DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY DECEMBER 27, 1907 Club then, as it is their usual custom, appeared in almost faultless manner. Their valuable aid was appreciated, especially when the collection was taken as they sang so beautifully "Hail To Belshazzar the King." Mrs. Anderson Campbell received a hearty applause from the manner and spirit in which she demonstrated her reading abilities in presenting in such a peerless manner Whittier's anti-slavery sentiments. "John Brown's Body," a song, certainly inspired her for the occasion. Then the Harris orchestra, whose valuable services at a time like that, was so thoroughly enjoyed that mere words of mention fail in their attempted expression of appreciation. An ovation was given them because of their perfect rendering of "Lucia," which caused them to respond to the tremendous applause. The Alliance was especially grateful to the orchestra and Choral Club, the two most prominent musical clubs in the city, for their services, so freely and patriotically given to an event of such an inspired nature. Mr. A. W. Lewis, after promising his argument upon the negro's condition in this country, slowly but logically and effectively explained how bright the "outlook" grew in the years passed from the negro's freedom to the present time. Amid oratorical flights and beautiful climaxes he powerfully demonstrated his ability as a speaker. "Outlook Party-four Years Afterward" was his subject. Mr. Lewis is at present a law student in Boulder university and is now considered to be one of the most promising lawyars in this state. Continued on Page 5 CO-OPERATIVE For the first time in the history of the race, a negro has outlined a scheme of investing that is so sound and strikingly original that every leading New York paper has paid to the author of this scheme compliments which the most eminent financiers of Wall street would be glad to receive. The name of this negro is Robert W. Taylor, whose 14 years' contact with some of the visiting financiers of this country while occupying the position of financial secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, gave him excellent opportunities to study the problems of finance. Some time ago Mr. Taylor sent me a pamphlet in which he announced his resignation as financial secretary of Tuskegee for the purpose of going into business as a specialist in profitable investments. I read it through carefully and was struck with its clearness and simplicity, not less than with its force. The part which particularly interested me is the following: "I believe that I can make money for those who will follow my advice; and, as my success as a broker will depend on the success of my clients, I must make our interests identical. To carry out this idea, I have worked out a scheme which I call CO OPERATIVE INVESTING, which is as follows: Instead of advising a client to put his money into one proposition, I advise him to put his money with amounts put in by myself and other clients, so that the total amount from each to time may be invested in a number of enterprises with the understanding that the profits and ```markdown ``` FIVE CENTS A COPY TIVE INVESTING losses arising from such investments will be shared in the proportion that the amount put in by each investor bears to the total amount invested. That is to say, if one man contributes $200 to a sum of $10,000, and the $10. 000 is invested in a way to realize a net profit of $4,000, or 40 per cent., it is easy to see that the profit of the I honestly believe that there is no better plan than this.

There is a growing demand at lucrative salaries in all sections of the country, and especially in the South, for young men train in agriculture. The demand for the graduates from this department of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is so far in excess of the supply that we are offering special inducements to graduates of other schools, and persons sufficiently advanced in the academic branches to come here and pursue the courses in agriculture, including practical farm work, dairying, livestock raising, etc. An opportunity will be given a few earnest young men to work out all of their board while taking a course. Those interested can secure full information by addressing BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Principal. NOTIFY US AT ONCE. We are in receipt of unsigned notices from time to time which are emitted for lack of signature. Other contributors get economical and write their news on such small pieces of paper that they become lost among the larger sheets on which such matter is usually written. It is not often that matter is intentionally omitted where some good reason does not exist. Therefore persons will do well to conform to the easy regulations which govern matter for newspapers.

An ear specialist insists that deafness affects all the senses. He says the reason for this is that the ear is only one servant of the sensory service of the human system. Loss of hearing is really a partial paralysis of the brain, but owing to the sympathetic connection of the various sensory nerve centers of the brain the others indirectly concerned have to combat for their very life the demoralizing influence of the affected center. Judiclous Spenning. It is argued by some that, for the common weal, the universal spending of money should be encouraged. Saving money, however, does not imply burying it from circulation but sending it along into circulation in one's own name. What the young men of the country need is not encouragement to spend their money but to spend it judiciously and wisely. A Cat with Wings. The boatswain of the "Caspian," an English schooner, brought with him from India a strange animal-bird, which he always referred to as his "Tabby." It certainly looked more like a cat than anything else; but it was probably some freak of the animal world. It had two pairs of wings, but could fly only with difficulty, like a tame duck. Spider's Wonderful Strength. Recently in the village of Havana, in New York state, an insignificant looking little garden spider pounced upon a milksnake, bit it, entangled it in her threads and actually hoisted it off the ground. The fact that the snake weighed 96 times as much as its captor makes this achievement a most remarkable one. More Than Princely Prerogative. This story of Prince Louis of Battenberg is going the rounds: A bright woman who met him at a garden party in the course of his Canadian visit was commenting on the change in the weather which had that morning seemed dull and threatening. "Yes, it has brightened up," said the prince in his genial way. "You see, when I came to town to-day I brought good weather with me." "Well," said the woman, with a naughty twinkle in her eye, "I have heard of a Hohenzollern speaking of 'I and God,' but it remains for a Battenberg to leave out God!" 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. He is also an enthusiastic fencer. The First Eclipse. Babylonian inscriptions have revealed the earliest lunar eclipse of which we have any record. Its date is B. C. 1063.

Long shallow ditches are made in the ground and filled with dry wood which is set on fire. In the meantime the young maidens are busy picking the tenderest corn, and if faithful to duty, soon return with bags filled with the long ears. A mother, impatient at the tardiness of her daughter, calls: "To-dae-win, why are you so slow?" "I'm coming!" answers a girlish voice from the further end of the field, but she does not come. Again the mother calls: "The fire is ready, why don't you hurry?" "I'm coming!" shouts the maiden. There is a rustling of the leaves of the stalks, and she does really come: she starts to tell a tale of excuse, but the mother quickly empties the bag, giving no heed to the story, and begins to remove the outer layers of husk from the ear. Then she places them in a row on the live coals in the ditch and turns them over with a stick. ```markdown ``` When the thin layers of husk are scorched the woman with her stick deftly tosses the ears out of the ditch. In the meantime the daughter continues her task with more or less delay, until a sufficient quantity of corn is grbered for the day's work. After the roasting of all the ears, the scorched husks are removed and the grains of corn are separated from the cob by the use of the sharpedged shell of the freshwater mussel. The grain is then spread on skins and put out in the sun to dry. The corn prepared in this manner is called sweet corn by the Indians. Enough is cured in this way to last the family a whole season.—Southern Workman. Hard on the Widow. In 1901 the population of England and Wales a square mile was 558. In 1900 the population of the United States was 21.4 a square mile; so England is comparatively crowded. Yet in Lincolnshire a widow had to travel thirty-nine miles on her husband's death. Thus: For a doctor's certificate, 7 miles; to register the death, 5 miles; return home, 9 miles; to the grave and back, miles; total, 39 miles. Nothing to Fear. Judge Rockwood Hoar, brother of the late Senator Hoar, was noted as a wit as well as jurist. Shortly before his death, as his daughter entered his room in the morning, he said: "My dear, I had a dream last night, and in it I saw the angel of death sitting at the foot of my bed. At first I was horribly frightened, but as I gazed at my visitor my fears vanished. He wore a fur cap."—Brooklyn Life.

According to general belief Mr Knox of Pennsylvania does not mean to be a silent member of the United States senate at the coming session. As a rule newcomers are rather expected to keep in the background for a time, but Senator Knox is tacitly booked to take a leading part in discussion of the railroad rate measure. For many years Pennsylvania senators have almost confined themselves to committee activity. The camerons, father and son, were silent men, and so to a great extent was Mr. Quay. Mr. Penrose, too, rarely opens his lips, so the spectacle of a Pennsylvania senator active in debate will be somewhat of a novelty. Nigeria Missionary Society.

The officer there directed him to Shasta county again. Need of Real Churchea. Many Chinese Living Abroad.

Suffixing." "What would the advertisement writer do without the suffix 'ing'?" asked a man who studies advertisements. "We have long been used to sheetings and pillow casings and even coatings and vestings have lost their newness, but now a department store announces that it will sell waistings and blousings. Will we soon hear of collarings and cuffings at a great discount or a mark down sale of boys' short pantings?" Ever See One? Did you ever see a one-legged man with his hands in his pockets? Few people have, but down Dearborn street the other morning there walked a man from whose right trouser leg probed what seemed to be a length of lead pipe. By slouching backward, sailor fashion, he had managed to get his hands in his pockets and he stumped along merrily, oblivious of the stare of those he passed.—Chicago Int' Ocean.

CATHEDRAL IN ICE AT SEA Marvelous Spectacle Witnessed by Sailors Off the Bank of New- An iceberg that resembled a huge cathedral dazzled the passengers of the Scandinavian-American steamship Hellig Olav when that vessel was passing the Bank of Newfoundland recently, reports the New York American. The Hellig Olav at the time was cutting her way through a calm sea under a cloudless sky. The sun shining on the domes, spires and pinnacles of the iceberg rendered it a marvelous spectacle. It appeared off the starboard bow, not more than a mile away. It was fully 200 feet long, but the main body of the great mass of crystal was not more than 50 feet high. Above this rose what resembled a dome of ice, what might be termed the roof of the berg. There were scores of spires and needle-like points pointing upward. So greatly did the form of the berg resemble a cathedral that one passenger remarked that he almost expected to hear the chimes sound. The berg reflecting the rays of the setting sun in a thousand glittering points remained in sight until nightfall, fading astern to a small dot that was brought into relief through marine glasses. Organ to Save Woodpile. A number of years ago a village in the eastern part of the town of Middleboro was very much wrought up over the introduction of a musical instrument in their church service. At the final meeting when the matter was to be settled excitement ran high. One man whose reputation for honest dealings was not always above suspicion made a fiery speech in opposition. A neighbor whose back yard joined the speaker's could hardly wait for the close of the remarks. Then jumping to his feet without waiting to address the chairman, he said: "Gosh, sir, if I had known the gentleman was so afraid of an organ I should have had one hung on my woodpile years ago." Too Uainportant to Mention. Mother--And so your friend Clara is soon to be married?" Daughter (just returned from long absence)—"Yes; doesn't it seem strange? I hadn't heard a word about it until I called to see her this morning. She showed me her trousseau. It's perfectly lovely, just from Paris, and she has the handsomest ring I ever saw, and she showed me the house she is to live in, and the furniture she has selected, and the horses and carriages she is to have. In fact, she showed me everything." Mother—"Did you see the man she is going to marry?" Daughter—"Oh, not! I fancy she forgot about him.—Stray Stories C. H. HOLLY J. R.

When I see a woman in a brown study I never disturb her. She so seldom gets that way. My landlady doesn't light the gas until it is extremely dark. She believes that her face lightens up the room. Once upon a time there was a lecturer who was interrupted by a giggle. He looked around the hall for a woman. The man of brain likes the woman of brawn, but the woman of brain likes any old sort of a man that happens along. I told a brunette once that her eyes were orbs of night. Now she calls to see me once a month to get my autograph. I've seen a man in a fury, and it appealed to me as asinine. I've seen a woman in a fury, and it struck me as distinctly feminine. I had an invitation once to attend a wedding and at the same time one to go to a prize fight. So I went to a poker party. I always try to remain neutral.—New York Telegraph. NUGGET8 FROM GEORGIA. Don't ketch a rabbit by the tail, and then go to hollerin' when he gits away from you. When the cows kicks the milk over just take your coffee straight, and thank the Lord for sweetenin'. Don't depend on the world to give you an epitaph. Best thing to do is to write it while you're living.—Atanta Constitution. A skeptic is a man who doesn't share the good opinion we have of ourselves. One book that is fairly devoured is the cookbook, and yet it may be heavy reading. No, Maude, dear; a sliding scale is not necessarily one on which ice is weighed. Even the milk dealer is not satisfied until his sales reach the high-water mark. When a man loses all his money it generally changes his appearance so that even his old friends doesn't recognize him.—Philadelphia Record. Priest Too studious. When Rev. Fr. Coyle assumed charge of St. Mary's church in Boston a gentleman of the city, who had an employee, 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." ```markdown ``` Music for all Occasions Bic GEO.

"Marine torches" are the direct descendants of the Greek fire of the apients, though the modern torch is used for defense rather than offence, and prevents the surprise of a fleet through the silent approach of an enemy. It consists of an aluminum cylinder used as a projectile. On being fired from a gun it produces no result until it falls into the sea. In its interior it contains stores of calcium phosphide and calcium carbide. The former produces phosphuretted hydrogen on contact with water, which ignites spontaneously and also ignites the acetylene gas liberated from the carbide through the action of the water. Enough of the chemicals is contained to last for ten hours, and a few of these torches thrown to the points of the compass from which attack might be expected would leave the defenders in obscurity, while not permitting the enemy to approach. Western Hospitality Unappreciated. "While going south on a Frisco train a few days ago," said the Rev. Paul Jenkins of the Linwood Boulevard Presbyterian church, last night, "a young fellow in the next seat pulled out a flask and offered me a drink. 'Have one?' he inquired, as if he thought that was necessary on a railroad train. 'No,' I replied rather shortly, 'I don't want one, why should I?' "My manner didn't hurt him. He looked at the man across the aisle, who was reading. There, he thought, was a man who would join him. He reached over, pushed the flask in front of him, and said: 'Have a drink stranger?' "The stranger glared at him. 'No,' he roared, 'I won't; I sell the stuff.' 'Well,' said the young man, still unabashed, 'fact rink alone.' And he did."—Austin City Star. Beaufort Dyke a Curiosity. 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. Bury Sheffield.

One of the strangest holiday resorts, and one of the most interesting, is that recently made accessible to the public at Padirac, in the department of Lot, France. There a wonderful series of caverns, containing magnificent stalactites and a subterranean lake and river, has yielded its secrets to the adventurous explorer, and the dangers of the visit have now been ingeniously reduced, so that the average sightseer may traverse these "antres vast" with ease and safety. For ages the caves remained absolutely unexplored, but by the enterprise of M. Martell a barrister, they have been thoroughly examined and described, and by means of iron stairways and galleries have been rendered accessible. One vast craterlike opening is 300 feet in circumference, and when M. Martel made his first visit to the depths he had to descend on a board attached to two ropes after the manner of a swing. He went down 300 feet, and, with several companions, began an extraordinary series of discoveries. The chief of these is an underground river, which he navigated in a collapsible boat. The Teacher Declined. Dear pupil was absent from school one 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. 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 Kafir 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.

They will make their home in Omaha, Neb. Mr. Craig is a brother of Clar Craig of this city. Miss Frankie Buchanan spent Wednesday and Thursday in Colorado Springs. "The Wages of Honesty," a dramatic production by the members and friends of Central Baptist church, Christmas Eve, made the biggest financial success ever in that church by similar events as well as gave such a creditable presentation as created a demand for a second appearance. The church was crowded to the doors and every scene was encored to the highest. The cast as it appeared was as given last week. THE S.ATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Douglas will make his farewell address and to this meeting especially all are invited. Monday evening there will be a reception at the church for him and his family, tendered by the church. Well-wishers of the church will take a prominent part in the festivities as well as members. The Toujours Pret Club gave a Christmas fete Christmas Eve at Dania hall, with the Harris orchestra as the piece de resistance and dancing was never more enjoyed. Society folk were there in numbers and the seductive waltz and entrancing two-step made glad hearts beat faster until the small hours of morning. J. W. Morris, L. Hubbard and Robert Davis were the committee in charge of arrangements. Denver Roller Skating East Turn FOR RENT—Furnished rooms in modern house at 2054 Arapahoe street. Miss A. M. Thomas. The past year has been a tremendous increase in the number of colored people who own property in this city. All over, in every section they own homes and investment property. The future prospects are as good or better as a result. In many instances the one colored buyer makes it possible for others to get lower prices on nearby property. Color prejudice has that one advantage at least. Let the good work go on. The Life Line Club will meet next Thursday with Mrs. J. C. Cooper of 2227 Tremont Place. Members are requested to be present. W. V. JASPER, W. M. Mr. and Mrs. Archie Rhodes had an "evening out" with all of its peculiarities and particularities on the night of Tuesday, at which event Miss Montgomery, Messrs.

The revival meetings which are now being conducted at Scott M. E. church will come to a close Sunday afternoon with a grand rally, consisting of all the ministers of the city with their congregation. The community has been benefited, the morals improved and a general uplift is felt by reason of the revival.

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., Dec. 24, 1907. The Union Health and Accident Co. Gentlemen: Please accept my thanks for your check for $15.00, being in full payment of my claim for sickness.

In a recent report by the Belgian consul at Calcutta it is stated that there is a steady demand for motor cars in that city, and it is added that it is probable a large business will be done in these cars in the near future The essential qualities for the Indian market are cheapness and quiet running. As the country is extremely dusty, chainless cars are preferred. The motive power should be petroleum, which is easily obtainable on journeys.—London Engineer. Had to Take the Doga. "Going to the cattle show to buy sheep, eh?' queried the minister of ar agricultural member of his chapel whom he met on the station platform surrounded by half a dozen of his sheep dogs. "Oh, dear, no, sir," replied the farmer, "I'm taking my youngsters for a day in the city. There are thirteen of 'em, so I am bound to take the dogs, too, to keep 'em from strayin'." The Aalia Hackley Choral Society had another one of its high-class program last Thursday night which was thoroughly appreciated by all who were present at Central Baptist church. The entire program was rendered with much applause to each particular event, especially the ladies' chorus, whose hearty applause of "Pretty, Pretty, Primrose," was so pronounced that a greater mention is deserving, but owing to our limited space it is impossible to do so. Mrs. Anne Bobo had an early Xmas breakfast, given in her honor by John Chatman of Memphis, Tenn. The peculiar feature of the occasion was the good old Southern cooking and served in the good old style with everything the market could afford. The event was preceded with prayer. The following were present: Rev. and Mrs. Harding of Nashville, Tenn.; Mrs. Bobo, Lawyer Geo. G. Ross and John Chatman. Before a fairly crowded house and with the entire choir out to greet the pastor and congregation "Merry Xmas," Shorter had one of her happiest and liveliest early morning meetings ever experienced in Denver. All the people went away highly blessed and thankful for God's favors for the past year. At Mrs. William Walton's house, of Arapahoe street, there was a lovely eight-course dinner party served in which among the many delicate decorations the following persons were present: Lawyer J. H. Stuart, Prof. L. L. McGruder, Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Ward, Mrs. Reeves and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Walton. The occasion was eventful because of the happy recollections passed. Bristow Payne's sister has just arrived from Colorado Springs to spend the holidays.

Scott's Methodist church will have Sunday service at 11 a. m., 3 and 7:30 p. m. The revival will close next Sunday. Rev. Bruce at that time will preach his last sermon. The public is invited to all services. The afternoon service is a special one. XMAS GREETINGS. At the residence of Mrs. Chas. S. Muse, Thursday night, happened one of the most social events of the season in the way of a Xmas Greeting. Space will not permit us to comment upon the details, but the occasion demands that we should especially mention the beautiful ferns, elaborate Xmas decorations whose immense profusion was characteristically prominent. It was considered the social event of that section of the city. Many prominent people were present. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

SUNDAY ALLIANCE Continued from page 1 "Whittier," by Rev. H. W. Pinkham, who was introduced to the audience by C. W. Buford, who incidentally showed in his introductory speech the trueness of the man to follow his convictions by even, when necessity demanded, to ride in the "police patrol" to the city hall in the fight for the right. Rev. Pinkham, the one who so courageously took Tillman to task in a church of his own denomination, had before then no small grasp upon the love and esteem of the colored people. Rev. Pinkham is an admirable gentleman of a very sympathetic nature and who is living up to his Christian ideals, believing in the Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man. It meant more for a man of Rev. Pinkham's caliber to come to the Alliance and speak on such an event than to have other men, even though more eloquent and polished yet with less true sincerity and real appreciation than the Reverend. He has the true ring of truth and sincerity about his words and acts. His speech, which brought before the Alliance the stirring scenes of Whittier's pastoral and eventful life of anti-slavery persecution made not only Whittier more blessed and exalted but in the presentation the true character of the Reverend was shown. The applause of the speech was deafening and lasted for several minutes, after which the Reverend bowed his recognition. To Mr. A. A. Waller, director of the Choral Club, who led the vast audience, much credit and thanks is given for the way he so successfully conducted the patriotic music. To the lady ushers, Misses Norah Findlay, Eva Frazier, Geraldine Troutman, Helen Buford and Virgie Webster, who so comfortably and politely seated the crowd that not one complaint was heard. The committee consisting of Mrs. C. W. Buford, J. J. Manuel and George G. Ross as chairman, were responsible for the success of the event and are full of smiles as the consequence. Hon. Frank Johnson will speak Sunday at the Alliance and has a special message to the mothers and fathers of this city. An elaborate musical program has been arranged. Come early. A pocketbook containing $1.50, which belonged to a member of the Choral Society was "mistakenly" misplaced by some one and the one guilty of such an act will please return it to Rev. Ward. BROUGHT JAY GOULD TO TIME Woman Made Financier Pay for Her "Watermilliona." While Jay Gould was superintending the building of the old Rutland & Washington railroad, between Rutland, Vt., and Eagle Bridge, N. Y., in the late summer of 1852, it became necessary to cross a large farm in the town of Castleton, belonging to Mrs. Ann Dineen, so a strip of her property was obtained. A fine patch of watermelons on the place was too strong a temptation for the one hundred or more men in the construction gang, and in a day or two the patch was melonless. Mra. Dineen complained to Gould, but he disclaimed any responsibility for the acts of the workmen and refused to recompense her for her loss. A day or two later Mr. Gould and one or two of his engineers were obtaining relief from the effects of the hot weather by taking a swim in the Castleton river, when suddenly Mra. Dineed appeared on the bank. Gathering up all the clothes of the bathera the woman made a motion as though to throw them into the water and shouted: "Will yes pay me for thin water millions now, Mr. Gould?" The promoter's trousers contained a timepiece worth a large sum and other valuables which immersion would not have benefited, so he agreed to settle for the stolen fruit if she would go to his office the next day. The promise was satisfactory, and Mrs. Dineen recreated in triumph. Learning. Elizabeth, a little Boston is ? this summer. Quite an old now is Elizabeth. "You do not me as well as you did when you a two years old," observed her grin another. "You see, I didn't know anything then, and so, of course, I always did just what any one told me to," replied Elizabeth. French Colonies Prosper. The French colonies on the west coast of Africa are increasing in importance every year, and are receiving zealous attention from the French government. The United States exported to these colonies in 1900 $657,266 worth, and received therefrom products to the value of $601,165. Would Be Rank Ingratitude It hardly seems possible that Miss Agnes Moran of New York will now give the cold shoulder to her lover because he has been arrested for stealing, in his endeavor to get money enough to enable him to marry her. Such evidences of affection are touching and unusual. New Orders for Women. King Edward VII. is to establish a new order, it is said, which will confer honor on distinguished women. Since the Baroness Burdett Coutts received her title, no woman has been elevated to the peerage because of her philanthropic benefactions. Fishes in Indian Ocean. Nearly one-half of the flabes caught in the Indian ocean by the Slades trust deep sea exploring expedition belonged to species not heretofore described in any books. Exornous specimens were found of black corals, the rarest of all corals. PAGE & Requested One Favor. Eugene Spuller was minister of public instruction when Casimir-Perier was president of France. When the doorkeeper brought him his letters one morning Spuller said to him: "Were you not supposed to be on duty last night at 11:30 o'clock?" 'Yes, sir.' "And you were not there?" "That is correct," replied the doorkeeper, "but I have a sick mother, your excellency. I wished to visit her." "Quite proper," returned Spuller, "and I hope your mother will soon recover. But I would like to ask you one favor. If you go to visit your mother once more, please have the kindness not to lock me in my office. I had to spend the night at this desk because I could not get out!" 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 hair and after a long chase and making a large circle ends by returning to the nest from which she started. Plants and Perfumes. Plants with white blossoms have a larger proportion of fragrant species than any others; next comes red, then yellow and blue. Many of the flowers of spring are white and highly fragrant; those of autumn and winter being darker, with less perfume. Dangerous Either Way. Because of the number of homicides in the United States a statistician concludes that it is dangerous to be alive. However, considering the number of commandments that are broken, it is equally dangerous to be dead.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Over-Fatigue. The extraordinary activity of little children makes it extremely necessary that they should have frequent periods of rest. The ordinary lie-down after the morning outing is not enough. Care should be taken that quiet games follow noisy ones. Speed of Carrier Pigeons. Carrier pigeons, in calm weather, can travel at a speed of 1,200 yards a minute. With a brisk wind prevailing and blowing in the direction of its flight a pigeon has been known to make 1,900 yards in a minute. Pray for Others. Unless we pray for others, we are lacking in that spirit in which alone we can pray hopefully for ourselves, and we are living in neglect of a prime duty to God's dear ones who need and deserve our prayers. Society Improving. In Pennsylvania the other day 70 people celebrated the thirteenth birthday of a horse. At any rate, that is an improvement on the Newport dog and monkey society events. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. In London a child is born every three minutes, and a death is recorded every five minutes. The city contains 700 railway stations, 5,000 omnibuses, 7,000 hansoms, 14,000 cabs and 7,000 tram cars. Daily 1,000,000 persons travel on underground railways. Vatican Refuses Large Sums. Italy, under the law of papal guarantees, would give $800,000 a year to the pope, but Vatican financiers hesitate to accept this, partly from political reasons, partly because they feel it would discourage contributions from abroad. To Publish Renan's Works. When Renan died he left nine volumes in manuscript, containing the notes of his young manhood on religion, philosophy, history and life. He never meant to publish them, but it appears that his daughter has decided to do so. Small Wonder He Died. A native doctor in India, in certifying to a death, wrote: "I am of a mind that he died (or lost his life) for want of foodings, or on account of starvation. Maybe also for other things of his comfortables." Brought Good Prices For a small silver cup of the Commonwealth period, weighing three ounces, $150 an ounce was paid in London recently, while a Charles II. tumbler, with the York hall mark of 1682, brought $100 an ounce. Point About Tuning Forks. If two tuning forks of the same pitch are placed facing each other—the one sounding, the other silent—in a few seconds the silent one will be giving out a distinctly audible note. Last of Famous Family. Ex-Senator W. D. Washburn of Minnesota is a picture of robust and placid old age. Het is the only survivor of seven brothers, four of whom attained national fame. Three of the Washburns, Israel, Elihu B. and Cadwallader C., were members of the national House of Representatives at the same time, the only instance in the political history of this government when three men thus related had seats in Congress simultaneously. Poorly Paid Clergy. The best-paid clergy in Siberia get about $600 a year, while the poorer ones have often to beg for their bread All priests must fast 226 days in the year, and monastic priests are joined never to eat meat. Flower Furnishes Blacking. An Australian flower of the hibiscus specie is often used as blacking, the juice squeezed from four blossome giving enough liquid to coat a shoe with a fine luster. Tree Furnishes Water Supply. A species of tree is found growing on an island off the coast of Africa, the condensing power of the leaves of which furnishes the sole water supply of the island. Handkerchiefs Made in 1743. The first pocket hadnkerchiefs utilized in the manner they are to-day were manufactured at Paisley in 1748. COSMOPOLITAN CAFE AND CHILI PARLORS ROBERT CARRUTH Props.

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.

This note is to let the readers of your paper know that I have been holding regular meetings, twice a week; have hired no one to appeal to ‘officers of the law for pro- tection; have not been arrested save arresting myself and allowed the au- dience to question me for three hours on the 17th inst., in Howe hall, and having finished my three months’ lec- ture course I shall leave soon after New Years on a tour in Colorado, east and south, to return the latter part of 1908 with more Love and Truth for Denver. Accept my thanks for your able ed- itorial In my defense and may all of your readers have confidence in your mission—to publish Truth and let the “chips fall where they may.” Very sincerely, REV. DR.

Sport Has Resulted in Improvement of Motor Craft. Out of bicycle racing evolved the present-day bicycle, handsome conven- fent, light, serviceable and’ inexzpen- sive. Automobile racing has had like effect, and the clumsy motor cars of a year or two ago are replaced by cars of greatly improved design. So it is also with motor boats, says Field and Stream, the new sport of “auto” boat racing already beginning to show its effects in the general improvement of power boats, Competition means segregation, and the tail-enders go to the boneyard. ence the humble half owner of a two-horse tender has a reserved seat at a knothole whenever there ig any: thing doing in the motor-boat arena.

Confession—Consolation. Let a friendly heart divine our sor- Tows and force us to confess them, and we find in this confession a con. solation a thousand times sweeter than the absolute silence which flat. tered our pride.—Viscountess De Lar Continued from page 1 In this case, if one happens to lose one of his investments, or even two, his chances are good to make enough on the others to offset his losses. But one who closely follows the market, and uses the same amount of discretion when purchasing a stock as he would if he were buying a horse, can select three winners out of four. At least that has been my experience. For instance, I invested last year $3,000 at different times in 19 propositions and lost on only four of them; but, after deducting my losses, I had a net profit of $1,700. If my 19 men had made the same investments in a co-operative way, none of them would have lost. On the other hand, each would have shared the $1,700 profit. As long as I am in business, I shall hope to be able to say, "Not one of my clients ever lost," and it is my honest opinion that by following the plan outlined our chances of losing are reduced to a minimum." The thought at once occurred to me, Why has not some one thought of this scheme before? The answer, I suspect, lies in this, namely, that brokers who buy and sell stock for the public are interested primarily in their commissions, regardless of what kind of stock they buy or sell. It does not matter very much to them whether their clients make or lose so long as they get their commissions for buying and selling. On the other hand, Mr. Taylor would safeguard in every possible way the interest of those who invest with him, because he believes no doubt that in the long run that is the wise, the honest, the just thing to do. Here is what the Mercantile and Financial Times, one of the oldest and most conservative papers of the Wall street district, says of this gifted young man: "Financial Notes of Interest. "The announcement to the effect that Mr. Robert M. Taylor is about to start a stock brokerage office in the Wall street center has caused considerable interest in financial and business circles generally, owing to the fact that Mr. Taylor is the first colored gentleman of prominence to enter the domain of activity. "For a period of 14 years Mr. Taylor, who is a gentleman of sound experience and ability, has acted as the THE STATESMAN, DENVER. financial secretary of Tuskegee Institute, rendering in that capacity important and valuable service, acquitting himself in a manner, in fact, to justify his high reputation for ability and the confidence reposed in him. The knowledge and experience he has thus acquired admirably qualify him to successfully carry out his new enterprise. Mr. Taylor is thoroughly acquainted with the financial situation and is fully capable of acting in an advisory capacity in all matters relating to the same. In an ably written pamphlet, Mr. Taylor has clearly set forth his purposes in starting this enterprise, which can be regarded as another proof of the progressive spirit of his race. Mr. Taylor has the support of certain important financial interests and starts out in his new field of endeavor under the most promising auspices. His offices are located at Nos. 35 and 37 Broad street." If there are members of the race who have doubted the ability of Mr. Taylor, the above testimonial ought to dissipate such doubts, for it is the testimonial of a recognized authority in questions concerning finance. Everyone who has something to invest, whether the sum be large or small, should not hesitate to put it in the hands of Mr. Taylor. Give him a chance to show what he can do, for his success as a financier will certainly shed new glory upon the entire race. CORRESPONDENT DEER LODGE NO. 1 Meets Every Thursday Night.

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.

"I see by the papers," said Mr. Grillfinby, "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. Denver.

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 Stormer 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. ```markdown ```
