FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 13 1909 FIVE CENTS A COPY PRIVATE CAR TOUR OF STATE REGISTER W. T. VERNON IN OKLAHOMA. Travels the New State in Private Car, Accompanied by Leading Citizens —Delivers Addresses to Great Crowds at Principal Cities. The colored citizens of Oklahoma, because of the restrictive measures and discriminatory legislation, have been making an organized effort to protect themselves from the encroachment of that element in the state who are apparently opposed to the progress of the negro citizens. An organization headed by Honorable E. T. Barbour of El Reno and others, secured the services of Register Vernon, who was met by a company of the most distinguished citizens of Oklahoma, at Caldwell, Kan., in a private car, secured for the accommodation of the entire party. This aroused the interest of all Oklahoma and from the beginning of the journey across the state and back again, the register and party were given an ovation. It was necessary at Hennessy, Okla., for Mr. Vernon to respond to the call for a rear-end speech and the train pulled out amid the applause of the multitude gathered there. Finally they reached El Reno and a large crowd of citizens, white and colored, met them at the train. The school children sang as they marched through the streets and the procession inspired by the music made its way to the place of meeting. That night the opera house was filled with people of both races. Representative citizens, headed by the mayor of El Reno, occupied prominent seats in the audience. Register Vernon was entertained in the home of Lawyer Barbour. A delightful collation was served to the party, including the register, President Inman Page of Langston University, W. H. Jernigan and others. Next day found this party on the road to Kingfisher, where, after a cordial reception, all repaired to the court house, where federal officeholders and other leading citizens were eager to hear Mr. Vernon. Honorable E. O. Tyler, a distinguished attorney of this place, was the presiding genius on this occasion. Here Mr. Vernon delivered a speech to the business men and the farming element, so largely represented among our people. From there they proceeded to Guthrie, the state capital, and were met by thousands at the station, preceded by the Langston University band, marched through the streets to Guth- rie, to where the public reception was held. That night the leading opera house was filled from pit to dome with the citizens of the capital. Here the register dwelt especially upon the necessity of giving equal rights to all citizens, regardless of race or color, making an appeal for fair play for his people. After the speaking the special car proceeded to Coyle; from there the party was transferred to Langston University, where the evening was spent. Next morning the students were assembled and were addressed by the register and other. The car was transferred to the Santa Fe tracks. By invitation the register and party called on Governor Haskell of the new state and discussed with him matters affecting the races. They then journeyed on to Oklahoma City, the metropolis of the state. That night thousands were present to hear Mr. Vernon, who specially encouraged the people of the new state to remain in Oklahoma despite discouragements at the present time. The great meeting in Convention hall was followed by a banquet given to the register and party. The register and party were given a trolley ride over the city by the Chamber of Commerce, including the mayor, city officials and others. The private car was then transferred to the Katy tracks and they proceeded to Muskogee, the haven for negroes in the new state. Here they were met by Hon. A. G. W. Sango, Judge W. H. Twine and others, and a committee of prominent citizens who conducted the party to the place of meeting. A large audience filled Vango opera house that evening, where it was said by those present that Mr. Vernon there surpassed all his previous efforts. Banker Johnson entertained Register Vernon and party at dinner. The gentlemen in the party accompanied Mr. Vernon to Parsons, Kan., returning to their homes in the state, while he left to visit his institution at Quindaro, and to be present at the Lincoln Day exercises in the capital of his state. The entire trip was made without a hitch. Mr. Edward McDaniels of South McAlester, a progressive negro railroad contractor, having in charge the transportation facilities, was with the register on the entire trip. Mr. Vernon's trip to the state has been a source of inspiration to the people of the new state. It has served to bring Continued on last page WYOMING'S METROPOLIS CHEYENNE, WYO., NEWS. It has been so long since we have sent you any items that we hardly know where to begin. So many, many things, good, bad and indifferent, have taken place since last we wrote you that to expedite matters and also to give a more complete an account that will not appear so obsolete we will write you a letter instead of sending news in themized form. The thoughts of death always send a chill to our hearts, although we may know for weeks beforehand that we are soon to lose loved one, yet when the Reaper comes, he leaves a cold and desolate feeling in our hearts. 'Tis sweet to fall asleep in Jesus. Just so did our dear sister, Mrs. Nora Taylor, pass away. She left mother, father, sisters, brothers and three dear children, among legions of other friends to mourn her loss and to rejoice, rejoice in heaven's gain and that the battle was bravely fought and that she knoweth blessed peace, joy and rest. Dear old Mother Newman has, too, gone to join the ranks of the redeemed; her demise was very sudden, being ill only a few hours. Her little granddaughter was taken East by her aunt, who came from Pittsburg to attend the funeral. There has been a great deal of sickness in our community this winter. Both Mrs. Jiggetts and Mother Hopkins have been unable to be out for some time. Mr. James Smith passed through a trying and severe illness, which left him confined for several weeks. You no doubt have learned that Mrs. H. C. Jefferson, our Searchlight Club president, is much improved since her severe attack of nasal hemorrhage a few weeks ago, and that we soon hope to enjoy her cheerful presence in our club room again. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Smith have been rejoicing since Thanksgiving over the arrival of a dear little daughter and sister in their home. And speaking of Thanksgiving reminds us that a certain young man, bearing the name of Q. J. Gilmore was a pleasant visitor in our city on that date. At whose home? That of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hopkins, the guest of one of our dear girls, their charming daughter, Miss Eva B. Hopkins. Is Christmas too long past for you to hear a little of "goings" on at that time? It seemed a very Merry Christ- mas for everyone. Mrs. C. G. Ashford and Mrs. J. E. Smith took the lead in entertaining. Both these ladies entertained delightfully at dinner parties. The children of the Sunday school enjoyed their usual "tree," the tree this year being a very artistically decorated ladder. During the holidays Miss Rosetta Brown, the sister of Mrs. E. F. Landor, returned to her home in Blanchard, Ia., after a pleasant four months' visit. Miss Katheryn Turner, the charming niece of Mrs. J. E. Smith, accompanied by Miss Mao Smith, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Smith, visited at her home in Hamburg, Ia. They also spent several pleasant days with friends in Omaha and other points in Nebraska. Is the Searchlight Club still in existence? Indeed, yes, and many have been the pleasant meetings at the various homes of the members. Last Thursday the club enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. H. H. Jones, the wife of our A. M. E. church pastor. A delightful afternoon was spent. The members of the club, together with their husbands and friends, recently enjoyed a rare treat. Mrs. L. M. Froman, our state president, paid us a visit. The regular club meeting was held at the home of Mrs. J. E. Smith, where, after the routine of business, Mrs. Froman laid before the club her plans for the entertainment of the delegates to the convention, which convenes here in June. Mrs. Smith served a very delectable luncheon at the close of the meeting. The table was beautiful in its furnishings of snowy napery, cut glass and dainty china. In the evening, at A. O. U. W. hall, a program was rendered which consisted of a song by the members of the club, invocation by Rev. H. H. Jones, vocal solos by Mrs. J. E. Smith and Mrs. E. F. Landor, readings from Dunbar by Mrs. Curtis A. Ward and piano selections by Miss Eva B. Hopkins and Mrs. J. A. Baker. Mrs. Clara G. Ashford, the founder of our club, acted as mistress of ceremonies and very ably and gracefully performed her duty. Her introduction of the guest of honor was food for thought, and Mrs. Froman's response did not disappoint her hearers. It is not often that we are privileged to enjoy such a forceful, appealing and convincing address as the one delivered to us by Mrs. Froman. At the conclusion of her remarks, Mrs. Ashford, in the name of the husbands of the club Seeing the Soul. As for seeing the soul—that is a common human experience. Lovers have only to look in each other's eyes, they think, to behold the other's soul. The eye is very much more than the iris and the retina and the rest of the optical apparatus. The eye reserves always a guest chamber for the presence of the soul, and when the soul is there it is easy enough to recognize the fact of its occupancy. A Black Eye for Home. It is a coming fashion to hire a hall to entertain your friends, to give dinner parties in a hotel, to be married in a church, to be taken to a hospital when you are sick and to an undertaker's as soon as you die, and left there until the funeral. The tendency is to conduct all public occasions away from home. The home is getting a black eye.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe. A Musical Thief. At Birmingham, England, where tens of thousands of jewsharps are made every year, a boy has been arrested for stealing 2,000 in one haul. As he could play only one at a time, it puzzles the police to know why he should take so many at once. Perhaps he wanted some to lay away for his old age, or maybe he was going to invent a way to work them with his toes. Original Wedding Cake. It is said to be a curious fact that the wedding cake, that elaborate, indigestible compound so indispensable at the modern marriage ceremony, is the direct descendant of a cake made of water, flour and salt, of which, at the Roman high-class weddings, the married couple and the witnesses partook at the time of the signing of the contract.—Housekeeping. Only Two Left. A London writer has come to the front with a mass of documentary evidence to prove that Robin Hood was a real personage. Thank goodness! The iconoclast his wiped out everybody else. This leaves us two—the Outlaw of Sherwood Forest and Ananias.—New York Herald. A Humble Suggestion. Scientists say the white ant lays 80,000 eggs a month. Would it, we desire to ask, would it be possible to cross the white ant with the Plymouth Rock hen?—Topeka Capital. Progressive Arizona. Very soon railroads will be so thick in Cochise county that you can't step out of a night without catching your foot in a frog and getting run over.— Tombstone Epitaph. Hospitality. Hospitality: Regarded as a sacred duty by the savages of America until the invasion of European manners. Still practiced by Scotchmen in comic operas.—Charles Narrey. The Chastening of Experience. Widows make the best wives, because they have learned not to expect too much from man.—Florida Times-Union. Smirch Ever Remains. Whoever has even once become notorious by base fraud, even if he speaks the truth, gains no belief.— Phaedrus, THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Town May Purchase Relics. The city of Coventry, England, noted as the city of Godiva the fair, is thinking over a proposition to buy the old gates from their private owner. The fortifications of the city were begun in 1355, and finished 40 years later. They were kept in good repair until 1662. There was a wall three miles in circumference and having 32 towers. Sexton Dug His Own Grave. The death occurred at Barwell, near Nuneaton, recently of John Needham, the oldest bell-ringer in England, who celebrated his ninety-sixth birthday a few months ago. As sexton of Barwell he had dug 2,500 graves and been present at 600 weddings. Some years ago he dug his own grave and therein he was interred.—London Daily Mail. Camel Works Hard. From the beginning of the journey to its end a camel is never relieved of its load. It eats, walks and sleeps under its burden, often for weeks at a time. The training of a camel is no easy matter, as it takes about three years to teach it to bend the knees in order to be loaded and unloaded. Civilization Advancing. The introduction of fried strawberries marks the furthest reach of civilization. When people crave a delicacy that is a desecration of all that is fresh and sweet and wholesome in the natural life, they are far, far gone in civilization.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Waste of Natural Gas. Louisiana is said to waste 75,000.000 cubic feet of natural gas daily more than one-twentieth of that consumed in the United States, and the secretary of the interior has withdrawn from entry 6,500 acres of natural gas fields. Avoid Habit of Gossip. The gossip habit is pernicious. Remark the the family that they are breaking one of the commandments—"Thou shalt not bear false witness" and it may set them to thinking. Gossip usually has an element of untruth in it. Time Changes Everything. It beats all, how time changes things. A few years ago a woman nearly went into hysterics at the sight of an automobile; now she almost goes into them if she does not own one.—Meggendorfer Blaetter. Childhood's Unfailing Joy. As long as there are children in the world the golden and objectless occupation of make-believe will go on; the pursuit of delight itself, untrammeled by rules or purpose.—Eton College Chronicle. Woman's Tears. Lot's wife is merely a geological specimen, according to Dr. J. F. Wright of Oberlin college. The salt in woman's tears may no doubt be traced to the same source.—Brooklyn Eagle. Uncle Eben. "By one of dem wise provisions of nature," said Uncle Eben, "a man dat thinks he's too good to work ain' generally competent to do work dat 'ud amount to nuffin' nohow."—Washington Star.

Paul Revere may not have made that famous ride, but there can be no dispute about what happened next day.—Milwaukee Sentinel. Russia's Great Monolith. The greatest monolith of modern times is the Alexander column in Admiralty square, St. Petersburg. It is 80 feet in height and weighs 400 tons. Fox's Keen Scent. If the wind be favorable, a fox can scent a man a quarter of a mile away. Money in Pearl Industry. Three thousand persons are engaged in the shell and pearl industry of the western United States. Seen from a Balloon. The occupants of a balloon a mile high command a radius of 96 miles. The Only One. It is said that ostriches are excessively fond of a diet of oranges. The ostrich is believed to be the only known two-legged creature that can eat an orange without spattering. One Exception. In case at Southwark his honor Judge Willis remarked: "I believe in accepting a woman's word—except, perhaps, in some instances connected with dress."—London Standard. Let Charity be Anonymous. Let your charitable gifts be anonymous gifts. These have the double advantage of suppressing at once ingratitude and abuse.—Alexander Dumas. The Superior Sex. Generally a woman's reason for doing a thing is she hasn't any, and it turns out much better than with a man who has.New York Press. French Writer's Idea. It is often woman who inspires us with the great things that she will prevent us from accomplishing.—Alexander Dumas. She Knows! Even if you don't tell a girl she is pretty when she isn't she knows it's because you are bashful.—New York Press. National Sweet Tooth. The United States consumes more than half of the world's production of sugar. This means 6,000,000,000 pounds a year. Holland: No nation can be destroyed while it possesses a good home life.

Started in the Wrong Place. Sometimes a man who determines to commit suicide puts it off just a bit too long. A man in a Pennsylvania town shot his wife, her brother and the latter's wife and then killed himself. If he had fired the first shot into his own brain three other persons would have escaped dangerous wounds, and perhaps death. He began shooting at the wrong place. Montgomery Advertiser. The Size of It. "It's dish-u-way, sah," explained old Brother Swank to the befuddled friend: "Orthodoxy am de doxy dat I makes muhsef—dat I's de orthor of, yo' un'erstand. Uh-well, and dis yuh hectordoxy am de udder man's doxy dat he's allus un-hectorin' me wid. Do dat make it cla'r to yo' apprehension, Brudder Tarr?"—Puck. Neglecting the Eyes. Neglect of the eyes may result not only in poor sight, but in a poor skin. Neglect of the eyes, weakening of the eyes, causes wrinkles, screws up the face in a most unbeautifying fashion, and adds scores of tiny crowsfeet about the face and forehead. Training the Memory. If men only realized how great an asset in life is a retentive memory they would take care to see that their chlidren's memories were properly trained. The simplest method consists in learning every day a few lines by heart. Gotham's Divorce Statistics. New York city has its average number of divorces as compared with the cities of the United States. Chicago is the only city that is proportionately ahead of it. In New York there are two persons divorced to every 26 married. In Lapland. A Cleveland judge has ruled that a young girl has a perfect right to sit on her sweetheart's knee. This seems fair enough, but can't a man even ask her to get off when his foot's asleep?—Detroit Free Press. Always End to Sorrow. A young man cannot be cast down by grief and misfortune ever so severe but some night he begins to sleep sound, and some day when dinner time comes to feel hungry for a beef-steak. Thackeray. These Poor Rich. It is only the poor that are generous. The rich cannot give; they have so many wants, so many necessary superfluities, these poor rich.—Alphonse Karr. Fine Recommendation. That Massachusetts man who says he hasn't drank a drop of water for many years and whose only beverage is milk must have an honest milkman. Effective Bottle for Poison. A patent has been granted to a California man for a poison bottle with the sides covered with sharp points. Only One Woman. Never say man, but men; nor women, but woman; for the world has thousands of men, and only one woman.— Jean Jacques Weiss. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO, «: Clever Scheme. “Our sales of indigestion tablets are falling off rapidly,” said the propri- etor of the patent medicine establish- ment. “We must do something to counteract it.” “Why not start a fac- tory for the manufacture of chafing dishes?” suggested the advertising ex- pert.—Philadelphia Record. Needleless Compass. To avoid the trouble besetting com- passes on steel ships, the metal of which deflects the needle, a German inventor has devised a needleless one in the form of a gyroscope, the axis of which always adjusts itself par- allel to the earth’s axis. On a Mileage Basis. The proprietor of a restaurant in Munich has adopted a novel method of paying his waiters. Instead of re- ceiving a fixed salary each man will be paid according to the number of miles which he covers in the course of his work. Many in a Minute. In one of the big Swiss lace manu- factories there is a new machine which threads 1,000 needles a minute, ties the knot for each, cuts the thread off at a uniform length, and then car- ries the needle along and sticks it into a cushion. Contrary. There is a man in Atchison so con- trary that you dare not suggest any- thing to him; {ff it is raining and you suggest that he seek cover, he will remain out in the rain, to show his independence.—Atchison Globe. Truth or Fiction? “Ah! What a difference there is,” remarked the Cynic wearily, “between courtship and marriage. Courtship is made up of soft nothings—mar- rage of hard facts.” And he broke the world’s record for a sigh. Exercising the Dog. “John!” The footman inclined his head — deferentially “John, — step toward Fido and speak a kind word to him, to make him wag his tail. He has had no exercise to-day.” Revealed by the Face. It has been proved that strong thoughts realize themselves in words and acts. If you think bitterly you will soon show it in your face and verify {t with your tongue. A Flattering Interest. James was watching a man paint 4 house. He seemed to be very in- terested, when he said to the painter: “Fall down and see how fast you will come."—The Delineator. Perhaps, If a woman didn't occasionally go wrong, the good ones would be so proud that there would be no living with them.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe. Stop Nosebleed. Place a piece of brown or tissue pa- per over the teeth of the upper jaw and the bleeding will stop at once— a@ recipe worth knowing. An Excuse. Little Fritzie—If you please, papa, don't whip me so hard—remember how it hurts mamma!—Meggendorfer Blaetter. AT SUMMIT OF GREAT VOLCANO. Crater of Mount Etna Well Worth Visit of Traveler. We were taught to spell it Aetna, but the “a” has been dropped by geog- raphers. The Arabians who discovered it gave it the name of “Gibello,” signi- fying a mountain. The natives stuck a “monte” before it, hence “Monte Gi- bello," a mount-mountain. An abbre viation is “Mongibello.” A pyramidal rock forms the summit of. the great volcano, of which the crater is over nine miles in circumference and 750 feet deep. Many strangers visit the mountain, but few ever reach its fro- zen top, so much do the difficulties and dangers increase after passing the first region of snow. Not many years ago an English tourist who reached the crater was rash enough to descend it by means of ropes attached to his waist. He was drawn up suf- focated, after having given the signal to his guides. These were unable to restore hin: to life. Separating Listeners. “One thing must be stated clearly in the contract,’ said the woman who was having a party telephone line put in her apartment, “the other party must be some one who does not live in thts house. I am willing to share the line with a stranger, but not with neighbors who know me well enough to take an interest in my affairs.” “You may be perfectly easy in your mind on that point, madam,” said the agent. “We never put two subscrib- ers in the same house on the same line. The company learned long azo that such a plan does not work well. | You are not the only person who ob. jects. In fact, everybody objects, and the company never makes such an arrengement of lines. We expect to put you on a wire with a subscriber in the next block.” Want Open-Air Schools. The clubwomen of New Jersey are interesting themselves in the open-air school for children that is being ad- vocated by Dr, Alexander McAllister, a physician of Camden, N. J, as a means for curing and.preventing tuber- culosis. Dr, McAllister declares that it wou'd be entirely feasible to have the studies of children conducted out of doors—in the yards of the schools, for instance, from the latter part of May to the close of the school term, and from the beginning of the schoo! term well into October. The club- women have expressed their deter. mination to see that the idea has a fair trial. The first experiment, it is said, will be made in Camden un- der the direction of Dr. McAllister. Insults for Lord Milner. Lord Milnér is said to possess such an even temper that it is almost im- possible to ruffle it, and thereby hangs a tale. Many years ago he worked under Mr. W. T. Stead on a London newspaper, and one day young Milner addressed a meeting in the East end of London, when an insulting remark made by one of the audience roused him. Urged on by his natural indigna. tion, he made an exceptionally bril- liant speech. On hearing of the inci- dent later, Mr, Stead remarked: “Well, Milner, I wish to goodness I knew how to insult you every day be- fore you start work.” Resid: nce Phone No. 15. Office Phone No. 1423.

Mr. and Mrs. Dan Austin have taken up 160 acres of government land a short time ago and last week they moved out to their new home. We would like to see more of our people taking up more of this good land that surrounds our city before it is too late. Mrs. Gertrude Lockett, who has been doing hair dressing work in our city for several weeks, left for San Bernardino, Cal., last Thursday evening, where her parents reside. Mrs. Geo.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Faucett, through the evil disease of scarlet fever lost their two infant children, a boy, age two years, and a girl, three years old. The entire community sympathizes with Mr. and Mrs. Faucett in their hour of deep bereavement. The scarlet fever seems just at present to have a hold on the city that the doctors find trouble in checking. W. H. Prince, one of our most intelligent pulpit orators and presiding elder, was a welcome visitor to our city last Sunday. The A. M.

The quarterly meeting was held the following Monday evening and the quarterly reports much gain in the church work Rev. Prince, presiding elder of the Pueblo District, held his quarterly meeting at Grant Chapel on Coal avenue. The services were well attended, religious fervor prevailed throughout the services. Too much cannot be said in praise of the choir, which rendered the music at the evening services. In the afternoon the baptism of infants occurred. The three infants of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Durham were baptized. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Bunson was baptized. The church has made rapid strides both spiritually and financially under the leadership of Rev. James Washington and it is our earnest wish that the good work will continue. On Monday evening the Quarterly Conference convened at Grant Chapel, after which Rev. Prince departed for Phoenix, Ariz. Mr. and Mrs. T. M.

The evening was enjoyably spent. At the present time it is a question whether New Mexico shall become a state at this session of Congress or not, but sooner or latter we will be admitted into the Union and on the eve of our being admitted it is to be hoped that the jealousy existing between the negroes within the territory will not be the cause of their posterity not receiving through the first constitution all the blessing of a free American citizen, forever. Noting the present attitude of some of the negroes in our first effort in making a few preliminary steps we see the selfishness of a few narrow-sighted negroes cropping out. If there ever was a time that the negro should get together "this is the time." For God's sake don't let our own foolishness be the cause of our not being considered in our first constitution. If we make a mistake now our unborn generation will suffer. We cannot afford to make a blunder. Selfishness has prompted some to say that we should not make our desires known to the press. Let me say the press is the sentiment-maker. A question of this kind cannot be done under the cover. Let's get the people with us by fair and honorable methods. The eyes of the world are upon us, anxious to know what the New Mexico negro is doing at this time, so don't do things that we will be ashamed of. Let's be men. Come together, talk together and let's act together. Don't get petty politics injected with questions of this kind. Our manhood is at stake.

In making the usual dish of corn starch, which is bound to appear on the table of all growing children once in so often, try this: In place of the usual amount of sugar added to it, sweeten with a cup of maple sirup, and the boys are sure to call for "more." Banana croquettes—This is a nourishing dish, easily prepared at a few minutes' notice. Peel and scrape ripe bananas. Cut each one in two pieces and cut off the sharp end, making them look like a croquette. Roll them in chopped nuts of any kind—either peanuts, hickory or walnuts. Lay on a leaf of lettuce and serve with a little French dressing containing a great deal of olive oil. This is a splendid luncheon dish for the hungry schoolboy. Roast veal and ham—Purchase two medium thick veal cutlets, rather small in circumference. On one of them place a thick slice of ham and cover with the other cutlet—just as you would make a sandwich. Place in a roasting pan and cook in a hot oven at first to sear the meat, then reduce the heat to moderation. Baste frequently. The gravy of this dish is delicious and the flavor of the meat combination is sure to appeal to the boys of the family. Meat loaf—Pass through the chop- Automobi J. H. GA Phone Phone Main 3725. Q. J. G Undertaker a per sufficient cold meat of any kind, veal, beef, chicken or lamb, to make three cupfuls when packed. Season very highly. Add a teaspoonful of celery seed, and some onion juice, and finally half a cup of stale bread crumbs, teaspoon of chopped parsley and two well-beaten eggs. Pack into a loaf and place on a shallow buttered pan. With a wooden skewer make holes along the top of the loaf and insert strips of fat salt pork, allowing the pork to project about half an inch above the surface, and be sure to pack the meat firmly back around it. Bake in a quick oven about three-quarters of an hour, set aside to cool and serve in slices very cold with relishes of pickles or catsup. This makes a splendid and substantial luncheon dish for the boys. Indian tapioca pudding—Many of the boys are tired of the old-fashioned Indian pudding that grandmother used to make, but this is sure to please them. Soak five tablespoonfuls of tapioca for two hours in water enough to cover it. Pour four cups of scalded milk over four tablespoons of Indian meal with three-quarters of a cup of molasses. Add half teaspoon of salt and cook in double boiler for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tapioca, which should be drained free from all water, and three tablespoons of butter. Turn all out into buttered baking dish and pour over it one cup of cold milk, but do not stir it through. Bake in a very slow oven, from an hour to an hour and a half. Serve hot with thin cream. Lamb Cutlets with Carrots. Trim the cutlets neatly, egg and breadcrumb them and fry them in lard till a light brown color; drain and arrange them in a circle on a dish, placing in the center some new carrots, prepared as follows: Trim a quantity of the smallest new carrots that can be obtained and boll them in salted water. When done drain off the water, add a piece of fresh butter to the carrots, some parsley, finely minced, a dash of pepper, a little powdered sugar and a squeeze of lemon; moisted with a little stock, free from fat, and keep them hot until wanted. le for Hire NNAWAY main 776 Licensed Embalmer No. 234. LMORE nd Embalmer FORMER MEMBER OF THE COLORADO CONFERENCE MAKES GOOD IN THE NORTH- Report of African Methodists Indicates Unusual Prosperity—Stewards and Trustees Commend Pastor. The African Methodist Episcopal church enjoyed the most prosperous three months during the last quarter of the year 1908, in its history, according to the report submitted by the stewards and trustees at the quarterly meeting held January 19. The financial showing is 136 per cent. better than for the corresponding period of 1908. The work of Rev. W. T. Osborne, the pastor, is especially commended. The report says: "The pastor merits the confidence of his members, for he is preaching the gospel in its purity and has done nothing without the advice and approval of the officers." The receipts for the quarter were $791.82, while the disbursements amounted to $689.18. A noticeable feature of the report is the Woman's Mite Missionary Society, which contributed $117. The report is signed by Isaiah Allen, R. S. Blassingame, A. H. Hall, S. H. Hall, J. H. Heath, Abner Jones, Ed Lawson, G. W. Turner, J. W. Sweeney and W. M. J. Wylie, stewards and trustees. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE B YALLIANCE. Whereas, An Allwise Providence has seen fit to remove from our midst, February 5, our much beloved friend and brother, Braklin Henry Bryant, who was true to his convictions and a loyal lover of humanity and his fellowmen. Whereas, The Peojle's Sunday Alliance realize in his death we lost a faithful member, a true friend and a broad-minded public-spirited citizen. Whereas, We will sadly miss him in our councils, we feel assured that he has been called to a happier sphere of life unseen and yet eternal; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the officers and members of the Alliance, tender their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved wife and father in the loss of their loved one.

SOME TOAST IDEAS VARIOUS APPETIZING WAYS OF PREPARING IT. Of Course Stale Bread Should Always Used—Served with Eggs It is a Change from Usual Buttered Style. German Toast.—Beat three eggs slightly. Add two tablespoons of milk to each egg, one-half teaspoon salt, two tablespoons sugar. Cut stale bread in half-inch thick slices, remove the crust, dip the slices into egg mixture. Cook on a well-greased griddle, using equal parts of lard and butter; brown on one side; then turn and brown on the other side. Serve with maple syrup for breakfast or luncheon, or with apricot sauce for desert. Stale sponge cake may be used in the same manner. Dry Toast.—Cut stale bread in one-third inch slices. Remove the crust, or not, as you desire. Lay slices on the broiler some distance from the gas flame, and toast the bread, turning often until it is evenly browned. If a toaster is used and a coal fire, the slices may be placed in the toaster, the latter locked, and placed over clear fire to dry, holding it a safe distance from coals. Turn and dry opposite side; then lower the toaster near the coals, and brown the bread a rich color. If you stack the toast, one slice on top of the other, toast will soon become moist. Toast may or may not be buttered before sending it to the table. Moistened Toast.—Add one-half teaspoon salt to one cup boiling water; turn water into a shallow sauce pan, and keep water just below the boiling point. With a fork dip each slice of toast into the water and spread with soft butter. Serve at once on a hot plate. Milk Toast.—Dilute three tablespoons of bread with cold water to MISS BEATRICE LEWIS 1219 W. EIGHTH AVE.

Add this slowly to two and one-half cups of scalded milk in double boiler, stirring constantly until thickened. Cover and cook 20 minutes. Season with salt and add two and one-half tablespoons butter. Dip six slices of toast, one at a time, into the sauce. When soft remove to hot platter and strain remaining sauce over all. Cream Toast.—Make a cream sauce as follows: Melt four tablespoons butter in a sauce pan; add three tablespoons flour; stir to a smooth paste; let cook one minute; then dilute with one cup each of scalded milk and thin cream, or al cream. Season with salt, and dip toast as for milk toast. Marigold Toast.—Follow recipe for cream toast. Arrange slices and sauce on hot serving platter. Slice the whites of hard cooked eggs in rings and arrange them around the rim of platters. Put the yolks in a potato ricer and press them over the top of all. Sprinkle with paprika and serve at once. Brown Bread Toast.—Prepare a cream sauce as in the foregoing, using slices of brown bread in place of white bread. First dry the slices of brown bread in the oven, after which toast it and dip into sauce. Serve as milk toast. Take two dozen clams, one egg, one cupful of milk, two small cupfuls of flour, or enough to make a thin batter, salt and pepper. Chop clams fine and stir them into batter made of the milk, clam liquor, beaten eggs and flour. Season to taste and fry by the spoonful in very hot lard. Porter's Shining ParlOr Strictly first-class.

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 Mall $752.

With Fish, Lamb or Pork as the Piece de Resistance. Take a medium sized fish (fresh), wash clean, stuff with dressing. As for turkey sew up, rub with flour, pepper and salt, lay slices of bacon on top, put a little water in pan, baste often, bake in hot oven half to three-quarters of hour. Serve with drawn butter sauce. Baked Potatoes.—Eight or nine medium potatoes washed in warm water, rub well with lard or butter. Bake three-quarters hour. Baked Corn and Tomatoes.—Cut the kernels from six ears of corn, take six ripe tomatoes, with skin removed, slice one inch thick, have ready a baking dish, put a layer of corn, one pepper and salt on top, then tomatoes prepared in same manner, then corn and so on until dish is full, put lots of butter and bread crumbs or bits of shredded wheat on top. Bake half an hour in hot oven. Baked Apple Cottage Pudding.—Beat half a cup of sugar and half a cup of butter (or lard mixed) to a cream, one teaspoonful vanilla, one beaten egg, three-quarters cup of milk, one heaping teaspoonful baking powder sifted in two cups of flour; place slices of pared apple in greased pan and pour mixture over them; bake half an hour in not too hot oven. Serve hot with whipped cream flavored w.th vanilla. If fish is not desired a shoulder of lamb or pork with bone removed and stuffed in like manner is also delicious. Dishes That the "Kiddies" Will Be Sure to Enjoy. Brown Bean Soup.—Soak one pint brown beans over night, cook three hours in slowly boiling water, mash well, add milk to thin, then butter, pepper, salt, and sugar in such quantity as to cut the crude taste of beans. When in tureen slice over a lemon. Serve with toasted, buttered crackers. Beet Hash.—Several cold beets chopped, equal amount of cold potatoes, boiled if possible in corned beef liquor and chopped. Mix as for meat hash and heat, seasoning with butter pepper and salt. Hamburger Steak.—Get 15 cents' worth of round steak and have it run through the machine. Over an equal quantity of stale bread pour sufficient milk to soften; mix meat and bread together, season with salt and pepper; shape into cakes and fry brown. In mixing be careful not to mix bread and meat until they become soggy. Suet Pudding.—Three cups flour, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, one cup chopped suet, one cup stiff batter. Pour into well greased double boiler and cook three hours. Serve with liquid sauce. Chicken Boudins. For one pint of cold minced chicken allow one tablespoonful of butter, half a cup of dry bread crumbs, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, half a cup of water, whites of two eggs; quarter of a grated nutmeg, a pinch of sage and salt and pepper to taste. Heat the butter and add the bread crumbs; stir over a hot fire until the crumbs begin to brown, then remove from fire and add the water, then the minced chicken, the seasoning and last the eggs beaten to a froth; blend thoroughly, then put the mixture into a pan and bake in a moderate oven for half an hour; then pour over it a THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD CREAM BURGE, AND SERVE. Chicken boudins are delicious served cold with salad dressing. Baltimore Whip. Grate the rind of two lemons and squeeze out the juice; add two teaspoonfuls of vanilla, one cup of pulverized sugar, whites of two eggs, and the yolks of four eggs. Beat for ten minutes. Dissolve two boxes of gelatine in a cup of warm water; when cool add to other ingredients drop by drop, then fold in the well-beaten whites of four eggs, beating constantly. Serve with orange juice, sweetened, and maraschino sirup. Devonshire Puffs. This is an old-fashioned recipe that I always find popular. Peel and bake some apples, when cold mix the pulp, free from cores, with sufficient sugar to sweeten and a little grated lemon peel. Make some nice short crust, lay the prepared apple on a square of paste, and fold it over so as to form a three-cornered puff. Bake in a quick oven for 20 minutes. Sift white sugar over and serve. Starch Polish. Take one ounce of spermaceti, one ounce of white wax, melt and run into a thin cake on a plate. A piece the size of a quarter of a dollar added to a quart of prepared starch will give a beautiful luster to the clothes and keep the irons from sticking. A Glossy Starch. A laundress recently told the secret of her glossy, smooth-looking starch; when it came to a good boil she added a small piece of butter the size of a walnut. This not only gives a nice finish, makes ironing easier, but prevents the starch from boiling over. Tongue Sandwiches Chop fine cold boiled tongue, season with prepared mustard and black pepper. Add melted butter and sweet cream until smooth like paste. Then spread between slices of buttered bread. Mustard Sauce. Four tablespoonfuls of mustard, one tablespoon of sugar, one teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Mix with boiling water to consistency of thick paste and thin with vinegar. Give, Never Lend. Give money, never lend any. The giving makes ingrates only, the lending makes enemies. — Alexandre Dumas. Dangerous.

Now when the Pittsburger's friend asks him for a letter of introduction, he takes the friend to the nearest photographer and is photographed with him in an attitude of presentation. Then he writes his note on the picture.

Place in a casserole two tablespoonfuls butter, a carrot and an onion (both cut into slices), two bay leaves and a sprig of thyme. Set the casserole on top of the stove for about ten minutes or until the vegetables are lightly browned in the butter. Pour in then a pint of well seasoned consomme, cover the casserole closely, put it into the oven and braise the chicken for three-quarters of an hour. Ten minutes before the time is up, add two tablespoonfuls of sherry or Madeira and cover again. At the end of three-quarters of an hour drop into the gravy a dozen or more of small potato balls which have been cut from the raw potatoes with a Parisian cutter, and then brown, or saute in butter. At the same time, add an equal number of French champignons. Season gravy with pepper and salt and leave the cover off the casserole that the chicken may brown. After removing it from the oven, sprinkle finely minced parsley over chicken and send it to the table in the casserole. COFFEE IS DISPLACING TEA Takes Place of Latter Beverage at Afternoon Functions. The number of alluring coffee sets as Christmas presents point to the fact that this drink is becoming more fashionable than tea for the afternoon. This is a German and a Dutch fashion, and a palatable one. Americans are coffee drinkers, and are quite willing to add another cup to their usual supply. Just how healthful it is is left for the doctors to say. Certainly afternoon tea is as indigestible a thing as most people can drink. It takes off the appetite for dinner and creates as much nervousness as coffee.

To all men, and to the majority of women, it is a far more palatable and stimulating drink than five-o'clock tea. At any rate girls are serving it in fashionable parlors, people at the restaurants are drinking it, and all sorts of ware is being made up into afternoon coffee sets. The person who knows good coffee knows too much to make or serve it in anything except earthen or china ware. The metal coffee pot is injurious to the taste and should be avoided. Required: One pound flour, dried and sifted, one tablespoonful of caster sugar, one saltspoonful of salt, half pint of hot milk, one ounce of butter, half an ounce of yeast, one egg, fat for frying. Put the sifted flour into a basin, add to it the sugar and salt. Into another basin put the hot milk and butter. When the butter is dissolved and the milk only lukewarm add half an ounce of yeast. Make a hole in the flour, stir in the liquid by degrees, adding an egg, and beating the whole till the batter is quite smooth. Stand in a warm place to rise for an hour and a half. Heat some frying fat till it gives off a blue smoke, drop in a spoonful of dough and fry a light brown. Drain and scatter sugar over. From a can of tomatoes take all the large pieces of pulp, press them through a sieve and season highly with salt, pepper, a little tarragon vinegar and a few drops of onion juice. Put this mixture in the freezer as for a water ice. Take out the dasher, work down well in the can, repack the freezer and put in the cellar for a couple of hours. Grate or chop fine some English walnuts. Serve the frozen tomato in a bed of lettuce leaves and sprinkle thickly with the walnuts.

The Denver Local of the Socialist party desires to put on record its deep sense of loss through the recent death of our Comrade Franklin H. Bryant. He was a man of unusual ability and of great force of character, an honor to the negro race, and a powerful and eloquent advocate of the Socialist ideal of a human brotherhood rising superior to race prejudice. The vigor of his intelligence and the earnestness of his spirit shone forth the more brightly in contrast with his bodily weakness. For the good cause of Socialism he gladly faced persecution. From the memory of our comrade we shall long receive inspiration. As an organization we feel distinctly weaker by the loss of this able representative of the race that has suffered so seriously under the heartless operation of the present industrial system. We express to his bereaved wife and immediate friends our sincere sympathy and assure them that we share their sorrow. THOS. L. BUIE, O. Q. BECKWORTH, H. W. PINKHAM, JESSE VETTER, LEWIS E.

Finest Quality of Meat Can Be Spoiled by Improper Handling—How to Prepare a Good Pickle at Home. While much depends upon the quality of the corned beef, even more depends upon its proper cooking. Most persons think that anyone can cook a New England boiled dinner, but there was never a greater mistake. Even with high-priced cuts rapid cooking will toughen or reduce it to a mass of strings. The brisket or loose flesh below the neck is in great demand for an economical family dinner. It is juicy and with the proper proportion of fat mixed with the lean. The rump is good for slicing cold, if one does not care for any fat, says Emma Paddock Telford in the New York Evening Telegram. The plate and navel are cheap and good for corning, though rather fat. If you do not care to corn your meat at home as most English housewives do, it is a good plan to select the cut you like and ask the butcher to corn it for you Leave the meat in this process for two or three days, no longer. A good pickle that you can make at home calls for three pounds rock salt, a quarter pound of brown sugar and a half ounce of saltpeter, with water enough to make six quarts. Boil and skim. Drop in a raw potato and if the brine is strong enough it will float. Make the day before using, so that it will be absolutely cold, when the meat goes in. Keep in a stone jar with cover, having a plate with stone on top of the meat to keep it under the brine. When ready to cook wash the meat in two or three waters, scrape, put in a pot and cover with cold water. Allow 20 minutes to each pound and turn the meat two or three times while cooking. After the meat has come to a boil and has been skimmed push back on the fire where it will simmer. If you are going to use the meat cold let it cool in the liquor in which it has been cooked. Otherwise save the liquor and put the meat left over from dinner in the pot liquor, leaving in over night. The vegetables that go with a boiled dinner are cabbage, beets, potatoes and if desired carrots or turnips. Each should be cooked separately, but with some of the pot liquor to season. Cabbage is often cooked with the meat, putting it in (quartered and cored) about an hour before the dinner is served. Beets in the summer take but 20 minutes or half an hour, but winter beets need as long or longer cooking than the meat. When serving arrange the meat in the center of a large platter, then put the vegetables in groups around the meat. Beef Tongue. Soak a fresh beef tongue in cold water an hour. Be until nearly tender. Take out and skin; put aside until cold. Put in a saucepan enough stock to cover the tongue. To this add a teaspoonful of salt, pinch of cayenne pepper, six cloves, chop one carrot, one onion and five stalks of celery fine. Add this to the stock; put in the tongue and simmer until tender. When done take out and add to the gravy one tablespoonful each of made mustard, catsup, mushrooms THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. and worcestersnire sauce, one cup port wine, two tablespoonfuls butter, mixed with three tablespoonfuls brown flour. Boil and stir until smooth. Put back the tongue and simmer ten minutes. Then place on a platter, pour the gravity over it and garnish with slices of lemons and celery leaves. Sakslooga or Salmon Pie. Eight large potatoes, two onions, two pounds of salt or pickled salmon, one dozen whole allspice, two eggs, one pint of milk. Peel and slice potatoes thin, cut salmon into dice, also the onion. Put layer of potatoes in a baking dish and layer of salmon and onion, few allspice, and so on until all is used. Lastly beat the eggs with milk and pour over, also bits of butter at the top before putting in oven. Bake one hour. If salmon is too salty, it may be soaked for two or three hours before using. Australian Pudding. Two pounds of fine bread crumbs, one pound of sultanas, one pound of currants, one pound of prunes, one pound of dried figs, one pound of raisins, one and a half pounds of suet, one pound of mixed candied peel, one and a half pounds of sugar, half a pound of flour, one teaspoonful each of salt, ginger and allspice; 12 pounded cloves, half a grated nutmeg, two wineglasses of brandy and 14 eggs, well beaten. Mix with a small bottle of stout and boil for 14 hours. Sour Milk Cake. Two eggs, well beaten, one cup sugar, one cup sour cream, one-fourth teaspoon soda, pinch of salt, one teaspoon lemon extract. Filling: One cup sour cream, thick, one cup sugar, one cup rolled nuts. Put sugar and cream together and boil until it strings, then add nuts, and after it is cool put between layers and on the top. To Clean Suits. Buy two blocks of the best magnesia; lay a sheet on the table; spread the skirt of your suit on it; rub into your skirt as much magnesia as it will take. Treat the jacket in the same way. Let the suit be folded in the sheet for a week or more, when it will be ready to brush and press. White felt hats cleaned in this way look like new. Methodical Life. A well-known and highly prosperous business man of Boston who died the other day attributed his success to his methodical life. It was carried out to the last moment of his eventful career. He was 66 years old. He died on the sixth day of the month at six minutes after six o'clock. His last birthday was observed six months before his death. The Old Philosopher. "Make up your mind to let Happiness enter with the dawn of the New Year," says the Old Philosopher, "but at that season, when he knocks at the door, some folks lay low and say nothing. There is some danger, you know, of getting Happiness mixed up with the New Year bill collector."—Atlanta Constitution. Hot Water. People do not realize the value of hot water. It will stave off an attack of indigestion or check a sudden severe pain if taken as soon as one feels the attack coming on. It will ward off a nervous headache or eyestrain, if the head or eyes are bathed in it and one is careful not to rush right out into the cold. THE NEEDMORE CLUB CALEB ALLEN, Prop. & Mgr.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

It is surprising to what an extent the motoring pastime has influenced the shape of the present day overcoat worn by the man of the street. If the ordinary individual appeared muffled up in a heavy D. B. button over overcoat with storm collar worn in conjunction with a light one piece tweed cap some five years ago, he would have been dubbed a crank or a weakly individual from the tropics.— Taflor and Cutter. Knowledge. Knowledge is like a current coin. A man is partly justified in feeling proud to possess it, if he himself worked on the gold and tried to coin it, or, at least, if he honestly obtained it as already tried and tested. But when he did not do anything, but simply received it from some passerby who had thrown it at his face, what ground has he then to be proud of it?—John Ruskin. Litters Aid to Literature. The truly literary man has a cleared space about eight inches square on a corner of his desk; in this space he does his writing. The rest of the desk is buried deep under a heap of pressing bills. When a desk looks as orderly as a race-suicide home, the chances are that the owner's literariness is assumed. No litter, no literature.—Newark Evening News. Uncle Jerry. "I shouldn't wonder," said Uncle Jerry Peebles, "if there was something in this idee that the condition of a man's teeth has a whole lot to do with his moral character. The biggest liar I ever knew in my life wore a full set of false teeth." Rural Diplomacy. "Judgin' from the price ye charged me, neighbor, ye put three gallon uv m'lasses in a two-gallon jug. Naow I ain't b'grudgin' the money, but I don't cal-late ter hev the jug stretched."—Judge. It Wouldn't Sting. A little girl of three was playing with a yellow jacket when she was told by her mother that it would sting her. She answered: "No, it won't; I'm just holding it by the leaves on its back." Old Church Now Theater. One of New York city's old chruches, built 119 years ago and known as "The Rock of Methodism," is now a vaudeville theater. It is at No. 6 Forsyth street. Status of the Monarch.

Probably no buyer of a railroad ever felt the financial glow and happiness a woman experiences when she sells a quart of milk to a neighbor.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe. Mistake In Terminology. "A boy's conscience," says a Philadelphia teacher, "is never stimulated by a spanking." Well, that's not where he's spanked.—Cleveland Leader. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. For Sore Throat. The old fashioned remedy of applying a cold compress is one of the best that can be used for sore throat. To make it, a bandage, such as a folded handkerchief, is wet in cold water and wrung—not very dry. It is then bound around the throat and over it entirely to cover the wet cloth a flannel is securely pinned to keep it in place. No part should be leit exposed or the air, striking the skin through it, will make the cold worse. India Needs Awakening. Only about one-third of the land of India is under cultivation. A portion of the other two-thirds is taken up by rivers, lakes, woods, uncultivable hills or sandy or stony plain, towns, etc. But much of the unused land might be very productive if properly managed, and especially if irrigated. India is rich in agricultural resources. If they are properly developed. It doubtless has rich mines of ore yet to be discovered.—Muzaffarpur Advocate. Not in the Natural Order. "It would be rather an odd solution of that case, wouldn't it?" "What solution of what case?" "If the Thaw case should turn out a frost." A Distinction. "Do you think a man should go into politics as a profession?" "No," answered Senator Sorghum; "not as a profession. But he should be a good hand at a trade." Spreading the Gospel! A missionary deaconess in Liberia has edited in native dialect a book containing the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the doxology and a number of the best known hymns. The book is not only the first book published in the dialect, but the first successful attempt to make it a written language. Disadvantage of Beauty. "One disadvantage of being good looking," said the woman who admits that she knows she is handsome, "is that I never get a chance to beat my way on the street cars. Just because I am good looking the conductor spots me when I enter the car and he hustles right up to ask for my fare." The Last Word. A good deal of fuss is going on in the "culchawed" crowd about a claim that Paul Revere never made his famous midnight ride. "H'm," murmurs C. E. Ingalls, "doesn't the poem say 'Scarcely a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year?"—Kansas City Journal. Consider Us Optimists. Americans, both men and women, are more equable, genial and smooth tempered than Europeans because they do not take life au grand serieux, but always see the humorous side of every situation. However untoward, in which they happen to find themselves.—London Sketch. The Boy Was Going Some. A novel experiment to demonstrate the practicability of apneumatic carrier was recently tried in Chicago. The "parcel" shot through a short length of sample tube was a 13-year-old boy. He traveled at the rate of 16 miles an hour, and was in no way the worse for the journey. Art is not, as the metaphysicians say, the manifestation of some mysterious idea of beauty, or good; it is not, as the aesthetical physiologists say, a game in which man lets off his excess of stored-up energy; it is not the expression of man's emotions by external signs; it is not the production of pleasing objects; and, above all, it is not pleasure; but it is a means of union among men, joining them together in the same feelings, and indispensible for the life and progress, towards well-being of individuals and of humanity.—Count Tolstoy.

The cohesiveness of the Japanese, which is brought so prominently before the American people at this time, is much commented upon. There may not be the same impetus to close relationship in the negro race, but if we could somehow bring it about it would have undoubted advantages. Some weeks ago we attended the meeting of the Interstate Literary Association at Omaha, and there met many distinguished men from Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. While the papers and musical numbers of a high order, best of all was the inspiration coming from contact with master minds. So it is that while such brotherhood as distinguishes the alient races may not be ours, still we are not making the best of what opportunity we have. Let's get together. Let's get in touch with the Interstate Literary. Colorado has some commendable literary societies. It has some splendid men and women. They will doubtless find a warm welcome at the hands of President J. G. Pegg and the association. It is still fresh in our memory how warmly Omaha was praised for its open-handed hospitality on the occasion of the last meeting of the association, and President Pegg, who at that time was only chairman of the Executive committee, was given the thanks of the association by being chosen for president. It may be this great consideration will not come to Colorado, but we can stretch our hands across the prairies to our Missouri valley brethren and be lifted up in heart and be strengthened in purpose. It is an ambitious man, indeed, who will attempt a discussion of the relationship between the white and black races in this country, with a hundred straws arguing for one direction of the wind and as many for the opposite. Ceaseless change is going on within the race and surrounding conditions are by no means constant. So it is that we welcome the attention to "the problem" of the race's keenest and most exact mind. In his book, "Race Adjustment," Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University gives his essays on the negro in America, discussing him from many standpoints. Says the Book News Monthly: "One finds here a less extreme and uncompromising attitude than that of Professor W. E. B. DuBois, and a larger horizon, in a higher complexity of insights, than in the severer practicality of Booker Washington. Indeed, the range of subject is wide and varied. It touches history, poetry, education, labor, race characteristics, social questions and biographical illustration. The book is a real contribution to a theme much meditated by the Northern white men—but it is a contribution this time from the most intellectual negro author living." Prof. Miller won the thanks of his brethren for his valiant defense of our past and present from the slurs of the "Leopard's Spots." Cold facts served A NEW BOOK.

We look for much good from this book. Some of us dream dreams and see visions, some of us are overwhelmed by one or two misfortunes, and so we are glad to have a mathematician to cast up the balance for us so that we may know where we really are. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE COLORED DEMOCRATS. It is only a few months ago that certain negroes, commonly called the DuBois-Trotter-Waldron, contingent were arguing support of Democracy as the short road to better political advantages for the negro. They may be right, but so far the support of colored voters to Democracy seems to have served no purpose. Though the strongest argument made for it was the opposition of a Republican president and Congress to giving a square deal to the negro soldiers discharged from the army, now that a bill has been agreed upon acceptable to both the president and Senator Foraker, the Democratic senators have set out to kill it by filibustering. God certainly has cursed the Democratic party with the least possible amount of common sense. After sacrificing its opportunity to win us over last fall, by stupid silence, it now displays open opposition to a measure which it was supposed to favor. Negroes who honestly supported Bryan and his party must either repudiate the actions of Democratic congressmen or must persuade them to change their attitude. While we have not agreed with colored supporters of Democracy, we have accorded them credit for good intentions. They must now acquit themselves as honest men, and that means that either they will make Democracy "come across," or they will go the same limits of denunciation of it as they have of the Republican party. An effort of interest to all, but of special meaning, is being made this year to have the graduates of Lincoln Institute, Missouri, assemble in commemoration of Lincoln's birthday. The school being named for him makes it of unusual meaning to the former students there. Dr. W. J. Thompkins, formerly of this city but now of Kansas City, is the president of the Alumni Association.

Sunday afternoon Shorter church was filled with friends assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to Lawyer Franklin H. Bryant, who died on Thursday of pneumonia. The remains were escorted to the church by a local branch of the Socialist Labor party, of which he was one of the enthusiastic workers. The services were very impressive. Rev. Ward preached the funeral sermon. Resolutions of condolence were read by the Inter-Graduate Association, by Arapahoe Lodge of Odd Fellows, and by the Socialists. The remains were then borne to Riverside cemetery and laid away with the last rites. With bitter tears the surviving members of the family left him there, the widowed wife and the bereft father. The friends will know his courageous uplook no longer, will profit no more by his wisdom. The poet, scholar and orator has gone to join the great majority. The Law-born company was in charge. Kindly stay away from the date Easter Monday night. Miss Mary Clark departed this life the 28th of January, 1909.

A five-course luncheon was served to about 18 couples, after which the host departed at a late, leaving many congratulations. Scott's M.

Cheyenne Wyoming GRAND HARRIS' ORCHESTRA ADMISSION 50c REMEMBER FEB. 18 will be the OPENING of the SKATING RINK with Fancy Skating and Roller Racing. Persons desiring to Rent the Hall for Entertainments will inquire of "Dude" Morris, at the Hall. a great bunch of roses. I wish that you could have heard Mrs. Froman's gracious words of thanks to them. But do you know that the chief aim of the Searchlight Club seems to be in making people happy. A diversion along that line is in this form. The wedding anniversaries and the birthday anniversaries are celebrated. How? The club members are taxed each for an appropriate gift to be presented to each one whose anniversary occurs during the month. The recipient of the gift entertains in return at a Kensington uncheon or reception. Mesdames C. G. Ashford and J. A. Bawer's wedding anniversaries both occurred in January. They entertained together at the home of the former, where a delightful afternoon was spent. The house decorations were beautiful. The table presented a very bride-like appearance, the center of it containing a huge wedding cake. The other decorations were in keeping and very beautiful, carnations and smilax beautifully draped being in profusion. On the 11th of this month, Mrs. P. C. Crutchfield, our vice-president, entertains in the evening at her home. The husbands of members will be in evidence. I forgot to tell you that Mesdames Ashford and Baker were presented with silver salad forks, very dainty and artistic in designs. The entertainment at the home of Rev. and Mrs. P. C. Crutchfield will celebrate their welding day of one year ago. The birthday anniversary of Miss Eva B. Hopkins occurs on the 26th of this month. The wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Landor on the 27th. The reception will be held at the home of Mrs. Landor on the evening of the 26th, the ladies entertaining jointly in honor of both occasions. But our club is not confining itself to entertaining. The lessons, papers and discussions have been both instructive and inspiring. Egypt has been the study and the many new facts learned of that weird and mystic homeland in Africa are to be remarked. Yes, our churches are progressing Rev. P. C. Crutchfield in charge of the Baptist church is doing excellent work. Rev. H. H. Jones of the A. M. E. church is delivering himself of some very able discourses. His morning sermons are specially commendable. Mrs. C. G. Ashford is our Christian Endeavor president for another year, and the Sunday school is now in charge of Bro. J. O. Gaskin, who is serving himself efficient. The choir of the A. M. E. church is again rendering sacred concerts the first Sunday in every month, the one last Sunday evening being very much enjoyed, the vocal duet by the Misses Jefferson and Thistle was very well rendered. The church is looking forward with much pleasure to the quarterly visit of Rev. J. C. C. Owens, our presiding elder; at the last Conference our elder expressed himself as pleased with work accomplished. On next Sunday evening a Lincoln and Allen program will be given by the members of a new organization among our people known as the Progressive Forum. The club is composed of the representative colored men of our city and bids fair to be worthy of its name and of its calling. We wish it success, happiness and prosperity. I think that I have told you enough of our "haps" and mishaps to convince you that we are still wide-awake, pushing forward, progressing. We hope to be able to keep you informed more regularly so that our news to you will not be history to us when see in our most excellent Statesman. Wishing each and every one of you who may chance to read these lines God's favor, life's choicest blessing, I am as ever. PAGE. 9. Yours very truly, MRS. E. F. LANDOR, Cheyenne's Newsy.
