...MME. AZALIA HACKLEY... Zion Baptist Church Monday June 1st GRAND MILITARY BALL: East Turner Hall Thursday June 11th FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY MAY 30, 1908 CLOSING OF THE LITERARY With every chair filled, every available seat taken, the last meeting before the annual vacation of the Eureka Literary was witnessed by an eager mass of humanity, anxious to hear the excellent program of artists. For special comment of every particular feature the program would be unnecessary and futile because the public already knows Madame E. L. Faulkner, who gives the history of the author and the piece before she manipulates. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook's paper was up to his already achieved standard. Mrs. Lillian Jones' solo only bespeaks of the excellence with which she sings with the Azalia Hackley Choral Society, and merely to mention the names of Mrs. Jessie Nickens-Reese, Denver's wonderful vaudeville producer, and the Misses Beatrice Thrashley, Eva Carter, Virgie and Lela Webster and Jessie Andrews, demonstrate the high class to which the program was lifted by their presence. The literary has found a place in this community and the work that she is doing only reflects greater credit on its organizer, Rev. W. W. S. Dyett, now of Omaha. The high standard she is maintaining will ever be an incentive for her to go ever onward and upward. The Statesman congratulates the administration, all the officers, committees, members, etc., for the business-like and social progress made in this half year. May she ever continue. To Curtis Harris belongs the credit for arranging this, the best program ever presented to the literary. At the close there was a gift of three valuable prizes through the sale of ice cream tickets. THE WHITE TENT AND GREEN And its honor lay bleeding, with fast ebbing life. Who came to its rescue and said" "We can die. But the flag of our country must wave from on high?" DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY MAY 30 1908 Twas an army of boys whose white tents were seen All over the land, but now they are green. They left happy homes where their wants were supplied. They left friends and kindred and fair Cupid's side; They left the old plow-share to rust in the field And went forth to answer their country's appeal. Yes, they rushed with their musket, knapsack-and canteen, Their tens were then white, but now they are green. From the mountains, the plains and the valleys they came, And throughout the Southland enkindled a flame Which ceased not its burning 'till vict'ry was won And the song of Reunion and Freedom was sung. By the light of that flame their white tents were seen. But now overhead is a carpet of green. Those heroes who sank neath the war demon's tread And who are now sleeping the sleep of the dead. Must not be forgotten; the flowers of May Should deck their lone tents on Memorial Day. Mid the bursting of shell and the cannon's red gleam Their houses were white, but now they are green. Not alone to the dead must our kind deeds unfold. But alike to the living.—the boys now grown old; They stood midst the strife and 'tis only God's will That keeps them from resting out there on the hill. They are standing on picket, majestic, serene. One foot in the white tent and one in the green. WARNING TO THE PUBLIC AGAINST DECEPTION We, Rice Lodge No. 39, I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, are proud to say to you that the so-called injunction of one W. A. Rice against our noble band of true-hearted Elks, was a failure in Division 4 of the District court, on Monday, May 25th. The court ruled that Mr. Rice had no case and instructed the clerk of the court to strike it from the trial calendar, so do not be misled by any of Mr. Rice'scircars, or other papers, he has been, or is, handing around among you and misrepresenting our noble order. ...

Prop.. 911 Elighteenth street SAW NO CHANCE FOR FRIEND Aspiring Politician Got Cold Comfort from Darky He Had Asked to Support Him. A well known southern politician, now an element of strength in the councils of his party, in the early days of his political career invariably met defeat at the polls. On one occasion he was conducting a house to house canvass in the interest of his candidacy for a state office. Among those interviewed was an old darky who had formerly been in the employ of the aspiring politician. "I am thinking of running for a place on the state ticket, Mose," said the politician, "and I want you to help me out." After a moment's thoughtful hesitation, the darky replied: "All right, Marse Dick; but I wants to ax yo' one leadin' question befo' I commits myself." "Well, what is it?" "How much is yo' gwine to give me when you gits beat?"—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. WEBSTER'S HOME SQUADRON. Speaking of the Navy: A few days before his death Daniel Webster wished to leave his sick room once more to look upon the little paradise which his taste had adorned about his mansion. Dressing himself with the utmost care, he went through the house on the arm of a servant and finally reached the library. The night before there was a terrific storm and the great statesman expressed solicitude for the safety of the fishermen off the coast. As he looked from the window his eye fell upon a number of pleasure boats which had been moored to a little mound in the artificial pond in the rear of the house. "Well," said he, "the Home Squadron is safe; I think I will go back." It was his last playful remark. He never left his room again. Lost to Us by Incredulity.

J. H. Hub- bard, P. E., in the chair. After the devotional exercise the presiding elder preached the annual sermon, which was followed by the administering of the ‘Lord’s Supper by the presiding elder and Rey. B. F. Mc- Cully and Rev. W. T. Osborn. The sermon was logical, forceful and full of doctrinal truths. Mrs. W. T. Osborn was elected see- retary, Mrs. Walker, assistant, and Mrs. J. W. Robinson, treasurer. A few papers were read and dis- cussed by the delegates and congrega- tion, which proved to be a benefit to those present. Wednesday evening Rev, W. T. Os- born of Helena preached an able ser- mon. The congregation was made to say, “Didn't our hearts burn while he explained the word!” The welcome address was delivered by Rev. E. D. Abbott. J. W. Robinson and Mr. W. T. Daniel, Rey. B. F. McCully and Rey. W. T. Osborn responded to the wel- come address. Thursday evening the people gath- ered from all parts of the city to en- joy the grand reception given in honor of the delegates. A program was ren- dered and the following-named_per- sons were the participants: Mrs. W. T. Osborn, V. M. Bigzee, Omer Con- nell, Rey. C. D. Crouch of the M. E. church of Great Falls and Rey. W. T. Osborn of Helena, Rey. E. D, Abbott master of ceremonies and Mr. J. M McCracken, Miss Cecelia Knott. The people of Great Falls used every means possible to make it pleas- ant for the delegates and so deeply impressed were the people with said gathering and so determined to prove their interest in the delegates’ happi- ness that three times the whole dele- gation was invited out for refresh- ments. On one occasion each dele- gate was presented with a beautiful souvenir, the compliments of Mrs. M. J. Smith and Mrs. D, A. Knott. The work of this conyention will live on for ages and unborn genera- tions will rise up and call the people of this gathering blessed. One re- markable feature of this convention was that the very man who first piant ed African Methodism in the state of Montana has the pleasure as well as the honor of being its first president and that person is that old hero, pul- pit preacher, Christian gentleman and theologian, Rey.

McClaughry Tells of Hard Work He Had to Convince Man That Stolen Funds Should Be Returned "It's queer what notions some people get into their heads," Maj. R. W. McClaughry, warden of the United States penitentiary at Leavenworth, said in Kansas City, Kan. "Some folks simply can't distinguish between the right and the wrong." Maj. McClaughry told a story of a man who was sent to a penitentiary for ten years for robbing a bank of $10,000. He had reached through the wicket at the teller's station, snatched a pile of bills, escaped from the bank and had hid the money before he was arrested. "Well, sir, he was a model prisoner," Maj. McClaughry said. "He behaved so well that everybody about the penitentiary liked him, and by such conduct he succeeded in obtaining enough credit marks to reduce his time of imprisonment from ten years to six years and nine months. A day or two before his release he requested an interview with me. "Warden,' he said, 'I want to ask your advice about a little matter. You know I'm to leave this place in a few hours. I am going into business of some kind and I shall want a partner. Now, in what business would you advise me to enter—for you know I want to make an honest living and be a good citizen.' "I asked him what kind of a partner he desired and how much money he could put in as his share. "Oh, anywhere from $1,000 to $10,-000,' he answered. "'Where did you get that much money?' I asked, in greater surprise. "'Oh, the bank money—the $10,000 I stole,' he exclaimed. "'Why, man, that isn't your money,' I told him. "'Not my money!' he cried, 'haven't I earned it by hard work in this prison on these many years?' "And do you know," Maj. McClaughry said, "that it was one of the hardest things I ever undertook in all my life to make that man see that he was wrong—that the stolen money was still the property of the bank, not his, and that the time he served in prison was only punishment for violating the laws made for the protection of people's property. But he did see it in the right light at last. He turned every dollar of the money over to the bank, was generously rewarded by the man who had sent him to prison, and has since been a useful and honorable citizen." Explained to the Rector. St. Thomas' Episcopal church in Fifth avenue has under its jurisdiction an East side chapel, says the New York Sun. One of the features of the chapel is a gymnasium, in which boys are trained in all the branches of physical culture. Some of the boys are quicker in this sort of training than they are in the more polite talk of the West side boys. The rector of St. Thomas', Rev. Dr. Stires, visits the chapel frequently, and is fond of talking with the lads about their work. He said to one little fellow who hails from near the East river: THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. "Well, my son, they tell me you won quite a victory in your last contest with the boys of a rival school." "I don't know 'bout that, but w'en we went up ag'in dat bunch from St. Pat's we put it all over 'em, and dey ain't never peeped since." The rector patted him on the head and said: "My boy, you're all right." "Dat's what I'm here for," was the quick reply. Germany to Have New Coin. Germany will soon have a new coin of the value of a quarter mark or six cents. In order to distinguish the new piece readily from the 20-pfennig coin now in use, the government has asked for designs with a perforation. The Welt Spiegel published the pictures of perforated coins which were recently made in England for circulation in an East African English colony, and a humorist in a Hamburg paper says: "Give us the coins with holes in them by all means. We can string them like beads and tie-them up and hold them, a process which seems to be beyond accomplishment with the modern slippery coins and bills." Exemplified. "The best intentions are sometimes most embarrassing," remarked the philosopher. "That's right," answered the man who applies everything to himself; "I set the alarm clock at night with the best intentions imaginable, only to be intensely annoyed by my stupidity in the morning." Too Tame. "But you can't expect this play to make a hit," protested the manager. "Why not?" asked the ambitious young dramatist. "Don't you think it has enough situations?" "Oh, yes; but the story is one that might be discussed in anybody's parlor." Not Altogether. "So your wife made a sharp retort when you took her to task, did she?" "I don't know that you could call it a sharp retort exactly." Few Hotel Keys Returned. "Well, there's the first one in a long while," said the hotel clerk, as the postman slapped down the mail on the desk. "The first what?" asked the guest. "The first key we've got back in a long time," replied the man behind the counter, as he picked up the key, with a stamp affixed to the big tag on it. "You know they take them away all the time and we have tags made with a direction printed thereon to stick on a stamp and they'll come back to us. But I guess that the percentage of returns is small. "Almost no one takes away a key with the intention of stealing it, but some folks keep them as souvenirs when once they get them home." Young Queen Is Popular. The young queen of Spain becomes more and more popular among her husband's subjects, and the fearless way in which she walks, practically unattended, about Madrid, has pleased the people immensely. Her majesty's bright coloring and beautiful golden hair are greatly admired, and she often hears praise of her charms expressed aloud in lowly Spanish fashion. Quaint exclamations, such as "Blessed be your mother," greet Queen Victoria Eu- genie wherever she goes, and, before she understood Spanish customs, she one day caused great amusement to King Alfonso by remarking, on returning to the palace after a shopping expedition: "How fond the people seem to be of mamma." Now and Then a Crook Reforms. Once a criminal, always a criminal, is not of necessity an unbreakable rule, and has had more than one exception. One of our biggest patent medicine men, gray-headed, a multimillionaire, and all that, was the "Long Jim" of the Cadiz bank robbery of 40 years ago. He escaped from the Columbus (O.) penitentiary through the intervention of a friend, who himself—for a blind—kept a liyery stable in New York, while carrying to success such crime triumphs as the Ocean bank robbery. Our reformed "Long Jim" doesn't believe that his identity is known to a living man and is in all respects a most excellent citizen.—Broadway Magazine. End of London's Private Gardens It is sad to hear that the last of the private gardens in the city of London is coming to an end. No. 4 Crosby square, with its beautiful old staircase and pleasant rooms, is to be pulled down. Ripe figs were gathered in the summer of 1893 from the fig tree on the wall, and other trees grew near the fountain in the middle of the garden. An 1850 edition of Murray's London states that the present houses in Crosby square were built in 1677. This was the year in which the Lady Mary was married to William of Orange. Manners. Manners are not like clothes. It's a bad thing to have two suits of them—one for best and one for everyday. Wear your best manners all the time. They suffer more by being put away than by constant use. If you keep your best manners for company they will fit you ill, and your visitor will suspect they were put on for him. Second best clothes may be worn at home, but not second best manners. To whom is it worth while to be courteous if not to the people you love best?—Home Chat. Argentina Railroad Construction. The railroad lines of the Argentine republic have reached the border of Bolivia, 1,200 miles from Buenos Ayres, and as the result of a treaty with Bolivia the Argentine government is making engineering studies for the prolongation of its line to be built by the Speyer-City bank syndicate of New York. In July the New York syndicate will have finished the first section of the Bolivian railway under its contract with the Bolivian government. Cheap Gas Production. Prof. Blau of Germany has discovered a new process of developing illuminating gas that may be bought by the bottle at the rate of 15 cents a pound. A 12-pound cylinder at 15 cents a pound would give a 50-candle power light for four months used four hours a day. That is to say, the cost would be 1 1-7 cents an hour, or, say, $1.25 a month, or even less.—Brooklyn Eagle. Future for Egypt. An Egyptian paper says that the native families pay an average tax of $4.65 an acre, or 28.5 per cent. of the crop. Foreigners and land companies hold 655000 acres. PAGE. 13. Rooms—31-2 Good Block.

The still beautiful woman was sobbing bitterly. "Don't take it so hard," said her sympathetic friend. "I know it must be very hard to bear, but it is something that is bound to come to each and all of us soon or late. We must make up our minds to go on, however dark the world may seem. I, too, have lost a husband. I know what it is to be crushed as you are, dear. Try to be brave." "Ah, yes, I know you have lost a husband, but you never had to bear such a blow as has come to me." "What do you mean? Do you think I didn't love my husband just as dearly as—" "No, no, not that. You never had to find out that he had been leading a double life." "Oh! Land sakes! I had no idea it was anything like that! I'm awfully sorry. You poor dear! And I always had such a high opinion of him, too! My goodness, is no man pure any more?" "He was pure enough, I think, but I have just found out that he saved up over $11,000 besides his life insurance. And he knew I wanted an automobile so much and better clothes than he ever allowed me to suppose I could afford." Nicaraguan Match Monopoly. The president of Nicaragua has issued a decree creating a government monopoly of the importation, manufacture and sale of matches and wax tapers in that republic. From January 8, 1908, all consumers must purchase these articles from government agents only. These officials are empowered to take over such stocks (at cost price) as may be in the hands of merchants, and also from individuals who, in the estimation of the official, may have a greater quantity than is deemed necessary for immediate use. The fact that these may have been in their possession one month or one year previous to that time, and regularly entered at customs and receipted for by proper officials, will not avail. All persons having such goods in their possession on January 1, 1908, must notify the government agent, or be liable to indictment as smugglers and punished as such. New Jersey's Peculiarity. An affable New York police officer who cultivated the acquaintance of the people who passed his corner regularly, says that he missed a German porter who was in the habit of stopping to speak to him every day. A few days later he reappeared and was asked where he had been. "Over in Jersey," he replied. "What part of Jersey?" "I don't know," replied the German. Funny thing 'bout them towns over in Jersey; they all have different names." Not for Him. Cyrus (entering a sixteenth-noor office of the Syndicate building, perspiring and panting)—By gum, them stairs must be sev'ral miles long! Occupant of Office—Why didn't you come up in one of those elevators there. Cyrus—Not much! I Jes' see one of 'em full o' people fall down that hole there!—The Bohemian.

His new establishment will be known as the Quality Clothes Shop and will make the strongest bid for the public’s patronage in fashionable clothes well made. He has a splendidly fitted store of the newest design for the care of his fabrics and artistically finished in keeping with the class of work to be done there. Fit has always been his watchword and his old customers as well as new may rest assured of the best at the Quality Clothes Shop. Mssionary Rally Denver, Colo., May 27, 1908. To The Statesman The missionary rally held in Payne Chapel, A. M. E. Church, on the 21st inst. was the most successful one yet held by the Missionary board. The program was announced in the papers. One thing is apparent: That is, our churches here are becoming more and more aroused on the subject of MISSIONS. It may be, and doubtless it can be accounted for in this way: We have been talking mission work stronger for the last two years than ever before for one thing, and again we have had two of the most dis- tinguished workers among our women in the whole church, which fact in it self will account for an increased in- terest on the part of our membership in this section of the country. Not that we were asleep before their com- ing, but the noble women who were zealous in the cause before have had their numbers increased. I refer to Sister Ward of Denver, and Sister Braxton of Colorado Springs, the lat- ter read an introductory paper at the rally. The exercises were spoken of in high terms by those who attended and where all did so well it would be invidious to make personal men- tion of excellence. Representing the Conference Mission Board, I am very grateful to the committee who helped and all who took part in the exercises as well as those who gave and en- couraged the work by their presence. Colorado Springs can do wonders when she tried. J. W. SANDERS, Fiscal Agent. Senators Who Had Been Governors. Of the 89 senators sworn in and serving, 22, or nearly one-fourth, have officiated as governors of their states. Ten of the 22 are Republican and 12 Democrats. The senatorial delega- tions from Arkansas, Louisiana, Ten- nessee and Vermont have been the chief executives of their respective states. Twelve are from the southern states and comprise nearly one-half of the south’s representation in the senate. Four are from the east, four from the middle west and two from the western states.

DIETING THEORIES DO GOOD At Least Have a Tendency to Keep People from Civilization's Besetting Sin, Overeating. The question of diet seems just now to be agitating the civilized world to an almost unprecedented degree. People are no longer content to eat what is set before them and lay down knife and fork when they have done. They must be discussing nutritive values, units of energy, digestive periods, proteids and carbohydrates; a chemist's balance to stand beside each plate would seem the appropriate thing, and would make a neat present for a wedding or for Christmas. Instinct is no longer trusted; it must be helped out by science. The worst of it is that science speaks as yet, on this subject, in ambiguous terms; one may find ample authority for almost any dietary one pleases. Of the more radical views that are winning adherents by the thousand the most conspicuous are those represented by Dr. Haig, Horace Fletcher and Prof. Chittenden. In some respects they reach the same results, as all three doctrines, if strictly followed, would tend to prevent overeating, which is one of the serious risks of a prosperous civilization, free to gratify its pampered appetites to the full. MURDER AMONG BEES. If the mother bee of a colony is getting past her work and she cannot be sent off with the swarm in the usual way the bees will supersede her. They will deliberately put her to death and raise another queen to take her place. This state execution of the old wornout queens is one of the most curious and pathetic things in or out of bee life. One probe with a sting would suffice in the matter, but the honey bee is a great stickler for the proprieties. The royal victim must be allowed to meet her fate in the royal way, and she is killed by caresses, tight locked in the joint embrace of the executioners until suffocation brings about the victim's death. COMPARATIVE BLISS. "Well," said Mr. Cliffdweller, as he took off his overcoat, "you look happy, my dear. What have you been doing to-day?" "Looking for a new flat," responded Mrs. C., radiantly. "And you found one that suited you?" "N-no. But I feel good because we don't have to live in any of the ones I saw." UNSATISFACTORY MODELS. He—Yes, I am proud of the fact that I am a self-made man, but isn't it queer that one never hears THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD of a self-made woman? She—No, there's nothing queer about it. Considering the quality of article turned out by the average man who is in the self-making business, a woman can hardly be blamed for not engaging in the occupation. MAKES A DIFFERENCE. A girl who used to make all sorts of fun of those who were poor spellers is now receiving three fat letters a week from a man who can't spell correctly more than 40 words altogether. But he has a big, nice house and money in the bank—and that spells something to her.—Howard (Kan.) Courant. NECESSITY FOR ACTION. Nan—I was astonished to learn that Lil Billiwink had gone and married that Spriggins boy. Why, she's a good ten years older than he is. Fan—I know it, but it had narrowed down to a choice between him and his father, and she had to decide quick. A REJECTION SLIP. "Sir," said the shivering beggar, stopping the prosperous magazine editor on the street, "I have a long, sad story—" "Sorry," briskly replied the magazine editor, passing on, "but we are only open for short, funny stories just now. Full of the other kind." —Success Magazine. EXPLAINED MECHANICALLY. "When I am busily engaged in thinking," remarked the doctor, "all the noises on earth can't disturb me." "My stars!" exclaimed the professor, in his astronomical way. "Do the wheels in your head make so much racket as all that?" If a national department of health were to be conducted intelligently it should cut down the unhealthful gas explosions in coal mines. After wasting their patrimony, it isn't surprising that foreign counts should turn to matrimony. Hawaii is baseball mad. Why should it not be?

Superstitions About Water. Delightfully quaint are all the super. stitions concerning water, and one which never fails to send little thrills along one’s spine is that which holds that, If water is taken with soup, the drinker will cough in his grave A lively quarre] {s sald to be the result of two friends washing their hands in the same water; and while water pour ed on the doorstep ensures prosperity water thrown out will soon give causé to weep.

All were highly appreciated by the large audience, and the meeting was closed by all singing America. The People's Sunday Alliance continues to grow more and more interesting each Sunday. The paper by Mr. Clem, "The Force That Wins," was so logical and excellent that many declared it to be the best that was ever read before that august body. It was full of the "New Thought" and "Limitless Life" doctrine and the manner in which he handled his subject clearly demonstrated his mastery along that line. Then Mrs. A. L. Froman, the candidate for the presidency of the State Woman's Federation of Clubs, clearly showed her superiority, patriotism, loyalty and historical research as he read her paper on the "Forgotten Hero."

The proof of the value of our work is that we are be- ing imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently menticned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that “theirs is the same” or “just as good”) or referred to “PORO.” We advise you to use only “PORO” Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind).

A family in Jersey have a yel- low dog that bids fair to become as good a provider as his master if his career is not cut short by a bullet or his being sent to the public pound as acommon thief. The other day a terrific scratching was heard at the kitchen door, and when the woman of the house opened the door there stood the dog with a chicken in his mouth, wagging his tail as much as to say: “‘Ain’t this good of me?” He was driven away, the woman thinking it was some carcass he had picked up in the road. The next day a truck gardener com- plained to the police that a yellow cur was killing his chickens. That night the faithful dog again scratched at the door and deposited another chicken, with the same wag of his tail. The members of the family are hoping it will not last much long- er, as chicken is becoming monot- onous and the dog is hardly big enough to carry home a calf.—New York Press. THAT GRAVITY.

The fault can only be corrected by notification. No paper should be as late as Monday in reach- ing the subscriber, With millions of insurance capital, college endowment and private invest- ments pouring into this city and state, giving the highest possible endorse- ment to the permanency and desira- bility of Colorado realty investments, it is high time for negroes to do busi- ness in their own name along this line. Thousands of dollars of ours en- rich the coffers of the banks of the state, yet we believe the bank will stand because its investments are sound, and distrust our own ability to follow along the lines it finds safe. Tenants will pay rent to negroes, mortgages will draw six per cent. when held by negroes, just the same as if we were white. Wake up! You are sleeping on opportunity! The officials of Pueblo county have set a good example by indicting four persons who conspired to take the life of Linn, who was there under arrest for murder. The law is for lynchers no less when they fail than when they have committed their crimes. A jail sentence will do much to put the stamp of disapproval upon “the best citizens” who band themselves to- gether to lynch persons accused of crime. An interesting state of affairs is go- ing on at Madison Barracks, New York, where the soldiers of the Twen- ty-fourth Infantry have been station- ed who have just returned from serv- ice in the Philippine Islands. The town of Watertown is like other such places at army posts, dependent upon the enlisted men for the bulk of their patronage. In contrast with the cor- dial treatment accorded the other regiments stationed there, shop keep- ers have posted notices of a raise in rates for many kinds of services. For instance, a restaurant keeper gives notice that prices are subject to change without notice, the aim being to make colored soldiers pay exorbit- ant rates at the same time giving to other customers the old prices. The men have retaliated by a boy- cott. So far it has held. It is sincere- ly to be hoped that they will hold out to the end. Prejudice is a fine thing for a shopkeeper who depends upon colored patronage! White people in Watertown must think Negroes fools to seek to spend their money under such conditions as they establish. PAGE. 8. AFTER THE NOMINATION, WHAT? It is being conceded that Secretary of War Taft has the best of the fight for the nomination of the Republican party for president, but even his warm friends who set forth his strong points with confidence, do not speak so en- couragingly of the reception his can- didacy would meet at the polis. It is practically certain that he will not be able to rally the voters, nor raise the enthusiasm Roosevelt could, were he the nominee, and so, granting him the nomination, what of the election? Pol- iticlans who have many years’ experi- ence with all the vagaries of public approval, are in the dark. Negroes, for the first time in the history of their citizenship, have made an im- press upon the policy of the great par- ties, for it is fair to say that their attitude is receiving the serious con- sideration of not only their party but of the Democrats as well. Gone are the rabid utterances of Vardaman, in- viting is the attitude of Northern Democracy. Well might the Republi- can party sit up and take notice. Well may the politicians wonder what it all portends. Is Roosevelt, himself, the nominee after all? Mrs. Fred Wilson gave a very suc- cessful entertainment Friday night at Labor Union Hall.

Games and music were indulged in until a very early hour. Miss Clay received many useful presents. Miss Clay, may you have many birthdays as happy as the one just passed.

TOPIC NEAREST TO HER HEART. Whether or Not He Was Married Interested the Girl Chiefly. Seeking to know how best to interest her in my conversation, I hied me to the wise man, who spoke and said: "Speak thou of many things. So long as she ejaculates, the subject thou must change; but when she asks a question, then will you know the topic that is nearest to her heart." Whereupon I returned unto the maiden and lifted my voice most tunefully into speech. "I was talking to a friend of mine as I came along the street," remarked I unto her. "He is a writer of books and has seen the strangest sights and scenes." She turned to me the face of innocence, but nothing said. "He has traveled in distant lands, has sailed the seas and triumphed o'er the mountain tops. He has braved the snows of Alaska and the tropic sun of the Amazon. India has been his stamping ground, and over China has he widely roamed." "Just to think!" she cried. "He has studied the picture galleries of the whole wide world: London, Vienna, Paris, Florence; he knows them from vestibule to roof—column, base and architrave." "He has slept in the house where Dickens was born and has paid his pilgrimage to the room where the great Thackeray breathed his last. He has sat at the table whereon Balzac wrote, and Kipling and he are the most particular friends." "You don't say!" she cried. "He was a war correspondent and made a record in the Boer war. At Port Arthur he ran the blockades both by land and sea and twice was left for dead upon the field." "Before that he was a dramatic critic, and the boldest actor trembled at the words that he might say. He knew the stars that twinkled in the firmament and all the minor constellations on the broad and great white way." "Fancy!" she cried. "He has hunted the tiger in India and the elephant in Africa. He has tracked the lion to its lair and the leopard to its den." Whereat I paused, breathless and discomfited, for never an interrogation had she made, and vainly did I cudgel my mind for the topic that was nearest to her heart, but as I was about to make retreat, lo, she raised her face and queried: "Is he married?" The Woman and the Felline. A western judge—let us hope he had been singularly unfortunate in his female relatives—recently remarked that all women were cats. Women read that press dispatch everywhere, one morning, and for a few hours at least the ears of that judge must have burned, writes Isabel Gordon Curtis, in Success Magazine. Still, there are women who indorsed his judgment, although they feel that he might have qualified his remark and said: "Some women are cats." One can't help wondering why poor pussy, from time immemorial, should have been picked out as the prototype of a mean, treacherous, back-biting woman, for a cat which is well-fed and A RARE OLD BIBLE ONE COPY PRINTED AT MAYENCE IN THE YEAR 1450. Now One of the Greatest Bibliographic Curiosities—Vulgate Prepared in England in the Neighborhood of the Year 668. The first attempt at printing, at Mayence, in 1450 was a copy of the Vulgate, wood characters being used, which contained only the principal parts of the Old and New Testaments. This is the so-called "Biblia Pauperum," one of the rarest bibliographic curiosities, a copy of which was bought by the duke of Devonshire in 1815, who paid only £201 for it. England occupies a prominent place in the history of the Vulgate and in its preservation, as, the purest text being in Milan, Naples and in the southern provinces, Archbishop Theodore and his companion, Hadrian, abbot of a monastery near Naples, went to England in 668, taking with them some of these Bibles. Besides, just at that time Benedict Biscop and Ceolfrid, traveling between Rome and England, brought in other pure Vulgate texts, which were copied and reproduced in the monasteries of Wearmouth and Jarrow, not only for local use, but to be spread by missionaries in foreign countries, especially Germany, France and Switzerland, and, strange as it may seem, even back to Italy. But what is stranger still is that these copies, known under the name of Northumbrian texts, had been transcribed with such exactness that when they returned to Italy they were found to be purer than the Italian copies, which meanwhile had degenerated. One of the attempts to revive the Vulgate was made by Charles the Great, who intrusted the work to an Englishman, Alcuin, who finished it in 801. In the century after the invention of printing the circulation of faulty Bibles assumed such proportions that the necessity was felt of establishing an official edition. A handsome volume, in 1590, took the name of the Sixtine Bible, from Sixtus V., and had as Q. J.

Sixtus V. died almost immediately after, and only two years later Clement VIII. ordered that every copy of the Sixtine Bible be destroyed, and published another called the "Clementine." It seems that Sixtus V. had himself revised the work of the commission, hurting the feelings of the members and offending the Jesuits, who never rested until they obtained the suppression of the Sixtine Bible, now one of the rarest books in the world. Leo XIII. created the commission "De Re Biblica," presided over by Cardinal Rampolla, for the study of the Scriptures, but it remained an academic body, while Pius X. desired to transform it into an institution for practical work. So, on April 30, 1907, Cardinal Rampolla wrote a letter to Dom Hildebrand de Hemptinne, abbot primate of the Benedictines, who used to live in England, intrusting the new revision of the Vulgate to them, and straightway appointing Abbot Gasquet as head of the committee. The English abbot admirably fulfills the requirements of so responsible a position. To vast, profound culture he adds the temperament of a great worker and a love for accuracy and detail.—Pall Mall Magazine. Demand Removal of Ugly Signs. The city council of Springfield, Mass., has referred to the law officer of the city a petition for the removal of some billboards in Main street which have been eyesores for many years. The patience of citizens is at an end, and hundreds of them have signed a request for the abatement of the nuisance. Ballooning seems to involve greater risks than automobiling. The great French war balloon La Patrie tore itself loose from 200 soldiers who were holding it, the other day, and sailed away into the heavens with no pilot at the steering-wheel. It is doubtless wrecked by this time, unless it has gone on a voyage to Mars. A runaway automobile would in time collide with a fence and stop, but no such luck attends a runaway balloon.
