GLOSE TROTTING BY LABEL, How to Travel ’Round the World for Fifty Cents. if you wish to travel ‘round the world on 50 cents there is a London portmanteau maker who can enable you to do it. For the small sum men- tioned you can buy a ticket which en- titles you to claim to have traveled from Hongkong to Hobart, New Zea- land, or elsewhere, and you can visit, en route, Paris, Rome, Monte Carlo, or any other mortal place. Many Americans going to England take ad- vantage of this marvelous system. All you need in order to accomplish this marvelous journey is a bunch of labels, with the name of the various cities to which you wish people to think you have been. Paste these con- spicuously on your trunk, your grip bag, your camera, hat box and on the blanket of your “bull pup” if you sport one—and presto—you emerge before the eyes of the public as a full-fledged globe trotter. The selling of “traveled labels” to untraveled travelers is a thriving busi- ness in London, Paris and other of the big European centers. You can buy a whole set of labels covering a certain route. If you wish your friends to think you have just come from the Ri- viera you can get plenty of labels for Monte Carlo, Nice, Cannes and other resorts. If you prefer a trip down the Rhine you can be as easily and as promptly accommodated. Said a label vendor in the Strand: “L let out portmanteaux fully labeled for any trip you like to take. Some people like to stick on their own as sortment of labels,” continued my in- formant, “while others prefer trunks, gripbags and boxes plastered all over, The more a trunk or a grip is worn and belabeled, the better some folks seem to like it, and much of our tray- eled stock that seems as if it could not stand another public appearance is in great demaud. “We have one fully labeled ‘globe- trotting’ bag that brings in $2.50 for two weeks, but the usual charge is from 60 to 75 cents a week. When our customers take these bags away they are always pretending to lose them and doing other things that attract at- tention toward them. In one way the bags pay for themselves. That is, the Jandladies and tmarding house keepers at the summer resorts are always im- pressed by them, and they seem to give their possessors a sort of pres- tige.” IT 1S A FIDDLE CHURCH VANE. Reminder of the Builder's Early Days of Poverty. One of the most curious vanes to be seen on any church in Great Brit- ain is at Great Gonerby, a parish ad- joining Grantham. It is in the form of a fiddle and a bow and is unusually large. Its his- tory is curious. Many years ago a peasant resided in Great Gonerby who eked out a modest livelihood by per- forming on an old violin which was almost a part of his life. At last he decided to emigrate and out in the far west prospered and became a rich man. One day he sent to the clergyman at Great Gonerby a sum sufficient to build a church and attached to the sift the curious condition that a metal replica of his old fiddle and bow should be on the summit of the edifice. The sift was accepted and the vane may still be seen on the church, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. PAPAL LORE IN COIN SERIES THAT EXTENDS OVER A THOUSAND YEARS. Adrian |. the First Head of Church to Circulate Currency—Leo XIII. Was the Last—Rare Types Are Illustrated. Not the least interesting of the pope’s jubilee gifts was the unique gold coin of Pope Innocent IX., which, recently exhumed at Acqui, Italy, was contended for by coin collectors, King Victor Emmanuel being an unsuccess- ful competitor. This coin, the only one in existence of the reign of Innocent IX., was need- ed to make the Vatican collection of papal coins complete. The papal coins exhibit the portraits ‘of many of the popes and their coats of arms, and furnish metallic history of the coinage of the church from the first issues in the latter part of the eighth century down to 1870, when the papal states were annexed to Italy and the papal mint ceased operations. The papal series of coins is one of the very longest, covering 1,136 years. The first pope to issue coins was Ad- rian I. The coing of Europe were then largely in imitation of those of the Byzantine empire, whose gold byzants were generally used throughout the continent, and the coin of Pope Ad- rian was a fair example of the coinage of the times. It showed a full face portrait, presumably of St. Peter, on the obverse, surrounded by the inscrip- tion “Hadrianus P. P.” and the cross on the reverse, very much after the style of the Byzantine pieces. Many of the early issues of the popes show the name of the reigning pope and a représentation of either St. Peter or St. Paul. Perhaps no se- ries of coins shows a greater variety of design or more skillful execution. The church, always a patron of the arts, employed the foremost artists of the time, and some of the coins are from the hands of such men as Cellini and Francia. A gold seudo of Julius IL, the de- sign of which is credited to Francia, shows a finely engraved portrait of the pope, with the inscription: “Julius Pontifex Maximus.” A coin of Alex- ander VIL, attributed to Paolo, shows on the reverse the crossed keys and crown, perhaps one of the first of the papal coins to bear this device. The coins of the popes were struck in many places, including Rome, Bo- logna, Avignon, Perugia, Terni, San Severino and Gaeta. One of the inter- esting pieces of the Roman mint was a silver ducat of Clement VII. This piece, irregular in shape, was struck in 1527, when Rome was in a state of siege. On the obverse are shown the arms and title of Pope Clement, with the word “Ducato” inclosed by a wreath on the reverse. To this same pope is credited a jubilee five sequin piece in gold, struck in 1525, It ig not unlikely. that the latter piece wag en- graved by Cellini. Work in Intense Heat. “Persons who complain of the heat when’ the thermometer reaches the nineties,” said a steamship engineer, “seldom think of the discomforts of men employed in gas works, in blast furnaces and in steamships, where the fireraen have to endure an atmosphere ranging from 118 to 140 degrees, In all these and many other places where big Pollers are located tne men wear very little clothing, and while they un- doubtedly suffer from the exposure, they do not feel the heat as much as might be supposed. The explanation of this fact is that these men are not reached by the humidity. They are working in places where the artificial heat is so intense as to drive out the humidity, and 118 or more degrees of heat in a pure, dry air is not felt as much as a mixture of 90 degrees of heat and 80 per cent of humidity, that tells on people and sorely tries their vitality.” Inconsolable. The surges crashed mournfully in the darkness against the old plier. “This blow,” he said, “is one from which, alas, I shall not recover. Never. more will I look upon the face of wom- an save in bitterness and sorrow.” The young girl, profoundly moved, said in gerftle tones: “Do not take my refusal so to heart, Mr. Mannering, Harold. There are lots of nice girls left, I assure you. ! know one at the Surf house who would suit you precisely, She is pret- ty, amiable, clever—" “Has she got any money?” he in- terrupted. Very Steep Railway. What claims to be the steepest rail way line in the world is that recently opened near Bozen, in the Tyrol. The Mendel railway, with a gradient of 64 in 100, and the Vesuvian, with 63, have hitherto held the record. But the new line in its steepest part rises 70 in 100 and in other parts 66. It leads up the monntainside to Vir- sil Terrace, on the River Eisach. The system employed is that of the elec- trical wire rope and the ascent is made at the rate of five feet a second, or five minutes for the whole distance. The car of four compartments carries o2 passengers. Tonnage of World Fleet. The tonnage of the world’s mer- chant shipping fleet, according to the latest returns, is 37,554,017 tons.

They were on their honeymoon and were climbing the Schnupfelgapfen- spitzent Peak, and she stood above him some 20 feet. “What ho!” he gasped. “What do you see?” “Far, far below,” she cried, “I see a long, white streak, stretching like a paper ribbon back almost to our hotel!” “Ha, ha!!” he ejaculated. “I'll bet it's that blessed hotel bill overtaking us!" And they proceeded onward and upward.—New Haven Register Household Reform. The reform that applies itself to the household must not be partial. It must correct the whole system of our social living.

The book agent seldom tells a joke at his own expense, but here is one re- cently related by one of the much ma- | ligned fraternity: “LT had been in poor health,” said this particular book agent, “and had been advised to go to the mountains of Eastern Tennessee to recuperate. To kill two birds with one stone I took along some specimens of an encyclo- -pedia I had on my Ust, thinking I might possibly get a few orders. The | first person I stacked up against was a typical mountaineer, He was sitting in the sun in front of his shack, watch ing his wife do the family washing at a little brook that flowed in front of the house. He listened attentively while I got off my little speech. He al- lowed he could get along without an encylopedia. “Then I started afresh, and I saw he was getting a trifle bored. ‘Why, sir, no family is complete without this book,’ I exclaimed. “*"Tain't hugh?’ he drawled. ‘What you-all consider a complete family? See them ‘ere young ‘uns a-playin’ about?’ “I nodded. ““‘How many d’ye see?’ he de. manded. “I counted nine. “There's two more at school,’ he said, ‘an’ three boys a-workin’ down on the new raflroad cut. How many do that make?’ “Fourteen,’ I said. “Then he commenced to call his dogg. ‘See them hounds?’ he asked. “I saw them, ’ “*Wall, they’s six o’ them, an’ three more offen in the woods. How many do that make?’ “T told him nine. “So no fam'ly is complete without that ‘ere book, eh?’ he ruminated. “Pears to me fo'teen children an’ nine dawgs is a pu'ty complete fam'ly, an’ I hev. managed to struggle along with- out it so fur.” OFFICE KID STUMPED STUDENTS. Wisdom-Seeking German Fails to Con nect with Queer Lingo, The commuters on one of the New Jersey railroads have been much in- terested during the past summer in the efforts of a young German to in crease his English vocabulary by means of scraps of conversation over. heard on the train and boat. He lis tens with strained attention to what those near him are saying, and when he hears an unfamiliar word or expres sion searches for {t rapidly in a lit Ue pocket dictionary he carries, and evidently cons it over to himself un- til he has learned ft, The other day he stood behind two youths, evidently office boys, who were discussing their employer. “You'd better get on the job,” warned the older of the two. “The chief's got wise to your loafin’ since the fellers tipped him off.” “Grouchy, is he?’ inquired the other, indifferently. “Yep, he's got a grouch all right, all right, and there'll be a noise like a fire for you if you don't get a move on.” The leaves of the dictionary flut tered wildly for a moment, Then, with a gesture of despair, the young forelgner put the book in his pocket, He evidently thought English idioms hopeless, FOR BROKEN HEART FOR BROKEN HEART VARYING LAWS IN BREACH OF PROMISE CASES. Not Easy for Jilted Damsel to Recover Damages from Faithless Swain —Practical Arrangement Prevails in Germany. England is the best place—from the plaintiff's point of view—for a breach of promise action. All other countries seem to regard with grave suspicion any attempt to recover monetary compensation for the loss of a prospective husband, and unless the plaintiff has a strong case indeed it is never worth her while to carry her grief into the law courts, says Tit-Bits. In France breach of promise cases are rare for the simple reason that the law requires the plaintiff to prove that she has suffered pecuniary loss. Now this is not an easy thing to do on the part of the lady, especially in a country where a girl without a dot—that is a marriage portion—has a poor chance of finding a husband. Holland and Austria have adopted the French system, and the result has been about the same. Breach actions are rare, the injured damsels or their relatives usually taking the law into their own hands. Practical Germany, as might be expected, has perhaps the best method for solving this problem. When a young couple become engaged they have to go through a public betrothal ceremony that ought to knock all the shyness out of them. In the local town hall the pair declare their affection, willingness to marry, etc., ending by signing a collection of documents that apparently leave no loophole for escape. But if either party to the contract wishes to withdraw another journey is undertaken to the town hall and another collection of documents signed, witnessed and sealed. Then the authorities determine the question of compensation—should it be claimed. In this connection it may be said that the man can, and often does, claim a solatium for his wounded feelings. The usual award is one-fifth of the marriage dowry. It is easy to understand, when all this is remembered, how loath the young people of Germany are to break their betrothal oaths. As the law of Italy offers little or no protection whatever to jilted damsels and swains it is not surprising that the stiletto should be the favorite mode of deciding breach of promise cases. The Italian law demands that the person suing for "breach" shall produce a written promise to marry from the defendant; otherwise the action cannot proceed. This difficulty is almost insurmountable, and the Italian judges are seldom troubled to adjudicate between one-time lovers. To bring an action for breach of promise of marriage against a reigning monarch is an achievement, but it has been done, and by an English lady. It is now 15 years since Miss Jenny Mighell sued the sultan of Johore, and as there was a doubt whether the dusky one was actually a reigning monarch the case was allowed to come into court. But the judge quickly disposed of the action by ruling it inadmissible for the reason referred to and Miss Mighell was nonsuited. It is remarkable that one of the two actions which have brought verdicts of £10.000 each to plaintiffs should THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO have had for its defendant the editor of a matrimonial paper. The second case was between a well-known actress and the eldest son of an earl. Hawk's Fight for Young. When Christian Lehneis, superintendent of the Egg Harbor cemetery, entered the grounds recently he heard a noise in one of the lots surrounded by cedars. Investigating, he was attacked by a large chicken hawk, which was feeding five young ones. With no weapons to protect himself, Lehneis was compelled to flee, but he came to town and got his gun. When he returned the hawk and its young had disappeared. Later in the afternoon he again came across the hawk family, and the old bird charged him again, but this time he was prepared and killed it. The hawk was a large specimen, measuring four feet across the wings. Egg Harbor City Correspondence Philadelphia Record. Couldn't Believe It.

"I had a conversation the other day," said a well-to-do citizen to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, "with a man who undertook the discussion of the currency question and had a pet theory on the best management of the government finances, in order to prevent a recurrence of the recent panic." "My friend is unfortunately of very limited resources, has a large family, a small salary, and, as I happen to know, often has difficulty in adjusting means to ends. This fact, however, does not prevent his theorizing on the country's financial condition, and he can tell anybody who will listen exactly what the government ought to do and what the banks ought to do, and how the two ought to co-operate, in order to provide an elastic system of currency which would make our finances as strong as Gibraltar. "The conversation reminded me of an incident which occurred a few years ago in London, concerning a man who occupied a little back room in a·poor quarter of the east end. He was evicted for non-payment of rent. He had nothing but a valise and a few clothes, and while they were throwing him and his belongings out of the house a bulky manuscript fell out of his pocket. Nobody noticed it at the time, but after he had gathered his clothes and taken his departure, one of the bystanders saw the big roll of paper, picked it up, and on opening it, was surprised and amused to find it contained an elaborate scheme for refunding the national debt of the British empire."

FOR CATALOG AND SPECIAL INFORMATION, ADDRESS DEAN OF DEPARTMENT. NEW TOWN MODEL FILIPINO VILLAGE IS RUN IN YANKEE FASHION. General Bliss' Report of Conditions in Dependencies Tells of Efforts to Give Natives a Clean Municipality. Within earshot of the bugles of Uncle Sam and on the opposite side of the Agus river from the military post of Camp Keithley, District of Lanao, Moro Province, P. I., has sprung up the town of Dansalan, which Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, U. S. A., in his annual report says is probably "the first and only instance in the Philippine islands of the establishment of an orderly and well-regulated community after the manner followed by the Anglo-Saxon settlers of the United States." His description of its beginning throws an instructive sidelight upon the strange land "laws" of the country, and shows how things often have to be done there outside the pale of the law to obtain results that are demanded by the needs of the people. The new town grew out of the necessity of removing the settlement of squatters at Marahui on the military reservation of Camp Keithley. After much deliberation they decided to transfer themselves from the northern to the eastern shore of Lake Lanao They then raised by voluntary subscription the sum of 3,000 pesos, which they placed in the hands of a committee of three Americans of their number, who negotiated with the Moros for an eligible site near enough to the military reservation to be assured of some protection, and purchased it. The site was then carefully laid out, and in accordance with a previous agreement lots were sold at public auction to an amount sufficient to reimburse the subscribers of the original purchase price of the site. The remaining lots were then deeded to the town to be sold to new settlers. "This well-considered, orderly and sensible procedure is, strange to say, in its entirety without sanction of law," the report admits. "Neither the datto, with whom the settlers negotiated, nor any of his followers had proved nor could prove title under existing laws. Neither the individual settlers nor the town could acquire title through the datto. But the datto and all his followers believed that the land belonged to him under Moro law or customs and that he could dispose of it as he did. If the settlers had not recognized these believed rights of his, if they had camped upon the site as being waste, unoccupied, uncultivated public land and should have proceeded to acquire title under the provisions of the land law whenever the latter should be made to apply, without compensation to the Moros, they would have brought on a war. There can be no doubt that their recognition of the fact that the Moro was there with his gun and his spear, and that his gun and spear (in the absence of a greater number of opposing guns) gave him a valid title for which they had to negotiate, was the only sensible, civilized and just thing for them to do. No doubt the rights they have thus acquired will in due time be confirmed." A narrow-minded stickler for equity might in this instance, as probably in many others, have brought on hostilities which the tact of an army officer was able to avoid. A novel feature in this case is that the mass of the settlers are not Anglo-Saxon with a long inheritance of the principles of independent and self-governing village life, but are Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos and Moros who, without hesitation, submitted themselves to the domination and guidance of a few Americans. "It is an illustration of what would happen could a sufficient number of American settlers of the old sturdy stock—just such as those who are already here—be induced to settle in the province." In the country occupied by the Tirurayes south of Cotabato Gen. Bliss finds a territory especially inviting to the investor. The people are teachable, and with kind and just treatment, would become reliable laborers. No white man, however, should invest either his own labor or his capital without assurance of this native labor. The people are kindly disposed toward the white men, which cannot be said of the Moros, who, paradoxically, "like the white man's government, which is just and firm, but have no liking for the white man himself."

It would be interesting to know from how many little wilderness stations in the north there goes each spring, to eager business and professional men in the large cities, the message that the ice is out. If one could measure and sum up all the pleasure of those who take the message for their marching orders, and all the increment of health and strength that comes to them by virtue of their annual fishing trips, it would make the world seem a very cheerful place. The charm of fishing, for the normal man, is so deeply rooted that it can be accounted for only by regarding it as a reawakening of primeval instinct. When a fly bobs down the rapids, or a worm drops into the hole below the big boulder, a racial memory older than history comes to life, and the cashier of the First National becomes blood-brother to the skin-clad savage who made the first hook from a bone or piece of shell. To the savage, fishing was earning a livelihood, getting a dinner. The fish he caught was the wages he received for working at his job. To his descendant of to-day, "fishing" is far more. It is a return for a time to natural conditions, where the sun touches the skin and water wets the feet, and clothes are friends which serve, not masters to be considered. The fish himself is not the most important, or even an essential thing—until he is hooked. But when the tug comes on the line and the fly disappears, and a thrill runs up and down the back-bone till the very toes tingle, then he becomes suddenly the most important thing in the world; and his appearance later, if, happily, he so appears, in an overcoat of cornmeal, browned crisp and piping hot from the pan—this confirms the impression of his importance, and crowns with reason the absurd business of catching him. The wholesome sentiment which would protect all animal life from cruelty has lately been showing a tendency to lapse into unwholesome sentimentality, says the Youths' Companion. There are those who regard all fishermen as monsters, and look upon a school of mackerel as an educational institution. Alas for the boys of to-morrow if this creed spreads! A Bird's Vanity. The canary bird sang so loud and clear that the three men, in their shirt sleeves on the lawn, could not keep track of their argument. Disconnectedly and without meaning amid the music floated in the air such words as "anti-injunction plank," "equality of opportunity," "the trusts," "yellow dog funds," and "a square al." "Drat that bird," said the host. "I'll fix him." And he got a little mirror and set it in the cage. The canary stood before the mirror and was silent. He gazed with rapture at himself. He breathed deep, like Miss Allen in her "Salome" dance, and, like the beautiful girl before the saint's head, so the bird before the mirror was seized with shivering fits that ran all over him. "He's stuck on himself," said the host. "As long as I leave the mirror there he won't budge from it, even to eat. Now, as I was saying—" And soon a great hubbub arose over "terrific revision."

Twentieth Century Sorceress Who Has Surprised Civilized Humanity. Is it possible that witches still exist and find credulous victims to cozen and fleece? It is true the voodoo woman may be found in the south and the medicine man is not yet extinct among the Indian tribes, yet they are believed to be survivals only possibly among the uncivilized of the negro and Indian people, says the Springfield Republican. Yet the real witch with the caldron in which she brews her magic philters, with her spells and curses, are things so wholly of the past that it is a shock to read of a sorceress having been arrested in fair Perugia. Perhaps the account is the invention of a newspaper reporter bound to produce a sensation for the benefit of his journal. However that may be, the story is a good one. It sets forth, with a due care for details, the maze of alleys in a suburb of the city, where a house whose doors are closed to all but women who seek powerful love potions to bring back the affections of lost lovers, or fatal drafts that shall properly preserve faithless husbands—shelters a famous sorceress. Rumors having got about concerning the unholy rites and ceremonies practiced in that house, the police, so the story goes, gain admittance through a pretext, seize the witch and search the premises and find its walls hung with mysterious symbols, human skulls and bones, heads of various animals, strange weapons, many books of evil import, full of incantations and spells and other aids such as witches are supposed to use. The woman, who was old and supposed to be fabulously wealthy, was seized and all her paraphernalia collected and conveyed away for trial and all Perugia, and presumably Italy, is supposed to be in a state of suspense until the worst is known. Supposing this tale true, what would be an adequate punishment for a witch? In the good old times, so much lamented, there would have been but one end possible. The witch would have been burned at the stake. But in 1908 a term of imprisonment is probably the worst that could happen, and that would be a flat ending of the story. But the days of what is called romance are over. Novels and the Digestion. Should you read novels at meals or should you talk? Which is the better for digestion? There's a common subject for hot-weather discussion on piazzas of summer hotels. One person says: "Don't read at meals, especially an exciting novel, as it interferes indirectly with digestion. One's mind is fixed intently on the book, when all attention should be given to the process of mastication; consequently the blood which should be helping digestion is rushed from the head." "A tranquil condition of mind and body is needed to insure perfect digestion. I think it is far better for one to dine in company. When the diner talks he naturally prolongs the meal, thus giving more time for the food to be digested." An Italian prince has a plan to reach the north pole by aeroplane. The man with the steam roller is invited to submit his scheme. It ought to command a hearing. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD Marriage and Sacrifice. Marriage, unless to the rich, necessarily entails many little sacrifices. The modern bachelor most misses his little week-end trips to seaside and golf links when he enters the ranks of the benedict. Week-ending is an expensive habit and young couples, even if they can afford it, are much wiser to settle down quietly in their early married life and make a real home. Unless they do this in the beginning "home, sweet home" will never be an accomplished fact. It takes two to make a home and there is no time like the first years of marriage for making a real "nest" home to last through life. Japanese Army Promotions. In the matter of efficiency reports and promotions it is noted that in the Japanese army there is a book for each officer, which he is privileged to see and in which are recorded remarks as to his progress and efficiency in each rank, so that it is known whether he is fit for promotion or not as he rises in the service; and, consequently, a selection committee does not exist in Japan. In this way any officer would be aware of his chances of rising to high rank, as only those whose records were good would succeed, the duffer going out automatically. A Searchlight Problem. Mrs. Bertha Ayrton has succeeded in ascertaining the cause of the refractory behavior of the searchlight in certain respects and is devising a remedy. The British admiralty called on Prof. Ayrton to investigate the trouble some time ago. After making many investigations he turned the problem over to his wife, who is the only woman member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and who received the only medal ever awarded to a woman by the Royal Society of London for original unaided work. The Trail It Leaves. "And methought the air grew denser," quoted the professor in literature. "Now what do we learn from this?" "That the automobile was common in Poe's time," answered a practical member of the class. Within the last few weeks The Statesman has sent notices to many of its out-of-town subscribers of their indebtedness. A recent order of the Post Office Department, regulating the matter admissable to second-class mail privileges, compels all newspapers to keep its subscription lists paid up. Many have responded to our letters, and the few who have not done so will please do so at once. It is essential that we conform to the postal regulations and we can easily do so with the co-operation of our patrons. Let each one who received a letter from us make acknowledgment of it today.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. How the Blanche Ferry Sweet Pea Was Brought to Perfection. There is an interesting story told by Paul Kirk in a recent issue of the Housekeeper, concerning the accidental discovery of the Blanche Ferry sweet pea. The story is this: The daughter of a farmer in Jefferson county, N. Y., married a quarryman who neglected her, forcing her to live a starved and miserable existence in a small home over some limestone ledges. After a while the woman became a mother, and then death came and claimed the child. The mother took the body back to her own childhood home—one of the most beautiful in New York—for burial. When the funeral was over, the mother, stricken with grief, gathered from the old farm place a few seeds of the old Painted Lady sweet pea. These seeds she carried away with her to the poor little home by the stone quarry. There she planted them. They flowered, and the mother saved some of the seed for another season's planting. From year to year, in this manner, the flowers were perpetuated and the memory of the child was kept beautiful. After 15 or 20 years the flowers had undergone a change—had taken on a new beauty, as fine as the sorrowing mother's devotion. They no longer resembled the old Painted Lady blossoms. The thin poor soil, with its large element of lime, had dwarfed the vine, but in compensation had given more abundant flowers, larger and brighter colored. Mr. Tracy, of the government department of agriculture, while looking after some seed crops in the vicinity, saw and admired the flowers, learned their history, secured some of the seed, and later sent them out to the world as the Blanche Ferry sweet pea. Out of the sorrow and hardship of the lonely mother by the quarryside had come about the development of a flower of exquisite beauty, which has since brought pleasure to millions and added beauty to countless homes. Good Enough for Him. A country lad was invited by a town friend to attend a concert with him. As they were on their way to the concert hall the boy from the country suddenly stopped and asked the price of admission. "Well," replied his friend, "the front seats are 50 cents each; the back seats 25 cents each and the program ten cents each." "I'll sit in a program," said the country lad. Burdened with Wealth. "Did you try counting sheep for your insomania?" "Yes, doc, but I made a mess of it. I counted 10,000 sheep, put 'em on cars and shipped 'em to market.

Presiding Elder Hubbard had full sway at Shorter's Chapel Sunday and did much credit to himself by his strong sermons. The quarterly conference was all that could be expected socially and religiously. Rev. Ward called the congregation's attention to and strongly urged each member to become a committee of one to inquire about the absentees. Otherwise the day was success all through and through, especially when Rev. Payne carried away the audience with his enthusiastic and joyful singing. Rev. Ward leaves soon for conference and a full rounded out report is what he hopes to carry. The People's Sunday Alliance, after spending its summer vacation, will convene its sessions at the old place, 1712 Curtis. The public is invited to attend. Dr. J. A. Harper will preside.

If at any time in Denver complete happiness reigned supreme it was last Monday night when the "Jolly Ten," an organization composed of ten of the handsomest and most prominent young ladies in our city gave their social dance. Everything was up-to-date, everybody was happy and jolly and the persons not dancing enjoyed the dance as much as the performers. The I. G. A. girls were greatly in evidence and were known by their colors, while the girls of other organizations, though less in numbers, were strong in enthusiasm. With suspended letters o. "Be Jolly" in one shade of their colors placed at one end of the room and "All the Time" suspended in the rear of the room with colored ribbons of white and pale blue interlacing the letters, with the hall brilliantly lit up, and with merriment on all sides, undoubtedly the "Jolly Ten" that evening had the "cup of jollity" mortgaged. Many visitors were in attendance, Messrs. Wadell and Roberts of Colorado Springs were there. The "Jolly Ten" truly represented in deed, thought and society their name and motto, "Everybody Be Jolly All the Time." Rev. Chas. W. Holmes, pastor of Scott's M.

A very pleasant sight and a hopeful sign, too, is where a father and son are friends. Neither can have a better one, if he is a real one, nor a more enjoyable one if they understand one another, which is easy to do. There is more health, outlook, joy and profit in that sort of companionship than they can form in the busy walks of life. Neither the authority of the father nor the respect of the son need be sacrificed to sustain this relation. These blend together, when they occupy the middle ground of friendship, and become kindness and courtesy. But the practical effect of such companionship, if contained by the father with a kindly common sense, is a real education for the boy, for it directs his life toward affairs that have worth and meaning to them. This does not mean that there is to be no folly or fun, but that it is not all to be folly and fun; that there are to be times of reflection, taking account of things and figuring out the real value of events.—Ohio State Journal. Getting Out of Tight Place. When the late William Windom, secretary of the treasury, dropped dead at a chamber of commerce dinner in New York some years ago, just as he was speaking, there were but two reporters present, says the Saturday Evening Post. The others had written their stories, sent down their copy and the text of the speeches, and gone to more interesting places. In one newspaper office the news did not get in until a minute before time for going to press. Two columns of Windom's speech were in type in the form. As it was too late to make over and catch the mails, an enterprising editor wrote: "The Hon. William Windom dropped dead at the chamber of commerce dinner last night. If he had not dropped dead he would have spoken as follows:" Thus it stood until they could make over. Church Tower His Pulpit. Sunday last being "Feast Sunday," the vicar of Selston, the Rev. C. Harrison, hit upon the novel idea of preaching from the church tower. The greater part of the congregation seated themselves in the churchyard, while many stood on the highway. The reverend gentleman took as his text, "The Builders and the Towers," and, possessing a strong voice, his remarks were heard distinctly by the large crowd of colliers and others gathered together, the weather being all that could be desired.—London Evening Standard. The Whistling Boy. Any one who has listened to a burst of wild applause in an English theater knows that after the din has increased, and the storm risen to a certain height of intensity, it is certain that some boy in the gallery (and may heaven bless him!) will insert two fingers in his mouth and oblige with that demonstration known as the "death shriek." It is most effective. It gives a finishing touch, it shows that the climax has been reached, it is the last word in the way of friendly or unfriendly demonstration. Mental Reservations. "Do you expect people to believe all you tell them in a campaign?" "Ne," answered Senator Sorghum. "And on the other hand they mustn't expect me to tell them all I believe." THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. The oldest lighthouse in England—Leasowe light, on the Wirral shore—has just been closed after a notable service of 150 years. It is seven stories high and of massive masonry, founded, strange to say, on cotton. This was taken from a wreck in the neighborhood and was regarded as the best substance for a foundation in sand. How well it has served is shown by the history of the lighthouse. This, by the way, was damaged by fire in 1765, and as a result of the investigation the sale of intoxicating liquor in lighthouses was forbidden. For the last ten years Leasowe has been the only lighthouse in the world, it is said, kept and tended by women. Home of the Fez. Fez, where Mulai Hafid is reported to have been making hay of electric light fittings and everything else that has the taint of Europe, has given its name to the familiar Turkish equivalent of a hat. At one time all fezzes came from Fez, it being supposed that only there could the exact crimson dye required be obtained. It is curious that the name of an agricultural implement has thus been appropriated by headgear; for fez, or fas, means in Arabic a hoe. The favorite story is that Idrees II., the founder of the city, turned the first sod with one, remarking: "Here I plant my fas." Another version is that an older city called Saf once stood there and Idrees simply transposed its name. Forbids Foreign Education. The Prussian courts have just decided that it is illegal for a Prussian subject to send his children to foreign schools. An inhabitant of the town of Arnsberg, in Westphalia, sent his 13-year-old daughter to school in Brussels. For this he was summoned before the local court and sentenced to a fine. On appeal the sentence was confirmed by the higher court. Any Prussian sending his child to a boarding school abroad is therefore committing an offense and is liable to punishment. —Berliner Tageblatt. A Big Proposition.

The very latest thing in Paris is the lemonade bath. It is supposed to be cooling, refreshing and beneficial. A pretty Parisian actress has instituted the fashion of letting her friends see her take a lemonade plunge. In a charming directoire bathing dress, with her hair tied up in yellow ribbons, she sat and received her guests in a white tub draped with yellow and filled with lemonade, with pieces of lemon peel floaing about on the surface. A glass of iced lemonade was given to each guest, and for those who would join in the novelty lemonade baths were arranged and directoire bathing dresses provided. It is scarcely likely that this form of the bath will ever become really popular, but as an advertising scheme for a young actress it is certainly far better than lost jewels.—New York Sun.

The adjustable parts include in addition to the palmetto scrubbing brush, a steel wire brush, carborundum stones and holder, a sheep's fleece polishing pad, and carborundum paper cut ready to use. The power cost is claimed to be no more than one cent an hour. Current is taken from any electric light fixture in the room.—Popular Mechanics. The Point of View.

Mr. Washington, in reply, told a story of a southern minister who could not have been very eloquent. "One Sunday morning," he said, "in the midst of this minister's sermon, a head poked itself through the door of the vestry, and a low and tremulous voice said: "Parson, the church is on fire." "Very well, Brother Spriggins,' the minister answered. 'I will retire. Perhaps you'd better wake up the congregation.'" Just What He Meant.

John Opie, the English painter, is described as a man of humble origin, who achieved success wholly by his own genius and perseverance. The story of his first effort in that line of art which arterward brought him fame he related to Coke, first earl of Leicester of Holkham, as follows: When a small boy of ten or twelve he was left at home one Sunday afternoon with his father, while his mother went to church. The father established himself in the parlor with his Bible, and told the boy to be quiet and amuse himself. Young Opie, who had procured some paints, took up a position unobserved in the kitchen, directly opposite the parlor door. Very quietly he drew a portrait of the old man bending over his Bible, until he had finished everything except the head, when he began running backward and forward to study his father's face. The old gentleman grew very angry at these apparently senseless interruptions and threatened to punish his son if they continued. This was exactly what the boy wanted, as he wished to paint his father's eye lit up and sparkling with anger. So he continued his irritating behavior until it met with the desired result, and his father, justly wrathful, administered a sound thrashing. This achieved, the boy resumed his task eagerly, and transferred to his picture the expression which he had just seen upon the face of his indignant parent. When his mother returned from church, he placed the picture triumphantly before her; but although astonished and delighted with it, she thought it her duty to scold her son severely for painting on a Sunday. Young Opie, however, cared no more for the scolding than for the beating he had received in accomplishing his work, and only hugged his mother delightedly in his excitement at its success. His father, coming into the room at this juncture, and spying the portrait of himself, was so surprised and pleased at it that he told the mother not to scold the boy any more. Subsequently, whenever the picture was shown, he used to tell with great relish the story of young Opie's plucky acceptance of a beating in order to insure its success.—Youth's Companion. To Preserve Snap Beans. While the Bulgarians have produced no specially noted cordon bleus, they are a people of "faculty," and know how to make the most of their somewhat meager food supplies. In the cooking of beans, fresh or dried, they can even give points to a Bostonian. They have a unique way of putting up snap beans for winter's use, easy and excellent as to results. The beans are picked when just tender, "snappy" age, are washed clean, strung and broken into inch pieces as though ready for cooking. Now the housewife threads a coarse needle with strong thread, and in a jiffy strings the pieces of broken beans on the thread. As soon as a generous loop is made it is hung in the sunshine to dry. When perfectly dry it is laid away from the dust until ready for use. Then take as many as desired, soak in lukewarm water several hours, and cook the same as fresh beans. CLUB" Ave. d Pool... Mgr.

Industrial inefficiency is the one ob- stacle in the path of the negro which is of his own making. We must work for a living, we must compete with white labor. Lack of opportunity pre- vents our free entry into all kinds of trades throvgh the restrictions ‘f trades unions. But no apology ex'sts for us that we fail to make time, *hai we are given to working sporadically, that we take only perfunctory interest in our employer's business. Too many negroes treat their jobs as pleasure outings and labor grudgingly. We have done much since emancipation, but have many shortcomings yet which ought not be glossed over. It is our fault that we command less wages for the same kind of labor as performed by whites. Not all of us are indiffer- ent workmen, but so large is the per- centage that the better workers snf- fer for the worse. Let us come up to the mark, each man for himself, let us excel white competitors, and we will raise up in this country the pow- erful defense of the commercial inter- ests, and our rights will no longer be ignored. The race problem is a labor problem, or at least is susceptible of treatment as a labor problem. We are in receipt of some splendid specimens of the sugar beet raised by Mack Wright on his ranch near Ala- mosa. It is a pleasurable duty from time to record the pleasant relations exist- ing in this city between the churches and the public. Mutual respect and confidence between those within and those without the churches is a com- pliment to the good sense of both. Where in many places this cordia! re- lation does not exist, mutual reer'm- inations make gossip common and both parties to it are losers. A. T. Moore of Kansas City, who is here visting, has received news from his home city that his barn has been burned down by white incendiaries as a result of the “race war” now in Progress there. It seems that a negro killed a white man and eluded his pursuers somewhere near Moore's barn, and at night the justice of the mob took the turn of burning negroes’ property out of vengenance for the es- caped negro. Mr. Moore lost a valu- able horse, together with, his rig in the fire. He carried some insurance. | Why help pay big ‘rent?

Take a Certificate with THE COLORADO MUTUAL BENE FIT ASSOCIATION There is None Better. The Colorado Mutual Benefit Asso. ciation is an order that does not wish to be considered a rival of any organ- ization, but rather a co-laborer in the great work for the advancement of the whole people. That the system of fra- ternal protection is one of the great- est blessings of this century cannot be denied, and the plan of The Colo- rado Mutual Benefit Association not only protects during the productive period of a man’s life, but provides that the cost will not increase as he becomes old. Under a Beneficial Cer- tifleate your family is protected against most forms of sickness and any kind of accidents and in case of your death either by sickness or acci- dent. The death benefit increases in size from year to year until it of it- self is worth the small monthly dues You might argue that you were never sick, never hurt, nor likely to be. It *- always the unexpected that hap- pens. You might argue that you can’t afford to be bothered. Some people regard it a bother to be protected and often say I can't afford to be bothered. Can we afford to live for ourselves alone, for our own selfish pleasure, and never in the least benefiting oth- ers or leaving any trace of our appre- ciation of life? Can we afford to idle away a few months or years of bor- rowed time, knowing that those de- pendent upon us have no assurance or provision for their existence once our earning capacity ceases by ill health or accident? Can we afford to neg- lect carrying a certificate with The Colorado Mutual Benefit Association. 1or protection there is none better. Our cost of operating is the lowest. Our growth has been twice as large this year than last year and the year before. Our future the brightest. Our management honest and open to in- vestigation. THE COLO.M. B. ASS'N. | ADMISSSION 50c.
