REV. WARD AT THE ALLIANCE NINETEENTH YEAR REV. WARI THE The People's Sunday Alliance had one of those large, enthusiastic gatherings as it was wont to experience when located on Curtis street. Nearly all the ministers were out and upon the platform to hear what Rev. Ward had to say. The program was excellent and most appreciatingly enjoyed. In the presence of nearly every member of the Alliance Rev. Ward delivered one of the best heart to heart talks to men (but which applied equally to women) that has been heard in the Alliance for many a day. Stripped of all oratorical flight, all poetic niceties and all eloquent passages, the plain, simple, every-day, matter-of-fact truth came from his lips and penetrated deep into the hearts and minds of the listeners. Announcing himself as a plain preacher and no L. L. D., he immediately plunged into his subject: "Young Men, Be Mighty Because of Your Strength, and Don't Drift." How easily he pictured the way any young man by merely releasing his hold on the oars, could silently but rapidly drift down stream with the current. So forcibly did he paint the word picture of young men drifting in city life and though coming from the farms, they failed to become the tall oaks of the forests. Don't drift into loose companionship and into debt, said the reverend gentleman as he showed how on certain streets in our beautiful city, crowds gather and cluster doing nothing but displaying their fine clothes. Don't drift into debt by taking a day off to make a grand display imitating the weaknesses of others instead of their virtues. Here it was he had the closest attention when he warned the young men not to gamble with cards, in policy, etc., and how innocently the simple social whist games lead to the outer rim of destruction's maddening whirlpool; how the body being full of natural --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 1, 1907 appetites made it easier for young men to drift into habits of drinking opening the door of sin to other crimes and drifting into the loafing habits and acts of impurity. These proved that all habits were innocent and harmless when kept in their proper places, but the abuse was what caused the bitter consequence. Don't drift into imprudent marriages nor become a slave to money received, a very lucid elaboration in which he pointedly showed very lucid elaboration in which he pointedly showed that men were called great because of what they made possible for others. Rev. J. S. Payne then delighted the audience with "Cavalry," which was warmly appreciated. Attention was called that Dec. 18th, being Whittier's birthday, a special program will be prepared. ORGANIZED SENTIMENT Wherever the crystalized sentiment of this country has been given expression in law, it has stood against segregation along race or class lines. What the constitution has said has been endorsed by the separate states and by the people. From time to time there have been sporadic attempts to subvert the spirit of the constitution, but time has worked out the problem for good. Other nationalities have come out of the gloom of oppression right here in this country, religious bigotry has not prevented this nation from doing justice finally, sectionalism died a bloody death in the civil war, and the incident of color and race is not proving a barrier to our upward progress so difficult that we need despair that an equally happy ending is in store for us. If we take the pessimistic view, then emigration, or annihilation. A SURPRISED MESSENGER State Historian & Nat ural History Society TATES IDAY NOVEMBER 1, 1907 A SURPRIS The Forward Fountain U. O. T. R. had a house reception Thursday eve, the 22nd, in honor of their messenger and wife, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Contee. In the absence of the messenger, who was unavoidably detained, Madame Contee, who leaves for winter in California, came for a lion share of response to speeches of appreciation. Chief A. C. Cash and wife were also invited as guests or honor, and responded to urgent requests for speeches. Others who were called on to speak by Toastmaster S. F. Shorts were Miss Lizzie Cowen, I. H. Harper, Mrs. J. E. Travick, Miss Carbett, Mrs. Geo. W. Anderson and Dr. W. A. Jones. A pleasant and profitable evening was spent. The United Order of True Reformers was lauded, Messenger Contee of Forward Fountain highly commended, and A. C. Cash, the state deputy and chief, together with his wife, unstintingly praised. Palatable and abundant refreshments were served and enjoyed by all present. REV. LUCAS SPEAKS. "When you see a cause against which all the powers of the church, laws, culture and wealth are united, there is a cause worth looking into; if there was nothing in it, why should all these mighty institutions be so disturbed about it? And if you find all customs, statutes, learning, creeds, logic, bazaars and currencies are against it, look at it still more searchingly. All of these have always been united against any new conby that sacred society, the occasion science and have always consplred against it, even to the death; let those who are great because others are small—let those who are happy --- FIVE CENTS A COPY SED ESSENGER because others are wretched—those who are rich because others are poor, listen out of their golden security for a crier of a new conscience. His voice foretells a new day," said Demerst Lloyd last April. The same can be said of this old thought now viewed from a different standpoint. The utter simpleness, the easy approach to the solving of the greatest and profoundest Biblical truths by these methods are within the grasp of all. All are kings and queens, nothing is created, nothing destroyed, no death only full fledged life instead of mere existence. These methods teach you, so you yourself can give the how, the when, the why and wherefore of your beautifully lived life every day. Rev. Alzamon Lucas spoke to ten members of the Swastika New Thought Club Wednesday evening at the residence o. Mrs. Lizzie Froman, his theme being, "Philosophy of Limitless Life," was thoroughly and plainly threshed out before that evening class. Questions about the physical, mental, moral and spiritual lethargy and the awakening was so simply illustrated and plainly viewed that the questioner acknowledged the answer of his own questions. Rev. Lucas spent three hours and five minutes explaining his life work. very delicate refreshments were passed, after which the club had an exceptionally unique entertainment that lasted fully one hour. The next meeting was announced to be in two weeks, the exact date and place being yet uncertain. The president, Irene Fife, was warmly congratulated for securing the lecture of this honored reverend. The following enjoyed the treat: Miss Mildred Hatchett, Mesdames Webb, McGuire, Florence Cooper, Froman, Fife and Lizzie Froman; also Prof. McGruder and Attorney Ross. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Chile Welcemee Japanese. In Chile, at any rate, the Japanese fmmigrant is made welcome. The Chilean government offers consider- able inducements to agricultural and fishing immigrants. Forty acres of rich land are given outright to each eettler; 30 more to each son 18 years of age or more; a yoke of oxen, a set of farm implements and $15 a month im cash for the first year. This is re- garded as an excellent inducement to the Japanese farmer to leave his lit- tle farm of something less than an acre and go to Chile. Moreover, a practical monopoly of the entire fish- ing industry of a country having 3,000 miles of coust abounding in splendid Ash, but practically without a fishing class, holds out an additional bait toe people versed in sea fishing. Bell Warne Florists of Danger. ee ee ret Set a, oe ee An electric bell tinkled sharply be elde the florist’s desk. “Frost!” he said, and ran hatless to the green- houses. “The fires had sunk,” the florist explained on his return. “The watchman had faiiex asleep. But for my frost bell I'd have lost hundreds of dollars. Frost bells are now pretty generally used by florists and fruit growers,” he went on. “An electrical contrivance is connected with a ther- mometer and when the mercury falls to a certain point--you regulate this danger point to suit yourself—a bell rings a warning in your house or of- fice. Many a crop of winter fruit and flowers has been saved in the past years or two by the clever little frost dell.” Rebuked His Honor. Heary W. Ely, well known West- fleld (Mass.) lawyer, once defended a man who was on trial for murder. While cross-examining a witness he was interrupted by the judge, who in- formed him that he was unnecessarily using too much of the court’s valuable ¢ime. Turning squarely around Mr. Ely replied: “Your honor, this is not @ question of time, but a question of eternity.” It ts needless to say that Mr. Ely continued the cross-examina ton. PAILED TO IMPRESS STUDENTS. @eod Doctor Soared Too High in His Eloquence. In the days when Homer T. Fuller was at the head of the faculty of the Worcester (Mass.) Polytechnic Instt- tute the students were required to at- tend chapel exercises every morning at 10 o'clock. The good doctor was wont to supplement the usual scrip- ture reading and prayer with such ad- vice and reminiscence as might be of value to ihe lively young men under his care. One morning it was noted thac his aspect was particularly grave, and as he gazed impressively upon his some- what awestruck audience the pro- verbial pin was heard to drop. “Gentlemen,” he said, with his char. acteristic nasal voice, which added to his words a greater solemnity, “I at- tended, yesterday, the funeral of the late John B. Gough, and I wish you might all have been there, that you might be filled with the desire to win the respect of the nation as did this great and good man. Why, gentlemen, the tributes I heard offered were more touching than any I ever heard at the funeral of any living map.” Pandemonium followed, but it ‘s very doubtful if the good doctor knows to this day why.

But I'm determined that my relations shall continue for many years to make trips of mourning to my tomb.” | Wise Cow.

SHERIDAN'S POSITION No Jealousy Up North—Cheyenne the Most Available Candidate for It is the general impression that should Cheyenne be successful in the coming fight for the state capital location that the capital would be located there for all time to come. This impression is not wholly correct. The capital location could be changed at any time by adopting an amendment to the state constitution or by the adoption of a new constitution containing a provision to re-locate the state institutions. Under present conditions Cheyenne is the most available location for the capital when the railroad facilities of the state are considered. It is on the main line of the Union Pacific and on a branch of the Burlington system. It is the only city in the state with any north and south railway connections. Until these conditions change materially, Cheyenne should be retained as the seat of the state capital and this should be done by giving Cheyenne a majority vote at the coming election. The interests of taxpayers generally should be conserved by not imposing upon them the great expense which would be incumbent upon them should the capital location be changed, and it is due the citizens of Cheyenne that assurance be given that there shall be no change in the location and no undue disturbance of conditions there for many years to come. Wyoming has varied and rich resources sufficient for the wealth and prosperity of every community in the state. It is not necessary to build up any section or city by pulling down any other. On the contrary, every portion of the state and every town and city may be built up naturally and by the utilization of its own resources and those surrounding. This part of Wyoming is not jealous of any other part and its people will undoubtedly give their votes towards maintaining present conditions in the matter of the state capital.—Sheridan Enterprise.

A firm of movers-"careful," no doubt—in London publishes the following rather scandalous advertisement: "Why pay rent when you can be moved cheaply, quickly and quietly by & Co.? Estimates free." THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO Shyness of Man. In the opinion of the bishop of Southwell men are so shy that if they have not regularly attended church it is difficult for them to walk up the aisle in a manly way. The novice always feels as if his hands were the color of peonies and the size of carpetbags.—London Globe. "Pilgrim's Progress" on Stage. A dramatic version of Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" has been presented at the Imperial theater, London. The ten scenes, which are said to have been finely staged, were accompanied by old English music, and the whole production was a great success. The Scope of Indigestion. Indigestion is not only the most prevalent of all diseases, but is the most far-reaching in its complications, says Dr. Latson, in Health Culture. In recognition of this fact a brilliant medical man has said: "There is but one disease-indigestion." Needed His Hair Long. In the almshouse of Beaminster, England, is a man whose hair hangs down over his shoulders. The master of the institution explains that he has not had the man's hair cut, because in summer he "travels for a hair restorer." Logical. He (after the refusal)—"Had I been rich, perhaps your answer would have been quite different." She—"Perhaps." He—"But poverty is no crime." She—"Oh, yes, it is—and the punishment is hard labor."-Illustrated Bits. Perry Not to Be Killed. Perry Shrum had the misfortune accidentally to shoot himself through the arm last week, making a very painful wound, but is recovering fast. It would be a hard matter to kill Perry unless you cut his head off and hid it from him.—Mitchell, Ore., Sentinel. American Accent in English. Not only the nasal sounds, but many American phrases are quite common in Suffolk, England, among the farmers and the peasantry, and a stranger passing an afternoon in Woodbridge market might fancy himself in Massachusetts.

The guide pointed out these paintings, saying, “And here you see the por- traits of some of our great statesmen of the past.” “Ah, indeed,” remarked the distin- guished foreigner, admiring Webster's solemn likness, and then, turning around to Henry Clay, he exclaimed, with astonishment in his voice, “But how do you gét the picture of this cigarman here?” g se Brownell Guides LOCATE AND DISTRIBUTE NEW BUSINESS Preacher Bragged Too Much. A farmer in central New York state has in his employ a man named George whose understanding is not very acute. One day as his employer came out to the field where he was working, George hailed him, “Say, Boss, who do you like best, Mr. Gorman or Mr. Carney,” naming two ministers whose churches are in the neighborhood. “Well,” said the farmer, “I couldn't say. I never heard Mr. Gorman preach.” “I don’t like that man Carney,” said George; “he brags too much.

Residents of that lo tality rather resent the sarcastic re marks of certain newspapers which sccasionally poke fun at him for “making clocks” as a recreation when he visits Lakeville. One of Mr. Jer- ome’s admirers says: “Perhaps they talk that way because he generally ‘strikes’ when the hour comes. In any case his ‘hands’ always point in the right direction, he hasn't any ‘wheels’ in his head, his ‘face’ is set against graft and he doesn't go on ‘tick’ when he travels on the railroad.” A New Theora Im an uptown school the teacher in one of the lower grades endeavored to instill a little information into her pupils on the subject of horses and their gaits, and then asked each of them to prepare a brief essay embody- ing some of the facts they had just learned. One of the boys thereupon prepared and turned in the following tucid offering: “Some horses is called paceters. fhey can run faster ‘cause they are powlegged."—Cleveland Plain Dealer, oo we ee ee OS eRa@vue 6 MUTTy when a thought suddenly struck them. “Oh!

[Image of a man wearing a cowboy hat and a suit with a tie]. REV. DR. ALZAMON IRA LUCAS The Man who replied to Senator Tillman in a three and one-half speech in the Howe Hall on October 29th and who will repeat the same address to all the darker races in the near future. PAGE 18 RESOLUTION BY THE PEOPLE'S SUNDAY ALLIANCE OF DENVER, COLO. Whereas, It has been admitted by the trustee manager of the First Baptist church of Denver that Senator Tillman of South Carolina is lecturing under a Christian Endeavor (?) Lyceum, the agent of which misrepresented matters; and. Whereas, At such time of renting the said church, the pastor, Rev. Geo. B. Vosburg, was in Europe, leaving all in trust with Mr. Sperry, the financial agent; and. Whereas, Mr. Sperry, the said agent, together with Rev. Vosburg, did do all in their power, believing the United States senator surely was a Christian man, in questions and persuasions to act a Christian gentleman; and. Whereas, Senator Tillman did wilfully and ungentlemanly abuse the courtesies extended by offensiveness that was deplorable to nearly all present, in giving insult upon insult to a growing race, the true cause of their weakness the thinking and Christian class holding them irresponsible, to pour vituperation upon the sons and daughters of the northern whites of reconstruction days; therefore, be it Resolved, That the People's Sunday Alliance, representing the better element of Negroes in Denver, Colorado, exonerate Mr. Sperry, the financial agent of the First Baptist church, with our prayers for greater spiritual insight when Satan is scheming; send blessings to Rev. Vosburg for his sincere help toward persuading Senator Tillman to become a Christian; commend the fearless action of Rev. H. W. Pinkham in deploring the passions of Southern whites preying upon the weak Negro women; extend our sincere wishes for greater strength to Miss Clara C. Oberdorfer, the white woman who is teaching the whites physical, mental and moral courage of Christianship for her having propounded, as Senator Tillman confessed and could not answer the greatest question to the solution of the Negro problem, to-wit: "White immorality of superior (?) rank upon weak Negro women;" give to Rev. Alzamon Lucas, the first objector, who caused Senator Tillman to utter truth as to the real cause of inability and crime amongst many Negroes, to an audience of absolute silence, our support and prayers for greater work in all races, and to our Senator Tillman, one who has suffered and will continue to suffer by his own vindictiveness, unblushing effrontery and conduct unbecoming a United States senator, our heartfelt, loving, Christian spirit of helpfulness in every sense of the word, for his repentance and true citizenship; appreciate the unbiased report in the Denver Post of October 26th, and the respective editorials in the Colorado Statesman, issue of October 26th; the Denver Republican of October 27th; the Rocky Mountain News of October 28th, and replies of Mr. S. H. Hobson and Mr. Roy E. Handy for countering influences only in the Rocky Mountain News of October 27; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be spread upon the minutes of the aforesaid Alliance and given to the leading papers of Denver and a further request that every publication of note print the following message: "To the Negro of America: "Intelligence cannot be insulted. Consider the source of all things, and that which is not uplifting, inspiring and helpful, allow to pass and look only for the good in all things. Live a Christian life and know that the true intelligent whites of America desire true Citizenship and Peace and Harmony in all Races. Be a Man! Be a woman and Christ will ever be our guide and helper." Respectfully and helpfully submitted by MRS. LIZZIE MERRY FROMAN, MR. J. W.

PAGE 2 Possibly Reason Why Divorce Courts Are Busy. Mr. Macfarland gleaned from some conversation of two colored women which he overheard in the street cars the other day some new light on the divorce question. "I heah you left your husband; that so?" "Yes?" "Why you leave him; did he beat you?" "No." "Was he mean to you?" "No." "Then why did you leave him?" "O. I jees machally los' my taste for him." Not long ago a colored woman here explained to a housekeeping member of congress that although she was married, she did not know the whereabouts of her husband, proceeding to contrast the sedate ways of the rural region from which she had come with the rush and turmoil of this great city, concluding: "You see its mighty hard to keep a husband in this town."—Boston Transcript. It Was His Name. "Hello Well, what do you want? Haven't you ever talked over a telephone before?" The hotel clerk was in the telephone booth, says the Louisville Courler-Journal. "Hello—hello—well, have you found out who you want?—That's better." "What's that name again?" "J. Hominy what? Well, who—" "Spell it again." "J. Hominy E. Frogeye. Well, what do you think of that. Are you sure that's correct?" "All right, I'll see if I can find him." "What do you think that fellow wants? He asked me if a man named J. Hominy E. Frogeye is stopping here." "That's my name," meekly remarked a young man who stood at the desk. After the owner of the exceptional name had concluded his conversation, the clerk recovered sufficiently to ring for a glass of water. Utilizing Light Rays. According to Prof. Redard of Geneva, Switzerland, each of the primary colors has a special and well-defined action on the organism. Red light is an exciting and an irritating agent. It modifies the virulence of certain eruptions and has been used in cases of varioloid. Yellow light seems to have a depressing action while with blue light is obtained a sensation of calm and ease. To apply the anaesthetic method with blue light, the patient is seated on a chair at ten inches from a fifteen candlepower incandescent lamp. The bulb of the lamp is of blue glass and it has a nickeled reflector. The head is covered with a thin blue veil and the patient directs his vision toward the lamp. After a few minutes the subject is found to be in an unconscious state. In this state a tooth can be extracted or other short operation carried out without pain. The effect is not attributed to hypnotism, but to the direct action of the rays upon the nerve centers. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD Those Who Suffer Most. Prosperous men and women are frightened at the possibility of a strike and make their protests heard, but the class that suffers is without influence and dumb. To raise the price of a necessity comes hard upon you and upon us, but only on our pocketbooks. There are others, many thousands, who must pay for dearer coal, not by diminishing their possessions but in the coin of actual pain and even death. Vast, indeed, and terrible is the responsibility that lies upon both parties to a quarrel for which myriads of human beings must pay so dear.—Collier's Weekly. No Fairy Tale. He belonged to the "hic" brigade. He came home late and in disorder. His wife met him with a rolling pin and a tense biceps, ready to strike when the ire was hot. "Shweetheart," he said, "I've been discushin' war at the club. I heard you reading a paper on peace you read before the woman's club. Now (hic) lesh arbitrate thish matter." He thought he was wise. Next morning he was wiser.—Indianapolis Star. First Bachelor General. Gen. John C. Bates, who will be head of the general staff for one brief month, is the first bachelor in the history of the American army to attain this eminence. Always to Be Turned To at Last. A woman thinks that if worse comes to worst she can go on the stage. A man has an idea that after he has failed at everything else he can go to raising chickens. "Why," asked a man to-day, "do you exploit Sam Brouse so much as a fisherman?" He gives us fish.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe.

"Not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others." --- Hot and Cold Baths MEATS Adding Insult to Injury. "Perhaps," remarked the man with literary leanings, "it may be all right in general for the railroad satraps to shut off their pass supply for moral and financial reasons; but it is not excusable if, as a result, the literature of the land is to suffer by their uncalled for action. It is dead wrong to inflict such stuff as this, which I have just received from an official of one of the great railroads of this country which has an outlet from New York: The Good Book says: "Thou shalt not pass." Must skin his wad or hoof it. "Now what do you think of that as a melody of mellifluous measure? Will you please get aboard of the rhythm and the rhyme? Note the general construction. If their railroad was built like their poetry, what sort of business would it do? No, sir, the railroads can hold back their passes, but they mustn't ruin our literature by writing that sort of 'stuff.'" Romance and Reality. The young man had pulled the young woman up the hill on the toboggan, and was amazed to find her moodily silent when they reached the top. "What is wrong?" he asked. "If you had any romance about you, you would have taken advantage of the occasion and the opportunity to say that you would be happy to pull me up the hill of life forever and ever," she sighed. "But last summer when we were boating you said you could think of no brighter future than to drift together adown the stream of life." "I know, dear; but when a man pulls 150 pounds of a girl up a half-mile hill he hasn't enough breath left to say what he thinks. Drifting in a boat gives him more breath, and more time to think, and less laborious work for his arms."--Chicago Tribune. Got Back at Lawyer. The late Gustave C. Reichhelm, the noted analyst and problem composer, of Philadelphia, was a quiet and mild man, with a horror of squabbles, noise and excitement. "Mr. Reichhelm was once dragged out of his peaceful retirement," said a Philadelphia. "He had to go to New York to testify in a libel suit. "In his cross-examination the lawyer for the defense, unaware that he was dealing with a man of Mr. Reichhelm's note, said with a sneer: "I hope it isn't true that you said you were willing to testify for the other side if they would pay you better?" "Oh, no; that isn't true," Mr. Reichhelm answered calmly. "But suppose it had been true—then let me put the same question to you. If you had been offered a bigger fee wouldn't you have been on the other side yourself?" Rough on the Bowarts. If Ananian, who has been deceased for some little time, were now alive, he would, we fancy, hold himself out as an expert witness.—Law Clerk. First English Insane Asylum. First English Insane Asylum. In 1796 William Tuke, a Quaker, opened the first national asylum for the insane in York, England THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Life is ever more than literature. Feeding malice is fostering murder Men differ not so much in their faith as in their phrases. Sin is no more essential to salvation than disease to health. Separations come from setting up your fad as another man's faith. The best time to attend to your neighbor's affairs is in your sleep. When a man falls in love with heav on he learns how he loves this earth. A man is not doing his level best who is content to stay on the same level. Many a man thinks he is on the lookout for evil when he is only looking at evil. The really busy man always has more time than the man who only thinks he is busy. There is always hope for a man so long as he can look at things with the eyes of a child. The man who has only flowers in the garden of his life does not need to build a wall about it. When God hangs his promises on the wall of the heart the devil's plots have no attraction for the eye. ~ Young Folk Deserved. Deserved. "Say, you; what is your claim to admittance?" St. Peter demanded. "Well," the Shade replied, diffidently, "once my new derby hat blew off—" "And I had to chase it a block—" "Go on." "And I didn't say anything." "You come in," St. Peter said, cordially, unbarring the storm door and the inner gate. "Any particular key you would like to have your harp?"—Puck. Evidence of Reckless Bravery.

Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris, has addressed a circular letter to the priests of his diocese in which he declares that he will never permit the tabernacles to be opened for the agents charged with making inventories of church goods and instructs them to declare on their words of honor as priests the number and the value of sacred vessels, but on no account to open the tabernacles.

Commonwealth Life, Denver, Colo.: Gentlemen—Your settlement of $9.00 for my injury received a short time since is entirely satisfactory to me. Everyone would carry sick and accident benefits if they thought they would get their money when disabled, but a great many insurances are not honest. All I can say for the Commonwealth Life is that they have certainly treated me mighty well. Yours respectfully. LENA R. DANIEL, 303 Church St. THE ONLY COMPANY THAT HAS COMPLIED. 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, Oct. 22, 1907. Union Health and Accident Co. Gentlemen: It is always a pleasure to give expression to the faith that is in you. To say that I have faith in The Union Health and Accident Company but mildly expresses my feelings. I am in receipt of your check for $7.15 in settlement of my Denver, Oct. 18, 1907. claim for sickness, which is all that I asked for. Gentlemen, I thank you. Yours truly. MAGGIE HALL. 719 W. 8th Ave. Union Health and Accident Co. Gentlement: Have just received the company's check in settlement of my claim for sickness.

A resident of West End avenue was entertaining several of his friends the other afternoon on the lawn in front of his residence. During the afternoon the conversation turned to the subject of the automobiles, and the host told the party what a fine time he was having with his new machine. “Why, it is simplicity itself to oper- ate it, and”—— “Why, papa, you know you got pinched the other night.” The inter- ruption came from the other end of the veranda, where his small son was sitting. “Johnny, Johnny, come right up here this minute,” called the child's mother from the hallway above. The host then went on to tell the party how he had tried to fix a brok- en part of the machinery some time ago and got his finger pinched. The next day going downtown he met one of his guests of the preceding after: noon on the car and his first words | were: “Do you suppose Miss Blank caught | on last evening?” The young man was not wise, and ‘asked what was the mystery. _ “Why, when Johnny made that break last evening and said that 1 was Pinched. My wife would not have Miss Blank know it for anything. 1 ~as out for a drive, and one of the itghts on the the rear of the automobile went out and before I knew it I was in the toils of the police. It cost me a ten spot, but I would rather lose a $100 bill than to have Miss Blank know It.” New York Telegram. Quoted te a Purpose. The private secretary of the eml- nent statesman dropped a polite note to the rallway magnate, suggesting that the eminent statesman would be pleased to be favored with an aunual pass. But the railway magnate, hav- ing formulated a new policy and also having some wit, returned the applica- tion with a printed slip containing the texts: ‘Suffer not a man to pass,” and “So he pald the fare and went.” “T guess that will hold him,” chuck- led the railway magnate. But the private secretary of the eminent statesman approached a railway magnate who operated a par- allel line, and soon was able to drop a brief note to the first magnate. The brief note consisted of the simple text: “And he passed by on the other side.” Tea as a Libation. The Chinese have a curious way of worshiping the statue of Buddha, with their favorite beverage. Into a Great bow! 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 ores.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all 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 as good”) or referred to “PORO.” We advise you to use only “PORO” Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind).

The Original Hair Growers We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with 6 PORO” TRADE MARK (Registered) In School. A young teacher in one of the pub- Me schools was telling a friend of hers about the humorous answers made by some of her pupils. Here is the an- swer of a bright boy in the geography class: “Tho mariner’s compass was in- vented by a man always pointing to- ward the north.” In another instance the teacher had said to the class: “No matter what the size of a circle, what does it always contain?” She meant, of course, 360 degrees. A boy with an air of wisdom promptly replied: “A hole.” During a physiology lesson another boy, in answer to a question regarding the use of the human trunk, said: The trunk fs that part of your body which keeps you from being legs all the way up to your neck.” The teacher, in distributing pens for @ writing lesson, happened to give one ebild a stub pen. The child walked up to the desk, and, looking varnestly im the teacher's face, sald, gravely: “Please, Miss ——, I can't use this here pen; it’s a substitute pen.”— From the Philadelphia Record. China No Longer “Bunkoed.” The day has passed when unscrupu- lous agents can sell the Chinese gov- ernment defective rifles and cannon of one caliber and ammunition of enother caliber for them; when worn-out ma chinery can be unloaded upon the Chi- nese as the latest and best. and when dwarf locomotives discarded by the New York Elevated railroad can be used to equip a Chinese trunk line, This is all finished. The China of to day has no more use for och ines than has the United States Ee repean or American with a binke game on a big scale might a well rt at home.

Nero grew weary of the bloody com- bats in the arena. “They are getting stale,” he yawned; “if I would avoid ennul I must get something new.” “What shall it te, O illustrious one?” asked the Romin senator. “Well, I think I'll found a naval academy.

Hither- to it has been used in recognition of distinguished military service rather than as a useful or necessary rank in the army. The office may be left un- filled and public sentiment should make it impossible for any president to fill {t on any other ground whatever than that of eminently distinguished service in actual warfare. The rank of Meutenant general of the United States army should be a reward for special distinction in actual military service.

It has cost the owner more than $700,000. “I sometimes wish,” he continued, “that I had studied art.” “What would have been your line, Senator?” he was asked. ~ “Oh, I should have chosen great subjects.

How many persons have ever stopped to notice the steady growth of colored people in positions held in the business places of Denver? Where a few years ago there were a handful in the Daniels & Fisher store, a hundred are employed to-day in all of the larger places and many in the smaller ones. A word about the men who have opened the way would be timely, not alone by way of giving honor where it is due but as well as to encourage others to push out in new directions. These columns will some day soon give sketches of the work done and possibly a hint as to how we may go on to greater things. There is no substitute for work. Argument and theory have a proper place in life, but work, WORK, is man's destiny. Thoughtful students of the condition of the black race in this country have long contended that the defense of our friends and the assaults of our enemies are trifles compared with our own efforts, in the solution of the so-called race problem. No better proof can be adduced right now in this city than the comment upon Tillman, who lectured here last week. Our friends are just as true to us now as before, our enemies are just as unreasonable and the unbiased majority, if anything, ridicule his efforts to talk away our progress, and resent his platitudinous denunciations of us. Two new freeholders per week is an answer to Tillmanism that all his eloquence can not do away with. Good manners, sound morality, and education crowning a structure of honest labor, cannot be uprooted by agitation of any kind. Pueblo, St. Paul—Nov. 3rd, 1907. Colorado Springs—Nov. 10th, 1907.

The American people have stood against segregation of this country into classes along religious or racial lines. They have so expressed themselves in their constitution. They have endorsed this position taken over a year ago, in all their subsequent legislation. They have sealed Walsenburg-Oct. 16th, 1907. ```markdown ``` PAGE & THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO: and ratified it by war. The single exception to this rule is the black American. Prejudice dulls the good sense of the country where he is concerned so that the letter and the spirit of our organic law is overridden by the people. The improving conditions warrant the belief that a solution of the race problem is possible right here in this country. The history of the nation has been that whenever the people have for a time failed to come up to the high ideal they set in the constitution, they have grown into conformity with it. Sectionalism was wiped out by war, religious bigotry went down before good sense, caste founded on wealth is a laughing stock. Why then despair that our problem is incapable of solution where others seemingly as deep-rooted, as wide spread and as unreasonable, have been settled?
