Colorado Statesman

We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY VOL. XXX CHRISTMAS GREETINGS CHRISTMAS GREETINGS ITH unfailing regularity we have for twenty-nine consecutive years offered in the best of spirits and from the depths of our hearts our greetings at this season of joy, and having another opportunity to express ourselves, this the thirtieth Christmastide of our existence as a news journal of Denver, and really of the West, we deem this a pleasurable duty which with our feeble efforts we delight to perform. GRATITUDE: Being first grateful to Providential guidance for our preservation for so many years to carry on this work, with its arduous and sometimes unpleasant duties, we are not unmindful of the good will of our community, the loyalty of our subscribers, advertisers and other supporters at home, in other parts of our United States, also in foreign lands, and because of our persistence in championing the cause of right for all the people, we have achieved that measure of success which comes as a reward from the public to any news organ that stands firmly on the rock of its principles and ideals in its faithful service; and for this we are also thankful. By the ever-increasing support of the business men and women also professionals of our city; the fair and square treatment of the press by the Mayor and his valuable assistants in the personnel of our City Fathers, whose protection has strengthened us to expose and denounce through the columns of our journal the habitual wrong-doer—that menace to society, who seems to defy all law, as also to extol the virtues and principles of any citizen bent upon contributing to the welfare of the city; the justice and broad-minded action of our Chief Executive of State and his co-workers, officials of the various state departments and our legislators, in the distribution of state matters for publication, also the enacting of laws whereby the press is not curbed in giving full information to the people of all transactions of public matters; the courts and its staff of jurists with their legal and clerical assistants in the Supreme, District, County and Justice Courts—the same endeavoring and succeeding in dispensing the law with fairness to all and prejudice to none. Surely for all these things we are grateful, and to a large extent we are actuated by them to offer our Christmas Greetings, as the difficulties attendant with this sphere of public activity have not only been minimized but overcome. OUR PUBLIC RELATIONS: This fills a particular feature in our journalistic career, as in our own experience of dealing with the public we discover a right and a wrong way, and having adopted the former, we find it to our greatest advantage to practice and keep ever before we the wise saying: "However busy, be always ready to give attention to the public." That cordial, friendly spirit existing between our patrons and us, by which we have won so much of success, compels us to be always reminded of the fact of the worth of PUBLIC SENTIMENT, which, as one writer says, "Makes or breaks you," and as public sentiment or public opinion is the greatest force in the world, a quick recognition and employment of same should be entertained by all business heads and agencies. It was the great, the immortal Abraham Lincoln who, recognizing this power, said: "Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. Consequently he who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to execute." Because THE COLORADO STATESMAN assists in determining the things that are beneficial to the people of this community, state and nation, there is a co-relationship which will not easily be severed, as the longer we remain on the job, the more cohesive will be the attachment between our friends—the public and ourselves. This leads us in further offering our Christmas Greetings to a quality which should be possessed by every business; great or small, both by employer and employee, and indulgence in the same cannot fall to bring that success which is permanent in its nature. A WORD TO THE YOUTH: To the young and ambitious boy and girl with aspirations so lofty as to make us hopeful, that are life shall have run its course with us, some may find pleasure in that Spirit of Service as to maintain the prestige of the COLORADO STATESMAN and keep its columns open, free and healthy for the benefit of the people. To these KENTUCKY WOMEN SEEK GOOD WILL Join Interracial Commission and Ask Justice for All STRONG STATEMENT ISSUED Group Includes Many Religious and Civic Leaders youths we specially offer our best wishes for the spending of a very joyous Christmastide, assuring them that great pleasures are to be found in KNOWLEDGE. and they who dedicate their lives to knowledge become habituated to pleasures which carry with them no reproach; and there is one security that they will never love those pleasures which are paid for by anguish of the heart—their pleasures are all cheap, all dignified, and all innocent; and, so far as any human being can expect performance in this changing scene, they have secured a happiness which no malignity of fortune can ever take away, but which must cleave to them while they live, ameliorating every good and diminishing every evil of their existence. A RIGHT HEARTY GOOD WISH is therefore extended to the readers of THE COLORADO STATESMAN, also its large and influential body of subscribers, advertisers and patrons, for a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, attendant with all the blessings of Yuletide and the MERRIMENT OF THE SEASON. LOUISVILLE, KY., Dec. 12. (Special).—Thirty Kentucky women, leaders in their respective religious and civic groups, met here last week in connection with the State Interracial Conference, organized as the woman's section of the Interracial Commission, and issued a vigorous statement in the interest of justice and good will between the white and colored races. The organization meetings were presided over by Mrs. Helm Bruce of Louisville, and the permanent officers chosen were Mrs. Charles Semple, chairman, Mrs. R. K. Massie, vice chairman; Miss Nannie Hite Winston, secretary. The statement issued congratulates Kentucky on its recent freedom from lynchings, condemns the injection of race prejudice into political campaigns, demands a single standard of morals that will protect the integrity of both races, and declares for the protection of the life and property of all alike, and for fair division of school advantages and other public facilities. It was recommended that in every community an interracial group of women be formed for mutual understanding and co-operation, particularly in matters affecting the welfare of women and children. Following are some of the more striking paragraphs: "We declare our belief in the righteousness of a single standard of social morality for both sexes and both races. We plead for the protection of all womanhood and urge that the integrity of the Negro home shall be held inviolate by the men of both races. "We hold that no circumstances can justify the disregard of civil law and human rights involved in lynchings and other forms of mob violence. We deplore the fact that such deeds have so stigmatized our people that in non-Christian countries our Christian civilization is discredited. Truly thankful for our Kentucky law against lynchings and the fact that it has been upheld, we pledge ourselves to support our officials in every effort to enforce this law. "We believe it to be our imperative duty to cultivate in both races, especially among the young people at home and in school, such attitudes of good will and mutual helpfulness that bitterness, resentment and strife shall yield to a wholesome faith in our common humanity." Similar groups of women have been organized in nearly all the southern states for co-operation with state inter-racial committees and with the various denominational and civic bodies in the interest of better race adjustments. White Texas Editor Ridicules "Nordic" Supremacy and 100 Percentism An editorial published in the El Paso Times of Dec. 1, ridicules the pretensions of those who call themselves "100 per cent Americans," and who claim that the "Nordic" races, composed of light-complexioned people are "superior" and ought to rule other races. The editorial quotes from Professor Herbert A. Miller, professor of sociology in Oberlin College, who declared 100 per centism and belief in the inherent superiority of the Nordic stock were dangerous to civilization. "Individual egotism is disapproved and held in check," Professor Miller is quoted as saying, "too much bragging about one's family is offensive; boosting inordinately one's community is humorous and tolerated; but group egotism as it expresses itself in patriotism and race consciousness is lauded as the highest virtue and cultivated with great intensity. Unrestrained religious zeal is bigotry, and excessive patriotism may be called chauvinism, but we have not yet adopted a word for the vice of over-much race assertion because it is such a new phenomenon." Speaking of American culture, Professor Miller says: "If we were reduced to '100 per cent American art' the showing would be absurdly meager. Most Americans are a little ashamed because for a time we debarred German music." And then finally, of race egotism, he says: "Race egotism is strangely undiscriminating and therefore unreliable. All races have the same illusions about their superiority. The danger comes when, having become conscious of its superiority, the race gets the notion that it has been determined by cosmic process that it has the moral responsibility to govern all whom it considers inferior." NEGROES JOIN TEXAN IN ASKING REPUBLICAN PARTY TO REPUDIATE KLAN James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, New York, today issued a statement in comment on the request of R. B. Creager, national committeeman from Texas, that the Republican party openly repudiate the Ku Klux Klan. "The only issue in the North is not the klan vote," said Mr. Johnson. "The colored vote is involved. Colored voters in the states where the klan is strongest are watching with keen interest to see what stand the Republican party takes. Already Theodore Roosevelt has repudiated klan support offered him, and his repudiation was in no uncertain terms. Is the Republican party going to live up to Mr. Roosevelt's courage? Is it going to maintain the freedom from shameful secrecy and race hatred and religious intolerance, that all true American citizens have a right to expect? "The colored vote in the northern states, immensely augmented by the migration of Negroes from the South, will be affected by the Republican party's answer to these questions. The last thing colored voters will be satisfied with is 'pussy-footing.' The klan issue is definite. There can be no compromise. People who want votes of colored people, and parties who want Negro support in the presidential election of 1924, will do well to make themselves clearly understood in this matter." POSSE SEEKS YOUTH AS SLAYER OF TWO Marlow, Okla., Dec. 18.—Stephens county authorities tonight are combing the surrounding country in search for Marvin Kincannon, 20, member of a prominent local family, who is wanted in connection with the slaying last night of A. L. Berch, proprietor of Marlow's largest hotel, and the fatal wounding of Robert Journegan, a Negro porter. Young Kincannon is accused by Mrs. Berch as the leader of the party of fifteen or more unmasked men who went to the hotel in an attempt to hang the Negro whom Berch had brought here less than a week ago in violation of a long-standing custom which prohibits the presence of Negroes in the city after nightfall. The youth, who is said to have been the only member of the mob who displayed a gun during the affray, is charged by Mrs. Berch with having fired the shots which killed her husband and wounded the Negro. Authorities say he left Marlow with his alleged companions in an automobile shortly after the shooting and that so far no trace of the machine or its occupants has been found. Belief was expressed that the band was composed of boys about the age of Kincannon. County Attorney Paul Sullivan declared a murder charge would be filed against Kincannon as soon as he is found, on the strength of Mrs. Berch's statements. She was the only witness to the shooting besides members of the mob. NO. 10. NATIONAL PRESIDENT FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS SPEAKS IN DENVER Miss Hallie Q. Brown Delivers Forceful Address at People's Presbyterian Church Under the auspices of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and with the state president, Mrs. Ollie Redd of Cheyenne honoring the occasion, Miss Hallie Q. Brown, president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, spoke in Denver Monday night to a good crowd at the People's Presbyterian Church on "Women of the Past, Present and Future." A highly interesting program was rendered in conjunction with Miss Brown's address and the evening made one worthy of such a distinguished guest. Miss Brown is on a tour of the west and will make her next stop at Salt Lake and then on to Pacific Coast points. Ex-Governor Henry J. Allen Denounces Kansas Release of "Birth of Nation" Former Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas, in a statement published in the Wichita Protest, Dec. 7, has denounced the action of Kansas authorities in releasing "The Birth of a Nation" film which had been barred from the state under previous administrations. "Governor Davis' action in letting the picture back in Kansas is sordid and inconsiderate," said Mr. Allen. "There isn't a single good purpose in the picture. The unfortunate passions of the period which it attempts to depict are not all dead. The picture preaches no remedy; it merely reinflames the subject. The only effect follows its reproduction in any community is to reproduce strained relations between the white people and colored people." BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA NEWS Rev. J. T. Muse, pastor of the Mt. Pleasant Church tendered his resignation on the second Sunday of this month to take effect the first of the year. The resignation was not accepted but a motion was made by one of the deacons and seconded by another that a special church meeting be called immediately to take up the matter with Rev. Muse and to see if he would reconsider his resignation. Rev. Muse said that on the 3rd of November, last, the Second Church of Woodland extended him a recall and that he had now decided to return to them, and in fact had already accepted the call. Rev. J. P. Hubbard of the Beth Eden Baptist Church, Oakland, preached at the Mt. Pleasant Church Sunday, and his choir rendered the music And Rev. C. Williams at the evening with music by the U. N. I. A. choir. It is reported that Mr. George Randall of Oakland, formerly of Cheyenne, Wyo., is very ill and requires some one to sit up with him day and night. Mrs. E. W. Mallory and Mrs. Holden of Oakland were in our city one day last week on business. GIVE DIAMONDS and Good Watches FOR CHRISTMAS Do Your Shopping Where Every Purchase Must Be Satisfactory JOS. I.

A FEW CHOWDERS There is no more substantial, warming dish to serve on a cold night than some form of chowder. It may be corn, fresh fish, clams, or salt codfish; all are appetizing when well prepared. Where fresh clams are to be obtained the following will be enjoyed: i j Clam Chowder. Clean, pick over one quart of clams, using a capful of cold water: drain, reserving the liquor and heat to the boiling point, then strain. Chop fine the hard part of the clams, cut pork into small pieces, using a one and one-half inch cube of fat salt pork to try out in an iron frying pan; add one sliced onion, fry for five minutes. Par boil four cupfuls of potatoes cut into cubes, for five minutes in boiling salted water; drain and put a layer of the potatoes in the bottom of the chowder kettle, add the chopped clams, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge with flour, add the remaining potatoes, sprinkle again with salt and pepper and add two cupfuls of boiling water. Cook ten minutes, add a quart of milk, the soft part of the clams, and four tablespoonfuls of butter. Boil three minutes, then add eight milk crackers split; and soaked in cold milk to moisten. Reheat the clam water and add a tablespoonful of butter and flour cooked together. Add to the chowder just as it is ready to serve as the clam liquor has a tendency to curdle the milk. Lobster Chowder.—Remove the meat from a two-pound lobster and cut into small dice. Cream two tablespoonfuls of butter, add the liver of the lobster (the green part) and two milk crackers; scald a quart of milk with a slice of onion, remove the onion and add milk to the lobster. Cook the body bones ten minutes in water to cover, strain and add to the chowder. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Corn Chowder.—Take a can of corn, four cupfuls of diced potatoes, one and one-half inch of salt pork, one sliced onion, four cupfuls of milk, eight crackers, three tablespoonfuls of butter and salt and pepper to taste. Combine as above. Codfish Chowder.—Take an inch slice of fat salt pork, cut into dice and fry in the chowder Bettle until brown, then add six sliced potatoes, three small onions also sliced; cover with boiling water and cook until tender. Shred half a pound of salt codfish, add to the kettle with a quart of hot milk. Season well to taste and serve each portion with a milk cracker which has been softened in hot milk. The constant duty of every man to his fellows is to ascertain his own power and special gifts, and to strengthen them for the help of others.—John Ruskin. MORE SEASONABLE FOODS When cooking hubbard squash wash it without cutting and place it in the oven to bake. When it seems tender remove, peel and take out the seeds. It will be found to be more delicate in flavor than when boiled or steamed When it seems tender remove peel and take out the seeds. It will be found to be more delicate in flavor than when boiled or steamed or even baked in sections. A pumpkin may be prepared in the same way, saving a vast amount of handling and hard peeling to get it ready to cook. It is well to vary the way of serving potatoes; one likes a change from the usual methods of serving them. Pimento Potatoes.—Season three cupfuls of hot riced potatoes with three tablespoonfuls of butter, one-half cupful of cream and salt to taste. Beat vigorously for five minutes. Add one and one-half pimentoes (canned) cut into small pieces and forced through a coarse sieve and beat until well-blended. Reheat and pile on a hot dish. Another appetizing way of serving potatoes for a change is prepared as follows: Spanish Potatoes.—Boll potatoes as usual, cut into quarters, drain and when well-dried from the steam turn into a hot vegetable dish into which is placed two tablespoonfuls of butter to one of minced onion; increase the amounts to thoroughly season the amount of potatoes used. Chop with a silver knife, mixing well; season with salt and pepper and serve very hot. Baked Indian Pudding.—Take a cupful of cornmeal, scald with a cupful of boiling water and stir into a quart of hot milk; let come to the boiling point, add one-half cupful of brown sugar, a cupful of raisins, a little salt, two well-beaten eggs and a cupful of chopped suet, a teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, three tablespoonfuls of molasses, or more sugar may be added if desired. Add another quart of cold milk, pour into a deep pudding dish of crockery and dredge the top with flour. Bake for half a day in a slow oven, stirring for the first hour or two to have the mixture well blended. Serve hot without sauce, or if a sauce is desired serve with a hard sauce.

Scientists differ in their opinions as to whether dumb animals see color. Experiments have been performed with monkeys, chickens, rabbits and rats. In some instances, where the animals apparently responded more readily to one color than to another, it was thought possible that they were affected more by the differences in the intensity of the colors than by the different colors. Latest results indicate that animals do not readily detect color differences. Length of Cubit. Cubit comes from a Latin word meaning elbow. The cubit is the distance from the elbow to the extremity of the middle finger. Caving to variations in this length in different persons, the following standard cubits were adopted by the ancients: Hebrew, 17.58 inches; Egyptian, 20.61 Inches; Romans, 17.4 inches; Greek, 18.25 inches. Meaning of "Equinox." The term equinox means literally "equal night." There are two equinoxes, the vernal and the autumnal, in each year. When they occur the sun passes north or south, over the equator, and the length of night and day is equal over the entire world. The equinoxes occur about the 21st of March and the 21st of September. They Battle Bugs. The warblers are one of the most useful families of bird—they eat so many noxious insects and have scarcely any bad habits, says Nature Magazine. They nest in orchards, shade trees, willows, shrubbery and spruce forests. The yellow-throated warbler tenants orchards and shrubbery near standing or running water. A caterpillar is its favorite tidbit. Hollow Laughter. What has become of the old-fashioned hollow laughter exacted by drunken men from those who were afraid of them?

CHRISTMAS JOYS HE HOLIDAY or holy day season is the happiest event of the year. T Hence it is usual to eall it ‘Merry Christmas.” It marks the high- est and most joyous occasion in -the calendar. During the preceding twelve months the hearts and minds of busy people have been burdened with business responsibilities and care, but at the Christmas tide the bur- dened hearts are losened, cares are relaxed and the pent-up spirit leaps forth into spontaneous rejoicing. ‘To make the children happy, ought to be the first concern and chief delight of all. It should be the glad event of the year, as it represents a significant occasion, ‘‘Heaven’s best gift to earth.” Without which there would be few things to make glad the hearts of the weary, School boys and girls, teacners, servants and laborers ought to turn aside from dull routine and crowd into the Christmas tide many happy hours of mirth and pleasure. Of course, Christmas eve, or the days previous, prepares the way for our Christmas joys, as at this time our heads and pocketbooks are strained to get presents for loved ones at home or abroad. When we know that they are happy we cannot easily restrain the emotio nthat arises in our own souls. None are too poor to give something. It is not what you give, but the spirit in which you give it that determines the result. Let every one resolve to be happy by making others so. THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS HE CHRISTIAN religion has given to the world two distinct festivals T of wondrous beauty and significance, Christmas and Easter. Both grow in charm as the accumulative years crowd on, appealing to the heart and to the generosity of soul. The sentiments and emotions sur- rounding the celebration of the birth of Christ differ but little in degree the world over and carries with it the same meaning to all people. If there is a period in the entire year when we may-catch an occasional glimpse of the universal brotherhood of man it is during Christmas season when the fingers of children pull families, citizens, communities, nations. closer together with the same impulse—to make the world happier with a “Merry Christmas!” ‘The miracle of Christmas—the God in the Child, the Child in the God for the moment at least makes the whole world kin, From what other impulse or source could spring the Community Chest with its broad, il- limitable and indiscriminate charities. Or from whence the “Good Fel- low” movement, the Post-Motor Club and the many other interwoven charities seeking out the poor and needy in dark, out-of-the-way places. One of the sweetest utterances accorded to Him whose birth we cele- brate was “Suffer little children to come unto me." The Christmas spirit seeks to amplify that utterance by carrying the lamp of charity into every home and implanting it in every heart. The most humanizing appeal known to civilization emanates from the Christmas cradle. But let us glean something of this Christmas spirit trom a local coloring. It is the season when our many beautiful stores are most gorgeous in their deco- rations, when our streets and business thoroughfares are crowded for every inch of space; when you can walk to and fro amid the great throngs snd be jostled here and there and yet find only universal good nature beaming radiantly upon every face. Our happiness and social joyous- ness reigns supreme while the petty annoyances of every day life are placed in the discard. “Old Man Gloom,” that rather mystic, but some- times present personage is fed to the flames of an open hearth as our gladitorial spirits mount higher and higher. It is the season of giving in which the purse strings form the only limitations for we would deny none were it possible so to do. Christmas is essentially and primarily a great religious festival within the church. It is approached after a period of due preparation, The solemnity of Advent differs but little from the solemnity of the Lenten season. “Peace on earth, good will toward men” sang the herald angels. We follow the tradition by singing of carols at community gatherings, or upon the streets, or beneath the lighted window of some one upon the bed of affliction. Mass is sung in the humblest church as well as in the vast cathedral, while vested choir follows the sulding star until it settles over the altar where we may eat of His body and drink of His blood. Santa Claus is a living person, our grown up ideas to the contrary notwithstanding. He lives in the heart of men and women, he lives in the church, in the club and in the home. He survives the ravages of tme and bids us keep our hearts and souls young, free of the canker of selfishness and autocracy. Thus we are proud to be living in such an age, surrounded by the ceremonial observances of Christmas time. We feel a little closer to our fellow man, a bit more charitable toward our enemies and infinitely more gracious for our friends. ‘Who has not loved a little child, he knows not Christmas Day.” ‘The world still needs the Christ; it has dire need of the faith of those who wended their way o’er shifting sands, with gaze fixed steadfastly upon the star of Bethlehem as they persevered in quest of Him who was to be born King of the Jews, the Immaculate Son of God, the Savior of the world.

BurDine of 1156 Delaware street still continues quite ill. A fine baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gross at the Park Avenue Hospital, Monday evening. Mother and child are reported as doing nicely. LEWIS AND SON, PUBLICITY AGENTS, ADOPT PROGRESSIVE METHODS The management of the popular and widely known department store Mrs. C. Blanchard of 2321 Gilpin street, wife of Mr. Blanchard, postoffice employee, was taken to St. Anthony's hospital to undergo a major operation. Mrs. Arthur Franklin, who was rushed to the Littleton Hospital two weeks ago for an emergency operation, is reported to be well on the road to recovery, much to the delight of her friends and relatives. Mrs. Robert T. Roy, 3032 Columbine street, is overjoyed to have her mother, Mrs. Katheryne Warden of Henderson, Ky., visiting with her during the holidays. Mrs. Warden has visited Denver before and has many friends who will gladly welcome her to our city again. Mrs Louilla Burton, mother of Mrs. R. L. Lewis and Mrs. Birdle Collier, passed away at her late home in Urbana, Ill., Dec. 13. Mrs. Lewis and sons left Denver Dec. 14 to be present at the funeral, Mrs. Burton was well-known here, having visited her daughters many times. In the case of Cora Johnson Gentry, claiming to be the common-law wife of J. C. Gentry, deceased, tried Dec. 6 and 8, the court rendered decision in favor of the estate of J. C. Gentry. Atty. E. P. Blakemore represented the estate and Atty. B. A. Gates represented Cora Johnson. The value of the estate is about $15,000. THE HOWARD TROUPE, consisting of Denver singers and players, spent a few days in Denver, having dropped in from Casper, Wyo., where they have been engaged for several months. Persons who have had the opportunity to hear them are not slow in expressing their appreciation and pronouncing them a good aggregation as entertainers. A dinner of fine appointments, to which Mrs. Della Jones, popular matron, was hostess, was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. James Cooper, 2524 Emerson street, last Friday evening. Attorney and Mrs. Thomas Campbell, Editor Jos. D. D. Rivers and Mrs. Rivers, Mr. and Mrs. James Cooper, Mesdames E. M. Reeves, Frank Turner and Atkinson were the gay participants of this festive occasion which strikingly brought beautiful reminiscences of Denver's growth in the social life. After a well spent and enjoyable evening the guests departed acclaiming Mrs. Jones a hostess of high and deserving merit.

SANTA CLAUS TAKES OUT MEM BERSHIP IN MEN'S CLUB OF THE REDEEMER The meeting of the Men's Club of the Church of the Redeemer Wednesday night at 2144 Humboldt street, was enlivened by the presence of Santa Claus, as jolly and full of novel ideas as in days of old. He pointed out to the members a sane and practical method of imparting the real Christmas spirit throughout Denver and volunteered to lead a caravan of autos early Christmas morning to many needy homes, who perhaps otherwise would find the great festival day cold and cheerless. Enthusiasm was the visible element in this splendid meeting, presided over by Dr. Westbrook and with J. R. Contee, S. E. Cary and Dr. C. E. Terry hosts. DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING COMPANY FUNERAL NOTICE Campbell—Alfred Campbell, late of 69 Cottage Lane, departed this life Dec. 17, 1923. Funeral arrangements not complete. Remember our services are of the velvet kind. LEWIS AND SON, PUBLICITY AGENTS, ADOPT PROGRESSIVE METHODS The management of the popular and widely known department store of Lewis and Son made no mistake a few years ago when they secured Joseph Emmerson Smith as general publicity agent. Mr. Smith is a well known journalist and newspaper writer of varied experience and it was his knowledge in this regard that has made his services so valuable to the Lewis store. During his incumbency he has brought many progressive and up-to-date methods forward in the matter of publicity that have served a high purpose and reached the public as in no other way. In all this, however, he has enjoyed the fullest co-operation of his very worthy and able assistant, Miss Mattie Durkee. Competent, affable and ever accommodating, Miss Durkee plays an important part in the publicity department of the Lewis and Son store and holds the high esteem and respect of her employers. NEGRO ATTORNEY WINS FAMOUS MURDER CASE Rose Maes, beautiful Spanish girl, was acquitted of murder of her husband, Joe Maes, after the jury had deliberated all night. Defendant's attorney, S. E. Cary, relying on the unwritten law, met stubborn resistance at the hands of Judge Sales, veteran prosecutor of the district attorney's office and it appeared that conviction was certain. For one and a half hour Cary pleaded for the honor of his client, who was the mother of a one-year-old baby, and the verdict shows the results of his plea.

MICHAELSON STORE THRONGED WITH CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS The popularity of the Michaelson Brothers store at 1510 Larimer as a place to do Christmas shopping is being amply attested these days, as the store is crowded at all hours. The buying public has learned to look upon the Michaelson as a place where substantial merchandise may be purchased at moderate prices. Santa Claus has been very much in evidence here during the holiday rush and in the toy department dispenses gifts to children when accompanied by parents.

HARRY HAYDEN, PIONEER CITI ZEN, LAID TO REST Harry Hayden, who was found dead at his late residence, Saturday before last, was one of our pioneer citizens, having resided here for nearly fifty years, after leaving Xenia, Ohio, where he was born in 1861. "Harry," as he was popularly styled, was a very quiet and inoffensive character, and did many charitable acts to a number of needy persons for several years. As an employee of the railroad, he won the respect of his employers and the good will and esteem of his associates. He had a number of friends of both races, who paid their last tribute of respect to his memory by their attendance at his funeral ceremonies held at the Cammel Undertaking Parlors last Thursday. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. A. Miller of the Union Baptist Church, and amid floral offerings and expression of sympathy our friend "Harry" was laid to rest at Riverside cemetery. He leaves a sister, Mrs. Lindsay, and a number of friends to mourn his death. The COLORADO STATESMAN expresses heartfelt sympathy to his surviving relatives. In fond remembrance of our devoted father and grandfather, who entered into eternal rest Dec. 20, 1921. Mr. and Mrs. Moral N. Keelan, Alexander E. Keelan. PUBLIC TRUSTEE'S SALE 2282 Whereas, T. D.

HAZARD HO can tell what is on the other side of a door? This one fronted on a pleasant street and seemed to in- Postman's HO can tell what is on the other side of a door? Mistake Resulted in a Happy Christmas for the Peters Families This one fronted on a pleasant street and seemed to invite one into a happy home. Its plate said that P. Peters lived there, and the door mat said "Welcome." But Mrs. Peters and the children would have been rather dismayed that winter day had visitors rung the door bell, for things were not quite all right with the Peters family. The cuckoo, from his perch in the clock, announced the hours with his customary cheerfulness and polite bow, but failed to dissipate the atmosphere of gloom that seemed to fill the house like a fog. The voice in the kitchen, ordinarily of a jolly character, had sunk into a minor key and sent out a sort of S. O. S. message in the words of the old song: "Moon run down to de settin' ob de sun And de sun refuse to shine." The sunset in the Peters' home had been caused by the cutting off of their supply train. Three months had passed without word or remittance from the head of the family. This added the perils of poverty to the pains of absence and made the Christmas outlook decidedly shady. Young Peters added to his mother's anxiety by remarking that his dad's business trip must have been supply train. Three months had passed without word or remittance from the head of the family. This added the perils of poverty to the pains of absence and made the Christmas outlook decidedly shady. Young Peters added to his mother's anxiety by remarking that his dad's business trip must have been hit by a submarine or something, while his sister intensified the situation by wondering aloud if they would ever see him again. Both of these auguries, so unsuited to Christmas Eve, were interrupted, however, by the arrival of the parcel postman and the deposit of an immense and promising package, bearing in large letters a direction to Mrs. P. Peters. With no clue as to the sender the family naturally concluded the various and valuable assortment that was revealed to investigation to be an evidence of fatherly consideration and the advance agent of the returning traveler. Joy came out with all the other things, and cheer took the place of chagrin. Farther up the street and behind a door bearing the name of Paul Peters there was another household that was not as sunny as it should have been. A letter had come—but a bundle had failed to come. The letter a program of delight, the bundle a disappointment. Uncle Joshua had known their wants by a marvelous instinct, but where was the bundle? Alas! the other things were as nothing for the lack of it and Christmas morning dawned soon discontent. But before the morning had quite disappeared Fred came rushing in with the news that he had seen that Peters boy in the next block with a sled bearing the same name as the one mentioned by Uncle Joshua. "I didn't know there was a Peters boy in the next block," said his mother; "I'll go down and see if they can tell us anything about our bundle." They could, and the mystery was very easily solved by the explanation of the postman at the wrong door, making a very pardonable mistake. An explanation that led in need to a redistribution of gifts and also to a discovery of relationships. For the Peters' families found each other out, as less than a block apart in family ties and friendliness. A discovery that was the very best Christmas gift that they could have had and which led them to think that the wrong door was all right after all. It proved a way out for the P. Peterses and a way in for the Paul Peterses until Pa Peters of the first part put in an appearance through it in time for New Year's with such an account of himself and his adventures as proved highly satisfactory to all the combined hopes and plans of all the Peterses. (c) 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) HER CHRISTMAS TRIP The family were going away for Christmas to their old home in the beautiful country which they loved so much. They hadn't gone back at Christmas time for ever and ever so long. They said, at first, they would give their faithful, wonderful cook a check and a holiday, and then they asked her if she would like the Christmas trip as her Christmas present. Would she indeed? Just because she was no longer a child it didn't mean that she couldn't enjoy as a child! She went and she loved it all—even the over-crowded trains, the hurrying masses of people in the jammed stations—for wasn't it her Christmas trip? She, too, was a part of the great holiday travel!—M. G. Bonner. THAT MONEY QUESTION Unfortunately, those who have the most Christmas spirit to make others happy are shy of funds; and probably if they had the funds, they'd be shy of the spirit. The reason lots of folks have piles of money is because they are careful about spending --- CARRYING IT TOO FAR "It was so sweet of you to bring me these kisses for Christmas."
