Ford will officiate at the laying of a corner stone in Pueblo tomorrow. Mrs. Fred Thompson, who died week before last was taken to Arkansas for burial Sunday. Miss Helen McGee and Mrs. Boyd Osbourne go to Cripple Creek tomorrow for a short stay. J. D. Rivers gave his annual picnic at Rocky Mountain Lake Thursday, and received a large patronage. Mrs. Hicks, Miss Barber and the Misses Russell, teachers from St. Louis, are stopping with Mrs. Albert Robinson. Miss Beatrice Boyer returned to Coaldale Thursday after spending several months in the city. R. G. Holley will direct the orchestra for the concert and dance at the Grand Emancipation Celebration and Barbecue, at Rocky Mountain Lake Aug. 4th. Misses Eleanor Booth and Hazel Hart, teachers in the Indianapolis' schools, are visiting in the city. Miss Nellie Banks of Kansas City, who has been in the city for the past two weeks, left last night for the coast. DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1905 Excursions from Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Florence and Boulder will be run here for the grand Emancipation Celebration at Rocky Mountain Lake, Aug. 4th. Rev. Dyett united in marriage Tuesday morning O T. Jackson of Boulder and Miss Minerva Matlock of Kansas City. It was a simple cere mony witnessed by only the immediate friends Misses Watts and Kennedy, teachers from Kansas City: left Wednesday for the Springs, where they will visit with Prof. and Mrs. Jackson before proceeding to the coast. Miss Edna Buchanan was united in marriage to Augustus Warde and Miss Esther Buchanan to Edward Rice by Rev. Dyett. They are making their home at 2148 Curtis St. A jolly crowd of people assembled at city park Thursday afternoon at the invitation of Mrs. F. M. Lenza, Misses Sallie Harris, Ella Crowe and Lilly Overstreet. The park afforded ample amusement during the day and at night. Just as evening was coming on the hostesses spread such a lunch as one only hears about, and the whole day was given the master touch that comes from appreciation of good cooking. It was one of those delightfully informal affairs that derive their pleasure from the happy choice of guests and the method of entertainment. Mrs. Bohanan entertained informally last evening in honor of her guests, who take their departure the first of the week. The change of administration in the county offices brought the discharge of W. J. Baker and H. F. Smith from the court house and A. J. Riley. Fred Armstrong and H. Watts were appointed. Riley declined the appointment. The coaching party given by Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Clark to Sand Creek, complimentary to their guests, Mrs. Rogers of Detroit and Mrs. Scott of Omaha, was a swell affair. About thirty gentle folk hied themselves away to the country and made time fly with all kinds of merriment. Music and dancing with a toothsome spread at the close were enough to make every one happy to say nothing of the fun on the road. Mrs. A. Froman gave a reception in honor of Mrs. Phillips, wife of the senior bishop of the C. M. E. Church, Wednesday afternoon. It was a social triumph for the hostess for many reasons. The guest of honor who by the way is a childhood friend is a distinguished lady, one whose charm adds much to any social gathering. The house decorations were superb and the accommodations for the guests were a joy; and what means most of all, there was a general outpouring of the ladies who lend character to our society. The costumes were elaborate—too much so for more than general comment. Bishop and Mrs. Phillips will be residents of Denver pending the recovery of his health but they will hardly have a better impression of our city than they must have received from this reception. A benefit entertainment will be given at Zion Baptist Church, Thursday evening, July 20. A good program will be rendered. Addresses by Mrs. Gregory, Secretary of the Juvenile Court. FOR RENT-A nice front room suitable for two gentlemen, at 1834 Penn. Ave. Mrs. Dean. Newest and freshest drugs, quick service and at reasonable prices. Prescriptions filled at all hours.

Everything in that line. James Hullinger & Co., 23rd and Larimer Sts. WISE MAN OF GOTHAM SAYS. A man is apt to miss the opportunities he has missed. Weather predictions, like dreams, sometimes go by contraries. A good many of us find fault with Fate for treating us as we deserve. If the good old times could come back they might spoil their fine reputations. Would that we could say truthfully that the mosquito's buzz is worse than its bite. Discontent is useless except when it can devise a plan to end its own existence. Characteristic Portraiture. A young man in a neighboring town started in the livery business a few weeks ago, and the first thing he did was to have a sign painted representing himself holding a mule by the bridle. He was particularly proud of this stroke of business enterprise, and asked of his wife: "Is that not a good likeness of me?" "Yes," she replied, "it is a perfect picture of you; but who is the fellow holding the bridle?" r. --- NO.52 WIRES NOT NEEDED INDIAN'S HAVE OWN METHOD OF SPREADING NEWS. Speedy Communication Between Scattered Points Is a Marvel to Whites Creek Chief Tells of Instances In Point. The rapidity with which the news of orders given out from the union Indian agency and the Dawes commission spreads to the remotest corners of the Creek nation is a continual source of wonder to the federal officials. When, in October, the regulation compelling Indians to accept the pay for their land in installments of $10 a month was announced it seemed that every Indian in the Creek country knew it at once, for the petitions for sale dropped off immediately. A few days ago, when the order was revoked and the Indian was allowed to pay for his land at the rate of $50 a month, practically everybody knew it the next day and business in the Creek land sales department suddenly became lively again. When it is remembered that there are several thousand full-blood Indians in the Creek nation who can not speak or read a word of English and have no way of learning the news of the day except by word of mouth, the speed with which intelligence is communicated to them is most remarkable. Most of the full-bloods live in the hils and mountains, far from railroads and in sections where daily or even weekly papers are seldom or never read. Generai Pleasant Porter, chief of the Creek nation and the best informed man in his tribe, when asked to explain the phenomenon, said significantly: "It may be mental telepathy. Let me ask you a question. How does the buzzard flying through the air learn that an animal has been killed and why are there hundreds of them on the scene in less time than it takes to tell about it? You may call it instinct, or anything else you please, but the Indians keep as well posted on news that interests them as the newspaper-reading white people. "My people have formed the habit of communicating whatever interests them to their neighbors and asking them to pass it on. Every train that leaves Muskogee is loaded with Indians who know personally of an order. They pass the word along and it spreads like wildfire. In the early days the Creeks had regular couriers who carried the news. One of these would visit a town and at sundown the people would gather around him and hear the information he had to impart. The town king would then detail some one to pass it on to the members of the next town or tribe and the same method would be repeated. "I have known," said the chief, growing reminiscent, "of foot carirers traveling 100 miles a day with important messages. One morning during the Creek rebellion I sent a messenger out to get volunteers for my army and before the sun set 1,200 men came into my camp. "Warriors had a way of announcing the approach of an enemy by giving warwhoops. If the yells followed closely one after another the enemy was near. One prolonged whoop indicated that the enemy was many miles distant, with no danger of immediate attack."—Kansas City Journal. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. So many accounts have been printed of Gen. Wallace's reason for writing "Ben-Hur" that it may be well to state here, with the authority of his own word, that in a conversation with Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, whom he met on a railway journey in Indiana, Gen. Wallace was so astounded by the boldness of the infidel's attacks on religion that he at once undertook to investigate the Christian claims for himself, beginning with the Bible and carrying his reading through all accessible authorities. His own mind was cleared of doubts, and he presently wrote a short story describing the meeting of the Wise Men, with no purpose other than to offer it as a sketch for a Christmas number of a magazine. But the subject grew upon him, and the opportunities for a larger treatment of the theme led him to plan the romance on which his literary reputation largely rests.—Meredith Nicholson's Sketch of Lew Wallace in the Reader Magazine. Colorado's Wealthiest Citizen. David Moffatt, of Denver, is the wealthiest man in Colorado, which outranks all other states in per capita wealth. Colorado has the further distinction that most of its vast fortunes were made within its boundaries, not alone in mining, but in the cattle industry, in realty, speculation, in fruit, sugar beet culture, potato farming, and in manufacturing and other mercantile pursuit. There are 108 resident millionaires in Colorado, their total wealth being about $260,000,000. Mr. Moffatt is worth from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000. About 100 men worth seven or more figures made their money in the state and reside elsewhere. CAGGHT IN WRONG BLUFF. Good Idea, but Unfortunately the Cradle Was Empty. A clock in a nearby tower had just tolled off the hour of 4 as he arose unsteadily from the card table, where he had sat for three hours, stretched his weary limbs, bade his comrades good night and started in the direction of his home. After a half-hour's walk in which all the lamp posts and telegraph poles insisted on getting in his way, he arrived at his home, took out his bunch of keys, at last found the elusive keyhole and softly opening the door and discarding his shoes at the foot of the stairs, climbed heavenward on all fours. With catlike footsteps he crept across the threshold of his bedroom and proceeded to undress. He heard his wife move restlessly, which made him hurry, and in doing so he up set a chair. Stepping quickly over to the cradle in the corner, he commenced to rock it violently. "Is that you, John?" came his wife's voice from the bed. "Yes, dear," he replied. "Well, what in the world are you doing?" she asked. "Why, I'm rocking this blamed kid to sleep." "How long have you been there?" "Since 11:30." "Well, John, I think you had better get right into bed, as I have the child in here beside me; and, moreover, I've had him here ever since 11 o'clock last night."—Philadelphia Press.

Mine owners of South Africa, who have been importing coolies from China to work underground, have discovered that there are great differences between the coolies from the south of China and those from the north of China. A very little experience sufficed to show that the men from the northern districts were of better physique and of better knowledge of mining than those who came from the south and the treaty ports. They are seeking now to get their recruits solely from the northern sections of the empire. A woman's idea of a hopeless idiot is a man whom she has loved and lost.

A sheriff wouldn't like to be known by the company he keeps. A man finds it easy to get along after he once starts down hill. A man in love is blind until he finds it necessary to sew on buttons. Any fool can lay plans but it takes a wise man to hatch them out. Suffering loses all its charms for a woman if she has to do it in silence. Truth may be stranger than fiction because there is less of it on the market. The trouble with most handsome girls is they seem to think that is all that's necessary. If a man starts on a journey and forgets to take an umbrella, it's a sure sign of rain. The girl who paints her lips has poor taste—as any young man who kisses her will tell you. It is said that blood will tell, but it never tells half as much as the blood purifier advertisements. It's simply impossible for a man to love his neighbor as himself—if he has a garden and his neighbor has chickens. Some one has said that poets must suffer before they can write. Possibly—and after that the public does most of the suffering. SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY. Every big fire develops a lot of natural-born fire chiefs. It is pretty hard to laugh at the jokes of a "jolly" man. We suppose that children with a stepmother must feel like the incubator chickens. When it comes to paying back a visit there are mighty few women on the deadbeat list. Some railroad managers would rather spend a dollar on a dining car than a dime on the track. Patience is to be applauded always, but, of course, the people who have dealings with you never have occasion to use any. THE World's Fair Route FRISCO SYSTEM OFFERS THE BEST SERVICE POSSIBLE TO ST.

Combination of Dried Apples and Bad Beer Too Much for the Internal Arrangements of the Free Son of the Forest. Tis as old as the story of creation. the tragedy of the apple. It was first made prominent, says the Stanley (Wis.) correspondent of the St. Paul Dispatch, by our early parents in the primeval orchard; it has been frequently noted ever since in various stages of intensity, from the pangs in midanatomy of the small boy, with his first unripe specimen, to the agonies of the drunkard ending a sad career that begun when he first sipped sweet cider. If the apple is the stumbling block to which the human family, as a unit, owes its downfall, can one wonder that this same fruit proved too much for Pete in the railroad camp that day in the early '80s? The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha ran its line northward from Eau Claire to Superior, in Wisconsin, in 1881-1882. The contract for constructing the road was let to the Winston Bros. of St. Paul. They secured for their bookkeeper and manager, N. E. Carver, a homesteader near Chetek, which was at that time almost the extreme northern limit of civilization in the Badger state. Carver had charge of the railroad store, with its stock of provisions, and witnessed many peculiar incidents in connection with his work. Call it tragedy or call it comedy, as you wish, this is the story as he tells it of "Pete and the apple." One day when the line was completed as far north as Spooner there came into the railroad camp from a reservation not far away to the eastward two brawny Chippewa braves, who were recognized immediately by some of the crew, and familiarly accosted as Hank and Pete. They were burly, silent fellows. Uncle Sam had recently given them their quarterly allowance and they were eager to celebrate the arrival of their pensions. Each purchased immediately fifty cents' worth of dried apples. They then cruised around until they discovered a backwoods' "canteen," where the proprietors unscrupulously dispensed a measure of beer to the fellows, regardless of the law which forbids the selling of liquid riot to "Lo, the poor Indian." Eager with glad anticipation, the redmen took a position near the border of the woods, not far from the railroad store. They spread their feast before them on a fallen Norway pine and abandoned themselves to the felicity of the occasion. With an open jackknife in one hand and a battered tin cup in the other, the natives, squatted at opposite sides of the log, alternately harpooned a fragment of dried apple and dipped into the frothy beverage, and continued to eat, drink and be merry. They had apples enough and to spare, and their allowance of drink was ample, so the feast was uninterrupted for a long, delightful season. I remembered them, and from time to time stole forth to watch the progress of the merrymaking. At each repeated visit I found that the eating and drinking continued with unabated in- tensity or interest, and that the epicureans maintained a uniform silence and constant appearance of satisfaction. Then for a while I neglected them. There was a rush of business for several hours, during which time I forgot the banqueters and their banquet. The short afternoon was drawing to a close. I had my day book open before me and was posting the ledger at the close of my afternoon's work. All at once I became aware of the fact that some one stood before me. I raised my eyes. Hank, silent and motionless, was regarding me with a peculiar expression upon his face. "Come," he told me, "Pete." We left the room. It was mysterious. I followed him to the scene of the banquet. On the log where the feast had been spread a few dried apples remained. There were no traces of beverage in view. Beside the log, face downward, lay Pete. Not far away, his knife with an apple upon it, was lying on the ground. I approached the prostrate figure. I knelt beside it—touched it. It was motionless, cold, rigid. Pete was dead. Hank gathered up the remaining bits of fruit and disappeared into the thicket. "Huh, too much dried apple," was all he said. ForFine Tailoring GOOD FIT And Workmanship GO TO B.

Of Ccurse You Want When going to Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Cripple Creek or to Texas, then take the Colorado & Southern. Its not only the Short Line but offers superior service to these points. All rains fast and punctual You cheat yourself every time you have any excuse for falling to do something. You are positively cheated when you resort to any artificial means to sustain you. You cheat yourself when you depend directly upon anything except your own faculties. You cheat yourself when you depend on the priest and do not use your own conscience. You also cheat yourself when you get somebody else to do what you can do and ought to do. No one is substantial until he can face the world wholly on a basis of knowledge, merit and self respect. To that degree that we make believe, pretend or put off on anything else whatever, we cheat ourselves.—L. A. Vaught in Human Culture. MORE OR LESS CYNICAL. Even hero-worshipers are fickle. Fair play doesn't always win fair lady. The quest of happiness requires no search warrant. The gift of gab often results in a man giving himself away. Lots of men are bulls in the stock market and bears at home. It's no fun for a woman to suffer if she how to suffer in silence. When you cast your bread on the water don't tie a stone to it. A woman doesn't like to be flattered because she thinks she needs it. There's no use in trying to be a real bohemian unless you owe money.— New York Times. Freezing politeness is on a par with cold comfort. The most brittle thing in the world is a good resolution. It is quite safe to judge a man by the things he doesn't do. The more we tell our troubles the larger they seem to grow. The difference between a cook and a chef is about $100 a month. It's just as well not to think of trouble until you are up against it. If you would have your affection reciprocated, get stuck on yourself. Have you ever noticed what a lot of second-class people travel first-class? It is well to look on the bright side, but it is better to have a look at both sides. One good turn may deserve another, but this doesn't result in perpetual motion. Among men a wholesome fear of the gun often conduces to slow careful speech. Some men are too busy to make friends and others are too lazy to make enemies. The professional beggar is always looking for decor—but he doesn't spell it the way. There can be no economy, from a woman's point of view, without hash for breakfast once in awhile. The rain falls alike on the just and the unjust, and, furthermore, they both get stuck in the same mud. PHILOSOPHY OF A DYSPEPTIC. Even the devil has little use for a hypocrite. The advantage of love in a cottage is that there is no janitor. Remember that sufficient unto the day is the evil of yesterday. A woman never faints unless there is a man around to catch her. A family tree doesn't always bear the fruits of a man's industry. Lots of excuses are not worth the trouble it takes to make them. There is no such thing as an idle rumor. It is always industrious. Laugh, and life loves you. Thet oily hypocrite is usually a gusher. The flowers of fame are scentless and artificial. Hope is the tonic that is keeping most men alive. The devil can intone Love's litany most effectively. Sweet are the kisses that never touched our lips. Destiny is the world-old peddler, dealing only in dope. Truthful men never have much luck when they go fishing. Love, sprinkled often with salt tears, withers away and dies. They who inherit nest eggs usually break them the first thing. Love is the foundation rock on which most light literature is builted. Little pitchers are bottomless once you start to supplying your neighbors with milk. Some men are good because they are good; others because they are economical. Many a woman reaches her second youth without acknowledging that she is anywhere in the vicinity of her second childhood.—New Orleans Picayune. DEFINITIONS OF A KISS. Cupid's sealing wax. Love's current coin. Two little smacks in collision. The full stop in a lover's dialogue. The seal that stamps many a future. A woman's most effective argument. Woman's passport to her husband's purse. The mutual interchange of microbes. The most popular "smack" on the sea of life. A wireless message from the lips to the heart. A thing of use to no one, but much prized by two. A perfect chord sounded from two harmonious souls. The only really agreeable two-faced action under the sun. The flag of truce in the petty wars of courtship and marriage. A kiss is the thermometer by which we measure the affections. The thunderclap of the lips that follows the lightning of the eyes. Something which, once given, cannot be taken back, but is often returned. ```markdown ``` THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Woman Given Military Funeral. Mrs. Elizabeth Malone, whose father was a life guardsman, and who spent all her sixty-four years with the British army and died after forty years' service as assistant matron of the Royal Military college at Sandhurst, had a military funeral recently. Her body was borne to the grave by staff sergeants and detachments of the life, grenadier, Coldstream, Scots and Irish guards marched in the funeral cortege. WITH THE SAGES. Who is a useless man. He who can neither command nor obey.—Goethe. Make life a ministry of love and it will always be worth living.—Newell Dwight Hillis. A merely fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished.—Schiller. There is no policy like politeness; and a good manner is the best thing in the world to get a good name, or to supply the want of it.—John Clifford. Do not wait for extraordinary opportunities for good actions, but make use of common situations. A long-continued walk is better than a short flight.—Goethe. There is much satisfaction and happiness in all labor that is honest and true. Few things bring greater contentment; few things give more peace of mind.—John Bright. Recklessness is want of faithfulness in the small things through which alone a man is enabled to form correct estimates and come to correct conclusions.—Hugh Black. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. Everybody has a hankering to teach others what he doesn't know himself. It's awful nice of a girl to treat a man so well that she won't even marry him. There is absolutely no satisfaction in doing something smart if there is nobody for you to brag to about it. The average man's idea of a joke is something over which he splits his side when he is planning it and nobody cracks a smile when he does it. The way to make your wife have confidence in you is to tell her that the other woman is rather pretty except for her hair, eyes, mouth, teeth, nose, complexion and figure.—New York Press. IDEAS IN MATCHING SKADES. Some People Pick Them Out So as to Avoid Them. Before trying to match the sample of silk the clerk asked: "Is this a piece of something you want, or something you don't want?" "Something I want, of course," replied the customer with asperity. "You don't suppose, do you, that I would go to all this trouble for a thing I can't use?" "Some folks do," said the clerk. "I've met a number of them. The first woman I ever saw with that kind of a bee in her bonnet had a square inch of blue silk that she wanted me ```markdown ``` THE WESTERN COLLEGE The oldest Christian institution in the West.

The scrap of silk was so small that it was hard to make comparisons, but after hauling down half the blue bolts on the shelves and running to the door several times to test the color in broad daylight, I found the exact shade. "'How many yards do you want, madam?" I asked. "'Oh,' said the woman, 'I don't want any. Almost any other piece will do. That particular shade is very unbecoming. I just wanted to make sure that I don't get it, that's all.'" The customer laughed. "What did you say?" she asked. "I'd rather not tell," said the clerk. "Anyhow, since then I have been cautious. Before matching a sample now I inquire as politely as possible into a customer's intentions. If it's a case of 'Don't want' I don't hurt myself matching the shade." WHY RACES WERE DELAYED.

He believes that, with ordinary care and caution, accidents might be altogether eliminated He said the other day: "It is a shame that horrible fatalities so often occur in automobiling. It is a shame that, at motor races, it is possible to hear what I heard not long since. "An important race was to be run, but at the hour of starting there was some delay. The people became impatient over this delay. A man in a brown ponyskin coat accosted one of the officials, and I heard him say: "'The race was scheduled for 2, and here it is almost 3. What is the trouble? Why all this waiting?' "The official answered politely: "'The ambulance surgeons, sir, have not yet arrived.'" Nothing seems to please a girl more than her ability to win the man of another girl's choice. If one woman wants to say something mean of another she refers to her as "that woman." --- Personal Briefs. Who They Are, What They Are and Where They Are.

Dr. Faulkner, who is the manager had personal acquaintance with a large number of them which went far toward making them entirely at home, but to all alike this popular new enterprise was a God-send. Drugs, telephone, messenger service and many things which need not be mentioned were at their disposal. So it is that our private business ventures serve to fill a place in the community which redounds to the benefit of all. A prize drill by companies from Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver for the State Cup will be at the grand Emancipation Celebration and Barbecue, at Rocky Mountain Lake, Aug. 4th. The last of the Epworth Leaguers are gone. During their stay here they were made the recipients of every attention which our hospitable citizens could shower upon them. The first of the public affairs in their honor was a reception given by the young people of Zion and Shorter Churches at which a number of prominent visitors spoke, and general hospitality was dispensed in the way of refreshments A general social time took up the latter part of the evening during which everybody met the visitors. Monday the same class of entertainment was provided under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor of Shorter Church. At both these receptions and at the various meetings held, one of the best taking features of the program was a jubilee quintet from Baltimore called the Morgan College Princess Anne Quintet, of which R.A. Marsden is manager. Last Sunday afternoon the People's Sunday Alliance held a giant meeting in the People's Tabernacle, at which addresses on subjects of vital interest to the colored people throughout the country were discussed. The attendance was up to the highest hopes and the speakers were inspired. The newly elec'd president of the Alliance, B. W. Fields introduced Rev. Douglas, who acted as chairman. Services at churches Sunday were of the kind that interest all, saint and sinner alike. Among the speakers were some of the brightest minds that have ever been in our city, and they sounded the depths of religious truth and soared to the heights of moral perfection. The churches were all filled to their utmost seating capacity at every service. Tuesday night at the home of Mrs. Irving Williams, Mrs. Charles Henry Phillips was magnificently entertained by the Women's Clubs of this city. Mrs. Phillips is a club woman of much prominence being at one time vice president of the National Association of Colored women. She is at present honorary president of the Tennessee W. C. T. U.; president of the Normal Alumni Association of Fisk University, vice president of the John C. Martin Bible Institute. She has traveled and lectured extensively throughout the country, and her address Sunday afternoon at the People's Tabernacle and Tuesday night at the reception proved her to be a woman of exceptional ability. She is the wife of Bishop Charles Phillips of the Colored Methodist Church, the only colored bishop in attendance to the Epworth League Convention. Mrs. Phillips, accompanied by her husband left Thursday for Colorado Springs where they will spend the remainder of the summer. The Bishop and Mrs. Phillips were highly pleased with their visit in Denver as was their eldest son, Charles Henry Philips, Jr., of Chicago, who has been visiting the Epworth League. Young Phillips was one of the principal speakers at the reception at Shorter Church Monday night given by the Endeavors. Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Wade entertained at dinner Thursday in honor of Bishop and Mrs. C. H. Phillips and son, Chas Henry and Miss Georgis Nugent of Louisville, Ky. Others at the table were, Rev. and Mrs. Dyett, Miss Hattie May Williams, Mrs. Johnson and Lawyer J. H. Stuart.

In a recent report by the Belgian consul at Calcutta it is stated that there is a steady demand for motor cars in that city, and it is added that it is probable a large business will be done in these cars in the near future. The essential qualities for the Indian market are cheapness and quiet running. As the country is extremely dusty, chainless cars are preferred. The motive power should be petroleum, which is easily obtainable on journeys.—London Engineer. Had to Take the Dogs. "Going to the cattle show to buy sheep, eh?" queried the minister of an agricultural member of his chapel, whom he met on the station platform surrounded by half a dozen of his sheep dogs. "Oh, dear, no, sir," replied the farmer, "I'm taking my youngsters for a day in the city. There are thirteen of 'em, so I am bound to take the dogs, too, to keep 'em from strayin'." Seek to Deceive Gods. In cases of drought it is custom ary in China to organize processions to the temples, everybody going bareheaded. If they meet any one in a covered chair or carrying a sunshade, they destroy the chair and the shade, in the belief that the gods will be merciful and grant relief sooner if everybody is suffering from the heat. A Bath-house Mistake. Around Stockholm there are many suburban resorts where sea bathing is indulged in when the weather is warm enough. At one of these resorts a visitor observed a large signboard at a gateway, reading "Dam Bad Haus." This notice gave him quite a shock, until he found out it meant "Ladies' Bath-house."—St. James Gazette. Statute of Limitation for Murder. There is no punishment in France if the murderer is not discovered and brought to trial within fifteen years. Arnold Weber, who committed a murder in Paris twenty-five years ago, has just written defiantly to the police confessing the crime and saying he is about to return to Paris. She never lets herself moan over the past, nor worry about the future that makes the best of the present and reeps sweet and cheerful.—Philadelphia Bulletin. Denver Professionals The Statesman takes pleasure in introducing the following colored professionals and recommends them as competent in their lines. Show yourself a race lover by patronizing them. Be a booster. WITH A TANG. Lots of people are religious because it doesn't cost anything. The deepest grave won't always hide a family skeleton. An expert is a person who knows a lot about things in which we are not at all interested. There are men who wouldn't make much of an impression even by fall into a mortar bed. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR A girl is good-looking every time she takes a peep at herself in the mirror. There are no words in any language that can describe a man's religion when the water pipes burst. A woman gets as much fun out of hearing music that she doesn't understand as a man does playing pool for the drinks.

FORCED TO STARVE B. F. Leek, of Concord, Ky., says: "For 20 years I suffered agonies, with a sore on my upper lip, so painful, sometimes, that I could not eat. After vainly trying everything else, I cured it, with Bucklen's Arnica Salve." It's great for burns, cuts and wounds. At Jas. Hullinger & Co's. drug store, 23rd and Larimer Sts. Only 25e.

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. | The Postgraduate Normal Course of the Tuskegee Normal and indus- trial Institute will be extended to two years beginning with the opening of the next school term, September 12, 1905, and will comprise a much broader scope of work than hereto- fore. Work will be offered for three classes of students in this depart. ment: First, students whose interests are purely industrial, second, stu- dents whose interests are primarily in the academic work, and third, post- graduate normal students who wish to combine the industrial and academ ic work, Students of the second class will be required to devote five days of each week to normal work, and one day to industrial employment. The various courses will be taught by specialists thoroughly competent, and Tuskegee Institute with its complete material equip.sent in every dapart ment thus affords superior advantag- es for young men and women wish ing to prepare themselves for literary and industrial teachers, and for such teachers desiring to take advanced work, For further information ad- dress, Booker T.

CARTER President, Topeka Kas People are hard to please. If a man gets mad easily he is called “tcuchy,” and if it takes a good deal to make him mad he is called “wooden.” It is shame when the baby wakes up once in the night, and the father is awake for ten minutes, that he should lose “his whole night’s rest.” Isn’t it, now?—Atchison (Kan.) Globe. FLORIDA SUNSHINE. The North Pole itself is not so cold as a good deed forgotten. The man who saves his religion for Sunday is like the man who saves his money for his heirs. Women like mystery. Hence the fascination the average man has for the average woman. Every desert has its oasis, and every woman has her good points—even when she disappoints. In spite of Dr. Os.er, some men im- prove with age, and the glory of youth is often merely a mirage. All men are gamblers—even the plodding farmer takes big chances with nature and the seasons. A girl is not necessarily happy when she smiles—any more than a melon is eatable when it cracks wide open. A Boston actress is said to have made a small fortune trading in dia- monds. Judging from some of these press agents’ exploits, there is also money in losing them. The Statesman PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY. 1026 19TH STREET, NEAR ARAPAHOE STREET. C. A. FRANKLIN, EDITOR.

Officer John Spellman, against whom charges of malicious arrest were perferred by the editor of this paper before the board of fire and police commissioners has been fined fifteen days' pay. This case is important because it is the first time when a colored man has taken such steps against an officer. The board has shown its willingness to be guided by the evidence produced before it as to an officer's guilt and the punishment of Spellman should forever set at rest the plaint of our people that all white people and especially democrats believe with Judge Taney, that a Negro has no rights which a white man is bound to respect. Such a belief is unfair and utterly without foundation in the light of the large measure of freedom and industrial opportunity which we enjoy. There is not perfect equality and we do not believe that there can ever be until Negroes do their full share in bringing about this result. Were we more ready to offer ourselves from a standpoint of merit and leave off assuming that color is a bar, we would find many openings, in places where we do not even seek now. Competition is fierce but there was never a good thing that got up and went after a man too lazy or unwilling to seek it. We have wasted curses deep and long upon the police but in the very first case which we have brought in proper form, we get a --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

The largest pensions in the United States are drawn by women, twenty-four of whom receive in the aggregate more than is paid to 550 veterans of the $8 a month class. Mrs. Garfield and Mrs. McKinley receive $5,000 a year each. Mrs. Phillip H. Sheridan receives $2,500, while the pensions of Mrs. Logan, Mrs. McClellan and Mrs. Frank Blair are each $2,000. Eighteen widows of generals and admirals receive $1,200 a year, six $900 and 200 have pensions of $600 each. The total received by 250 widows amounts to $165,000, equal to the amount received by 2,298 veterans at 20 cents a day. Bull Fights Fall to Interest.
