CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER Picnic BLOOMFIELD PARK Aug.20 NEWPOSITIONMADE Republican Party Honors Colored Supporters by Appointing Thomas Campbell Messenger to the Governor Contrary and Takes Away the Places Given as Election Day Bait NINETEENTH YEAR CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER NEW POSITI Republican Party Honors Appointing Thomas C to the Democratic Party in the Contrary and Takes Given as Elec The Republican party of the state of Colorado has vindicated the hopes of its colored supporters. A little over two years ago for the first time in the history of the state a position above that of janitor was given us when Mrs. Ida DePriest was made clerk in the office of the secretary of state. Now comes the announcement that Thomas Campbell who has been at the Republican Club, is to be the messenger for the governor. Just how much this appointment means can be seen by comparison. For nearly thirty years we had not one such position. Now after having one for two years, through the Grand Old Party we have won the second. There has been quietly working a sentiment among the leaders of the party that the honest and faithful allegiance of the colored Republican should be rewarded and this is one of the fruits. The chairman of the state central committee, John Vivian, the executive committee which constitutes his advisory board, the governor and all the influences which shape the party in this state are with us. A fair apportionment of the benefits in this state from politics is no longer an idle dream. Best of all is the fact that this place in the office of the chief executive is given us at such a time and in such a way that it is patent that merit has won out. We ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLO., FRIDAY AUGTST 16, 1907 congratulate the party; we congratulate Mr. Campbell that he has been thought worthy of a place requiring so much tact and reliability, to say nothing of the implied compliment to him as a representative of the Negro Republicans. Contrast this splendid action of the Republican party of this state with the Democratic machine in Pueblo county where the colored voters have so often assisted it to success. A few months ago when the campaign was on the streets were patrolled by several colored officers, the sunlight of official benediction rested upon various efforts among our people. But time changes all things. Every negro has been discharged from the positions held under the Democratic party in Pueblo. Licensed businesses are harassed by iniquitous restrictions above those put upon whites in similar lines. And only such Negroes enter their temple of Baal as are stool pigeons for the authorities and earn a precarious freedom by "snitching." The Republican party of the state is aiding the colored Coloradoan to stand upright as a man. The Democratic party of Pueblo county, forgetful of its colored adherents at various times, is thrusting us further and further down. Comparisons are odious, but sometimes they serve to show who are our friends. GRAND LODGE IN SESSION The 31st grand session of the Masons of Colorado and jurisdiction convened here Monday and continued Tuesday and Wednesday at 1712 Curtis street. Grand Master P. H. Gipson, of Pueblo, presided. The routine business was conducted amid much harmony. The only appeal to be presented was that of C. R. Robinson, who is under suspension and, as in former years, it was denied. The reports of the secretary and treasurer and trustees gave a better financial standing than heretofore, notwithstanding that there has been 12 deaths, a greater number than at any PETER E. C. TUMLIN. time past. Yet so far has system and economy brought the grand lodge out of financial straits, that all bills were paid with ease and the future left bright and promising. The reports of the grand master as embodied in his address received earnest attention and much praise. So that both in the money, the numbers and the morale, the Masonic fraternity is outstripping all its former records in the West. The meeting was preceded Sunday night by a public lodge of sorrow held at Shorter church, which was witnessed by a packed church. The memory of the dead was revered and suitable ritualistic ceremony ob- ug.20 served. The second appearance of the grand lodge in public was at East Turner Hall Tuesday night when as guest of the two local lodges, they met the people of Denver in a very enjoyable public reception. The Harris orchestra furnished music which together with several numbers by local artists, filled out a fine musical evening. On Wednesday the grand lodge concluded its labors by installing as its officers for the ensuing year: E. C. Tumlin, of Denver, grand master. W. D. Powell, of Salt Lake, deputy grand master. S. N. Nelson, of Pueblo, senior grand warden. Harry Jones, of Denver, junior grand warden. J. R. Contee, of Denver, grand treasurer. Wm. Sprague, of Denver, grand secretary. P. J. Barnard, of Denver, grand trustee. The appointive officers were: C. B. Hill, of Denver, grand lecturer. J. F. Curtis, of Colorado Springs, grand chaplain. J. P. Langon, of Grand Junction, grand senior deacon. R. H. Kerford, grand junior deacon. J. A. Ashby, of Pueblo, grand senior steward. J. N. Early, of Denver, grand junior steward. R. O. Johnson, of Denver, grand marshal. Wm. O'Bryant, of Denver, grand prusuviant. J. M. Hunt, of Hanna, Wyo., grand sword bearer. P. E. Spratlin, of Denver, grand orator. A. J.

The mask taken from Noll's face brought $400; the devil's outfit $500. 1223 Nineteenth St., Denver. PAGE 12 TRINIDAD ITEMS. In the last issue of the Statesman there appeared an article written by some one who evidently did not know what they were talking about to the effect that the baptising held at Central Park was made fun of by white people with a monkey. After much investigation it appears that the whole story is false. The monkey was given a bath in the lake but this is done every Sunday and no reflection was cast upon the services. The river was the place first selected for these sacred rites but a cloudburst rendered the water unfit. This was the reason it was held at the park. Less than a dozen white people witnessed the ceremony. Mrs. H. Daniels has returned from a three-weeks' visit to Denver. She returns much benefited in health by her vacation. Miss Ida Scott is seriously ill. Mrs. Douglass, who has been visiting her sister on Baca street, returned to her home in Dallas, Texas, last week.

All pastors and their congregations are requested to be present. J. H. BROWN. Pastor. Microphone as Fire Damp Detector. The fire damp detector of M. Hardy, a Frenchman, is an ingenious application of the microphone. Two pipes of equal pitch, one in the mine and the other above ground, are sounded simultaneously, and the sound waves impinge on microphones connected in series with a telephone. If both pipes are in pure air a clear note is heard in the telephone. If the pipes are in air of different density beats are heard, and these give warning of the presence of fire damp in the mine. The Making of Fame. Nervitt — That's McSlugger, the champion pugilist. He's enjoying his new laurels. Ascum—Woke up one morning and found himself famous, sh? Nervitt—Yes, because he had put his opponent to sleep the night before. Frequently the Game. Bowles—Surely no one questions that character covers a multitude of sins. Thomas—I think not; and one might truthfully add that it not infrequently exposes a great number of sinners.—Smart Sut. Immense Seam of Coal. A clipping from an English newspaper, furnished by Consul E. B. Walker, of Burslem, says that a seam of coal 24 feet thick has been reached at a depth of 580 yards in South Staffordshire. Honest Man's Excuse. "Yes," said the honest dealer, heading up the barrel of apples he had just packed, "there's always room at the top. That's why I generally put the biggest ones in the top row." Good Battery. A Philadelphia girl who was married the other day admits she was attracted by the young man's baseball pitching. Good combination. He was the pitcher, she the catcher. Creditable. It is a credit to America's scientific spirit that money can be found to finance a polar expedition instead of being invested in a trust nearer home. Such a Silly Idea. "Lingerie waists should be squeezed and not rubbed," says a magazine writer. Tut, tut. Who'd care about rubbing one if he could squeeze it? What He Wanted. "Papa," said Jimmieboy, as he watched the new canary with much interest, "when the bird dies can I have his whistle?" Parchment from Wolf Skins. It is not generally known that the parchment used on the best banjos is made from wolf skins. Sweet Alvysum. No white plant makes so charming a border as the Little Gem alyssum. It is charming for edgings, baskets, pots, rock work and for cutting. The seeds may be sown in the open early in the spring or even late in the preceding autumn. It can also be started in pots in the house. For borders the seed should be sown thickly to form masses. Cutting back after the first flowers fade strengthens new growth. --- His Frank Criticism. My two little nephews, seven and 11 years old, often come to see me, the latter always bringing his violin to let me hear his efforts at playing, says a correspondent. I am not at all fond of amateur playing on the violin, and so was more than amused when Francis, the younger, called out one day when John was playing: "Hi, hum, diddle, the cat's in your fiddle and no mistake." In Grip's Deadly Wake. Persons of advanced years especially should guard against the grip. With them it is likely to attack the heart. The most ordinary cases, in persons of all ages, sometimes develop into appendicitis, neuritis, pneumonia or bronchitis. Medical scientists have only just convinced themselves of its close relationship to those diseases. There's a Difference. Patch by patch is good housewifery, but patch upon patch is plain beggary. Success Explained. It takes a lot of good luck to enable some men to reach the top. Get Rid of Them. Sins and debts are always more than we think them to be. Metals in Bad Odor. A German scientist has just declared that every metal has its characteristic odor. Not every one can detect the odor of cold tin, copper or aluminum, but when pieces of such metals are heated to a moderate degree they give off strong smells, distinguishable by anybody. At higher temperatures metals lose all trace of smell, but again give off an odor on being heated after a lapse of several hours in a cold state. Colored silver and gold often have a suspicious taint. Sunken Funds Recovered. Some idea of the work done by submarine divers in recovering treasure from sunken ships can be gotten from the following figures just published: From the steamship Malabar was recovered more than $1,250,000; from the steamship Alphonso XII., $450,000; from the steamship Hamilla Mitchell, $250,000, and from the steamship Carnatic, $200,000. The complete list is long, but these figures from Popular Mechanics give an idea of the enormous value of the treasures which the greedy waves have swallowed and the inducement to invest large capital, construct ingenious and expensive machinery, and run great risks in raising "watered" stock. Camphor to Whiten Skin. A little camphor applied to a wet cloth will whiten the skin, but it should be used sparingly, with a cream afterward. A few drops put into lukewarm water and applied with a sponge after one has come in from an outdoor trip is extremely refreshing. Economical Governor. Gov. Stokes, of New Jersey, is cutting down extravagant appropriations. He thinks his state spends too much for memorials and has disapproved of an $8,000 item for removing the remains of Gen. Phil Kearny and providing monuments. PUEBLO, COLO. Two of Topeka's most charming young ladies are the guests of Miss Navinni Harrison this week, Miss Mary Jordan and Gertrude Solomon.

"Under the title "Rome in Africa," Mrs. Aubrey le Blond has an illustrated article in "Good Words" on the Algerian Pompeii at Lambessa and Timgad. What we owe to Vesuvius in covering up the city of Pompeii and saving it from the gradual but complete destruction which all cities constantly inhabited and renewed must suffer, this we owe to the burning and forsaking of Timgad, which have left to us an entire town of the time of the Romans with its life and history plainly writ in stone. When the French government has completed its work of excavation it seems probable that Timgad will be the most perfect specimen of a Roman colonial city to which all travelers, interested in the life of two thousand years ago, will look for a magnificent lesson.

The woman who boasts that she never sleeps well has many reasons at her tongue's end, and nobody dares dispute them. There is one woman is particular who has no family, and spends her life in traveling and visiting. She therefore has an opportunity to test all sorts of places. "I can't sleep in New York on account of the elevated trains that run within a block of Cousin James' house," she explained to a friend one day, "and in Philadelphia there is an electric light that shines from the corner right on my bedroom wall, and I never wish to have blinds closed. "In Boston my friends live on a street through which the milk carts come very early. "In Washington, at the Duncans' there's a dog, and he's liable to bark at any time, so I keep expecting to hear him, even when he doesn't. In Buffalo, at Henry's, there's a cuckoo clock that keeps waking me up. When I'm with the Salisburys I just lie and listen to the sea booning and splashing all night long. And at dear Anna's, of course, there are babies." "I should think you'd love to go out to the Henderson's," said the sympathetic friend. "Right in the woods, and no farm animals, like hens or anything to disturb you." "The Hendersons'!" and the sufferer from inscantia raised her eyes to heaven. "I'y dear, I tried it once, and the quiet was so fearful! I never closed my eyes till daylight!"—Youth's Companion. The Fighting Chaplain. Colonel Charles W. Larned was talking at West Point about a famous and venerable army chaplain. "A braver and more upright man never lived," Col. Larned said. "During the civil war he was in the thick of many a fierce engagement. He comforted the wounded, cheered on the brave, and put new spirit into the faint-hearted. "He was once distributing cartridges in the midst of a hot fight. As he approached a certain company he heard a black-bearded private swearing at the enemy. "Blank them!" the man was saying. 'Dash blank the——' "But the chaplain interrupted this stream of blasphemy. "You shouldn't speak like that, friend,' he said. "Then he handed the man a packet of cartridges, adding: "Don't curse them. Shoot them, shoot them.'"—Buffalo Engquirer. Fritz Wanted to Know. Fritz was the meekest looking office boy that ever put glue on a bookkeeper's stool. He worked for a lawyer, and one day the lawyer had a woman client, whose brute of a husband had beaten her and for whom he filed suit for divorce. A week later the husband, 6 feet tall and broad in proportion, came into the office drunk, announcing his intention of whipping every one there. Every one was too busy, to see him and he was left to Fritz. Fritz held conversation with the man and listened to his troubles. Finally he man declared loudly: "I've buried three wives, two of them in this county." "What county buried the other one." required Fritz. 1625 CHAMPA STREET COLORADO OFFICES DENVER, COLO. W. C.

Be not discouraged with your work, neither with your life. No work faithfully done has ever been wasted and no life truly lived has ever failed. You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.—Henry Drummond. Idle Waiting. This setting down and folding our arms and waiting for sumthing tew turn up iz just about az rich a pekulashun az going out into a 400-acre lot, setting down on a sharp stone with a pall between our knees and waiting for a cow tew back up and be milked.—Josh Billings. Direct Light Cheapest. Reflected light is wasteful. In a recent test by Dr. Reibmayr both electric glow lamps and incandescent gas burners were used, and when the light was directed to the ceiling and reflected the illumination was 31 per cent less than when directed downward from close to the ceiling. R. F. D. in Old Japan. A long time before America was discovered Japan had its banks, clearing house, and Europe's supposedly modern system of checks, drafts, letters of credit and notes. The country also had a thorough rural delivery postal system before Columbus crossed the Atlantic. An island Magnet. The Island of Bornholm, situated in the Baltic, acts as a huge magnet. It exerts such an influence on the compass that it can cause a vessel to turn perceptibly aside from its course. The effect of this magnet is perceptible at a distance of 9 1/2 miles. When Parliament Was Busy In the long history of Parliament there are several instances of sittings of the House of Commons on Christmas day. But there is only one of a division on that day.

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 wail of news like that revives old times and pays for all the preparation of "old home week."—Philadelphia Ledger. ```markdown ``` --- Take one man, a woman and a garden.

Dear Editor:—Allow a space in your valuable paper for just a word from Salt Lake: The city is a prosperous one, affording many good opportunities for our people. The churches are doing nicely here. The Baptist church, under the leadership of Rev. J. H. Allen, had a rally July 21, and raised $438.75. The A. M. E. church, pastored by Rev. J. C. Bell, had a rally August 4 and raised $876.97. Both pastors are quite influential and energetic. Rev. J. C. Bell has done more for Salt Lake in church work than any minister that has ever been here. We are now rejoicing over a new church at a cost of $6,000 through his strenuous efforts. May God bless him that he might live long to do much good. The people of Salt Lake feel that his return to this work another year means a greater victory. The wives of the two pastors are aimable and benevolent and deserve a special mention for the way they have assisted their husbands in promoting this work. Many have purchased homes. Rev. F. J. Peck of Allen Chapel, Kansas City Mo., was through here and stopped over a couple of hours, sight seeing with Rev. Bell. He expressed himself much pleased with the city of Salt Lake.

ENDEARING TERMS LONG KNOWN Antiquity of Affectionate Diminutives for Parents. German chauvinism pezetrates everywhere nowadays. Some earnest Teutons have started the idea that German children must drop the words "Mama" and "Papa" in favor of "Mutter" (mother) and "Vater" (father). "How," say they, "can anybody prefer the unmeaning 'Mama' to the deep and impressive 'Mutter'? Nothing can replace for a German the word 'Mutter,' certainly not the French 'Mama.'" A certain philologist, however, asks how it can be suggested that the word "Mama" is derived from the French, seeing that it is probably to be found in all languages of the world. In the numerous dialects of Africa and in India the word for mother is "Mama," which is given as a title of honor to every elderly dame deserving of esteem and respect. "Mama" and "Papa" (Baba) are so generally used in all parts of the world that they probably date back some thousands of years. DANGER IN SNAKE BITE REMEDV Was Almost as Fatal as Poison and Nearly Killed the User. After the unlimited use of whisky as an antidote for the bite of a copperhead snake Henry Baur, aged 60, lapsed into a state of coma and narrowly escaped burial alive, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Baur, who is a retired business man of Pittsburg, has spent the summer in a cottage on the ridge bordering the Youghiogheny river, ten miles below Connellisville. He was bitten on the left hand by a large copperhead snake recently. Being a firm believer in the efficacy of the whisky cure he at once began the treatment. William Worme, his only companion in his isolated home, was hastily sent to Dawson for whisky. On his return, as no unfavorable symptoms had developed, the treatment was continued. Later Worme was overcome by sleep while watching at the bedside, and when he awoke, soon after midnight, he was horrified to find Baur cold and rigid. Supposing that he was dead, he washed and shaved him and prepared him for grave, straightening him out on a board. He then waited until daybreak and started to report Baur's death. Meanwhile a physician, who had been sent for just after Baur was bitten, arrived. Investigation disclosed the fact that the supposed dead man was in a comatose sleep Antidotes were given and consciousness returned. As soon as Alpheus got his raise Hannah furnished the parlor on the installment plan, and the next week invited her old father from the country town down to visit her. The old man was one of those farmers that you see in the continuous performances. He had a roll of gray whiskers under his chin. He carried a bag made of red body Brussels. He wore congress galters so wide at the top that the bottoms of his trousers were always caught in them. He whittled a stick, said "by gum" and drank cider. A typical continuous performance farmer.

Mrs. Bobo gave out souvenirs, upon which had her name. When it was found out that some recreant had changed the "B" to "H" the entire party was completely upset with the funny joke, after which light refreshments were served and voted to soon come again, where the latch string was always out.

Crowded to the doors, even with the gallery completely filled, with the many friends and acquaintances of the Masons was Shorter Sunday night y.. hen the Lodge of Sorrow was being so touchingly witnessed. Every mem- ber of that august body seemed to personally realize the sadness of the occasion, which made a deep impres- sion upon the vast concourse of peo- ple. As the orators memorialized upon the sacred memory of the de- parted members, putting in remem- brance some past dear but sad scenes, as Shorter’s large pipe organ, manipu- lated by Miss Gertrude Nichols and assisted by her well-trained choir, were pealing forth {n rhythmic vol- umes such effective notes, and as the different sobs, among which was “Flee As the Bird,” were sung by the different choir members, the whole church seemed to be In the deepest sympathy with the mourning brethren and though silently, but reverently, joined in their sentiments of sorrow. CHARGES DROPPED. The news last week that an at tempt was being made to implicate Richard Frazier in receiving stolen money, came as a surprise to a host of people, who now will rejoice to know that the police department has satisfied itself that he was in no way connected with the crime, and that all charges have been dropped. “Dich.” _Wrasier, as he be is better known, is the manager of the Pastime Club and is a genial business man whose straight forward conduct had already convinced those who knew him that the charges were false.

DENVER. COLORADO. STRUCK AT THE WHOLE BUNCH. No Wonder Batsman 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?" 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." Slightly Misunderstood. The hazy recollections or dim impressions that people not overburdened with a fund of general information retain of things they have seen or heard of frequently result in amusing descriptions and definitions. "The little book with the x's and the y's scattered all over it" was fairly suggestive of algebra, even though it betrayed ignorance of the science of arithmetic on the part of him who thus described it. When watchee were not as plentiful in Scotland as they are to-day a peasant who had taken a watch from the pocket of an officer who was killed during a campaign in the Highlands was mystified by the unceasing noise it made. On taking it home he told his friends that he had found a beautiful snuffbox with a fly inside. As little understood were the workings of a telegraph office by the man who, on receiving a telegram from his son, hesitated to believe it was from Pat because "his writing isn't a bit like that."

It behoves us to get a move on us, if not we will have that man from Trinidad with his monkey. Mr. Span arrived in Las Vegas yesterday to locate permanently. Mr. R. Sims of Topeka spent a few days in Vegas last week. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. A few of the young people of Vegas will spend the day in the mountains headed by Mr. Hyde of Topeka, Kans. Any one wishing room and board on coming to our city, please call on Miss Florence Taylor. Our church is progressing nicely. Rev. Solly baptized one last night and read nine into the church as full members. He certainly has done well this year. If Vegas does not get him back they can say for once they had a good man in the right place. And if Vegas will come up with her dollar money as they should we think the bishop will send Rev. Solly to us again or one equally as good. The bishop said he had a tender spot in his heart for us and we hope he will show it in this conference. GUNNISON, COLO., NEWS.

To the Pastors of the Denver District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, this comes greeting: With heartfelt thanks to the Giver of all good, we acknowledge manifold blessings in the conference year now nearly ended. The near approach of the annual conference admonishes us that we exert every energy to appear at the annual assembly with full rounded reports. This being the last year in the term, and in the administration of our beloved Bishop Abraham Grant, previous to the general conference, we owe it to ourselves to Bishop Grant and to the work in which we are engaged, that we do our very best. Do not forget the collection for the expenses of the delegates to the general conference. Western University appeals to us for aid. Some of us will have to double the efforts we made last year, if the Fifth Episcopal District succeeds in raising her $3,000 for W. U. this year. In regard to dollar money, we look for a collection far exceeding that of any previous effort in the history of the conference. I need not stop to enumerate, but call your attention to the fact that we need an increase in the reports, on all lines of our church work. God bless you and yours, and the work committed to your hands. When the roll is called on the 18th of September in Denver, let us all be there. JAS. H. HUBBARD, P. E., 2824 Stout St., Denver, Col. The Azalia Hackley Choral Club met in "Fun Session" Monday night at the beautiful home of Director A. A. Waller, 2606 Gilpin street, and so pleasantly did the hours glide that when the announcement "time for owl cars" was heard all avowed with protest "owl cars are six hours early." The evening was spent in various amusements interspersed with a program consisting of instrumental solo by Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook, "Of Alabama" and "Old Black Joe" with several of the sweetest and most difficult variations. Remarks by Dr. Harper on "Our Splendid Past and Our Promising Future." A solo by Mrs. Moore, "Rosary." The club sang the last two choruses from "Belshazzar." The club becoming reminiscent de- The text is cut off and cannot be accurately transcribed.

Waller taking soprano, Chas. A. Clark tenor. Then a solo by Mrs. Lillian H. Jones, "Old Madrid," also a song "Nobody Just Like You by Dr. T. E. McClela'n. The club was then served with refreshments consisting of lobster salad, ices, cake and bonbons. Mr. Trimble, father of Mrs. Westbrook, spent the evening with the club. Mrs. Westbrook will leave soon with her father to visit her fomrer home in Tennessee. Miss M. Thirkles left Thursday for a visit of several weeks to her old home near Kansas City, Mo. The club will meet regularly every Monday night with Mrs. Waller, 2606 Gilpin street. A GOOD TIME PROMISED. All the members in good standing of The Commonwealth Life are invited to come out to the meeting on Friday, Aug. 23rd, as they are going to serve refreshments in their new hall, 1712 Curtis. Refreshments will be free to all members. The plan of Dunbar Assembly of giving prizes of hand-painted china to members present is proving a great success. There were double as many present at the last meeting as at any this summer. The hand-painted plate was won by Miss Cecelia Walker of Twenty-first and Arapahoe and the consolation prize by Mr. Jno. Jackson. Don't forget the date and if you are not a member become one before the 23rd. Special dispensation on for the summer months. Tis the Heart Within You, Lad You may fancy when you read How some great man of the past Led where others feared to lead, Planning well and holding fast, That the fates or chance, some way, Gave the sweet success he had, That it merely happened—nay, "Twas the heart within him, lad. Was it chance or luck or Fate That made Washington persist Till another sovereign state Had been added to the list? Could some other, do you say, With such chances as he had, Have won all his glory?—Nay, "Twas the heart within him, lad. Do you see some rival rise While you toil away below? Do you find that trouble lies In the hard way that you go? Do you think you might to-day— You that follow glum and sad— Land if luck pursued you?—Nay, 'Tis the heart within you, lad. -S. E. Kiser.

"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 wood secker."

April 13 is the anniversary of Rodney's timely but much controverted victory over De Crasse, in which he received assistance from an unexpected ally. While the new manoeuvre of "breaking up the line"—really invented by Capt. Douglas—was being executed, a shot shattered the hencook and a little bantam cock escaped into the rigging. From this coign of vantage, whenever the Glorieux fired her broadside into the Formidable, he would hurt back a prolonged crow of defiance at the Frenchman. This "produced mighty merriment among the seamen, and inspired them with a proper spirit for the business." As a reward for his public services, the plucky little bird was reprieved from the cook, and passed the rest of his days ashore as a petted pensioner. Satisfying Congregation's Curiosity. Rev. C. N. Wright, Wardle Vicarage, Rochdale, for a personal reminiscence, writes: "In my third living there was a very crowded congregation the first morning I officiated. The parishioners were evidently curious as to the beild, color of hair, etc., of their new vicar. As a matter of fact I was, though a young man, very bald. A little thought would have caused me to make my first appearance on any morning but the eighth, but it was the eighth, and in the Psalma, which were read and not sung, I had to say: "My sins are more in number than the hairs of my head."—London Globe. In a German Law Court. A German law court was the scene lately of an amusing incident. The magistrate, a tiresome and long-winded person, was deciding a small case in which the plaintiff claimed damages for abuse. "To call a man a 'pig' or a 'dog,'" ruled the judge, "is certainly an insult; but to say that he is a 'pig-dog' is inoffensive, for no such animal exists." The plaintiff glared at the bench. "Schweine-hund!" he remarked with bitter emphasis.—T. P.'s Weekly. More Than One "The average woman," said Grumball, "has but one idea, and that's dress." "Huh!" snorted Marryat, "my wife usually has at least a dozen Meas, and they're dresses."—The Cath standard and Times. Too Much for Mar. Marguerite Watson was a small child, who, like many another, had the inconvenient habit of asking embarrassing questions before guests. When her mother had company to lunch and dinner it seemed to be her especial delight to comment on every unusual dish she saw on the table. One day Mrs. Watson, who lived in a small town, invited some friends to lunch. Wishing to have it particularly nice, she sent to the city for candles, fancy cakes and ices. Marguerite was allowed to come to the table on the sole condition that she should not speak of anything strange she saw. As soon as the little girl sat down her glance fell on some candied white grapes. For fully ten minutes her eyes were fixed on the bon-bon dish as if fascinated, but she said nothing. At last she could stand it no longer. "Mother," she suddenly burst out, "just tell me where you got them, and I'll never say another word!" ```markdown ```
