FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN Graphaphone Entertainment Peoples Presbyterian Admission 10 Cents CHURCH Sept 9 AFTERMATH BUSINESS LEAGUE As Seen by Colorado Delegate to the Great Topeka Convention NINETEENTH YEAR Graphaphone En Admission 1 AFTERMAT BUSINES As Seen by Colorado Topeka The great convention recently held in Topeka, Kans., representative of the business interests of the Negroes of the nation, was the first of its charatcer that I have ever had the pleasure of attending. But it shall not be the last, for it is not possible to calculate the many benefits that come from a personal contact with men and women of the type that has builded up this league. Colorado was on hand with a party of seven to represent her and it may be said it compared favorably with any of the other states. Of course the Southern states had by far the largest representation and their showing from a business and financial standpoint was only a little short of marvelous. We of the North, who have been carried away with the rather peculiar notion of superior advantages and greater privileges, can but vaguely comprehend the strongly entrenched financial condition of our Southern brother. It was a liberal education to meet and converse with such men and women as this league affords. Aside from the brilliant Washington, the sturdy Vernon and the ever commanding Fortune, Ohio sent out a worthy representative in Fred D. Patterson of Greenfield. The state of Illinois promptly offered L. L. Jones and S. Lang Williams. Missouri was carefully looked after by Dr. Dibble and Shannon and Prof. J. Dallas Brown, while Mississippi was represented by the chief moving spirit of the entire convention, Charles B. Banks of Mound Bayou. Of the individual cities represented, it cannot be denied that ```markdown ``` Muskogee, I. T., swept everything before it. And it will always remain a mystery to those of us not on the inside, just how Baltimore, without a single delegate in the convention, could be selected over such a healthy and well represented rival as Muskogee. In many respects the league is not as broad-gauged as is generally believed. There is much of the machine and made-to-order methods connected with it, and this should be and must be thoroughly eradicated before it will have attained its highest sphere of usefulness. Indeed, judged rightly, the chief benefits of the National Negro Business League is in its inspirational features. It cannot be said to be a definite force save as it may serve to inspire others to gain the height of success attained by such honest and worthy men as Turner of Indiana., Carr of Tennessee, and the venerable Judge Gibbs of Arkansas. No community can have the convention within its midst without being better for its coming; no man can attend such great meetings without feeling a personal uplift from the contact. There you meet the best that one race and nation affords, there you meet Negro inventors, Negro merchants, Negro bankers, Negro contractors, Negroes skilled in the professions and in art. Moreover a perfect decorum abounds at all times. There is one thing, however, that should be discouraged and effectually squelched at future meetings, and that is the tendency to petty graft and the mercenary attitude of some who (Continued on page 5.) BRAVE MEN PICNIC LABOR DAY If one could have seen the people coming to the depot and at the depot rushing here and there, some trying to go to the trains, some running to catch it and some being in the cars, were laughing with glee at their tardy friends, then one could vaguely have an idea of the true situation on Labor Day when Harry Jones, chairman of the committee, was to take the jolly excursionists to Crystal Lake. Never before has there been such an all around success in the history of the K. of P. outings which certainly speaks eminently high of the executive and administrative ability of Harry Jones. The workers of his committee, Dr. Westbrook, A. L. Davis, Ed. Jamison, Harry Nesbit, G. C. Sample, John Wells and I. M. Ledbetter, all come in for their share of the glory. I. M. Ledbetter was Mr. Jones' right hand support. To fail to mention the picturesque places in Platte Canyon, the spacious pavilion, the pleasant burro riding, the much desired and always enjoyable shade, swings, fishing, together with that long table of wholesome cooked foods, fried chicken, corn bread, etc., would be a grievous error and detract some merited credit from the success of the day. Dancing was indulged in from 2 until 6 p. m., after which the merry crowd gathered at the train and had an excellent time singing and talking all the way home. Everybody was happy to go, got happier after they went and was the happiest because they had gone and were on time. FIVE CENTS A COPY an Sept 9 N PICNIC ABOR DAY 'Tis not often the colored man gets an invitation to dine with the members of the other race, and when they do it is always a good idea to go, even at a sacrifice. That much one is duty-bound for the race. But when U. G. Brown; representing Shorter's C. E. Society, stepped into the Brown Palace dining hall, and was so royally and enthusiastically welcomed by the president and others, he scored a point against race prejudice in our favor. The Citizens' Christian Union also invited him to be present at their banquet at the Adams hotel as our representative last Saturday night.

SHERMAN BALKED AT SCRATCH Why Barber Had Poor Opinion of the Great General. James Johnstone, the noted baseball ampire, was the guest of honor at a recent banquet of baseball "fans," a banquet that was a protest against Mr. Johnstone's proposed retirement. "A health to square Jim Johnstone, the bravest ampire that ever called a strike," the toastmaster said, and Umpire Johnstone, in his acknowledgement, talked about bravery. "I am square," he said, "but I don't pretend to be particularly brave. Squareness, by itself, will make a man a successful umpire. He has no great need of bravery on the diamond. Who, indeed, needs bravery overmuch? Even the soldier doesn't. Obedience and a sense of pride will carry any soldier through. "Sometimes I doubt if soldiers are over brave. I am like the barber who once shaved Sherman. "This barber, in shaving the great General, cut him, and Sherman, as he buttoned his collar at the operation's end, said with a good deal of bitterness: "'You cut my ear. I won't come here again.' "The barber sneered. "'And they say,' he muttered, 'that you fought through four campaigns.'" Politeness a Valuable Asset. The career of Prof. George A. Witzhoff, the eminent New York multigamist, who married fifty wives in seven years and made an average profit of $1,473.20 on each venture, affords lessons that may be well taken to heart by the youth of America. Starting life as a poor boy, with few advantages of education or influence, he rose by his own unaided efforts to the top of his chosen profession. Seven years ago, when he courted and won his first wife, he was a blundering amateur, like any other callow young man who leads the fair object of his adoration to the sacrificial altar. Today he is the world's foremost authority on the noble science of wooing the fair. The lesson that lies in his success for the ambitious young men of America is the fact that politeness is profitable. With no other stock in trade Witzhoff fought his way to the first rank in the ancient art of matrimony. Therefore, it is a fair conclusion that courtesy would be of great value in any other trade. A polite policeman, grafter, musician, or delicatessen dealer should have the same advantage over an impolite one that the doctor enjoyed over his rivals.—Baltimore Herald. MYSTIC SHRINERS. The committee having in charge the getting up of a consistory of the Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine will meet every Friday evening at Goen's barber shop, 1226 Eighteenth street, and wish that each and every Mason in good standing will attend one opportunity in a lifetime.

As man was created for a varied and mixed diet, he has abundant opportunities for selecting his food and supplying his individual needs. In most cases appetite is the surest guide to healthy digestion and proper nourishment. This certainly is the common sense view that must appeal to all rational feeders: "Eat with regularity and in accordance with the demands of hunger such dishes as have always been regarded as innocuous and remember that, as a rule, it is neither meats nor bouillon nor wine nor spices nor coffee which poison us but their abuse." Hle Vain Threat Here is a verbatim report of a conversation overheard in a New York elevated train: He—What would you do if some other man told you he loved you? She—Don't be silly. He—But I mean it. What would you do? She (impatiently)—I don't know what I'd do. He (fiercely)—Well, I know what I'd do. She—What? He—I'd kill him. She (serenely)—I don't sup pose you'd ever know anything about it. Germans in the United States. According to conservative estimates the United States contains 12,000,000 to 13,000,000 inhabitants of German blood. The census of 1900 gives 2,666, 900 as born in Germany and over 7, 500,000 whose parents were born there Rescued from Perilous Position. Adrift in San Francisco bay in a disabled launch loaded with dynamite, without food and with the waves dashing over them for two days and two nights, is the plight from which two badly frightened men were rescued. Boys as Household Servants. Housemen and houseboys are being introduced with great success in houses in Melbourne, Australia, to alleviate the domestic servant problem. Boys, it is found, work more quickly than girls. Birds Love Toys. Most birds love toys. The playthings help to while away the time and prevent them from tearing their plumage. Parrots are especially devoted to playthings and can be trained to do simple tricks with the objects specially fancied. A soft-billed bird will amuse itself for an hour with a peanut which it cannot break, a tiny bell or a mirror just big enough to reflect its own head. Meaning of Babylon. Babylon was great. She used science and she used art, but she abused human life. She invented summals, but forgot to regulate with justice the hours of labor. She could calculate a star's eclipse, but not her own. No state has been more guilty of the waste of human life. And when we see her ruins lying like a vast, mysterious autograph scrawled over the desert her history appears to be full of warning—From W. R. Paterson's "Nemesis of Nations." Life's Ambition. All life is a fight with self. The battle begins with consciousness and never lets up until the aged warrior goes to another world for his crown. The supreme ambition of every noble life is to conquer self. The greatest sorrow of the world is sorrow over the soul's defeat. PAGE 14 WORK LONG WITHOUT SLEEP. Trained Nurses at Times Must Keep Lengthy Vigils. "It always makes me smile to hear men talk about their long hours," said the trained nurse. "If by any possible chance a man hasn't had his clothes off for twenty-four hours you never hear the end of it, unless perhaps the occasion has been an all-night poker game or something of the sort which he isn't so apt to talk about. But ordinarily he makes a great fuss over his long hours, particularly if due to stress of work or some unexpected duty. Now, a trained nurse, even though one of the generally accepted 'weaker sex,' thinks nothing, when occasion demands, of going three or four days and nights without once closing her eyes. I recently was called to a typhoid fever case on a Thursday, and on the following Wednesday the patient died. In all that time I only had five hours' sleep, three hours Sunday afternoon and two hours Monday night. On rare occasions I have gone even longer than that without any sleep at all. Of course, we try to make up for it afterward, but it's a good bit like cheating nature." Minister Tower's Own Pun. While on his way to Germany some time ago Mr. Charlemagne Tower, United States minister to that country, fell into conversation with a very intelligent lady, who was planning to make a tour of several European countries. She spoke with much enthusiasm of her intended trip up the Rhine Among the many places of historic interest where she expected to spend some time was Aix-la-Chapelle. "I want," said she, "to visit the towers in the Charlemagne Cathedral there—the Charlemagne towers, as I call them—where the famous relics are kept." "An when," said the diplomat, handin; his card to the lady, who did not yet know who he was, "you go to Berlin, visit the one there." Sorry She Spoke So Soon. Wife—I need a little more money. Husband—It is only two days since— "Now, see here! I want you to understand that I wouldn't ask for money if I didn't need it, and don't intend to be reminded that it's only two days since you gave me some. I am not a child, nor a menial, nor a slave, to be treated like an irresponsible being, and I just want you to know that I won't stand it either, so there now! I've got just as much right to your money as you have, so there now, you—" "My dear, I was merely going to remark that it is only two days since I drew my salary, and you could have all you wanted."

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Temperature for Baths. A very hot bath is a strong stimulant, and should never be used by a persons in vigorous health. Ninety degrees is the limit of the warm bath. It is the highest temperature safe to use, and is almost as high as anyone would be likely to take it. But physicians often prescribe a higher temperature for certain ailments. A salt bath taken at night at a temperature of eighty degrees will often induce a pleasant sleep when nothing else will. It has a peculiarly soothing effect on the nerves, and will send restless babies tired with teething into a wholesome sleep. The best salt for this purpose is cheap rock salt. A Land of Lying Rumor. "Nothing can be believed in this and unless it is in black and white, and but little even then; the most circumstantial details are often mere figments of the brain. The one-half one years may safely be called false, and the other half doubtful or not proven." So wrote Dr. Livingstone of Africa more than thirty years ago, after a lifetime's experience of the continent, and it would not appear that its character for truthfulness has yet undergone any great change for the better. Good Scarecrows Wasted. A gentleman who had been at great expense to adorn his garden with statuary was much chagrined recently to hear an old man from the country say to his wife as they gazed upon the statues: "Jes see what a waste, Bolindal Here's no less than six scarecrows in this ten-foot patch, and any one of 'em would keep the pows from a five-acre Hold."—London Mt-Bita Logger's Queer Language. "Terms Used in Forestry and Logging," just published as bulletin 61 of the Bureau of Forestry, affords the lay reader an insight into a strange vernacular. Among the logging terms are some truly remarkable expressions. The uninitiated may learn the distinction between a "ball hooter" and a "boom rat," between a "bull cook" and a catman," and find that none refers to any lesser animal than the logger himself. Among other creatures of the camp may be numbered also the "alligator," the "dolphin," the "dog," the "pig," and the 'road donkey," all objects endowed with life by the vernacular. The "alligator" is a boat used in handling logs; the "dog," a short, heavy piece of steel; the "pig," a rigging sled, and the "road donkey," a donkey engine mounted on a heavy sled. Birds are represented by the "blue jay" and the "rooster," reptiles by the "snake," and insects by the "katydida."—New York Times. Returns to America.

Just north of the Himalaya mountain range in Chinese Turkestan lies a belt of land which is watered by north flowing rivers. These, however, do not flow anywhere, but lose themselves in the sand of the desert. The worst deserts of American are mere child's play to the desert conditions in this part of Asia. In many places there were formerly, one thousand or two thousand years ago, a condition of soil and climate so that they could support a considerable population. There are the remains of villages and even cities, which must have had water in large quantities in places now far distant from any reliable source of supply. So dry is the country that ruins of wooden houses which have been exposed to the weather for ten centuries or more have hardly the beginning of decay. Jap Turkeys. The wife of one of the early missionaries to Japan, wishing to entertain some friends, sent out an old domestic to hunt up a turkey. After a whole day's inquiry he found one, and in due time a large and beautiful roast was served up, glorious, perfect—ah yes, perfect; so much so that the knife utterly refused to mar its perfection. The old serving man was summoned. "Where did you buy that turkey?" "At the Temple of Kinkakujl." "Why, what was it doing there?" "It was the sacred Tin Wara." Did they say it was a good bird?" "Oh, yes, honorable presence, they recommended it highly. They've had it 15 years and two moons themselves." Nothing is more pathetic than an old man who is trying to sow wild oats.

Wandering Tribes Offer Tributes to the Passing Locomotive-Berths of Cars Made Up in Layers for the Economically Inclined. "In India a prospective traveler sets off for the station with a native servant, who will get the tickets, choose the seats on the train, look after the baggage and on the journey make all necessary purchases," says a writer. "At the station he finds a motley crowd—the larger stations always seem to be crowded—composed for the most part of natives. Both the women and the men display gorgeous colors—even to the lowest castes. The latter show turbans of many hues, while the former, in addition to being arrayed in robes of gladsome dyes, have silver, glass and other gems, many very valuable, in their noses and as earrings. Some, perhaps the majority, have been waiting about the station for an hour or so, for the Indian natives are rich in time, if in nothing else. The men are circulating the hubble-bubble, or slowly chewing the pansupari—that is, the betel-nut quid, the universal and perpetual solace of India. You will try it once, but never again. It consists of chips of the areca nut, broken up by a sort of steel nut cracker and mingled with a pinch of lime, the whole being wrapped in a leaf of the pepper vine and fastened with a clove. The women, poor gentle souls, have some chuppatties—cakes—in a cloth, with a 'hand' of bananas or a basket of mangoes and perhaps a water jug. "Even the tourist carries a 'tfin' basket, filled with potted meat, biscuits, wine, soda water and machinery for brewing tea. He has also his own light bedding with him, two silk or cotton rezais, well wadded, and a pillow; a pillow case, calico sheets and a basket. The seats in the train carriages are unusually deep and are so arranged as to form couches for the night. All the first-class compartments have a double roof to them, to scften the fierce impact of noonday sunshine, and the windows are duplicated with purple or green glass and shutters, to exclude the hot winds and the choking dust. On some lines, too, the third and fourth class carriages are fashioned in stories, so that there are layers of humble travelers berthed over the heads of the others. In this luxurious fashion will the Hindoo, with his family, contentedly journey day and night and go upon pilgrimages, being easily satisfied if he can only get over the ground cheaply. Little Money Wasted There. Though the half yearly net profits of the Industrial Bank of Japan amounted to $350,000, only $10,000 was paid out for "directors' fees and bonuses." In Theory Only.

Did you ever figure on the probable size and immense strength of Moses, basing your calculations on the dimensions of the tables of stone, as given by the Talmudic writers? In the Talmud (folio 38, column 8) it is said that the tables of stone upon which the commandments were written were six ells long, six ells broad and three ells thick. In the Bible, Exodus xxxii, 15, we are told that "Moses went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand." "Hand," mind you, not hands, though it must be admitted that it would have taken a strong pair of hands to perform the task of carrying them, even on the level. Now, we will put the Talmudic and the biblical accounts together and apply the mathematical rule. The Hebrew ell or cubit was, at its least estimate, a measure of 18 inches, which would have made each of the tables a stone block nine feet long, nine feet wide and four and one-half feet thick. If common stone weighed as much to the square foot then as it does now the tables would tip the beam at about 28 tons! Was Moses one of the giants of those days or has someone made a mistake in calculations or in the statement of supposed facts?—Exchange. TO BREAK OFF BAD HABITS Druggist Explains Why Many Men Are Chewing Gum. "Do I sell much chewing gum?" said a Denver druggist in response to an idle question from a man who was in the store waiting for a car. "Well, I should say I did. And, queer as it may seem, a great many of those who buy it are men. Why do they get it? Well, I'll tell you. They buy it to use in breaking themselves of habits. A man will think he's smoking too much and will want to quit. He'll drop tobacco and take up chewing gum. The gum gives his mouth something to do and through its use he finds it easier to keep away from cigars. Another man will quit drinking. He wants something to do with his mouth—in fact must have something. Therefore he takes to chewing gum. I have even known dope flends to use gum in order to quit using the drugs. Gum is a great thing as a habit breaker. Why some day I even expect to see men chew gum in order to quit gambling, fighting with their wives, etc. Women chew lots of gum, but men use almost as much."—Denver Post. Court of Last Resort. "I am sorry," said the poet, "but I am obliged to call your attention to the fact that a line in one of my recent compositions was entirely perverted and the meaning painfully distorted by the compositor." "Young man," replied the editor, "that compositor has gone through more poems than you ever wrote, or ever read. He has put in his life setting up poetry of all kinds, spring and autumn styles, and heavier goods for winter. He may have changed your poem; but when you say he harmed it, you presume.

Phone 1797 Olive, Farmers Becoming Business Men. Viewed from all sides, farming is a great business. And it is as a real, live, substantial and serious business that the farmers should regard and conduct their affairs. Fortunately, system is rapidly revolutionizing the business. In the golden northwest the successful farmers are managing their estates like great manufacturing plants. There are no leaks, no slip-shod methods. They are piling up magnificent crops and are making fortunes. Down our way, through Kentucky and the south, too, the farmers are beginning to look upon their occupation as a sure-enough business and not as a speculative pastime. Louisville Courier-Journal. Discouraging Theft of Books. One stern old Puritan had printed on his book label: "This book is not loaned." Therefore, if the book was seen outside its owner's house, the inference was plain to the whole community. But think of the perfect condition of all his books, when they were inherited by his sons and daughters! Another, much less delicate motto was: "This book was stolen from Ebenezer Stoddard!" A gentle William Penn-like motto was: "Anyone may borrow, but a Gentleman returns."—Los Angeles Times. Would Take Another Chance. A young author called at the great publishing house of Ticknor & Fields in Boston one day and asked to see Mr. Fields. On being shown in to that gentleman's room he did not fancy the austere publisher's looks, for this was the conversation that took place: "Is this Mr. Fields?" "It is, sir." "Mr. James T Fields?" "I am he." "Well, then, I'd like to see Mr. Ticknor." Had Two Funerals. Augustin Poole, a veteran trainer, who fought in the Crimea in 1854-56, was thrown into a burial trench while wounded after the battle of Tchercaya, but made a slight movement that was noticed and pulled out again, died in England recently. He lived just fifty years after his first funeral Her Self-Sacrifice He (after the proposal)--But I'm afraid I am not good enough for you, darling? She—Of course you are not. But you are too good to be thrown away on any other girl. Russian Officers Loss Perquisite. The premiums of $250 and $500 offered during the last three years to Russian officers to learn to speak, read and write the Chinese language will be discontinued at the end of the present year. Church Holidays Mixed Up. In Constantinople three Christmas celebrations, two New Year's days and two other holy days follow each other in quick succession. As the "old style" calendar brings December 25 two weeks after the same day "new style," two Christmases, the first Latin and the second Greek, are inevitable. And as stormy weather kept a delegation of Armenians from attending an ecumenical council at Chalcedon in 451, at which council the date of Christmas was changed from Jan. 6 to Dec. 25, the Armenians have ever since kept their old day. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. OFFERS BIBLE FOR TOBACCO. Aged Southerner's Exteremity Melts Heart of West Side Grocer. A Chicago grocery man tells of a seedy-looking individual, with the appearance of better days in his memory, who came into the grocery, and, in the accent of the old South, asked for credit for a package of smoking tobacco. This was refused. The old man, who wore an ancient silk hat and a long frock coat, turned away with a sigh, but returned shortly with a pained look and a copy of the Bible. "My name is Rust, suh—" "You look it," the grocer interjected. "I am a brother, suh, of Gen. Rust of Miss'ippi, suh, and not in the habit of making propositions of this kind, suh. But if you will take this book, suh, in pledge, and trust me for the smoking material, suh, I pledge you the honah of a Rust, suh, that I will redeem it in a very few days." And yet the grocer refused to part with the "noxious weed." Again the old man turned away and with a sigh remarked: "Well, suh, if you won't take my word nor the word of God eyether, I presume that it is best to close these negotiations. Good day, suh; good day." "That was too much for even as hard-hearted a man as I am," said the grocer. "I called the old gentleman back and made him happy with a package of tobacco, and I didn't keep his Bible, either." How the Pendulum was Found. Like many of the commonest mechanical instruments as daily use, the invention of the pendulum is due entirely to chance. Gellies, when under 20 years of age, was ringing one day in the Metropolitan Church of Pisa, while some people were at work on the ceiling of the church. A suspended lamp which was hanging before the altar was disturbed in some manner, and the scientist was struck with the almost perfect regularity with which it swung back and forth. The idea of measuring time by such an instrument found instant generation in his brain, and he completed the system in use to this day.—Sunday Magazine. Germany's Silent Soldier. Von Moltke, Germany's great soldier, was most laconic. His intimates knew almost to a word in what language the toasts allotted to him would be proposed. The health of his royal master would be submitted in four words or twice as many, because, as he reasoned, his hearers knew as much about the sovereign as he did. There was once a bet over a toast which he was to propose. The man who made it wagered that Von Moltke would discharge his task in eight words, or, at the outside nine. He lost. The old soldier tacked on the word "gentleman" at the end of his sentence, and that made tea. The College Yells of Wales. Wales is by no means disposed to bond the knee to America. The Welsh "yells" are fully up to the transatlantic level. The University of North Wales has a yell something like this: "Bravo, bravissimo, ray, ray, ra-o-rock! Ray-ray-ra-o-rock Ray-ray-ra-o-rock!" Cardiff has a somewhat similar "yell," while at Aberystwyth the cry is: "Hip hip-hur-aber! Hip-hip-hur-aber! Hip-hip-hur-Aberystwyth! With a pip and a pang, and a yip and a yang. Yak! Yak!!

He was the guest of honor at a dinner given by J. W. Jackson Tuesday. The barbecue at Campbell church drew splendid patronage. This is a recognized annual event and has friends who wait for it. The provisions were all sold out soon and were of the usually fine flavor that has made Campbell barbecues famous. Mrs. Minnie C. Bell has been granted a divorce from her husband. She left Tuesday for Muskogee after spending several weeks in the city visiting her mother. She was a social figure during her stay and will be much missed. Mr. L. D.

The Union Health and Accident Company is the only home institution that has complied with the new law by depositing with the State of Colorado ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS as a guarantee that the rights of the policy holders will be protected. There are many companies soliciting business whose resources are less than three hundred dollars, and more than twenty of them have failed during the past few years. It would appear that there is no chance of their success, in view of the fact that the people have their choice of a strong or weak concern, the cost of insuring being the same. THE POLICY HOLDERS LOSE. Word comes to us that another Denver health and accident company will retire from business September 12th. The claims far exceed their income, and as they have no deposit with the state, the policy holders lose their money. The name of the company will be mentioned in the next issue of the Statesman. At the residence of the bride's mother, 119 West Walnut street, at 8:40 o'clock p. m., Tuesday evening, the daughter of Mrs. Clifford Grant was united in wedlock to Mr. Nathaniel Hurbert. Dr. Chas.

Westbrook has charge of Shorter's choir, assisted by Miss Gertrude Nichols as organist. Sunday afternoon when Rev. C. W. Holmes preached the sacrimental sermon which seemed to be enjoyed the choir fell into the sacred atmosphere and rendered valuable service. Everybody praised their effective work, which only bespoke just praise and reflected deserving credit upon the former chorister. A general spiritual uplift was the result of that afternoon's meeting.

Men and sections of the country that have displays of merit to offer should be given every encouragement and all the space they need. But not so with the petty grafter and the vender of cheap wares, by far too conspicuous at the Topeka meeting. There is a wide and noticeable difference between such magnificent displays as those of Prof. Albert Ross, Anthony Morton of Kan- sas City and those of the buttonhole artists that awaited the delegates in hallways and on the streets. But these were merely incidents and did not to any extent mar the actual worth and beauty of this the gréatest of all meetings of the National Business League. GEO. W.

Ways of UDtaining its Erects, Consumers of opium are not all of the saine kind. There are slaves of the pipe, slaves of the syringe and slaves of the powder that is swallowed to give surcease of pain or of mental worry. There are those who take the drug in the form of a medicinal prep- aration, such as laudanum, paregoric, and the extract of laudanum; those who smoke it and inhale the fumes {nto the lungs and those who take hypodermic injections of morphia. The second class—the smokers—comprise the largest number of victims. Dr. Jeliffe of the New York city hos- pita] estimates that fully 30,000 people in that city are addicted to the opium ‘habit in some form. The annual sale ie opium in Vermont is equivalent, -acccrding to the doctor, to a grain for every adult in the state, an amount obviously far greater than can be ac- counted for by its consumption for medicinal purposes. Some slaves of the drug take it regularly every day; others have periodical sprees similar to those of the alcoho) drinker. It Weut.

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. Those interested can secure full information by addressing BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Polyplot Antagonisms. Nowhere else in the world is there so great a confusion of languages, peoples and religions as in the mountains and steppes of Caucasia. Her deep, closed valleys have taken toll of many races in their migrations, and the very inaccessibility of these mountain retreats has preserved types and tongues which elsewhere have long since become extinct, or has facilitated the development of new ones. It has been stated that the number of distinct dialects spoken in the Caucasus is sixty-eight, and these represent every stage of linguistic development. In these circumstances it is not strange that the antagonisms of Christian and Mohammedan, of Armenian and orthodox, should be intensified, and of all against a government bent on stamping out every race of independence and distinctiveness. Philadelphia Ledger. New Coal Mine Danger. A rather unexpected danger in coal mines, as also in other places, has appeared. In an English mine an ordinary 100-volt 16-candle power lamp proved to be capable of causing smoke to rise within three minutes when imbedded in coal dust, and of producing flame within twenty-five minutes when laid on the top of coal dust. In other experiments heat was generated so rapidly that when the lamp was partly covered by coal dust, the bulb exploded in four minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit, and at a certain point combustion was begun in the dust and continued after removal of the lamp. Careless laying down of a lamp might start a fire quite unnoticed. Will you allow me to point out to you that the tune of "Yankee Doodle" is an old Irish jig of the early eighteenth century, well known in Ireland still as "All the Way to Galway?" Your statement that it was composed by Dr. Schuckburgh is a slip. You probably meant that he wrote the doggerel words, which is generally admitted, but he merely adapted his verses to the Irish jig, which was printed as "Yankee Doodle" in 1782, and was subsequently introduced by Arnold into his "Two to One."—London Truth.

It is not a matter of common knowledge that some of the weeds "infesting" the land will produce the crude drugs which to-day in large part are obtained by importation from abroad. Alice Henkel, an assistant of the government's plant industry bureau, says that the roots, leaves and flowers of several of the weed species regarded as plagues in the United States are gathered, prepared and cured in Europe, and not only for useful commodities there but supply to a considerable extent the demands of foreign lands. There are weeds in this country against which extermination laws have been passed which hold in their leaves, stems or roots medicinal properties which have a value in the work of preserving the health of the nation. It is possible in ridding land of weeds in order that crops may be grown to make of the uprooted "pests" a source of income. Moreover, it is possible to maintain upon land given over as worthless for crop-growing purposes a weed plantation, which after the harvest will prove itself to be not less profitable than some of the tilled fields. $350,000 in Coats of Arms There are sufficient people in England and Scotland paying the annual tax imposed by the inland revenue upon the use of armorial bearings to produce a sum of $350,000 each year. The great bulk of this sum is paid by people who care not an atom either about their family or their arms, but pay the tax regularly simply because they have carriages or plate heraldically decorated. The really old families of the realm, however, use armorial emblems for decorative purposes to an extent almost incredible in the eyes of those familiar with them only on note paper, table silver and carriage panela.

The growth of a proper spirit of independence among Negroes is commendable. A few years ago the property owner among us was rare. Now he is common. The effort of the real estate men to confine us to undesirable houses and out of the way localities has received the severest rebuke and most telling answer in the fact that over wide sections of the residence portion of the city there is not a block without a colored taxpayer. A similar independence is being shown in all matters effecting us. Taft has come and gone. Fairbanks was with us. Truly the West is to be the battle ground of the next national campaign if the signs count for anything. Let us make a forecast of the future. The nominee of the Republican party, if it is Taft, will have been made acceptable to colored voters by some act of the president which will be equivalent to a recanting of his position on the colored soldiers who were dismissed from the army. If it is not Taft, the nominee will be a dark horse. Senator Foraker is our friend and is all right, so far as we are concerned. But the day has not yet come when a pronounced Negrophile can win office in this country. The Negroes themselves are not political enough to make their friendliness. A Lively Squirrel. An old negro who lives in the country came into town and saw an electric fan for the first time in his life. The whirling object at once attracted his attention, and, after intently gazing at it for several minutes, showing all the while the greatest astonishment and curiosity, he turned to the proprietor of the shop and said: "Say boss, dat suttenly is a lively squirrel you got in dis yeah cage. But he's shorely goin' to bus' his heart ef he keep on makin' dem resolutions so fas'."—Harper's. "The greatest thing," says some one, "a man can do for his Heavenly Father is to be kind to some of His other children." I wonder how it is that we are not all kinder than we are How much the world needs it! How easily it is done! How instantaneously it acts! How infallibly it is remembered! How superabundantly it pays itself back—for there is no debtor in the world so honorable, so superbly honorable, as love.—Henry Drummond. --- PAGE & Be Kind. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

"I think," he replied, "that I'd rather be lucky in love." After a long silence she said: "Well, I suppose one can't be lucky in love without making somebody else lucky in it at the same time." Then he took her in his arms and wanted to know how she had guessed that he was yearning for her. Something to Be Gained. "Yes, sah, my son Peter has done one to college, sah," was the proud reply. "Going to make a great man of him, eh?" "I dunno how great Peter will done turn out, sah, but I reckon if he stays in dat college long 'nuff he'll come home and be able to tell a pullet from a rooster in de darkest night and not make so many mistakes."—Chicago Cews Ohio's Mound Exhibit. The Ohio exhibit in the anthropological building at the world's fair is composed of relics taken from the mounds of the mound builders in the southern part of the state. In the display is a collection of beads made from shark's teeth, beads of fresh water pearls and gorgets of human jaws, and copper ornaments, pipes and bone fishhooks in all stages of manufacture. The exhibit has never been shown before. A great saving of time and help to children in dressing may be had by sewing a tape to pass under the foot of knit underwear. It makes it easy for small children to pull on their own stockings and helps older ones dress quickly. To Make Them Useful.

The presence in this country of the distinguished Dutch novelist, Maarten Maartens, recalls the story of his election in the spring of 1895 as an honorary members of the Author's club of New York. When the name Joost Marius M. Van der Poorten Schwartz came to the attention of the membership committee there was a gasp of astonishment. Finally the late Bill Nye came to the rescue with the suggestion that the first half of the name should be acted on at once but that the last half should be held over until the autumn when the weather would be cool.

It is said that during the construction of the Panama railroad for every life laid a human life was given up, but his is one of those romantic lies which everybody likes to read but few believe. There were, indeed, a great many deaths; some caused by legitimate disease and some by careless living, and many by drinking a native beverage called iron. This latter liquor is made from sugar-cane, and it is such a drink that a Scotch highball is pink lemonade alongside of it. Taken in small quantities, it presents malaria, but taken in copius raughts, as some men use it, it produces life everlasting.—The National. TEACHING YOUTH OF EGYPT. Koran an Important Part of System of Education. In the acquistion of the Egyptian boy's education, the Koran plays the most important part; it is, in fact, the foundation of all instruction given. It must, first of all, be committed to memory; and the pupil is taught to read and write each portion as fast as it is memorized. As a mental stimulus—in the case of juvenile scholars—a palm branch, judiciously administered, may take the place of our more familiar birch rod. While the majority of the students do not pursue their studies more than five or six years, yet many remain much longer, fitting themselves for the duties of doctor lawyer or ruler of their countrymen. No boy may be admitted before the age of 8, but, on the other hand, advanced age is no bar to entrance; so, if it pleases him, the man of mature years may con his tasks beside a youthful classmate. As a rule, it is only the boy of the upper class who is able to avail himself of a prolonged course of study. The poor boy must early in life take up the struggle for existence.—Four-Track News. IDIOT STRONG ON FIGURES. Mentally Unbalanced, but Can Outdistance Reliable Calculators. Before a Hamburg Medical society "a perfect idiot" was produced who is able, it is said, to outdistance the most reliable calculator in the world. He is twenty-five years old, of good physique, but mentally unbaanced. For the benefit of the doctors he multiplied and subtracted three, four, five and six figure example without the least difficulty and with absolute accuracy. Questioned as to the day of certain dates during the past year or past century, he answered after a few moments' reflection, counting in the leap years. As an adding machine he does wonders, but in all other respects he has no sense whatever. His greatest delight is to hoe potatoes and count them, 1,133 in a sack. He is a member of an insane fraternity of 1,200, and spends his time going from one to the other, congratulating him or her on their birthday, or nameday, all of which he keeps in his head. Female Labor in Mexico. The question of female labor is becoming a factor in the business life of the City of Mexico, as well as in some of the other large cities of Mexico. Only a few years ago this labor was almost unknown in offices and stores, but every year the number is becoming larger. The wages paid to the young women are not as yet very large, but the prospects are that as they become more efficient wages will rise. Club for the Lonely. Those who have no friends in London and complain of its great loneliness now have a club all to them selves. The new organization is called the Eligible Social club. Its object is to bring together men and women who are lonely. A vocalist and a playwright have applied for membership. Englishman's Crificism. An observant Englishman who has been making a study of the American woman and her defects says that instead of the nasal twang, with which the American woman is credited, he found that they speak in drawling, dragging tones, due to a lazy, careless management of the voice. PAGE 9. Jews at Their Wailing Place. Matilde Serao, the Italian writer, thus describes the wailing place of the Jews in Jerusalem, at the one remaining wall of Solomon's temple: "In the cold open air, in a narrow, filthy alley, their feet in the mire, they kiss these stones and weep over them in the presence of a crowd of unfeeling onlookers, Turks and Christians. They endeavor to stifle their sobs, but, none the less, the air is filled with the sound of their wailing and with the rhythm of their sighs. Phlegmatic English tourists watch them through their eyeglasses, and when I was last there an impertinent, obstinate old lady, riding donkey-back, insisted upon inspecting the entire line, thereby greatly disturbing their piteous lament." Bank of England. The Bank of England, known all over the world as the Old Lady of Threadneedle street, as the Treasury at Washington is known as Uncle Sam's Pocketbook, was founded by a Scotchman in 1694, and is in a class by itself. Its capital is $72,765,000, its reserve $15,627,365, and the gold and silver coin and bullion in its vaults amount to $189,600,000. The Bank of England is purely a business bank, and any one who keeps his account there is O. K. But besides being purely a business institution it is John Bull's repository and depository. A Warning. The college washerwoman (with a deprecating glance at the Queen Louise over the mantel)—I don't nebear say nothin' to the gentlemin about de com'ny dey keeps, Mr. Roger; no, sir, dat ain't my way, 'cause it's none ob my bisness. But seein' it's your first year here an' your feelin' new to the place, I consider it my duty to tell you that you ain't the only feller that girl has giv her picter to, kas Ise seen the same one in five or six sittin' rooms already.—Exchange. The Ocean Family. In school one day the teacher was having the geography class up front for recitation. On the wall was a map to which the teacher was pointing and asking questions. Pointing to the Antarctic ocean, she asked one little boy what it was and he answered. "Antarctic ocean." Pointing to the Arctic ocean she asked another little boy what that was. He thought awhile and then said: "I don't know, teacher, unless its the Uncle Arctic ocean." Mark Twain on Etiquette. Mark Twain" at a dinner in New York talked on etiquette. "I once read a book of etiquette," he said, "and I still remember many of the rules. The most important rules were these: "How to accept a proffered cigar—Slip the right hand into the box, draw forth two, place one absently in the upper pocket of the vest, insert the other between the lips and look inquiringly around for a light. "How to leave a room properly Open the door, place one foot over the sill, follow it up closely with the other and then, turning slightly, shut the door. "How to accept a dinner invitation Eat a light breakfast and no lunch. Eat a light breakfast and no lunch. "How to accept an invitation to drink—Look careless. Say, 'Don't care if I do,' and fix the gaze on the other side of the room while the liquor is being poured into the glass. This will assure you a full portion."
