THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAN AND NEW MEXICO. WOMAN'S WEEK IN DENVER Her Social Triumphs and Other Personal Notes VOL. XVI. WOMA WEE D Her Social Triumphs an Denver hospitality is no less favorably known than is Denver climate. This week has been a splendid example of what we can do to make guests seem thoroughly at home. For some weeks club women have been looking forward to the coming of Mrs. Booker T. Washington, who is one of the race's best known women, to say nothing of being an official of the national federation. She came to the state at the invitation of Mrs. Ida Joyce-Jackson of Colorado Springs and spent some time in the three large cities of the state. Her arrival in Denver was Monday, and from that time till Wednesday the newspaper men, the representatives of the white clubs and the colored women vied with each other in attentions. And well she deserved it. Her first appearance was at the lecture at Shorter church Monday night, when over 500 people heard her. This was a tribute as much to her personality and her illustrious husband as to the cause for which she spoke. She was listened to with the closest attention and was generally commended for having made an admirable address. At the close of it she was the guest of honor at a dinner served by former students of Tuskegee at the Rhine Cafe. --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JAN. 19, 1906. Tuesday she spent the afternoon as guest of the Woman's League at the home of Mrs. Irving Williams, when a public reception was held. It was elaborately arranged and was the occasion of Mrs. Washington meeting many of the best known workers of the state. In the evening, at the home of Mrs. George A. McCullough, there was given a reception under the auspices of the Book: Lovers' Club, a reception which was by long odds the most exquisite social event of its kind given in this city for some time. Mrs. McCullough's home is ideal for such an event. Its pariors are spacious and can be utilized to the greatest advantage. The ladies of the club number only ten: Mrs. Ida DePriest, Mrs. Anna Freeman, Mrs. H. Black, Mrs. P. E. Sprattin, Mrs. S. W. Overton, McCullough, Mrs. Thos. Campbell, but each one is a host for doing. Decorations of blue and gold abounded, wreathing everything in garlands of Mrs. J. W. Travers, Mrs. Morgan Stokes, Mrs. Minnie Bell, Mrs. G. A. beauty. Books, symbolic of the club's purpose, were strewn through the parlors. The prettily gowned hostesses and their guests, interspersed with representative men of the city, made the event such an one as was truly State Historian & Nat ural History Center TESA WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAN AND ADO, FRIDAY, JAN. 19, 1906. aristocratic—the best meeting for closer knowledge of each other and for the uplift of the many. A treat was given all in the shape of a heart-to-heart talk by Mrs. Washington. The Centennial Mandolin and Guitar Club played during the evening, as did Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook at the piano. Mrs. DePriest and Mrs. Freeman served, Mrs. Overton assisted in receiving, Mrs. Jackson of Colorado Springs being the state representative in the same capacity. About 150 persons met Mrs. Washington as the club's guests. From musty tombs to a recherche reception is not so far, looking at it in one way, but to do both well is a great deal and this the Book Lovers' Club has done. Mrs. Jane Purnell, mother of Mrs. E. D. Fountain, died Thursday morning at 7 o'clock of old age diseases. She was the mother of five children, one in this city, and Mrs. Virginia Brown of Colorado Springs being the only ones in Colorado. She was 83 years of age and made her home with her daughter. She will be buried Sunday from the house, 1217 Gaylord. George Williams, of 3404 Wynkoop street, is sick. Thos. Arrington, of 2729 Larimer street, is sick. Mrs. Cora Pryor, of 22 Alaska, is convalescing. Mrs. Montgomery, of 2233 Champa, and Mrs. Serena Mitchem, are indisposed. Earnest D. Washington, a son of Prof. Washington, who accompanied his mother on her western trip, was a caller at this office Tuesday together with Eugene P. Booze of Colorado Springs. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Bryant of Silverton have arrived in the city after several months of visitang in the South. Mr. Bryant left last night for home, while she will be the guest of Mrs. A. G. Fallings for a few weeks. Mrs. Bryant is the Silverton correspondent for The Statesman. Among the sick of this week are Mrs. Douglass of 2562 Lawrence street, Messrs. G. O. Duncan, Harvey King and J. F. Hayes. Many members of the Azalia Hackley Choral Club are recipients of Mrs. Hackley's photograph as a remembrance. Extensive repairs have been made to the parsonage of Shorter church. Among the improvements are complete water fixtures and enlarged rooms. This has been long needed and now the members can point to their parsonage with pardonable pride. Rev. W. E. Helm has gone to Indiana to help out in a revival. He expects to return to the ministry for good. For Sale for Cash—2,400 shares of stock in the Golden Chest mine, at 18 cents per share.

Stanley, was host at a party at the Mecca Cafe, at which everything in season and out was served. The feature of the feast was the toasts of which there were wise ones and witty ones galore. William T. Dyson, after an absence of some time from the city, has come again, to the great delight of his many friends. H. B. Anderson of Chicago, president of the Railroad and Hotel Men's Industrial Association of Chicago, was in our office this week calling. He is enthusiastic over the future of his association. Mr. George Nickens, who made his home here some years ago, returned some time since for the benefit of his health, but in vain. His death occurred Monday at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Dollie Hamilton. The remains were shipped to Cleveland. Mrs. S. H. Tarbet left the city Wednesday for Topeka, where she will visit for the sake of her health. Mr. Alfred Owens of Pittsburg has come to the city and will remain here about two months.

She was the guest of Mrs. Hundley. We have numbered among the sick the youngest child of Rev. Gladden, Eugene Carter, Mesdames Nelons, Collius, Jennie Henderson, R. B. Fleming. Society has been all agog for the past ten days in the entertainment of Mrs. Booker T. Washington. She gave a lecture on evening of her arrival to a packed house. The Twentieth Century Club entertained for her at a toast luncheon at the handsome home of Mrs. Hurley. Mrs. Tillman, the president, was toastmaster, and toasts were given by the members. Mrs. Proctor threw open the doors of her beautiful home Saturday afternoon when the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, tendered her a public reception. This event was notable from the fact that the white club women came enmasse to greet the distinguished guest. On behalf of the Federation, Mrs. Tillman presented Mrs. Washington with a beautiful souvenir spoon. Throughout the afternoon the parlors were thronged with club women of the city Mrs. Pennington entertained at a six o'clock dinner and Mr. and Mrs. Powell at an evening party Friday. Rev.

Wtth others she was a guest at the mansion of Gen. Palmer in Glen Eyrie. After a few days sightseeing and receiving such royal hospitality as perhaps no other woman of any race ever received from citizens Mrs. Washington accomanied by her hostess left for Denver Monday. The decorations and entertainment were perfect in all appointments. Mrs. Fannie Franklin entertained a few intimate friends in honor of Mrs. Booker T. Washington and son, Friday evening, January 12. Covers were laid for twelve. The beautiful dining room was handsomely decorated in smilax and tea roses. Those present were as follows: Rev. and Mrs. Gladden, Rev. and Mrs. Tillman, Prof. and Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Proctor, Mrs. Rosa Moore, Miss Pearl G. Lampton and Mr. Eldridge Link. After being served to an elaborate five-course dinner the guests assembled in the parlor and by special request of Mrs. Washington, Miss Lampton rendered a solo. All enjoyed themselves highly.

A dudish young man sat on the end of the seat of an open car with a sense of proprietorship, when another dudish young man jumped upon the footboard and stared at him for a moment and then said: "Thir, why donth you hitch along?" "Why should I hitch along?" queried the other. "Because, thir—because I lisp. If you will pay attention you will see thath I lisp. I have had a front tooth taken out, thir. Yes, thir, I have had a front tooth taken out so as to make me lisp, and I demand, thir—I demand thath you hitch along and give me the end seat." "You are way off, my lisping friend. Can't you see that I have just had my ears manicured and that they are of a beautiful pink?" "Oh, I thee," said the lisping young man. "Yes, thir, I thee, and I will admit thath pink ears beat a lisp, but I will climb over you and thit down and feel duly crushed."—Cincinnati Enquirer. When the citizens of Palo Alto heard that a Chinese had applied for a restaurant license they opposed the application so strongly that the town trostees refused it.

The Knights of -Pythias are the greatest social order of the world; a‘ least the local number will try to make its patrons think so next Thurs- day night at its annual blowout at Fast Turner hall.

It is going to be a hum- mer. Just bring the best girl and see how big it will be. A&BITION aS A TONIG, ta Well, Occasionally, to Depart from the Beaten Tra-k. ‘Tz9 world is full of “beaten-track” people who exist exactly after the fashion of millions of men and women who have preceded them. Wew ideas, ew methods, new undertakings are illen to them, and to move them out of the beaten track would require lt- de less than a moral or materlal cy- clore. Their gait is plodding, and their motto, “Let well enough alone.” These jecopie have their uses, no joubt in the genera! scheme of things mundane, They are important factors in making life « severe discipline. They hold in check the enthusiastic, progressive and original people who would otherwise run this poor old world too swiftly. Granted their usefulness, it might be possible, and would surely be ad- vantageous, for a smaller number of beaten-track people to serve the pur- poses for which they exist; and some power evoked to transfor the ma- jority of them into pr vive and enthusiastic citizens of world. Thelr numbers have fa. outgrown the needs, while the ranks of the ad- vance guard of humanity have grown thin. Our attitude toward the sluggish and satisfied people ought to be one of pity rather than scorn, perhaps, for they are generally the product of un- toward circumstances. Physical or mental or moral incapacity is respon- sible for their apathy, and has left them only energy or will sufficient for the beaten track. They at least are far above the degenerate and criml- hal classes in humanity’s scale, for {hese are too feeble in Intellect and will to keep even in the beaten track, not to mention the power to blaze a higher and finer way through the world, iS THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Why Good-Bys Multiply What is the psychological reason which makes women prolong good- bys? asks the Brookline Times. Mrs. G. B. Carpenter, president of the Cht- cago 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 shé does not do as a man would and gather to- gether 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.” Truths About American Women. Mt Is strange in the old world what credit is given to us for a tremendous energy and enthusiasm. A writer has many nice things to say of American women: “To hear from Americans, those on the spot, : \y, at New York and Boston, is like being brought in touch with very eager young people, for whatever the age of the American, he or she is so young at heart, go ahead, enthusiastic. We of the older nation ought to be glad to get new ideas from them. As she is the best of travelers abroad, #0 is she the most careful of cooks, the daintiest keeper of furniture and linen at home.” War d Auction Co.

The original "boulevard" was a bulwark or horizontal part of the rampart and an "esp'ade" was originally the glacis or slope of the counterscarp of a fortified place. A writer 200 years ago noted that the word boulevard was now "chiefly taken for the void space between the glacis of a citidel and the first houses of a town." Hence its extension to other "void spaces" suitable for promenading. The old French "esplanade" was defined by Cotgrave as "a planing, leveling, evening of ways," from Latin "explanare," to smooth or flatten out whence the English words "explain" and "explanation." Salaries of Chinese Actors. A company of thirty actors can be engaged for the equivalent of $30 in China, to play as many dramas and comedies as may be desired for two days at a stretch. The ordinary seats cost about a half cent, the best run to three or four cents. Chamber of Commerce Districts. The German Empire is divided into 145 chamber of commerce districts. Each chamber of commerce has control of its own finances and is compelled by law to appoint an able and experienced man as secretary. The Secret of Colds Habitual colds are due to an ill-kept skin on the outside and dyspeptic mucous membranes on the inside, the result of indigestion, coupled with carelessness, according to an authority. A MODERN MIRACLE. "Truly miraculous seemed the recovery of Mrs. Mollie Holt of this place," writes J. O. R. Hooper, Woodford, Tenn., "she was so wasted by coughing up puss from her lungs. Doctors declared her end so near that her family had watched by her bedsideforty-eight hours; when, at my urgent request Dr. King's New Discovery was given her, with the astonishing result that improvement began, and continued until she finally completely recovered, and is a healthy woman today."

She Uses the Spools. A young woman stenographer, whose business experience has not robbed her of her domestic inclira- tions, makes a good use of the spools on which her typewriter ribbons are wound. She washes them well to re- move any suspicion of ink, and uses them to wind baby ribbons, pieces of lace and other odds and ends on. The spools are very well made, and fill thelr extra role very well, indeed. Hereditary Elephant Catchers. In the Batticaloa District of Ceylon hereditary elephant catchers live. These men follow the elephants in the jungle with a moose of strong raw hide, and seize the oportunity of an animal raising its foot to slip the noose round it, and then take a turn round a tree with the other end. The victim is soon reduced to submission by starvation. Weighing Pearls. The method of weighing pearls dif- fers from that of other gems, they being measured by their weight in grains. The grain used is not that of the troy grain, but is four-fifths of it, so that four troy grains are equal to five pearl grains, and a troy ounce contains 600 pearl grains.—Baltimore Herald.

Stand 19 & Champa HAS HUMAN ADVERTISING CARD Chicagoan Has Found Novel Way to Increase Business. A young and energetic coal merchant of the northwest slide has invented a new way to advertise his business. It is probably the most modern one of its kind, and to say the least, it is attractive to the eye—especially to those of the masculine persuasion. His invention is a petite brunette of nineteen summers, as pretty as a fairy queen, and the only fear of the coal merchant is that some of his cusharms, will marry her and take her away before he can amass a fortune at the coal business by having her in the office as a drawing card. This young man is the employer of the "human advertising card" and the owner of the fuel store said that he concluded previous to buying the place that the only thing that would draw trade would be a beautiful young girl in the office whose sole duties were to sit in front of the window and look happy. 'But her orders upon starting at her newly appointed position were these: "Do not flirt; sit and look wise." This is all the young woman has to do all day, as the energetic young coal merchant attends to all the office duties. Of course, there is no danger of the employer becoming infatuated with his help. Several sign painters have called at the place demanding that she join their union, alleging for a reason that her presence in the office does away with the necessity of lettering the windows. — Chicago Chronicle. Martin Luther's Wedding Ring. Martin Luther's wedding ring was discovered in 1829 in a second-hand shop in Geneva by Mme. Michael Girod, and is now at Waldenberg. It is made of silvert gilt, and is believed to have been designed by the celebrated painter and goldsmith, Lucas Cranach, and probably was wrought with his own hands, for he was one of the three men selected by Luther as witnesses of his marriage. The design is complicated and includes the several symbols of the Passion. In the center is a figure of the crucified Savior; on one side is the spear with which His side was pierced and on the other side the ladder used at the crucifixion. There is a leaf of hyssop, the dice with which the soldiers cast lots for His garments, three nails, a crown of thorns and other symbols connected with the last act of the Atonement, so grouped as to form a cross with a tiny ruby at the joint, which represents a drop of blood. It is inscribed "D. Martino Luther—Catherinan Boren, 13 June, 1589." How He Would Stop a Runaway. A returned traveler who spent half of his holiday in a tour of Ireland brought back a sample of the happy-go-lucky wit of the Irish "jarvey," or driver. In a breakneck race down a hill he suddenly realized that the spirited little Irish mare was running away. "Pull her up!" he shouted, excitedly. "Hold tight, your honor," returned the jarvey, easily. "Pull her up!" again commanded the traveler, making a grab for the reins. "For your life don't touch the reins," the jarvey answered, without tightening his grip. "Sure, they're as rotten as pears." The traveler made ready to jump, but the jarvey laid a soothing hand THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. "Sit easy," he said, reassuringly, "I'll turn her into the river at the bridge below here. Sure, that'll stop her."—Reynolds' Newspaper. Jimmy's Version. A teacher of primary grades in a public school tells the following: Jimmy was called on to read, and getting up from his seat, recited in a sing-song voice this legend from a second reader: "See the cow. Can the cow run. Yes, the cow can run. Can the cow run as swiftly as the horse? No, it cannot run as swiftly as the horse." "Now, Jimmy," said the teacher, "do you understand what you read?" "Sure thing!" screamed Jimmy. "Well, then close your book and tell me in your own words what you understand." This was Jimmy's version: "Get on to de cow. Kin her jinny legs run? Betcher life, dey kin. Kin de kow do de horse a-runnin'? Nit. De cow ain't in it wild de horse no how!" Lavish Gifts of the Mortons. Former Vice President Levi P. Morton has given to Rhinecliff, near which his home, Ellerslie, is situated, an industrial home and reading room, to cost $50,000. The new building will have a gymnasium, baths, reading rooms, library and assembly hall. In the same village Miss Mary Morton, a daughter of Mr. Morton, has established a holiday farm, where the convalescent crippled poor of New York are cared for. Reward for Faithful Service. A. H. McLeod, freight traffic manager of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, is to retire from that position, which he has held for thirty years.

This place he will hold for life. Under the Gaslight.

Baron Komura is a diplomat of the purely Oriental type, suave and unreadable. In appearance he is small, black-eyed and slender. His countenance is wrinkled like old parchment, his jaw pointed and firmly set, and his moustache black, scanty and stiff. His bristly hair is streaked with gray. He is well versed in diplomatic usages and especially with the effective roundabout diplomacy characteristic of the Russians—New York World. Crown Prince Rescues Woman. The other day the crown prince and princess of Germany, while riding in a motor car, came suddenly on an equestrian, whose horse reared and became unmanageable. The prince leaped out, seized the horse and quieted it, while the princess snap-shotted the incident with her camera. Nothing comes to him who is too tired to make an effort to get something. No matter how important you may there is always some one to give contrary thought. BROUGHT DEAD GIANT TO KING Kidnaper Had Forgotten Victim Would Need to Breathe. One of the most industrious of the man-thieves who recruited the famous regiment of giants for King Frederick William of Prussia was Baron Hompesch, whose many successes led him once to cast covetous eyes upon a very lengthy joiner. He ordered of the joiner a chest or cupboard which should be as long and broad as the worker himself. In due course the baron called round. The cupboard had been finished, but he protested that it was too small. This the carpenter denied and laid himself within it as proof of its dimensions. No sooner had he done so than servants of the baron clapped down the lid and had the giant prisoner. They carried him off to the court, but when the lid was opened, instead of a giant there rolled out a corpse. The man had been stifled. In his anger the king sentenced the baron to death, but reprieved him when he wanted more giants. KNEW SOURCE OF THE "IDEES" James Russell Lowell's Letter Reassured Mrs. Spofford. While James Russell Lowell was editor of the Atlantic Monthly he frequently accepted stories written by Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford, with whom he enjoyed a personal friendship. Mrs. Spofford, however, feared that he might be taking them because of his interest in her and not for the merit of her work. She resolved to put the matter to a test. Her handwriting was peculiar. One of the most characteristic letters was her d, to the end of which she gave a queer little crook, toward the left. In order to disguse her work she had her sister copy one of her stories before sending it to the editor. Mr. Lowell accepted it in a letter, in which he wrote: "The d's may not be yours, but there is no mistaking the 'idees.'" Layman's Praise. A well-known presiding elder tells a good story at his own expense. He was asked one day to preach at a colored church where a money raising occasion had been announced, and the pastor of the charge, desiring to impress the congregation with the importance and dignity of the speaker of the day, thus introduced him: "Brethren and sisters, it is now my great pleasure and delight to introduce the Rev. Mr. Blank, the sounding brass and de tinkling cymbal of the Methodist church." When a fellow-pastor addressed the same congregation some months later he was introduced as "the great obstacle of the Methodist church."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Henry Irving's Stage Revolution. Sir Henry Irving was the first actor to make slenderness acceptable, or tolerable, on the English stage. Until his time fatness had been obligatory; it is difficult to realize now the full convention of chest and shoulders and calves. Comparatively lately a man of stage experience was urgent with a company of English amateurs that all the thin women and all the lean men should be made plump. "Nothing," he said, "is so impossible on the stage as thinness." Irving changed all this because his genius was wedded to uncompromising thinness. Who Ate Roger Williams? Many a schoolboy knows the legend of Rogers Williams; the story that the Rhode Island pioneer was buried beneath the roots of an apple tree, and, having enriched its growth with his late mortal casement, must subsequently have been partaken of by the passers-by who ate the fruit of the now famous apple tree. A few years ago the old story was told to the scholars of a grammar school in a Maine town. Not long afterward the school was addressed by a gentleman from Ireland, the parent of one of the scholars, and not a public speaker by profession. When the teacher asked him to address the pupils he arose, but was unable to think of anything to say, and finally proposed that the scholars should ask him any question they might like answered. A boy in the front row, whose geography had perhaps become somewhat mixed, inquired, "Who ate Roger Williams?" The gentleman from Ireland scratched his head a moment; then, his native wit coming to the rescue, blurted out: "Roger MacWilliams, is it? How the divvil do I know? Who do they suspect?" Animals Not Becoming Smaller. "It is a great mistake to conclude that it is a law of nature that recent animals are all small and insignificant as compared with their representatives in the past," says a scientist. "That is simply not true. Recent horses are bigger than extinct ones, and much bigger than three-toed and four-toed ancestors of horses. Recent elephants are as big as any that have existed, and much bigger than their early elephantine ancestors. There never has been any creature of any kind—mammal, reptile, bird or fish—in any geological period we know of so big as some of the existing whales." Wedding Invitations in Wales. In the following quaintly formal letter the parents of Welsh brides sometimes bid their friends attend the wedding and bid them also not come empty-handed: "Whatever donation you may be pleased to bestoy will be thankfully received and cheerfully repaid whenever called for on a similar occasion. The parents of the bride and bridegroom-elect desire that all gifts due to them will be returned to them on the above date and will be thankful for all favors granted." Artist's Aim Was Perfection. When Hogarth was almost at the height of his fame he painted an interior which was somewhat severely criticised by a friend. The artist acknowledged the justness of the criticism, and when his frank friend had left the studio he took a sharp knife, deliberately cut the canvas in two, and then threw the pieces into the coal scuttle. There they were found the following day by one of the maids, who took the pieces home. How to Best Acquire a Languages. The best way to study a language and to learn its grammar is to begin with sentences, not with single words. The unit of speech is the sentence, and we cannot fix an exact meaning to a word until we see it in a sentence. When once a sufficient number of sentences has been "assimilated," it will be easy to analyze them into their component parts, and to show the relations that these bear to one another.

Franklin Pierce’s “Boring.” Judge Eastman of Manchester, N. H., related that at one time Gen. Franklin Plerce was opposed to the Hon. Matt Hubbard in some cause in t New Hampshire court. The gen- tral’s strong point was his Influence over a jury, and in this particular case the eyes of every juryman were suf: fused with tears by his pathetic plead- Ing. Mr. Hubbard, in a gruff voice, sald in his reply: “Gentlemen of the jury, understand that I am not boring for water.” And: this opening complete- ly neutralized the effect of the gen- eral’s eloquence, PINN’S JERSEY Dairy and Grocery H.

Prompt re ply by mail Pork Chops Sacrificed to save the Salmon Packer From Loss. The salmon packer McLauren arrived from Alaska this morning with a hard luck story to tell, having found out when too late the "Jozah" aboard that caused a light catch, several minor mishaps and finally almost a wreck from which the vessel escaped with the loss of her keelson. The cause of all this misfortune, her crew solemnly aver, was a pet pig, which was destined to supply chops and spare ribs on the homeward voyage. The good ship finally shook herself free from the hoodoo and made a fine run down the coast. It happened in this way: Coming out of the roadstead at Nogashak, with only 6,200 cases aboard, owing to the porcine hoodoo, the ship ran onto a reef and seemed a hopeless loss. She rolled helplessly on the swell, the rock grinding cruelly at her hull. She gave one roll more distressing than the others, and presto! the pet pig went by the board with a banshee wall of despair and was seen no more. Immediately the ship righted herself and on the next wave slid on the reef, scraping her sides in the act. From that moment she acted like a new creature. Her crew are bewailing the fact that the pig was not lost on the outbound trip. They figure the cost of having a Jonah aboard as several thousand dollars.—San Francisco Bulletin. No Wonder She Didn't Care. The little girls were sitting on the front porch counting "shooting" stars. "We had something last night that you didn't have," tauntingly remarked one of the older ones looking at 10-year-old Miss Muffet. "Bet you didn't. What did you have?" remarked Miss Muffet. "Claret sody," the tantalizer replied with a condescending smile. "That's nothing." Miss Muffet vouchsafed with supreme confidence. "I had a chocolate sundae and five cents' worth of candy, and I ate all the cardy myself." "And when we came home," the older one continued, "we had some ice cream made in our own freezer." Miss Muffet paused a moment to think. Then she added with calm resignation: "Well, I don't care. I had the stummick ache anyway."—Kansas City Star. "Fighting Bob" "Took Big Chances. During the recent visit of the first division of the North Atlantic squadron to Portland plans for entertaining Read Admiral Evans and his officers were spoiled by the sudden indisposition of "Fighting Bob." A party of ladies were exploring the flagship under the guidance of a grizzled quartermaster, when one of them, referring to the awkward circumstances, remarked, inquiringly: "I suppose you sailors are sorry that the admiral is sick?" "Indeed we are, mum," said the quartermaster. "But," lowerling his voice confidently, "we all know the old man was in for it when we saw him sampling the grub that's served out to us fellows for'ard." Count Witte Gave Gorki Liberty.

The unprecedented sympathy of which he is the object is a proof of the attention with which the intellectual world follows the development of Russia and of the regard which is felt for the Russian writer outside his own country." Ira D. Sankey Writing Life History. Hopelessly blind and confined to his bed at his home in Brooklyn, Ira D. Sankey, the famous evangelical singer and partner of the late Dwight L. Moody, is putting into book form the story of his gospel experiences. The book will be called "Moody and Sankey and the Story of Their Gospel Hymns." Deprived of his sight and confined to his bed for the last six or seven months and living in the atmosphere of retrospection, the work of compiling the new book has been a joy to him. He dictates the songs and stories, brought back by memory, to his secretary and stenographer, who transcribes them. What She Had Taken in Physics. The following story is told by Dr. F., formerly superintendent of public schools in a Maine town: A young girl came to the doctor, saying that she wished to enter the high school. She passed the entrance examinations successfully. Then the doctor asked, "What have you taken in physics?" "Well," she replied, "I've never taken much in physics, but I've always heard that salts were about the best." A Noisy Call. "I'm afraid my popularity with Miss Goldleaf is nearing its finish."

Entered at the postoffice, Denver, Black Phone us your COMPETITION THAT COMPETES Entered at the postoffice, Denver, Colorado, as second class mailmatter. Civil service has shown a kindly spirit towards the aspiring Negro in Denver, so far as the postal service is concerned. We enumerate the various employes of the two departments here and wish to point out a lesson which is old yet so new, so simple yet so little understood that it can be spoken of with profit at this time. The oldest employee is Chas. G. Burdine, who has been a clerk for twenty-four years; Julius W. Fields has been employed eight years; John C. Harris, six years; R. E. Webster, four years; Walter Chapman, three years; A. G. Falling, seven months. Of the carriers, John C. Porter is the oldest, being in the service six years; John Lange follows with five years; Harvey Page, three years; Charles R. Hall, three years; Joseph Montier, three years; J. H. Byrd, two years; Octavius Dishman, two years; J. E. Porter, six months; George E. Patterson, six months in the special delivery branch. These seventeen employees of the postal service have been made possible by the kind of work the early appointees have done. It has been no secret that the colored men in the postoffice strive to please and have as great capability as any in the government employ. We would take occasion to point out special meritorious work on the part of individuals were it not that all stand so high. In the estimation of those in charge the kind of work a man does is not regulated by his color, because some of these ```markdown ``` THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. 2207. your news. printing orders. men are doing special work that calls for extra application and ability. It is to the praise of former Postmaster Twombly that he appreciated the good work of colored men in the department and gave them opportunity to make good, and it must be said that Postmaster Sours has continued the policy of his predecessor, for out of the seventeen all but three are their appointees. Now for what it teaches the many of us who do not work for the postal department. Had the old clerks and carriers been men who were uniformly bad the accusation would have stood that colored men were unfit for the service and by the same token, when they not only maintained the standard of the office, but assisted in raising it, they made possible the place for others. It is not according to the American standard that one man should be an argument for another, but so the practice is with regard to us and we must meet conditions. Just as in the postoffice seventeen men have found work through the good impression each succeeding appointee has made, so openings will appear in many directions if each Negro will be imbued with the spirit of upholding the race's cause. Co-Operative Presents. Co-operative wedding presents are now quite the fashion. When a couple are about to marry their friends combine forces and give them one or more handsome presents instead of a number of smaller ones. To avoid duplicates the bride-elect is often asked to say what she would like to have. ```markdown ``` TERMS. Phone O. MURPHY, Main 4040.

Patience and Trust. You want to be true, and you are trying to be. Learn these two things—never be discouraged because good things get on slowly here, and never fail daily to do that good which lies next to your hand. Do not be in a hurry, but be diligent. Enter into that sublime patience of the Lord. Be charitable in view of it. God can afford to wait; why cannot we, since we have him to fall back upon? Let patience have her perfect work, and bring forth her celestial fruits. Trust to God to weave your thread into a great web, though the pattern shows it not yet.—George McDonald. Floating Gardens. Although the floating gardens of Mexico were at one time of great celebrity, covered with rare tropical plants and brilliant with gay colored flowers, yet still more interesting are the rural floating islands which are now being swept seaward on the great rivers of South America by hundreds and thousands, large and small and swarming with a menagerie of wild and excited animals. The zoological gardens of Buenos Ayres have received an addition of about fifty different species of tropical animals rescued from the islands passing down the Rio de la Plata. An Old Epitaph. An old churchyard near London is famous for the inscriptions on its tombstones. There is one on the memorial of Susannah Barford, died, 1652, set, 10 years and 13 weeks. The concluding lines beneath the skull and crossbones on her monument are: Her stage was short, her thread was quickly spun. Drawne out and cutt, got heaven, her worke was done. This world to her was but a traced play. Shee came and saw't, dislik't, and passed away. Weather Reports Save Money. In spite of the standing joke about the weather man, it is probable that for every dollar spent on the weather bureau $10 are saved. At the time of the Mississippi flood of 1897 $15,000.000 worth of live stock and other valuable property were saved as a result of warnings issued a week ahead. Signals displayed for a single hurricane have detained in port vessels valued, with the cargoes, at $20,000,000. The West Indian stations, established in 1898, inform us of hurricanes as soon as they begin. The course of the hurricane that caused the Galveston flood was charted for a week before it struck our shores—for hurricanes move slowly. Eighty-five per cent of the forecasts now come true, and by the aid of rural free delivery 25,000.000 forecast cards were distributed last year to farmers, many of whom could not have had them five years ago.—Country Life in America. Schoolboy Manufactured Nelson Relic. A well-known Norfolk landowner makes the statement that the brick bearing Nelson's initials preserved under a glass case at Paston grammar school is not a relic of the great admiral, but was the result of a schoolboy's "lark" about twenty-four years ago. At that time Rider Haggard's father stated that Nelson, while at the school had carved his initials on one of the walls. As the boys could not find the brick bearing the initials, one of them conceived the brilliant idea of supplying the defect, which he promptly did, filling up the initials with moss and earth to give them a properly ancient appearance. The Norfolk landowner declares that he saw the boy do it, that there are other eyewitnesses living, and that if he is challenged he will give their names. DENVER DOINGS.
