To the Public: We, the elders of the Presbyterian church, do hereby say to the public that it is a well known fact that ever since that we came from the A. M. E. church Rev. D. D. Cole and his followers have been criticised and yet through the help of God, we have come thus far. We have learned again that every knock is a boost. We as members of the People's Presbyterian church, have learned to quit knocking and gone to boosting, and therefore we stand ready to vindicate D. D. Cole as our pastor and boost him to the top. CHARLES HUNTER. Elders. By order of the Session Clerks: EMMA WILSON. --- FIVE CENTS A COPY The world is better than it was better and wiser. There is more charity, more rational religion, more money spent for moral, educational, charitable and humanly helpful purposes than ever before. The people as a whole, high and low, live better, have more comforts and conveniences and luxuries—are better housed, better clothed, better fed, better educated than their ancestors were. While this is an era of great development of wealth, the accumulation of great fortunes, the exploitations of many schemes of graft and greed, the people are not mere money worshipers. Dishonest men and worshipers of the golden calf have always existed. They are more quickly and ruthlessly exposed and condemned than ever before. The world is not growing worse. It is growing better. Senator Hoar was sane in his belief that "to-day is better than yesterday and that to-morrow will be better than to-day."—Nashville, Tenn., American How Monkeys Sleep. "Look at them," said the keeper softly. "A pretty sight, isn't it?" The rays of the lantern did not awaken the multitude of monkeys asleep in the great cage. They lay in a hundred attitudes. Here a slumbering mother held her slumbering baby in her arms; there a formidable male lay by himself in a cleared space; a fat monkey in a corner snored. Not one of these monkeys slept on his back. "Do you see?" said the keeper. "They lie on their sides, on their stomachs, every which way, but there isn't one a-lying on his back. There never is. No monkey ever was found sleeping on his back. Sometimes as I consider their intelligence and their manifold virtues it seems to me that the fact that monkeys never sleep on their backs is the chief difference between them and human beings." REMEMBERED IN HOME TOWN One Man at Least Had Not Forgotten Old Citizen. "There may be something in this going back to the old home, after long years of absence," remarked the pensive loking old man, "but I don't think I want any more of it." "You've tried it, eh?" was asked. "Only about a month ago. I used to live up in Connecticut. In fact, I taught school up there for two winters. After an absence of seventeen years the fit seized me to revisit the old place and gaze on the old familiar scenes once more. I thought over it for a week, and then got so homesick that I packed my grip and started off. I had only struck the village and began looking for changes when a lusty young man of 25 stopped me on the street and asked: "Isn't your name Bronson? "Yes, sir, that's my name." "Didn't you used to teach school here years ago?" "I did, and if you are one of my old pupils I shall be glad to shake hands with you." "I am one of your old pupils all right enough,' he said, 'but there'll be no shaking hands. I was a kid of 7 or 8 when you taught your last term, and on three different occasions you tanned my jacket when another boy was to blame. I swore to get even with you, and now the chance has come. Say, Bronson, I'm going to kick thunder out of you.'" THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. 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 on 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. NOTIFY US AT ONCE.

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.

As an example of what queer things come up at the London auctions: At the same sale appeared lately an apron, two armlets and other pieces used in devil-dancing ceremonies in Tibet, these objects being made up of bones belonging to deceased Lamas—they are carved with images of Buddha—a death's head made of lacquer, to be used as a mask for the devil dancer—and a contemporary death mask of Oliver Cromwell, in perfect condition. The mask taken from Noll's face brought $400; the devil's outfit $500. 1223 Nineteenth St., Denver. CITY OF NEW YORK PAGE 12. The above cut is the latest photograph of Madam C. J. Walker, the wonderful hair grower and scalp specialist of Denver, who is now in Louisville, Ky., after having spent eleven months in the various southern states, including Old Mexico. Madam Walker left Denver September 15th, in company with her husband to place her wonderful hair grower on the market in reach of the thousands who need it. Regardless of all opposition and the many obstacles that have been placed in her way, she has successfully overridden them and has achieved a greater success than has any other woman in her line. Madam Walker is a woman of whom the race should feel proud and especially the Negroes of Denver, as she was the first to bring hair growing to this part of the country. When she came here, two years ago and told the people she could grow hair, she was laughed at. Now it has become a recognized fact not only in Denver, but in nearly every state in the union, the proof of the worth of her goods is the present Western Star Lodge No. 128 at its meeting Tuesday night selected as its delegates to the State Grand Lodge, which meets August 31 at Colorado Springs, Tilford McAllister, G. R. Clingman and J. C. Jones. Miss Lillian Branch of Louisville, Ky., was the guest of honor at a dinner party given at the Rhine Cafe Monday evening. The host, Mr. John Conway had invited to meet Miss Branch some of the elite of the city and the event was in every way up to his reputation as an efficient and charming host. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. demand, which exceeds thirty gallons per day, which increase will necessitate her retiring from the road and establishing a factory for the manufacture of her goods in the very near future. Mr. and Madam Walker have met and been entertained by some of the best people of this country. They have had wonderful success, both financial and social. They were very royally entertained at Knoxville, the old home and birth place of Mr. Walker, and has been the guest of honor at three receptions given while in Louisville. They were also royally entertained on the eve of their departure from Dallas, Texas, by Mrs. Ella Noble and Miss Julia L. Caldwell, to which Dallas' most exclusive set was invited. If they succeed in the future as they have in the past, within a few years they will be numbered among the most wealthy Negroes in this country. To them luck, health and wealth. Address all communications to Madam C. J. Walker, 2310 Lawrence street. Mrs. Chas. Wilcks entertained last Friday afternoon in honor of her guests. Mrs. Watkins and Mrs. Richardson of Des Moines, by inviting a number of ladies to participate in a bonnet party. Aside from the usual features of an afternoon at home, there was the making of fashionable headwear from fancy paper. Several handsome designs were submitted. Mrs. Tony Bell was the best and won first prize, Mrs. Watkins second, Mrs. E. Morris third, and Mrs. Richardson was awarded the booby. Mesdames W. H. Brown, R. Frazier, N. Childs and Mr. W. Tasker went fishing to Barr last Saturday. Central church is pretty in its new decorations and its new pews. A finer interior is not in the west. The pastor and congregation are keeping onward now that they have left the mortgage days behind. Mrs. A. Vanders is sick. Mr. Vanders is conducting a nice shining parlor and refreshment emporium at 1840 Arapahoe street. Mrs. Thos. Glover and Mrs. Henry James of Wichita are coming to visit Mrs. Minnie Robinson. MANITQU, COLO. Mrs. Maria Nickens of Denver is spending a week with friends. Prof. J. G. Ish, principal of Caipital Hill high school, Little Rock, Ark., accompanied by his niece, Miss Marietta Kidd, arrived last Sunday to take in the sights around Pike's Peak. Mrs. J. P. Simpson and son Henry of Coffeyville, Kan., are in Manitou for the latter's health. Mrs. Victoria Head was called home to St. Louis Monday. Mrs. Head has spent two seasons with her aunt, Mrs. Hubbard, and expects to return in the spring with her daughter. Miss Viola Burley of Enjula, I. T., is a recent arrival. Mrs. Victoria Head chaperoned Misses Burley and Jones to the Half Way house August 4th. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Russull will spend the remainder of the season in Manitou. GRAND JUNCTION NOTES. Mrs. T. P. Langon and daughter Lottie, and Miss Bessie Price, left on Monday to visit the Jamestown exposition. Mrs. Millie Alexander has returned from Tonopah, Nev., after a lengthy stay of some months. She is still a Colorado booster, however. Mr. John Newman and young son have been on a three weeks' tour of the west. Mrs. Silvester Reed's small children have the scarlet fever. Miss Bertha Pitts of Montrose is in the city and has had the misfortune to be quarantined with her sister, Mrs. Reed. Quite a number of the elite plan to take in the Salt Lake excursion on the 15th. Did you hear about the big fish caught by the Hineses and others, last Sunday. For particulars ask Jim Harris. Mr. T. Herron's cleaning and dying parlors are doing a fine business. The Misses Newman have returned after several weeks' visit to Colorado Springs. They report a splendid time. Mrs. John Mapps will serve the big banquet of 400 people, during the session of the white Methodist conference the first week in September. Mrs. Thomas Fields was called to Denver owing to the severe illness of her mother. Mr. Muxro Miller spent the day in Glenwood Sunday. Madams Newman and Woodward are spending a week in Glenwood Springs. We yet have no church services in Grand Junction, although the population numbers over a hundred souls. DENVER CONCERN WINNING FAIR FAME ABROAD. Ever since the early nineties there have been Denver insurance concerns getting members outside of the state, and in many cases causing a blot t ofall upon Denver as a result of their inequitable adjustment of claims. One of the worst offenders in this line was the Great Western Accident Association, but which reorganized under another name. When there have been so many of these licensed free-booters preying on people it is a pleasure to find a concern like the Commonwealth Life, which gives every man protection insurance at the same rates and does not discriminate against colored people. They have just received the following letter with an application for insurance from a clergyman in Mt. Vernon, Ill. The letter speaks for itself: "Mt. Vernon, Ill. "Commonwealth Life Assn., Denver, Colorado: "Gentlemen—In making application to you for insurance I wish to explain at least in part my reasons. First, the good words you have from policy holders all over the country; second, the liberality of your insurance and the advancing money to members during disability. This is a new thing in accident insurance, and to me a splendid idea. I feel sure that we will meet with the same fairness as you have shown so many others. I am yours respectfully "N. T. LANE. "Pastor Corinthian Baptist Church, 417 Grand Ave." When our Denver insurance associations receive such letters as this it speaks most highly for their fair dealing. The Commonwealth Life has grown until it now numbers over one thousand members in Denver alone. This, in four years, shows what they are doing. We have lost our sister, our friend, And one of our commandent generals among the women of the town. One mother can say, "I have lost my right hand, Not of yesterday but my right hand of many long years. Many thanks to her friends who cov- ered her over with flowers, Decked her with garlands, that sister of ours; "Lying so silent by night and by day Sleeping the years of her womanhood away. Years she had marked for the joys of her friends, Years she must in the sloth of the grave. All the bright laurels she fought to make bloom, Fell to the earth when she went to the tomb." The spring time will come, and go; The rain will melt the frost and snow; Time will heal the wound that bleeds so fresh to-day. But the memory of that dear young sister's face, Time will never away. MRS. EMILY DANIELS, MRS. MATTIE ADAMS, MRS. JOHN W. BELL, MRS. GEO. C. SAMPLE BOISE, IDAHO. Mr. W. Bert Turner has been on the sick list for several days. Mrs. Rebecka Davis of Denver, arrived last week. Messrs. Bailey, Dudley and Pierce of the Dandy Dixie minstrel, were the guests of C. H. Wagner and mother. The home of Mr. Robert Gilmore was completely destroyed by fire. As there was no insurance everything was lost but Mr. Gilmore's trunk and sewing machine. J. H. Watson is contemplating a trip through the mountains hunting and fishing. Mr. P. A. Samuels and Mr. C. R. Herrin were among the sick last week, owing to the intense hot weather. Mr. C. H. Wagner met with a painful accident last week by sticking a tack in his hand, that had to be lanced. Rev. Carpenter is meeting with great success with the St. Paul Baptist church. There were two additions Sunday. The Paul Lawrence Dunbar club is meeting with great success. It organized with a membership of nine two weeks ago and now the membership is 25. But with such a person as assistant supervisor as Little Charley we could except nothing but success. The program for the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Lyceum this week will be a debate between Mr. Sassett and Mrs. E. D. Washington, "Resolved, That woman's intellects are weaker than man's." Mrs. Washington the negative. Mr. Gilmore and family had retired at an early hour last Monday evening, but were awakened by friends, who had met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Brown, in the way of a donation surprise party. They proceeded to the home with lighted candles, which made a beautiful scene. Rev. Carpenter read a paper on "Charity." Ice cream and cake were served. PUEBLO NEWS. Mrs. Vondickerson of Denver, Colo., is in the city visiting her brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Holly. The A. M. E. Sunday school picniced at Fairmount Grove Thursday and was well attended. The entertainment given by Mrs. Dale for St. John church was quite a success and showed considerable talent on the part of the participants. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Williams' little son Clarence is slowly recovering from a serious case of peritonitis. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Buford have returned to Pueblo and have moved in their beautiful home on South Santa Fe street. Rev. Overs, pastor of the Eighth street Baptist church, has begun work on the new church. The members of St. John church are making strenuous efforts to raise Rev. Owens' salary before Conference. Mrs. Lissie Maloney returned from a visit to Creede, Colo. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. The Odd Fellows will give a grand excursion and picnic in the near future. Mrs. H. W. Freeman and daughter Florence returned from a visit to Salida. Mrs. Freeman is much improved in health. Rev. Owens was granted a vacation of 14 days before Conference from St. John's church. The members and friends are looking forward to his return on his fifth year, so now to encourage him to return pay him your dollar money. GREAT FALLS, MONT. Mr. Banks, who underwent an operation, is very low at this writing. His recovery is doubtful. Rev. J. H. Hubbard, presiding elder; our pastor, Rev. J. H. C. Redd, and Montana missionary, Mrs. H. E. Redd, have arrived from Havre after a week's labor, to hold the fourth quarterly meeting at Union Bethel chapel. They report a flourishing church at Havre. Mrs. Pauline Baker has returned from Havre and will soon return to make that place her home. We regret to lose her, but our loss is Havre's gain. Mrs. Dan Johnson is moving to Havre. That place seems to be the magnet of Montana. J. W. Roberson, our dairyman, has more work than he can do with three wagons. He has to work at night. This speaks well as a business. Rev. Redd and wife are looking for their son, P. C. Redd, from Omaha this week. It looks as if they will return to us for another year. September 1 is rally day. J. McCracken, T. W. Taylor, Ed Lines, Mrs. Layda Roberson and John Gainey are aiming to raise three hundred dollars for that day. We have paid in our five and will take a paper. Our pastor must go to Conference right. Let us all do our part. As the authorized agent has returned we have turned over the work that was left in our hands temporarily in their absence. A few did not pay us on our call. Please do so. Rev. J. H. Hubbard leaves Tuesday for Billings and then to Denver. Mrs. Henretta Johnson is repaint ing her home. Mr. Sam Porter is planning for improvements on his place. Mr. Peter Anderson has opened up a neat little barber shop on First Avenue South. CARRY WITH COMMONWEALTH LET OTHERS ALONE. To the Editor of The Statesman: I wish to express through the columns of your paper my thanks for the courteous and liberal treatment I have received from the Commonwealth Life. There are many sick and accident insurances on the market, but the Commonwealth combines stability with honesty and fair treatment. My advice to everyone is to insure with the Commonwealth and let all these others alone. Yours respectfully. MRS.

I notice the bills promised a great scenic production, and all that." "Ps-s-s-st! Come here!" hissed the landlord of the tavern at Polkville, Ark. Hooking a forefinger through a buttonhole in his guest's raiment, he led the astonished man off from the porch, out across the yard and around behind the smokehouse. "Ps-s-s-st That's what they called it, on paper—'a scenic production'—but my wife (she ain't anywhere around within hearin') said—you know how women are, that-a-way, ee-specially the best but kind o' skinny ones; wife, when she seen the chorus in tights—well, from the way she acted then and what she's said to me 'most ever since, I sorter surmise that she considered it an obscenic production."—San Francisco Call. QUIET LIVES OF IRISH WOMEN. Absence of Worry Said to Tend to Preserve Youth. "The Irish women never worry," said a woman who has mixed much in the upper circles of the little green isle. "Therefore they preserve their youth better than the women of any other nation. A peculiar type of personality has been left in Ireland. England and America have drained off the progressive and hustling, England from the upper classes, America from the lower. Those who are left are of a placid, contented type, from whom the restlessness of present-day civilization seems far removed. The dullness of the life led by the average well-born Irish girl would be pathetic if it were not that she seems to thrive so well on it. Year after year she follows the same monotonous round, meeting the same people at tennis in summer or hockey matches in winter. If her home is in a hunting district, no matter at how low an ebb the family finances may be, they will manage to give her a good mount. But for girls who do not hunt, the long, wet winter, with few neighbors and few books, passes almost as drearily as in a medieval castle." No Wonder Bateman Was Able to "Line Them Out." In one of the smaller baseball leagues there was a player known throughout the league for his batting ability, and, strange to say, he hardly ever faced a pitcher when not, more or less, under the influence of liquor. This caused much comment among the "fans," and one day, after he had won a close and exciting game by one of the longest hits ever seen on the grounds, while he was so intoxicated that he could not stand before the pitcher without swaying from side to side, one of them was prompted by curiosity (for they know that it was not altogether a "lucky" hit, as he had done the same thing on several other occasions) to ask, "How is it you can bat so well when you can hardly stand on your legs?" "Well," the player said, "I'll tell you. When the pitcher delivers the ball to me I can see about half a dozen of them, and if I can't hit one of them I'm not much good, am I?" THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Love for the Old Home. Mankind is nomadic, and while the sweetest poetry in the language is inspired by the old home, the monumental work in the world has been accomplished in the main by those who left the parental roof to pursue elsewhere the quest for fortune, fame and high success. Nevertheless the love for the old home abides. The reunion of those who remain and those who have departed is an occasion that will stir the pulse of any community in which such a soulful event takes place. The pretty announcement was made by a newspaper in a little New England town which was about to celebrate its old home week that "the Jones boys have arrived and Charles will preach in the Presbyterian church on Sunday." A little waif of news like that revives old times and pays for all the preparation of "old home week."—Philadelphia Ledger. Bad Spell. Little Marlon was invited with her mother to dine at the house of a very proper friend, and, wishing her to appear at her best, her mother told her beforehand that she must not make unfavorable remaka about anything on the table. Marion remembered her instructions well until she tasted her dessert, and then, leaning across the table towards her mother, in a very audible whisper she spelled, after the manner that she had heard grown people spell when she was not intended to understand, "Mama—b-f-i—sour pie,"—Lippincott's Magazine. LESSONS TAKEN FROM NATURE Ideas Not All Original in the Brains of Inventors. "We get our hints from nature," the inventor said. "Take, for instance, the hollow pillar, which is stronger than the solid one. The wheat straw showed us the superior strength of the hollow pillar. Solid, the wheat straw would be unable to support its head of grain. "Where did man get his idea for carriage springs? From the hoofs of the horse, which, like the springs derived from them, are made from parallel plates. "Scissors we got from the jaws of the tortoise, which are natural scissors; chisels from the squirrel, who carries them in his mouth; adzes from the hippopotamus, whose ivories are adzes of the best design; the plane from the bee's jaws; the trip hammer from the woodpecker." Recipe for a World. Take one man, a woman and a garden. Add an apple and a good fresh snake. Stir gently until the pot begins to boil, then drain off the apple, and keep adding children. Simmer on a slow fire, then put on ice. Alternate between the two extremes, giving the whole a good, sound basting when needed, turning slowly in a proper space. Keep adding time until the mass is of the consistency of a mud pie covered with ants. Multiply the inhabitants and garnish with villages, towns, cities and empires. Now introduce a little theology and enough devil sauce to spice. Keep adding battle, murder, sudden death and a good layer of cant. Put plenty of salt in the water and sprinkle with bad society. When your world is finished throw it in the fire and begin all over again.—Leesburg (Ohio) Buckeye.

LONG Renote and Retrimmed DENVER PAGE 2 A Worthy Man Gone. Alfred Duvall passed from labor to reward Thursday morning, June 20. Mr. Duvall was an honest and upright citizen and highly respected by all who knew him. He lived in Las Vegas, N. M., for twenty-three years during which time he was engaged in the restaurant business at which he was very successful. He arrived in this city in March from Boley, I. T. At that place he was engaged in the lumber business and was doing nicely, but owing to his health, which was fastly falling, he came to this city in the hope of regaining his health. He was happily converted and baptized by Presiding Elder Watson. At times it seemed as though he was improving, then again his condition seemed doubtful, and on Thursday morning he laid down his cross and took up his crown and entered into that land "No mortal eye hath ever seen the glories of that land beyond the river. Its crystal seas and unchanging scenes around the throne forever." He leaves to mourn his loss a loving and devoted wife, a brother and a host of friends. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Miss Monica Houston, one of our prettiest and most accomplished young ladies of our city, who ranked as one of our leading society bells and was a welcome guest into the homes of our best families and social circles, has suddenly shocked the whole community and disgusted her closest friends by her unwarranted actions in marrying a degraded white man, much her inferior in intelligence and social standing. Their ages were anything but equal. Monica's age was 18 years, Ed Dapise's age was 65 years. Why this beautiful colored girl chose such a husband is more than her parents or friends can understand. The wedding took place about a month ago by a priest, but was kept a secret until a short time ago. Efforts have been made to separate them, but the girl wife would not leave her aged spouse. Miss Yolo Black, one of our recent university graduates in music, left Thursday for Quincy, Ill., and Louisville, Ky., to visit friends and relatives. She will return to Quincy to enroll for the season at the Conservatory of Music. The A. M. E. church Sunday school gave a basket picnic Monday. The little tots were chaperoned by their superintendent, Miss Annita Jasper. They all had a nice time at the Berales picnic grounds. Mrs. A. B. Montgomery departed Thursday for Topeka, where she will spend six weeks with her parents. J. R. Coleman is out again after a serious illness with a sprained ankle. Mrs. B. H. Haynes, a recent guest of Mrs. T. Watson, left Wednesday for Santa Barbara, Cal. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD. Rev. J. P. Watson, the efficient presiding elder, was tendered a grand reception at A. M. E. church Tuesday evening under the management of the ladies of the church. Rev. Jones and Rev. W. T. Thornton made some excellent remarks. Rev. Watson's response was much appreciated. Nice refreshments were served. A carload of colored people passed through the city en route to Williams, Ariz. This makes three carloads that have passed through within the last two weeks. They are from Missouri and will be used for track work by the Santa Fe Railroad company. LARAMIE, WYOMING. It was with deep regret that we learned of the death of Mr. James Banks, a former resident of this city. His loss is mourned by a host of friends. Messrs. Crumley and MacDowell have returned from Cheyenne where they went to see Ringling Bros.' circus. William Page has returned from Cheyenne. Everett Bruce is in the city. Mrs. Gertrude Stuart has gone to Denver to be gone a short while. HAVRE, MONT. Rev. J. H. C. Redd and Rev. J. H. Hubbard, presiding elder, arrived here Tuesday morning Elder Hubbard was much pleased with the improvements of the church. He predicted a "bright future" for the town as well as the church. The people seem to be encouraged to go on. Mrs. E. V. Lawson received the sad intelligence of the death of her son-in-law of Vig. We extend our sympathy to her and her family. Mrs. S.

THE DEGENERATE OF TRINIDAD Last Sunday the following members Mrs. Kittie Smith, Miss Lillian Garth, Cora Blackwood and Georgia Seymore were baptized at the Central Park lake by Rev. Alexander Wagner. After the baptism was over a white man secured the key opening the monkey's cage and taking the little animal from the cage baptized it in the lake. Then to imitate the minister and members as much as possible, shook hands with the monkey, congratulating it and saying both apes and monkeys should enter heaven. This was a great delight to the whites. I would say to the people of this city, of all classes, Christians or not, is there no other place in this city where you can spend your money with out spending it with such a class of low bred whites? Was not that Las Animas river large or long enough to serve such a purpose? Was it possible that you had to be made the laughing stock for the whites? CORRESPONDENT. BIG BARBECUE.

Hall and Spates gaye one of the most peculiar receptions that has been given in this part of the country for a long time. The guests of honor were Mesdames Chaney, C. A. Pilgrim, now of Cripple Creek, and Miss Johnson, all from Missouri. The motto of the state in the state's colors was planted above the door so that all the guests would recognize the dignity and importance of the occasion. All music played was played by Missouri people in a Missouri way. The refreshments were served by a little "Missouri girl," assisted by a "Kansas Jayhawker." The games in which nearly all participated were intensely Missourian. And when the small hours in the morning came, the happy crowd were very reluctant about leaving and only left full of "Missouri." Prominent among the guests were Miss Mercer, niece of Prof. McGruder, Mesdames. Atwell Rose, Lula Hall and Rose, Miss Susie Hall, also Prof. McGruder, Messrs. Hall, Vaughn, Dr. J. A. Harper, Prof. Albert and Attorney Ross. As a momento of this event little souvenirs were given which bore this inscription: "I've ben showed by Missourians." RHODES AGAIN To the U. B. F. and S. M. T. and Juveniles of Colorado and her Jurisdiction: Studying the interest of our grand old order in all its phases, that is alotted to secret orders, I find it inexpedient to call a second state session. It may be that you have been notified that there would be a grand lodge session in Colorado Springs, in August. This notification, no doubt, was done through a mistake and without the signature of the S. G. M. seal. Knowing that no one lives without making a mistake, I openly and freely call it one. Now, Saturday, August 31st, 1907, there will be a state executive board meeting held in Colorado Springs in the U. B. F. hall, to which Mr. Emmet V. Cammell, state secretary, will notify each member that makes up the state executive board. W. R. RHODES. S. G. M. MRS.T.D.PERKINS SCIENTIFIC Scalp Specialist FALLING HAIR STOPPED. DANDRUFF CURED.

Ev ery night the minister repeats some thing funny, and the minister repeats one prayer as a sample of all: “Our Father, who art in heaven, hal- lowed by thy name; thy kingdom come, on earth as !t is in heaven. No Lord, that ain't right, I made a mis take.” Then he starts again and re peats the prayer, continuing: “Lord, bless papa*aad mamma ‘end don’t Jet mamma whip me any mofe as she did to-day, ‘cause I'm too young to die, and bless’ Aunt Mamie and Unele Frank, and Frank my ownself, aad tf I forgot anybody, bless them, ‘cause, mamma, I'm so sleepy. I!—for—got—to—say— amen,” and the bright little eyes close before the mother tucks the youngnter ender the covers.—Columbus [ispaich. POET POURS FORTH HIS Waxes Eloquent Over Simple Rising of the Moon. This is how a flowery descriptive writer “piles {t up” in dealing with the rising of the moon: “Brighter grew the relumed orient as up behind the slowly-drifting cloud- mountains fair Sclene drove her royal train, till now the deepened border of every peak and crag. gilded and bur- wished with aureate beauty, towered out in rosy outline againet the bount- less perapective of occidental space. Up, up moved the gorgeous proceiiijon, while the constellations grew dim and the stars turned pale and, vanishing to their dismal homes, !eft no blushing rivalry to vie with the fair, sweet face of the beautiful night queen. Now beaming with the full and radiant gaze of conscious purity the chaste, wan- dering princess of the akies serenely emiled down upon the dreaming Farth as through unclouded grandeur she rolled her roya! chariot Bigher up the ethorea] realms of sight.”—Losdaa Aagswers.

The Mearness of the national campaign makes the oe of any “1 der” Momentous and the dresg diapitehes are the vehicle of protests of varying degrees of good sense and honesty o. purpose. The serious position whicn our race occupies, now that it is just gaining a foothold, seems not at all to check the blatant idiocy of seekers after notoriety and jobs. It is now of all times that safe and sane leadership is needed, leadership of the kind that is practical and not merely idealist. A hundred com- plaints can be justly urged but what's the use? One plece of constructive statesmanship Is worth a world of ad- vice and complaint. It is a pleasure to know that the men upon whom the race relies for leadership are measur- ing up to their opportunity. Especi- ally is the west rejoicing. Some months ago through presidential ap- pointment Prof. Vernon of Kansas was called to Washington to fill one of the greatest positions yet accorded a Ne- gro. He has made good. He has been accepted into the small number of efficient leaders as a blood brother. With no display, but with dilligent attention to his work and courageous defense of our rights, with shrewd pro- posals for our advancement, he is com- mending himself to the administra- tion, anu to us as a safe and sane leader. And so with others. The men who rule now among us need judgment above all things and are not scream- ing platitudes through printers ink. We need less noise and more work. PREVENTION BEFORE” CURE (Special VUorrespondence.? Ben Tillman spoke at Boulder July 27th and sputtered his poisonous doctrines at the Chautauqua of that city, to the disgust and shame of the educated and responsible people of that college community. The writer went to Boulder the fol- lowing Tuesday to set up the negro’s platform of “All men up and no man down, lifting as we climb,.” in oppo sition to Tillman's platform of “The white man up, and the negro down. i The Dally Camera of Boulder gave our work prominent space and men- tion, An a result of Ben Tillman's trip our race stands stronger and better today among the best white people in that city. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Why help pay big rent? We save you 2O per cent on uptown prices CLEMENTS TAILOR (1523 16TH ST. Near Blake We made some ae as to hon such a disgusting character was eve: poviteg and paid,to insult, and disgrace the fnnoc&@nt ame good people of thi: State University town, with all of its professors and distinguished educa- tors. We learned a little, and kept unraveling and unraveling this stuze of affairs: that there is a studied plan, a secret and silent scheme of the political leaders of the South iw Southernize the public sentiment of the North and West, and make the young white man of this section rather hate and hinder the negro than to help him as heretofore. That Southern men who have entered busi- ness in the North are working in har. mony with this plan, and are uiling the white pulpits in these places with Southern ministers, putting Southern teachers in the public schools, e:- ploying Southern men to write the news of the dally papers, and are directing the Chautauqua and bring ing this class of speakers in to “edu- cate the North” in further huniiliat- ing the negro and keeping him down in all the walks of life, The revelation of affairs fairly daz zled us, and made us open our @ye3 to the real situation right here in Colo- rado. Now we can account for the coldness shown a negro who visits a white church, the harrassing of negro students in the public schools, the dis- crimination in labor unions, and the bitter attacks and humiliating articles of reporters and editors on some daily newspapers, and the degeneration ct some Chautauquas in the class of speakers, and in the ideals set up be- fore the people. However, there is no reason :o de- Spair. Thege gopeitions are “milling out” real s for the negro, who will write and work and “go the full length” to see him better his condi- tion In life. Nothing is so sure of ultimate failure as wrong and iujus. tice. Let the negroes of Colorado wake up to this state of affairs, and get together and stay together to withstand the increasing prejudice and every iniquity being done to dis- credit us in this state of Colorado. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. VISITORS TO DENVER Will appreciate the cleanliness the expert rate ee ORAN C. GOENS' BARBER SHOP 1226 EIGHTEENTH ST. Newly Fitted Out.
