THE STATESMAN THE ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT EIGHTEENTH YEAR. THE ANNUAL COMM (From the Press Bureau.) The annual commencement of the colored high and normal schools of the District of Columbia was held at the Convention Hall on last Friday night. The schools represented were Normal School No. 2, M. Street High school and the Armstrong Manual Training school. The graduates presented a beautiful picture, full of hope, full of enthusiasm and promise. Mr. W. V. Cox, a member of the board of education, presided and made the opening address, advising all the graduates that industrial education is the panacea for the ills which are met in the battle of life among the colored people. Dr. M. W. Clair, pastor of Asbury M. E. church of this city, delivered the address to the graduating classes. He spoke of the effect of education upon the races of mankind in general. He admonished the young men and young women to keep ever before them the ideal of liberty in its highest conception. Study biography, the speaker advised, read history and learn of the men and women who did so well their work. He quoted the Declaration of Independence, the sweet philosophy of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the battle cry of Martin Luther and the sanguine call to arms of Garrison. In short, the gist of what the great speaker said was: All races of mankind are equal in intellectual power and should have the same chance, or the identical chance in the race of life. The speech was one of the ablest efforts ever made in the nation's capitol, and the 6,000 people who heard it went away feeling that there is a future for the young men and women of our race. There was no wash-tub or pick and shovel gibberings in the speech. It was one great broad plea for the open door and a square deal. Black men and women of the nation it was good to be there. Dr. W. S. Montgomery awarded the scholarships that were given to some of the students by the M. Street High school. On the platform were many number on the platform was Miss DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY JUNE 21, 1907. Lucy E. Moten, who received more applause than anyone in the hall, save Doctor Clair, and that was significant jo pheoq eq jo aeqquam eq eq on education. The Star of the East is rising. FLAG DAY. On last Friday Flag Day was observed in the public schools of the District of Columbia. H. J. Pinkett delivered the address on that occasion at Cook school; pointing out that the American Flag represents liberty, fraternity, equality; that this trinity is for all Americans; that the way to realize these ideals, this trinity, is to learn to think, to know; that the awakening of the soul through getting hold of education is the path which surely leads to liberty, full and complete. He advised the teachers to teach the ideals of liberty, keep them ever before the young, make them spurn all inequality and put and keep their little feet in the paths of truth, which leads finally to the one great broad plane of equality, the Unit—God. The program rendered by the children of the school was very pleasing and full of inspiration and hope. Mr. Wormley, one of the teachers in the building, was master of ceremonies. THE HART FARM. Prof. Wm. H H. Hart has suffered enough. About ten years ago he started the Hart Farm school. It was the greatest conception for the care of youth in our history. After a struggle of years he failed; not because he lacked ability to run the school, but because he stood for the Constitution of his country and was unwilling to truckle and debase his ideals of human liberty. He had his faults, and they may have contributed to the ammunition of his enemies. But the failure of the Hart Farm school and the subsequent entry of Prof. Hart into bankruptcy was due to the stand he took and maintained for the rights of himself and his fellows (C ontinued on page 2.) TATESI State Historian & Nat- ural History Society RIDAY JUNE 21, 1907. TOOK HER BY SURPRISE. While Rev. Mrs. Byrd was down town shopping about fifty of her friends assembled at the residence of Mrs. J. H. Byrd to surprise her and bid her farewell. Mrs. Wilson, her daughter, was so taken by the unexpected pleasantry that it was sometime before she could realize the situation. Happiness in talking with their old friends and much gladness was evidenced by the entire party. Sweet songs and old familiar reminiscences were called to mind and heartily enjoyed by all. Little Cuthbert Myrd sang "Holy City" and "Free as a Bird," which was given much applause. After bidding Rev. Mrs. Byrd a pleasant adieu the party departed, complimenting Mrs. Angie Brookins and Mr. and Mrs. James Byrd for the pleasant evening. ORGANIZED The colored trainmen have, through Attorney Ross, incorporated themselves into an organization for protection, benevolence and fraternity, under the name of Order of Colored Railroad Trainmen of U. S. A. Messrs, L. F. Macrae, D. H. Hickman, D. C. Coby, Sam Ames, Hugh Bean, Wm. Moore and J. M. Osborne are the directors for the first year. UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. The Cosmopolitan Cafe is now occupying the location of 1922 Lawrence street, under the management of Jack Shelbun, the well known U. P. buffet man. Mr. Shelbun has long been a fixture on the Denver-Chicago service and has accurate knowledge of the manner of catering to the public's tastes. The cafe will be conducted on high lines with the best of service from the kitchen to the smallest detail of its service. Already a stream of patrons have begun to pour in, attesting the superior service and the future is bright for Denver's latest business man. A SAFE INVESTMENT. H. D. Earl of Colorado Springs was up this week in the interest of the Freeman Mining and Milling company. This company is showing commendable perseverance and energy and is receiving the high compliment of being considered a safe investment by some of the Springs' shrewdest mining investors and brokers. Mr. Earl returned home Wednesday. --- המשתמש MAN FIVE CENTS A COPY ACCOMPLISHED RESULTS. Only two years ago space was given in this paper to a word of welcome to the then new pastor of Central Baptist church in the person of Rev. C. D. Douglas and the hope that was expressed that he would prove a capable leader to deliver this congregation from the financial difficulties surrounding it. On last Sunday was finished the work begun with his coming. From what seemed a hopeless struggle Central church has come out more than conqueror and the following letter of thanks tells of the last grand rally: Some time within a week there will be a mortgage burning and grand jollification. Having one of the choice properties of the city all Denver rejoices that no longer is there any possibility of it passing from the hands of the race. REV. HUTTON. So much interest has never been displayed in any subject as that of Sunday at the alliance when Rev. Mr. Hutton, the Y. M. C. A. international delegate of the World's congress, told of his varied, interesting and thoughtful experiences while in the Orient. Of the Japs' customs, habits, modes of living, education and religion, he showed himself to be thoroughly conversant. Everybody congratulated himself on hearing the treat. NUMEROUS OUTINGS The fraternities and churches will be giving outings of one kind and another during the summer season, the first one coming this week. The object of such organizations being the good of the whole people through those directly united with them, it is fitting that they should have a substantial patronage from the public. We hope to record many brilliant financial successes of such entertainers and not a single failure. DISTRICT CONFERENCE The Conference of the Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. El church will convene as follows: Puget Sound Conference, August 22nd, Spokane, Wash.; California Conference, Sept. 4, Los Angeles, Calif.; Colorado Conference, Sept. 18, Shorter Chapel, Denver; Kansas Conference, Sept. 25, Parsons, Kans.; North Missouri Conference, Oct. 2, St. Joseph, Mo.; Missouri Conference, Oct. 9, St. Paul's church, St. Louis, Mo. --- PAGE 10. 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. This is a good company for the investor to keep watch on and a better one to put his money in. NO DOUBT OF THEIR CONDITION. Misa Barton Convinced That Two Men Required Incarceration. Miss Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, narrated recently at Atlantic City an episode in which she shared during a visit to the insane asylum at Norristown, Pa., that she made some years ago. Miss Barton went all through the huge and well-kept asylum, and nothing extraordinary happened till she was departing. Then two men, conversing earnestly together, came over the lawn toward her. The first, lifting his hat politely, said: "Madam, I am the Angel Gabriel, and I have been sent here by our Lord to inquire into the state of your spiritual health." Before Miss Barton could reply the second man spoke up: "Pay no attention, madam," he said, "to this person. I am God the Father, and I assure you that I assigned no one to such an errand." World-Weary. Mother! Your little boy comes home again So lonely for the love of yesterday! Cuddle me down in your dear arms as then. For I am tired of play! Kiss, kiss mine eyelids down all tenderly Just as of old, that so to me may seem All this world-weariness which mockt at me Is but a dream—a dream! Mother! I want to whisper in your ear The same sweet prayer your own lip, taught to me Long, long ago, for surely God will hear A child so dear to thee! Mother! Your little boy has wandered far Down the years—but still a little child I want to toddle back home where you are And see you as you smiled Upon me last, and dying, gave me to The gentle Mother Nature's care and keep; I am so tired, dear, and I want you To rock me back to sleep! -Laurence Curran Hudson in St. Paul Dispatch.

Mrs. Edith Ricker of Burlington, Ia., has for three years enjoyed the distinction of being the only woman employed by the United States government as a field assistant in entomology. Mrs. Ricker's work is to collect, study and make scientific reports to Dr. L. A. Howard of the habits of the mosquito in Montana. In company with her husband, Prof. Maurice Ricker, and little daughter, Mrs. Ricker has been located two seasons on the banks of Swan river in Montana at its outlet into Flathead lake. The biological station of the University of Montana is also situated on Flathead lake. Flathead lake and the vicinity was selected by the government as an ideal location for the study of the mosquito. Within walking distance of the Ricker camp is the Swan mountain range, while the Mission range comes abruptly to the water's edge and slopes from Swan river on the north to the high peaks, 10,000 feet at the southern end. The scenery is wild and rugged, suggestive of Alpine views. Mrs. Ricker begins collecting about the middle of June. Going into swamps and ravines to catch the troublesome insect necessitates a regulation costume for protection against their painful bites. The costume consists of leather leggings, bloomers of heavy cloth, a blouse, head net of fine netting and gauntlet gloves. The camping party lives in the open air, sleeping out of doors, and enjoys outdoor life. It is a queer but true fact that, with the exception of a few hours last summer, the campers enjoyed absolute freedom from the annoyance of mosquitoes. When they did arrive, however, for that few hours' visit one evening, they came suddenly; myriads of them besieged the party and kept them busy fighting for protection for four hours. Then they disappeared as suddenly as they had come. This visit was attributed to a severe windstorm from the land four miles away blowing them in that direction. Mrs. Ricker says a single uncovered rain barrel will breed mosquitoes to torment the entire neighborhood Five hundred and thirty-five different specimens have been developed in a few days at the station from six dippersful of rainwater, but a tablespoonful of kerosene in the barrel soon stiffed the insects.

Light stimulates and frouses the activities. Darkness is supposed to produce drowsiness. Put some chopped ice in a rubber bag and Place it at the lower extremity of the spine. This is particularly quieting to the nerves. Do not use anything but @ rubber bag or you will merely have a damp cloth and rheumatism by morning. Do not use a pillow. Re lax every muscle so far as possibla Sprawl over the bed with arms and legs stretched out. Take a sponge bath with tepid water just before going to bed. Lie on your face in- stead of your back. That is the way dables sleep and their methods are scarcely to be {mproved upon in this particular.

Miss Beatrice Reed read a thoughtful paper on "Earnestness and Element to Success. Mrs. Jefferson lead the discussion. Music by Misses Bessie Jackson and Clara Seymour. Amendments were submitted, those passing are that the federation shall be the "Colorado Federation and Jurisdiction of Colored Women's Clubs." thus extending the work throughout the west to California, and that all city federations shall have one delegate for every ten clubs or less. Thursday evening session was interesting. Excellent round table talks by Mrs. Helen Gatewood and Miss Nelsine Howard. Address by Prof. Jackson. Paper my Mrs. Lulu Oliver, "Health and Heredity." Paper, Mrs. L. M. Froman, "Social Purity, Advantage of Training and Environment." Rev. Johnson lead the invocation. Resolutions were adopted. Mrs. Butler rendered a vocal solo. With this ended the best attended and most genuine helpful meeting ever held by the State Federation. Friday morning the observation committee, with Mrs. Lena Seymour, chairman, gave all delegates and visitors a free trolley ride over the city and Manitou, picnic at Zoo, spending the day in the mountains. We, your committee on resolutions beg leave to submit the following: The fourth annual convention of The Colorado State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs assembled in Colorado Springs June 13-14, 1907, humbly and gratefully acknowledge the kind providence of God in the preservation and welfare of our organization and in bringing us together as co-laborers for the promotion of our efforts for racial uplift. In as much as the aim and object of all government is to have good citizens, therefore be it Resolved, That we, The Colorado State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs reaffirm our conviction that the future of the Negro race rests upon the mothers, realizing more each year that her mission more than any other is to attend to the intellectual and PAGE 13. minds, which under God has been given her. Her responsibility is beyond estimate. Be it further Resolved, That the said federation stands pre-eminently for purity in the home, knowing that if this source is pure the child is well prepared for whatever other educational advantages our system of public schools afford. Thus shall American citizenship be safe in the hands of our children and safe with future generations. Be it further Resolved, That we refute the statements made by two of Denver's ministers, that we constitute a race of criminals, and are undesirable citizens. It is appalling to us when we think of the fact that 85 per cent of the convicts in the southern states are negroes, yet we can account for a part of this enormous per cent of crime when we know that the courts are dominated over by men who can, at wil, pervert and interpret the laws according to the color of the skin and not the equality of right that should be granted to all men. Let us remember that whenever the spirit of fraternity has let down the bars of prejudice our race has stepped in and taken it place with those who march onward. The Colorado State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs rejoices to see our people owners of many beautiful homes, the well kept lawns and tasteful arrangements bespeak the thrifty housewife, but we are compelled to emphasize this fact, mothers must not only teach but must practice refinement and gentility of manner, thereby lessening the cause for the undesirable colored neighbor. Be it further Resolved, That we thank all who have done so much to make this one of the most successful conventions ever held in the state. This church in which the convention convened donated b yits trustees and minister, the splendid generosity of the citizens who have entertained the delegates in their homes, the press, the city council, also the manager of the zoo, who gave 300 tickets for admission, and the last but by far the most importand factor in the supervision of every courtesy, The City Federation of Colorado Springs. Once again we give you hearty thanks. MRS. J. R. CONTEE, Chairman, MRS. HELEN GATEWOOD, MRS. JULIA YOUNG, MRS. HAYES, MISS ROSA BOWERS, MRS. KATHERYN D. TILLMAN, MRS. IDA DePRIEST, Sec.

The custodian of the royal library in Vienna found, the other day, in a pile of unsorted parchment, a valuable manuscript of the thirteenth century about 300 lines of a versified translation of the Bible into the Bavarian-Alemanic dialect, made by Rudolf von Ems, in Switzerland. Its importance lies in the fact that this was really the first Bible version into German.

At one time the wedding ring was worn on the forefinger and was thickly studded with precious stones. People who have seen the old pictures of the Madonna in Rome will remember that in one or two of them there is a glistening ring on the forefinger of her right hand, but with Christianity came the wearing of the wedding ring on the third finger rather than the first. The old story of there being a vein that runs from that finger to the heart is nonsense. Its use originated in this way: The priest first put it on the thumb, saying: "In the name of the Father;" on the forefinger, adding, "in the name of the San;" on the second finger, repeating, "in the name of the Holy Ghost," and on the third finger, ending with "Amen," and there it stayed. Edison May Travel. Inventor Edison is said to contemplate an extended tour of Europe. His greatest "finds" have been made in complete solitude, mostly in the dead of night, for he has a horror of interruption. An Occupation Gone. If people spoke the simple truth In language just and wise The gossips all would die, in sooth, For want of exercise. Made a Good Trade. Years ago, when the stages used to stop at East Lebanon, N. H., the tavern was kept by Landlord Barns. Every fall the farmers used to go to the city with the produce. One fall when they passed through, the good landlord had just buried his wife, and the travelers pitied him. When the next fall came, and one of the travelers arrived, he said to the landlord: "I have pitied you all this year for losing your wife. It was a hard blow." "I don't know about that," replied the landlord. "I married another woman with a boy big enough to work, and $500. I made a good trade." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Direct Connection Between the Two Has Been Proved. Grant Dexter in his book on "Weather Influences" says that "inhabitants of hot climates are usually listless, uninventive, apathetic and improvident. An equable high temperature, especially if moist, weakens body and mind. No long established lowland tropical people is a conquering race in the broadest sense of the word. For the inhabitants of the higher altitudes, even under the tropical sun, this may be true; for as we ascend the temperature lessens about 1 degree ever 270 feet on an average, and even at the equator we may have a temperate climate. The most favorable temperature for health, which carries with it an aggressive energy which leads and which has led the world march of civilization, is about 45 degrees, on an average, and this is found in the temperate zones. From there have come the brawn and brain of martial conquest and intellectual attainment. The dominant peoples are shown between the latitudes of 25 degrees and 55 degrees. "During the London fogs and on days when the weather is particularly depressing, in the Bank of England certain sets of books an error in which would be cumulative and produce disastrous results further on are locked up and the clerks set to tasks less intricate and important in character. Experience has taught those in charge that the percentage of error increases many fold during such climatic conditions, and that it is money in pocket to yield to them. The same necessity for cessation of certain lines of work during bad "spells of weather" is recognized by the larger banking institutions in New York and the other eastern cities. "It has been the universal experience of the superintendents of prisons and asylums for the insane that the persons in their charge varied so markedly with the meteorological conditions that no man could doubt that the relation between the weather and emotional states was any other than that of cause and effect. When asked, however, what definite conditions of the weather tended to be the most productive of emotional abnormalities, no satisfactory answer could be made." It is inconsistent. When a recent downpour was doing its worst to the down town crowd a man caused consternation in a department store by asking for a woman's rain cloak. "Do you mean a mackintosh—a rain coat," asked the clerk. "I mean what I said," returned the man, stubbornly. "I think we have what you want," said the clerk, "but we never call them rain cloaks." "Why don't you?" asked the man. "That is what you ought to say. Everything else worn by women has a feminine name, then why not these—yes, sir, I will say it—these waterproof cloaks? Why aren't you consistent? You call a long garment made of cloth a cloak, but when it happens to be made of rubber it takes on masculine tributes and becomes a rain coat. Why?" "That is one too many for me," replied the clerk. "All I know is that we'd be considered crazy if we should advertise a special sale of rain 'cloaks.'"—Chicago Inter Ocean. or on any kind of terms, until you have received our complete Free Catalogues illustrating and describing every kind of high-grade and low-grade bicycles, old patterns and latest models, and learn of our remarkable LOW PRICES and wonderful new offers made possible by selling from factory direct to rider with no middlemen's profits.

We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $5.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented.

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 1855, 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.

Theale and will not desert him ae] ee eae ae willing to have sacrificed his man- hood, his right to live a free man and become the slave of the moneyed men of the nation, he could have been suc- cessful, as success goes these days. But he chose another path; the path of The Pilgrim Fathers, the path of Garrison, of Phillips Brooks, of Beech- er, of Sumner, of Wm. M. Evarts, of Immortal Douglas. And because he chose the paths trod by these men he is yet poor, is still pursued. His en- emies are now trying to have him re- moved from the Law Department of Howard University, Not because he is not a good teacher, not because he fails to do his duty, not because he shirks a single task, for he is one of the best teachers this country has produced, but because he teached lib- erty and truth as it is embodied in our organic law. This he learned at the feet of Wm. M. Evarts, of Hoar, of Edmunds and the rest. For this cause he is pursued and hounded by beings who are unworthy to unloose the latchets of his shoes. These beings are trying to dethrone him and suc- ceed him. Rather than see the cor- rupt and bitter vultures succeed in removing Prof. Hart, we would rather see the Law School a thing of mem- ory. The success the school has en- joyed is due as much to him as any other single factor, save one, and we owe it to ourselves to see to it that incompetents, tattlers, tale-bearers and parasites do not succeed against him. The descendants of Wm. M. Evarts still live, and they will not see father's product destroyed. Prof. Wm. H. H. Hart has suffered enough. THE MAN WHO BETRAYS YOU. Who is an enemy? That man is an enemy who skulks about in the dark, back biting, tattling and slandering his fellow-men. That man is an en- emy who profits by your knowledge today and uses it to destroy you to- morrow. That man is an enemy who sits at your feet and learns the great truths of the human race and of the world and then, like a cold and bitter serpent, stings to death the being who has warmed it into life, and brought it in toneh with great truths. That man is an enemy who is ever playing the role of a tale-beargr, a tattler, a back-biter, an assassin of reputation and character, a cowardly slanderer and sneak. WILL NOT LOSE. The world of politics presents many phases, with Philander Chase Knox as the leading candidate in the regular lists. What the next week will bring forth, we cannot surmise. On the 20th of this month Senator Foraker is to deliver the commencement ad- dress at Wilberforce University. It is thought that this utterance will contain something that will be of par- ticular interest to the colored people and of especial interest to the presi- dent and his followers. Senator For- aker, the Sumner of his day, will not lose the battle he is fighting. The colored voters of Ohio stand at his back and will not desert him. The south will go into convention for him, and the delegates will have to be dealt with there. Let come what may, Senator Foraker will always be a formidable than, wherever he may be on the broad field of political philos- ophy as the champion of our constitu- tion. Senator Foraker is a thinker, not a demagogue. And with Ruskin we are led to say—Beware when the great God turns loose a thinking man upon this earth.” THE BEST FROM US, Senator Foraker has succeeded in getting in some of the best testimony that has thus far been given for the soldiers of the 25th regiment, and having the hearings postponed until November, The testimony given by Major Penrose, Captain Macklin and General Burt was as good as could be given. Senator Foraker deserves the best from us all. Will the colored people stand by him in 1908? Will they hold their purpose untjl next June. If they will hold their purpose until June, they will hold it until next No- vember, and if they hold it until then, they will decide the political destiny of the nation. Stand up for Foraker, he has stood up for you. TIME WILL TELL. In the world of education in this section now, there is but one theme— Howard University. All thoughtful people are viewing with alarm the pro- ‘nouncements that are coming forth from time to time. The announce ment in the Evening Star that Booker T. Washington only favors higher ed- ueation for the ministry, and this too from Dr. Wilbur P. Thirkield, is mak- ing stout hearts quail. But it is scarcely possible that the bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal chureh who stood for the university two years ago, can repudiate their stand now and see the institution de- stroyed. Time will tell what is to come. Friends, “Eternal Vigilance is the price of Liberty.” LADIES ATTENTION! Mrs. M. A.

At an annual town meeting the appropriations for the coming year were the cause of some heated discussions. Mr. Wakefield advocated an appropriation for painting one of the schoolhouses in the section near his residence. The watchdog of the town treasury strenuously objected that the town could not afford it, and others concurred in that view. and others Stand Nineteenth and Downing Aves. Phone York 340 Mr. Wake- "Mr. Mod- building for Residence 1766 Race Street Phone White 2432 This opposition aroused Mr. Wakefield, and he exclaimed: "Mr. Moderator, we can paint that building for less money than it costs my friend each year to paint his nose." It was a home thrust; the appropriation went through with a shout, and in due time the schoolhouse was painted red. Even Greenland's icy mountains have their plutocrats. One Kor-ko-ya, of East Baffinsland, literally stupefies his fellow-tribesmen with his luxury. He lives in a wooden house, owns a table and a paraffin lamp, and recently, to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the foundation of his business, he stood cod liver oil all round to his employees.

There is some doubt as to the derivation of the word "spelling." It is believed to be from the Anglo-Saxon word "spel," meaning discourse or story, and the verb "spellian," to declare, relate, tell, as in "spell," a charm, and "gospel." However, there may have been some confusion with "spell." a slip of wood, since such a slip was used in old-time schools to point to the letters of a word, one after another, in spelling them out. ..Rocky Mountain..

THE LONGER WAY ROUND, Belentist’s Comparison in Condemning New Syetem of Pumping. oe, 2) ea oe oo a ee ae Sir William Ramsay visited Phila- felphia recently with the Society of Chemical Industry, and during his visit & reporter questioned him about the drinking water of the world’s great cities, “London's drinking water ts most (mpure,” the scientist said. “They hold that the English take more baths than any other nation, but it is neverthe less a fact that you Philadelphians, when your filtration plants shall be completed, will have a larger water supply than London, notwithstanding the big difference in the two cities’ Dopulations.” The reporter explained a new sys- tem for pumping water. “What do you think of that system, Sir William?” he concluded. “T think it is a slow, roundabout and awkward way of remedying impure water's evils,” said the scientist. “It reminds me of the way a parlor maid cf mine once tried to remedy the evil of a wrongly set table. “This maid was left-handed, and in laying the cloth for a certain party she put the knives on the left of the plates and the forks on the right. All wrong, yon see, “The housekeeper, coming in to look the table over, noticed the error at once. “Why, Harriet,’ she sald, ‘you have Placed all the knives and forks left handed.’ “Ah, so T have,’ sighed Harriet. ‘Would you be kind enough now, Ma'am, to help me turn the table?’ ” A Need of the Hour. “It seems to me,” said his friend, “that your college ought to establish @ chair of gambling.” “A chair of what?” said the profes sor. “Gambling. It is the great occupa tion of many if not most of us, and the average college graduate is apt to take it up in some form or otber in spite of all the warning he may recelve. Therefore, why not train him to follow it with skill and success? Why not have, say, lectures on how to play poker, on how to play the races, on how to speculate in stocks, and £0 on?

Not long ago the known globe, but especially that part of it known ag Ire land, was thrilled that on Irish soil a gold mioe had been discovered. Noth- ing afterward was heard of it for a long time and many may have classed the new: along with those discoveries of perpetual motion and instantaneous spontation that are constantly being made. But now come detailed descriptions of the mine, with the assurances that it fs an actuality. It les in County Donegal and is owned by a company under the control of one Robert John- ston, Belfast timber merchant. The rock is said to be rich in all sorts of minerals, but richest of all in gold, holding as much of this metal az two oances to the ton. This would make tt one of the richest mines in the world.

Herrick spoke to the pupils of the life of the late distin- guished statesman, and thus asked, genially: “Now, can any of you tell me what a statesman is?” A little hand went up, and a little girl replied; “A statesman is a man who makes speeches.” “Hardly that,” answered Mr, Her- rick, who loved to tell this story. “For instance, | sometimes make Speeches, aud yet I am not a states: man.” The little hand again went up, and the answer came, triumphantly: “I know; a statesman is a man wha makes good speeches!”—Boston Her ald.

HOLLY phone Olive 1984, 2118 Arapahoe Street The children's grandfather made them a wonderful clock. It was out in the garden, and by it every one could tell the time of day. Of what do you suppose he made it? Flowers, and this is the way he did it. First, says the Washington Star, he made a great flower bed and divided it into twelve parts. The divisions were marked out by rows of box plants, and in the center was a post three feet high. This post had two hands on it, but, of course, these were only for show. A sun dial on the post told the time truly in case any of the little flowers got out of order. As some plants open only at night the twelve divisions of the clock were divided into parts. On one side were night, on the other day bloomers. At 4 in the morning goatsbeard and blue chickory opened. The petals of the chicory were a bright blue. They grew lighter in color until they were nearly white. The children called the flowers "Miss-go-to-bed-at-noon," as 12 o'clock found all their petals closed. At 5 o'clock the morning glory and poppy opened their eyes. At 6 the yellow hark-weed and dandelions. At 7 o'clock the water lilies were in all their glory and if the day was fine 8 o'clock found the pimpernel with its red eyes wide open. At 9 marigold and tulips spread out. At 10 Stars of Bethlehem were at their best, for at 11 they were found all shut up. At 12 o'clock the may passion flowers awoke and sweet peas then triumphantly unfurled their many-colored banners. At 6 dalsies were the brightest and at o'clock in the afternoon the flower appropriately named four-o'clock was ready to show itself. At 5 o'clock the "beauty of the night" awakes and at 6 the evening primrose was blooming its loveliest At 7 the white lychnis (only a night bloomer) opened and later still the night primroses put out their white bloom. At 2 o'clock in the morning the purple convolvulus awoke and wondered if the sun had forgotten to get up. Stage Hand Saves an Actor. "My monologue was not favorably received by the audience," said an actor in speaking of his career. "I had made up my mind to quit the stage and return to a clerkship in the auditing department of a water company. The night which I had determined to be my last upon the stage I was received by a chilly audience. The house attaches were cold; the other actors freezing. "When I was about through with my monologue, a malicious stage band let down a piece of machinery, which hit me on the shoulders. The people laughed derisively. I turned indignantly and saw back of me a street scene. That saved me. Stepping forward said with an injured air: Spread of Education In 1840, the year in which the United States census began to enumerate the number of persons that had attended school the previous year, the total amount of schooling for each inhabitant was 208 days, and according to the census of 1850 the average amount of schooling had increased to 420 days, for this decade was a period of agitation on the part of Horace Mann and his disciples. In 1870 the number had reached 672 days, and in 1900, 1,026 days. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. There is a growing demand at lucrative salaries in all sections of the country, and especially in the South, for young men train in agriculture. The demand for the graduates from this department of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is so far in excess of the supply that we are offering special inducements to graduates of other schools, and persons sufficiently advanced in the academic branches to come here and pursue the courses in agriculture, including practical farm work, dairying, livestock raising, etc. An opportunity will be given a few earnest young men to work out all of their board while taking a course.

The Denver District Conference and Sunday School Convention convened at Allen's A. M. E. church on Wednesday morning, June 12. The convention was greatly handicapped by the lack of interest shown by several of the churches, who did not send their delegates, and also sent in no reports or papers to the convention. There were delegates present representing Shorter's chapel Denver; Campbell and Ward Chapels, Denver, and Allen's Chapel, Cheyenne. Papers concerning church and missionary work were read and fully discussed by the delegates present, and a great deal of good was derived from the varied discussions. The business of the convention was attended to by the delegates in a manner that was not only a credit and an honor to themselves, but also an honor to the District Conference and Sunday School Convention. Rev. James Hubbard presided over the District Conference in a very able manner, and several times, because of the spirited discussions of the proceedings of the convention, was forced to call for order. The Sunday School convention was presided over by Mrs. Wade, the district superintendent. Mrs. Wade's loving manners and ability as a presiding officer won her the devotion of the convention, and she was unanimously elected district superintendent for the ensuing year. Miss Bernice Sanders, delegates from Ward's Chapel, was the secretary of the convention. Although she is but a child of thirteen years, Miss Sanders is a spirited church worker, which was shown in a paper she had prepared upon the subject of "Sunday Temptations." Miss Eva B. Jones, who was the delegate from Shorter's Chapel, and who scored among the leading members of the convention, filled the position of assistant secretary. On Thursday evening, June 13, the delegates were given 4 reception at Allen's A. M. B. church: A lengthy PAGE & Br no Fi cla 196 ½ tio P. ma De THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

After the program was finished delicious refreshments were served, and the remainder of the evening spent in becoming acquainted with the delegates. On Friday morning the business was closed and the District Conference and Sunday School Convention adjourned to meet at Shorter's Chapel next year. Some of the delegates returned to their homes on the afternoon trains, while others remained over until Saturday to take in the sights of Cheyenne and Fort Russell. EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M. Rev. Solly left Saturday evening for Santa Fe to hold services there, and while there he will be the kuest of Mrs. W. J. Slaughter. Children's Day, June 10th, was beautifully observed. Mrs. Carrol presided at the organ. The progran and drill were beautifully rendered by the children. The drill was led by Miss Edna Jefferson and Miss Margurite Logan. The children netted quite a neat little sum, $13.45. Mr. John Calloway has just returned from Denver on his way to Old Mexico and stopped over in Las Vegas for a few days. Mr. Denwitty is improving nicely. Mr. L. Brady, the only colored man in business for himself ,is well patronized. Mr. McGraw will lead Miss Queenie Hider to the alter on Thursday the 20th.

F. CLARK. PENS TO LAST FOREVER. Made of New Metal, They Are Practh cally Indestructible. One of the properties of tantalite, a new metal discovered in Germany not long ago, is that it can be utilized in the manufacture of a pen which will be practically everlasting. The metal is so hard that a diamond drill work- ing at the rate of 5,000 revolutions per minute, hardly makes an impression upon its surface, and {t can be rolled so thin that the pen will have all the desired resiliency This pen will therefore withstand &@ great amount of hard usage. It will really be a difficult thing to put it out of business. No character of ink will affect it; in fact, it will resist all chem- icals to a very deep degree. A company has been formed in Ger- many to make these pens and to en- gage in the manufacture of tools of different kinds. The process of pro- ducing this meta! in a perfectly pure state was discovered by Dr. Werner von Bolton, and his invention has made the material available. When the Dead Helped Trade. A Capt. Taylor. his wife and daugh- ter, of old Brig house, Englan2, were buried side by side, standing up in thelr graves Two hundred years ago it was the custom in England to keep an open coffin or chest in the parish church, for common use, to carry the dead to the graveyard in. The body was wrapped in coarse linen, and held to- gether with bone pins. A few years later an act was passed by parliament ordering that all bod- fes be wrapped in woolens instead of linens, in order to build up or foster the woolen industry, which was then in its infancy. The parish vicar was required to report that the burial took place in woolen according to the act.—The Sunday Magazine.

Fisherman Breaks the Record for One Line in a Day's Sport. To kill a deer and catch a trout at the same time out-Nirmods and out- Izaaks Walton. A fisherman has just done the trick on the Arrow lakes, says the Toronto Globe. The deer weighed 200 pounds and the trout ten. The fisherman was trolling for trout when several deer swam past his boat. One was an old buck and the man managed to catch hold of him as he Was going by. Having no gun, he tried to kill the animal with a claspknife. The buck objected so strenuously that he got away, swimming off with the fishing line upon his horns. The fisherman bailed out his boat and started in pur- suit. After two hours’ rowing he caught up with the deer and with oars and knife succeeded in slaying it. While the chase was proceeding a big trout got on the hook and after the deer was safely landed the fish was secured. It is quite a common occur- rence to see deer swimming in the lakes of British Columbia, but to cap- ture one and a trout at the same time is infrequent. WT TES BE - aS One Kind of Man.
