STATE TICKET A WINNER TWENTIETH YEAR STATE TIC In these days when we are treated to the spectacle of reputations assailed and tumbling on all sides, the Republican administration of the past two years, and, that of two years ago, are free from even the suspicion of blame. With the single exception that Governor McDonald is assailed because of the conditions that made him governor, not even democracy finds fault with him or any of his administration. Consider what Colorado was under Governor Thomas and under Governor Orman, recall the almost constant need of the militia to maintain order, and the reason is apparent why the Republican party has the confidence of capital and labor alike and has been given the control of the state. Government is nearest ideal, when its control of citizens is least irksome, and when there is the widest personal liberty. Such has been the record of the Republican party in this state respecting all its citizens, and upon this showing alone, its candidates deserve to win. For Colored voters it is of added interest that we have achieved our best under the Republican administration. Governor McDonald, who seeks re-election after two years of private life, has made a splendid record as an official. The clean, economical administration of the state's business, was of the same character that has made him a success as a business man at his home in Leadville. He is a plain man, no flamboyant orator, all wind and no work. He is a good party man, and a man who has conducted himself with respect to Colored Coloradoans with the same impartiality and friendliness that has characterized his relations with the whites. In our contact with him, there has been none of that attitude that says, "I am better than thou." There is one man upon the Republican ticket who should insure to the Republican party the votes of every Negro in the state, regardless of who are his running mates. That man is Tim O'Connor, of Boulder, candidate for secretary of state. How well we remember the clear cut acceptance of the Negroes' right to representation in his office two years ago, when he was first inducted into office. Changes of many clerks were made in his office, but early in the game, he made it known that Colored Republicans had found in him, one who recognized their loyalty and worth to the party, and one who meant to repay it himself, no matter what other departments of the state might do. Tim --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY OCTOBER 3 1908 O'Connor should be a name to conjure with in this state for Colored voters. In the midst of political agitation, whatever may be the opinions of individuals on measures and policies, Negroes all should pick out such men as nave shown themselves our friends and bind themselves to them with hoops of steel. The race that loses sight of its friends deserves none. vote for O'Connor, and the safest way to do so is to write "Republican" on the top of your ballot Nov. 3. Both in its national platform and in its state platform, Democracy has struck at the courts. By jury trial it seeks to strip the courts of their power to enforce their mandates. Asspersions, unsupported by proof of wrong doing, are hurled at Colorado courts, that put to shame the wildest ravings of anarchists. Democracy's idea of letting the people rule, is to throw away the accumulated experience of the ages and try the mob. If some such motive does not inspire it, how comes it then that judicial emasculation is so strenuously sought? The Republican party is happy this year in its choice of supreme judges, Judges Helm, Goddard, King and Maxwell, and their standing at the bar and their records on the bench are the best answer to Democracy's snameless criticism. The majorities which they will receive at election, will be the best answer to the vacuous plea for cutting down the power of the courts. Other candidates upon the state tickets have served well in the past and deserve election, but these above named most vitally effect the Colored people, and to the doubting ones, we simply suggest the fairness of comparing their records with that of the opposition, both as to their personality and the platforms upon which they stand. It is a pleasure to say that the state ticket which is offered to the people by the Republican party in this campaign, does not have to depend upon the wit of the press agent for attention. Rarely has any party made a more courageous stand for public decency and progress than has the party in its platform, nor offered the voters a set of candidates whose record gave stronger assurance of carrying out the provisions of the platform, and whose qualifications for office were better attested. COLORADO METHODISM THE COLORADO CONFERENCE A. M. E. CHURCH. The recent session of Colorado conference was said by Bishop Grant to be one of the most pleasant he ever presided over. Colorado Springs was at her best. The pastor of Payne's Chapel had everything in splendid shape. Weather, for the most part, was perfect. Chaplain T. G. Stewart was present and helped Bishop Grant in many ways. Reports from the several charges and mission points showed a healthy increase along all lines. The dollar money was $1,376.50, while the woman's mite societies reported $250 for e cause of missions. Increase in membership was more than 200, debts were paid off churches, and one new church was being built at Raton, N. M. Several reports were read which provoked some discussion. While Captain Stewart made several speeches along educational lines which were accepted on all hands as masterly efforts, he represented Wilberforce university, of which institution he is vice-president. The Woman's Mite Society held their annual session Friday at 3 p. m. A splendid program was rendered. Mrs. Dorcas Watson was re-elected president, thus endorsing her work of the past year; Mrs. J. C. Bell, secretary; Mrs. J. C. C. Owens, treasurer. The Sunday services made a deep and lasting impression on all present. A great crowd greeted Bishop Grant at the morning service. It was an auspicious gathering, everything conspired to produce the best possible result. It was standing room only after chairs had been brought into the aisles. The people were eager and expectant. The day was bright; choir sang as if inspired, and when Bishop Grant arose to speak a hush rested on the vast audience. His text was from Gen., "Arise, take the child, hold him in thine hand. For I will make of him a great Nation." From this text he proceeded to preach a soul-stirring sermon, which lifted his audience to a nigh spiritual plane, and clearly snowed him to be a "master of assemblies. A call was made for those who desired to seek Christ and five persons came forward. After a short but powerful service at the altar, they accepted Christ, and on invitation six persons came forward and united with the church. It was a great service. Bishop Grant spoke with such power that persons coming to the altar FIVE CENTS A COPY ETHODISM reeled under the influence of Divine power. In the afternoon, Rev. B. F. Bates, the veteran preacher from Los Vegas, N. M., delivered the message. He preached a splendid sermon to a well filled house. It was enjoyed by all present. At night Chaplain T. G. Stewart spoke to a crowded house and people standing in every part of the church. His effort was replete with Gospel truth, logical, persuasive, like Paul on Mars hill, and before Felix, the governor. He reasoned of right- eousness, temperance and judgment to come. He won the hearts of the people by calm reasoning and convincing logic. Thus ended what was voted by all as a great day in Zion; collected $50, and as the people left they felt that it was one more day's work for Jesus. The Bishop called conference to meet at 7 o'clock Monday morning and that appointments would be read about 9:30 a.m. At the time appointed, conference was called to order. After preliminary exercises, several reports were made and finishing work was done. Rev. C. A. Murphy was given the obligations of a deacon in our church. Bishop sang, "Go Preach My Gospel." Chaplain Stewart read a part of Luke X, and the Bishop gave out the appointments, as below. Thus ended a great conference. Denver District. Rev. J. C. C. Owens, D. D., Presiding Elder.

Rey- Continued on page eight --- As may be inferred, each profession has its stock jokes—its stories innumerable—each of which having a flavor of its own. That the point of a joke or jest lies not in the tongue of him who makes it, but in the ear that hears, is the testimony of the great dramatist. The doctor on his rounds and the judge upon the bench have both an audience ready and willing to accept as the highest wit the bon mots of the speakers; and there is no club or gathering of men that does not acclaim one of its members as supreme in this respect, and are ready to yield due recognition of the gift. It must be admitted that the blunders and jests clerical stand for some reason pre-eminent both in number and in mirth producing qualities. The reason, of course, is not far to seek—the very surroundings, in which they occur—the very upsetting of one's preconceived notions of reverence, all tend to cause a reaction in the ordinary mental equilibrium, and the simplest mistake or accident under such circumstances assumes the proportions of a huge comedy. Recently a divine, in drawing the attention of his congregation to a special communion service on the following Sunday informed them that "the Lord is with us in the forenoon and the bishop in the evening." WORLD'S CITIES HARD TO KILL. Rome Twice Burned, Six Times Starved—Paris' Eight Sieges. Few of the world's great cities have not faced, at one time or another, total destruction. But a city is hard to kill. Take Rome, for instance. She has been swept by pestilence no fewer than ten times. She has been twice burned and six times driven to submission by starvation. Perhaps it is on account of her great vitality that she is called the Eternal city. Paris has gone through eight sieges, ten famines, two plagues and one fire which devastated it. Constantinople has been burned out nine times and has suffered from four plagues and five sieges. In addition, she has been ruled by monarchs who were worse than a plague. Yet Constantinople still flourishes. London has been decimated five times by plagues, in addition to visitations of typhus, cholera and other epidemics. She has been burned more or less severely several times.—Stray Stories. Truly Rustic Bridge. A rustic bridge at Beach Haven, Ga., contains 56 kinds of wood and vines, grown on the 50 acres of Beach Haven park. Following is a list of the woods and vines: Short-leaf pine, long-leaf pine, post oak, white oak, Spanish oak, water oak, red oak, poplar, sweet gum, black gum, red haw, black haw, red bud, prickly ash, chinquapin, wild plum, persimmon, cedar, wild sloe, wahoo, sumac, red elm, pig hickory, scalybark hickory, hock or sugar berry, willow, china, black elder, crab apple, wild mulberry, wild cherry, dogwood, sourwood, winter whortleberry, black locust, sassafras, cottonwood, buckeye, laurel, beech, holly, ash, ironwood, birch, magnolia, sycamore, walnut, sweet bay, evergreen, spruce. Vines—Grape, muscadine, bellflower, rattan, bamboo. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO No Roseate Postcard Without Its Thorn of Suggestion. Harold's mother—we'll call him Harold—went abroad a month ago, leaving Harold under the somewhat unsubstantial control of his elder sisters. In spite of the itemized directions with which even unto the moment of final leavetaking she had not ceased to bombard him, Harold's mother was far from sure that her efforts would have any lasting effect. Her voyage was more or less disturbed by these doubts, but before she landed on the other side she had determined on a course of action. Like all small boys, Harold is most covetous of picture postcards and had looked forward to a harvest from his mother's trip. He got it. Every day she sent at least one card. And, whatever else it bore in the way of inscription, there was not one which failed of this introduction: "Just as soon as you get this go and brush your teeth." Made Carlyle "Shell Out." Rev. Thomas Alexander, a Presbyterian minister, long resident in Chelsea and well known as a brother Scot, was most anxious to know Carlyle, but had no opportunity of getting an introduction to him. One day in the King's road he saw Carlyle coming in his direction and took advantage of the opportunity by going up to the sage and saying: "Thomas Carlyle, I believe?" Carlyle's reply was: "Tom Alexander, I know!" They became good friends, and later Mr. Alexander wrote to Carlyle for a subscription toward a school building fund, and Carlyle wrote back a refusal in doggerel, whereupon Mr. Alexander replied that if he did not send him £5 ($25) he would sell his poetry to a collector or publish it. The £5 was at once forthcoming. Seagulls of Auchmithie. In the fishing village of Auchmithie you may frequently witness seagulls flying into the houses of the fishermen and partaking of food from their hands. One of these sea birds was in the habit of staying in a fisherman's house all the year round except at the breeding season, when it left. About a fortnight ago, while the gull was away, the fisherman removed his home some three and a half miles from the former place. The fisherman never expected to see his old friend the gull again. It was therefore, much to his astonishment that he beheld on a recent Sunday the sea bird come walking into his new residence with stately steps to resume his old familiarities and household ways. Children's Bad Teeth. Governments, the world over, are coming to realize that it is their duty to look after school children's teeth. The crushing power of false teeth is only from one-fifth to a half that of natural ones, and the mouth filled with false teeth cannot be quite healthy. But even by taking hold of the teeth in childhood it is difficult to make them last a lifetime. Out of 100,000 children 85 per cent. are found to have diseased teeth. This is the proportion in America, Germany, England and Russia. Of 100 children of 12 years, only 15 have teeth that need no attention Photographing the Stomach. An improved apparatus has been made by Dr. Fritz Lang of Munich by which the inside of the stomach can be clearly photographed. The camera is actually swallowed by the patient, and no sooner does it reach his stomach than the walls thereof are illuminated by a small electric lamp attached to the apparatus. At the bottom of the camera is wound a photographic film 20 inches long and a quarter of an inch wide. All the surgeon has to do is to pull a cord and thus run the film past the lens. The electric light is then turned on, and after the sensitive film has been impressed with the image the current is turned off and another section of the film is brought into play, until the requisite number of pictures have been obtained. When this is done the entire apparatus is withdrawn from the stomach. 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. Increasing Our Ills. It is rather surprising to hear that a German doctor who has drawn up a list of all the diseases to which the human body is liable has returned the number of them as only 1,100. Any one among whose acquaintance there is an amateur invalid would have supposed that there were many more ways of being ill than that. One thousand one hundred is a poor figure for these times, too. With all the advance made in medicine in the past century, one expects something in six figures at least. Still, the number of diseases known is mounting steadily. There are already dozens of ailments, from sleeping sickness to tennis elbow, that our fathers never had. Railway Apprentice Schools. The New York Central railroad maintains nine apprentice schools along its lines where workmen are trained for the shops of the company. These apprentices are paid from 12 to 20 cents an hour, according to the length of time which they have served, and upon serving three years satisfactorily get a diploma, after which the pay is 32 cents on hour. The nine schools had 400 pupils last year, and the cost of their operation was $17,000. They are presided over by a superintendent of apprentices, whose entire time is given to this work. He maps out the course of instruction and attends to all the details of the operation of the school. LADIES' TAILORING. Fashionable dressmaking, design- ing. Mrs. I. Ic. McGuire. 2516 Curtis street. PAGE. 10. WENT BACK ON BENEFACTOR. Philanthropic Women Disappointed in Their Protege. The late Mrs. Clara Dewey How of Philadelphia, whose philanthropic work among immigrants made her well known, had a trenchant wit, and one afternoon in Philadelphia, discussing the in suffrage movement with a cler. she said: "You men are all alike. You all resemble the orphan that Mrs. Stanton and her friends brought up. Mrs. Stanton and a body of ladies from her church, all interested in woman suffrage, once took a little newsboy from the gutter and educated him superbly. They sent him through school and college and finally made a minister of him. "This young minister, the work of their hands, preached his first sermon in their church. That was a proud Sunday morning for the good ladies. They thought they had at last firmly planted among the male sex a strong and splendid supporter. So, in their best bonnets, they filled the church that Sunday morning. They were on tiptoe with expectation. Who could tell but that their young charge might preach in their honor a woman suffrage sermon? "I imagine their emotions when the youth arose in the pulpit, looked calmly and even sternly over the congregation and announced that his text would be from St. Paul: "Let the women keep silence in the church." TOOK THEIR MATES ON TRIAL. One-Year Marriages Once a Common Thing in Scotland. They who talk glibly of short-term marriages and affinities do not know that in Scotland a one-year marriage, termed a handfasting, was once legal and fairly common. It was abandoned on account of its injustice to the woman. Scott, in "The Monastery," mentions this one-year marriage, making Sir Julian Avenal say: "We take our wives, like our horses, upon trial. When we are handfasted, as we term it, we are man and wife for a year and a day; that space gone by, each may choose another mate, or at their pleasure, may call the priest to marry them for life." There was no disgrace attached to handfasting. It was, indeed, more often practiced among the great than the lowly. But the poor girl whose trial husband rejected her at the year's end rarely found it possible to secure a permanent mate. Simple Remedy for Lockjaw. Cal Johnson, an old-time printer was in the city recently and claims to have a simple and effective cure for lockjaw, one that never fails. Remembering his boyhood days when the rusty nail was always lying in wait for the barefoot boy and serving as a menace to all who attempted to pass the summer months without shoes on their feet, Mr. Johnson thinks that his advice may be of some use to the fathers and mothers who still have barefoot boys. The remedy is to smoke the wound caused by the rusty nail or other implement of torture to the small boy, with a woolen cloth. Twenty minutes with this kind of treatment, it is said, will take out the worst case of inflammation and cause a speedy healing of the wound without disagreeable results.—Kansas City Journal. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ANSWERED HIM WITH RIDICULE. Challenge to Duel Brought Witty Letter from H. H. Breckenridge. In Clyde Fitch's large collection of autographs there is none that he values more than a letter of the eccentric and brilliant jurist, H. H. Breckenridge, on dueling. Breckenridge, a youth at the time, replied to the challenge of a British officer with this amusing letter. He said: "I have two objections to this duel matter—the one is, lest I should hurt you; the other is, lest you should hurt me. I don't see what good it would do to put a ball through your body. I could make no use of you dead for any culinary purpose as I would a rabbit or a turkey. I am no cannibal to feed upon the flesh of men. Why, then, shoot down a human creature, of whom I can make no use? A buffalo would be better. "You might make a good barbecue, it is true, being of the nature of a raccoon or opossum; but people are not in the habit of barbecuing anything that is human now. As to your hide—it is not worth taking off, being little better than a two-year-old colt's. "As to myself, I do not like to stand in the way of anything that is hurtful. I am under the impression that you might hit me. This being the case, I think it advisable to stay in the distance. If you mean to try your pistol, take some object—a tree or a barn door—about my dimensions. If you hit that, send me word, and I will acknowledge that if I had been in the same place you might also have hit me." A Bishop's Arduous Life. Some idea of the onerous and difficult duties of a bishop may be gathered from the work of Dr. W. C. Gray, bishop of southern Florida. Nearly 60,000 miles of territory go to make up the diocese. There are few modern facilities of travel and, although one strenuous bishop made an effort to get over the whole in one year, he failed, in spite of the fact that he only spent three weeks of the entire year at his home. Apart from the size of the diocese, however, the 250,000 inhabitants are composed of Cubans, negroes, Swedes, Danes and Germans, while between 400 and 500 Seminole Indians still remaining in the swamps have to be visited. Missions have been established among them all—red men, black men, brown men and white men, and the new mission openings are such that the present bishop is constantly on the "go," visiting them. In fact, he is away from home nearly all the time. New York Park Has Many Visitors. In the total number of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians (4,034) on exhibition, the New York Zoological park stands to-day at the head of all the zoological parks and gardens of the world. Berlin comes next with a total of 3,149. The area of the New York Zoological park in land and water embraces 264 acres. Of walks and roads there are about eight miles, and of fences $10\frac{1}{2}$ miles. The maintenance force of the park, constantly on duty, embraces 141 persons. The number of visitors in 1907 was 1,273. 046—nearly one-third of the entire population of the metropolis of the American continent. Of this number it is estimated that 250 visitors were from outside of New York city. In the Colony club, at tea time, an old new woman, lighting a cigarette, said: "We new women are really not so new as we think we are. In the thirteenth century there were lots of us. Can anything 700 years old be new? "The University of Bologna had for professor of jurisprudence Movella d'Andria. She was no more new than beautiful—her charms were so overpowering that the trustees made her lecture behind a curtain. When she lectured openly, the students, their minds wholly occupied with her beauty, could not attend to what she said. "Madonna Manzolina was professor of anatomy, Matilda Tromboni taught languages, and Marie Magnesi held the chair of mathematics. "This university was by no means a second rate one. On the contrary, it was perhaps the leading university of Europe. It had 10,000 students." All's Well That Ends Well. The little sailboat was becalmed. "Can't you whistle and raise the wind?" he asked. "I'm afraid you might attempt to kiss me when I got my lips puckered," she said. "I'll do nothing of the kind," he promised. "Nothing doing then," she declared. "No kiss, no pucker." Whereupon he withdrew the rash promise he had made and although the boat continued to remain in the becalmed state they cared not a single care. Shall History Be Revived?

PAGE. 12 FELL DEAD AT WORK. Last Friday morning, while at his work plastering a building, at Milwaukee and Colfax, death came to Robert Neeley, instantaneously from heart trouble. Without the slightest premonition or suffering, he was called from labor to reward, even the men working with him knowing nothing of his illness and attracted to his condition only by not hearing the sound of his trowel in the adjoining room. His funeral services were held Tuesday from Shorter Church, under the auspices of Rocky Mountain Lodge of Masons, of which he was a member. Rev. Ward preached, taking his theme from the instructive lesson taught by the life of the deceased, by being ready for the final summons, even though no warning was given. Many floral tributes were given by sympathizing friends, and the bereaved widow and brother, Harvey Neeley on Pueblo, were given every consolation that could come from earthly nands. Interment was at Fairmount. FALLINGS LUCKY MAN. Although this is at election time and although all the merits and merits of men are exposed to public gaze, we think we ought to take time enough to speak of the signal honor given by the State Executive to us by the appointment of A. G. Fallings, one of our leading men of the west, as Colorado's representative to the National Negro Fair Association, to be held in Mobile, Ala., in the fall of 1909. Mr. Fallings is well qualified to represent Colorado, as his experience, broadened by his collegiate training, has clearly demonstrated his ability in other things before. MRS. W. A. JONES ENTERTAINS AT AUTUMN FETE. Never before has so much pleasure been crowded into one evening, as was when Mrs. W. A. Jones of Marion street had many of the young people at her home last Friday night. There were thirty-six young couple present and the feature of the evening were the "new autumn stunts" introduced into Denver society by the merry makers. Various games and other amusements were greatly indulged in. The maids of honor were Misses Geraldine Troutman and Mabel Burns; matrons of honor were Mesdames J. N. Jackson and J. B. Harris; chaperons were Mesdames C. L. Casey and W. A. Jones. While this event was especially in honor of Howard McGinnis' birthday, yet the affair was so glorious that the main feature was now and then forgotten. Mrs. Jones crowned herself with great credit in her social proclivities. SODA DISPENSERS MAKE A HIT. There may be imitators, there even may be equals, but the Soda Dispensers have no superiors. Their annual ball at East Turner hall Thursday night carired the mind back a few years to their first, when they astonished the natives with the lavish decorations, the free supper and the good time. This year was a rival to the first in the effectiveness with which they pleased the public. Your money was counterfeit after you were once in e hall. Soda, coffee, chicken salad, sandwiches, ice cream and cake, candies, all were there and even cigars. The Soda Dispensers are fortunate in having the best of caterers in the city as members, and their ideas in decorations, in service and their pleasant personality, made this ball the pooh bah of successhVff? lrETA ETAOIN bah of dances. It was more like a Christmas tree in its favors for the guests, than a public entertainment. The souvenir programs, which were the work of this office, received much iavorable comment. A real work of art in ice sculpture was the setting for the punch bowl. This was an arch of ice ingrained with fern leaves, with a foundation of ice encrusted dahlias. Fruits and flowers completed a pretty picture, so pleasing to the eye that the real nectar of the gods served could not improve upon. This was the work of Messrs. W. A. Rice, C. C. Demry and Leonard Anderson. ROCKY FORD NEWS. Mrs. J. W. Rucker of Pitkin, Colo., has returned to Rocky Ford, where she will spend the winter. Mr. and Mrs. MacKnight of Swink, were in Rocky Ford attending church Sunday. Little Nellie and Claudie Winslow who have been severely ill, are improving. The Emancipation of the Arkansas Valley was held in Rocky Ford Sept. 22, 1908. The beet topping has begun this morning. Little Marie Bass, who has been ill with the typhoid fever, is now recovering.

LOUIS ITEMS. Mrs. John Hallowell of Tremont street, Denver, after a short visit in the city, left for Florida and the South. Mrs. N. W. Douglass will leave in a few days for her home in Denver, after a pleasant visit with her parents of Cottage avenue. Mrs. Caroline Helms, after spending her vacation in Kansas City and surrounding country, has resumed her duties as teacher in the Wheeley school. Miss Victoria Wallace, a teacher and directoress in the kindergarten, has bought a half interest in the drug business formerly owned by Wright & Bolen, Mr. Wright retiring from the firm. Mr. Geo. Wright has bought the drug store owned and conducted by L. M. Williams on St. Ferdinand street. Mr. Williams will leave on a business trip to Denver and other points in Colorado, seeking a location. Mr. Richard McGrew leaves for Denver in the near future with the intention of locating. Through invitations issued by Miss V. Wallace, directoress, and Miss Moman, primary teacher in the Dessalines kindergarten, a well-attended mothers' meeting was held last week. Addresses by Prof. Williams of the Summer High school, Mrs. Bowles of East St. Louis, and others; music by Mis Bertha Alexander, Mrs. Bertha Hobson, with Mr. Hill, accompanist, song "The Great White Throne" in a voice that brought forth much praise. It was indeed a grand effort. Miss Callie Edwards of Cote Brilliante avenue, this city, will leave in a fortnight for Chicago to take a course of study in the higher mathematics. Miss Gonzales Porter of Denver and Omaha, who has been visiting her grand parents here during the summer. Miss Casey and Miss Leonard of this city left last week for Washington, D. C., where they will enter Howard University. Ground was broken here on Monday for the beginning of the erection on the new Summer High school on Cottage avenue. The ground and building will cost near $350,000. Many or St. Louis' prominent colored citizens gathered to make the occasion notable on account of the hard fight and eventual success of the committee in securing this excellent location and building. Revs. Stevens and Cook, Prof. Williams and Prof. Murray, editor and proprietor of The Advance, took part. An amusing scene was the scramble to help fill the first wagon carting away the dirt when shovels were at a premium, showing both patriotism and interest taken in the higher education. RESOLUTION. Whereas, Rev. J. W. Sanders reported to this Conference that he had collected $96 in the town of Alamosa, Colo., as general missionary and fiscal agent, and. Whereas, This money was collected in the name and under the auspices of the African M. E. church to purchase a lot on which to erect a church, and Whereas, The fiscal agent gave $10 of above amount, and the balance on the money was given by the white citizens of Alamosa to the African M. E. church, therefore, be it Resolved. That this Conference do hereby request the minister sent to Silverton and Durango to stop at Ala- mosa, take charge of the money held by Bro. Mack Wright, and purchase a lot for our church as intended by the donors to the fund. Respectfully submitted, REV. W. H. PRINCE, P. E. Pueblo District. J. W. SANDERS. H. FRANKLIN BRAY. J. C. BELL. Denver Locals Rev. Banks has returned to his Home in Henderson, Ky. The remains of Mrs. Sadie Kitchen, who died last Saturday of peritonitis, were shipped to Moberly, Mo., by Undertaker Gilmore Tuesday. Her little daughter accompanied the body. Mrs. Florence Orey is in the city and is associated with Mr. Renfro in the restaurant at 1855 Arapahoe street which was formerly conducted by S. R. Elam. The name has been changed and the service will be that of the "English Kitchen." So many heavy blows have fallen in the last few days among the giants in the political arena, that one has to pause and make inventory to see whose persimmons are still safe. The confession of weakness on the part of the accuser and of merit on the part of the accused is never more evident than when appeal is made to race prejudice. The junior senator from this state is a Jew, and his race has been seized upon to injure the Republican party in its present campaign for return, to power. Shame upon American civilization that it is so mean and unfair, that any man is influenced by such means. From very fellowship, this should make votes for the Republican party among Negroes, for they have felt the keen sting of race antagonism as has the Jew, and the kindred suffering should make us kind one to the other.

Two girls were talking over the phone one afternoon, the subject of the conversation being a lawn party to take place the following day. Both were discussing what they should wear, and after five minutes had come to no decision. Right in the midst of this "important" conversation a masculine voice interrupted, asking humbly what number he had. A stern reply that the wire was busy did not successfully squelch the inquirer, for he asked again for the number. One of the girls now became indignant and with supreme scorn asked: "What line do you think you are on, anyhow?" "Well," said the man, "I'm not sure, but judging from what I've heard I should say I was on a clothes line." The Malacca Wildcats. In the forests of Malacca and other islands in the Indian ocean may still be found the animal known as a wild cat. The upper parts of it are generally of a clear yellow color, with black spots; the lower parts are white with black spots also. On the back the spots lengthen almost into lines or rings, black on yellow. The average length of the animal, excluding the tail, is almost two feet; the tail averages nine inches. Its height when standing erect is about 12 inches at the shoulder and 15 inches at the hindquarters. Its temper is mild and gentle; it plays almost like a domestic cat, or rather kitten, chasing its tail and amusing itself with anything that it can roll with its paws. Had Given It Away. Lucille's mother had taken her for an outing. Now that the hour for luncheon had arrived, she called to the little girl: "Lucille, we will now have a little roll and some chocolate, and you shall pay with the two sous I gave you but a short time since." "Oh, mamma," cried Lucille, "I have already given the two sous away to an old woman!" "I am so glad you have disposed of the money in such a charitable way. How did you happen to present it to the old woman?" asked the mother. "Well, you see, I gave it to her in payment for two nice apples," confessed Lucille. She Knew. Two Chicago women, in New York for a stay of several months, were planning a series of visits to the opera. Their talk drifted to "Lucia di Lammermoor." "I don't know where the story of the opera comes from," said one. "Of course, I know that it is from one of the old Italian romances, but I am not familiar with the particular source." The second assumed an air of superiority. "You need not be ashamed of your ignorance," said she. "It is only by chance that I know. It's from 'Aesop's Fables.'"—New York Evening Post PIANOS $100.00 Anyone may have a Piano delivered at their home for $2.00 per week payments.

The program consisted of recitations and music by the Sunday school. Miss Laurina Spaulding presided at the organ—"enough said." Soloists, Miss Viola Spaulding and Miss Bendella Johnson. Strong and impressive speeches were made by Rev. Wm. Jackson, Mr. Charles Lawson, after which Rev. S. E. Bailey, the pastor, spoke, who captivated the audience, in speaking on "The Relation of Ignorance to Crime." In part he said: "Ignorance is the mother of crime. We stand here tonight enjoying the privileges of liberty, but will you stop for a moment and think of it, that there are 23,598 colored prisoners in the United States, and of this number only 3 per cent are educated, and again there are four times as many Negro prisoners in the United States as there are Negroes in the states of Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. Only 12 per cent of the population of the United States are Negroes, yet they are charged and held as prisoners for 16 per cent of all the crimes committed in a country of 84,000,000 souls. To say that the ratio of the 12 per cent of the population to the ```markdown ``` THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. 16 per cent of crime is astounding, is but a mild term for the expression of our standing on the criminal records of our land. The mission of Christian education as defined in our church is the act of drawing out of mankind those faculties of moral and material worth, such as develop a respect for law and order." Continuing, he said: "Fighting as we have against class legislation, our progress as shown from the following figures has surely been steady and phenomenal. Within forty years a population of 11,000,000 we have built forty-three schools and colleges, 30,000 Negro teachers who pass the board of white examiners, 19,000 graduates, 2,000 trained nurses and doctors, 15,000 ministers, 728 lawyers, 450,000 farms, 130,000 city lots. Our school property has a valuation of $15,000,000, our church property valuation of $40,000,000. Value of our taxable property is $800,000,000, and with 100 telegraph operators, 25 steamboat pilots at sea, 10,000 sailors, and 5,000 stenographers, we are not ashamed of our record since freedom's dawn." Thus endet the most interesting service o the kind ever witnessed in our church. EMPLOYMENT BUREAU. Work by day or month secured for men and women. Call Mrs. A. J. Reese, 1946 Pennsylvania avenue.

Tali Esen Morgan, the noted musical director of the great Ocean Grove religious festivals, said the other day that the "Merry Widow" waltz had been stolen from Mendelssohn's oratorio of "St. Paul." "It is a clear case of plagiarism," said Mr. Morgan, "and Lehar in his defense only incriminates himself the more. "In fact, Lehar's defense rather reminds me of the valet who was accused of drinking his master's wine. To this valet the master said: "Look here, you! I believe that you have been at this decanter of claret and then filled it up with water.' "Oh, no, sir,' said the valet, in an aggrieved tone. "Well, it tastes like it,' said the master, and he set down his glass with a wry face. "Oh, no, sir,' said the valet, excitedly. 'In the first place, sir, I never drink wine. In the second place, when I do drink it I never think of filling the bottle up with water. And in the third place, when I do put water in I always am very careful to add a little brandy so that the wine may not lose its strength.'" WHALING IN AFRICAN WATERS. Company Formed Thinks There Is Money to Be Made. A company, with head offices at Sandefjord, Norway, has been formed with the object of exploiting the whaling grounds adjacent to the South African coast. Briefly, the plan is to use two small whaling steamers which have been acquired by the company and, making Durban the base of operations, to scour the coastwise waters and as soon as a whale is taken to tow the body into the harbor, where the work of extraction will be done. By this means it is said that a saving of time in effected and the process of reduction is facilitated. It is claimed that these steam whalers are able to take all kinds of whales with comparative immunity from risk, as the explosive harpoon is fired directly from the steamer, and the danger of pursuing to "fish" in small boats is obviated. There are large numbers of whales near this coast, and there seems to be a fair prospect of success for a small company run on the most economical lines. The capital of the company is $75,000, and shares to the full amount have been taken in Natal and Norway. Garbage and Garage. The other day Claude wrote: "Isn't it about time we were renewing our boyhood acquaintance? Send me a photograph of your home." Nothing loath, Frank ordered the town photographer to prepare 100 postcard pictures of his home and surroundings, and of these sent a dozen different views to Claude. He did not discover until too late that three big garbage barrels were in the foreground. In a couple of weeks Claude sent a dozen views of his mansion to Frank, and in the foreground were three beautiful automobiles, with a marble garage hard by. "Only the small letter b divides us," wrote the surgeon; "you have the garbage, I have the garage; I have the autos, you have the barrels." Frank feeling rather humili- THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

The announcement that Dr. Charcot is taking 22,000 bottles of wine on his expedition to the south pole is likely to cause not a little amazement in temperance circles. Nansen, on his "furthest north" expedition—the superlative has been beaten since by Peary—kept his crew mainly on nonintoxicants. For breakfast they began by having coffee and chocolate daily; but soon altered it to coffee two days a week, tea two and chocolate three. At supper tea only was served as a beverage. At dinner, as a rule, "stories and jokes circulated along with the bock beer." The Fram was well provisioned, for Nansen wrote, when amid the ice packs, "There is not a thing we long for." Terms Become Obsolete. Formerly the term "master" was a markedly respectful form of address. Now in the form of "mister" it has become common property, while "master" itself has become confined to boys. However, the fall of "master" has not been so great as is that of the French "monsieur." At one time even a saint was spoken of as "Monsieur St. Jean." Under the early Valois the king was a "monsieur" in public documents; and later it became the title of the king's younger brother. Nowadays, "M." is merely on a level with "Mr." Extinct Sea Eiephant. The latest large animal to become extinct, the California sea elephant (Macrorhinus angustirostris), is a species belonging to the seal family, and the male had a tubular proboscis that could be elongated and dilated. Specimens taken to England a few months ago by Walter Rothschild's collectors are the last. They were taken on the island of Guadaloupe, off the coast of southern California, and will be preserved in the London Natural History museum and elsewhere. Until now no museum has had an adult male specimen. 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. DO IT NOW LEST YOU FOR- We are in receipt of unsigned notices from time to time which are omitted for lack of signature. Other contributors get economical and write their news on such small pieces of paper that they become lost among the larger sheets on which such matter is usually written. It is not often that matter is intentionally omitted where some good reason does not exist. Therefore persons will do well to conform to the easy regulations which govern matter for newspapers.

In these days of scientific progress, we are so blase as to be almost proof against surprise, and genius itself has to reach high altitudes to merit public exclamation. It was said of Prof. Owen that, give him a bone, and he could reconstruct Behemoth. There is a Parisian scientist at the moment who possesses the same power with hats. Give him a hat and he can diagnose the head that wore it. They gave him a hat the other day, and he said it must have been Cuvier's. Research unearthed the bill of that hat, and proved the correctness of the diagnosis. What is more, further research unearthed a portrait of Cuvier with the identical hat upon his head! A Spiritual Carrot. The lay preacher has his rewards, but he has also many discouragements.. A veteran brother once, at a conference of lay preachers, gave them some cheer. He said: "When I was a lad I used to drive a donkey-cart. Sometimes the donkey would not go, but I tied a carrot on the end of my whip and dangled it in front of his nose, and then he went. My brothers, let me dangle a spiritual carrot before you—'Be not weary in well doing, for in due time ye shall reap if ye faint not.'"—The Sunday Strand. The Snap-Shooting Nuisance. One of the nuisances of the present day is the photographer who snaps the married couple just as they come out of the church. The nuisance of it is that no one likes to be taken unawares, but that might be obviated if the public is trained to expect the camera upon every occasion and is always ready to "look sweet."

An improved apparatus has been made by Dr. Fritz Lang of Munich by which the inside of the stomach can be clearly photographed. The camera is actually swallowed by the patient, and no sooner does it reach his stomach than the walls thereof are illuminated by a small electric lamp attached to the apparatus. At the bottom of the camera is wound a photographic film 20 inches long and a quarter of an inch wide. All the surgeon has to do is to pull a cord and thus run the film past the lens. The electric light is then turned on, and after the sensitive film has been impressed with the image the current is turned off and another section of the film is brought into play, until the requisite number of pictures have been obtained. When this is done the entire apparatus is withdrawn from the stomach. The best equipped Pleasure resort in the West. Ping Pong Pool and Billiards T. R. HELRON, Prop.

Although there were at the same hour when the Alliance convened, two other meetings, yet the hall was fairly crowded at 4 o'clock to hear the speech of Hon. John A. Rush on "Economics." Miss Bessie Troutman sang as never before, for there were minutes of complete spell bound by the audience. Misses Troutman chooses, as a rule, a pathetic song, and puts her whole life and soul in the piece, making the rendition doubly effective. The audience gave her applause bordering upon an ovation. The Honorable Senator Rush opened his address by showing that the laws of opportunity, distribution, supply and demand, must be regarded carefully by all labor in its productions for the greatest good to come to the greatest number; that money not only controlled politics, but that politics more dependent upon money; that the law of opportunity supplied the money, so that all could have better homes, better children, better men and women and all be better all around. He showed and explained what direct legislation had to do with our financial condition, what the primary law and the initiative and referendum effected the whole people. He was warmly applauded. Lawyer Bryant carefully but broadly went over the entire field of the senator and urged the Negro to study more the present ideas and not remain back in the forty-year-ago period; that since we must face these problems we may as well investigate.

Dear Sirs-By the request of your superintendent, J. R. Lewis, I have examined your mining properties. Location. This property is situated in the Sugar Loaf mining district, Boulder county, Colorado, being on the north and west slope of Sugar Loaf mountain, and is one mile from the town on "Sunset" a station on the Colorado and Northwestern railroad. Lines of Communication ano Dis- It is 29 miles from Denver to Boulder and 14 miles from Boulder to Sunset a total of 43 miles from Denver to Sunset and one mile from the mines to Sunset, or it is 52 miles by railroad from Denver to summit of the hill about 1,000 feet immediately above the mine shaft. Freight and Smelting. Charges on ores. from Sunset to Denver smelters is $6.50 per ton on evaluation from $9.00 to $20.00 per ton. Ores from your mines should be laid down to the railroad for $1.00 per ton. Geology. The rock formation of this region around your mines is as follows: The main rock mass of the district is a granite, both gray and reddish, coarse grained, and is a true granite. This rock has been metamphosed and disturbed by a large area of eruptive rock series, commonly known as porphyry. I can say that the geological conditions existing in this immediate vicinity are most favorable for ore deposition and mineralization, taking in consideration the different mining properties surrounding Sugar Loaf mountain, this district is one of good promise. Area of Property. Development. The property is developed by an incline shaft 125 feet deep, following the vein which dips 60 degrees from the horizontal. This shaft is timbered in a first-class manner and is 4 feet by 8 feet in the clear, and cribbed with red spruce timbers from top to bottom. A level 150 feet long has been driven to the west on the vein at 75 feet in depth and dscloses an ore shoot some 50 feet long, varying from 3 inches to $1\frac{1}{2}$ feet wide. A drift 12 feet long has been driven to the east 15 feet deep above the bottom of the shaft, there being a sump for the purpose of catching water and used for draining the mine. A tunnel has started in the gulch below, the shaft that is in 30 feet which will cut the bottom of the shaft in 900 odd feet and which would drain the mine. There are about 2,000 gallons of water per 24 hours in the mine. There are a number of small shafts, open cuts and prospects on different portions of the property and in a number of them ore is exposed. Equipment. The main shaft house is a substantial building some 25 feet by 50 feet in size, having a gallows frame. There is an upright boiler capable of developing 40 horse power and all necessary buckets, cars and tools forming a complete equipment. Character of Ore and Vein. On the surface and down to a depth: of 30 feet the ores are oxidized and are of a brown color carrying iron oxide, gold and silver. In depth the ores show a chalcopyrite and iron pyrite, quartz, carrying gold and silver. The main Golden Chest vein is well defined, having a clay gogue in each wall, and is from 3 to 6 feet wide. The walls are well defined and the vein is easily mined. Timber and Supplies. An abundance of mining timber can be had on and near the property as well as fuel. Coal for fuel can be obtained from coal mines less than 20 miles away. Boulder and Denver affords facilities for securing mining supplies as cheap as any portion of the country. Summary. In summing up the property I can say it shows ore values enough to justify the expenditure of two or three thousand dollars in exploring the Golden Chest vein both east and west from the main shaft for several hundred feet, keeping careful assaying record of everything, and by performing this work I feel justified in saying the mine will or should pay handsomely. Respectfully submitted. JAS. ANGUS SNEDAKER. Office 850 Equitable Bldg.. Denver. LARAMIE. WYO. Miss Carrie Burton has been heard from at Washington, D. C., where she has been at school. She arived safely and met quite a number of oldtime friends, some of whom were from Laramie. She also wishes to hear from her oldtime friends as often as convenient. In this particular we could learn a good point from our white friends. Mrs. Thomas Price has been quite ill with stomach trouble, but at this writing she's feeling much better. Mr. Price has not been well, either, but manages to be out on the streets. Mr. Wm. Bird is also indisposed, but his friends are glad to see him at his place of business again. Rev. Walter S. Hill preached a very able sermon at the home of Mrs. John Crumly. We had quite a large attendance. Mr. Hill expects to have Mrs. Hill with him in the very near future, and her many friends are glad to hear of her returning to make this her home. Rev. Hill has been awarded two contracts, one for unloading coal and another for digging ditches. We are very glad to know he was successful in obtaining these contracts. Mrs. Coulfort Thompson and Miss Jennie Burns are nicely settled in a little home on the west side, and will be at home to their many friends. Mrs. McDowell and her charming daughter, Miss Jennie, and Mrs. Crumley, expect to give an entertainment on Friday of this week, which we hope will be a grand success. Mr. John Ransom and Master Earl Ransom are getting along nicely, after their recent illness. Colonel Ransom has been requested to sing the solo next Sunday evening, that he sang at church some time since. But the colonel is a little bit shy and will have to be approached on his blind side. Mr. Nelson Arrington is a new arrival in our city, and is occupied with Mr. Hill on his ditch contract. Mrs. Gertrude Steward and Mrs. Mattie Derrick have both been indisposed, but are up and out again. Mr. Harry Reed and Mrs. Joe Armstrong, two old batchelors, are batching on the west side. Colonel Ransom expects his daughter, Mrs. Chester Hunter, from Omaha some this fall to keep house for her father and brothers. Mr. Charles Alberts expects his wife this week. We will be glad to welcome her back to her old home, sweet home—Laramie. Mrs. Albert is a great favorite among the colored society of Laramie.

STORY NOT HUMOROUS TO HER. Rather Good Reason for Woman's Lack of Appreciation. The man who had once been a high school principal and had married one of his former pupils was in a reminiscent vein. "I think the funniest thing in my teaching experience was during an English recitation," he said. "It was my custom to read the class a little anecdote about a celebrated man and then ask them to write me a paraphrase. This recitation I chose a tale about Paderewski's love for ice cream soda, and that upon leaving this country he 'rushed into a drug store for one more ice cream soda, which he ate with great gusto.' I had the papers passed around and the pupils read one another's aloud. What was my amazement when one pupil read: 'Paderewski dashed into a drug store, just before he sailed for home, and had some ice cream soda with his friend, Gusto.'" The former principal laughed long and loudly and the guests joined in, but his wife laughed not at all. "You see," went on the former principal, "I meant to inquire who wrote that paper, but it slipped my mind, and so I never knew who the crazy person was." Then the former principal's wife spoke: Samuel," she said, "I've heard you tell that story about twenty times ever year of the five of our married life. And every time you tell it it grows less and less funny to me, for I wrote that paraphrase, and I'm the crazy person you're always wondering about. Now I never wish to hear it again." NO CHANCE FOR A FLIRTATION. Railroad Restaurants in Cuba with Japanese and Chinese Servants. When a cross-country Cuban railroad train pulls into Las Tunas or Ciego de Avila for the stop for food the traveler alights, prepared very likely to be waited upon by a black-eyed, red-lipped, dark-complexioned senorita or perhaps by a sturdy rascal of a waiter, either of whom is held to be typical of a Spanish-speaking country. Something to his surprise, then, he discovers that the railway restaurants are not served by Cubans or Americans either. The servants are Japanese or Chinese, sometimes both. It comes as a shock to the traveler when he sees the men of the Orient handing out the food upon request and answering the Cuban questions in Spanish and the American interrogatories in English. Just how these folks happened to come in no one seems to know. There are Japanese art stores that do business in Havana and also there are Chinese in the laundry business. Ballooning Among the Clouds. It has been my lot to see, in arctic regions, some hundreds of thousands of icebergs close at hand, and I have always believed them to be the most beautiful objects on earth; but the clouds of the sky, close at hand, are almost as beautiful. If you mount above one of these majestic things, swiftly overtopping one by one its folds and wreaths, and if, remembering how high it is, you look down and see only small green patches of earth through holes in the cloud carpet below, you have a little thrill of conception of how lonely a man would feel. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. falling away down there, and not being able to see the spot where he must alight. It is a safe little thrill, however; you know that you are not going to fall. Such dizziness as some persons feel in standing near great heights on the earth is almost unknown in ballooning.—Success Magazine. The Bride Fell Down. Sadly funny was a little drama at a recent swell wedding. "The bride," whispers a woman who attended, "was costumed after the approved directoire fashion, which calls for corsets down to the knees, a collar up to the eyebrows, and tight sleeves that pinion the arms to one's side. She could not manage her long skirt and she fell flat as she tried to reach the chancel. Her father, who was giving her away, was unprepared for the fall and was dragged down by his white satin and lace daughter." This looks bad, not for the bride, but for the costume. The directoire woman simply can't sit down, and when she walks she is in danger of performing that clumsy and sometimes dangerous feat known as "falling all over yourself." Truly a Forgetful Man. The most forgetful man has been found. He lives in a little town in the upper part of York county. He fell ill with symptoms indicating appendicitis and submitted to an operation. To their great surprise and embarrassment the surgeons found that the appendix had already been removed. The patient afforded the necessary explanation when he recovered from the ether by stating that he remembered then, "come to think of it," that he had been through a similar operation two years ago. Orators Have Free Hand. Prof. Masterman, lecturing at Cambridge on modern England and the liberty of the subject, said there was enough treason spoken in Hyde park, London, on Sunday afternoons to fill a German fortress. Instead, the orators went home to tea. It is a remarkable fact, however, added the lecturer, that there is no state in Europe where attacks on the sovereign are so rare or so strongly resented by the people at large. The Happiest People. The happiest people in the world are those who still retain something of the child's creative faculty of imagination, which makes atmosphere and color, and sun and shadow, and boundless horizons out of what seems to prosaic wisdom most inadequate material—a tuft of grass—a mossy rock; the rainpools of a passing shower, a glimpse of sky and cloud, a waft of west wind, a bird's flutter and song.—Whittier.

A favorite motto with many people in these latter days, when the wholesome gospel of cheerfulness is being preached so extensively, is, "Keep asmiling." It is a very good motto within limitations. In so far as its adoption as a rule of conduct prevents the wearing of a lugubrious countenance when no overwhelming grief or calamity is being endured or is impending, in so far as it overcomes the tendency to look on the dark side and anticipate evil, in so far as it enables one to look for the best in all situations and to keep up his courage when troubles threaten—in all these respects it is a maxim worthy of commendation. But it should not be interpreted too liberally; its spirit rather than its letter should be observed. Its spirit means a persistent hopefulness, a refusal to be cast down by discouraging or unfavorable circumstances, a sturdy defiance of adverse fate. Its literal observance may include these things, but it means also a perpetual grin, and a perpetual grin leads to thoughts of crime on the part of beholders. No one becomes so irritating or has such a maddening effect upon sensitive associates as the man or woman who wears the "smile that never comes off."—Indianapolis Star. RABBITS ARE HARD FIGHTERS. The Charge of Cowardice a Slander— Defeat of a Ferret. Tell a man that he hasn't the pluck of a rabbit and if he doesn't disprove it by hitting you he is certain at any rate to be extremely annoyed. Yet the taunt is a libel on the rabbit. A doe rabbit will fight like fury in defense of her young. She will charge like a battering ram and use those long sharp incissors of hers to capital purpose. An old buck rabbit is not to be lightly tackled by weasel, stoat or even ferret. On the sanded floor of a small public house near Chestnut a ferret of long experience was matched with an old lop-eared buck, the property of the landlord. The ferret made straight for the rabbit's throat, but the latter was in the air before master ferret could reach him, and leaping clean over the ferret's head let out with those powerful hind legs of his a kick which hurled the ferret bodily against the wainscot. Twice the ferret returned to the attack and twice he missed his grip and went hurtling through the air. The third repulse was enough for him. He knew he was beaten and could not be persuaded to stand up for a fourth round. — Pearson's Weekly. For Your Health. Conquer your moods; don't let your moods conquer you. People who give way to moods never amount to much because they are never masters of themselves. They never know in the morning whether they are going to do a good day's work or not, whether they are going to be a cheering or a depressing influence on the people around them. If they feel like being good-tempered, they will be; if they feel like "snapping" at everybody, they will snap. People who suffer from "moods" should be careful about their habits. They should be regular about meals. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. sleep, exercise and work. The condition of the health has much to do with moods, and there is nothing that contributes so much to health as absolute regularity. QUEER ENGLISH MILK WAGONS Gorgeous Floats with Brass Churns and Ben Hur Drivers. In English towns, a Canadian visitor declares in the Queen, the foreigner runs out to the pavement just to see that glorious chariot called a milk float go by—that gay bit of a two-wheeled thing, white and yellow, white and blue, or red, white and blue, with the shining brass churn erect at the side, the reins coming over the shining brass rail in front, the little square seat inserted at the rear, and the charioeteer standing at the back like Ben Hur and driving as much like that hero as—in a modern town where even motor cars are unknown—is practicable. Then the English milkman who comes on foot, with a modern yoke on his shoulders, and swinging at each side a brass-bound tin pail, in which is a queer little measuring dipper. Who could wish to have milk delivered in glass bottles, with a paper-sealed top, when he can have it measured at his door into his own jug in this quaintly curious fashion? What do microbes amount to when compared with the joy of the medieval! A Little Case of Telepathy. There is nothing strange to me in the operation of one mind upon another," the telepathic woman said. "Once when my sister I am very fond of was operated on I went with her and sat in the anteroom a long way off from the operating room. That is I walked up and down there, worried to death nearly about her, when all at once I threw myself into a big arm The Armenian Alphabet. An Armenian girl goes to school at four or five years old, but before that she has probably learned her "letters," which is almost an education in itself, as the Armenian alphabet contains 39. She learns these letters from a small slab of wood on which they are printed. This slab is fastened to a handle, making it something like a hair brush in shape. The Armenians boast that their formidable alphabet is so perfect as to give every sound known to any other nation.—Girls' Own Paper. Australia's Wild Oysters. Oysters are sometimes regarded as dangerous but they are not usually considered savage. A Queensland judge, however, has decided that they are wild boasts. Before a royal commission on the pearling industry, which has been sitting at Brisbane, a witness stated that eight years ago he had laid 100,000 shells in the neighborhood of Friday island. The Japanese stole the shells, and the district court judge held that as pearl shell oysters were wild animals there was no penalty for stealing them. Delays Are Dangerous.

The real question is, Which candidate will make the better President? Which is the wiser and steadier? Which man would you choose as administrator of your estate? Which would you select to manage your business? Which has the better training and more experience? Wednesday night at Boulder 300 colored people and many white men and women went out to hear W. B. Townsend discuss the issues of the campaign and Bryanism. Mr. Townsend entertained his hearers for two hours with his known force of argument and eloquence, being often compelled to wait for cheers and applause to cease to go on with his argument. At the conclusion of Mr. Townsend's speech Prof. Reed, of the law department of the State University, stood up and announced that he and the audience had been well repaid for attending the meeting, and said the colored people of Colorado should be proud of a man of their race of the ability and eloquence like that possessed by Mr. Townsend. At the conclusion of the meeting a reception was given in honor of Mr. Townsend to give him a chance to form the acquaintance of the people, who want him to make a return speech. Mr. Bryan never has handled a single foreign problem. He has governed no Philippines, regenerated no Cuba, built no Canal, voided no alien danger, saved us from no threatened peril. Mr. Taft has done all. It was his genius for the practical and devotion to humanity that took Philippine chaos and made Philippine order; took Philippine hate and changed it, by the alchemy of his tact, to Philippine love. It was his statesmanship that achieved the impossible, converted an oriental people in a voting citizenship, and laid the foundations for a future which, as God wills, may become a separate nation or a glad and patriotic part of this great republic. It was William Taft who set Cuba in order, established her feet in civilization's upward path; and it was he who, when so directed by President Roosevelt, who first advised with Mr. Taft, when these children of liberty tore his work to pieces, set up once more the blessed rule of order and liberty and law with a father's patience and a statesman's wisdom. It is he who is commanding the practical work of that greatest enterprise or human history, the building of the Panama Canal.

It was he whose counsel President Roosevelt sought at every crisis of his historic administration; he who helped avert war when little politicians and narrow minds would have plunged us into conflict. It was William H. Taft whom our President, when confronted with foreign perplexities and with the awful weight of our ninety millions' welfare on his heart, sought for strength and wisdom; and it is William H. Taft more than any man ever called to the leadership of the American people who has had the best training, the widest experience, and the wisest teaching to fit him for that glorious but serious task. --- --- PAGE.8.
