Bandmaster Saw But One Way to Achieve Victory. Sousa was once conducting a concert, and was so engrossed in extracting from his organization the sweet, soft notes of an oriental love song. A loud and prolonged blast came from a steamboat on the Alleghany river. Instantly the director's baton was directed toward the disturbing whistle, as thought he would have a more dulcet tone from the offender. Instead he received a more deafening response from the huge steam whistle. The disgusted conductor now turned toward his musicians, and, with a violent waving of his arms, brought forth such a roar from the drums and brasses that if there was any further demonstration on the part of the steamboat it was not heard in the music hall. At the conclusion of the concert Sausa said to one of the directors: "The only way to overcome that steamboat's blow is to meet it with a more powerful one." FORMS OF DISEASE GERMS. Harmless Varieties May Suddenly Change Their Nature. It is common belief that the germs of disease flourish only in the human organism, and that, if we could once eradicate an infectious malady, it would stay eradicated. It now seems very probable that this is untrue. According to a view held wholly or partially by many pathologists, and strongly upheld by Prof. Bodin, disease germs are only accidentally virulent, their normal existence being what is called "saprophytic," that is, independent of any other organism. When one of these harmless varieties changes its nature so as to become parasitic, we have a new disease. Observation has shown that many kinds of bacteria are very unstable, and are constantly forming new varieties. It is possible, therefore, that potential germs of typhoid, lockjaw, or consumption may be growing harmlessly about us, to assume, a virulent parasitic ilife at some future time.—London Lancet. --- --- NO.26 HAVE YOU EVER SEEN WINTER SOUTH? Galveston has the finest beach in the South. The climate is wonderful. Low altitude, humidity of atmosphere, soothing sea breezes and the general restful effect of the easy Southern life all tend to slow down the irritable heart and brain and bring about pefect rest. The Colorado & Southern make a round trip rate of $43.50 to Galveston. Mr. E. A. Cooper, C. P. A., 17th and Curtis streets, will tell you about this attractive place. FURIOUS FIGHTING.

I unhesitatingly recommend them to all and don't intend in the future to be without them in the house. They are certainly a wonderful medicine to have cured such a bad case as mine."

The after-dinner orator is born, not made; the artificial product takes hints and copies in vain. All agree, however, that the unexpected "goes" best. Lord Chancellor Campbell knew this when at dinner of authors he suddenly rose, asked that glasses might be charged, and submitted "Napoleon." There were cries of dissent, but Campbell went on undisturbed: "We as authors must feel that the name of Napoleon should he held in honor, for let us never forget that he once shot a publisher." That toast was drunk with enthusiasm.—Black and White. Woman Financier. She entered a large department store to buy a yard of silk, which the clerk told her would cost her 75 cents. Her purchase left a remnant of one and one-half yards. The clerk suggested that she buy the remnant "What will you take for it?" asked the woman. "Fifty cents, madam," replied the clerk. "Well, I'll take it, but you can keep the yard you've just torn off." The clerk was staggered for a moment, but appreciating the humor of the proposal made the exchange. When there are two rivals for a widow's hand one of them is apt to win by losing. The average wife looks upon her husband as an automatic machine for supplying her wants. Man proposes—and later on he is apt to wonder how he managed to make such a fool of himself. The most engaging summer girl is the one who secures the largest collection of engagement rings. Love that can stand a peruke and secondhand teeth may be safely branded as the genuine article. There are two things that try a man's courage—marriage and death. But after he has passed the first he doesn't fear the second. A woman may not be able to sharpen a pencil or propel a stone with accuracy, but she can pack more things in a trunk than a man can pile on a truck.

"Wasps are exceedingly dainty in their habits," says a writer in The Pilgrim, "and in order that they gratify their instinct for neatness to the utmost nature has provided them with a set of marvelously delicate combs and brushes. If we look closely at the wasp's legs we will find that each bears on its outermost long joint two small, movable spines, known as the apical spurs, and if we examine these with a magnifying glass each is seen to be provided with a row of fine teeth, so that the apparatus answers for a coarse and fine toothed comb. "The tidying up process consist of various perfectly definite steps, usually taking place in a particular sequence. First, it passes both front legs over the face from ove downward, and after repeating this movement several times draws them through the jaws. This is to remove any foreign substance which may have collected on them. The legs are then passed backward from the forehead, much as we should smooth back our hair. The wings are then stroked again and again from the base to the tip, although the most careful observer would fail to detect anything upon them. The abdomen is next carefully stroked from base to tip until every fine hair points in the right direction and a gloss as fine as satin is attained. Last of all, each of the six legs, in turn, is laboriously drawn between two of its fellows, so the wasp is once more ready to face its world." GOOD MAN WAS A8HAMED. Cause of Demise Sufficient to Make Even the Bishop Wince. The late Bishop Peck of the Methodist Episcopal church enjoyed good living, as his massive frame and 300 pounds indicated. While presiding at a session of the New Hampshire conference he was entertained by a Mrs. Brown, who had a reputation as a cook. She prided herself especially upon her mince pies. It was at the supper table, and the bishop had done ample justice to a generous slice of the tempting pastry. He was urged to have a second piece, but refused, as he was to make the chief address of the week that evening. Mrs. Brown insisted with feminine persuasiveness, contending that whatever other mince pies might be hers, at least, were harmless. The distinguished guest yielded at last till not only a second, but a third equally large portion of the pie had disappeared. Evening came, and with it a congregation which packed the large church to the doors, to listen to the able divine. The hour for service arrived, but the bishop had not appeared. The elders looked anxious. The choir sang, and the preliminary services were well started, when two or three of the brethren went out to look for the absent speaker. They found him at Mrs. Brown's writhing in the agonies of a severe illness, resulting from his indiscretion at the table. As the faithful ministers saw their beloved bishop lying on his bed and groaning with pain, one of them said: "Why, bishop you are not afraid to die, are you?" "No," replied the sufferer. "I am not afraid to die, but I am ashamed to." The Soul's Wounds. "A fool he was, and he took his Soul Within his hollow hands; He took his Soul and smoothed it calm, And loosed its strained bands. "'O Soul,' he cried, 'you bear the stain Of chain-gyves interwove! Who did this thing?' The Soul replied: "It was the friend I love." 'O Soul, you have a flaming brand Burned on your nakedness! Who did this thing?' The Soul replied: "That was a pure caress." 'O Soul, a fissure shows your heart Like wound of bloody sword! Who did this thing?' The Soul replied, "That was a friendly word!" "O Soul, you shrink within my hand, I scarce see where you be! Who did this thing?" The Soul replied; "A woman pitied me." "The Fool laid down his Soul and wept, And knelt him down beside; He soothed and questioned all the night, No Soul of him replied." Visiting His Grandfather. This happened in Paris: an artist was talking to an old model. "I shall want you on Sunday morning for the final sitting," said the artist. "Impossible, monsieur," said the model. "I am going to take the children to visit my grandfather." "Your grandfather! Why, how old are you?" "Sixty-seven, monsieur." "And you still have a grandfather?" "Oh, yes, at the Jardin des Plantes. He's a skeleton. I take my own grandchildren to see him once a month. The keepers know us very well. They always say: 'Ah, you have come to see your grandpapa. All right; you'll find him in his usual place. He can't walk very comfortably now, so he's still there!'" Jenny on the Mosquito. The mosquito is a small but powerful insect with a sharp jigger at the end of his snoot. It amuses itself by singing, and lives on blood. When it stops singing you feel a pain somewhere about you, and then you slap where the pain is. The mosquito will bite animals, but prefers the human race. It never does any good to swear when a mosquito bites you. It doesn't help you a bit, and it irritates the mosquito. There was a man in South Chicago who was bitten by a mosquito seven years ago while he was working in his garden, and he has never worked in a garden since. Chicago Tribune. PROF. SEARS' LONG SENTENCE Conclusion Afar Off, So the Class Was Excused. One warm afternoon in June Prof. Sears of Brown university was lecturing to his class in American literature. Several members had flitted from the room during the moments when his eyes were on his manuscript, but beyond the remark that the room "appeared to be leaking" he took no notice of the fact. His paper for the day, like the others he delivered, had been prepared at his home, a long distance from the college. The accurate eye of the student who sat nearest him had noted that it appeared less bulky than usual, but even he was not prepared for what followed. Right in the middle of a sentence the professor stopped. He repeated the opening words and again halted at the same point. Looking up from his desk, with just the slightest twinkle in his eye, he said: "Gentlemen, the remainder of this sentence is two miles from here. The class is excused."

Either call, Good Idea, but Unfortunately the Cradle Was Empty. A clock in a nearby tower had just toled off the hour of 4 as he arose unsteadily from the card table, where he had sat for three hours, stretched his weary limbs, bade his comrades good night and started in the direction of his home. After a half-hour's walk in which all the lamp posts and telegraph poles insisted on getting in his way, he arrived at his home, took out his bunch of keys, at last found the elusive keyhole and softly opening the door and discarding his shoes at the foot of the stairs, climbed heavenward on all fours. With catlike footsteps he crept across the threshold of his bedroom and proceeded to undress. He heard his wife move restlessly, which made him hurry, and in doing so he up set a chair. Stepping quickly over to the cradle in the corner, he commenced to rock it violently. "Is that you, John?" came his wife's voice from the bed. "Yes, dear," he replied. "Well, what in the world are you doing?" she asked. "Why, I'm rocking this blamed kid to sleep." "How long have you been there?" "Since 11:30." "Well, John, I think you had better get right into bed, as I have the child in here beside me; and, moreover, I've had him here ever since 11 o'clock last night."—Philadelphia Press. SOME TRICKS OF LIGHTNING. Bolts, It Would Seem, Were Sent to Do Their Works. A man in Mississippi was cutting a chew of tobacco when a bolt of lightning struck his hands. They were so badly burned that they had to be amputated. Two quarrymen were preparing a fuse in a Georgia marble quarry when lightning struck the charge and they were blown to fragments. The mate of an Atlantic coasting schooner was drunkenly inviting a sailor aloft engaged in shortening sail to come down and be cut to pieces, when a bolt of lightning struck the mate dead. A boy seated in a small boat that was attached to and trailing from a sailing yacht off the South Carolina coast was killed by a bolt of lightning, while the yacht was not damaged. An unbelieving farmer in Indiana was engaged in a controversy with an itinerant minister when he was struck dead by lightning while making a blasphemous remark. --- Mr. and Mrs. D. W.

Woman Sends a Peculiar Message to Her Absent Husband. Mrs. Lane was young and inexperienced, but certain principles of economy had been instilled 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 obvious waste of 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 all 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, Chicago." Mrs. Lane knew she must be wise, economical 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 indeed, thank you."—Youth's Companion. War Has Helped American Trade.

NANNIE WELLS Recorder. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO THE GARRISON PLEDGE OF THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT. THE GARRISON PLEDGE OF THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT. Bowing in memory of that great and good man, William Lloyd Garrison, I, a member of the race for whom he worked and in whom he believed, do consecrate myself to the realization of that great ideal of human liberty which ever guided and inspired him. I hereby pledge myself to fight for freedom—freedom of thought, freedom to vote, freedom to enjoy public conveniences, and freedom to associate with those who wish to associate with me. I propose to enter this great moral battle with head up like a man, saying as he said: "I will be as harsh at truth and uncompromising as justice." "My reliance for the deliverance of the oppressed universally is upon the nature of man, the inherent wrongfulness of oppression, the power of truth, and the omnipotence of God." My cause is a holy cause: "Opposition cannot weary it out, force cannot put it down, fire cannot consume it. It is the spirit of Jesus who was sent to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God. Its principles are self-evident. its measures rational, its purposes merciful and just. It cannot be diverted from the path of duty, though all earth and hell oppose." I will remember that "The success of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers," and that "It is possible that a people may bear the title of freemen who execute the work of slaves." Therefore: "Our trust for victory is solely in God. We may be personally defeated, but our principles, never!" "I am in earnest." "I will not equivocate." "I will not retreat a single inch." "And I will be heard." "I solicit no man's praise." I fear no man's censure." "I am in earnest." "I will not equivocate." "I will not retreat a single "And I will be heard." Judge Peabody's Irate Client. Some years ago the husband of an Irish lady in Portland, Maine, found himself in difficulty, requiring the services of an attorney. So the wife, who managed affairs, went to a leading concern which she'd employed before, only to find it had been secured by the other side. Inquiring who she'd better employ, Lawyer Peabody, now a justice of the supreme judicial court of Maine, was recommended. He was engaged, but the opposite party won. A few days later an acquaintance, referring to her mistfortune, asked the lady if she had counsel. 'Yes, I did,' she emphatically replied. "I had Paybody, and I might just as well had nobody." Leaves $90,000 to Servants. Lady Diana de Vere Huddleston, who died in London recently, left a will bequeathing $90,000 to her servants and directing that her ashes after cremation should be placed in the oak shrine awaiting them at Courtt's Bank and buried with those of her husband, which she had carried with her wherever she went for fifteen years. Wooden Tie-Plates. Upon the advice of the bureau of forestry at Washington the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe railroad eight months ago began to experiment with wooden tie-plates. These-plates are intended to protect the tie from wear under the rail. They are cut the width of the bottom of the rail and as long as the tie is wide—usually six or seven inches—and are kept in place by the weight of the rail, in a flat groove in the tie. --- Wouldn't Work Both Ways. Senator Daniel tells of an old darkey, who was asked whether in his experience prayer was ever answered. "Well, sah," replied Mose, "some pra'rs is ansud an' some ain't—it depends on what yo' axes fo'. Just arter de wah, w'en it was mighty hard scratchin' fo' de cullud brederin, I notice dat wenebber I pray de Lord to sen' one o' Marse Jenkins' fat chickens fo' de old man dere was no notice took ob de petishun; but w'en I pray dat He would sen' de old max fo' de chicken de matter was 'tended to befo' sunup de next mornin'."—New York Herald. What One Kicker Can Do. One coyotte will hang around a camp at night and create the impression that a pack of at least twenty big wolves are looking for a chance to eat the campers. But investigation will reveal that the single coyote is lean and hungry and cowardly, and that he does not weigh over fifteen pounds. Likewise one kicker in a town will create the impression that there is much indignation against every respectable citizen and measure.—Atchison, Kan., Globe. Watch and Pray. They pray the best who pray and watch, They watch the best who watch and pray, They hear Christ's fingers on the latch, Whether he comes by night or day. With trembling joy they hall their Lord, And haste his welcome feet to kiss. While he, well pleased, doth speak the word "Well done, my servants, now receive, For faithful work, reward and rest, And wreaths which busy angels weave To crown the men who serve me best."

The mantle of Elijah has fallen on a worthy Elisha. Judson Lyons, register of the treasury is to be succeeded by Prof. W. T. Vernon, so says the Associated Press. Apart from the interest this has for us because of the friendship we bear the great western educator, the appointment is noteworthy for it is the beginning of just recognition for the Negro in politics upon a basis of real service. With all kindness for our southern brethren it may still be said that their influence is not a factor in the election of a ticket, while upon the northern Negro in many states rests the much talked of balance of power. We congratulate the Kansas Demosthenes upon his appoictment and feel sure that he will reflect credit upon the class he is chosen to represent. Colored boys are now employed in the Denver Dry Goods Company as elevator boys. The Golden Eagle, Joslins' and Lewis stores also use them. There was once a time here when only Daniels and Fisher employed us thus, and it is no small compliment to Messrs. Hodges and Conway for their efficient service that rival stores have come to use colored help. So it is ever. Competent Negro help is advantageous to us all.
