XX11. Booker T ington Colored Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 15.—Booker T. Washington, foremost teacher and leader of the Negro race, died yesterday at his home here, near the Tuskegee Institute, of which he was founder and president. Hardening of the arteries following a nervous breakdown caused death four hours after Dr. Washington arrived from New York. Altho he had been in failing health for several months, the Negro leader's condition became serious only last week, while he was in the East. He then realized the end was near, but was determined to make the last long trip South. He had said often: "I was born in the South, have lived all my life in the South, and expect to die and be buried in the South. Dies Few Hours After Reaching His Home. Accompanied by his wife, his secretary and a physician, Dr. Washington left New York for Tuskegee at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. He reached home Saturday midnight and died at 4:40 o'clock Sunday morning. His last public appearance was at the national conference of Congregational churches in New York, where he delivered a lecture, Oct. 25. A widow, three children and four grandchildren survive. John H. Washington, a brother, is superintendent of industries at Tuskegee Institute. Funeral services were held in Chapel of Tuskegee Institute on Wednesday Nov. 17, when a vast throng assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to Dr. Washington. Prominent men from all walks of life, whites as well as Negroes attended the funeral. Messages of condolence from throut the country expressing deepest regret and sorrow over the loss of Dr. Washington were received at the Washington home. Dr. Washington was born in slavery near Hales Ford, Va., in 1857. After the emancipation of his race, he moved with his family to West Virginia. When he was able to raise sufficient money to pay his stagecoach fare to Hampton, Va., he entered General Arm- strong's school for Negroes and he worked his way thru an academic course, graduating in 1875. Organizes Tuskegee School During 1881. Later he became a teacher in the Hampton Institute, where he remained until 1881, when he organized the Industrial School for Negroes at Tuskegee, to which he devoted most of his attention during the remaining years of his life. The institute started in a rented church and today it owns 3,500 acres of land in Alabama and has nearly 100 buildings valued at $500,000. In addition to his prominence as an educator, Dr. Washington gained considerable fame as an author chief among his works being the following:—"Up from Slavery," "Working with the Hands," "Character Building," "My Larger Education," "The Man Farthest Down," "Story of The Negro," (two volumes) An honorary degree of master of arts was conferred upon him by Harvard University in 1896, and in 1901 he was given an honorary degree of doctor of laws by Dartmouth College. WHO CAN TELL (New York Age.) All of musical New York has had to sit up and take notice of Miss Miura, the Japanese prima donna, who sang with such great success the role of "Butterfly" in the famous Puccini opera. The role of the Japanese child wife has been made famous by Farrar and other great singers, but who would thought that it would ever be sung in New York City by a Japanese woman? Does this not point to the possibility that some day colored singers will portray, even on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House, the roles of the colored characters in such operas as Aida and Salambo? The first impulse will be to say that such a hope is absurd; but we believe that such a result depends only upon the ability of colored artists and their willingness to understand the hard work neces- P.

Before Mr. Bert Williams made his great success in the Ziegfield Follies, it would have been natural to call it absurd for a colored man to hope to become the highest paid comedian of a large white company in this country. We believe that the time will come when singers of our race will sing grand opera in this country, especially those roles to which they are especially adapted by race and temperment. It is a question of ability and hard work. Are our young artists willing to set themselves to the task? The Colorado Statesman. Denver, Colorado. I must say that the Colorado Statesman has been very encouraging to me out on the plains of Colorado, keeping me posted on the past, present and future of our race.

In accordance with the proclamation issued by President Wilson, Thursday, Nov. 25th, is set apart for Thanksgiving day. As is customary, services will be held in the churches and elaborate preparations are being made to make this year's celebration greater than previous ones. The turkey will perform its particular role by gracing the table of the homes, and those who are unable to provide, will be remembered by the charitable institutions of the city. At this time united prayers a great pleasure to think of my success, nearly 10,000 bushels of grain, and have stored 600 bushels for spring prices. Fall wheat made 16½, spring 20½. How is that for a city boy? I also have made quite a few improvements this year—a granary barn and a little bungalow, consisting of seven rooms, four on the first floor and three in the basement, size 2+x24. I have my cement blocks ready to lay in the spring. After the 15th of November my address is 2006 N. 28th street, Omaha. Success to the "Statesman." I remain, W. S. EVANS, New Raymer, Colo.

POPE DELIVERS EDUCATIONAL ADDRESS Aberdeen, Miss., Nov. 15.—The Northeast Mississippi African conference which has been in session here since last Wednesday closed last night to meet in Grenada. It was presided over by Bishop J. M. Connor, D. D., of Little Rock. The conference was attended by many prominent ministers, among them was Rev. R. L. Pope, D. D., of Denver, Colorado, who delivered the educational address before the conference and fully 1,000 people including a large number of the leading white people in this section of the country. In his address Dr. Pope declared that the great curse to the American people was ignorance, men ignorant as to the rights of each other. "It is not so much race prejudice as it is ignorance I have to fight. Men who are too ignorant to appreciate the fact that I am a man, and manhood should not be measured by color, skin or hair, but by brain and thought. I have never asked for any special favors, any special legislation for my people, but I am urging them to prepare to meet brains with brains, thought with thought, mind with mind since mind is the standard of the man. "My church stands for self-help for higher manhood. No more, nothing less. Get out of my sunshine and if I fail to make it I am to blame and not you." Dr Pope was given an ovation, and Bishop NO 14 Connor said that he was the man for the position of secretary of education for the A. M. E. church. He left here for Hot Springs, to attend the West Arkansas conference and from their will go to Denver. He is considered one of the best trained ministers in the A. M. E. church. WHO RACE LEADERS WILL SUPPORT IN 1916 WHO RACE LEADERS WILL SUPPORT IN 1916 Washington, D. C., Nov. 9. Hon. Charles D. Hilles, Chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee, announces that many candidate for the Republican nomination for President next year are entering the field for the pre-convention contest. Among those mentioned are former Senator Elihu Root of New York; Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa; Senator William E. Borah of Idaho; former Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana; former senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio; Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts; Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan; Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas; Senator L. Y. Sherman of Illinois; former governor Myron T. Herrick of Ohio; Governor Charles S. Whitman of New York, and H. D. Estabrook, a prominent and eloquent lawyer of New York City, who delivered the principal address at the annual meeting of the Advertising Clubs of America held in Chicago last June. From now on, it will be interesting to note how prominent Colored men of national reputation "line up." It is said that Hon. Chas. W. Anderson who has just been appointed Supervisory Agent of the State Agricultural Department, and Hon. Fred R Moore, of The New York Age, appointed Minister to Liberia by President Taft, will support Governor Whitman; former assistant attorney general William H. Lewis of Boston will support Senator Weeks; Ralph W. Tyler, auditor of the Navy Department under President Roosevelt and Taft, will support Senator Burton, while George A. Myers and Editor H. C. Smith have not yet decided whom they will support. As a rule, however, it is expected that the leading Colored men in the various states will follow their "favorite sons." The Southern leaders are against any candidate with "ily-white" leanings, and are already at work "sounding" the candidates.

He plans to have it completed by Nov. 25, and will deliver it in person, probably Dec. 7 before a joint session of the House and Senate. Immediate publication of the report of the army general staff on the military needs of the country, differing materially from the administration's continental army scheme, will be urged upon President Wilson by Secretary Garrison.

Trevelyan, Liberal member for Yorks, in a speech in the House of Commons, urged the formulation of terms of peace for the purpose of trying to obtain by negotiations instead of by bloodshed the restoration of Belgium and the settlement of European boundaries on lines of nationality. With the formal foundation of the "Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Bovoelkerungs Politik," roughly translated, the "German Society for Population Increase," the efforts of a relatively small body of men to check the decrease that has been noticeable in the German birthrate for more than forty years, have at last won widespread recognition.

Mine Operators on Full Time and Small Flotation Plant Helps Cover Expenses of Business. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Breckenridge, Colo.—The Wellington Mines Company paid to its stockholders a special dividend of 2 per cent, or $200,000. The property is stocked at $10,000,000 and so far has paid $650,000 to its stockholders. The dividends paid so far this year amount to $300,000. Both reduction mills on the property are kept running full time with three shifts of mill employés The ore from the mine is a zinc-lead iron sulphide, which first passes through the 100-ton capacity wet mill, where the most of the lead and part of the zinc is recovered. The "middlings" of the wet mill are roasted, recrushed and are then put through the fifty-ton magnetic separator mill. A small plant for "flotation treatment" has been recently added to secure additional values from the tailings. The iron is not marketed. The Puzzle Leasing Company has started drifting on the vein at about fifty feet below the tunnel level. The electric pump and hoist are operating satisfactorily. The company made a carload shipment to the Chamberlain sampler at Breckenridge last week. The ore carries gold, silver, lead and zinc. D. & R.

Jeffery, chairman of the board of directors of the Denver & Rio Grande, announced that all of the offices heretofore held jointly with the Missouri Pacific had been abolished, and that several millions of dollars would be expended soon in standardizing the narrow gauge line in Colorado, and in building new extensions. "The Denver & Rio Grande's expanding business throughout Colorado makes it almost imperative to spend millions in the near future in the extension and development of the lines in this state and Utah, including the broad-gauging of the tracks not now on standard gauge," Mr. Jeffery declared. Tax Due Twice From Same Estate Denver. The state will reap a double inheritance tax from the estate of William Shellabarger, who was killed at the West Mexico avenue crossing because Mrs. Shellabarger lived two hours longer than her husband. According to Leslie E. Hubbard, state inheritance tax appraiser, the first tax was collectible when the husband, leaving a will naming his wife as sole heir, was instantly killed. The second tax, he says, fell due when two hours later, Mrs. Shellabarger died, leaving a will which named her three nephews as her heirs. The amount involved is estimated at $100,000. New Perjury Charges Against Hawkins Trinidad.—For a few minutes, Horace N. Hawkins of Denver, and Fred W. Clark of Trinidad, attorneys for the United Mine Workers of America, under indictment for alleged submation of perjury, were relieved of that accusation by Judge J. C.

Denver, Colo. PHONE MAIN 8045 AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In a communication to The Living Church, George F. Bragg, Jr. of Baltimore, advances the following arguments for church unity: A National and Not a Sectional Question. To the Editor of The Living Church: It is perfectly permissible, as well as lawful, within the bounds of Province No. 2, for a congregation of colored persons to be constituted on racial lines. It is permissible, and lawful, also, for colored persons to become members of parishes made up of white people. We certainly would not change this liberty. We would vigorously protest against any law declaring that colored people shall be organized along racial lines. We would as vigorously protest against a law which compelled the admission of colored persons into white parishes. What we now ask is that the several congregations organized on racial lines within the province be permitted either to associate themselves with the diocesan convention of the particular diocese where situate or to associate themselves with similar congregations within the province and be given a "status" of their own, with a convocation and missionary bishop. In every division of the church there will be colored members, but in the racial division the great body of colored people will be found. The point of unity is in the one episcopate. Still again, this unity would be in evidence in the Provincial synod. By such an arrangement, which is not mandatory but simply permissive, the great body of colored churchmen would be associated together in the work of missions, and also in building up institutions for colored orphans, the aged and infirm, and other charitable concerns. Otherwise, they would justly claim the benefits of such institutions now practically confined to white people. Right here is a great and vexing problem that is sure to arise, without the permissive legislation which is sought. We are asking simply for the legislation. The initiative, in every case, must be taken by the diocesan bishops. The question of a more elastic episcopal supervision for the colored race is not a sectional but a national question, and is intimately connected with the subject of church unity. If in 1878, when an entire Negro denomination, bishop, ministers, and laity, asked to be received into the Episcopal church in Virginia, the legislation which we are now asking the general convention to adopt had been a part of our canon law, the church would not have lost such a splendid opportunity. At the next meeting of the house of bishops the bishop of Virginia would have laid the whole matter before that body. And the probable result would have been somewhat like this: North Carolina and Virginia would have been constituted a special missionary district with respect to the colored race, and the very best colored priest that could be secured consecrated a missionary bishop and set to work, with the co-operation and guidance of the bishops of North Carolina and Virginia. That organization alone would have given him twenty-odd ministers, and more than two thousand communicant members. I know enough about racial life to assert that it is entirely within the range of possibility, some day, for the bishop of New York to be surprised with a request from some Negro body in the state of New York, seeking admission into the church, not as pau- At a colored Baptist ministers' meeting it was decided to hold a citywide evangelistic campaign in Washington during the two weeks beginning October 24. The following evangelists participated: Revs. Richard Carroll and William Carter of South Carolina; S. L. Johnson and S. A. Brown of Virginia; Granville Hunt and C. Le Roy Butler of New York; Junius Gray of Maryland and J. W. Bailey of Texas. An executive committee, consisting of the following pastors, was selected to have charge of the campaign; Rev. M. W. D. Norman, chairman; Rev. J. I. Loving, secretary; Rev. W. D. Jarvis, treasurer, and Revs. Joseph H. Lee, Robert J. Hawkins, William Bishop Johnson, A. Wilbanks, J. E. Willis, J. P. Green, G. W. Brent, A. J. Tyler, Walter H. Brooks, J. W. Howard, S. G. Lamkins, Holland Powell, William H. Jernagin and J. Milton Waldon. It is the general opinion that this was the great-revival meeting ever held among colored people in Washington. Redditch is where all British needles are made. Rev. Dr. Weston Bruner, formerly of this city, but for some time past at the head of the department of evangelism of the home board of the Southern Baptist convention, is now engaged in work for the evangelization of the entire South, and has already inaugurated a series of meetings in nearly a hundred cities and towns of the South, these meetings including both white and colored Baptist churches. British Columbia reports the discovery of extensive gypsum deposits. pers, but as self-supporting people. Such a happening would almost daze the good bishop, when immediately the vexing character of the new problem would dawn upon him in all its fullness. Under the legislation is proposed, the solution would be quite easy, and prove a great triumph for the church, and the cause of Christian unity. The clerical and lay deputies in the general convention from the North are not wise in treating this question as pertaining to the South. Southern Negroes are constantly flocking to the North, and when they go they carry themselves. They have the same desire in the North that they have in the South. They want their own convention, and their own bishop. Sooner or later, there will be "trouble" in the white camp if the black saints of the household are "snubbed." Twelve hundred Chicago Negroes have banded together and purchased about eleven hundred acres of land on the shores of Crook lake, just outside Baldwin, Mich., and the islands which dot the lake, and are perfecting a form of government for the colony to be transplanted to the new city the first of next May. At a meeting a committee was appointed to draft a constitution, arrange for an election of officers by postcard ballot and make preparations for building a clubhouse on an island in the lake, which has been rechristened Lake Idlewilde. The new city is to be called Idlewilde. Negotiations are being conducted by a syndicate of Chicago Negroes looking toward the purchase of the Draper Hall summer resort in Oconomowoc, Wis.—Chicago Herald. How the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute is teaching Negroes and whites of the South to raise their own food crops; how it is establishing rural schools, largely through donations from Mr. and Mrs. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, and how it is establishing a farm colony for graduates are some of the things disclosed in the annual report of the principal, Dr. Booker T. Washington. In the report is made an appeal to the public for funds to carry on the work of this institution for the benefit of the Negro race. Seth Low, chairman of the trustees, announced the annual deficit is about $50,000, and Doctor Washington says there is needed a $3,000,000 addition to the endowment fund; $50,000 each for boys' and girls' dormitories. "The Star of Ethiopia" was the name of a pageant held by colored citizens in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution. The American League baseball park was the scene of the celebration. Mrs. Quincy Shaw of Boston and the Misses Lewisson of New York and others furnished the fund with which this pageant is given. The colored citizens of Washington guaranteed an additional fund of $1,000. Charles C. Hopkins, clerk of the supreme court at Lansing, Mich., is the oldest employee of the state in point of continuous service, having held his present position 33 years. Clerk Hopkins is also the only clerk the supreme court has had since the court was given power to appoint its clerk. Booker T. Washington has issued a circular directing attention to the claims on public generosity of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, Alabama, of which he is the principal. The school, which was established to educate Negroes, started with one teacher and 30 students, and now has 1,500 students from 33 states and 18 foreign countries, officers and teachers numbering 193. The institution owns 3,000 acres of land, and the entire value of its property is $1,362,000. Training is given in academic studies, trades and religion, and 6,000 graduates and undergraduates have been sent out as farmers, mechanics, housewives, teachers, and business men. The managers are seeking help for operating expenses and to increase the endowment fund of the institution. Seth Low is chairman of the board of trustees. Maxim Gorky is fighting as a volunteer with the Russian army in Galicia. The rivers of the United States are wearing down its lands at a rate of about a foot in 9,120 years. When an aged man recovers from a severe illness the neighbors make the best of it. But they never are able entirely to conceal their disappointment. In communities large enough to support more than one newspaper there always are two sides to every question. The popular conception of the devil is that of a male adult adorned with hoofs and a forked tail. But the devil people really dread is old age. ESTIMATES PUT $29,650,747 VALUE ON 52,515,750 BUSHELS.

By next July 1 the state insane asylum at Pueblo, through the erection of four cottages now under construction, will be able to accommodate 400 more patients and thus relieve counties of the state that are now caring for insane persons because of lack of room at the state institution, according to a statement made by Governor Carlson. Guard Ordered at Death Crossing. The State Public Utilities Commission has ordered the Denver & Rio Grande and the Santa Fe railroads to station watchmen from 7 o'clock each morning until 12 midnight at the West Mexico avenue crossing in Denver, where four automobilists were killed by a train a few days ago. Ramer Accepts Priest Recall Petition. The petition to recall Judge H. P. Burke and District Attorney Irving Van Bradt of the Thirteenth judicial district, in connection with the setting aside of a verdict in the recent trial of a Catholic priest, was accepted as sufficient under the law by Secretary of State Ramer. Expert to Examine Phone Co. Books. All books and records of the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company containing information as to rates and regulations of the company in this state are ordered thrown open for inspection of the state public utilities commission in a resolution passed by the commission. Mineral Citizens Ask Depot. Citizens of Saguache have filed an informal appeal with the state public utilities commission asking that the Denver & Rio Grande railroad be ordered to establish a depot at Mineral Hot Springs near Saguache. Warden to Be Paid Full Salary. The mandamus suit for $625 salary and $200 damages, brought by Warden Capp of the Buena Vista reformatory against State Treasurer Mulkin, was settled when Warden Capp agreed to accept the salary and waive his claims for damages. Boulder Armory Contract Approved. The State Military Board approved a contract for the construction of the new armory of the Colorado National Guard at Boulder. RUMANIA WILL JOIN GERMANY ENGLAND DECLARES BLOCKADE AGAINST GREECE TO FORCE ITS HAND IMMEDIATELY. GENERAL WAR COUNCIL LEADERS OF FRANCE AND ENGLAND MEET IN PARIS TO DEAL WITH CRISIS. London, Nov. 17.—Serbian resistance is almost crushed. Rumania is declared ready to join Germany in December, while the attitude of Greece is so uncertain that England has placed an embargo on ships landing at Greek ports. The allies have practically admitted the loss of Serbia. The Serb army is surrounded on three sides; two lines of retreat are open to it—one into Albania, where hostile tribes are ready to harass the Serbians; the other into Greece, where, it is feared, the troops will be disarmed and interned. A Havas dispatch from Marseilles says the government has ordered the port authorities to accept no further shipments of merchandise destined for Greece. England has issued an order in council forbidding British subjects of military age leaving the confines of the empire without a special permit. The permit will not be easily obtained, it is announced. The French and British are barely holding their own in Serbia and have already prepared to cover their retreat into Greece. King Constantine has intimated that his "benevolent neutrality" will mean the interning of all troops who cross the Hellenic frontiers. It is to prevent this that the allies are striving. England has made it plain to the Athens government that Greece must either join the allies at once or agree to extend hospitality to their retreating army. The first move in this respect is the notice served on the Hellenic government that although ships now en route to Greek ports will be allowed to land, all others will be held up until Greece defines its attitude. The decision of Rumania to join the Kaiser was announced by Premier Carp. It was a bolt from a clear sky to the allies. All leaders of the allied powers admit the great crisis of the war is at hand. Italy has recognized the situation and has, it is said, an expeditionary force of 150,000 men on the way to the Balkans. Last night in Paris the leaders of England and France held their first war council. They admit the seriousness of their position but appear confident that they will find a way of meeting the situation. The general outcome, they say, will be for the best, as it will result in a closer co-operation among the entente powers than has so far marked the war. The British prime minister, Mr. Asquith; David Lloyd George, and A. J. Balfour, the French Cabinet, and Gen. Joffre, the French commander-in-chief, were at the council. The main Serbian army which is operating under Gen. Putnik in the north, now encompassed on every side but one, and being cut off from the south by the Bulgarian advance beyond Tetovo, must depend on the rough roads through Montenegro and Albania for any supplies from the sea REVENUE TO BE INCREASED. Washington.—It was stated that the plan which will be submitted to Congress by administration leaders, to provide for the inauguration of the President's preparedness program and to wipe out the deficit in the treasury probably will be along the following lines: Double income tax, producing $80,000,000; tax freight receipts, 3 per cent, $60,000,000; tax of 1 or 2 per cent on gasoline, $20,000,000; reduction of the exemption on income taxes to $2,000, $10,000,000; retention of the special war taxes least irritating to the public, $25,000,000. The total that would be raised in this manner is $205,000,000. The amount needed for the army and navy program for the first year is $105,000,000, and the deficit, it is estimated, will be a like sum, making the total amount needed $210,000,000. Railmichael Killed in Runaway. Playback, John E. Radford, 50, a prominent rancher of Park county, was killed almost instantly in a runaway. Four Americans, One Britisher Slain. Topolobambo, Sinaloa, Mex.—Mayo Indians and Villa troops raided the town of Los Mochis, eighteen miles inland from here. Refugees arrived here sought protection aboard the United States gunboat Annapolis, One British subject and four Americans were reported killed. Thirty-three women and children arrived here and were taken aboard the Annapolis. Others were said to be on the way. American civilians here immediately organized outposts and patrols to guard the town.

I am conscious that mere words are weak and inadequate to give a proper estimate and pay a fitting tribute to the worth of the late Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, Alabama; but while my words may fall short and be forgotten, I glory in the comfort that his life, though comparatively shortlived, was full and complete with the accomplishment of a work which resulted in an amelioration of conditions that were disadvantageous to nearly 12,000,000 of dark-skinned Americans and at present has given hope for a successful termination satisfying to all. Good Deeds Live Forever. Good Deeds Live Forever. The good deeds of a great man live forever, though words may fade from memory, and realizing the fact that Washington belonged to that type of men who make nations great and who lead in the march of human progress, I feel he was imbued with the spirit which lent him inspiration that Freedom was young ambition's Ladder, resulting in that actuosity which helps to sustain and direct the administration of a government for the good of humanity and a complete emancipation from oppression and wrong throughout the nation and the world at large. Well may I say in the words of Addison, "Men of the greatest abilities are most fired with ambition," and to this class Booker belongs. Having had the privileged opportunity of his association at Hampton, Va., from 1879 to 1881, I was impressed in an extraordinary degree with his calm, patient bearing in the course of instruction he gave to myself and others, which made us entertain the loftiest ideas for achieving the most ennobling standards. It could clearly be seen from that time that Washington exhibited traits that would result in his becoming. A Man of Men—A Great Man. This fact stands unchallenged, undisputed, uncriticized, as for nearly thirty-five of the fifty-eight years of his existence working as a giant, building a world about and around him, supported by Presidents, fostered by eminent personalities of the nation, complimented by potentates of foreign lands, and encouraged by the people of his race, he always had a vision fixed firmly but modestly upon the high goal and the crowning scene of his life's ambitious activities. I can well remember his remarks to me thirty-four years ago when he decided to go to Alabama by the request of General S. C. Armstrong, principal of the Hampton Institute—"Rivers I go to the South, you go to the West; we work for humanity's cause, and if we shall have done our best angels can't do more." This, to my mind, formed the basic reason for his having forged the River of Prejudice and cruelty and bridged the stream of Discontent and wrong-doing that prevailed against his race. His Death. His Death. In the inscrutable wisdom of the Omnipotent, Dr. Booker T. Washington is called from his laborious duties on earth, which constantly engaged the mental and physical, to rest and reward. We cannot fathom or understand the decrees of Providence Who removes from service the best, bravest and brightest in our midst; but we can from the lesson of their lives devote ourselves to the cause of right- eousness which they served, preparing us for obedience to the summons when it comes, so that we will be fitted for the companionship of illustrious men as Washington, whose lives and achievements have adorned the pages of history. In the death of this champion of human rights the whole country has suffered a great and permanent loss, but the loss is more keenly felt by the people of his race who are familiar with his solution of the grave racial problem that confronts this country, and the impressions that he made upon rich and poor, high and low, by the God-given gift and talent he possessed, will open an ingress to the most closeted arena of the selfish and drastic opponents of his followers. In the prime of life he was cut off, I would say, due to his indefatigable energy, and even when he felt his strength waning, there seemed a something uncontrollable that goaded him to action more and more. "Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends"—the words of the greatest exponent of love from man, and when I think of the usefulness of our departed leader to his fellowmen the world over I can verily say the expression in true faith is applicable to him. In the words of Henry A. Buchtel, chancellor of the Denver University, Colorado, who was intimately acquainted with the deceased, when he stated: "Booker T. Washington was an honor to the human race; to men of all colors. He won the crown of a noble and purposeful life. He will be held in everlasting honor here on earth where his brave work was done. Now he has received his reward in the heavenly world;" also, Dean H. Martyn Hart, who, in part said: "A man may die and it may seem that his work will be impeded if not obliterated, but an individual life is not necessary for the completion of God's intentions; and Booker T. Washington has sown broadcast too much good seed not to insure wider sowing and the certainty a rich harvest. He has gone to his reward if ever a man did, for he built not with 'wood, hay and stubble,' but with 'gold, silver and precious tones,' and the governor of the state of Colorado, in his telegram—"I offer my heartfelt sympathy in this your great bereavement, and hope the memory of your husband's noble character and great achievements in his chosen life-work will lighten and make more bearable the heavy burden of your grief," I can find in these and numerous other similar expressions that have come to me, that the poet was correct in his lines: "Fleecy locks and dark complexion, Do not alter Nature's claim; Skins may differ but—Affection Dwells in black and white the same." Therefore from the enconiums on the life and character of Dr. Washington as are pronounced by distinguished persons of the United States and the world at large, no better consolation could be offered by me to his sorrowing family and large circle of friends, than The Legacy. which he has left—the same being his work—a tangible proof, and striking recognition in the perpetual monument of Tuskegee Institute, which has given to the nation some of her best sons, and which has made the hearts of Virginia, the home of his birth, and Alabama, the home of his adoption, proud of the splendid type of American manhood presented to the nation and the world. A deep sense of satisfaction must be entertained by those who are nearest and dearest to the honored deceased and with the rememberance that "Man's life a book of history The leaves thereof are days." I am sanguine that the future historian in recording the wonderful achievements of American builders will refer to Dr. Booker T. Washington as the architect who laid the foundation of a race upon which a permanent superstructure of magnificence will be erected, eclipsing the wonders of a Greece or a Rome and obliterating every vestige of inhuman and unsympathetic action. Requiescot in pace. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO THE LATE BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Booker T. Washington was an honor to the human race; to men of all colors. He won the crown of a noble and purposeful life. He will be held in everlasting honor here on earth where his brave work was done. Now he has received his reward in the heavenly world. HENRY A. BUCHTEL HENRY A. BUCHTEL, Chancellor University of Denver. 17th November, 1915. The Colored people have lost in the death of Booker T. Washington one of the best friends they ever had. I once had the pleasure of his lunching with me and I quite agreed with the object of his life—to train the Colored people to be good work- men—and thousands are today blessing him for their means of honorable livelihood. I remember asking him his opinion as to the moving of the race back again to their native Africa, but he seemed to think that they had become so rooted in this country that it would be impracticable. The alternative therefore was to raise their status by education, and this chiefly in arts and crafts. He deprecated putting him in the way of what might be called higher education, as infusing into them anticipations which cannot be fulfilled for many generations. A man may die and it may seem that his work will be impeded, if not obliterated, but an individual life is not necessary for the completion of God's intentions; and Brooker T. Washington has sown broadcast too much good seed not to insure wider sowing and the certainty of a rich harvest. He has gone to his reward if ever a man did, for he built, not with "wood, hay and stubble," but with "gold, silver and precious stones." Requiescat in pace. H. MARTIN HART, M.A., L.L.D. In the passing of Dr. Booker T. Washington the nation has lost a great and noble Christian man. His place will not be easily filled, as like Simon of old he bore the cross of his race in which all true men glory. In offering sympathy to his bereaved family and the institution of Tuskegee, Alabama, of which he was president, I can only commend them to God's care and let them find consolation in the fact that a man's good works live after his death. "There is rest—sweet rest" for the late leader of our race and his memory will be blessed. Dr. R. A. RANDOLPH. Denver. Colo., November 16, 1915. Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Alabama. I offer my heartfelt sympathy in this time of your great bereavement and hope the memory of your husband's noble character and great achievements in his chosen life work will lighten and make more bearable the heavy burden of your grief. GEORGE A. CARLSON, Governor of Colorado. PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. A. G. Fallings. My first recollection of having seen Booker T. Washington was upon his return to Tuskegee just after he had delivered his famous Atlanta address. Although the press throughout the country was lauding him to the highest, pronouncing him America's foremost Negro, the Moses of his race, and the wizard of Tuskegee, he returned to the school unannounced, conducted chapel services that evening and not one word was said regarding his great speech. While working in his office, he told me to go and get a certain book. After making what I considered a thorough search without success, I returned and told Mr. Washington I couldn't find the book. He looked me squarely in the eye and said, "Young man, this institution is not run on excuses; you go and don't return until you bring that book with you." I discovered that I hadn't half looked, and soon returned with the book. He had many peculiarities, one of which was he wouldn't take pills, and when asking a doctor to prescribe he would tell him to prescribe something other than pills. Another peculiarity was that he made a horse go at break-neck speed while driving. He took me to the town of Tuskegee with him one day and my nerves were on edge all the time on account of his fast driving. Cleanliness was one of his hobbies, and this was evidenced by the absolute clean condition of the campus, dormitories and class room at all times. Waste paper on the floors and grounds is unknown at Tuskegee. One of the great features of student life at Tuskegee was Mr. Washington's Sunday evening talks. For about fifteen minutes he would hold the wrap attention of students and teachers upon some practical subject.

The three greatest speeches of his career were made during my time at Tuskegee: the Atlanta speech, which the secretary of the United States treasury put on file at Washington; the speech at the unveiling of the monument to Robert Gould Shaw, and the one at the Peace Jubilee in Chicago. He taught my class in Psychology part of the time and one day after recitation was over he read his Peace Jubilee speech to the class. A few days later he delivered this speech and every important paper in the country reproduced it. He never taught race inferiority, but impressed upon the Negro the importance of vocational training. Eighty per cent of the Negroes live by farming. Why should they not be good farmers? The masses of all people live by working with their hands. Why shouldn't the Negro? The training of the head, the heart and the hand has been advocated by the founder of Tuskegee and its influence has spread throughout the universe. Tuskegee is his mounment, and this mounment should be maintained by an endowment of several millions of dollars. COLORED CITIZENS' LEAGUE At the regular meeting of the League held at 1025 Twenty-first street on Tuesday, 16th inst., extraordinary interest was evinced which resulted in a number of persons becoming members. After the usual transaction of business, resolutions were offered by Joseph D. D. Rivers, seconded by Mrs. Ida De Priest (members of the executive board), in reference to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. The following comprise the resolutions which were adopted: WE WELCOME commercial competition, but it truly is impossible to combat adverse weather conditions. This season has been without precedent in that we did not have a single winter day until November. Now the weather has turned again to mild days. The normal selling season for overcoats is September, October, November and December. Here it is the middle of November and we have only six weeks left to do a four months' business. Our clothing buyer, full of optimism, placed heavier orders than ever before, anticipating that winter would come in the natural course of events. Cold, severe days will come, but we cannot wait longer for them. We must create an immediate demand for these men's and young men's overcoats. Nothing will create that demand except radical price concessions. So we face the situation squarely and make those price reductions that will "move" these thousands of overcoats. That, frankly, is the reason for this sale. For a One Dollar Deposit We will lay aside any overcoat selected from this splendid assortment and keep it pressed and ready for you whenever you may want it. Whereas, In the wisdom of the Creator of men the summons issued to our revered and respected educator and leader, Dr. Booker T. Washington, was obeyed on the morning of Sunday, November 14, 1915; and, Whereas, The said Dr. Booker T. Washington, universally recognized as the greatest American Negro of his day and time, did and gave of his best for the uplift of humanity and the progressiveness and recognition of the Negro race, in a manner greater than heretofore; be it. Resolved, That the Colored Citizens' League of Denver, Colo., at a meeting held Tuesday, November 16, 1915, express its deepest sense of gratitude to the Almighty Power for having permitted the deceased to have lived and labored for the cause of humanity and the results of his labor established before his demise; and that in obedience to His will, though our hearts are weighed down with inexpressible sorrow, we cannot but feel that the legacy left by Dr. Washington will indelibly stamp itself on posterity to the end of time. Forceful, polished and dignified, he made lucid and subject that he discussed, while his honesty and sincerity of purpose will never be forgotten. These and other good qualities make us feel keenly the loss of not only a leader, but a friend whose only purpose in life was "the good of all." We cannot find words to bring comfort to the family who was so near and dear to him, but having the realization of his meeting faithfully the responsibilities of husband, father, friend and citizen, we commend them to the care and keeping of Him, who presides over our destinies. "Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime; And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." Be it further resolved, That copies of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, the Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and the press of Denver, Colo. (Signed A. W. LEWIS, President.

The formal opening of the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association took place last Wednesday evening before a large and appreciative gathering of members and visitors. A well-rendered program added delightfully to the evening's entertainment, and the many expressions for a successful career of the organization seemed to have found a ready response in the energy being put forward by Secretary Bell and the board of management. The Colorado Statesman hopes for a very bright future for this worthy Association.

SONG RECITAL AT FISK The following was taken from the Nashville Tennessean, a white morning paper of Nashville: One of the most pleasing features of the post-inaugural exercises was a song recital, rendered Wednesday morning in Fisk Memorial chapel by Miss Jennie Hicks of Denver, Colo. An audience of 400 was present, consisting of the faculty and student body. She was accompanied on the piano by Miss Johnnella Frazier, a graduate of the music department of Fisk and also pianist for the famous Fisk Jubilee Singers. THE PRICE-MAYER CO. The finest display of trunks and leather goods for the holidays can be seen at the above company's store, 634 Sixteenth street, at very moderate prices. Trunks repaired and exchanged. The public is invited to inspect our stock before going elsewhere, as satisfaction is guaranteed. THE CHARITY BALL For the first time within our knowledge a real charity ball, the proceeds of which are actually to be devoted to the benefit of our worthy poor is advertised for Wednesday evening, Dec. 15, at East Turner hall. We take this opportunity to commend Corporal White Camp No. 4, United Spanish war veterans in such a worthy and laudable effort. It shows that they are thoughtful and interested in some one else other than themselves and ready to use their means, efforts and influence toward helping the poor of our race in getting coal wood, provisions and clothing. It is an effort that should be crowned with abundant success, and every citizen, every lodge and organization among us should lend their selfish aid and join in this broad and praiseworthy effort and help the soldier boys in this charity ball. The Colorado Statesman is reliably informed that the lodges have been invited to name each a member of the charity committee to see that substantial assistance is rendered to ALL regardless of religious belief or denomination. Every year we see a BIG CHARITY BALL given by the white citizens for the benefit of their poor and needy, and even now do we see THE POST conducting a "BIG BROTHER" benefit for the poor children among the whites. So, then, we advise unity and harmony in this effort and let every citizen join with the Colorado Statesman in boosting and helping to make this charity ball a big financial success, because we know positively it is for the benefit of OUR WORTHY POOR and not for Corporal White Camp, who is merely sponsor for the BIG CHARITY BALL. Boost! Boost! MEMOIRS OF SANFORD DENTON Flavel Sanford Denton, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Denton, was born January 28, 1892 at Mount Blanco, Crocody County, Texas. When he was three years old, his parents came to Colorado, living three years in Denver and then moving to Barr Lake, where Sanford spent his childhood and grew to manhood. He received his education in the schools of Barr, graduating from the eighth grade in 1908. Because of his sunny disposition he was a favorite in his class. His popularity was not confined, however, to class rooms, but spread throughout the community. At the age of fifteen the responsibility of caring for his mother, two sisters and brother was shifted upon him. In the spring of 1911 he felt that he might be able to do a better part by them by working in the city and so he went back to Denver. He would remain in Denver a part of each year, returning always in the fall to take charge of the work for the Oasis Outing Club, which lasted until about May. But in 1914, when he went to Denver, he spent the entire year there, just returning to Barr in March, 1915. When he came home the last time he seemed filled with a new vigor and determination to try farming as a livelihood. It seemed that fortune had smiled upon him in this devotion and everything he turned his hand to seemed a success. He was so happy in the thought that he would soon be able to make his mother and sisters quite comfortable and happy again. His greatest joy was in doing for others and making things pleasant for all with whom he came in contact. It was this devotion to the welfare of others that hastened his untimely end. On Sunday morning, October 24, during a remarkably heavy windstorm, Dr. Rivers, one of the members of the Oasis Outing Club, and a most devoted friend of the family, called to him to bring him from a little island in the middle of Barr Lake. Rough as the water was he started out bravely, assuring his mother that she need have no fear. He reached the island in safety and had started to return with Dr. Rivers for shore but in some unknown manner the boat capsized. He leaves to mourn his loss a mother, two sisters, a brother and a host of relatives and friends. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon, October 28, from the Methodist Church in Brighton. Burial was at Elmwood cemetery. Messrs, L. H, Lightner, Guy Stiles, Wm. Parks, Harry Barbee, George Brooks, and Howard Troutman acted as pallbears. "Face to face" was sang in a very pleasing manner by Miss Jessie Andrews, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. L, H, Lightner. PROGRAM OF UNION THANKSGIV ING SERVICES.

The signs the veteran turkey sees And with a deep and mournful sigh He calls his numerous family nigh And murmurs, pointing to the trees, "Roost high, my little ones, roost high." —Eugene Field. AM thankful that I have the power to feel the glorious sunshine or the gray rain. My heart fills with joy that I can see the leaves and the sky and hear the music of the brook. Grateful am I that I can appreciate the height of the mountain or steeple and the depth of the shadows, and I am glad that I can be uncomfortable in the intense heat or cold, for that means a joyous sense of relief when it comes. WHICH one of us is not glad of the power to judge? From the many recurrent cases we can induce a rule, a law, a generality. And from this we can make applications to specific instances. Is it not wonderful, and are you not glad? FOR my power to decide for myself I am thankful. My freedom of will is a precious jewel that I pray I may duly treasure. No one can say what I shall think, for that is my heritage. My thoughts concerning life, death and the hereafter, are mine, and I am glad. THEN there is this country in which I live. I am grateful that it is here, with water around it, and other lands on the east and west. The lure of the distant country will prevent us from a narrow insularity. I am glad that we can govern ourselves in matters that affect ourselves. I am filled with joy that men are born free and equal and can keep on living that way. FOR the position of woman in this country may I ever be thankful. She is not the draft animal of the fields in some countries beyond. She is not the chattel of the middle ages. She is not the spineless creature that was a well-trained echo of another. A woman is the equal of man now, except at the polls. For small favors I am deeply grateful. ANUMBER of institutions of learning are letting us in at the front doors. If I wish to study sociology or medicine or the languages, I am not beaten into a pupil by scornful deans. If I wish to write a book, I need not be ashamed and hide it under a sampler if I hear anyone coming. Thanks, awfully! GLAD am I that I can earn money to clothe, feed and shelter myself. Father and mother should not support an adult woman until another man offers to take up the burden. I am not a hanger-on in the political economy march, and I give thanks. OF A power of self-expression let me never be forgetful. Let me be glad that I can sing when I feel like it, cry when I am inclined to, walk when I want to get away, play when I forget how old I am and write or draw or carve when the great impulse towards beauty stirs in my soul. I AM thankful that at some times I can be extremely miserable. Psychoologist tells us that that implies a power to be intensely happy. Think it over. ESPECIALLY glad am I for the year 1911. It is so much better than 1811. I am glad that I am living now. The heritage of the past is here. The greatness of science and art is too good to miss. AND oh, how thankful I am that I can laugh! How much does a sense of humor ease the way! The happy phrase, the clever story, the quick parry and thrust—all are necessary to balance the heavy parts in the life play. I AM grateful for the bumps that I have had in this life. The retort courteous, the cut direct, the infamous lie, the cruel knock—all have done something. The world is a great teacher. FOR my friends, let my heart be all ways grateful. One can't help relatives; a mere accident placed a great aunt in the same family, but friends are chosen. I am glad that I have dear, congenial souls on my visiting list. MEMORY, my constant companion, makes me grateful. Whether it be a little verse of sunshine, a book, a play or some past joy or sorrow, I must give thanks for the gift of remembering. It doubles life. AND I am glad that today I am not fearful of the Great Beyond. To the Harvest Lord Heap high the board with plentious cheer and gather to the feast. And toast the sturdy Pilgrim band whose courage never ceased; courage never ceased; Give praise to that All-Gracious One by Give Gracious One by whom their steps weed. And thanks unto the Harvest Lord who sends our daily bread. —Alice Williams Brotherton. Fortunate Americans. When the American citizen looks abroad he feels inclined to give thanks for the possession of a system of government which, despite partisan differences, commands universal respect and confidence. The exceptionally high standard of intelligence which here prevails is a guaranty against sudden movements in opposition to the established order. The vast majority of the American people are capable of analyzing conditions. They keep in close touch with the affairs of the world and with the circumstances of their own land. They are growing steadily in political acumen and are becoming more and more efficiently independent in their determinations. With every peaceful political revolution they strengthen the national foundations by providing outlets for sentiments and dissatisfactions. Mistake Too Many Make. If, on this Thanksgiving season, you feel a great melancholy, a lack, a sense of loss or of life's injustices take this to heart: The cure for every loss and lack is in your own power. The great mistake of the whole world is the belief that some supernal happiness comes with the money to buy and to do certain things. A year is a short time, but set out if you please today, with the definite intention of finding by next November the secret of happiness. A Thanksgiving Poem HANKFUL, each morn, for the bright light of day; Thankful for interest in work and in play; Thankful for those who e'er greet me with love; Thankful for white clouds and blue skies above; Thankful for raiment and thankful for food; Thankful for bird-songs, and flow'rs in the wood; Thankful for showers to freshen the earth; Thankful for sweet sounds of gleeful child mirth; Thankful for e'en Sorrow's softening touch; Thankful for little and thankful for much; Thankful for snowfalls, so peaceful and white; Thankful for moonlight and dark restful night; Thankful for laughter and thankful for tears; Thankful for each of the lengthening years; Thankful for all Thou hast given to me— Heart that can feel deep, and eyes that can see. Margaret G. Haun Setting Aside a Period for Thanksgiving Is a Custom of Remote Antiquity. THE idea is prevalent in the United States that our Thanksgiving is peculiarly an American custom of New England origin. This is true in part only. The general observance through many years of a set day on which to give thanks to Almighty God for his blessings has made the custom distinctively American; but its origin long antedates the settlement of the western continent, and we must look elsewhere for it. The idea of Thanksgiving day goes back to remotest antiquity. It is a part of natural religion, and is probably as old as the human race. In written records, we have ample evidence that the festival was celebrated in connection with "the fruits of the earth" by the ancient Egyptians, the Jews, the Greeks and the Romans. Long before Luther's revolt from Rome in the sixteenth century it had been observed by the Christians; and after the Reformation, Thanksgiving days were in frequent use by the Protestants, especially those of England. The festival appears early in Jewish history, and, as it was connected with the land and its possession, may have had a Canaanitish prototype. Its celebration was annual, and each festival continued through seven days. At the beginning "two vessels of silver were carried in a ceremonious manner to the temple, one full of water, the other of wine, which were poured at the foot of the altar of burnt offerings, always on the seventh day of the festival." Plutarch describes this ceremonial which he believed was a feast of Bacchus. He says: "The Jews celebrate two feasts of Bacchus. In the midst of the vintage they spread tables, spread with all manner of fruits, and live in tabernacles made especially of palms and ivy together. . . . A few days later they kept another festival which was openly dedicated to Bacchus, for they carried boughs of palms in their hands, with which they went into the temple, the Levites going be fore with instruments of music." Analogous to the Jewish festival and possibly borrowed from it was that of the old Greeks, the Thesomorphia. This was a feast to Demeter, the goddess of the harvest. It lasted nine days and consisted of sacrifices of the products of the soil with oblations of "wine, milk and honey." Theocritus refers to it in the "Seventh Idyll," where Simichidas says: "Now, this is our way to the Thalysia; for our friends, in sooth, are making a feast to Demeter of the beautiful robe, offering the first fruits of their abundance, since for them in bounteous manner, the goddess has piled the threshing floor with barley." The Circle of Our Love The strange sweet life we have and own So wondrous is from friends we've known And those anear and those above, Complete the circle of our love; And when we think of these, and pray, We keep, in sooth, Thanksgiving Day! Thanksgiving Fable. A turkey one day observed a peacock in the farm yard and immediately began to find fault with it. "You vain, conceited bird," said the turkey, "you are proud of your looks, and yet you are of no value in the economy of nature. Why do you strut around and regard all others with disdain? "You make a mistake," replied the peacock. "I am not now admiring myself, though I should be excused for doing so. Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, and I was merely indulging in a cakewalk because I am not a big, fat turkey like you." Moral: Beauty is only skin deep, but edibility extends to the bone. Not Copied From the Jews Undoubtedly our present Thanksgiving day has its prototype in the Plymouth thanksgiving festival of 1621. It has been asserted repeatedly that the Plymouth festival was suggested to the Pilgrims by the Jewish "Feast of Ingathering." That is not probable, as the differences between them are more striking than the likenesses. They were of the same duration, each lasting a week; and in common with all other harvest festivals they had the same intent. But in the Jewish festival sacrifice and worship were the prevailing characteristics, while in that of the Pilgrims they were entirely wanting. T Thanksgiving Observances Have Been General Only a Comparatively Short Time. THE day which is now called Thanksgiving day," and which is a formal observance by proclamation of presidents of the United States, usually followed by proclamations of governors of nearly all of the states, has had its poetry, its rhyme which is not poetry, and prosocial literature which is better than either poetry or the rhyme. It was in its origin really a religious observance, the first proclamations being promulgated by provincial governors of very religious New England, Bradford having in history the credit of the first proclamation. Observance was in the beginning desultory, that is, not simultaneous; and it was not general and synthetic really, until 1864, when the first press identical proclamation was issued by Lincoln for a day of thanksgiving because of the apparent approaching end of the Civil war. Naturally that day was not observed by the seceded states, but now it has come to be recognized in nearly all of the states, though in many of them it is not a statutory holiday. It is not, and never was, a national holiday by legislative enactment. Just when the turkey flew in as one of the almost imperative accompaniments of the Thanksgiving table is not worth mentioning, as it is an incident so vague. That fowl, with mince or pumpkin pie as a part of the dessert of the time-honored dinner of the day, has for long years come to be so well recognized that it has been urged as the only logical bird for blazoning on the national escutcheon, the eagle having become mighty "skase," and having been much missed both in this and other countries. In 1859, the morning of June 5, frost killed all that was killable throughout the entire North. In October of the previous year, as will be well remembered by elderly people who were children then, the Donati comet suddenly blazed across the heavens, and for months was one of the most beautiful of spectacles, but, to the superstitious, fear and direful. When the nucleus was low in the northwest in the early evening the "tail" dominated all other celestial phenomena, flowing far past the zenith. The presage of a great Civil war to come was in the air and to those who were in the least superstitious the comet was a sign of calamity near at hand. The freeze of the following June clinched the premonition, and in the fall of the year of the frost there was a quite generally observed day of fasting and prayer It was this sort of recognition of the omnipotence of Deity, solemn and profound and utterly sincere, which in the earlier days of the nation gave foundation to the origin of the days of thanks giving for the good things of human existence, and, when they were not as good as they might have been, that they were no worse than they were. Then the whole custom of setting apart a day for giving thanks to the Almighty grew gradually into that present beautiful intermingling of religious services, reunion of families and friends, feasting and general rejoicing, even if the times were portentous of adversity for some of the peoples of this and other parts of the world. It is peculiarly an American "institution," and our fat and frivolous fow of paradise is its fetish. It is in all its forms and colors, wild or domestic essentially an American bird, our Thanksgiving dinner bird, yesterday and today and forever, beloved by ages and races, and for at least that one day putting the Roman nose of the eagle out of joint. Slow to Find Favor in South. In the South Thanksgiving day was practically unknown till about 1855 when Governor John of Virginia urged the observance of the day in a letter to the legislature; but the idea met with hot opposition, on the ground that it was a "New England superstition," and the small favor it found was completely wiped out by the Civil war. Pessimist Always With Us. "Well," said the cheerless person, "Thanksgiving is all right, but I believe I prefer an old-fashioned Fourth of July." "Why?" "It's cheaper to celebrate. A pack of firecrackers costs a lot less than a turkey."

A year ago in the midst of theBuy-a-bale-of-cotton” excitement he sought to encourage the cotton-growers of the South by buying three bales of handsome profit. The president did not receive any of the money from this sale. In other words, the bale was a clear gift to the organization that dis- posed of it. Another bale was disposed of in Oklahoma, through Senators Owen and Gore, with the understanding that the proceeds from it would gO to some charity, the charity to be selected by the two senators. It is under- stood here that they have bestowed the money on a Masonic home in Okla- homa City. Here again the president was a loser to the extent of the money he put in the bale when he purchased it. The third bale was sold by the president at 10 cents a pound, the price he paid for the three bales. He held on to this third bale a good while, but when one day a telegram came from the warehouse people offering to take the cotton off his hands at the price he paid for it, he answered in the affirmative. How the Bureau of Census Manages to Keep Busy Prone who hold the usual opinion that the census bureau makes enumeration only every ten years and spends the intervening time com- piling the data into various reports are far from the truth. As a matter of precedents created, promises to make much additional work for the bureau. The new activity is the counting of noses between decennial censuses in rapidly growing communities, at local expense. The first town to feel that the census figures of 1910 have been so far outdistanced as to libel the com- munity was Tulsa, Okla. The immediate incentive that made an official “by- census” desirable in this southwestern town was the wish of the local com- mercial club to have the municipality put out a bond issue for improvements that was larger than the corporation, according to its 1910 population rating, could manage. The count was completed in six days, and the bill for ex- penses, slightly over $800, was paid by the Tulsa Commercial club. ‘ Hardly had the first special municipal census been completed when the /consus bureau was called on to begin work on another such job. This time the request was from the municipal government of Hamtramck, Mich., a towr. Just outside of Detroit, that has been greatly enlarged by the location there of a large automobile manufacturing industry. Many Varieties of Trees Found in Washington Tr. intention of the government to create a national arboretum in the upper part of Rock Creek park recalls the apparently little-known fact that already the trees that grow in Washington constitute a vast arboretum, marsh and mountain forms of trees grow in the streets, parks and gardens. It is no doubt true that the part of the city where the greatest number of tree families are represented is the park which surrounds the buildings of the department of agriculture. The place where the next greatest number of tree forms may be seen is either the National Botanic garden or the capitol grounds. There was an effort, and rather a successful effort, to gather in the capitol grounds specimens of most of the trees of the United States which could endure the climate of this latitude. A man who knows something about trees may identify within ten min- utes’ walk Japanese crabapple trees, wild black cherry, chinaberry trees, choke cherries, sassafrass, dogwoods, black haws, sweet gura and blue gum, hawthorne, horse chestnut and many members of the soapberry family. One may look at white and paper mulberry trees, great laurel, Japan lemon, Nor- way, sugar, rock and silver maple, Siberian pea trees, princess trees of the figwort family from China and Japan, and in the capitol grounds will be found silver bell trees of the storax family. Seats of the Mighty Sell for Proverbial Song EATS of the mighty, so frequently coveted, were in little demand here the S other day. Chairs occupied for more than thirty years by prominent judges of the District supreme court, living and dead, when holding confer- carded furniture and equipment of the city hall. «A motley collection of broken chairs, desks and bookcases unused for some time and severul dis- cardol carpets were included in the sale, in addition to the furniture of the old general term consultation room, The equipment of this room remained unchanged from 1882 until last year, when Chief Justice Covington secured new furniture and carpets to replace the old chairs and settees which were much worn and had assumed an unpresentable appearance. Some of the articles offered by the auctioneer brought good prices, but the low figures placed by the crowd on the discarded “judgment seats” wag tho subject of comment.

Re- cently an entirely new field of this sort has been opened up and, now that the ice has been broken and ences in the general-term room on weighty questions of law, sold for the proverbial ““song’ when, offered: at auction by Adam A. Weschler under direction of United States Marshal Splain. Large, roomy, high-backed revolving and tilting chairs, once handsomely upholstered in real leath- er, were “knocked down” at prices ranging from $2 to 50 cents each. ‘The occasion was the triennial sale made by the marsbal outside the court-house briitiing to get rid of dis- carded furniture and equipment of t broken chairs, desks and bookcases u cardo carpets were included in the s: old general term consultation room. | unchanged from 1882 until last year, new furniture and carpets to replace { much worn and had assumed an unpré Some of the articles offered by tt the low figures placed by the crowd o the subject of comment.

Many questions have been asked in regard to the probable fate of new stars, after they have ceased to attract special attention. It has been shown that such stars which have appeared in recent years have been converted into nebulae, and later, in many cases, into extremely faint stars of apparently normal condition Imitation Good and Bad The instinct to imitate is, like most other instincts, highly serviceable. But it has to be kept under control. Before we yield to it we ought to be sure that what we imitate is good. One of the most pitiful things in the world is to see people imitating what is unworthy under the impression that such imitation seems creditable. NOTICE.

I took all kinds of medicine no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was unable to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. I was such a patient that I needed to go to an inermery, a friend heard of my inquiries and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and discomfort of the use of your Remedy. I took a bottle which swept the greasemass from my system including a number of medications, and am now up and able to perform my duties. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, coated tongue, slugs on rising in the morning, and gas on my stomach, and I am now up and able to receive advice, and am now up and able to perform my duties.
