FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE FAULT IS MOSTLY OURS TWENTIETH YEAR THE FAULT MOS OUTY COMES FIRST THEN COMES COMPLAINT. Denver affords too little work for Negroes for us to pass over without comment some setbacks which we have received here of late. First of all comes the dismissal of thee colored bell crew at the Albany hotel. Only a year ago when they were put on, we said they should remember that they were the hope of the colored hotel employees, and that if they made good, they would be an entering wedge for waiters. While the air is full of rumors concerning the reason of their dismissal, whatever may be the cause, the result is the same. No other hotel will be encouraged to try colored help, when they do not make good in one. It requires no exceptional foresight for Negroes to know that they must render a superior service in order to be employed. Then, too, they must be steadier than whites, for our small numbers precludes quick substitution of new hands for old ones. It was recorded in these columns of the Albany boys that after only a few weeks of service the whole crew was demoralized one day because a part of them stayed out the night before to a frolic and cared so little for their employer's interests that they did not make time. Right here lies the crux of the race problem. We grant prejudice on the part of the whites, but we seriously question if much would remain, if we were superior in our competition. And we know that so long as we are inferior in our competition, our case is hopeless, and we had as well be turned down because we are black, as because we will not compete. If the whole Negro race could be brought to realize that service must precede reward, that the accident of color is no excuse for failure, the race problem would be four-fifths settled. We then come to the loss of the county places held under Republicans. After investigation we can say unreservedly that the clerkship in the as- --- sessor's office and the guard at the jail under the sheriff are lost, without an adequate effort having been made upon our part to retain them. By this we do not mean that the race is undeserving at the hands of the Republican party, or that we have no reason to complain, but we do mean that our own neglect has contributed to the general bad result. The appointments this year were made through certain channels that political workers had a right to know of. Negroes could not go into office by any other route than the one taken by white appointees. Yet up to the time when the editor of this paper began his investigation, no one had been over the route, or at least this was the statement made to him by one who was in a position to know. At the time of writing this article, indignation is running high in some quarters over the slight to colored Republicans. Now we ask why under the sun and starry heaven, half of this energy was not expended before, when there was time and opportunity of doing something? The matter sums right up to what honesty compels us to admit, that the race is long on hind-sight and short on fore-sight. We know better, we wish to do better, but we lack that energizing force that makes us try to do better along the lines of common sense. The lack of foresight on the part of job seekers and politicians has cost the colored people their representation in this county wherein we are a goodly factor in Republican success. And so it goes on. Unchanged by bitter experiences, the race blunders again and again in the same old way. White pioneers in Colorado gambled in mining stocks in early days, and now ride in their automobiles, using us for footmen. They homesteaded on the great American desert, and created out of it the wonderful farm lands of the Arkansas valley, the valley of the Grand, and the Greeley district; they bought Denver property and farmed on it where now magnifi- cent buildings rear themselves skyward. Negroes of the early days made of their earnings no advantageous use the same as we do now, they could not be tempted out on the farms even if they were a government gift; they spent their money freely and paid rent—and they are still at it. Now they complain property is too high to buy. It used to be too cheap to be worth buying. It is well said that whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. This will come true literally if we do not become foresighted! If we will not make use of what opportunities we have, larger ones will not open up, and we will lose what we have. Rights that are not worth fighting for are not rightfully ours. If we will not go into the world of trade and give honest service as cheap or cheaper than the next man, if we will not go into politics with as much foresight and brains as the next man, we deserve to lose! There is no Blucher to save this battle for us. We are our own salvation and must win or perish. Don't cry, don't complain. Stand up and fight with your wits, with your hands and with your money.

It never rains but it pours. Only last week there appeared in public print the announcement that Dennis D. Cole, the former pastor of the People's Presbyterian church, had been expelled from Masonry. Now we are able to state upon the authority of one of the officers of the church that his resignation from the pastorate was not voluntarily, but he would have had the doors of it locked against him if he persisted in his declaration that he would preach there. Furthermore, to make sure of the departure of the unwelcome guest, three influential officers of the church lodged a complaint with the chairman of the Home Mission Board, who is Rev. Williams, pastor of the Hyde Park church, and were given the glad news that Cole had reached the end of his rope and that on the very night of their visit he would either have to hand in his resignation or answer to charges. So it is that reports of Cole's voluntary resignation give him credit beyond the facts. He quit because he had to. Misappropriation of church funds is laid at his door by the officers and individuals in the community add charges as varied as the coat of many colors. The whole of his political career, weakness for intoxicating liquors, general irresponsibility and carelessness with other people's money, failure to live up to ordinary business honesty, all furnish charges from one and another source. We are further informed that the claim of Cole that he has a charge offered him elsewhere is a creation of his own imagination, and he will not be foisted upon any other church by the Presbytery now that he is known for what he is. There is, however, some need of his leaving the city, and he may be preparing his get-away, for a few days since a serving officer was scouring the city to serve a warrant upon him, and the fear that he may spend his days in jail may be urging him to cut short his enjoyment of Rocky mountain scenery and snow water. It is said of one of the ancient dynasties, that even in the days of feasting there was a gloomy personage in Continued on page eight Has Made Quartz Fusible. It is not so long ago that the textbooks on minerals used to describe quartz as "infusible." The electric furnace has made this an error, and now some manufacturers of chemical devices devote special catalogues to apparatus made of this substance. There are two grades on the market—the transparent kind, made from rock crystal and looking almost precisely like ordinary glass, and the cheaper translucent variety, made of common silica, and sometimes called in the trade "electroquartz." Both kinds are valuable in the chemical laboratory, because vessels made of either resist all acids but hydrofluoric, and cannot be cracked by the change of temperature, however violent. Quartz is useful also for its insulating properties, which are nearly perfect. Gamble for Maids. "Many queer reasons are advanced by servant girls for losing a place," said the manager of the employment bureau, "but the queerest I have ever heard was given by a girl who blew in here last week. Her late mistress was a bridge fiend. One day for the want of money to bet, she and her friends played with their maids for stakes. At the end of the game each woman considered herself in honor bound to stick to her agreement, and an attempt was really made to swap servants according to the ups and downs of the game. Some of the girls thus raffled off changed places willingly enough, but that client of mine refused to be swapped, and hustled around hunting a new job."—New York Sun. A Cargo of Cats. Japan, it seems, is infested with rats, and the reason is explained by a Paris contemporary, viz., that the Japanese cats, which are not prolific, are pampered to an extraordinary degree. During the last few days, the chronicler proceeds, a ship has left one of the principal German ports with 5,000 cats on board. These on arrival are to be settled in the various maritime towns of the mikado's dominions, and we further learn that the present consignment of cats is to be followed by four others, each of 5,000. The name of the principal German port is not given.—London Globe. Milk Preservation. A German patent specification describes a process for preserving milk by removing all dissolved oxygen by means of the addition of a small quantity of ferrous carbonate. The process is based on the fact that freshly precipitated ferrous carbonate in the presence of oxygen immediately assimilates oxygen and evolves an equivalent of carbon dioxide. One part of ferrous carbonate is sufficient for 50,000 parts of milk, and the properties of the milk are not altered in any way by the addition, which should be made before the milk is boiled. Problem Baffles Scientists. There has been an offer of many thousand dollars, standing for over 150 years, in the name of a great company in London, for anything that will dissolve fogs by the penetration of a created light. The money has never been earned by any inventor yet. Fog still persists, increasing the tax of commerce in proportion as the volume of commerce multiplies. The man who can clear the ship channel of New York harbor from fog, even for a few hours at a time, will be hailed as the wonder of the age. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Birds Drive Australian Glutton from the Bush. Prof. Drummond, the well known New Zealand naturalist, has been compiling some further notes with regard to the voracious habits of the long-talked cuckoo of Maoriland. He has recently received a photograph, taken by G. Buddle of Auckland, of a long-tailed cuckoo that had half swallowed a fairly large lizard, and had been nearly choked by its effort. The lizard went down head first, but its fore limbs prevented the bird from taking in the whole body, and the reptile stuck in the cuckoo's bill until it was rescued. Mr. Buddle took a photograph of the bird with the lizard in its bill, and another one after the lizard had been removed, and in the latter picture the look of rage and disappointment is very strongly marked. A. Burrows of West Oxford, North Canterbury, tells the professor that in the crop of a long-tailed cuckoo he found two young goldfinches, two large lizards and several beetles. The goldfinches were fledged and had been swallowed whole. These bad habits of the cuckoo, says Mr. Drummond, are strongly reprobated by more decent birds, the tuis and others chasing the marauder out of the bush whenever they get a chance. LIKE THE LION AND THE LAMB. Fierce Animal Fraternized with Man Who Fed Cubs. A man living in Morocco went out one day to shoot lions. He went deep into the forest looking for wild beasts, when he saw two lion cubs that came right up to him to be caressed. The hunter, who knew no fear, sat down to fondle the cubs, and while waiting for the big lion to come along he opened his lunch box and shared its contents with the animals. Quite unperceived, the "king of the forest" came upon the scene, and watched the trio lunching. He silently crept away, and after awhile returned with a sheep, which he laid at the huntsman's feet. The Moor skinned the sheep, gave the entrails to the cubs, and, lighting some wood, roasted the sheep for his lunch. All the while the lion showed no signs of ferocity, for he respected the man who fed his young. The four seemed a happy family there in the heart of the forest, and when the man came to take his leave he stroked the cubs an affectionate good-by, while the big lion accompanied him until he was safely out of the woods.—Exchange. He Liked Chicken. But— It was in a crowded subway train, says the New York Press. The Saturday afternoon matinee-goers filled the cars, and as a small tidal wave of femininity swept along, one was borne on its crest who was attired as Solomon never was. If her costume was striking, however, her headgear was appalling with its burden of plumes and ribbon. A meek, mouse-like man read a paper beside her, and as she turned her head from side to side her long plumes tickled his ear and brushed his mouth. He stood it as long as he could, but when a sudden toss of her head drew an exasperating feathery fringe sharply across his lips he folded up his paper in disgust. "Madam," he said, witheringly, "I like chicken, but not the feathers!" TIMOTHY WAS READY FOR HIM. Driver's Glib Explanation that Disarmed the Inspector. John D. Rockefeller, at the end of a day's testimony in the government suit against the Standard Oil Company, talked to a group of reporters. The subject of quick-wittedness came up, and Mr. Rockefeller said: "As quick-witted a man as I ever knew was one of our drivers—Timothy back in the business' early days. "We liked to keep our teams looking nice, and so we instituted an annual prize for the man who could show the best-groomed horses, the cleanest stalls, the brightest harness and so forth. "Timothy seemed certain of this prize, and when midyear inspection time came sure enough his splendid work left nothing to be desired. "But as the inspector took one last look round, just as he had made up his mind to give the prize to Timothy, he frowned, for his eye had fallen on a cobweb in a corner of the gray mare's stall. "Timothy say the inspector's face change, and saw the cause of the change, and he spoke up briskly: "I keep that there web there, boss,' he said, 'to catch the flies. The way they torment the mare is sumpin' fierce." LEFT BEHIND BY THE GUESTS. Razor Strop Most Frequent Article Forgotten at Hotels. "Of the thousand and eight things left at hotels from time to time," remarked the hotel clerk, "razor strops have the other commodities pushed across the border in point of numbers. About ten per cent. of the people who have razor strops in their grips leave them behind. Of course, the reason is that the strop is hanging up on a nail out of sight somewhere when the man packs up, and he doesn't think about it. His comb and brush are right on the dresser before him, and that's easy. "Next to razor strops, though not hustling the strops for position, come the nighties of both genders. A good many send back after them, but a lot more people who leave them behind just abandon them. After so long we give them to charitable institutions. Then there are tooth brushes, slippers, combs, curling irons, soap boxes, clothes brushes and a list of other things left behind longer than an expense account every month. People are just that forgetful." Odd Incident of New Year's Eve. You never can tell what is in a man's heart. On New Year's eve a rollicking party went to a cafe which overlooks the Hudson. They were primed for noise. They created so much of it that their company was not desirable and they were informed politely that the table at which they sat had been engaged previously. They took the hint and got out. As they were leaving they purchased all the flowers they could and hurried their car along the drive until they reached a solitary grave about which so much has been written. They laid the flowers on the grave of "An Amiable Child" and returned to their car. Then they resumed their shouting and made the atmosphere resound with song and shout.—New York Press. PAGE. 10. Pretty Women. "Every time I wait on an unusually good-looking, well-dressed woman." said the girl behind the counter, "some one steps up the minute she leaves the counter and asks who she is. I suppose in most cases the curiosity is entirely harmless. Maybe the inquirers simply have a passion for spotting rich or famous people. Judging by the appearance of my customer they suppose her to be rich or famous or both, and they appeal to me for information. Naturally I can't give them any. Very often I really do not know who my stylish customers are, and even if I do know it isn't my place to set curious busybodies on their track." Charybdis. Charybdis, in Greek mythology, is a sea monster which three times a day sucks in the sea and discharges it in a whirlpool. It was depicted as a maiden above, but ending below in the body of a fish begirt with hideous dogs. Opposite her was the other monster, Scylla. In later times they were placed in the Straits of Messina, Scylla being identified with a projecting rock on the Italian side. The recent earthquake is believed to have changed the position of the famous whirlpool. Sworn Off. Upon the stars my eyes I fix, at this, the threshold of the year, I've cut out all the foolish tricks that used to mar my bright career. I've sold my big steam yacht—the one in which I loafed on many seas; and I shall find some other fun than dancing through the ocean breeze. My racing stables I have sold, my cellars of imported wine, my treasured plate of heavy gold—the simple life for me and mine! I fired the butler yesterday, the footmen have a fortnight's grace; the coachman also gets his pay, and goes to hunt another place. A trifling sum in ready cash will well supply my humble needs; for meals, some beans and corned beef hash, my couch a burrow in the weeds—Emporia Gazette. Fillmore's Papers. President Millard Fillmore's voluminous papers, covering the period immediately preceding the civil war, have been given to the Buffalo Historical society, says a Buffalo dispatch. In the will of the late Millard Powers Fillmore, son of the president, was the following specification: "At the earliest practicable moment burn or otherwise destroy effectively all correspondence of letters to or from my father, mother, sister or me." Out of the Ordinary. "I'm going to have some photographs taken, John," said the wife of his bosom the other morning. "Have you any preferences as to the position?" "Well," rejoined the husband of his wife, "if you were to pose before the camera while in the act of sewing a button on my trousers it would make a picture that I could contemplate with pleasurable emotion." Would Be Rise for Turkey Should the plan of Sir William Willcocks ever materialize he proposes to irrigate the fertile plains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and make them as productive as they were when Babyon and Nineveh where at the height of their power—it is believed that Turkey would become one of the greatest cotton and grain countries in the world. Women Make Good Mayors. America had women as mayors be. fore England, Australia or even New Zealand. In the four states where women have full suffrage it ia not rare for women to be elected as mayors in small cities and give gocd service. A woman was mayor of Gaylor, Kan. for two terms and declined a third election. She prided herself on the fact that more miles of sidewalk were Jaid in her administration than in that of any previous mayor. Her husband always expressed himself as pleased that she should hold the office, and even her worst enemies never said that she neglected her children or the duties of her household. The office kept her busy about an hour each day. Social Reform in Germany. In the history of social reform there is no piece of work more remark- eble than the system of almost uni versal insurance’ for the working classes in Germany, which was in augurated by Bismarck a little more than twenty years ago. Provision is made by it for sickness and accident, and for permanent disability arising from either of these causes or from old age; and its importance to Ger- many itself is shown by the fact that in 1901, out of a total population of 57,730,000, over “en millions of work- people were insured against sickness, over seventeen and a half millions against accident, and nearly thirteen and a half millions against disability arising from {ll health or old age. Wood Pipes Preferable. Wood pipes are better than iron pipes for carrying water supply, ac- cording to a report issued by the United States forestry bureau. It says that timber saturated with water and protected from outside influences Is practically everlasting. There is a line of two miles of wood pipe at Fay- etteville, N. C., laid in 1829, which is sound and In constant use at the pres- ent time. Wood pipes cost only one- quarter as much as cast fron and one- half as much as ateel, they have greater discharging capacity, they are not affected by electrolysis and they are poor conductors of heat, thus keeping the water cooler in summer and warmer in winter,* “Dime Novel Days.” Marathon mad! When a mere child 1 read a story—I think it was a dime novel—about an Indian runner; prob- ably a ten-cent Beadle; among the tirst of the ten-centers, and far more wholesome than the salacious ten-cent- ers of the present day of eroticism. The winning of the west was due largely to the dime novel. I never read one that did not tend to enlarge & boy's love of outdoor sport and clean adventure. There was nothing that could not be read at the family fire- side. Yet some one started a crusade against the dime novel, and after 20 years {t was partly eradicated—that is, it was forced to give way to the cheap tales of city dens and dives.— New York Press. 1 Health In Windy City. Dr. Evans, the health commissioner of Chicago, presents no very pretty picture of the attractions of the Windy City. “Tuberculosis, bronchitis and kindred ailments are ravaging the city,” he said in a recent address.

According to the investigations of Dr. Deniker, well known for his an- thropologic studies, the influences of city life tend toward a decrease of human stature. It is away from the large cities that the beneficent effects of the general amelioration of social conditions and improvements in hy- giene of modern times most clearly manifest themselves by distinct in- crease of stature. This increase has been marked among several of the European races during the last half century. Where the people are sub- jected to urban influences the gain is less notable. Dancing Girl Now Ruler’s Wife. Paris is at present interested in the maharajah of Kapurthala, who is there with his wife, whom he first met in Madrid as a dancing girl. Anita Delgado was graceful and beautiful, and the maharajah lost no time in win- ning her regard. He took her to Paris to be trained for the position she was to occupy, and she developed into a handsome woman of dignity and pres- ence. Later he carried her to his home in India, and last winter mar- ried her with Oriental ceremony.

Rockefeller's pastor, was praising the perseverance of the suffragettes, who, he said, "stood ready to undergo imprisonment and to sacrifice their lives to right what they decided an intolerable wrong." Then, with a smile, Dr. Aked resumed: "It is amazing what perseverance will achieve. Even misdirected perseverance has achieved marvels. There is the case of Robson, the great Notts cricketer. "Robson, during his Australian tour, was determined, one scorching afternoon, that his side shouldn't do the hard work of fielding. "Well, when the Australian captain spun the coin, Robson shouted: "'Woman!' "Then, seeing that heads lay uppermost instead of acknowledging defeat Robson said, with perseverance and nonchalance. "'Well, we'll go in.' "'But—er—I thought,' said the puzzled Australian—'you see, I don't quite know the English meaning of "woman."' "Then,' said Robson gallantly, 'we'll toss again." "The Australian made a second toss, Robson called heads, and tails came up. The ordinary man would at this point have surrendered in despair, but not so Robson. "'Honors are now easy,' said he, with a pleasant smile. 'On with the rubber.' "The Australian a third time flipped the coin, and having at last called the toss correctly, the persevering Robson led his side to the shady benches." CALCULATING PRICE OF HEAT.

Tallis hors, pronounced tally-ho—Norman French for "out of the thicket"—was the proper cry when the fox broke cover. The huntsman and the master of the fox hounds answered the cry wtih long blasts of the horn. Then, when public coaches began to run, their horns blew the tally-ho blasts; further as luxury progressed, finer coaches often took to the meet and the throwing off, fine people who did not intend to follow the hounds, but to see them spectacularly. Between use and luxury, the coach with seats on top crystallized as the tally-ho. The tally-ho it is likely to remain unless all the world should go automobile mad. Fine Finish. The man who writes thrilling melodramas rushed into the manager's office in a state of great excitement. "I've got it!" he shouted, triumphantly. "I've got it!" "Got what!" asked the surprised manager. "Why, the sensation of the year. In the third act of my new play there is a mill scene. Harold Headlight, the hero, casts the villain down into the yawning jaws of two great emery wheels." The manager grinned. "Emery wheels!" he chuckled. "Then, I suppose, he has a fine finish?" "Yes, very fine. In fact, he comes out a polished villain." Automobi J. H. GA Phone Phone Main 3726. Q. J. G Undertaker a Poor Man! The captain had been tortured with a million questions about everything between heaven and earth. He bore it all heroically and patiently. The names of towns they passed, the number of passengers on board; the size of his family; how much his salary; dangers, storms, etc. One of the Ladies—How long have you been in charge here, captain? Captain—Not so very long, madam; only two years. Lady—Indeed? And why did the former captain leave? Captain—He died, madam. Lady—How sad; and what did he die of? Captain—He was talked to death by the ladies.—Judge. Hush Money. There are a number of singers belonging to the Metropolitan Opera House Company, who, although they are retained merely for cases of emergency, are nevertheless guaranteed a certain amount of pay. Thus, supposing that their price per performance is $500 they each get, say, $5,000 for the season, even if they do not sing at all. Some wag at the opera house has invented a most appropriate name for the salaries paid out to these silent song birds. He calls it "hush money."—New York Times. Economizing His Syllables. "When I was in Mexico," said the commercial traveler, "I met an Italian who had the fashion of economizing on his words. Whenever he could he clipped them half in two. The result was often amusing.

Brocdy, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, has been losing health and strength so fast of late that he has decided to go to the Old Soldiers' Home in Santa Monica, Cal. We regret to lose the presence of Mr. Brody, as he has been a most desirable citizen. Mrs. T. K. Lowers and Mrs. Addie Robinson left last week for Belene, N. M., where they will take charge of the Belene hotel. The Mite Missionary Society and auxiliary to the A. M. E. church, gave one of the swellest concerts that has been given in the city for some time. The duet by Mrs. L. S. Black and Mr. W. T. Thornton and the recitation by Miss Rachel Lott were exceptionally good. Mrs. Washington, wife of Rev. Washington and president of the organization, in her opening address gave some very good thoughts for the future welfare of the society. Mr. and Mrs. Williams, the aged parents of Mrs. A. B. Montgomery, left last week for their home in Topeka, Kan. Their presence will be missed by the A. M. E. church congregation, as they were active Christian workers. Mrs. L. S. Black again resumes management of the A. M. E. church choir with fifteen good singers, which is a great improvement to the church. Her services are being appreciated by the entire congregation. It is noticed that the choir is growing better and giving better service, as it continues to grow older. Our territorial legislature is now in session and it is hoped that the next legislature will be as a state and not a territory. W. H. Kerr of Santa Fe was appointed sergeant-at-arms at $6 a day. Geo. Harris of Albuquerque, with a large number of endorsements of some of our most prominent Republicans, met the legislature looking for pie from the pie counter, but the pie had all been served before Mr. Harris arrived Saturday. We admire his ambition. He was a faithful worker to the Republican success, and our advice to him is to start earlier next time and get there before the pie is all served. The Literary Society, with Miss Valley Slaughter as president and Miss Anna Joseph secretary, is doing nicely and drawing large crowds every Friday evening. Interest is growing at each meeting. The debate on last meeting concerned the future greatness of the women over the men. The women got busy and indeed made it hard for the men to win, but through many struggles the men finally came out of the scrap victorious but with many scars as evidence of a hard fight. The musical part of the program was fine. Debate next Friday eve. Come and have a good time. Refreshments served after the rendition of the program. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Mrs. James Washington started an art club composed of children whose ages range from 6 to 10 years, and it is a beautiful sight to note the efforts of these little folks in learning how to sew and do lace work and other work with the needle. Mrs. Washington is to be commended for the interest she is taking with the children. The 9-year-old girl of Henry Winsted died of scarlet fever last week. This disease is proving fatal to some of the members of our most prominent families. Leland Washington, son of Rev. Washington, is a new arival from Phoenix, Ariz. E. T. Ellsworth is reported very sick at this writing. WILL SPEND TIME IN KITCHEN. Interview with Cook Led to Woman's Change of Heart. "I had an interview with my cook to-day which has made me rather thoughtful," said a prominent club woman and philanthropist. "Some time ago I engaged a very capable woman as cook, but since I engaged her it has happened that I have been away from home a good deal, attending meetings of various organizations in which I am interested. My communications with the cook, therefore, have been confined to hurried conversations through speaking tube or messages transmitted through the housemaid. To-day, however, something she served not being to my liking, I thought it time to let her know I was the mistress of the house, and I went down stairs to interview her. "And who may you be?" she demanded, standing with arms akimbo as she eyed me from head to foot. "Why, I am the mistress of the house—the person who engaged you," I replied, somewhat taken aback. "Oh, sure, so ye are, but I've never seen ye from that day to this and I'd forgot what ye looked like. Now, don't ye think, ma'am," she continued, "if ye want things run to suit ye ye'd better visit your kitchen a little often-r?" "And I've come to the conclusion she was right." said the club woman. "I think it behooves me to resign a few of my public duties that I may spend more time in private life—in my kitchen." At Last Butcher Saw Where Hoodoo Was Leaving H. n. A butcher in a small way of business was in the habit of sending his son out with a small trap to deliver orders. The lad was a careless driver, and one day he knocked down an old lady. The inevitable lawsuit followed, and the butcher had to pay heavy damages. Shortly after this the son was the cause of another accident which had a similar unfortunate result, and the drain on the butcher's resources brought him to the verge of ruin. A few days after the second case had been settled, he was sitting in his shop thinking over his hard fate when a neighbor came rushing in breathless with the information that the butcher's wife had been run over by the careless driver of a private carriage and was lying in the hospital with a crushed leg.

The Commercial club of North Yakin a has decided on the plans for an active 1909 campaign for publicity. The governing board has issued an official call for six carloads of red apples to be sent out on a mission of advertising. The fruits are to be shipped to New York city, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, Boston and other large market centers and displayed in various ways, in order to show the possibilities of the country and open new markets for the fruits. Growers are to receive $2.50 a box for all apples accepted. It is estimated that the cars will contain 630 boxes each, and the first cost of getting the exhibit in shape for inspection will approximate $10,000.—Seattle Post-Intelligence. Snzee Is Cure for Faintness. There is no more sure cure for an attack of faintness than a hearty sneeze. It immediately stimulates the blood vessel of the brain. In many persons fainting never goes so far as a loss of consciousness or loss of control of the limbs. And in these the sudden weakness is often brought to an end by a sneeze caused by nature herself without any external aid. A grain or two of tobacco introduced into the nose or tickling its interior lightly will insure a sneeze. These simple procedures, or others similar in character, may prove invaluable when smelling salts and other elegant aids are absent. Por er's Shining ParlOr Strictly first-class.

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. Sunday, Jan. 24th, was quarterly meeting services at the A. M. E. church and Rev. W. H. Prince, the presiding elder, preached three excellent sermons. The pastor, Rev. P. D. Yochum, being indisposed, was unable to be present at the evening service, but the presiding elder expressed his satisfaction with the large increase of attendance and the marked advancement of the church work since last quarter. A large congregation greeted the presiding elder Sunday evening. Rev. Yochum is popular among his people. Monday evening the quarterly conference was held and most excellent reports were submitted for the presiding elder's favorable comments, which showed that the church is increasing in interest. The presiding elder is an inspiration in the quarterly conference as well as in the pulpit. The reports this quarter were the best in the history of the church. A vote of thanks was tendered him for his lectures and service. Mrs. Jennie Moore, the district steward, has been confined to her bed for several days, but she is improving at this writing. Mr. Chas.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD”. ee REALLY IT WAS PRETTY TOUGH. — EMERGENCY ALL PROVIDED FOR. Most People Will Be Inclined to Agree ed S Pune 1461 with Apple Grower. Small Wonder Thoughtful Landlord “Will somebody kindly step up and inform me if you can beat that,” sug- gested Col. W. T. Seller. Col. Seller had been telling his ex- perience with certain apple pilferers out near his place on Eddy road. Ever since apples got ripe this year on the colonel’s place they have been carried away by watchful residents out that way. The colonel himself has been obliged to get along with the wormy apples that others left behind. A short time ago Seller decided to clear out a piece of land that included a number of apple trees. ‘People steal all the apples anyhow,” he reflected. “I might as well remove the trees and the temptation along with them.” While he was out cutting down one of the trees, a woman hot footed across the lot with a basket on her arm. She evidently was coming to fill the basket, not knowing that any- body was around. When she saw that the tree was being removed she broke right forth and told the colonel a few things about vandalism that was enough to set a man thinking. “Pretty tough,” he says, “for a man to have his apples stolen all season and then to incur the ill will of the thieves because he isn’t going to main- tain the trees for them any longer.”— Cleveland Plain Dealer. Sad Conanticn <£ Havit Hayti has been an independent na- tion now for more than a century and has been ruled by emperors, kings and presidents, whichever title the leader of the successful mob saw fit to take —it made no real difference. The gov- ernment has been chaos tempered by despotism, it has made little or no progress in civilization, in the interi- or the natives have reverted to bar- barbism, and the sound of the voodoo drum is heard even in the suburbs of the seaports. Nature made Haiti an earthly paradise; man has made it a West Indian hell—New York Press. Machine Used for Bleaching. The problem of bleaching clothes in laundries without rotting the cloth has been simplified by a machine now on the market, which is expected to do away with the use of chloride of lime bleach. According to Popular Mechan- ics it is a device for producing bleach- ing liquor electrolytically from an or- dinary salt brine. This liquor, or chlorine, is claimed to be harmless to clothes, and, in fact, is considered equal in this respect to the old grass bleach. Annoy Anti-Noise Crusader. Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, the anti-noise crusader, is the wife of the president of the Holland Submarine Torpedo Boat Company. She sold her béauti- ful home on Riverside drive, New York, ‘because the tugboat captains, against whom she began her anti-noise war, took special delight in tooting their whistles at all hours of the night whenever they passed her house. To Investigate Cause of Leprosy. Prof. Ehlers, a Danish authority on leprosy, has secured the co-operation of some French workers, and it is pro- posed to organize a scientific expedi- tion into the Danish West Indies in an endeavor to determine the part played by blood-sucking insects in the dis- semination of leprosy. EMERGENCY ALL PROVIDED FOR. Small Wonder Thoughtful Landlord Was Annoyed. “Gypsy” Smith, the evangelist, cém- plained at a meeting in New York of the discomfort caused by the customs rules, “They who receive from abroad packets or heavy letters, such as at- tract the eye of the customs officials, find,” said Smith, “that the American government in this matter is as lack- ing as the Haytian hotelKeeper. “A gentleman, you must know, stopped at a country hotel some 50 miles from Port-au-Prince to escape one of those tropical deluges so char- acteristic of Hayti. “After dinner he turned in, for there was nothing to read in the hotel, the night had turned chilly, aud there was no fire. “He turned in, and he fell at once into a deep, delightful sleep. Then he awoke dripping. The downpour was leaking through the palmetto roof onto his bed. “Shivering, he reached out his wet arm and rang. “The pad of bare feet approached. ‘What's wanted?’ snarled the land- lord. “You must prepare me another room,’ said the guest. ‘The rain is leaking in here in buckets.’ “*And is that what you wake me for at this time of night?’ the landlord roared. ‘If you'd thought to look, you'd have found an umbrella under the bed. Use it, man!’” MANY WOULD MARRY DENTIST. Proposals Made While Under Influence of Gas, He Declares. “Ugly as I am,” said a dentist, “I have been proposed to by 72 women!” “Impossible!” they cried, gazing with ill-concealed repulsion on his ugliness. “The ladies did it unconsciously,” he hastened to add. “They were un- conscious in the grip of gas at the time. And it was—excuse me—gas-tly. Fresh-drawn teeth were scattered about, and the declarations gurgled forth amid a stream of blood. “They were all old maids. They all meant business. In vino veritas—and there is truth in gas, too. The things said in my red plush chair are the real and secret beliefs of the heart. “My wife—I don’t mind telling you under the seal of professional secrecy —tmy wife proposed to me in the chair while I was pulling 17 teeth for her. The wedding came off the day her full gold set was done. My wife may not be beautiful, but she fs a very good and rich woman.” An Interesting Runaway. “I read a piece in your paper about an automobile that run away with a man’s mother-in-law,” a correspondent writes the Adams .(Ga.) Enterprise, “and I'm interested in that automo- bile, and would like to know the name and price of it, or if the owner would part with it for an extra considera- tion? The only objection to the story is that it doesn't go far enough; it says ‘the automobile ran away with her,’ but doesn’t say what happened— whether the runaway was fatal, or the automobile changed its mind and turned ‘round and came back to where it started from. Can you throw any more light on the subject, and, by so doing, oblige a constant reader and old subscriber?” : FOHOHOOHOLO1O1O1O1 O11 O11 O11 OHO OVO OOOO O1G © PHONE 1461 2300-2306 Larimer St.& ; i © j WALTER EAST : x _—————— eee @ i g ® Groceries, Vegetables, Fruits, Meats, Delicatessen ¢ f OUR SPECIALTIES FOR THE COMING WEEK © —— eS eee © VEGETABLES MEATS a © A Fresh line of Vegetables re- Inthis Department there is .othing $ ceived daily: Radishes, Potatoes, Let- lacking?

A young lady who wears one of those big hats has endured all the gibes and jeers cast at her chapeau in dignified silence. The fast straw, however, was the remark that a friend makes every time he meets her: “Come out from under that hat,” he calls. “We all know you are there.”"— Boston Record. Clever Ruse of Thieves, A gambling club was raided at Bez- fers, France, one night recently, and the money on the tables taken by two men in plain clothes. After their de- parture it was found that they did not belong to the police, and that the gamblers had been the victims of two daring thieves, who got away with $9,000. The “Pied Piper.” A New York norma: school examin- ation had among its questions: “What is the educational vaiue of ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin?’" A would-be teach- er answered: “'The Pied Piper’ teaches children to by kind to animals, especially rats.” Keeping New York American. If it were not for the inflow of per- sons from the New England states and the west New York would soon be a city of people of foreign birth in overwhelming proportions, for there is a small number of inhabitants of na- tive stock in the metropolis. Smoke. While some esthetic communities are demanding factories that smoke less, others are eagerly on the look- out for factories that smoke more and oftener. It really seems difficult to please everybody. Oh, Ye Tears! The Town Grumbler—"I dun'no’ what things is comin’ to. Poor old Henry gone; Aunt Jane’s busted her leg; the old woman's {ll abed; an’ now, doggone me, if I ‘aven't lost my knife.’"—Harper’s Weekly. Great Dams. With the completion of the vast ir- tigation work) now being carried on by the federal government in our western siates, this country will pos- sess three of the greatest dams in the world. The Shoshone dam, with a height of 326 feet, and the extremely short length of 175 feet, will store 456,000 acre-feet of water; the Path- finder dam, 215 feet high and 226 feet Jong, will store 1,025,000 acre-feet; while the Roosevelt dam, 284 feet in height and 1,080 feet long, will store 1,284,000 acre-feet. The most notable structure comparable with these is the Assouan dam, which, after the work of Increasing its height has been com- pleted, will impound 1,860,000 acre-feet of water. Parade of Bad Hats. Just what is the cause of it a su- perficial observation does not reveal, but if anyone wishes to see some shocking bad silk hats all he has to do is to take a walk on Fifth ave- nue on any of these Sundays. The vintage of some of these samples of headgear is not to be reckoned by a young man nor is the country that gave them birth. The only thing that one can compare this array to is the spectacle presented by the London city “clarks,” who make a “topper” last to an extraordinary age and who preserve the original brilliancy of the silk nap by giving them a coat of vaseline — New York Press, American Women Adsartable. It 1s sald that an American woman hardly passes her first seasou in Lon- don until she can talk of the turf and politics, two subjects of which she {sg comparatively ignorant in the United States. This {s due to her adaptabill- ty, for, finding herself with those to whom they are interesting subjects, she naturally seeks to become pro- ficient in knowledge.

The Former the Northern, the Latter the Southern Spelling. "It never occurred to me that there could be any two ways of spelling the word 'bunk,'" said the scholarly appearing person who was studying the sporting section of the newspaper. "But I happened to pick up a Memphis newspaper the other day and as a head to a speech made by Commissioner Loomis in Tokyo recently I read: 'Loomis Hands Out the Bunc.' "Now, without endeavoring to go into the merits of the case so put I want to say only that the headline meant that Mr. Loomis was accused of softsoaping the Japanese he addressed. The only other authority for the spelling of the word comes from the sporting cartoonists, whose work I study carefully. They are unanimous in spelling it 'bunk.' "It appears to me that the southern version is based on a belief that the word is a diminutive of 'buncombe.' The northern spelling may be due to the belief that a person who may be bunked is a person of sleepy or dopy nature, who might as well be lying in a bunk, wrapped in slumber. Therefore when a person is bunked he is rendered sleepy. That is merely conjecture." Tobacco-Chewing Horse. He was a lovable-looking old beast, the kind of a horse that one instinctively would like to give a kindly pat on the back and say: "Good old boy" to. When the driver was ready to start out again he pulled the blanket off the animal's back and the horse kicked up his hind legs in pure playfulness, apparently. Maybe it was something else that prompted the action, for the driver pulled a box of all-tobacco cigarettes out of his pocket, stuck one in his mouth and then gave one to the horse, who stopped kicking at once and began to chew the tobacco with every evidence of enjoyment. Then the driver lighted his own cigarette, climbed up to his seat and drove off, the old white horse having never a kick in him left. The Dancers of Java. In the islands of Java and Ball, both Dutch possessions in the East Indies, no festival or merrymaking would be considered complete unless a troupe of native actors and dancers were engaged to come and perform, says a writer in Black and White. If a wedding should take place without one such performance the guests would be greatly scandalized, and would look upon the parents as most inhuman, for to them it would seem like the sending of a deliberate invitation to the higher powers to shower ill-luck upon the newly-married couple. But such a case of inhumanity on the part of relatives has hardly ever been known. Blanketing the Auto. This is the season of the year when the automobiles that are standing any length of time in the open air have blankets put over the bonnets in order to keep the wind cut. When it gets very cold it is hard to keep the water system in proper circulation if too much cold air is allowed to blow directly on the engine. Therefore the radiator and the bonnet are covered over and the machine is kept comfortable. It gives the cars a sort of horsy A. J.

At the residence of Mrs. Geo. S. Contee happened one of the swell social events of the season. The event was given in the honor of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Parks and Miss Estella Parker and Mr. Orlando Jackson. Covers were laid for eight and the delicate colors of white and pink were carried out in an unique manner. The dinner party was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Contee and the elegant repast and the entertaining features will long grace Miss Allyn as a charming hostess. CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER IMPORTANT NOTICE. A special meeting of the communicants and members of the congregation is hereby called to be held at the church on Saturday evening, the 30th inst., at 8 o'clock, to meet the Rt. Rev.

Warden. "THE ALLIANCE FULL OF LIFE"- HEARERS ENJOY C. S. MUSE'S PAPER. If ever there was a psychological Sunday when the negroes were dealing with the ethical and occult Sunday afternoon was the time. The musical program was unconsciously tending in that direction, while the paper was full of higher life-thoughts and noble sentiments duly amalgamated with the practical. Starting with the piano solo of Miss Elsie Von Dickersohn, "Meditation," which was played so feelingly and artistic, silently appealing to the inner man, and then being supported by the song "Star of the East," which detailed Christ's lowly birth, and the attending glories, as sung by Miss Thelia Tucker, made the timely message of C. D. Clem's sentiments on the recent decision of the United States Supreme court dismissing the case of Oscar Reed, the discharged negro soldier because of the smallness of the amount, only stick heavier on their impression until Mrs. Maria Kaskins sang so sweetly and true to life the song "Resignation." Then the audience was compelled to relieve their feeling with a deep sigh. Rev. Griffith of Zion Baptist church addressed the Alliance after the manner of our Rev. John E. Ford, the founder of the Alliance. He was practical, fraternal, spiritual and wholesouled in his approach and dealing with men and matters. He was extremely fundamental and religious, the keynote being, "The negro cannot succeed without God." Nations have been destroyed because of this lack or absent quality and if the negro will take God—the Law of Nature—all opposition will and must overcome God's law before it can touch the negro. When that is done all things come as a consequence, said the enthusiastic speaker. He was given a royal welcome and in his characteristic Virginia style he won the audience with his singing. Miss Mable Fore played for him. "Be Cheerful and Contented With Your Life" was the subject of Mr. C. S. Muse's paper. It was a sugar-coated pill of mind, manner and matter. Some took the popular and practical view of the paper, while the real essence lay in its scientific spiritual interpretation. Mr. Muse was funny and very witty at times. "Mind Your Own Business is a business in which there are only a few competitors," said Mr. Muse as he closed. The Brotherhood entertainment was announced for Feb. 2nd at Zion and the following program for Sunday, Jan. 31st was given out: "Vocal solo, Miss Frankie Buchanan; literary selection, Mrs. T. L. Douglass; vocal solo, Miss Eva Carter; address, "Humanity." Rabbi Friedman; vocal solo, Mrs. Lillian Jones. 1712 Curtis street is the place and 4 p. m. is the time. Everybody is invited to be present. ZION AT HER BEST. Sunday Zion Baptist church was doubly blessed with Rev. T. L. Griffith as their pastor and Rev. Countee THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. as the able assistant. There was no mistake when various members were speaking of the glorious sermons all day. In the evening to a crowded house the learned divine took as his text from the sixth chapter of St. Luke: "Give and all shall be given unto you." After very carefully and logically outlining his subject he very persuasively told when, how and what should be given and the abundant return as the consequence. The very impressive songs were sung by Miss Margaret Willis, while Mrs. Lillian Jones brought innumerable "Amens" as she finished that sweet and thought-filled song, "Just for Today." Rev. Countee helped to bring the collection for the day to an amount over $60. LADIES. ATTENTION! H. B. Brown, who is the state organizer of the United Brothers of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysterious Tens, is actively engaged in the formation of clubs to bet set up into Temples of the latter and wishes to get into communication with all women who desire the benefits of this society. He can be reached after 6 o'clock each evening by 'phone, Olive 2153. Mrs. R. B. Johnson has removed from this city to Lincoln, Neb., where she has bought out a rooming house. Mr. Johnson is still in the Burlington service between the two cities. William H. Dotson wishes to thank the friends who were present with him in sympathy and kindness in the loss of his wife, and especially does he wish to thank the Queen of the West Temple of the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten. He is joined in these thanks by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Brown. A committee of men examined the four-story building of the Pentecostal Union at Nineteenth and Champa street this week and are considering buying it. They are offered it for $75,000. If purchased it will be used for a hotel and office block. A committee of ministers waited upon the sheriff of this county last Saturday and asked in the name of the colored citizens an appointment of the race in his office. J. J. Manuel was the person recommended. At Zion church the Dorcas Society will hold a handkerchief bazaar Feb. 4th. There will be a short program. They will also serve chicken supper and other refreshments. Come and help us. Mrs. M. L. Willis, president. Rev. J. B. Beckham, Mrs. Lillian Smith and J. W. Jackson were in attendance upon the executive meeting of the State Baptist Association at Canon City Tuesday. The session was highly profitable, closing Thursday night with a grand rally. The reports from the different fields show the missions to be in a prosperous condition. Mr. and Mrs. Bruton entertained them while there. FOR RENT—Furnished room for gentleman. 1014 24th street.

In the United States army the several branches of the service are distinguished by the color of the shoulder strip, the infantry wearing white, the cavalry yellow and the artillery red. The grades of rank of commissioned officers are indicated by symbols of gold or silver on the shoulder strip as follows: Second lieutenant, blank; first lieutenant, a silver bar at each end; captain, two silver bars at each end; major, two gold oak leaves; lieutenant colonel, two silver leaves; colonel, a silver spread eagle; brigadier general, one silver star; major general, two silver stars; lieutenant general, three silver stars; general, two silver stars with the United States arms between. One Hundred Years Ago. It has been some time announced that the new machine for traveling without horses, being impelled entirely by steam, was matched to run 24 hours against any horse in the kingdom. This bet, so novel in the sporting world, will be decided on Wednesday and Thursday next. The machine is to start at two o'clock on Wednesday on its ground in the fields near Russell square to demonstrate the extent of its speed and endurance. Very large sums are depending on the issue. From the London Observer, September 18, 1808. ALAMOSA, COLO., NEWS. Mr. William Barrett has been on the sick list. Mr. Mack Wright has returned home after a short business trip to Denver. The announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Ida Harrison of Kansas City, Mo., and Mr. Lafayette Riley of Denver, the wedding to take place in this city shortly. The bride is a talented piano player, having won fame of being one of the best in the state, while the bridegroom is a promising young gentleman. Mr. Tim Coleman has been appointed head bartender of Slavick & Sons bar. A grand ice skating party was given by the A. C. S. Club, of which many prizes were given. First prize for the most graceful lady skater, a burnt music roll, Miss Ida Harrison; second prize, one pair kid gloves, to the next most graceful lady, Miss Octavia Riley; first prize for the most fancy gentleman skater, one Stetson hat, Mr. Warren Barret; second prize, one silk scarf, Mr. Charlie Jones. Mr. Carter has been very sick but at this writing is much improved. Miss Mable Smith is visiting her sister, Mrs. Nellie Clay of Boulder. Mrs. Nora Jones of this city is on the sick list. Rev. Hayes has invested in some real estate in this city. PAGE. 6. New Use for Police Force. The health department of Chicago has succeeded in enlisting the police force in a fight to check contagious diseases, particularly diphtheria. Dr. Evans, the health commissioner, is responsible for this new alliance of brain and brawn. Culture tubes and antitoxin for use in diphtheria cases will be sent to all of the police stations. Physicians are expected to cooperate with the police. "Diphtheria can be prevented and can be absolutely cured if the antitoxin is administered early enough," Dr. Evans says. "As soon as a physician reports a case of suspected diphtheria a policeman must take a culture tube to him. When the physician obtains the culture the policeman will take it to the city laboratory, where the amount of antitoxin required for that particular stage is determined. The policeman then reports back to the physician." A Germ Immune "Well," said the old gentleman, walking through the International Tuberculosis exhibit, "when I see all this I wonder how I have ever lived to be 84 years old, and I never took a mite of care of myself, either. You see, I was born in the days before they discovered germs. I have slept with the snow blowing in on my bed, cut through the ice to wash my face and hands, eaten all kinds of rich, hearty foods, got my feet wet and let them get dry again or stay wet, put my flannels on and took them off when I pleased—am 84 years old and never had a serious illness. I am afraid now, however, that I will never reach 90 years, as my father and mother did. Looks like a man don't have a fair show with so many germs ready to floor him." The Arniston Goblet. The Arniston branch of the Dundas family of England possesses a curious Venetian goblet, and, like the famous "luck" of Eden Hall, they believe that their prosperity depends upon its preservation. It was given by his mother to Sir James Dundas in the reign of Queen Mary, with an injunction to preserve it carefully or misfortunes would attend the family. It once had a miraculous escape from destruction, for a very eccentric peeress, who for some unknown reason owed the family a grudge, concealing her sinister intentions, asked to be allowed to see it, and when it was handed to her she deliberately threw it on the ground. Every one present held his breath, expecting to see it shivered into fragments, but strange to say it did not break, and it is still preserved intact. A Cosmopolitan Circus. George W. Dunbar joined Dr. E. Bacconstow's Cosmopolitan circus, a boat and wagon show that played the towns located along the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, in 1868. The feature of this "imposing traveling and sailing" aggregation was the 40-horse parade, which, in those days and in that territory, was a sensational affair. Every one connected with the enterprise from Dr. Bacconstow himself to the bearded lady had to drive a single horse, a tandem or a four-in-hand equipage. Young Dunbar came well recommended as a whip, so besides performing on his horizontal bar in the circus ring and a black face act in the after concert he was assigned to tool a four-in-hand in the big parade. The Bill Board. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Luxury. In the country of the barefoot, could luxury be imputed to the first man who made himself a pair of shoes? Was he not rather a model of sense and industry? So of the man who contrived the first shirt. As to the man who had it washed and formed, I set him down as an absolute genius, abundant in resources, and qualified to govern a state. Naturally, however, a society unused to clean shirts looked upon him as an effeminate coxcomb, who was likely to corrupt the simplicity of the nation.—Voltaire. Electricity in Japan. The authorized capital of Japanese electric undertakings in 1903, $14,193,000, rose to $68,724,000 in 1907. The electrical works undertaken chiefly represented lighting and railways. The number of lights supplied in 1903, 365,000, increased in 1907 to 859,143. Tokyo and Osaka require each 100,000 lights. Electric railways show equal development. In 1903 the mileage was 38, which rose to 119 in 1907, and will be largely added to by construction during the present year. A Good Hunt Rewarded. An old man in Atchison writes to the Atchison Globe: "In 1866 I knew a Methodist preacher who would announce his text in this manner: 'You will find my text in the eighth chapter of Isaiah, ninth verse. If you don't find it thar, you will find it somewhar, if you hunt the book through from Genesis to Revelation. And if you don't find it then you will have found a great many things which will do to you a power of good.'" Unusual Freedom "Are all married men as carefully watched as jokesmiths say they are?" "Certainly not. I know a married man who is allowed two nights out every week, just so he comes home before 11 o'clock, and tells his wife exactly where he has been and brings some sort of little gift, just to show that he has been thinking about her all the time.—Birmingham Age-Herald. Honor Conferred on American Rev. Dr. John H. DeForest, a veteran Congregational missionary at Senday, Japan, has been decorated by the imperial government with the Order of the Rising Sun, the distinction having been conferred in recognition of his services in dispelling anti-misconceptions among Americans. Dr. DeForest has been doing mission work in Japan for 35 years. Will Help Women and Children. Mrs. D. W. McFadden has been elected to the Idaho legislature. She will represent Ada county and will be the only woman in that body of lawmakers. Her friends say that she will devote herself exclusively to pushing laws benefiting women and children. Germany Home of Canary Birds. The export of canary birds from Germany is very large. Every year about 130,000 of these birds are sent to America, 3,000 to England, and some 2,000 to Russia. Locomotive Holds World's Record. The electric locomotive holds the world's record for a mile with a mark of 27 seconds. THE NEEDMORE CLUB CALEB ALLEN, Prop. & Mgr.

SINCE 1910 We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with 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. 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. Tall Montana Folk. A singular rivalry has arisen between two Montana towns as to which possesses the tallest family. Libby, in Flathead county, professes to have more tall people than any other town of its size on the continent. Ten members of one family have a combined height of almost 60 feet. The father weighs 215 pounds and is 6 feet $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ inches tall. The mother weighs 225 pounds and is 5 feet 6 inches tall. The first son, 6 feet $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ inches tall, age 21 years; second son, 6 feet 4 inches, age 19 years. The head of this proud family is Herman Bockman. Red Lodge calls attention to the fact that in that city four members of one family are taller than any four members, of the Bockman family. W. A. Talmage is 6 feet $ 4 \frac{1}{2} $ inches tall; Earl Talmage, age 18 years, is 6 feet 8 inches tall; Elmer Talmage, age 19 years, is 6 feet $ 7 \frac{1}{4} $ inches tall, and Nathan, the youngest, who is only 12 years of age, measures 5 feet 6 inches. Then the average height of the father and three sons will unquestionably compare with that of any other family in the entire country.—Helena Correspondence, St. Paul Despatch. A Public Park That Pays. It is a bit astonishing to learn from an official source that the most famous, extensive and beautiful municipal park in the world yields a larger revenue in money to the city in which it is located than the cost of maintaining it. It cost the city of Paris $142,000 to care for the Bois de Boulogne last year, and the revenue from the rental of the numerous pavilions in the park, where all Paris takes tea and dines in summer, was $154,000. The expediency of thus making a great public park yield a large revenue from private concessions may be open to question, but so long as they add to the attractions of the park they are quite permissible from the public viewpoint. The particularly notable thing about this showing is that the total expense of maintaining this beautiful park, which contains 2,250 acres, is only $142,000. Acetylene Shells for German Navy. Experiments are now being carried out on German warships with acetylene shells, which, it is believed, will take the place of the electric searchlight used hitherto by warships. These shells contain calcium-carbide, and the water can reach them through a tube. The shells are fired by a gun built specially for the purpose. On being fired the shell goes under water, and then rises to the surface, and the action of the water upon the calcium carbide produces the acetylene light. Each shell is said to have 3,000 candle power, and will burn for three hours. How Far a Waiter Waika Have you any idea of how much ground a waiter covers in performing his day's work? At a certain hotel, which has a long, narrow dining-room, the matter was recently put to the test, and the head waiter was armed with a pedometer when he went on duty at seven a. m. When he had retired after the dinner hour he had covered ten miles and a fraction. He asserts that this long record of distance covered in a single room is largely the result of the telephone and the social life of the hotel. Exhibit of American Industries. J. Pierpont Morgan and Waldorf Astor are on the advisory committee of the Golden West. an American in- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. dustries exhibition which is to be held in Eariscourt, London, next May for which extensive preparations have already been made. Associated with them on the committee are about every one of note in Burke's peerage and other distinguished men, including Alfred Austin. Opposed to School Fraternities. Berkeley, Cal., has a superintendent of schools who has no use for "kid frats." He has informed the students that unless the charter of every fraternity and society in the schools is returned at once to the national headquarters those who retain membership will be summarily expelled. He declares that the fraternities destroy unity and harmony, promote cliques and interfere with studies. "The Unemancipated." The Rich Hill Enterprise man says: "The unemancipated wife these days will quit her cozy bed and build the fire while her lord pretends that he is dead. She'll wrap herself up in her hair and shiver in the dawn and chop the kindling, hustle coal and turn the damper on, and while she freezes till she turn the hue of a persimmon, the scientists will wonder why the men outlive the women."—Atlanta Constitution. Ventilate the Bedroom. "There is one place you can control your bedroom. Ventilate that," is the warning of a recent Chicago health department bulletin. The bulletin urges the need of fresh air in the winter to combat consumption and pneumonia. It advises riding on the platforms of street cars and warm clothes, but no bolstering of necks, and as much avoidance as possible of places where the air circulation is poor. Our Best Two Words. The friends the foreigner had made during his visit in New York were sad at his departure. They sat about a table at a cafe he had frequented, talking of him. "Good sort," they said. "Awfully sorry he's gone. Of course, he couldn't talk in our language, but he knew enough of it to make him interesting. Two words: 'Have another.'" Large Number of Women Students. There are now 667 women students in the University of Glasgow. This is said to be the largest number on record. Queen Margaret college is the women's hall, which is presided over by Miss Galloway, LL. D., and Miss Janet Spens, M. A. Large Amount of Gold Produced. South Dakota is congratulating herself on the greatest gold year in her history. The report of the state mine inspector, filed with the governor, shows the state's gold production for the last year to have been $7,460,000. To Control Sale of Medicines. Government control of the sale of medicines is contemplated in Japan. A local newspaper there announces that a bill making such provision may be introduced during the coming session of the diet.

Education should be more than mere book learning. In its fullest sense it is preparation for doing life's work. Therefore it is gratifying indeed when we see arising in the coming men and women an appreciation of the seriousness of their school work, and it is a compliment to any school that impresses their minds not only with the value of training, but inspires in them the will to persevere. In our issue of last week a student at Western University, Quindaro, Kan., paid his alma mater the highest possible tribute when he said that his stay there had brought home to him the real meaning of life and the school preparation for it. Mere scholarship may unfit a purposeless man for the ordinary duties, but real soul culture make him fight on over whatever obstacles, confident that the right will prevail, knowing that merit will ultimately triumph. This tribute to Western University coming after a visit there, makes us doubly sure that it is destined to become a great school that will mean to our race and to the western country what Yale and Harvard mean to the east. Its small beginning, its youth, its humble means are a handicap, but the spirit is there, and after all brains and will power are what make nations and people. The faculty and student body have a pardonable pride in the school, they are creating a Western University spirit, they are making the capital by dint of hard labor that will furnish the endowment of morale for the years to come. Buildings they have, equipment of the best kind, teachers whose ability insures good scholarship, and best of all the right college spirit. Acting President French, who is in charge because of the absence of President W. T. Vornon in Washington on government businesses, can well have a cheerful view of the race's education, with such advancement going on under his direction. The new administration of the state of Kansas is taking a kindly view of the school and will probably give it a larger appropriation than ever at the present session of the legislature. We hope so, for its growth will mean much for not only Kansas but the whole west. For the benefit of the editor, the strength of the Colorado delegation was shown and it is a splendid show- PAGE.8.

The parents of these students have reason to be proud of them, for they are making the best possible records. Of the faculty, two are well known here, Prof. Jackson, the very efficient teacher of music, and Prof. W. W. Fisher, the financial agent. He is still the same genial gentleman that he was while here in the interest of the Jamestown exposition. After a visit to the four buildings, and seeing the grand work done in them, one must say, "Verily, Ethiopia will stretch forth her arms unto greatness." Only One Death in Family in 50 Years. This was a notable day in the affairs of Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Kulp of this city, for it was just 50 years since they were married. To-day's event was attended by the six children and 11 grandchildren, their families and other relatives. There has been but one death in this family, that of a grandchild, which occurred 26 years ago. Lock Haven Correspondence, Philadelphia Press. Mortal Offense. "I'm going to beat your block off!" "What for?" "You offended my wife." "But, my dear sir, I merely refused to elope with her as she wanted me to." "I know it. And here's where you get trimmed."—Cleveland Leader. Cuba's Imports of Yellow Pine. Cuba imports annually about 150, 000,000 feet of yellow and white pine, 80 per cent. of which comes from the United States. No suitable building lumber grows there. Rev. Cole's Calamity Continued from page one stalled near the head of the table whose duty it was to remind the guests that their days were numbered and that they were born to die. So now the handwriting upon the wall in the case of Dennis D. Cole, ex-Methodist, and down-and-out Presbyterian, may serve a useful lesson to others that honesty is best, that good character is the shortest road to success, that a minister's life and his precepts ought to agree. Reports are out that he has tried to divide the People's church since his leaving, and that he is in such little favor with his intimates that he failed. So, like Napoleon on St. Helena, he may gaze back upon the ruins of his fallen fortunes and regret. TERMS. Why help pay big rent? We save you 20 per cent on uptown prices CLEMENTS TAILOR W. O.
