THE HOME IS BEST OF ALL TWENTIETH YEAR THE HOM BES Address of Hon. W.B. Townsend Before the State Federation of Women's Club. "We all well know that thinking leads a man or woman to knowledge. You may see, hear, read and learn whatever you desire, yet you will never know anything of it except that which you have thought over, that which by thinking you have made the property of your own minds. Take away thought and you become no better than dumb animals. It is only by thought—exhaustive thought—that you can become truly human. 'Ponder these things in your hearts,' said one of the apostles, and God says to His people, 'Come, let us reason together'—both being only a different way of saying think, think, think! Do your own thinking. So I offer a few suggestions to you to start you to thinking. In the mountains of Tyrol hundreds of women and children come out at bedtime and sing their national songs until they hear their husbands and fathers and brother's answer them from the hills on their return home. Home—ah! sweet word and fond welcome to all it holds most dear. It is said that upon the shores of the Adriatic the wives of the fishermen at sunset are found singing their melodies. "They sing the verse and then listen for some time; then they sing the second, and so on until they hear the answer from the fishermen, who by those sweet voices are guided to their homes. So it is today, many a man's heart is made to beat quickly and joyfully, in memory's glad review at sight of the light in the window, placed there by willing hands prompted by loving hearts. By these words I hope to awaken glad thoughts which in the future will echo in better arranged home surroundings. There are places where people stay, eat and sleep that are no more worthy to be called homes than a cesspool is to be called a reservoir of pure water. Shall I tell you --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY AUGUST 1 1908 the truth and awaken you to better thoughts or shall I soothe your minds to rest by finely rounded sentences and leave you no food for thought? Truths cannot give offense to the honest and well meaning and, believing you to be of that class, I assure that the manner in which I speak is as a friend and not the rancorous vehemence of a fault-finder. "I make allowance for the Western men who have pushed out this far toward the setting sun, endeavoring to establish themselves upon land. Yet in the eager race for wealth, all sight must not be lost of other important matters. A man who pre-empts a tract of land enters into a contract with the government to till and improve it; so I would say of the man who buys a tract of land in the city on which he builds a house for a home should improve it, render it soothing, pleasing and delightful to the eye. Many of you have passed places in the city and the country where the people are only staying, because their houses have no surroundings to make them inviting, not a sprig of grass, not a tree or even a bush in the dooryard to relieve the terribly wobegone and forsaken appearance of what is termed a home. I remember once in a neighboring state of showing a farm which was for sale. "Passing up through the field we found each side of the driveway thickly skirted with cockle burrs so high that they shaded the cornstalks and bid defiance to the sun as it made its circuit over them. My thoughts went back to what a wise man said of a sluggard. When I asked the man living on the farm why he let his cornfield get so foul, he replied, 'Oh, that corn wasn't planted—it just volunteered.' Glancing about I noticed it was in regular rows, and it greatly surprised me, and my surprise was increased when I noticed the rows were about four feet apart and and I was more astonished when, turning an angle and looking down the other Continued on page 13 GRAND MUSICAL AT ZION Although Sunday night was very warm and outdoors was the most pleasant place yet, Zion had a tremendous crowd to hear the sacred muscle. It was purely a treat and the choir may well feel proud of its almost perfect harmony because of the even blending of their voices. The acoustics have been so favorably placed that the good effect can be readily noticed. The program rendere was: invocation, by the pastor; "We Praise Thee, O God," Wilton; the Scripture lesson; "The Earth is the Lord's", sermon by choir; "Abide With Me" by Lyte; congregational singing "Jesus the Very Thought of Thee," pike by choir; "Sauctus," Gounol, choir; and it was here that Miss Margaret Willis showed the wide range and control of her cellent voice. Miss Willis has one of best voices in the choir. "The Angels' Anthem," Schmeker, Mrs. Dean the best voices in the choir. "The An of Kansas City, Mo.; "Te Deum Lau Cross Have Taken," Lyte, congregational singing; "Great is the Lord," Colburn; after which Rev. Reynolds made some very timely remarks. TRUE REFORMERS CARRY DENVER BY STORM-OVER 350 MEMBERS. In the short space allotted us it would be impossible for us to attempt to detail all the work and success which was reported to the public during the sessions of the United Order of True Reformers. We desire only to call your attention to the meetings as they occurred with a little comment on the reception Wednesday night. Sunday, the second annual sermon, "Unveiling of Life," a most powerful message, was delivered by Rev. A. M. Ward at Shorter's chapel. Revs. Beckham, Brown, Reynolds, Holmes and the Right Rev. Bishop Grant each paid a high compliment to that growing institution which has and is destined to lead all such commercial bodies. The bishop was very much elated and earnest about the good and financial standing the institution was doing. FIVE CENTS A COPY USICAL AT ZION The music was furnished by the True Reformer choir, of which Mrs. Lilley Moore was choirister and Miss Gertie Nichols organist. Mrs. Luella Young delivered a very strong address touching nearly every phase of the Rosebud work. Mrs. L. E. Cash, division secretary, made her report, which disclosed nine Fountains, four Rosebud nurseries, 340 senior members, 184 children which had been taught the seven principles of the order, together with the raising of $882.25 for one branch alone. Mrs. Lillian H. Jones completely electrified the house with her selection, "Dream of Paradise." The silent ripple of approval demonstrated that the audience clearly recognized her musical ability. The short, pointed and weighty remarks delivered by Rev. W. L. Anderson, deputy general, were well taken by the large audience. The chief of Denver Division introduced his chief in a very appropriate manner. But when the Rosebud nursery sang their sweet song with their little hands clasped tightly in each others' and forming a circle within a circle, formed by the senior members, it appeared because of so much life and earnestness put into the song that heaven's angels had descended among the audience and were treating them to a pean. Monday night 19 new members were initiated. Tuesday night a public meeting was held at Zion Baptist church. Wednesday evening a reception was tendered the distinguished guests. Never has there been so much refreshments and delicacies prepared and served on any former occasion as was served on this one. Although it poured down rain and the evening seemed spoiled, yet about 50 or 100 people gathered and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Mrs. Isabella Stuart delivered a welcome address to the Rosebud lecturer and deputy general and responses were made by each respectively. The Continued on page 8 THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

They all attend chapel on most of the days required, but they find life too strenuous to get up on Sunday morning to attend church. The girls are said to take more interest in almost anything else than church, but surely some of the fault must lie with the church. --- --- Women who complain of being bored with so few interesting things to think about should take up some of the subjects for investigation that are being proposed.

Realizing the demand among the negro people for an educated ministry, The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute conducts in connection with its other departments a Bible Training School. The courses of study are so arranged that not only ministers and licentiates may be benefited, but those also who desire to do better missionary work or become intelligent Sunday School teachers. The chief aim of the Bible Training School is to afford a comprehensive knowledge of the English Bible and to implant in the hearts of those who attend an ambition to dedicate their lives to the elevation and Christianization of their people. Daily supplementary exercises, designed to install habits of sobriety, cleanliness, regularity and accuracy, are provided. The teaching is wholly undenominational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work being done elsewhere, but instead, to assist all denominations. During the past year, the enrollment in the Bible Training School has been satisfactory, but the opportunity is now provided for a considerably larger number. The teaching is free. The cost of board, including furnished room, light, fuel, laundering, etc., is $8.50 per month. The entrance fee is $7.00, to be paid in cash by each student when he registers. Students will be given the opportunity to work out much of the $8.50, in some cases all of it. Lack of means should not keep anyone from entering the Bible School. If the student is not afraid of work and study he will succeed. For further information, address: Principal, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Remarkable Story of Lightning Related by Veracious Mariner. "In Duluth, down on the docks, some days ago, some fresh-water ancient mariners were talking of adventures on the raging main," began Capt. O. J. Ludlow of Detroit at the National. "Capt. H.," said one, 'it seems to me I've heard somewhere that your vessel was once struck by lightning while sailing, sailing over the bounding main?" "Yep, twice,' said Capt. H. 'Happened off Point aux Barques 'bout 15 years ago. We were joggin' 'long when a thunderstorm overtook us, and the very first flash of lightning struck the deck amidships and bored a hole as big as my right leg down through the bottom of the vessel.' "'And she foundered, of course?' "'No, sir. The water began rushing in, and she would have foundered, but there came a second flash and a bolt struck my fore-to'-gallant mast. It was cut off near the top, turned bottom end up, and as it came down it entered the hole and plugged it up as tight as a drum. When we got down to dry dock we simply sawed off either end and left the plug in the planks.'" —Washington Herald. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Maine Nature Story of Unusual Visitors to a Farmyard. James Tibbetts of the Neck Road, Benton, has been entertaining strange company for several days, says a Kennebec (Me.) correspondent. Recently Mr. Tibbetts went to the barn and turned out his stock. When he stepped into the barnyard a few minutes later to start the water at the pump he was surprised to find a bull and a cow moose apparently waiting for the water. Mr. Tibbetts went directly to the pump and began raising water for the stock. As the water poured from the spout into the big trough among the first of the animals to reach it were the strangers. Each moose drank its quantity and then slowly walked past the farmer to a low place in the fence where each vaulted over and struck off across the field in the direction of the woods. Every morning since the creatures have appeared in the barnyard when Mr. Tibbetts has turned on the water. The strange part of the affair lies in the fact that the farm is well watered by three small brooks which keep running all winter and the Sebasticook river is but a few hundred yards away. It is possible the creatures have discovered something in the brooks and in the river which sets their taste going in another direction, for they are watering regularly at the Tibbetts pump. The moose have never bothered the cows or the oxen of the Tibbetts herd, and the latter have never apparently paid any attention to the presence of the strangers. New Work for Women. A new corporation for women is that of visiting librarian, young women to go about from one private house to another, keeping the library in order, seeing that the books are properly dusted, in their right places and conveniently catalogued. This young woman might also interest herself in preparing bookplate designs for those wishing to add this pretty feature to their books. While many persons base the bookplate upon some family crest or scroll, others prefer something entirely original, and preparing designs is most interesting work. COLORED HOTEL Mrs. H. Clay, Prop.

THE HOME IS BEST OF ALL Continued from page 1 way, I found the corn in rows. What a wonderful discovery this man had made! How to make corn 'volunteer' in check rows four feet apart each way, without plowing the land—for such was his story. "Certainly he was a genius; it was a final triumph of brains over muscle; a genius hiding his light in a cockle burr field. I was about to clasp my hands and give thanks to the Creator for this public benefactor who had discovered a new way of earning a livelihood without exchanging sweat for bread, when my ardor was suddenly checked by his calmly remarking: "Humph! that's nothing. It always does that way where I came from down in Missouri!" Passing on to the house we found the dooryard fence gone to wreck; the gate held with a solitary hinge; hogs wallowing in a mudhole at the kitchen well and grunting in supreme satisfaction; some of the boards had rotted out of the porch floor; setting hens snugly ensconced in the corners of the porch; the steps rotted away from before the dorway; no tree in the yard, no grass, no flowering shrubs, except a lonely gooseberry bush at the corner, and the house, although it cost hundreds of dollars, looking in shape and cleanliness inside like a hogpen in distress. The house had a few slanting boards for the roof, and holes sawed out vertically for doors and windows, the whole structure being a stranger to paint. But the outside of the house was regal splendor compared with the smoke and grease-begrimed inside—too smoky for owls and bats and too greasy for bedbugs, it was only fit for the genus home. "When we walked over the floor the echo was as doleful as the dull thud of the first clods upon the coffin lid of the beloved departed—its welcome to the grave, and why should it not, for there was a monument cursed to the memory of a home. Talk about raising children to adore their Creator, revere and honor their parents, love their country, to refrain from crime and to love their homes in such a pile of rubbish as that! No—no. I left that house ill at ease in my mind and worse in my stomach, wondering where the rest of the family was, and as I was passing around the house to the side opposite the sun, I encountered the man's five dogs lazily snapping at flies, and there upon the bare ground lay his wife and four children with unkempt hair and unwashed faces, singing: 'We would not live always, we came not here to stay; But we're going to live anyhow, till we die. "I mentally ejaculated, "Even so more quickly.' My friends did not invest, but held their noses and passed outside; and, being younger than I am now, I said: 'Let Aphriam alone— THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. he is joined to his idols.' What is it that gives human beings an ambition and incentive for noble deeds and generous actions? Is it living like hogs or roosting like fowls? It is the gentle influence of winds, rich laden with fragrance gathered from different surroundings visited upon an appreciative home. Let us recall another picture. Passing along a winding road, under the shadow of a large mound, I came to a drive edged with two neat stone walls, over which here and there strayed a wild vine. Turning into the drive at the further end was to be seen a clump of cedars. "Over a rustic gateway climbed the wild ivy; along the walls were beautiful flower stands made of old stumps and tree forks. Over the door twined the honeysuckle while up the side and corners of the house and along the eaves clung and hung in festoons that queen of beauty, the five-leaf ivy. In the rear of the house murmured a brook as the waters rushed over a little obstruction made by throwing in loads of stone. Inside of the house was found the planning and presiding genius, a plain farmer's wife. And yet this was a small log house, not worth to exceed $200, yet in and about this house prevailed that which money can augment but can never buy—the air of contentment and harmony—a blessed home where even the tired traveler could find a welcome and a rest. "Oh, blessed contentment! — the mental philosopher's stone, which, if it can not remove the disquietudes arising from a man's mind, body or fortune, makes him easy under them. It is ineed a kindly influence on the soul of man, in respect to every being whom he stands related. It extinguishes all murmurings and ripens into gratitude towards the Being who has allotted him his part to play. It destroys every tendency to corruption and gives sweetness to his conversation and a perpetual serenity to his thoughts. "Contentment can only be obtained by those who have about them the influences of a sweet home. It then begets gentleness in the heart; and gentleness in the great avenue to social enjoyment. Amidst the strife of conflicting interests it tempers the violence of contention, and keeps alive the seeds of harmony; it softens animosities, renews endearments, and makes man's countenance a refreshment to his fellowman, for 'as iron sharpeneth iron, so does the countenance that of his friend.' Banish from the earth the gentleness engendered by sweet home influence and contentment and suppose the earth to be filled with none but 'staying places,' and the harsh and contentious spirits naturally reared in such places, and what sort of society remains? "The wildest solitude of the desert would be preferable. The conflict of contending elements, a den where serpents hiss, or beasts of the forest howl would be the only proper representation. Nature has already provided a sufficient quantity of evils for man; let him make the best of life that he can. We suffer from the storms, the jealousies and bickerings that come from without—without conspiring with sloth, negligence or criminal thoughtlessness to render our homes unpleasant, our families unhappy and ourselves miserable. "Reverses will come. We cannot always stay their fierce onslaughts, but we can break their force if we fortify ourselves with pleasant homes, to which all members of the family gladly gather to shield us from the storm or make the trial easier; and rob it of its sting by sharing it. It is a wise provision that we have sorrows as well as joys. If we were always prosperous we would be giddy and insolent. If we were always afflicted, we would be sullen and despondent. Hopes and fears, joys and sorrows, are one given, the other permitted, and happy are the men and women who surround themselves with home endearments which augments the one finds consolation through the other. I have given you two types of places called home—one expensive, yet abominable and debasing, the other cheap, yet harmonius, pleasant and elevating. You have seen those who live in nice houses with pleasant, swarded yards, so extremely utilitarian as to forbid the foolishness of any ornamentals and could have no plants or trees in the dooryards except those which would bear fruit. You should not be neither too grasping nor too negligent, to surround yourselves with pleasing objects and thus increase the strength of home influence. What sort of a garden do you suppose was planted eastward in Eden? Did it ever strike your fancy that it was filled with nothing but fruit trees, potatoes, turnips and cabbages—in short, only those things to satisfy the stomach and nothing to satisfy, charm and rest the nobler part of man? How charming to think that in the cool of the evening, the Creator aired Himself in a pumpkin patch or perambulated through an onion bed! No; we are expressly told that out of the ground caused He to grow every kind of evergreen and tree that is pleasant to man as well as those which are good for food—mark the arrangement; first providing for man's nobler nature and then for his temperol appetite. With so illustrious an example there should not be a reversal of the order by looking only to the satisfying of the appetites. "Ladies, largely to you belongs the pleasures—and it should never be a task—of making your abiding place a home. We all take pleasure and are affected with delightful sensations when we see the inanimate parts of creation, the meadows, flowers and trees in a flourishing condition. Contemplate for a moment a home surrounded by choice trees and flowers, the sweet perfume of their bloom wafted upon the breeze to heaven—their swaying branches answering to every wind with a green coronal, bowing continually in gratitude to the Great Creator of all. Compare such a home with the four bare walls, unpainted or exposed houses, with a chicken coop in the door, and the pig stye generating noxious odors in front of the kitchen door and your feelings, I imagine, would take about as great a tumble as they would were you contemplating for the first time the grandeur of Yosemite or the magnificence of Niagara, drinking in the immensity of the scene, not realizing whether you were standing upon terra firma, water or air; your heart full and your brain all awhirl with the thoughts of nature's magnificence and some one should take you by the elbow and offer you a bunch of Italian garlic. "Who is there with a soul so dead that they would rather in their avarice leave millions as a legacy with broken home influences than to leave the legacy of a pleasant, loving home, the recollections of which are never broken, for the silken, subtle, magnetic chords are only lengthened and oind together firmly that part of the family yet here, and the other part beyond the river, and beat in sweet harmony throughout life and leads them into united oneness in the glorious hereafter and keeps step to the music of love throughout the endless ages of eternity. Be careful, be sure that your homes are made pleasant both inside the house and out, so as to hold the least member of the family and the strongest as well as a glorious influence. Riches may take to themselves wings and fly away, fine gold may become dim and perish with its using but the home must stand always as the basis of good society, good government and the protector of our civic institutions."

With these treatments my hair grew 17 inches in two years. It had remained one length (four inches) for 15 years. What I did for my hair I am doing for hundreds of others, and will do for you with my Matchless Scientific Scalp Preparations. My treatment stops falling hair or breaking off, cures split ends, removes dandruff and scalp scurf, causes the hair to grow long, no matter how short; soft, no matter how harsh; thick, no matter how thin; straight from the bulbs, no matter how kinky. First treatment will show wonderful improvement. Do not wait if you are MRS. T. D. MRS. T. D. PERKINS MRS. T. D. PERKINS Scientific Scalp Specialist Phone Gallup 149 2 years after PAGE.13. Eggs for Mr. Griffen. Eighteen eggs for breakfast as fast as his wife could fry 'em, and then eggs for lunch—boiled, shirred, scrambled—and then 16 eggs for supper, all cooked into one long omelet—that is what John Griffen of Winsted, Conn., hankers after every day this spring. John likes eggs—he's not eating them on a bet, but just because he wants them. John says he has eaten seven young spring chickens in one day, and after his well authenticated egg record it is hardly to be doubted. Griffen says he can eat more eggs at one sitting than any man alive, and the hens on his farm are kept busy trying to cover his appetite. Forty-seven in a day is one notch that Griffen has set for other egg champions to reach, and then he was not half trying, says he. He only eats what he wants, and no more.

SAD DISAPPOINTMENT IN STORE. Robbers' Booty Merely a Large Bunch of "Stage Money." When Hall McAllister was playing in "Brewster's Millions" in Chicago, he was in the habit of running across the alley during his idle second act, to visit Jack Barrymore, who was playing "The Boys of Company B," in the theater next door. One night, as he started over, he thought of the $30,000 in stage money which he must have in the last act, and, to reassure himself, he opened his coat and took the package half out of his pocket. In another minute he found himself pushed hard against the door, the imitation money gone, and two figures disappearing in the darkness. "It nearly spoiled the play," says McAllister. "I had to give Brewster $85 in real money and the rest by check. But, after all," he added sympathetically, "perhaps even thugs have families to support."—Success Magazine. Taken Unawares. It is likely that the most embarrassed man could be found in a Sixth avenue store, says the New York Times. He was a mild, inoffensive looking man. He stood leaning over the balcony that surrounds the first floor of the store, looking with interest at the crowd below. Presently his eye alighted on a small boy who was being rushed from counter to counter in tow of a very large woman. Just as he looked down at the boy, the boy looked up at him. Instinctively perceiving, with diabolic instinct, what would be his own youthful propensity if he occupied a similar point of vantage, the boy struck a beseeching attitude and called out in imploring accents: "O, Mister, please, Mister, don't spit on me!" For a man with no intention of spitting on that particular boy or any one else the situation was certainly awkward, and the man retired in red-faced confusion. HOW TURKEY REGULATES AUTOS Stringent Provisions Made in the Land of the Sultan. The following instructions have been issued to the Turkish custom house authorities with regard to the introduction of automobiles into Turkey. The invoice price will be converted into piastres Medjidie at 19, and 15 per cent. will be added for packing and freight, if the freight is included in the invoice only ten per cent. will be added. On this total a discount of ten per cent. will be allowed and the duty will be levied on the remainder. As regards autos in transit, they will be allowed six months to pass through the country. A lead seal will be attached by the customs authorities to a prominent part of the machine, which until further orders, if unprovided with an invoice, will be estimated at a minimum of 25,000 or maximum of 40,000 piastres; on this amount ten per cent. will be taken for duty and only returned, less transit duty of one per cent., when the auto is leaving the country, against presentation of the original receipt given by the custom authorities, on which must figure the name of the proprietor, the builder, the numbers and any distinctive marks on the machine.

Inherent Capabilities the Foundation of Commanding Position. One hears it said that the rich compel the poor to work. To this Clemenceau has most wisely replied: The rich do not compel the poor to work; nature compels them to work. Work, the search for food, is the universal law of nature, imperatively laid on all, young and old, male and female alike; and lasting the whole lifetime. All that the rich do is to show the poor what to work at; and this they do, not because they are rich, for a rich fool cannot do it, but because they have the twofold power of seeing what is needed to be done and co-ordinating the powers to others to get it done. The poorest man in the country, if he have these two powers, will soon become rich. It is not capital that makes power effective; it is inherent power that makes capital effective. The richest men among us to-day began with no capital but their inherent power; and what we call capital is merely the register of that power, the evidence that the power has been exerted; but the inherent power is the real thing. Whatever form the state may have, we are, and always shall be, dependent on those who have the twofold power of seeing what is to be done and of co-ordinating workers to do it.—Harper's Weekly. DROVE DOG AWAY FROM HOME. Animal Was Jealous of Master's Affection for His Wife. "This here season bears hard on dawgs," said the sailor. "May I ask why?" the druggist politely inquired. "It's the weddin's," the sailor explained. "Dawgs is tender-heatred. When a master or mistress marries, they feel the estrangement. Jealousy breaks them all up. I tell ye, it's pitiful. "Wunst I got married in Cadiz. I had a little dawg at the time, and after the weddin' I naturally, to keep down expenses, moved over across the street to my father-in-law's. The dawg, of course, I took along. "You never see nothin' like that dawg's jealousy. I couldn't so much as squeeze my wife's hand without drivin' him half wild. I'm an affectionate man by nature. I guess I give him a good deal to stand for. Yet I tried to spare him. "One day, though, he caught me with my wife on my knee. He give me one look, turned, left the room without a sound. He went and got his bed. He dragged it down to the front door. He whined till we let him out. Then he went back to his old home across the street. "That was the last of him. He'd never reco'nize me any more." Paid Well for His Lodging. Turned away at first, but afterward given shelter, a tramp who came to the home of Daniel Bretano one night a short while ago saved the life of his host's wife and prevented the destruction by fire of the house in which he was stopping, according to an Altoona, Pa., special in the Philadelphia North American. The tramp asked lodging for the night and was refused. He returned and Bretano relented, providing a mattress for the stranger on the kitchen floor. At two o'clock in the morning Mrs. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Bretano arose and going to another portion of the house slipped and fell, upsetting a kerosene lamp, which exploded and set her clothing afire. The tramp heard her screams and beat the flames out with his hands. He then extinguished the burning carpet. In the morning the stranger left, refusing to accept a reward or even give his name. Constable Arrests Mayor. Seaford, Del., has a municipal muddle that would do for a comic opera plot. Mayor Robinson and Constable Steen could have the comedy leads and townsfolk, bailiffs, process servers and aldermen could make up the chorus. The constable has been owing the mayor money on a trade bill and recently the mayor tried to collect the account. So wroth was the constable at the impertinence of his honor that he had the mayor arrested for doing a collecting business without a license. The mayor protested and the constable pointed to his own ordinance recently passed, and quoted law and wound up by arresting the chief executive and haling him before a magistrate. The mayor was put under $100 bonds for breaking his own ordinance in trying to collect his own bill, while the constable now for the time being, is triumphant. why Bm Was Saved. George Barnes, a noted evangelist, tells an amusing story of the attempted conversion of a hard-fisted old mountaineer in Kentucky, who had resisted all missionary efforts directed toward him. "Bill" was extremely stubborn, and, in addition, possessed various other unlovely qualities that caused his neighbors much concern. A final attempt was made by a leading citizen to restore "Bill" to the faith of his childhood. ‘‘Bill,’’ said this well meaning man, “do you mean to tell me that you ain’t teched by the story of the Saviour that died to save your sins?” Whereupon “Bill” demanded aggressively: “Do you try to tell me that Jesus Christ died to save me when he never seed me and never knowed me?” ‘‘Bill,’’ responded the neighbor in disgust, “it wuz a ourned sight easier fur the Lord to die fur you because he never seed you than if he knowed you as well as we all do.”—Rochester 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.

Queer Flying Machines. “Talking of flying machines,” said the French professor, “Jacques de Vaucanson invented in the eighteenth century several flying machines. But they were very little. You may read all about them in D’Alembert and in the Biographie Universelle. One was a fly that would start from Vaucan- son’s hand, circle around a room and return to its starting point again. An- other was a pigeon that made circles in the air of 100 yards diameter. “Vaucanson’s automatons were in- credible. His best was a duck. The bird waddled about, and when it came to grain, picked it up and swallowed it. It muddied water with its beak as iducks always do, quacked and swam. \He made snakes that hissed, swal- owed frogs, crawled on the ground and coiled about your arm. All his secrets died with him. Otherwise we'd have been flying long ago.” Deaths from Anaesthetics. A question recently put to the secre tary of state from the home depart- ment as to how many deaths occurred during the year 1907 in the metropoli- tan area and in the other parts of England and Wales respectively from the effects of the administration of anaesthetics elicited the reply that the figures for the year 1907 were not yet available, but according to the ver- dicts of coroners’ juries and the cer- tificates of medical practitioners there were in the year 190% 64 deaths in London and 119 in the remainder of England and Wales caused by anaes- thetics administered for operations. It was stated that there appeared to be some reason to doubt whether the certificates on which these returns were based were in all cases complete and that there must necessarily some- times be difficulty in determining if death under an anaesthetic was caused by the anaesthetic. It was proposed, therefore, to make further inquiry in- to the matter—British Medical Jour- nal A Royal Cigarette Factory. “The Turkish sultan,” said a tobac- conist, “has for generations smoked the finest cigarettes in the world. Cigarettes like his, brought over here, would cost quite 25 cents apiece. “In the royal palace there has been from time immemorial a small cigar- ette factory—a light, airy room, a bale ef exquisite tobacco, one or two sim- ple hand-cutting machines, a half doz- en workmen of marvelous skill. Here the ‘cigarettes of the sultan are turned ‘out. “The best cigarette tobacco comes from Turkey, and the best of that best goes to the sultan. A hundredweight of leaves are rejected before a pound sufficiently fine and flawless is found for royal use.” A Prince as Farmer. Prince Eric of Denmark, the third son of Prince Waldemar and nephew of Queen Alexandra, is to have a prac- tical education in agriculture, and, so far from following the rule invariably “accepted by royal princes of entering the navy or army, he intends to be- come a farmer. Although only 17, the prince holds very decided views about his own country. He is convinced that agriculture is Denmark's staple indus- try, 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 man- ner on a big estate some distance from Copenhagen.

According to Everyday Housekeeping we may have three that are very pop ular. Potage a la Marceau: Ingredients— Two turnips, two dunces butter, one quart of broth or stock, a slice of pumpkin, a small piece of sugar, three tablespoonfuls of cream, some crou- tons of fried bread. Method—Chop up finely the turnips, and toss them in butter till they are a golden brown. Add to this the pumpkip boiled in the broth. Pass the soup through a sieve, adding to it a small piece of sugar, the cream, and croutons of bread fried a golden brown in butter. Potage a la d’Aumale: Ingredients —Twenty-four large mussels, a small bunch of parsley, one onion, three pints of beef broth, croutes of bread. Method—Scrape and wash the mus- sels. Cook them in water with the parsley and onion (sliced). Then take the mussels out of the shells and trim them. Place them in a soup tureen with the croutes of bread, which have previously been browned in the oven. Strain the broth and add to it a pint of boiling milk, sweetened with a lump of sugar. Pour the soup into the tureen containing the croutes and mussels and serve. Potage a la Colbert: Ingredients— Some spring vegetables, three poached eggs, tabasco or Worcestershire sauce, a few shreds of chervil, three pints of clear soup. Method—Cut a few spring vegetables into fancy shapes and boil them in salted water. Drain them and cook in the consomme. Just before serving the soup poach the eggs and place them in the tureen, also tha sauce. and some chopped chervil. World’s Largest University. First place among the universities of the world, in matter of mere num- bers, up to last year held by that of Berlin, has now been won by the Uni- versity of Paris, which had a student body of 16,609 in last summer's seme- ster. A report just presented states that the teaching staff consists of 285 professors and instructors.

Ordinarily, the sparrow is not an insect eater, but it has a most hospitable crop when it comes to the various pests of the flowers. For that reason, among others, the farmer's rose garden suffers small hurt from the various troubles that for long years seemed to infect it. Nowadays, he says no attention to the red and green spiders and the little green lice that are sure to make their appearance at a critical period in the rose's spring history, for he has come to know that the sparrow will do his work for him more effectually that he could for himself. The sparrow is prompter than the most energetic bill collector, and he cleans the bushes leaf by leaf and bud by bud with the utmost patience and industry. And so with the sweet peas. When their small enemies appear—and they make their appearance with the first buds—the sparrow is waiting for them, and with a cheerful industry worthy of emulation, cleans the vines and tender flower shoots, and puts them in order for those who would otherwise have a great deal of trouble with them, and all the pay he asks for is to build his nest in the gutters or in the eaves, or in the corners of awnings over the windows: And if you don't like the nests in the awnings, you have only to lower and raise them up again—and before you can eat dinner the nests will be replaced more snugly than before. Such is the merit of industry and genuine optimism.—Joel Chandler Harris, in Uncle Remus' Magazine. Canes for the Marine Corps. Of late practice new in this country has arisen among the men of the marine corps stationed at League island. Fully half of them now carry lines. Not the usual walkingstick that the civilian carries, but the short two-foot silver headed bamboo, just like that affected by the English soldier. They can be seen swinging along Market street, flourishing their diminutive canes and looking real English indeed. American soldiers have been remarkably free from affectations that are practiced by all foreign armies, but the marines, who visit many countries and see all kinds of people, must be expected to absorb some foreign ideas. The fad does not seem to do any harm and it lends a natty appearance to the best dressed branch of the American service. A Shave Instead of a Loaf. "I ought to get a shave before I go to the office," said the man who got up late, "but I'm afraid I won't have time. I guess I'll wait till noon." So many other men who overslept that morning decided to put their shaving off till noon that barber shops in the business district were swamped with customers at luncheon time. "That's getting to be a common thing," said a boss barber. "The middle of the day used to be a time for loafing, but now we are kept hustling from 12 o'clock till 2." Hard to Please.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. DISTURBED THE BOY'S SLUMBER. Inconvenience of Using the Backlog as a Sleeping Place. An old mountain preacher used to tell of a lawyer, a friend of his, who lived at the county seat of a mountain county. Back in the hills somewhere lived one of his clients, whom he had occasionally entertained with the ready hospitality of Kentucky. When he left, the client always invited the lawyer to come to see him when in his neighborhood. Business called the lawyer back into the hills one winter day, and late in the afternoon he found himself in the vicinity of his client. He decided to accept the oft-repeated invitation. After inquiry, he found the shack one of the poorest he had ever seen. As there was no sign of barn or shed, he blanketed his horse and hitched him in the lee of the house. His warm welcome was genuine, but supper was in accord with the surroundings, and at bedtime he was conducted to the loft, which he found bare of beds, but well filled with partly dried cornstalks. He was bidden to make his bed on* the fodder. His overcoat furnished inadequate protection. After a short nap, he wakened, stiff with cold. He remembered the big fireplace with the backlog, and decided to go down-stairs and start the fire. The coals brightened as he stirred them and added kindling. The sparks and smoke began their ascent, when the guest noticed a strange commotion at the back of the fireplace. This stopped when the oldest son of the family, covered with soot and ashes, scrambled from the backlog, where he had gone to sleep for the night.—Youth's Companion. BEGINNING OF HER LIFE'S WORK. Breaking the Filly for the First Time to Harness. She was very young to be tried out in harness, but her trainer was holding the ribbons over her nevertheless. She was rearing and plunging all over the place, as far as the checked lines would allow her to go, and her little shoes pawed the air and tried to dig into the concrete for all they were worth. And half a dozen "rail birds" watched the trial trot, never taking their eyes off her and looking daggers at anyone who got between them and the young one. She happened to be as pretty a little two-year-old lassie as one would find in the five boroughs and was dressed in a big floppy white hat with a little jacket and skirt of white and red. Her little legs were covered with white stockings and her tiny feet with tanned-colored ankle-strap shoes. Her mother kept her safely in spite of her gurgling plunges toward the edge of the subway platform, by the aid of a stout set of red and white harness, with silver' bells on the breast strap, that the child wore. And six ablebodied men stood around the lassie in a ring watching her and wearing the cheerfulest grins you could have seen in all the town. She had begun her lifework of making victims.—New York Press. Wild Birds Unmolested.

Clouds did not scare the people away from the picnic of the soda dispensers. They were there in plenty and had a big time until early morning when cars had been provided to take them home. There was nothing lacking, as is usual with their entertainments. The committee sent out by the Business League to arrange for the establishment of a negro colony in this state had a meeting here Monday. The outside attendance comprised O. T. Jackson and Rev.

Camp Starks has come and gone. Beginning last Friday and continuing up to yesterday there were military tactics a-plenty out at Jefferson park, where the Uniform Rank Battalion of the State of Colorado was in camp. Nine tents sheltered 25 men and entertained a steady stream of visitors. G. C. Sample was the major in charge of the battalion. Col. J. P. Miller, who is in command of the jurisdiction; Col. Greenleaf, Adj. W. H. Lee, Captains Pash, Butler, Cooley, Lieutenants Williams, Martenia, Herndon and Howard and Redick of Pueblo were the commissioned officers. Miles Ledbetter, commissariat, was the hardest worked man on the grounds, and Assistant Surgeon Westbrook had absolutely nothing to do among so many robust knights. The social side of the encampment was such as to please many visitors, and the wives and sweethearts left behind by the gallant Pythians made pilgrimages to the encampment. --- J. W. TAYLOR C. S. MUS H. W. HINLE The military side of it was full of dress parades, field practice drills, sword exercises, instructions, skirmishing, guard mounting. The officers made military maps of the country, the privates are now experts in "right low parry." Mrs. O. C. Goens and her guest, Miss Carrie Boyer of Indianapolis, have returned from a visit to Colorado Springs. Tiger Shooting Records. By accounting for seven tigers with his own gun during a recent shoot in Gwalior Lord Minto, viceroy of India, has accomplished a feat of which the most successful big game shooters might well be proud, although he has not rivaled the sensational performances of a Mr. Walker, who when deputy commissioner at Nimar, actually killed four tigers in ten minutes. F. C. Selous, who has a phenomenal record as a slaughterer of big game, once brought down three full grown lions in four shots, while his bag includes more than a hundred elephants, nearly all of which he shot on foot, and twice as many buffaloes. In four years (1877 to 1880) Mr. Selous killed 100 buffaloes, 20 elephants, 13 lions, and over 500 other big game, ranging from giraffes (18) to zebras and antelopes. Sir Robert Harvey's guns have wrought terrible havoc in many parts of the world, from Africa and India to Iceland. EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M.

The forepart of the evening he spoke on the Chautauqua at Boulder and his desire to have a day set apart for the negro, to be known as negro day, in which he was most successful, but was disappointed because he could not get the speaker he wanted, namely Bishop Grant, who is very ill at present.
