Y.M.C.B. Soon to Have a Home TWENTIETH YEAR Y. M. C. B. to Hav HURRAH FOR Y. M. C. B. Shorter chapel was crowded Sunday last to listen to the magnificent Lincoln-Douglass Day program given by the Y. M. C. B. The exercises began with music by the choir, followed by an invocation by Rev. Ward. After "America" had been sung heartily by the entire audience, Dr. P. E. Sprattlin, master of ceremonies, introduced Hon. A. W. Lewis, a most brilliant and promising young lawyer from Colorado University, who delivered a masterly address upon Abraham Lincoln and his great achievements. The Glee Club made another hit by singing in a very natural way one of the old plantation melodies with banjo accompaniment. Rev. A. C. Murphy showed us Frederick Douglass' place in history in a most eloquent address. He clearly proved that his memory should be revered along with those of Washington, Lincoln and others who died struggling for the betterment of mankind. After the program the captains in the $500 rally were called to report. Altho all were not able to complete their returns, the five hundred dollar mark was passed, and the old thermometer took a great rise that made everyone feel happy. Now that the Y. M. C. A. is assured and is gaining in influence, the various clubs of the city are getting interested. On Sunday, Feb. 28th, all the women's clubs of the city will turn out in their respective organizations and give us a special Ladies' Day program. Every club will have representatives on the program. At that time the ladies propose to raise $100 toward the Y. M. C. A. building fund, and most of the clubs already have passed resolutions drawing sums from their treasuries. The captains who were not able to report in full last Sunday are requested to report on this date. A. W. WARD. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 20 1909 THURSDAY EVENING PATRIOTICALLY CELEBRATED AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY—MAGNIFICENT PROGRAM—COLORADO STUDENTS PROMINENT. The Twentieth Century Business Society of the Business Course Department of Western University conducted one of the most patriotic meetings ever held within the confines of Western University. The colors were pink and white, the refreshments were make the "Lemon-aid" white. Every person sang the following: "Turn failure into victory Don't let your courage fade. And if you get a lemon Just make the lemon-aid. Out of 17 numbers on the program five were taken part in by the following Colorado students: Vocal solo, E. S. Plummer; band quartette, Harry Lyle; instrumental duet, Eva B. Jones, and ladies' quartette had the representatives, Misses Lawson and Allen. Their motto is, "Uplifting as we climb," while the roster of members from Colorado are Misses Beulah Allen, Tinsa Lawson, Philetus Fitzpatrick, Lou Ada Moore, Eula Fitzpatrick and Harry Lyle, the officers being Miss Eva B. Jones and Mr. E. S. Plummer on the executive committee. The graduates were (1906) Messrs. Orna Skinner, teaching now in Boyue, Kan., and Dink Todd, employed in Kansas City; (1907) George K. Williams, secretary to Western University; Misses Edith Lamb (deceased), Killa Glenn Mable Vaughan, Mettie Mallory, Gertrude Elam, Olva Ellison and Messrs. Locy Clay and Eugene Vaughan; (1908) Sophia P. Fine, Nora L. Hampton, Anna Vanderford, Alberta Kerr and Dean Fleming. The record shows everywhere and in every department Colorado students are showing up in the first ranks. Next year Colorado expects to send down a very large delegation. Of the "None Such Boys," Mr. Harry Gilmore contemplates joining. The Negro in His Destined Home ALLIANCE ALIVE WITH PATRIOTISM—REV. CONTEE MAKES MEMORIAL SPEECH ON DOUGLASS. With the Negro being forced into the Jap question, in fact into every question where the Caucasian is involved, with Collector Crum's confirmation being held up by the senate because he is colored, with the Negro losing his rights on every side and with a large audience inspired by patriotic music, is the scene that greeted Rev. Contee Sunday. He was practical, racy, witty, pathetic, patriotic and spiritual, and above all, an American citizen, a thing he so often reminded the audience. Your heart would have felt for Zion's pastor as he told his personal reminiscences of Douglass as he personally knew them and as he, along with Douglass, saved many Negroes by means of the underground railway. He scoffed at the idea of deportation because the Negro had a special invitation to come and his fare provided for him to come, besides places already prepared after he got off the ships. So full of history was he that every listener was completely won by his eloquence and fervor in narrating the exciting events during the war period and reconstruction days. He was a believer in God, in humanity and a strong urge for Negroes to protect their manhood and womanhood. He believed in Negroes being American citizens and Negroes at the same time and proclaimed that the Negro was to stay here until God called him home. The paper by Mr. Buford on "Lincoln," was exceedingly good. The orchestra played as never before. "Uncle Sammy" and "Stars and Stripes Forever" was royally played and received by the audience. Miss Margaret Willis; tion, Mr. Carsey Morris; rection, Azalia Hackley paper (by special re. B. Beckham; solo, Miss in His ined Home Frankie Buchannan, and Holley's ett. Feb. 28—Instrumental duett, Misses Rice and Louise Harris; vocal solo, Miss Ida Cox; literary selection, Mr. Cornelius Rice; cornet solo, Mr. Clyde Andrews; address, "My Experience in Africa," J. L.

THE BEST THING THIS SIDE OF EASTER is the entertainment to be given at Dania hall, Twenty-seventh and Arapahoe streets, next Tuesday evening. Feb. 23, by the United Brothers of Friendship. The men of Western Star lodge bear a well deserved reputation for thorough going hospitality and will give their patrons a hearty welcome on this occasion. Good music. Prizes. A good time. All for 35 cents. WESTERN UNIVERSITY HONORED Eureka Literary Crowded. Beyond all expectation was the literary society surprised when so many of the old familiar faces were seen in their places Tuesday night highly elated over the magnificent program rendered by the young men. The solo by Harry Gilmore, the oration by J. D. Rice, the recitation by Mr. Brown, were all very well rendered, but the story by Mr. Lloyd Hall, in which the heroine was a girl from Western University, completely captured the audience. Every rush, every scrimmage and the high tension of feelings were portrayed just as has happened so many times at Western University. Mr. Hall showed how Western University was one of the most enthusiastic schools for athletics in the entire West. The society adjourned for two weeks to accommodate the coming revival. --- Successful Business Man Must Have Attribute of Courage. Many a man fails because he does not dare to take risks, to take the initiative. When do you expect to do anything distinctive in life? When do you expect to get out of the ranks of mediocrity? The men who do original things are fearless. There is a lot of dare in their make-up, a great deal of boldness. They are not afraid to take chances, to shoulder responsibility, to endure inconvenience and privation. There never was a time when the quality of courage was so absolutely indispensable in the business world as it is to-day. It does not matter how many success qualities you possess, young man, if you lack courage you will never get anywhere. Not even honesty or perseverance will take its place. There is no substitute for courage. It does not matter how well educated you may be, or how good a training you may have had for your vocation, if you are a hesitator, if you lack that courage which dares to risk all on your judgment, you will never get above mediocrity. The men who stand at the top of their line of endeavor stand there because they have the courage of their convictions. They had the courage to climb, had the nerve to undertake even against the advice of others. Success Magazine. TOOK UMBRAGE AT ASPERSION. Citizens Resented Being Voted for as Town's "Meanest Man." Old Scrooge might be a philanthropic Carnegie alongside certain tightwads in Mount Vernon, but William Friedberg has no license to determine publicly who are the men who would squeeze a dollar until the eagle yelled: "Help! I'm melting!" For conducting a voting contest to determine the meanest man in Mount Vernon Friedberg, who keeps a cigar store there, was fined five dollars by Judge Platt here. A warning went with the fine. Friedberg lives in Astoria, but does business in Mount Vernon. He placed in his window a placard: "Come in and vote for the meanest man in Mount Vernon!" This was followed by a list of names. Conspicuous in the lot were the mayor and chief of police. Then came many solid and staid citizens. After every name was a number signifying the votes the owner of the name had received so far Great was the wrath of the so-called "meanest men." Friedberg was or dered to take the sign out of the window, but he refused to do so. His indictment for libel followed. In court he pleaded guilty, but asserted he did not know he was violating any law. White Plains Cor. New York Sun. The Power of Enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is one magnet of power. You must fire every event with it touch thoughts and acts with it; it will transmute dross into gold, drudgery into delight. What matters if the soul which lives beside you is cold and selfish. Set him a good example! Joy is sunshine and he will feel it. Every irksome task is a chance for power. For the qualities which they bring out are God's gifts which fit us to enjoy better things.

Sensation in "Mystery Ship." Sydney, Australia, has had a novelty in the shape of a "mystery ship." An American steamer, the Coronet arrived by night in the harbor unsignaled and unannounced. It was people by a strange-looking crowd of men, women and children. The officers were dressed in clerical attire long coats and white ties. Nobody was allowed on board save the government medical officer and the harbor master. The Sydney reporters ascertained that the ship is connected with the newest American sect, the "Holy Ghost and Us," whose head, a man named Stanford, claiming to be the reincarnated Elijah, is on board. The Coronet has been cruising for some months among the Pacific islands. Rats! A captain on an ocean liner tells the following story: Coming from the old country was a very nervous old lady who complained that she was sure there was a rat in her stateroom. "Keep it there, madam," said the captain. "But do you like rats?" asked she. "I've got a nest in my cabin," retorted the brusque seaman, "and I never disturb them. When they leave the ship I do." "Why, you must be superstitious," urged the dame. "No, I am,' wound up the captain. 'I'm not, but the rats are." Teaching Girls to Ride Horses. Almost all the little girls who are taught to ride horses these days are put on cross saddles. They may or may not ride astride when they get bigger, but they all learn that way. It is a safer position in the first place and it gives confidence never acquired by a youngster in a side saddle. As a rule the small equestrienne is clad in bloomers and the briefest of skirts. Often she discards the skirt when the lessons are given in the country. The instructor holds her pony by a leading strap and, of course, he rides a horse easily able to overtake her mount in the event of a bolt. Only for the first few lessons is the child's belt buckled to the pommel of her saddle. Until she acquires a firm seat she is kept close enough to the instructor to be caught by him if she starts to fall. The Ameer's Grim Hum... Although in every way milder than his father, Hibib Ullah occasionally manifests a humor no less grim as was lately disclosed by his chief body servant, Ahmed Rashid. This worthy, whose duty it is to take care of the royal wardrobe, was becoming neglectful, when one morning Habib Ullah noticed a black scorpion, whose sting is unusually agonizing, in a boot that he had been about to put on. Summoning Ahmed to his side, the Ameer complained that the boot pinched his foot, and ordered the servant to stretch it by drawing it on his foot. The pain of the bite was not the more readily forgotten from the fact that nothing of much consequence could be done to relieve it. Bobby's Unfortunate Delay. He was five years old. On this particular day mother had dressed him with unusual care and was very much displeased to have him come in with clothing dirty and torn. She had so often told him he must take his own part in the boys' scraps—fight, should the occasion demand it. This he would not do. And now she intended to punish him. Bob became very indignant and said: "Well, mamma, I jus. told the boy I wasn't ready to fight, and when I got ready he was settin' on me."—Delinat Her Criticism. The five-year-old daughter of a Brooklyn man has had such a large experience of dolls that she feels herself to be something of a connoisseur in children, relates Lippincott's. Recently there came a real baby into the house. When it was put into her arms the five-year-old surveyed it with critical eye. "Isn't it a nice baby?" asked the nurse. "Yes, it's nice," answered the youngster hesitatingly. "It's nice, but it's head's loose." The New England Spirit. In every crisis that has come to this country the "New England spirit" has risen to the top. It may have been dormant for a time, but whenever the necessity arose it manifested itself. In the great internecine struggle it predominated; in more recent times it has asserted itself. The pilgrim blood and the pilgrim spirit have overcome all difficulties. Without them the west would be a wilderness. The pioneers of the western states were actuated by the spirit that settled New England.—Denver Republican. Choate's Humorous Comparison. Chief Justice Shaw of Massachusetts, one of the greatest lawyers of his time, was a plain, practical man, and looked in his old age, as he sat on the bench, somewhat like a Chinese idol, and he used frequently to cut off Mr. Chwate's eloquence by calling him back to the plain facts. At a bar dinner Choate was called upon to toast the chief justice, and what he said was this: "We regard our chief justice as the heathen regards his idol. We know that he is ugly, but we feel at he is great." Water Power Development. The development of the water power of small streams is just beginning, but the movement is general all through this and foreign countries. Nearly 75 per cent. of the 5,737,372 farms in the United States boast of a small creek or two rioting boisterously through the bushy glens and rocky ravines or singing and playing through the daisy-spangled meadows. Nearly every one of these streams is available for horsepower.—American Review of Reviews. Girl's Bell-Ringing Feat. Miss Lillian Wilson, a Leicester (Eng). girl of 16, has just accomplished a remarkable ringing feat by taking part in a peal of 5,072 bob major on St. John's church bells. Although the task occupied three hours and 15 minutes she accomplished it with comparative ease, and is the first lady to achieve such a performance in the Midlands. PAGE. 10. Her Indoor Vegetable Garden. The West Philadelphia woman who was the envy of her neighbors last summer by virtue of her vegetable garden in her small back yard, which kept her table well supplied for a month, has again stepped into the limelight. This clever woman has succeeded in raising several kinds of vegetables in flower pots of earth inside her house. Already she has raised several stalks of asparagus from roots, and her family is enjoying the luxury of green asparagus, while their friends and neighbors are eating canned goods. Radishes, too, have grown indoors for this amateur trucker, and now, made ambitious by her successes, this woman is going to plant some lima beans and peas. The care of her indoor vegetable garden is not wearing, for the West Philadelphia woman, to gain time, has simply cut down her usual list of potted plants and devoted her time to more practical growing things. —Philadelphia Record. Models' Earning Nowadays all the leading firms of modistes employ living models. A good model can earn five to six pounds a week, the minimum wage for a "show lady" being two pounds a week. There are some models in London who are paid as much as £10 a week, and in Paris the salary of a good model in some of the best establishments runs to £12 a week. As long as a model is young and attractive her position as such is secure enough, and often very well paid, but at 30, and sometimes before, she is generally regarded as too old for the particular work required of her—that is, showing the effect of dresses when made; but if she has acquired a good knowledge of a modiste's business she is almost certain to obtain further and far more permanent employment with her own firm or elsewhere.—London Tit-Bits. Pipe Lines for Oil. The first pipe line used for oil in the United States was a small affair an inch in diameter. This was in 1865. By 1879 there were lines five inches in diameter and 100 miles long. To-day the line from Oklahoma to New York, by way of Chicago, measures nearly 1,500 miles, and our enormous annual production of petroleum is transported chiefly through these lines. The price of this transportation, from the oil fields to the Atlantic coast, is only about three cents a barrel, or, if interest and cost of replacement every 14 years be taken into account, 11 cents a barrel. Pipe lines are now common in other petroleum producing countries, notably in the neighborhood of Baku, where one line across the Caucasus range is nearly 600 miles long. Education in America. Boardly speaking, the educational systems and institutions of the United States, public and private, enrolled in 1906-07 in the neighborhood of 19,000,000 pupils of all grades and classes. About 20 per cent. of the total population attended the common schools for a longer or a shorter period. This percentage had been pretty nearly stationary for 30 years. In the meantime, however, the average length of the common school year had advanced from 130 days to a little over 150 days, and the percentage of those enrolled who were on the average in actual attendance each day of this longer school year had advanced from 62 per cent. to 70 per cent. Report of the Commissioner of Education. Owing her rise from the position of slave girl to that of an empress ruling the destinies of some 400,000,000 subjects to her beauty, it is scarcely surprising to learn that, up to the time of her death, the dowager empress of China was extremely vain of her good looks. Nine ladies of the imperial suite were employed every morning to "make up" the empress. Her majesty was rouged regularly every morning until her cheeks flamed delicately against the creamy composition with which the rest of her face had been treated. The lips were carmined and a stubborn growth of hair on the chin and upper lip was obliterated by the application of paint. A slightly double chin caused her much trouble, but she found consolation in the size of her feet, which, although they were never bound in the peculiar Chinese fashion, were the envy of all ladies who were privileged to see them.—Exchange. Sicily's Wheat and Fruits. Sicily was the "granary of Rome" in former days. Wheat grows to an enormous height, and the ears seldom contain less than 60 grains. The rice is the finest on earth. I buy it at ten cents a pound to make that famous dish—"riso el buterro e fromagio." No other rice answers the purpose. The most bountiful crops of Germany and France, of England and Austria-Hungary, present to the Sicilian the image of sterility. A Sicilian watermelon is a dream. It was the original nectar of the gods. No Georgia rattlesnake variety is in its class. Indian figs and aloes are wonderful, the former serving as food for the poor. The pomegranate reaches its highest perfection along the southern coast, and is shipped to all parts of the world under the name of "punica." in honor of the Punic war; it was brought from Carthage into Italy by the Romans.—New York Press. Substitute for Small Change. A souvenir of the civil war came into the hands of a delicatessen merchant in New York a few days ago which showed how scarce small change must have been in those days. It was a green three-cent postage stamp, encased in a thin metal frame the size of an old copper cent. The face of the stamp was protected by a disk of mica. On the reverse side the improvised coin was stamped "Good for three cents." This queer substitute for money was given along with other small change by a woman who said it was the last of a number of similar pieces which she had owned for many years, and the man who took the combination stamp, mica and tin for three cents in speaking of it, said: "The woman looked as if she was prosperous once and was sorry to give up the piece." Want to Wear Mustaches. At a meeting of the domestic servants in Paris to discuss their grievances one, and not the least important, question was whether domestic servants should not be allowed, like their fellow-Frenchmen, to cultivate the mustache. It was suggested that to give the movement some sort of encouragement nothing would be better than that the servants at the Elysee should be the first to agitate for the privilege. The Gaulois says that this has been done, the employes at the president's residence having transmitted to M. Fallieres a request that henceforth they shall be allowed to wear mustaches. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Almost Impossible to Impose Upon Handlers of Money. Incidentally it is interesting to note that the skill which enables one to detect a counterfeit comes not from a study of counterfeits, but from a thorough and unconscious familiarity with the genuine. If a man were pointed out to you and you were told that some day another who much resembled him would try to impose upon you, you would be pretty apt to fix his features in your mind; you would not spend any time looking at other people who looked something like him, would you? And the moment the impostor appeared you would note that in this, that or the other particular he failed to meet the details of the other man's face and figure. Just so it is in the detection of counterfeits. A skillful teller in a bank, counting money rapidly, will involuntarily throw out a note which in the slightest degree departs from the well-known pattern which is so strongly impressed on his mental vision. That involuntary act will nearly always prove to have been justified, for the bill in 19 cases out of 20 will prove to be a counterfeit. It is because of this fact that when a request is received from some one to loan him a collection of counterfeits for the instruction of his cashiers, he is advised to have the young men study the genuine carefully, and there will be no trouble in detecting the bad notes.—National Magazine. BOY ROSE TO THE SITUATION. Quick Wit and Intelligence Displayed by Youngster. His parents are convinced that Clarence will be a great man; the only doubt is whether it will be as a statesman or scientist. He is only four years old, and their confidence is based largely on one incident. The boy never told of it, and it would have been lost to history if a neighbor had not been a chance witness. Clarence lives in the suburbs, and has a cat and kittens. One day he went into the yard next door with one of the little ones to play. There was a big pile of brushwood here, and he shoved his pet into a hole in this. She crawled so far back that all his efforts to get her out were vain. Had he been a man he would have pulled the pile of brush apart, but lacking strength for this he resorted to cunning. Running home, he soon returned with the mother cat. He shoved her into the hole after her offspring, and she soon came out with the little one between her teeth. Clarence bore them both home in triumph. A Queen's Will. Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV., was a woman of great piety and exceptional humility, which was shown in the directions for her funeral. "I die in all humility," she wrote, "knowing well we are all alike before the throne of God, and request, therefore, that my mortal remains be conveyed to the grave without any pomp or ceremony. They are to be moved to St. George's chapel, Windsor, where I request to have a quiet funeral. "I particularly desire not to be laid out in state, and the funeral to take place by daylight; no procession, the coffin to be carried by sailors to the chapel. I die in peace, and wish to be carried to the tomb in peace, and free from the vanities and the pomp of the world."—Home Notes.

One of the most important alterations which members of the British house of commons will notice when they reassemble will be a strangers' bureau. Its construction, which is now in progress, is the sequel to the scenes created by the suffragettes in the house during last session. In the last month of the autumn session as the result of their conduct no stranger was seen within the house of commons. A committee was appointed to draw up new rules for admission of strangers. The members recommended the passing of an act making it a criminal offense for strangers to brawl within the chamber, and they also recommended that strangers should be made responsible for their own good behavior and should sign a paper accepting that responsibility. That being done the committee saw no resoon why women, as well as men, should not be admitted to the strangers' gallery. It is in preparation for the change that the new bureau is being made. As heretofore, tickets for the gallery will be balloted for by members in advance. LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE. Firms Devote Summer Months to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabin outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good natured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Finns' book.—Ladies' Pictorial -ines of the Zambesi. Two important collections of fishes recently received at the London Natural History museum will permit for the first time a complete study of the ichthyology of the Zambesi region of Africa. Among the 168 specimens of the two collections, 19 new species are represented, and they give a total of 140 species of the Zambesi.

Between the region occupied of old by the Aztecs and the realm far to the south over which the Incas ruled lies an immense stretch of territory, a thousand miles long and 800 wide, where the remains of unknown and wonderful civilizations are being discovered, says a writer in Van Norden's Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica. In one section alone along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unknown civilizations were recently brought to light by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and a vast collection of relics has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great American museum, which will represent the history of ancient peoples who attained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose very existence has been hitherto lost in antiquity. The famed marble chairs of Rome at its zenith were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown civilizations. No pottery of any other ancient race was more delicately patterned than that found in vast quantities, as numerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples dwelt. Their cloth was of truly marvelous weave; in beauty of design, richness of color and fineness of texture no fabric of to-day surpasses it. MAKES KNOTTY PCINT IN LAW Owners of Property Have Right to bid Flight of Airships. A law framed thousands of years ago by the ancient Romans, and the only one bearing on the subject, may have to be amended or wholly nullified before airships go shooting about through space at their own sweet will. This important fact was brought out at a meeting of aeronauts in London. At present nobody has the right to fly across occupied land. The world is governed by the ancient Roman law "Usque ad Coelum." It means that every landowner has a right to the air above his head as far up as he chooses to go, and can get an injunction to restrain anyone from flying through it. So far nobody has attempted to put the law in force. It would be most uncomfortable, not to say disastrous, for a farmer suddenly to emerge from his barn or smokehouse and pepper one's airship with bullets. The fact that the aeronaut from his lofty perch could not be expected to see the "No Trespass" sign might not prove a mitigating circumstance with the rural magistrate. Where She'd Wear It. Somebody sent this to the society editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer and made affidavit that it really happened. Here it is: They were out at an afternoon card party. A stout woman dropped a card to the floor. "Would you be so kind as to pick up that card for me?" she inquired of the little woman at her right. "Certainly," said the accommodating woman at the right, picking up the card. "You see," explained the stout woman, "I've got on a brand new $50 corse set, and I'm afraid I'll strain it if I lean over." "Hum!" commented the other woman, enviously. "If I had a $50 corset I'd wear it on the outside. I really would." Strength of Money. When we consider the amount of wear and tear to which a bank note is subjected, we ought to be able to realize its physical strength. In a recent experiment sheets were drawn at random from piles of paper weighing 14 pounds to the ream. Each sheet was halved and weighed, and each half was folded double when tested. One, offering 61 square inches, stood a strain of 100 pounds. The same-sized sheet, 16 pounds to the ream, stood a strain of over 300 pounds. The average results of Crane paper, 14 pounds to the ream, with sizing, were a perpendicular strain of 3 1-3 pounds to the square inch, and a transverse strain of 43 pounds. Pretty nearly as toughas shoe leather. How to Get Thin. When one has just begun to acquire superfluous flesh complete absinence from sweets and starches, a moderate amount of food at all times, and daily exercise either indoors or out will effect a cure. The effort, however, must be persistent, and the watchfulness must continue even after the desired weight has been reached. Spasmodic efforts either at diet or exercise will be absolutely without lasting results. When one's weight has crept far beyond the normal amount the restraint in diet must be more strenuous and the exercise more violent.—Harper's Weekly. Some Singular Wills One of the most singular wills ever recorded was that of a British sailor, who requested his executors to give his wife a shilling to buy hazelnuts, as she had always preferred cracking them to mending his stockings. More subtle, however, was the sarcasm of a will proved in 1830, in which a wife was left $2,500, but was only to enjoy it after her death in order that "she may be buried suitably as my widow." A French merchant bequeathed a large fortune to a woman of his acquaintance to show his gratitude for her refusal to marry him 20 years before Comfort in the Palatial Hotels. Residential suites in the best New York hotels contain all the provisions for the comfort of those who make the hotel their home, such as private dining-rooms, with special furniture, china closets and sideboards. There are private pantries, with cold storage cupboards, where fruit and milk may be stored, and refrigerator boxes, where the temperature of wines may be regulated, besides which there are electric heaters, where food sent up on the dumb waiters from the kitchen may be kept piping hot; there are gas ranges, and all the water in panries, baths and dressing rooms is specially filtered directly it flows through the mammoth pipes into the hotel in the great filter in the basement, al though most people have the bottled water habit. Substitute for English ,yy The climbing euonymus (Euonymus Japonica, var. radicans) is a plant that ought to be better known as a vine. It is often seen in masses, used as a low shrub for covering bare spots, and for this it is very well adapted, but it is also of great merit as a true vine for walls, trees, rocks, etc. It clings as tenaciously to a rough surface as does the English ivy. Its leaves are small, and growth is slow, two attributes which fit the plant well for use on a low wall. Besides the green form, there is also a variegated leaved one that is extremely decorative. Both are perfectly hardy. Their small, beautiful shiny green leaves, about an inch across, are evergreen. It is quite easy to establish either as a vine on a wall or as a ground cover. Plant in early spring in a rich soil. Progress That May Be Opposed. One of the latest indications of the progress of Japan in Occidental ideas is the project now on foot to illuminate the summit of the celebrated mountain Fujiyama, which figures in almost all Japanese pictures, and which is one of the loftiest and most beautiful volcanic peaks in the world, with a gigantic electric light. Already the pilgrim stations on the way up the peak are heated and lighted with electricity. Since the Japanese are an artistic people, one wonders whether some of them may not oppose this startling innovation, as the people of Venice recently expressed their disapprobation of the scheme to light the Venetian canals with electric lamps.-Youth's Companion. Hunting the Hippopotamus. A dead hippopotamus invariably sinks to the bottom of the river if shot while swimming, and it is only after an interval which varies between two and eight hours that the body rises and floats on the surface. For this reason if you kill a hippopotamus in a river the current of which is at all rapid, you must, in nine cases out of ten, give up all hope of ever recovering your quarry. The carcass may be carried a great distance under the water where it furnishes a providential feast to the native inhabitants on the banks who call down ironical blessings upon the infallible rifle of the white man.—Wide World Magazine. Boys as Glass Breakers. "It's about time," declared the indignant 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 breaking the glass of a lamp either on the curb or at the steps of an apartment house. If a house is 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." A Colorado Woman. That women should display enterprise in Colorado is not to be wondered at, since they have been for man years fully qualified voters there. A good specimen of the advanced woman in the Centennial state is Mrs. Nellie Upham, who is the vicepresident of a mining company, and who personally supervises the running of fifty gold and silver mines, bossing three hundred workmen. Mrs. Upham had studied mining and minerals for a long time, and some five years ago she drifted into her present business. It is stated that she manages affairs with great ability. LesLe's Weekly.

Kind Friends:— A Magnetic Healer has arrived in the city, and invites the sick and afflicted to make no delay in calling to see him. Precious Life and Health can be Saved by this that would be Hope less Under the Old Methods. The Nature of The Disease makes no Difference. It is no longer necessary to suffer the pangs of pain and disease, or die prematurely. The time is now at hand when it is as easy to get well as it is to get sick. Those who are suffering with Stomach Troubles, bad cases of Rheumatism, or any other Lingering Disease, take one treatment of Magnetic healing from the Healer and you shall be convinced that your disease and pains will be turned into health and joy. All this is simply the operation of natural law, and it is not half as wonderful as the fact that you can send your voice along a little wire for thousands of miles, yet no one doubts the telephone, or is astonished at what it accomplishes. Is it strange, then, that a new discovery should be made in the line of physical science as applied to the healing art. PROF. H. G. H. BUTLER, 1123 Welton Street. Phone Main 8752.

So, too, the night lights shift and grow in wonderful magnificence, creeping continually further upward toward the stars, until the lower city, grouped around the Singer tower, has become a veritable Chimborazo of glitter and glow. The little lamps that mark the dark wharves barely show. Above them the scant candles of the older city twinkle here and there, but not enough to mar the dark foreground beyond which come the palaces more goregous than any ever coaxed from genii land by slaves of Aladdin's lamp. From the platform towers of the great bridge the picture sets to the best advantage. It begins with the sinking sun. The murky view beyond the bay betcomes dull and dark. The torch in Liberty's hand suddenly gleams starlike in the night and then, like the twinkling in a kaleidoscope, the palaces begin to glitter in the gloom. There is no vision like it elsewhere in the world, yet only now and then does a bridge pedestrian pause in his hurried, walk to give the spectacle a momentary glance. The usual New Yorker cares little for the splendor of his town.—N. Y. World. SHOW HATRED OF FOREIGNERS Chinese Historical Plays That Keep Alive Race Prejudice. Historical plays are acted everywhere in China. They are popular in the quiet villages, the homes of the rich, in the crowded cities, and in the busy market towns. These plays are written with the object of intensifying the bitterness and contempt of the people against the foreigner. The story of plunderings and massacres of their forefathers is vividly portrayed, with all the dramatic power that the actors possess. The foreigner is represented as a monster in appearance. His face is dragged out of shape and his mouth is made to appear near his ear. His beard on one side is red and on the other blue. His eyes are fierce and staring, and murder is stamped upon his hideous features. The people of the interior, who have never come into actual contact with the foreigner, have this conception of the hated barbarian. To their minds Americans, French, English, Germans are all alike, barbarians to be destroyed. The Quaint Belluga. Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and inhabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and very dainty—and preserve only the spawn, of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and swims about for provender. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD Electric Plant for Tokyo. A large power station is being built in Japan to furnish current for Tokyo, Yokohama and adjacent cities and towns. The capacity of this station will be 60,000 horse-power. The power will be derived from a 600-foot head of water on the Oi river. Six generators directly coupled to vertical waterwheels will be installed. The generators will be of the three-phase, 25-cycle type. The waterwheels will develop 13,500 horse-power. The 6,600-volt transmission line will be carried on steel towers 50 feet high and spaced 450 feet apart, over a distance of 105 miles. An IOU at Auction. An IOU for 200,000 marks was put up to public auction a few days ago at Wiesbaden, and fetched the handsome sum of 700 marks. The signatory to the interesting document is a well-known German prince, and there was an idea, which proved to be ill-founded, that his relatives would honor the signature in order to avoid any publicity. Peculiar African Rac. There is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodesia. These natives are small of stature, with large horns on their heads. The horn springs from the scalp, consists of the native's hair mixed with fat and flesh, and is sometimes as much as 18 inches long. For the most part these Kaffirs live on the great open flats to be found on both sides of the Kafue river. They build their huts on the great ant heaps which appear like hills scattered over the flats. When the Kafue is in flood and the flats are changed into great lakes these people are safe in their huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle also take refuge on the ant heaps on which corn and mealies are likewise grown. Send for the S. P. C. 2. A "Young Mother" asks our opinion of "the alleged injurious effects of rocking on babies." We must frankly say that we consider it a brutal practice. As the father of a great many babies, of all ages, we never rocked on any of them intentionally, and we would probably be arrested if we expressed our full opinion of any woman who would presume to do so.—Lippincott's Magazine. Flattery in Lieu of Tip. How to avoid tipping the waiter at a restaurant: When the bill comes, pay it exactly. A certain involuntary expression of astonishment will be visible on the waiter's face, well trained though it may be. You should then rise, saying to him: "I have made an excellent dinner; you manage the establishment much better than the preceding proprietor did." During his rapture at being mistaken for the owner of the restaurant you escape. Getting Ahead of One's Self. "If I have anything to do that I particularly dislike, I start to work on it the first thing after breakfast, subordinating all routine work to that task," said a successful housekeeper recently. "One can expend enough nervous energy thinking about and worrying over an unpleasant duty to accomplish it. When it is finished and off one's mind early in the day, one gets ahead of one's self, so to speak."

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. Telephone in the Alps. The telephon has robbed the Alpine heights of some of their terrors. Two Alpestrians lately lost their way on the great St. Bernard mountain. Wandering for hours in a fierce snowstorm they at last reached one of the newlybuilt shelters erected by the monks. There they found not only food and a lamp but also a telephone connected with the hospice. They called up the monks and soon one of the brothers appeared accompanied by two St. Bernard dogs and conducted the men to the hospice where they received the proper care. Many huts have been built in exposed places and a number of lives have thus been saved. Put New Blood into Your Business. The up-to-date professional adviser or business doctor, when called to examine a shrinking, declining business, often finds the patient barely alive; the circulation being so sluggish 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 a 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. --- VEGETABLES FRUITS In this Department there is nothing lacking: Beaf, Mutton and Pork Try our Roasts and Steaks Also Canned Meats Here you can get Flour, Crackers Meal, Salted Meats, Sugar, Coffees Teas, Spices and anything needed for the Kitchen Also Bakery Goods TESSEN is complete, up-to-date and fresh Feet, Ears, Tails, Hocks.

After having taken the collection in the Cullompton (Eng.) parish church the church warden noticed a gentle man's gold ring in the offertory box. At the conclusion of the service the vicar announced that a gold ring had been either accidentally dropped into the box or given as a thank offering, and would be restored to its owner if put in by mistake. No one claimed the ring. JUMPED AT NATURE'S BIDDING. Would-Be Suicide Not Completely Nerved for Final Parting. With a groan of despair he made up his mind to die. Ruined financially, and with not a particle of hope for getting on his feet again, he realized that the only chance for his family escaping pauperism and its attendant miseries was to obtain immediate use of his heavy life insurance. Furthermore, if he lingered on he would be unable to pay the premiums on his policies, which unfortunately were not old enough to carry themselves, so that they would forthwith lapse. Death, therefore, was the only solution to the problem. It was a decision the bitterness of which can only be understood by these forced by circum stances to confront it. He put on his hat and overcoat and went out of the house, lest the expression on his telltale countenance should betray to his loved ones his fell intention. While he was traversing the crowded streets he would consider the best and least suspicious modes of consummating his purpose. If he could encompass it so that the thing looked to the world like an accident, so much the better. There would then be no scandal. As he stepped from the curb to cross the street an automobile, driven by a reckless joy-riding chauffeur, came tearing around the corner at terrifying speed. And the energetic leap which the would-be suicide made back to the sidewalk out of harm's way was a caution. MEATS ROVISIONS Also Bakery Goode Ring in Offertory. Rooms—31-2 Good Block.

Zip, a son of Bluff, the big bull terrier, is the most respected dog in Flatbush, N. Y., says a correspondent. He requires every other dog within 40 blocks to walk a chalk line and bow to him as he passes by. He can lick everything on four feet up to twice his size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the-Pump. His master attributes Zip's prowess to his fondness for the pipe. Like Old King Cole: He calls for his pipe, He calls for his glass, "That is the most remarkable dog in the world," says his master. "He takes my pipe out of my mouth and smokes it, standing on his hind feet. See! The stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on his fours and chase all over the house to create a draught. When the fire is well started again he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipe. Strong? He ought to be named Samson. Why, we have a piano that weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with a rope and he will pull it all over the room." Antiquity of the Sausage. The sausage dates back to the year 897. It has been asserted that the Greeks in the days of Homer manufactured sausages, but this prehistoric mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The ancient so-called sausage was composed of the same materials which enter into the make-up of the boudin of the French market and the blood pudding of the French-Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloped in the stomachs of goats. Not until the tenth century did the sausage made of hashed pork become known. It was in or near the year 1500 that, thanks to the introduction into Germany of cinnamon and saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and Strassburg acquired a universal reputation. A Knowing Dog. "Now," said the narrator, "I've got a dog here I would not take $100 for. You can believe me or not, but what I am going to tell you is the gospel truth. In the early part of last spring I lost about a score of very valuable sheep, until one day as I was looking across from my house to the edge of the range opposite, about two miles away. I noticed some sheep. I got my telescope, and assured myself that they were mine. I placed the telescope in a suitable position, and made Bob, our best collie, look through it. After about a minute the dog wagged his tail and made off. In less than two hours he brought the sheep home safe and sound." Women's Sweet Laughter A woman has no natural grace more bewitching than a sweet laugh. It is like the sound of flutes on the water; it leaps from her heart in a clear sparkling rill, and the heart that hears it feels as if bathed in the cool exhilarating spring. How much we owe to that sweet laugh! It turns the prose of our life into poetry; it flings showers of sunshine over the darksome wood in which we are traveling; it touches with light our sleep which is no more the image of death, but gemmed with dreams that are the shadow of immortality.—Exchange.

Two Recipes That Seem to Promise Something Good. Plump oysters being among the pleasures of the winter table, they must be treated with respect. What to Eat gives two recipes. The first of French panned oysters is tempting even in the reading. Drain 25 good-sized oysters. Rub an ounce of butter to a smooth paste with a teaspoonful flour and a teaspoonful minced parsley. Place in a stew pan or chafing dish with the oysters, add a pinch of cayenne and seasoning salt and stir and cook until the gills begin to curl, then add the yolk of an egg, and, still stirring, pour the oysters over some nicely toasted squares of bread and serve at once. This is an epicurean bake: Put half a cup of best butter in a small stew pan with a cup of cream and stir over a good fire until hot. Add a tablespoonful anchovy sauce, a tiny pinch of cayenne, a light grating of lemon rind and stir and cook until it bubbles; then add a gill of sherry and turn half the mixture into a baking dish. Arrange the oysters on top the sauce and sprinkle with a layer of bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Cover with remainder of the sauce, bread crumbs, etc., and brown nicely in a hot oven. Trim and toast delicately some thin slices of bread, first removing the crusts. Take the smallest oysters you can get, but a well-flavored variety, and wipe perfectly dry, place in a well greased broiler and broil until they begin to shrivel all around the gills, then place closely together over the toast and sprinkle with finely minced celery and dust lightly with salt. Thicken some cream, ever so little, with corn starch wet with milk and pour over the oysters and serve immediately. The Home. Oranges and lemons will keep well if hung in a wire net in a cool, airy place. If five or six potatoes are added to the sponge, the bread will keep moist much longer. For boiling salmon the waist must be boiling, but for all other fish it should only be warm. When making apple pie the flavor is much improved and the apples will keep a good color if a few drops of lemon juice are squeezed over the apples just before the paste is put on. It is claimed that woody house plants that grow a bark can be strengthened and made to flourish like the proverbial bay tree if given iron water, soaked from rusted iron and poured into the soil. When eggs are broken and cannot be used at once they will keep better if the shell be removed and a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt be beaten into the egg. They later can be used for cakes or puddings. Oyster Pie. Line a dish with puff paste. Lay a plate the same size as the dish on top of it; over this put the top crust, the dish supporting it, as the paste must go into the oven before the oysters are put in. Prepare oysters while crust is cooking. Strain the liquor; thicken it with the yolks of eggs, boiled hard and THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. grated; add a piece of butter and a few fine breadcrumbs; season with pepper, salt and nutmeg. Stew for five minutes. As soon as the crust is done remove the cover, take out the plate, pour in the oysters and gravy and replace the cover. Serve at once hot. Pork and Apple Stew. Cut a joint of pork in thick pieces. Peel and slice two baking apples, four onions and six potatoes. Lay the slices of meat and vegetables together in a pie dish, sprinkle with pepper, salt and powdered sage. Cover with water or gravy, tie down with greased paper, and bake for two hours. The meat should be dipped in flour before putting it into the dish, so as to give a little thickening to the gravy. Eggs a la Creme. Required: For each egg allow two spoons of cream, a teaspoonful of grated cheese and a pinch of nutmeg. Butter some small china cases, break an egg into each, sprinkle with salt and grated cheese (Parmesan), put a dessertspoonful of cream and a little nutmeg on each. Put the cases in a quick oven just long enough to set the eggs. Serve at once. Baked Calf's Tongue. Take one good sized tongue, throw into boiling water and boil until tender. Remove the outer skin, put into a baking pan with one cup of ripe tomatoes, two cloves of garlic, three or four of those little red hots, some salt and a piece of butter the size of a walnut and bake half hour. Serve hot. Glazed Carrots. Wash, scrape and cut into even slices; simmer until nearly tender in salted water; drain, put into a saucepan with one tablespoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of sugar, and have enough stock to cover. Boil uncovered until the stock is reduced to a glaze. Celery Sauce. This sauce is to be served with vegetables. Take cream or rich milk and boil with pieces of celery till flavor is extracted. Remove it and season sauce with salt and pepper. Add butter, then a little flour for thickening. Divorce. "Divorce is a remedy for evil rather than an evil in itself," declared Chief Justice Emery of Maine, in a recent address. Marriage he defined as a civil institution, established by law for the benefit of man, and he suggested that the divorce laws could be perfected in three ways—first, by granting no divorce until husband and wife had lived apart for a year; second, by publishing the suits in the daily papers; third, by giving the court authority to delay hearings, if necessary, so that they cannot be rushed through as is sometimes the case now.—New York Tribune. Napoleon's Plan for Success. Once, in speaking of military affairs, Bonaparte told him: "There is no more pusillanimous man than I when I make a military plan. I exaggerate all the dangers and all the mishaps possible under the circumstances. I am in a painful state of agitation. But that does not prevent me from appearing quite serene to those about me. And when my mind is made up all is forgotten except whatever may help success."—From the Journal of Count Pierre Louis Roederer. 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."

POPE. 2223 Market St. St. Louis, Mo. Bell Phone Bomont $109 BRANCH OFFICE IN DENVER Conducted by A Passion for Old Hats. The group of islands known as the Nicobars, about one hundred and fifty miles south of the Andamans, has been but little explored, though the manners and customs of the inhabitants offer very interesting peculiarities to the ethnologist. One of the most noticeable of these is the passion for old hats. Young and old, chief and subject alike, endeavor to outvie one another in the singularity of shape no less than in the number of old hats they can acquire during their lifetime. On a fine morning at the Nicobars it is no unusual thing to see the surface of the ocean in the vicinity of the islands dotted over with canoes, in each of which the noble savage, with nothing on but the conventional slip of cloth and a tall white hat with a black band, may be watched catching fish for his daily meal. Second-hand hats are in most request, new ones being looked upon with suspicion and disfavor.—Wide World Magazine. Worthily Won Record. Brig. Gen. George H. Torney, the new surgeon general of the army, is a Baltimorean by birth, the Sun of that city says of him: "He achieved his principal distinction, perhaps, in the work of sanitation following the San Francisco earthquake and fire calamity in April, 1906. He was then in command of the hospital at the Presidio, and all the details of the army's medical relief work fell to him. The sanitary conditions of San Francisco were made safe within one week after the disaster. This work won for the new surgeon general enthusiastic public praise from the mayor of San Francisco, the governor of the state, the officials of the citizens' relief committee, the Red Cross authorities, Surgeon Gen. O'Reilly and even Secretary of War Taft. Mr. Taft has borne this record in his memory ever since." An Absurd Expression. Dr. W. J. Garnett writes to the London Saturday Review protesting against the phrase "By the skin of my teeth," as recently used by a well-known court official in one of his public addresses. Dr. Garnett points out that "these words so generally used are not only a misquotation, but a perversion of the meaning conveyed in the poem by the true text. Reference to the Book of Job, 19:20, will show the protagonist as made to say, not, 'I am escaped by the skin of my teeth,' but 'with the skin,' meaning, not 'I have escaped with great difficulty,' but 'destitute of everything I possessed, just as the teeth are destitute of skin.'" Dr. Garnett concludes: "The latter is appropriate and forcible, the former an absurd metaphor, and it is high time it were relegated to the same category as 'creating a Frankenstein,' and similar corrupt texts." Famous Women Linguist. Martelina Kramers of Rotterdam ranks among the first of women linguists. She can read and speak 13 languages, and there are few men in the world who can equal that record. Besides, she has sufficient knowledge of seven other languages to converse in them, and she has planned to add a new language to her list every six months for several years. Miss Kramers also ranks as one of the most influential suffragettes in Europe. She is editor of Jus Suffragil, the official organ of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, which has several branches in THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. is country. Miss Kramers is one of the most optimistic of the workers. she believes that within ten years America and all the countries in Europe will extend suffrage to women on equality with men. Sensing the Unlocked Door. "When I come home in the early morning," he said, "I have to get my key ready for the outside door. If it is cold this is a bother. Therefore I wait until I can get a look at the door. The hallboy sometimes leaves it unlocked. I have learned to tell whether the door is open without trying the handle. "It is an odd thing, too, that after practicing it a time I now can tell the moment I look at the door whether or not it is unlocked. The moment I get in front of the apartment house I look in through the glass of the vestibule and I feel instinctively whether I shall have to get out my key or not. It is a new sort of training. I don't know any one else who tries it." Ruined Fire Alarm System. For many years the residents of Murray, Ky., were notified of fire within the confines of their town by the discharging of guns, and this rather novel system proved so satisfactory that it was still in vogue up to within a few months ago. Then, however, came the night rider disturbances, and the discharge of guns became so frequent and misleading that in a number of instances the alarms for fire were disregarded. The mayor found it necessary to issue a circular, changing the alarm system from gun firing to the ringing of bells and blowing of whistles. 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 oops called in." Hard Life of Arctic Sealer. The Arctic sealer endures a hard life. Sealing does not consist only of hurried scrambling over ice, and fierce breathless battling afterwards. There are many hardships to endure. The most common type of Arctic weather is a dense, lung clogging fog, with a rasp of cold that is enough to freeze a glowing furnace. This fog may be diversified with cruel blizzards of pelting snow, borne on the wings of the constant gales. Once the snow passes come sleet and rain—rain that is as cold as ice. Misery prevails greatly among the crews of Arctic sealers, for the dampness and the cold soon sap the stoutest constitutions. Whistling Sign of Contempt. A Moroccan shows his contempt of anything by whistling. A conflict between tribesmen and a battalion of French troops was recently precipitated by the whistling of a locomotive on a railway being constructed near Casablanca. "The giaours are laughing at us," said a chieftain, when the construction engine gave a toot to warn the natives at work on the line to look out. The Arabs went wild, mounted their horses, and rode on the whistling enemy. They had to be calmed with the whistling of rifle "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."

I read with great interest the account in your paper, also the daily papers, contained the marriage of Jack Johnson in England. I wish to say in Mr. Johnson's defense that I have been with him for the past eight years and know more of his personal business than any one else. Jack Johnson was never married to either a white or colored woman in this country, and I am prepared to prove it, and I do not believe that he has married over in London. In my opinion, Tom Cahill of St. Louis, is trying to kill Jack's popularity, as all other Southern white men try to do when a colored man endeavors to advance. If the Associated Press believes Mr. Cahill's story, let them find a record of his marriage. Yours truly. HERBERT FUREY. Jack Johnson's Trainer. 1619 South Street, Philadelphia, Pa. February 4, 1909.
