J. M. JOHNSON'S MIGHTY Modern Minstrels EAST TURNER HALL THURSDAY DEC. 3 FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 28 1908 FIVE CENTS A COPY NEW REMEDY FOR RACE PROBLEM Elgin (Ill.) Press. The Negro question will be one of the many problems that will be discussed at the Catholic Missionary Congress, which will open in Chicago next Sunday. There is a strong movement in the church for greater attention to missionary work among the Negroes, not in the foreign lands, but in the United States, particularly in the South. It is claimed by many who have worked in the field that in the conversion of the Negroes to Catholicism lies in the solution of the race problem. Reduced Race Friction. As a tender to prove that their religion diminishes, point to Mexico, South America, the islands of the Caribbean, where Spaniards, Indians, Portuguese and Negroes mix without trouble; the friendly relations between the Catholic Indians, and French and Spanish in California and Canada, and claim that in the few places in the South where the Negroes have become Catholic, race troubles have disappeared. Several priests will probably be present from Texas to press these points, and the Very Rev. John E. Burke, of New York, direction general of the Catholic bureau for work among Negroes, will address the congress Monday afternoon. The principal appeal will be for the education of more Negro priests, and their support in the mission field. There are at present only eight Negro priests in the United States, and most Negro congregations are ministered to by white priests, St. Monica's church in Chicago being an example of this. Plan Protection of Faith. Outside of the subjects of Negro and foreign missions little attention will be devoted to missionary work in the sense of converting non-Catholics. The primary aim of those in control of the congress is to protect the faith of those who already profess allegiance to the church. It is estimated that over 10,000,000 men and women who came to the United States professing the Catholic religion, have fallen away from it through being scattered in communities where they were not in touch with the faith for many years. Even in the cities this has been true, where foreigners have fallen away through finding no priest who could hear their confessions in their own language or where their large numbers prevented the priests ministering to them adequately. GOOD PROGRAM SUNDAY. As every organization at times has its drawbacks and hitches, this was the case of the Alliance. But Sunday the musical program will be rendered as follows by the orchestra: (a) "Kansas City Spirit," Sorrentino; (b) Dance Mexicana, "Dark Eyes," Moret; sections from "Woodland," Luders, and overture, "Poet and Peasant" by Von Suppe. The address of the evening will be delivered by the brotner of Hon. Edward O. Walcott, Henry W. Wolcott, on "Dishonesty's Success." The program will promptly begin at 4 o'clock sharp and all the members are urged to be present to hear this message to the people at 1712 Curtis street. A carload of cattle was sold on the local market this week by the Cooper Bros. They brought a good price and were a sale that was representative of the best endeavors of the race. COLORED SOLDIERS GOOD NEIGHBORS PLEDGED TO NEGROES FOR A SQUARE DEAL. The election of Judge Rucker on the Democratic ticket as congressman-atlarge for this state hakes his personality especially as it is presented to colored people of interest. We reproduce a letter which he sent prior to his election to the colored manager of the local and state Democracy. Rucker Ridge, Fort Logan, Colo. October 17, 1908. Mr. C. W. Buord, Chairman Bryan and Kern Negro Distribution Bureau of the West: Dear Sir:—In view of the fact that I am asking the suffrage of the voters of the First congressional district for election to congress, I deem it a duty as well as a privilege to address your organization, through you, and set forth my views on certain questions that are of great interest to your organization. First-It is my firm conviction that the Negro will be of the greatest economic and political benefit to his own race, as well as to our common country, by viewing all public problems from the standpoint of an American citizen, rather than from the standpoint of belonging to a certain race. If the Negro wants to become a more important actor in our governmental and industrial life, he must demonstrate his ability against all comers and not rest his case because of belonging to any particular race. If I am elected to congress I shall raise my voice and use my influence to give all American citizens an equal chance before the law and in our commercial life, regardless of race or creed. Those two instruments, the Declaration of Independence and the constitution of the United States, upon which our government is built, abolished the questions of races or creeds. The man or party who endeavors to inject religion or the color line into politics is an enemy of the Republic. Second-If I am elected to congress I shall use my best endeavors to have what is commonly known as the "Brownsville case" reopened, in order that the injustice done those troops, may be repaired as much as possible. The arbitrary action of the president in this case cannot be excused from any angle, at which it is viewed. If such action had been taken by the Czar of Russia or the Sultan of Turkey, it would not have caused so much surprise, but at the same time would have met the universal condemnation of the civilized world. The action of the secretary of war, who is now the Republican candidate for president, in holding up the "Brownsville" orders of the president for thirty-six hours, leads one to believe that he did not approve of them, while at the same time, he did not have the backbone to protest or refuse to carry out such iniquitous proceedings. In closing permit me to say that I have lived adjacent to Fort Logan for twentyone years. In all this time I never saw a more orderly regiment than the Twenty-fifth infantry, a Negro regiment that was stationed there for some little time. Trusting that your organization will achieve the purposes for which it was called into existence, and wishing you success, I am, A. W. RUCKER. HAS SEVERE TEST HOW RAILROAD LOCOMOTIVE IS "TRIED OUT." Actual Work on the Road Is Super seded by Observations Mechanically Made by Engineer In Ordinary Roundhouse. Engine No. 0000 of the Pennsylvania, the last work of the locomotive builder, rolled out of the construction shops, possessed of the idea that somewhere near by awaited a "Congressional Limited" or a "Pennsylvania Flyer" or a "Pennsylvania Limited" train ready for her. Instead, No. 0000 went on a treadmill to test her power, says an Altoona (Pa.) dispatch to the New York Herald. Because of the care with which she was built, engine No. 0000 thought that she was about the best thing that ever had been turned out in the locomotive line. Naturally she thumped and snorted when she slid into the big roundhouse in Altoona, with dead engines lying all about her, and climbed up on a peculiar contrivance which seemed to be just so many huge wheels revolving on axles so arranged that a wheel met each of hers. To her wonder an engineer climbed into the cab, two firemen took their position, and soon she found herself humming with all the power of which she was capable. The steam shot into her tubes and chests, her great wheels began to revolve and she found herself running away. "Oh, dear!" she said, tearfully, "I'll smash something, I'm sure—I'll go through 'the side of the shop. I'll hurt somebody or I'll hurt myself. I'll—" She stopped. To her surprise she was doing nothing of the kind. As fast as her wheels revolved so did the wheels upon which she rested. She wasn't going anywhere, and although her driving rod became simply a sheen of steel she remained stationary. She was on the treadmill, as helpless as a kitten, and what was more, she was at the mercy of one man in greasy overalls, who was making her perform as easily as a trainer manages a puppy in vaudeville. In the old days when an engine was built it was the custcm to test her by sending her out on the road. Kipling once wrote a story describing how one of the Pennsylvania's aristocrats was tried out. It was usual then to take the engine, hitch on heavy freight cars, send her out over the line, on levels and tangents, on curves and grades, until she showed what was in her. But nowadays the railroad men want to know more, and they want to know it before they intrust a passenger or freight train to her mercies. The man in the overalls got as much out of No. 0000 before he was through with her as a small boy gets out of an orange. When he left her on the tread the first thing he did was to let her wheels revolve to capacity, for in that way he figured the maximum speed. Then he coupled to her an arrangement with a dial attachment and began to test for her pulling power. By a backward pull he made her draw the equivalent of everything from a baggage car to a milelong freight train. Now she was to all intents and purposes racing over the Jersey meadows, the track clear and the way straight. now she was striking the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. graze on the other side of Johnstown and panting like a human being in distress. Stronger and stronger grew that backward pull, until No. 0000 found herself slowing up. She begged and squealed and groaned, but the pull was merciless. Slower the wheels revolved and then she stopped—she had reached her limit. She darted forth again, only to be checked, and after a time she was required to start, or try to start, again, with every brake, bar, lock and lever set wrong. This was to learn her starting power—a most important thing in railroading. She got away again and then came down to the fine points of the test. All the time the engine was pulling and hauling, racing and checking, her steam gauges and water gauges had been telling little stories of their own, and their stories were listened to with interest. They were telling about the pressure of the steam in the boiler, with the amount of water and coal used. They were saying whether the amount of fuel was producing the maximum of steam or whether there was a mistake somewhere. They were telling as plainly as words will whether the boiler was large enough for the grate or the grate too large for the boiler. Speed and pull and pressure and effectiveness of parts do not end the tests of No. 0000. Another important thing is determined while she is on the treadmill, and that is her best load. It is strange, but true, that engines for some reason never are exactly alike. Once the test was to hitch cars to an engine "until she lay down and cried," as they said; that is, till she could not pull another car over the line marked out. Nowadays they never do that, but by a scientific arrangement of pulleys, levers and wheels strike the mean between too much weight and too little—the exact point where the machine can do its best work, the shortest time, under the most adverse conditions. Deepest Underground. The Charing Cross, Euston, and Hampstead Railroad can boast of having the deepest underground station in the world. This is at Hampstead, England, and is 185 feet deep. BY THE WAY. Few lives are better than they seem to be. We say our conscience is good if it suits ourselves. Everyone will have his turn in the court justice holds. The oftener people are in love the less they know what it is. Educating is making pupils able to learn and to use what they learn. No man is a nobody, but it may take a great many men to furnish a somebody. The chief work of a great and true man is bringing the world to know what he is. The only way some can get themselves seen is by not being in the majority crowd. Science hasn't yet got where it can see how much truth there is in "superstitions."—Grand Rapids News. Success too often digs the grave of genius. The three Fates are devotion, divorce and death. The pinnacle of fame—but would it be comfortable? At least Eve had the satisfaction of knowing she was the only girl in the world. Even living in this vale of tears sometimes gets to be a dry-as-dust performance. A shop girl's idea of an adventure is fainting in the arms of a good-looking policeman and having him turn out to be a lord. Wisdom sits in the market place and weeps because she's such an everlasting bore nobody wants her even to chaperon a Sunday-school picnic. No mere man can ever hope to understand why a girl is most angelically sweet just before she is getting ready to flare up in a diabolical fit of temper. When philosophers can give us something more comforting to think about in the dark it will be time enough to quit believing in heaven's angels. Cupid usually shies off from the woman who wears the common-sense shoes because he has a deep-rooted suspicion that she'll make him shine them. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. A misfit truth is the worst of all lies. The average woman is a good actress off the stage. A good neighbor is as great a blessing as a bad one isn't. Warm language is sometimes used in demonstrating cold facts. The poorer a man is the less likely he is to be called a grafter. For every patient that swears by a doctor at least a dozen swear at him Occasionally a couple marry and live happily ever after they are divorced. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet and cost as much when out of season. It's awfully hard to be popular with yourself and please your neighbors at the same time. When the average man fails to make good he begins to look around for some one to blame it on. Just because a married man does the things his wife wants him to do is no sign that he is stuck on the job. With the waning of the honeymoon Cupid again gets busy and substitutes a pair of green goggles for the rose-colored glasses.—Chicago News. SAID BY THE BACHELOR GIRL. Between lovers a little confession is a dangerous thing. PAGE.10 When a man declares that making love to a particular woman "wouldn't be right," he really means that it wouldn't be safe; but he is too polite to say that. English Women Restore Their Looks by a Champagne Plunge. London is responsible for the invention of the now famous "lemon baths" which are said to have done so much for the complexion of Queen Wilhelina of Holland. A well-known West End beauty specialist declares that she was the first to "try it on" her customers. "But," she added, "for invigorating the system temporarily and doing away with fatigue there is nothing to touch a bath of champagne and eau de cologne. It will do as much as a week end visit to the country or a five-hour trip in a balloon. I give them on the premises, and they cost from five to 15 guineas. I sometimes use nine big bottles of champagne and four quarts of eau de cologne for one bath. A little while ago I gave several of these to a prospective American bride who had been so utterly worn out with the gayeties of the season that all her beauty was gone. A couple of these baths restored animation to her face and brightness to her eyes. In her case, which was a very bad one, I also administered oxygen. "Of the 'flower' bath I also make a feature. Roses, mignonette, lavender and hellotrope all play an important part in it. Earlier in the year I used a great deal of wallflowers, which give forth an exquisite aroma. Though not generally known this odor has a highly sanitary effect of its own. I steep the flowers in a certain spirit which takes out all the essence and this is poured into the bath." BURGLAR HAD TO MAKE CHANGE Bankers' Business Instincts Asserted Themselves in Emergency. A group of his friends were discussing William Winslow Sherman, the old banker who died not long ago. "He had the coolest nerve of any man I know," said one. "Three or four years ago when Sherman was an old man and partially crippled by reason of a fall from a horse, he entered his bedroom late at night to find a masked burglar ransacking it. The thief had a big gun trained on Sherman in a minuete. The banker just waived it aside with a tired hand. 'Put that away,' he said, irritably. 'Let us discuss this matter like gentlemen.' The burglar was so surprised he laughed. 'Now, you could hurt me if you wanted to, and might get away with some little knicks-knacks,' said Sherman. 'But you might be caught, and there's a slight probability that you could dispose of my toilet articles profitably. What would you consider a fair cash proposition to go away?' They talked it over in all peace. The burglar thought he ought to have $10, but Sherman, after inquiring into the man's habits, said $8 was enough. 'You see,' he said, 'you're a known thief. If this were your first offense I'd pay your price, but now the police have your picture you ought to be glad to accept any fair compromise and run no risk.' The burglar finally agreed to take $8. Sherman pulled out a $10 bill. 'Give me $2 change,' said he. And he got it, before he paid."—From a New York Letter. Accounts for Hissing of Geese. A recent writer explains the peculiar attitude and hissing of the goose something as follows: When you enter a yard where geese are they will stretch out their necks and hiss like a serpent. They will do the same when sitting upon their nests. This authority says that in the far east, long ago, geese nested in the tall grass, and in some way unknown discovered that no sound would drive away the intruder as quickly as the hissing of the snake, the bite of which is poisonous and meant death. Therefore, when the intruder approached near the nest, the geese would stretch out their necks, making it resemble a snake and send forth sounds like a snake, which were successful in driving away the enemy. Guatemala in Ferment. A prisoner in his own palace, fearing treachery and assassination every moment, President Cabrera of Guatemala who, during the last few months has twice escaped the bombs of his enemies, is to-day as closely guarded at the capital as a monarch of continental Europe. Cabrera even fears poisoning. It is said about Guatemala City that, no longer trusting the servants about the palace he now has his mother prepare his food for him. Even then he takes the utmost precautions. There will be a mighty political upheaval in Guatemala soon without a doubt. And when Cabrera goes out the future is a matter of conjecture. Phosphorescent Tree. People walking in a wood in the Wishaw district, near Glasgow, after dark, were startled the other night by what they took to be an apparition in the wood. On making investigation they found the trunk of an ash tree in an upright position giving forth a light resembling phosphorescence, but more brilliant. Those who have visited the spot stoutly insist that the tree's light is more of an incandescent brightness, sufficient for the reading of print in its vicinity. Large crowds were attracted to the place to witness the spectacle, while young people secured chips of the tree and wore them on their clothes in the dark. Overcrowding Not Allowed. On English railways a passenger in a full carriage has a legal right to push away any one else who tries to get into it. This decision was given in a London police court when a man complained that he was pushed out of a carriage at a station by another passenger, who said the car was full. "It is the duty of the conductor," said the court, "to see that the trains are not overcrowded. They are perfectly entitled to use reasonable force to prevent any one from boarding cars when they are full. If they fall to avail themselves of this right the passengers are entitled to act for themselves." High Praise for Maeterlinck. Maurice Maeterlinck, who, it is an nounced, is to receive the Nobel prize for literature this year, has been called "the Belgian Shakespeare"—a title he is by no means averse from holding. As he is now only 46, it is probable that he has not yet given of his best. Last year he purchased the ancient abbey of Saint Wandsville, in Normandy. This historic retreat was in ruins, but the poet set about hay- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ing the place repaired, so that ne can entertain his friends amid picturesque surroundings. Clergy Forbidden Use of Bicycles. Cardinal Couillie, archbishop of Lyons, has issued a stern prohibition against the priests and clerical students of his diocese riding bicycles, holding that the practice is contrary to the gravity of the priestly calling and distinction of conduct which should mark the clergy. An appeal to Rome, it is believed, would be fruitless, for Pius X., when he was Cardinal Sarto and bishop of Mantua, took the same step forbidding clergy the use of bicycles. See Future Profitable Industry The bureau of science, Manila, has published a bulletin by Warren D. Smith, chief of the division of geology and mines, and members of that staff, on the mineral resources of the islands and their product in 1907. It is believed that a sure, profitable and steady mining industry may in time be built up in the colony, but this report shows that little more than a beginning has yet been made. Samovar Economy. Every Russian house, however humble, has one or more constantly used samovars, or hot-water urns, and Consul Ragsdale, at St. Petersburg, in a report, suggests that they might be introduced into the United States with success. The Russian breakfast is tea and rolls, sometimes with butter and jam added. Gift Pearl in the Mouth What luck some people have!

But when they get out to buy service they have a right to get honest return. Especially is this true in the case of insurance, for in the time of sickness and death, need is insistently present, and not only must an insurance company have good intentions, but its ability to fulfill its contracts must be absolutely perfect. There is operating in this State a company known as the Western Life and Accident, of which the following is said in the "Insurance Report." Both because of the source of this information and because of the exhaustive detail with which it is given, this castigation of the methods of the Western Company should be read by all of those who have either knowledge or interest in this company: A DENVER WILDCAT DITCHED. Western Life & Accident Denied Admittance to Montana and New Mexico. Special Examiner Paul L. Woolston has just completed for the New Mexico and Montana insurance departments an examination of the affairs of the Western Life & Accident of Denver. As a result, both states refuse to permit the company to do business therein. Assets were found to be $11,785, and surplus $4,058. Extravagance and incompetence abound. Some of the things censured by Mr. Woolston are as follows: The company has in times past obtained a large proportion of its business by mail without obtaining licenses. Also business was transacted by license in several states far distant from the home office. The recently enacted laws of Colorado forbid Colorado companies to do business in other states without a license therefor, under pain of revocation or license. Hence the company appears to restrict its operations at present to the states of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, in which states it has been licensed for the current year of 1908. However, the compny still has members in many states where it does not write any new business. BONDS. No officers of the company are under any bond whatever. On October 21, 1907, the board of directors passed a motion fixing the bond of the secretary and treasurer at $5,000, to be furnished by June 1, 1908. At this date (August 24th) no compliance with this motion has been made. It should be done at once, also the president, who signs checks, should be bonded. MINUTES. The minutes since organization of the company have been examined with care. The by-laws require monthly meetings, but the minutes show that not more than three or four meetings a year, at which a quorum is present, are held. Directors are paid $25.00 per month, exclusive of officers. Directors in this company should receive only a reasonable fee for meetings actually attended in person. For any other THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. services the remuneration should be independent. Proxies have been used on a few occasions. No attendance of members except directors is shown at meetings. The management of the company has at all times been entirely in the hands of the directors, and a recent motion provides that the proxies of members shall be voted by the president. The president has and has had practically absolute control of th ecompany. The annual meeting is held the third Monday in December. POLICIES. There are two certificates or policies in present use by the company. Industrial and Ordinary, the first being on a weekly and the second a monthly premium. An examination of these forms does not disclose any serious defects. The benefits and conditions appear to be clearly stated, and are in the form usual in such classes of contracts. Attention, however, is called to the following: (1) Fifth paragraph, on page 1, providing for a dividend at the end of five years, "not to exceed" a stated amount. This paragraph was first inserted in 1903, and upon policies in which the clause has become operative in 1908 a dividend equal to 90 percent. of the premiums charged, less all claims, has been allowed. In the opinion of your examiner, this clause is inserted with the intent to deceive the public into believing that the amount stated in this clause is guaranteed, whereas, the words "not to exceed" in fine type allow the company to pay any sum it should choose. In the interests of the members of this mutual company and the insuring public, the words "not to exceed" should be required to be struck from the policy and an adequate reserve maintained to meet the obligation or all reference to the amount to be paid under this benefit should be struck out. Further, it is doubtful whether the power to grant endowment benefits is anticipated by the laws of the several states to mutual assessment companies. Such power should be restricted to organizations providing for these benefits in clear terms and maintaining a sufficient reserve therefor. (2) The new law in Colorado, adapted in 1907, requires companies of this class to state the maximum amount collectable from members. The company complies with this law in the fourth paragraph on page 2, where the maximum liability is restricted to twelve monthly premiums, and the minimum liability to eleven. In other words, the policies are not assessment at all, but practically as uxed in premium payments as any stock company. The president claims that the company is charging the highest rate in the United States, which statement has been verified. If the company possessed a large capitalization, the certificates might assure the full payment of any future losses. Such, however, is not the fact, and there is no absolute security for the pay MRS. CHILDS MRS. FRAZIER CHILDS & FRAZIER Home Cooking Exchange Regular Meals and Short Orders Breakfast 7 to 10 A. M.

For this uncertain insurance members are paying a higher rate, according to the company's own statement, than for similar insurance in the strongest and most treputable companies in the country. It is difficult to see how this company can be licensed in accordance with law—as an assessment institution. The loss papers and correspondence herewith was examined by Mr. Lineau, and he states that the company appears to comply with the policy requirements without any apparent effort to avoid the payment of just claims. There seems to be much misunderstanding regarding the claims that may be made under the policies, but this is to be expected from the classes of people insured by the company. A company known as the "Western Life and Accident Association" was organized in Seattle, Wash., early this year by the vice-president of the Denver company. The similar name assumed is suggestive, especially as said association does not appear to be licensed by any state. In order to show what connection there is or was aware. It may be repeated that the president of the Seattle company is between these two companies, if any, a series of questions was submitted to the president for his own sworn replies. The affidavit is enclosed herewith, marked 9, which indicates that the companies are entirely independent as far as the president is still receiving $100 a month from the Denver company as vice-president thereof. The general methods of the company are not believed to be worthy of confidence. A mail business and soliciting by unlicensed agents was resorted to regularly until the present year, when the Colorado law forbade it. The company has not heretofore shown any disposition to comply with the laws of the various states. The manipulation of the salary account is questionable. The class of people written and the absence of any apparent intent to treat the company as a mutual organization all appear to bear out the above statement. As to the kind of business in which the company deals, it would appear panies worthy of the support of the public, at less cost for the benefits Automobi J. H. GA Phone Phone Main 3725. Q. J. G Undertaker a conferred. There is no justification for a so-called mutual organization of this character unless it can furnish equally reliable protection at less cost, and this the Western Life and Accident Company does not do. The premium amounts to at least $1.75 per month, plus a membership fee of $5, which cannot be considered as cheap insurance. For $26 a year there would be no difficulty in obtaining reliable insurance in a stock company with a much higher loss ratio and smaller expense ratio. Deputy Lineau of the New Mexico department had charge of the examination on behalf of that territory. The activity of this department and the ruling against the Denver company shows that New Mexico doesn't propose to admit any wild-cat or irresponsible concerns. Montana, too, is to be praised for refusing it admittance. BUTTE MONT., NEWS. Since the arrival of Rev. W. L. Baker in our midst and took charge of Shaffer Chapel, A. M.

Greater peace and harmony prevails in the church and there has been a general increase along all lines. The inside of the church has been painted and calcimined, the cupola and the outside have been painted and a new flue has been built, all in three months. Rev. Baker has done more in the past three months than any other pastor we have had since Rev. Allen left. Rev. Baker and his trustees are planning to rebuilu the parsonage by adding four other rooms, with bath. This will give six rooms to the parsonage at a cost of $79.35. Rev. Baker, by his kindness and work with the church and people, has brought many out to church services and the literary. We feel that if Rev. Baker remains with us by all means we will have our church and parsonage in good order, all newly repaired. Many Suicides from Bridge.

Train Wrecked by Elephant. An extraordinary railroad accident happened recently in Siam, on the Royal State railway, between Ban Phaji and Bangkok. Late one evening, while rounding a slight curve, a heavy goods train, drawn by two engines, dashed into a large wild elephant which had strayed on to the track. The force of the impact was terrific, and both the engines were overthrown, the leading one plunging over the embankment and the second capsizing and falling across the line. Two men were killed and several injured, the brake van was smashed into a shapeless mass and 13 cars were derailed and six telescoped. The elephant was killed and its body hurled 60 feet from the track. This is the second accident of the kind that has occurred this year in Siam, an elephant having been killed last February near Lapburi, with, however, only slight damage to the train. Thumb Mark Replaces Monogram. According to a Philadelphia stationer the thumb mark is taking the place of the monogram on notepaper. "The thumb mark," says this authority, "is engraved in gold or silver, and has all the value of a Bertillon mark of identification. Some people prefer to have the thumb mark printed in red or blue, but the metal colors are generally approved. It has several advantages besides its novelty, familiarizing one's friends with a personal sign manual which cannot easily be duplicated. Many of the thumb marks are also surprisingly picturesque, and it is not difficult for the writer to annex a fresh thumb mark in ink, and this can be compared with the engraved mark when one wants to establish the identity of special writ- WHEN YOU GO TO LEADVILLE You can get first-class rooms with Mrs. S.

Pinchot of Washington has a beautiful collection of laces, which is to make the nucleus of a collection at the National museum, in which several women are interesting themselves, among them Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. James S. Harlan. Mrs. Roosevelt has loaned a rare piece of lace. Mrs. Harlan has sent some beautiful embroideries. Mrs. Pinchot's fans are of the Louis XVI. and first empire and George II. time, while others have dainty Spanish sticks, and a carved fan is probably of Chinese make. The museum officials say that this loan collection shows a wide-spread civic pride in the city of Washington, of a sort that has given to New York its Metropolitan Museum of Art and its galleries. Foghorn Cost Vast Sum. There has just been erected on the Bass Rock, the precipitous island of the Firth of Forth, off the Haddingtonshire coast, a new foghorn which has cost $200,000. It will be interesting to note the effect of the hooter on the nerves of the sea birds, of which thousands of one kind and another are to be found on this desolate spot. At dusk the captains of the passenger steamers in passing generally sound their whistle or siren for the amusement of their passengers, and it is a sight not easily forgotten to watch myriads of sleepy birds fly a short distance and then return, after uttering their protest after the manner of the owl in Gray's "Elegy." The new foghorn will give three blasts every two minutes. The Shirt-Sleeve Foundation. We are all familiar with the saying: "It takes only three generations from shirtsleeve to shirtsleeve." If, then, the average American family has to go back to the shirtsleeve for a new start every few generations, let us acknowledge that the best energies of the people have come from the shirtsleeve foundation, and frankly say that it is the best, if not the only, place to start in life. Then, through the medium of the schools, let us give all the youth of the land the advantage and value of a thorough and practical training in working with their hands, in connection with the academic school work that is now given them. The Craftsman. Important English Railroad Decision. A passenger in a full railway carriage in England has a perfect legal right to push away anyone else who tries to get into it. This decision was given at Marylebone police court when a man complained that he was pushed out of a carriage at Bishop's Road station by another passenger, who said the car was full. "It is the duty of conductors," said the court, "to see that the trains are not overcrowded. They are perfectly entitled to use reasonable force to prevent anyone from boarding cars when they are full. If they fail to avail themselves of this right the passengers are entitled to act for themselves." MRS. J. TURNER CHILE PARLOR AND LUNCH ROOM 2534 Washington Ave. Denver, Colo. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Bad Season for Vessel Owners. According to the European maritime papers, it is probable that the German navigation companies will distribute this year only a small dividend, if they distribute one at all. This was expected, on account of the diminution in the number of emigrants, which has continued during the year, and the decrease in the freight transported. The figures for emigrants for America through Hamburg and Bremen will be 300,000 lower this year than in 1907. Loss of Scotch Grain Crop. It is difficult to estimate the total loss on the Scottish grain crop of this season, but if we put the deterioration at the quite moderate figure of £2 an acre for 90 per cent. of the lands under crop the total is a sum considerably over £2,000,000. The winter loss from using half-rotten fodder and from protracted sales of discolored and musty grain is not so easily calculated.—Glasgow Herald. Properties of Lead. Lead, when reduced to a very low temperature in liquid air, is said to act much as steel at ordinary temperatures. It will serve as a helical spring, for example. Just as iron is soft and inelastic, at a high red color, so lead is dull and soft at ordinary temperatures, for it is then already well on its way to be melted.

SALUTE COLORADO PAGE 2 Output of British Potteries. The value of the output of the British potteries is variously estimated at from $27,750,000 to $39,000,000. The potteries are located in various parts of the United Kingdom, including Staffordshire, London, Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle-on-Tyne and other small districts. The bulk of the manufactories, however, are in Staffordshire, in the west of England, where extensive beds of clay and marl have been the basis of the industry for nearly two centuries. It is estimated that 80 per cent. of the pottery manufactured in the United Kingdom is in this district. Interesting Experiment with Kite. In a paper presented to the British association by Mr. Makower, Miss White and Mr. Marsden, at its recent meeting, an account is given of some novel experiments made at the Manchester university kite station, Glossop, in which a kite was connected to a galvanometer by a wire, and then to the earth. Owing to the upper layers of the atmosphere being at a higher electrical potential than the earth, a current flowed down the wire to the earth. The current varied between 5 and 23 one hundred thousandth part of an ampere. Travel in Paris. "Yonder comes another pair of 'em," said the hotel clerk, nodding toward two drummers entering the lobby. "It's getting to be a great act among traveling men of late to move over the country in pairs. Those two fellows there always come together. They're in entirely different lines of business, too. They claim they can save money by traveling together not only on their hotel bills but in other ways, and that the scheme has divers and sundry other advantages."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Railroad Brings Tranquillity. A German geographer named Kaiser who has just returned from his second visit to British East Africa is much impressed with the effect of the Uganda railroad upon the natives along the line. He says he scarcely recognized them as the same beings he met there 11 years ago. At that time he would not have dared risk his life in the Guasso-Ngishu highlands, but last winter he wandered over them for seven weeks with only half a dozen men to carry his luggage, undisturbed by fears of violence. Woman Known as Sailors' Friend. Miss Josephine R. Upham has just accepted the post of woman missionary and organist in the new American Seamen's Friend Society Institute in West street, New York city. She has had 15 years' experience in the work for seamen and comes direct from the Sailors' Haven, Boston. She is known personally to sailors from every part of the world, who speak and look upon her as their friend. Her influence with men with whom she comes in contact is very great. Ingenious Ponies. A rather curious habit has been developed by Mexican ponies in connection with the cactus thorns. When these creatures are thirsty, it is said that before attempting to put their mouths to the prickly plant, they will first of all stand and kick at the cactus with their heels. By this means the thorns are broken and the leathery skin bruised, and so the ponies can drink their fill of the cool juice without injury.—The Sunday Strand. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD Japan Has Large Rice Crop. Official statistics from Japan are favorable in regard to the rice production this year. It appears that the crop will reach 96,300,000 hectoliters, which is an increase of 18 per cent. over the production of last year. The value of that crop, at the minimum price of 21 francs 35 centimes the hectoliter, amounts to more than 2,000,000 francs, and this abundance will result in increased exports. Paradox of the American Boy. In America I have been confounded by the astuteness, the intelligence, and the zest for knowledge manifested by boys who are leaving school and about to enter college or business. They know, so far as book learning goes, far more than the average English boy, but their ignorance of the world always struck me as astounding. Horace Annesley Vachell, in Pall Mall Magazine. Race Traits. The Celt, or the kind of man our ignorance calls Celt, has shown himself more than any of his brethren of other races dogged in following his ideas—whether in politics, in religion or in social customs—dogged and dauntless, beaten often but never giving in, never changing his demand and not readily even changing his tactics.—London Freeman's Journal. Minerals in South Russia. South Russia has among its valuable minerals rock salt, coal, coprolites, kaolin, sands for glass making and other purposes, manganese and iron ores, the latter being easily first in importance, free from phosphorus and with little sulphuhr. Originality. The most original modern authors are not so because they advance what is new, but simply because they know how to put what they have to say as if it had never been said before.— Goethe. Childless French Families. Of the 11,000,000 families in France, early 2,000,000 are childless. Tell the Children the Wny. Little children like to see, understand, and enjoy farm operations and the working of farm machinery. Allow them to see these things and explain their workings. Make them feel that all parts of farming is fun to you, and it will be to them. They will grow to love the occupation. In the Case of True Love. Never believe the old proverb: "When Poverty enters the door, Love flies out of the window." Instead of flying, Love puts down his bow and arrow, picks up the oil can, and says: "Now you will see how I can make the wheels go 'round." An Unfortunate Defect. Chicago women have founded "a school for wives," but the trouble is they do not intend to remain in their homes long enough to profit by it. Detroit News Tribune. Bulgarian Women for Suffrage. The wife of the prime minister of Bulgaria is the president of the Bulgarian Woman Suffrage association, which has a membership of about 3.000.

He came to college without manifest aptitude; the secondary education which might have been a cautious effort to dissect it out or create a substitute buried it deeply under a mass of rubbish. For him freedom means diffusion or superficiality. The elective system tempts him in a different dozen directions; arouses a dozen interests that collapse at the moment when effort or persistence is demanded. This is the meaning of many isolated courses pursued in different departments. The elective system deteriorates into a tickling of the palate. Eventually the boy's real salvation comes, if at all, when, in competition with the uneducated barbarians of the outer world, he faces the alternative of efficiency or starvation. Fresh Water from Ocean. Menama, the principal port of the Bahrein islands, the center of the pearl fisheries, gets its fresh water from the ocean. Visitors often note boats anchored a few hundred yards from the shore, the boatmen engaged in drawing fresh water from springs at the bottom of the sea. These springs well up strongly at a considerable depth and the entire water supply of the town is obtained from them. The fresh water is procured in two ways—either in a goatskin bag, which a diver takes down with him and carefully closes before bringing it to the surface, or by letting down long hollow pipes of bamboo, weighted at the lower end, through which the water rises up uncontaminated to the surface. Brief Dinners the Rule. Washington society has achieved the impossible, in that no one with pretensions to inner knowledge of the correct thing will give a dinner party which lasts more than an hour and a half from the moment the cocktails are taken until the men join the women in the drawing room. One hour and three-quarters is the time allotted even to a White House dinner, and the guests of the president, after --- FRUITS 2300-2306 Larimer St. R EAST ruits, Meats, Delicatessen R THE COMING WEEK MEATS In this Department there is nothing lacking: Beef, Mutton and Pork Try our Roasts and Steaks ROVISIONS Here you can get Flour, Crackers Meal, Salted Meats, Sugar, Coffees Teas, Spices and anything needed for the Kitchen Also Bakery Goods TESSEN is complete, up-to-date and fresh Feet, Ears, Tails.

A big relief this from the old dinner, when folks sat at table from 8 until 11 and then smoked and spun yarns for two hours more. War of Extermination on Rats. A Paris journal suggests that in order to rid the world of rats the various governments should offer a reward of one penny for each rat killed. Denmark, it appears, has already set the example. There, since a law was passed giving a halfpenny a head for dead rats, the schoolboys of Copenhagen devote their playtime to hunting the rodent. The bodies are taken to the fire brigade station, where the tails are cut off in order that the reward may not be claimed a second time. The bodies are burned the same night in a furnace at the gas works. Valuable Railroad Property. Lackawanna is the highest priced railroad stock in the world. The par value of its shares is $50 and the price ranges between $500 and $600. A small transaction—a hundred or a few hundred shares—causes a loss or gain of from 10 to 40 points. The road is owned by the Rockefellers, Stillmans and Astors (and their associates), and is operated with the same foresight that has always distinguished Standard Oil. Its mileage is small; its dividends are enormous. Its capital stock is only $26,200,000.—New York Press. Expert on Poetry of Motion. Sixty-five years a member of the ballet company of the Royal opera house at Berlin is the record of Miss Charlotte Braun, who celebrated her eightieth birthday recently. For many years she was a solo dancer at the opera, then she became an instructor in the ballet school, and for the last ten years she has been a pensioner, but she still continues to give instruction in dancing and is a recognized authority on matters relating to the poetry of motion. --- MEATS Rooms—31-2 Good Block.

A firm engaged in the manufacture of aluminum wares at Ludenscheid, Germany, has placed on the market souvenir spoons made from the aluminum which formed a part of the Von Zeppelin airship, which was wrecked on August 5. One side of the handle bears the date of the catastrophe and a facsimile signature of the aeronaut. On the other side there is in relief a view of the airship sailing over a city and the inscription, "Cast from the remains of the Von Zeppelin airship." Ban on Dual Earnings. Uncle Sam has struck a blow at a class of professional men peculiar to Washington. An order has been issued prohibiting United States government clerks from swelling their incomes by practicing medicine or filling teeth on the side. It has for a long time been a common practice for department clerks to attend night colleges, and, after securing diplomas, practice professions after office hours. From Bad to Worse. A miner in Scotland was visited by a friend, and among the places of interest shown was the pit mouth. Seeing the cage lowered with the stout steel rope, the friend exclaimed: "My word! I shouldn't like to go down there on that rope." "Why," exclaimed the miner, "Aw wadna lik' to gang doon there withoot it!"—London News. Have Little Patronage. The highest public house in England is said to be the Tan Hill, in Yorkshire (1,747 feet). The second highest is the Cat and Fiddle, in Cheshire (1,690 feet), and there is also the Traveler's Rest, in Westmoreland (1,476 feet). The Tan Hill house is so lonely that an 18-gallon cask of beer has been known to last three months. One winter no stranger crossed the threshold for 11 weeks. Metals in the Philippines. In 1907 the amount of gold mined in the Philippines was 4,540 ounces, and up to June of that year 1,601 lode claims and 533 placer claims had been filed. Silver is as yet practically a negligible quantity (83 ounces mined in 1907). All the iron yet produced comes from one furnace (426 short tons last year), and the methods are very crude. Self-Acting Doors. Doors that swing of themselves are the latest. At the Hotel Astor the attendant who stands at the main entrance merely has to press a bulb and the door, which is operated by electricity, revolves. This plan has the advantage of keeping the speed uniform.—N. Y. Sun. Beef Consumed in America. The answer to the question: "Are we a beef-eating nation?" is given in the fact that Swift & Co. sold $250,000,000 worth of beef in a year; Armour. $270,000,000 and others $250,000,000, bringing the total to $770,000,000 for beef alone.

It was no wonder that Rev. G. W. Harts preached such a strong sermon Sunday morning. It can be easily understood why so much religious fire was so quickly kindled as the reverend spoke. Nothing had more to do with the spiritual enlivenment than that sweet voiced choir. It is beyond all question of a doubt Zion has a powerfully strong, well gauged choir whose many voices seem to so harmoniously blend into a perfect symphony. Misses Margaretta Willis and Eva Carter's solos were soft, sweet and spiritually impressive, and choir demonstrated its ability in the support it rendered them. Rev. G. W. Harts, the field secretary of the Baptist church, is a thorough enthusiastic minister who loves congregational singing, as he showed his power in the song, "Railway of Life." After he had laid his argument, based upon the text, "Religion as a Living Power," he viewed the subject from a moral, financial, sanitary, spiritual and a charitable standpoint. He climaxed all of his remarks in his final appeal that, "If religion had not made you better, changed your life, made your disposition sweeter. made you more benevolent and charitable, and less egotistic and more humble and faithful, then it—so far as you and your life is concerned—is a failure. You wore it as a form and not as realistic and as an energizing power for betterment." He preacned a strong sermon and incidentally called the roll of the departed saints of Zion which by their very absence were conspicuous. Fortythree years have made all kinds of changes and the congregation in a reflective mood pathetically bowed its heads to death and its absent victims. Zion has just began to progress. Nothing can hold back, and The Statesman bids her to go on, and may she add wealth, glory, honor and souls to the Kingdom as she goes on in years. It is better farther on. MAKING GOOD. Miss Eva Jones of Denver, senior at Western University, besides carrying her regular school work, is teaching a Saturday music class in Tonganoxie, Kansas, 31 miles west. Miss Jones plays for church services there every Sunday, and is planning to organize a Saturday night literary society there. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORS SCORE BIGGEST SUCCESS OF THE YEAR AT PARSONAGE Last Wednesday night witnessed one of the most congenial crowds, most enthusiastic and yet instructive and intellectual amusement with all kinds of "funnyisms" than has ever been held while Rev. Ward has been pastor of Shorter. The games being popular, the conversations intelligent. and everyone was full of good humor to make the occasion marked for these attractions. "Admiration," "Going to Jerusalem" and "John Brown's Body" seemed to be the ones at which the elderly persons were seen hiding in the corners "cracking their sides" a-laughing. It has been the custom of the Endeavors to give a social free to all persons who desire to come together for a social benefit. There is no finer set of young people than those attending these functions, and the wide influence wielded by this religious body is being clearly proven by the recent additions to the society. While there are quite a number of settled people who belong, yet the young people make the Sunday evening meeting so interesting and entertaining that many young people flock there for the spiritual benefit. The lesson or topics for discussion are so vividly impressed upon the hearers that one desires to go to the Endeavors to have his conscience properly aroused in preparation to the reception of the Sunday evening session. The Christian Endeavors have every reason to reproud of their social success and the results reflect great credit on the commendable efforts of the society. Every person not present just missed a rare treat of innocent, entertaining and dignified fun with its varied lessons of intelligence and wit. Miss Ida Cox, who has been spending part of the winter visiting friends in Missouri, returned this week to enjoy Thanksgiving with her many Denver friends.

What is probably the best record of steam power efficiency of which there is any record is reported in the test of a new type of engine which originates in Darmstadt. The particular engine under test had a capacity of 100 effective horse power. The steam consumption per effective horse power was determined as 8.6 pounds, and the coal consumption as 1.04 pounds. Figuring on coal as costing five dollars a ton in the particular locality, the fuel cost per horse power comes out as low as 0.22 of a cent an hour. The figures were compiled by Prof. Guttermuth of Darmstadt. Laws in Direct Conflict. The club women of Chicago are puzzled over the question of a lawful costume for working women. They point out that only a little while ago a woman in Chicago was arrested and fined for wearing trousers while earning an honest living as a hod carrier. Now they are informed that there has been a ruling in the post office department holding that women employed as mail carriers must wear trousers. There is a movement on foot to send a delegation to Washington for the purpose of consulting President Roosevelt on the subject. The Struggle for Liberty. What you call liberty, I call liberties; and what I call the struggle for liberty is nothing but the constant, living assimilation of the idea of freedom. He who possesses liberty otherwise than as a thing to be striven for, possesses it dead and soulless; for the idea of liberty has undoubtedly this characteristic, that it develops steadily during its assimilation. So that a man who stops in the midst of the struggle and says, "Now I have it!" thereby shows that he has lost it.—Henrik Ibsen. Real Friendship. Any friendship that is worth the name is not a matter of reason or choice, but rather of magnetism and temperament. It can bear almost everything of friction, jar, annoyance or pain, and still spring up again with renewed vitality. It may not only spring up with renewed vitality from experiences that would annihilate any lesser bond, but the renewal may be regeneration as well, and transmute it into an infinitely higher condition. Sown in weakness, it may be raised in power. Students Wear Mustaches. At the University of Pennsylvania mustaches have again come into style, according to the Philadelphia Record. "Yes, a fellow isn't in it this fall without a mustache," said a varsity senior. "You see, a great many of the boys have been over in Europe this summer, and the hirsute adornment is all the rage among the swells on the other side just now. Of course, we college boys have to keep in the swim, so that is why you see all this sprouting down on the campus." Seek Aid of Government. The Society of German Engineers at its annual convention held in Dresden empowered its officers to negotiate with representatives of the Prussian government of the German federation to make arrangements for the bringing out of the Technolexikon, which the society was forced to give up about a year ago, on account of the great scope of the work, involving THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. expenditures greater than the society thought it could consistently make. Defends Red-Haired Girl. Elinor Glyn says that red-haired girls are always unhappy, and as her own hair is said to be as near red as possible, she no doubt speaks from experience. Other women, however, are not inclined to agree with Mrs. Glyn, and declare that no red-haired women really believes her hair to be red, but is fully satisfied within her own consciousness that it is the most beautiful shade of auburn. The "Eternal Feminine." Among some African tribes, when a man professes his love for a woman and asks her in marriage, she invariably refuses him at first lest it should appear that she had been thinking of him and was eager to become his wife! By so doing she maintains the modesty of her sex, as well as tests the love and abases the pride of her lover.—London Wide World Magazine. Not Quite Right. A gentleman was traveling by railway in the north of Scotland. When he reached his destination and was leaving the station he discovered that he had left his waterproof in the carriage. He hurried back as the train was leaving and shouted: "Is there a black mackintosh in here?" "No," answered one of the passengers—"they are all sandy Macgregors here!" Moors and Civilization. The Moors occupied Spain from 711 to 1492 A. D. During the first four centuries of their control of the Spanish peninsula they excelled all the nations of northern Europe in science, literature and the arts. Area of English Channel. The English channel at its east end is 21 miles broad, and at its west extremity it is from 100 to 110 miles wide. The greatest breadth is between Sidmouth and St. Malo, 150 miles. Man. Some men not being satisfied with their naturally ugly faces insist upon whistling on the street.—Atchison Globe. Farmer's Lot Should Be Haapy. If the farmer's returns are not great they possess a degree of certainty by which he is sure to keep the wolf from the door. The fallacy in all of this bewailing the meager income from the fields and orchards of the land lies in the assumption that happiness depends upon goodly possessions. Diogenes, with his tub and shirt, zsking Alexander to remove from his sunlight, incited the Macedonian conqueror to cry out: "If I were not Alexander I would be Diogenes."

The Leader We are now pleased to announce to the public that we are now locating at 2057½ Larimer street with all kinds of hair goods and ornamental goods of all kinds, and we also announce we have a full line of millinery in the latest Parisian style in hats and bon- new of all kinds. Miss Genevieve Hallowell, prop. Mrs. J. R. Hallowell, Mgr. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A M. POPE. MRS. A. M.

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with A Lace Museum. Mrs. James W. Pinchot of Washington has a beautiful collection of laces, which is to make the nucleus of a collection at the National museum, in which several women are interesting themselves, among them Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. James S. Harlan. Mrs. Roosevelt has loaned a rare piece of lace. Mrs. Harlan has sent some beautiful embroideries. Mrs. Pinchot's fans are of the Louis XVI. and first empire and George II. time, while others have dainty Spanish sticks, and a carved fan is probably of Chinese make. The museum officials say that this loan collection shows a wide-spread civic pride in the city of Washington, of a sort that has given to New York its Metropolitan Museum of Art and its galleries. Foghorn Cost Vast Sum. There has just been erected on the Bass Rock, the precipitous island of the Firth of Forth, off the Haddingtonshire coast, a new foghorn which has cost $200,000. It will be interesting to note the effect of the hooter on the nerves of the sea birds, of which thousands of one kind and another are to be found on this desolate spot. At dusk the captains of the passenger steamers in passing generally sound their whistle or siren for the amusement of their passengers, and it is a sight not easily forgotten to watch myriads of sleepy birds fly a short distance and then return, after uttering their protest after the manner of the owl in Gray's "Elegy." The new foghorn will give three blasts every two minutes. The Shirt-Sleeve Foundation. We are all familiar with the saying: "It takes only three generations from shirtsleeve to shirtsleeve." If, then, the average American family has to go back to the shirtsleeve for a new start every few generations, let us acknowledge that the best energies of the people have come from the shirtsleeve foundation, and frankly say that it is the best, if not the only, place to start in life. Then, through the medium of the schools, let us give all the youth of the land the advantage and value of a thorough and practical training in working with their hands, in connection with the academic school work that is now given them. The Craftsman. Important English Railroad Decision A passenger in a full railway carriage in England has a perfect legal right to push away anyone else who tries to get into it. This decision was given at Marylebone police court when a man complained that he was pushed out of a carriage at Bishop's Road station by another passenger, who said the car was full. "It is the duty of conductors," said the court, "to see that the trains are not overcrowded. They are perfectly entitled to use reasonable force to prevent anyone from boarding cars when they are full. If they fail to avail themselves of this right the passengers are entitled to act for themselves." Predict Dismal Days for Housewife. America is not alone in her distress over a decreasing supply of domestic labor. While gaining 3,000,000 households Germany has lost 37,000 in her total number of servants. Distaste for what old-fashioned New Englanders call "house work" grows steadily in classes from which such labor generally comes. We seem to see a distant time when, in the absence of ma THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO cninery mechanically renewing her, the average housewife will have to be her own "girl." Smallest Newspaper. The smallest newspaper in the world, according to the publisher's statement, appeared a few days ago on the lower east side of New York. It is of the size of a postal card, with one-half on the address side devoted to advertisements, and the "paper" proper printed in small type in Yiddish, under the title the Jester. The name denotes its character, and it contains principally humorous paragraphs, with local, national and international points. Bad Season for Vessel Owners According to the European maritime papers, it is probable that the German navigation companies will distribute this year only a small dividend, if they distribute one at all. This was expected, on account of the diminution in the number of emigrants, which has continued during the year, and the decrease in the freight transported. The figures for emigrants for America through Hamburg and Bremen will be 300,000 lower this year than in 1907 Loss of Scotch Grain Crop It is difficult to estimate the total loss on the Scottish grain crop of this season, but if we put the deterioration at the quite moderate figure of £2 an acre for 90 per cent. of the lands under crop the total is a sum considerably over £2,000,000. The winter loss from using half-rotten fodder and from protracted sales of discolored and musty grain is not so easily calculated.—Glasgow Herald. Properties of Lead. Lead, when reduced to a very low temperature in liquid air, is said to act much as steel at ordinary temperatures. It will serve as a helical spring, for example. Just as iron is soft and inelastic, at a high red color, so lead is dull and soft at ordinary temperatures, for it is then already well on its way to be melted Montana Sapphires. Montans during 1907 produced sap phires worth $229,800. A Believer. "Do you believe in telepathy?" asked the mystical person. "What do you mean by telepathy?" asked Mr. Dustin Stax. "Thought transfer—the faculty that enables one person to know what another person is thinking about." "Oh, yes. There's my old friend Mr. Skinboodle. I know what he's thinking about this very minute." "What is it?" "Money." Improved. "Money." Improved.

Goodness knows that the more we see of some sychophantic Negroes the less we think of them. Now that the election is over, the race journals are full of pictures and biographies of various “leaders” who elected Taft. It is such a cinch to be on the w: ner’s side it is no wonder that many play that game, but it requires monu- mental gall for some of the down-at the-heel statesmen that our eastern contemporaries say “done it,” to claim any considerable part in the Repub- lican victory. We western foix pin- ned our faith in Register of tne Treasury Vernon, and it.is no breech of confidence to say now that way last January Mr. Vernon predicted the nomination and election of Mr. Taft. A similar consistent support was given the winner by the Wizard of Tuskegee, Booker T. Washington, and we might go on to name several others, of similar claims upon the coming president's gratitude. But the hungry horde of job seekers who are climbing into the band wagon ought to be turned down for their hypocrisy if for nothing else. LET’S WAKE UP TO TWENTIETH CENTURY CUSTOMS. It ought not be that we should have to urge our people to do those uungs which are accepted as necessities in the conduct of their affairs by white people. For instance, life insurance is accepted by white men of busiuess as an essential of their lives. It is not only a protection for their fam- ilies in case of death, but it removes from them that worry and they teel better equipped for their businesses. Then, too, the multiforms of insur- ance now offered are an investment as well as a protection. They offer percentages of profit up to 9 pe: cent. and there is no lessening of the pro- tective features. It is an evidence of the foresight of the individual that he looks forward to-morrow while doing to-day’s work. It‘is not prohibitive in price. Thea- tres, parties, conviviality, pure waste, take away more money than would keep up an insurance. The features of automatic extension relieve one of the fear of losing out through even a prolonged sickness. In other words, the advantage is all on one side. The wrong done to one’s family, the money wasted ,the reputation as a wise man of foresight lost, are all avoidable by a proper expenditure in this ne. Let's come up to date in this essential of 20th century life. Japan Has Large Rice Crop. Official statistics from Japan are fa- vorable in regard to the rice produc- tion this.year. It appears that the crop will reach 96,300,000 hectoliters, which is an increase of 18 per cent. over the production of lasi year. The value of that crop, at the minimum price of 21 francs 35 centimes the bec. toliter, amounts to more than 2,000, 000,000 francs, and this abundance will result in increased exports, Paradox of the American Bov. In America I have been confounded by the astuteness, the intelligence, and the zest for knowledge Manifested by boys who are leaving school and about to enter college or business. They know, so far as book learning goes, far more than the average English boy, but their ignorance of the world always struck me as astounding.— Horace Annesley Vachell, in Pall Mall Magazine, Race Traits. The Celt, or the kind of man our ignorance calls Celt, has shown him- self more than any of his brethren of other races dogged in following his ideas—whether in politics, in religion or in social customs—dogged and dauntless, beaten often but never giv- ing in, never changing his demand and not readily even changing his tac- tics—London Freeman’s Journal.

South Russia has among its valuable minerals rock salt, coal, coprolites, kaolin, sands for glass making and other purposes, manganese and iron ores, the latter being easily first in importance, free from phosphorus and with little sulphuhr.

Having launched out on the journalistic sea, he set sail full of hope, but alas! misfortune overtook him. In his despair, he bethought him of a subscriber who owed him money, real money. Some had paid him in potatoes, in second-hand cloth- ing, in flattery and dinners, but this subscriber had promised to pay him in real money and now was the time of need. So he wrote a touching let- ter. His poverty, his old clothes, his shop-worn wife, his down-at-the-heel children spoke between the lines. In due time he received a letter in re- ply. He read it. It contained no money. He fainted. It ran: “I have just been taking your old paper as a favor to you. 1! will not pay you a cent, You can stop it.” Here is the moral and it for a num- ber of our out-of-town subscribers to whom we have sent notices of in- debtedness.

Precious Life and Health can be Saved by this that would be Hope less Under the Old Methods. The Nature of The Disease makes no Difference. The Disease makes no Difference. It is no longer necessary to suffer the pangs of pain and disease, or die prematurely. The time is now at hand when it is as easy to get well as it is to get sick. Those who are suffering with Stomach Troubles, bad cases of Rheumatism, or any other Lingering Disease, take one treatment of Magnetic healing from the Healer and you shall be convinced that your disease and pains will be turned into health and joy. All this is simply the operation of natural law, and it is not half as wonoerful as the fact that you can send your voice along a little wire for thousands of miles, yet no one doubts the telephone, or is astonished at what it accomplishes. Is it strange, then, that a new discovery should be made in the line of physical science as applied to the healing art. PROF. H. G. H. BUTLER, 1123 Welton Street. Phone Main 8752. the bride.
