THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. ORGANIZATION GROWS AMONG US. Hon.W.B.Townsend Addresses the Forum. VOL. XV. An organization for the uplift of the Negroes of Pueblo was perfected Sunday at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church Its aims, which were fully set forth in the constitution, will be educational, moral and civic improvement. Rev. F. Bray was elected president, W. B. Townsend, vice president; J. K. Williams, secretary; Mrs. J. S. Young, trersurer. It will meet each Sunday afternoon at the church at Pine and Mesa Streets. Ladies and Gentlemen: I have been requested to make a few remarks on this occasion, the occasion of organizing a Forum in this city among our people and in this church. There is a crying need for such an organization in our midst, the purposes of which are to bring us closer together for all things which tend to the betterment of the race. The great battles in industrial, social, religious life and good citizenship can achieve the best results by organization and concert of action. Now and then one of us may be able to overcome the storm of combined oppression and opposition and fight his or her way through difficulties to the stars; but he or she is an exception to the rule which applies to a weak dependent, and I dare say defenseless race. In proportion to the progress we make in education, industry, frugality, wealth and virtue we will advance in good citizenship. And when we make this showing, there will be those of the dominant race DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1905 who will lend helping hands to assist in leading others of the raee away from the domain of ignorance, vice and crime into the realm of better and possibly perfect citizenship. "Reading makes a full man, conversation makes a ready man, writing makes the exact man." By this organization it is proposed to add to our store of knowledge and catch inspiration from good literature and disseminate that knowledge not only in the Forum, but scatter it in our homes and our social life and transmit to our posterity an imperishable record of our observations and achievements in the race of life. Through this organization we have an opportunity and privilege to express our thoughts concerning our race and may be able in this community to convince others of the wrongs heaped upon the race by a plea to humanity's cause at the bar of reason, to the jury of conscience, in the court of public opinion or sentiment and answer some of the things whereof the race is wrongfully accused. To do this we should devise some way to become better acquainted with our white neighbors who do not know us in our home life, who do not know that all Negroes are not alike, and who do not know how we live and care for the rights of our families and that we would make any sacrifice for the rights of our neighbors. The average, yes, the majority of our white neighbors know us only as they see us on the streets or as we perform some sort of menial service for Therefore, when we are heard to complain we are often accused of having the grumbling habit when in fact and truth that with all the burdens and injustice heaped upon us we are the most patient and tolerant of any race of people on earth. But to grumble or complain is a God-given right of man, and man will continue to grumble when there is an increase of unfair treatment meted out to him so often by society. Nothing is so destructive of the peace of a community or so clogs the wheels of progress of society as an element possessed of the conviction that they are not treated with exact justice. I have said that we should become better acquainted with our white neighbors so that they may better understand us when we demand the right to stand or fall in the sunlight of justice on the foundation of equality before the law. If we can become well enough acquainted with our white neighbors to let them discover what good there is in us, they will also discover what our contention is in life and will not be so reluctant in according that contention. We must in some way dispel from the minds of many that phantom of social equality, we must try to convince them that our contention is equality before the law, or, as a convention of ex-slaves expressed it in this manner, "Resolved dat all we ask for is a fair chance." No sensible Negro insists upon or wants any law NO.33 which will bring about social equality between the races, for he knows that social equality is a question of fitness, geniality and compatibility, and of necessity must regulate itself. Every white person is not the social equal of the other white persons, nor is every Negro the social equal of all other Negroes, but we should recognize the fact that "whatever may be the gradations of society, whatever may be the advantages of entitled rank, still in the essential constituents of the human family, that all men are alike and that God is the father of us all." No person is better than another person because of a difference of color, or because of his wealth, but a person may boast of being better than others by reason that it's a fact that he possesses more virtues, more integrity, more sympathy and respect for the rights of all persons, than some one else. Indeed, that person may be said to be better than some other person. It is not strange that persons not born under the influence of slavery, proscription, denial and persecution and whose viewpoints are obscured by the haze of traditional prejudice should be able to see but little merit in our race and guess at the balance. One thing I have noticed in this city during the several years that I resided here is that there is little or no communication between the Negroes and the white people, no recog- Continued on last page.

Although in its infancy it is destined to do great work for the literary women of our city. It is in fact a study club, for there is not a social feature connected with the club. There is a dissemination of knowledge and an assimilation of ideas calculated to put our women on an equal footing with other women. One csn scarcely realize how great and beneficent an education of the mind and heart is in this coming together of these brilliant women. The club numbers twelve married ladies (the limited number) and meets each Thursday afternoon. Each member is to hold a card which will give access to our public library. To show the great mark of progressiveness the club has joined the Colorado State Federation of Colored Women. Current literature is a special feature of each meeting. The hour of recreation is consumed with music from a member making this a most inspiring feature. The course of study outlined by the Committee of Literature, which meets for one hour on Tuesday afternoon prior to the regular meeting of the club, is an excellent line of study, viz, the greatest reformers, the greatest historians, the greatest scientists, the greatest composers, the greatest musicians, the poets, the greatest inventors. etc The officers are: President, Mrs. K. D. Tillman; Vice President, Mrs. Jennie Hurley; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Maupin; Treasurer and Critic, Mrs. Ida Jackson; Historian, Mrs E. Buckner; Corresponding Secretsry, Mrs. Julia Emery, 406 S.

Finny Prey First Put to Sleep With "Devil's Shoestring." On the 1st of July the Indians will have near Sonora a big fish killing, which is considered great sport by them. Already a supply of "devil's shoestring" is being gathered for this purpose. This is the root of a certain bush, and owing to the fact that these roots go so deep, in so many directions, it is considered quite a task to get sufficient for use at a fish shoot. On this particular occasion it is said that 2,500 bundles of "devil's shoestring" will be used. The Indians select a portion or hole of water in the river, and some of them will beat up this root and throw it in the water. This is repeated by another party of Indians a considerable distance from the first party, and the water becomes impregnated with the juice, and the effect on whatever fish may be in this particular place is marvelous. They become sick and float on the surface of the water, and then the shooting begins. The Indians shoot them with bows and arrows and spear them. After a sufficient quantity of fish have been gathered in, they repair to the hills and banks. The cleaning is done by the squaws, and after they are cooked the feast begins. While the fish are sickened and stunned by the juices from the root, the meat is not affected. Forgot Christening in Sport. An enthusiastic angler had arranged to have his baby christened in the Adnaree church, Ballina, Ireland. To reach the church a stream had to be crossed. The mother and the nurse went over on the bridge. The father preferred to cross by boat and agreed to meet the others at the church door. He, however, could not resist the temptation to have a few casts with his rod and he hooked a salmon, a sixteen-pounder. The anxious mother could see the proceedings from the church door, but half an hour elapsed before the salmon was landed. In the meantime the christening took place with the father at a distance.

The bridegroom of a newly marriac par journeying to the elty by train. one day recently, was a railroad man. Congratulations were whistled to him from every locomotive passed in the fifty-mile run. Those on the sidings made the most din, but the engineers on the trains in motion were alsc posted, and whistled as they sped by. One of the party who gave the newly wedded pair a send-off by pour ing rice over them told the other passengers in the car what to expect. Every one seemed to enjoy the toot ing from the locomotives more than the blushing bride and groom. Snake-Charmed Chicken.

You may say that you have failed too often, that there is no use in trying, that it is impossible for you to succeed, and that you have fallen too often even to attempt to get on your feet again. Nonsense! There is no failure for a man whose spirit is unconquered. No matter how late the hour, or how many and repeated his failures, success is still possible. The evolution of Scrooge, the miser, in the closing years of his life, from a hard, narrow, heartless money-grubber, whose soul was imprisoned in his shining heap of hoarded gold, to a generous, genial lover of his kind, is no mere myth of Dickens's brain. Time and again, in the history of our daily lives, chronicled in our newspapers, recorded in biographies, or exhibited before our eyes, we see men and women redeeming past failures, rising up out of the stupor of discouragement, and boldly turning face forward once more.—O. S. Marden in Success Magazine. DISH FOR A GOURMAND. Welsh Rabbit That Brings No Nightmare in Its Trail. A bachelor whose skill at getting up dainty supper dishes assures him plenty of company in the evenings is responsible for a substitute for the welsh rabbit that is free from nightmare. He covers lightly toasted bread with finely grated cheese, and instead of slipping it in the oven places it beneath the flame of the gas broiler until the cheese has been toasted a light brown. If a good cream cheese is used there is not the slightest suggestion of sogginess or greasiness, and even those to whom a rabbit means a night of troubled dreams may indulge in this with no fear of evil consequences. The trick lies in the granting of the cheese. Broken into bits it would melt into a pasty mass. Finely divided, each particle should be individually toasted before it has a chance to melt down, and in that state it is readily assimilated. The Knowledge That Pays. If you glance round at the work of some of our big men you will be surprised to see how many have made their reputation by doing one small thing, but doing it well. If a man gets to the front in the narrow subject the world credits him with knowledge of all the rest. It is, however, even easier to acquire a large knowledge than an advanced special knowledge of one narrow subject. The specialty must not be too narrow, either. It is often said that the pursuit of knowledge has a nobility of its own. But what knowledge? No knowledge is worth obtaining for its own or any other sake, unless it is or will probably be useful to man. James Swinburne, in Electrical Review. Remedies for Toothache. Toothache, that unwelcomed guest, is something to be dreaded. Until a dentist can be consulted and the exact cause of the disturbance located and professionally treated, it is an excellent thing to moisten the finger and after dipping it into some bicarbonate of soda, rub it on the gum around the sore tooth. It is also a relief to mix a teaspoonful of this bicarbonate of THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO soda in nail a glass of warm water and rinse the mouth with some every little while, holding a little in the mouth for a few seconds so that it penetrates all the crevices. The soda being an alkali serves to neutralize the acids in the mouth, which are often the cause of toothache. What Russian Authors Earned. It is the custom for Russian writers of established reputation to sell their entire copyrights to the publishers more frequently than English authors do. Shortly before his death, Turgenteff disposed of the copyright of all his works to a publisher for £9,000. The different sums for which the productions of some of the best known Russian authors of the old school have been sold are given as follows by the informant. Those of Gogol were disposed of for £6,000; Puschkin's and Gontcharoff's each realized about £3,500, while Kryioff's fables brought about £1,400, and the entire copyrights of many well known writers have been sold for much smaller sums than that.—Bystander.

Continued from first page. nition unless it is once in every two years, about election time, when for a few days only we are made to feel how necessary it is for us to be in the community and how important it is for us to interfere in politics-better known as white folks' business. This condition should have a remedy. We should try to become acquainted with our neighbors, there should be pleasant greetings exchanged when we meet; there should be cultivated a broader feeling of friendship between the races to the end that we may have a better understanding upon all things which concern the welfare of both races who of necessity must dwell here in peace. This organization should take the initiative in trying to do something along this line. It might be well to occasionally invite some of the best thinkers from the white people to visit the Forum and discuss with us or for us questions which will be elevating to us and which may bring about closer friendship. This can be done without fear of transcending the line into the realm of social equality. It is not social equality for us to reason together, it is not social equality for both races to read the same books, to listen to the same music, to shiver in the same cold, to warm in the same sun, to love the same country and defend the same flag! The time in our social lives when we must do something or much to decide many important questions which confront us, and which must shape our future for joy or sorrow has come. We must do our part. This organization can do its part by standing as a moderator between the strong and weaker races, by acting intelligently, firmly and conservatively. THE COLONEL'S WATERLOO. Colonel John M. Fuller, of Honey Grove, Texas, nearly met his Waterloo, from Liver and Kidney trouble. In a recent letter, he says; "I was nearly died of these complaints, and, although I tried my family doctor, he did me no good; so I got a 50c bottle of your great Electric Bitters which cured me. I consider them the best medicine on earth, and thank God who gave you the knowledge to make them."

In the police station at Pittsburg, Pa., there is a series of electric button signals by which various calls are sounded. The other night a pet kitten belonging to the sergeant was playing about the desk and in some way pressed the button that sounds the riot call, turning out the whole reserve force besides the regular officers who were sleeping in the station house THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Pleasure is the indulgence in things we can't afford. Virtue is its own reward, and no questions asked. I often wonder if happiness is ever a matter of luck. It's easy to be on good terms with people who flatter us. When a plumber gets a doctor's bill the rest of the grafters all snicker. Some people never forgive an injury until they have a chance to get even. None of us would reach perfection by following the advice we give to others. Pride may go before a fall, but it sometimes helps a man to get on his feet again. The old sayings are called wise saws because they have all cut their wisdom teeth. When a man lets his wife do exactly as she pleases he generally does exactly as she pleases, too. Man's fondness for sharing his misfortunes is only equaled by his hesitancy in whacking up his good luck If some inventor could only invent a collar button that would do its own swearing when it rolls under the bureau his fortune would be made. A woman is fond of talking about the things she would do if she were a man, while a man confines himself to telling what he wouldn't do if he were a woman.—New York Times. FROM THE PENCIL'S POINT. Every man should be a critic of his own actions. Knights of old feared nothing—but a woman's tongue. Many a girl's ideal is shattered when her flance goes broke. Soldiers who lose their heads in battle have no use for pensions. Being beautiful is an accomplishment that is difficult to accomplish. Some married women not only have the last word but all the rest of them. A man doesn't enjoy being laughed at by a crowd unless he gets paid for it. The thin woman who falls from the top of a stepladder will come down plump. Many a single man looks through the bottom of a whisky glass and sees things double. The longevity of the ancients may have been due to the scarcity of medical college graduates. If George Washington ever told a lie in his life it was probably when his wife asked him for money. After a woman has been married two years she wonders how she could have believed the things her husband said during their courtship. --- In the Moonshine Country. While looking over some mining property in Bartow county, Georgia, last fall, says Lippincott's, we saw a cornfield high up on the side of a very steep hill. There a small clearing had been made in the dense forest. Down where we were in the valley it seemed almost impossible for any four-legged creature except a goat to get up or down. "How in the world do they ever get their corn crop down from that mountainside?" I asked my cracker guide. Laconically he replied, "In jugs." Two of a Kind. Representative Dixon of Montana, is telling of the experience of a young Eastern woman with one of his constituents. She left the train at a way station on the Eastern Montana railroad one afternoon and asked the only man in sight how she could get to her destination, far out in the country. "You'll have to wait for the stage in the morning," said the man. "You can't get any rig here." "But where am I to stay?" inquired the young lady. "There's nothing here but the station, and I can't sleep on the floor." "Guess you'll have to bunk with the station agent." "Sir!" she exclaimed, "I am a lady." "So's the station agent," said the man. Frogs Stailed a Big Train. According to veracious officials of the Omaha, it required 287 pounds of sand on the track to run a heavy freight into Crystal Lake on account of the slippery life blood of myriads of frogs which were crushed under the drivers of two locomotives attached to the train, says a dispatch from Spokane, Wash. Where the frogs came from was a mystery, but the officials say that the first effort to get a train through Saturday night was a failure because the rails were so slippery the big drivers would simply whirl around while the engine coughed and spluttered. Finally the train was backed out and another engine added to the equipment, while a brakeman was dispatched to get another hundred pounds of sand. Before the train was able to enter the yards all the sand had been used up. [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. JAMES F. CLARK Seeing Something Comic. A waitress in a restaurant in a northern town is known to the members of the establishment for her ready wit. An occasional customer went in the other day for dinner. After receiving his order the waitress handed him a newspaper to while away the time that would elapse before dinner was served. He looked up after a few minutes and said: "I say, miss, have you nothing comic to look at?" "Well, sir," replied the waitress, without a smile, "there's a looking glass straight in front of you, sir."—Comic Cuts. --- The Natural Way. Passengers on the Northwestern Elevated railroad trains two or three mornings last week saw a dummy little man in the smoker who, getting on the cars at a point where they were not crowded, found room on the seat, sat down, and drew his feet up under him, Turkish fashion. One morning, the last time he was seen sitting in this position, the guard went up to him, tapped him on the shoulder, and said: "Your feet are on the seat. Take 'em down." The dummy little man let his feet shoot out from under him, while everybody in the car laughed at his expense. "He can't help it," said one man in the car, who claimed to know him. "He's a tailor. Just moved out this way. Used to live in walking distance of his shop. He hasn't been on a car in six years until this week. The fellow seems to think he's at work on his table, and he just draws his feet up under him. I don't blame him. That's been his natural position for thirty years."—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Vermont, Once the Granary of New York, Falls Far Behind. Vermont was once the granary of New York city. It now produces only one bushel of wheat to more than 200 in Minnesota, the banner state. Rochester was once known as the "flour city." Now it is called the "flower city." But New York still raises as much wheat as Wisconsin. Maryland produces more than either, Texas nearly twice as much and Pennsylvania three times as much. Only eight states surpass Pennsylvania in wheat raising. Kansas produces nearly as much wheat as both the Dakotas, which are much more often mentioned as wheat states. Only a trifle more than half of the wheat crop grows west of the Mississippi. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio still produce 80,000,000 bushels, which is more than any far western state, and over one-eighth of the whole crop. Little Delaware raises more wheat than all New England. Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina raise 35,000,000 bushels. New York is the second flour-milling center in the United States, though far behind Minneapolis, which can grind 82,000 barrels a day to New York's 14,000. COLLECTION OF CATS' TAILS. Gamekeepers' Effective Method of Gathering His Trophies. There is a gamekeeper at Winchester who has a wonderful collection of cats' tails, which he obtained in the following way: He surrounds the coops in which he keeps his pheasants with a network of electric wires, and when the cats come after his birds they are killed by the shock on touching the wires. In the morning the gamekeeper goes round and picks up the bodies of the marauders and cuts off their tails, of which he has 255 specimens. He is not popular with his neighbors, who suspect that they have contributed to his collection the tails of their favorite cats. Plea for an Offering. There is a difference between an offering and a collection in the mind of at least one well-known colored preacher, who is persistent when he announces that he wants money for any certain object. Not a great while ago, when it came time to announce the collection, which is deposited on the table in front of the pulpit in full view of the minister, he said: "I want a offering dis morning and not a collection. Maybe you don't know it, but dere is a difference between a collection and a offering. A offering is what you give out of your heart and a collection is anything dat is left over. When you give a offering dere is more heart in it than dere is in a collection. Remember, bredren and sistern, it is a offering dat I want dis mawnin'." Mixed Ideas of School Boys. Here are some queer answers given by school boys and Sunday school boys. One youngster was asked why David preferred to be a door-keeper in the house of the Lord. His reply—"Because if he was a door-keeper he could walk outside while the sermon was being preached"—is worthy of mention. A confused recollection of different texts and facts is shown in many queer answers, such as that of the boy who spoke of the man who THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. went "down from Jerusalem to Jericho and as he was going thorns sprang up and choked him." Still more "mixed" must have been the mind of the child who wrote: "As Elijah went up to heaven he dropped his mantle and Queen Elizabeth walked over it." KNEW HE WAS RELIGIOUS. Help Judged Andrew Carnegie by His "Reeligious" Music. It is a fact not generally known that Andrew Carnegie has the organ played every morning in his Fifth avenue mansion when he is in New York. This practice of the ironmaster has given his servants the impression that their master is a churchgoing Christian, more especially as he insists on his help—who, by the way, are all Scotch—going to church every Sunday. This belief of the Carnegie servants gave a newspaper man a great deal of work and led to his being rebuked by Mr. Carl Schurz, neighbor of Mr. Carnegie, recently. The library giver has been reported as saying that he had ceased to pray twenty years ago, and the scribe was sent out to ascertain Mr. Carnegie's religious proclivities if possible. Mr. Carnegie himself was away. "Sure he goes to church," said the man who answered the reporter's ring. "He's a braw releegious man, he is, and will have nae one aroond him who isn't a guid Chreestian." "How do you know he goes to church?" said the scribe. "Isn't that enoo' for us? Who'd doot it when he thinks so muckle o' releegion that he has releegious music before breakfast every day?" When Mr. Schurz was asked if he ever saw his neighbor going to church he looked the reporter over sharply for a minute, and said: "Sir, I am my brother's keeper?" Dolce Far Niente. A little time of silence in the heat, A little time of indolent delight. A little slumber at her gentle feet Who brings enchantment and excess of light; A little languid dreaming in the sun; And, ah, how simply happiness is won! Long have we toil'd in dusty city ways, To snare the flying form that will not turn And bless us, all our bitter, strenuous days; Long have we borne with hearts that throb and yearn. The sting of sorrow. Ev'ry human woe Has stricken us, and yet we did not know. We did not know what happy dreamers guess, That only when the busy hands are still. And thought contents itself in idleness, Is she subservient to our grasping will. Then, 'twixt a slumber and a sigh, man hears The memory-haunting music of the years. A little time shut in with flow'rs and leaves, A little space to watch the clouds go by. Drifting in depths of blue, and sadness leaves The heart as fresh and radiant as the sky; And she who scorn'd us when we could but weep. Visits our hearts when they are prone to sleep. —Pall Mall Gazette. Killed Fox With Ax. Edward O. Frink killed a fine fox with an ax one day recently at Hinsdale, N. H. Mr. Frink was passing through some woods carrying his ax in his hand. Suddenly he saw something move in the brush, and thinking it was probably a rabbit, he hurled his ax at it. To his surprise out jumped two large foxes, one or which was so crippled as to be easily captured. JUBILEE IN JAPAN CELEBRATION OVER VICTORY OF LIAOYANG. Grand Display During Daylight Eclipsed in Beauty by the Procession at Night—Scene to Delight the Eye of an Artist. On the evening of Sept. 4 messengers went from house to house with their instructions. On the morning of the 5th the entire country broke out into a blaze of banners, flags, large and small. Here and there was an American or English flag; but the air was fairly alive with the Japanese red sun in a white field, or the war flag with its red rays streaming. The colors were only red and white and the bunting, wound about poles everywhere, was set off by the green of the immense arches. innumerable lanterns lined the street and hung from tall poles in long festoons. No wonder that the price of lanterns went up from two cents and a half to twenty-five cents, and that finally none were to be had. All through the next day the people were busily engaged in completing their preparations for even a grander display in the evening. Transparencies were prepared displaying mottos of congratulation, or scenes from the war or humorous pictures of falling bears and eagles, on their backs, tumbling through space with wings outspread and claws clutching at the air. And when the night came panorama baffles description. In the light of the paper lanterns everywhere one saw the red in its white field on flags and banners and bunting and transparencies. And, then the processions! Those who have seen a torchlight procession in America, with the air filled with smoke of the torches and the grimy tin lamps dripping their oil over their bearers, know nothing of an oriental procession with its thousands of pretty lanterns of all shapes and sizes, borne aloft upon bamboo sticks, each lantern decorated with the Japanese flags or some fanciful design—a veritable river of fire growing and rippling till lost in the distance.—John E. Dearing in The World To-Day. "YOU CAN NEVER TELL." Human Nature a Constant Surprise to Once Trusting Man. James P. Edoff of San Francisco, who lives half the year at the Auditorium hotel, believes himself a cynic, but is a sentimentalist. To prove it he tells this story on himself: "I was doing business in Nevada thirty years ago. I didn't believe then that any man ever stole or lied or did mean things. Smith, one of my employes, came up to me. 'Jim,' he said, 'you don't believe Brown steals. Well, come down to his house right away. I went, and we entered by the back door. In the cellar we found all sorts of things belonging to us, from sacks of flour to furniture. "It made me sick and I went back to the store and walked right up to Brown. "Brown,' said I, 'how long have you been a thief?' "He owned up. "About a year,' he said. "Are you going to lock me up?" "No, I ain't,' said I. 'Here is a $100 bill, and a freight train is pulling out the yards. Get on, get out of the state, and don't let me catch sight of you again.' "He took the bill and got. I've been studying human nature close ever since, and I'm never surprised at anything, goodness or badness, meanness or nobility. You can never tell." Chicago Chronicle. 2 CRIES HEROINE3 OF FICTION. "‘Eyes like stars!’" sniffed the captious critic contemptuously as he threw down the novel he was reading. "Fancy a girl with eyes that really looked like stars—little specks of light! Why, nobody's eyes look like stars, unless it may be a cat's eyes in the dark. And 'Lips like cherries!' Absurd! Just imagine a girl with lips like two little round red balls. Why, it would be a positive deformity. "Even Byron says of one of his heroines that she had a 'brow like a midsummer lake.' Midsummer frog pond! Could you really fall in love with a girl whose forehead actually looked like a lake? No; of course you couldn't, nor anybody else. Midsummer lake only makes it worse. It gives an idea that the girl was perspiring freely. Then here is another passage," continued he, picking up his discarded book and reading: "Her slender foot was scarce larger than the blue-bells it crushed down." "Now, isn't that ridiculous? The girl would have toppled over, been absolutely unable to walk with such feet. I tell you if half the heroines of romance are anything like what they are pictured, they belong in dime museums and not in the pages of a book." IS AN INTELLIGENT PLANT. How Wild Fig Tree in Mexico Spreads Its Kind. Among all the forms of vegetable life in the Mexican tropics the wild fig trees are the most remarkable, says the Geographic Magazine. Some of them show such apparent intelligence in their readiness to meet emergencies that it is difficult not to credit them with powers of volition. In tropics, where the wild figs flourish, there is a constant struggle for life among numberless species of plants. Certain of the wild figs appear to have learned this and provide a fruit which is a favorite food for many birds; then an occasional seed is dropped by a bird where it finds lodgement in the axil of a palm frond high in the air. There the seed takes root and is nourished by the little accumulation of dust and vegetable matter. It sends forth an aerial root, which creeps down the palm, sometimes coiling about the trunk on its way. When this slender, cordlike rootlet reaches the ground it secures a foothold and becomes the future trunk of the fig tree. Blind Angler and Organist. A resident of the Potteries, who has been spending his holidays in East Anglia, has been fishing in the company of an expert angler who is absolutely blind. "It is," says this Staffordshire angler, "simply marvelous how this blind man can find his way along the waterside, select his swims, adjust his tackle, put a bait on the hook, cast out, and tell when he has the slightest nibble." The blind angler is also an accomplished musician, and has charge of the organ at the parish church.—London Chronicle. ARTIFICIAL SOD NOW MADE. Intended Chiefly to Supply Demand from Large Cities. The demand for sod in a large city is greater than can be supplied from the surrounding country, with the re- sult that grass for transplanting ifs ‘now shipped long distances, and the price is correspondingly high. It is no wonder, then, that an artificial sod has been made. The green sod is capable of transplanting at any time of the year and has the advantage of pre- senting a reasonably green sward at once, whereas the artificial sod takes on its emerald hue only after the Bey, i) Be. ee Ae. Re tac ees! BS: yay iN e a cee warm sun has smiled upon it. The inventor of the latter, however, claims that one is rewarded for this delay by the superior appearance of the grass when it finally does make its ap- pearance, being uniform ja its char- acter and free from weeds and other undesirable growth. The sod consists of rich soil with grass seed embedded therein, the mass being pressed or dried In a sheet which is laid on the ground where the growth of grass is desired.

Y., there is a wealthy farmer named Charles Adams whose daughters have not the slight- est trouble in finding husbands despite the fact that their father is notorious- ly opposed to their meeting any eligi- ble young men. Two years ago the odest of the daughters slipped out and eloped with her lover, to the sur. prise and consternation of the stern parent, who tightened his watch on the girls and vowed that no other one of bis daughters should be wed for a while yet. But last year another daughter did likewise. * Papa Adams said things and watch- ed Sadie, the youngest, like a hawk. Night and day he was within hearing distance of her and never did he al- low her to go to town without his ac- companying her as an escort. No young man of the countryside was going to fool him and get Sadie. But while he was watching carefully these yorng men he neglected to watch Walter Washburne, the overseer of his farm. Sadie and Walter managed to fall in love without exciting paren- tal suspicion, and the other day Wal- ter hitched up and dreve Sadie to town, where they were married. Now Papa Adams {s quite convinced of the truth of the old adage to the effect that jove will triv:aph despite all. Mint Refuse Worth $30,000. “The United States government as- sayed the old mint at Denver recent: ly,” said R. W. Burchard of that city, “and got $30,000 in the clean uv. That THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADC. sounds like a peculiar statement, but it is the truth. “The new coinage mint, which had been in course of construction there for about seven years, was completed recently, and the government moved from the old mint, which had been oc- cupied for about thirty years. “When they got ready to clean out the old place every particle of dust and dirt was carefully saved. This was run through the assay furnace, and it was found that the tiny par- ticles of gold which had accumulated about the building in all those years had amounted to the snug sum I have mentioned. “The particles had been carried through the air during the refining processes, and were so tminute that they had not affected the weight of the metal assayed to any appreciable extent. It was all velvet for Unole Sam and more than paid the expenses of moving to the new mint.”—Milwan- kee Sentin?’. MEMORY HARD TO BEAT. Colored “Auntie’s” Claim That Was Almost the Limit. Almost the Limit. In the days of Barnum, an old “auntie” lived in East Tennessee who was reputed to be of great age. Like all of her kind she was extremely proud of the distinction, and never underestimated her age in the least. She had outgrown that weakness de cates past. Barnum heard of her, and conclud- Ing that if she was as old as rumor made her she would be a valuable ac- quisition to his show, he sent an agent down to make an investigation. She caught the direction of the wind very promptly, and was prepared for any test question that might be asked. Gradually the agent led up to the crucial interrogatory, and at last said: “Aunty, do you remember George Washington?” “Does I recomember George Wash- ington? W’'y laws-a-niassy, Mistuh, I reckon I does. I orter, ortent I? Fer I done nussed him. We played to- gether evy day when he was a li'l chile.” “Well, do you remember anything about the Revolutionary war?” “G'way, chile! Yes, indeed I does, Honey. 1 stood dar lots er times, an’ seed de bullets flyin’ around’, thick- er'n rain drops.” “Yes—well, how about the fall of the Roman empire? Do yon recollect anything about that?” “The old woman took a good, long breath. In fact, it amounted to a sigh. She reflected for a few mo- ments, and sald: “De fact is, Honey, I was purty young den, an‘ I doesn't have a very extinct recommembrance ‘dout dat; but I does "member, now dat you speaks of hit, dat I did heat de white folks tell about hearing’ same'pn drap.” CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, 24th and California streets, Rev.

Longevity in Virginia. “Mine is the prize state for longevi- ty,” said a Virginian who was regis tered at a Chestnut street hotel. “I can produce a list of nineteen former citizens and slaves of my state whose years when they died aggregated 2,241 years. Of the nineteen persons named the youngest when he died was 110 years old. Two lived to be 130, one to be 126, two to be 121, one to be 116, two 115, three 114, one 113, two 112, two 111, one 110, one 120, and one, a negro, lived to the ripe old age of 136 years. Of the nineteen persons on'y gix were negroes; all the others were whites. “While I am in the humor I will tell another one. There is, or was, a few years ago, standing on the banks of Neabsco creek, Virginia, a tombstone carrying probably the oldest mona- mental inscription in the United States. The date is 1608, and it is thought that the deceased wag one of John Smith's men. This 18 the in- scription: ‘Here lies ye body of Lieut.

Olive Baptist Church unexpectedly tendered his resignation which was accepted and Sunday evening preached his farewell sermon.

Reynolds will leave for Elpaso The Vernon Literary is the name given an organization that wasperfected Friday evening at the A. M. E. Church. Remarks were made by Revs. Byas and Jones and T. O.
