MEETING WITH GREAT SUCCESS M. REV. A. M. WARD, Pastor Shorter A. M. E. Church, Den ver, Colorado. TWENTIETH YEAR MEETING W GREAT Monday night concluded the second quarterly meeting of Shorter A. M. E. church. It has by far been the most glorious quarter for years for during it was held the soul-stirring revival that brought 87 penitent converts and reclaimed Christians to the foot of the cross and added 76 to the church. The membership now numbers 476, a growth of 100 since the beginning of Rev. Ward's pastorate six months ago. An unusual feature of the revival meetings was that the --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY MARCH 20, pastor with such assistance as could be given from time to time by the local ministers, did the evangelistic work himself, having no special evangelists to assist. The results of the work done, with dozens of men and women saved, whose resolute turning to the church has awakened such rejoicing in the church as has not been known for years, amply justifies his judgment as to the best method of procedure. Continued on page eight State Historian & Natural History Society RIDAY MARCH 20, 1908 THE EUREKA SCORES S THE EUREKA SCORES SUCCESS --- 1908 Under the presidency of Raymond Clark, the Eureka Literary has again resumed its sessions after the revival meetings. Not one whit of interest has been lost in the society. All the officers were present to listen to the program so excellently rendered Tuesday night. The principal features of the program were the instrumental solo "Andrew's Nocturne," by his sister, Miss Andrews, who received a warm encore for her performance. The paper, "Mission of Today," by Dr. T. E. McClain was excellent for historical, practical and technical review and interpretation of events of nations. The Turley-Hicks duet, "Love Me and the World Is Mine," and the "None Such Quartet" caused the house to give them an ovation. The "Bon Bon Buddy," a semi-monthly literary journal, edited by Wayman Ward, produced great laughter and applause. A special program has been arranged for next Tuesday night and a large crowd is anticipated. The following program will be rendered at Scott M. E. church under the auspices of Mrs. Eva Tate, secretary, and Miss Helen Karr, treasurer, on Thursday, the 26th: Vocal solo, Mrs. Arlena Burms; piano solo, Mrs. Mae Byrd; vocal solo, Mrs. Clingman; mandolin selection, Chas. Gaskins; vocal solo, Mrs. J. W. Turley; reading, Mrs. Esther Morris; duet. Miss is Elsie von Dickersorn and Marie Jeter, and vocal solo, Clarence Clark. Fried oysters and other refreshments will be served. The None Such Boys will be present in a body. Miss Richardson, Miss Josephine Allen and Mrs. Elna Morgan have consented to be present and take FIVE CENTS A COPY KA SUCCESS care of the crowd. Owing to previous engagements Messrs. Harris and Jackson could not serve. ST. PATRICK SOCIAL. The Christian Endeavor assembled at the parsonage of Shorter church Monday night. The guests were confronted with beautiful decorations of red with a green background. The decorations of the rooms includes Irish personages, events, snakes, turtles, dogs, cats, frogs, aligators, fishes and teddy bears, together with the Molly McGuires and Bridget O'Ryans in their red waists and green skirts, and reflective of great ingenuity, art and taste upon Wayman Ward as chairman of the Social committee. The Parnells, Currans, Robert Emmett, O'Connell and O'Reilly were the notable personages there in company with "Queen Mab." Many funny and interesting games were played but everything was a hush when "Queen Mab," with flowing hair, tinselled with bright gems, sparkling and dancing with glee, as she came beneath the green electric light, where the four red and green lines coming from the corners intersected and made a bow. As she descended the steps and was so royally received by "King Parnell" in his elegant equippage, in the accustomed royal manner. The queen carried the riddles, conundrums and epigrams and distributed the questions and prizes. Miss Gertie Nichols and Mr. Wayman Ward were respectively the queen and king. Just as funny as the enigmas and prizes were just so funny and ludicrous was the menu, the result of the brain of Mr. Ward. Roll sand- Continued on page thirteen WAYS TO OVERCOME INSOMNIA. Poetical and Perhaps Practical Methods of Inducing Sleep. "What lulls me to sleep after everything else has been tried," said the first sufferer from insomnia, "is to think of a sunset, the sun just gone down like a dull red ball, the skies mellow, half golden, half lavender, soon to turn all lavender, which will soon be purple, getting slowly by and by darker and darker until it is the purple of night and the evening star has come out. 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." EXPLAINED THE WHOLE THING. 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.'" Petitions to an Emperor. One of the most interesting features of the emperor's visit was the number of petitions which were, so to speak, thrown at him during his fortnight's stay. Scarcely once did his majesty drive out from the Hradschin without somebody attempting to present an appeal. Usually the petitioner was a small child and occasionally a woman. Most of the requests were for pecuniary assistance. The emperor was always extremely courteous, and when, as frequently happened, the letter missed the carriage and fell into the road he invariably ordered the coachman to stop while the document was brought to him. The household chancery is now dealing with something more than a hundred petitions thus unceremoniously presented. All of them are carefully investigated, and whenever it is possible something is done for the applicant.—Prague corve THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Rustic Had His Own Idea About "Plowing the Seas." Daniel Maloney, the brave aeronaut who met his death at Santa Clara through the overturning of his aeroplane, has never any fear of aerial accidents. Maloney put his trust in proficiency. Before each ascension he studied every detail of the car; he tried every smallest mechanism. The young man always imputed aerial accidents to aerial ignorance. "The average aeronaut," he said one day, "is about as fit to run a flying machine as the Ceciltown farmer who crossed with Capt. Lampford was to sail a ship. "This farmer, the second day out, began to dislike the motion. His appetite disappeared, he had a slight headache, and he was pale and languid. "As he leaned over the rail disconsolately, watching with a slight shudder the rise and fall of the horizon, Capt. Lampford appeared. "Look here, Capt. Lampford,' said the farmer, 'you don't understand your business.' "The captain smiled. He was willing to humor this poor, seasick rustic. "I don't understand my business, eh?' he said. 'What is the trouble with me?" "Why, blame it all,' said the farmer, 'you ought to keep in the furrows.'" A publisher's reader drew forth his notebook. "A French masseur has written a novel in English," he said, "and submitted it to my house for publication. I read this novel last week. I copied a few sentences from it. Let me read you one or two of them." The man read these sentences: "Her hand was cold, like that of a serpent." "The artist wore a velvet jacket with pants of the same color." "There is a bright flush on your cheek," he whispered, "a flush as beautiful and red as a lobster." "Ha, ha,' be exclaimed in Spanish." "He paced the floor, his hands behind him, reading a newspaper." "As she was about to reply a door opened and closed her mouth." "She ran to open the portal, with her dear little feet pattering along the corridor." Why He Didn't Get It. A deckhand on one of the steamers plying between this city and the towns on the Hudson river told a good one. He made the acquaintance of a young woman in Albany this spring and they have become very good friends. She had occasion to write him a letter, but he never received it. The girl is a German. "Jimmy, why you not answer my letter?" she asked. "Why, I didn't receive any letter, Lena. Where did you address it?" "Why, to Mr. Blank, Hudson river." "Gee whiz, Lena, I guess I'll get that letter the next time I go in swimming."—Albany Journal. Mrs. W. H. Prince entertained the N. U. G. club last Thursday afternoon at the parsonage. The afternoon was spent in literary and art work. At the social hour dainty refreshments were served.

GIVE HER A CALL Established More than a Quarter of a Century. WHEN JEFFE?SON WAS HOST. Formal Dinners at White House Part taken of in Gloom. Jefferson was a methodical man, keeping account of all his expenditures, and the followed accounts kept while he was in the White House show that he spent $12,000 for liquors alone during his term of eight years, says a writer in the Home Magazine When we take into consideration the fact that glasses clinked merrily around the cabinet table as well as the dining table, and that an open buffet was kept for all callers, this amount is not surprising. Notwithstanding the low prices, Jefferson often spent as high as $50 on his small dinners, wine list not included, and he was most particular about his wines and brandies. Jefferson's state dinners were usually limited to about 40 guests. The large dining room was not considered finished, so when his guests were numerous he had a long table placed in the center of the great east room, and dismal enough it must have been, with its bare walls, many windows and draughts and insufficient light from the candles, which dropped wax tears at every wind which blew up from the Potomac. No wonder Jefferson and several of his successors looked forward dismally to the state affairs and cheerfully to the informal dinners. HUNT FOR A HANGMAN. Difficulty In Finding Some One to Execute a Murderer. The British army was once in difficulties through the lack of a hangman. Murder was committed by a soldier in the Crimea, but nobody could be found to carry out the sentence of the court-martial. It was announced that £20 and a free discharge would be granted to the man undertaking the task. At last a man volunteered. He was a newcomer to the army. On the night prior to the date fixed for the execution they locked up the hangman in a stable to keep him safe. In the morning the party at the gallows waited, but there was no hangman. He had gone mad during the night, or else he was now simulating madness. The officer in command turned to one of his captains with: "Captain, you will have the goodness to hang the prisoner!" The captain changed countenance, but he pulled himself together, and appealed to the sergeants with: "Which of you will hang this man?" And to spare his captain, one of the men volunteered. He afterward had the satisfaction of flogging the man who had volunteered and failed.

Dear Sir:—In view of the failure of so many health and accident companies during the past six months, I feel it my duty to say a word about the Colorado Mutual & Benefit Association. While its name would imply that it is a mutual company, I understand that it purports to be a fraternal order, but who ever heard of a fraternal order insuring both black and white? The company is looked upon by the knowing ones with suspicion, and the insurance Department openly states that the company has no right to exist, and that it is not complying with the laws of this state. It is offering is a bait to the public benefits that it will never be able to pay, and it is presumed, like the Commonwealth Life Association, its dipes will be many before it is finally forced out of business.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. PAGE 16 Your Duty to Others. We must all realize that this life is full of sorrow, and if you personally have had the good luck to escape your share of it you are a very fortunate person. But do not, on that account, allow yourself to grow cold-hearted and unsympathetic to others. Those poor others! Their lot is often so hard—so lonely—so full of misery. We are here to "heal the wounds and bind the broken-heart;" and the only way we can do this is by being kind, loving and sympathetic. A few words of love will do more to help a sufferer than money sometimes, says the New York Weekly. For heart sickness is much harder to help than hunger and poverty. Show interest in others; try to help them; go out of your way to lighten the burden of the heavily laden. Do not hesitate to whisper your kindly thoughts in their ears. Don't pass by on the "other side;" if you are strong, then be merciful. Remember that we all look at life from a different standpoint, and what might appear like a grain of mustard seed in your path to you is an almost insurmountable obstacle to your weaker sister. The more she shrinks the more necessity for you to step in and help her on her way with genuine sympathy and loving sisterly words and acts. Some French writers have undertaken unitedly to show to the world that their national literature is not truly represented by the coarse and indecent novels that are supposed by many persons to be the most characteristic production of literary France. Not only is it not true, remarks the Youth's Companion, but the picture of French life drawn from these novels is grossly unjust. There are hundreds of French novels written every year that are as sweet and wholesome as anything England or America can show; and anyone who desires a true representation of French family life may find it in Prof. Barrett Wendell's recent book. Moreover, the study of art, history, science and many other branches is pursued in France by competent and painstaking writers. It is proposed to establish agencies in English and American cities for the sale of the best French books. If there are not 48 stars on the flag within a year or two it will not be for lack of effort on the part of citizens of Arizona and New Mexico. A convention of delegates from every part of New Mexico adopted resolutions the other day demanding the admission of the territory as a state. The governor of Arizona has reported that the statehood sentiment in that territory is stronger than ever before. Bills were introduced in the senate on the first working day of the session of congress providing for the creation of two new states out of the territories. As the effort to pass a joint statehood bill has been abandoned it is now necessary for the two territories to convince congress that they are worthy to be admitted to the family of states. That the world is not drifting into a sameness of conventionality is proved by a debutante dinner in Detroit. wb were enter- A story comes from Philadelphia of a mother who nearly killed her child by making the old mistake of taking a bottle of poison for the medicine which should have been administered. The present age has many marks of progression, but it seems impossible to teach everybody the great importance of being careful to get the right bottle. We have it from an eastern scientist that girls can preserve their beauty for a hundred years by the use of radium. As it only costs about a million dollars a pound the prescription will not be generally followed. Besides, remarks the Detroit Free Press, Detroit and Michigan girls don't need it. Nature teaches man how to count. The earth's swing around the sun fixes the number of days in the year and the number of fingers, thumbs included, on a man's hands led to the decimal system and the "count" that scores a knockout in the ring. A New York girl proposed to a man just as the clock finished striking 12 on New Year's eve, was immediately accepted and the wedding took place an hour later. This should give timid girls courage to do some pointed asking. The finest club house in London is to be erected in Pall Mall for the Royal Automobile club, which has secured from the crown a lease of the old war office. A New York cabby reported the other day that he had been robbed, which shows that the worm does turn at times.

Youngster's Expression Touched the Hearts of Wanderers. 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 Applan 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. Tinfoll Valuable. Several of the best-known chocolate manufacturers on the continent are advising customers not to throw away the tinfoil in which the chocolate is enveloped, but to keep it until called for by an agent, who will gladly pay the market price for it. The present high price of tin is due to the action of English and Dutch speculators, who have forced it far beyond its actual value. The chocolate industry in Europe spends nearly $4,000,000 annually for tinfoil, which is generally thrown to the winds. Requested One Favor Eugene Spuller was minister of public instruction when Casimir-Parler was president of France. When the doorkeeper brought him his letters one morning Spuller said to him: "Were you not supposed to be or duty last night at 11:30 o'clock?" Yes, sir." "And you were not there?" "That is correct," replied the doorkeeper, "but I have a sick mother, your excellency. I wished to visit her." "Quite proper," returned Spuller, "and I hope your mother will soon recover. But I would like to ask you one favor. If you go to visit your mother once more, please have the kindness not to lock me in my office. I had to spend the night at this desk because I could not get out!" A SNAP—SIMPLY A CINCH. Eleven-room house, full of furniture, right in town. $300 cash. Everything modern. See Lawyer George G.

Every mirror is made at the cost of human suffering and poisoning. The silvering of the glass by applying a layer of tinfoil alloyed with mercury involves so much risk of poisoning. the work people constantly breathing the mercury vapor, that numerous attempts have been made to use another metal for the purpose. It was shown by Liebig that a fine adherent deposit of metallic silver could be applied to glass by reducing a solution of a silver salt with milk sugar, so this method has been employed as a commercial process. There have been partly successful attempts to get a like deposit of copper. The mirror often lacks brilliance and is usually disfigured with stains. But it has been found by one F. D. Chattaway of England that solutions of copper salts can produce brilliant reddish films of metallic copper which are as perfect reflectors as silver mirrors. His method of coating glass with a layer of copper, it is thought, will probably be used extensively in making mirrors and other glassware articles. MEAN FLING AT CLEOPATRA Suggested Use of Needle Clearly a Reflection on Size of the Royal Feet. Anne Boleyn and Cleopatra, who were great chums, were strolling about Paris together one lovely spring afternoon, and after they had visited all the bargain counters of the more famous department stores of the French capital, their wanderings led them out upon the Place de la Concorde, in the center of which stands one of the several Cleopatra needles that have been taken from the borders of the Nile and re-erected in our modern cities Paris. London and New York. "It is a pretty thing, is it not?" said Cleopatra, gazing with much natural pride upon the towering monolith. "It is indeed," said Anne Boleyn, surveying it critically through her lorgnette. "But tell me, Cleopatra," she added—"I am very curious to know—was that really one of your needles?" "Yes," replied the Egyptian queen, "it really was. Why?" "Oh, nothing," said Anne, with a glance at Cleopatra's feet. "I suppose you used it to darn your stockings with?"—Harper's. DISTINGUISHED. "The man whom I marry," said the proud and beautiful girl, "must be one who is exceptional. I hate mere commonness." "Then be mine," urged the young man who had been refused by her 20 times before; "I am the one you are looking for." "You!" she exclaimed, making no attempt to conceal her derision; THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. "what have you ever done to lift yourself above mediocrity? How have you ever distinguished yourself in any way? You are one of the commonest of the common." "You wrong me. I am very different from most men. I had no money in the Knickerbocker Trust bank." DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. "Was it a nice wedding?" "Beautiful. Never saw a handsomer one and everything went off without a hitch." "Without a hitch? So? What was the trouble? Didn't the minister get there?" "Get there? Why, yes! I tell you there wasn't a hitch from beginning to end." "No hitch! Well, tastes differ. You're too modern for me. I like weddings with a hitch in them. What good is a wedding where nobody's hitched?"—Life. THE BLUSHING BRIDE. A clergyman, having performed the marriage ceremony for a couple, undertook to write out the usual certificate, but, being in doubt as to the day of the month, he asked: "This is the ninth, is it not?" "Why, parson," said the blushing bride, "you do all my marrying, and you ought to remember that this is only the third."—Current Literature. NO SPORT.

Campbell presented a very weighty paper before the Alliance Sunday on "Colonization." After having outlined his plan, he discussed the feasibility and attending conditions and circumstances which elicited quite a bit of discussion. Mr. Campbell made quite a few of manly utterances as he strongly put his argument. His paper presented a working basis. Fuller details will appear in this paper. CARD OF THANKS.

It is said that some diamonds will shine by their own light when placed in a dark room. Prof. Crookes, of London, says that when diamonds are placed in a vacuum and exposed to a current of electricity, they shine with different colored lights. He has seen them emit bright blue, pale blue, apricot, red, yellowish-green, pale green and orange rays. One beautiful green diamond in his possession, when phosphorescing in a good vacuum, gave almost as much light as a candle. The light was pale green. --- Miss Ruth Robinson was the hostess at a very pleasant party a few evenings ago. Taffy-pulling was the chief amusement and was participated in by the following: Misses Marthena and Eva Palmer, Eunice Ashford, Virgil and Ruby Gaskin, Vivian Taylor and Wm. Ashfard, Jr. A pleasant time is reported. Mrs. H. H. Jones, the estimable wife of our pastor, has been successful in organizing a much needed auxiliary to the A. M. E. church. A sewing circle has long been one of the needs of the church and under the efficient management of Mrs. Jones promises to be a very profitable enterprise. The last meeting of the Arnett Missionary Society of Allen's A. M. E. church proved very interesting and highly instructive. Among the good things rendered was an excellent paper prepared by Mrs. H. H. Jones and read by the pastor. "Missions" was the subject and was handled in a very pleasing and inspiring manner. A song by the girls in class No. 2, of which Miss Mae Smith is teacher, was very sweetly rendered. Rev. Hardy, of Tennessee, is conducting a series of meetings at the Second Baptist church in our city. The meetings are very well attended and considerable interest is manifested, several accepting Christ. Rev. Hardy is an enthusiastic worker and great spiritual results are hoped for before the close of the meetings. Mrs. George Mitchell entertained the members at the last regular meeting of the Search Light Club at the cozy home of Mrs. Wm. Ashford. Mrs. Wm. Dewese read an article on "Sara, the Wife of Abraham." The composition showed careful thought and study and was animatedly discussed by all the members present. Dainty refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. Mrs. Charles Bowler was to have entertained the sowing circle last Monday afternoon, but owing to illness was unable to attend. She was represented by Mrs. Mae Smith, who assisted by Mrs. Landor served at the close of the session delicious choco- late and wafers. The meeting was held at the parsonage. The members attending were: Rev. and Mrs. H. H. Jones, Mrs. J. C. Gaskin, Mrs. Chas. Lucas, Mrs. H. C. Jefferson, Mrs. E. F. Landor and Miss Mae Smith. Our minds are still reverting to the past quarterly conference which convened here a few weeks ago. Presiding Elder delighted his hearers with his most excellent counsellings. Love feast and communion were entered into with the sweet peace and harmony which becometh all Christians. The communion altar cheered more hearts than have been cheered at any former service of its kind in Allen's A. M. E. church in Cheyenne, Wyo., for many a day. Mrs. H. C. Jefferson proved herself a charming hostess at a recent meeting of the Searchlight Club at which the husbands of the members were entertained. Mrs. Clara G. Ashford, the chairman of the program committee, was choice in her selection of speakers for the occasion, the addresses by Messrs. E. F. Landor, H. C. Jefferson and J. A. Baker were exceptionally good. Special mention is made of Mr. Baker's address. His subject was "Our Mothers" and for depth of thought and beauty of expression was fine from a literary standpoint. The program was interspersed with music, both vocal and instrumental, Miss Lillian Jefferson and Mrs. Baker playing beautiful piano selections, Mrs. J. E. Smith and Mrs. E. F. Landor rendering vocal solos. After the program the guests repaired to the dining room, where a sumptuous repast was served. Mrs. Jefferson was assisted in serving by Mrs. Wm. Dewese and the Misses Lillian Jefferson and S. Katheryn Thistle. Yes, the long looked for and much talked of "Leap Year Party" given by the Search Light Club is at last a thing of the past. Last Thursday evening witnessed the great event. The ladies of the Search Light Club have entertained and entertained, but never in its history has the Club equalled the Leap Year Party. To begin with, the decorations were beautiful, crimson hearts being the chief decoration and their appearance was a joy in itself. Tables spread with dainty spotless linens and laces on which shone brilliant candelabra, tinkling silver, dainty China and cut glass were in profusion. And the flowers, roses and carnations in great abundance. The ladies and gentlemen were very tastefully and appropriately attired for the occasion, most of them being in full dress. Had a prize been awarded for uniqueness of costume, Mrs. Clara Ashford would have won with out any effort, as tastefully attired in the latest ladies "cut-away" she presented a most stunning appearance. A derby hat and dainty walking stick added much to the attractiveness of her costume. Messrs. Orlandor and Wayne Gaskin, two of the gentlemen in attendance to be honored by lady escorts were conveyed to the party in an automobile. Their escorts were the Misses Mae. Smith and S. Katheryn Thistle. The ladies of the Search Light Club has received many congratulations on the success of their entertainment. MRS. E. F. LANDOR: Correspondent. FAGEE THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ‘ WILLED AWAY THE LAUNDRY. ‘Gomewhat Peculiar Transaction, But : It Went. . When a perfectly strange woman eame for the soiled clothes three weeks ago the mistress of the house came to the conclusion that her own Jaundress had simply employed a new messenger, and made no com- ment on the circumstances, But when two weeks had gone by, and still the old laundress—known as Susan, mp last name having been mentioned— did not appear, the mistress of the house felt that she would be lacking in her duty if she did not make some inquiry about her. “Where is Susan?” she asked the tall and bony structure ‘who came for the clothes. “She has gone to Pennsylvania to live, yes- sum,” returned this person, with com- posure. “She went to Pennsylvania some time ago, an’ she lef’ good-by fer yuh, but s’long es yuh didn’t seem tuh notis I didn’t say nuffin’.” “But why didn’t she come and tell me and ‘allow me to make some arragements ebout my laundry?” asked Susan’s ex- mistress. ‘Well, she lef’ yo’ clothes tuh meh. She made a will an’ lef’ dem clothes tuh meh. Wese allus been good frien’s, and so w’en she lef’ she say I may wash yo’ clothes long ez I wush tuh, an’ dere wuz no use ‘use worrying yuh ‘bout it, now was dere!” To which moderate and sen- sible question the mistress of the house could only remain speechless. Baltimore American. BOTH OF THEM SATISFIED. Business Man Had Joke and Book Agent Practice. “I wonder,” said the tall man in the suit of faded black, “if I could interest you in a new and cheap edi- tion of the works of Anthony Trol- lope.” “I don’t know,” answered the man at the desk. “Go ahead and let me hear what you have to say.” The book agent began at once. “Every Qtudent of literature knows,” he said, ‘that Anthony Trollope was one of England's great novelists. It is true, perhaps, that he wrote for a limited class.” And so on, for ten minutes. “No,” said the man at the desk, turn- ‘ng again to his work, “you haven't succeeded in interesting me a bit.” “That's all right,” rejoined the tall ‘man in the suit of faded black, replac- ing the sample volumes in his valise with tmperturbable composure. “I have just started out canvassing with these books, and I was only practio- ing on you.” POWER OF THE ROTHSCHILDS, Accumulated Wealth Soon to Make Influence of House Enormous. It has been calculated that at the present rate of accumulation the Rothschilds will own by the middle of the present century some £2,000,000,- 000 sterling, or nearly enough to pay off the national debt three times over, Says a writer in the Grand Magazine, of London, England. The imagination is staggered and fails to realize the power which is represented by such figares. It could finstice, or it could stop, a war; it could delay the indus- trial development of & country for s generation; or it could,.on the other hand, enable 8 countty which it fa yored to beat all its {ndustrial rivals. A power like this must have its fingers on all the arteries through which flows the life-biood of commerce, the ebb and flow of which it can regulate un- controlled. For Happiness in Marrlace. I have spoken of the only true and right motive for marriage, and ven- ture my opinion that marriage should not be too eagerly sought by either sex, but rather waited for until the certainty has come that one loves worthily and well. I mean, that for & man to say to himself, in cold blood, that it is time he should marry, and, for that reason, to look about for a wife—instead of being aware that he loves and therefore desires to marry the one beloved woman—is, to my thinking, as unwise and in almost as poor taste as for a girl to discover that it is time she were settled in life and, in consequence, set about trying to attract a husband. In neither case is happiness in marriage likely to be the result of such a quest.—Louise Chand- ler Moulton. WHEN BABY LEARNED TO WALK. Father Wanted to Start Him at Once on Career of Usefulness. “Children seem to be considered nuisance among the rich nowadays,” remarked a well known business man who has a large family, “and to the poor they are a luxury, so between the two extremes it is a little surprising that the infant population keeps up to its record. In the olden days it was different. Every man and every wom- an believed it a duty to their God and to their country to raise a large fam- ily, and they fulfilled the obligation with a good grace. But times have changed. The moneyed man of to-day has no time for children. He has his business to look after and his rents to collect, while his wife is continu- ally on the go with social engagements and appointments with her modiste. So the stork is left to shiver in the cold. But the poor man is sometimes as guilty as the rich in this matter. He has a family of children, but he has no time for them. I heard this illus- trated by a little story the other day, A working man who lives in one of the poorer districts of the city has seven children, the youngest of whom re cently graduated from the creeping stage of its existence. The father was sitting in the kitchen when he heard the voice of one of his daughters who was in another room. ‘Papa,’ she said, ‘the baby can walk.’ ‘Can he? Well, send him around the corner for a pint,’ replied the parent, and resumed his reading.”—N. Y.

The woman pushed levers and turnel cranks, but there was nothing doing After two street cars had come to @ stop and a crowd of perhaps 25 persons had gathered near her, she requested some of the spectators to push the machine to the curb. This was done, and the woman continued to Unker at it. Just then one of those men who knows {t all came along “The aparker's busted,” he said, tak- {ng a look under the machine “Is that so?” sald the woman, still tinkering. “Yes,” said the man who knew It all. “That machine will never run until a new sparker {s put in. You see I know. 1 used to work in a fac- tory where machines like that are made. I understand the automobile thoroughly. I saw at once that the sparker was out of commission and Chat there was no more ‘run’ in that machine.” Here he looked about him for the approbation of the crowd. The woman kept tnkering “No use,” he continued. “It won't Ko. I couldn't be wrong. A man whc knows the gasoline auto as thorouch ly as I do couldn't make a mistake 1" Just then the machine began to puff, The woman got in and awny it went.

To teach a dog not to bark would seem to be as impossible a task as teaching a child not to cry or a boy not to talk loud, but there is a case on record where a dog was so taught, although it took the trainer three years to accomplish it. Then he thought he had a dog that differed from all the other dogs in the world, but in this he was mistaken, for there fro at Jeast three varieties of dogs that never bark—the lion-headed dog of Thibet, the shepherd dog of Egypt and the Australian dog.

Ought not Disturb the Social and Business Unity of the Race After one of the bitterest fights in the history of the county, C. C. Hamlin of Colorado Springs has won out over Franklin E. Brooks in the Republican primaries. At once, with the wisdom and kindliness that marks a man of foresight and power, he announces to his friends that his thanks are theirs, and to his opponents, he says that the success of the Republican party and its harmony outweigh private revenge and that the close of the polls marked a cessation of the Hamlin-Brooks fight so far as he is concerned. The large part which colored voters of El Paso county took in the contest, it being the all-absorbing topic among them for months, causes us to comment upon Mr. Hamlin's action, hoping thereby our people may do likewise. The success of the party causes him to subordinate the very human feeling of revenge to the good of Republicanism, and the many vital points in which we are bound together both by a fellow feeling and by environment, ought to cause us to hang together lest we hang separately. It is natural that he will differ on men whom we support for office, but the great questions that bear upon our conditions, admit of no difference except on methods of settlement. The Statesman, therefore, condemns without stint any disposition upon the part of negrces when differing upon one proposition, to drag all down to common ruin for the sake of the one. This is a white man's country. Our theoretical rights and our actual ones are as far apart as the poles. The only way we can get a reasonable share of what is our due is to hold --- PAGE & THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO; TERMS. fast to every gain, guarding it jealously as a precious possession for the whole race, and at the same time choose whatever method suits the individual, to seek further advantage. Business and politics make strange bed fellows among white people, and common misery should serve to bind us together on the great majority of matters. The colored friends of Mr. Hamlin are triumphant over the Brooks adherents and they will have a glorious opportunity to say to all of our people, as their leader has said to all Republicans, the good of the whole is more important than the relentless pursuit of individual advantage. In this they will have no less noble example than Lincoln himself, who had not yet ended the four years' bloody war before he was busy with mercy, binding up the wounds of the South. Let us war among ourselves over leadership, but let our front to the American people be unbroken. Let us not let any contest among whites set up internecine strife among us. Colorado Springs is the first battleground of this year's campaign. The negroes of Colorado must emerge from it a unit no matter how they may stand on candidates during it. Our friends in Little London have been given the cue by Mr. Hamlin and the state at large has a right to expect them to set an example of race unity by which we all may profit. Success Knows No Color Line Searchers for "our native drama" might go further and fare much worse than to pause for an appreciative moment over the "Bandana Land' of those two gifted gentlemen of color. Messrs. Williams and Walker. Only their popularity and commercial suc SHALL THE RACE TRY LYNCH LAW ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY? Peace and Prosperity It is so easy to criticise, to tear down, that it is not remarkable that this year, the opposition to the Republican party has by fair and foul means won many Negroes to their cause. The 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 polis, 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 advancing on Chaos and the Dark.—Emerson. cess saves them and their colleagues from being dragged into the rarified air of really literary criticism. Certainly they have supplied the most interesting "American" musical comedy of the day. The massive Williams takes the part of Skunkton Bowser, a big, wellmeaning, easy-going, illiterate negro, who has fallen heir to a lot of money, which his self-appointed guardian, Bud Jenkins, is helping him to secure. The slenderer, vivacious Walker impersonates the clever, crafty Jenkins. Each of these men is an artist in his own vein, and surely not since the palmy days of Weber and Fields has there been any more amusing and really legitimate comedy in a musical play than the scenes between these two, with the big man compelled to trust to the superior worldly wisdom of the other, and yet always vaguely aware that he is being "done." The scene is laid just outside a town in northern Georgia, and the droll sincerity of the author's point of view is suggested by the fact that the plot hinges on a negro corporation's plan to buy up a desirable tract of land and turn it into a park for colored people, in the hope that the white folks will gladly buy them out at several times the original cost. The first meeting of the corporation is held in the back yard of Amos Simmons, the owner of the property, and the members struggle in, one by one, leaning on canes, complaining of rheumatism, each with his few words of greeting. This is all sung—ragtime ingeniously turned into a sort of recitative much after the fashion of "grand" opera—the whole chorus naturally falling into a song about the weather. "Tain't Gwine to Be No Rain," when all are assembled. The whole is an adaption of negro rythms and actual lite to musical comedy, which makes the cackling entrance of the ordinary Broadway chorus look very crude and childish indeed. There is charming dancing by both principals and by Mrs. Aida Overton Walker, and a ragtime song by Walker's "Bon Bon Buddle. the Chocolate Drop, Dat's Me"—quaintly reminiscent, by the way, of the "Villa" song in "The Mery Widow"—of which the audience can scarcely get enough. With such things as "The Soul Kiss" representing the setting our white managers choose to provide for such an artist as Genee, colored people ought to be pretty proud of such an entertainment as this. The authors of the book, Messrs. Shipp and Rogers, are also members of the company, and the composer of the music, Mr. Will Marion Cook, leads the orchestra. It is a fine and cheering sight to see all those able colored people working so harmoniously and effectively together. For themselves, at least, they seem to have solved the negro problem. Meeting with Great Success From page one Financially the church was never in better condition. There are no debts, current or mortgage, outstanding. Notwithstanding the financial depression that has been affecting the country, the trustees and stewards have made a splendid showing for the quarter with the treasuries of all the auxiliaries of the church showing a balance. In order to bring about even more thorough work no less than to accommodate the increased membership, the classes have been increased from seven to twelve. At a meeting of the whole membership last Friday night, Rev. Ward laid a plan before them for raising an Easter collection of $800 to make some needed improvements.

I wonder if the love ideals of wom- anhood are changing with the sex, which is certainly in a transition state. At one time It was a rare event for a woman to marry a man much younger than herself; now it is a com- mon one. Not so very long ago, in her secret heart, the unattached maiden rather longed for a master to whom she might play the part of admiring and adoring satellite; but in the pres- ent year of grace she prefers to be sovereign herself, and to have a prime minister who {is useful and subordin- ate. Can this change be in any way due to the superior inches of the mod- ern woman? A difference must in- evitably exist between the day dreams of the six-foot something and the day dreams of five-foot nothing. Only the other evening, at a concert, I was much struck by the imposing manner In which a very tall woman, splendidly gowned, made ier entrance into the room. She swept In as if the whole world belonged to her, while behind her followed an insignificant creature In black carrying her costly cloak, her fan and I don't know what else.

GOOD THING TO LEAVE ALONE. Physicians Advice to Those Who Are Fond of Mushrooms. It may be possibie that when all the boys are dead they will quit eating toadstools and dying in spasms there- from. The edible and poisonous varie- tles of these fungi are too close to- gether in genera] and species for the Average youngster to differentiate them. It continues, after many years, to be the same old story: Eat it: if it kills you {t 1s a toadstool; if it agrees with you it is a mushroom. Some years ago the department of agricul- ture at Washington issued an elab- orate and beautiful set of illustrations of mushrooms and “near” mushrooms, labeling one set “edible” and the other “poisonous.” The story leaked out that the printers got the labels mixed, and that the transposition was not discovered until the work had been sent broadcast. The oficials did some tal] hustling in an effort to call in the issue. A well-known physician sald to me the other day: “Owing to the very great difficulty in ordinary life of detecting the true from the false, my mushroom advice has usually been ‘let both kinds alone.’"—New York Press.

A Famous Model, A good many years ago—27, to be exact—the most famous model in the world, Antonio Corsi, wandered from town to town as a strolling minstrel in England. Felix Moscheles, the fa- mous artist, happened to discover him at Dover, brought him to London and employed him as a model. That was the beginning of a really artistic career, and to-day Antonio Cors! has the distinction of being the finest model in the world, as well as the most famous. All classes of painters have been thankful to employ him. He posed for Sargent and Abbey for the well known paintings in the Bos- ton public library, and he has not dis dained to appear as Mephistopheles on a can of deviled ham. a TEMPLE MAT oy | FT : Will give a grand Mask Ball | THURSDAY March 26, 1908 Dania Hall 27th and Arapahoe Harris’ Eat Orchestra nbs pe a. s Admission 35 Cents We Do Job Printing Could Have Their Choice.
