ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE NINETEENTH YEAR ARRANGEN Will Lecture at Pueblo Jan. 23, Colorado Springs Jan. 24 and Denver Jan. 27. Jan. 27. The final arrangements have been made for the lecture of Prof. W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury. He will arrive in the state January 23 and will speak on that date at Pueblo. On the 26th he will speak at Colorado Springs under the auspices of the Sunday Forum of that city. He will come to Denver, speaking at Shorter Monday night, the 27th. After the speaking he will be the guest of honor at a banquet tendered him by the Lincoln Republican club. A number of citizens are associated with the club in the banquet and it is their desire that the honored guest may meet in this social function representative Coloradoans not only of Denver but of other points. To this end the widest publicity will be given the event and a general invitation is extended to all to come together to do the foremost negro holding government office. Denver is fortunate in securing an evening with Prof. Vernon. His time, such as he can spare from official duties, is taxed with the demands that the Southern states put upon him, for his reputation for oratory and statesmanship makes him much in demand. Through J. W. Jackson he comes to Denver and the warm welcome of the West will have to do its best to show appreciation of him as great as has the South. Yet since he is our own, being a Western man, the furtherest West of any such national appointment, the citizens at large are uniting with organizations to bring about the best results. --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY JANUARY 3, 1908 DR. COTTRELL LAID TO REST. Funeral From Zion Church—Interment in Fairmont Cemetery. Sunday afternoon the remains of Dr. W. J. Cottrell were laid to rest in the vault of Fairmount cemetery. The Odd Fellows of Rocky Mountain Lodge were in charge of the fraternal rites at the services and Rev. Douglass paid the last tribute of respect to his memory. Zion church was filled, notwithstanding the short notice given of the change of arrangements. Many a tear fell for the audience numbered many to whose afflictions he had ministered during the past six years. Pneumonia and later congestion of the brain were the causes of his death. He who had saved others, himself fell a victim to the grim reaper. Rarely has the whole community felt more afflicted than in this death. He was a brilliant surgeon, a painstaking and successful physician and a good business man, being one of the proprietors of Cottrell's Pharmacy and an owner of investment property. The element of tragedy in his deaht makes it the harder to give him up, for it is literally true that he was so wrapped up in several cases of dangerous illness that he was treating just prior to his death that he could not give the care to his own illness he otherwise would. To some heroes it comes to fall on the battlefield, in the mine, or at sea but to this physician, loyal to his calling, it has come to give up his life for the cause of suffering humanity. It is little wonder that we will miss him. His brother has many to sympathize with him. The bereaved sister and father in the East have the consciousness of mourning one who fought the good fight and lived well though not long. COLORADO BOY WINS A PRIZE In Music at Interstate Convention at Lawrence, Kans.-Denver Well Represented. At the recent session of the Interstate Literary Association of Kansas and the West, held at Lawrence, Kansas, Dec. 26th and 27th, where the best brain and talent is sent by the local literary societies throughout the states of Kansas, Misshouri, Nebraska, Iowa and Colorado, Mr. Clyde Andrews of Denver, Colorado, a musical student attending Western University at Quindaro, Kansas, carried off the first prize in the original music contest. Mr. Andrew's composition, which he has named "Nocturne," was a beautiful gem, full of rich harmony, charm and musical grace, and received the unanimous approval of the judges. It will be published and sold over the West by Prof. Robt. Jackson, director of the music department and Prof. Albert Ross, director of business department of Western University. Clyde Andrews is a Denver boy of whom we are all proud. Last year he won second prize in a similar contest at the Interstate. He is the son of our own Mrs. Ida M. McGuire, a popular member of Shorter A. M. E. church and the Azalia Hackley Choral Society, and is but reflecting the talents transmitted by a musical mother. The Statesman congratulates Mrs. McGuire upon the great success and honor her son has attained at this notable literary and musical gathering of the talented negroes of the Middle West. FIVE CENTS A COPY BOY IS A PRIZE NONE IS SPARED. The Monarch and the Serf Pass Through the Same Gate to the Holy City. Editor of The Statesman. Kind Sir:—If you will allow me a small space in your valuable paper to express a few thoughts I will feel very grateful to you. Some of my thoughts here presented were born in my mind last Sunday while witness-rell. There in my view lay the likeless remains of a noble, manly form of one whom we all so recently hailed in our midst. No sex is spared, no age exempt. The majestic and courtly roads which monarchs pass over, the way that the men of letters tread, the paths that the warrior traverses, the short and simple annals of the poor all lead to the same place, all terminate however varied in their routes, in that one enormous home which is appointed for all living. Death comes equally to us all and makes us all equal when it comes. The funeral eulogy pronounced by Rev. Charles Douglas was certainly a fitting tribute. And especially do I wish to repeat these most beautiful remarks: "A Christian's dying day will be his resting day, when he shall rest from all sin and care and trouble. His reaping day, when he shall reap the fruit he has sown in tears and faith. His conquering day, when he shall triumph over every enemy, and even death itself shall die." His words were food for the Christian soul. Continued on page 8 THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. THREE MEALS A D.... Latest Dietetic Wisdom, According to an Authority. There is another dietetic scare abroad just now. We are never suffered to be long without one, and perhaps it is because we are continually being swayed this way and that way that we manage, after all, to keep our balance. Having been solemnly warned against over eating, we are now being emphatically warned that we are in great danger of being underfed. There may be nothing in the new theory; but, in any case, it will serve to prove the wisdom of steering a middle course, which, put in its plain terms, means eating neither two, nor six, but three meals a day, of moderate proportions, which very few of us do, says Home Chat. Either we eat ridiculously, or we eat excessively, and then "cure" for six weeks. Family to Care for. Sallie, a negress, noted for being an excellent worker, was visited one day by one of her old employers. Her little shanty was very small, consisting of three rooms. "Well, Sallie," began her call: "I have not seen you for many yes but I have come to ask you to do me no cleaning for me. Will you me?" Duty of Encouragement. As ships meet at sea, a moment together, when words of greeting must be spoken, and then turn away into the deep, so men meet in this world; and I think we should cross no man's path without hailing him, and if he needs, giving him supplies.—Henry Ward Beecher. Typewriter for the Nerves. A prominent Boston physician has a new cure for nervous prostration. He is making all his patients use the typewriter, as he claims the concentration necessary to operate the machine is very soothing for nerves on strike. Collector's Strange Hobby. Lord Iveagh has one of the most curious hobbies in the world. This is the collection of old silver potato rings, which are large silver sockets in the form of rings into which the wooden bowls used for potatoes used to be fitted. Preference for Bullfighting. The Boston Record notes that once in a while one of the Sunday exhorters on the common startles the crowd with his hits. A well-known old spellbinder was comparing the vices and amusements of various countries and the relation between the two. In particular he described bullfighting in Spain and pugilism in this country. "And I don't know but what bullfighting is the better," he roared. "God Almighty made the bulls for beef. But when you kill a pugillist what use is he to anybody?" Seventy-Six Years in One House. James Hoffman of Washington township, Marion county, Indiana, was born seventy-six years ago in the house where he has lived ever since. That is to say, the log but in which he first saw the light is now a part of the residence he occupies.—Chicago Chronicle. GOLD NUGGET A BEAUTY. Alaskan Mine Has Probably the Largest Ever Found. It is not an uncommon thing to see men who have enough greenbacks to choke an elephant, but it's not often that one meets a man with a gold nugget large enough to make even a horse sick if he had to try to eat it without having it run through a quartz mill. There is a man in Los Angeles, Cal., however, who has the nugget, and he is the Klondike king, Clarence Berry, who has come from Alaska on a visit to his brother. The nugget might be likened to a man's hand with the palm turned upward, for it is over six inches long, almost four inches wide, is an inch thick at the thickest part, and "weighs" $1.510. There are few men who can dig such chunks of gold out of their own mines, but Clarence Berry is one of these lucky miners. He is one of the pioneers of the gold mines of Alaska, and having been one of the first men to get to the various rich diggings, his energy and perseverance have been rewarded with a large amount of gold. How much no one knows but he, and he won't tell Babes in the Wood. It is not alone in our great English cities that children are to be found who have never known the joys of a day in the country. There are—or were until a short time ago, two, at least of them in Berlin. But at last fortune changed their way, and into the country they were taken. They were not at first favorably impressed with what they saw, gazing about them with stolid disfavor. But in time they came to where a flock of sheep were feeding in a field. Then, indeed, little Max opened his eyes 'Look, Moritz!' he cried excitedly, 'there are lots and lots of sheep without wheels.'—London Tribune. Church Built of Fossils. Near the Niagara falls, in the little village of Mumford, stands a church which may be said to be literally built of fossils. At first glance the edifice would appear to be constructed of rough sandstone, covered with a coating of coarse plaster, which on nearer approach resolves itself into a delicate tracery of leaves, branches and twigs, preserved for all time by being metamorphosed into indurated masses of flinty limestone—permanent mementoes of some primeval breast. Disorder Makes Trouble. It is astonishing how all of us are generally cumbered up with the thousand and one hindrances and duties which are not such, but which, nevertheles, wind us about with their spider thread and fetter the movement of our wings. It is the lack of order which makes us slaves; the confusion of to-day discounts the freedom of to morrow. He 2 Millionaires of Yucatan. The wealth of the mines of Mexico is proverbial, yet there are nearly as many millionaires in Merida, the capital of Yucatan, a state with practically no mineral resources, as there are in all Mexico combined. Henequino or sisal hemp, as it is sometimes known, has made Meridaa and its people rich. $15.00 SCHRADSKY, THE TAILOR. 1601 Larimer Street Why not Patronize Home Industry Climax High Gra Low Prices 1454 Lawrence max Laundry Co.

Uncertain Birds to Which Rules Do Not Always Apply. The ruffed grouse is one of the uncertain birds to which no hard and fast rules will apply, says a writer in Outing, yet he has a few small peculiarities of which advantage may be taken. In wild, heavy woodland, his original haunt, he has a weakness for two things—an old toteroad, or any seldom used road, and the bank of a stream. A man trying a bit of woods with which he is unaccustomed probably will see more grouse near an old road than anywhere else. In hilly country the lower slopes of the ravines are apt to be the best ground. In level country the long strips of thicket bordering large blocks of standing timber are ideal places and if the thicket happens to mask the edge of a clover field so much the better. Never pass even a small thicket which stands out in a clover field with a wood upon any side. Grouse are fond of clover and until the winter sets in are apt to be in any fair shelter near the field. Later, in snow time, the borders and interior of large woodland swamps are the chosen places. If there be a region of thick, low-lying forest, having close-grown beech ridges here and there, these surely will repay the labor of beating them, for they are almost certain to be the strongholds of all the ruffed grouse of the neighborhood. Old windfalls and slashings are good because they afford acres of the sort of shelter the birds prefer in cold weather. ```markdown ``` Should a single bird flush, proceed warily and ready for instant action, for a second and perhaps three or four stragglers may be within gunshot of the spot. Ground good for one bird may be as attractive to three or four, although each individual remains some slight distance from the others. When beating border thickets with a comrade, I prefer to work in the cover about along the line where thicket and forest join. Most men will choose the outside, but ruffed grouse almost invariably dash for the wood, hence across the line of fire of the inside man. Such shots are none too easy and trees have a knack of getting in the way, yet as a general thing the inside position means the most fun. Origin of "February." February derived its name from the word februare, to "explate" or "purify," in consequence of the Roman festival of expiation and purification, celebrated on the 15th of the month. The ancient Saxons called it sprout-kale, from the sprouting of the cabbage at this season. Afterwards it was known as Sol-monat (sun month), the sun having now returned from the low latitudes to its higher course. Best Substitute Possible. An emu was one of the features of Baron's Court, the Irish residence of the duke of Abercorn. His grace was much interested, and on leaving for London one day, left instructions that he was to be informed of its welfare. Soon afterward the duke received a letter from the man left in charge giving the important fact that the emu had laid an egg. "And," continued the writer, "we have placed the emu in the absence of your grace, under the largest goose in Baron's Court." SENATOR HAD DATES MIXED. Why Missouri Statesman Was Late at Cabinet Dinner. Ex-Senator Cockrell probably is the only man in Washington who ever kept President Roosevelt waiting at a dinner. It was one of the cabinet dinners that were given by the secretary of the interior and Mrs. Hitchcock three years ago. The president and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in duet time, as did all the other guests except Senator Cockrell. After a delay of almost an hour Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests to the dining-room and dispatched a messenger to the residence of Senator Cockrell to make inquiries. Great fear was felt that the Missourian had started and had fallen by the way, as the day was a cold and wintry one. The fact was, however, that the senator was sitting quietly at home when the messenger got there, clad in his dressing gown and slippers and congratulating himself that he could be indoors. He had put the date of the dinner in his calendar in large and attractive handwriting, but had forgotten to turn a leaf and was, accordingly, a day behind time. No one appreciated the joke more than did the president, and the dinner that began in anxiety and apprehension ended in a big laugh at the dear old senator.—Denver Times. Geda of the Borneoa The natives of Borneo place rudely carved images of female figures by the side of the entrances to their huts. The image represents a goddess, which protects the house from any harm or sickness. If there should be illness previously to the placing of the butlong at the entrance she prevents it from becoming worse. Author's Bitter Words. In a catalogue of autograph letters the following words have been discovered written by Wordsworth, evidently to some member of the family of an unappreciative critics: "It is lucky for your publisher that the buyers of books have for the most part as little sense as the reviewers of them." Wild Rabbits in Chimney. An Atherton (England) sweep named Joshua Folland was sweeping the chimney of a home which had been unoccupied for some time at High Beckington, when to his great surprise, he swept down seven full-grown live wild rabbits, which he bagged. Mexico's Cil Fire. A picturesque sight can be seen in the Gulf of Mexico. It is an oil fire covering an area of about ten square miles, which is supposed to be fed by an oil spring at the bottom of the gulf. How it originated is a mystery. The scene presented is grand and aweinspiring, especially when viewed at night, the sea being brilliantly illuminated for many miles. Quack Dog Doctors. A member of the British Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons says: "The growth of quack dog doctors and bogus medicines during the last few years has been simply appalling. These 'dog specialists.' as they call themselves, are usually dog dealers with good knowledge of canine habits but absolute ignorance of medicine."

A Christmas tree well well laden with presents for the little ones and many an oder one's heart was made glad by the beautiful gifts. Rev. Bates and wife were well remembered. Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Butler deserve great credit for the program. Mr. Rice, the popular bartender of the Castaneda hotel, and Miss Nellie Cruel of Kansas City were married on the evening of the 18th, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. D. Denwitty. The bride is one of the most accomplished ladies of Kansas City. The Las Vegas people wish them much joy and success in their new life. Mr. R. Simins of La Junta, Colo., spent his Christmas in Las Vegas with his many friends. During his stay in Las Vegas he was the guest of Mrs. Edith Huston. Mr. J. W. Calloway entertained a few of his friends at a smoker Christmas afternoon. Those present were: Messrs. Hyde, John Smith, W. Brady, W. Whiteside, J. Corpal, I. Gilstrap, Chas. Faulkner. Sorry to say Mr. Gil- strap's head hasn't got straight yet. He thought that lady had just arrived from Texas, but when he found himself it was only a lamp post. Too much eggnog. All reported having a delightful time. Mrs. L. Butler also entertained Christmas in honor of Mr. R. Simins. Rev. and Mrs. Bates were present. Everybody is glad to see Miss Beatrice Dunlap out again. Messrs. Fred Logan and Chas. Holmes hold a fine position with the Santa Fe. Both are popular young men of Las Vegas. We hope they will do justice to the honor bestowed upon them as our race of people have so few positions given them. Mr. Ruse, who came to Las Vegas a few months ago for his health, died on the morning of the 18th. He leaves a wife to mourn his loss and she has the heartfelt sympathy of all the people of Las Vegas. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Brown have purchased themselves a cozy little home on Railroad avenue. Another property owner added to the people of Las Vegas. Mrs. Fannie Jones of 714 Douglas avenue is on the sick list. We wish her a speedy recovery. Mrs. Hattle Huston is real sick. She is confined to her bed. We wish her a speedy recovery. Mrs. Tillie Jackson of Trinidad, Colo., is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Lydia Huston. Her old friends are glad to see her once more, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Miss Ella Harris of Guthrie, Okla., is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson. As the old year is nearly out and the new year is approaching, let us live a better life this coming year. Let us do away with malice, hatred and backbiting and talking about one another. Let us love God better. For if we love God better we will love one another. Let us bury the hatchet of malice and envy, but do not leave the handle out, like the Indians, so we can pull it up every time we get mad. Let us be Christians and not hypocrites and do more praying. Happy New Year to all. LARAMIE, WYO., NEWS. The program rendered on Christmas eve by the Mount Olive Baptist Sunday school proved quite a success and was highly enjoyable. Mrs. Jennie Rhone, who has been quite ill for the past two weeks, is able to be around again. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Crumley died from bronchitis on Dec. 19th.

Many good things were given Rev. Brannon Christmas. --- Subscribers to this paper will please bear in mind that they will confer a favor on us by notifying us at once whenever the paper is irregular in delivery or is late.

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.

THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. So Many Man Eater in South China That Natives Want Them Killed. Never have there been more deaths caused by tigers than during the last six months. In one village alone in Holpu region not far from No Ma, which can be reached by the steamship Nanking every two or three days from Macao, there is a small village which has lost ten persons on account of tigers, while in the same region some twenty more persons have paid the penalty of their lives on account of these ferocious animals. Why cannot some of the Nimrods of Hongkong inaugurate a great hunt and thus clear out these monsters which have become a menace to the Chinese? Innocent women and laughing children would be forever thankful to any one who would deliver them from this curse, which they dread so much. The Chinese seem to have no skill in exterminating or catching these wily beasts, or perhaps they fear to molest them, lest the tiger spirits may injure their persons in the future. Be that as it may, it is a great shame that not more than one hundred to one hundred and twenty miles from Hongkong, within easy reach, these wild beasts are permitted to carry on their depredations. Let those who delight to shoot the innocent and harmless birds once try a good sized tiger for a target and the Chinese will rise up and call them blessed and immortalize their name and deed in verse.—Hongkong Telegraph. The Grateful Undertaker. In a New York suburban village a young doctor recently established himself. The undertaker in the village is also the hardware dealer. The young doctor wanted a stove for his office and selected one, the undertaker-hardwareman saying: "Try it and if it works you can pay me. If it is not big enough, send it back and I will let you try another." The stove proved satisfactory and the medical youth so informed the man of two trades, asking for his bill. In reply he got a receipted bill. Meeting the undertaker in the barber shop next day the doctor said: "How is this, Mr. Blank? You sent me a receipted bill for that stove." "Oh, that's all right," replied the funeral director, "you have done many favors for me since you settled here. Only a little acknowledgment of my indebtedness to you." "Awfully obliged," said the doctor and then he wondered why it was that everybody in the barber shop burst into a guffaw of laughter. Uncle Samuel's Exporta Uncle Sam's leading markets, next to the United Kingdom, Germany and France, are Belgium and the Netherlands, almost the smallest of European countries. The United Kingdom is the largest European purchaser of American commodities, Germany next, then France, then the Netherlands, then Belgium. The total exports from America to the Netherlands amounted in 1905 to $73,000,000, and America's imports from the Netherlands to practically $22,000,000. American exports to Belgium in 1905 amounted to $38,500,000, and our total imports therefrom practically $26,000,000 resulting in a total of $160,000,000 of trade with these two small countries whose combined area is less than that of the state of Ohio and whose combined population is but $12,000,000. BLIND HAVE MANY AMUSEMENTS Handicap of Loss of Sight Overcome in Many Ways. With closed eyes, two young men in the blind asylum were playing chess. The board they played on had the black squares raised and the white ones sunken, while the black pieces were rough and the white ones smooth. "Give us this handicap on account of our blindness," said one of the young men, "and we will play as quick and accurate a game of chess as anybody. Give us checkers and a checker board constructed on the same plan, and there, too, our playing will equal yours. "I would rather be blind than deaf," he went on. "Blindness doesn't rob you of much. The blind are excellent anglers. They play a good game of euchre, or poker, or bridge. They use cards that have embossed pipa. "The blind are good runners, good gymnasts. In our last sports the hundred yards were done in under twelve seconds, and on the horizontal and parallel bare, the giant swing, the corkscrew, the straight arm balance and the finger balance were executed in a way that elicited salvos of applause. "Personal" Easy to Understand. William H. Ellis, the negro promoter, who has returned from Abyssinia with the dukedom of Harrar to show as a mark of Menelik's favor was asked the other day if he was glad to get back home. "I am glad to get home," said Mr Ellis, laying down his newspaper "Even the personal column of the daily press pleases me with its home like look. "I read the personals of this paper here. It was amusing. One of the items ran: "'Alonzo—Return at once to you Matilda The piano has been sold." Maud Consented. An absent-minded clergyman tells how once he was unconsciously responsible for helping a bashful lover. His mind was filled with a subtle theological problem when a neighbor's daughter passed in company with a diffident youth. His thoughts were interrupted as she called out to him: "Oh, doctor, we are just going for a ramble. Won't you join us?" "With pleasure. Do you want the ceremony in a church?" The bashful lover was suddenly fired with an enthusiasm that four years of gnawing at his heartstrings had failed to arouse, and he fairly shouted: "Yes, yes, and If Maud consents, the sooner the better."—Philadelphia Public Ledger. An Expert. "You must make your window dis plays according to the weather," said the successful merchant to the new clerk. "On sunny days, have dress goods of bright colors; when it's col show dark, heavy fabrics. Thus you will catch the women." "I see. And when it rains., I am to make a display of umbrellas, I sup pose?" "Not at all. Fill the window with fancy hose." Perennial Failure. "Old Doughgraft has made another assignment. It's getting to be chron with him, isn't it?" "Oh, yes! The boys on the street refer to him as 'Old Peach Oron.'" PAGE 13. C. H. HOLLY J. R.

COLORADO. With Skins at $450 Each, Prices Soar into Thousands. The two most expensive Sable coats in the world are worn by the empress of Russia and Queen Maud of Norway. The empress' coat is made from pure sables, the best which could be obtained in Europe, and is valued by an expert in furs at something between $250,000 and $400,000, while that which Queen Maud wears would be worth nearly half as much. The manager of a London firm said that within the last two years the price of sable had increased by 75 per cent., and was still going up. "The price is practically prohibitive," he said, "and we have to find a substitute in top Russian sable, smart sets of which cost as much as $1,000. If the same were made in real sable the price would be about $7,500 or more. "There is as much gambling in sables as there is on the stock exchange. The furriers have all sold out, and the demand is still great. People are now beginning to pass sables down as heirlooms—and valuable they re, too, at $450 a skin." WAS WILLING TO PAY. Judge Lawrence Evidently Appreciated His Own Importance. During his early days as a public speaker, and while he was yet judge of a district court, Congressman George P. Lawrence was invited to make one of his first public addresses before a large body—the board of trade and invited guests. The event was one which brought together all of the principal business and professional men of the section, and plates were $2 each. On the night of the banquet the judge appeared at the door, and the ticket seller, not noticing who it was that tendered a $2 bill for a ticket, handed Mr. Lawrence one, and pocketed the money. Then he recognized him and said, with an apology, that it was not necessary for him to pay to enter. The judge threw out his chest and remarked with dignity: "I will have you understand sir, that I am willing to pay $2 any time to hear Judge Lawrence speak." And he didn't take back his money. Going up. First Sailor—On my last voyage I saw waves 100 feet high. Second Sailor—I've been a sailor 40 years and never seen 'em over 40. First Sailor—P'r'aps not; but everything is higher now than it used to be, mate—London Scraps. The World's Alphabets. The alphabets of the various languages of the world vary from 12 to 202 letters.

Sacred White Elephant. Some forty-five years ago the king of Siam possessed a white elephant which was the chief delight and pride of the sovereign in spite of his high education and good intellect. As the greatest compliment he could think of paying to the queen of England, he sent her, by the hands of her envoy, a few hairs pulled expressly for her from the tail of his beloved animal. Later, when the object of his affections died, he sent to his friend, Sir John Bowring, a touching letter in English and a small piece of "its beautiful white skin." Mr. and Mrs. McKennie of Las Animas are in our city to remain indefinitely. Mrs. N. Clemons, Miss Ida Davis and Mr. Alonzo Brown of Rocky Ford attended the Christmas exercises at the church. Mrs. L.

Lenor! the recitation by Mrs. J. W. Wilson and "The Death of Little Tim," by Miss Beatrice Tyler could not have been excelled, and the beautiful Christmas tree was loaded until its limbs were breaking with many beautiful and useful presents. While Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Prince and Mrs. John Marshall were in Rocky Ford Christmas day they were entertained to an elaborate dinner at the home of Mrs. U. Clemons. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. James S. Scott on East First street, there was a lovely seven-course dinner served last Sunday.

"I saw a freak in birdology as I was coming from my house to my office and called the attention of two others to it who were standing near by. There were several robins running about in the yard adjoining my lot and among them was one with a white head and neck. Will the president of the Audubon society please tell us how to account for it?" Pending Mr. Pearson's explanation, says the Charlotte News and Observer, we would suggest that a robin never runs, since he can use one leg only synchronously with the other, and both have to go the same way at once. It is a funny thing about a robin's legs, but they are dependent to a degree. Perhaps the robin ran because he was white-headed. Now, why he is white-headed is another question. The principle of the albion characteristics of heads that once were black and now are white has never been solved except by those concerns which advertise to make white heads black—and they won't tell. But if this robin has learned how to run, he is the oldest in the flock certainly. We put it down to old age as a hazard. 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 it 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. Miss Neil Havens, of San Francisco, is the only woman recognized by the government as an expert in photography. She has studied the Bertillon system of identification and pictures taken by her are accepted by authorities equal to those made by Bertillon himself. Training the Stainmering Child. In training the stammering child make him repeat slowly from a spelling book a number of words of one syllable. When he blunders make him go over the word again, insisting that he does not hurry, and that he takes before each utterance a full breath. Then go on to words of two and so to those of three syllables. Make him attack each syllable as a separate word and in the course of a few weeks you will find him able to say many-syllabled words without a break. Unkind Asperaion. Capt. Whelpley, postmaster of Saem, Mass., tells the following story of a friend who is a prominent doctor. "I wanted to be a soldier," said the physician, "but my parents persuaded me to study medicine." "Oh, well," rejoined one of the party, "such is life. Many a man with wholesale aspirations has to confront himself with a retail business." --- MRS. M. A. HOLLEY Graduate of Mrs. M. A.

Fidelity is the one quality in which all the world rejoices and the silent fidelity of the children of God is winning daily victories for his cause, where knowledge, riches and eloquence are lacking.—Edgar W. Work. Value of Small Things. Small kindnesses, small courtesies, small considerations, habitually practised in our social intercourse, give a greater charm to the character than the display of great talents and accomplishments.—M. A. Kelly. Values of Various Furs. According to the value of the fur, the sea otter heads the list and is followed by the silver fox, which is worth a hundred times as much as a red fox, the latter bringing only a dollar or two.

Physical Impossibility with His Nether Limbs Clothed as They Were. "I beg your pardon, but I'm in trouble," said a man who was well dressed and plainly excited to Sergt. Temperly at No. 3 police station, Armourdale, relates the Kansas City Journal. "Can you help me out?" "I'll do my best," answered the obliging sergeant. "Sit down and tell me about it." "No, I simply can't sit down," said the man, nervously. "Must be serious to affect you like that," said the sergeant. "What is it?" "You see, it is this way," said the man. "I came in on an early train from the west; and as I got up late, when the train was but a few minutes from the Union depot, I dressed in all haste. I had some business to attend to in Armourdale right away, and I paid my street car fare from some change I had in my overcoat pocket. But when I was standing at the corner of Fifth and Kansas a moment ago, for the first time I unbutoned my overcoat and looked inside, and found—" "That you had been robbed while on the train?" broke in the sergeant, interestedly. "No," said the man, "I found that I had put my trousers on backward, and I can't sit down. What I want is a private place to change 'em." "Jim" Macomber Had Dry Feet. Old "Jim" Macomber lives alone on a small island in Lake Boone, but he by no means shuns society, especially the convivial, says a writer in the Boston Herald. At a farewell celebration given at the close of the past season by one of the summer cottagers "Jim" was an invited guest, and when the party broke up, after mid-light, and he set out for his island, he was so completely bewildered that he spent the night groping about in the thick bushes behind the barn, searching for his boat. Meantime, one of the visiting cottagers, who was almost as befuddled as "Jim" was, waded out into the water and climbed into his boat from: the further end, and then drifted about on the lake for the rest of the night, and until daylight brought something of soberness. When the company assembled in the morning there was much joking at the expense of the pair. The discomfited cottager, in desperation, tried to turn attention from himself to "Jim" by remarking: "Jim, I hear that you were looking for your boat out in the bushes last night, a half-mile from shore." Immediately came the retort from "Jim": "Wal, ef I was, I didn't get my feet wet, by gosh." Youthful Gallant A Bostonian was talking about the late Henry Harland. "Harland was a graceful, gallant soul," he said. "Even in his boyhood he turned the prettiest compliments. "In his boyhood he studied Latin under a charming young lady. "This young lady, calling him up in class one morning, said: "'Henry, name some of the chief beauties of education.' "The boy, smiling into his teacher's pretty eyes, answered: "'Schoolgirlresses.'" THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Keeping Youthful Things. A busy woman once said that she never knew how much she could accomplish until she became the companion of her young sons, sharing their sports and limiting her own working hours to theirs. To-day they are young men and she looks like their sister. There are other young mothers of grown men and they are rather formidable rivals to younger women. The sons unconsciously make comparisons, generally in favor of mother. It is beautiful to "grow up" in this fashion with one's children, says a writer; to keep pace with them in new studies and new thoughts, something like a second youth. We are so quick to put away youthful things unless we have some such incentive to hold them. The Nicest Way He Knew. A Boston physician has two young hopefuls, Master Tommy and Miss Jennie, the latter the elder by a year or two. A few days ago Master Tom came in, whimpering, with the complaint: "Papa, Jennie's got my roller skates on, and I want 'em, and she won't give 'em to me." "Did you ask her for them kindly, my son?" "Yes, papa." "Well, suppose you go back and try again. Ask her just the nicest way you know, and see if you can't get them." The youngster trotted out, and the father from the doorway heard him ask in wheedling tones: "Jennie, for God's sake, let me take them skates!" All the Particulars. French gendarme sent in the following report to his superior officer recently: "The undersigned declares that at ten o'clock in the morning he passed in such a street and saw two women and two men in a shop occupied in breaking glasses, the two women by the hair of their heads and the two men by the scruff of their necks, and of which one had a broomstick, which was the master of the shop and which affair the undersigned has nothing to say and knows nothing about it." Continual Scheming. They were calling on the garret bard. "And I suppose it is essential that you poets should have wonderful imaginations?" ventured the pretty girl. "Well, I should say so," replied the poet, as he lashed off another spring sonnet. "If we didn't have wonderful imaginations we could never create the yarns we tell our creditors when they come around looking for money." They Don't Grow There.

The leaves talked in the twilight, dear; Hearken the tale they told; How, in some far-off place and year, Before the world grew old. I was a dreaming forest tree. You were a wild, sweet bird That sheltered at the heart of me. Because the north wind stirred. How, when the chiding gale was still, When peace fell soft on fear. You stayed one golden hour to fill My dream with singing, dear. To-night the selfsame songs are sung The first green forest heard; My heart and the gray world grow young To shelter you, my bird. --Sophie Jewett, in Scribner's. THE A. M. LAWHORN CO.

The crowd gathered early and filled the hall. The social success which is always attendant upon public events of this nature given by the Masons was even enhanced this year and their friends and patrons all enjoyed themselves. J. R. Contee had an efficient committee assisting him in the arrangements. The prizes this year were even more valuable than last and much interest attached to the distribution.

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.

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." Anta 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." 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 Mariborough, 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 Roxburghe and the Marchioness of Dufferin both have a large number of tuquesises THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Duten for Oll King. W. W. Scott, a Passaic (N. J.) lawyer, is negotiating with persons of Holland descent of that city in an attempt to induce 12 to go to Cleveland, O., and take up their homes at Forest Hill, the estate of John D. Rockefeller. A. H. Howatt, general superintendent of the Rockefeller estate, was in Passaic recently and made arrangements with Mr. Scott to secure the families. Much difficulty is encountered in securing help, he said, and after years of experiment Mr. Rockefeller has come to the conclusion that the Jersey Dutch are superior to all others and has decided to employ them exclusively on his Ohio estate. Children's Companions. Every mother has more or less of a problem on her hands in the matter of her childre's companions, and it is sometimes a delicate affair to avoid pharisaism, ill-feeling between neighbors, and the spirit of antagonism at home, in an effort to prevent undesirable intimacies. Little children are safest when at play directly under the mother's eye, but, as they develop, it is wise, I believe, to fortify them with right principles and then to trust them and show them that we do! Her Chance to Abuse Him. "Lady," said Plodding Pete, "are you one o' dese people dat hates tramps?" "I am," was the prompt and decisive answer. "Well, wouldn't you like to show your feelin's by temptin' me to overeat myself an' puttin' the curse of dyspepsia on me?" The Marrying Habit. "Yes, lady," said the convict, "my trouble wuz dat I attended too many weddin's." "Ah!" exclaimed the prison visitor, "I suppose that started you in the drink habit?" "No, lady; de trouble wuz dat I wuz de bride grum at all o' them." Scalplock More Than Ornament. Suspended from a chandelier over his desk in the office of Police Commissioner McAdoo of New York, is a lock of brown hair. It is about ten inches long and one end is inclosed in a beaded sack made of buffalo hide. The curiosity of a reporter who happened in the commissioner's office was aroused. "What's that lock of hair, Mr. McAdoo?" was the inquisitive one's question. "Oh, that's a scalp given to me by the Indians at the St. Louis exposition," said the commissioner. "It's there to serve as a warning to inquisitive reporters." Seven Years Dog's Average Life. The average life of a dog is about seven years, although some live to be much older than that. The Germans give wornout horses a tonic of roasted coffee beans mixed with honey. Beak to Deceive Gods. In cases of drought it is custom ary in China to organize processions to the temples, everybody going barehead. If they meet any one in a covered chair or carrying a sunshade, they destroy the chair and the shade, in the belief that the gods will be merciful and grant relief sooner if everybody is suffering from the heat. ```markdown ``` CLU Cigars and A Pleasant Pl for Pleasant Po 2343 Larimer St. Phone ader The Leader We are the public 2057½ La hair good all kinds, have a f latest Pan nets of all Miss G.

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 menticned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

The hope was expressed in these columns two weeks ago that Governor Buchtel would recognize the claims that his colored constituents had upon him and extend his holiday clemency to some colored convict. He has done it. On the anniversary of the emancipation celebration he pardoned Convict Freeman. This act on his part is new to Colorado governors and some attention is due it from the various public organizations we have. A word of thanks and appreciation is due him and on behalf of the people of this state we now wish him a fourfold return of his kindliness. Again I saw, surrounding the bier, the pleasant faces of our Odd Fellow brethren. Though their faces expressed sorrow their willing hearts and hands were open and ready to administer the last sad rite, which through friendship, love and truth belonged to him. My mind was carried back for a few weeks when I laid next door to death, these same dear brethren came to me with kind words, open hearts and hands and administered unto my comfort and needs. I have been closely allied to them for twenty years and can only say I am proud and happy of the privilege of belonging to such an organization, and do most sincerely thank them one and all for their kindness and what I say of the Odd Fellows I also say of the Masonic fraternity, of which I have been a member in a true brotherly spirit for more than forty years, and say to all young men that you can never do any better than to knock for admission to one or both of the above-mentioned fraternities.

He having proven himself in- nocent was released. He is a very luck man, for had he been in some of the Southern states, such as Texas, he would have been lynched. The white people hearing immediately of the discovery, former their opinion that he was the guilty one and were preparing to lynch him. There must have been a breeze that passed through the air warning them of their danger. There were from 20 to 25 of our men armed with rifles, shot- guns and revolvers awaiting their ar- rival. Had they made an attempt to lynch that man there certainly would have been something doing every minute. We are proud of those men who as- sembled together last Friday night for the purpose of protecting their fellow man, We only wish that there were (en thousand other places that would have the courage to step for- ward in the way, for the same pur- pose.

The past week has been one con: unual round of pleasure for all Albu- querquans, both old and young, with Christmastide and spirit in evidence everywhere. The Christmas entertainments were formally opened by the Sunday school on Christmas eve, Excellent were the programs presented at both the Methodist and Baptist churches. The churches were beautifully deco- rated with the Christmas colors. At the Baptist church was the usual Christmas tree, tastefully trimmed with all sorts of Christmas trinkets. Instead of the tree at the Methodist churvh was the Christmas cross. Everything was in keeping with the cross, even to the candy boxes which were tn the shape of stars, plenteous- ly sprinkled with diamond dust. In short all the decorating was so har- monously blended that the general ef- fect was very striking. At both churches were large and appreciative crowds. large number of presents were distributed in each church, dis- playing the good fellowship abiding among the citizens of Albuquerque. At his home on Christmas day Rey. M. Jones served a well appointed din- ner to a number of his Masonic brethren. Others who entertained their friends with the usual Christmas menu were mesdames Thornton, Black, Jasper, Austin and Plumb. The concert and ball given by the Pythian Knights was a success in ev- ery way. An excellent program was rendered, Rey. M. Jones_being master of ceremonies. After the concert the floor was cleared and dancing was indulged in by the younger set until a late hour. Owing to the united ef. forts of the committees it was the “affair” of the season, and will always be a pleasant reminiscence to all who were present, Mrs. Robinson, a former resident of this city who returned a few weeks ago from Las Vegas, is quite ill at this writing. Mrs. John Collins and infant son are also on the sick list, both being victims of that prevailing la grippet. _ Mr. Green Watson, who has been ‘confined to his bed for a week or more, is up and about and able to at- tend to his business again. Mr. C. F. Payne, the genial dancing master, is also on the sick list this week, not too much Christmas, but ‘rother too much la grippe. ) | Trees Becoming Scarce. Tt is almost an instinct with des- vendants of the earlier settler of this country that trees are to be got out of the way so as to make land for cultivation, Until recently there were too many trees and clearing land was one of the hard, necessary tasks. Now the condition is different but the old feeling that there are always plenty of trees lingers, and with it the notion ‘hat a little extra labor in cutting and hauling timber so as to preserve the forest is sheer waste of time. But the forests are disappearing in some places where they are much needed and they do not return for a long time when they have been cut clean — Hartford, Conn..

Germany has taken up the pastime of reading character and telling for- tunes by the tongue. Somebody has been making a study of the organ of speech and has discovered that i& is full of indications. A long tongue is said to denote openness of character, it suggests gen- erosity and free handedness. Its pos- sessor makes friends and enemies easily, but doesn’t save money. When the tongue is-long and thick the openness degenerates into a ten- dency to gossip and scandal. The fu- ture of the owner is beset with trou- bles of his own making. It also indi- cates flightiness and inconstancy. Short tongues indicate secretiveness and dissimulation. Their owners make good detectives and attorneys. The owner may acquire some money by economy and guile, but has mot largeness of spirit to make a great fortune. Thin pointed tongues are found in difident people who ée not succeed in life. Short and broad ones secompany craft and falsehood; the pessom who has such a tongue is compelled a it to ceive and betray, whatever he ‘ay make to keep straight. The vibrant, quavering tongue de notes the artistic temperament. Bril- Nant carmine hue is a sign of long life, pale pink tongue denotes weak- ness of character and delicacy of coa- stitution. “Tf {it’s all true.” says a German newspaper, “it is lucky that it is only at the doctor and not at our friends that we stick out our teagues.” To Help Women from Cars. As the gtrl alighted from the trolley car sie turned to her escort approv- ingly. -“Do you know you are a mam in a thousand?” she said. “I'm delighted to hear it,” he an- swered radiantly. “I mean about helping a girl of a car,” she said hastily. “You are the first man, but one, who has helped me off the car properly for a year. Men generally grab a woman by the elbow and hoist her shoulder high in the air. That makes her look awkward and feel cross. Or else they take hold of ber rrm with such a grip that it hurts, rumples her sleeve and pushes it up from her wrist. Sometimes they grab her hand, and she has urgent need of both hands to hold on to her skirt and to the side cf the car. Now, all she desires is that they gently but firmly slip one hand under her arm simply to steady her, help her to keep her balance, and that’s all. And that’s what you did.” “Well, who's the other man?” inguir- ed her escort. “Oh, that’s Jack,” she replied, blush- ingly. “We're engaged.” You get near the real valuation of man when you see him put a penny in the offering while he sings, “Take my life."—Chicago Tribune. ee THE ATTIC PHILOSOPHER.
