Colorado Statesman

PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY MAJOR MOTON NEW HEAD OF TUSKEGEE VOL. XX11. The committee appointed by the trustees of Tuskegee Institute to select a successor to the late Booker T. Washington as principal of Tuskegee, reported December 20 unanimously in favor of Major Moton. The following gentlemen comprising the committee met in New York, and after a thorough investigation, made their selection: Seth Low, chairman; W. W. Campbell of Tuskegee, Ala.; Victor H. Tulane of Montgomery; Frank Trumbull of New York and formerly of Denver, Colo. The committee in making the appointment said a compliment to the secretary, Emmett J. Scott, in the following: "In taking this action the committee has not been unmindful of the long devotion and many qualifications of Emmett J. Scott for the position. The problem to be dealt with is a many-sided one, and it has seemed wise to seek a solution of it that will bring to the work of Tuskegee another forceful personality." The Colorado Statesman congratulates Major Moton on his promotion to this position, especially from the fact that the editor is an alumnus of Hampton class of 1882, and wishes him every success in his new sphere, realizing the responsibility devolved on him and believing him to be a worthy successor to a great man. The installation will take place at commencement in May, when his new duties will start, and the same faithfulness, we trust, will guide him at Tuskegee as it now does at Hampton. The following expression from Major Moton, on learning of his appointment, proves his ability to grasp the position: "I accept this great responsibility with a sense of anxious humility. Dr. Washington was truly a great man, viewed from every angle. I cannot fill his place; but with the guidance and support of Tuskegee's wise and sympathetic board of Trustees, and with the earnest co-operation and loyal help of the faithful and efficient corps of workers whom Dr. Washington gathered about him at Tuskegee, I will endeavour, to the best of my ability, to carry forward the work to which he gave his life in the same spirit and with the same rational methods which he so wisely and so successfully used." We feel sure these words will live in his memory and afford the successful career which lies before him. THE BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL FUND. The trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute met at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Monday, December 13th, and decided to make an effort to raise Two Million Dollars, to be known as "The Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund of Two Million Dollars," in memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. The statement of the Board as issued by Hon. Seth Low, Chariman, follows: Tuskegee Institute is Booker T. Washington's monument, and his most fitting memorial is the perpetuation of its great work for the benefit of the colored people and for the promotion of helpful relations between the races. The gap at present existing between the ordinary income of the Institute and its annual outgo is approximately $150,000. It is not desired to close this gap so completely as to make the Institute independent of the interest and support of the living, but it is desired to reduce this gap to manageable proportions. The trustees therefore propose to invite subscriptions to THE BOOKER T| WASHINGTON MEMORIAL FUND OF TWO MILLION ($2,000,000 DOLLARS for the continuance of the Institute and of the work for the Negro race which centers there. It is hoped and expected that $250,000 of this sum will be given by Negroes, out of which fund a suitable memorial for Booker T. Washington will be erected on the grounds of the Institute. The trustees have already received subscriptions of more than $450,000, some of which, but not all, are conditional upon larger sums being raised. The Negroes may, therefore, feel that every dollar they give will be met more than dollar for dollar by gifts from white people. The Fund to be invited from the Negro people will be managed from Tuskegee Institute and will be under the charge of Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the Institute. Other subscriptions to the Memorial Fund should be sent to William G. Wilcox, Treasurer of the Investment Committee, 3 South William Street, New York City, or to Warren Logan, Treasurer of the Institute, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. NICK CHILES ILL.

THE BLACK HUNDRED The following epic, composed by our special Washington correspondent, is peculiarly descriptive of the present condition of the American Negro after fifty years of incomplete and purely nominal freedom. It is quite a coincidence that the last stanza epitomizes the thought expressed by Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard in his New York Evening Post commentary on the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington, when he says: "If only we can bring ourselves to strike from the limbs of Lincoln's freedmen the shackles of ignorance, oppression, prejudice and injustice." Fifty years! Fifty years! How stands the verdict? Still in the valley of doubt Gropes the Black Hundred. Upward! the black brigade; "Stand firm; be brave," was said. "Manhood's rights yourselves must gain. Striving hard with brawn and brain; Forward! Black Hundred." Onward! the black brigade; Is there a soul dismayed?

Booker ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION DR. DAN WILLIAMS R R SURGEONS' GUEST Chicago. Ill., Dec. 21.—The ninth annual meeting of the Surgical Association of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway was held this year at Rochester, Minn.. December 10 and 11. The program consisted of clinical demonstrations advanced bone work, the showing of slides of interesting and unusual fractures, and the readiness and discussion of papers on the more practical subjects in railway surgery. The morning of each day was devoted to special clinics at St Marys Hospital, to which all members were invited. The afternoons were devoted to addresses, one of which was by R. C. Richards, general claim agent, and the reading of short practical papers and discussions There was a short business session the second afternoon for the election of officers. On Friday evening, December 10, a session was held at which addresses, iustrated by lantern slides were given T. Washington, the most remarkable man of the Negro race in modern times, died at his home, Tuskegee Institute, on the 14th of November. He was born in Virginia about the year 1859. The story of his early struggle to be educated is well known. He entered Hampton Institute and worked his way through and up. He was asked to start a similar institution, and Tuskegee is the outcome. He lived for his beloved institute, because through it he saw the elevation of his race, and now he has died for it. Worn out with his labors, he passed away at a comparatively early age. But he has left behind him a magnificient record of what determination, perseverance and courage, coupled with the fear of God, can do. Two or three years ago, when deputies were sent over from Jamaica to take part in a great conference we heard many references to the "Tuskegee spirit." The man Booker T. Washington has passed, but his soul—his spirit—goes marching on. He has lived to good purpose. He has given demonstration of what can be done for and by the race in the Southern States. He was a wonderfully magnetic speaker, and he was a remarkably practical man. Tuskegee is his monument. The young people of Jamaica cannot do better than became acquainted with the work and writings of the late Booker Washington. They will find inspiration from the high ideal that he has set before the students and before every audience he addressed. PULLMAN WORKERS GET $600,000 WAGE RAISE Chicago, Dec. 27 — Salary increases aggregating $600,000 for the year 1916 will be a New Year gift to the Pullman company to certain of its employes. Five hundred thousand dollars of it will go to conductors and porters, and the remainder to various agents. They number 9,000 out of 27,000 employes. Workers in manufacturing and repair plants are not included. At the Chicago sessions of the United States commiss on on industrial relations, it was testified that the wages of conductors on Pullman cars were very low and that porters were practically dependent upon tips. Later, Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City, chairman of the commission, said that at Washington, Robert T. Lincoln, chairman of the board of the company, promised that the directors would consider the matter of the pay of conductors and porters. At the offices of the company today, it was intimated that the advance long NO 20 had been contemplated and that, if anything, attacks by witnesses before the commission delayed rather than accelerated the move. The advance is said to be about 10 per cent for conductors, and more than that for porters. At the commission hearings it was testified that conductors start work at $70 a month, are raised to $75 at the end of two years, and that the maximum is $100 a month. One porter said he received $42.50 a month, and often made $75 additional in tips WHEN MALINDY SINGS. The following poem of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar is considered by many to be one of his best: G'way an' quit dat noise, Miss Lucy— Put dat music book away; What's de use to keep on tryin'?

'DRY LAW ENFORCERS" FIND MANY TRICKY TERMS. State, District and County Officials Hold Meeting at Capitol to Consider Prohibition PenaltyLaw. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Interpretations of many points of the prohibition penalty law were generally agreed upon Tuesday by the district attorneys and sheriffs of the state in a special meeting held at the capitol for consideration of enforcement of the law when it goes into effect Jan. 1. But upon one point of wide interest to the public there was a divergence of opinion. Some held that under the law a person cannot give away to guests in his home liquor imported into the state after Jan. 1. Others held that an individual can give such liquor to friends on the condition that the liquor is imported for his own personal use and the giving of it is merely incidental. Attorney General Farrar and many others hold that the imported liquor can be given away in a private home within limits determined by its use. John Rush, district attorney of Denver, and others, believe that only liquor on hand Jan. 1 can be given away in the homes afterward and that the wording of the law strictly prohibits the giving away of imported liquor, thus confining it absolutely to the use of the importer. Under the later interpretation a man could give the imported liquor to his family, that being construed as personal use, but not to a friend who happened to be in the house. Provisions of the law that will undoubtedly be surprising to the general public were brought out in the discussions and generally agreed upon. Among these were: That, under an interpretation of the law by the attorney general, persons living in hotels will be violating the law if they keep liquor in their rooms in the hotels. Attorney General Farrar holds that the law, by specifically mentioning hotels and rooming and boarding houses, puts them outside the classification of private homes. Although a man and his wife, or a single man, make their homes in rooms in hotels they will be violating the law if they give away or even keep liquor in their rooms. Liquor cannot be kept in clubs at all. It will be a violation of the law for a person to carry liquor for personal use from one county to another or from another state into Colorado without registering the fact and the amount with the county clerk. Persons importing liquor as freight will have to go to the freight houses to get the liquor themselves, unless the railroads install delivery services; a delivery of liquor by an agent is forbidden. Express or other shipments delivered directly by the carrier can be received only by the consignee in person. A man's wife, son or brother can not sign the necessary affidavit of receipt for him. Whether "near beers," soda pop and other "soft" drinks that contain alcohol are intoxicating beverages and prohibited from sale will have to be determined as subjects of fact. There appeared to be a preponderance of opinion that persons importing liquor after Jan. 1 can give the liquor away in their homes. Boulder Tungsten Output $1,687,329.50; Boulder.—Tungsten has formed by far the greatest bulk of the mineral output of Boulder county during the year 1915, according to the report of Secretary F. E. Eckel of the Boulder Commercial Association and Secretary D. W. Thomas of the Longmont association. They find that 2,880,903 pounds of the black metal were mined during the year. The value of the output they place at $1,687,329.50. The total value of the mineral output of the county they estimate at $1,821,317.10. The report shows that the agricultural output of the county is much greater than the mineral product. It is valued at $2,536,895. R. C. Dickens Asks Ball. Boulder, Colo.—With an affidavit in which he admits practically all the evidence secured by the authorities to be used against him in his trial is true, Rienzi Dickens, held in the local jail for the murder of his father, W.

Greeley.—Thomas Markle, 90, the oldest survivor of the Civil War in Weld county, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. Dean, at La Salle from grip.

Corporation Tax Yields $410.112 Denver—Colorado's prosperity became more apparent than ever in a report from Washington which showed that the federal corporation tax levied on incomes in Colorado for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, yielded more than $100,000 above the tax for the previous year.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Washington's own contribution to the work at Tuskegee was first the plan, then the finding of money to sustain it. He had the address and the kind of persistence which win money from the rich for beneficent purposes. He was perhaps the most successful solicitor of funds the country has ever known. For more than twenty years he has ranged up and down the country setting forth his purposes at Tuskegee, exploiting the effects of his work, and through these appeals winning financial support. The great establishment at Tuskegee, now liberally endowed, is a monument to his industry, his powers of exposition, and of his absolute devotion to a great cause. Ten years ago or more Mr. Andrew Carnegie made direct provision of a fund of $100,000 for Washington's personal benefit. At the time it was predicted that being thus removed from the possibilities of individual necessity Washington's energies in behalf of Tuskegee would suffer a decline. But not so. Up to the day of his death he gave to the institute the same unearying devotion that he had given it in his own days of poverty. It is not too much to say of Booker Washington that the example of his Tuskegee school affected profoundly the educational fashion of the country. Twenty years ago a distinguished man wrote to a famous college president asking if he knew where a white boy might get precisely the training afforded to colored youth at Tuskegee. The inquiry startled the educational world in the sense that it exhibited the practical deficiencies of our system. The effect of it was to stimulate the industrial and vocational idea throughout the country. Because of a late ruling of the county court at Tulsa, Okla., in which the owner of an oil lease is forced to turn over to the lessee the royalty oil instead of its equivalent, Sarah Rector, one of the very rich, if not the richest Negro girl in Oklahoma and probably in all the world, now is receiving in royalties $2,000 more a month than formerly. According to this ruling her guardian, J. T. Porter, is permitted to sell this royalty oil in the open market at the highest price available, and has entered into a contract with an oil company to buy it at ten cents premium a barrel, the market price being 80 cents, the price at which she was compelled to sell before this decision was rendered. This girl, who was born in poverty and ignorance, suddenly became very wealthy when about ten years of age. Like all other Negro children of freedman parents living in the Creek nation, she inherited the right to choose or have chosen for her 160 acres of Creek land. Her land was leased to oil prospectors, and when developed became exceedingly valuable. It is said the least now produces 160,000 barrels a month, one-eighth of which is her royalty. This amount, at 90 cents a barrel, brings her $18,000 a month. As several independent refineries are in the market to buy oil at a premium it is probable many other guardians will take advantage of Judge Campbell's ruling. It is estimated that the churches in the United States spent on Negro education during 1912-13 $2,000,000. The Methodist Episcopal church leads the Whenever all the colored people of a community unite earnestly in asking and working sanely and wisely for a needed improvement, whether it is a better schoolhouse, a manual training or cooking equipment, better teachers, better sanitation, or anything else worth while, they usually get it. Scores of delegates at the recent third annual meeting of the Negro Organization society, which was held in Petersburg, Va., testified to this truth. Maj. R. R. Moton, commandant at Hampton institute and president of the society, said, in part: "The movement among colored people for better schools, better homes, better health, better farms, seems to have made an irresistible appeal to all the people of the state. Religious, benevolent, secret, and educational organizations of every character have joined in this movement. Leading white people, including the officials of the Virginia boards of health, education and of charities and correction, have been most cordial in their support. "The state-wide campaign for clean premises, clean homes and clean lives Last year the new wealth produced on American farms was officially placed at about ten billion dollars. This year it will be nearer eleven billion dollars than ten billion dollars. After three years of work a government committee has recommended a uniform system of weights and measures for all India. Honey and wax to the value of more than six million dollars are produced annually in the United States. denominations in the amount of money given. This church gave for the year $412,303. The Congregational church (through the American Missionary society) leads in the matter of permanent endowment for work among Negroes. A report says: "As typical church organizations doing extensive work among Negroes, the following are given: The Congregational church has 65 schools, 12,097 students, and a permanent endowment of over $2,000,000. The Methodist Episcopal church had 22 schools, with 6,588 students, and it has about $1,500,000 invested in school plants. The American Baptist home mission board has 24 schools, 7,351 students, and about $1,250,000 invested in school plants. The Presbyterian board of missions for freedmen has 136 schools (112 of them given as elementary), 16,427 students, and not quite $1,000,000 invested in school plants." Another report concerning denominational education for Negroes closes by saying: "The secretaries of the various church boards at their semiannual meeting in Washington, D. C., February 2, laid definite plans for the future in the following particulars: As far as possible there would be in the future no duplication between private and public schools; the various Negro schools would be standardized; and the denominations would act in concert in preventing schools under different denominational control from occupying the same territory." J. M. Gandy, president of the State Normal school at Petersburg, who is the executive secretary of the Negro Organization society, reported that in one year over 5,000 people had been addressed on subjects relating to community improvements; 502 school terms had been lengthened; 604 school leagues had been reached; $340 had been given to five schools, and that these small gifts had inspired the people to raise thousands upon thousands of dollars for their own schools. T. C. Erwin of Petersburg, the society's field agent, reported that 347 organizations and 643 individuals had become members of the Negro Organization society. Professor Erwin has been at work in 38 Virginia counties. He has carried a message of new hope through organization to thousands of men and women. He has reached school improvement leagues in 19 counties and has aroused the people to the necessity of practicing self-help and working out a constructive plan. Several hundred delegates attended the annual meeting and heard addresses by Mayor Cabaniss and Prof. James E. Shields of Petersburg; Rev. Dr. L. L. Downing, Roanoke; Prof. S. C. Atkins, Winston-Salem, N. C.; W. T. B. William, Hampton institute; J. H. Binford, Jackson Davis, Ennion G. Williams, R. C. Stearnes and Miss Agnes D. Randolph of Richmond; Principal E. A. Long of Christiansburg, Dr. W. E. Atkins and Mrs. Janie Porter Barret of Hamptcn, and many other white and colored speakers, who are experts in community improvement.

Extensive work has been begun to prove definitely whether petroleum can be found in South America. has received help and support that was little dreamed of. The two races have been brought together on the ground of common needs of humanity. We have given white people a chance which they have long desired—a chance to help the Negro without compromise or embarrassment. They have met us more than half way. "I am most anxious that we shall continue to be sane and wise in what we do and say, and not be swept off our feet by those who feel that the great problems of humanity can be solved by abusing those with whom we do not agree." Reports from delegates, including many women, showed clearly that hundreds of rural communities are waking up to the possibility of making genuine progress by having people work together for commen economic and social interests, regardless of religious or fraternal affiliations. Ideas gathered at preceding meetings have been carried to distant rural districts, and have been the means of emancipating thousands from the bonds of poor health, inferior schools and unattractive homes and churches.

RESOLUTIONS FOR NEW YEAR. It was a great year: Vale '15; we are much obliged. Welcome '16 let us get better acquainted. The best resolution to enter the new years is: "I will not knock—my hammer is buried; I will do the best I can, every time I can, in every way I can, whether the other fellow does me good or not." TRUTHFULNESS. The one thing that has done more than anything else to retard our success and hinder progress in this community is a lack of downright truthfulness. Carelessness in handling the truth has destroyed confidence and interest in each other's purpose and welfare, and left each one of us to mistrust the other. Many of the enemies we have made is the result of our having deceived them. A man prefers that we be honest with him even if we are against him and have a preference for another. There is no use in lying. It is a malicious habit and the facts are certain in due time to come to the surface and make against us in the end. We need every man's respect and friendship and we only have and retain it on the basis of truthfulness. When people understand that we will not lie or for them they are willing to converse freely, but when they are skeptical about our reliability they will withhold much that is important. Truthfulness is dual in its nature. A man that won't lie himself, first, will not lie on others; and, second, will not believe or use lies told to him. Thus if a man will resolve to take the right understanding of facts and clear the atmosphere of intrigue and dishonesty. Denver needs a revival of old-time truthfulness. It will no more in re-establishing confidence and rehabilitate the race with hope and courage and purpose than anything that could possibly come to us now. THE BOY THE FATHER OF THE MAN In thinking over the divorce evil to which reference was made in these columns some months ago we felt we did not go to the bottom of the question. This great question is not gotten at from the right view point. The real man or woman is desernable in the boy and girl today. There is no disguising the fact that the child tyrant in the home today will be the man or woman tyrant in the home in a few short years. It is the thoughtless, heedless, careless, labor making child today that will make the same kind of husband or wife a few years after. It is the boy who is impudent to his mother and seniors today that will treat his wife with disrespect tomorrow. It would be an excellent thing if young people who intend to wed would find out what kind of treatment their lovers accorded to their mothers and sisters, and in this way they would be able to know what treatment the wife might expect in the future for the guarantee of the future lies in the ever present. Temper, disposition, habits, faults are modified sometimes by experience, environments, etc., but on the whole, the man of tomorrow is in the boy today and this fact is the best estimate we can place upon character, kindness, courtesy, gallanty, patience, consideration, must be in the boy or it will never appear in the man. Let the mothers of the present feel a greater sense of responsibility for the happiness of the homes of the future and those homes will be made happier. The divorce should get its first and real settlement at the hands of the mothers today. COPYING AND IMITATING We have often come in contact with people, especially of our race, who are continually charging us with the above tendency as if a terrible crime is being engaged in (they arguing that we are not originators, but copyists and imitators), and we take this opportunity of showing the benefits and advantages to be obtained if we copy and imitate good ideas and examples set us by other races. On reliable historical records we base our contention that nations once in barbarism and heathenism, actually void of the beauty and grandeur of civilization, emerged from darkness into light by adopting measures towards their advancement which were offered them by self-sacrificing men who laid down their lives for the purpose of leaving standards and setting up perpetual monuments, which when followed, resulted in benefits that were handed down from age to age. Originators seem to be in a class by themselves, but do we ever stop to think that nothing would be heard of an original plan if it did not find acceptance and encouragement, getting the support that would give it prominence in a community. In this particular we are greatly hampered in this country, as from lack of loyalty to one another, pride in the interests of our business, etc., strongly backed up by the cruel arm of prejudice from the other side, even when we are responsible for the production of anything great and good, it is hardly ever known, and if known, for the most part so discouraged that we lose the claim and the credit of its origin. In spite of all these we must aver that it is wisdom to copy the good features and imitate the ideals of other races as they can serve no other purpose and can bring no other results but the best, which must push us to the front, where we will take our place with others as time rolls on. Copy everything that's good; get away from the bad. The former is meritorious of success, triumph, reward; the latter spells loss and ruin, and in the majority of cases we lose to such an extent that our action is almost irretrievable and our loss irrecoverable. Business tactics, constructive policies, get-together spirits, unanimity of ideas, educational assemblies, financial combinations are some of the standards set us by other people, and surely there is everything to gain in being accused as copyists of such qualities which must bring us unlimited resources. Follow, then, that which is of good, is good, and the inevitable will therefore result. COLORADO IN PROHIBITION GARB. Today, January 1, 1916, presents the State of Colorado to the nation in a new garb—that of PROHIBITION—the same being voted by the people at a regular election, endorsed by the Legislature and ratified by the Supreme Court. The most important feature of this reformation confronts the authorities, in seeing that the law is strictly obeyed and the moral results anticipated by the prohibition and anti-saloon leaders achieved. It is a well-known fact that in every city or state that is dry, liquor is dispensed illegally by certain individuals who disregard the statutes for the purpose of gain, and though detected in some instances, society is not the better off, as they are only fined by the court, which fines can be easily paid by the collections gotten from their sales. We ought then, as honest, law-abiding citizens, to help enforce the law by individual as well as collective action, and the giving of our assistance to the authorities to suppress any breach of the prohibition law would be amply rewarded by the great improvement in the social and moral welfare of our community. In the city of Denver we were in favor of LOCAL OPTION and opposed to prohibition by our majority votes, and our efforts on the "home rule" amendment before the courts having been lost. Now we say to the "drys" we respectfully bow to the will of the people, and the most rigid action should be taken to make the city dry in reality. The Governor in a special meeting with the Attorney General, the District Attorneys, Sheriffs and other peace officers has planned to combat with "bootleggers" in a manner that will save the taxpayers the great burden that will fall on them in the costs of prosecutions, and the cooperation of these officials and the entire body of citizens ought to have the matter well in hand to bring about the success they hope for. By these strict actions it is a surety that the results will be BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY, and the State of Color in her new garb, may improve by leaps and bounds. The "Wets" are dead and buried. Their resurrection is left with the people. We cannot prophesy. --- If the question "What is to be done with our girls?" was more carefully considered and more wisely determined, the other problem, "What to do with the boys," would be easier of solution. Household Work Is Most Honorable By Wells Andrews, M. D., Chicago If the question "What is to be done with our girls?" was more carefully considered and more wisely determined, the other problem, "What to do with the boys," would be easier of solution. Why should girls be raised in idleness? Why should work and service be considered a disgrace by them? Why should the home be filled with ignorant and half-trained servants to waste and annoy, when there are two or three almost useless daughters in the household, who would be healthier in mind and body if each took her share of the work in every department of the home? Fathers and brothers devote themselves to earnest service, but the wife and daughters too often sit in comparative idleness, demanding to be served. It is just here that the social life of the great middle class of Americans, especially in the cities, is so sadly defective. In this false home training of girls the body politic is hurt, for in that training lies the fruitful source of one of the most deplorable of all social evils. Young men, unless they are rich or in prosperous business, cannot afford to marry. The cost of supporting a woman who thinks it degrading to make a loaf of bread, cook a dinner or wash the dishes is too great for most young men who have to depend solely upon their own hands and brains for a livelihood. A great many take the risk and burden with a half blind confidence that all will come out right. But too many of these, after a few years, find themselves hopelessly in debt, while the family expenses go on steadily increasing. Then come shifts and expedients, the breaking up of homes and boarding in order to reduce the cost of living. Is all this chargeable to the false education of girls? Too much of it. And until they are taught that work and service are as honorable to them as to their brothers and idleness as wrong and disgraceful, there will be little or no change for the better in social life. Girls should be trained from the beginning to regard all household work as good and honorable. To be skilled in every department of home economy is as much a woman's duty as it is the duty of a man to be skilled in the trade or calling by which he is to become the breadwinner for his family. Let duty and service be set before girls as the highest end of life and pleasure and self-indulgence as the lowest. False sentiment reverses this. And it is causing sad disasters in many homes, homes built upon the sands of pride and self-indulgence, instead of upon the solid foundation of prudence, industry, economy and a loving self-sacrifice. How to Live on Farm Is Problem By MARY L. OBERLIN, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo. Someone has said that the farmer's family faces two problems—how to make a living on a farm and how to live on a farm. Although many people would answer unhastingly that How to Live on Farm Is Problem BY MARY L. OBERLIN, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo. Someone has said that the farmer's family faces two problems—how to make a living on a farm and how to live on a farm. Although many people would answer unhesitatingly that every one knows how to live on a farm, while how to make a living is a very real problem, there is, after all, some doubt as to which is the greater problem. Successful living in any place depends primarily upon the spiritual and mental attitude. One must be in sympathy with the natural environment in which he finds himself. The family on the farm must have a feeling of permanency. They must believe that it is the best place for them to live, the ideal place for a home, the place where the children have the best opportunity to develop strong bodies, sound minds and the characteristics that make for efficiency. They must be open-minded and try to learn whatever they can that will improve farm conditions. They must believe in wholesome recreation for themselves and every member of their household. They must realize that all the really worth while things of the city, such as household conveniences and labor-saving devices, opportunities for deducation, for the enjoyment of music, art or literature and the companionship of others, are within their reach at some times and in some forms. When they are convinced of these things and have learned "to love the wind and the rain, the growing things, the birds, and all the rest, the dawn, the early morning odors, and to find each part of the day, each twilight and each nightfall filled with wonders," they will know how to live on a farm, and how to make a living on a farm will be less of a problem. No Help for the Panama Slides By Andrew Dade, Civil Engineer, Chicago No Help for the Panama Slides By Andrew Dade, Civil Engineer, Chicago Slides have been more frequent in the Panama canal in the last year than before the ditch was opened for navigation, but that was to be expected. I have visited the canal on several occasions, just before this government took it over from the French and several times since construction began under supervision of Colonel Goethals. When the board of engineers visited the canal at the outset the subject of slides was much discussed, and it was agreed that it would be a long time even after the completion of the canal before it would be entirely free from slides. No matter how thoroughly the work might be done, no engineering foresight could guard against the work of nature, and we have just got to be patient until Gold hill and other great bodies of earth get through pouring their dirt into the ditch. Meantime steamship lines operating the all-water, coast-to-coast route by way of the canal may be expected to lose by the unexpected interruption. It has been estimated that as a result of the recent disastrous slide the steamship companies lost in the neighborhood of $1,000,000 by reason of being tied up for an indefinite period. With steamer rates at the present high level, it is said that the average daily cost to steamship companies for holding a vessel at either terminal is not less than $1,500 a day. Of course the government can do nothing. There Are no Hundred Best Books By J. P. WARRINGTON, New York I like the way in which the most incongruous titles and subject-matters drift together on my bedroom shelf. It does me good to see how close a pious tractate and a blasphemous There Are no Hundred Best Books By J. P. WARRINGTON, New York I like the way in which the most incongruous titles and subject-matters drift together on my bedroom shelf. It does me good to see how close a pious tractate and a blasphemous brochure entitled, "Les Moines: Comedie Satirique," nestle there in peace. The life of a member of the Society of Friends, long a missionary at home and abroad, jostles the latest sophistry of Anatole France; and when, by a piece of unassisted coincidence, Crevecoeur's delightful "Letters From an American Farmer" stands beside William Barnes' "Poems of Rural Life," I am a thousandfold better pleased than I could ever have been by any intentional arrangement of these books together. What though a "Nonsense Anthology," a "History of Witchcraft Since the Middle Ages" and "Principal Sharp's Poetry and Philosophy" rub one another just a little rudely? Such a juxtaposition can do poetry and philosophy no lasting harm—and it pleasantly piques my sense of the grotesque. After all, there are no hundred best books—no hundred worst ones.

The finest decorations for the holiday season were in evidence at the above club, and the compliments on Manager Frank Burnley for his endeavors to present to the members something new and attractive at all times and under all circumstances were well merited. Everything that can be done for the comfort of members and their guests, finds an immediate action with the manager, resulting in his increased popularity. We trust Manager Burnley may long be spared to continue his activities which make his rest and recreation rooms among the best in the country. The annual election of Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 2320, G.

Seth Low, chairman of the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute, who is passing through the city, to address the citizens of Denver at 3 o'clock on the subject, "My Estimate of Tuskegee Institute." This honorable gentleman, who is ex-mayor of New York and was one of the presidents of Columbia University, New York, brings a message which will delight all admirers and sympathizers of the work that the late Booker T.

Sermon topics Sunday, January 2, 1916: "11 a. m., "Recconciliation;" 4:30 p. m., prayer and meditation;" 5 p. m., Holy Communion. The Christmas exercises were in advance of similar services during past years. The Sabbath school scholars rendered a most creditable program in connection with the tree in the Chapel on Christmas Eve. Every scholar in good and regular standing with their friends, were remembered in the distribution of Christmas tokens. Perhaps the most gratifying feature of the season's activities was the note the splendid communicant membership that partook of the Lord's Supper at the services 6 o'clock Christmas morning. Owing to the heavy snowfall on the Sabbath the services were not attended as well as if the weather were more favorable, nevertheless everything was done with the greatest success. Offertory for the services being $39.74. The music as usual was up to the standard. The solo selections of Mesdames Irene Fife, Pearl Rese, Lilly Hughes and Miss Mabel Cole deserve special mention. Messrs. C. A. Clark and Wilfred Brickler maintained their reputation as tenor singers, whilst the other members of the choir, with Miss Cleo Hobson at the piano, Mr. Spratlin at the organ, Master Atwel Rose at the violin, Mrs. M. E. Morrison at the Trombone, ably performed their assignments. New Year's Sunday the music will be repeated in part. The Poor People's Mission, with Mrs. M. E. Morrison as superintendent, had their Christmas tree on Christmas day in the afternoon. The hall was tastily decorated, the presents many. The program prepared by Mrs. Morrison, and recited by the children, with her helpers from the People's church, speaks volume of praise for the consecrated efforts of this splendid woman. What is needed now at the Mission is more workers to help Mrs. Morrison. Without question the People's church was in advance of past years in the decoration which was rather unique. Mrs. Vera Finney was ably assisted by the corps of willing workers among the membership. Everybody is invited to take part in the services for the week of prayer which begins from Sunday, the 2nd, to Sunday, the 9th. Speakers as follows: Monday night, Drs. Ross, Campbell, Fry, Lang, Bell and West. SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES. Rev. Robert L. Pope, B. D., Pastor. Our pastor will fill the pulpit tomorrow morning and the subject of his New Year's message will be, "No Oil in Your Lamp." Despite the severe weather the Christmas festivities of the church were well directed, and largely attended. On Friday evening, the Sunday school Santa Claus sprang a number of surprises upon the little folks, but they were agreeable ones and every one repaired from church with light hearts singing the praises of Mr. Geo. C. King, Mesdames Fannie Brown and Mary E. Wade and the Sunday school officers. The choir rendered Fred B. Holton's popular Christmas cantata, "The Christmas King," at the early morning service Saturday before a very appreciative audience, and to the rendition inspired and pleased the hearers to the extent that there was a general demand for its repetition next Sunday evening at 7:30, which request has been granted and the public will be given another opportunity to witness the rendition of this high class cantata, which will be done so effectively that it will almost be a crime not to hear it. Miss Jennie M. Hicks, Mrs. G. N. Ross, Messrs, S. A. Bondurant and Geo. Morrison, as well as the entire choir, are growing in popularity. Our pastor preached a splendid Christmas sermon Sunday morning and the following persons were welcomed into our fellowship: Mesdames Alice Kimbrough, 2527 Clarkson; Ida Randolph, 421 25th street; Gora Robinson, 2306 Orden Our sick list is unusually large and includes the following: Mrs. Wm. Walton, 2946 Arapahoe; Mrs. Stamps, 3435 Lawrence; Mrs. Elizabeth Cook, 201 Perry; Minnie Hayes, 2227, Arapahoe; Bettie Jones, 815 Gaylord; Mrs. Ida Waite, 3720 Downing; Mrs. J. M. Atkinson, 2230 Curtis; Mrs. Walter Cooper, 2632 Marion and Mrs. Mary Lewis, 2540 Lafayette. Sister Cooper continues very sick; let the church remember her at the mercy seat. The others on the list are well on the way to restoration.

Here is one way of saving them. Chop rather coarsely, cook in a little butter, dredge with flour, add seasonings and cream, when hot serve with baked potatoes. one way of saving them. Chop rai ther coarsely, cook in a little butter, dredge with flour, add seasonings and cream, when hot serve with baked potatoes. Codfish Puffs, — Mix codfish and mashed potatoes as for codfish balls, place in a buttered baking dish, brush with the white of an egg and brown in a hot oven. Serve from the dish in which it was baked. Carrots are good cooked until tender, then mashed and seasoned with a little lemon juice and rind, using plenty of butter and a few dashes of cayenne. Serve garnished with parsley. Any leftover cake may be steamed and served with a cold or hot custard, making a nice, simple and easily prepared dessert. Queen Pudding.—Heat three-quarters of a cupful of milk, add the beaten yolks of three eggs, three tablespoonfuls of sugar and three tablespoonfuls of chopped raisins. Add two teaspoonfuls of gelatin to a half cupful of hot water and add to the first mixture. While still warm add the beaten whites of the eggs, flavor with vanilla and put into a mold. Serve with cream. Nut Cream Pie.—In a double boiler cook a cupful of milk with a cupful of sugar. Add the yolks of three eggs and a tablespoonful of flour, then the juice of a lemon and half a cupful of peacan nut meats, chopped. Bake a single crust and pour in the nut filling; cover the top with a meringue made of the whites of the eggs. Brown and serve cold. Orange Preserve.—Wash oranges and cut them in slices a fourth of an inch thick, cover with cold water, a pint to each orange, and let them stand 24 hours. Cook them in the water until tender but not soft, add one pound of sugar and the juice of a lemon for each orange. Cook until transparent. Place in glasses and cover with paraffin. A slice of this preserve with a little of the sirup makes plain ice cream appear very stylish. A SYMPOSIUM OF SALADS. Because it is winter need not deter us from enjoying our daily salad, for there are numberless combinations which may be prepared with the foods at hand. Those who enjoy grapefruit will find no more delicious salad than the grapefruit carefully removed from the skin and heaped on head lettuce. Sprinkle it with chopped almonds and dress with a there are numberless combinations which may be prepared with the foods at hand. Those who enjoy grapefruit will find no more delicious salad than the grapefruit carefully removed from the skin and heaped on head lettuce. Sprinkle it with chopped almonds and dress with a spoonful of mayonnaise. Pear sprinkled with preserved ginger and dressed with mayonnaise arranged on lettuce is another well liked combination. For a simple salad which may be quickly prepared, chopped apple, a few raisins and a little celery with any boiled dressing is good, but with the addition of nuts it is much better. Date Salad.—Clean and stone a pounds of dates removing all the fiber. Cut three oranges in thin slices after removing all the peeling. Mix a cupful each of chopped apple and celery and half the dates with any good salad dressing. Place the center slice of orange on a bed of lettuce, spread with the apple mixture and cover with the next slice in size, then another layer of apple and dates and another slice. Top the salad with a generous spoonful of mayonnaise. Fruit Salad.—Wash and cut in strips a pound of figs. Remove the pulp from two oranges without breaking the sections; slice three bananas, cover with a tablespoonful of lemon juice, mix all together and serve with a few sliced nuts on lettuce with any desired dressing. Pineapple Salad—Take a can of grated pineapple, mix with a cupful of white grapes, seeded and peeled; a half a cupful of pecans, broken in bits; a cupful of marshallows, cut in quarters; a cupful of whipped cream, to which two tablespoonfuls of boiled dressing has been added; served in red apple cups is a most delightful salad in both appearance and taste. Neeleie Maxwell Rear Admiral William H. Emory, while attached to the navy yard, New York, had under his command a young Barbados negro whom he enlisted as a mess attendant while at the islands. The admiral was busily engaged with a large amount of official mail when the mess attendant came in hurriedly announcing: "A message from the general, sah." "General who?" inquired the admiral. "General Delibery, sah." replied the innocent looking negro, handing the admiral a general delivery letter. TO TAKE THE PLACE OF SOUP Some Appetizers Which Will Prove Acceptable If It Should Be Only for a Change. Nowadays in many households an appetizer or an entree is served for dinner instead of soup. A fruit appetizer is often tempting. Grapefruit in any form, in its own shell, garnished with a maraschino cherry, or cut in dice, and served in cups or mixed with a little orange or pineapple, is always good. Diced pineapple, with sugar and a little lemon juice sprinkled over it, is also good. Then there are the various sorts of canapes—tiny strips of toast spread with some fruit titbit. Any of the fish pastes can be used and garnished with sliced hard-boiled egg or sliced olives. Hashed leftover meat can be moistened with a little mayonnaise and spread on a strip of hot buttered toast, or meat minced and heated in a little cream or stock. Use olives or hard-boiled eggs or a little minced parsley for garnish. Various vegetables can be used for canapes. A slice of ripe tomato, topped by a spoonful of mayonnaise and placed on a round of buttered toast of the same size, is delicious. A long strip of toast an inch wide can have thin slices of cucumber lapped one over the other its entire length, each dotted with a bit of mayonnaise. Or a few diced beets moistened with melted butter, very hot, can be piled in neat little mounds on rounds of buttered toast and garnished with minced hard-boiled egg. GRAHAM BREAD WORTH WHILE Directions for Making Appetizing and Wholesome Food That Should Be More Widely Used. One cake yeast, one cupful milk, scalded and cooled, four tablespoonfuls light brown sugar or molasses, one cupful lukewarm water, two tablespoonfuls lard or butter, melted, four cupfuls graham flour, one cupful sifted white flour, one teaspoonful salt. Dissolve yeast and sugar, or molasses, in lukewarm liquid. Add lard or butter, then flour gradually, or enough to make a dough that can be handled, and the salt. Knead thoroughly, being sure to keep dough soft. Cover and set aside in a warm place to rise for about two hours. When double in bulk, turn out on kneading board, mold into loaves and place in well-greased pans, cover and set to rise again—about one hour, or until light. Bake one hour in a slower oven than for white bread. If wanted for over night, use one-half cake of yeast and an extra half teaspoonful salt. Grandmother's Apple Butter Boil one gallon of fresh sweet cider down to one-half its original quantity. Then fill the kettle with sliced sweet apples and let them simmer gently, but steadily all day, until reduced to about one-half their original bulk. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon or paddle, to prevent their scorching. If not boiled down sufficiently the first day, let cook longer on the second. Pack away in stone or wooden jars. Some housekeepers prefer to use half sour apples. In this case, sweeten to taste when the apples begin to break. The butter is better, however, if left with the natural sweetness of the apples. Preserved Marrow. To each pound of marrow add one pound lump sugar, two ounces of ginger to every five pounds, the rind and juice of three lemons. Cut the marrow in squares three-quarters of an inch, sprinkle very lightly over with salt, let it stand for an hour, drain the salt off, next add a little sugar and stand for the night. Next boil the ginger and peel in sirup, then add the sugar and boil a little longer. Then put in the marrow and add the lemon juice last. Citron Heart Cakes. Beat half a pound of butter to a cream, take six eggs, beat the whites to a froth, and the yolks with half a pound of sifted flour, beat these well together, add a wineglassful of brandy and quarter of a pound of citron cut in thin slips, bake it in small heart-shaped tins or a square tin pan, rubbed over with a bit of sponge dipped in melted butter; put the mixture in half an inch deep, bake 15 or 20 minutes in a quick oven. Egg and Sardine Salad. Slice one head of celery and hardboiled eggs and place in salad bowl. Mash yolks of the eggs, four sardines, salt and pepper together and use enough cream to form a thick paste. Thin with vinegar. Mix French dressing on the celery and white of eggs and over that pour the cream dressing. Orange Dessert. Select the best seedless oranges, cut crosswise, and extract the pulp with an orange spoon. Whip pure sweet cream to a dry froth and line a glass dish with ladyfingers or a light sponge cake and heap in the oranges and whipped cream high in the center. Sponge Cake. Three eggs, well beaten, one cupful sugar, one cupful of flour, $1\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoonfuls baking powder, one teaspoonful lemon flavoring, two tablespoonfuls boiling water, beaten in last. Salt and Gasoline. In washing any delicate material in gasoline, if salt is added to the liquid, there will be no stain left at the edges of the cleaned parts. VICTOR AND CRIPPLE CREEK COLO.

That was the aftermath of the previous night's cele- bration, memorabilia of which were scattered all about the apartment in a ROGER FEATHERSTONE rose late on New Year's morning with the barest suggestion of a headache. That was the aftermath of the previous night's celebration, memorabilia of which were scattered all about the apartment in a weirdly incongruous way. Roger's coat was still brightly speckled with red, yellow and blue confetti; there was a battered tin horn protruding from one pocket, and a particolored fool's cap made of tissue paper was set radically askew on the bronze bust of Beethoven on the piano. in the hazily-recalled grotesquerie of last night's homecoming. Roger had denuded himself progressively, beginning with his shoes at the door, his hat and waistcoat beside the dresser; trousers and linen at the foot of the bed and, last of all, his scarf tied in a beautifully neat bow beneath the nob of the bedpost. Roger sat up regarding all this whimsically for some time and wondering dully how it is that morning daylight always imparts such a haggard aspect to the rosy visions of the night before. He yawned and stretched prodigiously; then made a bound for the washbowl and immersed his head in gratefully cold and refreshing water from the tap. "Heigh-ho! New Year's morning and my fortieth birthday all in one! The good Lord knows that I don't feel that old, but these periodic parties' sure are beginning to pall upon me. If I were to do the conventional thing now, I'd begin the new year by making some amazingly moral resolution and then—But, after all, why not? I'll make a resolution and not break it, either! I'm forty years old today and as comfortable a bachelor as any I know. Hereby I do solemnly avow a placid life of cellbacy. No wedding bells for me!" Roger dressed leisurely, not a little pleased with the positive formulation of the idea that really had been in the back of his head for months past. He liked and admired girls, of course—what real man doesn't? But it was in a detached, impersonal sort of way. He enjoyed their chatty conversations as mentally restful after weighty business conferences at the office all day long; he liked vivacious femininity across the table when he dined out in the evening. But as for actually burdening himself with one woman for life—as for unlurally domesticating himself, eschewing the good fellows at the club, and as for systematizing his life into a humdrum routine—no, no! not for Roger Featherstone! Ah! there went the telephone bell! His sister Madge undoubtedly—Madge who had married Phil Barnes and taken out of the merry whirl of things as jolly a chap as ever— "Hello! hello! Yes, this is Roger talking. Oh. I though it might be you d. l. l. n. Roger Sat Up. sis. Why, no-o-o! I've no particular appointment for tonight. For dinner at your house? Yes, I'll come, thank you. Eh? You don't say? Betty Hurling going to be there with you, too? Well, well, of course I remember her! We used to be sweethearts back in kid days. When did she get back in town? Must be four or five years since we've met. All right, I'll be over." Roger sighed as he hung up the receiver; then grinned. "Tonight will be a good time to tell them about my New Year's resolution." The cozy little dinner party was over. Sister Madge and Phil—"Hub" she patronizingly called him—were some where out in the back of the house. They had left Roger and his old chum Betty alone tete-a-tete in the dimly lit parlor. How that girl had grown and "improved" during these five years the Roger hadn't seen her! Why, she had developed into a positive little push! What a sensation she would make at one of the club dances! She hadn't forgotten about their old days together, either—recalled lots of little childish intimacies that had slipped even Roger's memory. Why, those fuzzy little teadrills of hair curling at the nape of her neck were positively adorable! Yes, and those liquid, mischievous eyes of hers! Deuce take it! what was that elusive scent she used? Did it come from that fluffy hair, or the gown, or—Roger was in the midst of telling her about his resolution to eternal bachelordom. He had intended to do it humorously, epigrammatically. But the warm, physical proximity of the girl was an indubitably permeating thing—went to one's head—and that little-pink-nailed, soft hand lying passive so near to his was—“So when I got up and remembered that today is New Year's and my fortieth birthday, I said to myself—” "Yes, Roger," — oh, the subtle, amused, encouragement of that inflection. It piqued him strangely. "I said to myself that—" "Yes, Roger—" The man stared at her confusedly and all at once was accusingly con- 1900 She Hadn't Forgotten About Their Old Days. She Hadn't Forgotten About Their Old Days. secular that, somehow or other, that soft, warm little hand of her was nestling comfortably within his own tremulous grip. "You were saying, Roger, that you told yourself that—?" "That I've been needing you for ever so long, dear," mumbled the man, red-faced. And she: "Oh, Roger! What a perfectly lovely New Year's resolution!" NEW YEAR'S DAY IN OLD WALES New Year's day in old Wales was not marked with such celebrations as were some of the other days during the Christmas season, but there were two customs observed which are rather interesting. The first was the visit of the male members of the house to the homes of their neighbors on New Year's morning. It was considered unlucky for a female to enter the house first on New Year's day, but should this happen by accident, it was supposed to be a sign of death in the family during the coming year. So firmly rooted is this old superstition in the minds of the peasantry that some of the old folk will engage men or boys to visit their home on the early morning of New Year's day. I was thus hired when a boy on more than one occasion, and took great delight in entering certain homes as the first male visitor on that day, for which I received a few pence. The second custom was the visit of the "waits" on New Year's morning with the "New Year's Water." The "waits" were supposed to be an established institution of professional musicians wearing arms, but now the name is used to designate companies of people who go around caroling during the Christmas season. On New Year's morning these "waits" would journey throughout the community. Arriving at the door of a home, they would sing the following verse: Get up on New Year's morning. The cocks are all a-crowling. And if you think it is too soon. Get up and look at the stars and moon. After this they would knock loudly and repeat slowly the following lines: The roads are very dirty. Our boots are very thin. We wish you all a "Happy New Year." And please to turn us in. When the door was opened a member of the party who was styled the "Sprinkler," carrying in his hand a cup of clear water and a bunch of the box-tree, would sprinkle the members of the household with the New Year's water, repeating while doing so the following lines: Here we bring you water from the well so clear. For to worship God with us this "Happy New Year." Sing Levy Dew, sing Levy Dew, the water and the wine. -J. S. Ladd Thomas. The guardian angel of life sometimes flies so high that we cannot see him; but he is always looking down upon us, and will soon hover nearer to us.—Richter. A man cannot speak but he judges himself.

With words of grace, And say, Old Year, unto the New, "Kindly, carefully, carry them through, For much. I ween, they have yet to do." —John Godfrey Saxe Suggestions for Husbands, Wives and All Lovers, Married or Single, That Are Timely. If you haven't thought up any, here are a few timely suggestions: For hubby: Never again to spend a moment out of the presence of the wife unaccompanied by a trustworthy guardian appointed by her, who will report faithfully all of your doings, even to the irregular quiver of an eyelash, or the drinking of soda instead of buttermilk. Never again to be such a brute as to want to stay at home when the wife wishes to go out, or to wish to go out—by yourself—when wifes desires you to stay at home in the bosom of your family. Never again to growl, grumble or swear, or pretend to be asleep when the wife pokes you in the back and asks you to walk with the baby in the middle of the night. Never again to threaten to forbid tradespeople to allow the wife credit if she and the girls do not cease their extravagance—when the monthly bills come in. Never again to forget to peck wifie on the cheek upon leaving her in the morning and coming home at night, to tell her that her frightful new bonnet is a perfect gem, and that her "fourteen-year-old" short dress is altogether too old-looking for her youthful figure. For wifie: Never again to make biscuit for breakfast until you have tried them on your own digestion for a few weeks in the absence of the rest of the family Never again to notice pa exchanging glances with the pretty girl across the aisle all the way downtown. Never again to keep the lights turned on when pa has been detained downtown "on business," in order to see what time he gets home, or to insist on his kissing you that you may smell his breath. Never again to come to the table with hair in crimpers and wearing a soiled kimono. Never again to subject pa to spells of lachrymose reproaches, telling him that he doesn't love you any more. For lovers, married or single: Never to miss an opportunity to tell the dear old story over and over again. Never to lose the coquettish elusiveness that makes lovers so delightful to each other. Never again to spend the sweets of young lover souls in cheap flirtations when there is such a world of real happiness at your command. Never to become insensible to the delicious tremblings and flutterings of your own heart, or to become lax in all of those lovely attentions and givings that help to keep a keen response a-trill in the heart of the beloved. THE OLD YEAR He had his virtues. This old year was impartial. No discrimination knew he between classes or conditions. He meted the same number of hours to the man in the novel and the man on the throne. The hour-glass he turned the same number of times for him whose garments were plain and coarse and who wore garments of costliest fabric. Like God who sent him, this old year was no respecter of persons. He showed constant vigilance. No laggard, no loiterer, he. Having been sent to fill a space in time's calendar, he filled it to the full. Sent to mark off so many hours on time's dial, his hand was never slack; he slept not for a single swing of the pendulum. May we keep our vigils as faithfully! He fulfilled his mission. God's plans are deep, and we know little, perhaps, as to the real mission of any of these passing years, decades, centuries, and cycles, yet we know that each fulfills a purpose in the betterment of humanity; and in the closing year has served well his embassy in bringing the race nearer its final goal. A prize, peerless and bright, awaits each of us if we are true to our mission as the old year has been to his.—Rev. J. M. Hubbert. Their Resolutions: They were young as April as they pressed close to a window full of wonderful confections. "What bad habits are you going to give up this New Year?" he asked. "You," she answered briefly; "what bad habits are you going to give up?" "Letting you have your own way," he responded firmly, "so our engagement stands." "Very well, then, go in and buy me that heart-shaped box of candy." And both New Year resolutions went the way of their kind. The Old and the New. Another year has joined his shadowy fellows in the wide and volceless desert of the past, where, from the eternal hour-glass forever fall the sands of time. Another year, with all its joy and grief, of birth and death, of failure and success, of love and hate. And now, the first day of the new o'erarches all. Standing between the buried and the babe, we cry, "Farewell and hail!"—Robert G. Ingersoll. Helps Some. "Some folks say dat mere words don't count," said Uncle Eben, "but de fact dat some folks think enough of you to say 'Happy New Year' to you helps some." Look to the Future In reverent gratitude for the year gone, may we turn our faces toward the more blessed year to come.

With the Increased Average Value of Metals, with the Exception of Silver, the Net Increase in Value Is Nearly $10,000,000. Cripple Creek.—The mine output of Colorado metals for eleven months of 1915, with an estimate for December, from data compiled by Charles W. Henderson, of the United States Geological Survey, indicates a yield for the year of $22,330,000 in gold, 7,080,000 ounces of silver, 66,664,000 pounds of lead (in terms of lead in lead bulbion and lead in leaded-zinc oxide), 7,100,000 pounds of copper, and 100,000,000 pounds of zinc (in terms of spatter and zinc in zinc oxide), with a total value of $43,100,000 compared with $19,883,105 in gold, 8,796,065 ounces of silver, 74,211,898 pounds of lead, 6,639,173 pounds of copper, and 95,774,960 pounds of zinc, with a total value of $33,460,126, in 1914. This shows an increase of $2,447,000 in gold, decreases of 1,716,000 ounces of silver, and 7,550,000 pounds of lead, an increase of 306,000 pounds of copper, and 3,200,000 pounds of zinc. With the increased average value of metals, except silver, the values show a decrease of $1,380,000 for silver, an increase of $300,000 for lead, an increase of $340,000 for copper, and an increase of $8,065,000 for zinc. The tonnage treated by the Globe, Leadville, Pueblo, Durango and Salida smelters was approximately the same as in 1914. Increased shipments of copper ore were made from Rico to plants in Utan and copper matte was shipped from Ouray to Utah. Cyanide precipitates and copper ore were shipped to Omaha. Some Rico ore was shipped to San Pedro, New Mexico. The matting plant at Ouray was operated during the greater part of the year. The tonnage treated at the United States Zinc Company's magnetic-wet concentration mill and smelter at Pueblo showed a heavy increase. The Western zinc oxide plant at Leadville was placed in successful operation in April and operated throughout the year on Leadville zinc carbonates. The gold output of Cripple Creek (Teller County), was $13,539,245, an increase of $1,543,129. The yield was also $507,328 larger than the 1908 yield, which was the largest yearly output since 1906. Cripple Creek, to the end of 1915 has produced $272,326,000. The Roosevelt tunnel continued to lower the water in the mines, except in the Vindicator-Golden Cycle, where electric pumps are used. Several shafts were extended to the depth of 1,900 to 2,000 feet. Work on the extension of the tunnel, stopped November 4, 1914, when the El Paso plant was destroyed by fire was resumed March 2, 1915, the tunnel then being 17,127 feet long. Toward the end of the year the tunnel was approaching the Elkton property and the flow was in excess of 15,000 gallons per minute. The Golden Cycle cyanidation mill at Colorado City and the Portland cyanidation mills at Colorado Springs and Victor were operated steadily with an increased output. The Stratton's Independence mill was included in the sale of the mine to the Portland Company. The Union cyanidation plant at Florence was idle and the smaller plants in the district were not as actively worked as heretofore. The tonnage of smelting ore increased appreciably. The discovery of a body of exceptionally high grade ore in the Cresson mine in December, 1914, resulted in a greatly increased output of the district for the first quarter of the year 1915. Lake County, chiefly from Leadville, but also including the Lackawanna Gulch and St. Kevin lode districts and the Arkansas River dredge district, produced $2,251,000 in gold, 2,660,000 ounces of silver, 20,000,000 pounds of lead, 1,840,000 pounds of copper, and 71,000,000 pounds of zinc, with a total value of $14,000,000, against $1,571,451 in gold, 3,810,830 ounces of silver, 26,784,615 pounds of lead, 2,382,910 pounds of copper, 78,763,334 pounds of zinc, with a total value of $9,057,297 in 1914. Metallic gold was shipped during the year from the Ibex and Third Venture mines. The output of zinc carbonate was 80,000 tons of 22 per cent zinc, against 113,881 tons of 24.3 per cent in 1914. The zinc sulphide smelting ore and concentrating ore combined was 135,000 tons of 24 per cent zinc, as compared with 111,947 tons of 21.2 per cent zinc in 1914. Operations were resumed in April at the 50-ton zinc oxide plant, and it was operated successfully during the year on zinc carbonate ores of 16 per cent or less. The Pingree flotation plant was operated on zinc-lead sulphide ores from Leadville and Red Cliff. The water in the down-town mines was lowered by electric pumps to nearly 700 feet at the Penrose shaft. The Derry Ranch dredge, below Malta, began operations in October and from thence on regular shipments of bulton were sent to the Denver Mint. The San Juan region of Dolores, La Plata, Ouray, San Juan, and San Miguel counties produced $3,800,000 in gold, 2,250,000 ounces of silver, 13,800,000 pounds of lead, 3,550,000 pounds of copper, and 4,000,000 pounds of zinc, as compared with $3,69,857 in gold, 2,515,437 ounces of silver, 11,861,766 pounds of lead, 2,379,639 pounds of copper and 1,382,334 pounds of zinc in 1914. There were increases for gold of $3,700 in Dolores, and $68,500 in San Juan county, but decreases of $51,400 in La Plata, $73,500 in Ouray and $25,800 in San Miguel. There were increases for silver of 36,000 ounces in Dolores, but decreases of 13,000 ounces in La Plata, 2,000 ounces in Ouray, 95,000 ounces in San Juan and 191,000 ounces in San Miguel. Dolores county (Rico) showed an increase of 630,000 pounds of copper but a decrease of 235,000 pounds of lead. Ouray county's yield of lead and copper showed little change. San Juan showed an increase of 1,400,000 pounds of lead and 200,000 pounds of copper, and San Miguel county showed an increase of 960,000 pounds of lead and 340,000 pounds of copper. The Sunnyside mine of San Juan county made a greatly increased output of zinc concentrates in 1915, and the Smuggler Union mine of Telluride began shipping zinc middlings in large tonnages in January, 1915. No zinc middlings were shipped from the Tomboy group in 1915. Gilpin county's output was $559,000 in gold, 130,000 ounces of silver, 544,000 pounds of lead and 420,000 pounds of copper, including ore mined through the Argo tunnel. The Pitkin county (Aspen) yield was 411,000 ounces of silver and 19,000,000 pounds of lead—an increase of 40,000 ounces of silver, but a decrease of 4,350,000 pounds of lead. Creede (Mineral county) produced $35,400 in gold, 308,000 ounces of silver, 2,400,000 pounds of lead, 13,000 pounds of copper and 200,000 pounds of zinc—an increase of $16,000 for gold, a decrease of 300,000 ounces of silver, but an increase of 1,000,000 pounds of lead and 200,000 pounds of zinc. The tonnage of crude ore shipped from Creede decreased, but the operation of the Humphreys mill (idle in 1914) increased the yield of lead and zinc. A considerable quantity of zinc concentrates has been stored. Hinsdale county's production was not large, but showed an increase for silver and lead, and an improvement in activity in considerable contrast to a practical idleness in 1914. With the revival of gold mining at Ohio City and the discovery and operation since July of a large deposit of zinc carbonate at the Doctor mine, in the Elk Mountain district, with shipments of zinc sulphide from Whitepine, Gunnison county yielded $55,000 in gold, 23,000 ounces of silver, 220,000 pounds of lead and 1,800,000 pounds of zinc—an increase of $42,000 in gold, a decrease of 36,000 ounces of silver, a decrease of 94,000 pounds of lead, but an increase of 1,300,000 pounds of zinc. Shipments of copper ore began in October from the old Vulcan property at Vulcan. The dredge at Tincup, moved in 1914 from Riverton, Wyo., and operated for a time in 1914, was idle in 1915. Summit county's production was $644,000 in gold, 60,000 ounces of silver, 1,760,000 pounds of lead and 9,000,000 pounds of zinc, as compared with $668,610 in gold, 67,009 ounces of silver, 1,565,231 pounds of lead and 5,111,941 pounds of zinc—a small decrease for gold and silver, a small increase for lead, but a very large increase for zinc. The four dredges at Breckenridge produced about the same yield of gold as in 1914, and the zinc shipments from Breckenridge increased heavily. Some lead and zinc shipments were also made from Kokomo and Montezuma. Eagle county produced $98,000 in gold, 172,000 ounces of silver, 1,232,000 pounds of lead, 60,000 pounds of copper and 10,500,000 pounds of zinc, as against $51,245 in gold, 127,080 ounces of silver, 1,177,385 pounds of lead, 28,105 pounds of copper and 7,522,098 pounds of zinc in 1914, an increase for all metals, particularly for zinc. All the ore came from Red Cliff, the Brush Creek district being idle. Park county's placer output decreased, but the yield of the lode mines increased appreciably, the total yield being $153,000 in gold, 8,500 ounces of silver, 177,000 pounds of lead and 11,000 pounds of copper—the most important item of interest being an increase of $85,000 in gold, due mainly to activity at the London mine, at the head of Mosquito creek. Custer county produced $4,300 in gold, 32,000 ounces of silver, 86,000 pounds of lead, 17,000 pounds of copper—an appreciable increase for all metals. Fremont county continued to yield an appreciable quantity of copper and heavily increased its zinc yield. Garfield county made an increased yield of gold. Operations at the Bonanza mine, Summitville, Rio Grande county, resulted in an appreciable production of gold. Saguache county mines were not as active as in 1914 AUSTRIA GRANTS ANCONA DEMAND Do You Know That- COMMANDER OF SUBMARINE IS PUNISHED FOR FAILURE TO NOTICE PANIC. VESSEL BADLY HANDLED CONCEDING OF PRINCIPAL DE- MAND REGARDED AS DISA- VOWAL OF ACT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, Dec. 31.—Danger of a break in diplomatic relations between the United States and Austria-Hungary over the sinking of the liner Ancona probably has been cleared away, if the official text of Austria's reply to the second American note conforms to press dispatches from London saying the communication announces that the submarine commander who torpedoed the steamer has been punished. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF The cabled press translation of the note reached Washington last night, too late to be seen by high officials of the government, and a dispatch received earlier in the day from Ambassador Penfield merely said the reply had been handed him and gave no intimation as to its nature. Punishment of the submarine commander for failure to take into account the panic prevailing aboard the Ancona before torpedoing the vessel apparently meets the principal American demand. In effect it might be regarded as a disavowal of the act and assurances that an incident for which an officer of the navy was punished would not happen again might be taken for granted. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY The remaining demand, that reparation by payment of indemnity be made for the injury or loss of life by Americans would be a subject for diplomatic adjustment once the other points at issue were disposed of. The official text of the new note from Vienna is expected at the State Department today. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. The unofficial text of the note as forwarded by Reuter's Telegram Company by way of Amsterdam, says: "In reply to the second American Ancona note the Austro-Hungarian government fully agrees with the Washington Cabinet that the sacred laws of humanity should be taken into account also in war and emphasizes that it, in the course of this war, has given numerous proofs of the most humane feelings. The Austro-Hungarian government, too, can positively concur in the principle that enemy private vessels—so far as they do not fly or offer resistance—shall not be destroyed before the persons aboard are secured. The assurance that the United States government attaches value to the maintenance of the existing good relations between Austro-Hungary and the United States is warmly reciprocated by the Austro-Hungarian government, which now, as heretofore, is anxious to render these relations still more cordial."

Barred From Texas as Troops Cross Women Drop Beside Railroad. El Paso, Tex.—Barred by the War Department from entering Juarez via Texas, 1,200 Carranza troopers from Sonora, their women, children, dead, sick and dying, were unloaded at Pela, N. M. Their arms locked in box cars, those who were able started, loaded with packs, toward Juarez, eight miles by trail. A second detachment with 2,000 cavalry was expected. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Fifty men, women and children, some delirious with fever, were left huddled in the sandhills by the side of the track at Pelea as the more vigorous moved off. During the trip from Naco a trooper had died of his wounds and a girl had succumbed to fever. When after vain appeals had been made to permit the women, children and sick to enter Texas in bond and cross the international bridge in the cars, the bodies were hauled off the trains and carried in blankets up the Stark hill to where the boundary monument indicated the international line.
