All clubs residing in any one of these cities are urgently requested to send all reports of work done to your correspondent, who will take great pleasure in reporting the same in this column of State Federation notes. This paper has been adopted as the official organ of the Colorado State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Greeting. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of the club women of Colorado, and may Gods choicest blessings rest upon all who are laboring in His vineyard. To those who are working to elevate woman to the highest plane of womanhood, intellectually, morally and physically, may your every effort be attended with great success. The growth of this organization of the best women of the Centennial state has been wonderful during our first year. The membership has been doubled and the amount of real, honest and faithful work done by the noble women is very encouraging. Our second annual meeting will convene in Denver in about six months. About half of the year is gone and during the other half we all must put our shoulders to the wheel and bend our every effort to make our next meeting in the "City of the Plains" one of the grandest and most glorious in the history of the federation. In order to "lift as we climb," we must lay aside all personal and selfish interests and unite ourselves into one bond of loving women, bent only upon elevating our women and doing something for humanity. God will bless every good and noble thought, word and deed, for nothing escapes His ever-watchful eye. Trusting to have the loyal support of every officer and all members of the State Federation to aid in building up a permanent and lasting monument to our women, I remain. Yours for Women, MRS. IDA JOYCE-JACKSON, State President. CLUB NOTES. (From Colorado Springs.)

Nelson's Straightine is not only the best Dressing for the Hair, but the most powerful HAIR GROWER known to science; it is Nature's own remedy, containing no strong, dangerous chemicals that can in any way injure the hair. It can be used as long as desired, or stopped at any time without bad effects. Straightine does not affect the color of the hair. No matter how harsh, stubborn or refractory the hair is, Nelson's Straightine will make it soft and pliant, so that you may do it up in any of the prevailing styles, at the same time giving it that wavy, rich, glossy look so much desired. As a Hair Grower Nelson's Straightine is without an equal: it makes the hair grow in thin places, removes dandruff, stops the hair from splitting, and breaking off at the ends, giving a rich, long and luxurious head of beautiful hair. Siraightine is no new, untried experiment, but an old, reliable preparation, backed by years of successful use and hundreds of testimonials. Nelson's Straightline is delightfully perfumed; put up in handsome 4-count square tin boxes (like one shown in cut), and sold everywhere by drugstores and agents at 25 cents a box. If you cannot get it in your town, send us 30 cents in stamps and we will mail you a full size box, securely wrapped, postage paid. Address NELSON MANUFACTURING CO., Richmond, Va. FLORIST.

There is nothing people appreciate more than being served by those who really enjoy accommodating them. What a comfort, at a strange hotel, especially to be served by those who seem anxious to please us, who seem to take real pleasure in making us feel at home and comfortable. There is no one quality which will help youth along more rapidly than the cultivation of this desire to please, to accommodate. It appeals to everybody, it creates a good impression. A surly, impudent Pullman porter often destroys the pleasure of a whole journey on a train. An impudent clerk in a hotel office can make everybody in the house uncomfortable, and such service is dear even if it could be had for nothing. It is noticeable that a boy who always tries to help wherever he can and to make everybody comfortable, who is accommodating in everything, is very popular and, other things being equal, most likely to be promoted. Germany's Future Empress. Every one says that the crown princess is charming and amiable and if the stories told of her be true "die kleine Cecile" has plenty of sense and shrewdness and a pretty wit of her own. Even as a small child she was not easily overawed and many were the pranks her high spirit led her into. Once she was naughty enough to be sent to bed, when her worthy pastor paid her a visit and lectured her on her sins. The little culprit listened with apparent meekness for a time, then saying, "But can you do this?" she put an end to the lecture by turning a dexterous somersault under the reverend gentleman's nose. A pickle and a tomboy she certainly was, but the servants in her old home all adored her, and those of them who were too old to retain their posts owed much of the brightness of their lives to the visits and attentions she paid them. Gold Mining in Japan. Since the beginning of the war the Japanese government has encouraged gold mining. The result has been over $6,000,000 worth of gold in Japan and nearly as much in Formosa.

FUTURE SHOULD BE EASY. 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 gilte leaf Journal, published in Paradise, or an asbestos sheet, published somewhere else.—Los Angeles Times. Keep a Grip on Yourself. To lose self-control is to lose the key to any situation. No woman who can not hold herself in hand can expect to hold others. It has been well said, that, in any discussion or disagreement with another, if you are in the wrong you can not afford to lose your temper, and if you are in the right there is no occasion to. Or, is a lawyer has wittily put it: "Possession is nine points of the law; self-possession is ten." Ward Auction Co. Ward Auction Co.

ACADEMY THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO DIDN'T TOUCH THEM "FASHION NOTES FOR MEN" WAS A FAILURE. The Women, After Momentary Digression, Calmly Went on With the Discussion of Various Appropriately Wearing Apparel. After Mrs. Ponsonby had talked about dressmakers and dressmaking until Mr. Ponsonby was weary, and when Mrs. Dallington had for more than two solid hours discussed gowns, hats, wraps, corsets and feminine apparel in general, Arthur Ponsonby flicked the ashes from his cigar and, turning to Dallington, asked: "By the way, Fred, where did you buy your shirts?" "I always get them at Creighley's." "Do you like his style? I think Mudgers makes the sweetest shirts I ever wore. They fit just lovely over the hips, and he seems to have a way of putting in sleeves that is so cunning." "Oh, I shall have to go to him when I need shirts again. Where do you get your trousers?" "Mansell always makes mine. I wouldn't think of going to any one else. How much did you pay for that vest. It's just as sweet as it can be." "Yes, isn't it pretty? Do you know, I bought it ready made. I very seldom do such a thing, but it happened to just fit me and I couldn't resist it. Did Mansell make that coat your wearing?" "Yes. How do you like it? Do you think it fits me just right across the shoulders?" "It's perfect. I never saw anything sweeter. You ought to wear gray all the time. It's really very becoming to you. What a cunning tie you have. Where do you get your ties?" "Oh, I wouldn't think of getting a tie anywhere but at Murgenheim's. Do you like these socks I'm wearing?" "Dear me! They're awfully cute. I bought some new ones last week, but I like yours better than any of mine. I'm going to have a new pair of trousers cut out just as soon as I can get around to it. What do you think would be a good style for me to get? Would you have them shirred at the knees?" "No, I don't like them that way, I think I would have them tucked at the ends and cut full at the sides, with deckel-edged seams. Still, if you like them gathered at the top, I—" "Arthur," exclaimed Mrs. Ponsonby, "have you suddenly gone crazy?" "Fred Dallington," that gentleman's wife demanded, "what in the world is the matter with you?" The men shook their heads and denied that they had lost their wits. Being reassured, Mrs. Ponsonby asked Mrs. Dallington how she intended to have her Indian head skirt made up. "I think," said Mrs. Dallington, "I will have it plaited both in front and behind. Do you remember that denim of mine?" "Do you mean the pinkish one that Mrs. Blytheleigh made for you?" Defeated and shamed the two men lit fresh cigars and sat back and were silent.—S. E. Kiser in Chicago Record Herald. Panic Caused by Eclipse. In Egypt, in the eclipse of 1882, soldiers had to guard the British camp from the excited Egyptians who would have invaded it. As it was, their wild shrieks as the sun became overcast were sufficiently disturbing. SOME ARE BORN BLEEDERS. Malady Which Is Peculiar Studied by a German Physician. The rare peculiarity known as haemophily or "bleeding sickness" has been brought to notice anew by Dr. Boehme, a German physician. It continues for generation after generation in certain families and is characterized by an extraordinary tendency to hemorrhage, making the extraction of a tooth a dangerous operation, while even a pin prick may lead to severe or fatal bleeding. The cause seems to exist in an unexplained failure of the blood to coagulate like normal blood. The disease has been studied in more than sixty European families and in the Mampel family has been followed for more than a century. Johan Peter Mampel and wife were not "bleeders." Of their eleven children three sons were affected and from observations on 212 members of these and subsequent generations of the family a most singular law of heredity is deduced. This law is that, while the disease is practically confined to males, it is never transmitted by these males to their sons, but only by the women, who normal, to their sons. Wash in Public Streams. Almost every little stream in rural France has wash houses on its banks, where the women of the neighborhood wash their clothes. They use a great deal of soap and chemicals.

Blanchard of Louisiana was describing the precautions that a certain veteran physician had taken against the spread of a contagious disease. Knowing the people he had to deal with," Gov. Blanchard said, "he saw that his rules were carried out before one of these people left their homes. They had tricked him in the past. He would not be tricked again. He was like the Camden clergyman of my boyhood. "This clergyman once married a certain huckster, who, after the ceremony, declared he was unable to pay a wedding fee, and so, willy nilly, the clergyman had to let him off. "Some years later the good man found the same huckster before him with another woman. His first wife had died. Now he desired to yoke with a second. "The minister was willing enough to remarry the man, but this time he would take precautions. "So, leading the bridegroom to one side, he held out his hand and said in a low voice: "'My fee.' "'Oh, yes, of course,' said the huckster, confusedly, and he placed a banknote in the clergyman's palm. "'Thank you,' said the clergyman, with a bland smile. "That is for the first time. Now we will have the fee for this occasion, please?" Real Cost of Salt. Salt costs the producer less than one-tenth of a cent a pound. Never mind the grocery price.

French Woman Robbed Only German Visitors to Paris. In Paris the police have discovered a woman who has exhibited a peculiar sort of patriotism. She was arrested recently for having robbed a German merchant of £60 to the magistrate she made a strange declaration. She said that her main object in life was to decoy Germans and to rob them. She went about with them to cafes and music halls, and while affecting to be very interested in them she picked their pockets. In this way she had annexed for several years past over £700. She had picked the pockets of exactly sixty-seven Germans, and she was proud of it. As her reason for thus acting the woman said that in 1870 her family in Normandy had been completely ruined by the German invaders, who stole her father's cattle, pigs, fowls and even plate. She was then obliged to go out as a dairymaid, but not being accustomed to servitude she came to Paris and began waylaying and robbing Germans. The magistrate listened to this tale calmly. It made no impression on him. Still Had Hopes. Mr. Tyte-Phist had scraped an acquaintance with another passenger on the train. "From Cincinnati, are you?" he said. "Yes, sir." ```markdown ``` "In business there?" "Yes." "Long?" "Seventeen years." "Do you know a man named Hurdle- stone?" "I don't recall any such man just now." "Rasselas Hurdlestone—he has a hare lip, and he's crosseyed. You'd know him in a minute if you saw him. Walks with a kind of stoop. He went to Cincinnati twenty-seven years ago, and I reckon he is there yet. Had a short, stubby mustache the last time I saw him. Can't you seem to remember him now?" "No," said the other passenger. "I have no recollection of him. Is he a relative?" "Gosh, no!" said Mr. Tyte-Phist. "I lent the measly cuss 25 cents the day before he went away from our town, and I'd kind o' like to get on track of him, that's all." Advice to a Bridegroom. An Eldorado man, a bridegroom makes this inquiry of the Republican: "Shall I tell my wife everything or shall I tell her nothing?" Not knowing a thing about it, we asked a man who has been married fifty years to explain. He said: "Tell your wife everything." But the neighbor this old codger is henpecked. He then called on a man who has had three wives and is now looking around for No. 4. "Tell them nothing," he said. "If you tell them the truth they will think you are lying and if you lie to them they will catch you. Look wise say nothing and avoid trouble."—Eldorado, Kan., Republican. Woman. Lovely Woman. "Don't you know," said Miss Overseven, "that I am really feeling younger to-day than I did a few years ago?" "Yes," replied Miss Inerteens, "I've noticed of late that you are getting quite childish." There Was a Limit. An Irishman one day went into the shop of a barber to get shaved. After being properly seated and the lather about half applied, the barber was called to an adjoining room, where he was detained for some time. The barber had in the shop as a pet a monkey, which was continually imitating its master. As soon as the latter left the room the monkey grabbed the brush and proceeded to finish lathering the Irishman's face. After doing this he took a razor from its case and stropped it and then turned to the Irishman to shave him. "Shtop that!" said Pat. "Ye can tuck the towel in me neck and put the soap on me face, but, begorrah, yer father's got to shave me!" Put "Sportsman" in Hole. Beals C. Wright, the tennis champion, was eating reed birds. "When the reed bird season comes round," he said, "I think of my cousin, an enthusiastic sportsman. "My cousin once went on a reed bird hunt, and had excellent luck. The family, on his return, feasted. "His wife, a week or so later, said to him: "'How many reed birds was it that you shot, do you remember?" "'Just two dozen,' said my cousin, 'and all beauties.' "Then the grocer,' said his wife. 'has made a mistake. He charges for only eighteen.'" Palma's Son Takes Up Railroading. Jose Estrada Palma, son of President Palma of Cuba, is making a practical study of the railroad business. Some time ago he went to Mexico and obtained a position as clerk in the auditing department of the National railroad of Mexico. He performed his work so faithfully and well that he was recently promoted to the position of assistant city ticket agent of that in the City of Mexico. Knows the Business. Little Harold's father is at the advertising end of a big paper, and the youngster often hears technical terms in the talk about him. A family friend recently brought a box of chocolates when he called, and giving them to the boy, said: "Now, Hal, I hope you'll remember me in your prayers for that." "Put your name in one time for that," was Master Harold's reply. "If you want to be mentioned every night until further notice you'll have to bring me a bigger box." Balfour Never Reads Papers. It is said that Arthur Balfour, the British premier, never reads the newspapers. Mr. Balfour has often gone to the house of commons in ignorance of important events published in the morning papers. According to the gossip of the lobbies, Miss Alice Balfour, who keeps house for her bachelor brother, is a diligent reader of the newspapers and cuts out whatever she thinks he ought to see.

"Good-By." "Good-By." "And they knew not that even then they were saying good-by."—From Some where. Brother, this one thing remember Underneath the arching sky: Known is every word of greeting. Any word may be good-by! Years ago in old Pompeii Said a lover, "Night is nigh;" Then the lava scared and covered. And those words were his good-by! Ah, how many sky "to-morrow!" Flushing cheek and kindled eye. Touching whom, God's awful finger Of "to-morrow" makes "good-by!" Should we not to those who love us Gentle be until we die? Known is every word of greeting. Any word may be good-by! —New Orleans Picayune. China Feared Dragons in Poultry. A superstition of China is thus described by a traveler: "For a long series of marches going through this country we could get no fowls, a great privation in this part of China where no meat is obtainable. We were told that some time before a fowl had scratched a man and lie had died from the effects. A story got about that a dragon had got into the poultry and they were liable to cause death to their owners. Throughout all the neighboring districts al the poultry were slaughtered as the story spread and we had to pay fabulous sums when we came across any." Derivation of Words. A song of by-gone generation reproached the French with calling their mothers "mares" and all their daughters "fillies"; and it is easy to imagine that "filly" is connected with "fille." As a matter of fact, the word "filly" is of Scandinavian origin and is really a diminutive of "foal." Shakespeare makes Puck disguise himself in "likeness of a filly foal." "Mare" is the Anglo-Saxon "mere," feminine of "mearh," a horse, a trace of which remains in "marshal," which properly signifies master of the horse. BEATS THE MUSIC CURE.

Girl Was Embarrassed. Out in Westport lives a girl who recently took up the fad of collecting cigarettes. From each of her young men friends who smoked them she would beg a "coffin nail" and put it in a small box she kept on her dresser. One night the preacher called. The girl's father was smoking his pipe. "You smoke, don't you?" he asked of the minister. The latter replied in the affirmative. "I thought so," replied the girl's father. "I'm sorry I haven't any cigars to offer you. I have another pipe here—" It was at this point that the girl's little brother decided to help his father out. "Pop," he interrupted, "Sis has got a box of cigarettes upstairs in her room. Shall I git 'em for you?" Although badly confused the girl managed to explain. She has stopped collecting cigarettes.—Kansas City Times. CITY NEWS. No event of the Christmas-tide was more thoroughly enjoyed than the ball which was given by the Utopia Club at Five Points hall last Friday evening. Mrs. Eliza Dishman acted as chaperone for the young people at the hall, and polite behavior in all respects characterized the young ladies and gentlemen who were fortunate enough to receive an invitation. Messrs. Jackson and Webster supplied an abundance of good music, and those who love the muse of the dance paid graceful tribute to Terpsichore. Popular games and a social good time were enjoyed by the young people who cared not to dance.
