We Have High Prices and Low Pressure Our Only Hope of Relief from Water Company Extortion Lies in the Election of Officials Not Nominated by Its Political Machine TWENTIETH YEAR We Have Our Only Hope of R Off If Bryan is Our Friend He Should Speak Out. William J. Bryan and his national Democratic compaign committee are covertly attempting to secure the support of the negro voters. In this extremity to force Mr. Bryan's election upon the country, his campaign managers find themselves close to a powder magazine. They fully understand the attitude of Democrats in southern states on the negro question, and know that these Democratics would rebel against affiliation with negros. Mr. Bryan and his managers, however, are hopeful that they may utilize a certain portion of the negro voter in northern Democratic states, and even in northern Republican states, without it being discovered by the Democratic voter in the south. It would be interesting to know in detail just what Mr. Bryan and his managers are offering negroes in exchange for their votes. It it be patronage, the southern Democrat will have a reckoning on that score at a later day. If patronage has been promised with no intention of keeping the promise, Mr. Bryan and his managers would stand discredited as tricksters and political swindlers. If not patronage, the only other offer would be money, and it cannot be believed that Mr. Bryan would indulge in that kind of thing. The truth is, Mr. Bryan and his managers have nothing to offer the negro in exchange for his vote. They cannot give the negroes office, and they would not dare give them anything else, even if the negro would be willing to accept it. Though seeking votes, Mr. Bryan does not dare publicly to declare his views on question that affect the negro race. Bruce L. Keenan, of Tahlequa, nominee for presidential elector on the republican ticket in Oklahoma, addressed not long ago a letter to Mr. Bryan that put the latter's sincerity to a severe test. Mr. Bryan received the letter, but did not reply to it. Keenan pledged himself to vote for Mr. Bryan if the latter would make public his views on any of seven proposals. Mr. Keenan's offer was as follows: DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY OCTOBER 24 1908 Having been plundered over a term of years by extortionate rates of the Denver Union Water Company, it is of vital interest to the people of this city that the election at which the company's proposal for an extension of its franchise will be submitted, be conducted without fraud. It is the attempt on the part of this company to win the election machinery for this special election, that is making the trouble at this time. Give to it a favorable sheriff, district attorney, legislature and governor, and the monopoly it now enjoys of robbing the public will continue, no matter how overwhelmingly the people are opposed. The candidates upon the Republican ticket are not seeking election to the enemies of any one, but stand pledged to deal squarely by the city and county. However nice personally the democratic candidates may be, they were chosen by a convention dictated wholly by Speer Democrats, the particular pet political machine of the franchise holders of this city. It may be that the Water Company will make the city a fair proposal, but it certainly will not if we put the power in its hands to override us at will. Vote the straight Republican ticket, and then you can rest assured that you can make effectual resistance to further highway robbery, whether you pay water tax directly as owner, or pay it indirectly as renter. Now is your chance. Do not throw it away. No.1. State if you approve in a general way the course of southern sentiment on the race question, as indicated by constitutional and legislative enactments on the suffrage question respecting franchise, and if you would approve a change in the national constitution so that this programme could be said to be within and not without the constitution. If you approve this course of your southern allies I will support you for having the courage to say so; if you do not approve this course of the "solid south," and will say so, I will support you for having the courage to tell them wherein they are wrong. The thirteenth amendment to the federal constitution abolished slavery; the fourteenth gave civil rights to the freed people; the fifteenth prohibited suffrage or disqualification on account of race. No. 2. If you believe these amendments incorrectly prescribed the political and civil rights of the negro race, and will indicate the error, I will support you for having the courage of your convictions to speak on the subject. On the other hand, if you believe that these amendments correctly define the civil and political rights of the negro race; then I will support you for having the courage to say so. No. 3.

Now is your from the white man and the Indian in railroad waiting rooms and passenger coaches, then I will support you, provided you will have the courage at the same time to say why you never thought it necessary to advocate the "Jim Crow" railroad laws and separate schools in your own state of Nebraska. No. 4. If you believe there is a negro issue in the south, and define what that issue is so that there may be a moderately fair undertaking of the issue, then I will support you for the courage you may have in such a task. No. 5. If you will make clear that there is any national political issue on the negro question, pointing out where the northern and southern Democrats are united, and that this issue is opposed to a like issue of the Republicans, then I will vote for you for your discernment in being able to find such an issue in national politics. On the other hand, if there is no defined national issue between the parties, marking a living and distinct national policy, and you will tell your southern adherents that such is the case, I will support you for this act of courageous conduct. No. 6. If you will come to the south and make speeches to the negroes on the issues of political economics, or if you will have published addresses along the line of your interview, appealing to the negro for his support on the question of the tariff, for ex- FIVE CENTS A COPY Pressure in the Election of hine Gorgeous Musical Production of Belshazzar Belshazzar, the wonderful musical production, is enough of itself to warrant the attendance of any music lover at its presentation at Shorter Church next Thursday night. The poetry, the power, the scriptural association, is worth any one's time and money. Then it will be produced by the Azalia Hackley Club of thirty-five voices, of this singing society. Mrs. Hackley, while here, said it was making the most wonderful progress of any she had found throughout the country. Your presence will be encouragement to worthy students in the great art. Remember, next Thursday night at Shorter. ample, and will circulate these political documents, among the colored race, to influence his vote by "appealing to his intelligence as well as his patriotism," then I will vote for you for this act of high devotion to duty. No. 7. Men like Senator Tillman, who say that the negro has no right to any franchise, and that to control the negro it is necessary to use the shot gun, the bull whip, and the educational and grandfather restriction, and that when these fail other means will be invented to prevent the negro from voting, certainly must be facing an issue that requires the use of such measures. If not, they are attempting to overthrow the liberties of a race of people. In view of the fact that Senator Tillman is an aggressive and outspoken leader of the south, representative, and not exceptional, and a devoted adherent of yours, will you say just to what extent you share his views on this question? If you will be explicit wherein you agree and wherein you disagree with Senator Tillman, I will support you. This would involve your saying just what franchise a negro is entitled to, if any. Cole and Johnson are appearing to crowded houses in Chicago in the "Red Moon," while S. H. Dudley is outdoing himself in Philadelphia in the "Black Politician." His New Schedule. "Mister William," said the old Georgia darkey, "ef you'll gimme a beaver, an' a long-tail coat, an'a standin' collar, an' dem ol' shoes what you use ter see de snakes in, I'll go preachin' er de Gospill, an' won't ask no mor' favors er you 'twell nex' time!"—Atlanta Constitution. "As Vain as a"—Pigeon. The peacock is not singular in his self-admiration. Pigeons are so notorious for the same vice that it is, I am told, illegal to put a looking glass in a dovecot, as it would attract and retain the birds from the neighboring pigeonhouses.—George J. Murray, in London Spectator. The Latest Precious Stone. A new gem mineral—benitoite—has been added to the list of known precious stones. This is a titanosilicate of barium, having a blue color and a high refractive index. It is found in San Benito county, California. The Rash Plumber. "To save foolish workmen from incurring unnecessary risks," says the Builders' Journal, "is well-nigh impossible." Almost every year some rash, thoughtless young plumber rushes out and does a job of work.—London Globe. Its Faulty Construction. "I sat away up in front," Mrs. Lapsling was saying, "and yet I couldn't hear half the actors said. I tell you there's something wrong with the agnostic properties of that theater." Need a Governor. Nearly every ambitious man needs a governor, just as if he were a steam engine. In endeavoring to become a power in the world he is likely to burst his safety valve.—N. Y. Press. Aggravating. He may be a good man, but we don't like him—the man who is always saying: "As the poet says," and quoting what the poet says.—Atchison Globe. Not for Her. A woman never arrives at the point in life when she is glad to be told that she "doesn't look a day more than 40." Symbolic of Plenty. Orange-blossom was adopted for bridal-wreaths because the orange-branch bears fruit and flowers at once, and is thus a sign of plenty. Gratitude. "Gratitude," said Uncle Eben, "seems to be a feelin' that everybody thinks somebody else ought to be 'speriencin.'"—Washington Star. Sees Things Differently. When a woman gets past 40 she can't understand why any old widower wants to marry a young girl. A Sure Sign. When a man begins sympathizing with himself it is a sign that he is about to quit work.—Dallas News. A Word from Josh Wise. "If canary birds couldn't sing they'd have to hustle their own hemp seed." Better to Proceed Slowly. Hazlitt: Hasty climbers have sud den falls. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO Wise and Foolish Widows They tell of a woman in Coolidge who put up such a costly monument for her husband that she has had to wear old clothes ever since. Also of another widow who put up a modest little headstone and had money to buy herself nice clothes, and now has another husband paying for her coal and flour.—Atchison Globe. Inchcape Rock. Inchcape rock is east of the Isle of May, 12 miles from all land, in the German sea. This is the rock that figures in the story of Ralph the Rover, who is supposed to have cut the bell from the buoy in a mischievous spirit and later been wrecked on the rock as a result of his own work. Riches and Arrogance. Nothing is more hateful to a poor man than the purse-proud arrogance of the rich—but let the poor man become rich and he runs at once into the vice against which he so feelingly declaimed. There are strange contradictions in human character.—Richard Cumberland. The Irishman's Prayer. An Irish member of a gang of strike-breakers who were passing their first night in one of the buildings of a certain Chicago beef company, not long ago, had knelt in prayer at the side of one of the long line of cots just before retiring for the night, when suddenly a shoe sailed through the air and landed on the bed in front of him. Raising his eyes until they rested on this leather missile, the religious Celt broke off praying long enough to reach out and draw the shoe to him. Then in loud, fervent tones he concluded his prayer: "O Lord, Oi'll bother Ye no more if ye'll sind me th' mate to this wan!" A Yoga's Feat. For 14 years Bava Luchman Dass received from the priests of the Black Caves of central India the necessary education in order to become a yoga, as a yoga must be capable of taking the 48 postures of the Hindoo idols. Perhaps his greatest trick consists in balancing himself on the ends of his fingers while the whole of his body is in the air. Bava stated that in order to obtain the rank of yoga in the Black Caves of India he had to continue in this position on the ends of his fingers under the eyes of the judges, without a second's interval, for seven days and nights!—Strand Magazine. Dignity of Authorship. One of the abler modern writers made this confession the other day: "I am so devoted to my wife that I allow her to break in upon me whenever she pleases. Naturally, she cuts into my line of thought and often destroys the continuity of genius. The only way for me to do a good day's work is to quarrel with her, to make her so angry that she will cry, fuss, break a few dishes, smash a kitten, scald a puppy or two, then go to her room and stay there. By the time I have done a day's work she is in excellent humor and tired of being alone. Then we make up." Trouble. Nan—So you like Archie, do you? I always thought him just the least bit effeminate. Fan—Well, he's certainly a good deal more ladylike than you are." Origin of Pommes Souffles. Origin of Pommes Souffles. With reference to the fiftieth anniversary of the first railway in France, a French contemporary points out that it was in connection with this event that the virtues of pommes souffles were discovered. A French chef was traveling on the new line from Paris to St. Germain, and was preparing in the train the banquet which was to celebrate the opening. Just before arriving at St. Germain he threw some potatoes in the boiling butter. The train, however, was delayed, and the potatoes had to be taken out again. When the train restarted the potatoes were once again put in the boiling butter, and to every one's delight were found, on being taken out, to be deliciously light and inflated. The beauties of the pomme souffle had been revealed.—London Globe. Globe. Holland Has Cheese Carriers' Guild. The cheese carriers of Holland form a very ancient and exclusive guild, and no one who is not extremely clean in his habits and spotlessly white in dress would have the slightest chance of getting employment in the guild. The cheese markets, which are held once a week during the summer in the principal towns of north Holland, bring an element of gayety in the lives of the farmers, their wives and daughters, who always don their very best and wear all their gold ornaments and pearls for the occasion. At the same time the shopping for the whole week is done and carried back to the farms in the empty cheese carts. The May cheese, which is brought to market in June, is said to be the very best and choicest. Sunday Work. The small nephew from Virginia was making his first visit in the north. Came a rainy Sunday, and he suggested building a mansion of wood blocks. His uncle surveyed him amusedly. "Up here," he said, "we don't work on Sunday." The small boy reflected. "Well," he said at length, "we don't do no work Sunday either, 'cept read the Bible an' feed the hawgs." The Idle Chickens. Little Margie on her first visit to a farm was told to wander about the barn and search for eggs. Some time later the child returned almost in tears. "Couldn't you find any eggs, dearie?" asked her mother. "No," replied Margie, wearily. "I think it's mean, too, 'cause lots of hens were standing around doing nothing."—Lippincott's. His Natural Place. "I wonder," exclaimed the wrathy woman witness, "that the lawyer on he other side can lie easy in his bed!" "He can, probably," replied her husband, "but he prefers to do it in court." Lime Water Good for Teeth. Physicians who have experimented believe that excellent results are obtained for the teeth by the use of simple lime water. It is claimed that the reason of the fine bony structures of people and horses in the blue-grass region of Kentucky is due to the lime-soaked vegetation. It is argued that a mild amount of lime taken into the system when a child will improve the structural condition of the teeth. PAGE. 10. FEATS OF RAPID COMPOSITION. Quick Work of Some Writers of Popular Music. M. Bompard, a French musician who for a wager composed the music to a song in ten minutes, is a formidable rival to Mr. H. Trotere, of whose feats of rapid composition some remarkable stories are told. His beautiful song "Asthore" was, it is said, both written and composed within 40 minutes in Blanchard's restaurant; the famous melody of "In Old Madrid" was jotted down in a few minutes on a biscuit bag in a little public house in Rochester row, into which the composer rushed on his way from the Aquarium lest the air should escape him before he could reach home; "Go to Sea" was composed under similar conditions in a West End music shop; and—crowning feat of all—it is actually said that Mr. Trotere composed "The Brow of the Hill," wrote a letter and ran 400 yards to catch the post all inside of eight minutes. After this one learns without surprise that Sir Arthur Sullivan completed the overture to "Iolanthe" between 9 p. m. and 7 the next morning, and that to "The Yeomen of the Guard" within 12 hours.—Westminster Gazette. OLIVE THAT SHELTERED SAGE. Plato's Tree Still Standing Near Site of Athens' Academy. It is well known that olive trees will live to an extreme age, and trees are known which are many centuries old. What is known as Plato's olive tree is one of the oldest upon record. It stands near Athens and on the spot where the Academy formerly existed. In spite of its great age it still appears to be in a flourishing condition and has a vigorous foliage. Although somewhat damaged by the combats of the insurrection it will do doubt live for a long time to come. The proprietor of the ground, M. Vamvacks, had the tree examined by the naturalist, Miliarakis, in order to be assured whether the popular legend dating it from the time of Plato could be correct, and it was found that its age was sufficient to bear out the legend. As to popular belief, M. Camburoglus, conservator of the National library of Athens, states that tradition has it that the tree was no doubt already old when Plato sat under its shade.—Scientific American. Chrome Mining In Asia. For many years past chrome mining has been pursued as an industry in Asia Minor. The chrome is usually found on mountains from 4,000 to 5,000 feet high, and is removed from the pits to the railway station or market on the backs of camels. But while the chrome in the neighborhood of Smyrna brought £20 a ton, it now commands a very small price, being in this respect like antimony, so that it scarcely pays to mine it, and certainly not in districts remote from railways. As the chrome of other countries comes on the world's markets that of Turkey, whose mines have never been worked on a scientific basis with up-to-date machinery, must necesssarily decline in value. LADIES' TAILORING Fashionable dressmaking. designing. Mrs. I. M. McGuire, 2516 Curtis street. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Electrical Air Filters. Electric air filtration is the idea of an English engineer, and is based on the discovery that a body positively electrified by 100 volts or more will become covered with soot in a single day in a smoky atmosphere, while a negatively charged body remains clean. Inserting a sheet of wire gauze in the intake flue of a ventilating system and electrifying it by connecting to a 250-volt supply main, the gauze extracted a large quantity of soot from the air. New Kinds of Dogs. It is an astonishing phenomenon that 700 Pekingese, Poms, Japanese and toy spaniels should be collected at a ladies' show when it is remembered many of these species were not even known in England less than 50 years ago. And new species continue to come. The flat-coated Austrian dachshunds and the huge Pyrenean watchdogs are both new and are both species which have the best qualities in a dog, fidelity and intelligence. London Spectator. German Level of Comfort. Only by taking them into consideration can you explain the paradox that with higher rent, lower wages, and longer hours the German working class maintain a higher level of domestic comfort and physical vigor, and their children are better cared for than our own.—Dr. Arthur Shadwell, in London Times. Mourning Colors. Black is practically the prevailing color for mourning among Europeans and their kin the world over, but other peoples have other colors—the Chinese white; the Egyptians and Burmese, yellow; the Syrians, sky-blue; the Persians, pale brown; the Turks, violet.—New York American. Bad Climate for Furniture. China is a bad place for furniture. In the summer months it is so damp that furniture put together with glue falls apart and drawers stick, while in the dry months furniture goes to the other extreme and often exhibits cracks half an inch or more in width. Australian Country Homes. In the Blue mountains, three hours from Sydney, are many beautiful country houses, mostly bungalows with wide verandas all round, where Sydney people fly in February and March to get away from the heat of the city by the harbor. To Tempt the Fish. It was always the custom of the Maoris, the primitive inhabitants of New Zealand, to put the first fish that they caught back into the sea "with a prayer that it might tempt other fish to come and be caught." Uncle Eben on Spellbinding. "De difficulty 'bout some o' dese campaign speeches," said Uncle Eben, "is dat dey makes me so powerful enthusiastic dat I can't rememberjes' whut de gemman were talkin' bout!" —Washington Star. Two Things Worth Remembering. Learn these two things: Never be discouraged because good things get on so slowly here, and never fail daily to do that good which lies next to your hand.—George MacDonald. A Paragon That Eloped. The reward for hard work and meritorious conduct was awarded at Montmorency, France, a few days ago to Mile. Louise, who was crowned with a wreath as "rosiere" of the town, an honor which falls only to the most industrious and respected. The mayor, who conducts the ceremony, remarked that the town should be proud of so blameless a life as the "rosiere's." The same evening the paragon eloped with one of the local policemen, a married man. Pined for His Freedom. Applying for a divorce, an old Georgia negro said to the judge: "Hit only cost me a string er fish ter git married, jedge, but, please God, I'd give whale ter git rid er her." Derivation of "Poster." Posters took their name from the fact that in former times the footways of London streets were separated from the drives by a line of posts, on which advertisements were displayed. Logic and Beauty.

There is really but one publication, and that devotes its columns entirely to government notices. Correcting a Misapprehension. "You musn't call Gibraltar an island, Johnny," said Mrs. Lapsling. "It's a high point of land extending into the sea, and is called a prominent tory." Manhattan's Dense Population. Manhattan is the most densely populated island in the world. It has a population of 99,150 persons to the square mile. Ideals. Cherish ideals as the traveler cherishes the north star, and keep the guiding light pure and bright and high above the horizon.—Hillis. Confidence.

The house was beautifully decorated in autumn leaves, the predominating colors of the dining room being green and white. Streamers of green and white were fastened in each corner of the dining room, and tied in a large bow over the center of the table. The place cards were hand-painted autumn leaves and beside each one was a bunch of wild grapes. The menu was as follows: Soup, cream of tomato, pressed chicken, glaised brown potatoes, Waldorf salad, assorted sandwiches, olives, salted nuts, mints, coffe, ice cream and mustard. The center piece was a pyramid of choice fruits, from the Hines orchard. The afternoon was spent in various games and music. Two prizes were given to the two ladies that made the prettiest dolls of clothes pins. The first prize was won by Mrs. Wm. Moore, a hand-painted cake plate, the second by Miss Edna Price, a bottle of perfume. Miss Dora Newman delighted the ladies by singing "It's Awful Lonesome Tonight" in her low, rich contralto voice. The ladies departed at a late hour after receiving each a large basket of fruit, gifts from the hostess. Never before was there such a merry automobile party, as the ladies, as they were spun away to their various homes. Mrs. A. Morton, who has been indisposed for the past few weeks, is improving.

Las Vegas got one of the Denver chills and thinks that it will continue. The church is still progressing. They organized two clubs and the Literary Club will soon be organized. The president of the Gold Leaf Club is Mrs. J. Black; vice-president, Mrs. Frank Carroll; Mrs. Rice, assistant vice-president; Mrs. Edith Huston, secretary; Miss Blanche Dunlap, treasurer. Rev. P. D. Yocum is progressing nicely since he has been in this community. He holds his first quarterly meeting on the 25th of this month. Since the arrival of Rev. P. D. Yocum he has combined four souls to help him fight the battle. We hope they will be brave soldiers and not fall by the wayside. Mr. Jeffries went on a quail hunting trip last Sunday and expected to bring home about 150, but brought home only one, not enough for breakfast. The reason of his bad luck was that he saw a bear on the way-side which made him lose his grit, and the next time he goes hunting we hope that he will shoot the lion instead of making a dead run back to town.

DEEPLY HUMILIATED. Suffolk, Va., Oct. 13.—Mrs. Rosa Stone of Myrtle, Va., today was given a $400 verdict against the Norfolk & Western railroad for being compelled to ride seven miles in a "Jim Crow" car with colored folks. She asked for $1,000. This is the only case of that sort ever tried in Virginia. The jury allowed her $40 a minute for actual riding time. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KID? That Is the Third of the Series of Questions Asked. This is said to have really happened in a New York public school, and to have nearly cost the "innocent bystander," which happened in this case to be the boys' teacher, her license, her position, and goodness knows what all. One of the members of the board at that time, who spoke with a slight brogue, visited a schoolroom and gave out this problem: "If half a gill costs a half a mill, what will a pint cost?" On the back seat a little freckle-faced boy with one front tooth missing scribbled away like mad, then folded his hands and sat up. "Ah," said the board member, "there is a bright little boy who has finished the problem already. Bring me your paper, my little man, and let me see what you have said." The boy came, and "here is what he wrote:" "If a brick hit a Mick, what would happen to the brick?" SPECIAL LOCALS FOR RENT—Room in modern house, with use of kitchen, 2449 Glenarm Place.

PATIENTLY PROGRESSING PAGE 2 South Sea Islanders Have Unique Way of Sending Messages. The day was warm and the sailor turned on the electric fan and stood in its refreshing breeze with a pleased smile. "I'd have my head shaved for the summer," he said, "but on my scalp is tattoed in Polynesian, 'Kill Atara and Rarahu, the bloody traitors.' "You know, boss, I wunst lived down Samoa way. I lived the native life in a white hut thatched with palm leaves, my young wife wove garlands of fresh flowers every morning for my hair, and I fed like a native on nothin' but baked breadfruit. "Well, a war ariz between our tribe and another, and they sent me with a message through the enemy's country. Fust they shaved my head, then they tattooed the message on the skull, then they made me wait till the hair growed again." He smiled pensively. "Mine was a happy life in the South seas," he said, "and if you ever want a safe way to send a message, tattoo it on your messenger's scalp and let his hair grow over it." Fertile Lands of the Globe. It is estimated that the fertile lands of the globe amount to 28,000,000 square miles, the steppes to 14,000,000 and the deserts to 1,000,000. Fixing 207 persons to the square mile for fertile lands, ten for steppes and one for deserts as the greatest population that the earth could possibly nourish, scientists have arrived at the conclusion that when the number of inhabitants reaches 6,000,000,000 the earth will be peopled to its full capacity. At present it contains somewhat more than one-quarter of that number. If the rate of increase shown by the latest census statistics should be uniformly maintained the globe would be fully peopled about the year 2072. Camphor to Break Up a Cold. One of the most efficient remedies for breaking up a cold during its earliest stage is camphor. When the eyes begin to water and there is the accompanying tingling of the nose and feeling of chilliness, place three drops of camphor on a lump of loaf sugar and place the sugar in the mouth. Repeat this every 15 minutes till four or five doses have been taken. At the same time place the feet where they will become thoroughly warm. This will usually prove effectual in breaking up a cold if the cold is taken at its very beginning. For a child but one drop should be placed upon the sugar, and five or six doses administered.—Health. The Shrinking Sun. One hundred years ago the diameter of the sun was four miles greater than it is now. One thousand years ago the sun's diameter was 40 miles greater than it is at present. Ten thousand years ago its diameter was 400 miles greater than it is to-day. The present diameter of the sun is 860,000 miles, and if this diameter were to shrink to-morrow to the extent of 10,000 miles the change would not be appreciable to common observation, though a much smaller change would not elude the delicate astronomical measurement. - New York American. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD Common Causes of Insomnia-Indigestion and Hunger. Dr. William Stevens says that insomnia is not a disease itself, but the effect of an unhealthy condition of body or mind. When the cause is removed the insomnia may be expected to disappear. Every physician has had stubborn cases of it which would not yield to any treatment and for which a change of air or of scene became necessary. But such cases as these should not occur, and do occur only when the sufferer has neglected precautions that should have been taken when the trouble first made itself manifest. Insomnia results from causes which can be removed if attended to in season. The most common cause is found in the digestive organs. Either unsuitable food, causing insomnia as a feature of indigestion, or insufficient food, causing the patient to be kept awake by hunger. There are few things which can be universally recommended as diet for sleeplessness, since what will agree with one man will disagree with another. But two things that may almost always be recommended are lettuce and celery. No Place for Dogs. Is it impossible in Japan to keep a good dog? I have twice had my dogs disappear in a seemingly miraculous way. As I am well aware that there is a great demand for dog skins, especially those of young dogs, we have been careful in having our dog watched; nevertheless, he disappeared the other morning. Almost every foreigner has lost a dog or dogs, and even a sea captain who was three days on shore had his dog poisoned the first day he put his feet on land.—Japan Chronicle. Literal Facts. "Some of the most unlucky king and queens in history brought their misfortunes on themselves by their bad judgment in crises." "That's so; for instance, both Charles I. and Mary Queen of Scots at the critical moment of their careers, lost their heads." 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.

"I notice a peculiar thing about your hotel," said the boarder. "In all your guest rooms you have two very narrow windows, when one bigger one would do as well. I don't see the economy of such construction." "You don't eh?" chuckled the landlord. "Well, if you'll figger awhile you'll see that there ain't no trunks made that can be passed out through them winders." Problem in Anatomy. "I wonder if these menu writers know how much a leg of lamb costs," said a lady the other day, as she read for the fifth time a menu in a newspaper having that part of the young sheep as the meat for dinner. "It is all very well to get a leg of lamb if you have a large family," she said, "and can pay the price, but for a small family a shoulder of lamb is much better." Fooling with idioms. A foreigner, meeting an American friend, said to him, "How are you?" The latter replied, "Out of sight." The man considered this very clever, and decided to use the expression on the next occasion. Shortly after he was met by a friend, who asked, "How are you?" With visible pride he answered, "You don't see me." English Dress for Indians. It seems not improbable that the dress adopted by educated India, which is more or less of the western type, will also be adopted by the people at large in the future. The fondness of the orientals for bright colors may give rise to gorgeous neckties and gold-laced collars.—Hindustan Review, Allahabad. Women's Settlements. Many women are living in settlements in different parts of London, working on quietly and steadily day by day, seeking no glory or notoriety for their work, finding their happiness in humble service, ready to help where their help is needed.—Nineteenth Century. Do Something Worth While. You will find plenty of people eager to help you enjoy life; but you will only find happiness in being able to do something worth while, alone and unaided. If, in the doing of it, you can help others, so much the better. James Barnes, "The Clutch of Circumstance." Let Us Overcome Afflictions. Let us set all our past and present afflictions at once before our eyes. Let us resolve to overcome them, instead of flying from them, or wearing out the sense of them by long and ignominious patience.—Lord Bolingbroke. Superstition of Fishermen. In Japan among the primitive race of the Ainos even the women left home are not allowed to talk lest the fish may hear and disapprove, while the first fish is always brought in through a window instead of a door so the other fish may not see.

Allison, brother of Edward, came to the city this week to be present at the funeral of Gerald Allison, his nephew. He has been a deputy sheriff in Minneapolis for 17 years. After an illness of short duration, Gerald Allison, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Allison, died Friday of typhoid fever. His friends had practically no forewarning of the end, for he was of usual good health and except for the last fe wdays, hope of recovery was entertained for nim. The funeral services were held from the house under charge of Undertaker Gilmore, Monday afternoon, and the remains carried to Fairmount cemetery, where they were laid to rest beside his brother, Walter, who died only a few months ago. The hand of affliction is resting heavy on this family. Two sons, both of bright promise, taken in a half year, leaving their parents bereft. All that care and skill could do was done, but the inexorible Judge claimed his own. The funeral services were attended by the immediate friends and by the sheriff and deputies, with whom Mr. Allison is employed. Mr. Allison of Minneapolis, and Cam. Reed of Manitou relatives of the family were here in the city to be present at the funeral. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Allison wish to tender their numerous friends their sincere thanks for their kindness during the illness and bereavement by death of their son, Gerald, and especially for the beautiful floral offerings. News has been received from Chicago of the marriage of Mr. Joseph Gans and Miss Florence Crawford, being the beautiful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. R.

The Rhine Cafe has taken on its former cafe-like appearance since the removal of the lunch in the main dining room. The management expects to have three private booths, besides the private dining room, which is now being used. The improvements will be very complimentary to Mr. Herron. The Alliance program for Sunday, Oct. 25th, is as follows: Vocal solo, Miss Ruth Hoffman; "Social Condition of All Producers," by Attorney M. P. Collins of Boulder; reading by Miss Geraldine Troutman; the Amazon Quartette and String Band. Mr. McDonald, who is manager, will give the audience a great treat. The different phases of economy and labor will be the feature. Rev. A. M. Ward was being constantly pleased with the many congratulations for his very timely and pertinent sermon, "Rebuilding the Walls." The advice was so well taken and the increased interest clearly demonstrates that the Shorter congregation and membership thoroughly appreciates the fact when their leader sounds the spiritual alarm. Rev. J. B. Beckham and wife are planning to give Denver a surprise that she has not seen for many a day. Mrs. Beckham, who possesses such a genial personality, has been an additional help to the Reverend in the way of winning friends. W. F. Bland went to Salt Lake City last week for an indefinite stay. Walter Smith is visiting nowadays among his many Denver friends, as is also Aaron A. Smith of Colorado Springs. Rev. A. E. Reynolds, who has just returned from the west, has accepted the call to be pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church, which was located on Walnut street, but now on Larimer street until suitable headquarters can be secured. The congregation heard the Reverend preach strong sermon along the moral and spiritual lines which completely won for him their unwavering devotion. Rev. Reynolds is constantly pushing ahead in this community. We welcome the church on the ground that much good can be used to offset the immorality of our city. REPUBLICAN MEETINGS.

DEMOCRATS CANNOT SUPPORT BRYAN Leaders in the Party All Over the Country Quit the Nebraskan Office-Seeker and Come Out for Taft. "Cleveland Democrats" Refuse to Be Whipped Into Line and Organize to Fight the Man Who Disrupted the Party-Solid South Shows Signs of Breaking Up. One of the best indications that the Taft and Sherman ticket will sweep the country in November is found in the continued numerous defections of heretofore prominent Democrats from that party. Practically all of them give as a reason that they cannot support the thrice offered candidate and his changeable and unstable theories of government. They simply cannot bring themselves to be identified with Bryan. Perhaps the most mortifying incidents which the Democrats have experienced in the present campaign were in Massachusetts, where two big men named as Democratic presidential electors declined to serve on the ground that they were unable to support Mr. Bryan and greatly preferred Mr. Taft. These men were Ferdinand Strauss and C. H. P. Gould, of Lyons Falls, both business men of the first rank. Mr. Strauss, especially, has been prominent in the Massachusetts Democracy for a long time. Their declination to serve as Bryan electors caused a sensation in the old Bay State and throughout the country. Democratic Congressman for Taft Bugene Walter Leake, Democratic Representative in Congress from New Jersey, called at Republican National Committee headquarters early this month to offer his services on the stump for William H. Taft. Though he has been a stanch Democrat all his life, he is bitterly opposed to William Jennings Bryan and because he believes that the election of Bryan to the Presidency would mean the greatest calamity to the country since the civil war, he is ready to exert himself to the utmost to aid the election of Judge Taft. He is speaking at Republican rallies throughout the Eastern States. Democrate Organize to Fight Bryan. That the sentiments felt by these men are shared by many in New York is shown in the organization of the "Cleveland Democracy," an association whose principles are anti-Bryan, and which has been formed, according to the articles of incorporation, "to revive the true spirit of Democracy among the voters of Harlem and of the whole city." Headquarters have been opened and the club is doing active work, not, it is almost unnecessary to say, in the interests of the continuous Nebraska office-seeker. John R. Dos Passos, a leading New York lawyer and author, who has always been a Democrat, has come out in a long statement announcing his allegiance to Taft and denouncing Bryanism and the remnants of the party which Bryan controls. "I am a Democrat," he says. "I expect to cast my vote for Mr. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO Taft." William B. Davenport, a wellknown Brooklyn Democrat, for many years Public Administrator of Kings County, has denounced the Democratic platform and is now a vice president of the Taft-Sherman Lawyers' Club. Anti-Bryan Sentiment Widespread. Former Special City Judge Irving K. Baxter, of Utica, N. Y., who has always been a Democrat, and was elected on that ticket, not only has repudiated Bryan, but will take the stump and advocate the election of Taft and Sherman. Even up in Maine, where the members of the Democratic minority are supposed to be hopelessly hidebound, there is defection. W. H. McLaughlin, of Scarboro, for instance, announces that he has become so disgusted with Bryan in the Haskell controversy that he has swung over to the Republican party. After hearing Judge Taft speak at St. Louis, J. D. Houseman, of Denver, Cole., a well-known railroad builder, announced his conversion to the Republican party and its candidates. Mr. Houseman had been a loyal Democrat for many years. This incident of course, is a direct tribute to Judge Taft's powers as a campaigner, of which many evidences were produced on his now famous western trip. "Converations" in the West. At St. Joseph, Mo., one of the features was the "conversion" of W. F. Davis, a prominent Democrat, who went to a meeting at the stock yards to see Mr. Taft. After sizing up the latter Mr. Davis declared: "I thought I would vote for Mr. Bryan, but this man surely looks good to me." Another Missouri Democrat, E. B. Maywood, a Burlington Railroad conductor of St. Louis, evidently was similarly impressed; at any rate, he has announced that Taft will get his vote. Noticeable among the vice presidents at the Taft reception at St. Louis were James E. Smith, head of the St. Louis Business Men's League, and Frederick N. Judson, well-known lawyer, both Democrats who have declared their intention of supporting Taft. Some readers will remember that in 1900 Webster Davis, former mayor of Kansas City, and assistant secretary of the interior under McKinley, bolted McKinley to take the stump for Bryan. Well, Webb Davis now lives in Los Angeles, and is back in the Republican fold, this time to stay, he declares. He says Taft is going to win and he is boosting him all he can. In Chicago the Business Men's Taft and Sherman Club has been doing strong work in the campaign. Two of the organizers of the club were former Democrats. They are Franklin MacVeagh, wholesale grocer, and Frank H. Jones, secretary of the American Trust and Savings Bank. Antagonism to Bryan in South. A former mayor of Birmingham, Ala., spoke to a correspondent for the Baltimore American, as follows: "I can give you the names of 100 prominent men in this community who hope for Bryan's defeat. They are not going about beating drums or proclaiming their intentions from the house-tops, but they mean to vote the Republican ticket. They are tired of supporting a candidate who has always some fad to offer that is fundamentally wrong and foolish." A special correspondent of the New York Evening Post, writing from Atlanta, Ga., says: "There is every evidence on the surface now that the Republican vote in Georgia will be the C. J. T. HON.

William Weems, a lifelong Democrat of Frederick, Md., has announced that he will not support Bryan at the election. "Bryan is too chimerical in his views for the chief executive of a great nation," says Mr. Weems. John R. Dorset, of Baltimore, vicepresident of the William E. Hooper & Son Company, manufacturers of cotton duck, is another of the many Baltimore Democrats who have come out warmly for Taft. Gen. Simon Buckner, who ran with Palmer on the gold Democratic presidential ticket, in an interview in Baltimore, said that Bryan was not a Democrat and that he intended to vote for Taft. "Bryan is a populist and a socialist," said the general. largest ever cast Jerome Hill, and cotton broke South, writes to saying that heocracy and will like myself," he four years in Le years a Jefferson see in this mode anything to appear or for the best his people.

I was actually contemplating—in fact, I had just got to the point of putting the delicate question. We were in the drawing-room. The child was playing in the corner. Forgetting all about that, I put my arm fervently round the widow's waist and implanted a passionate kiss upon her lips, when the child started up and rushed at me saying: 'Don't you kill my mamma!' and ran screaming into the kitchen calling for the servants. "But the worst came a few nights after. I called at the house. There were several ladies there, and the child was being petted all round. Of course, the widow was friendly, but that child deliberately turned her back upon me. I didn't mind that; but the mother, to be nice, said: 'My darling child, don't you know Mr. Blank?'

Prince's Gift Used by Recipient as Mo- tive Power for Ferry. One must not look a gift horse in the mouth, much less a gift elephant. As that bulky animal has been found to be available for many purposes, it is perhaps well, {f there is no immedi- ate use for such a present, to hold on to the creature, and the need is pretty sure to turn up. Such a case is re cently reported in one of the news- papers. A Hindu not long ago chanced to save the life of a prince, who, in grati- tude, presented his preserver with an elephant. The gift proved to be very much of a “white elephant” in the proverbial sense, although in actualit~ it had no claim to such distinction The aninial’s appetite proved too great a drain upon the owner’s humble cir- cumstances, and the recipient was cast- ing about to rid himself of his present, when a happy thought struck him. His little dwelling stood near the brink of a turbulent river. Floods were frequent, boats often carried away and crossing rendered impos- sible. One day, when the elephant was bathing in the stream, it occurred to its proprietor that he could turn the animal into a ferryboat with con- siderable profit. He built a heavy craft, and attached it by stout traces to the elephant, who stemmed the strongest currents, dragging the well- laden boat behind him. The Hindu no longer regards his present as an en- cumbrance.—Youth’s Companion. Culture. These things I mean: clear and pen- etrative vision, the skill to ascertain the half-hidden fact, to generalize the relation, to: ground the assertion and to give the truth its bearings; and be- sides these, powers of the intellect, a sympathetic interest in all that touches life; a most tenacious will, intelligently set for things of value in themselves. All these are the very heart's desire of any cultural process that really cultures. . . . Men are men as well as workmen.

A ‘merchants’ carnival” was in progress, and all the maidens of the village were representing the various shops. Pretty Sarah Moffatt, in a lace gown strung with garlands of bon bons, advertised the principal candy store. At the beginning of the festival Sarah fairly glistened with attractive confectionery, but as time wore on the girl’s decorations dwindled. By the final act, not a bonbon glistened among Sarah’s ruffles. “Where in the world,” asked the stage manager, noting the plainness of Sarah’s attire, “are all your decora- tions? Have you lost them?” “No,” returned Sarah, “they’re per. fectly safe. I'm wearing them inside.” —Youth’s Companion.

"No, I can't say that we have a large number of comic incidents happening here daily," said the drug clerk. "As a matter of fact, the drug business is inclined rather to the serious side of things naturally, but we do have funny things happen occasionally, like this morning, when a little girl came in with a prescription that she said she wanted put up in hatsules. "Hatsules?" I says, sort of puzzled like, because for the moment I didn't fall to what the little girl meant. " 'Yes, sir, hatsules,' she says, just like that, and then it began to percolate through my brain just what the little girl did mean, and I says to her then: " 'I guess you mean capsules, don't you?' and she says: " 'Why, of course I do. Hatsules!' she said, and laughed right out as she said it. 'Of course I mean capsules! How could ever I get it twisted up like that?' "And so we put the medicine up in capsules and the little girl took it and carried it away. "And really that wasn't the most comic thing that ever happened in the world; but, as I was saying, you don't exactly expect to have funny things happen in a drug store, and so that call for hatsules kept us cheerful here for three-quarters of an hour."—New York Sun. ACCEPTED VERDICT OF DOCTOR Great Painter Heard His Sentence and Calmly Passed Away. When Turner, the famous painter, was dying at Chelsea he sent in despair for a Ramsgate doctor who had done him some good during his recent stay at that place, and who, he hoped, might take a different view of his case from that which the London physicians had expressed. The doctor arrived, and confirmed the opinion that the artist had very little time longer to live. "Wait a bit," said Turner to the doctor, "you have had nothing to eat and drink, yet, have you?" "No, but that's of no consequence." "But it is," replied the painter. "Go downstairs and you will find some refreshment; and there is some fine brown sherry—don't spare it—and then come up and see me again." The doctor refreshed himself and then came back to the patient. "Now, then," said Turner, "what is it? Do you still think so badly of my case?" The doctor regretfully said he could not alter his former opinion. The artist shook his shoulders, turned his face to the wall and never spoke again!—Dundee Advertiser. Yews in Churchyards. The object of planting yews in churchyards has been much disputed. Some antiquarians have asserted that the custom arose in order to supply bows for the purpose of archery, but this idea is in the highest degree unlikely. Gilbert White suggested that one object might have been to serve as "a screen to churches by their thick foliage from the violence of winds." They might also, he thought, have been placed as a shelter to the congregation assembling before the church doors were opened, as an emblem of mortality by their funeral appearance. Perhaps rather, as the learned Rav suggested, the yew was THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO planted in churchyards because, from its evergreen foliage and the great age to which it attained, it was regarded as a symbol of immortality. Leaf That the Devil Tore. In the library of the Massachusetts Historical society is a leaf of a sermon on which is written the following memorandum by Dr. Elliott: "Dr. Cotton Mather's leaf of a sermon which the devil was so spiteful as to tear. The leaf has been torn, and near the rent is the following memorandum in Mather's own handwriting: 'While I was preaching at a private fast (kept for a possessed young woman)—on Mark ix., 28-29—ye Devil in ye Damsel flew upon mee, and tore ye leaf, as it is now tore, over against ye text.'" Strange Human Nature. "Hit's a mighty strange thing," said Broaher Williams, "dat w'en we lays up treasures in heaven we still spends all we got on earf wid de doctors to keep us fum gwine whar it is! We pray erbout it, and we sing erbout it—streets er gold an' milk an' honey, but somehow or other we don't feel lak walkin' on a shiny pavement, an' milk an' honey don't seem ter suit our appetite! I reckon it's des po' human natur' showin' up what hit's least expected. We is all weak critters!"—Atlanta Constitution. First National Exhibit. The London Society of Arts is entitled to the credit of having originated national exhibitions, when in 1761 it held a show of agricultural and other machines in its rooms. The idea of an international exhibition, however, was long viewed with disfavor in all countries, a French minister of commerce even going so far as to suggest that a proposal for the representation of foreign products at a French exhibition emanated from the enemies of French industry. To Fall Back Upon. "We put that motto back on the coins, anyhow," said the congressman. "Yes," answered the constituent. "and in view of what you fellows have accomplished during this session that motto affords us our only consolation." Prosperity and Adversity. If we do not suffer ourselves to be transported by prosperity, neither shall we be reduced by adversity. Our souls will be proof against the dangers of both these states; and, having explored our strength, we shall be sure of it; for, in the midst of felicity, we shall have tried how we can bear misfortune.—Lord Bolingbroke. Thoreau's Sensible Answer. When the forest-haunting hermit Thoreau lay on his deathbed, a Calvinistic friend called to make inquiry regarding his soul. "Henry," he said, anxiously, "have you made your peace with God?" "John," replied the dying naturalist, in a whisper, "I didn't know that God and myself had quarreled!" Derivation of "Sheeny." The word "Sheeny," as applied in an opprobrious way to Jews, is by some identified with the word "Chien," which is French for "dog." But others identify this word with "Shien," the initial letter in "Shekinah," which makes the original application of the term an honorable one.

DUNWUIGLY WGnlo INU AppUal wv uur «on Party? _ Can We Afford to Support a Labor Union Party? ‘Fhe campaign among the colored voters of the country that is being wages on behalf of the Democratic nominee, possesses one feature that we consider so dangerous that we ask the race to stop and consider. We refer to the utter absence of argument addressed to us as American citizens, equally interested with white Americans in the prosperity and future sta- bility of the government. Every appeal known to the whole range of human sentiment from love to hate is being made, but not one word have we heard on seen or even been told of, that claims for Democracy superior administrat- ive’ or legislative ability over Republicans. We recognize that in this country we have.an additional problem over other wage earners, but we deny that this problem relieves us of the usual responsibilities and opportunities of American citizenship. Therefore, for Democracy to make an appeal to us to support it without reference to the effect of its policies upon our liveli- hood, is to say that we are creatures of sentiment entirely and are devoid of ordinary business sense. It may be that Democratic doctrine is productive of “the full dinner pail,” but Bryan reserves that argument for union labor, and it is toc much even for him to attempt to catch the negro vote and the union labor vote in one net. White people talk glibly of us as a child race and we can understand them offering us the red stick candy of “revenge for Brownsville’ instead of more substantial advantages. But we object to any negro, even though he be a sincere Democrat, coinciding with them in their estimate of us. We are men! We should be appealed to as American: citizens! Our rights are abridged, our opportunities are limited, but ovr ballot is the equal of any man’s, and we refuse to do the man’s part and be denied a man’s considera- tion. The best business judgment of the country, regardless of party, has said that Bryan’s idea of guaranteed bank deposits is not practical. They have put it in a class with free silver, as hasty pudding to catch unthinking peo- ple. It is not good economics. It is just as it would be to tax all newspapers to save incompetent publishers from the results of their folly. Bank laws need revision so as to give greater protection for the people’s money, but Bryan aggravates the disease, not remedies it. The tariff agitation is, of all subjects, the one least susceptible to solu- tion by political parties in general. These are business matters, requiring the greatest amount of technical knowledge. No mere politician knows the cost of production nor cares. Office is what interests him. Success has come under protective tariff, and careful investigation of conditions is what is promised by the Republicans and a reduction if conditions warrant. In this one thing can be seen the essential difference between Republican admin- istration of the government and Democratic attempts. The one investigates and acts, the other promises to act along lines laid down ahead of investi- gation. We might go on to tell of the canal, of the wonderful blessings that have come to millions of our own race through pacific interference in Cuba, Porto Rica and the Phillipines, any one of these acts being enough to establish the party doing it as capable, but we rest with what you know. Excepting a six- months’ scige resulting from the panic of last fall, times have been good, work plentiful and the dinner pail has been full. We will grant all kinds of Demccratic theory for argument’s sake, but we insist that the substantial advantages in living that have been present under Republican rule be not thrown away running after theories. We cannot eat dreams. We have seen the beneficent results of good government so great as to nullify in a few months’ time, the panic which involved the whole eastern financial system. What more can we want? Shall we sacrifice all this to revenge’ Brownsville? Shall we risk Democratic control of the destinies of our race, in order to hit back at Roosevelt? Shall we risk next year’s comforts to elect 2 man presi- dent who is so cowardly that he has not raised his voice in our behalf in the whole twelve years of his public life, and who now with the possibility of win- ning our support clings to his Southern advisers, who are our enemies? Let's be sensible. We must preserve our prosperity and our existence first of all, and God help us if Bryan with his bad policies, and his union labor, _and his Southern advisers wins the presidency. ; And to think that after all that Foraker has done for the negro race, if he is to go into political oblivion as a result of the Hearst exposures, it will be due to a black man. The frony of fate was never clearer. It may be the interests of good govern- ment have been served by the ex- posures, but it shames us to think that a member of our race was false to the trust wis employers placed in him. Mon»y is a power, but some- times we buy it at too great sacrifice of honor and confidence. The clubs of the eity have joined in with the Lucy Thurman W. C. T, U. and gave a reception to the color: ed delegates in attendance upon the national temperance convention in this city. Shorter church was bril- Nant with the beauty and wit of the fair sex Thursday night and talks and sociability were the order of the eve- ning. Denver is entertaining a num. ber Of brilliant women and several can be heard before they go away home. They are taking part in the de- liberations of the national body and are holding up the honor of the race. Be not deceived! When you write the word “Republican” on the top of your ballot November 3, you vote for the one and only Republican party and for the entire national, state and county tickets, There is no confusion except in the columns of the opposi- tion press. The national and state platforms are clear and outspoken and carry the progressive ideas for which the party has always stood. Be not deceived! Vote the “Repub- lican” ticket. Men who claim to be members of the Republican party and run upon other tickets, are porters from the party and are not recognized by any of the party conventions. KEEP YOUR PLUCK. When you acknowledge you're down and out, you're licked. But so long as you swear that you you win, won't give in— That you'll hang-on and bang-on until No matter how hard you were cuifed and kicked, No matter how sadly your faith was tricked— If you just remember what brought you low And keep away from the undertow, It’s only a matter of holding tight Before you're back in the big world fight! But the man who pines and the man who whines, r Who sulks away from the skirmish lines, Who hasn't the grit to swing and hit, And slug his way, never counts a bit. He isn't worth bothering over a m)n- ute— ° He's out of the game and never was in ft. A man who is really a man keeps his luck, Jo leng as he keeps a good chest full of pluck. DENVER ITEMS --- Maybe it was the weather, maybe it was the fraternity, maybe it was the Show Girls, but whatever it was, certainly the biggest crowd in many a day assembled was the one or Wednesday night, when the Knights of Pythias of Damon Lodge and Mrs. Jessie Nickens - Reese and her Show Girls entertained all Denver and then some. It was a screaming success. The amateur talent of the city stands nearer and dearer to its pleasure-loving soul than does that of most other cities, and the people seem to delight in giving the encouragement of its presence. Mrs. Reese is a capable stage manager as well as performer, and makes a "hit" with her productions. Nine numbers, beginning with Mrs. Reese and chorus and ending with a splendid staging of Cole and Johnson's Indian song from the "Red Moon" were presented. The entertainment so far as the Knights were concerned, was handled by Chairman Henry Hinkle and committee. They have reason to be elated, for they carried out the duties of hosts to perfection, and everyone had the best time. The lady who lost her furs just as the curtain went down on the last scene can secure them from C. W. Young of 1934 New Haven street Mrs. J. S. Mason and daughter, who have been sick for six weeks with scarlet fever, are able to be out again and wish to thank their friends who were so kind to them during their sickness. Dr. Spratlin was the attending physician. The Life Line Club will meet next Thursday with Miss Wilson. On Friday night, Oct. 30, it will give a Hallowe'en social at 2531 Stout street. Louise Rugg. who died last Friday, was buried Wednesday from the mission at Nineteenth and Wewetta streets by the Lawhorn company. The interment was at Riverside. A. M.

Mrs. Jefferson of Colorado Springs is here visiting her sister, Mrs. Moore. She will remain two weeks and then probably come here permanently. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L. Foster are now living at 2032 Humboldt street. The Lawhorn Company has the remains of P. J. Foster of Alabama who died at the County hospital Thursday. Mrs. Lucy Thurman, the National W. C. T. U. organizer, will lecture Sunday morning at 11 o'clock at the Central Baptist Church, at the corner of Twenty-fourth and California.

Ross succeeded in clearing Will Hays, Thursday, from the charge of an assault to do serious bodily harm upon one Alexander Anderson, in the West Side criminal court. Lawyer Ross was highly praised by the court attaches for his success. Leon Black was baptized by Rev. A. M. Ward last Sunday night. Watch for the Eureka Literary program at the churches. Rev. S. A. Norris of Butte, Mont., is in the city and will fill the pulpit at Zion Church, Sunday. Belshazzar, the wonderful musical production, is enough of itself to warrant the attendance of any music lover at its presentation at Shorter Church next Thursday night. The poetry, the power, the scriptural association, is worth any one's time and money. Then it will be produced by the Azalia Hackley Choral Club of thirty-five voices, of this singing society. Mrs. Hackley, while here, said it was making the most wonderful progress of any she had found throughout the country. Your presence will be encouragement to worthy students in the great art.
