PRESIDING ELDER'S LETTER TWENTIETH YEAR To the ministers and members and friends of the Denver Presiding Elder District greeting: This letter comes to say to you that after traveling a distance of some 3,000 miles I have completed the work of the first quarter. Cordial, indeed, has been my reception and very profitable the meetings. At every meeting save two from one to four have united with the church. Our predecessor, the Rev. James H. Hubbard, who is now sick and is spending the winter in California for the benefit of his health, laid a good foundation for the uplift of the people and spread of the Gospel throughout the district, on which we hope to build, with your assistance, a powerful structure of righteousness. Aside from the spiritual interest manifested in the churches, nothing has given me more consolation and joy than to note the deep and growing interest taken by the women with our missionary societies in the district. They are thoroughly aroused and we look for great results. Let me here say to you that your cause is just and you will under God succeed. Beloved co-workers, members and friends, very much of the territory in the Denver district is strictly mission work, and must be closely nursed. Several of our ministers are now making very great sacrifice to keep the way open for the people to hear the Gospel. That you have been liberal none will deny. A glance at the reports made last year on dollar money, missionary money, charities and all other monies, shows that you are a broad-hearted, liberal and loyal people. But, dear brethren and sisters and friends, the first quarter has passed into history, and so has the year 1908, and it carried with it all your noble acts as well as your mistakes and blunders, if you made any. Let us therefore cement and try to mend our own and look with charity upon those of others. Let us bury all malice, every strife and care with the old year and start with fresh courage and new zeal into the duties of New Year. Please allow me to call attention to some new obligations that the district will be called upon to help meet this conference year. Ward Hall, at Western University, Quindard, Kas., has a debt of $2,500.00 that must be canceled next fall. And the Denver district of the Colorado conference will be called upon to raise a portion of that amount. Kindly be ready to respond when the pastor calls on you for the assessment for that purpose. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY JANUARY 2 1909 Also the worn out preachers of conference have been given ground on which to build a home at Colorado Springs, Colo., and several thousand dollars have been subscribed by the ministers of the different conferences to build this home, and Sunday, February 14, 1909, has been set apart in the Fifth Episcopal district, also known as Bishop Allen's birthday, to ask the entire church to give a free-will offering for the home on that day. The pastor will call on you that day, and what you give for the home will be sent to Rev. J. w. Braxton, 230 South Wphatch street, Colorado Springs, who is the general agent for the home and through whom General Palmer donated ground. And now, commending you to the watchful care of Him who is able to provide for you and keep you in sickness and health, in the darkness and the light, in prosperity and adversity, I wish you a happy and prosperous New Year. J. C. C. OWENS, P. E. Denver District, January 1, 1909. MASONS HAVE JAMMED HOUSE—ALL KINDS OF SUCCESSSES SCORED. No wonder at 8 p. m. all the doorkeepers and ticket sellers were highly elated, as they so unconsciously demonstrated by their broad grins. No wonder the hall at 9:30 fairly groaned with that countless mass of humanity, because every Mason did his duty. People were there whose friends forgot they were living in Denver; persons were there who never had been on the inside of East Turner hall before, besides the regular attendants to such social functions. Words failed to describe the jam, which meant nothing but dollars to the Masons. We can only say it was a success, and even a greater one than last year. The Statesman congratulates the committee on that numerous throng. MASONS HAVE JAMMED HOUSE ALL KINDS OF SUCCESSES SCORED.

While Xmas morning was the day of joy, happiness and reverence, and sunbeams of gladness was to radiate from everybody's heart, yet there was a home in Kansas City, Mo., where darkness, gloom and deep sorrow held its heavy pall. Miss Bertha Cole, a young, brilliant, amiable lady, who led Shorter's choir during last summer and who always wore a broad smile on her face, was cut off suddenly from this life, we are told, as she was on her way to train her Sunday school class at the church. Those who knew her feel the blow deeply and keenly; those who only were acquainted with her feel the sting of a broken friendship, while strangers will bow their heads in reverent sympathy because of the glorious work done in this state and Kansas. She was musical and a teacher high in her profession, and as a Sunday school teacher she was loved by all. While we bow to His will, yet we believe we voice the sentiment of all of the people in Denver when we say Denver loved Miss Cole, and for that reason she extends her deepest sympathy to the family during this period of their bereavement. THE ALLIANCE CONTINUES TO TREAT PUBLIC. Mr. Roger W. Wolcott measured up to the standard of the recent speakers of the People's Sunday Alliance. His address was strong, forcible and easily within the grasp of all. He grew very practical and pungent at times, which only served to further impress the crowd with his facts and logic. It was certainly a treat to have heard him. The board of directors met Monday and prepared a program for the next month. It was announced that there is a strong possibility of C. D. Clem returning to assist the Alliance with his entertainment; also that a concert will be given at Zion Baptist church on the 14th for the benefit of the Alliance, and at that concert there will be one orator from the several churches to win the honor of the best delivery. An excellent musical program also will be rendered. The election of officers will occur Sunday. The names of several prominent men has been suggested for president. Jan. 5th is the time, East Turnor is the place. The girl is up to you. So bring her along. A missionary crusade rally will be held Wednesday night, January 20, at Bethlehem Baptist Church, 2716 Larimer street. A splendid sacred program will be rendered, at which time a silver offering will be taken for Samira Harris. Heart talks by some of the best women of the city. Light refreshments served.

In fact, if the wild man of the woods and plains does not sleep quietly, he runs the risk of being discovered by his enemy, and the scalp of the snorer would soon adorn the belt of his crafty and more quietly sleeping adversary. With civilization, however, we have changed all this, declares a writer in Health. The impure air of our sleeping rooms induces all manner of catarrhal affections. The nasal passages are the first to become affected. Instead of warming the inspired air on the way to the lungs, and removing from it the dangerous impurities with which it is loaded, the nose becomes obstructed. A part of the air enters and escapes by the mouth. The veil of the palate vibrates between the two currents—that through the mouth and the one still passing through the partially closed nostrils—like a torn sail in the wind. The snore, then, means that the sleeper's mouth is partially open, that his nose is partially closed, and that his lungs are in danger from the air not being properly warmed and purified. From the continued operation of these causes—the increase of impure air in sleeping rooms and permitting habitual snorers to escape killing and scalping—some scientist has predicted that in the future all men (and all women, too) will snore. It goes along with decay of the teeth and baldness. FEW WORDS, BUT TO THE POINT. Elder Evidently Meant There Should Be No Misunderstanding. Last summer the congregation of a little kirk in the Highlands of Scotland was greatly disturbed and mystified by the appearance in its midst of an English lady who made use of an ear trumpet during the sermon—such an instrument being entirely unknown in those simple parts. There was much discussion of the matter, and it was finally decided that one of the elders—who had great local reputation as a man of parts—should be deputed to settle the question. On the next Sabbath the unconscious offender again made her appearance and again produced the trumpet, whereupon the chosen elder rose from his seat and marched down the aisle to where the old lady sat, and, entrcating her with an upraised finger, said, sternly: "The first toot—ye're oot!"—Harper's. A Good Inheritance. No boy or girl can ever come to be utterly bad who remembers only love and tenderness and unselfishness and sweetness as associated with father and mother in the old-time home. Give them manly and womanly examples, give them training, give them the inspiration of devoted lives, give them these higher, deeper things. Do not care so much as to whether you are accumulating money, so that you can leave them a fortune. I really believe that the chances are against that's being a blessing for a boy. But leave them an accumulated fortune of memories and inspirations and examples and hopes, so that they are rich in brain and heart and soul and service. Then, if you happen to leave them the fortune besides, if they have all these THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Sleepless Creatures There are several species of fish, reptiles and insects that never sleep during the whole of their existence. Among fish it is positively known that pike, salmon and gold fish at no time sleep; also that there are other members of the fish family that sleep only a few minutes during the course of a month. There are various species of flies that never indulge in slumber, and five species of serpents also that do not sleep. When Europe Shivered. The winter of 1858 was very mild in the United States, but particularly severe in Europe. For the first time in the nineteenth century the river Po was frozen over at Ferrara, permitting for a long time the constant passage of man and beast. At Constantinople snow fell constantly for 15 days. The snow extended to Smyrna, the adjacent districts of Asia Minor, and the Greek islands were clothed in white. The Rat as a Fighter. Rats have been known to kill and eat babies, and as they are not afraid to attack full-grown men they would probably make short work of dogs and cats when their numbers were as great as they were in Hamelin. For its size the rat is one of the fiercest of animals and it multiplies so rapidly that it is no wonder it got the better of the poor people of that town. Of Learning. Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man; and, therefore, if a man write a little, he had need of a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit; and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know that he doth not.—Francis Bacon. Emerson's Philosophy. The things that are really for thee gravitate to thee. You are running to seek your friend. Let your feet run, but your mind need not. . . . For there is a power, which as it is in you, is in him, also, and could therefore very well bring you together, if it were for the best.—Emerson. innies or evil, and will become an instrument of the higher and nobler good.—Minot J. Savage. Was He Delirious? "Almost every man," says a Baltimore specialist, "learns sooner or later to think of his doctor as one of his best friends, but this fact does not hinder the world from laughing at the profession. "How is our patient this morning?" asked a physician, a fellow-graduate of mine, of a patient's brother. "Oh, he's much worse,' came from the other in a tone of dejection. 'He's been delirious for several hours. At three o'clock he said: 'What an old woman that doctor of mine is!" and he hasn't made a rational remark since.'"—Lippincott's. An Inherited Falling. A native of Annam, Indo-China, sentenced in Paris for theft, wrote the following apology to his employer: "All Annamites, whether emperors, mandarins, secretaries, literary men and others, are born thieves. It is a grave and deadly complaint, and there is no cure for it. I know people do not like thieves in France, but it cannot be helped." Too Serious for Sport. In Canada business dominates sport. Figure it all out, and you will find that Canada's motto is "Sport for boys, business for men."—Canadian Courier. London's Coldest Day. December 25, 1796, is recorded as the coldest day ever known in London, when the thermometer registered 16 degrees below zero. Has Many Manufacturing Plants. Few persons ever think of New York being a manufacturing city, but it has about 70,000 manufacturing establishments. Daily Thought. Take a rest; a field that has rested gives a beautiful crop.—Ovid. Latin Proverb. A common danger produces unan- nfinity. Hard to Find Material. Nature is lavish in the production of everything but great men.—Hubbard. Poorly Supplied with Teeth. Despite its great size, an elephant Laundry Hints. A single spot or stain will ruin the expensive lingerie gown, and unless the home laundress knows how to take the spot out the owner of the gown gives herself up to wailing and gnashing of teeth. There are two things most important of all to remember in taking out stains: The sooner the spotted garment is sent to the laundress the easier it will be to take out the spot; if the spot be old the laundress should be told what caused it, for there are different methods to be applied to almost every kind of stain. Spice Layer Cake. Cake part—Two tablespoons molasses, four tablespoons melted butter, one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon cinnamon, one-half teaspoon cloves, a little nutmeg, one cup sugar, one egg, one cup real sour milk, two cups flour and one teaspoon soda. Mix in order given and bake in two layer-cake tins. Filling—Grate one large apple, add a cup sugar and the beaten white of one egg. Beat vigorously till thick and white, and use for filling and top of cake. It is "all right." Try it. Melted Butter Sauce. Put into a stewpan two ounces of good butter, and let it melt; mix with it one ounce of fine flour, and stir together till smooth; then mix into it by degrees half a pint of hot water, add a pinch of salt, a dust of red pepper, and six or eight drops of lemon juice, and stir till it boils; then wring through a sieve. To Hang Plates. If you wish to hang a large platter or plaque fasten three or four picture hooks in place at regular intervals over the edge with wire instead of using the "plate hangers" of the shops. For small plates, etc., use medium sized dress hooks and fasten with wire in the same way. A New Chicken Dish. If one wants to use left-over chicken for a delicious supper or luncheon dish the meat should be cut into cubes and then made hot in rich white sauce. This should be covered with strips of red Spanish peppers, which now sell by the can. PAGE. 10. The First Chickens. It is generally understood that the ancestry of the chicken tribe may be traced to the jungle fowl of India. All of the various varieties of our domestic fowls have been produced, it is claimed by the authorities on the subject, from the wild fowl of India. Feminine Lack of Logic. Tell a wife that men are selfish, she will readily acquiesce. But tell that same woman that by spoiling her boys—whether in the nursery or at school or university—she is sowing the seeds of egotism, she will give you an emphatic denial.—Car. Worth of Adversity. He that has never known adversity is but half acquainted with himself or with others. Constant success shows us but one side of life. There is a merit which we may win by our mistakes.—Thorold. Idle Questions. This may be an age when time is money, but first reflect on the number of useless questions which we ask each other every day, and to which we neither receive nor expect answers.—Madrid Mundo. When She Will Be Man's Equal. Woman can can never hope to be man's equal until, instead of exulting when she hears of the fall of one of her sisters, she honestly says to herself: "Poor thing! It's too bad that she got found out." Improved Ice Cream Freezer. A new ice cream freezer, by using a glass can, claims to do away with the arduous labor of turning a crank and freezes its contents by packing in crushed ice and salt. Rubber Displacing Tea. In a once famous tea district of India the cultivation of rubber has driven the production of the former to second place, nearly 17,000 acres being devoted to rubber plantations. Not Good. "Was it a good comedy?" "Very poor; the only time my husband smiled was when he went out after each act."—Houston Post. Make the Best of Things. Happiness includes the art of overlooking things and concealing regrets. As the Lord loveth a cheerful giver, the world loveth a cheerful looker. Best Wrapping for Butter. The use of aluminum paper with which to wrap butter is said to preserve the sweetness of the butter for a very long period. Only Simple Justice.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. mez” How to Keep Young, It is true that the neophobia of the old has its cause in mental attitude rather than in physical decay. It is not that the mental power is less, but {t is natural for a man to rely on the thinking he did in his twenties and to refuse to reopen questions he “set- led” half a lifetime ago. This atrophy of thought can be avoided if the danger is foreseen, and a man deliberately forms the habit of breaking thonght habits. It can be escaped if a man recognizes that he is borne on a siream of social change and that, instead of trusting to the perspective in which things appeared in his youth, he must look and look again. —From Social Psychology, by E. A. Ross. Monument to Soidier-Statesman. Friends of the late Gen. Fitzhugh Lee have erected a monument over his grave in Hollywood cemetery, Rich- mond. On the front is the Lee coat of arms. Beneath are the dates of his birth and death, November, 1835, and April, 1905, and the inscription, “Faith- ful Unto Death.” On the north side is: “Major General, C. S. A. 1862-65; Commander of Cavalry, Army of Northern Virginia, 1864-65." On the back of the shaft {s “Governor of Vir- ginia, 188690; Consul General to Cuba, 1896-98." On the south side ts: “Major General Commanding the Seventh Army Corps of the United States, 1898; Brigadier General of the United States, retired, 1901." Historical Paceant. Louls N. Park, the enterprising Iit- erary American who was placed in charge of the recent lord mayor's show in London, tuned what had come to be regarded as a sort of elr- cus procession into an interesting pageant. Shakespeare was accom- panied by a picturesque entourage of characters from his plays. Chaucer was followed by a band of personages of his creating, and Spenser and Mar- lowe were attended in like manner, A striking feature was William Caxton on a float with a group of printers working an ancient printing press. These historical pageants will be con- tinued progressively in future shows Be Courteous at Home. As in ordinary family life, politeness and courtesy are never out of place. We cannot all of us be always cheer- ful or always witty and agreeable; we cannot always shine, and I do not know that it would not be very tire- some {if we could. But we can always keep ourselves stocked with the blessed small change of life which sweetens the path of mortal existence so surely and so delightfully. You know the old saw: Politeness costs lit- tle and buys. much. Well, politeness, esasoned with kindness, is the best flavoring that can be given in life.— John Strange Winter. Coyote Against Rabbit. T have been ranching on an island for more than a quarter of a century. There are no carnivorous wild ani- mals on my island but the coyote, and T could get riq of him in a very short time and at very little expense, but if 1 did the rabbit would soon put me out of business. I have experimented along these lines, and know what I'm talking about, and I declare here and now that in my opinion the carnivor- ous wild animals of Texas save the farmers and stock raisers hundreds of millions of dollats by keeping the rab- Pit in check—Houston Post. _ " Schere for Ventilation.

Dogs to\Match. y The late dowager empress of China was the most powerful personage of the day, yet between the lines of a re- cent imperial edict a delightfully fem- inine bias is easily discoverable. Her majesty, who was the supreme authority on the standard qualifica- tions of the little Pekingese spaniel, which is exclusively reserved for im- perial use, gave’an order thus: “For the color, let it be like that of a lion, a sable-gold, to be carried in the sleeve of a golden robe, or the color of a red or of a black bear, or white, or striped like a dragon, so that there may be a dog appropriate to every cos- tume.”—Youth’s Companion pee eee eens Bad Eggs in Commerce. Bad egg dealing is a business in it- self in England. All bad eggs go to tanners. These eggs are carefully opened by hand and the whites are separated from the yolks—unpleasant work, but work that no machine can do. The yolks are mixed with flour and salt, and this dough is sold to the leather men, who size and dress hides with it. The whites are used in the sizing of fine paper. Care must be taken that they are properly sepa rated, as the least bit of yolk in the whites would cause a yellow streak on the paper's surface. A Look Ahead. Simon had just paid a long-delayed bill at the grocer’s, partly in response to many urgings, and partly because he happened to have the requisite ready money. The grocer, an old friend, in spite of his persistence in dunning, thanked him heartily. “Good for you, Simon,” he sald, gra- ciously, “you deserve credit for paying up this way.” bs “I know it,” said Simon, “and I wish you'd give if to me soone- avother time.”—Youth’s Companior. 5. ¢ Years Had Made a Difference. “Don't sit so near the window, dar- ling,” sald a spoony young German bridegroom to his bride on their wed- ding tour; “let us try to keep the car- riage all to ourselves, Some jackanapes is sure to get In if he sees your pret- ty face!” The same speaker, 30 years later: “Move up to the window, old woman, 80 that we may have the com- partment to ourselves; you will fright- en all the other passengers away, you know!” J.

E. church. So long as memory holds her place, so long will the Xmas tree exercises be recalled to the citizens of Havre. The Sunday school contribution to the exercise shown ability and tact on the part of the officers and teachers. The kindness of Mrs. W. H. Barnes will long be remembered in the minds of the children of Havre. The cordiality of Mrs. Barnes has always been noted as well as appreciated, but on this as well as appreciated, but on this occasion she deserves special comment in that she called by name every child in the city and made appreciable presents to each. Miss Biedela Johnson, in the preparing of these presents, acquitted herself as an accomplished lady of whom we are all proud. The church was beautifully decorated. On entering, to the right stood nature's production with bowers green, in the midst of which was there like sparkling diamond rins, silvery and golden. In the bud of this tree was a gold painted cross, decorated with wreaths of silver and gold. On each twig was tokens of gratitude, friendship and affection of parents to children, friends and relatives, but the aching brain of the spectator was still held in gaze. To the left was a floral arch, the hand of art had done its work and passed on, but in beauty and attraction she rivaled nature. The amazing silence was broken by the finger touch of Miss Lorena A. Spaulding, the accomplished organist of the church. The program was interesting, with music and rhetoricals appropriate for the occasion. Mrs. W. H. Barnes and others expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the exercise, which showed energetic skill and tact on the part of Rev. Bailey and Miss Lorena A. Spaulding. ary 5, 1908.

The Xmas tree and entertainment at the A. M. E. church was well attended on Xmas eve. The church was nicely decorated with holiday colors, which showed considerable skill in its arrangements. The Sunday school children who took part in the programme were well trained for the concert, pleasing the large audience. Mrs. Washington prepared the participants, which shows conclusively that she has the ability to do things. Many nice presents were distributed to the crowd from the loaded Xmas tree. Every child in the house received a present, which speaks well for the managers. Eureka Lodge No. 29, A. F. and A. M., held their annual sermon at A. M. E. church next. Rev. Washington has been engaged to preach the vermon. The Albuquerque citizens did themselves credit on last Friday eve with one hundred and fifty strong they gave one of the grandest receptions in the history of the city at the A. M. E. church for the benefit of the worthy strangers that have came to the city recently. The people of Albuquerque are a generous people and we desire to welcome all good people and adopt such methods to become acquainted in all matters that will mean success to our growing society. A fine supper was served and the long table was filled with a happy people. The strangers whom we met at this feast say they have fallen in love with Albuquerque and her people and vow they will never leave, but are going to write to their friends in the east telling what a fine class of people they have met, and are going to induce them to come to our city.

Extracts From a Speech. Miss Mary David, an 18-year-old lady from one of our prominent white families was the only lady to receive a prize in the annual high school oratorical contest, held in the presence of a packed house December 17tn, at the Elks' Opera House, the largest and finest equipped hall in the territory. She discussed the race problem with remarkable intelligence far in advance of her years, taking for her subject, "The future of the Negro." She brought out new thought on the subject that held the vast audience spell-bound during her entire discourse. Among the many thing said of interest were, that the American people were growing tired of lynch law, yet it would bankrupt the government to send the Negro back to Africa, his native land. She did not argue for social equality for the Negro, but said Negro domination was a myth. She brought out with considerable force that separate schools, separate street cars, separate railroad cars, separate business places, separate churches, that such conditions would never solve the great race problems of America, but would only increase the hostility of the races and race hatred would continue to grow, which condition she deplored. She brought pressure to bear, showing clearly with convincing argument that the Negro could not earn a living without working for the white man. She said in dealing with the Negro question we are reaping what we have been years in sowing. She concluded her logical discourse by an earnest appeal to the American white people to raise them altogether with fair dealings up to the standard of civilization. Miss Mary David won the prize on thought and composition before the most competent set of judges that could have been selected in our city. The judges were Mayor F. R. Lester, Lawyer Geo. S. Klock, Lawyer M. E. Hickey. Twelve contested for the prizes and they all deserved special mention for their efforts. No Negro students took part in the contest. e for Hire NNAWAY lain 776 Licensed Embalmer No. 234. LMORE nd Embalmer THE STATESMAN, DENVI:IR, COLORADO. ©... ~~. :=7:. pace. 12 PLEASED PATRON. Alamosa, Colo., Oct. 25, 1908. Mrs, Perkins: Dear Madam—I received the goods all right, which I presume you know by this time. I thought I'd wait to see how I liked your treatment be- fore writing. I also received your letter from Pueblo, and thank you very much for interest shown. Now, as to your treatment. 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 uead (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 fall- ing 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 scaip 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 cause of dandruff one ever seen. Your sham- poo and scalp treatment has cured me after hundreds of other remedies had failed. I cannot praise your remeay half enough ,and advise ail others to try them as I have, and they shall find good results if they follow ful] in structions. 1 am, yours truly, Everett S. P.

Philadelphia Pa., Nov. 13th, 1908, Mrs. Perkins: Dear Madam—By the advice of Miss Bertha Scott I am writing to you con- cerning 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 js not the least bit of improvement. And as there {s such an improvement in Miss Scott's hair (for‘her hair was in a very bad condi- tion), 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. --- THE STATESMAN.

In one year, 1907, one man, with the aid of modern railroad appliances, was able to move one ton of freight 139,960 miles, and one passenger 16,397 miles. A man with a good team of two horses and a wagon on roads better than the average American road would be doing well to haul $1\frac{1}{2}$ tons 30 miles, six days in the week, or 13,500 ton miles per year, leaving no time for passenger transportation. At this rate it would require more than ten men and 20 horses to do the freight transportation which one man does with a railroad and without any horses; and to carry the freight traffic which the railroads of this country carried last year, 17,500,000 men and 35,000,000 horses would be required, instead of the 1,672,000 men who actually not only effected the transportation of all this freight, but of all the passenger traffic also. The improvements since 1889 alone have enabled 1,672,000 men to do what in 1889 would have required 700,000 more.—Railroad Age-Gazette. Fame Born of Cookery. The naming of dishes for those who have attained a success known to all the world, in artistic or professional lines, is an honor of no mean place in a list of edibles and the names are happily met. If a dish is fine enough and has sufficient distinction to be the namesake of a great singer or actress, its reputation may endure for more than a generation. Long after the singer and her songs have ceased to delight us our menus will bear the legends, "Melba tarts" and "Melba peaches." And if "Spaghetti Warfield" and "Peaches a la Geraldine," recent inventions of a New York hotel chef, honor as they should the artists whose names they bear, those who dine and sup well 20 or 50 years hence may still rejoice in them. His Last Shot. Rev. R. J. Campbell, who contributed a solo to a recent service at the City temple, London, in order to show how a certain hymn should be sung, tells the following story of his grandfather, a strong old Puritan, stern in the cause of right, but gentle in his dealing with children and animals. His intense love and sympathy with animals was such that when he accidentally shot a robin one day—for he was a keen sportsman—he held the poor little bird in his hand while it died. Then he walked back silently to his study and hung up his gun, never to be taken down again. And he never failed, when opportunity arose, to impress upon the future pastor of the City temple the lesson of kindness to dumb creatures. The 5001b Club. A curious club has been formed in New York. It is known as the "500th Club," and its members consist of heavy-weight. The president turns the scale, it is said, at 500 pounds. The rules enact that honorary members are admitted if they weigh 450 pounds, and on attaining 500 pounds they become life members—that is, "ad vitam aut culpam," the "culpam" consisting of falling below 500 pounds. If the diminution of weight continue, the member may have to withdraw, but the 500-pounder, should he put on flesh, would be entitled to special consideration should he fall upon evil days and sink below the statutory weight, which, by the way, is about two-thirds that attained by Daniel Lambert.

Kelly, Misses Espanola and Sadie Gwynn, Rubie Irving, Minnie and Lucy Williams and Lucy Hammond gathered at a farewell festive board to Mrs. E. C. Wilson. The large paper napkins used as souvenirs will always be remembered as a sweet remembrance of those happy hours spent among friends. Mrs. Wilson left the next day for Fredericksburg, Va., where her husband is to join her later. Gilmore and Elkins will bring the smile that won't come off. East Turner hall, Jan. 5th, 1909.

BRUCE ENTERTAINS BRUCE. At one of the most peculiar events of the season, happening at the residence of Mrs. Bruce's, of Zuni street, when one son entertained the other son, both, however, being twins, the younger set of boys and girls had one of the jolliest times ever had in North Denver. It was the 21st anniversary of Calbert and Gilbert Bruce, who certainly put their whole lives into the affair. The principal features, aside from the decorations lavishly strewn around, were the new game "pin poodle," which carried with it three prizes and won respectively by Miss Marguerite Jackson, Miss Bessie Jacobs and (baby prize) A. Wayman Ward. Another new game was the game of "mistietoe blushes," in which every lady and gentleman had an active part. Eevrybody got happy and staid happy and are happy yet because of the jollity experienced and the refreshments destroyed. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. TRUE REFORMERS HAVE BIG MEETING—VALUABLE PRIZES AWARDED GREAT SUCCESS Barring whatever misunderstanding that might have arisen from the improper announcement or mistake which kept away many of the members from the union meeting Monday night, fully 110 were present to see what fountain would win the prize and what secretary the ladies' prize. The fountain having the greatest percent of their membership out was to receive the banner. The various fountains responded as follows: Colorado Enterprize, 18 members present out of 56; I Will, 5 members out of 29; Forward, 6 members out of 31; Denver, 5 members out of 23; Columbine, 2 members out of 24; Seven Falls, 8 members out of 32; Pike's Peak, 3 members out of 26; Union Rosebud, 8 members out of 29, and Capitol Hill, 1 member out of 26. The Denver Ideal, represented by Messenger A. M. Lawnorn, won the banner. The secretary who reported the best minutes of a previous meeting was to receive $2.50 in gold. The contestants were Miss Lottie Jones, of the Denver; Mrs. Fate McClain, of the Denver Ideal, and Mrs. Will Rice, of the Rosebud board. Mrs. Rice won. The minutes as a whole were the best set that has ever been presented to the union meeting. The judges were Captain Campbell, Mrs. C. A. Clark and Lawyer Ross. After announcing the "open house" at Sister Wooden's New Year, the union meeting closed with an addition of three new members. Saturday afternoon about 50 children of the Rosebud Nursery were treated to a Christmas tree at their hall on Curtis street. After the distribution of the presents a feast was in store for the children in the way of ice cream and candy. Yes, all our band needs is a nice uniform. Will you help us get it Jan. 5th, 1909. EUREKA LITERARY HAS ELECTION. The annual election of the Eureka Literary happened Tuesday night and a lively interest was manifested by those present. It took but a short time to have the election, as every one had his candidate and worked hard for their election, which resulted as follows: President, John C. Porter; first vice president, Ray Clark; second vice president, Isabelle Stewart; secretary, Catherine De Neal; treasurer, Maud Savage; journalist, A. Wayman Ward; chaplain, Rev. A. W. Ward. Never before has such a good feeling been shown and such satisfactory officers elected as the present incumbency. A vote of thanks and appreciation was given the out-going administration, which were fitly responded to by the retiring president, Raymond Clark. Greater progress, better programs and greater interest is the slogan of the incoming administration. Hear the Imperial Quartette January 5. A surprise is in store for you. BOULDER, COLO. Mrs. D.

As Reported By the National Negro Business League. A new colored drug store was opened in Chicago, November 1st, with Messrs. Miller and Jenkins as proprietors. It is stated that the Negro people have 30,000 teachers, 16,000 preachers, 1,700 physicians, 1,000 lawyers, and 400 journalists and literary men. The state of Tennessee has granted a charter to the Pythian Bank and Trust Company, of Shelby county. The capital stock is $25,000 and the headquarters will be in Memphis. What is said to be the finest Negro office building in the United States is located in the heart of Philadelphia, and is owned by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. It was built and furnished at a cost of $135,000. Miss Iva Ross of Washington, D. C., has opened a drug store in that city ; is thoroughly complete and up-to-date in every appointment. Miss Ross was formerly a kindergarten teacher, but gave up the work to enter this business. Wichita, Kansas, has a large colored population, which is prosperous and well satisfied. Many are engaged in different kinds of business pursuits, while most of them own their homes, which in many instances are quite beautiful. Hard times is seemingly an unknown quantity to the average Negro farmer of Texas; for, according to the Texas Freeman, a large number of them came into Houston last week with many bales of cotton and large quantities of country produce, such as dressed hogs, sweet potatoes, butter, chickens, eggs, etc. Allensworth, California, is a new Negro town already surveyed. It is now being populated and built up by a Negro company in honor of whose president, Col. Allensworth, the town is named. The site of the new town is on the main line of the Santa Fe railroad and seven miles west of the Southern Pacific at a point half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco and in one of the most fertile parts of San Joaquin valley. According to the Washington City Bee, the local Negro Business League is arranging for a banquet of the Negro business men to take place some time during the holiday season. It is the intention and hope that this banquet will be one of the largest and most representative of its kind, that has ever taken place in the district. The main object in holding this and other banquets contemplated, is for the purpose of bringing the larger business men in closer touch with each other. Mr. W. Sidney Pittman, the archtect, is president of the local Negro Business League. President Roosevelt has given a formal order to the secretary of war directing that as soon as vacancies occur in the position of bandmaster in the colored regiments in the United States army, competent colored musicians shall be appointed. In order that no injustice may be done by the displacement of any white musician now in charge of colored bands, it is directed that these men be transferred to white regiments wherever vacancies are made in the natural course of events, thus making an opening for the colored landmaster. We have now one full-fledged colored bandmaster—Elbert Williams, formerly leader of the band at Tuskegee Institute—now stationed with the 25th Infantry in the Philippines. Colored men have acted as chief musician in all of the colored regiments in the temporary absence of the white chief, and have in every case given satisfaction. It is regarded as only fair that colored musicians, well versed in their calling be given a chance to prove their mental and reap the benefit accruing from their high grade equipment. In connection it may be stated that Valentine Buckries (white), late chief musician of the 26th Infantry, likewise white, has been retired by his own request, and Chief Musician W. O. Thompson, for many years attached to the 24th Infantry has been sent to the Philippines to take his place. The vacancy thus occurring in the 24th regiment, now at Madison Barracks, New York, will shortly be filled by a colored chief, in keeping with the order of the President. Among those mentioned for the position is Alexander Sewall, formerly of the United States Navy, conductor of a band in this city, who is highly recommended by musicians of the highest standing. The entire credit for the inauguration of this generous policy on the part of the administration—beginning during the incumbency of Judge Taft as Secretary of War, belongs to Emmett J. Scott, the enterprising and resourceful secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington. In a short time we hope to be able to tell the story in full. By direction of the War Department, General Leonard Wood, commander in the department of the East, at New York, has ordered that one company of the 24th Infantry at Madison Barracks, N. Y., be sent to New York City to participate in the great parade and exercises to be held there on the first of January, under the auspices of the Lincoln Emancipation association of Brooklyn. The movement for this emancipation celebration grew out of the activity of George E. Wibecan, of the Postomice Department and a political leader of much prominence in Kings County. The orator of the day will be Hon-William Tecumseh Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury. Later in the season, Dr. Vernon will speak in Cleveland, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. The bill you will see on Jan. 5th is as good and clean and much faster than you have seen in any theater in a year. Given the Mitten. One cold day a lovesick young man, who had for some time harassed a young lady with his attentions, was hurrying along the street behind this very young lady when he perceived, with delight, something drop from her muff to the sidewalk. Picking it up, the gallant young man rushed ahead and, accosting her, smilingly held out her recovered property. Without deigning to accept it, she eyed him coldly a moment, then said: "You may keep it; it's my mitten." Bad Scoring. "Yes, he's one of the worst marksmen I ever met."

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.

"Do women dress to please men?" asks a fashion writer. Partly, and partly to make other women green with envy. China Not for Dissection. To the European nations which participated in the grisly Boxer carnival, that event has proved also somewhat of an awakening. The tendency to treat China as a corpse waiting for dissection has almost passed away. The disposition to recognize in the Chinese people rights other than that of buying western print goods and illuminating oil, is perceptibly growing. China's new infant emperor will probably attain a ripe old age before the much-talked-of national "awakening" is complete, but the situation in the far east to-day indicates that China will, at least, be given a chance. Just a Gentle Hint. Lowry is a man with a moderate income and one child, whom he is already sending to a French master, who is accustomed to be paid every Monday. Recently Lowry sent Henry to his lesson without the usual bank note. That evening the father looked over the boy's exercise, and this is what he found Henry doing his best to put into Parisian French: "I have no money. The week is up. Have you no money? Has your father no money? I need money. What is the day of the week? The day of the week is Monday. Does your father know the day of the week?" Experiment Station on Guam. Guam, which is one of the most uninviting of our possessions, will be equipped with an experimental station through the means of which its resources will be investigated and encouraged. Dr. W. H.

Southern Mountaineers a Delight to the Antiguarian. The antiquarian finds endless interest in the British survivals among the people of the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky mountains, which are readily traced when one begins an intelligent search. Here is the pattern in a "bed kiver" which you have seen, perhaps, in English tapestry, and which must have been transmitted from mother to daughter for two or more centuries. Here is a snatch of song that you will not easily find in a book, but which harks back to circumstances of English town life quite remote from the experience of the singer. Prof. Shaler of Harvard once found a man in Wise county, Virginia, hunting with an English cross bow! Of course he owned a rifle, as well, but powder was hard to get, and he had not lost the tradition of the art by which the cross bow had been made famous among his British forbears. We say British because the Scotch and English strains are everywhere mingled in the mountains. The traveler stopping at a lonely cottage may hear the mother quiet an unruly child by saying: "Behave now, son, or Clavers will get you!" It is doubtful whether the woman knows anything of the bogey she thus conjures up to "hand the wretch in order," but she is really referring to Claverhouse, the Scotch rough rider who harried the Covenants in ancient days!—Berea Quarterly.

Mr. Philanthropist was passing a bakery, when he observed a little girl gazing with longing eyes at some cakes displayed in the window. The youngster's wistful gaze was too much for Mr. Philapthropist, so he took immediate measures to satisfy her longing. When she had in short order disposed of a rich bit of pastry she calmly asked for another. "I should like very much to give you another," said the kindly man, "but I'm afraid it would make you sick." 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. "Get it for me, anyway," quickly responded the little girl. "I can git all the med-cine I need at the dispensary for nuthin'." The Secret of Happiness. The moment we set about the task of making every human being we come in contact with better for knowing us—more cheerful, more courageous, and with greater faith in the kindness of God and man—that moment we begin to attain the third purpose of life—personal happiness. Would you possess the magic secret of the alchemist which transforms all things to gold? It is unselfishness—or, to use a better word, selflessness. He who goes forth bent upon being always kind, always helpful, in the little daily events of life, will find all skies tinted with gold, all his nights set with stars, and unexpected flowers of pleasure springing up in his pathway. And all his tears shall turn into smiles. We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with ```markdown ``` Indictment of Flat Life. In proportion as flat life increases home life decreases.

The Why. There is a belief that if you hang a bright, pretty picture in your room, and look at it earnestly every night and morning, your face will grow to resemble the one in the frame.

Is it not strange, remembering the "bloom" that followed his introduction to English audiences, that Ibsen already is so entirely "laid on the shelf?"

Panama hats are made in Columbia, Peru, and Ecuador, but never in Panama. The value of a Panama hat is chiefly the cost of the labor expended in making it, for the value of the raw material never exceeds 35 cents, and averages less than 13 cents. Secretive British Diplomacy. The secrecy of diplomacy is carried to much greater lengths in England than in most European countries. Not only are statements in parliament fewer, but they are much less frank than they are in Germany or in France. Manchester Guardian. Praiseworthy Plodders.

New Yorkers Fond of Theater. Theater managers estimate that there are about 11,000 theater attendants in New York city who attend at least one performance each week throughout the season. Nor Any Other Kind. Employer—"When you went to collect that bill from Mr. Tightwad, did he answer you with acrimony?" Office Boy—"No, sir; he didn't give me any kind o' money." Stevenson's Comment. It is related that when Stevenson was told of the death of Matthew Arnold he paused; then said, dubiously: "He won't like God!" Qualint Old Pepya. There were worse errors than the matinee hat for the man who sat behind a woman in the seventeenth century theater. Pepys wrote that January 28, 1661, he saw "The Lost Lady" for the second time. Nine days earlier that play had not pleased him much—partly, perhaps, because he was "troubled to be seen by four of our office clerks, which sat in the half-crown box, and I in the 1s, 6d." But on the second occasion the play did "please me better than before; and here, I sitting behind in a dark place, a lady spit backward upon me by a mistake, not seeing me." However, it was all right, for, "after seeing her to be a very pretty lady, I was not troubled at it at all." Unsatisfactory Experiment. There is a couple in Atchison known to be engaged to be married. The man was recently called out of town on an important business trip, and no sooner reached his destination, 500 miles away, than he received a telegram from his girl to return at once. He did so and found she had sent the telegram to "try" him, to see if he would "do anything" for her, as he had claimed. She is satisfied now that he loves her, but he isn't quite satisfied when he thinks of the worry and expense that he was put to, and will ask to be released from the engagement.—Atchison Globe. Historical Relic. The visitors in the historical museum gazed curiously at a small feather pillow which nestled in a glass case.

Some readings recommended to the readers of The Statesman: "Fire From Heaven," "Spiritual Unrest," in December's American Magazine. In January magazine, "Intellectual American Woman's Letter to the American Negro" in care of W. E. DuBois, and the Literary Digest of December 26, containing the expressions of the "Negro Press on Mr. Taft's Speech," in which Franklin's paper is quoted quite at length. It does the editor of The Statesman, who is now east visiting, a distinguished honor to be so seriously considered in the nation's affairs. In the same digest, Professor Kelly Miller's "Achievement of Negro Education" is given a wide mention, and it is a literary production of much merit. EMMANUEL MOVEMENT. The Statesman invites its readers' attention to the study and investigation of the Emmanuel Movement, which is a study and religious practice of mental and spiritual cure and healing of various diseases. Dr. Reisner, of Grace M. E. Church, only last Sunday had a sermon on this movement which Ray Stannard Baker had in the American Magazine. The movement has such men associated with it as Dr. Worcester, a graduate of Columbia University, and a graduate under Wundt and Fechner, of Germany, and who has been a professor of philosophy at Lehigh University for several years, and Dr. Samuel McComb, a graduate of Oxford, England, and who holds a D.D. from Glasgow, where degrees mean much; also Dr. Isador H. Coriat, a skilled physician, one of the best practitioners in Boston. Christian science has accomplished wonderful things; we dare not nor must we deny it, yet only well-trained brain specialists should and can handle successfully the brain structure and set themselves up as teachers. It is impossible to go to school a few months or weeks and then be equipped. Dr. Worcester has endeavored to understand the soul and mind of the ordinary man. The body must be looked after just as either of the other two. Here are some of the cases in the Emmanuel Church, which gets its name from the Episcopal of that name in Boston. Alcoholism, depression, hysteria, insomnia, locomotor ataxia, neurasthenia, morphinism, indigestion, insane. PAGE. 8. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO Thirty-seven different ailments, making up 661 cases as mentioned as cured. Dr. Pratt decided to try to treat tuberculosis patients with this method and with the assistance of the regular and modern methods; 75 per cent of the patients got well. Yet with all of this mental and spiritual treatment and training, the old-fashioned religious fact that Christ's Gospel of life must help man in his troubles here. It seems we are getting individually more and more into that life. CHEAPNESS OF HUMAN LIFE. With the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser advocating that all white men who hang Negroes should themselves be hanged as well as the Negroes who use too freely a gun, should have the same punishment meted out to them; with the thoughtful men of the South heartily endorsing the editorial of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, under the title "Shooting Negroes in the South Must be Stopped." The editorial was the consequence of that revolting killing of three Negroes and probably fatally wounding of two others by a Tennessean who colly walking into a negro pool hall and wantonly fired into the crowd, and this with the appalling aftermath of Christmas homicides is only a new proof that the instilling of a higher regard for the value of human life is one of the many educational needs, not only for the Negro, but for the whole country. That human life is cheaper in the South than in any other part of the country is backed up by statistics. Think of a state like Kentucky, with twenty-four murders in twenty-four hours on Xmas day! The Negro came in for his portion of that kind of celebration, too, and the lesson taught is that the man or woman who carries a life destroyer ought to be severely dealt with by the law. In Texas a very heavy tax has diminished the free use of firearms, which figure so conspicuously in unpremeditated murders. The elimination of the irresponsible individual with the sagging pistol pocket is the first step in raising the value of human life in this country, whether black or white. The white man who kills a Negro will kill a white man, and the Negro who kills another Negro will be found some day killing a white man, because of his utter disregard for human life. Murder is murder, and public sentiment demands that all of this wanton destruction of human life must go and that before many more such long records of homicides which have occurred recently.

Last Monday night the Misses Clark of Denver were the recipients of one of the swellest and daintiest receptions given by anyone at any time in Colorado. It was at their relatives, Mrs. Powell's, lovely residence, and the notables present were Misses Tesita Roberts, Golden Smith, Della and Ethei Clark of Denver. It is told that Miss Clark may make her home in Colorado Springs. In Colorado Springs there is a club which was formed to have a good Xmas greeting, and known as the "Revolving Reception Awakers." Their different evening outs are at the different members' houses, starting and rotating in alphabetical order. Swell times were had at the residences of Mrs. Geo. Hatch, Mrs. Rosa Moore's, Kate Lee's and Josephine Lewis'. Dutch lunches, Welsh rarebits and lobster "a la Neuberg" has been the night bill of fare, after which dancing to an early hour was joyously indulged in.

Earl, which was so highly decorated with such beautiful green wreaths of evergreens, with large green ferns and massive lots of mistletoe hung all around the house. The beautifully shaded green and blue lights to be contrasted with the lighting of the intermittent red and green lights made the place not only appear lovely, but was quite suggestive of "spooniness." Slow music, graceful dancing, card playing and other amusing games featured the evening with joy, frolic and happiness. Light punch was served by a blushing damsel whose face was aglow with smiles, while the refreshment table was looked after by the hostess' mother. The following were present: Misses Mabel Hall, Edna Hall, Richiana Richards (late of Europe), Mabelle Reese of Memphis, Tenn.; Edith Earl, Myrtle and Birdie Earl, together with Messrs. W. French of St. Paul, Willie Johnson, Dyson White, Clarence Howell, Alva Connell, W. E. Benjamin, Editor Fred Roberts and Lawyer Ross of Denver. Mrs. Shrader of Washington, D. C., was also one of the chaperones. Mistletoe and its suggestions were carried out by letter, act and deed. The merry crowd reluctantly went home, declaring this social event to be the best yet given this year.
