SHADY LOOKING TRANSACTION EIGHTEENTH YEAR. SHADY LO The Western Life and Accident company, a small insurance concern of this city, has shown the world a new wrinkle in the handling of policy holders' claims. As we said in our last issue it was reported to us that it had robbed a widow of the death benefit due on her husband's policy. We find the facts to be these: Dan Miller, who died a few weeks ago, happened to have taken down sick during the absence of his wife from the city. They were stopping with Mr. and Mrs. Turk of 2404 Walnut street and it is from Mrs. Turk that we secure our information. Mr. Miller was an industrious man who maintained his various obligations, and before his death asserted that he was in good standing with the insurance company, and to the knowledge of Mrs. Turk, did offer and had accepted by the company $2.00 on his weekly premiums about the time he was taken sick. After his death, Mrs. Miller, who had come to the city, showed his papers to an agent of the Western Life and Accident company, who took advantage of her ignorance of the provisions of his policy and the import of the payments credited in his book, and told her that she was not entitled to a death benefit for Mr. Miller had allowed his policy to lapse. Then for fear that investigation might disclose the truth, forced Mrs. Miller into acquiescing in the burning of the papers and did this at once, during the short interval Mrs. Turk was from the room. If it was not known that Mr. Miller had made a payment on his policy, if we had not his word for his good standing, the circumstance of the agent insisting on burning the receipt DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY MAY 31, 1907. book would by inference constitute the strongest ground for believing that the Western has defrauded Mrs. Miller out of more than $100. Why should these papers be burned if they were worthless? Why should the agent attempt this while Mrs. Turk was out of the room? The strong arm of the insurance department has been used to correct previous wrong doings of this concern and but for the utter lack of documentary evidence would be called to the widow's rescue. We take this occasion to warn all policy holders in this company to read their policies. Do not be misled by the statements of its agents. Know for yourself. It is one of the companies that has the outrageous cancellation clause whereby it can take from any policy holder protection at any time and with such sinister arbitrary power it would seem that it should be satisfied and not stoop to imposing on poor widows in their hour of bereavement. Thank goodness for one thing! The new insurance law of Colorado goes into effect in July with grace until December and after that time unless the Western can raise $10,000 it will be out of business and its power for wrong doing gone. Colorado Springs and Denver Negroes are the main support of it and they will hardly be bamboozled out of enough to make up the $8,000 or $9,000 deficit. D. 4 R. G. PORTERS RAISED. Through the efforts of W. A. Watkins, the colored porters in the service have secured a raise of salary of $6.00 per month. This comes right after the raise of the other operatives of the road and is considerate justice on the part of the road management. TATES RIDAY MAY 31, 1907. MUST PRESENT FRONT. Japanese labor has come to stay. The industry of the little brown men, their sobriety and quickness to pick up any work they undertake, to say nothing of their cheapness will put them in competition with white labor sooner or later. Already they are supplanting Negroes. Facts talk. It is useless to hide the eyes and refuse to see the truth. White labor is presenting a solid front of unionism to the encroachment and black labor must gird on its armor too. Good work, consistently maintained is our hope. BIRTHDAY SURPRISE. A genuine birthday surprise gathering greeted Mr. Basil Hill last Monday evening. Mrs. Hill invited a few friends who called about 10 o'clock. Mr. Hill was down on ball was found only after a committee looked for him. A royal feast was spread and it was near morning before the guests had finished their congratulations to the famous chef of the Metropole and to his wife. TAKA CLUB The entertainment given by the ladies of the Toka Art club, May 23, 1907, at Bourne's hall, was a decided success. We wish to thank the public in general for their patronage. Mr. Robert Ellmore won the beautiful piece of art work. The club realized $64.85. The club will meet next week, June 5, 1907, with Mrs. L. A. Ford, 1904 Marion st. PITCHFORK TILLMAN Pitchfork Tillman, as usual, was making sentiment for the negro while in this city this week. He was refused the use of the Orpheum theater by the manager while in Salt Lake. This shows in a degree that the very violence and unreasonableness of the man make him an active lever for curing the nation of color prejudice. COLORADO CONFERENCE The electoral college of the Colorado Conference, A. M. E. church, composed of laymen, met in Colorado Springs Wednesday and chose as delegates to the general conference J. H. Jackson of Colorado Springs and P. E. Spratlin of Denver. As alternates, Harrison Smith of Denver and H. Holly of Pueblo. FIVE CENTS A COPY MRS.

She was buried Wednesday afternoon from Shorter church, of which she was a member, the interment being at Riverside. Rev. Douglas officiated and Q. J. Gilmore had charge of the funeral. She leaves two daughters and a brother in this city. Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. McCullough of Cripple Creek, relatives, came down. She was a member of the Chapter and ueen of the West Temple, under whose direction the services took place. K. OF P. DANCE Even inclement weather did not keep away a hall full of pleasure seekers who celebrated with Damon Lodge No. 5, K. of P., the anniversary of its organization, on Wednesday night at East Turner. It was the best evening of dancing in many a day and regrets are common from the stay-aways that they did not brave the weather. LA JUNTA NEWS Several young people of Rocky Ford attend the song services at the A. M. E. church Sunday. Mrs. M. Cross entertained a number of friends last Friday evening.

(From the Press Bureau.) Bethel Literary and Historical association closed its season for the year on Tuesday night with a symposium composed of some of the leading doctors of the city. Doctors James C. Dowling, Julia R. Hall, Michael O. Dumas and E. D. Williston compose the number. The doctors did justice to the cause and gave added lustre to their profession. With this meeting closed the first year of Miss Marie A. D. Madre's administration. In many of its features it was the most successful year in the history of the society. It began amid a storm; it ended in calm, with the hostile forces either subdued or reconciled by its success. The so-"Brownsville affair," contending that the president was wrong, and in this ciety early took a position upon the attitude it has been sustained by the country. It has given opportunity for men of all shades of opinions to present their case; and has been especially kind in bringing to the front young men, serving the public by a dissemination of truth and the higher conception of American citizenship. The Press Bureau has stood with Bethel Literary and the A. M. E. denomination throughout this year and no agency can more heartily congratulate Miss Madre and the society over which she has so ably presided than this Bureau. We trust that all those who have gone out from the society will return; a welcome awaits them. With those who are at the helm there is no rancor, no bitterness, but a spirit of progress and good will. Every step taken by those who stood by the "old ship" in the dark night has been justified by the success of the year. The society has succeeded, and "nothing succeeds like success." What it has done is now a matter of history, the glorious things to be achieved in the future will reflect credit upon its past and maintain an ideal for a worthy future. A quarter of a century of achievement, a quarter of a century of progress by this great organization, is crowned by the success of a woman's administration, which marks a worthy view of the world. Congratulating Miss Madre and the friends who have stood by her, we bid them sail on to a future worthy of the age of battle and strife.

A merchant in Nassau street took a novel method of advertising his wares last week. Two show cases of the upright variety stood in front of his door, and on each was planted dogs dressed in gaudy blankets and bedecked with miniature "plug" hats. Each held a stick in its mouth, from which was suspended in banner fashion, placards setting forth the merits of the merchant's goods. One of the dogs was a splendid specimen of a brindle bull; the other was an Irish terrier, the saucy expression of whose face was accentuated by the "plug" hat cocked rakishly over one ear. The two eyed the crowd somewhat bashfully and anon looked at each other as though to say: "To what base uses may we come at last?" Judging from the expressions heard in the crowd which almost blocked the narrow thoroughfare, the dogs were more a detriment to the storekeeper's trade than an aid. They delivered in the keen air, despite the protecting blankets, and looked so wistfully toward the store door as though begging to be released from their exposed position, that the people were more moved to pity them and condemn the storekeeper than to purchase his goods.—New York Press. FELT TENTS NO NOVELTY. Have Long Been Used as Shelter for Campaigning Soldiers. A Copenhagen dispatch tells of Dane who has invented a new military tent fashioned of felt. Possibly there may be some new method of treating the material, but felt tents are not a new device. They played their part in eastern history at a date sufficiently late to be in most people's recollection. The Turcoman tribes of Trans caspla, not to seek further, have used tents of felt for ages. The use of them had a curious effect upon a Russian expedition thirty-five years ago. Gen Lomakin assailed the stronghold of the Tekkes and fired in terrific volleys of grape and shell among the tents of felt. But no serious damage seems to have been done, and when the troops attempted the storming of the felt en campment they were repulsed and fled in wild panic. Rascally Government Official Brought to Time by President. When Andrew Jackson was president a poor widow who kept a boarding house. finding it impossible to collect her board bill from a government official, went to the White House and told the president about it. Jackson said to her: "He'll give you a note for it, won't he?" She said "Yes." "Then," said Jackson, "get his note and come back and see me again." She had no difficulty in getting the note, and, carrying it to the White House, the president took it and wrote on its back "Andrew Jackson," then told her to put it in a bank for collection. When the government official was notified that his note was in the bank for collection he laughed at the idea, but when he was told that it was indorsed by Andrew Jackson he got the money mighty quickly and paid it, and a few days afterward he was notified that his services were no longer wanted.

WEBSTERS INTERNATIONAL BOTTLEWARE (From Our Washington Correspondent) The Comin The Coming Conference THE A. M. E. DENOMINATION AND THE COMING GENERAL CONFERENCE FROM THE BAPTIST POINT OF VIEW. In 1787, in the month of November, 42 persons met Richard Allen and organized a class. And seven years later, after the first church fathered by colored men was erected by Richard Allen, there was sent out to the world a pronunciamenta declaring the independence of the church of Richard Allen from the white Methodists. The A. M. E. denomination was born in this act. In the vicissitudes that followed this humble beginning there came many trying days. The scope of the work and the possibilities of the future could not be seen. But it was essential, looking, as Richard Allen did, into the future, to see the necessity of a comprehensive organization which would meet the needs of future expansion and growth. How well and how clearly the great Father saw will be hereinafter shown. The task of organization to meet the future conditions, which were constantly undergoing changes, was fraught with dangers and uncertainties. It was begun at a time when there were many doubts and fears about the organization of our government. Our judicial system had just been created and organized; but no one knew how safe it would prove; it had not been tried. But the great spirits of the A. M. E. church perceived in our judicial system the outline of organization which would make for them and their work a perfect government. Hence they began in their limited field, creating bishoprics and dividing the work of the church field into districts over which should be placed bishops, and each bishop in his own district should be supreme. There was an automatic arrangement whereby the board of bishops could be enlarged to meet the needs. And then there followed the provision for the general officers, the elders, the ministers and the laity. Today the church has 14 Episcopal districts, each of which is presided over by a bishop, 12 general officers and the elders and ministers sufficient to meet the needs of the church and the demands of the day. Government in this denomination is the one highest illustration of the ability of the Negro of America to govern himself. Trusted as it is to a semi-monarchial power, it is so Origin Of. Organization. Government. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. carefully constructed and so perfectly poised by its system of weights and balances as to insure the attainment of the results, both secular and religious, which its founders contemplated in its creation. Its board of bishops, its bishops and general officers, all men of character and ability, so manage the affairs as to render remote, if not impossible, even serious error. So comprehensive and so complete is its government that it has often been referred to as a model government in itself. Thus far it has endured and gives every promise of continued success. It will endure, if, in the future, it will exercise that breadth of view which has characterized its past, and which we believe will characterize its future, always looking toward the larger liberty of the race for which it has done so much and for which it is to be the greatest agency in leading it to complete freedom. Of the Democracy. The work of the A. M. E. church in the past, through the church in its secular and religious field, gives hope, with its constantly increasing power in the world of education, for a greater future than it has enjoyed in the past. And out of the attitude of this church in the future must come the race's boon of liberty; from its attitude on democracy within its own measure our success or failure in the future. Will it look to that end? In 1908 the general conference will meet to fill the vacancies on the bench of bishops and elect the general officers of the church. In this conference the senior bishop of the A. M. E. denomination will be the leading spirit; to Bishop Henry M. Turner, one of America's greatest men, will be given the task to fight for those things which will be a safe guide for the future. He, above all men in his denomination, knows the experience of the past; he has passed through it and he realizes the responsibility resting upon him and his associates respecting the future. One of these responsibilities, and a great one, the greatest save one, is the election of men to fill vacancies on the bench of bishops who will be able to meet the demands of the present and the needs of the future. Some man must be found who has ability, capacity, character, religious zeal, who knows men and how to manage them; some man who can deal with the great moral, religious and secular interests coming under one in such a high office. It is necessary that such an one be a preacher, a preacher of rare ability; that he GRAND PICNIC GIVEN BY Pastor's Aid and Lady Masons Clubs OF CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH AT Up Platte Canon on the Colorado Southern Railroad Wednesday JUNE 12th '07 There will be Boating, Fishing, Baseball and other Amusements to suit all Excursion train will leave at 9:30 a. m., and return at 7 o'clock in the evening ROUND TRIP FARE ADULTS $1.50 Children 75c --- has been tried and found to be true. No man will be quicker to appreciate this condition, the necessity of these attributes, than the senior bishop, his associates and the delegates who are sent from all over the nation to cast their votes for the glorious perpetuation of the high ideals and broad usefulness of the A. M. E. denomination. In this field of noblest aspiration there is one figure, viewed from a purely Baptist perspective, who would not only be an ornament to the board of bishops of the A. M. E. denomination, but a blessing to the race and the nation. In him are embodied all of the elements of true Christian manhood, and he combines in his complex nature all the qualifications mentioned above. To the A. M. E. church it is given to elevate Dr. E. W. Lampton to the bishopric; it is he, as we see it, who deserves, who towers in resplendent grandeur above the rest; and who will wear the robes after the voice of wisdom has had a hearing. But the one greatest thought in the constantly changing scenes of our modern and complex life; the one great tendency in all the walks of man is toward a greater and more equitable representation of the Laity. No religious or secular agency in the world more fully appreciates this tendency and the necessity for it than the A. M. E. denomination. It is but a manifestation in another way of the broadening and increasing democracy in every avenue of life. That there was a necessity for the sole representation from the ministry in church affairs in the past fairness compels us to concede. Conditions warranted the guiding hand of intelligence and leadership to keep the masses in subjection, to control them and direct their energies for good. PAGE 13. for representation, not able to do what was needed to be done. But with the passing of the necessity to control the Laity by complete professional directorate, came the opportunity for representation from the Laity itself. The experiences of the great modern nations, in every avenue of human activity, tend toward the end of recognition of a broader democracy by giving to all elements of our social and religious organism the just proportion of representation; granting always that the body seeking recognition has men who are prepared. The conference of the A. M. E. church will be called upon to meet and settle this question in 1908. At present the whole official body of the church is composed of men from the ministry; the laity is not represented from its own. The question now is: Will the A. M. E. church take up the spirit of broader democracy and recognize the laity by elevating one from it who is equipped for the position which he seeks, or will it fail to recognize merit, embellished as it is by Christian ideals, generations of Christian training, character and capacity and a full knowledge of the work which is sought to be done? The most dinstinguished layman in the A. M. E. church, Mr. Ira T. Bryant, is he of whom we speak. That Bishop Turner, his associates and the delegates will elevate Mr. Bryant to the office of secretary of the Sunday School Union, we feel sure, and thus give the laity its due. AGAINST ROOSEVELT.

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 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, Prest. 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 Proud 153 R. KINZIE ST., CHICAGO, ILL.

Perkings for seven months and because of the wonderful good that she has done me, I write this testimonial that others may know of her work and be helped. When I began my treatment with Mrs. Perkins my hair was short and harsh and broke off close to my scalp in places, and now it is five inches in length, soft and pliable. I recommend Mrs. Perkins as a thoroughly reliable woman and I am proud to be a member of her class. MRS. MARY LEE HOWARD, 353 West Warren Avenue.

This sum was sent to Dr. Mojola Agbebi, M. A., Ph.D., an honorary member of the club who is engaged in missionary work in Southern Nigeria to assist him in extending the scope of his work. Dr. Agbebi visited the United States some three years ago and was, while here, the guest of J. E. Bruce, secretary of the Men's Sunday Club. The Doctor was a frequent visitor to the club and made a number of addresses to the members at their Sunday meetings, which endeared him to the men of the club. The officers of the Men's Sunday Club are: Rev. Francis J. Moultrie president and treasurer; Dr. J. A. Morgan, M.D., vice president; J. E. Bruce, recording secretary; J. A. Hall, financial secretary. The following correspondence will explain itself: Lago, Southern Nigeria, West Africa April 9, 1907. Dear Sir:-I have the honor to forward you the enclosed resolution of appreciation addressed by several prominent men of this community to the Yonkers Men's Sunday Club, of which you are a member and promoter. I have the honor to be, Dear Sir, Your obedient servant, To The Men's Sunday Club, Yonkers, N. Y., Expression of Appreciation from Lagos, West Africa: The friends, relatives and countrymen of Dr. Mojola Agbebi beg to tender to their friends and cousins in Yonkers and elsewhere in the United States their great appreciation and high esteem for the able and effective manner in which they have undertaken to lift up the hands of a worthy though distant, brother, Dr. Mojola Agbebi, and their admirable resolution to immortalize in him an African personality. They regard their decision to observe the 11th of October every year as "Agbebi Day" as reflecting graciously, not on themselves (at Yonkers) alone, but on the whole African race, and they trust Dr. Agbebi will continue to be one link beside others between Africa and America, and a THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. means whereby larger intercourse will arise between the Negro at home and the Negro abroad.

Russell, the new minister to Venezuela, was being congratulated on his appointment. "Thank you," said Mr. Russell. "I appreciate your good wishes, and I will try to do well in my new place. "In new places," he went on, "we all, with hard work, may do well. Now and then, before unexpected and unprecedented crises, we may err, but there is no need for us to err greatly—to err, for instance, as did the new waitress of a friend of mine. "This waitress was willing but inexperienced. The first day she prospered. The second day, having developed a good deal of faith in her, my friend gave a dinner party, and there she committed a tremendous solecism. "She was, it seems, a little short of forks. After each course she should have taken the soiled forks and washed and dried them in the pantry in a pan of hot water prepared for that purpose. "But, alas! instead of adopting any such method as that, the waitress, as she removed the plates after the fish course, said to the assembled guests in a loud, authoritative voice: 'All keep yer forks.'" Little Home Truths. Advice or reproof does more harm than good when it is so rudely or roughly given that it brings humiliation or indignation. If from your real affectionate regard for a relative you wish to point out to him or her an error or correct a fault, do so as gently and as cautiously as you know how, and do not try to correct mistakes or point out shortcomings too often, says the Washington Star. Give your advice in private, and always give less advice than sweet, complimentary speeches. A compliment is not less but more relished when it comes from a member of one's family than when it is a tribute won from a stranger, and these signs of appreciation that you give of some dear one's wit, wisdom or beauty are little home truths that are ever affectionately remembered and come ever like gentle dews to refresh the seeds of affection and loving kindness that are planted in our hearts. Dist. Atty. French and the Finn. Dist. Atty. French of the southeastern district of Massachusetts has a sense of humor which he is not always able to suppress. Some time ago it became his duty to try a man in Norfolk county for murder in the second degree. The defendant was a Finn, who knew no English, and testified in his own behalf through an interpreter. He was convicted. Shortly after the verdict Mr. French was met by a member of the bar, who congratulated him, and added that he supposed he was gratified at the result. "Yes," replied the district attorney, "because whereas I have heretofore only heard the prisoner's Finnish, I now see it." PAGE 6. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. The colored people turned out en mass two hundred strong at Red Men's hall last Monday evening to congratulate and to honor the three young ladies who graduated with high honors in the 1907 class at the University of New Mexico. Thus the demonstration was indeed worthy of the effort as it not only confers great honor to our first Negro graduates but it should encourage other Negro children to go to school until they reach the goal for great honor awaits them. The Afro-American League of Albuquerque is deserving of much credit for the method they adopted in bringing this historical event to the eyes of the world. The league presented to each of the young graduates, Misses Francis Ellsworth, Anita Jasper and Yolo Black a nice book of the works of C. Cragman, entitled "Progress of a Race," which was highly appreciated by the young ladies. The presentation speech was made by Prof. J. B. Lott, the oldest Negro school teacher in the city. Others who took part on the program were Mrs. L. B. Black, Rev. C. P. Crawford, Rev. Byas, Rev. M. Jones and ye humble correspondent. A vote was passed by the assemblage sincerely thanking Prof. Tight and the factulty for the fairness and justice that these young ladies received from them during their school term. After the rendition of the program an exquisite three-course menu was served to the delight of all present. Rev. W. T. Thornton, chairman of committee on program, and H. Bramlett, chairman of committee on arrangements, are deserving of much praise for the success of this historical occasion. The hall was beautifully decorated by the efficient service of members of the league. The A. M. E. church held a sacred concert last Sunday evening. The program was under the management of Mr. G. H. Byas. Much knowledge was gained by the event. G. Oxindine's gold strike in the Coyote canon is said to be the richest strike ever made in New Mexico and all the mountain in that region is rapidly being taken up by prospectors, several of our leading business men are interested in the mine with Oxendine. Mrs. S. H. Byas was taken suddenly ill last week. Mrs. A. B. Montgomery is slowly recovering from a serious spell of sickness. PAYNE CHAPEL NOTES. Sunday school 3 p. m.

TAKE THE BERK LEY-ELITCH CAR. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being 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). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M.

Readers of this paper will notice the absence from our news columns of the notice of the excursion to have been run by the Knights of Pythias to Meadow Park Labor day. The committee informs us that the Burlington railroad, over which the excursion would have taken place, has cancelled the contract for the reason that they would not have sufficient cars to accommodate an excursion on that day. This news came to us just at the time that we were preparing to give notice to the refusal of the Burlington to permit Zion Baptist church to use the Meadow Park grounds and have an excursion over its road on an earlier date, and the reason given by the contract agent in this case was that they would not contract to carry a Negro excursion. The only excursion given of late years over this road was that of Zion Baptist church last summer and it was one of the largest that ever left Denver. Persons who went on that expressed themselves as having had the time of their lives. It was composed of high class negroes and was free from the drunkedness and rowdyism that characterize many excursions of whites. The only inference to be drawn is that the Burlington local management does not want colored excursion patronage regardless of all considerations of the deportment of excursionists. We welcome into the field of larger usefulness the graduates of the year. It is a pleasure to find the number of those who finish the earlier preparation to enter into sterner life increasing with each year. No more hopeful sign of the realization among us of what citizenship demands than the willingness with which our youth are doing well this first thing of educating themselves. It is early for prophecy, but it is fair to presume that the same thoroughness will characterize their lives. The local graduates are Misses PAGE & THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

How shameful to compare the saviour of his country with the man who did all in his power to wreck it; the emancipator of a race with the chief apostle of that race's bondage. Got Even with the Professor. Prof. Robert C. Brooks of Swarthmore college is a great stickler for hard, persistent work on the part of his students, and is correspondingly disinclined to regard with favor anything savoring of dilettantelism. One day recently a young lady of the college approached him with a request to be allowed to attend a certain lecture course he was giving, at the same time expressing her great regret that she was unable to register for regular work in it. "Certainly, certainly, the oxygen's free, I suppose," answered the professor rather sententiously. The students smiled as the young lady took her seat with a dazed expression, but at the next meeting of the class she had her revenge. Passing the professor's desk at the beginning of the hour, she inquired sweetly "Is the hot air still free, professor?"—New York Times. Mrs. Nuwife was vexed. "You are always kicking about myooking," she said, "and saying that my doughnuts are not fit for human feelings to eat. And yet I notice that you have gobbled up every one of that last batch!" The brute was staggered, but only for a moment. "Yes, my dear," he answered, calmly, "but why? I knew that if I did not eat them our poor little baby would insist on having some. And, rather than have the child poisoned, I took the awful risk involved in devouring them myself. You evidently do not understand, my dear, that I am a self-sacrificing parent!" The silence that ensued was only broken by a crashing sound as of an empty doughnut dish breaking upon a human head. Cleveland Leader. --- Humane. Why help pay big rent?

HAS LARGER ASSETS Than all Colorado Assessment Insurance Companies combined Or your Doctor about it Ira G. Harris, President SHE IS FOND OF FLOWERS. Late John Hay's Eldest Daughter is a Floriculturist. Instead of driving a four-in-hand or running a gasoline chariot, Mrs. Payne Whitney prefers quieter pleasures and finds other outlets for her talents, says the New York Press. Floriculture, sometimes called the most feminine of fads, is her hobby, and she finds her flowers a never-ending diversion. The large gardens which are laid out on her picturesque estate at Manhasset are under her constant supervision and contain the largest collection of roses in the country. In these fields blossom roses of every variety, large and small, single and double, from simple of dress to the heavy colored. Mrs. Whitney recently paid a fabulous sum for a rose imported from Paris, which is said to be a radical departure from anything ever seen here before. The French capital has the rose craze just now and many rich floriculturists there are vying with the orchid collectors of London, among whom Joseph Chamberlain is the leader, for supremacy in the size of collections. It is even said that some of this interest proceeds from a belief that speculation in flower culture forms an agreeable digression from commonplace margins deals in stocks. Woman Doctor's Good Work. Women are rapidly forging ahead in conservative old India. Dr. Kugler, an American, who was the first woman physician to practice in the Madras presidency, was recently decorated with the Kaisar-i-Hind medal, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Lord Ampthill, in presenting the decoration, recalled how Dr. Kugler, in the face of much opposition, collected a lakh of rupees (between $25,000 and $20,000), to build a hospital at Gantur for women and children, where more than 7,000 patients are now treated. Mrs. Benson, long active in the National Indian association, was also decorated. About the same time three Parsees matriculated at the Grant Medical college in India. One of these, Miss Gulbai M. Doctor, after a brilliant college career, in which she has won many prizes, has captured the Empress' silver medal, three gold medals and a scholarship. Remarkable Book. The world's most remarkable book, at least so far as its appearance is concerned, is in the National Library of Paris. The letters are cut out of tissue paper with a pair of scissors. Each sheet of blue tissue, out of which the letters are cut, is placed between two pages of white, and so the matter is easily read. Danger in Wire Fencing. Since the use of wire fences has become so extensive the number of cattle killed each year by lightning has greatly increased. Farmers' insurance companies have investigated the matter and now come forward with a warning to policy holders. Nearly all of the cattle killed by lightning have met their death in open fields, where in many instances there was not even a tree to attract the electric fluid. As many dead cattle were found near wire fences this led to the discovery that the lightning was carried along the wires composing the fences. During a severe storm cattle are liable to run until stopped by a fence. Here THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. OFFICES--SUITES: 616-617- DENVER, PAGE 9. Phone Main 52
