FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN Stake Historian & New Ural History Society Will Knight Mask Ball First Prize Oct. 23rd Set of Parlor Furniture EAST TURNER HALL MANY OTHER PRIZES REV. WARD TAKES CHARGE NINETEENTH YEAR Will K EAST TURNER HA REV. WAR TAKE Sunday night, as has been the usual custom of Shorter's congregation to fill the church witnessed the initial sermon of the new pastor. He spoke well, yet so simply and forcibly as to make all understand that Jesus died for us and impress upon their souls the plea of salvation. The audience listened with rapt attention as the new pastor delivered his message. Rev. Ward is a man of few words, a very close observer and, judging from the royal welcome he received Wednesday night and the great effect of the deep impression he made Sunday, Shorter will have a very prosperous year in every respect. All the societies of the church welcomed him and such a good feeling was shown him and unlimited courtesy to his family that the reverend felt completely at home. From all that could be heard and seen Rev. Ward will have a bigger church because of the expected increase, a busier congregation because of increased business and accomplishment of all the various societies and a better gathering because of the exemplary lines and moral betterment of the membership and friends. The Statesman welcomes you, Reverend, and sincerely wishes you a harmonious stay during your pastorate here, believing you will speak by both your achievements and words. Rev. Ward has two sons and a daughter, besides a most estimable wife. The elder of the boys is a High school graduate and will enter Denver University soon, and the other will enter the high school. DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY OCTOBER 18, 1907 PLEASANT HOUR CLUB. The Pleasant Hour Club, of the Peoples Presbyterian church, met at its usual time after choir practice. Business was attended to and a dainty lunch served. The club was entertained by speeches from Mr. Moffatt, Mr. Graham, Mr. and Mrs. Crook, all delegates here to the B. L. T. P. V. convention. Their speeches were very interesting. A program will be rendered at their next meeting, consisting of an instrumental solo by Mrs. Mamie Anderson, recitation by Lulu Hall, solo by Mr. Fields, select reading by Grace Cole. COLORADO SPRINGS Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Green delightfully entertained Wednesday evening complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. Owens, of Los Angeles, Calif. The cozy parlors were beautifully decorated in boughs of autumn leaves. Miss Roberts, of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Owens, of Los Angeles, rendered choice instrumental and vocal selections. Those invited to meet the distinguished guest of honor were Messrs. and Mesdames Perkins, Booze, Emery, Brookings, R. B. Fleming, Mrs. Geo. Chadwell, Misses DePriest, Richardson, Howell Roberts, of Los Angeles; Edith Earl, Messrs. Jackson, Carson, Howell, Simpson and French. Indeed it is seldom that a social function has been so perfect in every detail and thoroughly enjoyable. Mrs. Julia Emery assisted the ladies in serving ice cream and cake. The Eureka Literary Society had an excellent program Tuesday night. A full house enjoyed the numbers. FATHER RICE SERIOUSLY ILL Rev. S. Rice has been quite ill during the past few weeks, much to the alarm of his host of friends. Father Rice, as he is best known, is a central figure in the religious and business affairs of Colorado Springs. He has served his church faithfully as a pastor, but now being superanuated, is held in high esteem and great regard by all who know him. Standing, as he does, on the threshold of his 88th birthday, his host of friends are praying that he may be spared. His loss to this community would be an irreparable one. He has always been a great factor in the political held by the Negro here were given after earnest solicitations on his part. His stalwart and upright Christian character has made him loved by everybody. He is no doubt one of the oldest tax-payers in this county of our race. Many out-of-town friends are pouring in the city to see him. Mrs. Rice, his affable and devoted wife, is constantly at his bedside and we hope for Father Rice a speedy recovery to his former strength and vitality. COMMONWEALTH IS BEST. Dunbar Assembly alone voted in 127 new members last Friday night. This was two weeks' work by their loyal members, assisted by the agents. The members of the Commonwealth are responsible for its great growth as they are constantly boosting it. They certainly do appreciate the beautiful prizes offered by the management for securing new members. One member has sent in the names of 11 people, who have become members in the last two weeks. Of the 127 members who became members 29 were from other companies. The reason is not far to seek, it is be- FIVE CENTS A COPY Oct. 23rd Y OTHER PRIZES RICE OUSLY ILL cause the Commonwealth has gained the name of being the fairest.

DENVER MAN CHOSEN The Building Laborers' convention for this country and Canada is a thing of the past and out of it Denver has come with much glory. First of all, the visiting delegates are unanimous that there was never so much real enjoyment at a national convention nor such intense friendliness and appreciation from the public. The first public appearance at the People's Presgyterian church being a memorial service dedicated to the memory of the deceased brethren, was a tremendous gathering and Rev. Cole rose to the occasion and de livered a powerful address. Then there were memorial leaflets which members have treasured up, partaking of the nature of the occasion. The public entertainment tendered by the local union was a hummer. But it was in the election that Denver scored a big hit, for our own Tilford McAllister, president of the local union, was chosen as second vice president with all the western territory under his control at a liberal salary. It was truly a great gathering. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. The correct statement of the condition and solidity of The Colorado Mutual Benefit Association is on page 5 of this edition.—Adv.

States, JUVENILE DEPRAVITY IN ITALY Criminal Parents and Wretched Homes Chiefly to Blame. Consul Brittain of Kehl, Germany, furnishes some startling statistics on juvenile crime tn Italy, taken from an article recently published and written by Lino Ferriani. He says that 80 per cent of the child criminals of Italy are manufactured by bad environment and inadequate education—in other words, by preventable causes; that 30 per cent of the criminals of the coun- try are minors, and of these 85 per cent are thieves. Prof. Ferriani protests against sen- timental description, but pleads for scientific investigation. He has close ly studied 500 boy prisoners between the ages of 11 and 1, and reports that more than half of them came from the most wretched homes, and over 200 had criminal parents. Very few had ever done any work, all were sex- ually corrupt, nearly all smoked, and many had a taste for alcohol As a proof of how little good is et fected by mere instruction apart from moral training, he asserts that the best scholars were among the worst offenders. As an alternative to prison the author proposes agricultural col onies in districts where the alr is bracing, with good food and outdoor work, kindly discipline, and the super vision of an experienced physician Worth of the Whipping. A farmer, whose fruit orchards bad been very often robbed. caught a boy up one of his trees “Come down, you young rascal!" shouted the owner “No fear; not while you're there,” replied the urchin “Well, I'll wait till you do.” “All right,” sald the lad. They had waited about an hour, when an idea occurred to the boy. Snatching an apple, he took a steady aim, and hit the old farmer on the head with it “Hullo, what's up now?" “It's just this, I'm gaun to keep peltin’ il] every apple's off the tree un- less ye promise not to touch me, for if I'm gaun to get a hidin’ ['m gaun to have me sport for it.

Church services were interesting a usual at the A. M. E. church. Rev Prince filled the pulpit at 11 o'clock a. m., also at 7:30 p. m. Owing to the many cases of fever the audience was somewhat small at both services, but Rev. Prince did not feel to excuse himself because of the few in number, and at each service delivered an able and soul stirring sermon. Birthplace Unappreciative. Having made $5,000,000 in 40 years in the United States, Abraham Rebbann returned to his native village of piez, Switzerland, intending to stay here the remainder of his days.

A remarkable phenomena in connection with the digestive powers of big snakes has been observed. It seems that the gastric juices of their stomachs are so powerful that they dissolve even the bones and teeth of the animals they have swallowed. A peculiar fact is that, on occasions when the snake has accidentally swallowed one of its own teeth, the tooth will be found undigested; whereas, the teeth of its prey always disappear in the snake's digestive process.

There are governments where the printing of the news without comments and in the most colorless way is an offence that cannot be endured. Russia is one of these. That is all which it is necessary to know about Russia in order to be certain that its ruler is conscious of a weakness in the substructure of his throne. Learning.

Difference Between the Maiden of Seventeen and Thirty-five. At 17 she said: "I want a man who is ardent in all of love's ways and whose passionate devotion may never flag. He must be tall and broad-shouldered, and handsome, with dark, flashing, soulful eyes, and, if need be, go to the ends of the world for my sake." At 20 she said: "I want a man who unites the tender sympathies of a woman with the bravery of a lion. I don't mind his being a little dissipated because that always adds a charm. He must be, however, accomplished to the last degree, and capable of any sacrifice for my sake." At 25 she said: "I want a man who unites with an engaging personality a complete knowledge of the world, and if, of necessity, he happens to have a past, he must also have a future; a man to whom I can look up and with whom I can trust myself at all times without the slightest embarrassment." At 30 she said: "I want a man with money. He can have any other attributes a man ought to possess, but he must have money, and the more he has the better I will like it." At 35 she said: "I want a man." An Indorsement. Many years ago there was considerable malaria in Harrisburg, Pa., which was attributed to the waters of the Susquehanna river, which was then the source of the city supply. One of the members of the legislature for that year, upon his return to his constituents, was interviewed concerning the plague. He soon settled the question. "Upon my soul, gentlemen," he declared, "the report of the foulness of the water was a slander on the city of Harrisburg. I absolutely know the water to be perfectly healthful, for during the session I drank the water on two different occasions, and I never experienced any ill effect whatever." THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

Relic of Prince "Charley." Prince Charley's tartan cloak, which he wore during the rebellion in 1745, is now being exhibited in a tailor's window at Pitlochry, Perthshire. TAKE PRIDE IN CAPITAL In Cheyenne the people of Wyoming have a capital which for beauty and progressiveness they may well take pride in. Could the same be said if any of the other aspirants were elected? HAS RESTORED FAMOUS VASE. Two Years' Hard Labor Required to Repair Masterpiece. The 638th fragment of the Francheschi vase has been happily recovered at last. This vase has a singular history. It is beautifully shaped, nearly two feet high, with black figures painted on a red ground, the work of the Athenian artist, Clisiaa. It was broken when it was discovered, in 1844, in a tomb near Chiusi, but Sig. Francheschi succeeded in joining the fragments together, and the restored vase was placed in the museum at Florence. In 1900 one of the attendants, who was a man of violent temper, threw the vase to the ground and smashed it into 638 pieces. It was thought that time the vase was hopelessly done for, but Sig. Francheschi, with marvelous patience, set to work to repair the damage. It took him two years of hard work, but at the end of that time the vase was restored all but one piece, which was missing. The man who took the fragment away has now left it on a table in the museum and Sig. Francheschi as joyfully completed the restoration in the masterpiece of Clisiaa. Look Pleasant. I pity the man with a troubled brow; I pity the girl with a scowl; I pity the people with frowns on their faces. And I pity the dogs that howl. I pity the woman who's tied to a man With children another one bore; I pity her mother who lives in the house, But I pity the children more. I envy the man who is free from all this, Who's home is a refuge from strife; I envy the woman who is wife of this man. And the children that they bring to life. A smile is a blessing; a scowl is a curse; A cross word, a wound that won't heal, So bury your trouble, no matter how hard, And look pleasant, however you feel. Uncle Sam's Apple Crop. There are now in the United States over 200,000,000 fruit-bearing apple trees, producing annually 176,000,000 bushels of apples. In good crop years we export 3,000,000 bushels of apples and consume at home two bushels annually for every adult and child in the country. There are sixteen apple-growing states which produce 147,289, 424 bushels of apples. All the other states together produce only 28,107,802 bushels. New York now stands first with 24,111,257 bushels, Pennsylvania second with 24,060,651 bushels, Ohio third with 20,617,480 bushels, Virginia fourth with 9,835,982 bushels, and Illinois fifth with 9,178,150 bushels. California is fifteenth in the list with 8,488,208 bushels. The taste of men is less morbid in the matter of fiction than that of women, especially of modern women, to whom the plain, direct telling of a story does not appeal, but who prefer the psychology of the soul and the infinite dissection of recondite motives and feelings to dramatic movement. Graphic. Women Inmates of Prison. Out. of every 1,000 prison inmates in the United States, 65 are women. Slow Increase of Population. England's population is increasing at the rate of one per cent a year. PAGE 18. Invented Eau de Cologne. The inventor of eau de cologne was an Italian, Giovanni Farina. Farina offered vainly to sell his recipe for $3,750 in 1903, but a few years ago it was sold by his heirs for $200,000. A Doubtful Bargain. It cost a Baltimore man $47.75 to kiss another man's wife. As no picture of her has been printed it is impossible to say whether he got his money's worth or not. How Times Change. When a boy is little he sneers at the little girl because she is afraid of the dark. When he grows up he's afraid of the girl.—Somerville Journal. Russian Farmers Organize. In Russia there are agricultural organizations of zemstvos, through which large quantities of farming supplies and machinery are produced. Busy Hotel Elevators. At the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York it is estimated that the trips of the elevators cover about 120 miles daily. Nobility at Honest Work. Among the 5,000 car drivers in Vienna there are 400 knights, 50 barons and four counts. How He Reciprocates. A man's best friend is his mother but he is frequently the one who breaks her heart. Results of Ambitions. Most of us are made what we are by the ambitions that we have never realized Region of Simple Near. The Caloosahatchee River people now want the state to build a dyke across the marsh on the lower side of Lake Hispochee to shut off the surplus waters of Lake Okeochoobee — Fernandina (Fla.) Star. Use Pengate Bird as Decoy. The natives of the Keeling islands, in the south seas, make a rather remarkable use of the frigate bird. When captured young this bird is easily trained to act as a decoy for others of its kind. Coldest Time of Day. When the heat of the sun first strikes the earth it first causes the evaporation of a chilling moisture. The coldest period of the day is thus a few minutes after sunrise. A Word from Uncle David. I once knew a man who had such a good opinion of himself that he hated to look in his mirror for fear his reflection would want to break through and shake hands with him. No More a Wandering Minstrel. I am racing homeward with this better, and I am not going away any more.—John Temple Graves in the Atlanta Georgian. Italian Proverb. When the sun shines on thee thou needst not care for the moon.—From the Italian. PAGE 14 M. W. GRAND LODGE, A. F. & A. M.. For Colorado and jurisdiction, meets in Salt Lake, Utah, in August, 1908. E.

KATE LEVELL, Sec. --- It Howls for the Police When Flat of Its Owner Is Invaded. The wave of crime which has been passing over Paris lately and which the police seem quite powerless to prevent has caused the citizens to adopt various devices to protect their homes from invasion by the Apaches. Dogs having proved utterly useless, more than one family has sought protection by placing a stand with a parrot or cockatoo possessing a specially loud squawk just inside their flats—almost everyone in Paris lives in a flat. An electrical engineer, however, has found a phonograph the best possible watchman. He locates it with the megaphone attachment directed to the door and he has wired the hall and arranged batteries so that the moment the door is opened three inches the phonograph gets into action. It begins to bellow "Police! Help! Murder! Thieves!" and it keeps it up until he gets out of bed and turns off the current. His flat is well furnished with plate and other valuables and several attempts have been made to rob it, but no thieves have yet withstood the phonograph bombardment. They run so quickly that they are never caught. Copper in Africa. It is believed by some that the greatest copper industry in the world will be developed in the Tanganyika region, where the properties are of great potential value, and may prove to be one of the greatest factors in carrying civilization into the heart of Africa. Much time is required for developments. Because of the heavy speculation in the shares these may suffer much before the properties become dividend earning. The Bengueles railway cannot well be completed for five years or so, and even the Rhodesia railways extensions are now to require a couple of years ers they can reach the property. Robert Williams is the pioneer and, in a great measure, the organizer of this vast undertaking, one of the most remarkable of modern times. Try This Trick. Two drummers were chatting in a trolley car. "I'll bet you a good five cent cigar," said the first drummer, "that, without saying a word I can make the old boy opposite take out his watch and see what time it is." "I'll take that bet," the other answered. Then the first drummer watched the veteran across the aisle until he caught his eye, when he drew forth his watch and looked at it. The old man, with a thoughtful air, slowly unbuttoned his coat and consulted his own timepiece. "Give me my cigar," said the drummer. "It's the third I've won to-day on this trick. It never fails." Precocious Children. In the world of music we find many instances of boys giving an early indication of a remarkable career. Handel and Mozart each showed a liking for music when young in years, and soon made their mark. Handel began composing a church service for voices and instruments when only nine years old, and before he was 16 he had composed three operas. Mozart began the piano at three, and at seven he taught himself the violin. At nine years of age he visited King land, and on his departure he gave a farewell concert, of which all the symphonies were composed by him self. PITCH TAYLOR AND THAD TAYLOR, PROPS. CHAS.

One of the oddest humane laws in this country is in force in Nevada. In that section of the American desert which lies in Nevada, travelers in distress may flag the limited passenger trains and compel the train crew to give them water to drink. The law makes it a felony to refuse to comply with the traveler's request. Pragmatism in its all-aroundness must consider pluralism. Monism must establish unity, otherwise it is a failure. Pluralism may easily be satisfied with a small number. Pragmatism abjures absolute monism, and also absolute pluralism. Since monism is devoted to one, then pragmatism must be classed with pluralism.—Report of Lecture in Boston Transcript. Lover's Ill-Omened Present. Near the entrance of the cathedral of Seville hangs a patched and painted crocodile, which once served as a princely love token that failed of its mission. In 1260 it was sent by the Sultan of Egypt to a beautiful princess of Spain, who declined a sultor whose first present could scarcely be said to speak of affection. --- ```markdown ``` Beana and Codfish. before we look elsewhere to buy.

A few weeks ago a negro, of Alabama, entering the witness box, said he thought he wouldn't swear. He thought he would just affirm. "Erastus," said the judge, "how is this? A month ago, when you appeared before me you consented readily enough to be sworn. Why is it you will only be affirmed now?" "Well, yo' honah," said Erastus.

ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY Grand Complimentary Benefit and Eighty-eighth Anniversary Banquet In honor of Father S. Rice, of Colorado Springs, a committee consisting of the A. M. E. clergy of Denver and Pueblo will co-operate with the pastor and local committee of Payne chapel, Colorado Springs, to give Father Rice the greatest tribute of love and respect he has even seen in the long years of a useful life devoted to his race. He has served his generation as minister, soldier, and civilian and in each and all of these positions his life has been a benediction to his people. Now, if one grand effort on our part can make him feel that a Godly life and fatherly counsel is appreciated by the younger men among us, and if such appreciation transmitted in tangible form can so relieve his mind and inspire him that he will live to round out 100 years, then we expect to see him enter his centennial year. A banquet will be served in Payne chapel, Colorado Springs, Nov. 20, 1907, at 8 p. m. Some of the leading ministers and laymen of the Colorado conference will make speeches on that occasion, and the public is generally invited. See program later. REV. H. F. BRAY, REV. A. M. WARD, REV.

COLORAD AMERICAN AND FRENCH GIRL Former Will Enjoy Herself Despite Defects in Her Toilet "How do American girls one meets in the streets compare with their French cousins?" echoed Julien Tier-sot, French author, after he had lectured before Mrs. Roosevelt and a company of her friends in the White House, says the New York Press. "Well, the thing which impresses me as most characteristic is the independence of the American girl and the obvious indifference to her general appearance. For instance, I think an American girl would what you call jump into her garments and run downtown if she had anything especial to do. She would not mind if her hair got a little blown or that she looked as if got up in a hurry. Now, a French girl would die rather than appear on the streets unless her hair had been arranged in the latest fashion and her attire was just the correct one for that hour. Always a well-gowned French girl has her hair puffed and curled, and her face is covered with the proper style of veil. Nothing would persuade her to go out until every detail was perfect. The American girl evidently does not attach the same importance to her appearance. She will go out and enjoy herself in spite of defects in her toilets. To the stranger she presents a wholesome and happy if somewhat careless air that is fascinating." How Dalmatian Peasants Live. In the interior of Dalmatia the laborers still live in the old patriarchal fashion. The eldest male rules the household as might some czar; in fact, it is not so many years since he had life and death power over its inmates. When a son weds he brings his wife to his father's house, that the property may remain in the family. There, while he works in the field—for they are peasant farmers, working lands held by hereditary proprietors, almost as might the serfs of Russia—she tends the dwelling. When his guests come she sends out not only for him, but for the patriarch, since he alone can really welcome a visitor and he keeps the keys to the shelf where is stored the gin in which a toast is offered to friendship. Education as an Investment. When one of the greatest financiers of the United States was asked by the widow of a man who had been his secretary how she could invest the $4,000 which her husband had left to her, the financier shook his head, says the World's Work. "Madam," he said, "I can name for you no investment that will give you more than four dollars a week in income from such a sum. To try to do so would be to expose you to danger that you should not run. Put the money in a savings bank. Use what you need of it to pay a six months' course in stenography and I will give you a salary that will net you 20 per cent on your whole capital." Astronomer Returns to England. Sir David Gill, who has been astronomer-royal at the Cape since 1879, resigned his post and returned to England for the New Year.

When Rossetti was a student of art he one day happened to go with some fellow-students to the east end of London. There, at a wharfside inn, he saw an immense canvas on the barroom wall. After laughing at it for some time, and thus provoking the inn-keeper's wrath, the following conversation took place: "Where did you get that picture." "Oh, never mind, young man, where I got it." "What price do you set on it?" "More than you can afford" "Indeed" said Rossetti. "Now, how much?" "Three thousand pounds," replied the innkeeper. At this there was a loud burst of laughter from the young artists. "oD you know how much I would give you for your three-thousand-pound picture?" "How much?" 'asked the innkeeper. "Three pounds," said Rossetti. "Done," said the innkeeper, promptly; and to his amazement and amusement Mr. Rossetti found himself the owner of the colossal daub. Lucky 13. Lucky 18.

He Seldom. Little Walter was told to write a composition containing the word "seldom."

The doctor declares that he has cured people with this elixir when all other remedies have failed. He melts the snow over a slow fire, and then boils the water. Philanthropist's Good Work. William P. Letchworth, the donor of Glen Iris, the magnificent 1,000-acre estate that has been given to New York, is the originator of what is commonly known as the New York system of almshouse construction. It provides different buildings for the sexes, with an administration building in the center, a service building behind it, all joined by a connecting corridor. Because of his friendship for the Indian cause, he was adopted into the Seneca nation and given the name of "Hel-Waye-is-tah," meaning "the man who always does the right thing." --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Origin of "Friday Face." Friday, as a last day, is responsible for the derisive nickname, "Friday face," formerly in common use and applied to sour-visaged persons. The earliest mention of the word occurs in an old comedy entitled "Wily Be guiled," of 1606. "What a Friday faced slave it is. I think in my conscience his face never keeps holiday." And yet "holiday" was originally "holy day," Good Friday being the parapount holy day in the Christian year. Not Such a Fool After All. A well-known surgeon was some what quick-tempered if he found a student exceptionally dull, and on one occasion when he had been more than usually irritated by a student's density asked him how many times he thought a fool could hear a name mentioned without remembering it. "I don't know," replied the student; "how many times could you yourself?" Coal Supply of India. India will eventually control the oriental coal markets. At present Ja an is her only competitor, but Ja an's coal area is only 6,000 square m. with an annual output of 10,000,000 tons. India's present output is not so much, but her possibilities as a coal producer are far greater than Ja an's, even including the Fushur mines in Manchuria. She Didn't Understand. A small boy who applied for admission to a New York public school when asked as to his father's business proudly responded: "He's a book maker." That afternoon the teacher asked him to carry home a note which said: "Dear Mr. Blank:—Would you please tell me the cost of rebinding a set of Appleton's Cyclopelia?" Oldest Ships in Service.

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. Denver, Colo., Oct. 11, 1907. The Union Health & Accident, Co. Gentlemen: I am in receipt of your recent claim for sickness. This is the second claim I have had against your company and I desire to express my appreciation for the prompt settlement and liberal adjustment. I can heartily recommend the company to anyone desiring insurance. JOHN L. WADDELL. 2402 Marion St. Denver, Colo., Oct. 16, 1907. Union Health & Accident Co. Gentlemen: Your check for $15.00, in settlement of my claim for accidental injuries, just received.

JOHN HUNTER, 957 S. 9th St. Denver, Colo., Oct. 15, 1907. The Union Health & Accident Co. Gentlemen: I take this opportunity to express my thanks in the prompt manner that you paid my claim for sickness, amounting to $26, and I would recommend this company's liberal policy to all who desire protection for accidents and sickness. I have also investigated the company's reliability and find they are one of the strongest companies doing business in the United States. Denver, Colo., Oct. 16, 1907. The Union Health & Accident Co. Gentlemen: In view of the prompt pre-adjustment of my claim for accident, which occurred recently, amounting to $43.35, I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to you for the liberal and satisfactory manner in which you transact your business.

Music lovers had a real treat last Thursday evening when Sain Stewart of Salt Lake gave a recital at East Turner Hall. Mr. Stewart is one of the famous musicians of the country. He enjoys the reputation of performing faster and more perfectly with his left hand than most pianists with their right. Such melody and sweetness as he breathed into well known pieces like the "Lost Hope" has never been the good fortune of a Denver audience to hear. The attendance was far below the standard of the entertainment and the prospect for a return engagement some time this winter is solacing some who regret now not having heard him. He is a singer as well as instrumentalist and makes good at it as well. He is preparing for a tour of the country during the winter months. He has already been over this country more than once and has even gone abroad. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. ..A graded night school will be openedon November 1.

The correct statement of the condition and solidity of The Colorado Mutual Benefit Association is on page 5 of this edition.—Adv. Mr. and Mrs. George Contee celebrated the 25th anniversary of his arrival in Denver from Washington Sunday night at his home on Welton street by entertaining sumptuously. The social set of which they are members embraces many of the oldest citizens to say nothing of those of influence and cleverness and a royal good time was enjoyed by all. GET THE BEST. One of the most prominent Denver doctors was making a little talk on "Honesty the Best Policy," to a friend, and to make his point, brought up the Commonwealth Life. 'Why,' he said, "I can remember when Harris started the American as it was at first. They would no more than get a member than the falsehoods told him by other agents would drive him off. They kept on going, treating the people honestly and growing day by day, until now, after four years, they claim to have more members in Denver than all the others put together and I believe it is true, for I make out more certificates for them than for all the others. "One of the largest companies claims 500 members and if they have them the Commonwealth has 1,500, for I make out three times as many blanks for the latter as for the former. "Of course, you will say that it wasn't all honest treatment, but a little better treatment than the other companies give. I must admit that the Commonwealth does treat their members better; they pay benefits every seven days while the members ar sick, which the other companies don't do; they give a death benefit, larger sick benefits for the same money and grace in the payment of dues, but their honesty is what wins for them. 'Honesty is the best policy.'" Colorado Springs continued Mrs. Julia Reed and daughter Myrtle spent a few days this week Rev. and Mrs. Tillman made many friends while here and spent an active and useful three years. Rev. Tillman is a Christian scholar and has been our brother and pastor. Mrs. Tillman was an ideal minister's wife, a faithful Christian worker; a highly educated race woman. And we found in her all that could be hoped for. We say, "Good-by with regret."

A LEMON Oct.23'07 THE WOMEN'S HAIR 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M.

THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. There is a growing demand at lucrative salaries in all sections of the country, and especially in the South, for young men train in agriculture. The demand for the graduates from this department of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is so far in excess of the supply that we are offering special inducements to graduates of other schools, and persons sufficiently advanced in the academic branches to come here and pursue the courses in agriculture, including practical farm work, dairying, livestock raising, etc. An opportunity will be given a few earnest young men to work out all of their board while taking a course. Those interested can secure full information by addressing She NOT SUCCESSFUL IN HIGH ART. Fence and House Painting Suggested for Unambitious Youth. A well known art school in Brooklyn has been diligently but vainly trying for several months to make something of a certain young man who has neither a genius for art nor a talent for work. A few days ago the head of the school received a letter from the young man's father, a hard headed, successful business man, saying, among other pertinent things: "I am afraid my son is not cut out for a great painter. I believe that if he had any latent ability you would have brought some of it to the surface by this time. But so far as I know he has thus far painted only one portrait and one landscape. The portrait, I hardly need tell you, is not so life-like that it has to be shaved every other day, though it is presumably that of a man old enough to raise a beard. The landscape is a little better. One feature in it, the fence, is pretty good—so good, indeed, it tempts me to think that, with the right experience, my son might in time become a fairly good journeyman fence painter, and possibly even arrive at last at the dignity of standing on a ladder and spreading the first coat on a house. Under these circumstances, unless you have a department for instruction in fence and house painting, I think it would be better for my son to try some other sort of school for awhile." Emerson Saluted by Swimmers. The following story was told by the Rev. Theodore Williams, late principal of Hackley, Mass., who was acquainted with Ralph Waldo Emerson: A number of boys were swimming in Walden pond, when Emerson was seen approaching. "Oh, there is Emerson," one said, and all scrambled for their hats. When he went by he had to pass a row of naked boys, who were taking off their hats to him. Emerson returned the politeness, as far as his hat went, but retained his apparel. Treasure in Sea's Depths. The Spanish frigate San Pedro, with seven and a half millions of treasure, blew up and sank in Camana bay. The Boston Diving company recovered some of the guns and a part of the treasure, but there is a huge sum left. -Sunday Magazine. How Chinese Use Opium.

He Swallows an Alarm Clock, with Most Unusual Results. While crossing among the South sea islands 30 odd years ago in our private yacht, the Haute Flyer, we were much annoyed by a large Irish setter shark that persisted in following the ship, says a writer in the Minneapolis Journal. During the night the shark would often climb up on deck and tip over the garbage can. At one time Henry Williams, a sailor before the mast, was bitten on the leg by the brute. He aimed a kick at the brute, who growled, showed his teeth, and sunk his fangs into Williams' limb before leaping over the rail into the sea. One day the cook, annoyed at his alarm clock—which persisted in going off furiously at all hours of the night—threw the timepiece overboard. The shark, always on hand for dainty tidbits from the galley, took the time of day at one gulp. For two days after that we heard the clock going in a muffled way from the interior of the surprised shark, who was often seen with one fin on his head and the other on the pit of his stomach, evidently trying to diagnose his clock case. We were standing on the stern of the ship one evening watching the shark, who was evidently feeling pretty sick. Suddenly the clock went off on him and the sailors, counting the strokes, noticed that it struck 23. When the shark heard this, he turned up and died before our eyes. WAS LOVE'S LABOR LOST. Woman's First Act of Philanthropy Decidedly a Failure. A lady who was recently appointed a visitor to a hospital for children, fearing that poor children failed to receive the same attention bestowed on those of richer parents, paid her first visit to the institution, intending to effect a change. In a ward she found a tiny boy quite alone. He informed her that there was another boy in the wards, but that he was being examined before a clinic. The lady looked around her for evidences of neglect on the part of the attendants. A suit of clothes lay huddled on a chair. Folding them in an orderly manner, she said: "Surely, my dear, these trousers are too long for you by several inches." "Yes'm," replied the boy. "A sin and a shame," cried she, and took a "companion" from her bag. She sat down and cut off the legs of the garment and hemmed the edges. "Now," she said, triumphantly, when the task was complete, "they will fit you better." "The other boy's taller than me," replied the child. "They belong to him." Tremendous! A man who can inherit one fortune, and marry another, and not be absolutely extinguished, is a tremendous fellow.—Puck.

Club ladies made and presented a handsome quilt to the church to be used in the parsonage. Rev. Smith is looking for his family from Cripple Creek soon. D. H. N. The Carnation Art Club entertained the gentlemen last Friday evening at the residence of Mr. J. Price. Cards and dancing were the main features of the evening. Many of the old-fashioned games were indulged in, taking many back to the days gone by. Though the lunch was all that could be desired, it boasted none of the dainties of the modern hostess. Only those present can tell about the "coffee like my mother used to make" and other things. A large tin pail and a sheet were used in place of the conventional finger bowl. When the gentlemen called for tooth picks a small sized broom handle was passed around by the "Busy B," Misses B. Price and B. Newman. A short musical program was rendered as follows: Instrumental solo, "Consolation," Miss Bessie Price; Soprano solo, "Love Me and the World is Mine," Miss Edna Price; baritone solo, "Good-by Sweetheart," Miss Dora Newman. Mrs. P. A. Samlln is visiting in Pocatello. Mr. J. E. Brown has purchased the carpet cleaning works. Mr. Will Casson has returned from Portland after a five months' absence. The many friends of Mrs. Tolbert will be somewhat surprised to learn of her marriage. Those on the sick list this week are Mr. W. Best Turner and Mrs. Fred Rodgers. Mrs. Minnie Wagner has just returned from Portland after a three weeks' visit with relatives and friends. The guests departed at a late hour, after appropriate "stump speeches" by Messrs. T. P. Langon and J. Mapps, in which it was conveyed to all that "it takes the women to do things up brown." Mr. T. M. Brow is able to be out again after a three weeks' illness. His many friends are glad to see him out again. Mrs. Katherine Woodard entertained the members of the C. A. Club and their families in honor of her niece, Miss Eva Brown, Monday evening. Music was furnished during the evening by Prof. Donaldson. As the hands of the clock pointed to 12, Mrs. Woodard invited her guests to the dining room where an elaborate supper had been spread by one of the finest cateresses in the city. After supper dancing was enjoyed by the young people until the wee small hours. Miss Brown has been a visitor in our city for a few short weeks only, but she has found her way into the hearts of all, who know her. She left our little city Tuesday for her home in Lawrence, Kan. Of her we would say: "She came to us a stranger; she left a trusted friend." The Paul Lawrence Dunbar Lyceum is meeting with success with Mr. Best Turner as president. Mr. Turner is one of Boise's promising young men. The birthday party given by Mr. Best Turner in honor of Mr. Chas. H. Wagner, was one of the swellest affairs of the season. An elegant Dutch lunch was served. Those who were present were Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Samules, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Frames, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hurtan, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Wilkins, Miss H. Gudget, Mrs. Ferrell, Mrs. Hanzer, Mrs. E. Upshaw, Mrs. E. D. Washington, Mr. Constay, Mr. D. Bell, Mr. B. Lewis and Prof. Tipp. Music was furnished by Prof. Tipp and others. Tea as a Libation. The Chinese have a curious way of worshiping the statue of Buddha, with their favorite beverage. Into a great bowl of sweetened tea, a statue of the god is placed; women bring their offerings, then taking up some of the tea with a ladle, pour it over the defenseless head of the placid god. From the same ladleful they help themselves, giving a sip to each of their little ones. Mrs. N. Macon of Colorado Springs was in the city last week and visited the Carnation Art Club. Mrs. S.

Bates of Missouri. We hope that he will be as energetic as Rev. Solly was when he was here. A social was given in honor of Rev. Solly's departure. It was a great success, both socially and financially. CRIPPLE CREEK. On last Friday evening Rev. Smith's THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. family as highly entertained at a dinner given by Mrs. Jas.
