FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society DR. VERNON'S GREAT TALK The Honorable W. T. Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury, spoke in the large auditorium of the Baptist church at Durham, N. C., on the evening of November 26th, 1907, to a crowded house. The meeting was presided over by Dr. James E. Shepard, one of the secretaries of the International Sunday School Union, who is doing special work among the colored people. Among other things he said: "All true Americans regard with extreme satisfaction the preachments and efforts for an era of good feeling on the part of the leaders of the North and the leaders of the South The coming together of the hitherto discordant elements in our body politic can but meet the approval of the patriotic citizens of the American Republic. "While this feeling of charity for all and malice toward none is ever increasing, we must all agree that it should be sufficiently inclusive to embrace the Negro, and that it will never have accomplished its full purpose until he, a necessary part of this republic, is the beneficiary of the same. "If such a spirit is necessary to the rehabilitation of the Southland, and the building up of the Northland as it relates to the American white man with his education, wealth and power how much more imperative it is that the Negro, the weaker race, should be fostered and encouraged in the same way. "The weak look to the strong, the ignorant look to the intelligent--look to them for aid, leadership, light and justice. "Justice unalloyed, justice full and free is that which the constitution guarantees and that which will bring a better day to our country. "The evidences of progress around me, the prosperity of the Negro which I have observed in the South, all convince me that there is here a spirit of mutual helpfulness between the races. This is gratifying and reassuring to those of us who desire this better era. The elimination of selfishness on the part of both races should be sought after. The economic phase of the question should not be confused with the racial phase. "It may be difficult for some to always realize that race prejudice should have no part in business relations. Wherever the Negro makes himself competent and worthy his color should not bar him from remunerative employment and protection of the laws in the performance of his tasks. The better element of the white race should and do look with favor and satisfaction, upon the efforts of the sturdy progressive Negro. He in turn asks and should receive their protection from any his which may be visited upon him because of his race. Feeling secure he will more industriously strive to become a factor for the commercial and industrial uplift of his community. "The sum total of the progress of his locality will be hindered or helped by his individual status. So then, the protection of the laws, the opportunity to thrive should be guaranteed him on the one hand and should be accepted by him on the other. This Continued on page 2 THE UNWRITTEN LAW A FARCE You have read of the case in Virginia where an ex-judge killed his daughter's moral slayer; you have also heard much about the "unwritten law" and its application in the Thaw case of New York. You know in certain parts of the country a man is justified by this law in killing any other man who violates the chasity of a female relative. Some juries have gone so far as to justify a woman for killing a man who has cast aspersion upon her name, and others have justified the killing of a negro for criminal assault upon a white woman or criminal intimacy with such person, with her consent. It remained, however, for Judge Hoffman, of Mobile, Ala., to justify a prosecuting attorney in assaulting a colored school teacher with a chair in the presence of the judge, while court was in session, because he did not answer to suit the inquisiteor. This is the limit, and we would be loth to believe that such actually took place, but for the following press dispatch, which appeared in the New York Tribune of Oct. 7: "Mobile, Ala., Oct. — A dispatch from Brookhaven says that E. N. Bryant, a negro formerly a school teacher in this county, was tried before Justice Hoffman yesterday on a charge of trafficking unlawfully in examination questions prepared by the state superintendent for use in the fall examination of teachers. After hearing the evidence the judge took the case under advisement until next Tuesday. When Bryant took the witness stand in his own defense the manner in which he answered so aggravated P. Z. Jones, counsel for the state, that the latter seized a chair and dealt him a blow on the head. FIVE CENTS A COPY WRITTEN A FARCE The court excused the act of the attorney as being 'entirely justifiable.' When race prejudice becomes so rampant that a judge will overlook the disrespect shown to him, the court's guest, the witness and the law, by an occurrence such as is here reported, it is time for colored people to sit up and take notice. If we are to be put entirely beyond the pale of the law, we had better move or become docile. This school teacher was standing upon his own rights. If he had used insulting language, he should have been fined by the court. The lawyer who struck him ought to be tried and imprisoned. Instead he is applauded by the occupant of the bench, the upholder of law and its majesty! Where race prejudice makes a man so low from the dignity of his office, it is doing him and his race more harm than the man and the race that is wronged. It is simply extending the "unwritten law" to the frenzied point. ENTERTAINS Mr. and Mrs. Robert Buckner and daughter Corinne of Topeka, arrived Tuesday for a visit of a few days. They are en route to Mexico. Their son Dean, who is attending the University at Boulder, spent Thanksgiving vacation with them. They were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Freeman. Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs. Freeman entertained complimentary to Miss Corinne and brother and Mr. Verner B. Scott of Washington, D. C. A large number of handsome and beautifully dressed young ladies and gallant young men enjoyed cards and dancing, after which refreshments and the wee sma' hours warned the merry crowd of the necessary adieus. --- THE STATESMAN.

At the May term of the court at Vinita Charles Boling pleaded guilty before Judge Parker at Sallisaw. He was sentenced to 60 days in the federal jail and to pay a fine of $25, says the Kansas City Journal. He asked to be permitted to stay out of jail and make a crop in order to provide for his family, and Judge Parker granted the request, releasing Boling, who is a Cherokee on a promise to appear at Vinita on December 1 to begin, his sentence. No bond of any kind was required. Boling was waiting at the court house one morning recently when the doors were opened, and is now in jail serving his sentence. He says his crop is gathered and his family is provided for during the winter. Women in Parliament. Protests by women in parliament were not unknown during the Middle Ages. Stow tells us approvingly of "a crew of stout dames" who had the courage in 1428 "to checke a great duke in open parliament." "There was one mistris Stokes," he procuude, "with divers other stout women of London, of good reckoning, well apparrelled, came openly to the upper parliament and delivered letters to the duke of Gloucester, and to the archbishoppes and to other lordes there present, containing matter of rebuke and sharp reprehension of the duke of Gloucester," on account of his treatment of his wife Jaqueline. "But what good successe their labours tooke, my Author reporteth not." It Would Depend. 'What would you say,' he asked, "if I were to propose a trial marriage to you?" "Well," she replied, "a good deal would depend on the amount of almony you were willing to settle on me at the end of the term." Willing American Gulla.

COLORADO. people of Newfoundland Have No Need of Hotels. 6 I need scarcely say there are no hotels on this coast, and consequently no hotel bills. The traveler selects his own house when he enters a settlement, walks in and sits down by the stove. Indeed he scarcely waits for the invitation to "sit in" when the family goes to meals, the people of this coast being much given to hospitality. When night comes on he simply takes off his boots and—stays. It may be he will have to share a bunk with one of the household, or perhaps he has a bed in "the room;" that depends on his social position. If room is short he will turn in on a settle, or simply lie down on the floor. I have slept on a settle under which the hens lived in winter and rested as soundly as on any feather bed, the only inconvenience being that now and again I had to grope after the rooster, which persisted in thinking it was morning long before I did. The first question asked a stranger on his entering a house will not be "What is your business?" It is certain to be "Have you been to tea?" For our national drink is tea, and I drunken man is seldom or never seen. Indeed we have become a prohibition coast.—London Standard. SADDLE OF HUMAN SKIN. Remarkable Object in Possession of Philadelphia Man. Human skin can be prepared, tanned and made into durable articles as successfully as can the skin of horses and other animals. The resulting leather is very much like dogskin or pigskin. William Hansell of Philadelphia has the largest article which has ever been known to be made from human skin—a beautiful pure white saddle—and any one examining it would be at a loss to tell the kind of skin from which it is made. The pores have a familiar look, but the skin itself is of an astonishing thickness. The saddle was made from the skin of a man. A woman's skin, generally speaking, would be too delicate. Human skin leather is a very rare article and there is no general trade in it. Sometimes a physician will have a piece, made into a cover for an instrument case, and occasionally medical students get enough to be made into a purse or a pair of slippers. Patients sometimes have a belt or a book made from a limb which has been amputated. Twain and the Office Boy. In his early days Mark Twain used to take his "copy" round personally to various editors, which gave rise to a rather good story of him told recently. His dislike of office-boys is very great; indeed, if there is a being on earth he cannot tolerate it is the average office-boy. A short time ago he strolled into a big publishing house in New York, and asked to see the editor. "What name shall I give?" asked the office-boy. "Mark Twain." "What's your business!" The pertinent question irritated Mark, but he only smiled sweetly, and said: "Tell the editor I wish to ask his hand in holy matrimony."—Black and White. A.1 Pieces But the Pawn. The archbishop of Canterbury, on one occasion, when addressing the members of a chess club, said that though he "was not a distinguished chess player, he could claim to be a representative of chess in an unusual degree, for he had seen a good deal of kings and queens, had lived in two castles and was the only living man who was both a knight and a bishop, so that he represented all the pieces except the pawn." Hottentot. The origin of this name for the natives of South Africa is peculiar. It is said that the early Dutch soldiers at the Cape of Good Hope particularly noticed the click that forms so distinct a feature of the Kaffir language, which sounded to them like a continuous repetition of the syllables "hot" and "tot." They therefore called the natives Hottentots, the "en" meaning "and" in the Dutch language. Dog Days. Bill—Did you get any frankfurters while you were on your vacation? Jill—No; I asked for 'em several times, but they told me they were out of season. "That's all nonsense! You were away during the dog days, weren't you?"—Yonkers Statesman. A Beat All-Around. "The count's rich wife said he beat her." "His creditors said he did the same thing to them."—Baltimore American Truth from Uncle Ebon. "Don't imagine, son," remarked Uncle Eben, "dat you shows yoh smartness by bein' deceitful. One of de hardest things in de world is to tell nuffin' but de exact truth an' still be good company."

Landor, who has been suffering with intestinal catarrh the past few weeks, is recovering. Mrs. Baker, accompanied by her son Philip, took her departure last week for Anaconda, Mont., where she will join her husband, Rev. Baker, who is stationed there. Mrs. Baker will be greatly missed from our community and the best wishes of many friends go with her to her new field of labor. Mrs. Elnora Taylor is quite ill at this writing. Mr. Chas. Lucas is making an addition to his already spacious residence on Twentieth street. Many modern improvements are being made which adds greatly to the appearance and also the comfort of his home. Mr. Wm. Prince of Coin, Iowa, spent several days of last week at the home of his cousin, Mrs. E. F. Landor. While in the city Mr. Prince was entertained at dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Smith. Other guests present were: Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Landor and Mr. Orlandor Gaskin. The sumptuous repast was charmingly served by the Misses Mae and Lucie Smith, the attractive daughters of the host and hostess. Under the pastorate of Rev. Jones, Allen's A. M. E. church of our city is prospering in every particular as never before. Rev. Jones, the right man in the right place, who having already won the confidence of his church and congregation by his earnestness and sincerity in well-doing, is pushing the work of the church along to victory. Mrs. Jones, his estimable wife, is a worthy helpmate. Mr. Ollie Brown was the host at a pleasant theatre party one evening last week, given in honor of his cousin, Mr. Prince of Coin, Iowa. Too much cannot be said in commendation of the Women's Searchlight Club of this city. At an entertainment given by them two weeks ago for the purpose of purchasing new chairs for the altar in Allen's chapel, the sum of $53 was cleared in the one evening. The entertainment was a supper served from booths, many of the booths containing aprons and other articles for sale. The success of the affair is due to the careful management of its president, Mrs. J. E. Smith. The members of the Stewardess' Board are preparing to serve an elaborate dinner Thanksgiving Day. Meals will be served from 12 o'clock noon THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. until 12 o'clock night and an enjoyable time is anticipated. Mrs. H. C. Jefferson was the charming hostess at the regular meeting of the Searchlight Club Thursday of last week. At this meeting occurred the election of the officers of this club for the ensuing year. Those elected to office were: President, Mrs. H. C. Jefferson; vice-president, Mrs. J. A. Baker; secretary, Miss Eva B. Hopkins; assistant secretary, Mrs. J. E. Smith; treasurer, Mrs. Wm. Redd; chairman of Program committee, Mrs. Wm. Ashford; critic, Mrs. Eva Hopkins. Like many other woman's clubs, the Afro-American Woman's Searchlight Club of Cheyenne, Wyo., is composed of women whose principles as Christian women are broad-minded, fair, without envy or malice, and who by their every deed and action, are bearing out the noble precept in their federation motto, "Lifting As We Climb," to its fullest extent. We take great pleasure in making special mention of these qualities which we have by observation found to be proven, tried and true in two of the newly-elected officers holding the offices of greatest responsibility. Mrs. H. C. Jefferson, newly-elected president, and Mrs. Wm. Ashford, re-elected chairman of Program committee. With these efficient, worthy and unprejudiced leaders, sustained by their assistants, Mrs. J. A. Baker, vice-president, and Mrs. Dewese, ably assisting the chairman of the Program committee, the Woman's Searchlight Club will, without the shadow of doubt, surpass all of its previous records along all lines of work, and prove themselves individually, as well as collectively, followers of Him who was without envy or guile, and who set the example of "In honor prefer ye one another."

Wide Acquaintance Made by Captains of Ocean Liners. "Cornellius Vanderbilt said to me and Andrew Carnegie that George Gould and John D. Rockefeller Jr. backed him up—" The speaker, a man robust and brown, had a loud, hale voice, and from every table in the little cafe inquisitive eyes were turned on him, for the names he had used were names to conjure with. "Take William Waldorf Astor, for instance," he said a little later. "He wouldn't wear a French shoe." For an hour this man remained in the cafe and during that hour the occupants of other tables heard from him detached sentences like: "Bernhardt told me she liked Gorgonzola, though I—" "The Duke of Newcastle and I played bridge." "Henry Irving and Miss Pauline Astor gave me that in memory—" "I told Kipling he couldn't write like—" "Calve and I were looking at the sunset when the Duchess of Marlborough joined us." "Pierpont Morgan asked John S. Sargent to sketch me and give the sketch to—" "Prince Henry sat on my right, and Lord Charles Beresford—" Finally the man withdrew. After he had gone a reporter asked the head waiter who on earth he was. "Why," the head waiter answered, "that is Captain Dash of the liner Blank, that broke the record last month. You were amazed, I suppose, at the multitude of distinguished friends he has. Well, you needn't be amazed. He has all those friends and more also. You'll find as you grow older that the captains of the biggest and most popular trans-Atlantic liners know well all, nearly all, the famous people in the world. There is no one who has such a magnificent list of friends as one of these captains." Engineer Jurgensen explained: "When the air is first drawn into the building and subjected to a preliminary filtering, it is, of course, of the same tempera re as the open atmosphere. Having , assed through the first filter, it is cooled and blown between the heated coils and thence into this steam room. Here it acquires—or, rather, reacquires—the humidity or moisture which was filtered out simultaneously with the dust microbes, and other foreign particles. To that extent the air is artificial, but as the most necessary ingredient of air is oxygen and a certain humidity, we believe that our guests breathe the best air that it is possible to furnish in New York." By special permission a sample of the dust gathered from the St. Regis filters and spread thinly on a plate four inches in diameter has been subjected to a chemical and miscroscopic analysis by the Department of Health. This is what the St. Regis guest escapes when he breathes in an atmosphere that has been specially combed, washed and dried: Five bacteria germs, of which three were com- mon bacteria; one an incipient tubercle bacillus, and one a common influenza germ; three-quarters carbon, and several metallic and vegetable particles, so fine as to be almost invisible to the naked eye.—New York Times. Two Homes. My home was in the island that we love set in the seas. The heaven alternate smiles and frowns above; The stately trees Beset the hedgerows, and the fields are gay With blossom-store; While still the gray sea washes, night and day. The white cliffed shore. My home is in the solemn, wide Karoo, The boundless veld, Spanned o'er with infinite dome of stainless blue, Here have I dwelt Until the giant hills, the arid plain Of sand and stone, The thorny bush, a thirst for tarrying rain Are homelike grown. Sometimes my heart looks back, and yearning cries To seek once more The fragrant hedgerows and the changing skies, The lanes of yore, And then the wide, wide veld far stretched below The high, blue dome, Holds me with mighty arms, and whispers, "Lo! I am thy home." —Anna Howarth, in the Spectator. Respect for Age in Japan. In Japan there is no such thing as disrespect from youth to age. No Japanese boy or girl could ever think in a light or disrespectful manner of his or her superiors or teachers; and this may account for the earnestness so unusual among young children. When a student enters a master's presence in Japan he bows to the floor, and when the lesson is finished he bows again, with expressions of the deepest gratitude, as he takes his departure. The teacher, sitting in most cases upon his feet on the floor, gravelly returns each salutation, then lights his little pipe and waits for his next class. There is no hurrying of masters from room to room, as in some of the schools in our enlightened land. At Bacon Ridge. "So Silas Ryetop went to the circus?" "Yes, by hen!

"That must have made him furious." "But wait until the worst comes. They found the freak pictures, and the local paper stated that 'the suspect had a pocketful of family photographs.'"—New York Telegraph Mexico's CJI Fire.

KATE LEVELL, Sec. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Met Henry W. Savage the other day, and accumulated the following quite characteristic story of George Ade. As of course you know, Mr. Savage produced "The Sultan of Sulu," "Peggy from Paris" and other comic opras of which Mr. Ade's prolific pen was the proud progenitor, and he was urging the Hoosier librettist to write another musical comedy for the Savage office. "Can't do it, governor," cried Mr. Ade, shaking his head, gloomily; "can't do it; I can't write lyrics to save my immortal soul." "You can't write lyrics?" echoed the tall manager. "Well I'd like to know what's the matter with 'R-em-o-r-s-e.'" "Great Sulu's Sultan!" wailed Ade, grimly; "R-e-m-o-r-s-e wasn't a lyric; it was autobiography." Repose. The most beautiful thing about the New York clubman is his repose. If you want to be a successful clubman cultivate repose. Eat, drink, think and dream repose. Never hurry. Never get excited. Talk deliberately and mysteriously. Let your eyes droop. Never appear interested in anything. Make believe you have seen whatever of life that's fit or unfit to print and are looking only for rest. Let nothing surprise you. Appear bored. Avoid introductions. Be "at home" to nobody. Keep your hat on. Never shake hands.—New York Press. Weaving Done by Nature. As a weaver nature produces fine work. Certain tree barks and leaves furnish excellent cloth, as, for instance, the famous tapa cloth used in the South Sea islands. Nature is a glassmaker, too, according to the Indian Review. By discharging her lightning into beds of quartz sand she forms exquisite little pipes of glass. She makes valuable ropes of various kinds in the shape of tropical vines and creepers. Busy Meanwhile. "Lost your temper, eh?" said the father, sternly. "Didn't I tell you if any of the other boys ever said anything to make you angry, you should count 50 before you replied?" "Yes, sir," replied the husky boy. But I didn't get time to count 50. Before I counted 20 the other feller yelled 'Enough.'"—Philadelphia Press. Practical. "What did she say when she heard he was dead in love with her?" "She wanted to know if he carried any life insurance." "Chapped" Hand Caused Death. An inquest was held recently in London on a woman who died from blood poisoning caused by the infection of a "chapped" hand. Test of Greatness.

FLORENCE WALTON, Sec. Lock Your Jag In the Bottle str Satie Ns iors Dee re eet ig ob oS 8 Large locked corks, original in de sign, are being shown in the shops for Christmas presents. All of them have about as much silver, or nickel, as cork, but they fit in the average sized whisky bottle all right, and are really a decoration. Small Yale keys, only one for each cock, lock the bot tle as tight as an office safe. If a man dcesn’t happen to leave his bunch of keys lying around loose his whisky is perfectly safe from purloining serv. ants. If he loses his keys he must break the neck of the bottle to get at his tipple. No duplicate key can be made for him. If a man prefers a certain blend of whisky, Scotch or American, he can leave it on his sideboard at home or take it to his club to be called for when vequired. Most club men would find this plan a great economy. How Pearls Are Formed. _ Pearls it seems Are oyster annoy- ances and monsters. They are mal formations caused by some foreign substance finding entrance to the shell and irritating tte oyster to such an extent that he exudes a liquid which eventually hardens and be comes a precious pearl. The pearls are always near the shells and can be Squeezed out of the tlesh with the fin- gers. Sometimes thev are found loose in the shell and at cther times they are attached. If loose the chances are that they may fall out, hence good pearl hunters search the stream bed and even dig up the dirt. Contrary to general belief the expensive pearls are not always round or oblong in shape. Many fine specimens are baroques, that {s, they assume gro- tesque forms, a fact that can be read- fly accounted for by their origin. An @yster may be wort) provoking. Raisull on Warpath Again. There are indications that Rajs‘ali ‘the Moor who held Perdicaris in cap tivity, will shortly attempt a‘other feat of the same kind unless st'ingent precautions are taken. The native au- thorities have addressed to all the le gatior , a request that no European be allowed to proceed outside the en- virons of Tangier withort the basha’s special permit. There {s general un rest and tribal fighting in all parts of the country. The sultan has an- nounced his intention of prohibiting the coastwise shipment of grain, a measure which would cause famine in northern Morocco. The sultan’s rep- *esentative at Tangier agrees to keep the coast trade open for three months pending a discussion of the protest of the European representatives against Its being prohibited. Need for Clergymen. The Kentucky colonel, lunching at ‘he Arena, was telling the story of a famous Kentucky feud which had died a natural death, there being now only one survivor, “Do they have any clergymen ig Kentucky?” asked one of the party. “Of co’se,” replied the colonel}. “They mus’ have clergymen in Kem tucky to read the bu'lal suvvice oval the daid.”"—New Yerk Times. - Cr ANH DO You KNow nd ‘aa THE COLOREDAMERICAN LOAN & REALTY CO PHONE MAIN 5554 913 21st St. P.

Germany's Way of Sizing People Up Available Chiefly to Doctors, Germany has taken up the pastime of reading character and telling for- tunes by the tongue. Somebody has been making a study of the organ of speech and has discovered that it is full of indications. A long tongue {s sald to denote openness of character, it suggests gen- erosity and free handedness. Its pos- sessor makes friends and enemies easily, but doesn’t save money. When the tongue is long and thick the openness degenerates into a ten- dency to gossip and scandal. The fu- ture of the owner is beset with trou- bles of his own making. It also indi- cates flightiness and inconstancy. Short tongues indicate secretiveness and dissimulation. Their owners make good detectives and attorneys. The owner may acquire some money by economy and guile, but has not largeness of spirit to make a great fortune. Thin pointed tongues are found in difident people who do not succeed in life. Short and broad ones socompany craft and faleehood; the person who has such a tongue ts compelled by it to ‘eceive and betray, whatever effort he nay make to keep straight. The vibrant, quavering tongue de- notes the artistic temperament. Bril- Mant carmine hue is a sign of long life, pale pink tongue denotes weak- ness of character and delicacy of coa- stitution. “If it's all true,” says a German newspaper, ‘it is lucky that it is only at the doctor and not at our friends that we stick out our tongues.” TWO TYPES OF LAWYERS.

Weeping, the wife stooped to pick up her insulted property, but her tear- stained face was irradiated by an ec static rapture as her eyes fell upon It. “O!" she exclaimed in delight, “now it is the exact shape of that $40 French hat I saw yesterday, and I never could have gotten it that way myself.

Three people can sit on the seat, but only one can lie on {t. The oth- er two lie In berths above you or be low you,as the case may be. The seats are made of wood and if you have a thick blanket and a pillow they are quite as comfortable as any other bed. When you first step into the car- riage it is like entering pandemonium. It is almost dark, save for a feeble candle that sputters peevishly over the door and all the inmates are yelling and throwing their boxes and bas- kets and bundles about. This {fs only the process of installation; it all quiets down presently, and everybody is seated with his bed unfolded, if he has one, hi# baggage stowed away, his provisions spread out, as if he had been Ilving there for years and meant to remain there for many years ‘o come.

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., Nov. 22, 1907. Union Health & Accident Co., City. Gentlemen:—In view of the many expressions of appreciation and encouragement that your company is constantly receiving from satisfied policy holders, I have little to add, except that I am heartily in accord with your methods of furnishing absolute protection. Please accept my thanks for check as payment in full for my claim for illness; your company is the leader and I am with you for greater results. Truly yours. Denver, Colo., Nov. 19, 1907. The Union Health & Accident Co. Gentlemen:—I am in receipt of your check for $11.80, being in full payment of my claim for la grippe. The adjustment is entirely satisfactory and I desire to thank you for the same, also for the promptness and courtesy extended.

In my opinion this constitutes the nucleus for a large and conservative business and you have my earnest co-operation to accomplish this end. Yours for success, DIANA M. SCHWARTZ, 4669 High Street. Denver, Colo., Nov. 19, 1907. Union Health & Accident Co. Gentlemen:—I am just in receipt of your check for $5.00, being an advance on my claim for accident.

"I have attended church in a good many different places,' said the southern man, "but I had to come to New York to see a man preach holding his watch in his hand. Down in our part of the country the pulpit orator is usually long-winded. He has a certain subject in mind and has certain things to say concerning it, and he holds forth until he has said them all if it takes till bedtime to do it. "Up here the time that can be devoted to the delivery of a sermon appears to be limited. In order not to overstep the bounds several clergymen that I have heard talked literally by the watch. They did not lay it down or stick it into a convenient pocket to be consulted occasionally, but held it out face up as a constant reminder that time was fleeting and that other pressing engagements awaited them. That may be an excellent preventive of weariness in the congregation, but I must say it makes me uncomfortable to have spiritual advice measured by the minute and second."—N. Y. Press. DAMAGE DONE BY WOLVES. Ranchmen Suffer Heavily From Depredations of Animals. Vernon Bailey, of the forest reserve bureau at Washington, who has been making an investigation of the ravages of wolves on the ranches of the southwest, reports that in a certain part of New Mexico he learned that a moderate estimate of the stock killed by four wolves of which he got trace was a yearling cow or a calf every three days, or approximately 100 head of cattle to each wolf. "Counting all as calves," says Mr. Bailey, "at the low rate of $10 a head, each wolf would at this rate cost the ranchmen $1,000 a year. This estimate of $4,000 for the four wolves leaves out of consideration the five to ten hungry offspring of each pair, which begin to kill stock for themselves in the fall and continue to do so as long as they live." Gold Production. The production of gold in the Unit States during 1906 is estimated by the director of the mint at $96,101,000 which is an increase of $8,900,000 over that of 1905. The production of silver is estimated at 56,183,000 ounces, an increase of 82,000 ounces over that of the previous year. A Useful Explanation. "The climate is very cold in St. Petersburg, is it not?"

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. THE WOMEN'S HAIR CARE 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. POPE.

The entertaining author of "Collections and Recollections" has been writing on the favorite beverages of great men. Thackeray's choice was claret. He said that "our intellect ripens with good cheer and throws off surprising crops under the influence of that admirable liquid, claret." Mr. Gladstone, to whom the other pleasures of the table meant nothing, was a stickler for port, a believer in it, a judge of it. Mr. Russell says that the only feeble speech he ever heard from Gladstone was made after dinner at an otherwise hospitable house, where wine was not suffered to appear. Lord Tennyson drank his bottle of port every day, and drank it undecanted, for, as he justly observed, a decanter holds only eight glasses, but a black bottle nine. Mr. Browning, if he could have his own way, drank port all through dinner, as well as after it. Sir Moses Montefiore, who lived to complete his hundred years, drank a bottle of port wine every day after he came to man's estate. Mr. Finching, the wine merchant in "Little Dorritt," thought champagne "weak but palatable," and Lord St. Jerome, in "Lothair," was esteemed by the young men a patriot "because he always gave his best champagne at his ball suppers."—Town and Country. WOMAN IN STRANGE FIELDS. Exploration and Discovery No Longer Left to the Sterner Sex. Not long ago the triumph of a woman who had ascended one of the Himalaya peaks to a height hitherto unequaled by any mountain climber was duly chronicled. A few days later a foreign news item announced the arrival in South Africa of an American young woman who seeks the jungle in order to study the language of the monkey tribe. She is alone in her daring quest and appears to have a full realization of its perils. Still another venturesome woman is Margaret Selenka, of German birth, who is to head an important scientific expedition to Java in the early part of the coming year. She goes there in the endeavor to establish the identity of a fossil man-ape found on the island, as the so-called missing link. It is evident that these women are admitting no handicap because of the sex. They are courageously entering regions that few men have penetrated and their action suggests that it may not be long before the supremacy of the sterner sex in the fields of exploration and discovery will be very seriously questioned. Hobby of English Duke. The English duke of Rutland has the walls of one of his castles adorned with thousands of horseshoes, the collection having been begun centuries ago. Among them is a shoe given by Queen Elizabeth and another by Queen Victoria. Active English Statesmen. Despite his 62 years Sir Charles Dilke is one of the most active members of the house of commons. He is an enthusiastic sculler and goes through a course of training every year.

Ss The avidity with which the daily papers this week have taken up the charges preferred against Alzamon Ira Lucas, the founder of a new phil- osophical society, is only another il- lustration of the proneness of the white press to speak evil of negroes with no shadow of pretense of being fair. The reports state that charges have been preferred in the district at- torney’s office but further say that he has done nothing up to this time. The presumption of innocence that always belongs to an accused person in this case is further increased by the atti- tude of the district attorney for he would certainly proceed to prosecute if the case looked worth while. The more we see of this kind of thing, the more inexplicable it is that negroes run after service rendered by white people grudgingly when they can do without or have their own. The Denver Post has so often held us up to ridicule that attacks upon us, no matter how unjust, no longer ex- cite even comment. Yet the colored people of Denver are large readers of the Post. There seems to be a glamour about the white press that we cannot re- sist. Foul is fair and fair is foul, if one is to judge from our actions. Only a few years ago Prof. Lucas was met with the same class of charges, un- supported by evidence. Eliminating the platitudes of the space writer, it is clear that the same kind of attack is now attempted. Whether “new thought” is right or not, he is under the same necessity to be a good man and true that all of us are, and sc long as he has lived here, he has walked uprightly, free from suspicion. It is a shame that he is made a tar get for the base inuendoes of news papers, partly because he is of a new cult, but chiefly because he is of ne gro blood.

Ker Bale POOR OPINION OF COMMITTEE. Dilatoriness, Congressman Wadsworth of New York and Congressman Rixey of Vir- ginia drew adjoining seats for the cur- rent session. This reminded their col- leagues of an occasion when the lat- ter upset the New York man with a tart remark. The agricultural appro- -priation bill was under discussion and Mr. Rixey complained bitterly because the proposed measure did nothing for Virginia, although promises had been ‘made for several years back. Mr. Wadsworth, béing chairman of the committee which reported the bill, tried to smooth matters over by re- marking: “The gentleman from Vir- ginia should remember that Rome was not built in a day.” “That is true,” retorted Mr. Rixey, “and if Rominus and Remus were on the agricultural committee Rome would not be built yet.” GRAND GRAND Mid-Winter Dance and F “" Pictorial Warning. In its Hongkong news the Pekis and Tientsin Times says: “A very curious-looking notice was the subject of a case at the magistracy recently, a coolle being charged with having posted it on the wall of a structure without permission. The notice was on a small sheet of white paper and on the upper portion of it was a very fairly well executed pencil sketch of an electric tram, the seats of which were occupled from front to rear re spectively by @ monkey, tortoise, horse, rat, snake and a dog. Under- neath this sketch a separate piece of paper was pasted bearing characters which were translated to mean: ‘Be- ware, look at this!’ A Chinese con- Stable d~osged to having seen the coolie post the notice, which he trans Hated as a warning to people not to sit ‘In the tram cars, and declaring that if they did they would be no better than the animals depicted.” GIVEN BY AT THE OLD RELIABLE DANCING HALL East Turner Hall Our Program for the evening will be Pie peaas Centest spegamamie ca AOR FSS HARRIS’ ORCHESTRA | Refreshments Tickets 35 Cts | Russia to Found museum. Russi has decided to found en archeological 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 Michallovitch, Where There Is Weakness. There are governments where the Printing of the sews withowt com- ments and in the most colorless way {s 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 throna, Continued from page 2 interdependence of the white man and the Negro must be acknowledged by all who see the right and strive for the same. "I am always optimistic with regard to the final outcome of this question. The patience, industry, fidelity, hopefulness and splendid endeavor of the Negro through long generations are an earnest of the indestructibility which always counts in the lives of nations. "These qualities have always made for the splendid triumph of the American white man, and I believe the better natures of a people who have thus succeeded will be appealed to successfully by weaker people travelling the same pathway. It is because of this that I have faith beyond the discouragements placed before us by any who doubt the final success of the Negro. "Those who advocate that the Negro should not be educated indirectly speak for more jails, more repressive laws and more crimes. "To educate out of the ignoble into the noble, from the lower to the higher, from narrowness to broader vision, from badness to goodness is the supreme duty of all who see the light. "Unbiased educators, statesmen and publicists of the highest order are everywhere arguing for an enlightened citizenship which will include the Negro. In a country such as ours, where bayonets do not control, where the ballot is sovereign, where law is king, our Republican form of government is protected and secure when civic virtue of the highest order is in the ascendant. "It was an inspiring sight a few days ago to see Theodore Roosevelt, the President of the United States, Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist, James Bryce, the diplomat, and James R. Garfield, the statesman, lay aside pressing duties and weighty responsibilities, to participate in the forties anniversary exercises of one of the great institutions of learning where hundreds of Negro youth are being educated. The encouragement, advice and hopefulness propounded in the addresses of these great men meant more for the race and nation than we can here estimate. "Their philantropic, unselfish act was but in line with the spirit of the age, which spirit is making for the amelioration of all untoward conditions and the betterment of all humanity. "Such acts exhibit a lofty purpose, the outgrowth of the idea that serv THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

As a race we must put ourselves at all times in harmony with this spirit. We shall be able to measure up to the same by making ourselves the highest types of manhood and womanhood. "If we lay well to heart these thoughts and demand of ourselves the best that is within us, we shall raise ourselves in the estimation of all the world and prove ourselves worthy of all the best men of America will finally secure for us." The register is delivering addresses in all sections of the country and is thus working earnestly to benefit the race and serve his people. After a splendid reception tendered him by the citizens of Durham, he left to attend a meeting of the A. M. E. conference at Wilmington, N. C., where he also spoke. Y. M. C. A. in New York.
