Newspaper Man Surely Has Woes Enough on Earth. The ignorance of the average citizen in regard to the inner workings of a newspaper is something remarkable. Some of them appear to think that everybody on the newspaper, from the office boy to the editor in chief, writes or is responsible for everything that appears in each number. It is not altogether an uncommon experience for a newspaper writer to be accosted on the street, and remonstrated with about a certain item that appeared in his paper. After a brief cross-examination, it becomes apparent that the item referred to was a dispatch from some distant quarter of the globe. Surely, the overworked newspaper man has a lot to put up with. He should have an easy "sit" in the hereafter, whether he works on a giltleaf journal, published in Paradise, or an asbestos sheet, published somewhere else.—Los Angeles Times. What is the psychological reason which makes women prolong good-bys? asks the Brookline Times. Mrs. G. B. Carpenter, president of the Chicago Woman's Club, says: "I should say that it is because woman, as a rule, does not think out logically what she says and does not concentrate her mind upon one line of thought. When one woman meets another she does not do as a man would and gather together in her mind the things she wants to say to this particular person. She has not made any inventory of them and consequently she begins hit or miss. Then, when it has apparently all been said, she thinks of something else. So she hastily calls her friend back. Perhaps, or rather probably, the other woman does the same thing and so good-bys multiply." Everything in Its Place. She—I hid a $5 bill in the dictionary yesterday and I can't find it anywhere. He—Did you look among the other Vs. dear? NO.71 Why Good-Bys Multiply. HOW MARTHA GOT RELIGION. "Mammy's" Efforts of Great Assistance in the Case. I was seated one evening in the warehouse of a friend in the quaint old town of Newberne, North Carolina. On the opposite side of the street was an African church in which a revival meeting was being held. From the partly opened windows came the sound of shouts and the usual melodies of the colored race. Suddenly the door opened and three young colored women emerged therefrom. The one in the middle was being supported by her companions on either side and her arms were swinging in the air, and as they walked along the street she shouted in wild emotion something that sounded like "Got salvation! Foun' my Savior! Hol' onto my Lawd!" and was led away by her friends. Cleaning up the office in the corner of the warehouse was an old colored women. Turning to her I said: "Auntie, what is the matter with that girl?" "Why, bless your soul, chile!" Auntie responded quickly, "don't you know what's the matter with her? Why, she's got 'ligion! But she ain't got it half as bad as some people has. Had to hol' my Marfa down for 'n hour and a half when she got it." I said: "Is that so Auntie? Did Martha keep it?" "Oh, yes, she's kept it; lost it once; but she got it again." "How did she get it again?" "Well, sir, I just done licked it into her."—"The Sunday Magazine." PESTS OF CITY STREETS. Beggars who feign diseases are no new thing in the streets of London. They existed in Charles II's time, only then the beggar was called a "ruffler," a "huff" or a "shabbaroon." If he was deaf and dumb he was called a "dummerer." The woman who sung hymns and led borrowed children by the hand was called a "clapperdozen." Vagrancy is no new thing, though it practically did not exist in mediaeval times. It was when the cities ceased to be confined within their own walls, and long before the days of policemen, that the people get beyond the control of the aldermen and their officers and vagrancy became a regular profession. The first English law against beggars was made by Henry VIII, who gave licenses to beg to the old and impotent and ordered that all other beggars should be whipped and sent back to their parishes. MAN'S UNREASONABLENESS is often as great as woman's. But Thos. S. Austin, Mgr. of the "Republican," of Leavenworth, Ind., was not unreasonable when he refused to allow the doctors to operate on his wife for female trouble. "Instead," he says, "We concluded to try Electric Bitters. My wife was then so sick she could hardly leave her bed and five physicians had failed to relieve her. After taking Electric Bitter she was perfectly cured and can now perform all her household duties." Guaranteed by Jas Hullinger & Co., druggists at 23d and Larimer Street. Price 50c.

This story has been told times enough to be true, and I presume it is Several years ago there lived at North Paris, Me., a prosperous farmer by the Name of Abner Benson, who was @ good Methodist, and also a member of the grange. The grange meetiigs Were held in the church as well as ‘ac religious meetings, and this fact wae the cause of the fellowing contra temps: Abner was a red face, portly man of rather pompous appe+rance. The four words, “he Knew it all,” might have described him very well. One afternoon as he was riding past the church he noticed that a meeting was being held there, and, not knowing that any church meetiag had been called, he at once took ‘t for granted that it must be a grange meeting. He hitched his horse, went into the ‘entry and knocked on the door, after the fashion of the grangers and, as it happened, “the doorkesrer of the grange was there, and on hearing a knocking, got up and opened the door, whereupon Abner stepped in, and,with & pompous bow and flourish, gave, in a Voice loud enough to reach every ear in the church, the granso password, “Cul-ti-va-tor!” “Cwetlwator!” You can imagine the smile teat iluminat: ed that Methodist class meeting.-- Roston Herald. Practical Joke on a Minister. Not a few preachers would be glad to be the victims oc: such a practical joke as was recent!; played upon the Rey. Mr. Hagerman of Oxford, Mich. At the annual meeting of the church of which he is pastor the question of hiring a preacher comes up for dis- enssion. At the last meeting of this society, when the subject was brought up, a good deacon arose and said: “All those in favor of retaining Brother Hage- man for another year—at the same Salary—will please rise.” Not a person rose, and the minister, who was present, felt as uncomforta- ble as possible, and heartily wished himself anywhere else. Then the good deacon who had put the question arose again and said, with a twinkle of the eye: “I see no one fayors that mo- tion, so I will put it again in this way: All those in favor of keeping the Rev. Mr. Hageman at an increased salary—- will please rise.” z Everyone got upon his feet. Then {t dawned upon Mr. Hageman that pe had been the victim of a joke, and-a smile lighted his eyes and the color returned to his cheeks. Some of his best friends had planned the surprise, and the little scheme had worked to perfection —The Ram's Horn. What a Desert Waste Is. The pupils of a sixth grade in Bos- ton school were taking an examination {n geography. One large girl, remark- able for her dullness, had been unable to answer a single question until the following was written upon the black- board: “What is a desert waste?” After reading this she seized her pen and wrote rapidly. Her teacher, filled with curiosity, passed down the aisle, and this is what she found upon the girl's paper: “A desert waist fs where no man fs." A Fortunate Citizen. “I won't pay any taxes on a house any more.” “Why not?” “Cyclone blowed it clean into the next settlement.” “How about the land?” “I don't know yet; but a man as fortunate as I am may confidently ex- pect an earthquake to come along and swaller it; then I'll look for a big rain to fill the hole in the ground and start a fishing industry."—At lanta Consti- ution. Vain excuses only aggravate the gravity of an offense. Push a worthy enterprise as far as circumstances will permit. Temper your feelings to the condi Won of the one who bas offended. It is a mistake to force a good thing Into service where it has no place. Show mercy to the oppressed as you hope to have it extended to you. Remember that others are striving as hard as you to make both ends meet. Frequent reference to a charitable deed gives it the appearance of a com- monplace act. Never pronounce the verdict of guilty until given the most positive evidencs of its eaistence. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. COMING EVENTS Who are the Right Hand Sisters of Arapahoe OddFellows? Come out Nov. 9 to Manitou Hall and you will see the latest attraction. The one big event which is at hand is the entertainment to be given next Thursday night at Manitou Hall by the Odd Fellows of Arapahoe Lodge. This affair deserves the fullest patronage because of the purpose for which it is given no less than for the merit it has. This lodge set the pace for all colored organizations in the west in the matter of securing a home of its own and has thus far asked no assistance of the public in meeting its obligations. Now it has only several hundred dollars to pay and is making a grand rally. Some of the city's best talent will appear in this worthy cause. A program of unusual merit will be rendered. Added to this is a unique attraction in an art display by Charles Lightner. He is one of the best of local painters and has some canvasses which are of more than local renown. At the close the Harris Orchestra will fill out the evening's entertainment. The price is only 35 cents and it would seem that every one would patronize the event for the sake of the good it would do. Why He Preferred a Curate. Dr. Lang, the popular bishop of Stepney, was formerly honorable chaplain to Queen Victoria, and a good story is told of an interview he once had with her majesty. "I hear, Mr. Lang," said the queen, "excellent accounts of your work at Portsea, and I find that you actually keep a staff of twelve curates. You should take to yourself a wife. I believe you would be able to do with at least two curates less." "Ah, no madam," was the prompt reply, which greatly amused the queen, "that would scarcely do; if I have a curate who does not suit I can get rid of him, but I could not do the same with a wife." Ringing the Date. A curiosity in the matter of bellringing is to met with at Fulburne, near Cambridge, Eng. The church bells there not only ring the hours of the day, but at intervals also the date of the month. Thus, at 12 o'clock noon on the 31st there would be forty-three strokes. Mascagni's Sincerity. Mascagni, the celebrated composer, is one of the most energetic of musicians. The work he gets through is simply marvelous. His earnestness and fervor in conducting is so tremendous that at the end of an act he is noticed often to be in a profuse perspiration. "How do you always manage to come back for the next act looking so cool again?" a friend asked him recently. "I change every stitch," replied the man of music, "and have a thorough rub-down between each act. It is the only way in which I can get through the evening." The Change in Jim. They said that Jim was lazy, an' he did appear to be A little bit a-workin' in the harvest field with me; He couldn't, like the other hands, git started in the swim, Until I lost my patience, and I had to fire him. From there he went to Amosville an' got in Mortley's shop. An' sailed into the bizness like a reaper through the crop. Took hold of things in earnest—made a good mechanic, too. Till Mort remarked: "I don't see how he ever loafed fer you." An' which is why I want to say that lots of laziness Depends upon the job a man is workin' at. I guess. Just give a man the job he likes, like Jim liked in the shop. An' nine times out o' ten, I guess, the laziness 'll stop. —Detroit Tribune. It is a grand tribute to the self-restraint of the sex that even the broad mirror behind the bar has never induced the ladies to break into those male sanctuaries we call saloons.—New Orleans Time-Democrat COURSES: One Way to Avoid Wrinkles. One Way to Avoid Wrinkles. Four-year-old Alice had been to visit a very aged lady, whose face was badly wrinkled. On returning home she climbed into her aunt's lap, and, looking at her intently, queried: "What makes Grandma Barker's face all wrinkled?" "Because she is very old, dearie," was the reply. "Will your nice, smoove face be like her's when you get to be old, auntie?" asked the child soberly. "Yes, darling," said the aunt, sighing in anticipation of her lost charms. "Oh, well, auntie, don't feel bad," exclaimed the child. "Maybe you'll die pitty quick!" If you and you then you WANT Music the best to get The Harris Orchestra Seven Selected Soloists J. C.

All trains fast and punctual Vases Bring High Prices. Recently in London a cracked Chinese vase brought at auction $10,000 and a Sevres vase in two minutes was run up to $20,000. These are large figures, but ten years ago a Dodin oriform vase brought $25,000, and thirty years ago another Sevres vase brought over $50,000. Collectors in the past decade have been studying to differentiate the products of the various Chinese dynasties, with the result that K'ang-hsi black-ground vases, such as the cracked vase just sold, enameled with green tracings of decorative foliage and figures, have become extremely valuable. A perfect set of them is very rare. The $10,000 vase is seventeen and one-half inches high. Gen. Sheridan and Texas. While in Texas not long ago James Barton Adams, the author, fell in with an old cattleman who sang without end the praises of the lone star state. "You are not of the same opinion as regards Texas that Sheridan was," observed Adams. "What opinion was that?" queried the cattleman. "Why, he said that if he owned a farm in Texas and one in hades he'd sell the one in Texas, as he would rather live in hades." "No, I ain't of that opinion," observed the cattleman, thoughtfully, "and I'll bet Sheridan has changed his mind by this time." British Aristocrats in Trade.

The Riggs house has been the home of many postoffice inspectors for the past days, called here by the Machen trial, says the Washington Post. In the evenings they campare notes and talk of their experiences with that element of society which tries to get something for nothing through the agency of the mails. "It's queer how easy the public bites at the bait these sharpers throw out," said a veteran inspector whose home is in the far west. "The explanation, of course, lies in the cupidity of mankind. An appeal to greed, if plausibly announced, rarely fails and land victims. No matter how old the scheme is, nor how often it has been exposed in the newspapers, it will still succeed in separating fools and their cash. But, of course, the fertile minds of the crooks have to get up something new in order to get larger revenues. "One of the comparatively recent tricks, and one of the hardest to frustrate, is the plan of selling stock in mythical rubber and coffee plantations that are generally located in Mexico. This applies to mines, but not so numerously. "Now here is where the shrewdness of the fakers comes in. By making Mexico the scene of their operations they can ward off exposure much longer. It is a long and expensive journey down there and even after an inspector gets on the ground he may have numerous difficulties put in his way before he can uncover the rascality. For a while, moreover, the innocent dupes are getting dividends, which they imagine are coming out of the sales of the products of the alleged rubber or coffee plantations. This is to lure other victims and is part of the game. A little of the capital of the victim is returned in order to get more. "The matrimonial fraud, too, hoary with age, is still being operated to the financial loss of many credulous citizens of both sexes. An Omaha rascal employed it very effectively, and fleeced unsophisticated men who were willing to take his niece, a 'beautiful, but unfortunate girl' with a big inheritance, the fleecing amounting to not less than $50 per victim. This swindler's work was artistic in the extreme, as was that of a woman, who styled herself 'Mrs. Collins,' who had men in every part of the union sending her money to pay traveling expenses for herself and ward to St. Louis, not that there was any lack of funds on her part, but to show good faith in those who bit at the scheme. Both Omaha man and 'Mrs. Collins' were caught and both went over the road. "The smaller cities, even those of the size of Washington, offer but little opportunity for this species of grafter. It requires a big town like New York or Chicago, for the crook, after suspicion is aroused and the law gets on his trail, must bury himself for a while, and he can't do this successfully, except in densely populated centers. New York, indeed, is the paradise for the mail-employing fraternity which lives on the guillibility of their fellows." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. PARTITION OF TIN CANS. Good Use Army Surgeon in Phillippines Made of Refuse. A new use has been found for old tin cans. Capt. Rebert, an army surgeon, attached to a command in Samar, in the Philippines, discovered it. An account says: "The hospital at Borongon was a native two-story house, the best in the place, but without partitions. It was desirable that there should be an operating room separated from the other rooms, but it was impossible to obtain lumber for the necessary partitions. It occurred to Capt. Rebert to utilize the tin cans which had been emptied of hard tack and other portions of the army ration. A lot of tin cans were trimmed and cleated into square sheets and these were then nailed on framework. In this way enough material was obtained to partition off a practically metal-lined, dust-proof room nine feet by twelve, which was then fitted with a washstand, sterilizing tables and shelves for dressing, all of which, together with the door, were made by men of the command from odd bits of lumber picked up on the 'hike.'" RUSK8 GAVE HIM INSPIRATION. Aided Wagner Greatly in Composition of "Tristan." At last Wagner was possessed by "das furchtbare Sehnen," which was essential to the composition of Acts II. and III. of "Tristan." On Nov. 1 he even had thoughts of suicide. He wrote the music with the gold pen presented to him by Mathilde. The third act was written with as great passion as the second. Wagner in his uncomfortable hotel at Lucerne became Tristan tossing on his couch at Kareol. Then we find him weeping while he composes Kurwenal's words, "Auf eig'ner Weid' und Wonne," etc. On May 9, however, he had been sticking for a week over the passage preceding "Sterbend lag ich stumm im Kahn," but the provident Mathilde sent him a package of zwieback. He dipped the "sweet, familiar rusks" in milk and consumed them, and the gates of inspiration were opened again. "God, what the proper rusk can do!" he exclaims. Thuz "Tristan" was composed.—Wagner's Letters to Mathilde Wesendonck. The Shearing. The day they cut the baby's hair The house was all a-fidget; Such fuss they made, you would have said He was a king—the midget! Some wanted this, some wanted that; Some thought that it was dreadful To lay a hand upon one strand Of all that precious headful. While others said, to leave his curls Would be the height of folly, Unless they put him with the girls And called him Sue or Molly. The barber's shears went snip-a-snip, The golden fluff was flying; Grandmother had a trembling lip, And aunt was almost crying. The men folks said, "Why, hello, Boss, You're liking five years older!" But mother laid the shaven head Close, close against her shoulder. Ah, well; the nest must lose its birds, The cradle yield its treasure; Time will not stay a single day For any pleader's pleasure. And when that hour's work was weighed The scales were even, maybe; For father gained a little man When mother lost her baby! —Nancy Byrd Turner, in St. Nicholas.

Sheriff Nelson of Green county has taken to the Kansas penitentiary John F. Yates, a farmer, for the murder of William Hughes, a wealthy cattleman, last July. Yates was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary in the District court at Mangum three weeks ago, says the Kansas City Journal, but was allowed to prove up his homestead and provide for his family so they could live in comfort during the three years he is in the penitentiary. Last Saturday night Yates went to Sheriff Nelson and said he was ready to begin his sentence. He was not manacled as he rode on the train on the way to Lansing, Kan., but sat in the seat with the sheriff as any other citizen might. The killing of Hughes was the result of an old free-range quarrel out in the new country. Yates was arrested and placed in jail. His bond was fixed at $20,000, the judge thinking that amount would be more than KNIGHTS OF ATHENA WILL GIVE A curlesque AND A and Promenade Conc promenade will start at 10 who are not on time will be but if you can make it at 8; be admitted for 35c and see without additional charge.

Yates was released on bond, however, before the end of the week. A group of farmers who were his friends qualified for more than twice that amount. Judge Irwin announced the sentence and asked Yates if he had anything to say. Yates said the sentence was just and that he would serve it. He said, however, he lacked a short time of having proved up his homestead, and asked to be with his family two weeks longer. Judge Irwin granted the request.

I'd sing the softness of your voice, The sweetness of your face, And then in glowing words depict Your loveliness and grace. I'd sing the charm your presence has, The beauty of your form, The witchery of your rounded arms, So shapely, soft and warm. I'd sing your cleverness and tact, Your brightness and your wit, And every day find some new charm That I might sing of it. Oh, that I knew the poet's art, As happier lovers do. That I might choose each choicest phrase, And sing a song to you! —Somerville Journal In one act BRAIN WORK AND BEAUTY. English Specialist Thinks They Cannot Go Together. According to an English specialist who has made a careful study of the subject, the reason why women are better looking than men is because they are more indolent and are not called upon to use their brains as much as men are. Hard intellectual work and assiduous attention to business, he says, are harmful so far as physical beauty is concerned. As proof that his theory is correct, he points to the Zaros, whose home is in British India. Among them women hold the place which in other countries is occupied by men. The Zaro woman manages the affairs of state, goes into business on her own account, and does not wait for a proposal of marriage, but proposes herself; whereas the Zaro man has nothing to do but cook the meals and look after his children. The natural results, says the scientist, is that the men of this singular tribe are very pretty and the women are unusually plain. NOT OF HIS FLOCK. Parishioner Had Wandered From Pastor's Jurisdiction. Back half a century ago the Rev. Dr. Moore of the Congregational church at Milford, N. H., was known far and wide for his ready wit, expressed in his quaint, lisping way. One of his parishioners, taking offense at something, left the congregation and attended another church. Every Sunday morning the man met Dr. Moore on the way to his pulpit, and was always greeted with a cheery "good morning," instead of a rebuke, as he expected. At last, when he could stand it no longer, he stopped, and, in reply to the doctor's salutation, asked: "Doctor, don't you think as a pastor it is your duty to look after the wandering sheep of your flock?" "Oh, yeth, thir, yeth thir," promptly replied the doctor; "I always look after the sheep, but I've nothing to do with the goats." It Roused Him. An action was being tried before Lord Coleridge for damages for the death of a sheep dog, a winner of many prizes at bench shows, and counsel for the defense was endeavoring to show that the dog had "had his day" and that damages should be nominal. Lord Coleridge, however, was sweetly slumbering, and counsel felt the necessity of rousing him, if possible. So, gradually raising his voice, he asked one of the plaintiff's witnesses: "Is it not your experience as an exhibitor that when an old dog has taken his place regularly on the bench for many years, he gets sleepy and past his work?" The laughter that followed had the desired effect. Westminster Gazette. The Brown and Black of It. The pretty little village of Princeton, Me., boasted of but one negro. He was a great favorite with the farmers and other natives who frequented the corner grocery. One day a Mr. Brown, who was an extremely dark-complexioned gentleman, met the old colored man in the store. They were talking on one of the topics of the day, when Mr. Brown said: "Oh, to change the subject, Billy, what is it makes you so black?" "Well," replied Billy, with merry eyes, "I Jes' lives be black as a berry as dark Brown." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. COSTLIEST MITER IN LAND. Bishop Vroestmann Wears One Studded With Valuable Jewels. The most costly miter in the United States—a miter which represents $10,600 worth of jewels and precious stones—is worn by Bishop Horstmann of the Cleveland diocese of the Roman Catholic church. The bishop by virtue of his office is custodian of the miter, which is the property of the church. The extreme costliness of the jeweled headdress is equaled by its artistic excellence and interesting history. The gems which adorn the crown were the gift of Mrs. W. J. Gordon, wife of the late multimillionaire. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were close personal friends of the late Bishop Gilmour, Bishop Horstmann's predecessor, and during Mrs. Gordon's last illness she directed that her jewel box be given to the bishop and that its contents be used for a miter. Later, Mr. Gordon added the jewels of his dead daughter to the collection, and when he was shown a water color of the miter as it would appear when finished he was so delighted that he agreed to bear the expense of making it. The emblem is so thickly incrusted with the gems that its fabric, white moire antique, is barely visible. The jewels are diamonds and seed pearls, amethysts, turquoises, topazes and garnets. The cruciform design is outlined with a pearl necklace and a large diamond cross is placed in the center. LONG SIEGES IN HISTORY. Some Gallant Defenses Made by Beleaguered Garrisons. The longest siege of antiquity was that of Ashdod by the Egyptians. According to one authority it lasted nineteen years. Another fixes it at twenty-nine years. Fabled Troy was besieged for ten years. The siege of Jerusalem by Titus, A. D. 70, though not the longest, was the most sanguinary on record. Syracuse, 214 B. C., held out against the Romans for three years, and Carthage resisted them, 147 B. C., for two years. Famous among sieges was that of Parma, which capitulated in 1585 after a year's investment. Candia, in Crete, surrendered to the Turks in 1669 after a siege of twenty-four years, during which, it is said, 200,000 were slain. Gibraltar successfully resisted the Spaniards and French from July 16, 1779, to Feb. 8, 1783. Among modern sieges that of Sevastopol, 1854-55, is interesting, inasmuch as the besieged were Russians. Sevastopol and Port Arthur are seaports. When the former was invested the Russians blockaded the harbor with sunken battleships. When the evacuation took place they sank all of their remaining ships. The siege of Sevastopol lasted 349 days, during which the besieged were heavily reinforced. Cheap Sight-seeing.

Amusement 300 Years Ago Just 300 years ago King James 1. of England visited the lions then kept in London tower—the show from which is derived "the lions" in the sense of the sights of a place. The king had an arena built on to their cages for fights with bears, dogs and bulls; but the two lions that entered it on this day simply stood blinking. Two "racks of mutton" and "a lusty live cock" were successively thrown to them and devoured. "After this the king caused a live lamb to be easily let down unto them by a rope, and being come to the ground the lamb lay upon his knees and both the lions stood in their former places and only beheld the lamb; but presently the lamb rose up and went unto the lions, which very gently looked upon him and smelled on him, without sign of any further hurt." However, a lion- and-mastiff fight that followed was better "sport." English Free Library. The borough of Southwark, England is about to inaugurate the open bookshelf in its public libraries. Taxpayers and others who register their names as borrowers will be allowed to enter the libraries and take down from the shelves the books they require without reference to the attendants. Comes of Fighting Race. Baron Fersen, captain of the Russian cruiser Izumrud—who reported to the czar having blown up his vessel rather than have her fall into the hands of the Japanese—has just that sort of blood in his veins. For he is one of that family of Highland Macphersons who settled in Sweden, where they dropped the "Mac," called themselves Fersen, and afterward overflowed into Russia, where they rose to high position. The most illustrious of the line was that Field Marshal Count von Fersen, who entered the French service and played a considerable role in the life of Marie Antoinette. It was he who, disguised as a coachman, drove the French royal couple in the flight to Varenne. He was afterward murdered by a Stockholm mob on suspicion of having poisoned the crown prince of Sweden. Coincidence in Lives. Capt. N. M. Brooks, superintendent of foreign mails in the postoffice department of the government, was born on the same day as President McKinley. They were each the seventh child of their parents, entered the army together at the age of 18, and were mustered out of the service on the same day. On the 31st of July Capt. Brooks will have seen thirty-three years of continuous service in the postoffice department. Personal Bricfs, Who They Are, What They Are and Where They Are.

THE DORCAS DARNER—For mending stockings, This is one of the most wonderful inventions of the century, adapted for use on any sewing machine. Some reasons why you should use a Dorcas Darner: It saves time and may be used by anyone who can sew on a machine. It is strong and durable, never wears out, is always ready. A most surprising number of stockings may be darned ina very short time. No roughness or ridges to hurt the most tender feet. When a stocking is thin it may be strengthened by stitching with the Dar- ner and its wearing tima prolonged. The Doreas Darner also ren- ders excellent service in mending table linens, S. L.

A small crowd attended the ball given Tuesday evening by the Carna tion Club. The arrangements were perfect and those who were present had no reason to regret their trip but the inclemency of the weather doubt- less prevented such a crowd as the event deserved. One of the new projects is meeting with signal success. Only three weeks ago a dressmaking parlor was opened at 18th and Glenarm streets by two well known ladies, known as the Ideal Dress Making Parlors. Madam McGruder and Mrs, Ernest Carpenter are the owners. They fit- ted it up with neatness and complete- ness and have since been fairly deluged with trade. They seem des tined to make good at this venture, for they have set as their standard the very best that can be done.

CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 23.—"Negroes, Negroes everywhere, and not a Negro man to work-is the plight of the South." The foregoing is the first line of an article in The Chicago Tribune of Sunday before last, under the heading: "South Cries for Workers." Complaint is made of the Afro-American as a worker in the South: (1)—That he is willing to work at exceptionally high wages about half of the time. In railroad work, the colored man averages about twelve days each per month, although the wages are from $1.50 to $200 per day. (2)—That, unlike the white la orer, "the efficiency of the Negro laborer does not increase with an increase of wages." (3)—The Negro works "only long enough for actual and immediate maintenance." (4)—In Mobile county, Ala., "the Negro's shiftlessness is reflected in the annual reports, which show that for the average fiscal period more than one-half have been buried as paupers at the public expense." (5)—The South's industrial expansion has produced a labor demand which is supplied neither by natural increase of natives or by the arrival of --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

There may be some error in the sweeping arraignment of the southern Negro, but there is enough of truth in the foregoing to cause a sad gloom to settle on even the most optimistic of us when we think of the wasted opportunities. All may not be as dark and hopeless as would seem from the severe criticisms we receive but the hundreds of Negroes who are perennially idle, the many children who are kept in school only by the truancy laws, the wretched use which is made of education on the part of a large class bring home with crushing force the thought that the President stated so well, that duty comes before rights. It is a long way from emancipation to equality. The journey is amid many besetments and requires the best that we can offer. Organization is an old cry and is urged as a panacea for our ills. If we will put our best into it of brain and manhood it can accomplish wonders. Let us talk it over by twos and threes and then wield the advanced thought, the sacrifice, the spirit to do that exist among us into an organization.
