THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. OUTRAGES OF THE POLICE Some of the Injustices practiced against Negroes by the Representatives of the Law. Police Methods Redound to Benefit of White Gambling Syndicate. A few months ago when we criticised the drag net system, all agreed the principle of universal arrest on suspicion was unjust but still had some virtue. An investigation of its legality by the People's Alliance disclosed that the law in Colorado on writs of habeas corpus together with the legal irresponsibility of patrolmen made the police force autocratic. So far as the drag net has driven out the vagrant and criminal class it has not aroused the opposition of the good people of the community. But when a general order is given "for every Negro on the streets to be arrested," it is time to consider what that means. When a colored lady, who is a taxpayer, was assaulted a few weeks ago, the police were very ingenuous in finding a theory contrary to what she said and no one has heard of any attempt whatever to catch the offender. But a purse is more precious than human life and twice since then all Negroes have been arrested on suspicion. Then again, by an order of the fire and police board, the colored clubs are paying a license for conducting bar rooms in addition to the license for pool rooms, and where gambling is conducting it is with the connivance of the police as is the case with white places of the same kind. Yet the police have arrested pat- VOL. XV. CRIPPLE CREEK C. A. Milton expects to spend Easter in Colorado Springs. The sick are Mrs. Cantey and J. H. Devine. The latter is improving slowly. W. Pennington has accepted a position as night watchman at the Black Sampler on Bull Hill. The ladies of Handy Chapel will serve dinner next Thursday afternoon from 3 to 10 o'clock. All are invited. * Little Pauline, daughter of Mrs. DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1905 Rucker, met with a painful accident last Tuesday by falling down a flight of stairs. At this writing she is improving. Rev. A. E. Reynolds arrived in the city Tuesday, and is shaking hands with his many friends. He says that Cripple is hard to beat. He may locate here again. Rev. Hardy pastor of Bethel Baptist Church, at Pueblo, delivered the funeral address over the remains of the late Mrs. Fannie Jones who died in Victor Tuesday of last week.

In other words after making licenses the means of legally conducting a bar and pool room, they are closed. But even this is not all. While the colored clubs are raided, even places where no gambling goes on, while citizens are taken up indiscriminately off the streets, the gambling hells owned by whites wherein the policy wheels are operated and every kind of game run, go unmolested, Negro patrons and all. In short, the white gambler may debauch the Negroes but Negroes may not play pool nor drink in colored clubs. Though this whole trouble may proceed from the police directly, yet to Mayor Speer, we go for redress, and ask in the name of the colored citizens that either the police, utterly remove the vicious class of Negroes or quit the farce of arresting them periodically only to turn them loose. We ask that such orders to police as place all Negroes under suspicion cease. We ask that our licensed resorts be dealt with fairly, and that the police be not used as boosters for white gamblers and policy sharks among Negroes. A square deal hurts no man, and injustice is a two edged sword. used as boosters for white groes. A square deal hurts sword. Our honorable citizen A. H.

I am building a basement barn 60x35 feet and would be glad if you could inform me through your columns, how many posts and joists would be necessary and their dimensions. The basement would be used as cow stabling, 7 feet high, and the upper part will be 20 feet. What would be the best way of framing the upper part, which would be used as a threshing floor and hay-mows? USE OF ODD MOMENTS. "I don't know how you manage it," said one woman to another, "you always seem to know what is going on in the world, and to be able to read the newest books, and to keep up your music, while I never have time for anything but my children and my housekeeping." The other woman smiled. "I can't see why you don't have time." she replied, "your family is smaller than mine and we both have a housemaid and a cook. Suppose we talk it over." It turned out in the discussion that ensued that one woman got her family of young people up bright and early, so that at breakfast time the conversation could be about topics of world-wide interest, and then afterwards when the family had dispersed until lunch, and the morning's work was done, she could take a quiet hour and read or practice. In fact, as regards her reading, she was never without a book or magazine at hand ready to be picked up if even for a moment, during the day. In the evening, after the last meal of the day she gathered together her young people and read the most important news and this was followed by an informal discussion. This took but a short time and the family thus kept in touch with the doings of the great world. This woman realized a truth that does not come to every one, namely, that a good newspaper is the connecting-rod between provincialism and cosmopolitanism, and that, even if one live in a small place, one need not be ignorant of the game of the nations. Another line of conduct of this wise woman was to have lying around books of vital importance, new books of note. "But books cost so much," cried the other, "we never can afford them. We depend upon the lending libraries." But a dozen books from a library never take the place of one standard work, always at hand when something is needed, always there when one is inclined to browse. When the wise woman neard that remark she smiled. "What did you pay for that Doulton vase you showed me last week? The price of that would cover the books I buy for six months. Of course we cannot afford all the new and expensive books, but there are an extraordinary number of books everyone should know, published at a price within the reach of all of us. We do enjoy so much settling what we shall have and all the children have their own ideas on the subject." "But your general knowledge," pursued the other. "I do not see how you can know about such diverse subjects as radium and Botticelli's paintings." "Odd moments, odd moments" was the answer. "That's the mystery. I utilize all the waste-ends of time—the five minutes before dinner, the time spent waiting for others. The motive power, the determination not to let my family outgrow me mentally, suggests the means to make use of all the stray moments of life."—Montreal Herald. Infallibly. There is no place in a woman's room to put a note or a trinket so she will see it first. However, put it on her mirror and she will see it second. New Orleans Picavune. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Juryman's Truthful Excuse. A juryman who appeared before Sir James Hannen in a London court room recently was in deep mourning and claimed exemption from service on the ground that he was interested in a funeral that day at which he desired to be present. "Oh, certainly," said the courteous judge, and the man went sad-facedly away. "Do you know the man you have exempted?" asked the clerk. "No," said Sir James. "He is an undertaker," was the reply. Professor's Atrocious Pun. Professor Strunk of the English department of Cornell university is a fond papa, as well as a desperate punster. His favorite form of exercise is trundling a baby carriage along the campus walks. One day while he was so employed a friend hailed him with the query: "Giving your son an airing, Billy?" "No," replied the professor with dignity. "I'm giving my heir a sunning." Women Clerks in London. London's women clerks are increasing in number with remarkable rapidity. According to an official return their ranks, which, in 1891, included 17,859 young women, rose to a total of 55,784 in the year 1901. Male clerks increased in the decade by 34.2 per cent only, whereas their rivals advanced by no less than 300 per cent. Experiments With Oil. After six weeks' experiment with two different oils, the borough surveyor of Kensington, London, has reported that the system of laying dust by oil is unsuitable for London. Not only is the cost twice as much as for water, but the smell from the oil caused many complaints where it was used. Prisoner Satisfied with Quarters. A prisoner recently confined in Washington county, Vermont, soon returned for another term. On being questioned regarding his anxiety to go back, he said: "Well, you see I liked the board, and besides, I got interested in a novel they have at the jail and I wanted to finish it." Interesting War Relics. A Bowdoinham (Me.) farmer possesses some war relics of unusual interest. Among them is an old-fashioned bar-shot of the 1812 war, and a solid shot weighing 150 pounds which was used in the defence of New Orleans in the rebellion. Gloom and Cheerfulness. "When I see a man," says Addison, "with a sour, shriveled face, I cannot forbear pitying his wife; and when I meet with an open, ingenuous countenance, I think of the happiness of his friends, his family, and his relations." Lost Limb Bars from Paradise. There is a belief among the South Sea islanders that no man can enter paradise who has lost a limb. For this reason it sometimes happens that a man will choose to die rather than submit to amputation. To Educate Her Sons. Among the 500 women who sell newspapers on the streets of New York is one who sells papers that her two sons may go to college and fit themselves to take an honorable place in the world.

Spring Poem Was Not Absolutely Without Worth. The spring poet, as well as the summer poet, the autumn poet, and the winter poet—all the same man-sat in the sanctum of the editor of The Sunny Smile, awaiting an audience with that august personage. At length the editor looked up with a "What can I do for you?" air. "The poem I submitted last week"—said the poet. The editor took the manuscript from t pigeonhole in his desk and handed it to its author, saying: "I am very sorry, my dear sir, that your contribution is not exactly suited to the needs of The Sunny Smile. Its declination," he continued, unconciously adopting the language of his ejection slip, "must not be understood as implying any lack of merit. In act"—and here the editor again became the man—"while the poem is not available for our uses, I know a man who would accept it. He wouldn't pay much, to be sure; but—" "Anything will be acceptable," said he poet; "unfortunately my muse is lying of starvation and needs bread. What is the name of the man?" "I do not know his name," said the editor. "All I know is that he comes here once a week to take away our waste paper."—Chicago Record-Herald. Knotty Legal Problem. A curious question has arisen in the Maine courts. Last winter several important cases were tried at the January session for Androscoggin county and marked "law court." Immediately after the term ended the court stenographer died, and no one can be found who can translate his notes, because of his peculiar system of shorthand. Must they be retried, and, if so, at whose expense? GLAD HE HAD JIO POWER. One Case Where Lack of Jurisdiction Pleased Judge. Mr. John G. Carlisle tells of the case of a young man in Kentucky taken before a country magistrate on the charge of disturbing a religious meeting. The magistrate in question was a kindly old gentleman, but ignorant of many of the nicer points of law. It appears that when the evidence was all in the defendant was questioned by the magistrate whether he (the accused) had "any reason to give why judgment should not be pronounced" against him. The culprit had little to say beyond expressing his penitence and adding that he would never repeat the offense. The magistrate, however, was firm, and proceeded to the task of imposing sentence. Before doing so he inludged in a long and moving address. Among other things he said: "Young man, I knew your parents well. They were my personal friends; but, sir," and tears came into the eyes of the old judge, "justice is blind, and I must therefore sentence you to two years' imprisonment." At this counsel for the defense arose and explained to the magistrate that, while not presuming to point out to his Honor his duty in the premises, yet it seemed essential to tell the judge, in accordance with well established legal customs, that sentence could not in the present case be rendered, the Court having no jurisdiction. "No jurisdiction!" echoed the judge in astonished tones. "No, sir," reiterated the counsel, "no jurisdiction." And he learnedly explained the meaning of the term. When he had concluded the magistrate wiped a fugitive tear from his cheek and replied: "Well, I'm glad that I haven't. I right willingly discharge the defendant!" "This is the only case," adds Mr. Carlisle, "with which I am familiar in which any judge from a justice court to the Supreme Court of the United States took pleasure in announcing that he had no jurisdiction."

Boy Remembered Recent Use to Which Nose Had Been Put. When Horace started to school he had a cold. It had been with him most all winter, consequently he had come to regard his nose as the very keystone of his existence. He was still doing some pretty tall sniffling when called up for his first recitation. The lesson with which he was introduced to the life studious dealt with that complex and incomprehensible subject, "Boy." The teacher, being a woman possessed of an analytical mind, believed in getting right down to first principles. She not only taught the component parts of the word "boy," but bewildered Horace with sundry questions concerning the boy himself. She tweaked Horace's ears, gouged his eyes and made sportive jabs at his lips and mouth, inquiring the while what the various organs indicated were called and what were their functions. Horace, in spite of his nervousness, acquitted himself creditably, and he would probably have got off with "A plus" if the teacher had let his nose alone. Unfortunately she attacked the offending proboscis and asked: "And what is this called?" "By dose," gasped Horace, thickly. "And what is it for?" she persisted. And Horace, imbued with an honesty born of innocence and long suffering, straightway responded: "To blow." FROM THE PRIMITIVE LIFE. Scientist Suggests Origin of Man's General Right-Handedness. N. Bishop Harman reviews a number of morphological facts in relation to visceral assymmetry in human beings, says the Medical Record. He then advances a hypothesis as to the presence of a general right-handedness in man. He suggests an incident in the life of primitive man in which two of these beings have a hand-to-hand conflict. One learns the secret of division of labor in the forelimbs and uses his left arm for a shield and his right for fighting. He is the victor in the fight and his offspring, after he has captured the wife of the victim, would revert to the maternal custom of using the left hand. The writer then cites various examples to prove the real ambidexterity of ordinarily trained men. Most men brush the hair with a pair of brushes, using each hand equally and coincidently in the task. Women plait the hair, using both hands; they also hold the hand-glass, first with one hand, then with the other, while adjusting plaits, colls and pins with the free hand. The process shows extraordinary bimanual dexterity, with hand and eye cerebration. Violin playing illustrates in a most remarkably way the diversion of labor between the fore-limbs. The use of the typewriter and the inscription of the Braille type by the blind all show a wonderful bimanual division of labor. In Lieu of Wages. Boy—What wages will I get, doctor if I come to work for you? Doctor—Wages? You'll get m services free. What more would yo have. Boy—Eut, doctor, I am never ill. Doctor—Oh, but you will be, I see to that. The Master's Touch. The Master's Touch. In the still air the music lies unheard; In the rough marble beauty hides unseen; To wake the music and the beauty needs The master's touch, the sculptor's chisel keen. Great Master, touch us with Thy skillful hand, Let not the music that is in us die; Great Sculptor, hew and polish us, nor let, Hidden and lost, Thy form within us lie. Spare not the stroke. do with us as Thou wilt; Let there be nought unfinished, broken, marred; Complete Thy purpose, that we may become Thy perfect image, O our God and Lord. —Bonar.

PERSONALITY OF “AUTECRAT.” Dr. Cliver Wendell Holmes Described by One Who Knew Him. Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis writes of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes: “Physi- celly, he was a very small man, hold- ing himself erect—his face insignifi- cant as his figure, except for a long obstinate upper lip (‘left to me,’ he sald one day, ‘by some ill-conditioned great-grandmother’), and eyes full of a wonderful fire and sympathy. No one on whom Dr. Holmes had once looked with interest ever forgot the look—or him. He attracted all kinds of people as a brilliant, excitable child would attract them. But nobody, I suspect, ever succeeded in being fa- miliar with him. I remember one evening that he quoted one of his po- ems, and I was forced stupidly to ac knowledge that I did not know it. He fairly jumped to the bookcase, took out the volume and read the verses, standing in the middle of the room, his yolce trembling, his whole body thrilling with their meaning. ‘There!’ he erled at the end, his eyes flashing, ‘could anybody have said that better? Ah-h!’ with a long in-drawn breath of delight as he put the book back.” TWO MEN AT ONE SPADE. Method of East Indian Coolies Divides the Labor. At hill stations in the Himalayas, India, coolies are employed unceas ingly in the care of the snakelike roads which wind round and round the sides of the hills. Their method of working provides a novelty to one accustomed to the methods of labor. ers at home. When digging, twe men work atone spade, a rope belr- attached -to the lower end of the wooden shaft, and pulled by one coolie to assist the other in lifting after the latter has filled the spade The work is done-very rapidly, s¢ much so, indeed, as to justify the em ployment of two men at one spade; but it*has a decidedly comical appear ance, and reminds one of a clock work toy.—Pearson’s Weekly, A Secret, Tt Is often very desirable to know how to seal a letter so that it cannot be opened without betraying the fac* Steam or hot water will open enve lopes closed with mucilage and ever a wafer.

How She Discomfited an Arbitration Committee and Avenced Deceit. Once upon a time (very recently) a hen went upon a strike and refused to lay. Other hens followed her example and the scarcity of hen fruit which re- sulted caused eggs to retail for some- thing like 50 cents per dozen. In oth- er words, strictly fresh eggs laid by scab hens were worth about 5 cents each in the shell. Even cold storage eggs, which were deadly explosive and had to be handled with care, brought 30 cents. The people got together and remon- strated with the hens, but it did no gcod. Finally an arbitration commit- tee waited on the hens and tried to persuade them to go back to work. The arbitration committee pointed out that only the rich can afford to eat eggs, but the hens refused to work. The arbitration committee then told the hens that if they persisted in the strike they would bring race suicide on themselves, Then a wise oid hen arose and speke as follows: “In the spring when us hens wish to sit the people give us porcelain door- knobs to sit on. If porcelain door- knobs are as good as eggs to sit on they ought to be as good to eat as eggs. Tell the people to eat porcelain doorknobs.” ’ The arbitration committee could not answer this argument and departed in tears. Morel—Deceit will come home to roost. FOR THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH Expert Would Use Trees in Short-Dis tance Transmission. One of the most {uteresting sug- gestions made recently in connection with wireless telegraphy is that of Major G. O. Squier, of the United States army signal corps, who be- Hieves that for short-distance trans- mission trees can be used as substi- tutes for the aerial wires usually em- ployed. Major Squier's plan is to con- nect the apparatus by wires to fren nails driven in the base or the tee from which the radiations would be emitted. While the tree would harély be as satisfactory as a more perma- nent arrangement of wires, yet in a military campaign it might answer for many purposes where the army is operating in a country barren of trees, but here a return may be made to the older method of employing jointed poles or kites or balloons to raise the wires. In connection with Major Squier's suggestion the point has been made that the difficulties of wireless telegraphy in transmitting messages overland would be increased by the presence of an intervening for- est, and should this be the case the operation of wireless telegraphy may be restricted greatly. — Harper's Woartr. od Work Done by Women. In striking contrast to the seclud ed life that the women of India lead stand out the careers of the six Sora- jl sisters. Belonging to a high caste family, they nevertheless broke away from the traditions of their family, went to England to be educated and now each one of the sisters stands out prominently in some line of work. One is a musician, another is an art- ist, and a third has gone back to her native country as a Christian mission- ary, The most distinguished of them all, perhaps, is Miss Sorabji, the law- yer.

At-a certain inn on the fashionable eastern shore of Massachusetts, the proprietor is noted for his easy-going disposition and his lisp. It happened that the coffee was never just right and the women guests, after a piazza talk, finally went to the proprietor and compiained. He promised to haye the matter looked into at once. A week passed with no noticeable improve ment, so complaint was again made. Said one of the women: “Really, Mr S——, the coffee was worse than ever this morning.” “Yes,” chimed in another, even worse than in Nice, where they boil chicory and call it coffee!” “And I've just had to take chocolate —which I detest!” added the third matron. a Finally the proprietor turned, with bis affable smile and lisp, and re- marked: “Was it that bad, weally? Well, am glad I took tea.” What “So Long” Means, “You may have wondered, perhaps how the slang expression, ‘so long, ‘ceme to be so generally used,” said 8 Columbia college lecturer the other day. “It {s usually used in closing a conversation, and is simply a form of good-by. The Norwegians brought if to this country. In that land of the midnight’ sun, ‘saa laeng’ is a common form of farewell. It means the same as the ‘au revoir’ of the French Among the early settlers in America were many Norwegians, and the phrase was picked up from them.

Gentlemen:—The prompt payment of my claim for accident to ankle amounting to $14.00 is accepted with much satisfaction.

Gentlemen: Kindly accept my thanks for the satisfactory adjustment of my claim and promptness with which I received the check, amounting to $10. 70.

Jesse Reynolds, 4335 Vrain St. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. If you are looking for a chance to love you are always finding love itself. A man's ascent amongst the living counts for more than his descent from the dead. Religion has nothing at all to do with life when it has not something to do with all life. The first step toward curing a crooked world will be to straighten your own glasses. FRIGHTFUL SUFFERING RELIEVED. Suffering frightfully from the virulent poisons of undigested food, C. G. Grayson, of Lula, Miss., took Dr. King's New Life Pills, "with the result," he writes, "that I was cured." All stomach and bowel disorders give way to their tonic, laxative properties. 25c at James Hullinger & Co., drug store, guaranteed. Judge Lindsey Of The Juvenile Court. Every person in Denver should hear the address to be delivered at the Eureka Literary next Tuesday evening by Judge Ben Lindsey, who has become a national figure through the juvenile court.

Halvor Steenerson, Congressman from Minnesota, tells a story of a Swede who went to that state from one of the Dakotas for the purpose of buying a farm. A land agent acted as guide and informant to the Swede, who eventually found what he wanted. When the time came to make out the necessary papers, the agent asked the Swede what method he preferred to adopt in making payments. "Ay pay all. Ay haf da money," replied the Swede. "Very well, then. I'll make out the deed," said the agent. "No!" suddenly exclaimed the Swede. "Ay no want deed!" "Why, yes, you do!" rejoined the agent, astonished. "You pay the money and you take a deed for the farm." "No, no!" earnestly asseverated the Swede. "Ay no want deed! Ay had deed oop in Dakoty. Ay pay man da money. He gif me deed. Ay gif heem mortgage. Ay tak land. By en by he get land, he get deed, he haf da money. Dees time Ay want no deed; Ay want mortgage. Ay pay da money; you gif me mortgage!"—The Sunday Magazine. Day or Night? Unquestionably it would be an excellent thing did we confine our pleasures to the day and the early hours of the evening, retiring early, arising early, and doing our work with the strength and willingness such a life would give. We might eat less and pay more attention to food values without decreasing the pleasure of consuming our meals. The food is only a feature of it, the linen, china, and other accessories, and the room itself having a great deal to do with the meal, in the minds of refined people. The time will come when fashion will upset the accepted routine of the day and put back dinner to the hour of our grandmothers' day. Fads have a way of intruding, and idle, restless people welcome changes. If health becomes the fad of all, sacrifices of every kind will be made in its name, and just now it occupies a good part of our thoughts. We are eating more cereals than meat and cultivating vegetables the year round, with no regard to season. Some day a big trust will perhaps step in and put them out of our reach; but there will be Yankee ingenuity to reckon with, and substitutes will be found, never fear. Settling the War on Crutches. In an article in the World's Work on the betterment work of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. is a funny story of the hatred between the Japanese and the Russians in the company's hospital at Minnequa. The writer says: The Russians and Japanese are as hostile individually in Colorado as in Manchuria. Even on the hospital lawn, convalescent Russian and Japanese patients have hurled crutches and canes at one another; and on the school rounds, children have fought with fists and stones. The management had to make the wards in the hospital small, so that subjects of the Mikado and of the Czar could not glare at one another from beds on opposite sides of the same room, and to arrange the camps so that each race or nationality could live by itself.

An ingenious method of preserving food has recently been devised which is based on the fact that powdered gelatin, or thin sheets of the same material, not only do not spoil, but are capable of protecting incorporated substances from bacteria, moisture, and other agencies which bring about decomposition. Thus to make a concentrated beef extract, tea or coffee, extract, soup, etc., the liquid is mixed hot with 1 per cent of primary gelatin, which differs from the commercial article in not having the gluelike taste of the latter. After cooling a jelly is formed, and this is cut into thin films and dried by a current of cold air until it becomes brittle. When this condition is reached the sheets are then reduced to a fine powder, which will keep indefinitely. While it will absorb moisture it does not do so to a degree to occasion decomposition, and the moisture is subsequently given off in dry air. The powder, while likely to cake, forms a brittle cake, not interfering with its use, while it is too hard for insects. When placed in warm water it dissolves immediately, and is thus ready for use. If heated above the temperature of boiling water before packing all disease or other germs will be killed, and to secure the best results the powder should be packed airtight. Such a concentrated food possesses many advantages, and is susceptible of wide application, as upon explorations.—Harper's Weekly. THE RETORT THAT BITES. Some Experiences of a Saleswoman "When a complaint is coming my way," said the experienced saleswoman, "give me the customer who is an out-and-out scold instead of one who is brimming over with sarcasm. You can always get a word back somehow with the cross woman. But the sarcastic snapper has gathered up her bundles and gone before you understand what a nasty bit of talk she has thrown at you. In the department for children's wash suits, the other day, I was kept waiting for a customer's change. When I took it to her she said: "Oh, you might as well go back and get me a size larger. My little boy is sure to have grown while I have been waiting for this change." "I had to get even with somebody for that one. My chance came next day in the ribbon department. We were getting rid of job lots at a bargain. "Only three cents a yard?' asked one woman. "Yes, ma'am,' I replied. "Shop-worn, I suppose?" she asked, suspiciously. "No, ma'am,' I said. 'Did you want them shop-worn?'" THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Queensland Opal. Opal, little opal, with the red fire glancing, Set my blood a-spinning, set my pulse astir. Strike the harp of memory, set my dull heart dancing. Southward to the sunny land and the love of Her! Opal, shining opal, let them call you luckless jewel, Let them curse or let them covet, you are still my heart's desire, You that robbed the sun and moon and green earth for fuel To gather to your milky breast and fill your veins with fire! Green of fluttering gum-leaves above dim watercourses, Red of rolling dust-clouds, blue of summer skies, Flash of flints a-fire beneath the hoofs of racing horses, Sunlight and moonlight and light of lovers' eyes. Pink clasping hands amid a Southern summer gloaming, Green of August grasses, white of dew-strung pearls, Gray of winging wild geese through a sunset homing, Twined with all the kisses of a queen of Queensland girls! —W. H. Ogilvy. Joke Carried Too Far. "This artificial limb business is getting to be something wonderful," said George Moore, of the Gilsey house. "When a man can wiggle the fingers of an artificial hand it is uncanny. Practical jokes of terrible effect are possible with the artificial limb, and the victim is such in the true sense of the word. A man came in here not long ago and walked up to the clerk and in a friendly way reached across the counter to shake hands. Then he wheeled away and left his hand in the grip of the clerk. "The clerk fainted—actually fainted, although he realized, I believe, that the hand he held was but an artificial one. The man who wore it had devised a scheme by which he might throw it off by pressing a spring. The delight he took in the joke ceased when his victim collapsed."—New York Telegraph. A Doubting Heart. Where are the swallows fled? Frozen and dead Perchance upon some bleak and stormy shore. O doubting heart! Far over purple seas, They wait in sunny ease, The palmy southern breeze To bring them to their northern homes once more. Why must the flowers die? Prisoned they lie In the cold tomb, heedless of tears or rain. O doubting heart! They only sleep below The soft white ermine snow While winter winds shall blow. To breathe and smile upon you soon again. Fair hope is dead, and light Is quenched in night. What sound can break the silence of despair? O doubting heart! The sky is overcast Yet stars shall rise at last, Brighter for darkness past. And angels' silver volces stir the air. —Adelaide A Procter. Mr. Cleveland's Musical Criticism- Once, during his second term, G. over Cleveland was asked to speak at a function in a certain town and when he arrived at the depot, the wind was blowing a gale, sleet was driving and hailstones nearly as large as marbles were fiercely falling. Of course, the inevitable brass band was there, and at the sight of the president, the performers struck up with all the strenuosity at their command. "That is the most realistic music I ever heard," remarked Cleveland. "What are they trying to play?" asked Secretary Olney, who accompanied him. "Hall to the Chief!" replied the president with a cheerful Denver Professionals The Statesman takes pleasure in introducieng the following colored professionals and recommends them as competent in their lines.

Michales, superintendent of the bureau of sewers of New York, said the other day: "We hear some strange things in this office sometimes. Some of the stories our inspectors bring to us are hardly credible. "For instance, in the matter of ignorance of the most elementary kind of sanitation: "An inspector went one day to inspect an old house in the country. There was a good deal of smell about the old place. The inspector walked about sniffing. "Dear me,' he said, 'what an unpleasant odor. Can it be the drains?" "The owner of the house shook his head positively. "It can't be the drains,' he said, 'because there ain't none.'"—Salt Lake Tribune. Coals to Newcastle. A visiting Scotchman whose name is familiar as the manufacturer of a famous brand of whisky told an interesting bit of American history the other night. The well known distiller asked if his companions could give the derivation of the term "fire water." No one could, and the Scotchman explained that it was his own brand of whisky which was first given to the Indians in the early days. On tasting it the Indians at once named it fire water. Their reasoning was very simple. "Where there is so much smoke," they said, "there must be some fire." Called to Book. Judge—What is the prisoner charged with? Court clerk—He is charged with arson. Judge—Swear the complaining witness. Witness—This man, your honor, is my husband. We used to be very rich. I went to our lawyer and told him that my husband was simply burning up his money and asked him to do something. He said it was a case of arson. Judge—Did you catch the prisoner in the act? Witness—Did I. Just look at the stubs in this check book, your honor. Grand Duke Advocates Boldness. Some critics of Russian autocracy say that the Grand Duke Vladimir has some excuse for his hatred of popular movements and secret societies. His father, Alexander II.-the man who on his accession to the throne at once made peace in the Crimean war and emancipated the serfs—was assassinated by nihilist bombs. The grand duke is said to have carefully studied the details of the history of the French revolution, with the express object of avoiding the perils and dangers of any such catastrophe in Russia, and he is convinced that if Louis XVI.'s ministers had been bolder they might have saved France as a kingdom.

Judge Dunne, the newly elected democratic mayor of Chicago, received the support of the Negro vote by exercising the square deal policy while serving as judge on the bench. Negroes must learn to show their appreciation to their friends by supporting them whenever they aspire for office.

One of Noted Whispering Places Is Cave in Sicily. "Among the notable whispering places of the world is the 'Ear of Dionysius,'" said the poet-laureate of all the Pascagoulas, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "It is in the shape of a parabolic curve, ending in an elliptical arch, with sides parallel to its axis, perfectly smooth, and covered with a slight stalactitic incrustation that renders its repercussions amazingly sonorous. It is 64 feet high, from 17 to 35 in breadth, and 187 deep. "It has an awful and gloomy appearance, which, with its singular shape, perhaps gave rise to the popular and amusing tradition that Dionysius had it constructed for the confinement of those whom he deemed inimical to his authority, and that from the little apartment above he could hear all the conversation among the captives who were brought to the ancient town of Syracuse in the time of its splendor, when it was the largest in Sicily. The sound of words uttered with a low voice is augmented in vaults or galleries so as to become audible at a considerable distance from the speaker. "A like effect takes place in a less degree when sound ascends from the bottom of a deep well, or when words are uttered at one extremity of a long corridor or passage in a building. If, a phi be dropped into a well the sound produced when it strikes the water is distinctly heard at the mouth, or the sounds of words spoken near the surface of any well is similarly augmented. Try it."
