NINETEENTH YEAR NECESSARY Through Lawyer Townsend of Pueblo we are in receipt of a clipping from a native paper in Mexico City commenting on the killing of a Negro there by a white man. The two American papers commented adversely on this conviction by a Mexican jury, judge and prosecuting attorney and said that in Texas and this country a white man would not have been even tried for killing a Negro. The following is the clipping: It is a sad thing for the penalty of capital punishment to hang over any criminal, whoever he may be. It is sad, but necessary at times, as on certain occasions the necessity of justice is not only felt but it is an utter necessity for social security. Society has, besides the right, but the obligation to guarantee the property in which consists personal security, and in this property the first is life. Likewise, the first thing which society should guarantee the members that constitute it is life, the security of which none of the others has the right to endanger, and in the case of such attempt he who commits it must suffer the merited punishment. And more yet society has to do, or to explain ourselves better, the authorities; it must guarantee to those who live under our laws, to those who come to our country under the protection of our institutions, the security which neither their nationality, neither their race, neither their form, neither their color must place them in a judicial position inferior to any other whomsoever, or inferior to that enjoyed by the natives of the country. All this society and the authorities should guarantee. DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY DECEMBER 13. 1907 No doubt our social constitution has many defects; there is much among us that is incompatible with civilization, but it would be monstrous injustice to deny that which pertains to our social guarantees, that is to see that which society ordains, not by means of formulas which can be converted into nothingness, but by deeds born of conviction, fruit of our dominant ideas, and incarnation of our public spirit, there does not exist hatred of foreigners, but on the contrary we receive them with open arms; nor much less does there exist hatred of races, but on the contrary among us is diffused and well diffused, thanks to the profundity of the Christian ideas which predominate in Mexico, universal fraternity, that which all men, the black as well as the white, the Saxon races as well as the Latin and those of African race, we are all brothers, and have one father, the Father who is in heaven. When these ideas predominate among us, we cannot, we must not, tolerate that foreigners come, whoever they may be, and here sow the terrible hatred of races; nor much less from this hatred they give in reality the sad example, attacking the first and natural rights of the men of other races, though they look upon other races as inferior, whether they be or no, not for this must they be considered as being in an inferior judicial position, for the judicial condition relative to human rights is the same among us. The Mexican and the foreigner have equal guarantees. The rights of the Negroes are the same as the rights of the Anglo-Saxons; because the law, and with SHORTER HOLDS BIG MEETING State Historian & Natural History Society STATES RIDAY DECEMBER 13, 1907 SHORTER BIG By prefacing such an important event with the ever welcome "love feast" Friday night, the entire membership of Shorter's congregation was in complete readiness. With the platform filled with ministers and two local preachers, on Sunday afternoon after having been treated to an excellent sermon in the morning, the whole church was just ripe for a blessing which they received. The choir demonstrated the power of singing by their earnestness and sincerity, displayed by their voices. A great service was the result of the meeting. Father Turner, as presiding elder, whose best years have been given up to the ministry, made a thoughtful sight and deep impression as he, though burdened with years, administered the Lord's supper to the Christians who came to renew their covenant with the Lord. Rev. Bruce preached, after which Father Turner baptized two infants. The two baptisms coming at that psychological moment, added new fervor and inspiration to the elders, kindled new hope for the middle-aged and lent an ardent zeal to the already weak to press on for the battle was not to the swift nor to the strong, but to him that pursueth to the end. The community has been greatly edifled and benefited as the result of that happening. WHITTIER DAY NEXT SUNDAY.

Many cities in various states have declared a holiday on Dec. 17, the birthday of that immortal saint, John Greenleaf Whittier. Now comes the People's Sunday Alliance and on next Sunday, the 22nd, will have one of the most enthusiastic services, full of inspiration and gratitude that has ever been held in Shorter A. M. E. church. At that time Miss Elsie Von Dickershon will recite, while Mrs. Lizzie Anderson Campbell will read from Whittier's poems. The address of Rev. H. W. Pinkham, the pastor, though a Baptist, who arose amid Tillman's fulminations against the negro at the First Baptist church, will be an event that many during these stirring times will long to hear. His subject will be "Whittier." Harris' orchestra not only will play an excellent selection of their own, but will assist in playing "America," John Brown's Body" and "Marching Thro' George," for the congregation to sing. The Azalia Hackley Choral Society, the greatest choral club west of the Missouri river, will render an excellent number upon that occasion. Mr. Walter has kindly consented to lead the vast audience in congregational singing. "The Outlook Forty-four Years Afterward," by Mr. A. W. Lewis, speaks for itself as everyone is acquainted with Mr. Lewis' oratorical ability. The meeting will be opened by Rev. A. E. Reynolds of Zion Baptist church, and closed by Rev. A. M. Ward of Shorter. The lady ushers will care for the crowd. Time, 3 o'clock sharp. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. JAIL BARRED TO HIM American Prisoner in China Receive Cold Welcome. When the Chinese day watchman at the American consulate went his rounds the other morning he discovered that one of the cells that should have contained a prisoner was empty. The window were intact, and was no sign to show how the occupant of the cell—C. S. Buttrick—belected his escape. Buttrick was serving a sentence of three years' imprisonment on a charge of embezzlement, which was heard at Tlen-tsin. The night watchman, who was at first suspected of connivance in the escape, returned to his post at seven p. m. as usual. He told a perfectly straightforward story. He came on duty, he said, as usual, at seven o'clock the preceding evening. Buttrick was then out for his daily walk, but returning at about nine p. m. called for a tansan and then retired to his cell. The watchman saw nothing more of him, and when he left at seven a. m. he placed the keys, as usual, on a table where the day watchman would know where to find them. Another version is that when Buttrick returned from his evening walk he was unable to get into the consulate. He knocked and rang for some time without any response, and finally, in high dudgeon at the inhospitality of the consulate, went elsewhere for his night's lodging. Our informant adds that he would not be surprised if Buttrick turned up some day to lodge a complaint against the American authorities for locking him out in this inhumas manner.—North China News. 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 Hanselli 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. The Teacher Declined. ear pupil was absent from school e day last week. The next day she appeared at school and handed the teacher a note explaining her absence, written by her mother. The following is the explanation: "My Dear Miss C—Please excuse Helen for absence, as she fell on the sidewalk and hurt the side of her hip, and by doing the same you will greatly oblige. THEIR FAVORITE BEVERAGES. What Some of the World's Great Men Preferred to Drink. 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 glases, 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 their 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.

PHILADELPHIA ADDRESS TEL NOVE 15 1753 NORTHWEST THE DANGER OF INCOGNITO. One May Hear Opinions the Reverse of Flattering. Ever since the "30s" the pretty little Orientalises have fanced into the small hours of the morning without a clue to their partner's identity, for with wig and mask completely covering the head, the masker's incognito may well defy detection. Indeed, even if the lady were able to recognize a masker through some peculiarity of his speech, she would be careful to keep her discovery to herself. Frequently, I am told, extremely droll incidents have resulted from a crafty expedient resorted to by married men to keep their wives in doubt regarding their whereabouts on the night of the ball. This usually consists of an agreement between two maskers to call out their respective wives. Not long ago two gentlemen who had formed a similar pact danced through the night without either of the ladies suspecting their identity, when one masker—a doctor—pleased with the way the scheme was progressing, and seeing his wife glide past on the arm of his partner's husband, chose to add an additional convincing note to the deception by exclaiming, "Why, there goes the doctor's wife!" "Yes," replied his pretty partner, examining his wife with a hypercritical eye, "isn't she an awful mess?"—Harper's Magazine. The Natural Way. Passengers on the Northwestern Clevated railroad traing two or three mornings last week saw a dunipy little man in the smoker who, getting on the cars at a point where they were not crowded, found room on the seat, sat down, and drew his feet up under him, Turkish fashion. One morning, the last time he was seen sitting in this position, the guard went up to him, tapped him on the shoulder, and said: "Your feet are on the seat. Take em down." The dumpy little man let his feet shoot out from under him, while everybody in the car laughed at his expense. "He can't help it," said one man in the car, who claimed to know him. He's a tailor. Just moved out this day. Used to live in walking distance of his shop. He hasn't been on a car six years until this week. The fellow seems to think he's at work on its table, and be just draws his feet up under him. I don't blame him. that's been his natural position for twenty years."—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Ferdinando Nicholls, who was at one time rector of St. Mary Arches, Exeter, England, in the midst of his sermon one day discovered that several aldermen in the congregation had fallen asleep. He paused and sat down. The people then began to stand up and move about, and this had the effect of awakening the slumberers, who stood up with the rest to ascertain the cause of Mr. Nicholl's silence. Upon this he arose and addressed the drowsy aldermen as follows: "The sermon is not yet done, and now you are awake I hope you will hearken more diligently." Electrical Divining Rod. An electrical divining rod, claimed to operate more certainly and scientifically than the ancient and dishonored twig, has been devised by Adolph Schmid, a Swiss engineer. It seems to consist essentially of a glass covered box inclosing a coil of insulated wire, in which a slightly magnetized needle is free to rotate over a graduated dial. When the apparatus is placed over subterranean water, with the axis of the coil in the magnetized meridian, the needle, it is asserted, oscillates more or less rapidly from two to ten, and even up to 50 degrees.

"Some men don't always understand what another means by the language he uses," said William F. King of the Merchants' association the other day in talking of the difficulties that salesmen sometimes have to contend with. "Now there is one of our salesmen whom I overheard the other day boasting that a Western buyer, who is celebrated wherever salesmen congregate as a hard man to do business with, had come into the store voluntarily and bought a large bill of goods. As soon as the other man had gone I asked our man if he really meant that the buyer had come in voluntarily. " 'Sure he did,' was the reply I got. " 'How do you account for it?' I asked. "Oh, well,' said the salesman, 'it's simple enough. The day he arrived in town I sent him a special delivery letter at his hotel, and followed it up in the afternoon with a call at which I showed him a couple of samples. The next day I met him as he was going to lunch, and blew him off to the best meal he ever ate. That night I took him to the theater, and the next morning met him at his hotel before breakfast. Of course I never let a chance slip to talk up our goods, and this morning he just walked into the store and bought the biggest bill we ever got out of him.' "Well," said Mr. King, "that was what the man called coming in voluntarily, and he meant it. Of course he didn't have to hit him over the head with a club and drag him in. Every man is entitled to his own definitions."—New York Times. Tearful Subjects. Taking an illustration out of his own calling, Dr. Gunsaulus delivered by implication a stinging rebuke to a kind of histrionism of which Mrs. Leslie Carter, Miss Olga Nethersole and Miss Clara Morris are leading exemplars, and to a kind of player who is esteemed by some people to be doing sound emotional work when he pumps up real tears. "I've known," he said dryly, "preachers who cried so much that nobody else wanted to cry. A good man I will call John Biggs was one of these. When one of the elders heard of his assignment to a certain circuit he said musingly, 'Well, we'll be having a long wet spell soon.' "And that would be all. "John Biggs couldn't risk the experience with his hearers. So he had it himself. There are such actors. They can let nothing go by intimation. 'they must have it themselves. This leaves no responsive effort for the audience. Simplicity in music and in dramatic art belongs on the same high grade of character that makes for self-restraint in man." Dangerous Use of Arnica. While arnica is one of the drugs included in nearly every household medicine chest, it is doubtful if the average mother, who is wont to apply it so freely to the fingers and toes of her little ones, realizes the risk she runs. Although many home remedies call for the use of arnica, it is said to be highly dangerous to apply it to the skin unless greatly diluted. One part arnica to five parts water, the proportions commonly advised, is said to form a lotion the use of which is attended with great danger. A correspondent who has looked up the sub- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Ject says that arnica should be diluted more than ten times. "If used in full strength," she says, "arnica will cause paralysis. A good combination is that of one teaspoonful of arnica to four tablespoonfuls of witch hazel, and even then it should be used in moderation, as experience has shown. Chicago Evening Post. Charity.

In the "Life of the Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury," by Edwin Hodder, the following appears in one of the speeches of the subject of the biography: "When Gladstone runs down a steep place, his immense majority, like the pigs in Scripture, but hoping for a better issue, will go with him, roaring in grunts of exultation." Englishman's Criticism. An observant Englishman who has been making a study of the American woman and her defects says that instead of the nasal twang, with which the American woman is credited, he found that they speak in drawling, dragging tones, due to a lazy, careless management of the voice. Four Times Wedded to Husband. Carmen Sylva, queen of Roumania, story writer and poetess, was married to her husband four times. According to the German civil code, according to the Lutheran religion, according to the Roman Catholic church, and according to the rites of the Greek church. Where Fortune Teller Failed. A fortune teller told a grand fortune to a young man and then asked to be paid. "What!" 'exclaimed the youth. "How is it that you who understand all hidden things did not know that I have not even a cent in my possession?"—Lo Scacciapensieri. Camel and Horse. A camel can easily carry a weight of 1,000 pounds on its back about four times as much as a horse can carry. The camel begins work at the age of four and is useful for half a century; the horse, as a rule, is nearly played out at the age of 15. The Pohick Philosopher.

KATE LEVELL, Sec. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Death of a Wounded Bull Saved the Hunting Party. "I was kneeling, while my men lay flat on their faces," writes C. G. Schillings in his "With Flashlight and Rifle," of an elephant hunting incident. "I sent two more bullets into the male elephant. The whole herd then gathered around an old female elephant and broke away in a quick shuffle. Since they turned to the right I enjoyed the grand sight of twenty-four elephants passing at a distance of about 450 feet. The wounded male passed a little nearer to me and I could not refrain from firing at him once more. The whole herd stopped, took the young ones into their midst, looked around and sniffed the air. "They discovered us, and, led by two females, they came to attack us. The situation became very critical, for in the long run the animals were bound to overtake us. I fled as fast as my feet would carry me in the wake of my men, who were running away from the animal at a right angle. They knew, as I did, that the elephant's sense of sight is weak and that our only chance of escape lay in changing, from time to time, the direction of our flight. "We did not dare look around, but hurried on in breathless haste. The thundering, dull noise of the pursuing elephants came nearer and nearer. Then suddenly a piercing, trumpet-like sound was heard above the dull noise. Turning around I saw the wounded animal falling into a sitting posture and the rest of the herd in wild flight away from us." Ants Set Good-Example. "Crossing the road in the park," writes a visitor to Panama, "I observed a curious thing. Green leaves, thousands of them, each the size of a small oak or maple leaf, were moving in regular marching order along the road, a continuous line, as far as the eye could reach. It proved to be an army of ants, each one carrying a leaf on its back, which completely hid its little body. On closer view I saw a parallel line of ants returning unloaded, or empty-backed, to the place of supply up a ratner long, steep hill. In crossing the roadway the driver of our carriage stupidly ran over both lines. A few ants fell out, never to go back, but the broken ranks instantly filled and the procession moved on unceasingly as before. During the busy season these soldier ants march day and night, laying in their supply of food. If some of the dirty and lazy-looking Panamans I saw in the city would be forced to follow the example of the soldier ants things might be different on the isthmus." --- Gold Production. The production of gold in the United 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?"

No danger from THORNS, CACTUS, PINS, NAILS, TACKS or GLASS. Serious punctures, like intentional knife cuts, can be vulcanized like any other tire. Two Hundred Thousand pairs now in actual use.

This tire will outlast any other make—SOFT, ELASTIC and EASY RIDING. 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 section. 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.

(Continued from page 1.) the law Mexican society does not see in one or the other but that which it sees in those of the same speciesmen and no more. For this, among us, the rights of the Negroes are sacred, as sacred as those of the Europeans, as those of ourselves. Samuel L. Hampton, the American, did not want to understand it this way, who, according to the legal investigation, killed the Negro Lige Patterson, and in the scene which terminated in a tragedy, he expressed rude and offensive sentiments against the Negroes, for he related that in Texas "they were made to dance to the sound of bullets," and in reality what he did was to kill Patterson, according to the public prosecutor, under such circumstances that the homicide was unjustifiable, and the jury so considered it, resulting from the verdict the legal necessity that the Anglo-American Hampton be condemned to capital punishment. Certain groups did not look for such a result. Some almost believed with certainty that the jury would acquit the murderer. Unfortunately for him, but better for society and justice, it was not thus; and Hampton finds himself to-day in the sorrowful condition of being condemned to death; but society has seen in the verdict of the jury and in the sent...ence of the court a lesson of the highest morality. It is necessary to condemn to death the hatred of one race for another. It is necessary to make felt, by means of a salutary warning, the judicial necessity, the constitutional necessity, the human necessity that in Mexico the Negro be respected in the same grade with all other men. The law, the constitution, morality, humanity, impose and claim for the Negroes, the same obligations as for the whites, the same as for the creole races, the same as for the Saxon races, and the fact that a Negro is the victim of a murder does not lessen the responsibility of the murderer, but it aggravates it when it is the result of hatred and scorn.

She hurled all manner of violent language at me, and, surprised as I was, and incoherent as she was, I managed to make out that she had been accused of being a thief. "Why she felt so bad about it was the puzzle. 'Why do you lock your door?' she howled. Of course, that explained it all, and so, very gently, I asked her how she had known it was locked. She was only silent a moment in order to think up an answer. 'I wanted a needle, and so I went up—' she was saying, when I interrupted with: 'But that was quite wrong.'

The London Hospital is inclined to hold that lobster is not so indigestible as popular fancy thinks it. It is, however, less nutritious than the average fish. PAGE 2 NEW IDEA OF CONSUMPTION Doctor Says Disease Is Primarily Derived from Cattle. A London physician, Dr. W. Picket Turner, who has made a first hand study of the disease for many years, advances the theory that the medical world is attacking the problem of consumption by an utterly false route. His view, briefly stated, is that tuberculosis is an animal disease primarily derived, in all cases, from cattle. It belongs, he says, to the mycotic group of diseases, diseases in which the original source of infection is a plant. Bovine cattle derive tuberculosis from timothy and other allied grasses by natural affinity. Man acquires the disease by ingestion or inoculation, never by inhalation. It is not hereditary; neither is there any predisposition to it in the individual. The bacillus in a state of nature is saprophyte, feeding on decay of the vegetable world. But the bacillus becomes pathogenic—capable of causing disease—in cattle when they are deprived of actinism or the property of the chemical rays in sunlight It would, if all this be true, become reasonable to assume that by restoring actinism to cattle the bacillus would again become a saprophyte, in which case consumption would be extirpated. LIKE ONE LARGE FAMILY. people of Newfoundland Have No Need of Hotels. I need scarcely say there are no hotels on this coast, and consequently no hotel bills.

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 a drunken man is seldom or never seen. Indeed we have become a prohibitios coast.—London Standard. Jewels of English Women. Many English society women are the owners of jewels worth the proverbial king's ransom. Perhaps the largest collections belong to the duchess of Portland and the duchess of Marlborough, but Viscountess Iveagh is the possessor of one of the most valuable necklaces in England. Her pearls are worth over $350,000, and took Lord Iveagh a long time to collect. Lady Rothschild, the countess of Dudley, the countess of Annesley and Lady Denman all own most beautiful pearls. The duchess of Rox burghe and the Marchioness of Dufferin both have a large number of turquoises THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD NO SNAKES IN CANADA. A curious thing about Canadian forests is that there are no snakes, and even from a description the Indian guides did not seem to understand what a snake would be like. Fishing all through Canada is as good as the hunting, and should one fail to bag a moose he is fully recompensed for the trip by the abundance of other game, including bear and deer. There is a weird melancholy about Canadian forests, with their hundreds of small lakes and rivers scattered here and there, and although the scenery never rises to the magnificent, there is something haunting aside from the sport in it, that draws the hunter back season after season. Canada is filled with legends and strange superstitions, most of them of Indian origin, and all of them interesting to a degree, especially when related by one of the Indian guides who can be induced to talk.—Leslie Weekly. A Skating One. Yvette Gullbert, the famous French actress, is an excellent skater. In the Bols de Boulogne, in Paris, there is an ice rink where Mme. Guilbert's skating is one of the principal attractions. Talking about skating in New York one day, Mme. Guilbert said: "It is only through perseverance that one learns to skate well. I am sure no one ever suffered more than I in learning to skate. "I remember one day in my girlhood, the second or third time I had ever been on the ice, I was returning home in a crowded omnibus, and a kind old man got up and offered me his seat. "I shook my head, and the old man laughed a good deal when I said: "'No, thank you. I've been skating and I'm tired of sitting down.'" Longing for Country Life. A strange thing is the universal longing of professional men and others who have come to the city and have prospered as they advance in life to get back to the country. It is seldom that they do return, and when they do there is often disappointment and things do not appear as they did long ago. The change is in the man himself, but he thinks it is in the country. Nevertheless, the desire to get back to the old country place to end one's days is very general. Sir Walter Scott refers to it and compares the course of a man through the world to that of the hare which is started from her hair and after a long chase and making a large circle ends by returning to the nest from which she started.

Over-dace the "30s" the pretty little females have danced into the full hours of the morning without a tie to their partner's identity, for wig and mask completely covering the head, the masker's incognito may well defy detection. Indeed, even of the lady were able to recognize a masker through some peculiarity of his speech, she would be careful to keep her discovery to herself. Frequently, I am told, extremely droll incidents have resulted from a crafty excellent resorted to by married men to keep their wives in doubt regarding their whereabouts on the night of the ball. This usually consists of an agreement between two maskers to call out their respective wives. Not long ago two gentlemen who had formed a similar pact danced through the night without either of the ladies suspecting their identity, when one masker—a doctor—pleased with the way the scheme was progressing, and seeing his wife glide past on the arm of his partner's husband, chose to add an additional convincing note to the deception by exclaiming, 'Why, there goes the doctor's wife!' "Yes," replied his pretty partner, examining his wife with a hypercritical eye, "Isn't she an awful mess?"—Harper's Magazine. HIS ACTION WAS OPPORTUNE. Brutal Husband Starts in the Millinery Business With Great Success. "What are you doing?" harshly demanded the brutal husband, abruptly entering the room. "I'm just going to trim this 49-cent hat I bought yesterday," replied the trembling wife. "Extravagant woman, you will ruin me with your everlasting bargain hunting!" he exclaimed, enraged, and, seizing the hat, he crumpled it in his hands, trampled it under foot, and finally flinging it into the corner of the room, strode away. Weeping, the wife stooped to pick up her insulted property, but her tear-stained face was irradiated by an ecstatic 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. All it needs is a couple of blue roses and a bunch of lavender buttercups."—Lippincott's Magazine. The Beginning. Knicker-Primitive men plowed the earth with a sharpened stick.

It Might Pay Now to Look Up Those Old Whalebone Ribbed Umbrellas. "I see by the papers," said Mr. Grillonby, "that the last quotation for whalebone in England was £1,750, or, say, about $8,750 a ton, making whalebone worth now somewhere in the neighborhood of $4.50 a pound—a pretty costly commodity. "I can remember the time when whalebone was cheap, very cheap; when we used to burn whale oil in lamps and use whalebone for umbrella ribs. Those old-time whalebone ribbed umbrellas were not much like the present steel ribbed close rollers. "No. They were of the bulgy out sort of gingham umbrellas that you see now sometimes reproduced after a fashion on the comic stage, but which are now never actually used by anybody, though once they were used by everybody, umbrellas with whalebone ribs. And what I was going to say was this: "People are out all the time looking through the country for old furniture, quaint old colonial, and that sort of stuff. Why couldn't we hunt up those umbrellas—there must be millions of them lying around in country garrets—why couldn't we look up those old whalebone ribbed gingham umbrellas, for the whalebone there is in them? Don't you think there may be an idea here for making money. IN A MODERN HAREM. Circassian Slaves Now Wear Copies of Paris Fashions. Less picturesque than the description in Pierre Loti's "Disenchanted" was my reception in the harem of Bosma Hanum, the wife of a close relative of the throne, says a writer in the Boston Globe. I was assisted out of my carriage by a gaunt eunuch in a black frock coat and red fez, who gave me the shivers as he clutched my arm with his sable paw. Inside the hall I was met by a crowd of female slaves, who helped me to remove my wraps. They varied in age from 15 to 40; some of them were negresses, but the majority were Circassians. The latter are supposed to be the most beautiful of all Turkish women on which account the slaves of the sultan are always selected from among them; but in this instance I looked in vain for any trace of good looks, and, indeed, could hardly help smiling at the comic effect they produced, dressed up to the nines in the latest Paris fashions, executed by local dressmakers. Priest Too studious When Rev. Fr. Coyle assumed charge of St. Mary's church in Boston a gentleman of the city, who had an employe, a very devout Catholic, inquired of him how he liked his new pastor. "Why, sir, I like him pretty well." "Pretty well! Why, what fault have you to find with him?" "To tell the truth, sir, I should have preferred a man who had finished his education; for several times when I have waited upon him I have been told that he was at his studies." THE A. M.

MASONS' COMMUNICATION Hattingsburg, Miss., Dec. 7.—The Stringer Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons held its 32nd annual session in this city during the past week, and over a thousand delegates from all parts of the state were present. Rev. E. W. Lampton, D. D., of Greenville, presided. He has held the position of Grand Master for a number of years, and is also Financial Secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal church with headquarters in Washington, D. C. 10 The Grand Lodge is one of the largest, wealthiest and most aggressive organizations in the country. Each session was interesting and good advice was given the members of the craft by Dr. Lampton. His annual address was pronounced a literary gem by those who heard it. He is one of the strongest men in the entire South. The report of Hon. E. E. Perkins, of Edwards, showed that over 11,000 were in good standing and the receipts of the Masonic Benefit Association, of which he is treasurer, during the past year had been $166,380,10, and had paid to widows and orphans $117,460.27, leaving a balance of $48,919.93. He also spoke of the 1,000 acres of land purchased in the Delta a few years ago, being valued at $407,000. Grand Master Lampton was presented with a gold watch, purchased in London, England, at a cost of $1,000. Hon. John W. Strauther was chairman of the committee which made the purchase, and the presentation speech was made by Hon. L. J. Winston, of Greenville. It is an unusual time piece, as one can tell the time in the dark as well as in the light. It strikes the hour, then the minutes past the hour. The following officers were elected: E. W. Lampton, of Greenville, Grand Master; W. A. J. Morgan, of Shelby, Deputy Grand Master; B. M. Lacy, of Shiloh, Grand Junior Warden; W. W. Phillips, of Kosclusko, Grand Junior Warden; C. S. Goodman, of Holly Springs, Grand Secretary; T. J. Wilson, of Meridian, Grand Treasurer; E. E. Perkins, of Edwards, Secretary and Treasurer of the Mason Benefit Association; L. J. Winston, attorney. The next session will be held in Jackson. THAT BUILDING FUND. Sometime ago The Statesman favored the project of a building fund for the Azalla Hackley Choral Society. Then we contended that such a fund was necessary for the growing THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. needs of Denver's musical body. Since that time some recent developments have happened which serve only to strengthen us in our view. On Thanksgiving day the colored young men wrested the palm of victory from the white. And last week we announced that a basket ball team had been formed by the young ladies of this city for their physical development. These last recent developments of the city's young folk is welcomed by Denver's best property owners, but the question arises now. Where shall these young people go to practice and hence perfect themselves in the scientific game? To a hall? What hall? The best and most effective solution to the pressing question is for the Choral Society, the basketball and football teams to get together and start this building fund. We see far in the future and see these boys and girls forming themselves into a building association.

"Deacon" Snow, who recently died in Provincetown at a good old age, was one of the shrewdest horse traders on the cape. He once had a horse which showed a rooted aversion to covering more than three miles an hour. A customer who liked the appearance of the animal had about concluded to purchase, and asked if he was a good traveler. The "deacon," assuming a confidential tone, said: "Mr. Jones, you'll certainly be pleased to see that horse go." The bargain was made and the new owner drove away. The next morning bright and early he appeared on the scene in a great rage. "See her," he cried, addressing the "deacon." "I thought you told me this horse was a great traveler?" "Never said nuthin' of the kind," was the quiet reply. "What in thunderation did you say, then?" "I said you'd certainly be pleased to see that horse go, and so would any one else, I guess, that owned him." Sent Out by Express. A few years ago a banquet was given the delegates to the convention which had that day nominated Hon. Otis M. Gove, of Waltham, Mass., for the state senate. Several of the delegation had spoken in very flattering terms of the nominee, of his native city and its famous watch industries, whose products were so well known everywhere. The last speaker, ex-Mayor Baxter, of Medford, began by saying: 'Gentlemen, we have listened to the glowing accounts of the industries of Waltham, whose products are so well known everywhere. But don't forget that Medford also has industries of her own, the products of which I venture to say are as well known to the good people of Waltham as those of her own beloved city." The Number of Our Hairs. According to a well known medical authority fair-haired people possess commonly between 140,000 and 150,000 hairs on the scalp, the number being about the same for man and woman. Dark haired people have, on an average, about 105,000, while red haired people are said to have only 30,000. But the last apparently possesses one great advantage in the fact that they retain their hair better, seldom becoming bald. Their hair is much coarser than that of dark or fair haired persons. Longing for Country Life A strange thing is the universal onging of professional men and others who have come to the city and have prospered as they advance in life to get back to the country. It is seldom that they do return, and when they do there is often disappointment and things do not appear as they did long ago. The change is in the man himself, but he thinks it is in the country. Nevertheless, the desire to get back to the old country place to end one's days is very general. Sir Walter Scott refers to it and compares the course of a man through the world to that of the hare which is started from her lair and after a long chase and making a large circle ends by returning to the nest from which she started.

Don't cuss the editor. Just look and see if you are not at fault. Not the Kind He Wanted. Professed politicians who have reduced public office to an exact science find the independent voter a sad stumbling block—a fact which is amusingly disclosed by a story found in the recent life of the late George Monro Grant, the eminent Canadian educator and clergyman, says the Youth's Companion. Toward the end of Sir John Macdonald's life he and Principal Grant, then the head of Queen's college, met at dinner at the house of the premier's brother-in-law, Prof. Williamson. "How I wish," the premier said to the principal, "that you would be a steady friend of mine." "My dear Sir John," the principal replied, "I have always supported you when you were right." The premier's eyes twinkled, and he laid his hand upon the shoulder of the principal. "My dear man," said he, "I have no use for that species of friendship!"

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. MRS. A. M.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. WOES OF POLITICAL LEADER. To Be Successful He Must Be All Things to All Men. "To become a political 'leader' and to retain the post successfully requires eternal vigilance," said a well known politician. "In the thickly settled sections of Philadelphia the leader becomes a sort of unofficial mayor, guardian and father of his constituents. He can never ignore a request; to do so is to offend not only the individual who makes it, but all his relatives. "One woman asked the leader recently to take her baby into his family while the mother went out of the city for a week's visit. Again, he was called up at 2 o'clock in the morning by two men who had a dispute and wanted him to arbitrate. He was expected to see that the poor had coal; to ball out those who were arrested; to secure work for those out of employment; to have police fines remitted, and to attend marriages, picnics and funerals. "One family of voters renounced him permanently because he did not call when the 7-year-old son Thomas broke a leg. "But I didn't know he had broken his leg,' the leader protested. "Sure, and you should have known it,' was the reply. "But I didn't even know you had a son Thomas." "That settles it,' exclaimed the father; who, taking up his hat to leave, remarked: 'Charlie Donnelly would have known it. Niver a meal have you ate in me house.'" Explanation by the Court. In an appeal from a justice's court the justice accompanied the transcript with the following explanation: "This affidavit is overruled by the court on the ground of ignoring the court when requested to wait and hear the opinion of the court in regard to a continuance. And with his hat on his head, a cigar in his mouth, the said James Harvey went out, saying he did not care what I done with the case.—S. H. Mitchell, Justice of the Peace." Woman Bertillon Expert.

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."

If we are to accept the view that the victory of Chicago in securing the national convention of the Republican party was due to those opposing the influence of President Roosevelt, it is clear that the party is going to divide on the policies to be pursued as well as on the candidates. The President has stood for active legislation whether remedial or constructive. He was elected on a "stand pat" platform but has won the admiration and confidence of the country by the way he has taken hold and done things. For the conservative elements of the party to unite to defeat his influence in the convention is a powerful endorsement of his policies. Speaking as a Republican paper, we hope never to see the day when the party will evade grappling with live issues on the theory that it is best to let well enough alone. It is true that in 1900 it was content to "stand pat" holding fast to "sound money" won in the previous campaign, and again in 1904. But now that trusts, currency, tariff and other grave issues require settlement, the Republican party cannot play the coward and become a mere horde of office seekers and their supporters. And if the "interests" are powerful enough to subvert party principles, the election next year may not be with us. The faults of the administration can be eliminated without going to the extreme of an entire reverse of front. Yet it is asserted that this is what the victory of Chicago means. Defeat Roosevelt influence at any cost! seems to be the battle-cry of the Canon-Fairbanks-Foraker crowd. We reassert the more strongly in view of the occurrences of the last two weeks our faith in George B. Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury, as the best man for the presidential nomination. First of all he is an administration man and will hold fast to every gain that Roosevelt has made for strong, fair government. Then his relations with the party have been so intimate that he knows what it wants, not merely what the politicians want, PAGE & THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. but what the rank and file want. He has none of the explosiveness of Roosevelt and will not fall into the rashness that mars the otherwise statesmanlike administration of the President. It may be that nothing but an aggressive, pugnacious man could have done what the President has, but the time is here now when the readjustment must be made to changed laws and changed public sentiment, before further progress can be made and no reactionist like Canon will do. The Republican party is not ready to say that it has been wrong in attempting to curb trusts, in enacting new legislation, in digging the canal, and that is what it means to nominate any one of the anti-Roosevelt candidates. The whole country would be justified in rebuking such duplicity. For this reason we do not favor any one of the pronounced adversaries of President Roosevelt. We are not so blind as to make all issues secondary to Brownsville and by it alone choose a fit candidate for the presidency. The race deserves our fealty but our country still has first claim upon us. Senator Foraker may be an able statesman and is our friend, but we need not expect the American people to elect him to the presidency because he was right on Brownsville. It is even probable that his avowed advocacy of our cause would lose rather than make votes for him. We do not favor Taft. He is the President's shadow. Whatever of strength Roosevelt has cannot be handed down, but on his head will fall every criticism with double force. His boom seems already spent. The country is not capable of standing Democratic experiment and incapacity and the Republican party must win. It cannot if it chooses Taft, hateful alike to the Negroes and the farmers, nor can any "stand patter" win the people. Cortelyou is the ideal choice between these two opposing elements. TERMS.

The Beaufort dyke off the coast of the Mull of Galloway is a deep trough in the bed of the Irish sea. It is cut sharply out of a comparatively level sea bottom, with an average depth of seventy to eighty fathoms and extends down to from 100 to 148 fathoms. Attention has just now been directed to it by the proposition to construct a submarine tunnel from Scotland to Ireland. In connection with the surveys that have been made of the channel bottom it has been found that there are currents of considerable force at work in the bottom of this trough. At one point the bottom was worn away at the rate of sixty feet a year, while in another place it was being built up almost as rapidly. More Than Princely Prerogative. CHEYENNE, WYOMING. Mrs. Wm. Mitchell, who has been quite ill for the past two weeks, has recovered her usual good health. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cooper, we are sorry to state, are both on the list with the ill and afflicted. Mr. and Mrs. R. Samuel Hopkins, from Nevada, are visiting their relatives and many friends in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins are both well and favorably known in our city, and they are welcome, particularly by the younger social set, of which they are members. Mrs. Ada Mitchell, who has been spending the past three months at the home of her mother, Mrs. Thompson, left Tuesday morning to join her husband at Fort Robinson, Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Baker entertained very informally Thanksgiving evening at a buffet luncheon. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. R. Samuel Hopkins, Mr. and Mrs. J. E Smith, Miss Eva B. Hopkins and Messrs. Orlandor Gaskins and Hugh Hopkins. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Redd are the proud possessors of a cozy little home on West Twentieth, which they recently purchased and into which they have in the past week established themselves. Mr. and Mrs. Redd are two of our most enterprising young people and their step toward prosperity is highly commended. On last Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock there occurred in the parlors of Allen's A. M. E. church one of the most enjoyable meetings of the Search Light Club that was ever witnessed. The occasion of the meeting was three-fold. First, the celebration of the club's birthday three years ago; second, the installation of the newly elected officers for the next term, and third, the special program prepared for the regular monthly mothers' meeting. Mrs. Clara G. Ashford, chairman of the program committee, with her inimitable manner, stated the occasion of the meeting, and the outgoing president, Mrs. J. E. Smith, and Mrs. H. C. Jefferson, the new president, responded in manner befitting the occasion, Mrs. Smith relinquishing the position she has held so becomingly for the past year with the grace of a queen, and Mrs. Jefferson accepting the honor bestowed upon her in a like manner. Other features of the program were a paper by Mrs. E. F. Landor on "Ideas of An Ideal Club Woman," which was appreciated, and an instrumental duet by Mrs. J. A. Baker and Miss Eva B. Hopkins, the talented pianists of the club. Among the invited guests of the club were Mrs. Simon Smith, Miss Mae Smith, Mr. E. V. Landor and Rev. H. H. Jones, who each expressed their appreciation for the Search Light Club and their wonderful work accomplished. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. MORADC. Thanksgiving Day proved a day of great rejoicing at Allen's A. M. E. church. Mrs. H. C. Jefferson, acting chairman of the Steward's Board, proved her ability as a culinary artist to the limit, and the dinner served by her and her valuable assistants on that day to a famishing and appreciative public was, from the neat sum realized, was sufficient for the great demand. Mr. H. C. Jefferson, who on account of his zealousness for the welfare of the church is playfully dubbed "Old Faithful," as is one noted geyser in Yellowstone Park, carried off the palm of victory for the sale of the largest number of meal tickets, the amount disposed of by him alone numbering eighty. Rev. H. H. Jones, our efficient pastor, coming second by selling sixty tickets. The affair on the whole was a grand one, and church treasury was enlarged by the successful effort by the amount of $86.40. A week ago last Sabbath, Rev. J. H. Hubbard, our Presiding Elder, was with us. The services during the whole day were very enjoyable, Rev. Hubbard preaching with more than his usual earnestness and feeling. At the morning services, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Bohr and their little son, Misses Ruth Robinson and Vivian Taylor received the rite of baptism. The quarterly conference reports given Monday surpassed their usual excellence. Rev. Hubbard has every right to be pieased with the work accomplished by Rev. H. H. Jones and the members of his church. Mr. and Mrs. Goodall entertained at dinner during the visit of the presiding elder to our city. The guests present were Presiding Elder Hubbard, and Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Landor. Mr. and Mrs. Goodall are ideal host and hostess and the excellent repast so daintily served was more than enjoyed. The Missionary Society of Allen's A. M. E. church held their regular meeting on last Sunday afternoon. A very enjoyable program was rendered. Mrs. Chas. Lucas led the society in a very effectual prayer. The 121st Psalm was beautifully read by Mrs. Simon Smith. Mrs. E. F. Landor, chairman of the program committee, then announced the principal feature of the afternoon's program, a most excellent paper on "How Should We As Christians Interpret the Word Missionary?" prepared and read by the president of the society, Miss Mae Smith. The paper was a fine one, and was very ably discussed by Mrs. Goodall, Mrs. J. E. Smith and Mr. E. F. Landor. An article read by Miss Ella Plerson was heartily enjoyed. The gem of the program from a musical standpoint was a vocal duet, "We Shall Cross the Mystic River One By One, which was beautifully sang by Miss S. Katheryn Thistle and Miss Lillian Jefferson. Miss Eva Hopkins acted as accompanist. Mrs. Landor as sisted by the other members of her committee, is arranging for a special service to be given the first Sunday in the New Year. Elaborate preparations are being made for the celebration of Christmas. The program will be rendered by the Sunday school and promises to be unusually interesting. LA JUNTA, COLO. Miss Beatrice Tyler is on the sick list. Mrs. James S. Scott entertained at breakfast last Sunday morning Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Prince. Mrs. L. V. Greer is very much improved at the present writing. Mrs. Saunders is seriously ill at her home on West Second street. Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Prince, who have been stopping with Mrs. Charles Walker on West First street, are now comfortably settled in the parsonage. Mignant Badget, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Badget, is reported quite ill. Mrs. Geo. Gross entertained the N. U. S. club last Thursday at her residence in Swink, Colo. After the club adjourned a very elaborate dinner was served. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Walker entertained at an elaborate dinner Sunday Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Prince and Mr. Burns, the occasion being the 40th anniversary of Rev. Prince. BOISE. IDAHO. The most enjoyable affair of the season was the Country Fair given by the ladies of the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Lyceum at the A. M. E. church, headed by Mrs. E. D. Washington and Miss Hattie Gudger. A luscious country supper was served. Hog head and cabbage predominated, and was in preference by the majority. Presiding Elder Coleman is holding quarterly conference at the A. M. E. church, the first of its kind in Boise. The Rev. Green has made a host of friends and admirers in the short time he has been pastor of the A. M E. church. Much interest is manifest in the coming masquerade ball given by the porters and bootblacks, on Xmas night. Mr. Sewall has sold his elegant barber shop and is expecting to return to Washington, his home. The Baptist people have rented the G. A. R. hall to hold their meeting until they can get more convenient quarters. However, Nature Is Only Human.

FIRST OF THE STAGE COACHES Ran Between New Brunswick and As public conveyances or the stage coach, had been in vogue in England since 1610, the establishment of a similar convenience was demanded in America many years before the war for independence, says the Metropolitan Magazine. As early as 1744 therefore, a stage line started to run between New Brunswisk and Trenton, N. J., and, by 1756, this route had been extended over from New York to Philadelphia. Moreover, as in England, so in America—the advent of the stage coach necessitated marked improvements in the highways. while the building of better roads and turnpikes naturally created a greater demand for more coaches and, what was more to the purpose, lighter vehicles. In 1771 there were but thirty-eight conveyances of every description in the city of Philadelphia, but by 1794 their numbers had increased to 827—more than two-thirds of which were comparatively light vehicles—a condition which led one of the local papers to publish a most deprecatory article concerning the use of conveyances, in which it was stated that the custom of riding was then being carried to such extravagances that "even farmers want carriages."
