ALL STAR MINSTRELS EAST TURNER HALL Admission 50c MARCH 10 MEETS WITH GREAT SUCCESS The entertainment of the True Reformers at East Turner hall last Thursday evening for the first time brought prominently before the public this order which, though the youngest in the community, has outstripped all others in membership. Two years ago the membership throughout all Colorado consisted only of the twelve members of Colorado Enterprise Fountain entitled to benefits. Then there arrived in the city in the person of A. C. Cash of St. Louis, the chief. Works speak volumes and in no other way shall we praise the work he done. What intelligent leadership and enthusiastic work can do is shown by the growth of this small band into six fountains under the leadership of Messengers H. B. Brown, Irene Fife, J. R. Contee, A. M. Lawhorn, Mrs. M. Thomas and Allen Davis, with 255 members in full standing, to say nothing of the 100 children gathered into the juvenile society. This latter is under the guidance of Mrs. Cash and though only a few months old already is in a healthy condition. A new club is in process of formation under the leadership of A. A. Waller to meet Wednesday nights, making seven fountains in all. Chief Cash wishes to have twelve fountains in this city, raising Denver to an enviable height among the strongholds of the order. The True Reformers is remarkable for being the wealthiest of the societies of Negroes in this country though comparatively young. Its banks, its buildings, its mercantile enterprises are the wonders of the east and will spread as it growns in strength. Messenger Contee attended the grand meeting in Richmond last year year and says that it is the best ever. ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY MARCH 6, 1908 ENTERTAINS ROSE BUDS. Mrs. L. O. Tucker entertained the Reformers' Rose Bud Nursery children Tuesday afternoon, March 3, at her residence, 1861 Curtis street, in honor of her daughter, Thelia Tucker's, twelfth birthday. The house was decorated with colors of red, white and blue, Japanese parasols and lanterns. Music was one of the evening's pleasant features, and games. The following presents were given: Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Cash, gold bracelet; Mrs. Susie Howard, set of gold beauty pins; Mrs. S. B. Davis, gold souvenir spoon; Naome and Willie Jones, a beautiful necklace; Thelma Montgomery, a glass tea set; Edith Dingman, China cup and saucer; Ruby Wahler, Japanese cup and saucer; Olgesby Lawson, burnt leather purse. THE LIFE LINE CLUB. Mrs. Ella Ely will entertain the Life Line Club at the residence of Mrs. Roundtree, 2531 Stout street, Thursday evening, March 12. All members are requested to be present. After the regular routine of business the following program will be rendered: Piano solo, by Mrs. P. E. Spratlin; select reading, Mrs. L. E. Carson; address on club work, Mrs. Ella Ely; vocal solo, Mrs. Irene Fife; address, Rev. Ward. JUVENILE BAND. Among the juvenile organizations that we well feel proud of is the Juvenile Brass Band of the People's Presbyterian church. The band consists of twelve pieces composed of boys and girls of the church, and are furnished an instructor by Rev. Cole. They practice twice a week and expect to entertain their friends Easter Sunday. LET US ORGANIZE FOR CHARITY Through the medium of women's clubs and churches there is going on a great work among the colored people of this city toward alleviating the distress of our own unfortunates. There is not however, a central organization making this work compressive and thorough-going. The high character of the men and women engaged in these scattered efforts, convinces us that they can organize and thereby make themselves the more efficient. Then if some one of the churches will undertake the purchase of investment property, devoting the income therefrom to charity, Denver will have not only a charity organization sufficient for its needs, but will have a sinking fund as well. State or individual help that may be needed for our people will be the more freely given when the success of our efforts for self help is seen. The big-heartedness of the Negro race is responsible for the absence of black faces from the soup line on Eighteenth street. Let us add system to sentiment and make our city peerless in its charity work. TH : ELKS GRAZE Sweet dreams faded away from the ecstatic mind of Ed. Harris Tuesday evening of last week in a hurry when the Elk herd with horns a-clashing broke in upon him and reminded him of his birthday. They came with songs and remained with jokes, games and Elk milk. A delicious lunch was served, after which the leader gave the parting sign amid many wishes for the continued health and happiness of Mr. Harris. Mrs. Harris was the clever plotter who arranged the affair. OBITUARY. Florence Smith. The funeral services of Miss Florence Smith, who departed this life Sunday morning, was held at Shorter's chapel, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Deceased was loved by all and the floral offerings were profuse. Interment in Fairmont. The Lawhorn Undertaking Company was in charge. Rev. Ward officiated. Roy Harris. The funeral services of Mr. Roy Harris were held from the Lawhorn parlors Wednesday. Interment at Riverside. Rev. Beckham officiated. Ludella Bundy. The earthly remains of Lindella Bundy lies at the Lawhorn undertaking parlors. Funeral will be held Sunday at 2 o'clock from Campbell chapel by Rev. Payne. Nora Williams Saturday Nora Williams departed this life at the St. Joseph's hospital after a very severe and painful operation. Miss Williams first came to Colorado about six years ago and going to her old home in Topeka later returned to Denver, where she made so many pleasant friends. As a true young Christian Miss Williams had the respect and confidence of the community, who express their deepest regret for her demise. She was ever faithful to her class and church duties and very sympathetic to all. Her body is to be buried at her old home in Topeka and under the charge of Q. J. Gilmore, the undertaker. Affliction Little Heeded by the Fatalists of the East. The first thing that impresses the stranger at Cairo is the number of blind—men, women and children—to be found everywhere in the shops and on the streets. Ophthalmia is very prevalent throughout Egypt. Because of superstition concerning "the evil eye," the native mothers of the middle or the lower class do not wash the eyes of their babes at all. Watching the flies buzzing unheeded around and upon these blind children, a stranger hastens to buy a fly whisk. These are for sale everywhere, and are quite attractive with their ornaments of fancy beads and palm leaf fiber. Blind beggars greet one at every corner. Even in the high class Egyptian families there are many blind. The lower classes of Egyptians are given much to hasheesh—that is, the lower classes in the large cities—and, although it is against the law to sell it, one will have the hasheesh places pointed out and the men who smoke the drug are seen everywhere. They are distinguished by the peculiar appearance of their eyes, which become red, swollen and baggy underneath, and by the peculiar color of the skin, which resembles somewhat the skin of a Chinese opium smoker. — Leslie's Weekly. LOOKED SUSPICIOUS TO HIM. Youngster's Reasoning Natural Under the Circumstances. Five-year-old Lewis had on several occasions successfully evaded his nurse, and paid surreptitious and delightful visits to the workmen on an apartment house in process of building at the corner of his block. As the result of his observations there he unconcernedly and without prejudice emitted a choice and varied assortment of profanity at the luncheon table. His shocked mother tried to impress upon him that never, never again must he repeat such words. But Lewis either lacked discrimination or his parent's warning had not been sufficiently impressive, for a few days afterward he vented a notable addition to his vocabulary of expletives. His mother this time waited not for speech, but promptly and firmly seized the young man and washed his mouth out with soapsuds, which she had already demonstrated as an effectual spiritual cleanser. A few days afterward Lewis was watching the nurse give his six-weeks-old sister her bath, and when nurse carefully washed out the little mouth Lewis asked interestedly: "Nurse, has baby been saying naughty words?" A Rude Republican. A western congressman who goes abroad each year tells of the militant republicanism of an American he met in Brussels last summer. This man, it appears, was a merchant in a small town of Indiana. One morning they were out for a ride, and as they passed through the gates of a public park their equipage passed that of King Leopold, which was leaving the park. Following the custom, the congressman, as did every one else near by, except the merchant from Indiana, lifted his hat, whereupon the democratic Leopold also lifted his hat and THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. bowed and smiled. The merchant sat bolt upright looking straight ahead. "Know who that is?" asked the congressman of the merchant. "Yes; I recognized him from his pictures. It's King Leopold." "Then why didn't you bow to him as I did?" The merchant from Indiana stiffened in his seat and squared his shoulders. "I don't bow to no kings," he said.—Philadelphia Record. Colombia's Great Commerce River. The port of Barranquilla, Colombia, has a population of 50,000, is 17 miles up the Magdalena river from the Atlantic coast, and owes its importance especially to being the terminus of navigation of the Magdalena, the great commercial artery of Colombia, a river which is navigable for over 600 miles, and carrying on its waters the bulk of the trade of the country. Five river companies have headquarters in Barranquilla, and they operate 36 steamboats and 43 barges, with a total tonnage of 10,689 tons. Steamboats leave port for the interior practically every day. The trip to Bogota, the capital, takes between 10 and 20 days, according to the condition of the river and weather. The return trip is made in between six and ten days. Nature Fake. Boxer, a handsome bay horse, was well known in Joliet for his powers of reason. A loose shoe had been annoying him for several days, and when his master turned him into the yard to graze, Boxer leaped the fence, trotted down street to the shop where he was regularly shod, and held up his hoof for the inspection of the astonished smith. After resetting the shoe the smith turned Boxer into the street and the intelligent animal returned to his pasture and his feeding as if the performance were an everyday occurrence.—Chicago Tribune. On the Big Jobs. In New York city alone the great works of tunnels under city and river, railway terminals and depots, water supply and other similar enterprises now in progress aggregate the enormous sum of $625,000,000, or more than four Poorma canals, says Popuahile three of the unto $100,000,000 Landseer a Nature Faker. An English reviewer gravely assures us that Landseer's famous painting, "Eagles Attacking Swans," is based on an entirely false assumption. Eagles do not battle with swans or other quarry. They strike or pounce upon their prey and never descend to vulgar brawling. This is a handsome compliment to the eagle, but a sad blow for art. PORTER'S SHINING PARLOR. Strictly first-class.

GIVE HER A CALL Honest Pickpocket Worried Over Inability to Restore the Property He Had "Lifted." "Billie" Holt, proprietor of the Grand hotel, has many accomplishments, not the least of which is the gentle art of picking pockets and gleaning diamond studs from shirt fronts. Some persons call him "Light Fingered Billie" because of his ability to get away with the goods. At the time of the recent Democratic gathering at the Grand hotel, when crowds in the lobby were more interested in the outcome of the chairmanship fight than in their own welfare, Holt reaped a fine harvest of watches, stickpins, and other articles of personal adornment. At one time he had eight gold watches, with chains and fobs attached, in his trousers pocket. These he exhibited with pride as a testimonial of his prowess. But a sad sequel came when the honest picker of pockets sought to return the appropriated jewelry. Two watches bore no identification marks, and "Billie" had forgotten from whom he had lifted them. It took the good natured host two hours to find the rightful owners of the stolen timepieces.----Indianapolis News. - Jones (to old gent who is staring)— Excuse me, sir, but do you find anything familiar about me?

Thoroughly English as she is in taste, she, of course, wears only the most severe and serviceable costumes of golf, yachting and all sorts of outdoor sports; but in the evening and at great public functions her toilettes are splendid and her jewels the admiration of everyone.

With closed eyes, two young men in the blind asylum were playing chess. The board they played on had the black squares raised and the white ones sunken, while the black pieces were rough and the white ones smooth. "Give us this handicap on account of our blindness," said one of the young men, "and we will play as quick and accurate a game of chess as anybody. Give us checkers and a checker board constructed on the same plan, and there, too, our playing will equal yours. "I would rather be blind than deaf," he went on. "Blindness doesn't rob you of much. The blind are excellent anglers. They play a good game of euchre, or poker, or bridge. They use cards that have embossed pipes. "The blind are good runners, good gymnasts. In our last sports the hundred yards were done in under twelve seconds, and on the horizontal and parallel bars, the giant swing, the corkscrew, the straight arm balance and the finger balance were executed in a way that elicited a vos of aplause.

February 9 was our quarterly meeting. The P. E. Rey. J. H. Hubbard not being able to be with us, he secured the help of Rev, W. T. Osborn, of Helena. He came over on Saturday and ably as- sisted us in every way. Rey. W. T. Osborn is a preacher of the Gospel such as the A. M. EB. church should be proud of. Our quarterly meeting was a grand success, both spiritually and financially. Five Persians united with the church. Monday night we held our love feast. The quarterly meeting and love feast was such that we decided to go into a series of meetings. At the close of the first week’s work ten persons united with the church, All but one of this number were young ladies and young men who had made a start for the first time. At the be- ginning of the second week I secured the help of Rev. W. T. Os- born, who stayed with me _ three nights. I found the church with an enroll- ment of ten, which is now raised to thirty. Financially our church is awake to duty, for in a little over eight weeks we have raised for all purposes the sum of $165.47. REV. E. D. ABBOTT. ALAMOSA, COLO. Will Epps is here for a few days.

UNNinG FARM WITHOUT WORK “ot Quite That, But a Creek Does Many Things by Electricity. \ progressive farmer in New York vo heralds the era of kid glove scmaing, according to the Technica! old Magazine. He has made lazi ' a success, and can now do his “2 Work without a backache. ‘There is a ttle creek running erouch his farm. This he has har ed and forced to run a dynamo which in turn gives Hght and heat oy the house and outbuildings. but Mr. Miner was not satisfied with iis accomplishment. The hardesi task ‘bout the farm, the one which every- most dreaded, was turning the i. separator at a speed of 7,400 lutions per minute. This had n done by hand. 3o Mr. Miner installed a motor -bich turned the milk separator every vrning and evening satisfactorily without any hard labor on the part i the progressive farmer. The next job to be hitched up to (se new horse was turning the big arrel churn. Then came the grind- s.one which is the farm hand's bug- bar during the harvest season. The tullistream Was next made to pump the water for household use up to the roof, where there was a large res- ervoir for storing it. lbut wood had to be used for the cookstove, and the sled-length logs had to be cut down, so a cireular saw was added to the outfit and a new use was thus found for the electric current. Bees Died from Overwork. The beeman, as he gently removed a tawny cluster of bees from his beard said: “Above all things, never set a bee- hive near an arc light. If you do, your bees will die of overwork within a week, , “An are light emitting a powerful fllumination was put up last spring near my beehives. The night it was ut up the bees, mistaking its light for jaylight, worked like beavers, though jead tired. When the dawn came and the light was extinguished the bees, quite worn out, turned In; but lo, in a few min- utes the sun was shining, and out the poor, bedraggled little creatures hur- ried again, for no bee will consent to pass the daylight hours in idleness. “They got through the day somehow and at dusk, after 36 hours of unneces- {ng toil, they once more turned in. Alas, the arc light began to hiss and glow again, and the poor bees, worn to shadows, bent, pallid, staggered forth for another round of labor. “They were all dead by the end of the week—victims of overwork, every mother’s son of them."—N. @ Times.

In order to avoid the blunt word “mad,” many euphemisms are resorted vo in the English language. While ‘lunacy’ refers to the supposed influ- ence of the moon, “insane” simply means unhealthy; “imbecile” signifies only weak, and “crazy,” meaning de crepit, almost corresponds to the slang “cracked.” “A tile off,” “not all there,” “a bee in his bonnet” are only a few of the efforts slang has made to carry off the sad fact with an uneasy joke. “Lunatic asylum,” for the old “madhouse,” represents not only a “reat improvement in the institution but also in the term used to designate Disorder Makes Trouble. It is astonishing how all of us are generally cumbered up with the thou- sand and one hindrances and duties which are not such, but which, never- theles, wind us about with their spider thread and fetter the movement of our wings. It is the lack of order which makes us slaves; the confusion of to-day discounts the freedom of to- qorrow. H Milllonaires of Yucatan.

Each gen- tleman paying the price of lunch was entitled to select the color of ribbon that struck his fancy and also the pleasure of taking the lady whose card appeared on the ribbon to lunch. As a result no ribbon was left unpur- chased and no one left the Tyler resi- dence without partaking of the eiab- orate lunch, The social was a com- plete success, both financially and so- cially. Mrs. Tyler was highly com- plimented for her beautiful way of en- tertaining.

Farmer Came with His "Bite of Things," as Directed. The love of animals is deeply implanted in the Magyar character, and most of the peasant farmers of Hungary own valuable horses and highbred stock. They are well-to-do, although they live in a primitive manner, have a keen sense of humor, and are ready to take trouble to put the laugh on some one else. In "The Whirlpool of Europe" this story is told of one of the Magyar farmers: A typical peasant farmer, a man of considerable wealth, was well known for his adherence to old clothes and customs. On one occasion a young farmer, new to the district, who had taken a small holding not far from that of the old man, perceived a shabby figure leaning against the gate on the edge of his property, and said: "Hi, old man! Do you want some work?" The wearer of the shabby sheepskin took his long pipe out of his mouth and nodded gravely. "Well, you come along to-morrow and look after some of my sheep. Bring any of your bits of things or animals with you; there's plenty of room on my farm." The next day, as the young farmer walked across his fields, he saw a cloud of dust coming up the road. Presently there emerged from it a herd of cows, horses and sheep—hundreds of animals with their driver. The cavalcade swept past the astonished man. Behind it came a huge wagon, creaking and groaning, laden with heavy furniture, in the front of which sat his shabby acquaintance of the day before. "You told me to bring my animals and bits of things," said the old man, "and here we are."—Youth's Companion. The Modern Rush. Wife (to her husband)—Poor children!

Since the virtual eclipse of Harry Lehr as a society favorite he has taken to the society of a cockatoo for comfort. Mr. Lehr is said to feel very much the ingratitude of those whom he used to amuse in days gone by with monkey dinners and similar elevating functions, and it is said that he hopes, with the aid of a trained cockatoo to regain at least some share of his former glory. Modern Author Uses Quill Pen. George Meredith is one of the group of authors who remain faithful to the old-fashioned quill pen. There be those who believe that no work of genius can be produced with anything else in the way of pens and the authorities of the British museum seem to agree with them, for they still offer to visitors the good old goose quill. Mrs. Herrick an Anthropologist. Mrs. R. F. Herrick, mother of the governor of Ohio, who has lived in California for forty-five years, is much interested in anthropology. At a meeting in San Francisco several days ago of the American Anthropological association she read a paper on "Indians of Humboldt, Nev.," which created much interest. Mr. Waterhouse Had the Floor. Judge Stewart, while residing in the town of Hartland, was the cause of a little impromptu sport. The town meeting was held in the Opera House, and he was moderator. The men were seated in chairs which had to be handled with the greatest care or they would shut up and the occupant would go to the floor. Mr. Waterhouse, weighing 200 pounds, was seated in the front row. After the meeting had been duly opened Mr. Miller arose to make the opening remarks. Just then Mr. Waterhouse moved, and found himself spread full length on the floor. Without a moment's hesitation Judge Stewart said: "Excuse me, Mr. Miller, but Mr. Waterhouse has the floor."—Boston Herald. Carried Away With the Wagon. When the police department of the city of Pawtucket received its first patrol wagon, some years ago, there was considerable speculation as to who would be the first person to be given a ride in it. It was a handsome vehicle, with crimson running gear. The wagon had been in commission for the greater part of a day before there was a call for its services. A disreputable looking tramp was the first passenger, and after his release he was so informed by one of the officers, who inquired: "How did you like the wagon?" "Fine," was the answer of its first occupant; "the first time I saw it I was carried away with it." Shipbuilders Leave England. Many British skilled shipbuilders, still recently employed in the English naval dockyards are emigrating to the United States, where they hope to find employment in the expected expansion of the American navy.

Sinner Had Improved In Observance of the Sabbath. While going through Maine, Evangelist Moody happened to be in the town of Waterford, where he neard of John White, who had the reputation of working on Sunday, although all the ministers in the neighboring towns had argued with him and tried to stop it. Mr. Moody decided to try his luck with him, and after a long talk succeeded in convincing him that it was wrong to work on Sunday. The next Sunday White was in church and his name enrolled. In a few days Mr. Moody left the town, feeling that he had done a thing which had proved too difficult for others, and that at least one sinner in that town had been turned from the error of his way. A few weeks later, while driving a load of lumber into the town, White was met by the deacon of the church, and the following conversation ensued: "Now, Mr. White," said the deacon, "isn't there a difference since the spirit of God has entered your soul?" "Yes, there is quite a difference." answered White, frankly. "Before when I went to work on Sunday I used to carry the axe on my shoulder, but now I carry it under my coat." Intentions. There is no French law against suicide, but those who have attempted recently to drown themselves in the Seine, and have failed have been arrested and punished on the authority of an old law which forbids throwing bodies into the river. One such arrest was made recently. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. "But," said the judge of instruction, "you admit that you cast yourself into the river. That is illegal." "The law," said the prisoner, "provides for the punishment of those who cast dead, not living, bodies into the river, else every one who went swimming in the Seine would be a criminal." "But," said the judge, "you intended to be dead. You had wickedly planned to make of yourself an offensive corpse and with that most loathsome thing to corrupt the waters of the Seine. I fine you a thousand francs." "Very well," remarked the prisoner. "Take it from the sum which was confiscated from my pockets by the police at the time of my arrest." "There was no money in your pockets," said the judge. "True," said the prisoner, "but I had intended that on that date there should be a million francs there."-- Judge. No Need of a Key. It happened during the recent visit of Secretary Taft. Several of them were debating on the important affairs of the city, when one of the company suggested that it would be a graceful and courteous thing if those who preside over the municipality out at the city hall would present the war secretary with the keys of the city. "Well, I can't quite comprehend what good the keys of the city would be to Secretary Taft or any one else," quietly suggested Gavin McNab, "in view of the fact that San Francisco is a wide open town."—San Francisco Chronicle.

The universal spread of American slang is amazing and the globe trotter meets with it in the most unexpected places. Last October two Americans wandering about the Plaza d'Espagna in Rome were accosted by one of the numerous small boys who sell postal card pictures of the Holy city. He held out a sheaf of postal cards and offered them for sale, stating the price in Italian. The Americans did not care to buy, and, like his guild the continent over, he followed them and became a bit of a nuisance. But he was such a merry eyed little chap they had not the heart to speak harshly to him. At last, however, they felt obliged to say "no" decidedly. It was then that he surprised them and gave them a queer little pull at their American heartstrings, by saying, his black eyes snapping with fun and the magnitude of the achievement: "Skeedoo! Skeedoo! Twanta-thr-r-r-ree!" Then he vanished with a burst of laughter. But the sequel was equally interesting. Late that same afternoon the same couple came from the Catacombs into the white glare of the Appian way, five miles from the Piazza d'Espagna. They had hardly stepped into the street before the same urchin was at them again, and when he recognized them he was as amused as they. This time he did not offer them any cards, but simply said: "Skeedoo! Skeedoo! Twanty-thr-r-r-ree!" And he got his generous soldi, as he knew quite well he would. PUSHING A "GOOD THING." Almost Too Much Eagerness for Reward of Virtue. The general manager of a traction system of a western city recently received the following communication, together with a five-cent piece: "I beg to advise you that a week or two ago I rode home on car No. 1999, of your Main street line. The car was very crowded, and the conductor, through no fault of his own, failed to reach me. When I left the car he was too far to the front to enable me to get to him. I, therefore, now remit you the amount of my fare, and beg to say that I would have done so sooner had it not been that I was out of town." This unusual occurrence was reported by the general manager to the road's board of directors, with the result that, by their instruction, an annual pass was sent to the honest patron, together with a letter couched in complimentary terms. The recipient must have recounted his experience to his neighbors, for in a little while the manager received a letter from another patron, reading: "In view of the fact that yesterday I neglected to pay my fare on your line, I herewith inclose a five-cent piece. Kindly forward pass to address below." A New Pipe Fad. The portrait pipe is a fad with certain wealthy young men, says a London paper. One of the most beautiful is owned by a well-known peer who was married to an American beauty a few years ago. He wished to have a pipe made bearing the likeness of THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD his wife, and left several photographs and a statuette of her with the carver. A month later he received the pipe and a bill for $800. A number of pieces of meerschaum had been tried, only to prove defective, and the last piece, which measured eight inches high, seven inches broad and 12 inches deep, was reduced to a pipe three inches high and $1 \frac{1}{2}$ inches at its widest part. When completed the pipe had passed through the hands of 27 workmen. All in the Picture. "It's a queer proposition photographing the average foreigner," said a Euclid avenue photographer. "If you take a picture of a foreigner and get only a side view it's no go. He has to have both eyes and both ears showing, and even both hands. I had to take an entire family group over the other day because two or three of them didn't have both hands showing. They told me that they wouldn't think of sending the picture to their friends across the water if there was a hand or an ear missing in the picture, as their friends might think something had happened to them."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. His First Trousers. Little Tommy was at Sunday school in his first pair of trousers, and a picture of a lot of little angels was before the class. "Tommy, would you like to be a little angel?" asked the teacher. "No, ma'am," replied Tommy after a careful inspection of the picture. "Not to be an angel, Tommy? Why not?" inquired the teacher in surprise. "Cause, ma'am, I'd have to give up my new pants." Time to Move. "They're putting out an awful lot of good songs these days," said Mr. Staylate. "Yes?" queried Miss Patience Gonne with a yawn. "Yes; there's a new march song that's great. It's fine to march to—" "Indeed? I wish I had it. I'd play it for you." Always Holds to That. "It's remarkable how often a woman changes her mind." "Oh, not always. There's one idea every woman gets that she never changes." "What's that?" "The idea that she's pretty." Catholic Standard and Times. 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. Boon afterward the duke received a better 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, the absence of your grace, under." Highest goose in Baron's Court. Not Quite the Same. "It's a funny thing, but I can never remember your name," remarked one young woman to another at a bridge whist party the other day. "It'll tell you how to remember it, returned the other. "It's Byrne, so all you have to do next time is to think of fire." This appeared to make an impression where the other name failed and quite unconsciously, as the next guest stepped up, the newcomer was introduced to "Miss Fire." Undertaker Q. J.

By the time it begins to shine like a soft glow-worm in the dark soft rich purple I am asleep." "I think of a deep, soft, velvety curtain that has come down over everything that has worried me, come down between all the world and me," said the second sufferer. "I say to myself: 'Now there is nothing before me but this beautiful thick, soft, dark curtain, and it is getting darker and darker. It is grayish purple now, it is deeper purple. See how soft it is. See how velvety it is. It is a deep, rich purple now. Now it is black, so black, so rich and heavy and velvety, so velvety—' And when it is quite black, so soft and deep and velvety that it rests the mind of my eye entirely, I fall asleep." Note Was at Once Brief and Beautifully Comprehensive. A. J. Ulrich, traffic manager of the Keystone Telephone company of Philadelphia, has deleted the word "please" from the vocabulary of his exchange girls. They will hereafter say "ring off" instead of "please ring off," "call again" instead of "please call again," and so on. "The word 'please,'" Mr. Ulrich explained to a reporter, "was used in our telephone business 900,000 times a day. Allowing half a second for its utterance, that meant a daily waste of 125 hours. Why shouldn't all those hours be saved, saved for some better use? "You know," Mr. Ulrich went on, "I believe in few words. Wasted, superfluous words mean spoiled effects. What, for instance, could have been more telling, more effective, than the note, containing not a single superfluous or wasted word, that a man once wrote to his physician? "This note ran: "'Dear Doctor: I had a few words with my wife last evening. Please send me a bottle of lotion.'" Providing for the Future.

(err park at the head of the) The number of women speculators is amazingly large—much larger than even the ordinary Wall street habitue would imagine. It is not commonly known, but it is a fact that many brokerage houses maintain private rooms for their women customers, with more often than not, private en- trances. There are several reasons for this. One is that many women who speculate do so secretly, without the knowledge of their family, their rela- tives or their friends. On this account they desire privacy, desire to move and have their Wall street being un- known. Another reason, says W. R. Givens, in the World To-Day, is that the broker himself desires it, princi- pally, be it confessed, because he is anxious that if there be any “scenes” they shall be private ones, “far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife’— and sight. For truth compels the statement that women are poorer los- ers than men. It is the testimony of conservative brokers that a woman gambler is much more of a gambler than a man—much more, that is, in ab- sorbing tenaciousness and almost vin- dictiveness. She seems to be carried out of and beyond herself to a degree that becomes uncomfortably disquiet- ing when she loses. Even when she is a winner and, as | have said, the pro- portion of winners to losers among women is about one to twenty, there seems to be in her satisfaction a kind of maliciousness that is not good to see. 4 Before the Central American eonfer- ence dissolved it added to its long list of memorable achievements the adop- tion of a measure that, if carried into effect, will do more, even, than the arbitration agreements to insure peace in the five republics. Revolutions are the bane of those countries, and they are too often successful because they are aided by citizens of an adjoining republic. Ambitious revolutionaries who have failed are safe as soon as they have passed into another coun- ‘try. The man who has succeeded in overturning a government and has an- nounced himself as dictator or presi- dent is immediately recognized by the governments of the neighboring states Now all this is to be changed. Rev- olution is to be discouraged, and one republic is not to be even neutral when a revolt breaks out in an ad- joining country, but is to be actively hostile. No republic is to recognize as president of another republic any man who has not reached the position by the ordinary method of a regular election. The club women of New Jersey have been laboring for ten years to save the Palisades on the Hudson, and at last see the reward of their labors, for a public sentiment has been created and the permanent committee by New Jer- sey and New York will try to hold enough of the Palisades to make a per- manent yark, an interstate affair, $50,- 000 beiny; appropriated by New Jersey and $100.000 by New York. The league organized by the women’s clubs of New Jersey and the department of for- estry of the federation have worked tegether to raise money for a public memorial park at the head of the cliffs, with a lookout tower to mark the site. The federation ts to use the money raised for a proper monument and are securing plans for the lookout tower. A well-known actor recently rung down the curtain because his audience displayed such levity during a serious scene as to seriously disconcert the company. Attendance at the theater is never compulsory, and it certainly would be not only kind put polite if the average audience would show some consideration for the feelings of the people who endeavor to entertain them. Indifference and inattention is a crime of which many audiences are guilty; they do not seem to think that if the performance does not suit them it would be better to leave the theater instead of annoying the actors and often others in the audience. For years it has been the custom of the New York Sun to print on its edi- torial page correspondence concern- ing the cause and cure of baldness. This is from one of the latest offer- ings: “For years I felt for remedies to stop my hair from coming out and so on, till ‘I took four bottles of your medicine for catarrh, now I have a banjo,’ was my case precisely. Here's the dope: Submerge the head in cold water daily, rub quite dry, then poura small amount of olive oil on top of brainery, rub in, and there you are. Try it and get happy.” Chicago is soon to have the world’s largest hotel, containing 1,172 rooms. Just imagine what a force will be needed to keep them all supplied with ice water!

In an interesting paper M. Moure and M. Bouyer relate the extraordi- nary care which Emperor Nero took of his voice. At night Nero lay on his back with a thin plate of lead on his stomach. He abstained from fruits and all dishes which could hurt his voice. In order not to damage the purity of its sound he ceased har- anguing the soldiers and the senate. He attached to his service an officer specially deputed to take care of his voice. He talked only in the presence of this singular official, who warned him when he spoke too loudly or forced his voice, and, if the emperor, carried away by some sudden fit of passion, did not listen to his remon- strance, it was his duty to stop his mouth with a napkin—Modern Medi- cine. The Nation of Shopkeepers. Napoleon must have been right after all. We are a nation of shop- keepers.

Shakespeare folios, first editions of Walton, the portraits of Reynolds, of Romney—these and any other na- tional heirlooms, only given a fat enough offer, we are happy to part with to any foreign nation that has the taste and money to buy them.

For loyalty to the country it sets an example of vicar- jous sacrifice unprecedented in the history of nations The iniquities visited upon us, so far from making us indifferent or unfriendly to the United States seems to serve to make us love it the more dearly.

According to accounts the Japanese are experts in smoke rings and in Jap- an it is considered no uncommon trick to blow three rings of smoke in suc- cession, the second traveling through the first and third through both. Some stage performers become so expert in smoke-blowing that they are not only able to multiply the number of rings thus formed, but actually form Jap- anese characters representing words and even sentences. One Japanese juggler, it is declared, proposed to his wife by forming the characters repre senting his avowal of love through a a stream of smoke. | Gave Name to Popular Carriage. There is a pretty bit of history in the name of that vehicle, the fiacre St. Flacre was an Irishman of noble birth who went over to France in the seventh century and lived as a her- mit in a forest near Meaux.

Tle Statesman believes in the destiny of the Republican party, Not all members of that party are kindly disposed to us but the great bulk of our friends are allied with it, and our hope lies with it rather than with Democracy. To the end that it may win success at the polls, we offer this space for contributions from our readers bearing on the political situation, with only the usual restrictions of size, legibility, etc. Trust thyself; every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves child-like to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being. And we are now men, and must accept in the highest mind the same transcedent destiny; and not minors and invalids In a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides, redeemers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort and ad- vancing on Chaos and the Dark.—Emerson. Democracy makes its bid for the vote of the Northern Negro in the coming campaign by introducing dis- franchisement into Maryland. Gor- mon, the greatest Democrat of his state and one of its leaders, the dic- tator of politics in Maryland has gone to his grave, with lustre dimmed be- cause of his iniquities championing of this un-American subterfuge to main- tain his party in power, but his ghost goes marching on. Oklahoma, Democracy’s lates: ac- cession, cleverly included proscription measures in its constitution, just evading contravening the enabling act of Congress by the narrowest of mar- gins, but yet so glaringly inconsist- ent with the spirit of the act that President Roosevelt spoke out against it. Yet Oklahoma is going to send a Bryan delegation to Denver to make the platform of the party that is re- ceiving the pledges of the extremist Negro malcontents, in preference to the Republican party if Roosevelt or Taft is the nominee, Heflin, an Alabama Democrat, sought undying fame in his own state and won the contempt of his col leagues in Congress by asking the di- vision of the races on the street cars of the District of Columbia.

A reporter on the staff of the Shanghai Times tells how justice is dealt out to offenders in the police court of that Chinese city: "Business appeared very dull at the Shanghai slave market yesterday, as Yang Wq Zung and Ng Ah Kung were unsuccessful in their attempt to dispose of two girls whom they offered for the ridiculously low sum of $80, after having kidnapped them from their home in Pootung. This case was a very intricate one, the kidnapees having changed owners several times. After going exhaustively into the evidence the court announced that the accused were convicted upon the charge of having attempted to sell the children and they were remanded for further inquiries previous to being sentenced. The children were ordered to be sent to the Refuge for Slave Girls. "Tseu Chong Sung, a runner, was charged with attempting to extort money from Tsung Wong Sze at 80 Park road, on the 20th ult. Tseu will not do any sprinting for a week, as he is to be scientifically touched upon the spot by the official bambooer 500 times, after which he goes into the cool, calm seculsion of the municipal cloisters for one week. "Chang Ah Ong was charged with stealing 120 pairs of the upper parts of Chinese silk shoes, valued at $60. Chang gets 200 blows and a month's imprisonment." ```markdown ``` Styles That Are Souvenirs. Did you ever hear of how the tight-wristed blouse got its name? It is called the "Garibaldi" blouse. It dates from the Corsican leader's days of peasantry. He was poor then, and he used to wear an old red jersey with full sleeves and tight wrists. When he became famous his soldiers petitioned him not to cast it off. So he wore it on through all his triumphs. Years after, when the Corsican was dead, a society lady in London fancied a blouse with the same full sleeves and drawn wristbands. "Call it the 'Garibaldi,'" suggested a shopwalker. And they did. There is the "Gladstone" collar and bag. The famous statesman was the first to wear the one and the first also to use the other. Now every busy man and woman has a "Gladstone." As to the collar, this is not nearly so popular, but it lives in memory. Changed Her Mind. "So you wish to break our engagement?" he asked, bitterly. "I do; I feel that you do not appreciate me as you should," she responded. "Then I shall sue you for breach of promise, for a hundred thousand dollars damages!" With a cry of delight the fair young thing threw herself into his arms. "Forgive me, George," she murmured. "I was mistaken. If you think my affection is worth that much to you, I am yours." Obeying Injunctions. The late Bianup Dudley of Louisville, Ky., some time before his death, which occurred in New York, was invited by some women friends to take luncheon at the Martha Washington, the woman's hotel. The bishop was a very absent-minded man, and found upon arriving at the hotel that he had not been shaved that morning. Stepping up to the clerk at the desk, and much to the horror of groups of women in the hotel, he asked: "Can you tell me where the barber's shop is in this hotel?"—New York Times. Soak a head of cauliflower in cold water, break it into flowerets and cool in salted boiling water for 30 minutes. Keep it perfectly white; if it boils too long it will lose its color. When done lift it carefully and stand aside to cool. At serving time arrange it in a salad bowl, sprinkle with chopped parsley and a tablespoonful of onion juice, pour French dressing over all.

Unselfishness gives us a wide circle of interest and delight. What we do for others has as much to do with our happiness as what we get for ourselves Just think how many joys a man may have who is not confined to his own reasons for rejoicing! Remember how Jeanie Desy blessed the good lady who helped her, saying: "When the hour of trouble comes—and seldom may it visit your leddyship—and when the day of death comes, that comes to high and low—lang and late may it be yours, O my lady! then it isna what we hae done for ourselves, but what we hae done for lthers, that we think of most pleasantly." And this truth is for all hours, though it be most clearly manifested in the hour of extremity. Doing the most for others is doing the best for ourselves. If you have never made another life bright, you know not how much brightness can come into your own.—Montreal Herald. CP NEAT AND PRETTY COMPLIMENT. Erglishman's Tribute to Genius of Scottish Divine. A tribute which was at the same time both gratifying and clever was once paid to the genius of Dr. Hugh Blair, the famous Scottish divine and author. Dr. Blair had collected a considerable party to meet an English clergyman at dinner. A Scotchman present, proud of the doctor's fame, indiscreetly asked the stranger what was thought of "the sermons" by his professional brethren. To his horror, and to the mortification of Mrs. Blair, the Englishman answered: "Why, they are not partial to them at all." "How so?" faltered the querist; "how could that be?" "Why," replied the southron, "because they're too much read, and so generally known that they can't borrow from them." The whole company, hitherto in a state of embarrassment, were, at this ingenious compliment put at their ease once more. Popular Members of Astor Family. Following a long series of social triumphes in Europe, Mrs. John Jacob Astor settled down in Newport and found herself more popular than ever. Nearly all of her costumes are of English make, having been designed and constructed by court dressmakers. Mrs. Astor has an ideal figure for the display of such finery.

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 Women Smile at Fortune's Veils. Prof. Fortuny, known as an esthetic enthusiast, is providing much merriement for the fashionable women of Berlin. He has on exhibition a new feminine costume he has invented and which is known as "Fortuny's Veils." The veils are of silk chiffon from five to six yards long and two yards wide. Their colors are light rose, violet and blue. On the chiffon are painted Greek vases and other ornamental Greek designs made from articles unearthed in ancient Greek cities. Fortuny wants to clothe his contemporaries with these veils worn over ordinary apparel to supplement rather than supplant what is being worn. He argues that veils, when beautifully draped, give an individuality to a woman's appearance, that the art of draping will be brought to such a state of perfection that the modern women will surpass her ancient Greek sisters in the art of dressing. He shows also little gold pins and broaches of Greek design to hold the veil together.
