THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. BRUCE GRIT WRITES Yonkers, N. Y. Notes and Some General Observations on the Race. VOL. XV. "Can any one imagine what the names of Booker T. Washington and President Roosevelt has amounted to in cost to the entire press of this country within the past three years? The debt is so large until both of them for life should be most courteous to all those newspapers that have honestly advocated their great measures to success before the American people." The above lucid editorial note is taken bodily from the columns of a Texas weekly, the Galveston City Times, the editor of which appears to have a bad case of galloping consumption. We do not undertake to answer the conundrum in the preceding portion of the paragraph. Perhaps Kunnel Fortchin could furnish an estimate of costs, etc. President Roosevelt is opposed to paying subsidies either for the exploitation of his photos or his good deeds. We do not believe that he has made, or permitted any one else to make for him any articles for press notices during the past three years. The Texas editor should send in an itemized bill for services rendered to both these gentlemen as in this way he can get at the facts. We think, however, the DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, $ \mathrm{A u_{c}} $ ust 4, 1905 President would repudiate with scorn, and repel with withering contempt the suggestion that he had countenanced or encouraged any newspaper to speak of him with the hope of pecuniary reward. He is, of course, different from some other statesmen who love printer's ink and the lime light and to be called great. The trustees of Messiah Baptist Church gave a lawn party in the beautful grounds adjoining the church on Wednesday an Thursday nights of last week which was largely attended. A fine musical and literary program was presented and refreshments in abundance were served. The colored co-operators are going on from victory to victory. Their grocery store is a proved success and the business under the skillful direction of its versatile originator and manager has reached the point where it can pay quarterly dividends to its patrons. It is understood that the apartment houses erected by the company for colored tenants and which will cost from $6,300 to $6,590 each will soon be for ready occupancy, and nearly all of them have been sold. State Historian & Natural History Society TESM WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND DO, FRIDAY, A u c u s t 4, 1905. The Co-operators are solving the problem with a very large "S" which stands for Smyer, the name of the Reverend gentleman who is sponsor for all the great things which have eventuated in a business man in Yonkers among the colored people within the past two years. "S" also stands for success and the Co operators seem to be having a measurable degree of that article. May its shadow never grow less and all its worthy plans materialize into full fledged tangible realties. There is room enough at the top and every fellow can get there if he tries even if he does not stay long. Mrs. Chas. E. Conick of 14 Larmarture avenue, and Mrs. Emily Browne of 157 N. Broadway have been sick but both are considerably improved and able to get about the house. One of the most enthusiastic disciples of Izaak Walton in Yonkers is Joseph Kelly of Waverly Street. He is a mighty fisherman and when he strikes the banks of a stream wherein the finny tribe abides they like Davy Crockett's coon yield without a protest to his superior skill. Some rather than to be caught in his hook voluntarily come ashore and permit themselves to be placed in the capacious net bag which he uses to transport his catch from the water to the frying pan. Uncle Joseph is a fisherman from away back yonder. He doesn't brag about his work but he could if he would tell some very remarkable tales. He once caught a shark on his hook, but threw him overboard as soon as landed because he wasn't fat enough to fry. In God's eternal plan for the Negro race its years of hardship and suffering are but minutes and hours. In the large and splendid future to to which it is coming the past forty years will seem only as a passing nightmare and a moment of shadow and pain. A few years are along time --- NO.58 to individual men, they are a mere breath to a nation or a race. The race emancipated by Lincoln and enfranchised by Grant is a strong virile race and cannot be put down norkept down. Time servers and knee benders little understand the irresistible force of the power which is sweeping the question on for settlement. The Negro must and ultimately will be reckoned with as a man. The apologists and cowards within the race who fear to demand recognition as men will be swept aside for the question of the manhood rights of the Negro cannot be blinked or postponed. The youngest black boy or girl will live to see as many black people in this Republic as there are now white people, and he is a fool as well as a knave in statesmanship who dares to think, if he thinks at all, that it will be possible to suppress and efface from citizenship the 70,000,000 Negro citizens, who will surely be in evidence on this part of our planet in 1960. It is better to settle it now and the honest people of this land who are after all its real ruler, will soon see and understand this and when they do the question is practically settled. The pathos of the Negro's situation is forcing the fact of his wrongs upon all feeling people, thus works the will of God in all human affairs. I believe in God's rule over man, and so I believe that the race is being held under the sad discipline it is now experiencing to fit it for greater things to come and to qualify it for the largest and most intelligent fidelity and patriotism in some great emergency in the future. I do not know how we can feel more than we know or can see, but I do feel with a clearness of faith amounting to a knowledge that the day is coming when the American Negro's love of home and country, patience, fidelity and courage will save this Republic. The white people of this land are settling into classes and gradually in (continued on editorial page.) Race News In Wilmington. Del., Thomas E Postle, a Negro, has suddenly made himself the political "boss' of the city, so far as local offices are concerned, and there is consternation in the ranks of the politicians of both parties. Postles was elected to the City Council at the recent election as an Addieks republican, and he was expected to be properly humble and to vote as he was told. Had he done so the democratic city officials would have been turned out of office, for, counting Postles, the new council consisted of seven republicans and six democrats. Now, however, it consists of six democrats, six republicans and Postles, for Postles bolted the republican caucus and made a deal with the democrats. The result was the election of five of his nominees for city offices, two being Negroes and one Postles' son, Joseph E. Postles, who was elected City Treasurer's clerk. The other Negro is George W. Anderson, bailiff of the council. The three white men he elected are Coal Oil Inspector Daniel F. Stewart, City Auditor Benjamin A. Spence and Market Clerk Joseph C. Moore. Postles allowed the democrats to keep Council's Clerk Monaghan and City Auditor's Clerk Connell in office, but warned them that if they tried to play any tricks on him he would go over to the republicans and would have these three men thrown out. The fury of the republicans, whose caucus nominees were all defeated, causes Postles to roar with laughter. He says he is not afraid of what any of the white Councilmen will do for he knows the democrats and republiwill never work together and therefore he has the whip hand. The particularly repugnant thing to the republicans is the giving of the Treasurer's clerkship to Postles' son. In this they declare they will defeat him and a subscription has been started to hire a white man to do the work of the office, keeping young Postles out, though he must get the salary. Four hundred white school teachers are up in arms and threaten not to accept their checks if they are made out by young Postles. The blame of the whole muddle is thrown on John Edward Addicks, because Postles is one of his followers. Common Cause of Illness. A famous physician upon being asked recently what is the chief cause of ill health, replied: "Thinking and talking about it all the time. This ceaseless introspection in which so many of the rising generation of nervous folk indulge is certainly wearing them out. When they are not worrying as to whether they sleep too much or too little they are fidgeting over the amount of food they take or the quantity of exercise necessary for health. In short, they never give themselves a moment's peace."- Housekeeper. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. STOOD ON HIS DIGNITY. Second-Class Virtues Had No Attraction for Tramp. Rear Admiral Charles Henry Davis, whom President Roosevelt has appointed to the international tribunal for the North sea tragedy, is a native of Cambridge and at a dinner in Cambridge he once said: "Here, in the home of Emerson, we are, perhaps, too fond of quoting the beautiful mandate: 'Hitch your wagon to a star.' We are too fond of holding that only excellence is good. "I desire to say a word for mediocrity, for humility. I desire to urge onward all those who, aware that they can do nothing really excellent, nothing really extraordinary, sit inert in their humility, and thus deprive the world of the commonplace, but still profitable, good things that are in them. "It is well to desire to be first rate, but it is better to be second rate than to be no rate at all—than to keep out of the struggle altogether. When I think of those who keep out of the struggle altogether I am reminded of a certain Wisconsin tramp. "This tramp stopped at a Wisconsin farmhouse and asked for something to eat. "Why, man, how filthy you are," said the farmer's wife. 'Why don't you go off somewhere and take a bath? Don't you know cleanliness is next to godliness?' "The tramp replied haughtily: "Madam, I cultivate no second class virtues.'" A Fragrant Pillow. A fad of women this winter is to add to their collection of divan pillows one made from sweet fern and bayberry. To be sure, not every woman can possess such a pillow for the asking. A woman who happens to have some kind New England friends who have spent the long summer days in gathering the material for such a fragrant offering is in luck, says the Indianapolis News. New York women with summer homes up in Connecticut all have these pillows, for they say there is nothing else that takes them back to the days of the fields and forest. Gathered during the summer and dried, the sweet fern and bayberries and leaves are at once ready for use. The odor is quite distinctive and peculiar to the New England fields, as the sweet balsam is to the mountains and forest. Sea Encroaching on England. During the great storms of a few weeks ago the coast of England suffered severely, especially at Dover, where about a quarter of a mile of the famous chalk cliffs fell into the sea. If the computation of the experts is accurate England is having 2,000 acres sliced off its coast every year, which would make away with the whole of England in 16,500 years. The problem of the disappearance of England is like the calculation that the Mississippi lowers the level of its bed by the one six-thousandth part of a foot every year, or one foot in 6,000 years, and that, therefore, the continent of America will itself vanish into the ocean in a few million years. She is careful to spend at least aif hour every day in the open air She sleeps eight hours, and as often is possible two of them before mid night. ATESMAN et, Near Aarpahoe.

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. This is the test of your manhood; how much is there left in you after you have lost everything outside of yourself? 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.

The leaves were blowing red and brown Beneath the beech trees bare, When the Dark Maid came to our town With gold pins in her hair. Her eyes were like a forest pool, Her lips they were so sweet, Every man put aside his tool, To watch her down the street. The leaves were blowing yellow and gray, In the waning of the moon, When the Dark Maid came along the way With silver-buckled shoon. Her mantle fell like folds of mist, That lift and shift and change: Was never wandering lutanist That played a tune so strange. The leaves were blowing crimson and gold, The wind was like a sigh That sobs across a ferny wold Before the raindrops fly. And none beheld her, whence she came Or knew the way she went, Our hearts being stirred to smouldering flame Of tenderest discontent. The leaves were blowing ash and dun Athwart the edge of night, When the Dark Maid toward the setting sun Sang herself out of sight. And every man, from marvel roused, Took up his toil again; How should that fairy joy be housed In homes of mortal men? But still against a singing wind In dreams we follow her. The Dark Maid never looks behind, That plays the dulcimer. —May Byron in The Spectator. --- Naive Answer Made to Edison by Green Fireman. Thomas A. Edison was one day explaining an intricate machine to a newspaper writer. "Do you understand?" Mr. Edison would ask. And a moment later: "Now, do you understand?" The poor journalist tried to follow the swift sentences of the inventor, but the effort was in vain. Every little while he would have to stop and say that, just there, he did not quite understand; and then, sighing, Mr. Edison would begin all over again. "I know I am very green as regards machinery," the journalist said apologetically. "Oh, no; I have seen greener," said Mr. Edison. "Did I ever tell you about the fireman I once met in Canada? "Well, in a certain Canadian town, where I was running a telegraph office in my youth, a new factory, with a very fine engine house, was put up. I visited this factory one day to see the engine. The engineer was out and the fireman, a new hand, showed me about. As we stood admiring the engine together I said: "What horse power has this engine?" "The fireman gave a loud laugh. "Horse power?" he exclaimed. 'Why, man, don't you know that the machine goes by steam?' She begins each day with a cold bath, followed by a glass of cold or hot water. She is neither self-centered nor family-centered, but has a few fresh outside interests to keep her live and thoughtful Secret of Long Youth. Simple diet, plain living, active outdoor work or walking, and absence of worry, give conditions that will develop the best physical and moral possibilities within one. We are all prone to exhaust nerve force over petty cares. We get excited if the rooms are not properly dusted; we put too much of ourselves into our household work; we do not want to learn to simplify; we do not always take the "forty winks" early in the afternoon. These are some of the causes of age, and we can avoid them just as we can learn to sometimes be idle and at all times be reposeful. Housekeeper. For Troublesome Feet. A decoction of white oak bark is invaluable for perspiring feet. To make the decoction place one ounce of white oak bark to one and one-half pints of boiling water and simmer very slowly for two or three hours; cool, strain and add four ounces of alcohol; then bottle for use. The most convenient mode of application is to pour out a small quantity in a saucer and apply to the feet with a velvet sponge, after giving them a warm bath. Strength in God's Hands. Strength in God's Hands. Our life is scarce the twinkle of a star. In God's eternal day. Obscure and dim. With mortal clouds, it yet may beap for Him. And, darkened here, shine fair to sphere afar. I will be patient, lest my sorrow be; His grace and blessing, and I fall supine; In my own hands want and weakness are. My strength, O God, in Thine. —Baylor Taylor.

"And the other part," rejoined the low comedian, "is false, I presume." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. SENTENCE SERMONS. Love leaps over the lines of liking. The empty head needs a haughty air. A frozen heart does not make a stiff back. Worry is the worst wolf that comes to our doors. The more helpful the deed the more holy the day. The Sunday suit never made the Monday saint. Burdens may be the ballast that saves the ship. A little sorrow may teach more than many sermons. As soon as you are proud of your humility it dies. Many are willing to lose this world —by swallowing it. Trickery in the pulpit will not lead the pews into truth. Kickers hide the best things in life in the dust they raise. The gloomy church is likely to be filled with tombstone saints. The great thing is not so much to fill the pews as to fill the people. Canned charity may feed the hungry, but it cannot fill the heart. The man with a big sign of sainthood usually has something to hide behind it. The people in the primary of life are always the first to show the graduates how to do it. It is a good deal easier to stir up a hornet's nest than it is to find the right place to crawl into. A little sympathy that gets into our feet is worth a whole lot of sorrow that never soaks deeper than our feelings. The man who has only a two-inch lake of wisdom always thinks he has to dam it in with a big wall of words. —Chicago Tribune. CHEATED. CHEATED. You cheat yourself when you evade any question. All who pretend, very successfully cheat themselves. You cheat yourself when you fail to do your best every day. You are fearfully cheated when you take drugs to cure nervousness. Milner Defends His Policy. Lord Milner, England's retiring high commissioner for South Africa, in his farewell speech said: "I shall live in the memories of the men of this country, if I live at all, in connection with the struggle to keep it within the limits of the British empire. Certainly I engaged in that struggle with all my might and being and with a growing conviction of the righteousness of our cause. But however inevitable, however just a destructive conflict of that kind is, it is a sad business to look back upon. What I should prefer to be remembered by is a tremendous effort subsequent to the war not Phone Main 4956 THE IDEAL PHAR DR. E. L.

NEW NATIONAL BIRD HEN PUT FORWARD TO DEPOSE THE EAGLE. Tyrant of the Air Has No Claims on Our Gratitude and Esteem, While the Humble Barnyard Fowl Has Many. The suggestion may seem radical, but why not depose the eagle and choose a more appropriate national bird? The eagle is a bird of prey, destroying many more useful birds; he is not beautiful, except when soaring at great heights, in which distance lends enchantment to the feathered pirate, and he is an emblem of the most tyrannical monarchies in the world. Russia had adopted him long before our republic was born. Austria used him so long that he became shopworn. Ancient Rome robbed and ravaged, using him as its appropriate emblem. In the Continental Congress, when a national bird was selected, the eagle won over the turkey by but one vote. Washington and Franklin favored the turkey as a bird of peace distinctively American, not at war with everything else wearing feathers, including its own kith and kin. Why should a country like ours adopt a second-hand emblem already stained with the deeds of tyrants and the misdeeds of despots? Why not adopt the plain, useful, peaceful and practical American hen? While not a singer, her "lay" is pleasing and preferable to the shrill scream or an eagle with its talons dripping innocent blood. The hen is industrious, unassuming and devoted to usefulness. She is an exponent of the simple life in all its beauty and seductiveness. She fills our beds with feathers, our departments of the interior with omelets and our souls with satisfaction. Her eggs bring millions of dollars monthly to our people, exclusive of those her owners consume. Her spring chickens, though the "spring" in them sometimes resembles rubber, have fancy price-marks attached and are justly esteemed. You cannot eat eaglets nor get rich on eagles' eggs. The cackle of the household hen is musical, though not entrancing. She is sociable and does not, like the eagle, hold herself aloof. She is immortal, for her son never sets. She is brave, and for her little brood will fight anything from a mammoth to a mouse. As for the eagle's boasted prowess, a game rooster can whip him to a sandpaper finish, and make himself resemble twice fifteen cents if he will but stay on the earth for a round or two. Make the hen our national bird, and instead of the arrows and olive branches let her hold in her useful claws a statement of the annual egg money and a certificate of character from the housewives, with the motto, "Miscete dulce utili." Retire the boastful, impractical, predatory eagle, the feathered queen of Philadelphia Ledger. Dr. W. H. Lynch of Salem, Mo., praised recently, at the University of Pennsylvania, the newspaper. Dr. Lynch is an educator, and he declared that the newspaper was one of the most powerful educative influences of modern times. Finally he told a number of stories about country methods of journalism. "A country editor," he said, "was appointed, through some misapprehension or other, to the city editorship of a leading daily. The first day of his appointment' a fierce fire swept the town—a fire, let us say, like that which devastated Baltimore last winter. "The managing editor sent for the new city editor and asked him what arrangements he had made for reporting the fire fully and accurately. "Why,' said the new man, 'I've made none.' "None?' said the managing editor. 'Good gracious, man, why none?' "What's the use printing anything about are like this?" said the city edite 's such a big fire that everybody own will go to see it for himself.' alt Lake Tribune. English Minister in Revival. Rev. W. J. Dawson, until recently pastor of the Highbury Quadrant Congregational church of London, has arrived in this county. He will lead a series of evangelistic meetings for the next three months in the leading cities of the United States under the auspices of the evangelistic committee of the National Council of Congregational Churches of America. Mr. Dawson said he had resigned his pastorate in London because he wanted to be free to do as he liked. His former visit had been so pleasant that he felt an overpowering desire to return here. He will begin his campaign in Pittsfield, Mass. The Cost of "Wireless." Estimates would show that a wireless system can be established, operated and maintained at from 1 to 5 per cent. of the cost of telegraph and cable systems. Even after the construction the telegraphs and cables cost tremendously for maintenance, while the current expenses of wireless are extremely light. The annual cost of cables is $100 per mile; the cost of land wires, $30; of wireless, $5. "In three years," says Prof. Fessenden, "the cost of a wire line will amount to more than the total cost of installing a wireless system." Cur Cuts Talk THE WILLIAMSON HAFFNER ENGRAVING CO.

Head of fine type, carried well on the shoulders, and, in walking, with the impression of being a little thrown back; long brown hair, falling from under a broadish-brimmed Spanish form of soft felt hat, Rembrandtesque; loose kind of Inverness cape when walking and invariable velvet jacket inside the house." --- GOOD HELP cago about six weeks ago.

The prelate has received hundreds of letters on the subject and has seen many newspaper articles discussing the point. Now it is announced that a book on "Temperance" from his pen will appear shortly. The work sets forth views which he has held and expressed for several years past and gives forcible reasons for his present attitude on the saloon question. rst Picnic..

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO PLANTS FEED ON INSECT8. Peculiar Carnivorous Growth Is a Native of Cochin-China. There is now in bloom at Shaw's garden, St. Louis, a queer plant, odd in its form and color and queer in its habits. It is one of the carrion plants and feeds on insects. The common name of this strange plant is the "devil's tongue," a name given to it on account of its oddly shaped flowers. The amorphopallus rivieri, or devil's tongue, belongs to one of the most remarkable groups in the vegetable kingdom. It is a native of Cochin-China. The flower has an extraordinary appearance. The spathe is of a purplishbrown color, and the spadix, which is thick and fleshy and about fifteen inches long, is of a darker color than the spathe; it is broadly campanulated and beautifully undulated at the margin. Like other members of the singular tribe to which it belongs, it has a strong, disagreeable odor. It is one of the carrion plants which attract insects in the manner of the goose plant and other plants of that nature. It is fertilized by insects. It remains in flower from three to four days. The foliage is large and unbrellalike, the stem is snakelike. The plant grows from two to three feet high. The root is tuberous, spherical and weighs from six to eight pounds, and is used as a food, after careful cooking to eliminate the poisonous properties. Lodge's Grim Humor. Senator Lodge's sense of humor is a grim one, at least so averts a certain committee clerk in the senate. One afternoon early in the present session there were a number of clerks engaged in a room just off that of the senior senator from Massachusetts. All at once they were aware of the sudden appearance of the senator. His brows were wrinkled into the sternest of frowns. "Who is it" demanded he in a peremptory tone, "that is smoking that cigarette?" Whereupon the guilty man immediately began to apologize and threw away his smoke. "Oh, it's you," said the senator with a half smile; "then I'll thank you to hand me one; there isn't a single cigarette in my room."—New York Times. Unappreciated Science. A young woman amazed a scientist whom she met not long ago at a dinner party. The scientist narrated, in great detail, to the young girl a series of experiments that he was conducting with the microphone. "The microphone," he explained, "magnifies sounds to the ear as the microscope magnifies objects to the eye. The footfalls of a centipede heard through the microphone resemble a tattoo on a drum. The dropping of a pin is like the report of a cannon." "That is interesting," said the lady. "This afternoon," resumed the scientist, "I caught a fly and studied its note. The note resembled the neigh of a horse." "Perhaps," said the young girl, innocently, "it was a horse fly." Fashionable Disease. So fashionable is appendicitis in British society circles that, says London Opinion, many women would rather have it than a three-quarter length photograph in a magazine."

An agitation is going on in London for horse ambulances, for, incredible as it may seem, a person injured in the streets of London is jogged to the hospital in a two-wheeled hand barrow, drawn by one or two policemen. There are only three horse ambulances in the whole city, and they are owned by private parties, who charge for their use. There is no first aid system. Last of Penn's Descendants. Newton L.

King Edward is "Chesty." One of King Edward's dusky subjects who attended the coronation has written a book recording his impressions in which the following description of the king is worth quoting: "He has a magnificent chest, which he throws out like a lion; his voice rolls from it like that of a lion, as is the custom with princes." Origin of the Double Eagles. Both Russia and Germany display two-headed eagles on their standards. Yet this symbol is considered by some heralds to be merely the result of the heraldic practice of "dimidiation." This was simply a child's way of impaling two coats-of-arms on the same shield by the primitive method of cutting each in half and taking the dexter half of one and the sinister half of the other and placing them back to back, as it were. Strange two-headed beasts naturally resulted as, for instance, when a lion and an eagle were halved and joined together. The griffin is supposed to have been evolved from two lions rampant by dimidiation. --- Personal Briefs. Who They Are, What They Are and Where They Are.

He spoke last Sunday morning at Shorter, in the evening at Campbell, in the afternoon at the Alliance and Monday night lectured at Shorter on "Kome." As a speaker, the Bishop is like the sainted Chrysostom—he speaks with mellifluous eloquence and makes an appeal to reason that is deep. He is a thinker and is well qualified to occupy the place in the race and church which he has. He left at once to fill Bishop Grant's date for the California Conference. Perfect Ointment for Skin. For scratches, chapped hands and other sores, woodland science furnishes the most grateful ointment to be found anywhere. It is delightfully fragrant, mild, sweet and of speedy action. It is made from the gum-laden buds of the whitewood or poplar, which is often called from its value as a provider of unguent the Balm of Gilead tree. The buds are boiled down with deer's 1at in proper proportion, and a little honey is added as the mass cools. That nothing finer in its way has ever been discovered is the common verdict of all who have ever made use of it. BLIND MAN AS ELECTRICIAN. He Can Wire a House and Manage a Dynamo—Has Won Prizes. The idea that blind people are capable only of exercising certain hackneyed professions such as brush, basket and mat-making has been triumphantly refuted by Mr. S. Ferris, a resident of Swindon, who, though totally sightless, carries on a most successful business as a practical electrician in that town. Mr. Ferris gained the requisite knowledge of the business at the Swindon technical schools, winning four certificates and two first prizes in competition with seeing students. His principal, Mr. Knowles, had no hesitation in leaving him in full charge of the engine and dynamos. Mr. Ferris has since carried out several contracts for the installation of electric light to the entire satisfaction of the Swindon corporation engineer and his customers and has recently secured a fresh contract for writing and fitting ten houses. The blind electrician judges the direction and distance of surrounding objects by the echo of his own footsteps, and is thus enabled to steer clear of obstacles. He never uses a walking-stick. Mr. Ferris' method in wood-turning is to hold the machine tool in the right hand only, and allow the fingers of the left to rest on the revolving work, so that he may detect if it is being accurately done. He grinds and sharpens his own implements, also cutlery of all kinds.—London Dally The Social Life of the Puebloans J. W, Young is at work again. Miss Ellen Braxton is very ill at this writing.

The Postgraduate Normal Course of the Tuskegee Normal and industrial 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 heretofore. Work will be offered for three classes of students in this department: First, students whose interests are purely industrial, second, students whose interests are primarily in the academic work, and third, postgraduate normal students who wish to combine the industrial and academic 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 equipment in every department thus affords superior advantages for young men and women wishing to prepare themselves for literary and industrial teachers, and for such teachers desiring to take advanced work.

Invitations were extended, which brought out a large and appreciative attendance of the elite. To say the least, they were the recipient of quite a treat in selecting Rev. W. T.

Senator Berry of Arkansas is responsible for this story: A man living in one of the small towns of Arkansas was recognized as a wag, and he seemed to take special delight in feathering on ministers. One day the fellow was sitting in his nuggy, to which was hooked a mule, when the village minister came up and suggested that he be loaned the team to take his wife out for an airing. "I don't think, parson, your wife would ride behind a jackass; but if she can ride beside one, why she can have the team," was the answer. "You misunderstand me," said the minister. "My dear brother, I do not wish you to go, for I intend to drive myself. Women are always in quest of something—but a conquest seems to suit them best. The smaller the girl the larger the doll necessary to appease her incipient maternal affection. Matrimony resembles a besieged city; those who are out want to get in, and those who are in would like to get out. The woman who thoroughly understands men may not be able to write magazine poetry, but she is pretty sure to be a good cook. She eats three warm meals at regular hours. She never rides where she can walk the distance comfortably. J. PIERPONT ORGAN JR.

Little, the publisher, excongressman, twice president of the New York board of education, and now president of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen, has started for his first vacation in half a century. Except for three years at the front during the civil war and for a short business trip to Europe, Mr. Little has never been away from his work for ten consecutive days. The holiday on which he now has started is planned for two months. Fifty years ago, when he was 13 years old, Mr. Little began a three years' apprenticeship at the printing trade. He received $25 for the first year, $35 for the second and $45 for the third, which nearly paid for his clothes. He lived with his employer above the office of the little country newspaper office and three years later went to New York. DEPARTMENTS HOW SHE KEEPS YOUNG.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. A Good Rule Works Both Ways. An old minister who was fond of go ing away from home, found that some of his parishioners objected to his fre quent absence, and complained of it— some of them to him personally, ané more of them behind his back. Wher he thought he had heard enough of it, he addressed his congregation one Sunday thus: “With regard to objections concern ing szy absence, I have to say, when lam out of the pulpit I am usually in some other body’s pulpit. When you gre rot in your own pew are you fp some other body's pew?
