Be Partially Restored WASHINGTON.—Restoration of Fort De Russy in Rock Creek park sufficient to preserve the outlines of the parapet, ditch, bastions and other features as it stood during the Civil war may be an outcome of the G. A. R. things, Lieutenant Round proposed that the present roadway up the fort hill be extended to encircle the entire fort outside the ditch and that sufficient brush be cleared away to show the landscape to passing visitors in carriages and automobiles. He suggested that an old-time "crow's nest" or signal station be built in one of the tallest trees near the fort and be preserved as a feature of the jubilee encampment of the G. A. R. Lieutenant Round had signal stations in operation during the encampment at Soldiers' Home, Fort Stevens, Georgetown Heights, Fort Richardson and Fairfax Seminary south of the Potomac. Concerning the appropriateness of permanently preserving Fort De Russy, he stated: "I respectfully submit that Fort De Russy is one of the most interesting objects in the park and could easily be made a particularly picturesque feature: It must be about the highest point in the park. It was the most prominent fort in the line of fortifications which confronted General Early's Confederate army which attacked Washington in 1864, much stronger in natural position and range than Fort Reno on its left and Fort Stevens on its right. But for Fort De Russy, Early's veterans in gray would no doubt have entered Washington by the Rock Creek valley." Uncle Sam Promotes the Out-of-Door Movement A REALIZATION that the members of his big family should be encouraged to live more in the open air seems to have come suddenly to Uncle Sam, for he has done more, perhaps, in the past twelve months to stimulate and ing of sites for summer homes for as many as 30 years for merely nominal rentals. This arrangement, which went into effect last spring, makes worth while the erection of substantial improvements, and has already greatly increased the number of persons sojourning in the forests in the summer season. In many of the forests applications to lease five-acre tracts are pouring in, and dwellings from simple log cabins to pretentious homes are springing up in mountain glens and by river banks and lake shore. In order to determine just what the forests present in the way of attractive sites for summer homes and facilities for boating, bathing, fishing, mountain climbing and other outing activities, the forest service is now making a recreational survey of the domains over which it has control and will list and publish the data as rapidly as possible. Now, it is realized, most of the applicants for cottage sites are persons who happen to be familiar with the forests. When the data now being collected are available, however, city-bound souls who long for the woods but have neither the means nor the time to make long searches for satisfactory sites will be able to choose just about what they wish without stirring from their doors. Feast on Ham Cooked in Ink to Settle Dispute FOR four years two prominent Washington men have quarreled over the question whether a ham cooked in ink is better than one cooked in champagne. The champion of the ink-cooked ink is Frank Conger, former "Of course," said Mr. Conger, "I do not maintain that the ink adds to the delectable flavor of the ham. But neither does the champagne. I would not advise epicures to drink the ink in which the ham is cooked. But I will eat the ham cooked in the ink to prove that no part of the ink substance is absorbed by the ham in cooking, and that the man who has been jollying himself with the idea that he obtains a champagne flavor from ham cooked in champagne is merely working his imagination overtime and ought to be a war correspondent and not a chef or bon vivant." At five o'clock the hams were cut and about seventy-five persons present partook of the meat, nobody knowing which he ate. The advocate of the champagne-cooked ham was asked to pass judgment. He insisted he could taste a bare flavor of champagne, but admitted that he had not tasted ink. So he decided for himself, and Professor Noack handed Mr. Conger a bill for eight quarts of champagne under the terms of the wager.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. New Orleans, La., Sept. 30.—Ten per- rons are known to be dead and 160 injured and property loss reaching into the millions was caused last night by the most severe gulf storm in the history of the city. A gale with a velocity of eighty-six miles swept the city at 6 o'clock last night, demolish- ing scores of buildings, stripping the roofs from hundreds of other struc- tures and strewing the streets with broken glass and debris, ‘The Mississippi river levees below New Orleans have broken and houses have been washed away.

Convention's Delegates Express Hope In-Our Future. _ Denyer.—The fourth annual con- vention of the Investment Bankers’ Association adjourned with a feeling among the delegates in regard to Denver, Colorado and the West that they had never had before. There were many expressions from former officers and delegates on this subject. Retiring President A. B. Leach, in @ speech at the closing banquet, said: “We shall go back to our homes, we shall go back to other cafions builded by the hand of man—those cafions which we daily toil in on La ‘Salle street, and’ Wall street, and States street; we shall see again the ,mighty whirl of a nation’s commerce, treading its way in that busy hive, but, gentlemen, we shall never see there the glorious sunshine, the wonderful hopefulness that must come into every one when he sees and feels the sunshine and feels the wind and the daylight that we have today. “We shall go back with a fuller ap- ‘preciation of why Western men_al- ‘ways look at things in a broad, great way; we shall go back with the Atmowledge of why Western met are ‘always hopeful; we shall go back with ‘a stronger confidence that whatever may be the doings, whatever may be the prospects, whatever may be the purposes of the great West—we shall have a stronger confidence hecause those projects shall be carried for- ward by men who liye in this—God's country, “We shall go back and have learend what the stories have told us—what the novelists have tried to say—that in this Western land, from the cabin of the miner to the palace of the mil!- Hionaire, its contents are left unlocked. and the visitor, be he friend or stranger, finds all therein to his hand —help himself.” Antery Hearing Set for October 11.

PERRYDILL PICKLES LOA BAY at os OAR ERROR St) eae > ah prac RE found a large motor van turning in at the gates of the next estate, the Willows, Dorothy Masters from her couch hammock on the western terrace caught a glimpse through the trees of the big van as it flashed up the avenue door, “Perrydili's Pickles!” she groaned, in despair, and then, turning to her amiable little mother, who was read- ing near by, Dorothy went on: “Moth- er, dear, Perrydill's Pickles have ar- rived.” “No!” denied Mrs, Masters, in as- tonishment, “I shall never forgive Major Blum for selling the Willows to such impos- sible people,” pursued Mrs. Masters, folding her plump hands on her book. “Why, they say, Dolly, that Mrs. Per- rydill actually began the business by making pickles in her own “kitchen, and it became so profitable that her husband gave up his position, what- ever it was, and helped her. Now they have two immense factories and a number of small ones here and there!” “Fancy!” commented Dolly, wrin- Kling her pretty nose, “You can imagine what they will do to the Willows,” complained Mrs. ‘Masters, as ff it really mattered’ to her, anyway; “paint the house red or green—have iron dogs and deer on the lawn and drive a big red car.” Dorothy laughed. “Don’t worry, mother; perhaps they have exquisite taste, after all—only, somehow, I seem to smell vinegar and pickles every time their name is men- tioned, I wonder if there is a fam. ily?” “A girl, I believe—and your father said there was a very clever son who carried off all honors at college.” “Perhaps Bob knows him.” “Hardly. I hope that Bob won't fall in love with the girl.” Dorothy laughed again. “Don't borrow trouble, mother. It may be that the girl won't look at Brother Bob.” ‘Mrs, Masters bristled. “She is more than likely to notice him, Dolly,” she said, in an offended tone, “Your brother is very hand- some and an extremely fascinating young man.” “Poor Miss Perrydill Pickles!” mocked Dorothy. “I beg your pardon!” said a cool little voice, Mra. Masters and her daughter jumped visibly. Below them on the shaded path stood 4 young girl of striking beauty, albeit her hair-was a rich red and a few golden freckles powdered her ap- ple-blossom complexion. She wore a simple dress of white linen and she carried a white parasol. “T bee your pardon,” she repeated, composedly, “but I am wondering if you wi be so kind as to let me use your telephone? They have not con- nected urs and it is very important that I should talk to New York at once.” ‘Mre, Masters was all cordiality at once. “Ot course,” she cried, rising anil leading the way into’ the house. “Pray make use of it at your pleasure until your own has been installed. Moving is such a bore, isn't it?” “1 think it's rather Yun,” said the girl, furling her parasol and shooting an’odd glance at Dorothy's splendid young figure. “Oh, do you? Just fancy! I'm sure you are Miss Perrydill from the Willows. Yes? Let me introduce you to my daughter Dorothy—I hope we shall see a great deal of each other this summer.” Dorothy added a pretty speech to her mother's, but Lina Perrydill only nodded and said that’ they went out very little—were perfect hermits, in fact. After that. she went into the house with Mrs. Masters, and when she left {t was by another door, so thc’, Doro- thy did not see her again that after- noon. Mrs, Masters came back to the terrace. “Well?” she asked Dorothy. “Pretty as a picture,” said Dorothy, generously. “Poor Bobby!” “Bob hates red hair,” said Bob's mother, “She looks like a little spit- fire.” “Bob likes that kind,” insinuated Dorathy. “1 asked her about the famsly— there's the mother, who has retired from the business—the father, who is head over heels in his pi¢kle yats, I should judge from what she said— and a brother, whom she mentioned casually, We must call as soon as they are settled.” “You yowed you wouldn't, Mother / Masters!” “There is no harm in one call—if they are impossible—why, the ac- quaintance can die out.” ‘Same way about their awful pickles,” said Dorothy, Then she added, “Here comes Bob.” Bob Masters sauntered up the path and mounted the terrace to sink into an extension chair, His straw hat spun dizzily from his fingers to the grass. “It's hot on the water,” he re marked. “Did you ever meet young Perry: dill Pickle?” asked Dorothy. Rob stared and then uttered a, lond laugh. “Is that what you call" him, ‘sis? We called him ‘Dill Pickle’— never minded it at all—fine, good-na- tured chap—awful grind, though.” “They say he carried off the honors of his class,” said Mrs. Masters. “They speak truly, He carried off the honors, all right—away from me and the rest of the fellows, 1 didn't have a look-in on honors—old Dill carried away the whole bunch.” “Then it is quite—possible?” asked ‘Mrs. Masters, with relief in her tones, for the Perrydills were vastly rich and nowadays money did cover a multi tude of sins. Bob roared. “Possible? Old Dill Pickle? Moth- er, dear, wait till you see him!” “I was afraid so,” murmured Mrs. Masters, as she followed Dorothy into the house, The next afternoon Dorothy Mas- ters was walking through the pine wood back of the orchard. When she reached a favorite spot she gathered an armful of pine needles and put them in the Inviting seat formed by five trees springing from a common root. The great trunks were wedged tightly together and formed a curious and natural resting place. Dorothy sat down in the seat, crossed her ankles, leaned back and surveyed the snowy tips of her little shoes. In her lap was a book and in the back of her head was a lazy {dea that she would like to meet the impossible son of the Perrydills—it must be rather stimulating to meet someone who wasn't cut out by the regular college youth yuper pattern. So she thought, and the thoughts ran into. dreams, half-waking, and Dorothy's black eyeiasnes swept her pink-tinted cheeks and she almost slept. When she heard voices she did not trouble to lift her sleepy lids— the speakers would pass behind the trees and never glimpse her hiding place. Besides that, no one but serv: ants would be wandering about the pine wood at this hour, There was a rich smell of tobacco smoke—Papa Masters had forbidden James to touch his cigars, but the footman was daily tempted thereto. Footsteps paused and somebody spoke. It was the crisp voice of Miss Perry- am. “What a charming pose, Roy! Isn't she a perfect dear?” _Another voice—such a vyoice~Doro: ‘Yfiy had heard John Drew and Henry Miller in matinee love scenes, and the voice of the speaker was much more deep and tender than any of these. But the words he uttered! “So this is Miss Masters’ Monarch Mustard!” safd the voice, musingly: “Roy Perrydill!” chided his sister. “If she were not asleap she would hear you.” “As a matter of fact, my dear Lins, the young lady is not asleep at all; she is listening to our compliments.” Dorothy’s eyes flew wide open with indignation. “Tam sound asleep!” she contended, bravely. “I haven't heard a thing you said—except about the mustard.” Both the Perrydills laughed and were instantly sobered as they real- ized that Miss Masters was deeply of- fended it not hurt. Her pretty hands, gay with jewels, were before her love- ly eyes and her shapely shouldera shook convulsively. Lina Perrydill dropped dows on her knees beside the woe-begone figure in the tree chair while her handsome brother growled at his own witless re- marks. “Dear, don’t cry,” soothed Lina, put- ting a slender hand under Dorothy's chin, “We were only in fun and I really believed you were asleep. As for Roy, here—he is incorrigible. Roy, you must beg Miss Masters’ pardon.” “With pleasure,” he was beginning, contritely, when Dorothy’s hands came down and clung tightly to Lina Perry- dill's. But Dorothy was not crying; she was flushed with laughter, and her eyes sparkled merrily. With one graceful movement she was on her feet and shaking hands with Mr, Roy Perrydill. F “It was the ‘Monarch Mustard’ that made me laugh,” she said, with engag- ing frankness, | “I've been calling you the Perrydill Pickles and it is a revel- ation to me to learn that people still connect us with Masters’ Mustard— we've been so snobbish about it, too!” ‘They all laughed then, and the three ERNEST HOWARD, Carpenter, Job and Repair Work.

FOWLER, Jr. You are not aitogether sctisfled with Yourself, with others, with your en vironment, with conditions. Nobody is satistied. Neither you nor anybody oie will ever be completely. satistied, Full satisfaction leads to stagnacion, ‘The satisiied man is a fool, intoxicated With his own satisfaction, never sober enough to do more than stagger along the road of life. ‘The ‘complete optimist is no better than the contented pig in the well-kept sty. Regulated dissatisfaction, dissatis- faction based upon fact, is a forerun- uer of success. + ‘There is, however, a wide gulf be- tween legitimate dissatisfaction and that which consumes the chronic com: plainer, the disreputable knocker, and tho everlasting kicker, Life is made up of alfirmatives and negatives. One without the other is incomplete, The two properly blended are part of the composition of success. ‘The habitual complainer is an enemy to himself, and he is despised by all with whom he comes in contact, He is a failure at the start, and will be a failure as long as he indulges in chronic dissatisfaction Conversely, the complete optimist is dangerous to himself and a menace to society, because he does not know enough to get out of the ruts or to keep from stumbling into holes, Dissatisfaction has a value only when it spurs one on to better effort. When it deadens one's faculties, as it often does, and takes the gimp out of him, so to speak, it is an evil of the most virulent form. Nobody likes the constant complain er. He has no friends. He does not occupy any position of responsibility, and he never will. He cannot manage himself or command others. He has no respect for himself and nobody re- spects him, He is no better than a dead log floating on the stream, accom: plishing nothing and serving only asa menace to navigation Kverybody has troubles, and while every decent man is willing to help others, he cannot afiord to give more than a part of his time to listening to complaints, and he should not give ary of his time to those which are not legitimate ones and which he cannot assist in remedying. Keep your troubles to yourself or confine them to your immediate friends. Ninety per cent of trouble doesn't appear. Lt exists wholly in the mind. Don't make a specialty of worrying There is real trouble to worry about and enough to keep you busy. Kick when there is something rea to kick at.

On the theory that who can add two and two to make four possesses the beginnings of an education, the French Colonial authorities have caused the neat gray school buildings of Tahiti, Society islands, to be em- bellished with an imposing signboard bearing the legend: 2 plus 2 equals 4. Steeped in inherited superstition this simple symbol of erudition is re: garded with reverent awe by the na tive Tahitians. To them it epitomizes the ascendancy of the dominant Gaul. Nude, save for the ubiquitous red and white calico pareu (knee-length skirt), the lithe brown youths and maidens of this tropical paradise pre- sent a grotesque appearance at the modern school desks patiently grap- pling with the three R's, Marvelously quick to learn, these “sons of the sun" are even quicker to forget, and in a majority of cases, atter laborious- ly acquiring an education, they east it aside like an outworn garment and re- turn to the old life of ease in the grassthatched huts under the spread. ing palms. ‘The pomp and circum- stunice attending the opera bou‘te rule of the French colonial “administra: tion” appeals strongly to the native taste, and if the government is lax and ineflicient, the ever lighthearted and childlike islanders find little fault. Dumbasn: Although it is seldom fatal, few dis- eases to which mankind is heir cause more intense suffering than lumbago. It is characterized by severe pains like neuralgia or rheumatism in the small of the back. The trouble centers around what are known as the lumbar vertebrae, ‘The attacks come on and disappear suddenly and are often severe enough to keep the patient in bed, hardly able to move a muscle. Hold-Over. “Why, Tommie, how dirty your hands are for so early in the morn- ing! Have you been out before break- fast? “No, papa, it’s a ‘hold-over;’ I got ‘em dirty last night.” WHEN IT RAINS, LET IT RAIN, It was raining hard, and the wind was driving sheets of water against the window panes, The lecture room was filled. At the appointed hour the professor entered. Mounting the plat- form, he remarked dryly, "Gentiemen, when it rains, let it rain.” Whereupon he immediately left the room. In these few words were both a lec- ture and an object lesson, and the stu: dents never forgot the occurrence. When it rains, let it rain. Why not? If it wants to rain, it will rain, and all the ingenuity of man cannot pre- vent the downfall. If it did not rain Part of the time, the world would tire of sunshine. Contrasts are necessary to progress. The good would not be good if it were not in competition with the bad. Continuous enjoyment breeds stagna tion, Suffering has its place, and so have worry and discouragement. The great navigator, who, in the glory of his power, stands upon the bridge of the ocean greyhound and steers his ship through mountainous waves and the wind of the tornado. would not be happy or satistied pilot. ing a flat boat on a calm and placid river. If the Road of Life were smooth and without handicaps, men would be like animals, without ambition and without incentive to master both them- selves and the conditions in which they found themselves. When it rains, let it rain. Do not be concerned in stopping the rain, but be ever anxious to meet the downpour and to devise means for protecting yourself against it. ‘The brave man, the man who wins in every kind of strife, does not try to get rid of trouble, but, rather, arms himself to meet it. He accepts’ the night as well as the day; he loves te storm as well as the calm; he uses disaster, 1f it must come, as an expe rience of extreme value in the race of his life. He has no patience with |monotony. He {s strenuous as well as cautious, and when he conquers trou ble he is proud of his ability to win No success worth while ever oc curred on a smooth road. Men ot | power reached their positions because their paths were strewn with disaster and they had opportunity to use the ability which Nature gave them and which they developed in dauger as well as in safety. When it rains, let it rain, Don't think of the wet of the rain, but con cern yourself with meeting it, pro |tecting yourself against it. Do not al | low it to wet your ambition or (o soak | your energy. | When it rains, let it rain. When | trouble comes, let it come. When dis je meets you, do not turn your back upon it, but face it like a man. I these things were not necessary for the development of the human race the all-wise Creator would not have permitted them to exist. Learn life's affirmatives by not avoiding its negatives. There would be no atlirmative unless opposite it were a negative. When it rains, let it rain.

N Dellenbaugh, secretary of the Expior- ers’ club, of the discovery of a new tribe of Indians, 1,000 miles from civ. ilization, between the headwaters ot the Cairary and Moju rivers. Mr, Lang gives a picturesque description of the savages, who, he says, toux him for a god, embracing his feet to show their devotion, ‘Their toois, he writes, are of stone, and their ideas so unusual as to suggest their belonging to another age. The Jew- ish cast of their features might lead one to infer that they were of the lost tribes dia not their ignorance ot fron and writing argue against it. “I am sitting in a maloca (hut), writes Mr. Lang, “of a curious tribe of genuine savages, arriving here after taking my sixman canoe above the headwaters of the Cairary and Moju rivers, fighting our way through tive dangerous rapids to get here. After 15 days’ search I got in touch with a virgin tribe, which can be so de- seribed because they are wholly an- touched and unspoiled by civilization, They use stone axes and by their aid have cleared away some 30 acres of jungle, and so blunt are these tools that the trees look as if they had been chewed off,” ‘The Forecast.

The little wretch! I could not have found it in my heart to kill him, even if I had been able to do so. Once, indeed, when his Taube lost {ts balance in the vortex caused by a bursting shrapnel, I could have winged him. But before I had my automatic to my eye he had executed the most grace ful maneuver imaginable, dipping sheer for five hundred yards, so that I could not believe but that he had sustained a mortal wound, and then soaring in spirals back to the hostile lines. We had exchanged salutations, dip- ping the little French and German flags at our bows. We knew each oth- er intimately—in the air. I had long since resolved to take him prisoner if it were possible not to slay him. But this girl, tlis Belgian girl who stood before me—what was I to do? The little devil-of a Boches had been making love to-her! His exploits ter rifled her! She wanted. him safe, a prisoner in the French camp, it nec- essary, but where he could return to her after the war. At first I smiled at her with pity. “Mademoiselle,” I said, “do you not know that they are all philanderers, those Germans? Undoubtedly the lit- te lieutenant has a wife awaiting him at home, perhaps a child—two chil- dren—" 1 was continuing in that strain when she flew out at me like a wild- cat. “It is not so, and I can prove it!” she stormed. “How, then, can you prove it, made- moiselle?” 1 demanded. 1 know that he is a single man, be- cause he told me so himself,” she an- swered.

Some day he will fall and be killed. And everybody says that it is you whom he singles out to do battle in the clouds. Help me, monsieur. Make him a prisoner.” She extracted some sort of a prom- ise from me. But it was more easily said than done. ‘Three days passed before I saw him again. Then one fine morning I per- ceived him, when I was aloft. He was coming straight as an arrow to- ward me, and there was no mistaking that unswerving flight. I dashed to- ward him. During our months of enmity we had established a sort of code. Thus, when he sighted me, the German would rise vertically. dip, and rise again, For my part, I would describe the are of a circle. It was much the flourish that duelists make before they thrust. So, seeing the signal, I turned and began to make my swift glide from south through west to north, calculating that this would bring me face to face with him, How quickly I was undeceived. The German lad risen above me, and, from that height, let fall a bomb. I heard it hissing vast my wings, and saw the little cloud of white smoke rise underneath where it struck. En- raged by this breach“of convention, I covered him with my automatic, and fired, e Naturally, I did not hit him. That one hardly expects to do. However, it struck me as strange, even then, that he did not make his customary reply. What seemed more singular was that the German, instead of en- deavoring to rise above me, wheeled as if to retreat, then, returning, came at me as if he meant to collide with me. ‘ An instant later—bang, bang, bang, bang! He had opened on me with a quick-firer. It was, in fact, a Maxim which he had mounted on his ma- chine. My blood boiled at this unfair, dia- bolical contrivance. He had given Neented ‘The arm of the coat was rent. The wings of my monoplane | were riddied with bullets. My escape had been a miraculous one.

We both rose, and now it was clear that my only chance of overcoming him was to get above him. The mon- oplane ‘would climb faster.- Would it climb higher? That had never been tested. I rose until the earth curved under neath like the round of a ball. As I ascended the Taube seemed .to drop away from me. Soon it was like a little speck far below. I began to circle, waiting the chance to drop a bomb. I meant to make sure of my aim this time. My purpose was for- gotten. My antagonist had ceased to have personality for me; he was sim- ply an enemy aviator whom it was my duty to kill, I watched him through my binoculars as he grew larger. He was almost immediately beneath me, “I would let the bomb fall when.there was no longer danger of missing him. Suddenly, to my dismay, the deadly rattle o: the machine gun began again. I had mot suspected that it was capable of being fired vertically upward. ‘The bullets hissed around me like angry bees. One lashed my j face. One tore my tunic.

I shot past him. with terrifle velocity, and at the same time opened fire with ry automatic again. I swooped back on my ellipse, loading as I flew. But a spurt of fire from the Taube showed me that I had pierced his tank. ‘The fire leaped upward in a dozen tongues. In a moment the biplane was fiercely burning. Against the glare of the flames the head and crouching body of the German were silhouetted like a flend’s. I saw him touch his rudder, and the biplane swooped toward earth. As it fell it blazed up more flercely. The entire hinder part was now a glowing cin- der. Each moment 1 expected to see the Taube buckle and go swoop- ing earthward, to fall, an incinerated’ mass, beneath. He had a wonderful head, that Ger- man. In spite of the hell of flames that surrounded him and raged above him, he dived like a bird, alighting with only the forepart of the machine, as gently as a bird alights, and sprang gracefully to the - ground. ‘There he awaited me with his fists clenched. You see, he was armed only with a Maxim, for he had never anticipated this calamity, and he could not re- move his gun from the burning wreck: age at his side.

Would you believe it? The girl had watched the entire combat trom the half-ruihed farmhouse in which she lived. And at this precise mo- ment I saw her coming toward us across the flats. It was impossible to mistake the gait of youth, the light- ness and joy that seemed to animate her. She saw us and broke into a run. In a few moments she was at our side. “Embrace each other, then, my chil- dren,” J said softly. “Monsieur le lieutenant, I trust you implicitly, 1 am well aware that you will not abuse my confidence.” ‘The girl clung to him, but to my dismay there was no love on her face —only fury. “Now will you pay me for that pair of chickens you stole!” she screamed , gee, PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night a a THE aes a oie £ ) DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING hd COMPANY gifs CONTEE INCORPORATED AND BONDED.
