Triangle Club BLOOMFIELD PARK June 18 Admission 25c Follow the Crowd TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Nat ural History Society THEY MUST GET OUT AND MIX TWENTIETH YEAR THEY MUS OUT COMMENCEMENT AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY. That Western University is building into a still greater institution, and setting in motion currents of usefulness, uplift and progress on every hand, was well attested by the splendid commencement just concluded, Thursday, June 4th—the greatest and best commencement in its history. Dr. Wm. T. Vernon, president, on leave of absence as registrar of the U. S. treasury at Washington, D. C., was present and lent all his old-time energy and personality in assisting Acting President Shelton French in making the closing days of the year's work the great and grand success that it proved to be. For ten days people came from all parts of the West, walked or rode the two miles from the street car line, and crowded the Auditorium hall at each exercise, sometimes through rain and over bad roads. In all kinds of country vehicles, carriages, hacks, automobiles, and in a large tally-ho carrying eighteen at a trip they came and went curious, crowded and contented. The elocution department, in charge of Mrs. Fannie E. Motin of Topeka, opened up the festivities with a very fine exhibition of student work along these refining lines. The uniformed military band, and the University orchestra, in charge of Prof. Wade Hammond, followed with an evening of classical, popular and sacred music. The piano and vocal music depart, ment, under Prof. Robt. G. Jackson, next gave a night of difficult renditions by students who have studied and practiced hard during the school year. Then came an address to the literary societies by Prof. Jefferson King of Summer High School, Kansas City, Kansas, on the subject, "Higher Life." The unselfish life, the useful, the helpful life, the life of service and sacrifice for the greatest amount of good to the greatest number was the idea pictured in words to these young literary students. --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY JUNE 13 1908 The baccalaureate sermon by Rev. O. E. Jones of First A. M. E. church, Kansas City, Kansas, was a forceful discourse advising the graduates and students "In all your ways, acknowledge Him." "Throughout the circuitous path of your life make God your leader and your guide. Build your life on the rock, Christ Jesus," said the eloquent divine. The impression made by Rev. Jones cannot be forgotten. Monday evening, Rev. J. E. Edwards of Topeka, delivered to the assembled religious societies one of the most scholarly, deep and impressive lectures ever heard in the institution. Following up a long line of illustrious Biblical characters he paid a most fitting tribute to our beloved Bishop Abraham Grant. So well was it received that the institution will have it printed for future reference and study. Tuesday the state board of trustees met and elected teachers and transacted important business for a greater Western University next year. Tuesday evening the class of 1908 held their class day exercises. Wednesday, June 3rd, the church board of trustees met and elected teachers and planned for future enlargement and growth along all lines. Wednesday evening, the annual oratorical contest took place before a crowded audience. Every contestant of the four young men and four young ladies rendered their orations with high-class scholarly finish. The judges had some difficulty in picking the winners, and finally decided the contest as a tie between the two best, Miss Erva French and Miss Vinecy Keys. Prof. G. Archie Gregg deserves much credit for the excellent training of these young people. Thursday afternoon at 2 p. m., in a large tent which held the 3,000 people who were present, the commencement proper was held. The graduates had been trained by Rev. E. R. Vaughan, and they reflected great credit upon the institution by their mastery of Continued on page eight WOMEN'S CLUBS ANNUAL MEET Who are we! Who are we! Colorado's Colored Women, don't you see!

Writer in Appleton's Makes Suggestions Worth Considering. The Bible is not a dreary book. It is a cheerful book. It is not a dull book. It is an intensely interesting book. Not all parts of it are appropriate reading for children. Why should they be? Some parts are not even fit for children to read. Bible literature must be given to children with discrimination, just as should any other literature. Your boy will be just as much interested in Bible stories as in any other stories, unless you frighten him away from them. Also you will find that he wants the real Bible stories, not somebody's imitations. If he sometimes prefers "Diamond Dick—The Boy Pirate," or its like, it doesn't show that Bible stories do not interest him. It shows simply that you must use some tact in competing with the author of "Diamond Dick." The Bible stories do him good, and "Diamond Dick" does not. Naturally he does not want to be done good to all the time, any more than do the rest of us. Instead of making him memorize the Bible for punishment, let him memorize carefully selected passages in place of some other work. He may not thank you at the time, but he will some time. It will give him a heritage of pleasure and profit upon which he may draw at will for the rest of his life. Don't give him the idea that every Bible story is a moral lesson. Some Bible stories are no more moral than some newspaper stories. If you confuse the moral and the historical your boy may grow up in doubt as to whether an Amalechite is a sin or a man. No matter what the theologians may have said to the contrary, it is not sacrilegious to treat the Bible sensibly. In fact, it seems to us sacrilegious to treat it any other way. Perhaps you were made wretched in your childhood by having the Bible unintelligently crammed down your throat. Perhaps you were made to memorize whole chapters by way of punishment. That that was not the best way to make you fond of it, never occurred to your parents. They had never heard of child psychology. Perhaps you were threatened with hell unless you believed every word in the Bible true in its narrowest, its most literal sense. Perhaps you remember family prayers where your father read from the Bible in a dreary monotone while the rest of you sat in awed silence. From all this dreariness you wish to protect your child, and no wonder! But that is no reason for depriving him of the real Bible.—Appleton's Magazine. Improved Matrimonial Conditions. Dr. L. C. Haliburton, the noted English statistician, was discussing in New York the statistics of marriage—marriage statistics are his specialty. "The last statistics," he said, "show us one pleasant change, one grand improvement. Aged men of wealth are no longer marrying beautiful, mercenary young women as frequently as they used. In fact, these marriages are becoming in this country so rare that the newspapers don't hesitate to comment very forcibly upon them. I approve of these cruel comments. They keep such mockeries of marriage down." Haliburton smiled grimly. "In a little town in Herts last month," he said, "a millionaire of 79 married a young and pretty millfner of 22. The local paper printed the next day this editorial paragraph on the matter: "Six months ago, when Mr. Blank's venderable wife died, his children and grandchildren feared that he would go crazy over the sad bereavement. Their fears have now come true." Submarines for Sponge Fishing. Illustrations, together with a full description, are given in a Parisian journal of a novel type of submarine intended for the sponge-fishing industry on the coast of Tunis. The vessel is built wholly of iron and is 16.4 feet in length by 5.24 feet in diameter, the general form being cylindrical, with hemispherical ends. It is intended to carry two men, and is fixed so as to enable the vessel to move along the sea bottom. An electric lamp with reflectors fixed in front will serve to illuminate the bed of the sea, and a glazed spy-hole in the bow of the vessel enables the crew to seek out and gather the sponges. Spokes and Tires. John D. Rockefeller has one virtue which even his greatest critics won't deny him: He doesn't affect public dinners. The secret of this abstinence he recently confided to his family physician. "In the first place," he said, "I can't eat much, as you know." "But you don't have to eat at such feasts," protected the doctor. "I'm aware of that," replied J. D., "but you do have to sit through the speeches, and if there's anything I dread it's that sort of thing. To my mind an after-dinner speech is like a bicycle wheel; the longer the spoke the greater the tire." On Mount Etna. The characters of all the climates of the earth can be detected—the frigid close around one, the temperate with its belt of trees just underneath and the tropical at the base of the mountain, with its vineyards and luxuriant groves. The great ocean around, with the islands of Lipari, Panari, Alicudi, Stromboli and Volcano, with their smoking summits, appear under your feet, and you look down upon the whole of Sicily as upon a map.—Exchange. --- COLORED HOTEL Mrs. H.

Mr. Simon Smith, who has been sojourning in Nevada and other western points, has returned home. Mr. Ollie Brown, who has been employed at the Palmer Cafe for several months past, is again at the Inter Ocean hotel. Mr. J. E. Smith is making an extended visit at her former home in Hamburg, Iowa, and in Nebraska City, Nebraska. Mrs. Benj. Davis, who has been ill, has recovered her usual good health. Rev. Jones, pastor of the A. M. E. church, who has been visiting relatives in Oklahoma and Kansas, returned home Tuesday last. Mrs. E. F. Landor, superintendent of Allen's A. M. E. Sunday school, and Miss Mae Smith, one of its efficient teachers, were elected delegates to the Sunday School convention which convenes in Denver June 17th. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, quarterly meeting services were not so well attended as on previous occasions, but nevertheless the sermons delivered us by Presiding Elder Hubbard were thoroughly enjoyed. Rev. Hubbard declared himself as highly pleased at reports turned in at the Quarterly Conference. Mrs. B. Frank Gaskin entertained the Searchlight Club at one of their regular meetings of recent date. A pleasant and profitable afternoon was spent. The hostess served delicious refreshments. The entertainment given by the Sewing Circle of the A. M. E. church surpassed from a financial standpoint that of any entertainment of a similar nature ever given in the city of Cheyenne. The proceeds were one hundred dollars clear of expenses. Mrs. H. H. Jones, the president, and her efficient co-workers are to be highly commended for their success. Mr. E. F. Landor was called to Kansas City two weeks ago by the serious illness of his step-daughter, Juanita Landor. He returned Sunday evening last and reports that Miss Juanita, while very low, may recover. Miss Juanita has many friends in Cheyenne and in Denver who regret to know of her illness, and who wish her entire and speedy recovery. Mrs. Della Sullivan of Chicago, who had been visiting her mother, Mrs. Marie Harrison and who had been ill since her arrival here six months before, passed away quite suddenly May 27th. Mrs. Sullivan won many friends by her sweet manner and disposition, and her death was keenly felt by those with whom she had come into contact and had grown to love her. The funeral services were held the following Sunday and were conducted by Rev. Fitzgerald of the First Baptist church. His discourse was beautiful, helpful and inspiring. A quartet composed of Mrs. E. F. Landor, Messrs. H. C. Jefferson, Wm. Ashford, Jr., and Chas. W. Pierson, rendered several musical selections. The bereaved mother, Mrs. Harrison, has the sympathy of a host of friends. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Mrs. Johnlnie Pierson of Pocatello, Idaho, is visiting here at the home of her relatives. Mrs. Marie Harrison desires to tender her thanks to the friends who so kindly remembered her in the hour of her bereavement. Especially does she wish to thank the members of The Household of Ruth for their devoted attention and their many acts of sympathy and love. Mrs. Nora Taylor continues in very poor health. Mrs. Cora Brown of the South Side, Cheyenne, was a pleasant caller among her numerous friends on the North Side one evening last week. Mr. Nolle Smith, who has been attending school in Lincoln, Neb., is expected home in a few days. Miss Lena B. Hopkins, who graduates from Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., on the 12th, will also be welcomed home in a short time. Mrs. Bratton, who has been in our community for several months past, a few Sundays ago identified herself with the A. M. E. church, by coming under its watch-care. Mrs. Bratton is held in love and esteem by all who know her, and this recent step is indorsed by all. Last Sabbath morning a very good sermon was listened to by the members and attendants of the A. M. E. church. Rev. Perkins delivered a sermon that was thoughtful and earnest. His subject was "Rebecca," and his application was very beautiful. In the evening the congregation enjoyed the extreme pleasure of hearing Dr. Ira A. Lucas, recently of Denver. Dr. Lucas has a world-wide reputation as an orator, and to say that his discourse was enjoyed would be stating the fact mildly. Dr. Lucas is accompanied by Mrs. Lucas, and they have both by their charming manners won many friends and admirers, although they have been in our midst but a short time. Mrs. B. Frank Gaskin entertained informally, but very charmingly, a few evenings ago in honor of Mrs. J. E. Smith, who was soon to take her departure for points in Iowa and Nebraska. The first part of the evening's entertainment was a trip to the Atlas theater. After the entertainment a dainty supper was served at the home of the hostess and was participated in by Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Landor, Mrs. Hanna Mitchell, the hostess, and her husband. Mrs. R. L. Price, recently of Los Angeles, Cal., is spending a few weeks at the homes of relatives and friends in Kansas City, Mo. Previous to her departure for that place, Mrs. Price spent several weeks in this city, where she had lived for many years. Miss Kate Turner of Hamburg, Ia., a niece of Mrs. J. E. Smith, expects to accompany her aunt on her return to her home in this city. Rev. P. C. Crutchfield of the Second Baptist church was in Laramie over Sunday. Arthur Thompson, who was assaulted several weeks ago, serious injuries MASONS' PICNIC THE SECRET OF THE MASONIC EVERYBODY'S OUTING ....Bloomfield Park....

Mr. Griffin, recently a corporal in the Tenth Cavalry, has been honorably discharged and is renewing acquaintances in "old Cheyenne." Southern lunch, as well as their costumes, testifying to the fact. The whistle blew and it was "All Aboard for Japan," where two pretty Japanese maidens in dainty silken kimonas served tea, and dainty salad. Mrs. Wm. Redd and Miss Eva B. Hopkins were the representatives of this na Mrs. Helen Thompson, who has been quite ill, has recovered and is able to be up and about again. She is now living at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dewese, on the South Side. Mrs. Susannah Pierson has been quite a sufferer for many weeks. At this writing Mrs. Pierson's condition is improved, though she is still quite ill. Those who did not purchase a "through" ticket for a "Trip Around the World" with the Searchlight Club, missed one of the most enjoyable entertainments that have ever been given in Cheyenne. Old Mexico, the starting point, was represented by Mesdames Wm. Ashford and J. A. Baker. They were very artistically attired in Mexican costumes, complete from head to foot, and presented a truly realistic picture. From the home of Mrs. Ashford, where a Mexican lunch complete in all its details was served, the crowd boarded the "Limited," which consisted of a hayrack and another vehicle, for the Sunny South, where they were received by Mesdames J. E. Smith and E. F. Landor. The hostesses were bandannaed and were typical Southern girls, their Southern lunch, as well as their costumes, testifying to the fact. The whistle blew and it was "All Aboard for Japan," where two pretty Japanese maidens in dainty silken kimonas served tea, and dainty salad. Mrs. Wm. Redd and Miss Eva B. Hopkins were the representatives of this nation, and their effective costumes and decorations were charming. Cuba and the United States were represented by Mesdames H. Jefferson and P. C. Crutchfield, Cuba; Mesdames James C. and B. Frank Gaskin, U. S. A. Appropriate lunches were served at both stations. Mesdames Jefferson and Crutchfield were very alluring as Spanish senoritas, while Mesdames Gaskin unfurled "Old Glory" in artistry house drapery and in costume. Thus passed into history another triumph for the Searchlight Club of Cheyenne, Wyo. LARAMIE, WYO., NEWS. Mrs. F. M. Liston went to Rock Springs last Monday night. Mr. Wm.

Waller, Madame E. Azalia Hackley was entertained by the Azalia Hackley Choral Club. The house was tastily decorated in the colors of the club and everywhere large bouquets of cut flowers shed their fragrance. Many of the I. G. A. friends called and spent a most delightful evening. The ladies of the club rendered the Primrose chorus in such a pleasing manner as to receive a most hearty encore. By request, Mrs. W. A. Jones sang a beautiful solo, which added much to the evening's enjoyment. Madame Hackley, in a heart-to-heart talk with the club, very interestingly told of her travels and of the advantages to be gained in earnest, active study along musical lines. She urged the members to dare and do greater things and to raise the musical standard, in Denver, so high as to prove to the world that Denver is on the musical map. Dainty refreshments were served and at a late hour all departed after having spent a most delightful evening. The ladies of the Self-Improvement Club are supporting for president of the State Federation Mrs. Alice D. Webb. Mrs. Webb is first vice-president of the Self-Improvement Club and president of the City Federation of Denver. She is intelligent, dignified, self-possessed and patient.

GILMORE Undertaker and Embalmer Carriages Furnished for all Occasions Denver's Leading Undertaker COLORADO SPRINGS IS SWEPT BY MME. HACKLEY. When it happens that all of the most representative people whose intelligence is such that they can appreciate and correctly value a high-class singer, nothing much is thought of a large audience of that sort, but when we find persons from all walks of life clamoring to hear our most talented singer, then we know what a deep impression she has made upon them and how dearly they hold a "Colorado" woman of art. There were a set of musical critics whose study and training warranted them a chance to intelligently criticize the singing of the Madame. But she so highly passed beyond all their expectations that unstinted words of praise came profusely from their lips. Madame Hackley simply charmed her audience with her wonderful and easy range of voice, so full, so distinct and under such perfect control. Even Colorado Springs claims Mme. Hackley as a Colorado product. The next day Cheyenne Canon, the Garden of the Gods, Manitou, Pike's Peak, Cave of the Winds and other beautiful scenic points were visited by the Madame in company with her friends. The people of "Little London" expressed their greatest reluctance in having her to return to Denver so soon. She came, she saw and swept everything before her with her peculiar sweet and plain, yet congenial, disposition. Come again, Madame Hackley. Literary at Tanner Lyceum is in progress and every Monday night a grand time is had. Many visitors from Colorado Springs are noticeable. Robert Henderson of El Paso, Tex., is sick, as are Mesdames Gatewood, America Williams, Rumford Gross of South Conejos, Ida McCarrol, Edythe Earl and Mattle Earl. Mrs. Lula Hill will visit Denver soon, also Mrs. M. Earl and daughter, Birdie, who is at present a teacher in Prairie View, Texas, in the Domestic Science Department. Their visit will extend for a few weeks' duration. Phone Main 3725. 1225 19th St. Phone Main 5910 TATE RESTAURANT FOR A Club Breakfast SHORT ORDERS SERVED AT ALL HOURS.

Splendid Act of Pussy at Right Moment Always Remembered, and Whole City Mourned at Her Obsequies. When the train crew found that it was "Emma" they had run over, one dark night in Asheville, about ten days ago, they all gathered about the spot in that hats-off attitude which the might have assumed about the grave of a departed great man. Emma was only a cat, but a cat known widely in North Carolina. She had been most tenderly cared for and pampered since the night of the Emma township burglary in 1901, when she saved the life of one man and caused the hanging of two others. One black night a clerk named S. H. Alexander, who slept in the store-and-post office building, was called to the door by loud knocking. On opening it, he was confronted by two masked men, who pointed guns at him and ordered him to open the safe. Alexander was scarcely more than a boy, and he had to obey, though the safe contained a large sum of money. As he knelt on the floor to get at the combination, he revolved in his mind schemes to foil the robbers, but, with those blued barrels trained on his back hair, he decided to reject them all. As the door swung open, one robber laid his revolver on top of the safe and stepped up to see what was inside. Emma, who until then had been viewing things with alarm from behind the stove, chose that moment to act. Using a sugar barrel for a take-off, she leaped at the crouching robber, upset his equilibrium and passed her needle-like claws up and down his face twice or three times. The other robber turned his head in alarm. It was only an instant, but in that instant Alexander had snatched the revolver from the safe and shot the man who was fighting off the cat. The other robber leaped on the clerk and wrestled with him for the smoking revolver. Alexander was beaten on the head and shot in several places; and, when the desperadoes thought he was dead, they made off without stopping for the booty. Neighbors were alarmed by the noise of the firing and scuffling, and a posse was able to start on the trail while it was fresh. Before daybreak it captured not only the two robbers, but two accomplices. All four were sentenced to be hanged, but at the last minute the accomplices got off with life imprisonment. Alexander got well finally. At one time, when it seemed certain that he must die, a girl to whom he was engaged married him. After his recovery the government rewarded his bravery with a place in the postal service. The postmaster, D. J. McLellan, appointed Emma official mouser at the store, with all the privileges and emoluments of the place. When she was run over the trainmen brought her body to the store, and next day she was buried with imposing ceremonies and a funeral which nearly everybody in town attended. She was the mother of 172 kittens, but, so far as is known, only one is alive to-day. That kitten would probably be harder to buy than a child of the same age.

It is a matter of immense importance to a people as to what ruling thought governs their lives. It was said of Dr. Abel Stevens, the historian of American Methodism, that he did not fail to claim for Methodism all that fairly belonged to it. It will appear to every student of the present condition of our people in this country that the A. M. E. church has given an education along right lines to a class of leaders and their constituency, which when examined carefully will be found a solid and lasting basis upon which to build up a race to monumental heights of intelligence and manly independence. A people thus in course of development can by no possibility fail to become in time the mainstay and sought for acquisition to the body politic, in this broad and still broadening empire. We are in a land which guarantees to her citizens the most sublime government under any banner ever uplifted 'neath the concave heavens. When our sire, the sainted Bishop Allen, and his coadjutors, emerged from old St. George's church in Philadelphia, in 1787, they resolved to set up business for themselves. He refused to bow the knee to any other God save the Lord. He was like Mordecai of old. He had in mind the scripture which said, "God is no respecter of persons." From that time to the present the uplifted banner of the A. M. E. church has had emblazoned thereon the sentiment after formulated by Bishop Payne, "God our Father, Christ our Redeemer, man our brother." In a political contest we would call for a free ballot and a fair count. In the world of industry we would mean equal privileges for all and special favors to none. In scientific formula it would be accepting the dogma, "survival of the fittest." I would not stop to discuss the question of Bishop Allen's inspiration. We believe him called of God to erect an altar to which the ostracised sons and daughters of Ham might repair and in the days of their infancy offer thereon incense, which ascending would reach the presence of the most High. Coming thus to him, His bowels of compassion would yearn toward a helpless and down-trodden people. The church of Allen has made an effort to develop self-reliance, manhood and intelligent devotion among us. How well we have succeeded along these lines the present results will show. From the first Bishop Allen was in touch with what he considered the dominant religious movement of his day. He said, "What little religion we have we are indebted under God to the Methodists for it. No one can see his manner and hear his humble words and not class him with the mighty spirits which ever and anon God raises up to do a great work in the world. We have always had faith in God. We have faith in the sense of justice in this great American people. We may suffer injustice for a time, we may be oppressed, but finally when our case is adjudicated at the bar of the conscience of this American peo- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. ple we will come out all right. As we go forth we utter no great swelling words of vanity. We know our state is an humble one. Four hundred years ago the car of Christian civilization began rolling in this land. The poor Indian has been a ward of this nation for the land taken from him. In a sense this land awaited the touch of Christian genius 550 years. The black man gave 2,000,000 men who worked 100 years to enrich this land. Are we entitled to no consideration in justice? We laid the foundation on which the white man has risen to heights undreamed of in so short a time. Now all we ask is an opportunity to develop intellectually, industrially and religiously. Will the white man deny us these always? I trow not! J. W. SANDERS. ALLIANCE TO MEET AT CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH. At Bourner's hall Sunday, on Twenty-seventh and Arapahoe streets, the People's Sunday Alliance met with a good enthusiastic audience. The day being business Sunday much healthful and intelligent discussion was provoked in the interest of the Alliance. The board of directors from now on have secured some valuable timber and the public will be surprised and benefited by the anticipated treats in store for the members. The program Sunday will be a paper by one of Denver's leading men, and vocal solos, Miss Ruth Hoffman and Miss Tucker of the East. Rev. Payne generously opened his doors to the Alliance and one or two others have thus shown appreciation for the Alliance by extending favors to it.

WS ates Ba Cee aS a I AY ANGORA REDE te tek While woe “I saw an instance recently,” re- marked Senator Carter of Montana, “of one way to get along with Indians when it comes to a horse deal. One of the missionaries who makes occa- sional excursions into the Crow coun- try by way of getting on friendly terms with the tribe, commissioned two of the men to get him a swift, strong and presentable riding horse, and he stipulated that he would pay a hundred dollars for*the kind of horse described. The braves soon appeared with a horse, swift, strong and a splendid looking animal, but, alas! so vicious that he had to be clubbed al- most to insensibility before he would be saddled. Then the Indians blind- folded him to get on the bridle. “The missionary looked on, anything, but edified by the conduct of the braves and fierce temper of the horse. Still, the Indians insisted that they had brought the horse described and they demanded the hundred. The mis- sionary explained that though the horse could go like the wind, the rider ran the risk of having his neck broken before he dismounted. More than that, the missionary was not strong enough to beat the horse as the Indians had. Besides, he finished tearfully, ‘How can I blindfold the horse whenever I want to mount?’ The Indians replied that all he had to do was to take off his shirt and tie it over the horse's head. ‘But conceive,’ said the man of God, ‘how I would look being com- pelled to take off my shirt every time I got on the horse. Why, you Indians know that I go among whites as well as Indians, and women as well as men. It would cover me with shame to pull off my shirt that way. I can- not buy this horse.’ The Crows thought it over and finally gave up on the ground that it would not be seem- ly for the preacher to have to take off his garments promiscuously, so the deal was off amicably.” Recipe for Oratory. Representative Hobson, at the end of a brilliant speech on naval arma- ment, was congratulated on his ora- tory. “What is your recipe for good ora- tory?’ a reporter asked. “I am afraid oratory comes natural,” was the reply. “There is, though one recipe for it, old Job Walmsby’s, but it is hardly satisfactory. “‘Tha wants to be a public speyker, dos’ tha, lad?’ Job, in his Yorkshire dialect would say. ‘An‘ tha thenks Awm the chep to put tha up 8 wrinkle aboot it? Tha’s right, I awm. Now, hark tha! When tha rises to meek thy speych, hit taable, and oppen thy mawth. If nowt comes, tak a sup o’ water, an’ hit taable again Then oppen thy mawth wider than afoor, Then, if nowt comes, tak thysen off, and leave public speakin to such as me.’” Seeecanan i One of World's Wonders. Mount Etne, now attracting the ap- prehensive gaze of the world after 16 years’ retirement from active busi- ness, has furnished more material for travelers’ tales than any other moun- tain on earth. Astonished Englishmen of a century ago, who fell into the fashionable habit of climbing {ts high- est peak—and some did s0, to the amazement of the Sicilians, even in the dead of winter—have left on rec- ord in the exuberant language of their day the emotions that thrilled ther soul. “The man who treads Mount Etna,” wrote one of these, “is a man above the world.

It is said that the New York Jew- ish community is now the largest in history or tradition. It represents ten per cent. of the entire Jewish popu- lation of the world.

CAUSED A RUMPUS STORY OF ONE SMALL DOG AND ONE UMBRELLA Mrs. McIntosh's Absent.Mindedness and Puppy's Ability for Making Trouble Sadly Disturbed the Peaceful Congregation. We had a little excitement in our church a few Sundays ago. Mrs. McIntosh is remarkable for her singular absence of mind. Dr. Potts, the preacher, was reading from the Scriptures the account of the deluge, and when he came to the story of how it rained for so many days and nights Mrs. McIntosh became so deeply absorbed in the narrative and so strongly impressed with it that she involuntarily put up her umbrella and held it over her head as she sat in the pew. Mrs. Butterwick, who sits in the next pew in front, always brings her dog to church with her, and when Mrs. McIntosh suddenly raised her umbrella the action affected the sensibilities of Mrs. Butterwick's dog in such a manner that he began to bark furiously. Then the sexton came in and tried to remove the animal, but it dodged into a vacant pew on the other side of the aisle and defied him, barking all the time most vociferously. Then the sexton became indignant and flung a hymn book at the dog; whereupon the dog flew out and bit him on the leg. The hubbub in the church was by this time, of course, something simply dreadful. Not only was the story of the deluge interrupted, but the wicked boys in the gallery actually "sicked" the dog at the sexton, and seemed to enjoy the contest exceedingly. Then Deacon Jones came after the dog with his walking stick; whereupon the animal actually dashed toward the pulpit, and ran up the steps in such a fierce manner that Dr. Potts all at once mounted on the chair to get out of the way of the beast, and he said that if this disgraceful scene did not soon come to an end he should dismiss the congregation. Then Deacon Jones crept up the steps, and after a short struggle he seized the dog by the hind leg and walked down the aisle with him, the dog meanwhile yelping with supernatural energy. Mrs. McIntosh turned around to watch the retreating deacon, and as she did so she permitted her umbrella to droop over so that the end of one of the ribs caught in Mrs. Butterwick's bonnet. A minute later, when she straightened up the umbrella, the bonnet was wrenched off and hung dangling from the umbrella. Mrs. Butterwick had become exceedingly warm, at any rate, over the onslaught made against her dog, but when Mrs. McIntosh removed her bonnet she fairly bolled over and, turning around white with rage, she screamed: "What did you grab that bonnet for, you green-eyed catamount? Ain't you made enough fuss in this yer tabernacle to-day skeering a poor, innocent dog, without snatching off such bonnets as the likes of you can't afford to wear, no matter how crazy you are, you red-headed lunatic you! You let my bonnets alone, or I'll warm you with this parasol, even if it is in meeting, now mind me!" Then Mrs. McIntosh seemed to realize that her umbrella made her conspicuous, so she furled it and concluded to go home. The best equipped Pleasure resort in the West. Ping Pong Pool and Billiards T.

Miss Rosa Lee Bush of Independence, Mo., is stopping for the summer at 2602 Welton street. Clyde Andrews, Edward Plummer and Miss Westfield are home from school at Western University. Miss Lucy Buchanan has returned from Arkansas, where she has been teaching. There was a goodly audience at the Woman's Club Tuesday evening at the performance of Mrs. Temple's Telegram, presented by some white amateurs. The performance was followed by a promenade in the ball room, all being for the benefit of the Old Folk's Home and Orphanage. This building was secured for this purpose through the kindness of the ladies in charge to Mr. A. Colston, and throughout the evening the pleasure was on a par with the unusually beautiful surroundings. The promenade to the music of the Harris orchestra was the best in many a day. Wednesday evening, at 2606 Gilpin, there was one of the best and most instructive lessons in music given the entire Choral Club that was ever experienced by that body before. Every member was eager to catch the valuable words of information and gentle criticism from Mme. Hackley and then endeavored most assiduously to put it into correct action. Mme. Hackley clearly demonstrated to the club she is not only a master of her profession but that she is a mistress of all of the masters. Her free and easy deep breathing made notes so voluabble and resonant, whose basis was at the pit of the stomach and whose top was just behind the nasal cavities, near the roof of the mouth. No lesson so plainly demonstrated and so ardently absorbed could have been given that will linger with each member of the club as the one in question. The Choral Club loved Mme. Hackley before, but now nothing short of complete adoration will hardly express the feelings manifested by the club Wednesday night. Her careful, wise helpful suggestion was driven home with a lasting impression of Mme. Hackley's smile. Mme. Hackley belongs to Denver and Denver will never consent to relinquish her claims upon her. She is a typical Westerner, full of life, ambition, enthusiasm and for humanity first and herselast. Long may she live to return ever and anon to Denver.

Behavior of American Troops in the Face of Awful Death. One of the most remarkable events in the annals of American arms occurred at Fort Crook, Neb., the other day when a tornado struck the place. As the dispatches tell the story: "When the officers realized that a tornado had struck the post 600 men of the Sixth regiment were brought to battalion formation and in the midst of flying slate roofs and other debris they were marched across the parade ground to the substantial buildings, where they were put 'at rest,' and took to the cellars. The fort was damaged to the extent of $100,000." History and fiction alike have dwelt upon the dauntless spirit of men who have manifested their willingness to "charge the gates of hell or scale the heights of heaven," but doubtless no better illustration of this spirit was ever given than when this devoted band of American soldiers at Fort Crook formed ranks to "do or die" together in the face of a resistless tornado, says the Kansas City Journal. Those who have never viewed the fury of one of these terrible outbursts of the angry elements cannot imagine the dreadful reality of the scene, with the heavens blacker than night, the darkness intensified by blinding flashes of lightning, the terrors of the storm multiplied by the terrific crashes of heaven's artillery, and the air filled with swirling clouds which hide all else but the awful figure of death, the ghastly funnel-shaped cloud which makes gigantic leaps along the ground, uprooting trees and whirling houses, animals and human beings through the air on the wings of the death-dealing wind. It is a sight to appall the stoutest heart and to cause the human mind to realize the utter impotence of man in the presence of angry nature. The charge of the Six Hundred at Balaklava was a trivial incident of military duty compared with the steadfast discipline of the 600 American soldiers at Fort Crook, who coolly formed in line and braved the tornado's fury as though it were a matter of mere routine duty. Metallic Mirrors. The production of metallic mirrors for searchlights and other such uses is now in demand in Europe. Those made of glass, now used, are objectionable owing to their liability to fracture when the guns are fired on ships, and to the silvering on the mirrors blistering and separating from the glass. A new metallic mirror, made partly by electro-deposition, is being introduced. The mirror has a surface composed of alternate bands or rings of gold and white reflecting surfaces. It is claimed that this mirror gives a more penetrating beam of light, both at night and in foggy weather; that objects on which such a beam of light is thrown stand out in greater relief than in a light thrown from a silver white metal mirror, and that the intensity of the light is so great that it is impossible to alm accurately at the projector. Another advantage claimed for the new mirrors is that they are not fractured by concussion, and that even when penetrated by bullets the area of distortion is very small. German Public Schools. According to the last official reports THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. there are 61,198 public schools in Germany, attended by 9,779,356 pupils, or 94 per cent. of all German children of school age, leaving only six per cent. of all other schools, including home training. Since 1901 the school attendance shows an increase of 9.1 per cent. During the same time male teachers show an increase of 10.6 per cent. and female teachers an increase of 30.5 per cent. The annual average cost per pupil for public school education has increased from $11.20 in 1901 to $12.86 in 1906. The average number of pupils to each teacher was 58 in 1906, some having as high as 85 pupils and others as low as 33. Making Electrical Engineers. In the great shops of a well-known electrical company are some 300 young men, clad in workmen's garments, assembling small apparatus and testing dynamos, transformers, railway motors and lighting appliances of every description. These men have come from universities, colleges and technical schools, not only in this country, but in all quarters of the civilized world. And they are supplementing the theories upon which they have spent years of study with the admirable practice to be obtained in the finely equipped shops and the variety of apparatus manufactured. - Scientific American.

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." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

Tablets Found in Ruins of Babylon Cast Insight Into Life of Old Community That Is Most Interesting. That among the ancient Babylonians, 3,000 years B. C., there were lawyers of rare ability, real estate men of more than ordinary shrewdness in driving and clinching a bargain and craftsmen with great ingenuity and pride in their work is the opinion of Eugene F. Ware, lawyer, poet and "Kansan." In an address before the real estate men of Kansas City some time ago Mr. Ware made the statement that as long as 5,000 years ago men were dealing in real estate and that those men were as energetic traders and as keen in their transactions as the real estate dealers of to-day, says the Kansas City Star. Mr. Ware explained the result of his research into the history of the Babylonians which has caused him to form this opinion. While traveling in Europe several years ago he came upon a number of clay tablets at the Louvre in Paris. The tablets are specimens uncovered by excavators who were searching for records of the ancient Babylonians. Several thousand of them have been found in the city of Nippur, capital of the ancient Babylonian state of that name. Nippur was one of the largest cities of Babylonia, situated on the banks of a canal connecting the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The city was famous as the seat of worship of the god Bel, chief deity of the Babylonian pantheon. A tablet owned by Wr Ware is a replica of one in the Louvre. It resembles nothing so much as a cake of toilet soap. In color it is pure white and is covered with letters of the cuneiform alphabet. The Baylonians used tablets similar to the one owned by Mr. Ware for all their writing, and on these recorded deeds, leases and other real estate transactions. The tablets were made of white clay very much like that used by modern sculptors. They varied in size from specimens as small as a pea to others the size of a bushel basket. They were made by men who probably occupied the same position in the Babylonian business world as our modern public stenographers do. A lawyer would go to one of these scriveners on the street corners, dictate his brief to him and the "stenographer in clay" would write on the tablet with a three-cornered stick. The tablet was then baked in a charcoal oven and was ready for use. The writing on the tablets was first translated by Sir Henry Rawlinson in 1854. The tablet owned by Mr. Ware records a transaction between a jeweler and a real estate man. The real estate man purchased a gold ring with an emerald from the jeweler and the tablet records the sale and contains the jeweler's guaranty of the ring for 20 years. Sagging at Shoulders. Are you letting yourself sag a bit at the shoulders? Don't, if you want to keep either young or well. There is nothing so fatally easy as to grow round-shouldered. Keep a sharp watch THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. on yourself to prevent it. Each morning stand up against the jamb of a door and see if you have begun to sag. Also walk around your room each day with a piece of broomstick or short umbrella under each arm and brought across the back. This keeps the chest up and head well poised. Deep breathing exercises, whenever you think of them, will help ward off those round shoulders, also making a practice to wall. with the chest up. This last is the simplest of all preventives, for if it is always practised the rest will follow. Useful Remodeling Suggestions. Have you a last year's white linen suit which requires only a few new little touches to make it suitable for this summer? If so, follow one of the latest ideas from Paris, and introduce a bit of color by using colored cretonne for the trimming. Just a touch of it will be sufficient. Perhaps you will need to make only a new set of cuffs, and possibly an adjustable shawl collar, which may be worn or removed at your pleasure. Then, again, you could introduce a renovating touch in your linen skirt and-coat suit merely by changing the buttons. If your suit happened to have large pearl buttons last season rip them off, buy some molds and cover them with cretonne. Whose Fault? We talk so much, and we think so much more, of the trouble we have with others, that we more than half persuade ourselves that if everybody else were just right, we could get on easily in life, but the fact is that more than half of all our troubles, even of our troubles with others, grow out of our own faults and our own failures and not the faults and failures of other people. Until we get rid of ourselves, or until we are lifted above all selfish thought of ourselves, there is continual trouble for us, however other people bear themselves.—Home Chat. Cleaned Out. Walker—I wonder if there were any tramps in old Rome? James—No fear. There were too many baths in that town.—Illustrated Bits. A certain bishop, whose diocese is near New York, was calling recently upon a family in that city. This household is in possession of a treasure which has become extremely rare of late—a faithful old Irish servant, whose term of office dates back nearly a quarter of a century. From long association with the family, she is a privileged character, and her "old country" sayings furnish a never-ending source of fun. She now occupies the position of nurse to a little grandchild who lives with the family. On the evening of the bishop's call, he and the members of the household—including the youngest, Mary's charge—were sitting in the parlor after dinner in the deepening twilight. Bedtime for the little one arrived, and promptly on the hour came Mary in search of her. In the dim light the old woman did not notice a stranger in the room, and, speaking with her usual freedom, she exclaimed, peering about for the child: "Well, sure, you're in the dark, like the Protestant bishop!" There was a roar of laughter, and the clergyman acknowledged that the joke was undoubtedly on him.

The meeting of the club women of the state is the event of next week. They will be the guests of Pueblo and they will carry with them from their homes the best wishes of their husbands, sons and sweethearts, for in all things that are on a plane above sordid money it is to the women mankind turns for guidance. It is strictly true that our women set an example of unity and efficiency far above that of our men, notwithstanding their smaller equipment of experience. Our best wishes go out to the club women and we hope they will be as successful this year as formerly. The financial depression is going and after election there will be a boom in realty prices.

There are persistent rumors that the Speer end of the city administration is going to add on several colored employees to its present showing. IT IS WORTH A TRIAL. From time to time there are plans and rumors of plans looking to the establishment in this city of a Y. M. C. A., a home for the musical associations, a home for the women's clubs, an entertainment hall, all of which laudable undertakings have separate partisans and well-wishers, but from none of which has come as yet anything definite or substantial. It is time something was done. Property values are steadily increasing, population is growing, the need of such a home has never been greater than now. Some one of these propositions has supporters who will work as well as plan, and to them we must look for the initiative. One leader is worth a dozen followers at such a time as this.
