The sewing circle, under the effici ent management of Mrs. H. H. Jones, wife of our pastor, is proving an ac quisition to our community that has long been needed. On May Tth 2 bazaar and supper is scheduled, which promises to be a very profitable affair. Mrs. Helen Thompson, who has been afllicted with ptomaine poison- ing. has quite recovered, and we hope soon to see her among us again. Her son Arthur Thompson, who has been in the hospital receiving treat- ment for wounds which he sufferea from being attacked while sleeping, is also on the road to recovery. The choir of the A. M. E. church was successful a few evenings in clearing a neat sum from a concert which they gave for the purpose of securing books for choir use. The program rendered was very pleasing. Special mention is made of the vocal! solos of Miss S. Katheryn Thistle, of whom great things along the line of music are expected in the near future, Several choice selections were ren- dered by the choir and vocal selec- tions by Mesdames Smith and Landor and H. C. Jefferson were heartily en joyed. The Misses Jefferson, Thistle and Hopkins were heard in piano se- lections, which were very beautiful indeed. Mrs, C. G. Ashford is always pleasing in dramatics, and delightes her audience with choice selections. Master Eddie Landor was _ heartily encored in recitations from Dunbar which he rendered in a manner which would do credit to one beyond his years. Altogether the concert was a success. At the close of the program, the members of the Christian En- deavor served an appetizing repast. Paster Sunday has come and gone, and with it has past one of the bright- est in the annals of history of Allen's A. M. B. church in Cheyenne, Wyo. The cozy auditorium of the church was very tastefully and beautifully decorated. The morning services were very spiritual, Rey. H. H. Jones delivering himself with unusual depth of feeling. The Sunday school ana Missionary seciety had charge of the SIE Rab eh eg cae ge ers” which was infectious and inspir ing. Mr. P. C. Crutchfield was elo- quent in his timely remarks. Mr. Ward voiced the sentiments of ali present in his most timely address regarding the attitude of the church toward the young men of our com- unity. Rev. Jones is to be congrata- lated in securing such talent as the eboye mentioned, for upon them the success of the program was largely due. The social activities and festivities have for many moons past depended on the ingenuity of the minds of the members of the Searchlight club. Many- enjoyable meetings have been held since our last communication to our readers. At a recent meeting, the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. James E. Smith opened its wide doors to receive the members, their husbands and other invited guests to an open meeting which was held one evening. An enjoyabl etime was spent, the menu served was very elaborate. Mes dames William Redd, W, M. Ashford and J. A. Baker have also demon- strated their ability as charming hos- tesses as was proven by recent meet ings of the club, which were held ia tne pretty homesfl The programs rendered at these different meetings have been above the usual high mark, Miss Eva B. Hopkins and Mrs. H. C. Jefferson reading most excellent com- positions. The music rendered has also been much enjoyed, the musically inclined members cheerfully respond- ing when called upon. Mrs. P. C. Crutchfield has been accepted as 4 member of the organization, and her addition to our club is a pleasure to all concerned. Mrs. William Ashfor! was unanimously elected as our dele gate to the federation of clubs, which is to be held in Pueblo, Colo., in June. Mrs. BE, F. Landor was elected as al- ternate.

E. church came to an end last Sunday with the most glorious result in years for even that hustling congregation. Bight hun- dred dollars had been sked for, fifty clubs to raise $16 each. So far did they outrun the expectations of the pastor, Rev. A. M. Ward, and his of- ficers, that even $20 per club was raised, netting a total of $1,054.50. This magnificent sum was raised with- out any let-up in the regular collec- tions of the church ‘or diminution in any department of it, Coming so soon on the heels of the wonderful revival services of the past winter, the pastor and people feel a pardonable pride in the results achieved. The services Sunday morning were beautiful and BOULDER, COLO. Special Easter services were held at the A. M. BE. church as usual. Rev. Holmes preached at 11 o'clock. The gbservance of Sunday was spiritual and uplifting. The choir sang “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” The afternoon services for the children were of a high order, conducted by Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Mary White, su- perintendent. The little folks made a creditable showing for themselves, whic hwas appreciated by those pres- ent. The entire program was rendered with much applause to each partici- pant, especially the motion song. Easter proclaims new activity in every walk of life, which was shown by per- fect appointment and artistic floral ef- fect. Lilies, ferns, palms and potted plants in profusion added grace and beauty to the occasion and the merry warble of the sweet songster. Much credit is due Miss Clara Richards and Miss Georgia James { ntheir effort to secure so many beautiful plants for the decoration. The evening service was excellent. The program for the evening was as follows: Responsive reading by pastor and congregation, prayer, Rev. Jas, Clay, organ re- sponse, “Christ Is Risen;” song, choir, full of the Easter spirit. The rally in the afternoon and the musical serv- ice of the choir in the evening round- ed out a ful lday of work for the glory of God’s Church on earth and the per- fecting of hig children.

Hearts were edified, souls lift ed up and lives blessed through the story of Christ, told in song. The ‘choir has been augmented with the ‘addition of Mr. Wallace as an excel- lent bass singer. Mrs. J. O. Holmes ought to feel proud of her excellent choir, Toe Much Tee. He was a solicitor of more or less repute, and his Saturday afternoon's pursuit was golf and whisky and soda. On this particular Saturday, however, he had been detained in town. On reaching home he was met by his wife and little daughter. “No game to-day, my dear,” he said to his wife, as he picked up his little girl and kissed her. Then his daughter sniffed the air and eaid, “Well, daddy, you do smell aw fully of golf.”—Tit-Bits, * THE STATESMAN, DENVE ?, COLORADO. PAGE 18. LAS VEGAS, N. M. A grand Easter program was pre- sented at Browns chapel Sunday. Miss Florence Talor is suffering with a severe cold. Mr. Ralph Huston was threatened with pnenumonia, but is able to be out today. We hope the members of Brown's chapel will remember the Sabbath and keep it holy by attending service once a day. Rey. Bates and wife and Mr. H. Y. Spam were the guests of Mrs. Caddie Yates Sunday. A nine-course dinner Was served. We wonder what has become of the choir. Is it because Mr. Callaway has lost his mustache? If so, we wish it Speedy growth so the choir can attend to business. Mr. Morgan Jefferson has been con- fined to his room for 10 days with rheumatism, but is now able to attend to business. Mrs. Morgan Jefferson entertained a few of her intimate friends Sunday A grand time was enjoyed by all. — Mr. Harry Kingworthy is very sick with the neuralgia of the stomach. We hope for him a speedy recovery. We have a number of ne warrivals in the city. We hope they will remain during the summer, Mrs. Martha Lacy contemplates go- ing to Kansas City soon, to be the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Nola Wil- son. Mrs, M. J.

The choir rendered several beautifu selections during the services. 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 laundress had simply employed a new messenger, and made no com- ment on the circumstances. But when two weeks bad gone by, and still the old laundress—known as Susan, ap last name having been mentioned— did not appear, the mistress of the house felt that she would be lacking im 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- powere. “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 about 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 es I wush tub, an’ dere wux 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 speechiess. —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 Cees of literature knows,” he said, at 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- ing again to his work, “you haven't succeeded im 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 imperturbable composure. “I have just started out canvassg with these books, and I was only practic- ing om you.” CHINA T) KEEP OLD CUSTOM. Officiais R:fuse to Countenance the Spreei of Western Ideas. A Shang) ai correspondent of s Ger- man pape writes: “The custom of arrangi)g matrimonial eontracts through ag:nts or matchmakers has been practised in China for ages. The business r ceives support from ill classes, for although the high-caste ‘men in sone instances select their first wives themselves, the additional wives are all secured through the agents. “This bei ag so, it was only natural that a rect otly distributed proclama- tion, written by an unknown person urging the vomen to rebel against the old establii hed custom, should have created mo e than a little excitement. |The officias ordered the immediate destruction of the handbills on which the revolut onary screed was printed and the arr 2st of those who took part im their dis tribution. “The em) ress dowager directs that further effo ts in that direction should be punishe| severely, and we know what that reans. She said that from what she bid heard the French mar- riages were for the most part happy and that those were usually arranged by the pare ots.” HAS RES’ ING PLACE AT LAST. Remarkable Vicissitudes Undergtne by Stiined Glass Window. The east window at St. Margaret's, Westminste -, England, wandered about for n ore than 200 years before reaching it: present position, and was the subject of seven years’ lawsuit. Henry VII. for whom !t was intended, died before the window arrived from Dordrecht ind it came into the pos- session firs! of the abbot of Waltham and then o General Monk. Stained glass was tnathema in Puritan days, so the win ow was buried until the Restoration, when {t was brought to light. Refus+d by Wadham college it was bought ‘or fifty guineas and erect- ed in a private house and years later was bought for 400 guineas by the committee harged with the restora- tion of St. Margaret’s, and placed in position in ‘he church. The lawsuit to which wo bave referred was brought by the registrar to the dean and chapter on the ground that the win- dow contai: ed superstitious images, but after si ven years’ wrangling the church warc ens proved victorious and the beautifu' window was suffered to remain undi ‘turbed.

Colored Preacher's Experience Had Taught Him to Prefer Cash. A northern minister, who was spending the winter in the south for the benefit of his health and at the same time pursuing with accustomed vigor the work of his church among the whites of the Piedmont section of upper Carolina, devoted much of his spare time to the study of conditions among the colored people. It was in a prosperous rural community, where the two races are about numerically equal, that this incident occurred. One morning while driving along the public road the minister met a negro preacher of the neighborhood, of whom he had seen but little, but whose confidence he had apparently already won. The negro was what is commonly called a "locus" preacher. The conversation, at first varied with comments upon the little things of common interest, naturally drifted to the subject of religion. "Now, tell me something of your work," asked the minister. "Do you take notes for your sermons?" "Wa-al, no," admitted the brother in black cautiously. "I useter be guilty of dat, fo' a fact, but I'se refawmed by 'sperience. Since I come to know dese niggers at dere rale wuth, I 'quires de cash. Notes is no good roun' heah."—Baltimore American. MARK TWAIN AS A FINANCIER. Humorist Earned $3 in Transaction, and Then Was Bunkoed. Mark Twain blossomed out with a new dog's tale at the weekly banquet of the Pleiades club at the Lafayette Brevoort. The theme of the humorist was: "How It Pays to Be Honest—When It Doesn't Hurt Yourself." He said he was starving with a chap named Davis, in Washington, in the latter '60s, and Davis told Twain to go out and rummage for $3 for Scotch whisky, while he'd stay home. Twain said he walked into a hotel and came on the prettiest dog he had ever seen in the lobby. Gen. Nelson A. Miles came in with three months' salary. Miles saw Twain fondling the dog, and offered Twain $10 for the animal. "I haven't any right to sell this dog for $10," answered the humorist, "but if you'll give me $3 you can take the pup away." Miles paid the $3 and took it away. The real owner rushed in. "I'll find your dog for $3," said Twain. The owner agreed. Twain walked upstairs, told Miles the situation, and got the dog back by paying $3, then received $3 for restoring it to the owner. He took three quarts back home to Davis, who drank it all and ignored Twain.—New York Sun. Tinfoil 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.

The late Townsend Percy, speculator and promoter, who made and lost more than one fortune in the course of his life, used to be fond of repeating some of his mother's witticisms at his expense, generally brought about by his extravagances during his periods of prosperity. Once Percy had driven four-in-hand for a year, when an unfortunate "deal" made it necessary for him to reduce expenditures and sell his horses, on which occasion she said to him: "Townsend, don't you think that it would be better to drive one horse four years, instead of four horses one year?" Another time, when on the verge of financial crash, Percy still owned a considerable stable, and gave no outward sign of pecuniary embarrassment. His mother met an old friend of the family about this period, who congratulated her on her son's success in life. "I am glad that Townsend is doing so well," said the friend. "Yes, indeed," remarked the old lady. "Townsend has six horses and seven carriages and eight dollars." Harper's Weekly. TREASURES IN LONDON BANKS. Sultan of Morocco Has $5,000,000 Worth of Jewels There. Abdul-Aziz, sultan of Morocco, is taking no chances of losing his personal jewelry in the course of one of the frequently recurring disturbances in his country. Locked up in the vaults of a bank near Charing Cross, London, the jewels, valued at $5,000,000, are guarded night and day. They occupy a space less than the size of a bushel basket and lie about thirty feet below the level of the Strand. Not far away, in the same vault, are several million pounds' worth of unclaimed jewelry, some of which was deposited there during the French revolution. French people, fearful of being robbed in the reign of terror, secretly conveyed their possessions to London and a vast quantity has been left uncalled for. The bank authorities have failed in every effort to locate the original owners' heirs. An offer of $1,250,000 as a loan on the sultan's jewelry has been made, but the sultan is anxious to raise much more than that. Aprina Indian library is an interesting one. An Arizona judge, who has been studying this tribe, says that they select several promising youths of their tribe from time to time for living libraries of their traditions, and they are carefully instructed in the historical legends pertaining to their tribe, being required to commit them faithfully to memory. They in turn instruct their successors, and thus preserve the traditions in the exact language recited by their ancestors of many years ago. More Practical. "Did you hear that the professor had succeeded in squaring the circle?" "No, I didn't; but if he would figure a while longer and tell a man how to square his wife when he comes home at two a. m. I think he would have a more appreciative audience." —Nashville American. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. What's Geography Good For? This is from the philosophy of Mrs. Louisa Schmitt, who berated a teacher for not promoting her daughter because the latter was deficient in geography. "Teacher, you don't know it all, I guess," said the irate Mrs. Schmitt. "I wish it that my daughter gets through school so she gets a man. Never mind about the geography; just promote her without it. Why, my other daughter, she didn't know geography and she got a man. And you know all about geography and you ain't got any man at all. What is this geography good for?

TATE RETAURANT 1225 19th St. Regular Dinner 15c Clean New and Neat PAGE 2 Lines in Memory of Rev. Spotswood Rice, Who Departed This Life October 31, 1907, at 11:10 A. M. (By Rev. J. W. Sanders.) 1. He was always cheery, this man of ours, He was sturdy and kind and true, A man who was gifted with massive powers, Whose friendship was like heaven's blue. His life was unsullied by vice or crime, His love was as broad as mankind And always he sought to redeem the time, Born in a day when men were misled, Some held and shackled their brothers, Who served as chattel till they were dead, Their lives were given to others. 4. He stood in manhood a leader of men, His race to enlighten and save, He held to his purpose now as then Till he went down to his lone grave. 5. As foreman in the dark, dark days, He tried to help and save his men, To lead them out of slippery ways, Till on manhood he could depend. 6. Then in the dark days of mortal strife He shouldered gun and marched away, He bared his bosom-offered his life, The debt for our freedom to pay. He heard the thunder shot and shell, The groans of the wounded and dy ing, He thought of Him who in the gospel Wiped tears from hearts that were crying. With light of freedom through the land, Soldiers came home shouting glory, With gospel preachers he took his stand To herald the wonderful story. Toiling in vineyard year by year, His mark for the Master to make, It's true he often shed a tear, His mead of life's sorrows to take 10. He's noble, grand and inspiring, Hs heart beat right truer than steel His life one of holy daring, Filled with a true Christian zeal. 11. On his like I've often pondered, As he stands out in life serene. A lofty mountain peak whose head Above storm, rain and clouds are seen. Snow-capped, majestic, unwavering, Glittering, eternal and white, He's gone where there is no dying, Where our God himself is the light 13 When journeying eighty-eight long years The great Spirit spoke to him then, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD You have traveled through both blood and tears He looked lp and saw him great Cap tain, As he beckoned him on to his crown, He said, "I know that death is gain, And I will lay my burden down." 15. If spirits are given to hover Over friends and loved ones below, He would strive to have us discover What Heaven would on us bestow. 16. The angels they hover about you, The city is burnished with gold. The great white throne is open to view And joys that can never be told. 17. The tree of life waits you and me, In beauty and grandeur it stands, The leaves upon that wondrous tree Are healing in that blessed land. 18. On, then, ye who fight for the Master Gird on your armor of light; On, then, nor draw back nor falter, Yon Heaven is heaving in sight. Book Friendship. I never come into a library (saith Heinsius) but I bolt the door to me, excluding lust, ambition, avarice and all such vices, whose nurse is idleness, the mother of ignorance and melancholy herself, and in the very lap of eternity, among so many divine souls, I take my seat with so lofty a spirit and sweet content that I pity all our great ones and rich men that know not their happiness.—Robert Burton. Early Croziers. The earliest mention that is so far disclosed of the use of a crozier is of one carried by Ataldus, archbishop of Reims, who died A. D. 933. An ancient Saxon or Norman font in Winchester cathedral has a very old representation of a bishop with a crozier, probably the earliest example to be found in England. A crozier of rude shape is cut on the tomb of Bartholomew, bishop of Exeter from 1161 to 1184. Wood Craft. The year 1907 was notable for the progress of prohibition legislation, not only in the United States but the world around. This was the year of the Chinese imperial edict against opium. Prohibition made great strides in the south, reclaiming the states of Georgia and Alabama and winning a hundred counties of Kentucky. Oklahoma entered the union with a law forbidding the manufacture and sale of intoxicants. Two of the three counties of Delaware went "dry" at the November election. The bishops' excise law was a leading issue in the New Jersey campaign. Chicago added a square mile to its prohibition territory. Princeton's total receipts during 1907 were $592,037.75 and her total disbursements $563,910.64. With last year's balance of $38,710.26 and gifts of cash, real estate, bonds, etc., for the endowment, amounting to $795,735.83, the net balance to the university for the year is $862,573.19. Princeton is evidently doing a profitable business.

Woman's Increased Height Makes Her Superior to Man. I wonder if the love ideals of womanhood 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 common 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 present year of grace she prefers to be sovereign herself, and to have a prime minister who is useful and subordinate. Can this change be in any way due to the superior inches of the modern woman? A difference must inevitably 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 her 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. Honestly, I felt sorry for him, but realized that my pity was wasted. One could see he exulted in his wife's magnificent appearance and his own subjection.—Black and White, London. GOOD THING TO LEAVE ALONE. Physicians Advice to Those Who Are Fond of Mushrooms. It may be possible that when all the boys are dead they will quit eating toadstools and dying in spasms therefrom. The edible and poisonous varieties of these fungi are too close together in general 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 it is a toadstool; if it agrees with you it is a mushroom. Some years ago the department of agriculture at Washington issued an elaborate 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 officials did some tall hustling in an effort to call in the issue. A well-known physician said 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. Porpoises In New York Harbor. New York harbor was treated to a strange visitation one night recently. A school of porpoises, numbering as many as 100, and headed by a venerable patriarch in gray whiskers, swam in, took a leisurely survey of their surroundings and then returned to the open, something for which the oldest inhabitant could recall no precedent, says the Boston Transcript. The visitors came in through the new Ambrose deep water channel. Perhaps they assumed that it had been prepared expressly for their accommodation. At any rate, they seemed to approve of it. This phenomenon occurred on the night which a soothsayer had appointed for the submergence of THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. State of Colorado, Insurance Department.

The other guests enjoying her hospitality were Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Jackson and Mesdames Lytle, Abernathy and Nelson. The Triangle Club gave the Easter social event in their Easter ball. The attendance was over 500, and all danced and socialized to their hearts' content. The Committee in charge, H. Hinkle, J. W. Taylor and J. F.

Before returning they will visit her husband's folks in Clumbus and Akron, Ohio. At the birthday party last Friday evening, given by Mrs. T. D. Perkins, there were some mysterious things. First of all, she kept her age a secret, and second, she surprised all her guests by conducting a bargain counter, from which she supplied all comers with gifts, free, gratis and for nothing. The nature of the presents was enough to insure all a jolly good time, being cleverly done take-offs on life. She was given many useful and beautiful presents in return.

Natures miled upon mankind Sunday in giving praise to the risen Lord. Birds of Spring sang their joyous music, flowers burst forth in their gayest hue, while the church-goers lifted up their hearts in worship and rejoicing. The pastors of Scott M. E., Central Baptist, Campbell Chapel and People's Presbyterian chlrches preached eloquent and powerful sermons directing their congregations to the religious significance of the great Easter festival. In all the churches special music was prepared and rendered by the Sunday schools and choirs. Many of the choirs were augmented and musical instruments used to add greater beauty to the service. As the Resurrection morn ushered in with glad songs of birds amid blossoms, as the main and side altars of the pulpit of Zion Baptist church were banked with lilies and palms and with a white and blue color scheme followed throughout, the congregation were awe stricken at the beautiful decorations and were intensely reverent at the sacredness of the occasion. All the decorations radiated from the center to the corners, sides and rear and met just above the inscription "He is risen," in gilded suspended letters. Birds sang their songs and varigated flowers at each window gave forth their fragrance as Rev. A. E. Reynolds delivered a most masterful sermon. It seemed that the choir felt each word sung which lent new inspiration to saint and sinner and caused each person who left the church to silently say, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow" for the priceless gift of His Son. At Zion Baptist church Easter was a day of Christian triumph. MOVING PICTURES AT SHORTER. It would be a great piece of negligence on our part if we failed to call attention of the public to the moving pictures which were given last Thursday night under the direction of T. W. Wait. The most impressive scenes were upon the life of Christ, which every Sunday school student, every Bible reader present enjoyed and were vividly impressed with the unknowable conditions and vexing suffering inflicted upon our Christ. A better kind and a higher class of entertainment could not have been planned. Judging from the scarcity of the numbers, it is safe to say that the majority of the members truly missed an invaluable treat of history of high spiritual discernment and religious knowledge. We congratulate Mr. Wait for his rare taste of selection, and hope he will soon repeat the same for the benefit of more people. GUNNISON, COLO., NEWS. Miss Agnes Clark is indisposed this week. Mr. J. J. Bates of Denver was in our city Thursday. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. We are in hopes that they will build a church soon. Mrs. Mack Wright, who was on the sick list last week, is better. Mr. Richard Bryan made a trip to Kellogg's sawmill Saturday. The Ladies' Club meets every Thursday and it is doing a great work. The Misses Irene and Ora Kan are on the sick list this week. Mr. George William of Pitkin was in our city last week attending court. Mr. W. B. Bryan is on the sick list this week, but at this writing is somewhat improved. Miss Lila Bryan has been absent from school the past week owing to sickness. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan entertained Mr. George Williams of Pitkin at supper Wednesday. Miss Octavia Riley has been suffering for some weeks with eczema of her hands. Mr. F. D. Young bought three building lots in Alamosa. We don't know what he intends to do later on. Mr. J. D. Baker of Salida was in Mr. G. W. Smith's place for a few days last week, running from Salida to Ouray as porter on a parlor car. Mrs. Read is having a hard time with the rheumatism. It seems to keep her in bed and has for some time. I hope that she will wear it out. Young Bertie courted pretty Ann, and asked her for his wife. Said she: "I love no other man, so will be yours for life!" Then gently round her taper waist his arm in rapture went, and on those ruby lips so chaste the first long kisses spent. "What is it?" cried he in joy, "that draws this heart to mine? What makes those cheeks so bright and coy, those eyes like stars to shine? What is it proves the world so fair when thy sweet form is nigh—that permeates the ambient air, the trees, the flowers, the sky? Oh, say, what is it that enthralls the kiss I hold so dear?" She gently on his bosom falls. "It's onions, love. I fear!"—Answers. A Plot! "I have a great idea," said the amateur conspirator. "What is it?" asked the willing listener. "We will say no more about protecting trees." "Yes?" A Plot! "On the contrary, we will encourage their destruction in every possible manner." "Yes?" "In time we shall see our hillsides, our parks and our avenues turned to barren wastes." "And then?" "Then we will organize a parasol trust." 1910 CLU The Leads We are the public 2057½ La hair good all kinds, have a fur latest Par nets of all Miss G. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO.

One of the Troubles That Beset Honest Man in Politics. I knew that a certain alderman in a certain town on Long Island was bitterly opposed to granting a franchise to an electric line, and soon after I heard that the franchise had been granted and that he had voted for it, I met him on the train and said: "Then you changed your mind about that franchise?" Yes, I had to," he replied. "Any particular influence brought to bear?" "Yes. My wife persuaded me into it." "And who persuaded you wife?" "Her brother." "And was he persuaded?" "Yes, a lawyer persuaded him." "And the lawyer?" "Well, I reckon it was the president of the company that persuaded him. I stood out and stood out, but the persuasion was too great." "I have been told on good authority," I continued after a bit, "that the company gave the lawyer $1,500 to persuade with." "You don't mean it!" gasped the alderman. "But I do. Yes, sir, an even $1,500." "Then he's a durned skunk and ought to be shown up. He persuaded the whole family of us for $350 and put the rest in his pocket! That's what a man gets for being honest!"—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. DID SERVICE AT BUNKER HILL. Maine Man Owns Musket That Was Used In Historic Conflict. Alonzo Smith of Skowhegan, Me., has an old gun, which was used in the battle of Bunker Hill, 131 years ago. Many who fought on the American side on the 17th of June afterward went to Maine to settle, among them Billy Smith, a private in the Second New Hampshire regiment. Mr. Smith, the great-grandfather of Alonzo Smith of Skowhegan, settled in Cornville in 1790, and his grave is in the orchard on a farm near where his grandson, Clark E. Smith, now lives. The musket which Billy Smith carried at Bunker Hill was among his effects brought to Cornville, and on his death passed into the hands of his son, David, and was by him bequeathed to his grandson, Sylvester Smith. A few years ago, when Sylvester left for the west, he gave the famous old musket to Sylvester Smith of Skodhegan, who now treasures it as a family heirloom. One remark made by Billy Smith in relating his experiences at Bunker Hill has been handed down to his descendants, to the effect that he felt some repugnance at first in shooting at the redcoats as they came up the slope, but after the first few shots he could as easily take aim at a British officer as he could at a partridge. The gun itself is in working order, barring the loss of the flint, and could be easily re-equipped for actual use. A Diamond In the Dark. 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. CLUB" n Ave. d Pool... m Mgr. Denver, Colo A. B.

DO IT NOW LEST YOU FORGET. --- FOR REPUBLICANNS WE HAVE CONFIDENCE, FOR DEMOCRATS WE HAVE TOLERANCE, BUT FOR POLITICAL SANDBAGGERS WE HAVE ONLY CONTEMPT. This is a Republican paper, the only colored Republican paper published in Denver. It believes in the destiny of the Republican party and in its superiority over the Democratic party. It is not blind to the faults in the party, but believes that with them all it is superior to the opposition, and we are content to labor within the party for its betterment. We pity the so-called independent who wanders around aimlessly, taking what the old parties chose to offer. Wtihin the limits of party loyalty we are striving to be something and do something, and not standing around waiting for things to happen. As for the Democrats, there are many of them who are nice gentlemen, but the error in their judgment on the policies making for the greatness and prosperity of the country and the betterment of its citizens, makes them dangerous to intrust with power.

Com., G. S. CONTEE, Sec. NOTICE 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 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 advancing on Chaos and the Dark.—Emerson. Election of Republican City Ticket of Importance to Negroes Editor Statesman:— Some people think the National election for the presidency is the only one in which they should be interested. They make a mistake. Our most vital concern is in our local conditions. Where we live and make our living should claim our first and best attention. The kind of employment opened to us, the men with whom we compete in the labor market, the amount of wages we receive, the kind of houses we can rent and what rent we must pay, are the things that should occupy the first consideration in our thoughts. The election of the Republican ticket for city officials May 19, comes home to every colored man, woman and child in Denver. We live here; we are a part of this community. Its prosperity touches us; we are the first to feel any "hard times," and it behooves us to look out for our own future. On May 19 will we cast our vote for Horace Phelps, the Republican, or for Robert Speer, the Democrat? Already I have heard some of our people singing the praises of Speer. They say he is for the improvement of our boulevards, streets and parks. Everybody wants a beautiful city, but who wants to be taxed to death? These improvements must be paid for and the taxpayer is burdened down already with the Speer taxes and the Speer improvement assessments. I know at least a dozen colored persons in Denver who have been compelled to place mortgages on their little homes so as to pay the Speer taxes and assessments, or lose their homes. I know one woman who owned three lots, and because the assessments were so high she was forced to sell at a sacrifice, and these same Speer Democrats refused to sell her any more property in her neighborhood, because she is colored and they don't propose to have "niggers" as their neighbors. Mr. Phelps favors improvements, but not so fast, so furious and so great as to burden the small taxpayers. Let me ask how many colored men did Mr. Speer put to work on these great improvements? He has taxed the life out of us to buy parks and public playgrounds; how many colored men do you see working in our parks and playgrounds? And Speer has been mayor four years, too. Some people who do not pay taxes are for Speer because they think the taxes and assessments do not reach them. They fool themselves. Any sensible person knows that the owner of houses pays the taxes and raises his rents on his tenants in order to get the money. High taxes and assessments make high rents, and no class of people in Denver pays higher rents for poorer houses than we do. If colored people desire to pay increased rents for inferior houses, let them vote for Speer and more improvement assessments. If this money came back to us in the shape of wages there might be a shadow of reason to yell for Speer, but he does not employ us, neither do the contractors who are growing fat on our taxes. No one objects to a beautiful city, but why not exercise some sense in the matter? Why not do like other cities and make the improvements gradually? The famous cities of the world have been making improvements for centuries, and their citizens are not impoverished by them. Every business man knows that the best way to get possession of an enterprise in which there are severa owners is to "freeze out" the small one, and that is just the thing that the prejudiced real estate agents and Speer are doing to the colored people in Denver, and we are such "suckers" that we do not realize it. The Republicans will beautify the city, and at the same time, will do it in a sane, considerate and reasonable way. We want a chance to work in the parks, the public playgrounds, the public works, and the Republicans will give us the chance. We want to get out of debt and not be driven deeper into debts and under mortgages by the crazy cry of 'improvements." Give us time to catch up and the Republicans have pledged themselves to do it. P. E. SPRATLIN. CONDOLENCE. Whereas, It has pleased the Almighty God to remove from our midst Sister Maggie Hall of Queen of the West Temple No.1, S. M. T., and Whereas, We, her sisters, feel deeply grieved, yet we know that God doeth all things for the best. Sister Maggie Hall was a good and faithful member, always ready to perform her duty when called upon. She was loved and esteemed by all who knew her. Whereas, From intimate relation was long held by our deceased sister with Queen of the West Temple No. 1, we deem it proper that we should place on record our appreciation of her services as a member; therefore, be it Resolved, That in the death of Sister Hall the order has lost an honest and upright woman; therefore, let me say to her daughter, Mrs. Eugene Dawson: "You have lost your mother. There is a very wall in the words. She can never be replaced. She has passed away to better land. Cheered by the knowledge of your love and consoled by the thought that her teachings, when you were a little girl at her knee, has not been in vain, and that she leaves behind her for a little while a daughter who treads the path of rectitude and honor." Therefore, be it Resolved, That the members of Queen of the West Temple No. 1 tender our heartfelt sympathy to her daughter and friends. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the daughter of our deceased sister and entered in our local paper and spread upon the minutes of our order. Yes, Sister Hall has gone, But not forgotten, never; Shall her memory fade, Sweet thoughts shall ever Linger around the grave Where she is laid. In silence she suffered, In patience she bore, Till God called her home To suffer no more. F. WALTON, Chairman, CECELIA WASHINGTON, MARY EVANS. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. Thoughtful, Fair-Minded Negroes Begin to Approve of Taft is only calculated to prevent his nomination. He will be nominated and when nominated will, I feel certain, receive our votes." At Chicago a large party of leading colored citizens called upon Secretary Taft in his apartments at the Auditorium Annex and were accorded a welcome by him. Though he was almost constantly busy with banquets, receptions and conferences there, he told them he was glad to give them some of his time. He was frank with them. "The truth is," he told them, "the race question has occupied me ever since I was a little boy. My father felt very deeply on the subject and I was brought up with views which in the South would be considered radical. When I went to the Philippines similar questions arose. The question of the proper settlement of race differences and prejudices is one that I have had a great deal of interest in. I have always sympathized with the race which has been more unfortunate in its controversy with that race which has assumed to be superior, and in many cases assumed a position entirely unjustifiable in Christian brotherhood. "The progress that the colored race is making furnishes ground for encouragement that I think we will have a right to feel. As they demonstrate their value to themselves and to the whole community they earn a position which is accorded to them not because of sympathy with them. It is not sympathy but justice that you want. When you compete a respect and appreciation of your value as citizens, then you will get justice. The only course you can take to bring about proper respect between the races is to make it to the interests of the white race to accord to the colored race that position it is entitled to have." Rev. A. J. Cary of Chicago, one of the party of colored men, informed Mr. Taft that the impression had gone abroad that he was in sympathy with the disfranchisement of the colored people in the South. "Not in the slightest," responded Secretary Taft. "My position is this, that the Southern men are obliged to keep within the constitution, and if they choose to do so, under the Federal constitution they have the right to impose an educational or property qualification. Therefore, neither the colored nor white race in the North has a right to complain, provided the law which is imposed shall be equally enforced against both races. That is my position." "We do Cary, "and man for t deavor to course, it "Of cour Taft. "I h WASHINGTON, April 20, 1908.—An impression, studiously created in the East, that Secretary Taft is opposed to the interests of the colored people of the country and that the colored people as a whole are opposed to him has been largely dispelled as a result of his trip, during the first two weeks in April, through the Middle West, where he was acclaimed as "our next President." On that trip he met and conferred with many of the leading colored citizens of the section of the country through which he traveled. They were not loath to ask him questions concerning his attitude toward them and he was quick to respond in a way that appeared to be entirely satisfactory to them. He assured them that he was not in favor of their disfranchisement in the South, that he had been interested in their problems from their youth and that he sympathized with the highest ideals of their race. At Louisville several hundred of them joined in the welcome extended to him by thousands of citizens of that city April 10. They filled the galleries at the theater in which he delivered an address. They applauded him again and again when he argued that the "grandfather" clause in the franchise law of the Southern states were unconstitutional and that such laws, if enforced at all, should be enforced as strictly against the whites as against the blacks. He made no reference to the race question in his addresses in the North, where that question is less vital, but to the representative Southern audience at Louisville he dilated at length upon the wonderful progress in the acquirement of education and property by the great mass of colored people in the United States since the Civil War. Not the least of the ovation given him at the conclusion of his speech was by the thousand or more colored voters who were present. "Why should we be opposed to the nomination and election of Mr. Taft?" said one of the more prominent of the one who listens to him could believe that he would be opposed to one class of citizens in this country as against another. We believe that all citizens should be treated alike under the law, whether they are rich or poor, white or black. Shall we forget that all that has been done for us during the past forty-five years was made possible by the Republican party? Would any colored man be so ungrateful as to bolt Mr. Taft, who will undoubtedly be nominated at Chicago, and vote for the candidate of a party that openly declares it is a "white man's party," and would see that we get nothing if it were placed in power? Secretary Taft is a fair man and will see that the colored man gets what he deserves. We are not fooled by misrepresentation of his attitude toward us, which DU. 't object to that," said Mr. we are ready to support any Presidency who will ensee that this is done. Of s not done." se it is not," continued Mr. ave said so before and will reiterate it now. If you will read my speeches you will see. Of course, if you take a part of a speech and leave out two or three sentences, as some of the gentlemen who have not been quite as willing to bring out the truth as they might have done, in circulating parts of my speeches my attitude may be misunderstood. If you will refer to my speeches at Brooklyn, Tuskegee and Greensboro you will see that this is my position. I don't want to criticise the white citizens of the South so long as they remain within the constitution, but in applying that rule they have no right to make the slightest discrimination with the respect to the ignorance of the white man as compared with the ignorance of the colred man, for they both have to be excluded on the same ground. When they do tht you have no right to complain. I don't think you will find that I am in the slightest degree lacking in accord with you on that subject." The members of the delegation nodded their assent and the Secretary continued: "The truth is that they are most anxious to get within the law who realize that a continuance of fraud and violence in the disfranchisement of colored voters, where white voters ought equally to be disfranchised, saps the moral foundation of the moral young white men. They cannot be dishonest in one thing and have the moral virus creep into their veins in everything else. I believe they are coming to the point where the law will be enforced equally against both and where the colored men, who have property or education, will be given all the rights they are entitled to under the law that is constitutional. These grandfather clauses are not constitutional, in my judgment. "Then again, a law may seem to be legal on its face and be enforced by an election officer in such a way that when a colored man comes up he will put a lot of questions to him about the constitution that no man can answer, and then when a white man comes up just have him read a sentence. I don't mean thta kind of a law. I mean a law so framed that when it is executed it will apply equally to both races. "I have talked with a good many Southern men. Bishop Galloway, in Mississippi, is a man who appreciates the injustice done to your race and the necessity for changing conditions in the South in that regard. When I was a judge on the bench I came into contact with a great many people and I believe that a better feeling toward your race among the white men in the South is growing, and that more and more they are in favor of an equal application of the law. When that is done—and that is what I understand the negro has been seeking—he will be given an opportunity to make himself valuable under any rule of franchise that applies equally to both races." "We are satisfied and are with you," said several of the prominent colored men as they shook Mr. Taft's hand warmly and filed away.
