DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1905 NEGRO DO HI Keely Monday in the Sea aid us in securing a colo DO HIS SHARE? in the School Election You ring a colored teacher. WILL EACH NEGRO DO HIS SHARE? By voting for Thomas Keely Monday in the School Election You will indirectly aid us in securing a colored teacher. A peculiar significance for colored voters attaches to the school election which will be held next Monday, May 1. Up to this time we have had no one represented in any of the departments under the Board of Education. But this year a colored girl graduates from the State Normal school at Greeley, and will have fulfilled every qualification for teaching. It remains for the Negroes of Denver to stand behind her in her effort to secure employment. and urges every Negro to vote for his reelection. The only qualifications for voting are age and residence. The hours for voting are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the school houses. No other reason need be given for the support of Mr. Keely than what his election means to us as a people. We have waited long for a colored girl to so fit herself for teaching that no question of her qualifications might arise. Now we have one and it is up to the colored people of the community to take a stand for her friends that she may be placed. The old style method of voting, not the Australian system, will prevail. It is up to us to devote a half hour Monday to the opening up of new employment for our girls. Mindful of this a committee of citizens waited upon Mr. Thomas Keely, one of the candidates, and laid before him the situation. So satisfactory was their conference that THE STATESMAN unhesitatingly endorses Mr. Keely's candidacy for reelection ____ ALE HOUR IT TAKES A HALF HOUR. VOL. XV. NO.37 Race News. Despite threatened lynching and the fact that the time limit set by citizens of Dent for the departure of Gray, the colored farmer is still in possession of his home. And the citizens declare that they will never permit a Negro to live in their village. Instead of obeying the orders, Gray has bought four guns and has posted the following warning: "I desire peace, but am convinced that the best way to keep it is to prepare for war. All persons are warned against entering these premises after dark, and whosoever does so it is at his own peril." Gray says; "No man is required to go on his knees an t beg the privilege of living from another man. I had two uncles and a father who lost their lives in the Civil War, and I shall never be driven alive from any place beneath the folds of the flag they fought to uphold." Gray is an attorney and a graduate of Columbia University, New York. Ohio Standard. George C. Ellis, a Negro laborer at the Washington barracks reservation, who is credited with having saved the statue of Frederick the Great from damage through the explosion of a package of explosive sometime ago, has received official acknowledgment of his action in a personal letter of commendation from Secretary Taft. In the letter Secretary Taft says: "Your conduct on that occasion was most praiseworthy, and the department makes this official acknowledgment of your act in order that the permanent record thereof may in some measure serve as a reward and testimonial."—Tribune. All Were at One Time Black. While there are no black races indigenous outside of the tropics, the leading American, English, French and Italian ethnologists boldly teach that the white races of the world are simply modified negroes and that the Anglo-Saxon and other white races are of an African origin, having crossed over into Europe during the weolithic age. Their habits, character of food, environments, attitude of their homes, climate, occupation, their greater distance from the rays of the tropical sun, are some of the ethnological factors which are believed to have bleached their skins and made them white. Requisite for Navy Chaplains. One of the first requisites for the successful navy chaplain is personal fearlessness. If it is backed by a powerful physique so much the better, for his pastorate is among men trained in the iron-mailed school of war, where the capacity for fighting is the cardinal virtue. A single act of real heroism, a fetching demonstration of physical prowess, a display of manly courage in the face of danger will go further in gaining the good will of the men than a hundred sledgo-hammer sermons, a shipload of sound advice or an ocean of trulsms. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLOPADO. FORTUNE IN PILLOW CASE. Ohio Man Carried His Distrust of Banks to Extremes. The money counters in the United States treasury were startled one day by the appearance of a remarkable-looking "fat man" who entered the department and told a strange tale. He said he was an Ohio farmer and did not believe in banks, and so had buried his money in the ground for safekeeping. He had dug it up, and was horrified to find that it was slowly turning to dust, as notes will when long buried. Panic-stricken, he gathered the disintegrated money into an old pillowcase, bound it around his waist beneath his clothes and started for Washington. He traveled part of the way on horseback, part of the way on an Ohio river steamboat and part of the way by train. During the journey he never once took off the pillowcase. He even slept with it on. The officials of the treasury department und it difficult to make him part with it. He did not want to go with a clerk to a hotel for fear the clerk might rob him, but as it was manifestly impossible for him to disrobe in the office he had finally to submit. They got the money at last, and the condition of it was so bad that Mrs. Leonard had to be called to decipher it. So great was her skill that the farmer lost only a few hundred dollars out of $19,000.—Everybody's Magazine. HER TURN HAD COME. Woman Got Even for Unkind Remark of Long Ago. "When you know that a woman is sensitive about any personal peculiarity," said Mrs. Snippy, "just duck whenever mention of it comes your way. Smart sayings that wound other persons' feelings are very amusing sometimes. But you never know when they are coming back at you. Once, at an evening party, I was indiscreet enough to win a laugh by a joke about Mamie Makeup's long nose. It was a sight, you know. Mamie cried, and never answered when I told her I was sorry. But she did not come to my wedding, and I lost sight of her for ten years. Then I heard that she was married to the manager of a prominent theater. She gives 'Sunday evenings' during the winter, where you may meet all the top-liners on theater programmes. In summer she invites the girls of our normal school class to her Seabright cottage for a week-end. When they write to her for matinee tickets she sends them. The other day I met her in Broadway. I had been told she was stouter, and that her face had filled out. But I was scarcely prepared for such a change. "Why, how do you do, Mame,' I said, extending my hand, 'why haven't you been to see me? We must visit. How stout you have become.' "She did not see my hand. She saw me reach for my card case, but she made no move toward hers. She gave me a stare that was icy enough to call for the red ball, and remarked, as she passed on: "Thank you. I have been growing up to my nose.'" Good words cost nothing and are worth much; hot air is plentiful and is worth nothing. Attention! Attention!

Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson left Monday for Denver where she is to deliver her famous lecture on "Woman's Work," and also read a paper for discussion before the Eureka Literary. Owing to the inclement weather Easter services were not so well attended Sunday. However, excellent programs were rendered which were thoroughly enjoyed by those present. Mrs. H. D. Earl was hostess at a very delightful musicale Wednesday THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. morning of last week, complimentary to Mrs. Grant. The program which was rendered by some of the best musical and literary talent of the city, was one of the best ever presented. One of the most beautiful numbers rendered was a solo "Far Away," by Mrs. Grant. Mrs. Eva Carter Buckner pleasantly entertained at an informal dinner in honor of Mrs. Grant, Wednesday evening of last week. Those who enjoyed this spread were; Mrs. Grant, Rev. and Mrs. Tillman, Mrs. DeClelland and Isaac Carter. Howard, the sixteen year old son of Rev. and Mrs. Gladden, passed away Tuesday after a lingering illness. He was a bright little Christian and through the six years of suffering he bore up bravely. He has left us a beautiful lesson of patience and forbearance and in his death we feel our loss keenly. We ex end to the bereaved ones our sincere sympathy in their affliction. Reflection. Yes, I have been thinking to-day, Of the joys and the sorrows of the past, How merrily glided each moment away, How winsome, how joyous, how bright seemed each day, Till the years of my youth were past. Ah! God was good to me then, And his love surrounded my path; He gave me a heart that was as light and free As the song of a bird, or the hum of a bee; But all that has gone with the past. And God is good to me now. Though the stroke of his rod is hard; For I have felt the depth of the woe. The dreadful pain which all must know, When a loved one sleeps under the sod. So I have been thinking to-day, And this lesson I've learned from the past, That the joys and sorrows we live through here, Make us tire of earth and for Heaven prepare, Where our joys forever will last.

Alice writes it's something she has made for me— I must 'promise to wear them constantly!— The dear little angel—she only lacks wings! (If I only knew the name of these things!)

Pueblo experienced one continual rain storm all day Sunday to the disappointment of the children and many of the older people. There was Holy Cominudion and baptising at St. John's Church and the program was all that could be expected owing to the rain and slush. Mesdames J. P. Watson, W. B Townsend and Mr. J. A. Jones were entertained Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. J. A. Jones, by the Gatewood Orchestra through the telephone. The music was "Big Indian Chief." The Executive Committee of the Business Men.s League met Monday evening at the home of the Treasurer, Chas. Smith. Owing to the muddy condition of the streets the meeting was not a success and another meeting was set for next Tuesday night at St. Paul's Church.

Designed to Accommodate Animals of All Kinds. J. McP.—Please publish two plans, one for a poultry, hogs and wood house, and the other for larger stock and feed. I should like the barn to hold 40 or 50 tons of hay, 10 or 12 tons of grain, 8 cows and 3 horses on the ground floor. I want to have about 12 young cattle down in the cellar, and manure in the cellar, too. I intend to build it on a hill, with driveway door on north and door for manure on the south. I would like to have a room for grains. Can you B A C D Fig. 1. Ground Floor of Stock and Feed Barn.

I intend to build a building to keep 20 hens for winter, 2 or 3 scores of chickens in spring, and 4 pigs and a room for breeding sow and a room for 5 or 8 cords of wood. Also I would like to have a room in which to boil feed. The size of the barn is 46 x 56 feet, with 18 feet posts with hip roof. It contains four bents—a twenty-two foot bent, where horses and cattle stand; a fourteen foot driveway, and a twenty foot bent, where granary and mow are shown. There is an overlay in front of cattle and horses and to give YOUNG CATTLE FEED ROOM SHEEK MANURE Fig. 2, Basement Plan. room for feeding and also room to take a team out if there is a load of hay or grain on the barn floor. There is a trap door behind both horse and cow stable to drop the manure through into the manure shed below. The basement contains a room for young cattle to run loose in, a feed room, and sheep pen, also a manure room under cow and horse stable. If the young cattle are to be tied up, the partition between feed room and where the cattle are can be moved back so that there are thirteen feet from the wall to front of manger; this will give plenty of room behind cattle. The sheep pen can then be made wider and shorter and leave room for two box stalls along the north end of the feed alley. Nothing New in This. An English doctor advocates going barefoot as being particularly healthy, and by way of an object lesson sends his children to school in that condition. We are taught in early youth, Man is clay—and 'tis the truth. He makes a million dollars quick. Then people say, "He is a brick." But when he drops it with a thud, His name is clay—or rather, mud. 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 you have. Boy—Eut, doctor, I am never ill.

According to Sir Samuel Wilkes, Fahrenheit constructed his thermometer from one made many years before by Sir Isaac Newton. "In the transactions of the Royal society for 1701 will be found the paper written by Sir Isaac Newton, who was at that time secretary to the society," says Sir Samuel. "He invented an instrument for measuring the degree of heat in fluids by taking a tube and filling it with linseed oil. On this he marked the freezing point as zero by putting the tube in ice, and in the same way he marked the point when placed in boiling water. The very awkward scale which we now use is evidently that of Newton, for the decimal system not being then in use, he took the number 12 to denote the heat of the body; this he found, and made it the starting point of his scale both upward and downward. "It was some time after this that for convenience's sake, the degrees were divided into two, and thus the body heat was 24 above zero and boiling point 53. When, many years afterward, Fahrenheit made his instrument and used mercury instead of linseed oil, he again divided these degrees into four, so if the number 1 multiplied accordingly we have 21 for the boiling point and 96 for the body heat. "Fahrenheit, finding he could get a lower temperature than freezing, made this point zero, which brought the number 8 of Newton's to 32 of Fahrenheit. In this way the thermometer was constructed; awkward as the scale is, yet it is historically interesting as having been made by our great philosopher and formed on the basis of the heat of the human body.

Church. The decorations of lilies and cut flowers were not effected by the slush upon the streets. An appropriate sermon was preached by Rev. Hubbard. Although the rain continued all day, it did not prevent the little folk from rendering a delightful program at 3 p.m. Mrs. White deserves much credit for the effort put forth in arranging the music. The Sunday School was under the direction of Miss R. Lott, and some very choice selections were rendered. Mrs. White formed a missionary band of the little folk, giving each a wooden egg in which to solicit. Hazel McVey was awarded first prize, she having raised the largest amount; Clyde Steele second, and Oliver Stevens third. Total amount collected was $7.90. The Sunday School is making rapid improvements. At night a delightful program was rendered. Opening address by Mrs. Mary White.

The Banner received a special this morning from Jamestown, giving an account of the burning of the courthouse of Fentress county, which occurred at an early hour this morning. This is the courthouse made famous by Mark Twain in the "Gilded Age," of which he said the sows and pigs were cleaned out to make ready for the coming of the circuit judge, and on the fence citizens sat and bet which could first spit tobacco juice on bumble bees. James Clemens, father of Mark Twain, lived for some years at Jamestown. Fentress county is located in a remote region of the upper Cumberland country. Besides the interest attached to the courthouse by Mark Twain's reference it is one of the oldest buildings of its character in the state, and many of the prominent judges, including Chancellor Allison of this city, have frequently held court within its historic walls.—Nashville Banner. Not Information to Her. Senator Nelson W. Aldrich was traveling from Providence to his summer place at Warwick a while ago, and as the train was somewhat crowded he sat down beside a bright little girl of about eight years who went to and from school on the line five times a week. She was a pretty blue-eyed, fair-haired little thing and the senator, by way of pleasant conversation, remarked: "What pretty eyes you have." The small damsel looked at him calmly and responded, "So I've been told before." The conversation stopped right there.—New York Times. Japanese Flower Arrangement. The general ideas of Japanese floral arrangements may be summarized in this way: Each setting of flowers or plants must represent earth, air and water, or heaven, earth and man. In placing blossoms in a vase, the vase and water are earth, the short stemmed flowers man, and the tall one heaven. The ramifications of this principle, the delicate subtle meanings and properties, are infinite. There are flowers which represent months and flowers which represent days, and as every Japanese house contains flowers, they form a calendar for the initiated. Every family of standing has artistically correct vases, vase holders and flowers, and the manner of entertaining an honored visitor is to ask him to arrange some flowers. The guest is governed by rigid laws. He must not make too elaborate an arrangement, for that takes overmuch time. He always offers to destroy what he has done, to prove he considers it valueless. Only when he is urged by his host does he leave it—these are examples of the long list of restrictions. The Japanese knows them as he knows his language and his literature.—Harper's Bazar. They Cook Their Shoes. "The wise man takes proper care of his shoes when there is snow on the ground," said a retailer who was asked why a pair of patent leathers bought within a week had lost their shape. "When a man, or woman either, for that matter, who has been walking in the snow gets home with damp shoes almost the first thought is to dry them as quickly as possible. They are put under the stove or on the steam radiator. One customer told me his wife dried his shoes in the oven. This is folly. "If wet shoes are dried too quickly the leather will shrink and rot, no matter how expensive the make. In winter time particularly shoes should be dried slowly and given a rest. If a person has two pairs of shoes and lets one pair stay on the trees when not worn each pair will last at least twice as long." Bogus Diamond for Empress. It is stated by the Pekin Times that among the gifts presented to the Empress of China on her birthday was a "beautiful diamond" from a high officer. It was examined by the empress experts and turned out to be a piece of cut glass. A Left-Handed Emergency. Innocent Bystander-That woman doesn't look as if she needed a doctor. Doctor-S'h: I need patients Doctor—S'h: I need patients. HAD A FELLOW FEELING. Grafter Ready with Offer of Aid to 'Busted" Sport. Hard luck had persistently followed him. The little ivory ball would not drop on the right number; if he bet on black, red was sure to turn up, and vice versa. He sauntered over to the faro table and invested his remaining $5 only to see it go the way of his other bills. When he left the gambling place at midnight, he had just two nickels in his possession. On his way to the trolley car, at Third avenue and Forty-second street, he passed the Grand Centrai station. Just outside the main entrance stood a well-dressed young man, who accosted the "busted" sport with: "Say, friend, I'm up against it. Been down here seeing the sights and went broke. I need ten cents more to pay my fare back to Nyack. Can you stake me?" With a pitying smile, the sport drew forth his two remaining nickels. "That's all I have," he said. "I've been up against it, too. If I give you this ten cents, I'll have to foot it home." The well-dressed man chuckled. "Is this on the level?" he asked. "Surest thing you know," replied the sport. "Well, say, I'll lend you a half if you want it. The graft has been good tonight," and the well-dressed young man hauled out a handful of coins, selected two quarters from the assortment, and proffered them to the sport. New York Press. IN PRAISE OF ABSTINENCE. Woman's Witty Remark Deserved to Have Made a Convert. "The most brilliant woman in Rome," said a cosmopolitan, "is the Marquise de Monstiers-Merinville. She is the daughter of the late W. S. Caldwell of Kentucky. "The Marquise de Monstiers-Merinville, besides being brilliant, is of a religious, spiritual turn of mind. She hates all manner of excess, and especially she hates excess in drinking. "A young English baronet attempted at dinner one evening to quiz Mme. de Monstiers-Merinville a little on her rigid and Puritanical ideas. Lifting up a glass of crisp champagne, he said: "What harm madam, can ensue from a drink so beautiful and clean?" "Much harm,' replied the marquise gravely. 'Ah, no,' said the Englishman. 'Wine is good. It is a tonic. It makes blood. It makes you fat.' "I have seen it make you lean,' said the marquise, and, as the Englishman, puzzled, looked at her with elevated brows, she smiled, and added: "On your stick.'" Has No Corner. "The old fallacy that every man in Boston is simply saturated with learning no longer bothers my mind," said an agent for a Massachusetts firm the other day. "I receive each week two or three dozen letters from the home office and they are written by five or six different men—heads of different executive departments. Now, I also get letters from all parts of the West, but in the Boston letters I find more bad grammar, more miserable rhetoric and more misspelled words in ten letters than I do in 100 written by Western people of the same standard of general intelligence. You don't want to think the Hub has a corner on education." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. AN AMBUSCADE. Danger in Kissing Your Wife If You Do It at the Wrong Time. "You must have ben trying to eat a buzzsaw in motion," said the friend to the man who hasn't been married long. "Not as bad as that, but nearly," he responded, as he tenderly rubbed the scars that adorned his mouth and chin. "Been seeing how far you could slide on your face?" asked the friend, anxiously. "No. Say! For heaven's sake, if you will say nothing to anyone I'll tell you how it happened. You know my wife and I have been married just long enough to have most of the gloss rubbed off from the honeymoon? In fact, have arrived at that point where we take things as a matter of course, and realize that there are others in this world as well as ourselves. "Well, the other morning it suddenly dawned upon me that I hadn't kissed her for a whole week, and my conscience smote me. Even now, I told myself, she may be crying her eyes out, under the impression that I love her no longer. I remembered how we had promised each other during our honeymon that our married life would be one long, sweet dream, with the honeymoon as a basis. I chided myself for my indifference and determined to make amends at once. "Well, I looked my wife up and found her in her room doing up her hair before a mirror. Stepping quickly forward, with all the ardor of my courtship days I threw my arm about her and planted a kiss upon her lips. At least such was my intention; but instead, I ran my mouth into a bristling array of hairpins that she had stuck between her lips. If there were any doubts before about the honeymon being over, there was none when the lady got her mouth free of hairpins and said what she had to say on the subject. "The next time I kiss my wife I am going to reconnoiter the field in force before attacking."—Detroit Free Press. Strange Charitable Bequest. Many persons who wish to bestow charity have strange ways of carrying out their ideas. Some years ago an Englishman named James Moss left $500 to be invested in land, the rent of which was to provide five gowns, according to the will, "of a sad blue color" for as many aged and poor men living in the town. The Main Thing. "A village client of mine had been trying through me for seven years to collect a claim against the government," said the lawyer, "and at last the claim was allowed and I received a check for $8,000. "As the man was poor I knew that this would be a great windfall for him and it was with considerable exultation that I put the check in my pocket and started for the house. The man himself was away somewhere, but as his wife answered my knock I showed her the check and called out: "'At last, Mrs. Davis—at last!' "'What is it?' she asked. "'The claim has been allowed and here is a check for $8,000.' "'Yes, I see,' she answered, 'but please don't talk quite so loud or you will wake the baby up!'" 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.

A great step toward the success of her efforts has been accomplished recently, for she has been appointed by the Bengal government as legal adviser to Purdah women in the administration of her estates. 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 complained. He promised to have the matter looked into at once. A week passed with no noticeable improvement, 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. Finally the proprietor turned, with his affable smile and lisp, and remarked: "Was it that bad, weally? Well, am glad I took tea."

"You may have wondered, perhaps, how the slang expression, 'so long, came to be so generally used,' said a Columbia college lecturer the other day. "It is usually used in closing a conversation, and is simply a form of good-by. The Norwegians brought it to this country. In that land of the midnight sun, 'saa laeng' is a common form of farewell.

Prof. Finsen's death recalls a curious fact about his discovery of the remedial value of light. In one respect it was a striking example of the scientific return to a superstitious practice. His researches led to his theoretical conclusion that red light would reduce suffering in smallpox and prevent permanent marking of the skin. Experiment has confirmed his theory. But the curious thing is that mediaeval doctors prescribed for smallpox and fever patients seclusion in rooms hung with scarlet cloths and in books little more than a decade old this treatment is ridiculed as an example of the quackery from which modern medicine has delivered mankind. In Peace and War. There is a direct connection between Port Arthur and a peaceful little village in Devonshire, England. Half a century ago the rector at Atherington was the Rev. James Arthur, the father of Lieut. W. Arthur of the royal navy. Lieut. Arthur was, about 1859, sent in command of the gunboat Algerine into Chinese waters. The Algerine was attached to a surveying expedition prior to the landing made by the English and French in 1860. When the flagship Acteon was disabled Lieut. Arthur towed her into the then unnamed harbor, which was therefore known as Port Arthur. Mr. and Mrs D. W. Lacy Proprietors. MECCA CAFE and CHILLI PARLOR. For ladies and gentlemen.

Prisoner In the Hands of the Enemies of Her Country Her Quick Wit Found a Way to Baffle the Designs of Her Captors. James Baker, the well-known traveler and writer, tells a curious story of a year 100 years ago. The Persian shah was besieging Tiflis and the husband of the Princess Salome had been slain in the siege. When the Persians entered and sacked the town Salome tried to save her young son, but he was torn from her arms and hacked to pieces before her eyes. Her own life was spared and she was borne to the camp outside the walls of Tiflis to the shah. He sold her to Djafar Bek, who shut her up in a castle—a part of which still remains—near where is now the lovely tropical botanical garden of Tiflis. Charmed by her beauty, he asked her to become his wife. She refused, and begged her purchaser to slay her. The Persian gave her a night to reconsider the matter and on the next day he lay reclining on a great cushion under a tree on that hot, sunny hillside and awaited her answer. Presently she appeared before him, velled in a long, pure white robe, calm and stately, her face deathly pale. She advanced, her armed jailers following her. The Persian waved his followers aside and asked the princess: "You consent to be my wife?" "Yes," was the solemn answer. "I consent to love you, for after the death of my husband and son it is my destiny; there is no other fate for me. "In Georgia," said the princess, "there are certain families that possess strange powers and dark secrets. My mother foretold I should be the wife of a Djafar, and from my mother I, too, receive these powers to read the future." The Persian was impressed by her manner and her presence. She saw her power. "Give me your hand," she said. "Let me read there if I shall have long years of happiness with you." He held forth his hand. She held it until it slightly trembled in her fingers. Then she burst forth with a cry of horror. "Oh, my master, knowest thou that death awaits thee? Perchance this very night." Djafar Bek trembled now. "Thou wilt die by the hand of a man thou hast this day offended." "Is it by Assa Dhoulla Bek." he asked. "We quarreled to-day, and about you. He would have bought you." "Oh, my master," exclaimed Salome, "to save thee I must have some object upon which he has looked to-day, then I can avert this evil and make his arms useless against thee." "What! You can do this?" exclaimed Djafar, incredulously. "Most certainly. Give me your dagger." He drew it and handed it to her. She held it up and, looking up to the blue heavens above, murmured a prayer; then, handing it back to him, said: "Now It is useless; it can slay no one." He looked at her unbelievingly. "Try it," she exclaimed. "Strike here!" He struck the blow where her finger rested full upon her heart; the keen blade went swiftly home and she fell at his feet, exclaiming, "O God, receive my soul!" Then she lay dead.

Two Good Stories That Come From the Emerald Isle. In his "Reminiscences of an Irish Land Agent," the author, "Sam" Hussey, tells of one of the earliest private carriages used in Kerry. "The vehicle in question had just been purchased by a certain Miss Mullins, who regarded it on its arrival with almost sacred awe. A dance in the neighborhood seemed an appropriate oppor- tunity for impressing the county with her newly acquired grandeur, but the night proving wet, she insisted on reverting to a former mode of progression and rode pillion behind her coachman. The result was that she caught a violent chill, which turned to pneumonia. When her relatives were assembled round her deathbed, the old lady exclaimed, between her last gasps for breath: 'Thank God I never took out the carriage that wet night.' Another tale goes back to the year 1815, when Napoleon escaped from Elba. Mr. Hussey says: "In Kerry the farmers had been an extra long time fattening up their pigs. After the peace that followed Napoleon's defeat and exile prices all fell and though the farmers were reluctant they had to yield to circumstances. One day the dealers were buying at extremely low rates in Tralee market, when the postman brought the news that Napoleon had escaped from Elba. Instantly all the farmers broke off their bargains and proceeded to start homeward with their swine, shouting: 'Hurrah for Boney that rose the pigs!'" Pulled Off Santa's Mask. It was a stalwart Irish woman, aggrieved and aggressive, that recently entered the office of a man of law in the Reaper block in quest of redress. "He got the fright of his life, me little boy did," she said. "You see, sir, I was just takin' him through the store, when we kem across one of them fool Santy Clauses, dhressed in red, with a big white beard, an' the innocent child—he's only two years last fall—asked me to lift him up til he'd see Santy. Whin I lifted him he grabbed the white whiskers and pulled, an' whiskers an' false face an' all came off, an' whin the poor child saw the man's own face, as cross an' ugly as the divil, he had a regular fit. Now, I think thin store people should have made their fool Santys stick on their false faces and whiskers tight and sthrong with tacks or glue or something, so as not to be drivin' innocent childher into convulsions, an' I think I ought to get damages." The lawyer pondered for a few moments, "I think, ma'am," he said, "it's a case of damnum absque injuria." "That's what I towld them, sir," emphatically declared the visitor; "yes, and I said a great deal worse than that to them!"—Chicago Inter Ocean. How Shaw Writes His Plays. Sir Charles Wyndham recently told an interviewer of his first meeting with George Bernard Shaw. "In those days," he says, "Shaw would not have a bit of linen about him. He wore soft shirts and long, flowing ties, which, with his tawny hair and long, red beard, gave him the appearance of a veritable viking. Well, he came in and sat down at the table. Then he put his hand into his right trousers pocket and slowly drew out a small pocket memorandum book; then he dug into the left side pocket and THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. brought out another. I waited. He thrust his hand into a coat pocket and fished out another of the little books, then still another and another. Finally he paused in his explorations, looked over at me and said: 'I suppose you're surprised to see all these little pocket books. The fact is, however, I write my plays in them while riding around London on top of a bus.'" For every suffering of sense For sadder mental impotence, There is a certain recompense In work. When Penury would Vision kill, 'Mid lassitude of flesh or will, O keep this slogan ringing still, To work. There lurks no conjury of Fate, No spider-web of human hate, But thou canst shatter—only wait And work. Thine enemies are all within— Deliverance must there begin— Arouse thee, Soul, and thou shalt win By work. Thy triumph, from its final height, May cheer some comrade in his fight. Dispel his shadow—with the light Of work. —Ernest Neal Lyon in Pittsburg Chronicle. Why He Wanted Time. Four year old Freddie had a visit the other day from his five year old cousin Walter, and the two small boys were playing marbles in Freddie's yard, when Freddie's mother called him to go to bed. The little fellow begged for just a minute more, and several times it was granted. Finally his mother become insistent, and the small boy came to her holding out a bag full of marbles. "Mother," he said, "if you will give me only a minute or two more I'll send him home busted, and you can have half the marbles." Ancient Forks. A London jeweler has made a collection of ancient forks used in England, which show some little known facts about the table manners of a few centuries ago. The forks, which are of solid silver, date from the sixteenth century. In many cases the designs in all this time have scarcely varied in any detail, and the forks look like those which might be bought to-day. The old forks were a great luxury in their time and were only used by the aristocracy. --- No Trouble About Prayers. "Mother," cried six-year-old Frank, eagerly, "I want Jack here to stay all night, so we can get our sleds out early." "No, Frank; nurse wouldn't stay, if she had the trouble of taking care of another boy," replied the parent. "I don't see what trouble Jack would be," grumbled Frank. "He washes and dresses himself, and he doesn't say any prayers." Street Car Manners. A couple of gaudily dressed women of most ordinary type are seated in a cable car, indifferent to everything but themselves one of the pair holding her umbrelia planted firmly across the passageway. The conductor, in response to a signal from the motorman hastens to the front door, to be pitched head-first over the obstructing medium, as the unconcerned cause of the accident turns to her companion with a scornful toss of her head.

A recently published report of exConsul General McWade of Canton, China, gives some interesting details of the industrial conditions of China and, incidentally, of the labor union system of that country. The laborers work long hours and their meals are supplied by the employer. Their food consists of rice, partaken of twice a day, with now and then a few vegetables or pieces of salt fish or pork as a relish. Tea is also furnished to them in unlimited quantities. They begin work as soon as daylight appears and continue until between 8 and 9 o'clock at night, the recent introduction of kerosene oil lengthening their hours of labor. The workman eats and sleeps in the shop where he is employed. Not only do the male workers have a trades union or guild of their own, but so also have the employers. To these guilds are referred all disputed questions of labor and food, which, as a rule, are amicably settled. The operatives seem to take it for granted that their employers can properly claim every moment of their time from early morning until night, unless about thirty minutes set apart for each meal of rice and vegetables be excepted. When the two guilds fail to arrive at a satisfactory settlement of a dispute the employers simply close up the shops. Contented Man Sizes Himself Up. "Not that I'm any walking physical culture-did-it advertisement," mused the man before the mirror, "but I'm not as bad as I might be at that. "For example, I'm not so thin that my shirt studs make my coat stick out in the back, and I'm not so fat that I have to climb a mountain every time I want to take my shoes off. "What's more, I'm not so tall that my soup gets cold before it reaches my stomach, while, on the other hand, I'm not so short that when I slip I don't notice the fall. "Another thing I've got to be thankful for. I'm not so narrow shouldered that people have to look at my hands to tell which is my right arm and which is my left. "That must be as bad as being so knock-kneed that crimson ramblers take you for a trellis and try to grow up you. "But best of all, to my mind, is the fact that I'm not so bow-legged that the rush hour crowd ever clamor about my feet under the annoying impression that I am the subway." Treatment of Dog Bites.

Through the columns of THE STATESMAN sometime ago, we called our people's attention to the fact that this is the time to take advantage of the low price of real estate, and that many landlords were refusing to rent houses to our people. We are pleased to note that the warning had the desired effect. Those who have signed the honor roll are as follows: J. H. Martin bought one block on the out skirts of the city, which he will soon platt off into city lots; Green Watson the jailer, bought two lots on which he expects to build in the near future; Mrs Mam'e Houston one lot, Mrs. Henry Harrison one lot, P. Broddy four lots, H. Bramlett one lot, the Afro-American League two lots. We are pleased THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. to say that we believe many others will soon add their names to this progressive roll. NORTH ENID. OKLA Mrs. Minnie G.

Bee farming has become a popular and profitable occupation in many parts of the Australian continent. The first "hive" bees were brought to Australia in 1822. At the present time there are over 250,000 hives in Australia, and the production of honey varies from 10,000,000 to 15,000 pounds annually. Camphor Barometers. If the camphor bottle becomes rolly it is going to storm. When it clears settled weather may be expected. This idea has seemingly been utilized in the manufacture of some of our cheap barometers.

Prizes in Life's Struggle Won Only by Those Who Refuse to Accept Defeat—Failure Nothing but a Test of Manhood. After 12,000 of Napoleon's soldiers had been overwhelmed by the advance of 75,000 Austrian troops, he addressed them thus: "I am displeased with you. You have evinced neither discipline nor valor. You have allowed yourselves to be driven from positions where a handful of resolute men might have arrested an army. You are no longer French soldiers. Chief of staff, cause it to be written on their standards, 'They are no longer of the army of Italy.'" In tears the battered veterans replied: "We have been misrepresented. The soldiers of the enemy were three to one. Try us once more. Place us in the post of danger and see if we do not belong to the army of Italy." In the next battle they were placed in the van, and they made good their pledge by rolling back the great Austrian army. He is a pretty poor sort of man who loses courage and fears to face the world just because he has made a mistake or a slip somewhere, because his business has failed, because his property has been swept away by some general disaster, or because of other trouble impossible for him to avert.

If you lie down now, throw up your hands, and acknowledge yourself worsted, there is not much in you. But if, with heart undaunted and face turned forward, you refuse to give up or to lose faith in yourself, if you scorn to beat a retreat, you will show that the man left in you is bigger than your loss, greater than your cross, and larger than any defeat. "I know no such unquestionable badge and ensign of a sovereign mind," said Emerson, "as that tenacity of purpose which, through all changes of companions, or parties, or fortunes, changes never, bates no jet of heart or hope, but wearies out opposition and arrives at its port." It is men like Ulysses S. Grant, who, whether in the conflict of opposing armies on the battlefield, or in the wear and tear of civic strife, fighting against reverses, battling for a competence for his loved ones, even while the hand of death lay chill upon him, "bates no jot of heart or hope," that wring victory from the most forbidding circumstances. It is men like Napoleon, who refuse to recognize defeat, who declare that "impossible" is not in their vocabularies, that accomplish things.—Orison Swett Marden in Success. Land at the North Pole. From the known set of the currents in the Arctic ocean and from observations of the tides, R. A.

Harduin in Le Matin to ask whether the precious stone represents new capital—that is, a new source of wealth. "The only real capital," he says, "is that which gives birth to new wealth directly to the profit of its owner and indirectly to the profit of the community. This is what will happen: When the company owning the diamond sells it it will receive money. This money it will invest and lay by the interest. But since the purchaser, who has parted with $2,500,000, will lay by nothing, it will come to the same thing. The whole operation, therefore, is reduced to a simple shifting of capital. "This conclusion follows: Billions of dollars' worth of diamonds may be dug out of the earth and the wealth of the whole human race will not be increased by a single cent, for this capital does not really exist. And as nothing is gained in the way of means of production, so nothing is gained for the general well-being. This is not so when iron or other metals or coal is dug from the earth. Far truer is it that the peasant who digs potatoes does far more for the welfare of mankind than the man who discovers a diamond." WANTED TO HELP HIM OUT. Believer in Health Fad Victim of Humiliating Mistake. A certain man well known in local real estate circles recently became a convert of the physical culture craze, in addition to certain prescribed exercises, he was made to believe that the wearing of an overcoat was merely a matter of habit and that any healthy being should be ashamed to be seen with one on. His three overcoats (one of them a handsome furlined garment) were therefore laid aside, and much to his surprise he experienced no inconvenience. One morning, as he sallied forth, he made a mental note of the fact that the mercury was exceedingly low, while a light snow was falling. Nothing daunted, however, he walked briskly on. As he was crossing a small street a short distance from his place of business, he was suddenly accosted by a rather seedy-looking individual, who, with a glance, eyed him from head to foot and then, with the air of a confidence man, exclaimed: "Say, pard, do you want to buy a pawn ticket for a good overcoat?"— Philadelphia Ledger. Vanderbilt's Lesson to Rutter. Vanderbilt's Lesson to Rutter. A story is told of James H. Rutter of the New York Central railroad. who began his career as clerk for the Erie railroad, giving such exceptional service that he was promoted rapidly. Vanderbilt offered him $15,000 a year to go over to the New York Central road as general manager; he accepted the position. It was a place of great responsibility and often Rutter was perplexed as to just what course he should take. On one of these occasions he called upon Vanderbilt and laid the matter before him. Vanderbilt demanded: "What does the New York Central pay you $15,000 a year for?" "To manage the freight business," replied Rutter. "Then manage it," was the gist of Vanderbilt's answer. Rutter went back to his office and worked out the problem; and he never asked again for help in matters pertaining to his own position. Sugar as a History Maker. Sugar has made etchings on the history of Europe and of the world in more ways than one. Used four centuries ago almost exclusively in the preparations of medicines, and long afterwards as an article of luxury, accessible only to the rich, an enlarged production and cheapened manufacture have brought it within the reach of all. The universal use of this practically pure carbohydrate, which is not only a freely burning fuel but a muscle food, increasing the power for doing work and lessening fatigue, must have had widespread and beneficial effects on the health of civilized nations.
