THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. UPWARD JOURNEY VOL. XV. Bishop Abram Grant of the Fifth district of the African Methodist Church of America lectured Monday at the African Methodist Episcopal Church, corner of Webster and Eighteenth streets, before a large audience on the question of "Problems Confronting the American People." His lecture was divided into several heads the first of which was the problem of industrial education. He paid a glowing tribute to Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute and the great work he was doing for the industrial elevation of the colored race "There are but two Washingtons in this country," he said, "and they are George and Booker Washington." The speaker believes in co-education. He did not believe in separate school's. By the association and friction of varied intellects, whether of the white or black race, true genius and individual development would soon assert itself. He maintained that this world was not large enough for man. There is no limit to the human intellect. He believed that industrial education was as essential as the higher branches. He spoke upon the subject of immigration and showed that within the past year 1,800,000 foreigners had landed in America, many of them who could not speak the English language. At this rate of increase of foreign population he wanted to know what would happen to the United States in the next twenty years. One thing was sure and that was whenever the black man was called he stood DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, SEPT. 15, 1905. ready to keep the constitution intact and the flag afloat. PREDICTS LABOR WAR. In regard to labor and capital, he believed that there was a common ground upon which labor and capital could meet. He advised the colored men to keep out of the unions and trade organizations unless among themselves. The white laboring class was the natural and virulent enemy of the black map. The only recourse for the colored man was to attend to his own business. The labor troubles can only be settled by Congress or on the battlefield. The speaker did not expect to live to see this latter alternative, but he said "some of you will." Crime he maintained, was the direct result of intemperance. Crime has cost this country $800,000,000 while education had cost it but $105,000,000 within a very short period. The crime of drink stifles the judge on the bench and the preacher in his pulpit. A sober and industrious nation cannot be kept down. Divorce, he thought; was a growing evil and the only remedy was to delegate a committee to select a wife or husband for the man or woman who did not know how to do the selecting. A man should not take a woman from a home to a rented house. Until he owned a home or was able to own one he should not marry. He decried the growing tendency of woman's clubs to destroy the sanctity and beauty of the home. State Historian & Natural History Society TESA WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND DO, FRIDAY, SEPT. 15, 1905. NA, UTAH AND NEW T. 15, 1905. A woman should attend first to her own home before devising plans for the care of other homes. "The settlement of the Negro problem was possible if only all discussion of it was left off. It is slowly solving itself. * * * He has accomplished much in forty years and what is not possible for him in the coming hundred years the Tillmans and Jeff Davises notwithstanding.—Omaha Bee.} Mrs. Laura Carry has been quite ill for the past few days. Ralph Motley is up from Colorado Springs. Mrs. Allie Travers has returned to the city. Hairy Banks has gone to Creed where he has a good situation. Miss Lottie Richardson was married at Macon, Mo., recently. The Colorado Springs' letter arrived too late for publication. Mesdames Ratley, and Childers of of Topeka, and Like of Leavenworth, spent several days in the Springs. Chas. Coleman who lived here many years ago but now is of Milwaukee, is in the city visiting. Dr. Williams of Cincinnati, and Prof. Layton of Washington, have gone home. Mrs. S. DeNeal gave a luncheon Thursday in honor of Mrs. Wilson of St. Louis. Dr. Jackson of Topeka, who has been here for a week left Thursday for the Springs enroute home. Mrs. S. R Lewis and daughter Beatrice went to Colorado Springs Sunday and staid three days the guests of Mrs. Thornton. Rev. J. H. Smith of Durango was here enroute to Cheyenne. He preached to an appreciation audience at Campbell Church last Sunday. Mrs. S. J. Johnson of Trinidad was among this week's visitors together --- PERSONALS with her son, Randall, and Robert Brooks. Roy Handy is here to take a course in Gross Medical Coilege. E. W. Moore has been entertaining his sister from Missouri. She returned home this week. R. G. White of Independence, Kan is in the city the guest of S. R. Lewis He is a prosperous laundryman and property owner, but expects to make this his home for the advantage of his health. This is the last week of the stay of Ed Henderson who joined his wife here some days ago. He is the owner of a prosperous business in Columbia, Mo., and says he is getting too nervous staying away so long. He was a we'come visitor and must come again. Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Stewart were at home Thursday night in honor of their sister, Miss Ida Downing and Meadames O. and William Dysart. Music was discoursed during the evening. The winter season of dancing was opened by the Elks with a ball at East Turner Hall Thursday night They hrve set a high standard for all future events both as to crowd and arrangements. It is hard to beat a set of entertainers who are all workers and as the Elks number some of the best in the city their affairs are always perfect. The Harris orchestra played with such satisfaction that frequent encores prevented playing all the program. J. W. Taylor was chair man and he and his assistants made good. Rev. Douglass went to Pueblo last week and accompanied his wife home. She has been conducting a class in millinery there which closed Friday with an exhibition. She may have a class here at some time. The act of Pythias Lodge in donating to the funeral expenses of the funeral of the young man killed on the excursion is a handsome one and is to be commended. NO.62 ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Ernest Reynolds is again at the city pharmacy. Mrs Sum Elwards of Las Vegas joined her husband in this city last Monday. John Anderson, a carpenter from Colorado Springs came to the city and will work at his trade. Mrs. Danny Austin and sons have returned from the Indian Territory, where they have been visiting for several months. Mrs. John Louis; a talented lady of Kansas City has the management of the A. M. E. choir, Mrs. Wm. Pettis having resigned. T. O. Mason returned Friday of last week from a business trip to Denver. H.C. Allen, editor of the Elpaso Are Light, died last week of consumption. He was a fearless and conscientious writer in the upbuilding of his race. The editorial department of the paper will be conduc ed by Prof. Lott of this city, who for thirty years has made schoolteaching a profession. He left Wednesday for Elpaso to take charge. The deceased had many friends in this city. The members and friends of the church gave Rev. Byas a farewell at the church on Friday evening of last week. A literary program was arranged but several of the participants were out of the city. Rev. Jones and others entertained the audience. Refreshments were served. We see no reason why an up-to-date dancing academy should not be opened in this city. Something should be done to entertain the young folk. There are several skilled dancers among them. Evans Living in Freedom. There are more than 1,000 swans in Abbotsbury, in England, living a perfectly natural life, and none of them is pinioned. The visitor sees the largest birds in England in full flight, for the Abbotsbury birds use their wings for all journeys to and from the sea, or down the long lagoon called the Fleet, that divides the shore from the beach. Origin of "Khaki." "Khaki" is a Persian word, meaning earth or dust colored, from "khak," earth, dust, mould, soil, etc. Sir Henry Yale, in "Hobson Jobson," says that cloth of this color was worn by some of the Punjab regiments at the siege of Delhi and that it became generally popular in the army during the campaign of 1857-58. What's in a Name? The circuit court of Chicago granted the petition of Eugene F. Damm for the changing of his name. His attorney was Mr. Booz, who discoursed eloquently and persuasively on the embarrassment of being called Damm without showing the slightest self-consciousness about the name Booz. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO BUILT WITH SECRET DRAWERS. Hidden Compartments in All Up-to-date Furniture. The woman in a fashionable furniture store looked the new sideboard all over, but seemed so indifferent that the salesman despaired of a sale. He was preparing to accept the usual "will call again" when an idea occurred to him. Opening a cabinet on the side intended for cruet bottles, he touched a spring. To the astonished customer was revealed a secret drawer, large enough to hold a dozen letters or so, a bank book, and a few jewels. The salesman closed the drawer. "Now open it," he said to the customer. She tried in vain. She asked the salesman to show her how. He said he would with pleasure if she bought the sideboard, otherwise it was against the rules of the house. "This is an evolution of the secret drawers in writing desks," he said to an onlooker. "It is not up-to-date now to put secret compartments in desks. That is the first place anybody looking for hidden documents is sure to look. But they never think of searching in a folding bed or a dining room sideboard. It is the women who run most strongly to this freak feature in furniture. A man has his fireproof deposit vault or a safe place in his office for any papers he wants to keep out of sight. A woman seldom has anything but a desk at home, that is as available to everybody else in the family as it is to her. She never knows what moment her cherished little secrets may be uncovered and laughed at. With such a compartment as the one in that sideboard she need never worry." Bright Doggie. M. M. Williams, of this place, has a very fine thoroughbred Fields water spaniel (imported) that is truly a wonder in his way, says the Titusville (Fla.) Star. He can do almost anything except talk, and is able to find a lost article on being sent for it by his acute sense of smell. An illustration was given a member of the Star staff, who witnessed an exhibition of his acuteness in this direction recently. Mr. Williams took from his vest pocket a good sized roll of bills, and, going away from his dog a distance of 150 yards, hid his money and returned. Upon being told to bring it back, the spaniel went straight and returned immediately to his master with the lost greenbacks intact, not a single bill missing. This fine specimen of canine intelligence recently recovered a very valuable and highly prized gold hunting case watch for Isaac Jenkins, a very heavy grain buyer of Jacksonville. Good Drink for Invalids. Barley water is easily prepared by washing two ounces of barley in a little water, which is placed in a jug with the outer peel of one quarter of lemon. To this add two quarts of boiling water. Allow it to cool; strain, and drink when cold. The Kink That Won't Come Back. You can make your hair just a straight and smooth as you want to by using the Original Ozonized Ox Marrow, and the kink that was there before will not come back. The Ozonized Ox Marrow also keeps the hair from falling out, cures dandruff and makes the hair grow. It never fails. One THE STATESMAN 1026 19th Street, Near Aarpahoe. Atention!

The work of capturing wild horses in the vicinity of Fox mountain and Madeline plains has begun and several animals have been taken. This country is practically a wild unbroken stretch of mountains in western Nevada and eastern California that is too rough for any purpose except grazing and over which several thousand head of wild horses roam. The captured animals are invariably small but well proportioned and prove to be hardy, serviceable and obedient after being broken.—Cedarville Correspondence Sacramento Bee. Marmalade a Parisian Novelty. A woman just back from Europe says that in Paris she noticed on a restaurant menu one day the two words "Le Dundee." She ordered it. The waiter wore a smile of suppressed triumph when he came back. "Le Dundi," he murmured insinuatingly, and helped her to two tablespoonfuls of her old friend, Scotch marmalade. It poems that marmalade is quite the caper in Paris now, but it is eaten a finner, and in place of a sweet without bread. --- We want to call your attention to our Job Printing Department.

Old Cattleman Never Suspected Why Knife Was Soapy. Miss Violet Oakley, the young artist whose work in illustrating received at St. Louis one of the highest awards, lives on the outskirts of Philadelphia, in a quaint, low, white house of English aspect, called the "Red Rose." Miss Oakley was serving tea in her studio the other afternoon when the word "ruse" came up. Every one had some episode about an odd and successful ruse to narrate. Miss Oakley said: "I, too, recall a ruse that succeeded wonderfully, an unexpected and original ruse that a friend of mine employed. "My friend, a Philadelphia woman, had recently for a visitor an elderly uncle from the country. He was a good old man, as intelligent and sensitive old man, but his table manners were not—ah—up to the mark. "My friend could not think of taking her uncle to task about his table manners; if she had it would have broken the poor old gentleman's heart. Instead of taking him to task she employed a ruse upon him. Her ruse, which was quite successful, culminated like this: "'Mary,' says her uncle at dinner, 'this knife of mine tastes soapy.' "'Very well, uncle. You shall have another.' --- The second knife comes. The uncle, with a grimace, again remarked: "'Soapy, too, Mary. Just like the first knife was.' "My friend frowned. "'It's too bad, uncle,' she said. 'But city servants are so careless. Try eating with your fork. Maybe that's clean.'" SHOWS FOLLY OF WORRY. 8short Talk About Perplexities Met With In Life. Never climb a hill until you get to it, advises a writer in Medical Talk for the Home. We remember as children that in riding through the country we had a dread of high hills. How often we saw far ahead of us, on the road, a formidable looking hill. How high and rough and steep it looled, and how we feared it. How hard it would be for the horse to carry us up such a hill. We were sure he would slip and fall and maybe upset the carriage and so, with the greatest apprehension, we would approach the dreadful hill. But how surprised we were as we came nearer to find the hill receding, growing flatter, and really no hill at all when we reached the point that seemed so high and craggy and dangerous. So it is with many of life's perplexities. How darkly they loom up before us, what a black pall they spread around us. But when we get close up to them they have vanished entirely. We spoil so much of life in fear and foreboding. We let slip the beautiful moments that are ours and spoil them by dreading the moments of the future with which we have nothing to do. We ride over the nice, level country, forgetting its beauty, unmindful of its delight, dreading the hill that never comes. Her Logical Reasoning. In his "Comic School Tales" H. J. Barker gives some amusing answers by children technically known in England as "howlers." Here are some of them: A teacher in a school at Stepney, East London, was giving her class an examination on the Scriptural work of the previous three months. Among other questions the lady asked: "With what weapon did Samson slay the thousand Philistines?" And one girl, jumbling her old and new testament knowledge, stood up and replied: "With the ax of the apostles." A woman teacher had been explaining the story of the casting adrift of the infant Moses. "Now, why was it, do you think, that the good mother daubed the little ark boat so carefully with slime and pitch?" "Oh, ma'am," said one little 5-year-old girl, "to make the baby stick inside." Intellectuality Not Evident. Sir Robert Ball, the noted British astronomer, went to a remote town in Ireland to lecture on his favorite topic. Arriving at the station he looked for the expected conveyance, but found none. After all the other passengers had disappeared, a man stepup and said: "Maybe you're Sir Robert Ball?" On receiving an affirmative reply the man hastily apologized, saying: "Sure, your honor, I'm sorry I kept you waiting, but I was tould to look for an intellectual gentleman." Sir Robert thought that under the circumstances it would be better not to inquire what was the man's idea of intellectuality. CITY NEWS Bished roonis for rent in food 10cation at 637-22nd Street.

WRONG IN HIS RECKONING. WIGS Was NO FINS TO" SO OF Me Last Day. Prof. Hiram Corson of Corvell is not only a great Shakespearean critic, but also a person who upon occasion knows how to meet an emergency with true Shakespearean elevation of soul It is told of him—and all good stories in that neighborhood are told of him— that he was once aroused from his nightly slumbers by his wife, who had become frightened at a thunderstorm “Wake up, Hiram,” she cried. The professor turned uneasily on his couch, but was sound asleep again in two seconds. A blinding flash, fol- lowed almost instantaneously by a ter. rifie peal of thunder, caused his terri- fied spouse to again cry: “Wake up; oh, do wake up, Hiram!” No response came beyond an inarticulate gurgle from the professor, succeeded prompt- ly by the regular breathing of deep sleep. Another flash more vivid than its predecessor lit up the room, while the wind, tearing some bricks from the chimney, brought them rattling and banging down upon the roof, accom panied by the sharp detonation of the ‘thunder. “Hiram, wake up; the last great day has come!” shrieked Mrs. Corson “Wha-a-a-t, in the night?” queried | the professor—New York Times.

It has recently been pul into operation there. The block system of signaling has been in general use in New Zealand hitherto; but the new system, called the “tablet,” has now been introduced Its essential feature is that no engine driver is allowed to leave a station without a tablet in his possession, and the element of safety rests on the fact that the machines are so made tnat {t is impossible for two of the tabiets to be out at the same time, If a driver leaves Auckland for Newmarket with a tablet, that tablet has to be deposited in the machine at Newmarket before another tablet ie issued for Auckland, and the elec trical connection between the two stations makes it ‘impossible to’ éx tract a‘tablet from the Auckland ma- | Phone Main 4956 We pay for the return of all | our marked bottles.

An Oxford Epigrammatist. The grave bas lately closed over the Rev. R.

WESTERN UNIVERSITY NOTES Neyer before in the Western University has the first day of school been attended with such bright posy prospects as attended the evening of this institution this week. Beginning with a bright beautiful day of sunshine the incoming students arrived thick and fast, in numbers so great that has eclipsed all previous records for first day attendance. The students assembled in the old chapel and all the seats were filled with new faces. In the afternoon they were again assembled and listened attentively to speeches delivered by distinguished men who were visiting the grounds. They were Bishop Grant, Rev. Geo. Clark, Elder M. Collins, Trustee J. R. Ransom and Prof. Joseph Shorter, who has taught at Wilberforce for the past 33 years. The most imposing building on the campus, the pride of the community, is the girl's dormitory, Ward Hall. The lady student's are earnest, determined and business looking young women and have been splendidly cared for in the convenient quarters of this modern structure. Work on the Trades Hall will be finished soon. The State of Kansas is sparing neither meney nor material in making this a most suitable and up-to-date structure for the fullest teaching and study along the lines of trades and industries. The intelligent Negroes of Kansas are doing their part by sending their boys and girls in such large numbers to enjoy and profit by these excellent opportunities. The young men and women at the University this year oome with grim determined looks. bent on grappling with ignorance, getting down to business, hard work and study, and resolving to make this year the greatest year in their lives. Push, energy and "get results" pervades student body as well as faculty. The teachers for the departments are assigned as follows: Wm. T. Vernon, President; G. Archie Gregg, Mathematics and German; Lewis N. Spurlock, Superintendent of Industries; Charles E. Starr, Architecture and Carpentry; H. R. Graham, Printing and Bookbinding; Wm. B.

Clark, Dressmaking, Plain Sewing and Millinery; Miss Josephine Wright, Cooking and Domestic Science. Material for a foot ball team and a military company is accumulating as new students arrive daily. Western states from Washington to Illinois are represented in the enrollment and still they come. Friends and wellwishers of Western University throughout this entire section of our nation are to be congratulated upon the great success which they are making of this great institution. The consolation of having lent a helping hand must be indeed great to those who now see it blossoming forth, yea. bulging forth into a great era of uplift and widespread usefulness. GOT OFF CHEAP.

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.

When Mrs, Redbreast Goes After 2 Grub She Always Gets Him. ee Se a Se bo ey We Se enn aa I recently observed a robin boring for grubs in a country dooryard. It is a common enough sight to witness one seize an angle worm and drag it from its burrow in the turf, but I am not sure that I ever saw one drill for grubs and bring the big white mor- fe: to the surface. The robin I am speaking of had a nest of young in a maple near by, and she worked the neighborhood very industriously for food. She would run along over the short grass after the manner of robins, stopping every few feet, her form stiff and erect. Now and then she would suddenly bend her head toward the ground and bring eye or ear for a moment to bear intently upon it. Then she would spring to boring the turf vigorously with her bill, changing her attitude at each stroke, alert and watchful, throw- ‘ug up the grass roots and little jets of soil, tabbing deeper and deeper, growing every moment more and more excited, till finally a fat grub is seized and brought forth. Time after time, during several days, I saw her mine for grubs in this way and drag them forth. How did she know where to drill The insect was in every case an inch below the surface. Did she hear it gnawing the roots of the grasses, or did she see a movement in the turf beneath which the grub was ct work 1 ee not. i only know that she struck her game unerringly each time. Only twice did I see her make i. few thrusts and then desist, as if she had been deceived.—John Burroughs in Outing DOG GUT THE ROBBERS. Persistency of Yellow Cur That Brought Results. a eee See ee After a posse had failed to locate them, a little shaggy yellow dog re cently stood guard over six bank rob- bers he had run Into a straw stack, says a Sioux City, Ia., dispatch to the New York World, and by his frantic demonstration induced the pursuers to dig them out. The yeggmen had blown the safe of the Joliey, Ia., bank, and were traced to the farm of A. Clark, near Yetter. The posse looked over the premises, and walked around the very stack where (he robbers were concealed. They gave up the search and re turned to Yetter, where they were tel- ephoned by Mrs. Clark that the dog was barking himself sick at the stack. They returned and watched, and pres- ently a leg was thrust out at the dog. Three burglars were dug out from the bottom of the stack and taken to Yetter. Again Mrs. Clark telephoned the dog was frantic about something in the straw, A third time the posse returned. A farme climbed the pile of straw, and stepped on a burgiar the first thing, and instantly described a parabolic curve diving off. The other two bur- glors also showed themselves and an- nounced they would fight. The posso repaired to a barn, from which they besieged the stack. The men finally surrendered with their guns, nitroglycerin and all. Then the dog quit barking.—Philadelphia Ledger. Quaint English Custom. It is the custom of many Londoners to gather around St. Paul's cathedral on the last night df each year and sing “Auld Lang Syne” and other THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. more or less appropriate songs till 12 o'clock. As the Standard describes it: “There is no watch-night service at London’s great cathedral, no tolling of bells to speed the going, no joy- ous peal to greet the coming guest. Yhe crowd is left to provide its own sentiment. Slowly the clock-in the southwest tower chimes the four quarters, and then comes the deep boom which tells of the arrival of an- other year. There is a second or two of silence, and then a mighty cheer breaks out, friend grasps friend by the hand ard the time-honored wishes sre repeated over and over again. There is an indescribable something that gives a solemnity to the occasion. The surroundings, the traditions, whatever it may be, all tend to invest the scene with an importance of the moment.” When the Baby Comes Alona. 1 thought ‘twas hard—the tollin. tne tide a-pullin’ strong— But I shouted “Hallelujah!” when the baby came slong.

The advisability of a periodical medical examination of the apparent- ly bealthy man is considered by Dr. Alexander MacKenzie in the Detroit Medical Journal. He sums up his ar- ticle in these words: “Physfcians have a tremendous responsibility in keeping people well. Only a small percentage of people enjoy perfect health. Physicians should educate people in apparent health to the ne cessity of a periodical physical exam- ination. This examination, made at least yearly, should be careful and systematic, and should embrace all the approved chemical and microscop- fer] tests for the diagnosis of dis- exse.” A Literary Tragedy. Of a lengthy production, entitled, “The Century's Song,” the author writes: “The poem represents the work of twenty of the best years of my life, but it has been declined by all the publishers, and I am now in poverty and despair.” No wonder.

As the liner cleared the heads and the heavy swell of the open Atlantic became noticeable, dinner was served. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. The twenty-six places at the captain's table were filled and as the soup appeared the captain addressed his table companions. "I trust that all twenty-five of you will have a pleasant trip," he said, "and that this little assemblage of twenty-four will reach port much benefited by the voyage. I look upon the twenty-two smiling faces as a father upon his family, for I am responsible for the lives of this group of nineteen. I hope all fourteen of you will join me later in drinking to a merry trip. I believe we seven fellow passengers are admirably suited to each other, and I applaud the judgment which chose from the passenger list these three persons for my table. You and I, my dear sir, are—" The captain chuckled. "Here, steward, bring on my fish, and clear away these dishes."—Puck. Hamilton's Mild Praise of Wife. Here's the way Alexander Hamilton wrote of the young woman who soon afterwards became his wife, in a letter that Mr. J. P. Morgan has just added to his autograph collection: "She is a good-hearted girl, who, I am sure, will never play the termagant; though not a genius, she has good sense enough to be agreeable, and, though not a beauty, she has fine black eyes, is rather handsome, and has every other requisite of the exterior to make a lover happy. And, believe me, I am lover in earnest, although I do not speak of the perfections of my mistress in the enthusiasm of chivalry." Would the lady have been pleased, ladies, if she had looked over his shoulder while he was writing it?

Of Ccurse You Want THE SHORT LINE 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 trains fast and punctual Somebody Says That— When a woman asks a number of questions she is possessed of idle curiosity. When a man asks a number he is animated by a keen desire to improve his mind and enlarge his sphere of knowledge. That is just another one of the little differences between the sexes which ought to show a woman the utter impossibility of ever hoping to attain equality with man. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Waiter's Tip Half a Dollar Bill. To a man giving a dinner in a Times Square restaurant the other night the waiter was not as prompt as he might have been about the initial course. Instead of reprimanding him the host took a one-dollar bill, cut it in two with a penknife, and gave one-half to the astonished waiter. The other half he put back in his pocket. Not quite sure whether the remainder of the note was coming to him later, the waiter was efficiency itself for the remainder of the meal. That over, the host coolly led his guests into the street. "Pardon my curiosity," said one of them, "but what are you going to do with the half of that dollar bill? It is as useless to you as the waiter's is to him." "Not a bit of it," was the reply. "I intend dining in the same place tomorrow night, and I shall make it a point to get that same waiter. I shall let him see that I still have the remainder of his dollar bill and I'll bet you the cigars he will hustle to get it."—New York Times. Provided Handsomely for Pats Quite a large sum was left by Rajput prince some thirty years ago "for the maintenance in comfort" of his three favorite elephants and a pet tiger. A curious provision was that special trappings and cloths were to be provided for the elephants, while the tiger was to be regaled with a specially mentioned diet, and was to be provided with a solid gold collar studded with a large number of precious stones. Dislikes to Pass Under Ladder. Several years ago a San Francisco newspaper made a test of popular superstition by placing a high ladder directly across the sidewalk in such a manner that the multitude could easily pass under it. Four out of every ten walked out in the street rather than pass beneath it. An average of two out of the remaining six walked under it only through oversight, persuasion or after much consideration. Unflattering. Down at the Dyker Meadow Golf club one day this week was told a story of an old time candle. A certain member remarked to the carrier: "Sandy, I am playing against ——. How does he play?" "Canna play for nits," stolidly answered Sandy. "How many strokes can I give him?" cheerfully persisted the player. "Ye canna gie him ony!" was the laconic response.—Brooklyn Eagle. The Lions Fled. Addressing a Church House meeting, the Bishop of Chichester alluded to the prospects of Rhodesia, and told a good story of the Bishop of Mashonaland. His lordship, it apeared, once vanquished three lions by reading aloud to them the Thirty-nine Articles. On the bishop reaching the Article concerning justification by faith the lions turned and fled.—English exchange. Knows His Way Home. An elderly man who appeared as a witness in a London court could not tell the name of the street in which he lived or the number of the house. When the judge expressed surprise the witness said: "I didn't know there was any need to know, as long as I could find my way home." The Man and the Machine Mr. Alexander T.

Left Church After Venomous "Dig" at Preacher. F. Augustus Heinze, the young copper magnate, was describing a somewhat unseemly quarrel that had waged between two copper men. "The thing reminded me," he said "of an incident that occurred in my boyhood in a little Brooklyn church. "There was a rough and ready, abrupt sort of a preacher, preaching in this church one winter evening, when the door opened and a drunken tramp thrust in his head. "Everybody turned and looked at the tramp. His unkempt head alone was visible. It wagged and leered. "Come in,' said the preacher in his abrupt way. 'Come in and hear the gospel. "The tramp grinned awkwardly, and in silence accepted the invitation. He lurched down the gisle. between THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

"There he sat, a picture of wretchedness and depravity, and the minister preached eloquently on. "As bad luck would have it, the stove soon proved too much for the tramp. It made him ill. This illness outraged the preacher. "‘Put him out,’ he shouted. ‘Deacon Brodie, put that swine out at once.’ "The tramp did not wait to be put out. He rose at once and staggered to the door. In the doorway he paused, clapped on his hat, waved his hand to the congregation, and said: "'Such preachin' as that is enough to make a dog sick.'"—Buffalo Enquirer. "SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE." Popular Rhyme That Has Its Origin in Folklore. The Rev. John Howard, a Liverpool minister, recently explained the "Song of Sixpence" to his parishioners, and gave an interesting exposition of folklore, as follows: "Perhaps many who often repeat 'Sing a Song of Sixpence' have never heard this explanation of its meaning: The four-and-twenty blackbirds represent the four-and-twenty hours. The bottom of the pie is the world, while the top crust is the sky which overreached it. The opening of the pie is the day dawn, when the birds begin to sing, and surely such a sight is fit for a king.

Unconventional. "And you will wait for me, darling?" whispered the hero. The heroine studied the floor for a moment, then looked up with a glance that conveyed the impression that she was undecided. "You will wait for me?" the hero begged. No, gentle reader. Don't get all stirred up and fancy that the hero was off for the wars to wrest fame and glory on the hotly contested field, or was about to plunge head first into the maelstrom of business to wrench wealth from the grasping hands of the world, and then after many years come back and lay his honors and his fortune at the feet of this fair young idol of his affections. Keep cool, and listen to her. "I'll wait a little while, Percy," the heroine remarked, "but if you can't get here by 7 o'clock I'll go on down to the church social with pa and ma, and you can come up there to take me home. It's a shame you have to work after closing hours, isn't it?" Bear Tries to Lift Deer From Water. W. M. Kennedy, who has been in the lumbering business for a number of years past, tells of seeing a bear try to lift a live deer from the Magalloway river. When he discovered them, the bear had hold of the young buck's head with his teeth and was hanging on hard withi the aid or his claws. The deer swam for the shore, carrying the weight of the bear, but he swam directly into a trap in the crotch that was made by the boom. The bear made frantic efforts to get onto the logs and pull the deer after him. But the weight was too much. The bear was dispatched by Mr. Kennedy.—Maine Woods. Spend Money to Save Timber.

"Yes; he says all he ever got from the family tree was the bark." Pride In Work the Incentive. To feel within one's self the tendency toward a certain line of production, to learn the trade, i. e., submit the brain to the accumulated stimulus of that line of production--to feel the racial skill begin to flow through one's fingers--to do the thing well--better--best--and then, still unsatisfied, to relieve the pressure by new invention of ways even better than the best--that is the natural sensation of the producer.—Exchange.
