THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. VOL. XV. MOVEMENT. To Work Under Law, to Change Law Is the Idea of Niagara Movement Says Noted Publicist in Great Unitarian Weekly. By R. L. Bridgman, in the Christian Register (Unitarian), Boston, July 27, 1905. "Work under law to change law," as expressed by one of the leaders in the Negro conference at Buffalo, which resulted in "the Niagara Movement" and the address to the people of the United States, gives briefly and broadly the purpose of the men who were prominent there. The movement is widespread and of slow growth. It is about four years since the agitation began which has led to the issue of the address, and now as it is put, "the beginning of the work has just come, for the work really begins only as the leaders at Buffalo return to their respective states and try to carry out their plans." Prof. William E. B. Dubois of Atlanta university is the leader in the movement, but he has been urged to take the leadership by prominent men of his race in all parts of the country who believe that the time is critical for the preservation of the manhood and political standing of the Negro race. The movement grows out of a growing conviction on the part of many prominent Negroes that the time for action has come. Prof. Dubois was the writer of the address which was signed by a committee of five, of whom he was the chairman. It was adopted unanimously by the conference. The "Niagara Movement," as they have named it, is organized in fourteen states, and has a beginning in ten more. Its prime purpose is to cultivate self-respect and self-reliance, to eradicate race faults and vices, and to stimulate effort to maintain equality before the law with other races. Necessarily this program takes the Negroes into politics. But they do not propose revolution, save as they make it peaceably. They admit that the laws are against them, but they propose to obey the laws. They propose that the blacks agitate for a reform of the laws so that they will be given equality before the laws. Not a word is said about social equality. In talking with an earnest leader who is pushing the movement, he never alluded in the slightest to any social consideration, and clearly it did not enter his mind for a moment. Social equality with the whites is not one of the dreams of these men. Political equality they demand because it is a right of manhood. They demand that the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution be enforced. They admit that the conditions in recent years have been working against the Negro. They find, North as well as South, a disposition to deny the Negro more and DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, DEC. 1, 1905. more of his social and political standing, both, as a man. Surrender on his part has been accompanied by further intolerance on the part of the whites. Nothing has been gained by conceding the points in dispute. The loss of manhood and of prestige has continued in company with, if not in consequence of, the policy of surrendering the points contested by the whites. These leaders believe that they have been surrendering their manhood, and that their surrender is, in part, the cause and the provocation of the further aggressions against the race. There is nothing to be gained, they believe, from a further pursuit of the policy of temporizing and yielding their highest rights. Manhood, recognition before the law of their rights as men and as citizens whom the laws are bound to protect, justice—these are their objects. They believe that they will secure the respect of the whites and the recognition of their rights by refusing to yield further and by demanding their own. Hence they have issued the Niagara platform. They say that they have counted the cost, that they know that it will be a long agitation, that for some of their number it may mean loss of prosperity, and to some it may mean death. But they see no more reasonable way of advance. Under the law they will work to secure the reforms which will recognize their rights as men. Naturally they favor such action by congress as will carry out the civil war amendments to the constitution. Naturally this new movement will tend to ally the Negroes with the Republican party; but the movement, as such, is absolutely non-partisan: It is admitted, however, that, if the Republicans should fail to give the Negroes justice, they might, as a means of dealing effectively with the party, vote with the Democrats. But the historic alliance of the Negroes with the Republicans is likely to be the first reliance of the leaders Other sides of the movement, however, will have large attention according to the nature of the problems in the different states. It is proposed to do what can be done to stimulate the race to mental exertion and to moral advance. Committees in the different states will study their local circumstances, and such activities will be undertaken as will help most in these Melds. The movement is one which appeals more to the highest and best in the race than any which has hitherto been attempted, and the leaders who have issued this address believe that their assertion of manhood, of their rights, and of their duties, will command the respect of the whites more than further yielding of these essentials of manhood. For four days the conference was in session. The situation was discussed with thoroughness. The leaders knew that they had back of them a large State Historian & Nat ural Historg Societ TESA WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND ADO, FRIDAY, DEC. 1, 1905. constituency before they met. For some years pressure has been put upon Prof. Dubois to take the leadership in such a movement as this. Correspondence has been carried on between Negro leaders in all parts of the country. Evidence has been secured that the Negroes of the South sympathize largely with the spirit which is in this movement. The step which led directly to this conference was taken by Fred L. McGhee, one of the prominent Negroes of Minneapolis, who wrote to Prof. Dubois urging him to go forward with the movement. With the general pressure to the same effect, this Buffalo conference was the outcome in due time. It is said particularly that this movement is not antagonizing any person or any class. It is essentially a constructive movement. It criticises no one, but demands rights. It proposes to agitate until those rights are secured. It makes no apology. It asks no favors. It demands justice, and comes before the people of the United States in the attitude of one full of self-respect, insisting that right, only right, be given. It realizes the conditions in the Southern states. It sees that, with the disappearance of the old generation, the rights of the blacks are less esteemed than before. The case is hopeless if the present policy is continued. The leaders believe that the refrom must come from the race itself, not be conferred by grace of the whites. So the country sees today this assertion of manhood and of self-respect, coming as the most important political movement among the black race since the close of the civil war, looking to severe opposition, but entering the future with patience, loyalty to law and strong resolution, determined to win the common rights of manhood, and to enjoy no rest until substantial political equality before the law shall have been obtained. This is the view of the situation as given by William Monroe Trotter of Boston, one of the five signers of the address to the country. The Massachusetts delegates to the conference are leading men, especially Rev. William H. Scott of Woburn, who has been prominent for years in public spirited movements. Those in the other states are of the same class. They have been a long time coming to their present position. They feel forced to it by their confidence that any other policy would be a mistake. They propose to keep in touch with each other through their state committees. Their plan is to hold annual conferences for comparison of results and for planning for the future, and they are confident that they will have a great power for elevation upon the 10,000,000 of their race, as they assert their number to be. They are full of energy, without boasting, and are looking for results, not for publicity of themselves. --- NO.77 LOST THE BASS DRUM. Absolute Proof That Such a Thing Is Possible. The man who lost the bass drum has been found. Newspaper paragraphers have made merry with the absent-minded man, and he has been accused of all sorts of deeds of omission and commission. Therefore some of the stories told at his expense have been taken in a Pickwickian sense. The tale that a man said he was so absent-minded that at one time he lost a bass drum has always been considered a mere joke. Originally this story may have been a fable, but now it is true. A man has actually lost a bass drum, and all the members of an Iowa band will bear witness to the fact. It happened near Davenport a few Sundays ago. There was a celebration at Davenport and an up country band had arranged to take part in the festivities. The train stopped at the station just a moment, and the members of the band piled into the smoker with their instruments and their regalia. Just as the train was moving away a fat, red-nosed man grasped the rail and swung aboard. Then he turned pale and gasped. "Where's my drum?" he cried, as his eyes bulged and his knees shook. "I saw it on the depot platform," said the trombone player. "Suffering cornhusks! I forgot it!" When the band began business at Davenport it labored under a handicap, and the bass drummer was not a popular member of the aggregation. Too True to Nature. "All the mechanical toys you make seem to be very successful." "Yes," said the inventor, "I've only had one failure." "What was the matter with that?" "Too realistic. It was a boy tramp and it wouldn't work."—Stray Stories. Sale of Zola's Effects.

No Heaven for Colored Man THE COLOR LINE IN HEAVEN. (Written expressly for The Statesman.) So much has been said and written about the color line on earth, that one would hardly expect to find anything of it in the great "Up Yonder," and yet—and yet, lo! and behold, it was there temporarily at the gate of the City Beautiful for the space of ten or twenty minutes—once. It happened on this wise: Kunnel Fairfax of Southampton, Virginia, one of the F. F. V.'s, known far and wide for his radical views on the subject of Negro equality, and who maintained with a vigor and positiveness which left no room for doubt that the Nigra wuz an animal, that he never did and never could belong to the human family, and therefore could never rank as the equal of the white man, that God in His wise Providence intended the Nigra to be a servant, a hewer of wood and a drawer of water, that his "natural normal condition was that of subordination to the superior race." The colonel always enforced these views with many picturesque adjectives which would not look well in print, and then he would take out his silver-mounted snuff-box and fill his nostrils with Rapee, adding, as a parting shot: "By Gad, sah, Ah kno's whereof Ah speaks. The Scriptures air my authority, an' will bar out all Ah have stated. The Nigra is not even a subject of nat'ral hist'ry. He cum fum nowhar an' we got him; he's our'n, predestined fum de beginning, sah, to wait on us white people, w'ich is th' s'perior race—God-blessed and invincible, onconquered an' onconquerable, sah. Tell me 'bout the Nigra bein' the ekal of a white man, sah. I'm s'prised at yo' ignunce!" In the fullness of time, Kunnel Fairfax laid down one day to rise up no more of his own volition, and was planted in the six feet of earth that makes us all of one size. Arriving at the pearly gates of the City Beautiful, he alarmed the outer gate, and St. Peter, the venerable gatekeeper, approached and desired to know the nature of his business. Advancing a few steps toward St. Peter, the colonel asked if that was the gate of heaven? "It is," answered St. Peter. "Well, Ah'd lak ve'y much for to git in," said the colonel. "Ah bin travelin' a long time an' Ahm v'ry tiahed an' thusty." "Where do you hail from, my good friend, and by what right do you seek admittance here?" "Ah hail fum Ferginny, an' Ahm Kunnel Fairfax, sah; a white man." St. Peter stepped back into the little lodge at the gate, and taking down a big record book, ran his eye quickly down the columns of the F's, and found this record: "Colonel James Winter Fairfax: Man stealer, slave owner, very cruel master, guilty of scourging and killing many of the saints who have come up through great trials and THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. tribulations, and whose robes have been washed in the blood of the lamb—ineligible." St. Peter informed his visitor that he had found a record concerning him which showed that he was ineligible—persona non grata, and that therefore he could not admit him. "Huccum thet" asked the colonel, anxiously. "Well, the record shows that you were a man-stealer, an owner of slaves; that you were cruel to them, beating and killing them from time to time, thus inviting the wrath of God." "Air the Almighty koing' to keep a white man out'n heaven jes' fer killin' a few wuthless Nigras, sah?" "A Negro's life is just as precious in His sight as a white man's, (as you style yourself, sir). Their souls are immortal and they are God's children. He loves them as tenderly as He loves all His other children. He is no respecter of persons. He is a just and merciful God, and His love overshadows the whole human family." "But Nigras air not human; they ain't people, they is animals; they come fum monkeys and baboons; they cain't be ekal to white people; ef they wuz they'd be white, wouldn't they?" "Your people have made some of them white. Are they not your equals? Come, now." "No, sah; they is Nigras, no mattah how white they is. Ef they has any of that black blood in 'em they is Nigras." "Well, my friend, you are incorrigible. I cannot admit you here; you have not the mark in your forehead, nor anything else to show that you have been redeemed." "Why, I wuz a deacon in the Baptist Church down home, sah, an' we used to sen' money to convert the heathing in China, an' Ah have pussonly given a thousand dollars fer home mission work. Ef thet ain't ernuf to entitle a white man to pass through the gate, Ah don't know what is." But, my friend, you would not be happy here if you were permitted to pass in." "Why, ain't this heaven?" "Of course, it is heaven." "Then why do you thing I would not be happy here among all the good white people who inhabit it?" "There is where you are mistaken, my friend. Here you will find men of every race, kindred and tongue, and the poor blacks whom you cruelly murdered on earth. Look! (Here St. Peter opened wide the gate, permitting the colonel to catch a glimpse of the City Beautiful—the strains of angelic music wafted upon the air, and the vision that he got transfixed him to the spot wheron he stood. The walls of jasper, the golden-paved streets, and the myriads of angels that flitted aither and thither, the great throngs of the elect mingling in splendid alliance was a sight which palsied his tongue and dazzled his eyes. Presently the black bishops of Africa—they of old-time Cyprian, Origen, Tertulian, Clemens, and the great Augustine in flowing robes, passed in review before the great white throne and made their obeisance to the King of Glory. Then came Simeon-Niger, the black, followed by Simon the Cyrenian, he who bore the cross on which the Christ was crucified. Next came the Magii from the East, one of them a tawny black. These were followed by a splendid company of Nubian princes arrayed in magnificent robes, with palms in their hands, singing praises to the King of Glory. Then there was a short lull. Soon there was heard a great commotion and the sound of many voices singing 'Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth." A chariot of gold drawn by six white horses, and which was preceded by an angel choir dressed in spotless white, passed. Seated in the chariot was Sheba, daughter of Jokshan, and granddaughter of Abraham by Keturah, she of old time and come from "the uttermost parts of the earth to Jerusalem with a very great company to hear and see all the wisdom of Solomon"—and she was black. Following behind her came her treasurer, he whom Phillip met on the way, converted and baptised, and he was black. St. Peter closed the gate and said: "Well, my friend, as you cannot enter here, I must now request you to retire; we are expecting a great many arrivals to-day from German South Africa—the Lord's anointed, who have been killed in battle there, and we shall need all the floor space in the outer chamber." "So you really allow Nigras to enter heaven, eh? and won't let a white man in because he's killed a few of 'em?" "No, we do not have niggers in heaven, my friend; we have human souls, the spirits of just men made perfect, blessed and sanctified by our common Father, redeemed by His blood and saved by His grace. There are no niggers here, only kings and princes, the chosen of the Lord—the sons of God." "Well, Ah seen Nigras passing the gate jest now when you had it open, an' they wuz real black Nigras, too. As a southern man an' a gentleman, sah, Ah couldn't lowerate myself by mixing with that mongrel crowd of black and tans Ah seen passing the gate jest now. We of Ferginny—we white people, sah, has ouah notions 'bout Nigras an' social equality, an' we won't stand for it; Ahd ruther go to hell and stay thar for forty thousand millions of years than to spend one minute in yander with them buck Nigras that Ah seen floating around among the white people. Ef we had them Nigras in Ferginny, sah, they'd be strung up 'fore night!'" "Michael! Michael!" called St. Peter. A heavily-built attendant responded. Pointing to the colonel, St. Peter said: "Remove that person to the parapet and dash him into the hottest corner of hades. Tell Belzebub to roast him to a turn; he is a southerner and a Negro-hater." Quick as a flash Michael gathered up the colonel's shroud, tied him in it and carrying him to the parapet, he swung the bundle around his head and sent it speeding down the chute marked "Hades." There was heard a demonical yell below, followed by a dull, sickening thud, the opening and closing of furnace doors, from which the sparks flew upward and the fumes of brimstone filled the circumambient air. The colonel had reached his home. JOHN E. BRUCE. Yonkers, N. Y., Nov. 21, 1905. Making It Easy for Him. "The most difficult part of a pastor's duty," said a well-known preacher, "is the pastoral calls. I have always remembered one of the first I ever made, when I was a green youth, just out of theological seminary. I had been called to the bedside of a member of my church, who was well known for his peculiarities and crankiness. After talking with him a few minutes, I said: "‘Shall I offer a short prayer with you?’ "‘Short or long, use your own judgment,’ he said. "More and more embarrassed I hesitated, and then said: 'What shall I pray for?' "'Exercise your own discretion as to selection of topics,' said he." A Steeplejack's Experience. Some years ago a steeplejack was employed to remove the scaffolding from the chimney of a Yorkshire mill. When he had nearly completed his work he unfortunately let the rope drop by which he should have descended, and, to the consternation of the spectators below, he was held a prisoner at the top of the chimney. But the Yorkshireman was not to be beaten. He unravelled his socks, and by this means let down a note asking them to fasten some string to the end of the wool. When he had pulled up the one end of the string the rope was tied to the other, and so he descended safely. The Solvers. Four score of years had drifted white The beard upon his breast.

The landmaking powers of the sea are strikingly illustrated in the recent estimate of a Scottish geographer. The amount of mineral matter in sea water is found to be sufficient to form a solid layer 125 feet deep over the whole earth and to equal North America, Europe and Australia together, or nearly one-fifth of all land above sea level. Even more mineral matter has been taken from the sea. Most of the limestone, psum and salt has been derived from sea water, and so also has been much of the cementing material of the sedimentary rocks.

( Mrs. Lane was young and inexpert- enced, but certain principles of econ- omy had been instijled into her from childhood. She knew that since one could send ten words in a telegram for 25 cents and any smaller number cost the same amount it was an obvi- ous waste cf money to send less than | the ten. She had also been taught by . her eminently practical husband that in sending a telegram one should “keep to the matter in hand” and avoid ali confusion of words. On the occasion of Mr. Lane’s first absence from home he sent a telegram from Chicago saying: “Are you all right? Answer, Blank hotel, Chiczgo.” Mrs. Lane knew she must be wise, econom- fecal and speedy ,for Mr. Lane was making a flying trip and had told her he could not plan on his whereabouts long enough ahead to have a letter sent She spent a few moments in agitated thought and then proudly wrote the following message: “Yes, yes, yes, I am very well in- deed, thank you.”—Youth’s Cowpan- jon. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. COMING EVENTS Popularity has set its seal of approval upon the music rendered by the Harris orchestra. In its own name and to cover the numerous expenses attendant upon keeping up a first-class musical organization the orchestra will give a grand ball at Manitou hall on next Thursday. It is unnecessary to speak of the floor or the music further than to say that there will be special number arranged by Professor Harris himself. Popular admission. "You see it is the grand ball given by the Sweatie Don't Club and the first one they have given for a long time." So spoke a lady the other day and she certainly knows what she is talking about. The mask balls which this club has given has been the best attended and have presented more fine costumes than any and this which is coming will be no exception. Popular admission, only 35 cents with the Harris orchestra. No girl likes to be made love to by an amateur. Bargain sales have parted many a wife and her husband's money. No married woman can pass an old admirer without a backward glance. Beauty is the only thing that consoles some women for being women. Only a strong-minded woman can keep her calendar torn off up to date. It's the blissful ignorance of bachelors that enables widows to marry them. A widow knows when a man is in love with her long before he knows it himself. The Bats Club at Five Points Hall drew out a good crowd Thursday night and the music of Holley's orchestra gave eminent satisfaction for dancing. The Ideal Pharmacy which has been conducted at 21st and Arapahoe Streets, is now located at 19th and Arapahoe streets, where there is a neat store room. Dr. Spratlin has bought an interest in the store. A greater stock will be carried and every endeavor made to keep it a store in close competition with the down town stores. When Thackeray was a candidate for parliament from the city of Oxford some one remarked to him that he must be well known to most of those whose votes he sought.

It is easy for the public to think that Conan Doyle has been writing of real people in his Sherlock Holmes stories. The publication of "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" brought the publishers a letter, interesting as showing how completely Doctor Doyle has made his characters live. The writer dates his letter from a little Pennsylvania town, and says: "One story gives a description of Horace Harker, in whose house a man had been murdered, in London. I am much interested in the Harker family, and would be awful glad if I could get in correspondence with some of the Harker family in England. My father's mother was a Harker, who came to this country with her parents when she was quite young. Do you think if I would write to Doctor Watson, in London, who seems to have been Mr. Holmes' constant companion, that he would answer my letter, and try to place me in communication with some one? Can you give me Doctor Watson's address in London? Yours very truly." Forcing Spiders to Spin. Certain green ants in Queensland, which also make their nests of leaves and flowers spun together, are said to keep spiders to spin for them. Whether these latter do it spontaneously, or require to be held as the larvae of the other species, does not seem to have been determined. In the devices of these ants there is surely one of nature's hints to human inventors. Since the days of the spider artist in the University of Lagado, spider silk has been a dream. The difficulty of its realization has been chiefly the pugnacious nature of the spider, which prevents them being kept together. But a machine has been invented which seems to overcome the difficulty. It is described as a sort of frame containing twenty-four miniature guillotines, the blunt knives of which descend on the waists of the spiders and hold them fast. A number of threads are secured together on a hook and slowly drawn out.—London Globe. Dentists in Demand.

An incident lately made public re- veals one of the leading bankers of Denver, David H. Moffat, in a favor- able light. Mr, Moffat was formerly the partner of the late United States Senator Chaffee, whose daughter mar- ried U. 8. Grant, Jr. After Mr. Chaf- fee's death his estate suffered re- verses, and in the panic of 1893 a large business block in Denver, a part of Mrs. Grant's inheritance, was threatened with foreclosure. The amount of the mortgage was $150.- 000. Mr. Moffat advanced the sum needed to save the block and then carried it along for Mrs. Grant until all danger of loss had passed, Re- cently Mrs. Grant sold the property for $300,000, leaving her, after repay- ing Mr. Moffat, an equity of $150,000. New Biblical Subject. Jacob Boehme, the “mystic shoe maker,” once wrote a pamphlet which he called “Reflections on the Treatise of Isaiah Stiefel.” One of Bohme’s biographers had never heard of that theologian. But hé knew enough Ger- man to be aware that “Stiefel” meant “boot,” and he was further misled by the fact that Boehme was a cobbler as well as a philosopher. So he made & brilliant shot and spoke of the pam- phlet in question as Boehme’s “Re- fiections on the Boots of tsaiah.” In this guise {t passed into several cata- locues. Cyclists’ Wedding.

In Carl Joubert's "Russia as It Really Is" the author gives the following anecdote: "A Jewish peddler of Grodno dealt in pirrogs (meat pies), and two hungry muzhiks traveling in the third-class railroad car with him were so overpowered by the appetizing odor of his wares that, not having money to buy them, they slew the Jew without further ado and threw the body out of the window. They were apprehended and to the astonishment of the pristav (police sergeant), the whole supply of pies was found intact. 'Why did you not eat the pirrogs and throw the basket away?' asked the pristav. 'You forget,' said one of the muzhiks, 'that to-day is Friday and it is not allowed to eat meat.'" The Best Is Ours. In God's fair world the best is freest given— Pure water, restful grass, the blue of heaven. The highest joys are wedded not to wealth— True love, sweet peace, and glad, abounding health. Not backward needs the world its vision cast; Its golden age is present, not the past. The richest jewels mined by human thought Can by the poorest for a wish be bought. Philosopher, lawgiver, poet, sage. The matchless minds of every clime and age. So near our feet they come fresh touched of God. Like vernal life new springing from the sod. O'er crowning all, most free, supremely best— The Book, the Christ, the soul's eternal quest. —Rev. William B. Norton, Ph.D. The Point of View. An Irishman who had but recently arrived in this country applied to a Scotchman for a job. The Scotchman decided to give him a trial—also, a little good advice. "It will be your own fault if you don't get ahead in this country, Pat," said the Scotchman. "Twenty years ago I landed in New York with but one shirt to my back, but since then by my own exertions, I have managed to accumulated a million." "Faith, an' Old lolk to be afther knowin' pfwat ony man wants wid a million shirts!" exclaimed the son of Erin. "He can't wear more than one av thim at a tolm, begory!" Chose the Lesser Evil. The late William Terriss, seeing a novel ear covering which was recommended for the cold weather, bought it and gave it to his old coachman, who could thus protect himself while waiting for Mr. Terriss at night. The coachman was profuse in his gratitude; but a night or two later Mr. Terriss noticed that he was not wearing his muffler. "Why have you given it up so soon?" he asked. "Well, sir," was the man's reply, "It was werry comfortable, but you see, sir, I found out t'other night that when I 'ad my ears covered a friend 'ad asked me to 'ave a drink and I'd never 'card 'im." —London Daily News. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. SUNRISE ON PIKE'S PEAK. How the Spectacle Affected a Man From a Prairie State. "It's a wonderful experience to be on Pike's Peak at sunrise," said the Rev. Charles N. Pace of Lone Tree, Iowa, to the Des Moines Register, who returned yesterday from Colorado, where he had been on the Epworth league excursion. "Our party started a little past midnight and reached the summit about daylight. It was awfully cold. We had to wear our overcoats and get in the shelter of the rocks as much as possible, for the wind was piercing. The snow on the peak was hard as it is in Iowa in the dead of winter, after it has melted a little on the top and then frozen again. After we had been on the peak a brief time we could see the shades changing in the east, and the sky gradually brighten. The shadows began to grow less deep along the mountain sides, but the deep gorges still appeared enveloped in darkness. Then the sun's rim came out of the plains to the east, the shadows shortened down the mountain sides, and the yawning chasms and gorges and deep canyons began to reveal their depth All of the colors of the rainbow, with every variation and tint and shade, were revealed. Neighboring peaks less high than old Pike, stood out prominently. As the sun mounted higher, cities appeared almost at the foot of the mountain—Manitou, Colorado Springs and off in the distance Pueblo. "It's the greatest time of the day to be on the peak, and it's worth traveling all the way to the mountains to see." Bill Nye's Reply. The late Bill Nye replied as follows to a correspondent who inquired about his habits of work and life: "When the weather is such that I cannot exercise in the open air I have a heavy pair of dumbbells at my lodgings, which I use for holding the door open. I also belong to an athletic club and a pair of Indian clubs with red handles. I owe much of my robust health to this. "I do most of my writing in a sitting posture or in an autograph album. When I am not engaged in thought I am employed in recovering from its effects. I am very genial and pleasant to be thrown among. "I dress expensively, but not so as to attract attention. In the morning I wear morning dress, in the evening I wear evening dress, and at night I wear night dress."—Denver Times. The Stage American. Max Beerbohm thinks it is time to do away with the "ridiculous stock figure that has for many years done duty on the English stage for American men—always blatant, always cool, always resourceful, always ready with dreadful funniments in the manner of Max Adeler. Thirty years ago, before the development of steamship navigation, it was natural enough that English playwrights should be content with this figure. But nowadays, when London, throughout every summer, is overflowing with real Americans, it certainly does seem strange that our playwrights can give us nothing better than this one old battered simulacrum."

Out of Office Hours, 1664 Main --- Representative Currier of New Hampshire is a little man, thin and bony. Probably his best weight is not in excess of 130. But as a presiding officer of the house the granite state yankee weighs a ton. In that capacity he possibly outweighs all of Speaker Cannon's other presiding officers in committee of the whole. That is especially attested by the frequency with which the gavel is placed in his hand on important occasions. His sway is gentle, but prevailing. Fifteen years ago Mr. Currier was speaker of the New Hampshire legislature, which has a membership almost as large as the national house.

The last case I will mention at this time was on this wise: She returned in the evening from a shopping foray and casually mentioned that she had some peanut butter. She set it down in the kitchen. Later in the evening he slipped out in the kitchen in a sort of desultory, quiet, and unostentatious way and cut a piece of bread and set about spreading on some of the peanut butter. In the dim light he did well and got plenty on, but unfortunately she had not mentioned that she had also bought some enameline for polishing the stovepipe. When the bread was spread he took a mouthful of it, the kind of mouthful a man is apt to take when the restraints and formalities of effete society are far from him. Then he placed some handsome but unpremeditated stucco work on the newly painted walls of the kitchen, and from that date things began to get twisted, and there was not that delightful camaraderie that there had been. She got alimony two years later, and it was charged that he had spells of temper, and on one occasion went into the kitchen just after it had been newly painted and filled his mouth with some black substance, and then, like a Chinaman wetting down an ironing, spurted it seventy-two ways from Sunday. That shows how unfair a woman is when she gets after a person she no longer likes.—Perkin Warbeck in Magazine of Fun. TAILS WERE ALL THERE. Wily Greek Butcher Compiled with the Regulations. A funny story is told about an army meat purveyor in the Ionian islands: A favorite device in certain stations abroad was to palm off goat flesh for mutton. A zealous quartermaster in the Ionian islands, suspecting this practice on a certain occasion, thought he would assuredly defeat it by ordering that all the legs of mutton sent in by the butchers should have the tails MS. .....$1.00 Three months.....50 colorado, as second class mailmatter. our news. printing orders. attacned. The Greek contractor smiled knowingly, but promised compliance, and for the next few days every joint was delivered in the manner required. The quality of the meat, however, did not improve; on the contrary, it had a more "goaty" flavor than ever, and loud and bitter were the complaints of its consumers. At last the mystery was solved. One day, when the inspecting officer picked up a leg of mutton to weigh it, the joint fell to the ground, leaving the tail in his hand. Subsequent investigation showed that it had merely been sewn on with a thread. A Ceylon newspaper prints the following regarding the head of a wild buffalo, which was shot in that island recently: "Both the horns were badly worn off. This was probably caused by the animal's constantly digging up the ground with its huge horns at the least excitement or on seeing an enemy at a distance. It is said that the animal was a savage and dangerous brute, and the mere appearance of the huge head clearly shows it to have been so. A bullet was found imbedded an inch deep in the neck of the buffalo, close behind the left ear, it having been previously shot at by some one, evidently at a very long distance." German Author Fond of America. German Author Fond of America. It was a peculiarity of the late Balduin Mollhausen that in nearly all his novels the scene is placed partly in Germany, partly in America. He was extremely prolific, his stories and travel sketches making up nearly two hundred volumes. He spent many years in the western prairies and the Rocky mountains before he became librarian at Potsdam. To the last he kept his enthusiasm for the west. He left to a Berlin museum four albums containing pictures of America, "as one who will ever again see it." MUSINGS OF A MERE MAN. A kind word to the cook never spoils the dinner.
