PREPARE PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE (From Our Washington Correspondent) Young men, prepare for the future, is a word that needs to be spoken now. In the great world of activity that lies before us in the fast changing scenes of our country, only trained men will be able to stand. How many of us are getting this training? Are the young men and young women striving after those higher things which will fit them for the future which is theirs, if they but prepare for it and clam it. Are we not wil- SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST Men are arguing for the revival of the Darwinian theory of the "survival of the fittest." This is the law that the white man, with his arrogance, would lay down for the American Negro. He would force him into slavery, out of it and on the open arena of life, into the fierce glare of economic struggle. Here he would crush him, if he can. He would ignore his God, the God of Justice, and crush America's benefactors. But in this daring and brutal assertion, the white south is not sincere. She cannot do without her black labor; it is the best she ever had, she can never replace it. She will never win in this attempt, her future must be formed upon a higher ground than her past. The doctrine of the "survival of the fittest" passed when the law of God was recognized. Let the truth of the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man" obtain. Upon this truth hang our civilization and our life. IGNOMINOUS END. What has D. R. Wilkins to say about the charge that he has been bought by Booker T. Washington?

There are great and vexed questions to be met an solved, days are to come which will try men's souls, and in this greatest of human struggles, men ready for the conflict must be in the forefront. We cannot be ready unless we work—work faithfully an well. Who among us is willing to make the preparation that is needed for the life that must be lived? MUST BE BIG AND BROAD When a president of a great University wishes to succeed he must be broad enough to profit by the experiences of other men who have gone before. He should not take about himself a click or clan of any department, but should stand for the highest interests of the whole institution. The moment this step is taken, that moment jealousies are aroused and confusion begins. The wise man would know these truths and apply them. It is sad for any man who does not see and observe this truth; it is fatal more often than fruitful. The past at least is secure. A SUCCESSFUL YEAR. The Richards Literary Club held its closing meeting for the year on last Tuesday evening. Its closing, like the work of the year, was helpful and inspiring. Miss Helen Jessie Moore, the president of the club, presided, presenting each participant upon the program with a fitting expression, full of wit and wisdom. The program consisted of a piano solo by Miss M. L. Evans, a summary of the work of the year by Miss Zeida Dyson, a vocal solo by Miss Clotilde Houston; "The Benefits of the Richards Literary," by Miss Hallie Q. Brown; "The Future of the Richards Literary," by Miss Julia E. Jackson; "An Estimate DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY MAY 24. 1907. of the Man, Prof. Wm. H. Richards," after whom the club is named, by H. J. Pinkett, and a response by Prof. Richards. Every number mentioned above was a gem, full of helpfulness, full of good and hope. It was a scene worthy of the efforts of the man by whose name the Club is honored; an effort of noble young womanhood and manhood to learn the higher things of life. This but illustrates the earnestness with which the members of the Richards Literary Club have worked during the year and is an earnest of what they are certain to achieve in the future. The subjects discussed during the year have comprehended history, biography, art, literature, government and science. Among these were papers read by Miss Helen J. Moore on Lemuel Haynes, Miss Lynch on Frederick Douglas, Miss Julia E. Jackson on Alexander Pushkin and Miss Clotilde Houston on Toussaint and the Founding of the Haytaian Nation. Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook read a paper before the club on Alexander Dumas, pere. Leaving the biographical phases and entering into the historical field, the club made a study of the Negro Soldier through a paper read by Mr. Minkins; Pericles and His Time, by Miss Helen E. Jones, and the French Revolution, by A. S. Pinkett. A paper was presented on Eminent Women of Color, by Miss Hallie Q. Brown; Paul Laurence Dunbar, by Miss Grace Campbell, and Dante, by Miss Dyson. Mrs. Anna J. Cooper read a paper on Architecture, of which we spoke in another issue. The papers read by Mr. Ennis G. Syphax on Michael Angelo; The Negro as a Musician, by Miss Evans; Sculpture and Painting, by Miss Jones, and Sculpture, by Miss Brown, including the subjects dealt with in art. The Magna Charta, by H. J. Pinkett, and the Declaration of Independence, by Mr. Milton, gave some insight to government and political economy. Thus it will be seen that the Richards Literary Club has an aim and is doing something for the ones who are seeking light and life. The auspicious closing with the words of wisdom from Prof. Wm. Richards, whom the club feels is the most useful man since Douglas, have given inspiration and fired the souls of the ambitious and noble. The banquet at the close of the program of the closing was excel- Continued on page 12 FIVE CENTS A COPY WESTERN LIFE AND ACCIDENT ASSOCIATION ACCUSED OF DIRTY PRACTICE. ROBBING A WIDOW. Information has been brought to us that the Western Life and Accident Association, which sought to place scurrilous advertisement with this paper a few weeks ago, has deprived the widow of one of its deceased policy holders of the benefit due her at the death of her husband. We are investigating and will give the facts in the case next week. CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER. On Trinity Sunday, May 26th, the Rt. Rev. Chas. S. Olmsted, D. D., Bishop of Colorado, will visit the Mission at 11 o'clock a.m. to administer the sacrament of Confirmation and to celebrate the Holy Eucharist. The bishop is always a welcome visitor, and as this will be an especially joyful occasion. Communicants and friends are urged to be in the places at the appointed hour of service. No seats can be reserved after that time. A solemn Evensong of Thanksgiving will be sung at 7:45 p. m., at which the Rev. Frederick W. Oakes will be the special preacher. The colored people and the Mission have no more stanch friend than the Rev. Mr. Oakes, who is now making the deferred visit which sickness prevented during Lent. Try to show your appreciation by a full attendance. Friends are cordially invited. GRAND TROLLEY RIDE MAY 30. The first trolley ride of the season will be given by the Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Circle on May 30, 1907. Cars will leave the central loop near Fifteenth and Arapahoe instead of Twenty-fourth and Welton, at 8:30 p. m., and will stop at Twenty-eighth and Welton streets, where refreshments will be served.

MEDICINE HAT WANTS BOOM. One Industry Enterprising Town Forgot to Mention. Medicine Hat is one of the towns pardon us, cities!-in the Canadian Northwest which is making a great bid just now for its share of the present boom in Canada. The mayor of Medicine Hat goes so far as to advertise the merits of that noble city in some Canadian papers. Its virtues are dwelt upon in these advertisements at great length, and particular stress is laid upon the fact that an abundant supply of natural gas makes Medicine Hat a particularly favorable place for the location of manufacturing plants. Somehow we seem to have heard the name of Medicine Hat before. If our memory does not fail us, this is the place where the weather man says the cold waves come from. When the mercury sinks to zero in the Ohio Valley this considerate gentleman sometimes calls our attention to the fact that it is "40 below at Medicine Hat." This does not seem so bad in August, but it must be a pretty cold reality in January. Medicine Hat deserves its growing fame. Strange that in his references to the many advantages of his growing city the mayor of Medicine Hat never alludes to the cold wave industry.—Cincinnati Times-Star. LOTS OF ANIMALS FAINT. Cats Particularly Are Subject to Attacks When Excited. When the little white kitten tumbled down on the rug with a piteous "meaouw" the woman, who always knows what to do, picked her up and called for the camphor bottle. "She has fainted, poor little thing," said the woman. "Camphor will bring her to." And the other boarders laughed, but the woman continued to administer the aromatic spirits in her own motherly fashion. When the white kitten had revived the woman sought corroboration of her diagnosis from the veterinary surgeon next door. "Of course, the cat fainted," he said. "Lots of animals faint. Cats are especially apt to keel over in moments of excitement. These attacks are sometimes confused with fits, but they are really fainting spells, and the patient can be brought to with camphor. Dogs faint, too, and horses. A horse that faints is usually thought to have blind staggers or sunstroke, but anybody knowing the animal's constitution can tell the difference and apply the special treatment required."—New York Post.

We think we are safe in saying that the work of this club has done more to inspire the young, cause a revival of similar clubs, give food for thought and help to those who want to know the great truths of life than anything that has come to the youth of the race. The conception of the club was by A. S. Pinkett, the name of the club was suggested by Miss Clotilde Houston, and accordingly Prof. Richards honored it with his name and has been its true father all the way. The credit for the success we have had belongs to the ladies. THE A. M. E. CHURCH. Next week we are going to devote our entire space to a discussion of the coming A. M. E. Conference and its effect upon the future. We have often looked upon this church with admiration, and since we have come to know more and more about it, its ideals, its principles of self-help and its long years of broadest usefulness, we are forced to the conclusion that it is the most perfect organization we have in this country, and has within its fold some of the ablest and best men now living. Of these we mean to speak next week, because we feel the race ought to know more about this wonderful uplifting agency. THE JIM CROW ANNEX. The Howard University Journal is degenerating into an advertising medium of the Jamestown Jim-Crow Annex. Surely some hidden force of demoralization is at work. In the last issue there appeared an article on the Law Department of the Howard University which would have been better unsaid. The young man neither comprehended the work of the past of the department about which he attempted to write, nor understood the wonderful forces which it possesses. But for it the University would long since have been razed, and its continued success is necessary to the life of the institution of which it forms a part. It is the most powerful department in the University and in time of peril it is the one department which always fights for Howard. It has not always, and does not now receive its due, but it is loyal and true to the institution of which it forms a part. BARBARIANISM A barbarian in Mississippi is still preaching about the inferiority of the Negro. He wants the colored people of America re-enslaved. He claims that white men cannot live side by side with the colored man upon a plane of equality. Perhaps not. But by the rapid process of amalgation promoted by the white south this argument will not need to be made. STAND FOR YOUR RIGHTS The time has come in America when we must stand up for the right. There must be no quibbling, no compromise with wrong, no hesitancy in taking a position alongside the great charter of American liberty, the constitution of our country. Some of the men in the country must stand up for this view, if the country would survive the impending fight for the future. We cannot afford to persecute any portion of our population. "All men are created equal." Let not this fact be overlooked. Each man should enjoy life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness. RETURNS TO HIS VORMTE. Bishop W. Y. Satterlee has delivered himself of a pronouncement upon the Negro. He says the Negro is inferior to the white man, and waives his religion, if he ever had any, to join hands with the vile demagogues of the land. It is a sad commentary upon the Christianity of the world to have a bishop of the Church of England speak of men made in the Image of God being inferior to other men. Where is the religious sentiment that moved men in the days when men were men, and when truth was truth indeed? Gone, lost in the whirlpool of American prejudice and hate. Doing Away With Whistle Nuisances In connection with the whistle nuisance, so often complained of by those living along the lines of steam railroads a western manufacturer suggests that an invention for doing away with the nuisance will be a valuable device. He suggests that all locomotives be provided with a reflector, the shape of a hood, either open front and back, or simply open forward. He claims that such a hood or reflector will aid in throwing the sound further in front of the locomotive, thus reducing the danger from crossing accidents or collisions, and that it will also prevent the sound being spread in all directions and uselessly annoying residents along the line. It is believed that the use of such a reflector will render the sound of the whistle audible at twice the distance reached by the whistle now in use and will thus ensure greater safety to persons crossing the tracks. Forty-Pie Power. A Pittsburg man has invented a pie machine that will turn out forty pies a minute. It rolls 'em out, doubles 'em over, bakes 'em, scalops the edges and slaps on the label. Then it growls for more. Of course these are not the pies that mother used to make. Mother's were handmade and fussy. The Pittsburg pie is the product of fingers of steel and endless bands, and corrugated rollers. Mother's pie bore the thumb mark of loving proprietorship. The Pittsburg pie wears the blue label of a soulless corporation. Of course there is money in this forty-pie-power device. That was the prime intention. The effect on the hardened Pittsburg digestion is quite an immaterial matter. Cleveland Plain Dealer. --- "A first-class resort for gentlemen."

The Publisher's Claims Sustained UNITED STATES COURT OF CLAIMS The Publishers of Webster's International Dictionary allege that it "is, in fact, the popular Unabridged thoroughly re-edited in every detail, and vastly enriched in every part, with the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger and severer requirements of another generation." We are of the opinion that this allegation most clearly and accurately describes the work that has been accomplished and the result that has been reached. The Dictionary, as it now stands, has been thoroughly re-edited in every detail, has been corrected in every part, and is admirably adapted to meet the larger and severer requirements of a generation which demands more of popular philological knowledge than any generation that the world has ever contained. It is perhaps needless to add that we refer to the dictionary in our judicial work as of the highest authority in accuracy of definition; and that in the future as in the past it will be the source of constant reference.

Often Resort to Strategy to Capture Their Favorite Food. In the summer the principal food of the white-tailed sea eagle is salmon, varied by sea birds common along the inlets of Greenland. In autumn, when the salmon have ascended to the lakes the birds resort to the sea. They appear to have a special fondness for elder duck, which are taken by strategy. Stationed near the water in a commanding position, with a background of cliff the color of which assimilates with that of the eagle's plumage, he sits motionless until a flock of duck settles near him. After a time one or two dive in search of food, but not until all have gone under together does the eagle make a sign. He then glides swiftly to the spot and circles over it close to the water. With his sharp eye he can detect the birds before they reach the surface. At first he is not usually successful, for as soon as they become aware of the presence of the enemy they dive again instantly, but in time they are obliged to come up for air and then one of them becomes an easy victim. A full-grown elder drake is easily lifted up and borne away in the talons of this powerful pirate.—London Field. Scrap of History. Here is a story that comes from the Wenona fire department. Pat was a recent importation, but instead of landing a job on th' foorce he got an assignment as a teamster. Unaccustomed to the ways of this country, he was continually getting into trouble with his wagon, owing principally to the fact that he insisted upon turning to the left instead of the right. At last these occurrences became so numerous that the stable boss informed him he would give him just one more trial. Pat had been away from the barns, after this warning, only a short time when word came that his outfit had been badly demolished again and the report was confirmed later by Pat himself. "Didn't I tell you always to turn to the right?" asked the boss. "Well, sor," said Pat, "I did turn to the right whin I met the fire engine, but fwhat good did it do? Right afther thim was a gang of drunken painters wid a wagon load of ladders an' they run right into me, sor!" Debt Owed the Trolley. How much we owe to the trolley lines extending so freely into even remote sections! At an expenditure which must seem modest even to the poor, they give the pent-up dwellers in towns and villages the freedom of the woods and fields, and to the densens of hitherto inaccessible country places they offer the strange allurements of busy streets and shops. In our great cities rural visitors take the places of those who are seeking the very pleasures the countryman temporarily forsakes. It is the change we need—the new ways, even when they are less attractive than the old.—Philadelphia Ledger.

The question of remuneration for labor, always a mooted one, is susceptible of being viewed from various standpoints. In a small community in Texas, where water is hard to find, Mr. Henderson, the owner of a well, fitted out with a patent pump, was a person of consequence. It was, also, matter of public concern when the pump got out of gear and refused to perform its proper functions. All the men in the locality spent the day in Henderson's back yard, consulting and "tinkering," jointly and severally, at the pump; but all to no avail. Finally along came a young fellow, Jo Brady by name, from a neighboring ranch. He looked the pump over, rapped it on the head with a hammer, thought a couple of minutes, and inside of two minutes more had it in working order again. Approbation was general. "Just name your price, Jo, my boy," said the owner of the pump heartily. Jo considered a bit and then said that he guessed five dollars would be about right. There was a change at this, and remarks of a different nature from approbation were freely indulged in. "Now, see here, Jo," said the aggrieved Henderson, "I thought you was a square kind of a chap! That ain't any white man's charge. Why, you don't do nothin' at all—any one of us could a done what you done—and you wa'n't more'n five minutes doin' it, neither. Fifty cents 'ud be a big price for that work you done!" MULE FINDS RICH LEAD ORE. Pack Animal Responsible for Discovery in Couer d'Alene Region. Half the lead that has been mined in the United States has come from the famous Coeur d'Alenes, the most productive lead mines in the world. Like many of the richest mines, they were discovered by pure luck. A man lent his mule to two prospectors. In the course of their wanderings the mule was tied to a tree, and he, becoming impatient, pawed the ground and uncovered a lead vein which is now the site of the famous Bunker Hill Sullivan mine. The owner of the mule sued for a third interest in the claim and the courts granted it to him, stating that as the mule had made the discovery, and that as he was its owner, he was entitled to the mule's share. The three owners sold their discovery for $500,000 and nothing was too good for that mule for the rest of his days. He was exhibited in a private car and lived on the fat of the land and now a tombstone marks his grave. His harness hangs in a noted saloon, where it is gazed upon with deepest reverence by the old-time prospectors. The mine is the richest silver-lead mine in the world, yielding a net revenue of $1,500,000. Since their discovery in 1884 the Coeur d'Alene mine If you keep your eye on this space for the next week you'll make a dollar --- Prof. Joseph H. Beale of the Harvard law school was lecturing last session on the drawing of wills. He was trying to impress on the students that there were only two or three absolute essentials of a valid will, namely, that it would be dated, signed and witnessed. "If these requirements are fulfilled," he went on to say, "anything will pass the probate court. Of course," he continued, "I do not mean this to be taken too literally; I do not mean that a man might date, sign and have witnessed his favorite song and then have that probated." But at this point, a student corrused the class by interrupting with: "But, say, professor, suppose his favorite song should be 'I'll Leave My Happy Home for You'?" Increasing Cost of Battleships The cost of a battleship seems destined to increase. A few years ago it rose in England from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000; then the secretary of the admiralty stated that the King Edward VII battleship would cost $7,500,000. Thus it seems likely that before long the value of a battleship will be little under $10,000,000 now she recarded it. The former head of a large private school in Cleveland was a gentleman of dignified bearing, refined and correct always in manner and speech. By birth and early rearing he was a Vermonter, and doubtless of straight Puritan extraction. One day in his boyhood his mother called him in from the yard where he was playing with some other boys to say to him, in a tone suggestive of mingled sadness and severity: "Noble, my son, I never thought to hear you use a swear word!" "Why, mother," said the boy, "I didn't use any swear word. I only said the devil. Nobody thinks that's swearing." "I don't care," cried the mother quickly; "It's making light of sacred things."—Cleveland Leader. PAGE 13 WOULDN'T TEND THE DOORS Railroad Was Run Through Bara, but There the Line Was Drawn. Last spring while the survey for the Northern Seaport railroad from La Orange, Me., to Searsport, Me., was being made some of the youths in Stockton Springs, a small town in Waldo county, thought they would folly some of the farmers. They equipped themselves with a camera tripod and an old telescope and started out. They reached Prospect and hunted up a good old man and inquired if they could survey his ground. He was excited at once, and asked numberless questions and wanted them to tell him "for sure" if the road would go over his land. The mock surveyors assured him they could tell him with certainty, after a few moments' work, and then they erected the tripod and apparently became absorbed in work of marking off a line of stakes, the farmer watching them with interest. In a short time they pretended to discover that the road would go right through the barn, so the old man was told. He considered a moment and then said slowly: "But there's only one door in it." "Well," they replied, "couldn't you knock off the planking on the other side and put in another door?" The man brightened up at once, and replied: "Yes, I suppose I could, but I'll tell you right now you'll have to keep a man to shut them doors after the trains, for I can't be bothered all the time with them." Birthday of the Yukon. What St. George's day is to Britain, what Dominion day is to Canada, and what Independence day is to the American republic, is Aug. 16 to the Yukon. It was on that day nine years ago that Skookum Jim washed out his famous pan on Rabbit creek, whose result was the bringing of thousands of people to the country and the enriching the world by $120,000,000 in gold.

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 stub- born, harsh, kinky or curly hair soft, pillable 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, invig- orates 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 Pom- ade has been made and sold continuously since about 1858, and label, "OZONIZED OX MARROW," was registered in the United States Patent Office, in 1874. Be sure to get Ford's as its use makes the hair STRAIGHT, SOFT and PLIABLE. Beware of imitations. 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. For each pack- age, refuse all others. Full direction with every bottle. Price only 50 cts. Sold by drugstists 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 91.40 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 order- ing 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 R. KINZIE ST., CHICAGO, IL.

The Freemen Mining, Milling and Development Company of Colorado Springs, which has its offices in Room 1, McIntyre-Barnett block, and of which F. M. Roberts is secretary has the wonderful record of having disposed of the whole of the first block of shares which were put on the market at 5 cents. There were 50,000 in the block and a second lot is now offered, and though the price has been raised to 10 cents, 20,000 are already bargained for.

Rae Gould 6-10 NAZARETH SHORT ON “NSGHTIES” a et, eee. oe, Sawa 6 Ogwe. Sievers None Were on Sale. | Nazareth, Northampton county, Pa, 8 close to nature. It is a settlement of Moravians and Mennonites, with a semetery and ancient buildings throw— in for good measure. It is content te live the simple life, and abhors the innovations and frills of what is popu- larly called progress. A Philadelphian of veracity returned the other day from a vacation spent in the quaint old town. He gave a con- vincing illustration of the simplictty of existence in the Northampton set- tlement, “When [ unpacked my grip at the inn before retiring for the night | learned that I had omitted to include my pajamas. Looking out of the window, which commanded a view of the main street, | saw the lights of one of the two general stores which the place boasts. A few minutes later « confronted the proprietor. Suspect- ng that Nazareth might shy at paja mas, I decide! to let the town down easy, and said: “‘T want a night shirt.’ “The storekeeper appeared tempor- trily dumbfounded, but finally a light fawned on him. ‘You mean a white thirt?’ “No, I mean a night shirt. A shirt to sleep in” ““Friend,’ said the storekeeper, ‘I fon't keep night shirts. Maybe Jones. (own the street, may have one.’ “While covering the distance to Jones’ store,” said the author of the story, “I soliloquized on life in Nazar oth after a fashion not wholly flatter: Ing to the town. But Jones seemed up to date, and hope revived within me. “‘T need a night shirt and was told you might have one in stock.’ “Jones merely smiled and made an- swer: ‘I've got one of my own. Mary's got one, too.” It ought, perhaps, to again be stated ‘hat the returned sojourner’s veracity is not open to question. He added: “Controlling my {nclination to laugh in the shopkeeper’s face, I remarked: “Of course I wouldn’t presume to ask you to sell me your own or Mary's shirt, much less request the loan of either. I find that | have come to this town without a shirt to sleep in, and I desire to buy one.’ “‘Sorry, but I don't belleve there are a half dozen night shirts in the town,’ sald Jones, starting to put out the lights.” THIRTY YEARS IN SENATE. John T. Morgan of Alabama Has Had Many Terme. One of the most wonderful men in the United States senate is John T. Morgan of Alabama. He ig 81 years old, and two years from this time he will complete thirty years’ continuous service In the senate. During the re- cent short session he spoke for more than four hours for two successive days. The physical effort of speaking for four hours on one day is more than many senators care to attempt. On every foreign subject he knows all there is to know and has the knowl- edge at command without reference to books or documents. No other man knows 80 much about the isthmian ca- nal. Once some one asked how long he could really talk. “It depends upon the subject,” he replied. “If it were a matter that I thoroughly understand I eould taik for two or three days; if it were a matter I knew nothing about | @ould talk for two or three weeks.” The Ideal Drug Store, Fancy Summer Drinks FAULKNER & SPRATLIN, PROPS.

Mrs. Anna J. Cooper addressed the Richards Literary club on last Thurs- day evening upon architecture. She pointed out the effect and result of a careful study of this great subject, how through it you can see national ideals, how the nations long since passed from the center of the stage of civilization have left their heritage of national ideals. In this study, she stated, we can obtain the highest con- ception of the ideals of men and of nations. She gave Madam De Stiel characteribation of arehitecture as “frozen music.” She amplified this idea, pointing out that architecture, like music, more nearly expresses the real emotions of man than any of the arts. Sculpture, she said expressed man's ideal, painting his conception of the beautiful—what he would have @s a standard; but architecture gave expression of the emotions thei- selves. The paper was discussed briefly by the members of the club, after which @ repast was served. Each person at the table was presented an English walnut which contained an illusion to the paper he had written and a proph- esy for the future. This was the unique conception of Miss Hallie Q Brown and Miss Helen Jessie Moore The Richards Literary club, accord- ing to advice, is no longer local, but national. Its influences are touching the life of the young in many parts of the country and are giving much encouragement to aspiring youth. WILL RAISE THE MONEY. The colored men’s branch of the Y M. C. A., at this writing, seems to be able to express the belief that they will have raised the $25,000 for which they have been working for the last thirty days.

The magnificent hotel barrooms, which were a feature of Broadway life a decade ago, are being driven from the field by the boudoir buffet. Old-time hotels like the St. Nicholas, the New York, the Metropolitan, the Morton house, Union Square, Coleman and others that made New York barrooms something to talk about a few years ago almost have gone out of existence. Barkeepers and salixers of special drinks that made them famous either have gone to another sphere or into other business, and there are none to take their places. To cite the most conspicuous example the famous elliptical bar in the Hoffman house, which Edward S. Stokes made the talk of two continents, has been taken away. The collection of expensive paintings, so famous that a special view hour each morning was appointed for women, has been dispersed. What was once the most magnificent barroom in the world in now a very commonplace cafe in comparison with the more modern New York hotels. There is a small barroom in another part of the hotel which bears about the same relation to the sumptuous Stokes menage as a pushcart does to a pony carriage. This is true of all the big hotels. The waiter and small table have put the barkeeper out of business. In many of the new boudoir bars if a customer steps up to the small bar and orders a drink he is asked to take a seat at one of the tables and a waiter will carry the drink to him. This usually involves a tip to the waiter that approximates one-half the price of the drink. The old-time barkeeper complains bitterly at the innovation of the foreign waiter in the barroom or cafe. Vegetable Millinery. At the recent unveiling in Ocean Grove of the bronze statue of the late Dr. E. H. Stokes, a Methodist minister said: "I knew Mr. Stokes well, and one of the things I most admired in him was his simplicity, his modesty, his plainness. He hated affectation and vanity, even in women; and in a good-humored way he would often poke fun at the freakish fashions that come up from time to time in women's dress. "I remember one summer when the ladies' hats were very large and a great many cherries and beans and grapes and so on covered them. Dr. Stokes went about Ocean Grove telling a hat story. "He said there came a knock at a man's door one morning, and the man answered it, and then called upstairs to his wife: "'Ann, here is the girl with the vegetables.' "But the wife, coming downstairs hastily, called as she descended: "Don't be silly. It's my new hat." —Buffalo Enquirer. Explained.

Skipper Gifted With an Amazingly Keen Sight in a Fog. "Some years ago I was ordered to take a long vest," said a man. "I journeyed as far east as New Brunswick in search of a good place, and being in St. John when an old fisherman friend of mine was getting ready to make a voyage to New York, I took a sudden notion to go with him. "The weather was bad all the way and when we entered the sound you couldn't see the companionway from the wheel. I never saw such a fog. I was on deck with the old man when we entered the sound. He was standing by the wheel. Suddenly I saw him lean over and bawl: "'Sloop a-hoo-oo-oy!" "I didn't hear a thing to indicate the proximity of a sloop or anything else, but those old fishermen from the provinces have a faculty of seeing things in any kind of weather. "The old man gave his attention to the wheel and presently I heard a faint cry off in the fog. "'Schooner a-hoo-oo-oy!' "The old man straightened up and bawled: "'Is tha-at the Lucy Ann?' "Again the silence for a moment, and then faint and weak, came the answer: "'Aye, aye! Is that th' Mandy Jane?" "‘Aye, aye!’ bawled our skipper, and he twirled the wheel. He never looked my way and for a time I thought him unconscious of my presence. After fifteen minutes of silence he suddenly turned with an emphatic nod of his head toward that section of the fog from which the answering hall had come and said: "‘That was me brother Bill. I ain't seen him before for a year.’ Then he went on with his steering as if nothing had happened."—Washington Star. "I hope, senator," ventured the upright citizen, "that you never allowed anyone to hint about a bribe in your presence." "I should say not," replied Senator Boodle, with much emphasis. "Ah, I am so glad to hear it." "No, sir, I never allowed them to hint because it took up too much time. If they wanted anything crooked done they had to say it right out and then I'd listen." Works Hla Way Up. Prince Khilhoff, who has acquired fame in connection with the Transiberian railway, renounced his title and estates when a young man and emigrated to America, where he attended to a boiler-making machine at a salary of $7.50 a week. He then got a position as engineer and eventually became a railway manager in Venezuela. Tokyo Street Railway. The Tokyo Street Railway Company serves a population of 1,500,000.

NEW CURE FOR TIGHT DOORS Furniture 'Man Tells How to Open Dresser Drawers that Stick. "Patrons come to me every day and say that the drawers of dressers and other furniture stick fast and cannot be opened or shut without great difficulty," said the "complaint man" in a down town furniture store. "This is the trouble with much furniture, especially that which is new, and is especially common in the spring. "What do we do in such cases? We simply tell the customers to wet the surface of a bar of common laundry soap and rub it firmly over the parts of the wood that stick. This makes the surface smooth and slippery, and nearly all cases the drawer will slide easily, especially after it has been opened and shut a few times. "This also is valuable with doors which, in new flats, are likely to settle or are apt to scrape at the top as the building settles. Just use soap on them and save the trouble of calling in a carpenter, who will plane the varnish off. "China cabinet doors, with curved glass, cause us a lot of trouble, but most of the tightness can be remedied by the use of soap and a few applications of sand paper." The furniture man gave another "helpful hint." "If mission furniture, with the dall finish, loses its smooth surface and characteristic waxy appearance," he said, "do not despair and send it to the renovator. Take a pound cake of common floor wax and rub it over the surface until the finish is restored. If you have no floor wax use beeswax, and if you prefer something made especially for the purpose, you can buy liquid preparations, one of which will remove the old finish, leaving the table top or other object ready for the application of the other substance, which will duplicate the original finish." Obedience a Help. There is a woman down in Indiana who is hale and hearty at the age of 100, and when she was asked to what she attributed her age and health she replied, "Obedience." And this, too, at a time when the women are having the word "obey" taken out of the marriage service and in other ways manifesting the most supreme contempt for the old obligation. It is not to be believed that there are many women who will care to drag out an existence of 100 years in a state of obedience, even if a fair degree of health is assured. The holy scriptures do not tell us how long the women lived, although we know that Sarah survived until she was 127 and was so obedient that the Lord blessed her with Isaac when she was 90. And it is fair to suppose that other good Hebrew wives were equally long lived and successful. Thus we see that obedience is of the utmost importance to the human race and is the source of happiness and prosperity. Still the women of this age are extremely stiff-necked and unreasonable. Dr. Gordon's "Soft Snap." Dr. George A. Gordon, pastor of the Old South Church, tells this on himself: Dr. Gordon, who was in early manhood an ironworker of some sort, met one of his former comrades of the forge shortly after coming to the Old South, and his salutation was: "Good morning, Mike!" "How are ye, George?" was Mike's really. D. W. LACY, Proprietors. Phone Main 3785. Open till 2 a.m. The Mecca Cafe Leading Colored Cafe in the West. 1922 Lawrence street, Denver, Colo. J. N. B.

Ford, who has just left our city for a trip to Rome to attend the International Sunday School con- vention, is denied passage on the boat carrying other delegates, because he was a Negro, it seems that further evidence is unnecessary that white Christendom does not seriously mean to “preach the gospel unto every liv- ing creature.” The hypocrisy and sham of it all, the Pharasaical pre- tensions are sickening. The Catholic Register comments on conditions thus: Our Debt to the Negro Race. (Denver Catholic Register.) The Church Standard (Protestant) has the following in one of its recent numbers: “The white people of the country, North and South, have a heavy responsibility for their neglect of this race (the Negro), which, through no choice of its own, has been brought to this country and committed to the charge of the people. Never was so great a charge more fatefully neglected. The Protestant churches of America give millions upon millions for the support of missions in Africa, India, China and Japan; but they prac- tically leave ten millions of home-born Africans to fall back into barbarism, and never lift a finger to hold them up.” The Monitor says the difference be- tween the Protestant and Cathplic status on this matter is that whereas Protestants are here accused of giv ing too great a proportion to foreign missions, we Catholics have not given a fair amount to either. It were folly, and worse, for us Catholics to think of withdrawing a tithe of our meagre support from foreign missions to use it on home missions. Did we wrest twice as much from our avaricious purses, as we now do, our duty had been but half done. Clearly white America is blest with a fine power of discrimination when It objects to American black Sunday school delegates and finds itself trans: ported with joy over the presence ot Christian Malays, Chinese, and maybe some African blacks.

The president suggested to the com mission appointed to examine the methods of conducting business in the federal departments the feasibility of establishing an official gazette. The | New York Tribune heartily indorses the suggestion. It says: “An official gazette would certainly serve two ex- cellent purposes. It would lead to better administration, in that it would bring the business operations of each department under more direct scrut- iny. Each braneh of the service now acts independently of all the others. Again, the public would be greatly served by such an official register.

Attorney General Moody was Ais- cussing gertain flaws in the criminal code and certain remedies that had been suggested. “These remedies,” he said, “are not logical; they would not be effective if enforced. “They are singularly like the rem- edy that a chophouse waiter once in- dicated to an impatient guest. “The guest had ordered a chop, and when it was brought in to him he said with a disgusted alr: “Waiter, my plate is quite cold.’ “The waiter smiled encouragingly. “Yes, sir,’ he said, ‘but the chop is hot, sir, which, I think, you'll find {t'll soon warm up the plate nicely, sir.” | When te Take the Cold Bath. The morning is the best time for a eold bath, because one is warm when he first gets out of bed, and is in the best condition for a healthy reaction. But the bath should be taken imme Gately upon rising. This does not mean within ‘five or ten minutes, after he has moved about the room and decome ecbilled; it means at once. Only when this rule is strictly fol- lowed is the morning cold bath pened. Try Us for Printing THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. THE HONEST ASSOCIATION. Commonwealth Life, City; Ira G.

Bloodthirsty Sea Rovers to Be Found in Eastern Waters. We had been in the fog but two or three hours when a large junk suddenly loomed up on our port bow. Our captain, who was an old East India and China trader, took one look at her and said: "My God! Here's an infernal Chinese pirate junk! Make all sail, quick!" We did not need that order. Almost as soon as I can tell it we had the sails up and drawing, but not quick enough to escape the junk, which bore down under full head, her decks crowded with men, her grappling irons on a long pole, ready to hook into our chains. The Oneco, being built for the China trade, was armed. We carried four guns in each broadside and two swivels on the taffrail, with an ample supply of boarding pikes, muskets, pistols and cutlasses. If the pirate succeeded in boarding us it would mean a hand-to-hand fight, and what with making sail and getting ready for battle, we had not fired a gun before grappling irons were in our chains. But at this moment we let go a broadside of our four port guns, which must have disabled the men in charge the grappling line, for they did not succeed in making it fast around their bits until they had drifted about 200 feet astern. We attempted to cut this line, but the hook was attached first by a long chain which we could not sever and the angle was such that we could not hit it with a shot. LONELY LIFE IN DESERT. Monotony Endured by Railroad Men on Soudan Line. Some of the western railroads have stations lonesome enough to drive the keepers to melancholia, but these little shacks, where the only company is an occasional visit by a freight crew and the chat with the operators up and down the line, become thriving cities in comparison with some of the stations on the Soudan railway in Egypt. Situated in the middle of the Nubian desert, the stations consist of one or two houses built of mud, a well and perhaps a stable for a camel or two. Instead of the rush of transcontinental traffic there is only the stillness of the desert and the appearance of a train twice a week. Letters are infrequent and even chat along the telegraph wires languishes because there is absolutely nothing to talk about. The intense heat is aggravated by the glare of the sun on the white sands, and at least two station keepers are detailed to every stop in order that they may keep one another company. The stations are more properly watchmen's huts, since the principal duty of the station master is to see that the robber bands do not steal the track in between trains. Ohio State Journal. PAGE 9.
