TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historical & Natural History Society TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY DECEMBER 26 1908 FIVE CENTS A COPY WATCHING GAP DID THEIR DUTY For any man through a play, book or otherwise, or any opera house which wilfully aided or abetted the production of a play to enter a peaceful community where there is no, or but little, race antipathy and there stir up, make suspicious and belie the honest efforts of a struggling, downtrodden people whose opportunities for an honest livelihood are extremely meagre, is cruel, wrong and deserves the severest condemnation of all the lawabiding and respectable citizens. The opera house that bills such a play ought to be boycotted, because nothing but harm can come as a consequence. Both races become suspicious and restless, each as to the other, where peace once existed; everything is or will be greatly magnified as to arouse pernicious frenzy, which will, as it always has done in the past, end in mob violence. It was this scene that the negro in Albuquerque, N. M., was confronted with when that reptile-like Tom serenely but effectively stole into that peaceful city. It was certainly with pride and with a long-cherished hope realized that we are glad to be able to write a commendation of some true men of Albuquerque, N. M., who exhibited their courage, good sense and unity of purpose, also racial patriotism, as well as for the common welfare of all races, when they vehemently protested against the rendition of that literary misfit, "The Clansman," written by an alleged low-bred Southern clergyman. These men, who were Revs. James Washington, A. H. Henderson, W. T. Thornton, Prof. ott, A. B. Montgomery and T. O. Mason, in their own way, showed the fair and impartial New Mexicans, whose love for liberty, pease, equality and fair play still permeates their hearts, that the colored people of the city, at least, was in opposition to the play, in its characters, plots, and in the lying, vulgar and unjust insinuations. We know not why, nor how these representative men failed, but we have wondered if it was for the reason they had never read the book and thus were unable to point any definite, true and specific objection to a character, a situation or chapter in general. What happened in Albuquerque last week can and may happen in Denver and the question comes, Will the "Clansman" come and find the Colorado negroes asleep? How many in Colorado can NOW, if called upon, make a certain definite, true and correct objection to Mayor Speer against the production of the play? We ask especially that the ministers and our leaders get together, read and discuss the book and be ye always ready, for ye know not the hour that that devilish race disorganizer may appear. Albuquerque has sounded the alarm, although she has also sown the wind and ere two years pass she will reap the whirlwind, but thank God as some men did their duty then they will prepare NOW for THEN. DENVER BOY MAKING GOOD. This office is in receipt of the welcome news that one of the well-known young men of our city is constantly making good at school. He is an apt student at printing and so high is he held in the esteem of his class that he has been elected "critic." That young man is Carmille Nichols erstwhile member of the "None Such Boys." We are informed he is tickled to death over the honor. "To the stars through difficulties." Hear John Carrie sing "As Long As the World Rolls On," at East Turner hall, Jan. 5th, 1909. REV.

MARIE HALLLOLWELL DELIGHTS YOUNG PEOPLE. Friday night, at the home of Mrs. J. R. Hallolwell, 2350 Tremont Place, was the scene of a house full of young people who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The occasion was celebrated because of the presence of the entire order of "Devoted Dears," who carry "jolly times with them." Dancing, card playing and other amusing and interesting games were the features of the social event. Miss Hallolwell is making quite an impression with her social proclivities. OLD-TIMER LAID TO REST. Mr. Sanders, who at one time was the thrifty partner of J. R. Jackson, the present up-to-date and energetic proprietor of the Paris City Cleaning Works, died last week at the county poor farm. Mr. Sanders sold out his interest and left for St. Louis, Mo. Since that time little has been heard of him until his demise. He was buried from Zion Baptist church Monday. PREACHERS MEET. At a meeting of the Afro-American Ministerial Union the holding of a series of revivals was discussed and it was decided to begin with a union watch meeting of Shorter and Campbell chapels, to be held at the latter church, closing Sunday, Jan. 24. Bethlehem Baptist church, assisted by Central church, will then begin and close Feb. 14, when Central church will continue the meetings. Announcements for other churches will follow. You will have more than your money's worth at the benefit January 5 at East Turner hall. Strange Lake in Africa. That strange African lake, Lake Tchad, has been the subject of renewed attention within the last two years, and the fact that in a period of 20 years it alternately increases and decreases in size and depth seems to have been well established. Worse. In the old days, finding a hair in the butter wasn't so bad, because you usually knew where the hair came from, but in these days of switches, phony curls and paid-for tresses, such a discovery has limitless terrors. Some One Gift in All Men. Degrees infinite of luster there must always be, but the weakest among us has a gift, however seemingly trivial, which is peculiar to him, and which, worthily used, will be a gift also to the race forever.—Ruskin. High Stakes. "Well, where's that cook?" demanded his wife. "Don't tell me she wasn't on the train." "She was on the train," timidly explained the commuter, "but I got to playing cards and a Lonleyville man won her at whist." The Economical Woman. "I should like to hear the new song you've composed," said the composer's caller, "but you can leave out the chorus to-day, if you please. I've a taxicab waiting outside and I'm by no means a rich woman." Putting It Gently. Harduppe (to Richboy)—Do you know, I really believe I'm losing my nerve? I'm getting so I hate to ask any one for a loan. As soon as I saw you I began to tremble. Words and Thought. Words are the notes of thought, and nothing more. Words are like sea shells on the shore; they show where the mind ends, and not how far it has been.—Bailey. In Friendship. In friendship we see only those faults which may be prejudicial to our friends. In love we see no faults but those by which we suffer ourselves.— De La Bruyere. Lives Lost in the Industries. The construction of every skyscraper claims an average of at least three victims, and of the 19,000,000 industrial workers in this country 500,000 are killed or maimed every year. Rarest Seashell. The rarest seashell is the "Cone of the Holy Mary." Only two specimens are known, one of which is in the British museum. A Luxury. It does look sometimes as if no one ever tries to be a hale fellow save those who can't afford it.—Dallas News. Sad. The saddest words, you must admit, are these: "The hired girl has quit." —Detroit Free Press. To Work. To speak or write nature did not peremptorily order thee; but to work, she did.—Thomas Carlyle. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. No Married Men for Him. H. Elvin, secretary of the National Union of Clerks, mentions that he once received this card from an employer who lives in the north of London: "I am a single man, employ two porters and five clerks. No married man shall ever enter my employ. As far as possible with my tradespeople I only deal with those who are single. What else I desire I order froom my stores. I will have nothing to do with dirty, careless, idle and mostly thieving married fools."—Cassell's Saturday Journal. How Tiny Creatures Live. The microscope has opened to the eye of man a wonderful world of tiny creatures. Careful watching has disclosed the fact that bits of life, so small the naked eye cannot detect them, suffer pain and experience pleasure in a manner as real as an elephant. In this realm of smallness there is a struggle for existence, the same as with men. Signs of Prosperity. A man stopped at the stand of a roast chestnut vendor the other day to buy "five cents' worth," and presently he was joined by another and another purchaser until there were four customers waiting to be served. A small boy stopped and, looking at the rush of business, remarked: "Say, Guinney, if this keeps up you'll need a cash register and a girl to run it."—New York Press. Wanted to Spare It Pain. Dorothy had been staying with her grandfather, and heard much talk about it being kinder to shoot a very old carriage horse that was long past work than to sell it. When she went home one day she heard her parents talking of selling their present motor car and buying a new one. "Oh, mammie," she exclaimed, "do have it shot, instead!"—Home Chat. Similarity of Lead and Steel. 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. Oxford More Cosmopolitan. Of late years Oxford has become more cosmopolitan; the advent of the Rhodes scholars has done much to effect this. We welcome them heartily, and the more pronounced are their national characteristics the more hearty is our welcome.—Oxford 'Varsity. "Kussim." Forty-one Georgians stood around the death-bed of old Mr. Perkins, their rich relative, and shed tears as the hand of death was laid upon his brow. When the will was opened, and they found that he had left all his property to found a college, 41 Georgians started for home exclaiming: "Kussim." Men More Sensitive Than Women. For keen perception, for quick, vivid apprehension of the great world of mind and matter around him, how incomparably superior is the man to the woman. And yet who would have a woman different from what she actually is?—Black and White. Zoological Question. The director of the zoological gardens was on his vacation. He received a note from his chief assistant, which closed thusly: "The chimpanzee seems to be pining for a companion. What shall we do until your return?" Origin of Shaking Hands. The custom of shaking hands has been traced back to the days of the ancient Israelites, and was intended to signify peace, to swear friendship, to promise alliance, or to give security. Feminine Inconsistency. The woman who resents her husband working overtime lest she be deprived of a pleasure is the sort that in later years decries his poverty in contemptuous tones.—Chicago Record-Herald. Great Actions Endure. He judges well who accepts unpopularity in a great cause. Hatred does not last long, and besides the immediate splendor of great actions, the renown of them endures forever in men's memories.—Pericles. A Sad State of Affairs. A generation is growing up that knows not the merits of good wine, and no effort is being made to educate it in the knowledge of those merits. Wine and Spirit Trade Record. Good Effect of Trust. We do not trust men enough. Men will answer to the higher appeal, when the poor lower appeal that goes to their selfishness will be lost upon them.—Phillips Brooks. Impossibility. It is impossible for a woman to understand how any man can have so much money that he doesn't know what to do with it.—Milwaukee Journal. Also Worth More Now. The girl who spends her time making angel cake and potato salad instead of castles in Spain will do better execution in after years. Accounting for It. Metals show fatigue, says a scientist. That must account for so many iron constitutions breaking down.—Washington Post. Under Sentence of Death. Condemned to death, a prisoner in Greece is kept in confinement for two years before the sentence is carried out. Figure. If you really want to do some good as a reformer, figure out how much time you waste every day, then get busy. Few Real Wants. If it were possible to simplify life to the uttermost how little one really wants.—Gertrude Jokyll. A Shield of Soap. Customer (to barber)—Lather me thoroughly; here comes my tailor. Sound Carried Under Water. Sound Carried Under Water. The sound of a bell carries better under water than through the air. PAGE. 10. CROQUETTES AS A DAINTY. Mashed Potatoes and Minced Meat Put to Good Use. The following is selected as a recipe which is about as inclusive as it should be appetizing: Croquettes made from mashed potatoes and minced meat of any kind are almost too appetizing to be considered second hand. Mash the potatoes thoroughly while hot, and for three cupfuls allow two tablespoonfuls of hot milk or cream, one tablespoonful of butter and seasoning to taste. Then add any cold meat on hand finely minced. About half the quantity makes it very pleasing. Beat up two eggs and mix them well in with the meat and potato mixture. Turn out on a platter and when cold form into croquettes. Cover with egg and breadcrumbs, and fry in very hot fat to a nice brown. These may be made already for frying, in cold weather, the day before. The adding of small dabs of turnip, squash, or carrot, if not enough to be too pronounced, would be an improvement for some tastes, while using up those "spoonful remnants," which are often so elusive. If you forgot and didn't make enough of that plum pudding the "Twice too much is just half enough" kind, here is a simple little cracker pudding: One quart milk, four small crackers, three eggs, one cup sugar, one cup stoned raisins, cinnamon and salt. Bake slowly 1½ hours. FOR THOSE FOND OF FISH. Here Are Shown the Best Methods of Preparing and Serving. Fish as a food contains much the same proportion of nutriment as butcher's meat, only in much lighter form. It is best to choose the kind of fish that is in season, for it is then more plentiful. Fish to be boiled should be put into boiling water and cooked gently. It is done when the fish comes readily from the bones. Steaming is better than boiling, and especially for the more delicate kinds of fish. Fish roes take longer to cook than the fish itself, and should, therefore, be put on before the latter. Always fry fish before applying batter when frying, and never use inferior or rancid fat. Mackerel should never be washed when intended for broiling, but merely wiped clean and dry. Open at the back, and turn well over while cooking. Fresh fish have the eyes bright, the gills red, the body stiff; but one of the surest guides is the smell. Sweetbread Croquettes. One pair of sweetbreads that have been parboiled and all skins and pipes removed, half can of mushrooms and two hard boiled eggs. Put these in chopping tray and mince fine with a sprig of parsley. Add a teaspoonful of onion juice, a few drops of paprika, half teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, and salt to taste. Mix well together. Put one cup of fresh cream into a saucepan over fire, stir in one heaping teaspoonful of butter blended with a tablespoonful of flour. Stir until smooth. Add the sweetbreads and let boil up once. Put in dish and set aside to cool. Dip into a cupful of bread crumbs, then in beaten egg, again in bread crumbs. Fry in deep Carrots ...John Jeny. When making jelly and it does not jell clean a few carrots, cut them up, and put in jelly. Let boil a few minutes until done. Teeth of Sperm Whale. A teacher writes that after instructing pupils for years that the toothless condition of the sperm whale accounted for the ability of Jonah to invade one without abrasion, she has been informed that the sperm has teeth, and wants to know if this is a fact. It is. The sperm whale has a score or more of teeth, according to age. These protrude at least two inches, making a really dangerous barrier to any scheme of using the place for a toboggan slide. Pollen Travels Far. The pollen from pine forests often forms a yellow coating on lakes or on the ocean, as far as 200 miles from the shore, and has been mistaken by peasants for showers of sulphur. The pollen grains of the pine are provided with yellow vesicles, which buoy them up in the air very much on the principle of a box kite. Rich Fisheries in Siberia. The fisheries of Siberia are very important. The River Amur is especially rich in salmon. The amount of preserved fish exported from Siberia grew from 640 tons in 1899 to 2,000 tons in 1902. The high price of salt and tin plate and the lack of skilled knowledge are retarding the Siberian canned fish industry. For School Children. Children should romp and play out of doors as much as possible, and too much excitement in the way of matinees and parties is bad for their delicate organizations. The average child who attends school has a good deal to do and should have many hours for fun and recreation. Charm of Paris Society. The charm of society life in Paris lies in its great diversity. We love even its painful duties. We attend with equal eagerness—I had almost said equal satisfaction—a state funeral or a first presentation. This is a form of worldly politeness in its higher sense. Ladies' Field. Presidential Flag. The presidential flag has a blue ground with the arms of the United States in the center. It was designed and first used by President Arthur in 1883, and is now hoisted at the main whenever the president is on board of any government vessel. Young America. Six-year-old Ray's teacher was endeavoring to give some very simple instructions in fractions. She added: "If Jane has six eggs and uses half of them to bake a cake what part will she have left?" Quickly came the answer: "The shells!"—The Delineator. Be Yourself. Shake off the stamp of artificiality; don't let yourself be tagged by conventionality. Be yourself. Respect life more than things and you will be happy and contented in the might of a noble manhood. Out of Their Element. The admission of women to the profession of medicine and the bar has so far caused them nothing but disappointment, and has increased the number of women out of their element. Revue de Monde Catholique. Paris. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Oyster Society. It is but seldom one imagines that a good joke is made about an oyster. Edmund Yates, however, in his "Recollections and Experiences," relates one. "I was walking with him one evening from the club," writes Yates, "and passing a fish shop in New street, he noticed two different tubs of oysters, one marked '1s a dozen,' and the other '1s 3d a dozen.' 'How they must hate eac' other!" said Thackeray." "Fear Malady" Lasting. As a rule a "fear" malady seldom approaches the bounds of lunacy, although occasionally it is accompanied by true hallucinations. A cure is always difficult and usually doubtful. The person born with a fear of blood, corpses, of high places or of sharp instruments, retains it all his life. Only rarely do educational influences rid him of it.—New Haven Palladium. Wages. The great white czar gets a salary of $25,000 a day, the sultan of Turkey $18,000, the emperor of Austria $12,-000, the kaiser $11,290, the king of Italy about $7,200, the king of England $6,270, Leopold of Belgium $1,700, and President Roosevelt $137. Napoleon's salary was about $15,000 a day. The president of France gets about $617 a day.—N. Y. Press. Sat on the Salmon. Mr. and Mrs. Gross had a funny experience with an eight-pound salmon at Green lake recently. After being hooked the salmon jumped right into the arms of Mrs. Gross and slid through to the bottom of the boat. Mrs. Gross promptly sat on the fish and made good its capture.—Montreal Herald English Ginger Beer. Put into an earthenware vessel two and a half pounds of loaf sugar, an ounce and a half of whole ginger bruised slightly, one ounce cream of tartar and two lemons sliced. Cover with three gallons of boiling water; let stand until lukewarm; then add a yeast cake softened in lukewarm water and spread on a slice of toasted bread. Let this stand all night to work. In the morning strain through muslin, bottle and cork very tightly, tying the corks down. It is ready for use in two or three days. Golden Dip. Trim crust from six slices of bread, toast on both sides and dip each slice in a deep dish containing a little hot milk, in which a tablespoon of butter has been melted. When moistened, take out, sprinkle with salt, and lay in another dish. Take a quart of milk, bring to boiling point and thicken with two tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in a little cold milk. Stir in two tablespoons butter; when melted add beaten yolks of three eggs and pour over toast in dish. J. WINSTON BAILEY, OPT. D.

In the matter of the estate of Zora A. Day. deceased. The People of the State of Colorado send greeting to unknown heirs living within or without the State of Colorado., non-resident heirs at law of the said Zora A. Day, deceased: You, the said heirs, are hereby notified that a paper writing purporting to be the last will and testament of Zora A. Day, deceased, who resided in the City and County of Denver, and State of Colorado, and departed this life on or about the 18th day of November, A. D. 1907, was this 10th day of December, A. D. 1908, presented to the County Court of the City and County of Denver, Colorado, for probate and record as the true last will and testament of the said Zora A. Day, deceased, by John L. Hilton, John J. Berkley having declined to act, nominated and appointed by said instrument. That it is shown by satisfactory proof that the said Zora A. Day died possessed of real property consisting chiefly of three town lots in Valverde, in this County, and personal property in this County, all of said real estate supposed to be worth $75; and personal property to the value of $15; that said instrument bears date of Nov. 19th, A.

Here is a news item the like of which one does not find in the newspapers of the United States. It comes from the City of Mexico and describes the exciting incident at Queretaro: "Yesterday's bullfight," the reader is informed, "was wretched, and started a row. The management announced that the bulls would be first-class, but those which appeared were very small and showed no fight whatever. Four of these ridiculous beasts were sent back to the corral, another barely qualified, and only one turned out to be a real bull. "The public, unable to repress its indignation, laid hold of everything it could get its hands on and threw it into the bull ring, causing serious damage. "In the midst of the excitement the announcement was made that the management had been fined $100, but this was not sufficient to allay the public indignation. The manager of the bull ring was compelled to hide owing to the fact that some of the most excited individuals in the audience were making a diligent search for him. "It was a tremendous row, as we remarked before, and would have had more serious consequences had not the Fifth corps of rural police arrived on the scene most opportunely. The policemen made the discontented audience disperse, and then mounted guard over the bull ring and the residence of the manager." CHANCE FOR SETTLEMENT GONE. Basso Might Have Decided Vexed Question, But He Didn't. The choir began the hymn. When they came to the line: "Neither are they afraid," the composer of the music had so written it that it had to be repeated first by the soprano, then by the alto, and finally by the bass. The soprano seemed to be of conservative taste and sang the line: "Nee-ther are they afraid." Apparently the alto had departed from the usage of her forefathers, for when she brought out the words they became "Ni-ther are they afraid," and it became a serious question which side the bass would take. The bass was an Irishman. Out rolled his rich voice: "Nay-ther are they afraid." So the question of usage still remained unsettled. The Wise Fly. In a lecture on flies before the Royal Photographic society of London, F. P. Smith said that with a little patience flies could be trained, and he showed some cinematograph records of flies lying on their backs twirling miniature dumb-bells, balancing weights bigger than themselves, climbing revolving wheels, and acting as nursemaids, holding dummy babies. Accurately balanced little machines were used for training the flies, and the only discomfort to the insect, said the lecturer, was involved in its being imprisoned for a day or two. On being released, although its wings were uninjured, it had no desire to fly, but showed tractableness and readiness to perform these extraordinary gyrations instead. The Tenor's Compliment. You could tell from his hair that he Automobile for Hire Carriages Furnished for all Occasions Open Day and Night 1921 Arapahoe St Denver's Leading Undertaker sort. "Yes," he said to the company at large, "the greatest tenor in the land once paid me the biggest compliment I could wish." "Oh?" remarked some one, interrogatively. "It was like this: I sang without accompaniment—I always have trouble with accompanists; they're so unsympathetic, you know—and at the end of the song he said to me: 'Do you know, when you began without an accompanist, I was surprised; when I heard you, I was astonished; and when you sat down I was delighted!'" And the sun shone down and lit up the youth's beatific smile of satisfaction. When Beef Went Up. The rise in beef took a humorous turn recently. The Fulton Eye, according to the Atlanta Constitution, tells this story of it: "A shorthorn bull walked into the door of the Farmers' bank last Thursday morning and climbed to the top of the stairway, much to the surprise of the doctors, who occupy the offices above. The animal found room to turn around at the top of the stairs and came down again. It is presumed that the animal was looking for Dr. Ward, the veterinary surgeon, and climbed the wrong stairway by mistake." Books to Read. The remark as to Macaulay being "a very common sort of bookbuyer, who always bought books to read," which Sir George Trevelyan tells us, emanated from the late Bernard Quaritch, recalls an anecdote related by Locker-Lampson in "My Confidences." "Bedford, emperor of Morocco, once sent me home a little binding which I considered unsatisfactory—the volume did not shut properly; it gaped. When I pointed out this grievous defect, his only remark was: 'Why, bless me, sir, you've been reading it!'" Learning All the Secrets. Husband—Why were you so anxious to get that maid?

I used the red shampoo and eggs, as I thought the scalp must have a thorough cleaning to start with, and you didn't designate which to use first. I must say it was the most delightful shampoo I ever had. I felt like I had a new head (laugh). Now, as to your salve, it is the nearest thing to perfection I have ever used, as a dressing, and I don't think you've exaggerated its merits. Mrs. P. D. Perkins: Dear Madam—I now write you what your wonderful hair remedy has done for me. My hair had been falling out for over a year. It came out in spots larger than a dollar. Black heads and pimples came in the bald spots and my scalp looked like it had been scalded. After using your treatment three months the scalp began looking better and the black heads and pimples disappeared. New hair came in, and after using your remedy six months my hair was all in again I also had the worst case of dandruff one ever seen. Your shampoo and scalp treatment has cured me after hundreds of other remedies had failed. I cannot praise your remedy half enough and advise all others to try them as I have, and they shall find good results if they follow full instructions. I am, yours truly, Everett S. P. Daulson, 125 North 3rd St., Phoenix, Ariz., formerly of 805 Linden St., Oakland, Calif. SEEKS ADVICE Philadelphia Pa., Nov. 13th, 1908. Mrs. Perkins: Dear Madam-By the advice of Miss Bertha Scott I am writing to you concerning my hair. It has never been very long, but long and thick enough for me to do it up nicely. But within the last year or more it has grown very thin and short. I have been to the most noted hair culturist in this city for six months and there is not the least bit of improvement. And as there is such an improvement in Miss Scott's hair (for her hair was in a very bad condition), I feel sure that you can do something for mine. HENRIETTA R.

Kind Friends:— A Magnetic Healer has arrived in the city, and invites the sick and afflicted to make no delay in calling to see him. Precious Life and Health can be Saved by this that would be Hopeless Under the Old Methods. The Nature of 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 wonderful 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.

Mr. Hamilton to Mr. Burr: "Your first letter, in a style too peremptory, made a demand, in my opinion, unprecedented and unwarrantable . . . but by your last letter, containing expressions indecorous and improper, you have increased the difficulties to explanation intrinsically incident to the nature of your application." To Be Original Be Honest and Sincere To Be Original Be Honest and Sincere To be original, we must be natural, that is enough; and if we are honest and sincere we shall be original; begin each day with a mind as open as a child's negatively alive to the new world and the new year that begins with every dawn; reverence our impulses, respect them as we would the tenderest shoots from our costliest bulbs.

WALTER EAST --- --- removing Paint. It is difficult to remove dry paint from a material, yet this is recommended Hold the article over steam until the paint is softened, then rub with a cloth dipped in kerosene. Repeat this until the steam and kerosene remove the stain or until the paint is weakened so that it can be removed with gasoline. Kerosene will often loosen paint and always without injury to the color. Many recommend hot turpentine, but it might explode and is extremely dangerous in the hands of an amateur. Maple Apples. Core and pare eight quick cooking tart apples. Let simmer in a cup each of maple sugar and water boiled together for two or three minutes until nearly tender, turning the apples often to avoid breaking. Set the apples in an enameled pan and press into them chopped almonds; dredge with grated maple sugar and brown. Serve warm with whipped cream. Giblet Gravy. Clean and wash the giblets and put them up to boil in a small pot well covered with water, and season them with salt and a little pepper. Let them boil till tender, then drain off the broth, but do not throw it away. Chop up giblets fine and put back in broth, make gravy in your usual way, strain, and when ready to serve add your chopped giblets. Scrambled Eggs with Peas. Take six eggs, one tablespoon of butter, three tablespoons of milk, salt and pepper and one-half pint of cooked peas. Heat butter and milk in pan. Break eggs in pan and stir until mixture thickens. Drain off liquid from hot peas, which are in another pan, and stir them in eggs. Serve hot. To Save Steps. One way to save steps is to nail a strip of varnished wood to the wall above the gas stove.

Our woman novelists, in proportion to their numbers, get fewer novel-dramas put on the stage than our man novelists.

Sunday at the People’s Sunday Al- liance was witnessed.one of the grandest days of the year. It started off by A. G. Fallings calling the Al- Mance's attention to the “protest” of the South Denver Improvement So- clety against our colored soldiers. Then Capt. Campbell, himself a sol- dier, every inch a courageous soul, lost himself in arousing the Alliance to action by his strong, forcible and patriotic plea for the Negro soldier to have a man’s chance in life, He spoke very warmly and suggested a way by which facts could solve the condition facing the Negro, He wound up by stating the Negro lodges, Negro churches, Negro business men, wo- men and enterprises wanted the sol- diers because of the surplus money spent by them on their pay days, and besides the aid we could do them. Fol- lowing closely on Rey, Murphy, pas- tory of Ward A. M. B. church, gave the best presentation of his subject than has ever been given in the Al- Nance. Rev.

Dutch Buns Freshly Baked Will Be Pronounced Delicious-Directions for Compounding Pudding of Baked Oranges. The Designer offers a recipe for Dutch buns which will be welcome. Dutch Buns.—Cream together one-half cupful each of butter, sugar and mashed and sifted potatoes; add four beaten eggs, one pint of scalded and cooled milk, half a teaspoonful of salt and one compressed yeast cake dissolved in one-quarter cupful of warm water. Stir in four cupfuls of flour and beat continuously and vigorously for ten minutes, and then stand to use in a warm place until light and frothy. Then add flour to make a soft dough—it will probably take four cupfuls, though the amount necessarily depends on the thickening properties of the flour, which varies in different grades. Turn the dough on to the molding board and knead to a smooth, elastic bulk. Set to rise once more, and when doubled in bulk shape with as little handling as possible in small round biscuits. Place them two inches apart on a buttered baking sheet and stand, covered with a cloth, in a warm place for an hour and a half, and bake in a moderate oven for 35 minutes. This amount will make 36 small buns. Split and toasted, or, rather, dried through and through, they make an ideal zwieback. Baked Orange Pudding.—One cup of sugar, large tablespoon of butter, two eggs and one and a half cups of milk, two cups of flour and two teaspoons of baking powder, flavor with the grated rind of two large oranges. Bake until golden brown in a brisk oven. Serve with the following sauce: Four large tablespoons of sugar, two of butter and one of flour. Cream these three ingredients together until perfectly smooth. Beat the white of one egg to a froth and add it, pour over the mixture until it is creamy, and allowing no lumps to form. Have prepared two large oranges, from which all the peel and skin have been removed, also the pits, and chop them in small pieces. Remove the sauce from the fire and add these oranges. Serve the pudding piping hot in the pudding dish, have sauce in separate dish and pour a goodly lot over each portion. Nan Marders. Capay. Wash and pare six large potatoes; cut in small pieces so as to cook quickly. Boil till done. Mash or rice them and season with salt, pepper and a lump of sweet butter the size of a walnut. Pour in enough rich sweet milk so they will beat easily with a spoon. Beat until light and creamy. Put in an enamel basin, rounding up the top. Next beat an egg until light and spread over top and bake in a hot oven 20 minutes, or until a golden brown. Fold a napkin around basin, twisting corners to form handles. Serve hot. Cold boiled potatoes are not a success fixed this way; must be fresh. Chestnut Dressing. Select 50 large plump chestnuts. Take off the outer shell, throw them into a deep bowl and pour boiling water over them to loosen the skin THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. It should slip on as a beet peel does, between thumb and finger. Drop the blanched nuts into salted boiling water —enough to cover them—and simmer until tender. Drain and chop very fine. Remove the marrow from two bones, cut very fine and mix with the nuts. Add salt and pepper to taste. Moisten slightly with sweet cream or new milk and fill the turkey by the aid of a big spoon. Do not pack in the dressing with your hand. Cranberry Catsup. One quart cranberries, one cup water, two cups vinegar. Tie in a piece of muslin a few cloves, four whole allspice, a tablespoon broken stick cinnamon, and some mace. Simmer all together in granite pan till fruit is soft. Press through a colander. Add two cups brown sugar. Simmer ten minutes longer and seal. This recipe makes a most delicious catsup and one conveniently made in small quantities at any time through the winter. A good way to take the "black" off cake when it is burned. Allow the cake to cool, and then take an ordinary grater and rub lightly over the burned surface. This will leave a light brown crust on the cake, so that it can be frosted, and is much better than cutting the burned part off with a knife. Corn Chowder. Three medium sized potatoes (diced), one cup of corn, three slices of bacon (diced), one quart milk, one medium sized onion. Fry bacon and onion together. When the potatoes are done mix the milk and the fried onions and the bacon. Do not drain the potato water. Spice Cake Without Eggs. One cup of sugar, three-fourths cup of lard, two cups of sour milk, one teaspoonful each of allspice and cinnamon, flour to make stiff batter, and fruit if liked; mix in order given. This makes a good as well as cheap cake. Hint for Canning Grape Juice. In canning grape juice if you will put one tablespoonful of pure glycerin to every gallon of juice, sweetened to taste, the juice will not become "glassy." To Make Good.

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.

Think it Over When people want to throw their money away, that is their business. But when they get out to buy serv- ice they have a right to get honest re- turn. Especially is this true in the ease of insurance, for in the time of sickness and death, need is insistently present, and not only must an insur- ance 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 Acci- dent, of which the following is said in the “Insurance Report.” Both be- cause of the source of this informa. tion and because of the exhaustive detail with which it is given, this cas- tigation of the methods of the West. ern 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 Ad- mittance to Montana and New NSAI Special Examiner Paul L. Woolston has just completed for the New Mex- ico and Montana insurance depart: ments an examination of the affairs of the Western Life & Accident of Denver. As a result, both states re- fuse to permit the company to do busi- ness 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 ob- tained a large proportion of its busi- ness by mail without obtainmg li- censes. Also business was transacted by license in several states far dis- tant from the home office. ‘Ine re- cently enacted laws of Colorado for- bid Colorado companies to do business in other states without a license there- for, under pain of revocation of li- eit aU, | SBE slaws 8 UUTaGO, Ulan and Wy | oming, in w ich states it has been fi | censed for ‘he current year of 1908 | However, th» comapny still has mem | bers in man, states where it does no | write any ne w business. | BONDS. | No Officer: of the company are un | der any bon! whatever. On uctober | 21, 1907, the board of directors passed | a motion fix! ag the bond of the secre tary and tre: surer at $5,000, to be fur. | nished by J\ ne 1, 1908.

The—minu es since organization of! the company have been examined with care. The by-la\'s require monthly meet- ings, but th: minutes show that not more than ‘hree or four meetings a /year, at whch a quorum is p-esent, are held. | Directors re paid $25.00 per month, /exclusive c’ officers.

There ar two certificates o> poli cies in pre ent use by the company |i dustrial ead Ordinary, the first pe }img_en a veekly and the seconi a monthly pr:mium. An examination | of these foi ms does not disclose any | serious de ects. The benefits and | conditions * ppear to be clearly stated. }and are in the form usual in such classes of ¢ ontracts. | Attention however, is called to the } following: (1) Fifth paragraph, on page 1, pro | viding for 1 dividend at the end of | five years, “not to exceed” a stated }amount. T ds paragraph was first in. | Serted in 1303, and upon policies in | which the lause has become operat | ive in 1908 a dividend equal to 90 per | cent. of th» premiums charged, less |all claims, has been allowed. | In the coinion of your examiner | this clause is inserted with the intent | to deceive the public into believing | that the ar.ount stated in this clause is guarant'ed, whereas, the words | “not to exc ed” in fine type allow the |company t) pay any sum it should 'choose. In the interests of the mem bers of thi mutual company and the |insuring ptblic, the words “not te }exceed” sould be required to bt struck fro:: the policy and an ade quate reser re maintained to meet the obligation or all reference to the amount to be paid under this benefi should be truck out. Further, it is doubtful whether the | power to g ‘ant endowment benefits i: _anticipated by the laws of the severa | states to mutual assessment com Il nantac eC wk wnawan ehanl’a ha wre PAGE. 9. WOrUs, tHE PYMEIeS at MUL acorn _ment 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 state- ment has been verified. If the com- pany 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 tne pay- |ment of any future losses should the | premiums be wasted in abnormal ex- pense, as appears to be the case at present. For this uncertain insur- ance members are paying a higher rate, according to the companys own statement, than for similar insurance in the strongest and mos treputable companies in the country. It is dif- cult 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. Lin- eau, and he states that the company appears to comply with the policy re- quirements without any apparent ef- fort to avoid the payment of just claims. There seems to be much mis- understanding regarding the cla:ms that may be made under the policies, but this is to be expected from the classes of people insured by the com- pany. ~ A company known as the “Western Life and Accident Association” was organized in Seattle, Wash., early this year by the vice-president of the Den- ver company. The similar name as- sumed is suggestive, especially as said association does not appear to ye licensed by any state. In order *o | 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 submiited /to the president for his own sworn replies. The affidavit is enclosed herewith, marked 9, which indicates that the companies are entirely inde | pendent as far as the president is still receiving $100 a month from the Denver company as_ vice-president thereof. The general methods of the .wm- pany are not believed to be worthy of | confidence. A mail business and S0- liciting by unlicensed agents was re- sorted 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. Tbe 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 organ- lization 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 conferred. There is no justification ‘for a so-called mutual organization of this character unless it can furnisp }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 ob- taining reliable insurance in a stock
