Military Ball THE LAST BIG DANCE OF THE SEASON East Turner Hall Tickets 50c June 11th FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN DENVER HONORS MME HACKLEY TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER H MME The event of the week was the recital of Mme. E. Azalia Hackley at Zion Church Monday night. Seven years have passed since she left the city, yet for months talk of her coming has pervaded musical circles and spread throughout the masses and classes of the city. It is a rare tribute to her personality and to the value of the work she did while here that so much personal interest was taken in the success of her recital. An hour before the time of opening crowds surrounded the doors of the church and standing room was all that was left by the time of the opening number. M. MME. E. AZALIA HACKLEY. It was an audience that was attuned to the occasion. Evening gowns and full dress suits were plentiful and the absolute quiet that prevailed throughout the renditions of the various numberb bespoke as much as the applause the deep interest and perfect delight of the hearers. The admission price could have been much higher so well did Mme. Hackley please the audience. The decorations lent a festal appearance to the auditorium. The Azalia Hackley Choral Club colors of blue and white hung from the chandeliers, and were festoned in front of the church and in the choir nave, while palms and flowers were used effectively. --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY JUNE 6 1908 The club of thirty-five members occupied the choir loft and platform, and the concert grand piano was placed on the floor. The ladies in their light dresses made a very pretty picture. The program gave great delight. The choruses of the club were sung with great precision and tunefulness and reflect splendid teaching on the part of Mr. A. A. Waller, and hard work on the part of its members. There is no organization like the club west of Chicago, and it deserves the highest praise for the perseverence in choral work. The ladies quartet was especially good. Mrs. Morris read, with her wonted taste and style. The piano duett rendered by Mrs. Faulkner and Mr. McGruder was particularly good. The violin solo by Mr. Morgan Jackson, promises a brilliant future. The solo of Mr. A. A. Waller was greatly enjoyed. The splendid accompaniment of Mrs. Faulkner added to the success of the program. The appearance of Mme. Hackley, naturally, was the feature of the evening and she was given an ovation. It speaks well for Denver's musical taste that the selections sung in Italian and French were as enthusiastically applauded as the English songs. Mme. Hackley was most becomingly attired, and her Paris gown was greatly admired. Mrs. Eliza Dishman presented a boquet in behalf of the club, and Mrs. Lillie Moore, in a neat speech, presented another in behalf of Zion Babtust choir, of which Mme. Hackley was director for nearly six years. Some of the practical friends gave presents of money instead of flowers. After the recital the friends went to the platform to meet the artist, and the evening closed with one of the most ambitious and successful efforts, not only in Zion Baptist church, but in Denver's history. No expense had been Continued on page eight DR. LUCAS' To a crowded house Sunday afternoon King Hays, with a paper on "What Shall the Harvest Be," charmingly entertained the audience with his straight-forward matter-of-fact argument on the essential and non-essentials of a successful life. His gospel was work for the night is coming; train your minds to work your hands and body and your hands and body to work your minds. As he most ardently arose to his climax, he said, "Be ye doers of the word as well as thinkers and let this be no one handed matter and instead of there asking yourself the question, What shall the harvest be, you will know for yourself." Dr. Ira A. Lucas, after outlining his argument in the metaphysical and psychic phenomena and hurriedly commenting on Mrs. Froneau's paper, "The Forgotten Hero," and especially Mr. Clem's paper, the "Force That Wins" he launched deeply in his subject, "Conditions that hold us down and how to rid ourselves of them." He showed the various evolutionary periods of humanity, the initial, the prenatal, and environment that tends either to make or mar us; that makes either a strong body, mind and soul or reverses the conditions. He picked imperfections in our teachings of the young, showing how utterly impossible it was for an infant to grasp a conception of God when it had no impression of what man was or is; how we were bound down to custom and refused to be original or get new ideas; how we finite creatures attempted by our limited knowledge to judge man and woman—the infinite. He exploded several old theories held by many of us merely because the teacher or some one else said so or told us so. His thoroughness in dealing with such a vast proposition clearly demonstrated him teaching that to be healthy, happy and wise we must investigate for ourselves, take nothing for granted, live what we teach and teach what we live so that a Christian will be a sound, healthy, prosperous being exampled by his daily life. FIVE CENTS A COPY S' FAREWELL After making many valuable suggestions as to how the society could live and grow, the Doctor closed his most excellent paper which held the audience spell-bound. His many friends at the close of the program grasped his nand and bade him and Mrs. Lucas Godspeed, a happy, prosperous trip and a sale return after a three years' journey. Dr. Lucas has made himself almost invaluable to the Alliance and his absence will be greatly missed by all. The Statesman also joins in with the many for their deserving unlimited success. CALUMET CLUB There has been an entire renovation of the Calumet Club at its headquarters, 2149 Curtis street. First of all there has been removed all accommodations for games of chance of whatever kind and the rooms converted into office, library and lounging rooms. There has been a new installation of the bar and a place made for a barber shop. The finishings are rich with colors that please the eye with mahogany and leather furniture. Individual secretaries have been installed, some of which are already spoken for by various organizations about the city. There has been an election of officers for the ensuing year, H. W. Hinckle being elected president and A. G. Falling secretary. By-laws setting forth the requirements for membership and setting forth the work of the club are being printed and in every way the Calumet Club is putting itself on such a footing as will make it notable among the social efforts of negroes in the West.

If Dr. James Curtis Hepburn of Orange, N. J., attends commencement at Princeton this June, he will celebrate the seventy-sixth anniversary of his graduation from college. He received his diploma in 1832, was graduated in medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in 1836 and is Princeton's oldest alumnus. He recently passed his ninety-third birthday. Of the 1,287 men graduated from Princeton university between the years 1832 and 1852, the 20 oldest classes represented by surviving alumni, only 151 are still living. The clases of 1833, 1836, 1837 and 1838 have no survivors. Of these 151 graduates only eight are classed in the records as business men. Impromptu Speeches. Why be ashamed of getting your speeches made for you by another? Your clothes are made by another—why not your speeches? Both, after all, are necessary to a successful parliamentary career. Impromptu speeches (for any occasion)—as these require more time in their preparation it is necessary to make a charge of seven guineas per thousand, which is, however, inclusive of humor and quotations. Our series of "Impromptu Speeches for One Hundred and One Occasions" can he had for £500, or on the "Times" system of payment for £50 down and 13 monthly payments of £50 each.—London Punch. "Mason and Dixon's Line." "Mason and Dixon's line" is a reference to a boundary which was established in the years intervening from 1763 to 1767, between the colonies of Maryland and Virginia on the one side, and that of Pennsylvania on the other side, by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, who were two English civil engineers. So thoroughly was the allotted task performed by these young Englishmen that an 1849 revision of the survey failed to detect the slightest error. The United States government also, as recently as 1901, has caused the Maryland portion of the noted boundary line to be again revised. Natural Beauties to Be Preserved. A movement has been started to have the Malibu region in the Santa Monica mountains of California declared a national park in order to preserve the prehistoric flora and fauna, found in petrified form, from vandal hands. Geologists have declared the range to be the oldest mountain chain in California, and the wealth of priceless fossils found in the different strata bears out the statement of the scientists. Little, if any, of the land is valuable for agricultural purposes, while the rugged beauty of the many canyons opening on the Pacific ocean is unsurpassed for weird scenic effects. Ear Protection for Gunners. The British admiralty have given attention to the question of ear protection during heavy gun firing, and it has been decided to use plasticine, with the addition of cotton wool, but the form of ear protection to be used is to be left to the individual choice of officers and men. Plasticine may be supplied to ships and gunnery schools if specially demanded. The addition of 50 to 60, grains of cotton wool has been recommended to insure perfect safety. It is pointed out that the cost of the material is very small and use is desirable in many cases. The Slippery Pronoun. Many are the circumlocutions which have been devised by civilized races in order to avoid the bluntness of direct address. In fact, it may be said that at the moment when a nation standardizes its language it begins to have trouble with its pronouns. 'Thou' has, of course, become obsolete, except in prayer, although it flourishes colloquially in the north of England. The second person plural is substituted. In parts of the south "you-all" is heard, a further step toward refined elusiveness. In France and Germany "thou" has been retained in familiar or semi-contemptuous speech. In Spain and Italy, on the other hand, the third person is substituted habitually in place of it. Harper's Weekly. Believed in Signs. "Evangeline is an up-to-date girl," confided the young man in the pearl-colored hat. "How so?" asked his friend. "Why, in the parlor there is a celebrated painting entitled 'The Kiss.' I have been calling on her two years, and I never noticed anything unusual about that picture until last night." "What did you notice?" "What did I notice? Why, right under it there was a sign: 'Do It Now.'" Fatal Blow. "I don't care for any expensive presents," she hinted. "If you would send me a rose for each year, why—" But the leading man jumped two feet in the air. "A rose for each year!" he gasped. "Why, roses are a dollar each and I only have $49 to my name." And after that she never spoke to him except during the play. Already Engaged. "Why don't you make some effort to put the best man you can find in office?"

Heat applied locally for neuralgie pains is very soothing and effective. It is best to have a hot-water bag always in the house, as it is one of the best ways of applying heat. The heat of the water may be too intense to hold the bag itself against the skin, so it is a good idea to make a flannel bag for covering the rubber bag. Use Wire Fences for Telephoning. Telephonic communication has been established between a number of Australian farms by means of wire fences. It has been found easy to converse with a station eight miles distant by means of instruments connected on the wire fences. Several stations are thus connected. To Relieve Sore Throat. A simple way to relieve sore throat is to take a lump of resin about as large as a walnut, put it into an old teapot, pour on boiling water, and then put the lid on and place the spout in your mouth; the steam will prove beneficial in allaying inflammation. Defends Electric Light. Reports to the effect that electric lights are detrimental to the eyesight are pronounced unfounded by an electrical expert in the London Times.

The work of steering a great ship, even with the aid of all the machinery, is much more delicate than one would imagine. The larger and faster the ship the greater is the difficulty. It is not enough to hold the wheel in the same position to keep the ship on her course, for the wind and waves and the currents of the ocean tend constantly to knock the ship off her course. The great wall of steel—for the hull may be 700 feet long and 60 feet high—offers a broad target for the wind and waves. The art of steering is to humor the ship to these forces and when she is deflected to bring her back quickly to her course. If you could watch the binnacle, especially in bad weather, you would see the needle of the compass constantly shifting from side to side, which means that the great steel prow is not going forward in a perfectly straight line. The most astonishing thing about the bridge is to find the wheelhouse with all its curtains tightly drawn, as often happens, and the man at the helm steering the boat without seeing ahead at all. At night or even by day, if the light of the binnacle is confusing, the wheelhouse is often completely shut in. The man at the wheel, it is explained, does not need to look ahead. The lookout high up in the "crow's nest" and the officer on watch on the bridge will keep him informed if any object is sighted. The duty of the man at the wheel is to keep the ship on her course. Throughout his watch of four hours he must keep his eyes on the compass and no where else.—St. Nicholas. O Y THE NATURAL EFFECT. Littl Wonder That Diner was Some what Off Mentally. The wild-eyed man looked hard from his table at the woman across the little room at the pink ink table d'hote. "Have you heard about these dynamite explosions going on all over the city?" he asked her. "I heard the one Saturday night," she said. "I couldn't help hearing it." "Well," declared the bright-eyed man, "don't give it away, but I am the cause of all those explosions." "For heaven's sake," whispered the woman to her companion, "did you hear that? Does he carry the bombs around with him, you think? I want to go home!" "I know that man," remarked her companion quietly. "No wonder he has attacks of brain storm now and then. He's been drinking this table d'hote ink and eating these dinners for two solid years."—N. Y. Press. In a large warehouse in Liverpool a boy named Edward Scott was employed to run errands. There were many rats about the place and he was told that if he could catch one and singe its tail all the others would leave. A trap was set and a rat was caught but while singeing its tail according to directions the lighted paper blew into a pile of straw and started a conflagration that burned four big buildings and inflicted a loss of half a million dollars. There are some smart boys in this world, but there are also some smart rats, and it is just as well to keep them apart. If the rat had caught the boy and singed his hair there might have been eight buildings burned. The Boy and the Rate. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. A. R. Smith was indisposed last week.

ALL A MATTER OF INCHES. 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 the 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.

The naming of a new Canadian town after Mr. Kipling puts him on a level, in this respect, with Shakespeare. Not counting our own Shakespeare cliff at Dover, we find just one Shakespeare in the atlas, and that in Canada. Dickens scores four times in the United States, and Thackeray once. That is to say, they do if we may assume that the places in question were named in honor of the novelists and not after some obscurer individuals. Doubts of this kind increase in the cases of the 30 odd Scotts revealed by the atlas, not to speak of the 50 or 60 Miltons. But a good many of these and of the 20-odd Byrons must certainly attest literary enthusiasm, whatever we may think of the two American Bacons. — London (Eng.) Daily Chronicle. Few Hotel Keys Returned. "Well, there's the first one in a long while," said the hotel clerk, as the postman slapped down the mall 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 Eugenie 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 livery 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.

Variations produced by weather on the abrus plant have been codified by Prof. Nowack, the originator of the observatory at Denmark hill, England. From his codes he can construct charts four days in advance of the weather bureau, predicting storms, winds, changes and the like. The forecasts are made through the different positions of the leaves, which are turned in every direction and brought to different angles by the atmospheric changes. Puzzle for Children. A man has two hobbies. On one he spends $2,000 annually and the other costs him $600 each year. One is air cooled and the other is naturally cool. He takes one out nights and the other goes out alone. One has but one sparker and the other has several. He cranks ane and the other in selfcranky. Both are inconsistent and exceedingly unreliable. Which of the two hobbies is the man's wife and which is his automobile?—Puck. Splendors of the Past. Where is the real, magnificent luxury of the past? Where are the gardens of Semiramis or the banquets of Lucullus? Tea parties have replaced the splendid feasts, motor cars the costly coaches, cottages the palaces and tailor-made gowns the costumes of brocade and gold. Nothing to-day recalls the magnificence of the Italian renaissance or of France under the three Louis.

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 MODEL$. 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? It belongs to the United States. Within the last few weeks The Statesman has sent notices to many of its out-of-town subscribers of their indebtedness. A recent order of the Post Office Department, regulating the matter admissable to second-class mail privileges, compels all newspapers to keep its subscription lists paid up. Many have responded to our letters, and the few who have not done so will please do so at once. It is essential that we conform to the postal regulations and we can easily do so with the co-operation of our patrons. Let each one who received a letter from us make acknowledgment of it today.

Statistics Do Not Bear Out Statement That Man Is Deteriorating. A German scientist, Dr. Emil Konig, has lately undertaken to prove that in highly civilized countries man has abused his constitutional strength, and consequently is more susceptible to disease than he was in earlier times. There is obviously something to be said for this averment, but, considered as a whole, the facts do not bear it out. It is unquestionably true that as civilization advances human life becomes more complex, and the pressure upon a man's physical resources tends to become more intense. It is also true that certain forms of disease, such, for instance, as cancer and heart weakness, appear to be more prevalent than they were a century ago—we say "appear," because only in a comparatively recent period have the statistics of mortality and its causes been trustworthy and exhaustive. The official records of Geneva, which have been kept carefully for a long period, prove that the average duration of human life is materially greater than it was 150 or 100 years ago. Not only the average length of human existence, but the retention of physical and intellectual vigor, or what is called the prime of life, tends to be prolonged. The age limit of usefulness has in practice been pushed forward. The fruitful activity of men over 60, and even 70, years of age is a phenomenon far more frequently observed to-day than it was 100 years ago. Napoleon's career was over at 46: Von Moltke's can scarcely be said to have begun, so far as great achievements were concerned, till he was nearly 70. What is true of war is true of diplomacy, of law, of medicine, of every field of work in which mental and physical energy is indispensable. When, in a word, we examine impartially all the data, weighing accurately all the evidence pro and con, we seem justified in taking an optimistic rather than Dr. Konig's pessimistic view of the effect of civilization on the bodily well-being and longevity of man. Some Fast-Day Superstitions. In Armenia, fasts, both of necessity and of choice, are very general, and strictly observed. The most common length of time for abstinence from food is seven days. Throughout this long period the Armenians, imbued with religious fever, partake of no food. Only in the case of the young unmarried woman is any concession allowed. The young men, on the seventh day of their fast, are allowed, by old and sacred custom, to eat a little cake, freely mixed with salt. By this means dreams of pure, sparkling, fresh water will be certain to visit the young man. A strange superstition is connected with these visions. The dreamer will see a maiden approach the stream, and she will carry him a jug, filled to the brim with sparkling water. The dream maiden will be the girl whom Fate has decreed he shall marry. This strange superstition is found in Armenia wherever the habit of fasting is observed, and it is believed in with the utmost faith by the unmarried THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. The angular widow stood beside her third prospective husband. "Madam," said the old minister, "do you take this man for better or for worse?" The angular widow smiled her broadest. "Wal, parson," she drawled, "he's powahful better than my first husband and powahful worse than my second, but I reckon I'll chance him, anyhow. Let the ceremony go on." Solace for the Many. "What a misfortune it is that the public encourages so much trashy literature!" remarked the man with black-rimmed eye-glasses. "It isn't a misfortune," answered the practical person. "It is a blessing. It enables people whose books won't sell to imagine they have written classics." Rivals in Fame. "They are making a great stir about the pianist." "Yes. The advertisements make almost as much fuss over him as they do over the make of piano he plays." Peculiar Scotch Railroads. Scotland possesses several railroad anomalles of which probably the most notable is that of the stations of Mallaig and Kyle, of Lochalsh, which, though only 20 miles apart in a straight line, are separated by no less than 360 miles of rail by the shortest route, viz.: Crianlarich, Balquhidder, Perth and Inverness. Yet another Scotch incongruity is that the nearest railway station to the town of Port Ellen, on the island of Islay, if we except the small local line at Campbelltown, is Ballycastle, in Ireland. Lavender Scent for Rooms. Do you know that a few drops of oil of lavender in a silver bowl or ornamental dish of some kind half filled with very hot water, and set in the dining-room just before dinner is served gives a delightful and intangible freshness to the atmosphere? Hostesses may use this in the parlors and dressing-rooms when arranging the house for entertaining. The suggestion is especially advantageous to those occupying small apartments which are sometimes "stuffy."—Delineator. Dog Advance Agent of Train. A traveler waited at a certain English provincial town in vain for the much over-due train on the branch line. Again he approached the solitary sleepy looking porter and inquired for the twentieth time, "Isn't that train coming soon?" At that moment a dog came trotting up the line, and a glad smile illuminated the official's face. "Ah, yes, sir," replied the porter. "It'll be getting near now. Here comes the engine-driver's dog." Germany's New Coin. Germany will soon have a new coin of the value of a quarter mark, or 25 pfennigs. 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. Coins with a hole through the center are still in circulation in China and Japan, but their introduction was objected to by some artists in Germany on the ground that the perforated coin belonged to a "past age."

A man of St. Joseph, Missouri, relates a story in connection with a spiritualistic meeting once held in that town. A man named Daniel Miller, who was some six feet seven inches in height, had died recently. The spirit of Daniel was called for by some one at the seance mentioned. When it had appeared and announced its readiness to reply to any questions, some one asked: "Are you in Heaven?" "Yes," came from the shade of Daniel. "Are you an angel, Dan?" "Yes." At this juncture the questioner paused, having apparently exhausted his fund of questions. But to the amusement of all he suddenly ad ded: "And what do you measure from tip to tip?"—Youth's Companion. GETTING RID OF THEM. "Pay attention, now," said the school-teacher, addressing his class during the geography lesson. "The population of China is so great that two Chinamen die every time we take a breath." This information made a deep impression on the juvenile scholars and the teacher was particularly struck with the uncomfortable appearance of one small boy at the foot of the class. His face was flushed, and he was puffing furiously. "What is the matter?" inquired the school-teacher with alarm. "What on earth are you doing, Tommy?" "Killing Chinamen, please, sir," was the answer. "I don't like them foreigners, so I'm getting rid of just as many as I can!" HE WAS DISGRUNTLED. A naval officer of distinction, after months of consideration, submitted to the secretary of the navy a plan for the improvement of the administration of the battleship fleet. It was returned to him "disapproved." His anger flamed up at the way in which he had been turned down. "There you have it," he said bitterly. "You work like thunder for the government and even your recommendations meet with no favor. I feel, however, there is one more thing I should recommend to the department—that is the organization of a veterinary corps." "Ah, that is for the sea horses," it was suggested. "Not at all," was the response. "That is for the jackasses that are found both fore and aft in the naval service." [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit jacket.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

Mother's Belief in Boy's Fate Seemed Justified by Events. “People may jeer at fatalism and poke fun at all ideas which are embod- Jed in predestination,” said Senator Culberson of Texas at a small gather ing of friends the other day in Wash- ington, “but sometimes a man rubs el- bows with events which make him less skeptical about such things. A fine young boy near Dallas was shot while out hunting, and the bullet lodged so near his neart that there was not one chance in a thousand that he could survive an operation. But he did sur- vive, and the operation was one of the things of which the surgeons in the lo- cal hospital were very proud. But the boy’s recovery was tedious and as soon as the fever left him he was allowed to see his friends and to play cards and generally to amuse himself. The bullet had been given to the boy and occupied a conspicuous place on thetable. Every caller saw and handled the bullet and talked over his almost miraculous escape from death. One day the boy’s mother was with him and several relatives when a boy who had formerly gone to school with the patient paid him a visit and of course he wanted to hear all about the operation and to see the bullet The boy told it all with great vim and then, taking up the bullet, he said “Here's the bullet that caused all the trouble, and now I shall bite it to pieces to pay it back,” and he laugh ingly put it in his mouth. Just then he was seized with a coughing fit, the bullet slipped down his throat, lodged in his windpipe, and in a few minutes he had strangled to death. The poor mother was nearly crazed with grief. but she afterward told the pastor of her church that she felt her son was destined to die of that bullet and that she had little confidence_of his re lcovery, even when the operation was pronounced successful, She had dab bled somewhat In the occult sciences and she declared that the boy had been predestined from all time to die from that particular bullet and that nothing could save him from that fate.” Death Reward of Dog's Devotion. Pete was the name of a smart dog in the Loudner family back of Millrift Pa. The Loudners are Germans, and the youngest is three years old and a boy. Hecause the dog was too clever it was killed But it was a mistake The child and the dog wandered some distance from the house in the afternoon, romping with a rubber bal! fastened to the end of a stick. Sud denly the dog appeared at the house and ran about the rooms, and, barking and yelping, pulled at the women's dresses and otherwise acted in such a strange manner as to cause them to scream “Mad dog!” and seek safety on chairs. George Loudner, attracted by the noise, came into the house and shot the dog. Then the child was missed and search was instigated They found the youngster in high glee at the antics of a big rattlesnake which was playing with the rubber ball The boy would reach out the whip with the ball attached and hit the snake on the head. The reptile would resent the attack, plainly trying to sink {ts fangs into the rubber globe, all the while rattling and coiling and uncoiling as the ball circled about it Mr. Louder killed the snake, The dog was not mad, but had tried in THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADC. rACL vain to get some one to aid the child, and met its death by being too faithful. a OE IE IF OF IF EIFS FOF LSE IE OF IF FOF FOF OF OFS 5 4 ; “THE NEW CLUB” : ; 2552 Washington Ave. ; ..Billiard and Pool. ; : In Connection ; J.

That bathing in Manila bay might be considered a doubtful joy by most people is proved by the following from the Manila Times: “Manila bathers have generally scoffed at repeated warnings against sharks jn Manila bay. Not long ago Capt. R. M. Lasala, whose residence is on Malate beach, reported a large shark seen close to the beach from his house. The launch Nina of the Manila Navigation and Transportation Company has just brought to the company’s offices a saw- fish found stranded at Salinas, Cavite The sawfish measures from the end of the saw to the end of its tail just 12% feet, and from tip to tip of its fins measures 4% feet.

Honor Is Philadelphia's. It is not generally known that the idea of printing illustrated postage stamps originated in this city. The distinction of having suggested the illustrated stamps is claimed by James C. McCurdy, a mailing clerk, of 911 West Susquehanna avenue. Mr. McCurdy outlined his ideas to the post office department as early as 1887. A few years later the Columbian series of illustrated stamps was issued and found such favor that many other series have followed to commemorate important national events. The originator of the idea treasures a letter from President Cleveland's private secretary, who acknowledged the receipt of a copy of the original designs for illustrated postage stamps and informed the designer that his suggestions had been referred to the postmaster general, who later acted on them.—Philadelphia Record. Much Owed to Lord Kelvin. It is perhaps not generally known that the success of the Atlantic cable was due to the calculations and experiments of the late Lord Kelvin, at that time plain William Thomas. He discovered that the current through a long cable would arrive gradually at the receiving end, and devised the apparatus which rendered it possible to utilize such a current for making the Morse signals. It was through disregard of his theoretical predictions that the first Atlantic cable, in 1858, was ruined by too powerful currents. Without his mirror galvanometer to translate into visible signals the delicate impulses received through the cable, the enterprise would have been a complete failure.—Youth's Companion. Wild Goose Story from Maine. Here is a wild goose story from a South Harpswell correspondent: Friday afternoon as Edward H. Moody was working at Barne's Island Cove he saw a large wild goose sitting in the edge of the water. The wind was blowing a good breeze at the time and the goose had evidently got in the lee and was taking his afternoon nap. Mr. Moody crept up and seized him by the neck and got one of the worst beatings of his life from the wings of the bird, but he held fast and took his prize home and has him still alive, and will keep him to show to his friends as a proof of the wonderful feat he accomplished.—Kennebec Journal. Good Game for Girls' Party. A game that will be of interest for a young girls' party should be conducted by a good story teller. The girls are placed in a circle around the story teller. She begins a narrative and must include the names of the girls. Every time a name is mentioned the girl must get out of her chair and into another one before the speaker is seated. Every one must make a scramble to protect her seat and keep the story teller on the floor. A new story is told and every time the word "love" is mentioned, each girl must change her place. The speaker aims to get a chair before ten minutes elapse, or she must pay a forfeit. Sorious. Indeed. "Lady," said the tattered tramp at the gate, "can't yer spare me a dime on a very urgent collection?" "What do you call an urgent collection?" asked the busy housewife. "Why, yer see, I have just been fined $29,240,000 for ridin' on an oil car an' I've only got two days to get it together." THE STATESMAN. DENVER. Cheap Meals in New York. The seven-cent restaurant in the basement of the six-story apartment house known as the Mayflower, in Clinton street, now furnishes evening as well as morning meals. There are 12 long tables in the restaurant, at which 120 people may be seated, or ten to each table, and the places are occupied from nine a. m. to one p. m. and again from five to 7:30 p. m.. The seven-cent meal is wholesome and clean, and the undertaking is receiving so much encouragement from men who derive benefit from it and save money by going there that the managers hope to make it self-supporting in a short time. A similar establishment in Chrystie street, where over 1,400 meals are served every day at six cents a meal, has been in existence nearly three years and is now self-supporting.—New York Tribune. Kaiser Makes the Biggest Book. The kaiser, who has not until now given the world assurance of being a bookmaker, has, as might be expected, started with a record. The volume which he has presented, through the German ambassador at Washington, to President Roosevelt, bulks so big as to be beyond the wit of man to give it natural conveyance, and Baron Speck von Sternburg was fain to convey it to the White House in a vehicle. The volume stands some six feet high, and is rather more than half as thick. It further differs from all other books in being without a title. It is, it appears, a gigantic encyclopaedia of Germany, and from its place in the congressional library it will tower a lofty monument of the Fatherland. A Prince as Farmer. Prince Eric of Denmark, the third son of Prince Waldemar and nephew of Queen Alexandra, is to have a practical education in agriculture, and, so far from following the rule invariably accepted by royal princes of entering the navy or army, he intends to become a farmer. Although only 17, the prince holds very decided views about his own country. He is convinced that agriculture is Denmark's staple industry, and that her future success and prosperity are dependent on it. The prince proposes to make himself a master of all the arts and crafts of husbandry, and is to be inducted in the most thorough and practical manner on a big estate some distance from Copenhagen. Not All Hawks Chicken Thieves. The hawks have as bad a reputation as the crows, and all hawks are called "hen-hawks" by those who are ignorant of what they do live on, but the majority of the hawks do not live on poultry, by any means. A great many of them live on insects, and mice form a large item in their bill of fare. The sparrow hawk is the one that is to blame for the hard name given to his brethren, and it is he who kills the chickens and hens. When hard pressed for food other hawks rarely may carry away a hen or chicken, but this is the extreme rather than the average case. Kill the House Fly. The fly transmits typhoid through its feet. It can carry thousands of bacilli on each foot, and if it lights on food and the food is eaten disease is apt to follow. The fly does not wipe his feet, and there is no use in trying to train him to do so. The only resource is to get rid of him entirely. All careful housekeepers have their windows and doors screened, but this is valuable largely as a matter of comfort; it does not go to the root of the trouble. The flies infest butchershops and grocery stores, and we shall never be immune until we attack the fly as an enemy of society. Scene and Circumstance. When a noble act is done-perchance in a scene of great natural beauty; when Leonidas and his 300 martyrs consume one day in dying, and the sun and moon come each and look at them once in the steep defile of Thermopylae; when Arnold Winkelried, in the high Alps, under the shadow of the avalanche, gathers in his side a sheaf of Austrian spears to break the line for his comrades; are not these heroes entitled to add the beauty of the scene to the beauty of the deed?—Halph Waldo Emerson. British Immigrants. In the last 40 years, 1868-1907, 1,769,729 persons have come to this country from England and Wales. Add the Scotch, 390,432, and 2,040,291 have come to the United States from Great Britain in 30 years. This is more than have come from Ireland in the same time, twice as many as have come from Sweden, four times as many as have come from Norway, and more than have come from Poland and Russia put together.—Philadelphia Press. Will 3breed Alligators. One thousand alligators, ranging from the length of a lead pencil to monsters that could crush a man in their jaws have arrived from the southwestern part of Louisiana and were landed loose in a new 'gator farm in East Los Angeles.

According to statistics just issued the male inhabitants of St. Petersburg outnumber the female by 124,000. The total population of the capital is now 1,454,704, showing an increase of 230,000, or nearly 19 per cent, as compared with the census of 1900. Q. J.

Edison paid a very pretty compliment to Mark Twain at a dinner of the Engineers club to Andrew Carnegie. Using his place card as a memorandum page, and writing with lead pencil in the small round letters characteristic of his hand, Mr. Edison inscribed a sentiment and handed the card idly over to his neighbor, L.
