FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society UP TO ATTORNEY GENERAL EIGHTEENTH YEAR. UP TO ATT NEY The interpreting of the law respecting society emblems has been passed up to the attorney general by the secretary of state. It is within the range of possibility that the whole law will be declared unconstitutional in his opinion. It is to be hoped that such will be the case. The Anfenger bill is an attempt to inject into this state the class legislation of Southern states. Prejudice exists here as in other parts of this country, but it has never worked such hardship as will obtain under this law. The color of the wearer of the pins has always been sufficient guide for the fraternal orders of both races to distinguish their own. It is a gratuitous imposition upon the one or the other for any law to give one or the other the exclusive right to emblems merely upon the priority of application. It is a law virtually making the secretary of state the dictator over lodges. It is vicious in that it is retroactive and deprives innocent persons of privileges which they acquired with no intention of wrong doing and which were in keeping with law at the time. Many of the fraternities which exist both among whites and negroes have long since passed the limit of time when it can reasonably be claimed that confusion results and in the case of the one or two that such a claim can be made for, it is sufficient to say that if they are not protected under the copyright and patent laws of the country and have placed their --- DENVER.

Five new members were initiated in Rocky Mountain Lodge of Masons Monday night, bringing its membership up to the highest number it has had for many years. At the same meeting there was appropriated nearly a thousand dollars to pay on their property at Twenty-second and Arapahoe streets. The lodge hopes to pay off the balance in the next six months. A monster picnic is arranged for July 2 at Bloomfield Park, the proceeds of which are to be the nucleus of the remaining indebtedness. Several persons are applying for membership at the next meeting night. COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. The club organized sometime ago by Mrs. Jennie Henderson was set up into a Temple of Sisters of Mysterious Tens by Grand Master William Rhodes. The Temple is to be known as Victoria Temple No. 6. Out of the 50 names solicited 30 were present on Saturday night. The rest are to be obligated Friday night. The officers for the ensuing year are as follows: Mrs. Jennie Henderson, M. N. P. Mrs. Ella Logan, V. P. Mrs. Chas. Collins, M. S. Mrs. Laura Craig, M. T. Mrs. Millie Henderson, Chaplain. THE GOVERNOR IS ALARMED (From Our Washington Correspondent) Ex-Governor Northern of Georgia has recently stated that the South is drifting into barbarism, their hold on civilization is slipping away, something must be done. And this is the new South, so-called; but is it not the same South we have had for 300 years? We believe it is. True, it is new in commercial development, new in its method of oppression of the black man, but oppressive still, and it can never rise above its present throes of darkness unless it respects the laws of the land. Governor Northern is crying in the wilderness. He sees the calamity which awaits the South unless it changes from the paths in which it is now marching He is the friend of the South, he loves it, he would save it from itself, he cries aloud, but no one seems to heed the clarion note. In the '50s, Alex- A BAD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW A BAD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW Many horrible examples of lawlessness have recently been given by the white race of America to the colored people, whom they are pleased to call "imitative," "criminal," "prone to commit the unpardonable offense." What do the white people say about the Thaw case, the Strother case, and last, but not least, the Loving-Estes case? Added to these may be mentioned the Harriman-Roosevelt discussion and the Moyer-Haywood-Roosevelt exchanges of epithets. Now, this is very deplorable and very demoralizing to the youth of the land. But we are glad to say that the colored people, opposed as they are to Mr. Roosevelt, have maintained themselves throughout their opposition to his wrongs upon a plane of lofty American dignity; and they look with much chagrin upon the coarse and objectionable epithets that are being hurled back and forth in these troublous times. We simply remind the white people of the country of this procedure for their own enlightenment. Surely this reign of lawlessness is nearly over. RNOR ALARMED ander H. Stephens cried aloud to his section. He warned them that war meant death and desolation to their section, which he loved so well. He wanted justice; but the radicals forced the issue then, as they are forcing the issue now. The result then was a civil war. What will the result be tomorrow? Governor Northern sees, Judge Speer sees, Joseph C. Manning sees, Judge Jones sees; they are preaching against the calamity which awaits their section. But they cannot be heard above the din and roar of Graves, the most dangerous of all Southern men; Hoke Smith, Vardaman, Tillman, and the others of their belief who have control of the affairs of the South today. They cannot, or will not, heed the warning. Who can lead the South, the white South, to civilization? LE TO FOLLOW AN EDUCATIONAL CLUB. And so an educational club has been organized in the District of Columbia. Among the members of the club we notice the name of Professor Kelly Miller, A. M., of Howard university. This is significant for the reason that Professor Miller has gone over to the views held by Dr. Washington respecting the colored people of the country. This is partly borne out by the fact that he is to give a sociological exhibit at the Jamestown Exhibit; while at the same time earning his living teaching in an institution which was founded for the education of all the youths of all races of all the earth. Professor Miller cannot hope to take the lead in the field of begging and industrialism; Mr. Washington has monopolized that field, and the best that he will do is to allow Professor Miller, A. M., educator, sociologist, scholar, brilliant writer, philosopher, lecturer, master mathematician, a college man, postgraduate of Johns Hopkins university, to hang on to his "kite tail."

NCUMORE EOL ERUDGE State of Colorado, or, if served by WAIT F Dr. Thompton's Scheme for saving |Diicaon, within sixty, days ‘trom | Women from Cooking. ll Pe Dr. Robert Ellis Thompson of Phil delphia has a vision, if we may apply such a word to the well-pondered plan of a man of science, remarks a writer in Everydody’s. Woman, the home maker and mother, should not be ham- pered by household drudgery. Cook: ing is a matter of chemistry and will be done by men. All the tedious chores o2 housework, washing, dish- washing, scrubbing, ironing, sweep ing, housecleaning—oh, word of hor: Tor to the ears of man—will be done by publie corporations, syndicates, scientific co-operative housework con- cerns. f Houses wil! be heated from a cen- tral plant and swept by | hydraulic brooms. Meals will come from the grand central cookery or its nearest branch. Stairs will be supplanted by automatic elevators. Washing day will disappear from the week. Even now many women send a telephone call for window cleaners, ang have their husband's “socks” darned by Specialists. In the cities you can have your clocks wound and your lamps trimmed and tended by outside ex perts. In the Norwegian town of Ber gen everybody's food comes from the town kitchen. In Paris the workman gets his hot soup from the grand cen- tral dinner kettle, Happy day, if it ever comes, when women have no servants and no household drudgery to earn wrinkles by! We do not understand, however, just how a woman whose husband “gets ten per” is going to have that automatic elevator. Do the city, the town, the state pay all for these “pri- vate utilities,” mado “public utilities.” Rich women escape drudgery aow ilow ara poor women to do it? NOTIFY US AT ONCE.

The following first aid advice was given by Dr. N. B. Gambrill at a recent meeting of railway surgeons: "Don't put your finger on an open wound; don't put a quid of tobacco on a wound, no matter how small it may be; don't use cobwebs or hornet's nest to stop bleeding; don't dose the patient with whisky, brandy, rum or gin; don't bind or cover a wound with a handkerchief or rag—if you cannot get a first aid packet use clean old muslin that has been dipped in boiling water for a few minutes; don't sit a patient up when he is very pale or weak; don't wash a wound, and don't remove blood clots." These hints are meant for public instruction for those of the laity who may have occasion to extend first aid in case of accidents. A Tribute to the Farmer. A distinguished scholar and farmer is quoted in the World's Work as having paid this eloquent and, on the whole, just tribute to the farmer: "Farming is a profession requiring more shrewdness than law, more technical training than medicine, more uprightness than theology, more brains and resourcefulness than pedagogy. The other professions are parasites." This is rather hard on the other professions, but still, none too much can be paid the conqueror of the soil. Youth's Companion. Cruel Fate. Reader, think of being rudely awakened from such a dream as this: "We had a dream last night that we wish had come true. We was empiring a game of ball, and one of the teams was made up this way: Schlitz, c.; Pabst, 1b; Miller, 2b; Schorr, 2b; Gerst, ss.; Anheuser, rf; Busch, cf; Cook, lf; and Lemp, p. We decided every point in favor of this team and when the game was over they sent us a wagon load of bottled beer and we was about to sample the stuff, when it rained through the roof on our face and woke us up."—Hardman (Tenn.) Free Press. Dervish Whirling Record. A new record for dervish whirling is believed to have been established at Madison Garden, New York, by the performance of Marie Bayrooty, from Beirut, who kept herself awhirl spinning like a human top for 32 minutes. The former record for dervish whirling is given as 25 minutes. After whirling for a quarter of an hour she asked for an orange, which she ate, still whirling. Then she ate two bananas. Hay's Premonition of Death Secretary Hay, less than a year ago, predicted that he would not live twelve months longer. This was in conversation with James Dubois, a state department official, and others. The latter expressed the hope that Mr. Hay would remain in the cabinet during this presidential term, and thus serve longer as secretary of state than any of his predecessors. The secretary said: "No, I shall not live to serve another year." GARDENS HERE AND ABROAD. Fundamental Difference in Their Relation to the Family. There is a fundamental difference between the English and the American garden, writes Prof. L. H. Bailey in the Garden Magazine. The Englishman's garden is well nigh as essential as his house. It is like an extra room to the residence. It is for the family rather than for the public. It therefore works itself into developing consciousness of children, and garden love becomes as much a part of the person as books and furniture and music do. An English teacher recently inspected the study work at Cornell university. "What surprises me," she said, "is that you need to do such work. The English child loves nature as if by instinct." The American garden is likely to be all in front yard. It is usually of the look-at-me kind. It is made for the public to see. This may contribute to public spirit and civic betterment, but it loses in originality and vitality. His Lecture Illustrated. ...A gathering in an Eastern town which was violently dispersed, was held in a little hall rarely used. There was no desk for the speaker of the evening, so one was lugged out of the cellar. No sooner had the speaker begun to pound the old desk in his enthusiasm than a hornet flew out. Another hornet followed. The audience began to wave their hands wildly in the air. Other hornets came and the faces of some of the members of the audience began to swell visibly. Then there was a mad rush for the door, and the speaker was left alone to fight off the angry insects whose nest he had disturbed. He was to have given a lecture on "The Hotbed of the Rebellion." Transferring Daniel. A clergyman, recently engaged with another of a different belief in a controversy regarding some questions of religion, sent to a newspaper office a long article, supporting his side of the question. The manuscript had been "set up" in type for the next day's issue. About midnight the telephone bell rang furiously, the minister at the other end asking for the city editor. "I am sorry to disturb you at such a late hour," he said, "but I am in great trouble." "What can I do for you?" was asked. "In the article I sent you to-day I put Daniel in the fiery furnace. Please take him out and put him in the lions' dea." Horses' Shoes Get Hot. Popular Mechanics says that a horse shod with metal shoes should not be driven rapidly on an asphalt pavement. The heat produced is painful to the animal and may be injurious. It cites an instance where two men indulged in a friendly horse race on asphalt. One of the horses cast a shoe and when the rider picked it up it blistered his hand and did not cool off for several minutes. At each step the horse slips a little and this constant friction of the metal shoe under weight upon the sand in the pavement generates a high degree of heat. Fame a Wild Beast. "Literary fame," said a well-known author whose name a few years ago was in everybody's mouth." Is more easily caught than kept. He who has a reputation to maintain has a wild beast in his house which he must constantly feed or it will feed on him. He who writes in a modern language is but the suicide of his own fame, scribbling with sand what the next wave of time will obliterate; he gets a short respite, not a pardon, from oblivion." Modern Version of an Old Tale. A small maid returned from school the other day filled with the enthusiasm of discovery. "Oh, mamma," she began, "teacher told us about a boy who said 'Wolf! Wolf!' lots of times when there wasn't any wolf there." "And what did the story mean?" inquired mamma. "Why," said the child, greatly surprised at her mother's inability to put two and two together: "why, it means never be a tiar-telier but once." Alexis Piron. Alexis Piron, a native of Dijon, is perhaps most notorious for his epitaph. "Here lies Piron, who was nothing—not even an academician." One night he was asked at a party if he could tell the difference between a woman and a mirror. "A woman." he replied, "talks without reflecting; a mirror reflects without talking." Upon this a lady asked, "Can you now, M. Piron, tell me the difference between a man and a mirror?" And as M. Piron remained silent she went on, "A mirror is always polished, while a man sometimes is not." Window Glass Better Than Lint. "I have found that a small sheet of window glass makes a splendid substitute for lint as a bandage." said the visiting surgeon to several dispensaries. "This is especially true in treatment of burns, when a piece of glass slightly larger than the burn is cut out and smeared with carbolic oil. It is pressed firmly upon the burn, and its edges packed with absorbent cotton to keep out the air. No pain is caused by the removal of such a bandage, which can be washed, made thoroughly antiseptic, and then replaced. I have tried watch crystals as an experiment with much success." Vapor and Icy Bath. In Finland a novel kind of vapor bath has become popular. The person who proposes to enjoy it lies at full length in a hammock, which is suspended over a bath filled with ice cold water. Into this water the attendant throws some hot bricks and then a vapor arises which enwraps the person in the hammock. For some minutes he lies there exposed to the steam, and then the attendant, after removing the bricks, gives the hammock a jerk and rends him splashing into the water. Postilence in the East. The English Church Missionary Society calls attention to the fearful ravages of pestilence in several countries in which its agents are at work. In Uganda the sleeping sickness has desolated Busoga and the northern shores of the Victoria lake, and is fast depopulating the Sese islands. The plague in the Punjab has been claiming as many as 20,000 victims in a month, while cholera, which has laid thousands low in Palestine, is now raging in Persia. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Croesus—he of the fabulous wealth —had a passion for dealing in futures and otherwise beating the flag. Hence he was a good patron of the oracie at Delphi. At this just famous Inforroa- tion bureau the medium in charge de- rived her inspiration from breathing certain evil.smelling vapors that rose from the earth through a cleft in the rock. Being aware of the length of Croesus’ roll she used to soak him ac- cordingly for her services. One day when she touched him rather harder than usual !t chanced that Croesus had previously made a bad deal in Bitbynian real estate and was not feeling strong. So he remonstrated. “l am on to your game. | know what it is that puts you wise,” said he “It's gas, just gas, and a poor quality of natural gas at that. You, madam, ought to be aware that semetime gas will sell a@ low as 75 cents a thou- sand feet even in Chicago.” “Nay, nay!” laughed the pythoness, “not while the world maintains a full line of plutocrats Mke Croesus, O your majesty, and the courts to match.

New Drink That Pleases Both the Eve and the Palate. : ee bee ane eee eee _ “Now, the Manhattan smash, made ‘first by Tom Powers, is made im a champagne glass,” says the Kansas City Times. “You pour thres different colored liquors into the stem of the glass; so. You must do it carefully so they don’t mix. Then you drop a cherry into the bow! on top of the stem and shut the liquors in; they don’t mix with the top drink at all. They're there just for the color effect. But they come down in the end and give you the tang that makes the Man- hattan smash the ordinary Manhat- tan—with a difference. Then you take a long glass and smash an orange in it, fill {t with broken ice and over Shat the ordinary Manhattan. Last you must pour that into your cham- pagne glass without disturbing the cherry or the liquors in the stem. And when that is done,” said the bar- keeper, handing the glass to his friend, “you have the manhattan smash. Try it” The guest held the glass with its murky, orange-tinted bow! up to the light. At the base of the bow! lay the red cherry “shining like a good deed in a naughty world,” and under that the stem of three colored liquors. He drained the glass. “It's Manhattan,’ he said, “and a sensation.” Half a dozen men along the bar counter had listened to the exposition with curious interest. The curious guest turned with an ineffable light in his face DION’T NEED THE MONEY, Elderly Man Declined to Prevaricate for Fitty Cents. The Hon. David Barker, poet anc lawyer of Penobscot county, Me., user to relate the following on himself: There was an old man where he commenced practice who never would pay bills until forced to by law. One day Mr. Barker received a bill against the old man for collection, with orders to sue at once, but instead of suing at tnce he sent a kindly letter, asking the delinquent to call and settle and fave costs. The only result was the old man took great pains to talk about and ridicule the young lawyer at the corner grocery and postoffice Finally suit was brought and judg- ment rendered, with costs. One of the cost items was fifty cents for the Vetter, To this the old man objected @trenuously. Finally tne lawyer said: “If you will take back what you said about me at the store and postoffice, and say you was mistaken and you Guess that young lawyer is a pretty Rood fellow after all, I will throw out that Item.” To this the old man replied: “lam an old man; over 80 years old. I've done a great many mean things in my day, but I am too near eternity to teil such a gosh Carned ile as that for fifty cents.” Abou Ben Adhem, Move Up!

The proof of the value of our work is that we are be- ing imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that “theirs is the same” or “just as good”) or referred to “PORO.” We advise you to use only “PORO” Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind).

FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" So STRAIGHTENS KINKY or CURLY HAIR that it can be put up in any style desired consistent with its length. Ford's Hair Pomade was formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" and is the only safe preparation known to us that makes kinky or curly hair straight, as shown above. Its use makes the most stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair soft, pliable and easy to comb. These results may be obtained from one treatment; 2 to 4 bottles are usually sufficient for a year. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, relieves itching, invigorates the scalp, stops the hair from falling out or breaking off, makes it grow and, by nourishing the roots, gives it new life and vigor. Being elegantly perfumed and harmless, it is a toilet necessity for ladies, gentlemen and children. Ford's Hair Pomade has been made and sold continuously since about 1888, and label, "OZONIZED OX MARROW," was registered in the United States Patent Office, in 1876. Be sure to get Ford's as its use makes the hair STRAIGHT, SOFT and PLIABLE. Beware of limitations. Remember that Ford's Hair Pomade is put up only in 50 ct. size, and is made only in Chicago and by us. The genuine has the signature, Charles Ford, Pest, on each package. Refuse all others. Full directions with every bottle. Price only 50 cts. Sold by druggists and dealers. If your druggist or dealer can not supply you, he can get it for you from his jobber or wholesale dealer or send us 50 cts. for one bottle postpaid, or $1.40 for three bottles or $2.50 for six bottles, express paid. We pay postage and express charges to all points in U.S. A. When ordering send postal or express money order, and mention name of this paper. Write your name and address plainly to The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co. (None genuine without my signature) Charles Ford Press 153 E. KINZIE ST., CHICAGO, ILL.

In this age of shams, however, even spiders’ webs may be fraudulently at- tached to wine bottles, for there is an elderly Frenchman named Pierre Gran- taire who makes a comfortable com- Petence by supplying unscrupulous wine dealers with specially bred spid- ers, at a fixed rate of $2.50 per 100, which may be relied upon, if turned loose amongst wine bottles, to at once Proceed to spin abundant webs upon them. The reason of this is that Pierre Grantaire keeps a large establishment at Philadelphia which he devotes to breeding spiders. They are kept in dark, cool rooms, which are rendered flyproof by means of double folding doors, between which a mosquito cur- tain is stretched, and the spiders are allowed to roam at their will about shelves, on which are placed numerous port bottles, If a spider spins on the wall or ina corner of a shelf, its web is promptly destroyed by the owner; but if one of these creatures spins on a bottle, it is promptly rewarded with a fly. Spiders that refuse to spin on bot- tles are kept without food, and from time to time, to encourage them to makes their webs on bottles, Grantaire sticks live files on the glass with spirit gum, and in the course of time the spiders become trained to only spin on bottles. When their ecucation is thus com- pleted, they are placed in separate compartments In light wooden boxes and dispatched to the fraudulent wine merchants, who make use of them to give their bottles the appearance of twenty years’ storage in cellars cool. Should the destination of these in- dustrious spinners be Europe, they are previously frozen, and are placed in the refrigerating chamber during the voyage. In this event the extra cost {s naturally borne by their purchasers.— Stray Stories. PLAIN SEWING 2214 Arapahoe St. Phone Main 8003 Denver DON’T FAIL TO ATTEND THE 1 WO...

The French Revolution was the subject discussed at the Richards Lit. erary Club last Thursday evening, The questions submitted were the fol- lowing: Could the French Revolution have been avoided had a great and strong ruler been upon the throne of France instead of Louis XVI? See. ond, Was the failure of King Louis XVI due to the fact that France had no written constitution? Those who participated in the discussion of the first proposition on the affirmative of the question were Miss Julia B. Jack son and Helen Jessie Moore, Mise Hallie Q. Brown, Miss Helen E, Jones, Miss Evans, Miss Evelyn Lynch, Miss Cotilde Houston and Mr. BE. G. Syphax Those who maintained that the revo- lution could have been averted relied upon Dumont, John Lord, Macauley Carlyle, Mignet, Edmund Burke, Alb son, the Encyclopedia Brittannica, Paine, Those taking the other view maintained that no man, no matter how great or how strong, could have averted the catastrophe which came. They contended that the seed of rev olution sown by Voltaire and Rosseau had taken such deep root, together with the recklessness of the predeces. sors of Louis XVI that the carnage which came had to come. Reforma tion, they argued, was not sufficient The French people of that time want ed blood, and blood they got. They argued also that the spirits such as Lafayette, fresh from the crowning victory of the American revolution, hatl-n-gveat influence in urging revo lution, All of the forces of more than a century, permeating, as they did, the very sub-strata of the populace, sowed the wind and reaped the whirl- wind. The discussiqgn waz highly cred- itable and reflected that higher view, which Professor Wm. H. Richards, the “mentor” of the cluy which bears his name, has given and shown the way to see and take. We congratulate the ladies with Prof. Richards, for they have made the year In this work the glowing success that it has been, FIGHT FOR SUPREMACY. Speculation is rife respecting, the outcome of the fight for supremacy in Ohio between Senator Foraker and Dick and Taft. We are already on record in this matter; we are for For. aker, the friend of law and liberty. We do not regard Senator Foraker the champion of the colored man, as such, we see in him the man who stands up for justice for all men, black and white, no more, no less. We would not say to the colored people that he loves us any more than he loves other races, but we do say he loves justice, and js willing to stand up and see that the rights of every man under the Constitution of the United States ure maintained, We ask for no more, we will never be satisfied with less, We are men, we will continue to struggle until we are in the posses: sion of these rights which men of right, In this republic, must enjoy. Senator Foraker stands for this view —Justice, For many months there has been a gradual decline in the discussion for and against Booker T, Washington, Peter Ogden’s man. But his corre- spondents seem to be taking special pains to attack the Niagara move- ment and the ideals which it repre- sents. We would think more of such criticism, if we did not know that the author is a hireling and writes, not what he is moved to by his con- science, but what he is told to write We hope the time will come when the talent of our brilliant correspond- ents will not be the willing tool of filthy lucre. Our need is MEN, real true MEN. Who will stand up and be counted? The thinking people of the country seem to be of one mind respecting Dr. Larmton becoming bishop of his church in 1908.

Usual Summons to Divine Service Found Him Ready. My grandfather by marriage, Daniel Lane, was a very devout churchgoer, and for thirty-eight years of his life, was a member of the First Unitarian Congregational church of Norton, Mass., and for twelve years one of its honored deacons. He was a devout worshiper, and I can well remember that he and one other, Judge Leon ard, used to stand up in their pews with bowed heads during the prayer service while all the other members of the congregation remained seated. In those days there was a row ot sheds back of the church, built by people who wished to protect their horses and carriages from the driving storms of winter, and the scorching suns of summer. One Of these sheds belonged to my grandfather. One Sunday morning the old geutle man was sick, and, instead of going to church, the family horse was turned into the yard to graze awhile. The ani- mal no rooner heard the ringing of the church bell than off he started at his usual Sabbath day trot, took his place in the familiar shed, where he stood still until the service was over when he joined in the procession of the other homeward-bound teams. — Boston Hrald. Identity of Sallie's Beau. An eminent New England minister, pastor for years of a Presbyterian church in Newburyport, and after ward of a prominent church in New Jersey, used to rejate with much amusement this story of his early days: While a student, working his way through Harvard, he at various \mes taught the district school near his childhood’s home in Bedford. On one occasion he was annoyed by the whispering of a tall, lank fel- low, just before him, and called him to order, demanding at the same time that he should tell what it was he was so anxious to impart to his neighbor's ears. The fellow repeatedly refused the request, but finally, when he could hold out no Jonger, blurted out, much to the confusion of the master: “I said, sir, Sallie had a beau home from meetin’ last night, but I didn't know it was you, sir; I didn’t know {t was you.” The Venue de Milo, The Venus de Milo has been !n tne Lovwre wince 1821, when it was pre ee sted to Louls XVIII by the French embassador at Constantinople, who found it on their farm in the island of Milos. Wild Animals Travel Fer. Wolves can, and often do, run 50 to 60 miles in a night. Foxes travel Great distances in search of food. Nansen saw an Arctic fox out on the ice 480 miles from the Asiatic coast Railways of the World. The world's railway mileage, accord- ing to latest figures, is 491,120, of which total North America possesses 221,697 miles. More than half has been bullt since 1880. Castle for American Aristocrat. D. Pomabley Orle of New York has bought 5,500 acres of land in the town of Monterey, Mass., and will build a castle on the property and maintain @ game preserve. (CE PREVENTS tiEAT’S ESCAPE Novel Device Used for Preservation of Fruit en Route. The use of ice for heating purposes is one of the oddities of our modern civilization. Often it happens that a train carrying fruit from the south to the northern market encounters & cold spell while en route. If the tem- perature goes below a certain point the perishable merchandise will be ruined. But it has been ascertained that such a misfortune may be pre vented by covering the fruit car with a coat of ice—a thing easily accom- plished by turning a hose upon it and allowing the water to freeze until the whole vehicle is enveloped in a glassy and glittering blanket. It may, indeed, be appropriately called a blanket, inasmuch as it pre- vents the radiation of heat from the interior of the car. The ice being a good non-conductor, the warmth is re- tained and the fruit, or possibly it may be vegetables, goes on its way anspoiled even by zero weather. Cars used for wansporting oranges and other fruit from California to the east are often provided nowadays with large cylindrical “ice stoves,” as they might be called, at each end, which, while useful in summer time for refrigeration, are filled with ice during a cold spell in winter, When the tempbrature outside is at zero or below, the fce, at thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit, fs relatively warm, and thus the “stoves” described act as beaters. THOUGHT HIM SLOW TO LEARN. Friend's Medical Education Astonish- ed Young Frenchman. A youne Brockton physician tells the following about himself: Upon his graduation from Brown university he went home to the west ern part of the state for a few days, and on the street met a young French- man, one of his comrades of the Span {sh war. This conversation ensued: “Hello, Fred; | hear you got through down at Brownse’s.” “Yes, I finished there Wednesday.” “Well, what you going to do now?” “I'm going to New York to study medicine.” “Hub! You going to be doctor. How long dat take?" “I'll have to study four years, any- way,” “Four years! Gee! Didn't you graduate from the high school here;” “Yes.” “And didn't you go four years at Brownse's ?" “Sure thing.” “And now you mean to tell me you fot to study four years more to be a doctor?” “I certainly have; and after that there will be two years in a hospital.” “Well, my God! you must te Uck- headed."—Boston Herald, Sound Reasoning. “Sambo,” sald the owner of a coun. try place to his gardner, “concerning that tree I wanted you to cut down, my wife thinks {t had better be al- lowed to stand.” “Well, Ah think it ought ter come down, Massa Brown,” was the reply, “What age your reasons for thinking so, Sambo?" “We—ll, sir, de first reason am dat de tree done keep de light off de green- house; de secon’ reason am dat it’s gettin’ old, and de third reason am dat { cut it down last night.”—Harper's Weekly.

P., was gathered together last Sunday to bury a member in the person of Isaac Knox, who died at St. Luke's hospital of acute Bright's disease. It was the first death of the True Reformers, of which he was a member, and also a member of the Arapahoe Odd Fellows. The services were held at Zion church and conducted by Rev. Douglas. The audience room was filled with sympathizing friends. The remains were escorted to Riverside cemetery and laid to rerst. A brother George from New York was the only relative present. Mr. Knox had made his home in Denver for eight years and was well known and generally respected. LIVINGSTON. The funeral of Mrs. Clarinda Livingston, who died Saturday, was held from the funeral chapel of Q. J. Gilmore Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Douglas officiating. She is the eldest of five generations, being 106 years old. She was residing with her granchildren, the Andersons, who live in Montclair. Inte nent was at Riverside. Her great age has been borne with ease until very recently and now she is gathered to her fathers, sincerely mourned. BANKS. Garrett L. Banks was born at La Porte, Ind., September 4, 1879. Died at the home of G. W. Smothers, Thursday morning, May 2, 1907, aged 27 years, 7 months, 28 days. May 7, 1902, he was married to Hattie L. Smothers; was a member of Shorter Chapel, Denver, Colo. Mr. Banks was a model young man, possessing all the qualities and traits of character which makes one loved and never forgotten by their friends. During his prolonged illness, not a mur came from his lips, and he bore his illness with a sweet patience which was past understanding. He waited patiently for the Master's call saying each day that he was ready and waiting for his reward. It seems sad that one so young should be taken from their loved ones, but "the Lord hath need of His Followers" and when the "mists have rolled away, we may then understand. A loving wife, father and mother are left to mourn because of his absence. Their loss is heaven's gain. The entire community join the family in their bereavement. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Guy of Arkansas City, Kansas. Interment in Mercer cemetery. May 5, 1907. TROLLEY RIDE.

C. D. Douglass himself. The tickets for the trolley ride on May 30, 1907, are safe and no one buying tickets need to be afraid. MRS. J. M. MASON, Pres. MRS. R. M. GRIGSBY, Sec. A BIG SUCCESS. The Rally which was scheduled to take place at Campbell's A. M. E. church, May 5th, came off amid snow and storm and mud. It speaks well for the pastor's standing among the churches of the city that a fairly large crowd should gather to assist him in such weather. The program in the afternoon was all that could be desired in interest and artistic ability of those performing, features of which were selections by Harris' orchestra and Azalia Hackley Choral club. Mrs. Frohman and Mrs. H. W. Wade had good papers also. Rev. Douglas of Central was on hand to render assistance and Father Rice from Colorado Springs was present. He delivered an able sermon at night. After a short service at night, Rev. Dyett came in with a large part of his congregation and choir. Rev. Dyett lifted a good collection while Shorter's choir rendered music. Under such conditions the grand rally was held and the pastor and members should feel proud of the success of the rally under such unfavorable weather conditions. The final effort will be made Sunday, May 12, when announcement of results will be made. All those who have not made report will kindly so so by next Sunday. The pastor takes occasion to announce that a regular Pentecostal meeting is held in his church every Sunday at 3:30 p. m., to which all who desire to meet in a heart-warming service are cordially invited. No sectarianism is held up, only Christ. Bro. Edward Johnson, a trustee of the church, gave a liberal donation of barbecued meat to Orphans' Home. THE LIFE LINE.

She brought out her prettiest silk scraps and made a little workbag. On one side of it she outlined the date of her mother's next birthday—still two months off—and on the other side the word "mama." Then she addressed the following note, placing it with the bag in an envelope: "Dear Mama—hope you will lik this pretty bag, i made it for you. i made it al by myself this morgen. i made it For youre burthda, now i have made you hapy on youre burthda i hope you wil mak me hapy on my burthda.

Prof. Cerebotani, a Frenchman, has at last perfected an apparatus which will transmit by wire all the peculiarities of a man's handwriting or drawing, enabling him to sign checks 1,000 miles away, or write a legal document or draw a picture. But one wire is needed, and the machinery is quite simple. There is a clock movement controlling a wire, and one rod makes a circular movement while another makes direct perpendicular and horizontal strokes. Lieut. Bilse Has Done Well. Lieut.

Main 7413 Hot and Cold Baths Yawning for Health. A German expert on gymnastics announces that one need not go to a well-equipped gymnasium in search of a course in health-giving exercises. Deep yawning practiced as a regular exercise is the cheapest and surest road to perfect health. We are still familiar with the theory that systematic deep breathing is an excellent thing for the lungs, and it is on similar grounds that yawning is recommended. The expansion of the breast bones and the stretching of the arms which accompany a whole-hearted yawn, together with the filling of the lungs form a splendid daily exercise. Again the Simple Life.

The ice man has not yet been paid, and, though he has been nice, his bill, I am very much afraid, will have to go on ice. I've owed my tailor for a year, and I regret to say he threatens now my job to queer unless I promptly pay. I hocked my watch to-day to buy a present for my wife, and I'd just like to know how I can lead the simple life?- Houston (Texas) Chronicle Modernized. "Here is one of the inns where George Washington used to stop." "You don't say! What has become of the ancient sign, 'Accommodation to Man and Beast?" "They've taken it down and put up a sign, 'Accommodation to Man and Automobile.' "And where is the hostler who used to come out with a can of oats?" "Oh, he comes out now with a can of gasoline." In Her Dreams. Miss Ascum—Just back from Palm Beach, eh? Miss Bragg—Yes, and oh, you'd never dream all the proposals I had there. Miss Ascum—No; but I suppose that's the way they came to you. Philadelphia Press. Carried Pet Into Battle. A Japanese officer tells this story of the battle of Mukden: "In one of the engagements I found a pretty little Pekinese spaniel wandering about between the two battle lines. It came to me when I whistled; it evidently belonged to some Russian officer and was tame and affectionate. I am keeping it for myself. I suppose the owner is not likely to return to claim it. Once when we charged a Russian shelter trench successfully the little fellow could not keep up with us with his short legs and long coat, so with my kanemitsu (sword) in my right hand I held the little creature, panting, under my left arm, and charged. The grave sergeant-major laughed. Well he might." Painless Dentistry. When a Chinaman wants to have a tooth drawn he feels no nervous apprehension of pain, for the excellent reason that he knows his dentist will not inflict any. The latter simply rubs a secret powder over the aching tooth. After about five minutes the patient sneezes and the tooth falls out. Many attempts have been made by Europeans to get some of this mysterious powder, but no one has yet succeeded Charles West is on the streets again with his new automobile done in red.

WERE MISLEADING. ees can get on the company is a —= Several days ago The Statesmar was visited by a Mr. Counselman anc another man whose name we learn t be Smith, who represented them selves as agents of the United States Casualty company. They attempted to place an advertisement relative te another company than the one they claimed to represent. The unusual character of this request was suspi- cious, to say the least. It is consid: ered to be legitimate to boost one’s own business, but only the most des- plicable type of competition resorts to such underhanded trickery as these two proposed. Even had the adver- tisement been a truthful one, the principle remains the same and when falsehood is used to piece out trick- ery, it is too much for reputable jour- nalism to be a party to. We offered the use of The Statesman for legiti- mate advertisement for their com- pany, but their only response was that -e would either have to run the advertisement they brought or suffer their personal opposition to this pa- per. Never having met the two men before, our astonishment at their gall made us forget to plead for mercy, Inquiry of the United States Cas- ualty company disclosed the fact that the two men had misrepresented themselves and that their truthful. ness was on a par with their business methods. We further found them to cated at Room 607 Continental build ing, at the office of the Western Li + and Accident Association, of which i Mr. Gregory is president and a Mr. Towner is secretary. This company does a small business in health and accident insurance, That any reputable company would authorize such an advertisement is inconceivable. We have attempted to find persons who are polic¥ holders in the Western in order to ask of them what the character of the com: pany is. We have failed yet to find a single policy holder and the only line |Why help pay big ‘rent? We save) you 20 per cent on uptown PRICES CLEMENTS Pe TAILOR; we can get on the company is a state- ment that appeared in the “Insurance Report.” It says, speaking of the Western Life and Accident: “The concern was compelled by the insur- ance department not long ago to de- stroy about 10,000 circulars which ‘Deputy Rittenhouse found to be mis- leading.” If Insurance Commissioner Rittenhouse has found this to be true of the company the deduction is easy as to the motives that inspired the visit of the young men to this office. Their gall in threatening this pa- per with summary vengeance for not aiding their scheme is so stupendous that should anyone see or hear of them there will be little difficulty in recognizing them or finding the mo- tives that they have. This paper is to build up and not to tear down, The most arrant fool can tear down what the most profound intelligence has diffieulty in building| up. We cite this incident that the people may not be lead to misfortune by such misanthropists.
