A Historical Pageant, written by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, was Pre to a Large Audience at Washington, D. C. VOL. XX11. "THE ST ETH A Historical Pageant, written by to a Large Audience a (Special to Colorado Statesman.) All Washington has taken off its hat to the "Star of Ethiopia" and three evenings last week at the American League Park bowed as unrestrainedly to the geuius of DuBois, as did the savage chief in the Pageant, when, falling prostrate before the Thunder, God in the Black Rock, he begs protection for himself and people from the fury of the storm. Nor indeed, are we entirely certain, but that the analogy may prove itself worthy of a more specific application, when the dominant factors in the civic progress of the American Negro shall have been given a just and equitable consideration. Just at present, at all events, the Pageant itself, with its gorgeous dress and jewels of dazzling splendor; its varieties of customs, numerous characters and wealth of properties and the atmosphere of ancient Africa reaching out from pagan temple and savage beast, is the thing of large and absorbing interest to us. The Pageant, being a great folk-play, seeks to portray the vital facts in the life history of a people and this is what the "Star of Ethiopia" does for the Negro people of America. The part of the play that visualizes important incidents and the pathetic story of Negro life during the past three centuries in America, was viewed with absorbing interest by more than 2000 people and vitalized to the younger element, thro a series of artistic dramatic portrayals, the principal features of the great moral and political American tragedy. The cotton-picking scene, appropriately dressed, with its devel-ments of work and play, here even as in old plantation days, the rhthym of tuneful sound prove irresistible to nimble feet and clapping hands, tho the heart was its burden of hopeless sorrow. The martyrdom of John Brown was dramatically portrayed as he rushes from among the slaves with flaming torch and yields up his life as deshes with it at the foot of the cross Black Rock. The Abolitionists are also made to play their part as in quiet garb and becoming dignity they vigorously protest and administer rebuke to the brutal overseers, who stalk about plying the whip among the cowed and unresisting slaves. The great march of Ethiopia now begins with Toussaint and Haytiens and close upon them come the soldiers of the Civil War represented by a battalion of the National Guard of the District keeping step to the inspiring notes of "Marching thro Georgia." The procession of slaves now appears and in their midst is borne aloft the body of John Brown and the chorus giving full and plaintive voice to that touching melody "John Bowns' Body" realized a climax of feeling and enthusiasm, with the vast audience joining in the singing, that is perhaps without its equal. The final action had its central motif in the creation of the "Power of Light" and otherwise portrayed the present day Negro as the modern civilization. Dignified students and professors in cap and gown present and place the foundation-stone "Knowledge; upon this "Labor" is set by the savages from the Congo, thus pointedly suggesting that this may be best performed, when "Knowledge" has prepared the way. The Egyptians lay the stone "Science" and the Mohammedans "Justice." "Art" is the contribution of a hundred dancing girls. The capstone "Love" is furnished by mother Ethiopia, who with the children kneel in prayer, and above all the "Star of Freedom" shines and is supported by the "Tower of Light" Contributing to the general effect may be seen a number of well-known persons of both sexes elegantly attired in evening clothes and stepping with easy grace the stately cadence of the minute. It was just here that the Ghosts of slavery, which all of us are called upon to combat in real life, made their appearance and wildly gesticulating sought to drive them beyond the pale of the New Freedom they were then enjoying. The grand finale, with its artistic groupings and the stirring notes of "Freedom" Miss Nannie Burroughs' great race song, flung far and wide by 200 voices, and the vast throng rising at the command of the graceful and eloquent "Herald," who announces the "Play is Done!" "The Play is Done!" complete a series of pictures, which in a pleasing tho ser- DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1915 State Hist & Nat Hist Boosts State House ANTS WHO ADC E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO S ious way, gripped the heart strings of thousands and made for themselves a permanent place among the treasures of memory. And what shall we say of him, who with infinite care and unflagging industry has achieved this master stroke and accomplished so many other things that make for civic righteousness as well as Negro progress?

Washington and a few like-minded, farsighted colored men, the northern Negro will better understand his southern brother, and the southern Negro will appreciate, even more fully than he has done, how much the South offers him in the form of opportunity to do something worth while, and to become somebody in the life of his community. Out of this better understanding there must come to the race more respect for itself, a greater degree of confidence, a growing determination, especially on the part of young men and women, to begin at once to improve their economic condition by practicing greater thrift, pushing out into new fields of business activity, and becoming more efficient in their everyday business operations. Seven hundred delegates came together from thirty states, including the District of Columbia. Here were some of the most prosperous members of the Negro race. Yesterday many of them were not only poor in a worldly sense, but they were without any influence for progress in their home communities. Many of these same delegates were hopeless fifteen years ago, so far as thinking that they could succeed in business. The way to economic independence, however, was lighted for them by the National Negro Business league. As men without education and property, they exerted little constructive influence either on their black or white neighbors Today how different is all this! The heart-throbbing stories of uphill climb through long years of sacrifice, work and faith, which were told with directness, simplicity and sincerity, under a fire of incisive questions from Doctor Washington and others, would make even the critical and hard-headed citizen marvel at the Negro's rare progress during the fifty years of his freedom, and especially during the last ten or fifteen years, during which time the pace in business has quickened and competition has become keener. Surely a silent revolution has taken place among American Negroes. Some men in congress, years ago, honestly supposed that Negroes would always have to be fed, clothed and sheltered. They were not able to look beyond the days of reconstruction. Today, however, ex-slaves and their children, in many instances, are powerful landlords, rich merchants, level-headed bankers and important community builders. Today the American Negro is a real asset. Today the best white people of the South are thinking of the Negro as a man and are saying it out loud. They realize that education does help to improve the Negro. The National Negro Business league does not claim all the honor of bringing about the splendid transformation which means, for racial understanding and good will, much more to the white citizen of the nation than it does to the millions of colored people. The league has endeavored, however, to encourage Negroes to go into business, apply to their work the highest standards, and depend for patronage not on any color-line appeal but solely on merit. The league through its annual meetings has been a rare inspirational force. It has discovered human beings and has opened the way for the young, the discouraged or the inexperienced, to catch a vision of what real In a sermon that he preached nearly forty years ago in Plymouth church, Henry Ward Beecher declared that one of the influences that had most strangely shaped his life and character was that of an old colored man, Charles Smith, who worked as a hired man on his father's farm when he was a small boy, the Youth's Companion states. "He did not try to influence me; he did not know that he did it; I did not know it until a great while afterward. He used to lie on his humble bed (I slept in the same room with him) and read his Testament, unconscious that I was in the room, and he would talk about what he had read, and chuckle over it, in that peculiar, unctuous throat tone that belongs to his race. I never had heard the Bible really read before; but there, in my presence, he read it and talked about it to himself and to God. He turned the New Testament into living forms right before me. It was a revelation and an impulse to me." But for the little lad ten years old, who listened, first curiously, then At the twelfth annual meeting of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools emphasis was placed on the need for training the Negro vocationally. It was urged that this training should result in really skilled mechanics and well-prepared farmers. The United States does more to stock its inland waters with edible fish than any other nation. Overtalk tires more people than overwork. success in business means, and how that vision may be fully, if painfully, realized. The league's real work, however, is carried on silently and efficiently through its executive officers who help to organize local business leagues; keep alive the existing leagues, 600 in number; administer the necessary tonic for those leagues that seem ready to faint away; offer helpful suggestions to merchants for reaching available Negro customers and for securing better business methods, and keep, through the press, the best interests of the Negro in business before the American public. Doctor Washington summed up the progress of Negroes in business and indicated that hundreds of thousands of opportunities in business await Negroes who are ready to grasp and capitalize them. That the Negro in business must pay the price of success Doctor Washington frankly admits. That the South is clearly the field for the Negro to make his greatest gains is evident from the testimony of Negroes from the North and the South, as well as from such Southerners as the Rev. Dr. John E. White of Atlanta, Ga., and Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., president of the Jeanes fund and director of the Slater fund. That Negroes in business, especially the women, are going ahead with a tremendous stride and are meeting with the co-operation of the best white people everywhere should prove encouraging even to those who are inclined to be pessimistic over segregation legislation, lynching and other handicaps.—William Anthony Aery, in Chicago Daily News. There live in Birmingham today many families of Negroes who have been our family friends always, and as we go to their homes we find pictures of "the old white folks" hung conspicuously on their walls, writes Mrs. J. B. Reid in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. These remind us that the true type of Negro stands by his white friends today, and the whites value that respect and that friendship as a token of justice one to the other. Wherever we can help each other we are only creating a better world, and that is what progress is working for today. The Negro is striving to make his share of it better like the rest of us. Their homes have a peculiar advantage, and they are availing themselves of the privilege. As they serve in the homes of the white people they catch the phase of life that teaches homemaking; they have the opportunity to study home arrangement, housekeeping economy and good cooking, and the ambitious class is taking these lessons home with them, and are making themselves more comfortable, more cleanly and more healthy, thus better citizens. The Negro teachers are preparing for better service among the parents and children of their race. Booker T. Washington, the leader of the race, is ever on the alert to give opportunity, and in so doing is conserving the interest of both races. The entire plant of a Pennsylvania asphalt block manufacturing concern is mounted on freight cars so that it can be taken wherever there is work for it to do. Unrequited love is one brand of heart failure. But it's never fatal. thoughtfully, to the poor old Negro's devout reading of the Bible, the name of Charles Smith would never have been mentioned beyond his own narrow circle. It is probable that his emotional religion was sometimes actually ridiculed by those who knew him. Had Charles Smith been told that he would bear an influential part in making one of the most famous of American preachers, that his name would be mentioned with reverence in one of the greatest of American churches, and be revived for praise and commendation after forty years, such a result would have seemed to his simple mind quite incredible. It is not unlikely, either, that some humble, unpretending Christian was cheered and encouraged by Mr. Beecher's recital of the incident that day, and that new impulses were started, quite as important and far-reaching as the original one. To many readers of these lines, too, the story will come with a fresh suggestiveness, and the simple faith of a plain, unlettered man may thus influence other lives that Charles Smith never could have dreamed of touching. Forestry experts have found that a plant growing luxuriantly in the Philippines and heretofore regarded as a weed is used in other parts of the far East for the production of camphor. The ostrich has the distinction of laying the largest egg. The egg, which weighs about three pounds, is considered equal in contents to 24 hen eggs.

Will Raise $774,000 Against $787,325 in 1914, the Decrease Being Due to Surplus in Treasury. Denver.—That the state tax levy this year will be about 2.04 mills was the opinion of the members of the state board of equalization, which met in executive session with the state tax commission in an attempt to reach an agreement on state assessed valuations and the probable needs of the coming year. Last year's levy was 1.39 mills. Figuring on a basis of the same valuation and the same general needs as last year, the levy would have to be 2.01825 mills to take care of the special appropriations. But with the lower assessed valuation of the state, the members of the board figure it will run up to 2.04. State Auditor Mulnix estimated that the revenue from the mill levy would have to be about $774,000, as compared with $787,325 last year. The decrease is due to a surplus of $31,539 left over after paying out last year's appropriations. The valuation of the state this year is $61,209,446 less than last year. This more than counteracts the decrease in special appropriations and the surplus from last year. Increased revenues from various state offices in fees, etc., tend to act as a balance wheel. The hearing of complaints from persons and companies taxed has come to an end. Denver Faces Big Tax Rate Boost Denver.—The annual city budget to cover appropriations to finance all departments of the city government for the year 1916 is due to be presented to the city council on the first Monday in November and at this time many city officials are preplexed to find a means to cover a deficit in the funds available that seems to be apparent at this time. According to estimates the city and county will lose approximately $300,000 on liquor licenses. $200,000 must be set aside for payment into the state good roads fund and about $55,000 must be set aside to pay interest on the bonds that are pledged for the payment of the Antero reservoir and Highline ditch. This makes a total of $555,000. This sum must be raised either by general taxation or the imposition of special licenses. Or else the expenses of the various departments for the year must be reduced a like amount. The significance of this is pointed out by the fact that if the money is raised by general taxation a man who pays taxes will probably find his assessment increased by 25 per cent over what was asked last year. Fire Season Below Normal. Denver.—The heavy rains and light snows which have fallen throughout the national forests in the central Rocky Mountain region have brought the local 1915 forest fire season to a close. It is expected by forestry officials that small fires may be reported until the heavy winter snows set in, but general conditions through out this locality now indicate that the season of serious fires is over. Since the season opened in the spring, 246 fires covering about 3,900 acres of forest lands occurred in the national forests under the jurisdiction of the Denver office. Of this number, 214 were confined to areas les than ten acres each, and 138 to less than one-fourth acre. The season's cost for fire fighting to date has been approximately $16,000. Suffragists With State Jobs Ousted. Denver.—Mrs. Dora Phelps Buell president, and Mrs. Louise Mellen, assistant recording secretary, were deposed from office when the Colorado Equal Suffrage Association voted to bar from office in the association any woman who occupies a place in the federal, state or city service. Mrs. Buell and Mrs. Mellen are employed in the office of Secretary of State Ramer. Can't Compel Board to Explain. Denver—The state tax commission cannot be compelled to make known the methods or rule followed by it in ordering a $55,000,000 raise in the assessed valuation of Denver property, according to the position taken by Attorney General Farrar in his capacity as a member and counsel for the state board of equalization. Brakeman Asks $31,900 for Accident Brakeman Asks $1,900 for Accident. Denver - Francis J. Mullen has filed suit in the District Court under the fellow servants' act, against the Denver & Salt Lake Railroad Company, to recover $31,900 damages for the loss of his leg and other personal injuries. Bulger Bequeaths Guns to Warden. Denver.—Col. James C. Bulger, condemned to die the week of Oct. 31, for the slaying of Lloyd F. Nicodemus, in the Savoy hotel notified the State Supreme Court that he has bequeathed to Warden John Murphy of the county jail the two new SS-calliber Colt's revolvers he carried the afternoon of May 7, 1914, the day of the killing. The letter was written in pencil and came from the death cell at Cañon City. It is probable that an order ALLIES OFFER TO CEDE CYPRUS ENGLAND HAS DISPATCHED AN ULTIMATUM TO GREEK RULER. RIGA ABOUT TO FALL SOFIA FORCES ARE MASSED ALONG THE RUMANIAN BORDER. London, Oct. 21.—Greece must define her position. This is the text of a dispatch to the Daily Mall which says an ultimatum has been sent to the Hellenic ruler by the allies. The ultimatum curtly informs the Athens government that the Greeks must make their decision at once, according to the correspondent. Great Britain has made a formal offer of the island of Cyprus to Greece as soon as the latter nation undertakes to intervene on the side of the allies. The Daily Telegraph made the announcement. That Rumania is feeling her way toward intervention on the side of the allies is indicated by a dispatch from Odessa which announces that the Rumanian government is sending to France a mission with the son of Gen. Guatenano at its head. This mission will visit Petrograd on its way to France. From Russia comes the news that Riga is about to fall. The Germans under von Hindenburg have reached the river Dvina. Great guns are pounding the Russian seaport and the Russians admit the situation is desperate. Only the military are in the city, the civilian population having fled. There is talk of evacuation of the city in the highest Russian military circles. British military experts admit that unless the Russians by some coup divert the attention of the German army under von Hindenburg they must evacuate the city to save the garrison from capture. The offer of the island of Cyprus to Greece by the British is taken as an admission that aid in the Balkans is sorely needed. In the meantime French and British forces are being landed, in large numbers, at Saloniki. Some of these have been engaged with the Bulgarians, but the greatest effort of France and England apparently is to concentrate sufficient troops at strategic points and along the line of defense to make their service count. Battles south of Riga, where the Germans have made some progress in the new thrust at the Baltic province port, and in Volhynia and Galicia, where the Russians have gained rather important victories, are now competing in interest with the operations in the Balkans. The Germans have concentrated very large forces with a great amount of artillery, south of Riga, and as a result a stubborn battle has been in progress for several days. The Russian government is preparing for the early issue of an internal loan of $500,000,000. MEXICANS CHEER ALL NIGHT Fireworks, Whistles, Music and Huzzas for Wilson Mark Recognition. Mexico City.—Formal recognition by the United States of the de facto Carranza government resulted in all the morning newspapers of Mexico City being printed in American colors and containing extremely laudatory articles on President Wilson and the American nation. On all sides and in all circles, cheers and praise for the American executive and for the people were heard. Enthusiasm over the recognition of the Carranza government is growing and the feeling of pessimism long prevalent is everywhere being supplemented by one of hope for the future. A cablegram described scenes of rejoicing in Mexico City over Carranza's recognition. It said: "Every species of noise making signalized the triumph of the cause of constitutional government. Bells were rung, whistles tooted, rifles cracked, pistols banged and cannons roared. The season of good feeling and happiness was the source of great gratification to the foreign residents of the city, most particularly the Americans." President Names Three Postmasters. Washington.—Samuel G. Hudson was appointed postmaster of Lincoln, Neb. His selection was urged by William J. Bryan. President Wilson also appointed A. J. Killner postmaster at Mason City, Iowa, and James E. Hanley at Cripple Creek, Colo. Embargo Applies to Villa. Washington—President Wilson issued simultaneously a proclamation establishing an embargo on the shipment of arms and ammunition to Mexico and an order excepting from the prohibition the recognized de facto government of which Gen. Carranza is chief executive. The proclamation makes it clear that the United States intends that no forces opposed to the recognized government in Mexico, particularly those of Gen. Villa, shall obtain war munitions from this country.

From the amount of business being transacted at the Denver Union stockyards it is evident that Colorado's wave of prosperity has begun, and this finds a formidable ally in the increased acreage of sugar beets in Eastern Colorado. Receipts for the last week at the stockyards amounted to $2,060,000. For three days this week receipts were $2,263,000. The greater percentage of this amount is left in Colorado, the same happening in the case of the products of Eastern Colorado. The foregoing necessarily results from combined action and harmony among the merchants, and the members of the negro race ought to profit by this exhibition of Unity which brings the strength of millions. While we cannot boast of doing business in such large proportions, yet, if the business element among us would endeavor to cooperate there is every possibility of our sharing in the prosperity that seems to be knocking at our doors. Such good examples as presented to us ought to be our guidance, and lend inspiration to follow in the wake of experienced and matured business men who are generally successful in their undertakings. If we are to be copyists and imitators, let us be in things that will benefit us permanently and ameriate existing conditions. THE REAL AND THE UNREAL The old and tried expression of "catching at the shadow and letting go the substance" can be well applied to some of the members of our race who desire to be praised, boosted and carried to the highest when they fill assumed role of greatness. No one would deny support and encouragement to sincere, honest, judicious and determined efforts on the part of our people to achieve standards which would be of lasting credit to them, but to commend them for falsity of action or upholding their unreal position is by far more injurious to the Negro in the long run than a prompt condemnation would be from the start. We haven't to go far for evidence of this class of people who, because of partial success in deceiving a certain element become conceited and by indulging in their tenacity to the shadow lose the substance, as in our very midst there are people who go so far as to even FAKE IN POLITICS. In coming in contact with political characters in Denver we have gathered the greatest experience which actually puzzles or beats our comprehension, as they change or shift their creed or faith, as often as the sands of the desert when blown by various winds. These fakers generally get some information as to the trend of political affairs and then endeavor to work on all sides or for a number of candidates for the same position. Their imagination furnishes them with proof of success to some appointment, which, if they fail to achieve results in unmasking them as they are ready to denounce everyone that approaches them. Such persons when discovered should be publicly condemned, as the stumbling blocks they are in the way of others who are real, earnest and upright are to a great extent insurmountable. Extravagant Pretensions. Lavishing and unnecessary expenditure in acquiring luxuries, having strained social functions by way of imitation of the other race form another evidence of our unreal position, as the same is far out of keeping with the character of our homes and the amount of our incomes. While we are not attempting to dictate to any individual how much pleasure they should have or how much money should be spent, yet when we consider the money wasted for useless pastimes we are safe in saying that it could be employed with far greater benefit in the furtherance of needed improvement and betterment to the race. Unfortunately many of our educational institutions, churches, secret societies, etc., lend directly or indirectly encouragement to this weakness of the race, which expresses itself in so great an assumption and display. Undeserved flattery exhibits itself, and being duped by these unusual activities the terrible result of antagonism among us is sure to follow. The Effect. Men and women of real worth and merit must always clash with these pretenders, and while they are endeavouring to overthrow them they are exposed to the disadvantage that comes from the other side, making our burden heavier and impeding our progress. Realizing therefore this effect upon those who strive after the real and right cause, we ought to set higher standards, nobler ideals and entertain better ideas so that we compare favorably with other people, and restrain ourselves from those indulgences that not only place us in a false position, but subject us to be jeered, taunted and become the laughing stock of others. It does seem that "training children for war or peace" would settle the question for future generations at least. Before the child can talk or walk we are much concerned in Training Children for Peace or War By J. F. WRIGHT, Detroit, Mich. It does seem that "training children for war or peace" would settle the question for future generations at least. Before the child can talk or walk we are much concerned in teaching it one of nature's most important laws operating in the material world, when we teach it that fire will burn, and, notwithstanding, many children require proof of a more or less positive nature before the lesson is stored in their subconscious mind as knowledge and experience, it generally lasts them a lifetime. As soon as they can run and play with other children they make use of another one of nature's laws, when they throw a cup of water up into the air and say: "What goes up must come down, on the heads or on the ground." Why not follow up this kindergarten start so well made, teaching them that by this same law of compensation ruling the universe the planets are held so true to their courses that astronomers are able to tell us the hour some star or comet will be visible, though it may be hundreds of years traveling toward this earth at the rate of millions of miles each hour? When children are taught that there is no escape from the rewards or penalties of this law, they will recognize hate, anger, fear, jealousy, revenge and "getting even" as destructive forces to be avoided the same as fire, and will understand that "war is hell." Too long have we educated the outer child at the expense of the inner child, teaching our boy that dignified labor was better represented in the boiled shirt and creased trousers than in the jumper and overalls, that his value to mankind would be measured by the number of men he could control, rather than by the number he might lift up, and his success in life would be determined by the acres of land and interest-bearing bonds he might leave, rather than the number of mourners and aching hearts. Too long have we taught our girls that their value to mankind would be measured by the variety of tunes they could play on the piano in the parlor, rather than by the variety of tunes they could play on the tin pans in the kitchen, and their success in life would be determined by their standing in society rather than in the home as wife and mother. "More haste, less speed," is a venderable warning against misapplied energy. Our daily round gives constant reason to consider the value of rational, well-directed activity as opposed "More haste, less speed," is a venerable warning against misapplied energy. Our daily round gives constant reason to consider the value of rational, well-directed activity as opposed to spurts of action. The average city dweller, regardless of years, is apt to scurry about as if life depended upon his catching a particular train or trolley. Rushing to and fro with small consideration for those who impede his progress, he will risk life and limb to cross a street thirty seconds sooner and then gaze in a shop window for ten minutes. All this is extremely wearing on the nervous system and physically exhausting. It easily becomes a habit and if continued leads to loss of personal efficiency. A certain degree of deliberation usually insures more thoughtful and effective action and is better from the health standpoint. To progress at moderate speed with due consideration for other people's "rights of the road" results in benefits of no small value. Your physical machinery is far more likely to meet emergencies successfully if it is not continually running on high gear. Then, too, there is much in our daily round which he who runs may read. If we are to live rationally and think broadly it is well to make one's progress through life at a moderate pace. Your scurrying busybody is selfish even though it be unintentional. To have an eye for other people's desires and ambitions and a consideration for their ideals may help us to achieve our own. To live peacefully and happily aids materially in maintaining our physical health. Progress is not necessarily measured by rapidity of action; consider the squirrel in the revolving cage. Ill effects from sleeping in the open in all kinds of weather are as marked in the adult as in the child. Persons who at night have the extreme fresh-air habit often are obliged to spend Ill Effects from Sleeping in Open Air By J. P. Wasserman, San Francisco, Cal. Ill effects from sleeping in the open in all kinds of weather are as marked in the adult as in the child. Persons who at night have the extreme fresh-air habit often are obliged to spend their days in close offices, or in badly ventilated and overheated rooms; they wonder why the nose is usually closed and breathing difficult. When one sleeps the circulation is at its lowest ebb. The body is recumbent, and during respiration the nasal mucous membrane and the turbinial tissue hypertrophy in order to warm the abnormally cold, damp air. After a time the swelling becomes permanent, and a chronic passive congestion and a hypertrophic rhinitis (chronic catarrh) results. We should have plenty of fresh air, but it is not necessary to sleep in a wind to get it. The head should be protected from drafts and a pillow used. Our forefathers used pillows, and high ones; it is to be remembered that they had fine figures and flat backs. It should be remembered, also, that sleeping in the recumbent position, like standing in the erect one, is a human trait of comparatively recent development. Our remote ancestors, living in the open, or lurking about in caves, slept mostly in the sitting posture, just as the bushmen and the apes do at present. When, therefore, the habit of sleeping in the prone position was required, certain marked physiological changes must have taken place, particularly changes in the circulation in the head. We are paying the penalty of these changes in catarrh, earaches, deafness and a dozen other maladies unknown to our remote ancestors. One of Worst Types Goes Unnoticed By Anna B. Moorehead, Evanston, Ill. One of Worst Types Goes Unnoticed By Anna B. Moorehead, Evanston, Ill. I observe that one of the worst types has failed of notice by recent writers. I mean the neighborhood gossiper. Usually women of this type can be found in every neighborhood and their chief aim in life is carrying from one house to another stories which they know to be malicious lies. They tell the same stories to any person who is foolish enough to stand on street corners and listen to them. The gossip's own home is the center of disorder and discontent. Her children are neglected and the result is that her whole family is made to suffer. So she goes on from day to day, spreading her stories about neighbors who happen not to agree with her or who criticize her ill-mannered children. Yet I have met just such women who pose as very religious persons. Women of this type should learn that if they can't say anything good about their neighbors, at least they should tell the truth and not make a mountain out of a molehill. There are none of us who could not stand a little improvement. CASSELL BROS.

Strange things happen in this world. The greatest dealer in mules in the United States was killed in an automobile accident. Think of a man having to do with mules for forty years and coming out unscathed only to be whirled to glory by a pinhead chauffeur.—Houston Post A man met another, and while not remembering who he was, but feeling certain that he was acquainted with him, held out his hand and said: "I am sure I have met you somewhere." "No doubt," was the reply. "I have been there often." Strange things happen in this world. The greatest dealer in mules in the United States was killed in an automobile accident.

Very commendable, Leslie, and a very good lesson for other employés. THE BURLINGTON RAILROAD. It is well known by the general public that the Burlington railroad has always been favorable to the colored men, hundreds of them being employed as cooks, waiters and trainmen, and these employés are making good. During the past week several of the high officials were in the city, and ye scribe met the following-named gentlemen: J. Henry Turner, chef, and J. R. Ellet, waiter, of Chicago; Henry L.

Mr Ward is a former resident of Cheyenne but is now residing in Omaha. He is an ex-soldier of the Spanish-American war; has an excellent education, and is a very interesting character. With him was E. L. Falling, a very pleasant young gentleman who hails from Omaha. These gentlemen all left the city Sunday evening for the West on a general inspection trip. SAM LANGFORD WINS FROM JIM JOHNSON. Well-Earned Decision in 15 Rounds One of the hardest-fought pugilistic encounters ever witnessed in Denver for a long time took place at the National Athletic Club last Monday evening, when Sam Langford was given a well-earned decision over Battling Jim Johnson in a fifteen-round bout. Langford, although weighing about forty pounds less than his opponent, who is said to be the greatest giant ever entering a boxing ring, had the better of the first twelve rounds and finished up in such a manner as to merit the praise and applause of the crowd. The semi-wind-up between Kid Bruce of Trinidad and Knockout Brown of Denver resulted in Brown's knockout in the fourth round. THE MAY COMPANY.

Just as comfortable as it looks to be and of exceptional style, the graceful coat shown in the picture is of battleship gray plush with trimmings of seal plush. Following the vogue in fur coats, the buttons are very large and covered with plush like that in the body of the coat. Everything in the design bespeaks an ample supply of the handsome fabric used. The waist portion is full and gathered in at the belt line. The skirt part is cut to flare and arranged to fall in godets about the figure. It falls to within six inches of the bottom of the dress skirt. The wide, flaring collar may be rolled up close about the neck or turned down, and the cuffs like it are wide and full. A big cable cord covered with the plush, conceals the joining of the waist and skirt at the belt line. It terminates in a long loop at the front which fastens over a button. A similar loop and button form the Fashionable Neckwe "The simple quaker collar of organdie, and the soft, pretty fichu of batiste are just now enjoying a high tide of favor. There is something demure and fine about them, with their little sprays of embroidery, neat hemstitching or insertions and edging of narrow lace. They add a touch of quaint and restful style to the frock that is simply made and are almost always becoming. But the very thin woman must think twice before adopting her neckwear, no matter how appealing and fashionable it may be. The angular figure is much improved by styles that are high, at the back and sides anyway, and those that have very narrow "V" shaped openings at the front, or others that are high all around. Of the former styles there are many good examples and one of them is shown in the picture above. This collar consists of a double band of organdie, having a more or less high turnover collar about the neck and a pretty graduated ruffle at neck fastening and two of the large buttons are placed at the back of the coat on the belt line. The heavy cuff is attached to the sleeve under a single big button. The straight, ample coatsleeves are set into the arm's-eye without fullness. A coat of this description, like a fur coat, is suited to all kinds of wear. It is a handsome garment, much more durable than ordinary fur, and its appearance is little affected by weather or wear. If one must choose between a coat made of this or a similar fabric, and a cheap fur, the plush coat is the better choice. Designers, working with these new and beautiful fur-fabrics, are making some original and very beautiful garments. Their aim seems to be not to imitate the coat made of skins but to equal or exceed it in richness and elegance of appearance. That is, designers are working with reference to the fabric and thinking in terms of plush with wonderful results. ar in Many Designs each side. The ruffle is edged with narrow cluny lace, and tiny pearl buttons are added to the band at one side by way of further decoration. This collar fills out the slender neck and at the same time sets close to it. The ruffles also improve a flat chest and add the charm of daintiness and freshness which it is the part of organdie and lace to play. Many new collars have been designed for the holidays and among them everyone may expect to find a collar adapted to her own style. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. A Novelty. The sword cord is the latest dress accessory. It passes around the waist and two knotted ends, usually ornamented with tassels, fall over the skirt. There is more and more tendency to do away with girdles and sashes, in behalf of new princess effects, but the sword cord defines a slender waist line prettily and gives a graceful trimming for a single frock. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFTAIRS Plans for New Public Buildings Are Deferred WASHINGTON.—The long-pending plans for construction of new buildings for the state, justice and commerce departments, south of Pennsylvania avenue, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets northwest will not be departments now occupy leased buildings. The two former have complained about their inadequate quarters. The commerce department arranged with private capitalists to erect its present home on a five-year lease at an annual rental of $65,000. The tract south of Pennsylvania avenue, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, was bought by congress a few years ago with the announced intention of putting up buildings for three departments. Steps to appropriate for them fell through, however, and since then some of the properties on the tract have been leased by the government by the year. Lock and Key of Peking Interested These Two Lock and Key of Peking Interested These Two TWO young Chinese men stood before a glass case over at the museum. That the exhibit on its lower shelf had caught the interest of the two was evident from their suppressed excitement of speech and the care with which one of them copied the information on the accompanying card. card: "Lock and key to the city gate of Peking, known as the front gate, directly opposite the emperor's palace. This gate was taken by the United States marines, August 14, 1900. In the spring of 1900 the perilous situation of the members of the American legation at Peking, and their complete isolation in the midst of a murderous population demanded prompt action for their relief. The commandant, division of the Philippines, was instructed by cable, June 6, 1900, to send at once a regiment of infantry to Taku, and Maj. Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, U. S. V., was selected to command—" "Please move so's we can see." The person who had been reading the card made way for a heavy-shouldered, double-chinned, big-waisted young woman in silver-gray crumpled from travel, and freak white shoes that bulged over at the sides like raised dough. And she was clinging to an undersized and obvious bridegroom. When she saw what there was to see the young lady elephant said to her undersized one—with an artless disregard of the fact that other people have ears: "Lordy, Jim; I thought it musterben somethin' worth lookin' at the way that woman was starin'—comerlong." To them the lock and key of the city gate of Peking was only so much rusty, time-gnawed iron. So, naturally, they turned to metal more attractive. And when the case was clear the Chinese men returned. New Air Fighting Gun That Shoots Both Ways New Air Fighting Gun That Shoots Both Ways A NEW air-fighting gun is undergoing experimental trial by the aviation corps of the United States navy department. It is the invention of Commander Cieland Davis, U. S. N., and fires a 15-pound shell carrying about is introduced. In the rear part of the cartridge are packed 15 rounds of buckshot, between which and the projectile is the firing charge of smokeless gunpowder. When the shell is discharged at the muzzle the buckshot is simultaneously thrown out at the butt end of the tube, which is of the same diameter throughout its length. The buckshot, needless to say, is not meant to do the adversary any damage. Its discharge merely serves to take up the recoil of the weapon. This, up to the present time, has been the principal difficulty encountered in efforts to solve the problem of the aeroplane gun. To fire large explosive projectiles from a flying machine has seemed impracticable because the recoil of the gun would upset the delicate balance of the warplane, imperilling its safety and that of its navigator. It is for this reason that nowadays no more formidable weapons than light machine guns, weighing about 20 pounds and firing ordinary rifle bullets, are installed on the armored aeros. Why They Cheered Transfer of George E. Downey CHEERS on the transfer of George E. Downey from the post of comptroller of the treasury to a place on the court of claims arose from at least one department in which Downey bad curtailed expense accounts that were de sequences when it declined to honor the bill. Under the law of the United this officer was entitled to this allowance; under the law of common sense Downey put his foot down. "This is only one of almost a thousand instances demonstrating the negligence, carlessness and recklessness with which congresses pass laws, especially under the army, navy and other appropriation bills," said an official of the comptroller's office. Also it is said to be "very customary" for an army officer to rent a house tor, say, $40 and charge the government the maximum of $60, allowed him for his quarters, white some officers' wives are said to rent houses from the real owners and in turn lease them to the government at a higher rate for their own families' occupancy. Many other irregularities also have been exposed under the Downey regime. So now the alleged beneficiaries of the reported irregularities have been the departure of Downey.

At first sight the exhibit looked like a cistern pump of old and rusty iron, and lying by it another piece of the same ancient metal that might be a sort of lever, say, about three feet long. Its dramatic interest for the Orientalis lay in the printing on the card: "Lock and key to the city gate rectly opposite the emperor's palace. States marines, August 14, 1900.

In some instances, it is admitted in the comptroller's office, the apparent "graft" was perfectly regular under the law, but even in these Downey held it to be illegitimate and declined to approve vouchers which technically seemed to be correct.

Word has gone out to the heads of these departments that congress will not be asked to appropriate for federal construction before 1917. The reason for this postponement is economy at a time when the treasury is in a depleted condition, together with the prospect that congress will be asked to appropriate for the national defense.

In recent years a number of causes have contributed to diminish the numbers of the migratory game birds to such an extent that vigorous measures are necessary to prevent their total extermination. The federal government has therefore supplemented the various state laws with regulations which are given below. Shorebirds in particular—including snipe, woodcock, curlew, avocet, plover, yellow-legs and sandpipers or "peeps"—have suffered from persecution. As late as the seventies these birds were found in vast numbers not only on the sea coasts and near the Great Lakes but even on the prairies. Since then, however, they have been slaughtered mercilessly. One man in Louisiana, for example, killed in the course of twenty years 69,087 snipe, an average of 3,500 birds a winter. On one December day in 1875 he shot 265 The Wilson snipe—usually referred to simply as snipe—offer perhaps the best sport of any of the smaller birds. They are, however, decreasing so rapidly that snipe shooting, like buffalo hunting, is likely to be a thing of the past, if adequate protection is not afforded. The chief cause for the decrease is undoubtedly winter shooting in the southern part of the United States, where the snipe spend approximately six months. The birds nest principally in Canada, though a few breed as far south as the latitude of New York city. In September and October they move southward toward the Gulf of Mexico, offering excellent shooting to sportsmen in some of the territory through which they pass. In the northern states nature provides in this way a natural limit to the open season, which usually does not exceed six or seven weeks. In the wintering grounds of the South, however, there is no such natural protection and the birds are continuously exposed to slaughter. The extent of this slaughter in the past has already been indicated. To put a stop to this in the future and to provide, with adequate protection for the birds, equal opportunities for sportsmen in all sections is one object of the federal regulations. Spring shooting is absolutely prohibited because of the waste involved in killing birds on their way to the breeding grounds in Canada, where they are fully protected. If allowed to reach these grounds unmolested they will return six months later with their numbers increased from 50 to 100 per cent. Next to the grenie, the woodcock is Newspaper Man a Little Uncertain as to the Kind of Caretaker He Had Run Into. "I can't tell exactly what I've struck in the janitor line this time," remarked a newspaper man whose janitors change every few weeks. "I haven't been able to place him yet. I haven't sorted him out, in other words. Last night I said to him when he came up for the waste paper: 'I wish you'd ask those people on the other side of this floor not to put out their milk bottles early in the morning to stay out all day in the hall. If there's anything that gets on my nerves, it is this having to walk through an avenue of milk bottles to get to the elevator.' Then he looked me straight in the face and began to talk like this: 'The plaintive thing about this situation,' he said, 'is that after I have given vent to a round of philippics to these people in the various flats. I find that they have failed to comprehend a word that I have uttered.' Now, what is it? A cross between a Harvard graduate doing the East side in the garb of a janitor and a Webster's unabridged out for a lark, or what?"—New York Letter to the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Hired Man's Accomplishment "I recently noticed in the Chaperon department, which I usually read on rainy days," said the Old Codger, "an interesting item about one Edward Shaftesbury and his rules for sitting. According to him there are 36 varieties of sitting, not including sitting up with a sick lodge brother, sitting on the jury, on eggs, or on anybody whom the coroner is viewing. You may be surprised to know that there are so many ways of sitting, but I wasn't. You see, I employ a hired man."—Kansas City Star. ESKIMO CURLEW. the most important of the shore birds. With reasonable protection the woodcock will thrive even in a thickly settled country, and as it does no harm to agriculture there is no reason why it should not remain indefinitely available for sport. It has, however, been seriously threatened by two factors—winter storms and summer shooting. The birds winter as far north as they can find unfrozen ground. In consequence a severe cold wave is likely to reduce them to starvation and drive them into places where they can be slaughtered unmercifully. In 1892, for instance, a gale that swept the coast of South Carolina drove them in thousands into the streets of one village, where fully two thousand were killed in one day. The shooting of mated birds in spring and the massacre of young ones in summer have contributed to bring the woodcock to the verge of extermination. The Eskimo curlew affords an excellent object lesson of the ease with which a species once abundant can be actually exterminated. On the prairies west of the Mississippi vast flocks on their way to Labrador were formerly a common sight; in the last dozen years scarcely a dozen individual birds have been seen. The close-packed ranks of the migrating birds offered the easiest of marks and they were literally mowed down in spring before they could reach their breeding grounds. In addition, they were slaughtered for months in their winter home in the Argentine, and the final touch to their destruction was given when both the Argentine and the western prairies were turned into vast wheat fields. To save our other species from the fate of the Eskimo curlew is the object of the federal migratory bird law. Since the birds are continually passing from state to state, experience has shown that the laws of individual states are not sufficient protection and that this can only be afforded by a scheme comprehensive enough to include the whole range of the birds' travels. Under the federal regulations the ITEMS FROM EVERYWHERE The records of 50 years show that the Pacific coast of the United States has experienced 4,467 earthquake shocks. The government of New Zealand is replacing its wooden telegraph poles and letter box posts with reinforced concrete ones. Angora goats have been used with profit to keep fire lines clear of inflammable vegetation in the national forests of California. An electric motor to vibrate fruit trees, so that the sap flows to the buds and blossoms and enables them to resist frost, has been patented by a Colorado man. The government of British North Borneo has employed an expert from the United States to make a general survey of the timber possibilities of that country. Among the officers of the Indian troops forming part of the British expeditionary forces are three native princes, each of whom has a fortune exceeding $20,000,000. Farming has become popular. During the last ten years the number of students taking the full four-year course in agriculture in American agriculture colleges has increased from about 2,500 to 12,500, or 500 per cent. About 300 species of turtle and tortoises are known. Some of them attain a very large size. The most prolific cause of child mortality among epidemic diseases is diptheria, which in 1913 caused 11,920 deaths in the United States. In the same area the same year more than 8,000 deaths were caused by measles. Merchants in China often leave their places of business unguarded for more than half an hour.

The wise man does not center his attention upon effects. They are to him as the ashes resulting from the genial heat of spiritual fires. There is no satiety in his life, because the fire of the original Spirit is ever new and fresh.

Ashes are carried out and cast to the four winds, but the fire burns on and on.—Charles Fillmore, in Unity. THANKSGIVING DAY Do You Know That- PRESIDENT DECLARES AMERI CANS SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR PEACE. United States Able to Assert Rights and the Rights of Mankind Without Breach of Friendship With Great Nations. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—President Wilson in a proclamation designating Thursday, Nov. 25, as Thanksgiving Day, called attention to the fact that the United States has been at peace while most of Europe has been at war. "We have been able to assert our rights and the rights of mankind without breach of friendship with the great nations with whom we have to deal," said the President. The text follows: IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF "It has long been the honored custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His many blessings and mercies to us as a nation. The year that is now drawing to a close since we last observed our day of national thanksgiving has been, while a year of discipline because of the mighty forces of war and of changes which have disturbed the word, also a year of special blessing for us. JOB PRINTING "Another year of peace has been vouchsafed us; another year in which not only to take thought of our duty to ourselves and to mankind, but also to adjust ourselves to the many responsibilities thrust upon us by a war which has involved almost the whole of Europe. We have been able to assert our rights and the rights of mankind without breach of friendship with the great nations with whom we have had to deal, and while we have asserted rights, we have been able also to perform duties and exercise privileges of succor and helpfulness which should serve to demonstrate our desire to make the offices of friendship the means of truly disinterested and unselfish service. "Our ability to serve all who could avail themselves of our services in the midst of crises has been increased by a gracious Providence by more and more abundant crops; our ample financial resources have enabled us to steady the markets of the world and facilitate necessary movement of commerce which the war might otherwise have rendered impossible; and our people have come more and more to a sober realization of the part they have been called upon to play in a time when all the world is shaken by unparalleled distress and disasters.

We have prospered while other people were at war, but our prosperity has been vouchsafed us, we believe, only that we might the better perform the functions which war rendered it impossible for them to perform.

Sometimes it is the very thing that fills one with distrust of a person—he or she may be only made dangerous by it.
