FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 6 1909 FIVE CENTS A COPY PLEA FOR THE LINCOLN SPIRIT In all parts of this country preparations are being made to celebrate the centenniary of the birth of Abranam Lincoln. In Denver there will be gatherings and addresses February 12 at different places and under the auspices of various organization and societies. Lincoln was such a great character that no one class can claim him for its own to the exclusion or all others. He belongs to the class of "Immortals." Every race and every condition of mankind can do honour to his great name without feeling that it encroaches upon the especial prerogatives of any other race or people. Conceding the argument that the Emancipation Proclamation was a war measure, it will have to be admitted also that the agitation of the freeing of the slaves, together with the election of Lincoln brought about the secession of the slave-holding states, and then followed the great civil war. At no time in the history of Denver has there been a movement started that has united the colored people better and with more determination than is now seen and demonstrated in the worthy effort to establish a Colorado Young Men's Christian Association in a home of their own. This movement is endorsed and encouraged by all of our churches. It is for the betterment of every colored man and boy in Denver. It will be a helpful and uplifting agency for our fraternal organizations, family and social circles and religious institutions. Its influence and teachings will tend to put the right ideas into the heads of our young men who do not seem to know how to treat the jobs that they are having such a hard time in holding. It will not in its work usurp or supplant any of the means now in operation for the advancement of our people. It will always be undenominational and non-political. It will provide a place where our young men can have the use of a gymnasium, can learn trades, can pursue studies can attend lectures, and will have a reading room where the best papers, books and magazines will be kept. Our houses of worship belong to different denominations; our lodge halls belong to the different societies; the Y. M. C. A. building will be the property of the whole colored population. When a colored boy or man enters it he will not be going into a house where he will be met by a chilly reception, or where some one will say to him, "Colored people are not allowed here." Now is the time when every one of us, young and old should shake off our selfishness and, with the spirit of the "Immortal Lincoln" give what we can to the building of this home for the young men. The older men and women will soon be gone from the stage of their activities, and they should welcome this opportunity to help in a work that will constantly remind the future generations that the fathers and mothers of our day were not the slaves of selfishness and narrowness. We are the beneficiaries of the men and women who lived in the troublous times of Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, and let us like them make sacrifices for the welfare and advancement of the generations that follow us. So while others throughout this country are celebrating Lincoln's birthday in martial and civic parades, at sumptuous banquets by eloquent speeches, and by many public demonstrations let us make the day and occasion memorable with our donations for the Y. M. C. A. building fund. Think what it will mean if it can be said that we out of our scant earnings had erected a splendid home for the Colored Y. M. C. A. The young men invite you to Shorter's February 14, at 3 p. m. to hear Mr. A. W. Lewis of the Law School of the State University at Boulder deliver an address on Lincoln, and Prof. A. C. Murphy, the silver tongued orator in his oration on Frederick Douglas. P. E. SPRATLIN, A. M., M. D. THE TIME FOR ACTION IS HERE The "Jim Crow" microbe has come to Colorado. A bill has been introduced in the present session of the Legislature providing for the separation of the races in the public schools. The principle of such legislation is inherently bad and unAmerican. The public schools are the mills in which the cosmopolitan population of this country is taken in, worked over and turned out American citizens in spirit as well as in name. The more ignorant elements in the common wealth stand most in need of education, but it is asking too much of human nature for white school boards and they will always be white—to give the Negro appropriation for education such as his needs demand. They do not do it in the South, they even argue against the need of education for us, and they will not do it in Colorado. Far-sighted people of both races denounce such attempts to produce castes in this country for they recognize that a superior and an inferior civilization cannot exist side by side in any nation. So it is that the bill must be defeated, and the Negroes must do their part toward that end. The Anti-Japanese wave may have inspired this bill, but there exists no reason why colored Americans should find themselves subject to its sweeping provisions. Friction between the races in the schools has been singularly absent in this state and unless it is conjured up by this untimely bill will not serve as excuse for its passage. Our small numbers constitute no menace to "white supremacy," nor can any of the stock arguments avail in support of it. The bill so far as we are concerned is a gratuitous slap at us, an insult to ur manhod, and a criticism of our past conduct. Several methods lie at our hands for circumventing this measure. First of all is the appeal to practical politics. The men who led the fight among us for the success of the Democratic party must assume the duties imposed by their success. They must us their influence with the mov- er of the bill, with the speaker of the house, with the leaders of the party to have it killed in committee, by being pigeon-holed. Failing in that, they should take the fight before the committee on the merits of such legislation and by facts and arguments, disprove the need of it, so far as it effects us. The small number of colored children, their inoffensiveness, their needs, together with the cost of separation, all furnish strong arguments. In this the colored supporters of Democracy will have the aid of all Negroes, regardless of politics. We have an ex-member of the Legislature, who Failing before the committee we must go before the House as a whole. Then if need be, continue the fight into the Senate, and before the governor. It is our privilege to lobby on this measure and our duty to unborn generations demand that we be no laggards. This is not the time for appeal to class and race hatred, nor for abuse, nor for dilly-dallying. We should be able to bring to our aid the powerful influence of Denver Democracy for it is freely claimed that the colored vote made possible the present regime at the city hall. Be that as it may we are certain that an appeal can be made to Mayor Speer and his friends. Denver is too busy expending money for its future greatness to run the chance of any of it being diverted into useless channels such as separate schools will be. Its population lives in too much accord for artificial barriers to be erected through the medium of the schools. Great things are to be done and we have no time for petty prejudice. Providence made Negroes distinguishable from Caucasians and there is no attempt on our part to obliterate the lines of racial differences. We only ask that we be not denied the opportunity of education; that the door of hope should not be closed to us. Our rapidly increasing tax burden and our patriotism are deserving of consideration and it will be a poor victory for the powerful white race to impose hard conditions upon us. As we said above this is not time for abuse, no time for indignation meetings, nor inflammatory resolutions. Some white people nonestly think we want separate schools, really believe that they are best for us. These we must reason with. President Roosevelt is right. Separate schools are the worst possible form of class legislation. Echo of Real Value. Emerson Hough, the author of several popular novels, is very fond of outdoor life. It takes a good man to beat him when it comes to telling a story around the camp fire at night. While camping out in the Adirondacks with a party of his friends, the conversation turned on echoes and how plainly they could be heard. Echoes were getting louder and louder, until silenced by the following statement by Mr. Hough: "Out in the Rocky mountains it takes eight hours to hear the echo of your voice. When I camp out there, and just before I pull the blankets around me for the night, I shout out: 'Time to get up!' and—do you believe it?—the echo wakes me next morning!" Peas Bring Luck. N. C. Burriss said large numbers of negroes came into his store this morning and bought peas, the ordinary table peas, and usually in small quantities. The large number of such peas excited his curiosity and he asked one of the negroes what it meant. He was told that the negroes believed that if they ate peas on the first day of the year they would have money all the rest of the year. Many negroes believe in it and all of them had peas for dinner.—Anderson Mall. To Remove Old Paper from Walls. Many women do their own paper hanging. For sanitary and other reasons the old paper should be removed from the walls. This is usually very difficult to do, but I have just removed the paper from 13 rooms, where it was made very easy in the following way: The paper was wet thoroughly with a thin, boiled flour paste, applied with whisk broom or whitewash brush, after which it came off in large strips. The time the paste was allowed to stay on varied with the thickness of the paper, and was easily determined by experiment. A cake turner was found to be of great use in starting the strips. I learned this "trick of the trade" from a paper hanger. Encouragement There is a young clubman of Philadelphia who has been most persistent in his suit for the hand of the only daughter of a wealthy old merchant of that city. Not long ago a friend meeting the young man on the street asked: "How are things, Tom? Has she given you any encouragement?" "I should say so," replied Tom. "Only last night she told me that she would get every cent of the old man's fortune when he dies."—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. Pat's Deficiencies Mrs. McCarthy's husband went out in a boat alone, the boat overturned and he was drowned. A friend met her some weeks later. "I hear," said he, "that Pat left you very well off—that he left you $20,-000." "True," said Mrs. McCarthy. "He did." "How was that?" asked her friend. "Pat couldn't read nor write, could he?" "No," said Mrs. McCarthy, "nor swim." "But," he protested, "I already have an automobile." "Get another" was the stern dictum. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Some Good "Howlers" Sent to Us from England. An article on "Examination Humor" in an English periodical called "Normal Echoes," contains some good "howlers." They are none the less interesting for coming from students in training for teachers. A criticism of William Blake that "as a child he was precocious in poetry, but in later years it developed into dogmatism" is a lesson in the art of being inarticulate, while the remark that "the works of the time were mostly Satyrs" is quaint though obvious. The translation of "Caviare to the general" as "they gave the best of fish to the servant" is worth thinking out, and so is the note on Wordsworth's great line in the ode, "the winds come to me from the fields of sleep," as "found in Old Immortality, means that the wind blew across the flowers." Of course, there is boggling over proper names. There is nothing, indeed, so good as the description of Cromwell as "a man with coarse features and having a large, red nose with deep religious convictions beneath," or the case of the "lapsed man" who, having by way of exception attended church, admitted to the rector's wife that he had benefited, for he had learned that Sodom and Gomorrah were two cities, whereas he had always thought they were man and wife. THOUGHT THEY WERE STALE. Good Reason Why Playwright Did Not Appreciate "Candy." A well-known playwright who has a full-grown appetite and is particularly partial to caramels found a handful of very pretty confections on the top of his wife's dresser the other afternoon. He looked them all over and, selecting one encased in tin foil, ate it. It tasted to him as though it were stale. In the course of the evening his wife asked him if he did not want some candy. The writer of plays said he thought he had eaten all the candy he cared for that day. "You evidently buy the box because it has a pretty picture on it and let them give you the candy," he complained. "You can leave that tin-foiled stuff around the house hereafter with safety. I've had all I want of it." "Oh," said his wife, "that covered with tin-foil wasn't candy. That was bath tablets." Hardships Avalled Nothing. Two Russian sailors, wishing to desert from their ship lying in the Tyne, England, took a boat and rowed for the open sea. They took with them food and clothing and $300 in cash. The flood tide set them inshore again and they tried to land, but the sea was running too high. For many hours they drifted helplessly about and finally their tiny craft was pitched upon the beach of Manhaven, near South Shields. Here they took refuge in a cave, where they lived four days and nights, until their food became exhausted. Hunger drove them into the open and eventually they were arrested. The Importance of Languages. Literature is not only a mirror of life as it is, but a mirror of life as we would wish it to be. A book is not only meant to state certain facts, and to be written in a certain style, but is meant to give a gimpse of the human spirit which prompted it. Here is where languages are of primary importance. Through them only can we get at the human spirit. They are in other words the instruments with which we test the expression of the human spirit as well as a means of understanding the spirit itself.—From an Address Made by President Wilson of Princeton. Determining Physical Condition. Children differ in development, and Dr. T. M. Rotch has pointed out that the present method of regulating child labor by age is unscientific and unsatisfactory. One child may be as well developed and capable of endurance at 13 as another several years older. He proposes that the X-rays be used in estimating the capacity of the young and immature, as sufficient study will make it practicable to gauge physical condition by the state of development of the bones of the body, and thus give a rational basis for determining what work may be permitted. Cashier Had It All. In Basin, Wyo., a few years ago, there was a plot hatched to hold up the Boston bank. In some way the story leaked out and the plan fell through, but one day after it had been abandoned, the principal who had planned the hold-up stood outside with two of his friends looking wistfully through the window at the cashier. After a time he said mournfully to his pals: "It wouldn't have been no use, boys; he's got it all." A Wide Range. Aunt Anne, an old family darky, was sitting with knees crossed in the kitchen, when the young daughter of the house entered and, impressed with the hugeness of the old woman's feet, asked what size shoe she wore. "Well, honey," replied Aunt Anne, "I kin wear eights; I generally wear nines, but dese yer Ise got on am twelves, an' de good Lawd knows dey hu'ts me!"—Everybody's. Crushed Again. Mrs. Denham—Do you think that I shall be a good-looking old woman? Denham—I don't know why you should expect any such radical change. FINE PEAT BOG IS IN MAINE Substance of Wealth Discovered by Mere Accident. An analysis of the strange mixture which spurted ten feet in the air when Henry Hagan was digging a trench on the Alonzo Davis place at Norridgewock a few weeks ago shows that it is the finest peat. So finely separated are the particles that the substance after the water evaporates from it is nearly all carbon. It hardens quickly, and when in this state burns readily. Hagan was digging a trench through a piece of low ground when he struck the vein. It spurted into the air with a rush that drove the men from the trench. The substance was so fine that the men thought it contained oil, but the analysis showed this conclusion to be erroneous. About ten tons are in sight, and it is believed that there is still a larger deposit under the surface. These suppositions are borne out by the fact that the stuff spouted out like an oil well for a while, indicating that somewhere it is under great pressure from a clay or other deposit.—Kennebec Journal. PAGE. 10. WORLD'S BILL AGAINST RATS. It is $160,000,000 a Year in This Country Alone. The bill of damages which civilizatoin holds against the rodents foots up into tremendous figures. According to the experts of the bureau of biographical survey of the department of agriculture, Uncle Sam alone has to pay $160,000,000 every year on account of property damages inflicted by the pests. John Bull and the kaiser between them fork over $150,000,000. The rat bills of the world would reach into the billions, says Success. Sir James Crichton-Browne, president of a recently formed international union of scientific organizations working together for the extermination of arts, declared that every rat in the United States costs the citizens at least two cents a day for its keep. In England a rat costs from one-half to five cents daily. The British India rat is the most expensive rodent of them all, for there each of the innumerable swarming millions of the pests consume on an average of three cents daily. If you add to the cost of the board and lodging of rats the expense of maintaining and of fighting the diseases spread by them, the average specimen of the rodent tribe preying on civilized nations may be said to cost us from seven to ten cents a day. This Versifying Age. The body of tolerably acceptable contemporary verse is enormous. It shows a wide range of thought, and a commendable technique. In one department, at least, it has manifested a notable progress during the last 500 years; namely, in the poetic drama. Hundreds of men and women are now writing plays in verse. They are giving a new vitality, new imaginative possibilities to the American stage. Our lyric poets are beyond counting. Mr. Stedman gathered the work of 600 of them into his anthology many years ago. But this number does not represent a tithe of the persons who habitually or intermittently produce verse. Yet how rarely, in the mass of lyric verse, does one catch the national note! More sonnets are written about John Keats than about the United States of America.—Bliss Perry, in Atlantic. Trick Files. In a lecture on files before the Royal Photographic society of London, F. P. Smith said that with a little patience files could be trained, and he showed some cinematograph records of files lying on their backs twirling miniature dumb-bells, balancing weights bigger than themselves, climbing revolving wheels and acting as nursemaids. Accurately balanced little machines were used for training the files, and the only discomfort to the insect, said the lecturer, was involved in its being imprisoned for a day or so. On being released, although its wings were uninjured, it had no desire to fly, but showed tractableness and readiness to perform these extraordinary gyrations instead. Savedezed. "There's nothing in physiognomy," observed the man who had been stung. "I desired to be ruler in my own household, so I married a woman with a weak chin, which she had inherited from her mother. Later I found that she also had a stubborn disposition which she had inherited from her father." China Seemingly Should Be Land of Great Piety. Of the late Chinese emperor it may be said, as it has been of his subjects, that he was born a Confucian, lived a Taoist, and died a Buddhist. China indeed has four state-established religions, and in each the emperor exercises sacerdotal functions. Twice a year the emperor, as "Son of Heaven," worships before the tablet of Shang Ti or Supreme Heaven in accordance with the ancient imperial monotheism. Twice a year he burns incense before the tablets of his ancestors in accordance with Confucianism. Twice a year he sacrifices to the gods of Taoism and twice a year to the image of Buddha. The ancient and primitive religion of China is monotheistic, but this first worship was regarded as too sublime for the people, so that it became reserved for the emperor alone as the Son of Heaven and as priest of the nation. The people on their part worshiped their ancestors and it was the ancestral religion which Confucius identified himself with and reformed. The old superstitions rejected by Confucius were absorbed by Taoism, which is polytheistic and the religion of the populace. Then Buddhism came into China about 66 A. D., and, like the other three religions, became state-supported and state-endowed. BOTH CHEAP AND CONVENIENT. Wonderful Living Light That Is Found Only in Brazil. A living light, called the pyrophore, makes illumination cheap and convenient in Brazil. The pyrophore is a monster firefly an inch and a half long. With one it is possible to read fine print, and three will light a room. The Brazilian peasant, when he traverses by night the perilous forest paths of his country, fastens to each shoe a pyrophore. Thus illuminated, he has no difficulty in avoiding poisonous snakes, pitfalls and wild beasts. The Brazilian coquette fastens in her hair or her corsage a pyrophore incased in white tulle. The effect is as of a great luminous pearl or opal. When a pyrophore's light goes out, it is not necessary to fill him up with oil, to drop a coin in him or to throw him away; but a moment's ducking in cold water suffices. Thereafter his three little lanterns—one on the breast and two on the back—emit again as bright a radiance as ever. The pyrophore, as all nature students know, is called vulgarly cuengo, but scientifically the name os coleopter serricorn stermose claterides. Electricity as a Carrier. Does an electric current when passing through a metal conductor cause any transportation of particles? It is well known that it does so in the liquid conductors known as electrolytes; in fact, such a common operation as electroplating depends entirely upon this action. To test the matter a recent experimenter passed an electric current continuously for a whole year through a conductor composed partly of copper and partly of aluminum, the sections being pressed firmly together. At the end of the year they were taken apart and examined but not the slightest trace of either metal was found in the other. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Wedding Ring Arrangement That Englishman Thought Queer. "Of all your queer American customs," said the Englishman, "and you have many, you know—oh, yes, very many—the queerest is that of the oldest daughter of the first marriage of a woman who has been married twice wearing her mother's first wedding ring." "How is that?" said the American woman. "That sounds rather complicated. I am afraid I didn't just catch it." The Englishman repeated. "In the two weeks that I have been ill in New York," he elucidated still further, "I have met four maiden ladies of 35 to 45 years of age who wore wedding rings. I asked for an explanation, and each time I found that it was the ring with which the lady's father married her mother. When the mother married again she gave the ring to her oldest daughter. Don't you think that queer?" "I certainly do," said the American woman, "still I can't believe that it is a national 'custom' or I should have heard of it before."—New York Press. Lived Long as Hermit. There has been discovered in the Australian "bush" or forests a wild Irishman, who had been leading a hermit life for a quarter century. He was of gigantic stature and enormous strength—a good advertisement for vegetarianism, as he had not touched animal food since his retirement from civilization. His hair was four feet long, matted and cf considerable thickness. He told the police he was a follower of Christ, Samson and Hercules. His name is John Bernard Fitzgerald and he is 72 years of age. He has never bathed, regarding the practice as irreligious and unnatural. The combined force of half a dozen police, however, compelled him to overcome his scruples. Paid for Bride by the Pound. In the village of Kolked, in Hungary, it has since time immemorial been customary for the bridegroom to give the bride's parents some compensation before the wedding. The other day a peasant farmer named Kotvoes and the parents of his pretty young betrothed could not come to terms as to the amount, and so they agreed to make the mayor arbitrator. That good man, a cattle dealer, valued the bride at 60 cents a pound. As she weighed 86 pounds the happy bridegroom had to pay only $51.60, and thought himself lucky to get a wife so cheap. Plan Curb for Reckless Hunters. One of the newly-elected members of the Oregon legislature announces his intention of introducing at the next session a bill making it a crime to shoot any person under the belief that such person is a deer or a canvasback duck. The Value of Politeness. Hollow trees are always the stiffest, but the mightiest oak, it is found, can bend. Thet more exalted a man is by station, the more powerful should he be by kindness. There is no policy like politeness, since a good manner often succeeds where the best tongue has failed. Politeness is most useful to inspire confidence in the timid and encourage the deserving.—The Sunday Strand.

"SAL WIT AT GOLFERS’ DINNER. fin Tells How He Touched Rocke- feller and Got Away with It. There are only two real rapid fire hits as after-dinner speakers in town nowadays, guaranteed to make good in any company. One of them is Simeon Ford, who says he has retired, and the other is Patrick Francis Murphy, who is bald and grows old. They met at the golfers’ dinner the other night and spilled epigrams so rapid ly that the reporters had to quit writ- ing to hold their sides, says the New York correspondent of the Cincinpati Times-Star. Murphy, in the saddest manner possible, declared that the one distressing thing about drink was that it produced the temperance orator. The barbarians, he said, insisted on regarding golf as a retreat for fal'en men. He held that golf was the pur- suit of pale pilg by purple people. “There are born golfers and born duf- fers, and the tragedy of it is we never know which we are. It is, like mar- riage, a game of chance, not skill.” And then Ford got up and com- plained because he had to follow Mur- phy, who is a polished orator from the sole of his feet to the crown of his head. “Personally, I wish he had a duller finish on his head.” And after talking on awhile in the same tone in which he might announce his own death, he told a gold story. “It was once my privilege and pleasure,” said -he, “to soak John D. Rockefeller in the off hind leg, in the golden calf, with a golf ball. It was at a distance of 50 yards. He was excessively annoyed but when I told him I didn’t think I could drive that far, he was mollifled. lam probably the qnly man who ever touched John D. and got away with it.” NOT THE BARGAIN HE THOUGHT. Discovery That Seriously Interfered with Millionaire’s Joy. “You think our American million aires buy a good many fake pictures?” M. Rochefort laughed. “It’s pitiful! It’s shameful!

You mean you've found a counterfeit?’ “My dear sir, I'm sorry, but—they are all counterfeits.’”"—Cleveland Mof- fett, in Success Magazine. Observing the Amenities. It is beautiful to see the graces and amenities preserved in spite of difficul ties. The prisoners in the county jail in Milwaukee have “presented resolu- tions to Ben Johnson, the retiring jail- er,” thanking him for his treatment of them “during his regime.” The maker of the “address of presentation” is un- der indictment for murder, “a boy who beat a grocery collector to death in a wagon during a storm,” but a tender heart and sympathetic disposition. “We wish to thank you for the little acts that made us forget for an in- stant that we were in jail,” the re- greiful guests say to the parting host. Little courtesies like these light up the dungeon cell and foretell, perhaps, the roseite day when even the ;eni- tentiary shall be co-operative. Reedy Repairer for Automobiles. There are various roadside expedi- ents possible when a nut has been lost and po duplicate at hand. Usually as good a plan as any {s to wind the threads of the bolt tightly with soft iron wire, such as stovepipe wire, of which a coil should always be carried In the tool locker. The winding should start at the end of the bolt and follow the threads up to the part it is desired to retain. The wire is then wound back in a second layer over the first and the ends twisted together. If there is a hole in the bolt for a cotter pin one should be inserted and the ends of the wire twisted around 1, sO tna ine impro- vised nut cannot screw itself off from the bolt.—Scientifie American. A Cclorado Woman. That women should display enter- prise in Colorado is not to be wen- dered at, since thy have been for man years fully qualified voters there. A good specimen of the ad- vanced woman in the Centennfal state is urs. Nellie Upham, who fs the vice- president of a mining company, and who personally supervises the running of fifty gold and silver mines, boss- ing three hundred workmen. Mrs. Upham had studied mining and min- erals for a long time, and some five years ago she drifted Into her pres ent business. It is stated that she manages affairs with great ability— Leslie’s Weekly. sg King Leopold’s Art Treasures. King Leopold of Belgium, it is said, intends to bequeath all his art treas- ures to the nation, to be divided among the various museums. !1 is for this reason, rumor has it, that a French art expert has for some time past been busy making a catalogue of the collections and valuing them. Boys as Glass Breakers. “It's about time,” declared the In- dignant citizen, “that something was, done with boys who smash the glass around the street lights. Again and again I have seen them throwing rocks at it for ten or fifteen minutes until one was successful in smashing it. When they play ball, it seems to be for the purpose of hitting and break- ing the glass of a lamp either on the curb or at the steps of an apartment house. If a house fs vacant, you will notice that the basement windows are broken half the time. It is all done by boys, who apparently take great delight in the sound of a good, hard smash.” Circumstantial Evidence, “Is it true than an employe of the street-cleaning department was seen intoxicated on the street?” “No; the rumor started from the fact that some people said they saw him fall off the waterwagon.” THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

The Misses Jones and Davis and Mrs. Winslow from Rocky Ford and were the guests of Mrs. Winchester WITH PEOPLE OF LO 3 IIT Men of 70 Not Regerced as Cld— Simple Life and Lonzevity. In Norfolk, England, here are in every village individuals of more than 80 years of age ahd not infrequently one or two over 90, and those of 70 and upward are regarded as not even old. Many farm laborers of 70 are quite hale and hearty, working from early morning up to five and six o'clock in the even- ing, and some are so vigorous as to earn a full man’s wages. And the women in the country, writes a correspondent, are more tena- cious of life perhaps than are the men. In one village personally known to me, containing about 300 people, within the past six months have died three women of more than 90 years of aze, the oldest of these being no less than 96. In another Norfolk village with inhabitants to the number of 400 there live a man of 95, a woman of 90, a woman of 89, a woman of §7, and several of both sexes over 80. In yet another village there is a blacksmith aged 96 and the widow of a country medical practitioner whose years mount up to 92. This longevity of the Norfolk peas- ant, comments the Lancet, has a very interesting pathological side to it. The chief enemy of the farm laborer of the eastern counties from the standpoint of health is rheumatism. Not many reach even middle age without having been the victims of rheumatism, and a large number are crippled in their old age by this disease. But in spite of this the average of longevity seems to be very high, although as well as rheumatism he has to contend with the lack of Adequate housing accom- modation and want of proper sanitary arrangements. That to eat sparingly of plain wholesome food, to be much in the open air and to work sufficient- ly to-oceupy the mind and to exercise the body will enable a man to defy more or less the evils of environment would seem to be shown by the tough- ness of the Norfolk laborer.

Tie passengers in an accommoda tion train which was winding its way thrcugh New Hampshire were inter este | and amused»by an elderly couple whe sat fn the middle of the car. T ey talked as if there were no one else in the car; therefore, having hearé mos of their private plans, no one was surprised to have the old mar take the assembled company fully in to l{s confidence. At one station he rose and addressed the passengers ir gent ral. “Can anybody change a $5 bill for two ‘wos and a one, or five ones?” he inqu red. " “I can,” safd a brisk woman, and the tran fer was quickly made. “Dow, could anybody change this $1 bill for four quarters or tens and fives '" asked the old man. “I can give you two fifties,” said a man from the rear seat, “unless some- body else can do better.” It \ppeared that nobody could, or at least nobody offered to; so as the train started, the old man lurched dow: the car to the possessor of the two (cent pieces. “T \ank ye,” he said, as he took the monty. “I'm obliged, though I'd liked the «uarters best. You see, Marthy has st her mind to stop off at Nashuy whils| I go up to my brother's with the ezgs and truck.

"It is the way she manages the clothes proposition that aroused me to wonder and admiration. Here is an example of her thrift. "Early last month she bought a broadcloth dress which, with the extra charge for alterations, cost $55. Well, after she got the suit home she didn't like it. The store objected at first to taking it back, but her persuasive tongue won them over, and after deducting $5 for the alterations, they refunded the money. Last week, when nosing around, she saw that same suit on sale for $35. My wife, it seems, has such a peculiar figure that the suit, after being made to fit her wouldn't fit anybody else, so there was that $50 garment, and cheap at the price, going for almost one-third off. She of course snatched up the bargain. No more fitting or making over was necessary, so even when counting in her $5 for alterations, she saved $15 on the deal. I'd just like you to show me any man who could come out that well on a transaction in clothes."

C., at the request of President Roosevelt, who desired the leauing men of the different races to investi- gate and study delinquent and de- pendent children of our country, made a very creditable speech Sunday at the Alliance. He dwelt more in par- ables and illustrations than he nas heretofore. His very apt inferences how a golden haired child could change a miser from worshiping gold and draw him to worship humanity was very timely. Many other good points he made. Miss Eva Carter sang very sweetly and patheucauy “Just for To-day.” Mrs. Jones, being ill, was unable to be present.

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 Rhev- matism, or any other Lingering Dis- ease, take one treatment of Magnetic stealing from the Healer and you snall be convinced that your disease nd pains will be turned into health and joy. All this is simply the operation of natural law, and it is not half as won- aerful as the fact that you can send your voice along a little wire for thou- sands of miles, yet no one doubts the telephone, or is astonished at what it accomplishes, Is it strange, then, that & new discovery should be made in the line of physical science as an- plied to the healing art. © PROF.

The Lorings were married a little over a year ago. In the first week after their return from the wedding trip to the little flat which they had so much fun in furnishing Mrs. Loring offered as a dinner delicacy her first apple pie. He tried the pie, but was not equal to the task of eating any of it, and of course she wanted to know why. "My dear, I never eat pie," explained Loring. "I thought I would try this just out of compliment to you, but I can't finish it. Besides, I am certain it will make me ill." It was done with such skill that she put her arm lovingly about him and called him a "dear old thing" just for trying to eat it. Now if there was any time at which Loring was at peace with the world it was when he was in front of a man's size slab of pie. But for a year he missed that pleasure in his new home. The other night Loring had as a guest a chum of boarding-house days, and the latter was telling of Loring's table feats. "Did you ever in all your life," he asked the young wife, "see a man who could eat so much pie as he can?" Hence the tragedy. INDICTMENT OF MODERN DRESS Men's Wearing Apparel a Survival of Other Days. Why does the being we call a "gentleman" wear around his neck a band of spotless whiteness and unbearable stiffness, at his wrists similar instruments of torture, and before his chest a rigidly starched linen plate? asks the Atlantic Monthly. No one outside of a madhouse would call these articles of apparel agreeable. There is for the custom no reason at all drawn from comfort, hygiene, or usefulness. There is, however, the ghost of a dead reason. Once upon a time a "gentleman" was presumed to do no work, and he dressed to show this, by putting on these visible signs that he never soiled his hands, sweated his neck, or bent his noble back. It matters not that we no longer believe in this definition of a gentleman; we did believe it once; its ghost rules on. No man is bold enough to appear in society without this impossible harness. Only some one who wishes to propose as a mild lunatic dares rebel. Addison said that the man who would clothe himself according to common sense would find himself in jail within a week. Wood as Food. In one quarter of the earth, at least, wood, in a certain form, serves as a common and constant article of diet, and that is the northern coast of Siberia. At several points the natives eat wood, and eat it because they like it. Even when fish is plentiful, wood usually forms a part of the evening meal of these natives, as testified by numerous travelers. Cleanly stripped larch logs near every hut in that region are silent witnesses to the general fondness for wood diet. The dish is prepared by scraping off thick layers immediately under the bark of the log. These are chopped fine and mixed with snow, the whole being boiled in a kettle. Sometimes a little fish roe, milk or butter is mixed with the wood. —Tit-Bita. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD SCRAPBOOK OF MUCH INTEREST. Newspaper Criticism Treasured by German Crown Prince. Among the German crown prince's most treasured possessions is a scrapbook containing over 1,000 pages of adverse criticism. The first 500 pages are inscribed with a gold lettered heading: "I hope I am not like this!" Some of the most outspoken comments, says the Gentlewoman, are accompanied by marginal notes in the prince's own handwriting—such as "the enemy's voice is no less interesting than the friend's." The second and third parts of the book deal respectively with the crown princess, her children and the Grand Duchess Anastasia, the princess' mother. This volume is considered of too private a nature to be available to all and sundry, so it is sealed by a massive lock, keys of which are possessed only by the crown prince and his wife. Not the Yellow Kind. William Allen White is wedded to Emporia, Kan., and the newspaper editorial desk which he there adorns. But about twice a year Mr. White, out of a hard sense of duty, wrenches up stakes and comes east. "Why, Mr. White," exclaimed one woman whom he met at luncheon, "aren't you a little stouter than when I saw you last?" "Probably," said White, "quite probably. I usually am." The same afternoon Mr. White sat in a box at a matinee and looked out over the audience with no small degree of interest. "It's much darker than the last time I was here," he murmured. "Darker?" repeated his host. "Yes. How fashions in hair change! Now only a few years ago this would have been like looking over a box of lemons."—Philadelphia Record. Contest Doomed to Failure. In a club composed of young people in New York, which was originally organized for bridge purposes, the chafing dish has become the prime feature, and prizes are sought for by the creators of "new dishes, nicely prepared and moderate in cost." One member, who would never have joined except for his fondness for the game, said: "It's all very interesting for the people who like those things, and I would enjoy the cooking bees myself if it were not for the fact that one must eat the creations to be polite. I have been a close observer since the contest began, and am sure that every woman thinks that the dishes suggested by others are horrid. And I agree with them, and am sure that a row will come in at the finish." Dining-Room Like a Rose Garden. At a recent grand diplomatic dinner the decorations of the dining-room and the table were roses—a veritable shower of them! Bengal roses, Dijon roses, and the roses of France. They strewed the table; they hung in baskets; they wreathed the candelabra; they trailed from the dinner cart, and sprays of them marked the places of the guests inclosing the name cards written in letters of gold. The room was like a rose garden. In the dark hair of the hostess, behind each ear, nestled a large pink rose. A pretty finish to her robe of white meteor crepe edged and hemmed with a Greek key design done in gold.—From a Paris Letter to Vogue.

The days when "Sam" Clemens "stuck type" on the Hannabal Union are recalled by this anecdote: One morning "Sam" came into the office very thoughtful, hung up his coat and went to the frame. He worked diligently for several hours without any copy on his small-cap case in front of him. He was setting up the story of a wonderful find he and some of his comrades found in McDougal's cave the Sunday before. The narration was to the effect that a crowd of boys, while exploring the great cave on Sunday afternoon, ran across a petrified Indian. The citizens were greatly worked up over the story, and they hired a scientist from Quincy to look the dead Indian in the face and report. The man who came to perform this task wore gray mutton-chop whiskers, a thoughtful brow, and spectacles, of course. He was an unemotional chap, and he looked learned and the committee was satisfied of his ability. By the terms of his contract he was to write a complete report, detailing every possible feature of the discovery for historical preservation. The investigator returned at nightfall, covered with clay, with clothing torn and skin barked in countless places by falls of rocks. He sought out the chairman of the committee that employed him and silently delivered to him this statement: "Mileage in looking for dead Indian, $20; reading story about dead Indian, $5; bruised shins on the way to dead Indian, $10. Report: There was no dead Indian."--Macon (Mo.) Republican. Remember the Gypsy Moth. A Philadelphia scientist has discovered a new kind of flea, described as having no eyes and six teeth. Provided the society with the long name did not object, it might be suggested to the scientist, as in line with public policy, that he pull the flea's teeth before letting it go again.

They were of a sturdy, well-built, good-looking race of people. They had good farms and brought up large families. One of them, Capt. Joseph Turner, was an auctioneer and a leader in local enterprises. There was a barn raising in the vicinity and Capt. Turner was "boss" of the job. Those old frames were mostly heavy timber and were put together and pinned beforehand, so that the whole broadside or end was raised at a time. It took 20 men or more with spikes to raise the section. Roland Foster and Boardman Faunce sat near by telling big stories about the product of their cows. They were both noted throughout the town for telling "awful whoppers." Finally "Uncle Roland" said: "What I am going to tell you now is the truth." Mr. Faunce said: "What I am going to tell you is the truth also." The "boys" had got one broadside about half way up and were pushing with all their might, when Capt. Turner sung out: "Hold on, boys, hold it right where it is. If Roland Foster and Boardman Faunce are going to tell the truth I want to hear it."—Norway (Me.) Advertiser. Quiet Salary. Somebody in a Minnesota town wrote a letter to the Minneapolis Journal objecting to a local clergyman because he "yelled" so much. After considering the matter the Journal reaches the conclusion that the minister "yelled" in proportion to his salary he "wouldn't make as much noise as a mouse in a bag of feathers." The minister receives $350 a year and his parsonage. From this instance it doesn't seem as though a man on that salary ought to make very much of a racket, but perhaps he is elated because he has six or eight children and a nice dog.—Waterbury American. --- MEATS Rooms----31-2 Good Block.

Indictment Drawn Up Against It By the Late Henry George. Let the duke . . . wander for a while through the streets tenanted by working people, and note the stnuted forms, the pinched features . . . And if he go to that good charity (but, alas, how futile is charity without justice!) where little children are kept while their mothers are at work, and children are fed who would otherwise go hungry, he may see infants whose limbs are shrunken from want of nourishment. Perhaps they may tell him, as they told me, of that little girl, barefooted, ragged, and hungry, who, when they gave her bread, raised her eyes and clasped her hands, and thanked our Father in Heaven for His bounty to her. They who told me that never dreamed I think, of its terrible meaning. But I ask the duke, . . . did that little child, thankful for that poor dole, get what our Father provided for her? Is He so niggard? If not, what is it, who is it, that stands between such children and our Father's bounty? If it be an institution, is it not our duty to God and to our neighbor to rest not till we destroy it? If it be a man, were it not better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the depths of the sea.—Henry George. CHINESE FIRST GREW ORANGES. From That Country They Were Introduced Into Europe. At a time when tiny orange trees are to be seen as table decorations and oranges innumerable are for sale, it is not inappropriate to trace the introduction of the fruit into Europe. According to a Paris contemporary, after its introduction into Europe from China a Carthaginian conceived the idea of grafting the yellow mandarine orange upon the grenadier, with the result that we have blood orange. Jean de Castro introduced the orange from the West Indies to Portugal, and the first attempt to cultivate it was made by the Constable de Bourbon, but after his revolt Francis I continued the experiments. At the time Louis XIV visited Toulon the Chevalier Paul, in compliment to the king, placed some preserved oranges on trees in the orangery. Ladies in the retinue, it is added, were under the impression that these oranges grew sugared. Growing Up Together. "The size of the pages varies with the age and size of the New York hotels," the woman remarked. "That is, so it seems to me. The Knickerbocker, which, while it is fairly tall, is also fairly young, has pages about 10 years of age, who look to be 8—tiny kinds in uniform and buttons, whose baby faces must rake in the coin by way of tips, all right enough. I came near giving one of them a quarter myself, he was so cute and little. The Hotel Astor has boys a size or so larger, being an older hotel, and perhaps a trifle more massive. The Waldorf-Astoria, older and larger still, has boys even larger to match, while the St. Regis has full-grown men. However, in the downtown hotels, which are not particularly high, but can boast of an age considerably in advance of the young Knickerbockers that have grown so fine and tall, old men are pages." A.

Revival meetings have been held in the various churches in turn, and now that it has come to Shorter, Rev. Ward is making an extra effort to be effective. As one of the best adjuncts to the service, he is getting a chorus of fifty voices to lead the singing. Having in mind the success of last year, both he and his officers and members are setting the mark high and hope for great things. There is already a proper uplift of spirit for a good beginning, as shown by the spiritual fervor in the regular Sunday services. Further announcement of the meetings will be given later.

Cleveland also has a colored police lieutenant, fifteen colored teachers in the city schools, including one in a high school, two Negro assistant superintendents in manufacturing establishments employing white operatives, and one colored private secretary to a railroad president." The latest songs sung by the different companies are: "L-o-v-e Spells Trouble to Me," "I Aain't the Man," "I Think I'se My Brother Coming You," "Red Bird," "It's Up to You to Move," "What a Time," "I'm Saving My Money for a Rainy Day;' also "It's Strange No One is at the Table But Me" and a bass solo, "Down In the Deep Let Me Sleep."

In the presence of Mesdames M. J. Crawford and C. M. Carey at high noon Wednesday, February 3rd, at the St. Mark's Cathedral, a prettily conducted ceremony was witnessed, wherein Martha Boone-Wright of Denver and Richard W. Hill of New York were joined into the holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. H. S. Foster. Mrs. Hill is a Denver product and has always been energetic, progressive and prominent in society. Her many friends will be greatly surprised at the wedding. Mr. Hill hails from New York and is a prosperous and industrious young man who not only comes to our city well recommended and well connected to one of the old families in Washington, D. C., but is held in high esteem by the people tor whom he works here. Pending her mother's return from Wyoming, Mrs. Hill will temporarily reside at 834 Broadway. They are contemplating residing in the east permanently. The Statesman congratulates the happy couple and truly trusts that all of their lives will be sunshine with not enough shadows to even be called a raindrop. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

Tuesday night scarcely 75 people saw the "Cool Collegian," as presented by the Lyon School of Expression. The play was light, bright and breezy and well worth the money, but for some reason the Brotherhood itself failed to support the play and encourage the players to again assist us. While the house was not full, yet those there appreciated the play and enjoyed themselves. The following program was rendered: Duet, "Micolini" (in costume), Misses Boot; reading.

Many are the stories told of its wonderful powers. The Tartars declare that very little if any of other sustenance is necessary, and they can perform the most laborious tasks upon a diet of koumiss stone. They claim for it all the virtues and none of the evils of other beverages. Any Tartar can ride 132 miles in seventeen hours in all weathers on a quart of koumiss. Here's a tip for the army and navy victims of Roosevelt's military tests. Take along koumiss. --- PAGE. 6 "I think it's simply awful," said the first woman, "the way men remain away from home at night and risk their earnings at the game of poker. My husband is a perfect fiend about the game. One night he had three friends at our house and they played that horrid game until nearly half-past three in the morning." "My!" exclaimed the other woman, the one with the 5A plaid waist. "And does he lose much money?" "No-o," says the first one. "He hasn't really lost any money. In fact he's been winning a little bit. But then that doesn't make it right. I would be opposed to gambling, no matter how much he might win. And just as soon as my husband wins enough to finish paying for my clothes that I've picked out I'm going to make him stop it. If he doesn't I'll leave him. I just simply won't live with a man who's a gambler." Origin of Bank Check. A Frenchman quoted in a Paris letter of the London Globe tells of the origin of the present day bank check. It is well known, he says, that the fog is so dense at times in London that everything is blotted out. That is the opportunity of the marauder, and he is not slow in turning it to his profit. At the beginning of last century the attacks made upon bank messengers and others became so numerous that tradesmen and manufacturers began to think seriously of devising some means of protecting themselves. They therefore invented the check, which enabled a man to go about with little ready money and renders useless the indiscreet exploration of a pocketbook. Captain Stood Sentry Duty. Captain Herbert Winslow, U. S. N., who is executive officer at the Charlestown navy yard, is a great stickler for the honor of the service. The other night he did sentry duty for half an hour when he found an unguarded post. Captain Winslow discovered that an entrance gate had been deserted by the marine. He immediately assumed the man's place and had some minutes' wait before he secured a messenger to telephone for a marine relief. Until the post was manned by a new marine guard Captain Winslow stuck it out in the cold and drizzle. Orderly Wine Drinkers "They let us play cards in our wine room," said the New York wine merchant. "It is not against the law. It would be if we sold whiskies, but not wine. The reason? Why, one man out of ten gets ugly and quarrelsome when he drinks whisky, but no man who drinks wine shows his true nature in the same way. If those men over there at that table were drinking whisky instead of fine Rhine wine, there would be a fight every ten minutes with the cops called in." Where She Drew the Line. "Do you regard the stage as an educator?" "Not exactly," answered Miss Cayene. "It would be unfortunate if we were to get our ideas of society from the problem play and our ideas of costume from the musical comedy." THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

Miss Genevieve Hallowell, prop. Mrs. J. R. Hallowell, Mgr. Sir Frederick Bridge's Advice to Musicians Is Worth Heeding. In his address at the annual conference of the Incorporated Society of Musicians of Great Britain Sir Frederick Bridge advised musicians to be cheerful. "Let us think," he said, "that English music has a tremendous future." Sir Frederick narrated some experiences of his own early career, when he had to play, teach and walk $4\frac{1}{2}$ miles between Rochester and Gravesend to fill the position of organist for $105 a year. "It was not much of a start for the organist of Westminster Abbey. But I am an organist of the Abbey despite this poor beginning, and I put my progress down to the fact that I took a broad view of things," he added. Sir Frederick instanced the rise of Sir Edward Elgar. Sir Edward, he said, was brought up as an ordinary teacher of music in the Midlands, "and I know he played second violin in an orchestra I once conducted. I am sorry for him, but I know he did it. His example is a good lesson and a very good fact in musical history of which he ought to be proud." Freaks of Electricity. Electricity is a freakish manifestation of energy, not a bit accustomed to our curb and rein. A queer incident just reported at Rockport, Mass., shows this. A big iron freight steamer, loading granite at a pier, has been found to be completely electrified. The charging current apparently came via the water pipe which was mixed up with a grounded lighting wire. The vessel is a sort of floating Leyden jar, and no one knows just how to restore the equilibrium. Meantime the electricity is playing all sorts of freaks with her machinery and instruments. Watches are frequently magnetized, but for a big vessel to be thus affected is a disagreeable, if interesting novelty. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS. THE MASKS Woman, Lovely Woman. Short Description of a Stylish Woman—Her waist begins just below her neck. Her hips have been planed off even with the rest of her body. She is usually buttoned up the back, and around her neck she wears a section of barbed wire, covered with lace. She wears on her head a blonde haystack of hair, and on top of this a central dome with rings about the same size as those of Saturn. She is swathed in her gown like an Indian papoose, and on the end of her feet are dabs of patent leather. She walks on stilllike heels with the expertness of a tight-rope dancer. The pores of her skin are full of fine white powder. 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.

BRANCH OFFICE IN DENVER Conducted by "The woman's thumb and the four fingers of each hand were simply covered with gold rings encrusted with stones of every description from diamond to turquoise. She seemed oppressed by her adornment and held her hands straight down, being so encased in rings as to be unable to bend her fingers." DISCOURSE NOT ALL RELIGIOUS. Secular Matters Mixed with Scottish Minister's Sermon. A minister of Crosmichael, in Fife, frequently talked from the pulpit to his hearers with amusing, and, indeed, irreverent familiarity. Expounding a passage from Exodus one day he proceeded thus: "'And the Lord said unto Moses'—sneck that door! I'm thinking if ye had to sit beside the door yersel', ye wadna be sae ready leaving it open. It was just beside that door that Yedam Tamson, thee bellman, got his death o' cauld; and I'm sure, honest man, he didna let it stay muckle open. 'And the Lord said unto Moses'—I see a man aneath the laft wi' his hat on. I'm sure man, ye're clear o' the soogh o' that door there. Keep aff your bannet, Thamas, and if your bare pow be cauld, ye maun just get a gray worsted wig, like mysel'. They're no sae dear—plenty o' them at Bob Gillespie's for tenpence apiece." The reverend gentleman then proceeded with his discourse. 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. Boston Globe. Native Newspapers in India. The papers published in the native dialects of India are circulated among, and read by more than any other dailies on the globe—a single paper. It is said, being circulated from house to house through an entire village, and read until it is completely worn out. Six papers from the entire collection of Persian periodicals—one printed in Syriac and five in the native vernacular. Until lately none of these Persian papers was printed from type, but was engraved. The island of Borneo boasts a paper printed in English, called the Sarawak Gazette, size only 8x13 inches, but which was first issued in August, 1807. Satisfied with a Smell. This little three-year-old hungry American was with his mother at the home of a neighbor. The neighbor's little boy was eating a piece of chicken. Hubert wanted a piece, but it was all they had. He then asked for a bite, but the other little fellow objected. The two mothers then took a hand, and amidst many "yes's" and "no's" on their part, Hubert silenced the whole business by saying: "Well, just let me smell the bone." The bone was handed to him, and he very soberly took a long, delicious smell and handed it back.—Delineator. Mouse's High Jump. How far can animals leap?

Without hesitation it sprang to the middle of the floor, 78 inches away. If we take its height as one inch and a half, that mouse had leaped 52 times his own height. For his plucky act he deserved to live! The Berkshire Breed. The Massachusetts maid was in a romantic mood. "I am dreaming," she murmured, poetically, "dreaming of the dear old Berkshires of my native state." "Berkshires?" echoed the Chicago youth, somewhat bewildered. "Er—was your father in the pork-raising business?" And the look that the Massachusetts maid gave him would have congested radium. Useful "Old Horse Farm." The street-cleaning commission of Baltimore has opened an "old horse farm," and now five mules are recuperating from their hard experiences. By this system of rest and recuperation the commissioner believes that the usefulness of the horses and mules of his department will be greatly lengthened. The Explanation. Mr. Digits missed his car last Thursday morning. His three-year-old son, seeing him rush excitedly about the house after his hat and gloves and lunch money, took it for some kind of game and joyously tackled his father around the ankles. To straighten things out required a quarter of an hour, and the parlor lamp will never again be the thing of beauty that it was.—Newark N. J., News. TOO MUCH WORK FOR ONE WIFE. Nigerian Needs Several Properly to Minister to His Comfort. According to the Geographical Journal of London the marital relations among the peoples of Nigeria vary somewhat according to their state of civilization: "Polygamy is the rule, the reason given being that it is impossible for one woman to do all the work of the house, look after the children, prepare and cook the food, fetch the daily supply of water (often an arduous job), cultivate the plantation and go to market. The African is an exceedingly hungry person. It is the custom to eat several times a day when at home, and the men spend most of their day sitting in the palaver house or market place, while the women bring the food all day long. One wife could not possibly do this. Besides, the African lady encourages it, for she says, 'The more wives, the less work.' "Among the Ahiaras, Onichas, Obuwus and the lower class of pagan tribes in the interior, there is very little form of marriage. As soon as a man has the means, he pays the parents what they want, in the shape of goats, cows, beads and money, and takes the girl. There is no ceremony at all. The more wives the greater riches he is supposed to have and the better he will be looked after. "If, of course, they can manage to seize a woman from the neighboring tribe while she is fetching water or working on her farm, so much the cheaper. With this method in vogue for centuries, no wonder that it is as much as a native's life is worth to go out of his own village, and that the country is so backward." "This is white hair you are drinking," said the Chinese under secretary. "White hair? Nonsense! It is delicious tea." The under secretary laughed in his lilac brocade sleeve. "No, white hair," he insisted. "White hair, that is, in my language. For Pekoe means white hair. This tea is called Pekoe because its leaves were gathered so young that the downy hairs still grew on them."

Abraham Lincoln is growing in the world's eye. The anniversary of his birth will be celebrated next week in a more extensive and affectionate manner than ever before. Of the many great Americans he represents the greatest sum total of virtues, even his uncouth awkardness being kindly remembered and serving as a foil for his magnificent greatness. While the preservation of the Union was his great work as chief executive of this country, and the freedom of the slaves was only an outgrowth of it, yet it is as the Liberator that hs is growing in the world's esteem. Great and wonderful as is our country, humanity is greater and the contribution which Lincoln made to all mankind in freeing the slaves outweighs even his service to this nation. His kindliness even in the persecution of the war, is what has made him dear. His strong heart qualities have overshadowed his mentality which of itself would have made him great. So it is that the sword is slowly ceasing to be the emblem of world power, and the arts of peace are being exalted. And the Negro who was the occasion of Lincoln's display of humanity cannot despair of his future so long as the world pays such tribute to the doer of the work. Rev. Owens, presiding elder of this district, has come home from a visit to some of the churches. On the 24th of January he was in Ogden and established there the J. C. Embry Mission with 17 members. This is not the first church effort in that city but it is the strongest so far and bids fair to be lasting. He makes a splendid report also of the church work in Cripple Creek.

Sometimes a man goes so far past reason and fairness in pursuit of vengeance upon the Negro race that he nullifies his efforts and drives reasonable people to condemn him and his principles. Of such a class is this West Virginian who is spoken of in the press dispatch given below. It goes without saying that public buildings are not the property of any state official so that he can deprive the public, much less another state official of his right to use them. In law he must find his authority to close elevators against Negroes, not in his desire, and West Virginia is not supporting him thus far. The dispatch says: "Charleston, W. Va. Jan. 20. Because an order was issued by the governor of the state that no Negroes were to be permitted to use the elevator in the state house hereafter, State Librarian J. C. Gilmer to-day was forcibly ejected from the lift while he was trying to reach his offices on the third floor of the building. "The elevator boy declaring that he had orders from the governor on the subject, would not permit Mr. Gilmer to ride, and when the latter persisted, he was pushed out of the car and despite vigorous efforts to re-enter it was prevented and had to walk up the stairway. "The governor was friendly to the 'Jim Crow' bill which was introduced recently into the legislature, and he worked vigorously to secure its passage. "The Republicans, however, voted as a unit against the measure, and it was defeated. "Then the governor said that he would not hereafter allow any Negroes to ride on the elevator he had to use, and Gilmer was the first victim. "The state librarian is a university man and a leader among his race. "He is the editor of the Advocate, the leading Negro paper of the United States, and is quite generally respected. "He stated this evening that he would seek redress for the insult of the governor to him and to his race and that he would seek to have the governor change his order, so that colored men who hold official positions can hereafter ride in the state house elevator." --- TERMS.

In order to aid the travel fund by sa- ying |\e has occupied a cheap room on Ore Hundred and Twenty-fourth street. The principal object in the room was a large folding bed. The other night the bed seemed uneasy, so Da: idson tried to re-arrange it. To do so he stood on it, near the head, and {i shut up on him like a trap. Only sis head protruded and he screaned murder in the three lan- guage: he knows. A tapping came at the door. “Corie in!” shrieked Davidson. “Come help me!” The door opened slightly and an un- pleasa it face peered in. Seeing that Davids on was fast, the owner of the face {lowed {t in. “Can't ye get out?” ie queried, sympathetically. Davi ison replied, with some excess of hea , that he wouldn't have yelled if he iad been able to release him- self w thout assistance. “Hu t bad?” asked the stranger. Davi ison said: “No; just bruised.” “We 1,” said the visitor, “you will be hwt bad if I hear a yip out of you.” And he deliberately went throug 1 Davidson's belongings, while the ow ier, in a folding bed and menta) agony, watched the procedure. The visited rifled Davidson's trunk, took his litde bits of jewelry and the money he had saved for that European trip. Now and then a groan burst from avidson, always to be stified by a ‘hreatening motion on the part of th thief. “Good-by,” said that person affably as he left, “I'll close the decor after me. You needn't get up.” Whe i, an hour later, Davidson was finally released by his landlady, his first at was to send for the ki@hen hatche and destroy the bed. THRI\ES ON DIET OF ORANGES. Califor via’s Golden Fruit Agrees with the Ostrich. It {fs questionable if any animal on earth ‘ould duplicate the swallowing feat that is to be seen daily (or as often i: s a tourist comes along) at the Cawstin ostrich farm in South Pasa- dena, | ‘al. The ostriches on this farm are ve itable giants of their race, hav- ing res ponded generously to the genial climat', good food and scientific care. Orar ges are one of their great dain- ties, e pecially the big “navel” varie- ties, n easuring upward of 3% inches in diar eter. One old patriarch named Emperor William will catch the or anges one after another, full ten feet above he ground, until an even dozen may b. seen at the same time slowly bumpii & down his long expanse of neck, o be finally lost in the ruffie of feat iers where neck and body join! Will am has been known to gulp 35 or 40 «ranges in succession, says the Wide World Magazine, and the fact that hi is in robust health at 23 years of age seems to indicate that Califor- nia ori nges agree with him. Th: College Man in Business. 1 have no doubt that a man with trainin ; in imagination derived from a colle ze education can advance rap- idly, bit 1 would rather have a men in business whe eau do vere tice ‘eA5 Qne wee can uo differential cal- culus. The grasp of detail is what the university man does not get. The man in business requires the routine character of mind that the highly educated céllege man has not the patience for. What seem to be big things do not exist in business, for business is simply a combination of details. The best man in business is the man with the greatest imagina- tion. The strongest asset a business man can have is the power of seeing what «night happen. He must also have the moral courage to go broke if necessary, and not resert to crooked work to keep afloat—C. B. Riley, President of Chicago Title and Trust Company, in Leslie’s Weekly. Vast Tract Unexplored. David George Hogarth, the geogra- pher and explorer, said in western Asia there are vast areas on which no European foot is known to have trod, nor even any European eye to have looked. The greatést unseen area lies in Arabia. Almost all the southern half of Arabia is occuzied, according to native report, by a vast wilderness called generally Ruba-ei-Khali, “Dwell- ing of the Void.” No European has ever entered this immense tract, which embraces some 600,000 square miles. It would take a bold man to yenture out for the passage of either $50 miles west to east or 650 north to sou: in the isothermal zone of the world’s greatest heat. The Avesta. In its present form the Avesta is unly a fragment of the original Zoro- astrian scriptures. It is generally un- derstood that those ancient scriptures consisted of 20 odd books of a million verses. The destruction of the two original copies, the one at~Persepotis, the other at Samarkand, is attributed to Alexander the Great. The Avesta, being only imperfect remnants of these originals, is in compass equal to about one-tenth of our Bible. The Secret. “What is the secret of leading a successful double life?” “Keeping the two lives parallel. Once they converge, the devil is to pay” Put New Blood into Your Business. The up-to-date professional adviser or business doctor, when called to examine a shrinking, declining bus- iness, often finds the patient barely alive; the circulation being so slug- gish that he can hardly find the pulse. In a desperate*case like this he says to the proprietor: “You must put new blood into this business. There is no life in it. There is no energy, no push, no enterprise here. When & patient gets as low as this one, there are only two things to do, let him die, or infuse new blood into his veins and try to resuscitate him.”—Success Magazine. The New England Spirit. In every crisis that has come t this country the “New England spirit has risen to the top. It may, have been dormant for a time, but when- ever the necessity arose it manifested itself. In the great internecine strug- gle it predominated; in more recent times it has asserted itself. The pil- grim bleod and the pilgrim spirit have overcome all difficulties. Without them the west would be 2 wilderness. The pioneers of the westesa states were actuated by the spirit that set- tled New England—Denver Republi.
