Reese clearly vindicated the reputation of the "Queen City of the West" for light air, mountain scenery and Western hospitality, when she gave one of the swellest dinners yet given at the Rhine cafe to her friend and guest, Mrs. Kittie Johnson, who departed for Omaha to live last Friday night. Such perfect service, such well seasoned, wholesome, yet daintily adorned repast could have hardly been excelled at the governor's mansion. Many lady speeches and old-time reflections were told, which caused a constant murmur of merriment among the guests. The following enjoyed the treat: Mesdames South of Omaha, A. J. Carson, Nannie Dean, Nannie Wells and Lillie Lewis, all of Denver. Mrs. Reese highly praised the management for their excellent and up-to-date service together with such courteous treatment. RALPH BRANFORD LAID TO REST With the august representatives from our highest court of this state, with all of his brother Odd Fellows present in a body together with the Masonic fraternity and with Shorter A. M. E. church being crowded to the doors with the deceased's many friends and acquaintances, and the gal- day afternoon was made the saddest event of the incoming year. It was said at the late Lodge of Sorrow, held by the Masons, that every member present peculiarly and personally realized the seriousness of the occasion, particularly the old members, among whom were Father Rice and Mr. Branford. The scene Sunday afternoon reminded one of the Annual Lodge of Sorrow. Rev. Ward supported by Reverends Reynolds, Payne and Sanders, made a lasting impression upon the vast concourse of people as the funeral dirge was so touchingly played by Miss Gertrude Nichols. The well-trained choir, some of whom were in Mr. Branford's class, by their suppressed emotion as they looked down upon the casket and beheld the abundance of beautiful flowers silently and reverently singing praises to the departed's faithfulness and Christian character, also joined in the deepest sympathy for the mourning relatives. Rev Ward then memoralized in a powerful sermon on the sacred and honorable memory of the deceased and so grandly set forth the triumphs of "Death, as mine and as yours." Tears were freely in evidence as the persuasive pastor feelingly and beautifully lit up eternal life of joy, peace and happiness—just a step from hence. Mr. Branford assured death FIVE CENTS A COPY ANFORD TO REST had no terror to him; that all was well and that he was merely proving himself a true and loyal soldier of the cross. He for twenty years had led an exemplary Christian life and will be greatly missed in the community for his valuable services. His remains rest at Riverside. INTER-GRADUATE ASSOCIATION PREPARES TO CELEBRATE. President Walker Jubilant Over Project. There is in every community some organization or set of people who believe in planning now for a future event or for any emergency that is liable to arise at any time. In this community the I. G. A. have been active recently along that line interceding and negotiating for some great speakers, singers and the Negroe's best brain and talent to appear before our Denver audience and here impart and infuse their knowledge into our body politic. While only a few minor arrangements need be made yet before the plan is so complete that the public will be assured of the first production of that nature. President Walker is not considering the project for purely an economic point of view but as he has always contended and does now contend that if the association stands for anything in this community it certainly stands for that kind of development. As everything and everybody to accomplish anything must be pushed, even the electric button, so President Walker asks that everybody co-operate to make this project an unparalleled success. Watch the papers next week. . Lately Explored, They Are Now a Popular Pleasure Resort. One of the strangest holiday resorts, and one of the most interesting, is that recently made accessible to the public at Padrac, in the department of Lot, France. There a wonderful series of caverns, containing magnificent stalactites and a subterranean lake and river, has yielded its secrets to the adventurous explorer, and the dangers of the visit have now been ingeniously reduced, so that the average sightseer may traverse these "antres vast" with ease and safety. For ages the caves remained absolutely unexplored, but by the enterprise of M. Martell a barrister, they have been thoroughly examined and described, and by means of iron stairways and galleries have been rendered accessible. One vast craterlike opening is 300 feet in circumference, and when M. Martel made his first visit to the depths he had to descend on a board attached to two ropes after the manner of a swing. He went down 300 feet, and, with several companions, began an extraordinary series of discoveries. The chief of these is an underground river, which he navigated in a collapsible boat. Hard on the Widows. In 1901 the population of England and Wales a square mile was 558. In 1900 the population of the United States was 21.4 a square mile; so England is comparatively crowded. Yet in Lincolnshire a widow has to travel thirty-nine miles on her husband's death. Thus: For a doctor's certificate, 7 miles; to register the death, 5 miles; return home, 9 miles; to the grave and back, miles; total, 39 miles. Nothing to Fear. Judge Rockwood Hoar, brother of the late Senator Hoar, was noted as a wit as well as jurist. Shortly before his death, as his daughter entered his room in the morning, he said: "My dear, I had a dream last night, and in it I saw the angel of death sitting at the foot of my bed. At first I was horribly frightened, but as I gazed at my visitor my fears vanished. He wore a fur cap."—Brooklyn Life. Monotonous London Street Names The "Saints have no fewer than 397 streets named in their honor in London. There are 105 Church streets, 50 Chapel streets, 66 King streets, 100 Queen streets and nearly as many High streets. If a letter were addressed to one of these without further definition it would take some months before it could reach the address. 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 Roxburgh and the Marchioness of Duffield both have a large number of THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. 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 tomorrow. H 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. Henequin, or sisal hemp, as it is sometimes known, has made Meridaa and its people rich. Living Was Cheap in 1833 A catalogue issued in 1833 in New Salem academy states that at the boarding house or in families was $1.75 per week. fients could procure rooms and themselves for about $1 per week. Water Turbines for Falls. About 70,000 horsepower of turbines will soon be purchased in the Toronto and Niagara Falls P company on the Canadian side of sataract Aldu to Photography. One can scarcely keep track of the inventions and devices for the advancement of photography, so rapidly are they brought to our notice. The latest is a liquid lens that by its use instantaneous photographs may be made by gaslight, and a one-minute exposure will be sufficient for a moonlight scene. A certain oil is introduced between the parts of a rectilinear lens, and thus the refraction is greatly increased. Horse Soon to Go. New York has 1,323 fewer stables and 8,660 fewer horses than in December, 1896. The decrease is attributed to the disappearance of horse cars on surface lines. Expert observers think that the automobile, at the present rate of improvement, will banish the horse from business traffic within four or five years. A Necessary Precaution. The continued unhealthy conditions along the Ambejemackomas, Eskweskewajo and Meskaskeeseehunk rivers in Maine have induced the state board of health to decree that no further use of the water from these streams for domestic purposes shall be made until their names have been boiled down. Much Material for Building. Among the material used in the construction of the new Christ's hospital at Horsham, England, were 40 miles of hot water pipes, 98 miles of el ctric wire, 20,000,000 bricks, 1,500,000 tiles, 5 acres of wood flooring, 100,000 cubic feet of stone and 56,000 tons of cement, sand and breeze. The Russian Editor A perusal of the czar instructions to Russian editors respecting the publication of incendial matter indicates that the Muscovite journalist is mighty lucky if he can get to press with the real estate transfers and the railroad time tables as his "scare head" features.

Savage the other day and accumulated the following quilts characteristic story of George Ade. As of course you know, Mr. Savage produced "The Sultan of Sulu." "Peggy from Paris" and other comic operas of which Mr. Ade's prolific pen was the proud progenitor, and he was urging the Hoosier librettist to write another musical comedy for the Savage office. "Can't do it, governor," cried Mr. Ade, shaking his head, gloomily; "can't do it; I can't write lyrics to save my immortal soul." "You can't write lyrics?" echoed the tall manager. "Well I'd like to know what's the matter with 'R-em-o-r-s-e.'" "Great Sulu's Sultan!" wailed Ade, grimly; "R-em-o-r-s-e wasn't a lyric; it was autobiography." Repose. The most beautiful thing about the New York clubman is his repose. If you want to be a successful clubman cultivate repose. Eat, drink, think and dream repose. Never hurry. Never get excited. Talk deliberately and mysteriously. Let your eyes droop. Never appear interested in anything. Make believe you have seen whatever of life that's fit or unfit to print and are looking only for rest. Let nothing surprise you. Appear bored. Avoid introductions. Be "at home" to nobody. Keep your hat on. Never shake hands.—New York Press. Weaving Done by Nature As a weaver nature produces fine work. Certain tree barks and leaves furnish excellent cloth, as, for instance, the famous tapa cloth used in the South Sea islands. Nature is a glassmaker, too, according to the Indian Review. By discharging her lightning into beds of quartz sand she forms exquisite little pipes of glass. She makes valuable ropes of various kinds in the shape of tropical vines and creepers. Busy Meanwhile. "Lost your temper, eh?" said the father, sternly. "Didn't I tell you if any of the other boys ever said anything to make you angry, you should count 50 before you replied?" "Yes, str," replied the husky boy. But I didn't get time to count 50. Before I counted 20 the other feller yelled 'Enough.'"—Philadelphia Press Practical. "What did she say when she heard he was dead in love with her?" "She wanted to know if he carried my life insurance." Last of Famous Family. Ex-Senator W. D. Washburn of Minnesota is a picture of robust and placid old age. Het is the only survivor of seven brothers, four of whom attained national fame. Three of the Washburns, Israel, Ellhu B. and Cadwallader C., were members of the national House of Representatives at the same time, the only instance in the political history of this government when three men thus related had seats in Congress simultaneously. Peerly Paid Clergy. The best-paid clergy in Siberia got about $600 a year, while the poorest jobs have often to beg for their bread. All priests must fast 226 days in the year, and monastic priests are enjoined never to eat meat During the early years of his ministry at Calais, Me, the late Rev. Geo. W. Durrell was one day called upon to perform the marriage service for a couple who came into town from some outlying section, and after the ceremony the woman said: "Say, parson, Jim ain't got no money, but I will be around to-morrow to pay for this job." Some two weeks afterward she met Mr. Durrell on the street, and recalled herself to his memory, saying: "You know, parson, I was goin' to pay for that job you done for Jim and me, but I didn't, for Jim run away the next day, and I didn't think it was worth while." Furniture Used by Napoleon. When he returned to Washington recently Ambassador Von Sternberg brought a complete suite of drawing-room furniture that had adorned the rooms occupied by Napoleon in Leipsic. These treasures were bequeathed to the ambassador by a relative whose grandfather had owned the place where the Corsican elected to abide. The furniture is ancient Flemish and in the tapestry are woven mythological designs. The frames bear a gold design. A desk at which Napoleon wrote vigorous messages is part of the legacy. Feed Babes to Snakes The United States grand jury at Albuquerque, N. M., is investigating reports that the Indians of the Pueblo of Zae, the most isolated of the Pueblo tribes of New Mexico, feed a certain number of new born babies each year to a mammoth snake which is worshiped by the tribe. The Interior Department will probably be asked to interfere. No "Arctic Moon." The arctic moon is just the same as the moon everywhere. The cause of the prolonged polar days and nights does not affect the moon in the slightest degree. Look for Action from Senator. According to general belief Mr. Knox of Pennsylvania does not mean to be a silent member of the United States senate at the coming session. As a rule newcomers are rather expected to keep in the background for a time, but Senator Knox is tacitly booked to take a leading part in discussion of the railroad rate measure. For many years Pennsylvania senators have almost confined themselves to committee activity. The Camerons, father and son, were silent men, and so to a great extent was Mr. Quay. Mr. Penrose, too, rarely opens his lips, so the spectacle of a Pennsylvania senator active in debate will be somewhat of a novelty. Valuable Glass. When is glass worth more than gold? When it is the lens of a microscope. The record increase in value of the manufactured article over the raw material is probably made by this variety of glass, which multiplies itself 50,000,000 times. The front lens of a micro-objective costing about $5 weighs no more than about .0017 of a gramme, hence the value of such lenses to the weight of a kilogramme would be about $3,000,000. The cost of making this weight of glass is three to six cents, and thus when worked up into the shape of a lens the glass has increased in value about 50,000,000 times.

Boise, the Beautiful, is at present enjoying weather that can't be had everywhere, that is sunshine. The many friends of Mr. C. C. Sewell, who left a few weeks ago for his home in Washington, D. C., will be glad to hear of his safe arrival. The new arrivals in Boise are Mr. P. L. Caldwell of Salt Lake City, Mr. Herman Witeman of Spokane and Mrs Copelan of Anaconda, Mont., who is the guest of her sister, Mrs. L. Moore. Mr. T. H. Frame, the popular head waiter o fthe West, and who has been in that capacity for the past year and a half, has tendered his resignation to take effect Feb. 1st. His many friends will regret to hear of his leaving. Mr. W. Bert Turner, his second waiter, is to be his successor. The colonial tea given last Tuesday evening by Mrs. Francis Mayfield and Miss Hattie Gudger, assisted by Messrs. Wagner and Mayfield, was a grand success. Mr. Mayfield represented Geo. Washington and Mr. Wagner his son. Mrs. Francis Mayfield and Miss Hattie Gudger were in representation of colonial days. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Brown left last week for their old home in Salt Lake City. Mr. and Mrs. Brown were members of the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Lyceum, and his able work will be greatly missed by the Lyceum. The Lyceum gave a social in his honor, which was well attended. The greatest regret we have suffered in a long time came Saturday when Boise lost two of its most popular and two who have exercised both brain and muscle to the upbuilding of the race, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel. It is with the profoundest regrets that we chronicle this. May God's best wishes be with them in their old home Pocatello, Idaho. Mr. Samuel was president of the Ladies' Aid, the Stewards' board of the A. M. E. church and a member of the sick committee of the Lyceum, which her presence and position will be greatly felt. On Thursday night previous to their departure the Lyceum presented them with a beautiful set of silverware. The presentation was made by Mr. Courtney and the following address he made: Boise, Idaho, Jan. 9, 1908. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel: Your connection with Paul Lawrence Dunbar Lyceum dates with its beginning as one of the charter members. In promoting the welfare of your fellow associates during those months of patience and worry, when all seemed dark and dreary, you, each of you, submitted to the inevitable will invoked by Divine Providence. You have been firm and true and at your post of duty have won for yourselves praise and commendation by those whom you have been closely connected. Ever willing and ever ready, no THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. matter if in the wee sma' hours of the night or in the heat of the day, the one thought "duty," impelled you to rise and acquiesce to its calling. Those untiring difficulties which you so bravely met face to face, and overcome, are but stepping stones to a higher calling. As you are about to take your leave from our midst it is but fitting at this time as your co-workers in the Master's vineyard in the great work of reformation among our fellows, to say a word of good cheer to you; words, however, are inadequate to convey to you the deep sense of feeling of regret and sadness that fill our hearts as we think of the approach of the hour of parting, the church, although in its infancy mourns your departure. Your untiring zeal and energy, coupled with unceasing fondness to do those things which seemed pleasing and uplifting to fallen humanity, has endeared our hearts to you in one bond of Christian love. The different auxiliaries of the church of which you have been connected with each in turn, feel keenly the displeasure that is wrought upon them at this hour of parting. We, of Paul Lawrence Dunbar Lyceum, vie with each of them our cadness and regrets and as you leave us we wish you to carry with you our best wishes and this token of fond rememberance. May it be a constant reminder of the inestimable high regard in which you are held—in looking back through the mirror of the past, may you look with pleasure on this incident as being one of the happiest recollections of your career and though we may say "Friends, we've been friends together Through cloudy and through pleasant weather. Tis hard to part when friends are dear. Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh or tear; Then steal away, say not good night, But in some brighter clime, bid me good morning." W. BERT TURNER, President. MISS EVA ARNOLD, The Ladies' Aid met at the residence of Mrs. Wagner and Turner and were entertained in honor of their president, Mrs. Samuels, who was about to leave the city. Mrs. E. D. Washington was elected as president. Those who were present were Mrs. E. D. Washington, Mrs. W. Terrell, Mrs. P. A. Samuels, Mrs. Horace Mayfield, Mrs. L. Canada, Mrs. L. Wallace, Mrs. W. Bert Turner and Mrs. M. Wagner. The kerchief shower given by the present president of the Ladies' Aid, Mrs. E. D. Washington, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Samuels, was one of the swellest affairs of the season. Those attending were Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Samuels, Mr. and Mrs. W. Bert Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Houston, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Frame, Mrs. Wm.

The Baptist Home Missionary society gave a fine literary program last Sunday. Much information was gained from the participant as to the good work the society is doing in our community. The seating capacity of the house was filled. Remarks by Rev. Henderson were much appreciated. Mrs. H. E. Ellsworth entertained quite a number of her friends with a hen party at her residence last Wednesday evening. Those present were Mistress E. T. Ellsworth, G. H. Byas, A. B. Montgomery, R. Harrison, B. Thompson, D. Austin, M. Jones, E Reynolds, Conway, Anna Durham. A delicious lunch was served. All report a nice time. The two churches will hold union memorial services at the A. M. E. church for the benefit of the Albuquerque Burial Association. Rev. Byas, master of ceremonies, Rev. Crawford will preach the sermon. Services will be held the ninth of February. Mrs. J. R. Robinson died last Tuesday evening after suffering several months with a complication of diseases. The funeral services were held the following day at the Mt. Olive Baptist church, Rev. C. P. Crawford officiating, assisted by Rev. Byas. The church was crowded with friends who came to pay their last respects to the deceased. The floral offerings were beautiful. Interment at Fairview cemetery. A society of the best young ladies of our city, known as the T. C. G. C. club, entertained quite royally last week a number of their gentlemen friends at the residence of Miss Frances Ellsworth. A unique feature of the club is, they are all single ladies and their guests were all unmarried men. We predict a forecast that before the leap year passes that none of those who were present will not be single at the beginning of another new year. Lighe refreshments were served. A pleasant evening was spent. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Mrs. Hester Bryan is suffering with rheumatism. Owing to sickness the Gunnison Literary was postponed Friday evening.

MORE THAN MATCH FOR LAWYEP 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: "Siirrah," 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. res Need a Rest. "Messages," said a telegraph operator, "always slide over the wires better on Monday than on any other day. The wires, you see, have profited by their Sunday rest. "It is a fact that inanimate as well as animate things get tired and need a vacation occasionally. You know how true this is of razors, of automobiles, of locomotives—and it is just as true of telegraph wires. "A wire after its Sunday rest gives a quicker, a fuller and a more delicate transmission. It is like a piano that has just been tuned." Proper Coat of Arms. John Thomas Brady got in to-night from St. Louis. John Thomas stopped a little while in Pittsburg on his way here. "I heard some of them guys out there talking about getting a coat-of-arms," he said. "Now, take it from me that the only right thing for most of this bunch in the way of a coat-of-arms would be a set of burglar's tools properly displayed." — Washington Correspondence.

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. MRS. ANNIE B. WICKS, 511 So. 13th St., Philadelphia, Pa. 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. Are You Lett-Eyed? Left-eyed people simply own the town these days," said an oculist. "If the prominence and importance of that optic 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 no 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 licked all the chocolate off." WE ARE TRYING TO SERVE YOU TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY ALONG OUR LINE. WILL YOU LET US DO IT?

"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 Mrs. 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 boiled wheat." "It will take a 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 self 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 half. 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. Evils Arising From Deafness An ear specialist insists that dea ness affects all the senses. He says the reason for this is that the ear is only one servant of the sensory service of the human system. Loss of hearing is really a partial paralysis of the brain, but owing to the sympathetic connection of the various sensory nerve centers of the brain the others indirectly concerned have to combat for their very life the demoralizing influence of the affected center. Judicious Spending. It is argued by some that, for the common weal, the universal spending of money should be encouraged. Saving money, however, does not imply burying it from circulation but sending it along into circulation in one's own name. What the young men of the country need is not encouragement to spend their money but to spend it judiciously and wisely. A Cat with Wings. The boatswain of the "Caspian," an English schooner, brought with him from India a strange animal-bird, which he always referred to as his "Tabby." It certainly looked more like a cat than anything else; but it was probably some freak of the animal world. It had two pairs of wings, but could fly only with difficulty, like a tame duck. Spider's Wonderful Strength. Recently in the village of Havana, in New York state, an insignificant looking little garden spider pounced upon a milksnake, bit it, entangled it in her threads and actually hoisted it off the ground. The fact that the snake weighed 96 times as much as its captor makes this achievement a most remarkable one. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD THE BOYHOOD OF SHERIDAN Remarkable Precocity Displayed at an Early Age. I remember, writes a correspondent, hearing Lord Dufferin tell the following story of the late Sheridan La Fanu: Sheridan's father—the Archbishop of Meath, I think—was a great stickler for punctuality, a regard his son did not share. One morning young Sheridan, then about eight years old, descended unusually late for breakfast and was met at the door by his father watch in hand. "Is this right, sir; is this right?" demanded the prelate in stern tones. "I don't know, sir," replied Sheridan, looking at the watch and pretending to think the question applied to it and not to his conduct, "but I rather think it's fast." For this impertinence young Sheridan was condemned to write an essay on "The Three Ages of Man." Here is what he wrote: There are three ages of man— 1. When he is engaged in planning every conceivable mode of wickedness. This is known as the age of innocence. 2. When he is putting his nefarious plans into operation. This is called the prime of manhood. 3. When he becomes anxious about his soul and turns to religion. This is dotage. And this from a child of eight! 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 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'" 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.

A certain young teacher in one of the schools in Springfield, Mass., was recently more or less annoyed by the attentions of one of the masculine sex who holds a position of principal in the same school. There was in this young woman's room a pupil who was very dull and stupid. One day the gallant principal was asked by the admired one to give his permission to have the child removed to some other room, thinking possibly he might be benefited by the change. The suggestion did not meet with the principal's immediate favor, and he remonstrated. "Suppose," said he, "you and I were married and we had a child that nature was not overkind to, and we sent him to school. Suppose the teacher refused to have him in her room, saying he was too stupid and dull to learn, what would you say?" "I should say he took after his father," was the quick retort. Overtaken by Retribution. William H. Berry, state treasurer of Pennsylvania, was talking in Harrisburg about graft. "Grafters seem to thrive at first," he said, "but retribution overtakes them in the end. It is like the two newsboys and the bad half-dollar. Two newsboys had a bad half-dollar and after discussing for some time the best way to get rid of it they decided to try to pass it off on a theater "So they took their places on a cold night in the long line before the gallery door of a popular theater and the first one held the bad coin in his hand. It was their idea that in the hurry and confusion the ticket seller wouldn't take time to examine the money handed to him. "And they were right. When the first boy reached the box office the man accepted the half-dollar without question and in return handed out a ticket and a quarter change. "The second boy, grinning with joy, then handed forth a dollar for The alake of Abeakuta, a museum African king, who created a sensation a month or so ago in England heard so many wonderful things about America while in King Edward's realm that he has determined, after returning to his native home, to pay a visit to America. His majesty is very black and very ugly, but the barbaric magnificence of his garments made a great sensation in London. He will arrive some time before the end of November. Field Gune Soon Obaolete. Though adopted no more than six or seven years ago, the whole of the German quick-firing field artillery has been condemned as "obsolete" and is to be replaced by shield-protected guns recoiling on their own limber. This is the Japanese type of field gun. Canada's Moving Fair. Canada has a cart stocked and a tractively decked with.

More Than Princely Pr This story of Prince Louis Battenberg is going the rounds: A bright woman who met him at a garden party in the course of his Canadian visit was commenting on the change in the weather which had that morning seemed dull and threatening. "Yes, it has brightened up," said the prince in his genial way. "You see, when I came to town to-day I brought good weather with me." "Well," said the woman, with a naughty twinkle in her eye, "I have heard of a Hohenzollers speaking of 'I and God,' but it remains for a Battenberg to leave out God!" --- Carriage Furnished for all Occasions.

Many original games were played before they sat down to partake of the toothsome refreshments. Gerald Casey, whose birthday came on Jan.12, celebrated his natal day by having a sumptuous Sunday dinner. Those present on both occasions were Mesdames Ida Banks, Ada Crummer, Ida McGuire, Dr. J. A. Harper, Lawyer Ross and the homefolks. The peculiar features of the events were the lovely presents from their many friends. Gerald Casey introduced his newly learned song, "I am as sorry about that thing, as I can be." A lovely time was had and all reluctantly departed well filled with both joy and refreshments. THE ONLY COMPANY THAT HAS COMPLIED. 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. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE. Denver, Colo., Jan. 12, 1908. Whereas, God in his unerring judgment has deemed it best to remove from our midst our dear brother and leader, Ralph Branford; and Whereas, We realize we have lost in him a leader in word and in life, one we all loved to follow because of his sincerity and goodness; and Whereas, We know he can not come to us but if we are faithful we can go to him; and Whereas, We are bowed down with sorrow but realize that our loss is heaven's gain. Be it Resolved, That we, the members of Class number seven of Shorter A. M. E. church, do hereby extend to the members of the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of great sorrow and point them to him that was a "man of sorrow and acquainted with grief."

Less picturesque than the description in Pierre Loti's "Disenchanted" was my reception in the harem of Bosma Hanum, the wife of a close relative of the throne, says a writer in the Boston Globe. I was assisted out of my carriage by a gaunt eunuch in a black frock coat and red fez, who gave me the shivers as he clutched my arm with his sable paw. Inside the hall I was met by a crowd of female slaves, who helped me to remove my wraps. They varied in age from 15 to 40; some of them were negresses, but the majority were Circassiana. REVIVAL SERVICES STARTS AT ZION. Rev. Harding Stirs Up People. Sunday night Zion Baptist church was fairly alive with spiritual fervor and music. The well organized choir under the skillful hand of Mrs. E. L. Faulkner, showed the results of her training. It is not too much to say that for some time no songs were sung with such enthusiasm and spiritual fire as were the songs of Zion, sung by that choir. It added so much to the effect of the sermon. After announcing that $1,600, enough money to pay off two notes, had been raised in the short space of two months, Rev. Reynolds departed from the usual method and lifter the collection of $46 at the beginning of the service for the day. Rev. Harding took his text from Revelations, fifth chapter and sixteenth verse, "Worthy Is the Lamb." After showing worthiness in all the different human phases, he turned on the spiritual light, which made the subject appear like a new theme. He was earnest, enthusiastic and very forcible at the different climaxes of his sermon. The striking feature of his sermon was the intense interest and appreciation shown by the elderly members of the church. His appeal was touching, pathetic and forcible, and succeeded in getting many seekers for prayer. Monday and Tuesday nights very effective work was done and many persons showed much anxiety for a change of heart and change of ways by coming to the altar. EUREKA LITERARY EXCELIENT PROGRAM. Some people might have thought because the officers of the organization had changed that the programs would change, and that the interest would lag, but such was not the case at the first regular program of this administration, and for this year. The house was crowded almost to the door and the best program for the year was rendered. Mr. Clarence Clark, solo and pantomine work was exceptionally good. The following will appear upon the program next week: Violin solo, Mr. Morgan Jackson; vocal solo, Mrs. Turley; reading, Miss Nelsine Howard; solo, Miss Ford, paper, "Tuberculosis and the Negro," Embalmer R. E. Handy: report of critic and refreshments. The feature of the evening will be quotations from Longfellow. Madame Hackley sang in Boston last week and from the glowing reports, she carried Boston by storm. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

The woman who is so embittered that she is uninteresting to herself can never hope to be beautiful or interesting to others. Duten 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 children's companions, and it is sometimes delicate affair to avoid charismaism, 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.

Confession—Consolation. Let a friendly heart divine our sorrows and force us to confess them, and we find in this confession a consolation a thousand times sweeter than the absolute silence which flattered our pride.—Viscountess De Lar 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 difflident youth. His thoughts were interrupted as she called out to him: "Oh, doctor, we are just going for a "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. PAGE & THE DANGER OF INCOGNITO. One May Hear Opinions the Reverse of Flattering. Ever since the "30s" the pretty little Orleanais have danced into the small hours of the morning without a clue to their partner's identity, for with wig and mask completely covering the head, the masker's incognito may well defy detection. Indeed, even if the lady were able to recognize a masker through some peculiarity of his speech, she would be careful to keep her discovery to herself. Frequently, I am told, extremely droll incidents have resulted from a crafty expedient resorted to by married men to keep their wives in doubt regarding their whereabouts on the night of the ball. This usually consists of an agreement between two maskers to call out their respective wives. Not long ago two gentlemen who had formed a similar pact danced through the night without either of the ladies suspecting their identity, when one masker—a doctor—pleased with the way the scheme was progressing, and seeing his wife glide past on the arm of his partner's husband, chose to add an additional convincing note to the deception by exclaiming, 'Why, there goes the doctor's wife!'" "Yes," replied his pretty partner, examining his wife with a hypercritical eye, "isn't she an awful mess?"—Harper's Magazine. HIS ACTION WAS OPPORTUNE. Brutal Husband Starts in the Millinery Business With Great Success. "What are you doing?" harshly demanded the brutal husband, abruptly entering the room. "I'm just going to trim this 49-cent hat I bought yesterday," replied the trembling wife. "Extravagant woman, you will ruin me with your everlasting bargain hunting!" he exclaimed, enraged, and, seizing the hat, he crumpled it in his hands, trampled it under foot, and, finally flinging it into the corner of the room, strode away. Weeping, the wife stooped to pick up her insulted property, but her tear-stained face was irradiated by an ecstatic rapture as her eyes fell upon it. "O!" she exclaimed in delight, "now it is the exact shape of that $40 French hat I saw yesterday, and I never could have gotten it that way myself. All it needs is a couple of blue roses and a bunch of lavender buttercups."—Lippincott's Magazine. Longing for Country Lots A strange thing is the universalonging of professional men and otherswho have come to the city and haveprospered as they advance in life toget back to the country. It is seldomthat they do return, and when theydo there is often disappointment andthings do not appear as they did longago. The change is in the manhimself, but he thinks it is in the country.Nevertheless, the desire to get backto the old country place to end one'sdays is very general. Sir Walter Scottrefers to it and compares the courseof a man through the world to that ofthe hare which is started from herhair and after a long chase and makingslarge circle ends by returningto it from which she started. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. NEW IDEA OF CONSUMPTION. Doctor Says Disease Is Primarily Derived from Cattle. A London physician, Dr. W. Picket Turner, who has made a first-hand study of the disease for many years, advances the theory that the medical world is attacking the problem of consumption by an utterly false route. His view, briefly stated, is that tuberculosis is an animal disease primarily derived, in all cases, from cattle. It belongs, he says, to the myotic group of diseases, diseases in which the original source of infection is a plant. Bovine cattle derive tuberculosis from timothy and other allied grasses by natural affinity. Man acquires the disease by ingestion or inoculation, never by inhalation. It is not hereditary; neither is there any predisposition to it in the individual. The bacillus in a state of nature is saprophyte, feeding on decay of the vegetable world. But the bacillus becomes pathogenic—capable of causing disease—in cattle when they are deprived of actinism or the property of the chemical rays in sunlight It would, if all this be true, become reasonable to assume that by restoring actinism to cattle the bacillus would again become a saprophyte, in which case consumption would be extirpated. "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 midnight, 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. of I was, I didn't get my feet wet, by gosh." Prist Too studious When Rev. Fr. Coyle assumed charge of St. Mary's church in Boston a gentleman of the city, who had an employe, a very devout Catholic, inquired of him how he liked his new pastor. "Why, sir, I like him pretty well." "Pretty well! Why, what fault have you to find with him?" "To tell the truth, sir, I should have preferred a man who had finished his education; for several times when I have waited upon him I have been told that he was at his studies." ```markdown ``` CLU J.

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."

Poot Regrets That Fortune's Favor Are Not More Liberally Bestowed. It was a pitiful mistake, an error and grim. I waited for the rail way 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, maid-en 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 addresses 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.—Mari M. Pratt. 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. Beon 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 egg, in the absence of your grace, under the biggest goose in Baron's Court." The World's Alphabets.

Before my son was a doctor, I was ill a whole year, and now that a doctor wouldn't cost me anything, I am as healthy as a fish in the water."—Musketee. 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. COLORADO. FOX HUNTING BY 6. STEM. Iaine 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. More Philadelphia High School. The board of education of Philadelphia has decided to divide the city into five sections, and to establish a high school in each.

Life seems to be an opera serious or comic for many Negroes Between the extreme of acting as though the whole of the future of the human race depended upon them and being so indifferent that they do not take care of even themselves, members of our race fail to be in unison with the times and therefore hinder their own advancement Let us quit play acting and be real Americans. A little work beats a lot of resoluting. In Colorado Springs the efforts of the colored citizens to provide firstclass Christian surroundings for young men has resulted in a Y M. C. A. that is owner of a piece of property valued at $4,000, with nearly half that amount raised to apply on the purchase price. This was not the work of years but of months and is a high tribute to our resolute neighbors. It seems a pity that a Christian body such as the Y. M. C. A. in this city professes to be, should offer no hope for the young Negro, but it is useless to make protest and the manner in which the problem is met in other cities offers Denver a solution.

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