LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY ANNUAL MEETING OF THE DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION Election of Officers and Address of the President Thomas Campbell. VOL. XXVII. ANNUAL MEETING COLORED Election of Officers and Thomas TO THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION: WE HAVE assembled this evening in, what we may rightly term, the most important meeting of the year—to render unto you an accounting of our stewardship, and to elect officers for the ensuing year, who will steer this new bark safely through the uncharted seas of civil-industrial and commercial activities for another year. For once, among our people in Denver, we can boast of a clean-cut, representative business organization, that is in no way tinged with cheap, disrupting politics. Already we see and feel the effects and results of our people having played too much politics, to the neglect of business enterprise and other avenues of life that tend more to unit and elevate a people. While it is probably necessary and the part of wisdom and good citizenship to take an active part in politics, yet we should not let it become the all-absorbing interest with us to the almost total neglect of all else. Perhaps, had we as a race, spent one-tenth of the time, brains, effort and energy along business lines, since our emancipation, that we have in politics we would have been many milestones ahead of where we are today. But, contrary to the prophesies of our most scurrilous critics, we have positively kept our word, and politics has not crossed our threshold once the entire year of our existence, and I promise you again here and now, if I can prevent it that politics will be a perfect stranger to this body. Again, when we first launched our bark, we were charged with all kinds of dark schemes and sinister motives, and opposition to every other organization and almost every individual in Denver. On the contrary, we have at all times invited and desired the co-operation of all worthy organizations in Denver, and even solicited those who knocked us to come with us and help us to make Denver a fit place for the Negro to live. Our door stands ajar, and we welcome all men who are clean and engaged in an honest, legitimate business. But to those who are conducting illegitimate and shady business, our doors are closed against them. We believe in the broad principle of "All men up and no man down." Life is but one long, continuous game, and if we are ever to solve the great problems confronting us as a race we must all agree to sit in the game and play as best we can the hand that is dealt to us; stop slinging mud and iron out our differences around the table with the cards face upward in the final showdown. While I take pride in being instrumental in the organization of this association, yet I would have you, and especially those on the outside, to know that I do not consider it as MY organization. On the contrary I am proud of the fact that it is YOUR organization and absolutely controlled by no one man, duly organized and legally chartered. The Denver Colored ```markdown ``` Civic Association should have the full support and co-operation of every church and lodge in Denver, and especially the Y. M. C. A. Every leading, influential and progressive man should join with us and help to create a wider spirit of usefulness and unity. We should emulate the Jew, the Italian and the Greek. They each have a racial organization similar to this wherein they are united and affiliated to a man and contribute their money freely for their mutual benefit and protection. Without speaking disparagingly, our men are far behind our women in all lines of civic and social organization. While we boast of greater intellect and of making more money the women have seemed to outdistance us. Why is this? You know better than I can tell. Is it not time we should put aside jealousy, suspicion, ignorance and envy? We have many brilliant, efficient and worthy young men in Denver; let us go out and bring them in and make places for them in our association where they can display their worth and ability. Give the young men, who are already with us, something worth while to do. I advocate and emphasize this policy. What progress have we made? What have we done worth while during the past year? The greatest thing accomplished by us during the year was the holding together of 100 men or more for one solid year without a break, or any friction whatsoever. No jealousies have crept into our ranks and perfect harmony has prevailed. Great! Let us remember too that we can make progress only as fast as you desire or have the ambition and inclination. If any member is appointed on any committee to perform a certain duty and he fails to perform that duty it is evident that he is not interested and has not the work of the Association at heart. It would be far better if he would respectfully decline to accept a committee that he well knew he was not going to fill properly. We have attempted to establish a permanent Memorial day among us in honor of Lincoln and Douglass—Feb'y 12th. Our first banquet and celebration last year was an epoch long to be remembered and we should by all means put forth every effort to excel this year the grand celebration of last year. We have contributed to several worthy causes, as you have just heard from the excellent reports of the secretary and treasurer: The civil rights case. The Presbyterian Hospital fund of $100 was pledged and $50 paid. We went on record with all other organizations endorsing the governor and the mayor for the stand they took for law and order during the great street car strike last summer. As a result of our organization here in Denver many cities are following our example in organizing similar bodies. We offer the following suggestions to the members of the Association: You would help us materially in a DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18 1920 State Hist. & Nat Hist Gov. State House FIRMS WHOS ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S financial way if you would only bear in mind the date of the regular meetings and save printing and postage in notifying you. It costs the Association on an average of $3 for each meeting to notify you. We should arrange in some way to establish a fund for charity and public donations, thereby relieving the individual members from making contributions to everything that comes along. I earnestly recommend that a liberal donation be made to the N. A. A. C. P. and sent to the National through the local branch to assist in the defense of the Arkansas riot cases. That we commend the N. A. A. C. P. for their efforts in securing the release of Robt. L. Hill and also in having the colored girl sentenced to be hanged in Washington, D. C., commuted to life imprisonment. I find that here in Denver as elsewhere, we are eager to take up and boost some organization or movement that springs up in some other city. Let us learn to boost our own efforts first, put Denver and our people on the map and then help the outsiders and their work. Don't be afraid to boost your own city or your own organization. We need no defense and you certainly do not have to make any apology for belonging to this Association. In conclusion, I wish to thank each and every officer and member for the kind courtesy shown me at all times as president, and the great assistance you have rendered to the Association this past year. Let us therefore lift up our heads and be men and not afraid to stand for what is right. The end is not yet. We have just begun and if we are true to ourselves and our Association there are great things in store for us. I have served you as best I could the past year under the circumstances, and if called upon to serve again as president of your Association I hope to accomplish more. But, if in the wisdom of the members some one else should be selected for president whom you think could accomplish more or be of greater service, I gracefully yield to your judgment and loyally take my place in the ranks—with the slogan: Determination—Co-operation—Elevation as my motto. The following officers were recommended by the nominating committee and unanimously elected: Thomas Campbell, president; E. P. Blakemore, vice president; Jas. C. Cooper, treasurer; W. R. Chapman, secretary; O. L. Lawson, assistant secretary. Board of Directors. T. S. Rector, Joseph D. D. Rivers, Wesley Lyons, S. E. Cary, George S. Contee, C. W. Buford, Thos. L.

COLORED SOCIETY TO ASK PROBE OF ELECTION BIOTS New York, Dec. 14.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public a letter to the federal attorney here requesting him to investigate information received by the organization that "the Klu Klux Klan is organizing a branch in this district." The association also announced it had evidence of the killing of more than thirty Negroes in election riots in Florida, and of terrorization of Negro voters in the South, which would be presented to the department of justice next Friday. CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS BURIBED sin is like a covered sore That spreads and festers 'neath a maured face : And no man's art can heal it evermore, But only His—the Surgeon's—promised grace. Who hides a sin is like the hunter who Once warmed a frozen adder with his breath; And when he placed it near his heart it flew With poisoned fangs and stung that heart to death." "A sin admitted is nigh half atoned; And while the fault is red and freshly done. If we but drop our eyes and think—'tis owned— 'Tis half forgiven, half the crown is won. But if we heedless let it reek and rot, Then pile a mountain on its grave, and turn, With smiles to all the world—that tainted spot Beneath the mound will never cease to burn." Our dear friend, Rev. C. O. Smith, departed our city for a brief visit to his loving wife and friends at Hutchinson, Kan. We pray for his speedy return. We need him here. We of the Christian faith know truly he is the "surgeon" we need to remind us of our spiritual hypocrisy. He chafes our sore spots—hypocrisy—until we can hardly sit out his sermons. When our friends die, we do not call him to officiate over their remains—because our friends do not always live the Christian, moral life, but often live the unChristian, immoral life, and if we call on Rev. Smith to officiate we will hear the text, "In hell he opened his eyes," or "So this man lives in your community, just so he died." Most of our people delight to become members of church or secret societies and do everything that a sinner or profane will do in private and public, and when we do our friends want good things to be said over our remains when we have not merited such. If the sinner or profane is to be lauded to heaven after death, for surely he has not done anything to cause the world to think he ever did a public or spiritual act to gain such reward, what praise is due the true man who has led a spiritual and moral life in our community? Christian citizens love Rev. Smith. Sinners and hypocrites fear him like the devil fears holy water. However, we wish for him a speedy and safe return. Here's to Rev. Smith for the Christ and moral uplift! The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry McCormack, 921 West 27th Street, was the place of entertainment for a large number of friends of the McCormacks. The honored guest was Mrs. Gasaway Walton of Denver, Colo., who was in the city the guest of her sister, Mrs. William Smith. Mr. Joe Brown has returned to Cheyenne. Mr. Lee McKinney is confined with pneumonia. We hope for his speedy recovery. It was a Mr. Hammond of Lincoln who suffered a stroke of paralysis, instead of Mr. M. H. Hamler, as previously reported. Mesdames Arthur Nave and Georgie De Transvent have returned from a delightful visit with friends and relatives in Oklahoma and Texas cities. Dr. Leroy N. Bundy writes to his many friends thanking them for what they have done, and informs us of the fact that his case went over to the De- cember term of court. He will let us know of the outcome. His wife joins in love to all, wishing you health and prosperity. Mrs. J. H. Moss has returned to our city after an extended business trip to Colorado Springs. N. A. A. C. P. ANNOUNCES VICTORY IN ARKANSAS RIOT CASES. Supreme Court of Arkansas Reverses Decision of Lower Court in Case of Six Men Condemned to Die. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced an important victory in the case of the colored men condemned to death in connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919. The Supreme Court of the state of Arkansas has reversed the decision of the lower courts condemning the men to death. This is the second reversal by the State Supreme Court of Arkansas in these cases and announcement was made by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the fight will be continued in the courts until justice is had. The Supreme Court of Arkansas in reversing the decision of the lower court held: 1. That discrimination against the colored men, because Negroes were barred from the grand and petit juries trying them, was in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States constitution, and of the Civil Rights act of 1875; 2. That the lower courts had erred in refusing to hear evidence on a motion to set aside the regular panel of the jury. Word comes from Arkansas that the other six men whose death sentences the Supreme Court refused to review, will probably not be executed pending determination of the cases recently reversed. A REAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT. The holoday season with its joys and its problems is upon us. What shall we do to add to the happiness of the occasion? Each one of us would like not only to wish our friends a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, but to give them one. We cannot do this by means of ill-considered presents. Thoughless gifts cause the January ash can to bulge with debris. Only when our gifts have lasting meaning do they carry the true message of good will which is the spirit of real giving. We can give happiness and contentment and safety for the future as well as pleasure for the moment. Such gifts are within reach of all. They are to be found in the Savings Securities of the United States government. From the 25-cent Thrift Stamp to the $1,000 Treasury Savings Certificate, they will carry with them not only the greetings of the season but happiness for years to come. In presenting the child a card with one thrift stamp affixed, you which will grow in value as the days pass, for he will wish to fill the card. That little gift will have grown wonderfully before another Christmas comes around, and the recipient will be on the way to a life of independence. In recommending these lasting gifts, the Savings Division of the Treasury does not suggest that a single American curtail his Christmas giving. It suggests only that he broaden it to include this present which will bring NO.10 Colored and White Women Confer at Y.W.C.A. CLOSER co-operation between the women of the white and colored races and greater opportunities for the development of leadership among young colored women is the plea of twenty influential colored women from fifteen states who are attending a conference today at the national headquarters of the Y. W. C. A., 600 Lexington Avenue, called by the executive committee of the board to discuss these questions. "We realize the impossibility of achieving Utopia immediately," says Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, principal of the Daytona Industrial Institute of Florida and one of the leading delegates, "but we ask that the thought of the white women and colored women may be toward closer working together and that some day, as soon as it is feasible, we colored women may have representation on both national and field boards of the association." The colored women in attendance represent the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, several women's civic organizations, some of the large southern schools and many social clubs. Among the deeligues are Mrs. Robert R. Moton, wife of the head of Tuskegee Institute, and Miss Fannie Burroughs of Washington, D. C. Other states represented are Missouri, Kentucky, North and South Carolina, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, Mississippi, Iowa, Indiana and Pennsylvania. The National Board of the Y. W. C. A. started work among colored girls 13 years ago and now has a staff of ten trained colored workers at headquarters in New York City, and ninety-eight in different cities of the United States, with fifty-eight centers for colored work. The colored membership is 76,920. NATIONAL BOARD Y. W. C. A., 600 Lexington Ave., New York City. T. C.

THE SIN OF SELFISHNESS. TION is at the bottom of all human life retained to himself all that he gained under in the aggregate of human account any aggregation of individuals for the benefit. The natural law impels animal these purposes. Human beings improve idea of mutual obligation and dependent and maintain permanent improvement. Fundamental rules, and who, after envisioned them only through prior combination, are benefits of their accomplishments, with others the things that others have. Extent a man is entitled to the fruits and accomplishments, but there is always begin sharing with his fellows. Mutual demand that this point should not unwilling that others shall enjoy the themselves enjoy that they employ all to their rivals or competitors, the same softness and greed their highest motive the combination of circumstances arises. Find themselves rising to positions of special power, immediately start in to serve formerly been their support and distances are affected by the same natural others, but they cannot get far above them they are identified in the measurement to do so is doomed to disgrace and in a whole race selfishness is greed, whose qualities invite warfare. TRUTH. Greater or grander word or expression has one word—Truth. For sense it embraces everything that is everything that God has created and meaning it represents that which is, which is wrong. Always just. No matter how it may be, or it is but the balance which weighs and brings to a righteous level a such natural condition. The sins which men commit are many, at some time, in some way, be redeemed, but it is a fictitious creation of human host of nature. It must die; because to this fate, its final end is certain, it is at once. The sooner it is dead the is the resort of cowards. It springs in the wrong and which hope for to serving gain. Men grow in strength and able to face and abide by the truth, character of the man who flees from find one who at heart is a moral needs and his life and efforts are worthless greatest freedom and, therefore, the great is to know that he has not attempted that is true and right, which is the creature follow false standards, imagining that for a time, they may seem to prosper, standard is inevitable, for while falsely, understood, "truth, crushed to earth, shall surely; bow to the truth with unshaken truth, for nothing else on earth is worth. NDIVIDUAL ACTION is at the bottom of all human achievement, but if each individual retained to himself all that he gained there would not be leach individual retained to himself all that he gets much to consider in the aggregate of human accomplishment. Society itself is a voluntary aggregation of individuals for the purposes of mutual help and mutual benefit. The natural law impels animals as well as men to get together for these purposes. Human beings improve their conditions by carrying out the idea of mutual obligation and dependence, and there is no other way to win and maintain permanent improvement. But there are those who forget these fundamental rules, and who, after employing the means that have been provided them only through prior combinations of effort, seek to reserve the entire benefits of their accomplishments for their own uses, without sharing with others the things that others have enabled them to gain. To a certain extent a man is entitled to the fruits of his own original exertions or adapted accomplishments, but there is always an equitable point where he should begin sharing with his fellows. Mutual progress, as well as individual welfare demand that this point should not be overstepped. Some persons are so unwilling that others shall enjoy the benefits and privileges which they themselves enjoy that they employ all their energies in the effort to destroy their rivals or competitors, the same as animals whose natures make selfishness and greed their highest motives. Some persons who, by a fortunate combination of circumstances arising out of aggregate effort or influence, find themselves rising to positions of social elevation or political or commercial power, immediately start in to sacrifice or cut away from those who have formerly been their support and their stay. All individuals and all races are affected by the same natural rules. Some may know more than others, but they cannot get far above the average standard of those with whom they are identified in the measurement of their general worth. Their effort to do so is doomed to disgrace and failure. Whether in an individual or in a whole race selfishness is greed, and greed is purely an animal instinct whose natural qualities invite warfare and destruction. TRUTH. THERE is no greater or grander word or expression known to men or to angels than this one word—Truth. In its larger sense it embraces everything that is known or unknown, for it stands for everything that God has created and called good. But in its more definite meaning it represents that which is right and just as opposed to that which is wrong. And truth is always just. No matter how it may hurt or injure, nevertheless it is right, or it is but the balance which weighs up against a past wrong, and readjusts and brings to a righteous level a surface that has been thrown out of its natural condition. The wrongs, the sins which men commit are many, but there is never one that must not at some time, in some way, be redeemed. A lie is not only an abomination, but it is a fictitious creation of human imagination, and, therefore, an outcast of nature. It must die; because there is no true life in it. Although its fate, its final end is certain, it is best that a lie be nailed to the cross at once. The sooner it is dead the less it will baffle truth. And the lie is the resort of cowards. It springs from minds that know that they are in the wrong and which hope for temporary gain without earning or deserving gain. Men grow in strength and power only as they are willing and able to face and abide by the truth. Look into the character of the man who flees from or seeks to oppose the truth, and you find one who at heart is a moral coward. He is not capable of great deeds and his life and efforts are worthless to humanity and to himself. The greatest freedom and, therefore, the greatest happiness that a man can enjoy is to know that he has not attempted to turn his feeble strength against what is true and right, which is the creation and the might of God. Many men follow false standards, imagining that they are in the right, and though, for a time, they may seem to prosper, their final downfall and that of their standard is inevitable, for while falsehood may endure while it is not understood, "truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again!" Then seek the truth bravely; bow to the truth with unshaken faith; honor, strive for and exalt the truth, for nothing else on earth is worth while. RELIGIOUS PROPRIETY. be yea and your nay be nay." The C which many of our leading religion conveniently forget, as to carry out the way of transacting the business of public property of both Christian and think that the temporal side of the foundation stones which are utter our church folks engage in, and if the or "nay" the risk of offending our "LET your yea be yea and your may be nay." The expression from the Good Book which many of our leading religionists are so apt to ignore or conveniently forget, as to carry out this command, would interfere with their way of transacting the business of their church which takes the form of public property of both Christian and sinner alike. In our estimation we think that the temporal side of the church should be guided by its spiritual foundation stenes which are utterly opposed to some of the things that our church folks engage in, and if the world is not satisfied with the "yea" or "nay" the risk of offending our Great Head should not be taken Business Transacted On the Outside. wonder at times how their church know they hear, on the street, inform their organization before they get off is: The discussion of matters amongers, etc.; the actual persecution of as their backs; the disposition of the fitable to others—all of these offer sur non-churchman or the person of seceded in the debate or discussion have either on "heaven" or "earth" to argument. We do, that the cause of the church whose devoted to the work, whether as arded, as while they are quick and had lent denounce them as unfit for the M of old, examine themselves, keeping sto become castaways. Church people wonder at times how their church affairs get on the public's ears and how they hear, on the street, information relating to the inner workings of their organization before they get official communication. Easily explained this is: The discussion of matters among officials in public places, street corners, etc.; the actual persecution of associate members or adherents behind their backs; the disposition of the finances agreeable to some and disagreeable to others—all of these offer sufficient mediums of information to the non-churchman or the person of secular taste, and generally those engaged in the debate or discussion have to go beyond the command by calling either on "heaven" or "earth" to prove or substantiate their side of the argument. Believing, as we do, that the cause of the church is too holy to be treated so lightly, those devoted to the work, whether as leader or follower, should be more guarded, as while they are quick and hasty to judge others, and in their judgment denounce them as unfit for the Master's service, they should, like Paul of old, examine themselves, keeping steadfast in the faith, lest in the end they become castaways. Proper Place and Time. The desire to have fine buildings and beautiful church edifices is the same among us as any other people, and care is taken to provide accommodation for meetings apart from the regular services; also in listening to the notices as they are read week in and week out, or placed on the bulletin board, we note the time of the various meetings, etc., as well as the purpose of such events, thereby assuring us of the fact that it is the prerogative and prescribed right of every member to take advantage of these times and places for conference on church matters and discussions pertaining to the welfare of the congregation and denomination. have fine buildings and beautiful chapels, many other people, and care is taken to us apart from the regular services; also, we read week in and week out, or play time of the various meetings, etc., as surely assuring us of the fact that if of every member to take advantage of place on church matters and discussion, negotiation and denomination, buildings, barber shops, clubrooms and the substitutes for the authorized and if we would stop to think, there can US IMPROPRIETY than the facts set. Tailoring establishments, barber shops, clubrooms and social gatherings are reported to be the substitutes for the authorized meeting place—the church premises, and if we would stop to think, there can be no greater example of RELIGIOUS IMPROPRIETY than the facts set forth herein.

LEPPLA, Sec. and Treas. 16th & Champa Foster Bldg., Corner If you have in mind only a moderate sum, but seek a gift that will be of more than temporary value, we propose a small diamond in a modest mounting. Diamonds have received particular attention in this long-established store for many years, and the present stock was bought well in advance of the recent rise in diamond prices. There are probably very few diamond stores in the whole country in which you could now get stones of equal excellence at prices so low. ```markdown ``` The government does not profit at all when gold money is lost, because it has an intrinsic value that is virtually the same as its face value. The profit on lost silver money depends on the cost to the government of the silver that goes into the dollar. When silver is above $1.20 an ounce there is no profit. When it goes below a dollar the profit is considerable. On lost nickels and one-cent pieces the percentage profit is large. Oyster Gatherers. It takes 6,000 laborers to supply the American public with its customary first dinner course, says Luther C. Fry, writing in World's Work. This force includes entire families, as well as single men. The father works on the boats which gather the oysters by dredging or tonging. His wife and children can and prepare them for market. Chinese Barbers. The Chinese are not accustomed to tipping the barber. As a matter of fact the Chinese barber is very modest in his prices, and his patrons can obtain a hair cut, a head shave, a face shave, and in addition have his shoulders and back massaged, all for a sum total of less than 5 cents. The straight razor used by Chinese barbers is a triangular shaped blade with straight handle, folding up as does the American straight razor. The blades are made from old rails or any other crude steel which has outlived its usefulness in other directions. Absurd Aviation Theory. Cavallo, who writes about 1785, makes frequent allusion to the irrational attempts and false theories advanced by the projectors of flying instruments. One writer suggests that a great number of eggshells shall be filled with dew, for as the sun rarefies the dew it will ascend and carry with it the egg shells which would rise together with some other weight attached.

The boys' meetings were only fairly well attended during the month, due, no boud, to the fact that football and other games were played almost every Sunday during the month. Saturday (this) evening there will be a big Boy Scout mixer at the Shorter A. M. E. church, beginning at 7:30 o'clock. All sorts of games and sports will be staged. And tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the "Y" buildings, a big boys' meeting will be held, at which Assistant Executive Stevenson, of the Boy Scouts will be the speaker. The first meeting of the newly-formed Boys' Work Committee had its first meeting, Mr. William E. Parks was made chairman, and Mr. LeRoy Perkins secretary. It was a splendid one.

Holly, who was called to that heavenly home above, one year ago tomorrow, Dec. 19, 1919. What is home without a mother, Or the things the world may send, For when we lost our darling We lost our dearest friend. She wore the crown of patience Through the years she struggled on, And those hands at rest forever, Were the hands that made our home. Darling, we are so lonely, How we miss your loving face, You left us to remember None on earth can take your place. Sadly missed by daughter and son, FANNIE B. and EDWARD H. WELCH.

"The pleasure of the public" is the motto of the firm, and because the heads of the various departments, in conjunction with the large staff of employes, resolve to please the public, a great and permanent trade and success greet this long established business as the years go by.

Rice, the popular Advertising Manager of the long established reliable and serviceable Joslin's Dry Goods Company, continues to attract the attention of the public by his system of advertising. His desire to prove that the public is not hard to please when you have made and maintain a reputation for correct methods in business, places him in the front rank of successful advertisers, and the hearty response of purchasers who follow the "Joslin's Ads" is a proof in itself of the general conducting of business throughout the year by this agent, and there is no doubt about the gratitude of the people being shown when one remembers MERIT WILL TELL.

CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER. 22nd Ave. and Humboldt Street. Episcopal. Fourth Sunday in Advent, Dec. 19th. Morning prayer, 11 o'clock. Sermon subject, "An Angelic Prophecy." The bishop has appointed the Rev. H. E. Rahming as priest in charge of this mission. Father Rahming has an excellent record for successful work in Kansas City, Mo., and comes to Denver only for the benefit of Mrs. Rahming's health. The Congregation of the Redeemer is therefore fortunate in securing his services and it is hoped they will rally enthusiastically to the support of the new vicar. Father Rahming will take charge on January 1, 1921. The Christmas Eucharist will be celebrated on Sunday, Dec. 26, at 11 o'clock by the Rev. Father Haldeman of the Associate Mission. The big Christmas dance will be held at Fern half Christmas night. A good time is assured for everybody. A big Christmas tree and free presents for everyone who attends.

In the heart of the business district and making a specialty in women's shoes, Weaver's Shoe Store, 912 Sixteenth Street, fills a very desirable want, as with its quality of goods, civility of employés and courteous treatment of the management, the public will continue their support, thereby expressing appreciation of a business that caters to them. That Horace E. Ramsay, Advertising Manager of Lewis and Son—one of the largest and most popular department stores of the country, is increasing the patronage of this firm to a very great extent, comes in for public acknowledgment, as by the manner he advertises, and his endeavor to please, also offering the choicest goods at very reasonable prices, he succeeds in building a trade that encourages the heads of this business to continue service to the people at their best.

"And the whispered R be here the morning, all loves, and o clude the W ```markdown ``` HE girl with sad memories sat gazing mournfully out upon the brightly illuminated street, abstractedly taking in the Christmas trooping crowds. The man, sombre as well, who had just stepped upon the front platform of the car remained there, crisp and biting as was the yuletide air. There came the call of an intersection and Ada Wilton at the last moment caught the name and hurried to the rear. As she alighted Randall Petrie started, stared, made a movement as if to hasten after her, but the door clanged close and he saw the figure of the only woman he had ever loved swallowed up in the fast receding waves of alternate light and darkness. "Of what avail—she would scarcely welcome me," he spoke under his breath. "We are parted by her will—she must have meant it to be final." He entered the car and sat down in the seat the girl had just vacated. the sent the girl had just vacated. It was an old story to his weary soul, the one love romance of his life. He had met Ada Wilton at her mother's home in the quiet little village of Brocton, had all but confessed his love. A decisive understanding to his proposal was stayed by an interruption. The next morning Petrie was suddenly summoned by a relative in another town. He had expected to be gone only a few days but his sojourn ran into months. Twice he wrote Ada. There came no reply. A third letter was returned to him marked, "Refused." He had later made inquiries regarding her to learn that she and her mother had removed to the city, and he gave her up as lost to him. As the car stopped for new passengers Petrie moved to make room for one of them. He jostled something in the sent. A small bag bag. His quick senses discerned its ownership. He left the car at the first stop. Like some miser greedy of a treasure inestimable Randall Petrie hurried into a public restaurant and sought its remotest corner. He held something that had belonged to Ada! A fitting excuse was given to return it to her. Its contents would surely give some clew to her place of work, her residence. He opened the hand bag. A purse showed the edge of a card in a little pocket. Petrie drew it out. "She remembered—she has kept that all this time!" he exulted. "Then—" Words failed him. His heart beat mightly. He had brought to light a photograph of himself he had once given to Ada. He fingered over several little packages and Christmas cards, then an envelope, unstamped and unsealed, addressed to "Miss Laura Deane, Brocton." Instantly Petrie recalled a close friend of Ada. It was no prying instinct that caused him to withdraw the enclosure. One line perused, his dazzled eyes refused to leave the written pages. "Your discovery that it was not Randall Petrie, but a relative of his name who led such a wild, evil life, the report of which caused me to strive to forget, comes too late to bridge the mistaken past, but, oh! Laura! how can I ever repair the injustice done? Some way, some way, he must know of my fateful error, for I love him more than ever, because of the cruel wrong I have done him." "I had hoped to be able to save up enough to make mamma a present of a victrola this Christmas," ran one paragraph, "but I find I must wait until her birthday. You know how she loves the old songs." Randall Petrie pressed his lips to the signature, to him the denest name on earth, memorized the address written below it and left the restaurant in a glow of hopeful purpose and faith. "Two twenty-three Rossiter street"—he covered the distance as if borne on wings. A new meaning to Christmas Eve had come to him. "I/have brought a lost hand bag," he spoke as his summons at the door of the house he sought was opened. And then he paused. There stood before him Ada. She wavered, overcome by the unexpected encounter. Impulsively his hand steadled her. She did not draw from its protecting touch. In a torrent of words he could not control, without evasion or attempted apology, Randall Petrie told of the contents in the handbag that had led him back to her. Was he welcome? With a low, tender cry like to that of a tired child finding a sure haven of rest at last, Ada's head sank to his shoulder. "And the surprise for mother!" whispered Randall ardently. "It shall be here the first thing Christmas morning, all the sweet old songs she loves, and oh, my treasure, may I include the Wedding March?" N.

A Christmas Gift That Never Fails to Please Exhilerating out-door exercise that brings the priceless glow of red blooded health. What better gift can one give—or receive? This Christmas a Bicycle! Chess Prodigy Defeats Soldiers Chess Prodigy Bereats Soldiers Samuel Rzesewski, chess marvel of the world, playing 20 chess experts at West Point Military academy. It was his first real test in this country. He is but eight years old, is Jewish, and was born in Poland. After three hours and five minutes, he had defeated 19, and the game with the twentieth, Col. G. A. Siebeger, professor of English and chess champion of West Point, was called a draw. A SAFE AND SANE CHRISTMAS Societies are being organized whose members are pledged against giving Christmas gifts outside their immediate families. Christmas giving has been overdone, and if the intemperance can be checked in that way, well and good. But let us hope the "reformers" will not try by legal enactment to impose their views upon others. There are many things in this life to be remedied, and most of them should be remedied without resort to legislation.—Tacoma (Wash.) Ledger. The Raccoon. The raccoon, or coon, as he is more commonly called in the United States, where he makes his home, has the odd little habit of dipping his food in water, as if to wash it perfectly clean, before eating. Coons den up for the winter, like bears, sometimes singly, sometimes several together as if for company, in a hollow tree or other convenient place. Union of South Africa. The total area of the Union of South Africa is 467,701 square miles, or about one-sixth the size of the United States.

THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO. Savages Poor Physically. Savages Poor Physically. The natives of the African jungle, instead of being the lusty savages of imagination, are for the most part physically below par. The majority of them are malnourished and diseased and marked physical defects are common. Poverty and Splendor. I saw many poor, whom I supposed to live in influence. Poverty has in large cities, very different appearances; it is often concealed in splendor, and often in extravagance. It is the care of a great part of mankind to conceal their indulgence from the rest; they support themselves by temporary expedients and every day is lost in contriving for the morrow.—Dr. Samuel Johnson. Spread of Bathing in Europe. Spread of Bathing in Europe. Bathing came to Europe as one of the good results of the Crusades. The Knights of the Cross found baths in general use among the Saracens, and seeing what good things they were, on returning from those wars took the initiative for their introduction. In this they were highly successful first in England and from that to other countries. So popular did the bath become that it became customary to have one before ceremonies such as marriage or knighthood, and the people have been ever since learning the value of keeping their skins clean.
