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-

cause the Commonwealth has gained the name of being the fairest. Don't take out policies with any insurance because they are the biggest. The New York Life was the biggest, but not the best. It isn't a case of how much money a company has, but how much of it they will pay you. Ask your friends and they will tell you, "the Commonwealth is best."
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.

straight-backed chairs and benches.
when the superintendent ‘arose and,
fmstead of the usual dismissal, an.
nounced: “And now, children, let me
introduce Mr. Smith, who will give us
a short talk.”
Mr. Smith smilingly arose, and after
gazing impressively around the class-
room, began with: “I hardly know

a desperate gleam coming into his
eyes, “if you read that thing to me,

holding one of my hands in your
other one, and have it framed and

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

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.

Russi has decided to found an archæological museum in Sebastopol. The building is to be erected in the style of an old Christian basilica, and to be arranged for three apartments, one devoted to the Greek, one to the Roman and a third to the Byzantine period. The whole project has been instrusted to the management of Grand Duke Alexander Michailovitch.
Where There Is Weakness.
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.
Elizabeth, a little Boston, is 7 this summer. Quite an old now is Elizabeth. "You do not me as well as you did when you two years old," observed her graz mother. "You see, I didn't know anything then, and so, of course, I always did just what any one told me to," repiled Elizabeth.
French Colonies Prosper.
The French colonies on the west coast of Africa are increasing in importance every year, and are receiving zealous attention from the French government. The United States exported to these colonies in 1900 $657, 266 worth, and received therefrom products to the value of $601,165.

It hardly seems possible that Miss Agnes Moran of New York will now give the cold shoulder to her lover because he has been arrested for stealing, in his enleavor to get money enough to enable him to marry her. Such evidences of affection are touching and unusual.

whose passionate devotion may never
feg. Ho 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 sald: “I want a man who
unites the tender sympathies of a
woman with the bravery of a lion. |
don’t mind his being @ little dissipated
because that always adds a charm. He
must be, however, accomplished to the
last degree, and capable of any sacri

At 26 she sald: “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 aleo have a future; a
men to whom I ean look up and with
whom I can trust myself at all times

At 30 she najd: “I want a man with

An Indoreement.
Many years ago there was consider:
able 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 con-
stituents, was interviewed conceruing
the plague. He soon settled the
question. “Upon my soul, gentiemen,”
he declared, “the report of the foul-
ness of the water was a slander on
the city of Harrisburg. 1 absolutely
know the water to be perfe:tly health
ful, for during the seasion | drank the
water on two different occasions, and
1 never experienced any ill effect
whatever.”

HAS RESTORED FAMOUS VASE
Two Years’ Hard Labor Required to
Repair Masterpiece.
The 638th fragment of the Fran-
cheschi vase has been happily re
covered at last. This vase has a
singular history. It {s beautifully
shaped, nearly two feet high, with
black figures painted on a red ground,
the work of the Athenian artist, Clis-
faz, It was broken when it was dis-
covered, in 1844, in a tomb near
Chiusi, but Sig. Francheschi succeed-
ed 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. Fran-
cheschi, 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 re
stored all but one piece, which was
missing. The man who took the frag-
vent away has now left it on a table

I pity her mother who lives in the house,
But I ply the children more

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.

DESORIPTION: Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $5.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented.
We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement. We will also send one nickel plated brass hand pump and two Sampson metal puncture closers on full paid orders (these metal puncture closers to be used in case of intentional knife cuts or heavy gashes). Tires to be returned at OUR expense if for any reason they are not satisfactory on examination.
We are perfectly reliable and money sent to us is as safe as in a bank. Ask your Postmaster, Banker, Express or Freight Agent or the Editor of this paper about us. If you order a pair of these tires, you will find that they will ride easier, run faster, wear better, last longer and look finer than any tire you have ever used or seen at any price. We know that you will be so well pleased that when you want a bicycle you will give us your order. We want you to send us a small trial order at once, hence this remarkable tire offer.

Humane Law of the Desert. 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.

Banauet.
in honor of Fatuer 8S. Rice, of Solu
rado Springs, a committee consisting
of the A. M. E. clergy of Denver anu
Pueblo will co-operate wich the pas
tor and local committee of Paym
chapel, Colorado Springs, to give
Father Rice the greatest tribute o
love and respect he has even seen
in the long years of a useful life de
voted to his race. He has served his
generation as minister, soldiez, anc
civilian and in each and all of these
positions his life has been a benedic-
tion to his people. Now, if one grand
effort on our part can make him fee!
that a Godly life and fatherly counse:
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 i00 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.

AMERICAN AND FRENCH aiAL|
Former Will Enjoy Herself Despite
Defects in Her Tellet.
“How do American girls one meets
in the streets compare with their
French cousins?” echoed Julien Tier-
sot, French author, after he had lec
tured 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 independ-
ence of the American girl and the ob-
vious indifference to her general ap-
Pearance. For instance, I think an
American girl would what you call
jump into her garments and run down-
town if she had anything especial to
do. She would not mind if her hair
got a little blown or that she looked
as !f got up ina 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 de-
tail was perfect. The American girl
evidently does not attach the same
fmportance 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 la
borers 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 prop-
erty 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 of-
fered 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 namé for
you no investment that will give you
more than four dollars a week in in-
come from such a sum. To try to do
80 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.”

Artist the Unwilling Purchase: of
“Work of Art.”
When Rossetti was a student of art
he one day happened to go with some
fellow-students to the east end of Lon-
don. There, at a wharfside inn, he
saw an immense canvas on the bar-
room wall. After laughing at it for
some time, and thus provoking the
inn-keeper’s wrath, the following con-
versation took place:
“Where id 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 (his there was a loud burst of
laughter from the young artists.
“oD you know how much | would
give you for your three-thousand-
pound picture?”
“How much?’ ‘asked the innkeeper.
“Three pounds,” said Rossetti
“Done,” sald the innkeeper, prompt-
ty; and to his amazement and amuse
ment Mr. Rossetti found hirnself the
owner of the colossal daub.

Crigin of “Friday Face.”
Friday, as a cast day, ts resporsible
for the derisive nickname, “Friday
face,” formerly in common use ané
applied to sour-visaged persons. The
earliest mention of the word ovcurs 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
lay,” Good Friday being the para
cunt holy day tn the Clristian year

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.

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.
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."

NOT SUCCESSFUL IN HIGH ART.
for Unambitious Youth.
A well known art school in Brook-
lyn has been diligently but vainly ‘try-
Ing for several months to make some-
thing 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 busmness man, saying,
among other pertinent things:
“Tam 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 por-
trait 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 bet-
ter. One feature in !t, tue 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 sood journeyman
fence painter, and yossibly even ar-
tive at last at the dignity of standing
on a ladder and spreading the first
jcoat on a house. Under these circum-
stances, 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.”
@merson Saluted by Swimmers.
The following story was told by the
Rev. Theodore Williams, late prinel-
pal of Hackley, Mass., who was ac-
quainted 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.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing al! kinds, all qual
ities, 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 be
ing 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

OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG MEN.
There is a growing demand at luc-
rative 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 Nor-
mal and Industrial Institute is so far
in excess of the supply that we are
offering special inducements to gradu-
ates of other schools, and persons suf-
ficiently advanced in the academic
branches to come here and pursue the
courses in agriculture, including prac-
tical farm work, dairying, livestock
raising, etc. An oportunity will be
given a few earnest young men to
work out all of their board while tak-
ing a course.
Those interested can secure full in-
formation by addressing

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."

Rev. Smith has taken up his charge at the A. M. E. church. The parsonage has been papered and a new carpet put down. The C. A. 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.
