BON VIVANTS ENTERTAIN NINETEENTH YEAR BON VIVAN The Bon Vivant club and their ladies were regaled Tuesday night at the home of Geo. S. Contee by a magnificent spread on the occasion of their sixth annual dinner. The rich table furnishings for which the hostess is famous, were shown off to their best amid the beautifully decorated rooms and enclosed nooks of the ladies. in formal with all the stateliness and elegance that means the Bon Vivants may well claim the palm this year for the event just given surpasses any they have ever had. Course after course, interspersed with the chiocest wines and enlivened with toasts from the best of after-dinner speakers Denver has, made the minutes fly on the wings of the wind and the parting word came all too soon. James Bufford was the caterer for the occasion. SELF IMPROVEMENT CLUB. The Self Improvement and Social club entertained the club women of Denver on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 1908, from 2 to 6 p. m., at the residence of Mrs. J. C. Cooper, 2227 Tremont Place. The spacious parlors and dining hall were artistically decorated in smilax, Christmas greens and holly, among which tiny red berries, ribbons and bells were daintily interwoven. The chandlers were hung with long streamers of red and green satin ribbons and the many electric bulbs were enclosed in dainty shades of the same hue. The buffet table was covered with a dainty drawn work cloth elaborately embroidered in a holly design, and a miniature Christmas tree beautifully decorated and lighted with many green --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY JANUARY 10, 1908 and red candles formed a very appropriate center piece. In the den just next the dining room the orchestra was placed and soft, sweet strains of music were wafter through the rooms during the entire afternoon. Dainty refreshments of cake, punch, cream and candy were served, the color scheme being carried out in each. The cream was frozen in the form of American beauty roses and the long stems were a dainty shade of green. The ladies receiving were Mrs. Lawrence Stephens, president of the club; Mrs. J. R. Abernathy and Mrs. J. C. Cooper. Mrs. F. Rogers Webb, president of the City Federation of Denver, was guest of honor. The ladies wore dainty reception gowns and added much beauty to the already beautiful rooms. Mrs. R. T. Anderson, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. W. J. Morris, Mrs. T. Williams, Mrs. Caley and Miss Lizzie Cowan formed the reception committee, and by their gracious, hospitable manner made each guest feel at home. The City Federation is composed of about ten city clubs and has a membership of nearly 300. Most of the clubs were represented at the reception, about 200 ladies having called during the afternoon. From 8 until 12 o'clock on New Year's night the ladies of the S. I. and S. club entertained their husbands and escorts and in their own gracious manner finished a well spent day. Mrs. Albert Froman presents a most splendidly prepared paper on the Bible and Criticisms at the Alliance next Sunday. The musical numbers include some of Denver's best talent. MISSIONS TO THE FRONT The matter of the rally for missions is to the front. We want to have a grand missionary demonstration. We believe in a general movement for a thorough arrangement, more perfect plans to do better and more effective work among our people in this section along missionary lines, on a broader, more intelligent and advanced basis In this general movement in which our church is engaged we seek the help of our white friends in this uplift. Just as a normal man's best friend is he who gives him an opportunity to enter the industrial field to carve out success for himself, and not he who tosses to him promiscuous charity. So in this work, the best friend for the uplift and advance of our people is pre-eminently he who seeing the importance of our moral and religious efforts for the uplift of our race, helps us to do more effective work on these lines. We seek to raise $10,000 to be used for the following purposes: We have 38 points in our conference in need of places for our people to meet. In 12 of these places we have begun work but we need money to put these places on a working basis. The other places are new fields we need money to go in to these places and establish our work among our people. Of course we can only hope to begin on a very modest basis, perhaps organize a Sunday school or Christian Endeavor society, and then have a preacher to look after such points periodically. Then in order to more effectually reach our people we need a training home to prepare our workers for effective service. We need men as State Historian & Natural History Society SMAN FIVE CENTS A COPY THE FRONT muc has anything else. For if we look over this broad field we see it white already to the harvest, and unquestionably this training home will become the most powerful lever in this uplift. Then we need as a medium of communication a newspaper, a church paper to assist in this great work. money we can start in motion all of these agencies on a very modest scale and hope by toil and effort to build up these several agencies and instrumentalities till we can make them effective in encompassing the great work we have before us. The African M. E. church feels that God has called her to look after the interests of her people and the Solorado Conference is not any different in Spirit from the 60 conferences of which our church is composed. We feel that this is a vast field and we are moved to rise to the dignity of the work before us. And make this great city the headquarters of all our work, especially for the Rocky mountain region. We began here 40 years ago. SPECIAL MEETINGS. At Zion Baptist Church, beginning Sunday night, Jan. 12th. Rev. J. L. Harding of Nashville, Tenn., will assist the pastor in holding revival services for the saving of souls. Special invitation is extended to the Christian workers of all churches, also to sinners and back-sliders. Come and bring your friends and help us in the great work. At 11 a. m. preaching by the pastor. Subject, "The Word Made Flesh and Dwelt Among Us." Jno. 1-14. Preaching at night by Rev. Harding. A. E. REYNOLDS, Pastor. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. MORE THAN MATCH FOR LAWYER John Philpot Curran Worsted in Encounter With Witness. John Philpot Curran, the eminent Irish barrister and orator, once met his match in a pert, jolly, keen-eyed Paddy, who acted as hostler at a large stable and who was up as witness in a case of a horse-buying dispute. Curran much desired to break down the credibility of this witness and thought to do it by making the man contradict himself by tangling him up in a network of adroitly framed questions, but all to no avail. The hostler was a companion to Sam Weller. His good common sense and his equanimity and good nature were not to be overturned. By and by Curran, in towering wrath, belched forth, as not another counsel would have dared to do in the presence of the court: "Sirrah," you are incorrigible! The truth is not to be got from you, for it is not in you. I see the villain in your face." "I faith, yer honor," said the witness, with the utmost simplicity of truth and honesty, "my face must be moighty clane and shinin' indade if it can reflect like that!"—San Francisco Chronicle. MOTHER'S WAGES WELL EARNED For Work Well Done She Surely Shall Be Made Rich. With every infant born into the family comes the injunction from God "Take this child and bring it up for Me." When the Egyptian princess asked Miriam to call a nurse for the foundling Moses, she called her mother, and the princess said, as she turned the child Moses over to her to be trained for his future mission: "I, will give thee thy wages." The mother was doubly paid. She had not only the wages that made her safe as the servant of the royal princess, but she had the infinitely better wages of seeing her own son safe and having the privilege of caring for and training him. The highest wages in the world are earned by good mothers. The mother who does an honest day's work, week in and week out, in faithful and faithfilled care of her children, is on a large salary, and she will be rich sooner or later.—Rev. Dr. Madison C. Peters. Two Gates to Heaven. God has placed upon the earth two gates that lead to heaven. He has set them at the two extremes of life one at the entrance and the other at the end. The first is innocence, the other repentance.—St. Pierre Labouchere and Gladstones Of Gladstone, Henry Labouchere once remarked: "I do not object to Mr. Gladstone's occasionally having an ace up his sleeve. But I do wish he would not always say that Providence put it there." Wanted to See the Animals. A little girl who with her mother was witnessing a performance of "The Lion and the Mouse" at the Lycceum theater, New York, recently, and who had doubtless read Aesop's fable of that name, sat through almost the entire performance in a rapt interest and then, just before the fall of the curtain, she asked: "Mamma, when does the lion come out?" A Secre. Worth Lc "You poor man," said M Henpeck who was for the first time seeing the inside of a lunatic asylum, "how long have you been here? Can you remember?" "Oh, yes; very well," replied the patient; "seven years. You see, they let me do pretty near as I please because I'm harmless." "Are you married?" "Sure. I have a wife who used to throw things at me every time I came in the house." "How sad! Do you know how she manages to live?" "She's getting along all right. Her brother, who is a rich bachelor, is takin' care of her. He never would give up a sent, though, as long as I was able to work, confound him. "And what do you do here?" "Sit around mostly, smokin' and waitin' for the next meal time." "Say," said the visitor, speaking softly, and drawing a little nearer to the patient, "just between ourselves, how did you get them to send you here?"—Chicago Record-Herald. A Disquised Hint. The crowd surrounding the balky animal opens somewhat when the man who looks as though he knew horse-flesh asks what is the matter. "This mare of mine has balked," explains the owner of the rig. "I can't get her to go in any direction." "Have you tried to back her?" asks the stranger. "Why, I never thought of that," answers the driver, getting down and taking a plug of tobacco from his pocket. He holds it to the animal's nose and at once it starts down the road. With the self-possession which marks the man of perfect poise, the horsey man turns and goes away smiling as though in pity of the ignorance of the others. 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. Standard Time. Standard time was established on principles first suggested by Charles F. Dowd of Saratoga. The United States, beginning at its extreme eastern limits and extending to the Pacific coast, was and is now divided into four time sections, eastern, central, mountain and Pacific. Chinese Court Fashions A Pekin newspaper published the following as to court fashions at the Chinese imperial palace: "Ermine robes were first worn this season in the palace on the 22d inst. Squirrel skins are the next on the list, to be followed by fox and lastly sable at the new year." Where the Milk Want. A Lowell man demanded to know whether or not he didn't pay his bills during the trial of a case in court. "Don't I pay my milk bills?" he shouted. "Yes," returned his wife, "you get a pint a day and take it all with you to drink with your lunch."—Boston Globe.

Full Dress Suits for Rent 417 Fifteenth St. Denver Colorado BEARS IN YOSEMITE NUMBERS RETURNING TO THEIR ANCESTRAL HOME. Beem to Be Aware of Their immunity From Death or Capture and Willing to Be Friendly Toward the Humans That Have Supplanted Them. 'The bear has come to his own again And, though his own coincides with a cherished possession of the United States government, says a writer in the San Francisco Chronicle, his bear ship is welcome and will not be most tested. The return of the bear to Yosemite valley not only adds interest, but it also directly justifies the name of the valley. Before the white man came, says tradition, a young brave, armed only with a club, had a conflict with a monster grizzly under the Royal Arches. The battle was long and fierce; the terrific claws and the crushing hold of the giant bear were met by the slender young hero with light-foot evasion, now to this side, now to that, with an occasional blow delivered with all the force of his strong arms. Again and again he parried instant death, and struck at the dripping jaws and the great skull, till at last he gave the death blow and the snarling brute sunk to the ground. Then he returned to the tepees of his tribe and told of the deed. His fellow tribesmen gave the here the name Yosemi-te (large grizzly bear), and in the march of time his descendants, the tribe, and their valy home took on the name. Since then times have changed in the high Sierra valley and with the Indians who once dwelt between Yosemite's stupendous walls went the big game which shared with them what nature gave to all her mountain children. But last year there was a recrudescence of bruin in the Yosemite. Late in the fall two showed themselves and one was trapped. The other retreated shyly to the shadows whence he came, but reappeared at times, uneasy, slinking, to seek food of human production. This season the bear tribe seems to have returned in earnest. All summer long two cinnamon bears have frequented the vicinity of Glacier point, making regular explorations near the little hotel in search of food. A month ago a camp, maintained by a carpenter at work on El Capitan bridge, was entered at night and despoiled of various edibles suited to brain's appetite. With the advent of autumn and especially since the heavy storm, the bears are leaving the higher mountains and incidents have multiplied. Tracks of single bears and of a bear with a cub have frequently been found on the road at the foot of El Capitan and a bevy of children out on a Saturday frolic on horseback in that locality returned abruptly with an excited bear tale. Every few days Indians tell of seeing one or more and a few days ago three children going to school at noon met a full grown bear, which turned and, sitting up in a sociable fashion looked at them in wide-eyed curiosity. Its tracks measured eight inches. The same day five different persons saw another bear ambling through the orchard near the old Hutchings cabin in plain view of the village. The new Yosemite bears seem to be aware of their immunity from firearms within the national and state parks and are not in the least belligerent. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. FOX HUNTING BY 918TEM. Maine Trapper Has Novel Method of Shooting the Animals. A Maine trapper who gets $200 or $300 every fall for fur tells the Maine Woods that he can shoot foxes without taking aim. He sights the gun by daylight and simply pulls the trigger when the foxes come at night. He secures the carcass of a horse or creature of any kind, or, if that is impossible, he buys a calf and kills it. The body is buried in a favorable location; then he builds a little house just big enough for two. The house can be carried by two men and it is located at a point that is about right for a gun shot. There is a port hole for a gun and a small peek hole, also a bracket that holds the sun glass. When the foxes come, which is usually after the snow is on the ground, they dig two or three holes down to the bait. When the hunter sees a fox he simply pulls the trigger and the pelt is his. There are frequently three or four foxes in sight at one time, but not in the range of the gun. This hunter claims that he has seen as many as seventy-five foxes visit a bait in one night. Tompson Saved His Opponent. "Sam" Tompson, the Boston lawyer, back in the seventies had a case in the civil court, and during the trial the attorney on the other side, in a heated argument, called him a liar, in words more forcible than elegant. Now "Sam" was hard of hearing, and his alert assistant promptly informed him that his opponent had just called him a blankety-blanked liar. "Sam" at once faced him, and, in his peculiar drawl, said: "I can take you out on the street and find a hundred who will say the same thing." Then he proceeded with his argument so quickly, the court, if so inclined, had no chance to administer a rebuke, or perhaps a fine for contempt, to his opponent. Domestic Cruelty. "Biffers was badly caught on a freak election bet." "What was it?" "Why, he's got to black up and walk around the city hall block with a paste pot and brush and post up fifty hand bills bearing the words, 'Ain't I a chump?'" "That isn't as bad as the case of Hopkins." "What about Hopkins?" "Hopkins made a bet with that young wife of his and lost. Now he's got to eat four of her Vassar biscuits at each meal for a week."—Cleveland Positions for Western Men. A few days ago Capt. Seth Bullock, the man of iron nerve and true aim in the Black hills, was appointed United States marshal for the South Dakota district, and now "Bat" Masterson, whose career in the wild west of earlier days closely resembles that of Bullock, is said to be slated as the personal bodyguard of the nation's chief executive. Both men were in Washington last week and called on the president. Costly Saddle Owned by Khedive. The Khedive of Egypt owns the most costly saddle in the world. It is made of black leather, though more gold than leather is visible, and it cost $70,000. It is really four saddles in one, being used on horses harnessed to the royal coach on state occasions and occupied by four postilions.

A Philadelphia was praising for his learning and uprightness the late Judge M. Russell Thayer. He quoted the moving passage from Judge Thayer's will: "Owing to the fact that almost my entire life has been passed in the public service of the United States and of the state of Pennsylvania, I have but a small estate to leave to my dear children and wife." "Those are different words," he said, "from the kind we have been hearing lately. It seems odd to us to think of a public servant regarding his post as anything but a plum tree. We have here another proof that a man really honorable can never become rich. "Judge Thayer was an honorable man. First as a lawyer, afterwards as a judge, he treated all with whom he had dealings with the greatest fairness. Once, years ago, after he had served me well in a difficult case, I remonstrated with him about the smallness of his fee. Are You Left-Eyed? Left-eyed people simply own the town these days," said an oculist. "If the prominence and importance of thatptic continues to increase we shall one day be a left-eyed race. In more than half the patients I treat the left eye is already considerable larger than the right, it is brighter and it lasts longer. If you want to find out which eye is stronger try to read first with one then with the other unassisted by its mate. Nine times out of ten that test shows how much more useful the left-eye is than the right. "I devoutly hope that I shall never lose either of my eyes, but if one has to go I just as devoutly hope that it will be the right. There was a time when the superstitious, and even specialists on eyes believed that only left-handed people were also left-eyed. That theory is now exploded. Overdevelopment of the left eye is in danger of becoming a disease, the peculiar effects of which are already apparent in many faces." She Fixed the Candy. A Brooklyn woman, just returned from a visit to a relative in Canada, was telling of her pet niece, a child of about 8 years, who came bounding into the room with a box of chocolate peppermints, the gift of another relative. "Do have some, Aunt Miss," said Edna. "No, thank you, dear," said her aunt. "I like peppermints, but not with chocolate covers." Little Edna looked disappointed, then left the room hurriedly, as though struck with an idea. A few minutes later she returned with a handful of white candies. "Now, you can have peppermints, Aunt Sis," she said, delightedly. "I ticked all the chocolate off." 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. So Many Man Eaters 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, assisting 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 Exporter 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.

Poet Regrets That Fortune's Favors Are Not More Liberally Bestowed. It was a pitiful mistake, an error sad and grim. I waited for the railway train, the light was low and dim. It came at last, and from a carriage stepped a dainty dame, and, looking up and down the place, she straight unto me came. "Oh, Jack!" she cried, "oh, dear old Jack!" and kissed me as she spake; then looked again, and, frightened, cried: "Oh, what a bad mistake!" I said, "Forgive me, maiden fair, for I am not your Jack; and as regards the kiss you gave, I'll that night I've often stood upon the straightway give it back." And since platform dim; but only once in a man's whole life do such things come to him. Opportunities. A friend of mine was prevented from going to India on account of mailing a letter without a postage stamp on it. The other day at the postoffice, while investigating this subject, I was shown letter after letter containing bills, coin and money orders, which could not be delivered either to the addressee or the sender. It is enough to take one's breath away to think for one minute about the amount of trouble caused by undelivered letters. I was shown a registered letter, ready to be sent to the dead letter office, which had been to Sweden and returned to Chicago, but the party sending it had moved without leaving his address. The letter was fat and probably full of bills.—Earl M. Pratt. 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: "'Schoolmistresses.'" The World's Alphabets. The alphabets of the various languages of the world vary from 12 to 202 letters.

Before my son was a doctor, I was ill a whole year, and now that a doctor wouldn't cost L anything, I am as healthy as a fish in the water."—Muskete. 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." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD Three Old Sawa. If the world seems cold to you, Kindle fires to warm it! Let their comfort hide from view Winters that deform it. Hearts as frozen as your own To that radiance gather; You will soon forget to moan, "Ah! the cheerless weather!" If the world's a wilderness, Go, build houses in it! Will it help your loneliness On the winds to din it? Raise a hut, however slights Weeds and brambles smother; And to roof and meal invite Some forlorn brother. If the world's a vale of tears, Smile, till rainbows span it! Breath the love that life endears, Clear of clouds to fan it! Of your gladness lend a gleam Unto souls that shiver; Show them how Sorrow's stream Blends with Hope's bright river! —Lucy Larcoms. Herbert Spencer's First Oath. That Herbert Spencer was a really keen fisherman cannot be doubted. If it were it would be set at rest by an anecdote which he tells without apparently being in the least conscious that it is amusing. During his trip to Loch Doon his line became entangled, and, at length, "losing all patience, I vented an oath." The man in the boat, who was precentor in the kirk, reproved him, "which drew my attention to the fact that, being then 36 years of age, I had never before been betrayed into intemperate speech of such a kind, thus making me more fully aware than before of the irritability produced by my nervous disorde." Dutcn for Oil 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 delicate affair to avoid charisaisism, 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' dose people dat hates tramps?" "I am," was the prompt and decisive answer.

"Not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others." SOME CASUAL PHILOSOPHY. Warwick James Prince in the Success says: What one goes into debt for, nine time out of ten, is a luxury. Gossips have no use for people who refuse to furnish material for them. Whoever wastes time brooding over time earlier wasted ages so much the faster. A man always making excuses leaves himself no time to make anything else. They say there's a snare in good looks, but it usually catches those that haven't the looks. Business based upon friendship threatens both; friendship based upon business strengthens both. It runs in a circle. If trouble drives you to drink, drink leads you to more trouble, and there you are. That man can best ignore the enmity of those who don't understand him who goes home to a wife who does. Dishonesty, in its last essence, is the forsaking of permanent advantages for those that are merely temporary. It is a good deal easier to pray for men's souls than to pour balm into their wounds—not to mention that it costs less. Tranquility is a decent enough guest to entertain, but take care that she does not bring along her twin sister—annul. The millionaire who has caught up with fortune by turning sharp corners is much poorer than the bankrupt who failed doing his honest best. The Supreme court has not yet decided which is the weaker man—he who is not able to see his own weakness or he who has no faith in him self. That much-talked-of "armor of suspicion" may protect the wearer once in a while, but usually it is of about as much help as a winter ulster in a 100-yard dash. From an intellectual point of view that time of one's life is most wasted when he tries, in a spirit of dumb loyalty, to admire all those things that are popularly considered admirable. DRIFTS OF WISDOM. The man who never worries throw a vast amount of responsibility on someone else. Women generally believe their own family is a few grades above the family of a husband. A man's ideas of personal liberty is to keep his business to himself and find out all he can about the concerns of others. Women tell their troubles in confidence to their friends and then wonder why so many persons know of their affair. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Capital Required to Comply with Any Demand. "How much money does it take to make change for a quarter?" queried the man whose fad is freak mathematics. "Twenty-five cents, oh? You're away out. To change a quarter in the various ways it can be done requires a capital of 70 cents. If a fellow wanted plenty of coin for his quarter he'd tax you for twenty-five pennies. On the other hand, the man who wanted the least loose change for his quarter would come at you for two dimes and a nickel. The chap who wanted a diversity of coin in his change would get into you for two 5 cent pieces, one dime, and five pennies, which would allow him to jingle copper, silver, and nickel in his jeans. "Others might ask you to produce four nickels and five pennies, three nickels and ten pennies, two nickels and fifteen pennies, or one nickel and twenty pennies. If you escaped these demands you might be requested to come up with five nickels, three nickels and one dime; one nickel one dime, and ten pennies; one dime and fifteen pennies, or two dimes and five pennies. There are just twelve ways of "breaking' a quarter of current United States coin, and to be there with the goods for any demand you require twenty-five pennies, two dimes, and five nickels, in all, 70 cents." Jewels of English Women. Many English society women are the owners of jewels worth the proverbial king's ransom. Perhaps the largest collections belong to the duchess of Portland and the duchess of Marlborough, but Viscountess Iveagh is the possessor of one of the most valuable necklaces in England. Her pearls are worth over $350,000, and took Lord Iveagh a long time to collect. Lady Rothschild, the countess of Dudley, the countess of Annesley and Lady Denman all own most beautiful pearls. The duchess of Roxburghe and the Marchioness of Dufern both have a large number of tuqoises The alake of Abeakuta, a museu African king, who created a sensation a month or so ago in Engl heard so many wonderful things al America while in King Edwa realm that he has determined, si returning to his native home, to a visit to America.

Mrs. Ada White entertained the None Such club at an eight-course dinner New Year's day. Covers were laid for ten. The house was beautifully decorated with American beauties and the club colors, dandelion yellow and navy blue. Viands of the season were served in epicurean style. Mrs. Hazel Miller and Miss Virgie Webster served the dinner in a manner that would have done credit to a caterer. Mrs. H. W. Wade, who has been very sick, is reported better at this writing. Complimentary to Miss Eva Hopkins of Cheyenne, Wyo., was a beautifully arranged dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Hicks Friday evening at 7 o'clock. The table, which was laid for six, was elaborately decorated in white and red. Those invited to meet Miss Hopkins were Misses Gertrude Nichols, Grace Montgomery, Messrs. Dave Douglas, John Morris, Clarence Langston. After dinner Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Rhoads and Mr. and Mrs. O. Dishman and Mr. Curtis Harris were in to spend the evening and "Hearts" was played until a late hour when light refreshments were served and the jolly crowd voted the host and hostess royal entertainers. Never was such a lively, jolly time had in that section of the city as was had Thursday night when Miss Bessie Pullam of 1443 Elati street, acted as hostess to a "New Mexico" card party. Flinch games were so scientifically played that many will begin to study up on the game. But the game of "muggins" and "pit" created so much mirth and excitement that several "panics" seemed to prevail at once. Light refreshments were served and a royal jolly good time will cause many to reluctantly give up the vivid and pleasant impression of that evening's entertainment. Miss Pullam was highly congratulated for her taste and hospitality. --- Mrs. J. W. McAdow has returned from a visit in Canada. FOR RENT—Furnished room at 2117 Welton street. L. Anderson.

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. The latest phase of inane agitation that is possessing the Boston Guardian is the denunciation of Booker T. Washington for owning stock in the New York Age. The Guardian asserts that this is the advanced step which he has taken in controlling race newspapers, having been content in the past with simply subsidizing them. If the people of this country agreed with the hysterical Bostonian that the great educator was wholly bad, it might stick that such a step was necessary to keep an outraged press and people from rising in revolt at his methods and principles. So few race papers, however, agree with the Guardian and so few people, that we may well lay this class of stuff to a bad digestion. The commercial, political and religious interests of this country control the white press and no one is pulling down the stars about it. Brains always will lead and the bray of the Boston editor will not keep real constructive work from going on. The race is too busy to turn into a poll parrott society. MARRIED. Chas. Hall and Miss Arlena Burns, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Burns, were united in marriage Sunday at 12 o'clock by Rev. Ward. The ceremony was witnessed by the families of the contracting parties and a few intimate friends. The bride is one of the city's belles and the groom is a mail carrier of several years' service. They are both popular with the younger set. They will make their home at 2953 California. NOTICE.

Graduate of Roger Williams University. Before a goodly sized audience Sunday morning Rev. Beckham preached a masterly sermon. But to a crowded house, even to standing the Far Western Reverend again impressed his congregation the necessity and sacredness of the covenant meeting. A spiritual uplift was experienced by all present. The members shouted and praised God in the highest while the men walked about in Zion. The choir's voices seemed to be more spiritual, more in earnest and clearer than ever before while they sang God's praises. The Reverend seemed to be a plain, frank, matter-of-fact pastor, greatly concerned about mankind's spiritual welfare. He holds his audience by the power of his forceful reasoning. The Statesman welcomes our new Baptist minister in our community and sincerely hopes that by and through his efforts for good the community will be better off by his having lived as a part and parcel of us. The B. Y. P. U. of Central Baptist church had the election of officers Sunday night. Mr. Rhodes was elected president. ALLIANCE ELECTION OF OFFICERS. There was a time in the life, history and development of the Alliance when the election of officers meant for every interested person to stay at home, but judging from the lively interest shown by all present greater enthusiasm and more interest is shown to be spread among the people of the community. The officers are A. G. Falling, president; J. M. Mason, vice president; Rev. Ward and Reynolds, second and third vice presidents; Attorney F. H. Bryant, secretary; Miss Mildred Hatchett, assistant secretary; Luther Walton, treasurer; board of directors, A. J. Fitzpatrick, C. W. Buford, Roy Handy, R. J. Von Dickershon, B. P. Johnson and Dr. W. A. Jones. A committee of ladies, consisting of Mesdames Lizzie Froman, chairman; C. W. Buford and Florence Cooper to assist the board of directors in arranging the program. Any person knowing of any one who would favor the Alliance with a musical or literary number is requested to suggest their names to the committee. Major Vince of Victor, who remembered the editor with a Christmas token, spent last week in this city on his vacation. Program of a Grand Missionary Demonstration to be Given in Shorter's A. M. E.

I am delighted to have an opportunity to speak a good word in her favor. Mrs. Perkins was a stranger to me and at first sight I fell in love with her and her hair. So I decided to have her treat my hair, which was in an awful condition and had been for five years. After using Mrs. Perkins' treatment for about two weeks I can see a change in my hair already and I will gladly recommend it to everyone. I am glad indeed I have met her and am sorry to have her leave Philadelphia, for she has done me lots of good. Yours respectfully. MRS. ANNIE B. WICKS, 511 So. 13th St., Philadelphia, Pa. Waller's House. Since music, a curious thing, can stir men to gallant deeds in battle, can "soothe the savage breast," can be a love interpreter, we now find the best musical club this side of the Missouri river rendering their farewell music as Mrs. C. D. Douglass takes her reluctant departure. Every member of the club, Wednesday night, was out to say good-bye and express their deepest regret for her long absence, but all wished her a safe journey, a long and prosperous year together with a peaceful and extended happy life. Scenes that were witnessed at the residence of Mrs. A. A. Waller's, the parting, the exciting and amusing games, the soft and pathetic music which served to enable the guest of honor to take her ghostlike departure and the many beautiful sentiments uttered upon that joyful event will be an ever pleasant oasis in her desert of friendships in the far West. Many little but appreciable tokens of remembrances were given her as an expression of the individual member's love for her and the extreme regret of her leaving. Light refreshments, "flinch," "muggins," "panic," "pit," "plate" and "Button, Button, Whose Got the Button," were played and a royal jolly good time was had by all present. Mrs. Douglass left Thursday about 3 p. m. for Cincinnati. SPECIAL NOTICE. Church of the Redeemer. (An. erican Catholic.) By request of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Olmsted, Mr. J. W. Hudston will resume his duties as Reader on Sunday next, the 12th inst., at the 11 o'clock service, and the work will be continued as a Mission of the cathedral under the care of the Very Rev. Dean Hart, priest in charge. The Rt. Rev. the Bishop of the diocese wishes it to be announced that he will make a pastoral visit to the Church of the Redeemer on the morning of Sunday, the 26th inst., when he will preach the sermon and celebrate the Holy Eucharist. Communicants will please note this date. "Forward! be our watchword." Miss Mae Smith of Cheyenne, who spent the holidays here as the guest of Miss Marguerite Jackson, returned home Monday morning after a delightful visit. Friday her hostess entertained in her honor at a dainty luncheon. PAGE 4 RATHER LONG PERIOD TO WAIT. Joshua Wanted Boiled Wheat, but He Was No Cook. "Lucinda," said Mr. Melstrum, who had just returned from a visit to a farmer friend in the country, "while I was at Longley's I ate some whole wheat, boiled. I like it better than anything I ever tasted. He gave me a small paper sack of the wheat, so we could cook some ourselves. How long will it be before supper is ready?" "About half an hour," answered Mra Melstrum. "Well, we'll have some boiled wheat, if you please. Here's the paper sack." "But, Joshua, it will have to be cooked in a double boiler, a —" "I don't care how you co I'm hungry for some more boile wheat." "But see here, Joshua! It will take——" "It will take lot of cream and sugar; I know that. But we've got plenty of both. Put it on right away, will you?" Without another word his wife took the wheat, washed it, emptied it into the "double boiler," and set it on the fire. At the end of half an hour Mr. Melstrum became patient. "Lucinda," he called out from the sitting room, "isn't that wheat ready yet?" "Not yet," responded Mrs. Melstrum. "How much longer is it going to take to cook it?" "About eleven hours and a halt. That's what I was trying to tell you, but you wouldn't give me a chance. Do you want to wait for it?"—Youth's Companion. Only the heartless are hopeless. Fruit is the best testimony as to root. When love labors it needs no overseer. Gratitude for yesterday gives grace for to-day. There is no joy gained except where joy is given. Creed without Christ is a compass without a needle. It takes more than a bulldog to make an orchard. There is no reverence without reality in religion. A just man never fears as to the justice of his Father. The life counts for little that always counts the cost. The opportunity is always ripe for the man who is ready. Saving souls by sentiment is like feeding men on a flavor. A man's success depends on what he does with his failures. The man with the biggest check may have the least baggage. The ascent of man is the result of the descent of the Son of Man. The offense of the faithful is not necessarily the defense of the faith. It is easy to backslide if you only hold your neighbor by two fingers. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. There is no advertisement sin likes better than a half-hearted denunciation. It is a good thing to lose your fence if it means the enlarging of your field. When a man feels sorry for himself no one else is going to waste time doing it for him.—Chicago Tribune. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. It's a poor rule that won't spank both ways. You never miss the sunshine till the clouds come by. Rain is a good thing to help you find the leak in the roof. The hand that fits the dresses is the hand that shapes the world. Farming isn't what the directions tell you to do in the agricultural columns. Every woman believes in corporal punishment for children when she hasn't any. "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 midlight, 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." Seek to Deceive Gods. In cases of drought it is customary in China to organize processions to the temples, everybody going bareheaded. 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. 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." M. H.

The proof of living imitated and largely by perse grown and the further fact that th when trying to sell their goods. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE. MRS. A. M.

Land Office in this city, has been mentioned for mayor of Denver. The complexity of the local political situ- ation makes the advent of such aman as Mr. Ford very welcome. It may be that his name is used without his permission and even contrary to his desires, but his worth will make well- wishers of the Republican party look upon him as a Moses, It is a pleas- ure to support a man who commands our endorsement, no less for his per: sonality than for his party affiliation. True as steel to his convictions, effi- cient and broad-minded, Mr. Ford would make an ideal standard-bearer for the party this spring. We hope that he will be a candidate before the convention. The past year was remarkable for the comparative absence of crime among the colored people of this city. The criminal division of the District court has not showed the large repre- sentation of criminals from our num- ber that is usual. It is to be hoped that this is not merely a reaction from the preceding year, which was especially full, but is the working of sound reform. The negro who either while drunk or in his sober senses, transgresses the law, is an enemy of his race. We are too busy trying to keep up with the march of civiliza- tion, we have too little energy, to waste time and opportunity by wrong- doing. The gun-fighter, the thief, the vagrant, are real problems within our race and should be weeded out. PUEBLO, COLO. The City Federation met at Mrs. J. P. Watson's Monday, Jan. 6th.
