SEPARATE SCHOOLS WILL WORK A HARDSHIP TWENTIETH YEAR SEPARATE WILL House Bill No. 303, introduced by p ; $ ^ { \cdot } $ . BhP etaoi shrdl cmfwy vbgk Mr. Metz of Pueblo, is now under consideration in the house committee on constitutional amendments. It seeks to open the way for the separation of school children according to race and color. It reads in part: Be it Enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado: Section 1. There shall be submitted to the qualified electors of the State of Colorado at the next general election of the members of the General Assembly for their approval or rejection, the following amendment to the Constitution of the State of Colorado, which when ratified by a majority of those voting thereon, shall be valid as a part of the Constitution, to wit: Section 8 of article 9, of the Constitution of the State of Colorado shall be amended so as to read as follows: Sec. 8. No religious test or qualification shall ever be required of any person as a condition of admission into any educational institution or the State, either as teacher or student; and no teacher or student of any such institution shall ever be requested to attend or participate in any religious service whatever. No sectarian tenets or doctrines shall ever be taught in the public schools, but the General Assembly may provide for the classification and separate education of pupils on account of race or color. It concludes with provisions for the necessary submission of the question to the voters at the next general election. There have been no outbreaks between the races in this state to warrant this un-American legislation; there is no general demand, even in public opinion for it, nor can arguments be found to justify it. Law is a rule enforcing some act of duty or prohibiting some wrong. In this case, it certainly belies its name, for so far from preventing one person from encroaching on the rights of another, it --- SCHOOLS WORK A HA --- deliberately prepares the way for such encroachment. It may be that Mr. Metz does not aim his measure at Negroes, but since we are the largest element of American citizenship differing in race from the Caucasians, we are the ones most likely to be effected. It is nonsense to tell us that separate schools will provide employment for our graduates. There are not 5,000 colored persons in the whole state of school age. All of these under present conditions do not go to school. If they will not do so now, with schools on every hand, what will they do when separation will confine us to certain schools with the difficulty of attendance greatly increased? For every dollar which colored teachers would receive in salaries in this state under separation, the race and the state would lose ten through the ignorance the system would foster, when the children on this generation grow to manhood. We are arguing on the basis of school accommodations being given sufficient to seat our children such as would attend, not on the basis of school boards setting up a separate school in every section in which it now maintains schools. It is unbelievable that any city would maintain a corps of teachers with the same equipment, to instruct a handful of Negro children as now teach the thousands of all races. Either one teacher would handle all grades in one room to the detriment of the pupils, or we would be assembled from all parts of the city in one building, and the latter is more probable. To send children through the streets for long distance means either car fare or vagrancy or both. Colorado's compulsory school laws are a long step toward a better citizenship. Mr. Metz's bill is a step just the other way. The more ignorant elements of the people need the best educational advantages. For the legislature to pass this bill is to say that tit does not believe in Negro education. It is to coincide with the reactionists of the South, who claim State Historian & Natural History Society SATURDAY FEBRUARY 27 1909 HARDSHIP education spoils a good field hand. We understand thoroughly this bill is not mandatory in requiring separate schools, but if Metz does not mean to pile the statutes up with dead laws, he expects its provisions to be used, and that outcome is what we fear. As tax payers, we have just complaints on the schools as they now are. We should not be barred from teaching in them upon the showing of competency, but it is better far that the few who could be teachers be deprived of opportunity than that the whole race should suffer. We should be spared the occasional indignities which small minded white teachers put upon us. For instance, we state upon the authority of the pupil himself, that Mr. Smiley, principal of the High School of this city, undertook to lecture him upon the impropriety of colored children going to Denver schools. The separate schools of the South, he said, were their proper places, and apparently regretted his inability to bar them from the schools. We have heard of Mr. Smiley's littleness before, and it certainly takes gall to tell the son of a taxpayer, even if he is colored that he is not wanted in the schools parents help maintain. No wonder colored children get discouraged in the High School! Yet, with all that, we will live to laugh at Smiley, and we will go further and agree to get along with him and all his kind before we will bear the extra expense of sending our children clear across the city to separate schools. We could enumerate many other arguments against the bill but we content ourselves with this one of the increased cost to parents and inconvenience to children, and leave it to the fairness of the legislature whether it becomes the powerful white race to take such an advantage of us because we are powerless to resist. --- mini From Over the Ocean Band, 25th Infantry, Parang, P. I., Jan. 4, 1909. Editor The Statesman: We have a good number of the better class of men in the ranks whom I hope you will meet when we arrive at Fort Logan. I am well known by Mr. John N. Norton of Logan Town. I succeeded him as band leader. We have a good literary society and many athletes among us. Our chaplain, O. J. W. Scott, is well known to Denver residents. He is now in charge at the division athletic meet of divine services at Manilla, P. I. His family is with him, guests of Major Anderson, chaplain of the Tenth Cavalry (all colored). We have one colored lieutenant, Green. He is a fine gentleman, well liked by his men. We have some good women soldiers, wives, etc., who will be glad to get into a Denver church. I am sure it will be like home. I would thank you to print as much or this as you like in your paper, and as a recommendation for our band print a few of the programs enclosed. They were played for the officers of the Pacific naval fleet. I would like to hear from musicians, ladies or gents, and thus get acquainted before I arrive. Regards to all.

Don't Annoy People by Comparisons That Are Humiliating. When you start in to say plain things to anybody be sure to use plain words and not idioms. Never use figures of speech when rebuking others, for in time your helpful rebuke may be forgotten, but the tang of the biting figure will never be forgotten, and perhaps not forgiven. For example, you might want to tell a conservative person he was not up to the times in some particular matter, but don't call him a fossil—he would never forget it. There is a good deal in a name. Never call a person a crank—crank's a figure of speech. Simply say "You have an odd way of looking at things." This will please, as it suggests individuality, and not eccentricity or worse. Picturesque language is only interesting when applied to things. People don't like it when applied personally. People don't like to be placed in a comical and spectacular light, and that's where picturesque language is apt to place them. Whatever a person's characteristics may be don't call him a mule, or her a zany. The clearer the definition the deeper the resentment. Better not call people names, anyway—it only arouses a lot of feeling which is slow to simmer down. Nothing annoys a person more than to be called some ridiculous name—it doesn't seem to set well. In other words, use plain verbs, and cut out the nouns and adjectives, and you will not make many enemies.—Newark News. YOUTHFUL SCOT WELL VERSED. Prompt and Concise Answer to Categorical Question. Boston, Massachusetts, has long enjoyed the reputation of having exceedingly learned children who are able, so it is said, to dispute on subjects far above the heads of their elders of other regions. But Boston is not unique. In a book entitled "The Scot of the Eighteenth Century" Ian Maclaren describes a similar characteristic of the Caledonian. It is the inevitable tendency of the Scot's mind to follow out every line to its terminus, even if it be over a precipice, and to divide every hair till infinity is touched. It is not only in church courts, but in market places and in railway stations, in humble cottages as well as in university societies that the Scot is disputing, in every spare moment of his time, from morning till night. The story goes that a minister overheard a mother questioning her child, as it supped its porridge, after the day's work was done. "What," said this austere mother, "is the true relation between kirk and state, according to the principles of the Free church?" And the favored child promptly replied: "Co-ordinate jurisdiction with mutual subordination."—Youth's Companion. Nothing Doing. "'Scuse me, boss," said the unlaun dered hobo who had drifted into the private office, "but dey iz t'ree uv us. Can't youse give each uv us a dime fer a night's lodgin'?" "Get out of here!" yelled the man behind the desk. "Do you mean to insinuate that I look like 30 cents? Fade away!" THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. STRANGE, YET HAPPY FAMILY. Extraordinary Happening Vouched For by Truthful Sailor. "Happy families!" said the sailor. "There ain't no man livin' ever seen the happy family I once saw—seed, rather. "It was at La Barte, the port o' Bayonne, where the bayonets come from. I was strollin' acrost one o' them there salt medders full o' small white snails, when all of a sudden I gasped and cast anchor. "A cow on a hilltop was bein' milked simultaneously by a pig, a snake and a dog. "I watched that milkin' several minutes. The cow enjoyed it—cows allus do, you know—and the happy family milked away ravenously. "Miss Snake got oneasy first. She let go her holt, and droppin' to the grass, slid off. "Then Mr. Pig got enough and trotted away with a satisfied grunt. Last to go was the dog. "I've saw queer sights all over the world," the sailor concluded, "but the queerest of 'em all was that there happy family takin' its milk at La Barre." The druggist laughed coldly. "It wasn't milk," he said, "that you'd been taking at the bar, I'll wager." COMPENSATION FOUND IN COLD Has Stimulating Effect on the Brain, According to Writer. I have often asked to be told why it is that a man with a cold in the head feels himself to be a superior sort of being to the man with no cold. You must have observed for yourself that this is the case. Take indeed, your own cold. You refer to it, thirty or forty times a day, as "My cold." You feel quite sure that everybody you meet will know that you have a cold, and that everybody will be interested in its progress. You will find yourself, when in the full enjoyment of a cold, airing opinions that you would certainly keep to yourself under normal conditions, and casually contradicting the statements of those for whom, as a matter of fact, you cherish a very sincere respect. There must be some simple physiological explanation for this, and I should be greatly obliged if some medical reader would put me in the way of understanding it. Is it that the cold acts in some soothing way upon the nerves, thus freeing the self-conscious man, temporarily, from his timidity? Or is it that the fever accompanying a cold has a stimulating effect upon an otherwise slightly torpid brain? Moistening the Air. "Why, whatever is that for?" asked a caller of a Harlem housewife, as she sighted a deep pan, holding about two quarts of water, which was steaming merrily on top of the steam radiator in the parlor. "That is to keep the furniture from falling apart and the piano from going to rack and ruin," replied the housewife. "It is something I learned in the natural gas country, and if other people did the same they would not suffer so much with headaches when they are shut in hot, steam-heated apartments these cold days, nor would their furniture warp and crack or the glue dry up and fall out of the joints. Steam heat is as dry almost as natural gas heat, and where natural gas is used a pot or pan of water must be kept on the stove or fireplace. the steam aris- English Money Colined in Canada. English gold sovereigns were coined on the North American continent for the first time in 1908, when a limited number of these pieces were struck at the newly-opened Canadian mint at Ottawa. Permission to strike these coins, it is said, was given by the British authorities as a special privilege to mark the beginning of operations and extended only up to December 31, 1908, after which the mint was to confine itself to making silver and bronze coins. Homage to Brawn. The triumphs of the scholar the public regards as individual; the prowess of the athlete is popularly held to establish the name and fame of his college. Of course, this is unreasonable, for the reputation of a university as an institution of learning should depend upon the liberal education she gives to those within her gates. But it is quite true that, despite the excellent reasons why it should not do so, the public continues to pay homage to brawn rather than brain, in so far as the undergraduate is concerned. Poorly Paid for Great Wor Oliver Goldsmith was an underpaid man from start to finish. Fifty pounds ($250) for "The Vicar of Wakefield" was bad enough, yet for "The Traveler" he got but £20 ($100) and £5 ($25) for his "English Grammar." For "The Deserted Village," however, his publisher sent him 100 gulneas ($500). This he at once returned, with the message: "It is too much; it is near five shillings a couplet, which is more than any bookseller can afford or, indeed, any modern poetry is worth." So he died with $10,000 worth of debts. "Was ever poet so trusted before?" said Dr. Johnson. How We Learn. Art is long, life short, judgment difficult, occasion transient. To act is easy, to think is hard; to act according to our thought is troublesome. Every beginning is cheerful; the threshold is the place of expectation. The boy stands astonished, his impressions guide him; he learns sportfully, seriousness come on him by surprise. Imitation is born with us; what should he imitate is not easy to discover. The excellent is rarely found, more rarely valued. The height charms us, the steps to it do not; with the summit in our eye, we love to walk along the plain.—Goethe. Novel Kite Game. The manner in which kites can be manipulated is well illustrated by the game of Vakata. This game is best played with squads of ten or less a side equipped with ordinary Indian kites of tissue paper and reels like dumbbells. The game is to fly your kite so that it cuts the string of an opponent's kite by sawing it, rescues being effected by Red Cross kites so manipulated that they get underneath and pick up the falling kite. Telepathic Warnings. "You are so telepathic," said the girl to her hostess, "did you have any premonition of our coming up here to see you?" "I remember having several awful nightmares," the woman said. PAGE. 10. Absolute Sincerity in All Things Marks Men of Standing. Sincerity is made up of two words—sine and cere—sine, without, and cere, wax; without wax. And it means absolutely pure, transparent. The human mind is constructed for truth telling. This is its normal condition, and under the exercise of true living and true thinking the character becomes strong and robust. Wholeness, completeness, comes into the life from truth, from sincerity; but the moment we attempt to twist the mind into expressing deceit it becomes abnormal and works all sorts of harm to the character. I have in mind a very brilliant writer who exchanges his talent for cash in political campaigns. He has written some of the best campaign documents for all political parties, but the lack of sincerity in his character so discounts his personality and ability that he has no standing as a man. He is recognized as a brilliant writer, but as a man totally without convictions. There is something in the mind itself which thrives upon sincerity and which protests against all that is false, against all sham. Nothing ever quite satisfies this longing but absolute truth. The mind quickly becomes sickly and weak when forced to express what is false.—Orison Swett Marden, in Success Magazine. EVIDENTLY WASN'T A LINGUIST. Lawyer's Question Brought Truth from Puzzled Witness. An Irish lawyer who used to have an extensive practice in the criminal courts of New York was once engaged to defend a Jew charged with setting fire to his store. He felt so confident of being able to have his client acquitted that he put him on the witness stand. "Now, my good man," he began, "remember, you are on your oath. You stand here charged by the people of the state of New York with a terrible crime. I want you to look the jurymen in the face and tell them you are not guilty of this cowardly deed. Are you or are you not guilty of this charge of arson?" The Jew, who had never heard the word arson used before, and thinking it was some new charge, tried to save himself. In a thoroughly frightened tone, he answered: "No, chudge, your honor, I am not guilty of arson. All I done vos to make der fire." Our Serious Young Men. "One of the things that strikes me as so very curious about your young," remarked a visitor from Canada, "is the expression of extreme seriousness that they wear when entering or leaving a place lilke this," and he waved his hand, as if to take in the restaurant at one comprehensive sweep. "Since I have been sitting here probably twenty young men, nice, hearty looking lads, have passed us, and they all have worn the same expression—as if the responsibilities of running the whole world were on their shoulders. Not one of them has smiled, although they were in parties clearly out to enjoy themselves, and as for laughing, that seems unheard of. What on earth is the matter with them, do you think?" WHEN THE PHRENOLOGIST FELL. His Knowledge of Horses Was Evidently a Weak Point. Mayor Reyburn of Philadelphia told at a dinner a horse story. "A farmer visited a phrenologist," he said. "He had heard that the phrenologist thought of buying a horse. He had his head examined and his bumps revealed surprising things. "Your tastes are the simple, homely and pure tastes of a farmer,' said the phrenologist, 'and a farmer I take you to be. Am I not right? Aha, I thought so. You are unready and faltering in speech; you find it difficult to express the simplest ideas. You are sadly deficient in judgment and have no knowledge of human nature. Your innocent and trustful disposition renders you an easy dupe to designing men, and your own perfect honesty prevents you from either suspecting or defrauding any one." "The phrenologist the following week bought a horse from the farmer. The horse was knock-kneed, it was 25 years old, it had a bad temper, and it balked. Though the farmer had only paid $15 for the animal, he secured without difficulty $150 from the phrenologist for it. "'It's wonderful,' said the farmer to himself, as he hastened toward the bank to deposit the money—'it's jest wonderful that a man should know so much about men and not know a thing about hosses!'"—Detroit Free Press. ALWAYS SOURCE OF WEAKNESS Pretense Detracts from the Power to Accomplish. There is nothing which will add so much to one's power as the consciousness of being absolutely sincere, genuine. If your life is a perpetual lie, if you are conscious that you are not what you pretend to be—that you are really a different person from what the world regards you—you are not strong. There is a restraint, a perpetual fighting against the truth going on within you, a struggle which saps your energy and warps your conduct. If there is a mote at the bottom of your eye you cannot look the world squarely in the face. Your vision is not clear. Everybody sees that you are not transparent. There is a cloudiness, a haze about your character, which raises the interrogation point where you go. Character alone is strength, deceit is weakness, sham and shoddy are powerless, and only the genuine and the true are worth while.—Exchange. Blessings of Idleness. Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other things. And it is not by any means certain that a man's business is the most important thing he has to do. To an impartial estimate it will seem clear that many of the wisest, most beneficent parts that are to be played upon the theater of life are filled by gratuitous performers, and pass among the world at large as phases of idleness. For in that theater not only the working gentlemen, singing chambermaids and diligent fiddlers in the orchestra, but those who look on and clap their hands from the benches, do really play a part and fill important offices toward the general result.—Robert Louis Stevenson.

Hazlitt's "English Proverbs" gives the proverb as "Betwixt the devil and the Dead sea," and quotes it from Clarke's "Paroemiologia," 1639, and adds this note of explanation: "On the horns of a dilemma. In Cornwall they say 'deep' sea, which may be right." Reddall's "Fact, Fancy and Fable" gives the following explanation of the proverb: "This expression is used by Col. Monroe in his 'Expedition with Mackay's Regiment,' printed in London in 1637. The regiment was with the army of Gustavus Adolphus and was engaged in a battle with the Austrians. The Swedish gunners did not elevate their guns sufficiently, and their shot fell among this Scottish regiment, so that 'we were between the devil and the deep sea.'" A Long Sentence. The prize for the longest sentence ever written may fairly be awarded to the elder Dumas, who probably holds a further record for fertility of production. In the seventh of the 29 volumes which compose the "Impressions de Voyage," there is a sentence describing Benvenuto Cellini, which fills three pages, or 108 lines, averaging 45 letters apiece. The sentence is broken by 68 commas and 60 semicolons; but as it contains 195 verbs and 122 proper names, the reader is somewhat bewildered before the end is reached. Wise Men. Although a wise man is exacting toward himself he does not demand anything of others. He is content with his lot and never complains of heaven. He never blames others for his fate—therefore, when he finds himself in a low state, he submits to fate. An ordinary mortal, seeking earthly bliss, falls into dangers. When the arrow does not hit the target he who shoots it blames only himself and no one else. Even so does the wise man act.—Confucius. Our Helpful Maids. Louise—I'm in an awful boat.

Three members of the Manhattan Fat Men's club who are in training for the forthcoming annual championship eating contest met at 244 East Third street to settle a private wager of $50 as to which of the trio could get outside of the most food, the New York World says. Here is what they consumed: Ex-Alderman Frank J. Dotzier, who weighs 380 pounds, 275 oysters, 8½ pounds of steak, 12 rolls, 11 cups of coffee, three large pies. Jack Gossman, who weighs 315 pounds, 210 oysters, six pounds of steak, nine rolls, ten cups of coffee, three large pies. Jack Probst, who weighs 320 pounds, 190 oysters, 12 pounds of steak, ten rolls, six cups of coffee, four pies. Peter Balvado, the referee, awarded the $50 to Dotzier, who had hard work pushing the money into his vest pocket. A dozen other members of the club who were present as watchers, got so interested in the contest that their mouths opened and shut automatically, as the trio ate. Finally they all began to howl for some food for themselves. "It's all gone," said Balvado. With loud cries the 12 rushed out to a restaurant. ICELANDIC FORM OF PEDIGREE. Simple But Effective Manner of Keeping the Record. The inhabitants of Iceland have kept their pedigrees in a zealous way. Numbers of them can trace their descent from the Vikings who emigrated from Norway to Iceland in the ninth century. Unlike many other countries, there have never been really any nobles in this island, the nation having ever been a republic in spirit. Consequent upon the smallness of the population there has been a considerable amount of inbreeding, and all Icelanders seem to be cousins. There is an old Icelandic adage which translated into English reads: "Cousins are worst to cousins." The most curious circumstance in this connection is that there are scarcely any surnames, as known on the American continent. As a distinctive mark an Icelander places his father's Christian name after his own Christian name, adding to the former 'sson,' which signifies "the son of," and this is continued from generation to generation. An Icelandic pedigree reads as follows: Thorstein Asgiersson, Sigurd Thorsteinsson, Einar Sigurdsson, Baldur Einarsson, Thorstein Baldursson, Hafstein Thorsteinsson, and so on.

Those who have not lived in India nor have made a special study of its unique conditions can hardly understand the differences and hatreds that exist among the different peoples. Between the Mussulman and the Hindu, the Punjabi and the Bengali, the Sikh and the Brahmin, and between many of the smaller divisions of religion, race and caste there is no such thing as cohesion or co-operation; and if, to a small degree, the rigid lines of caste have been broken down here and there so that labor and commerce under modern conditions have been made possible it is due in no small degree to the efforts of Great Britain. No Chance for a Romance. A young woman living in the neighborhood of Thirty-third and Cumberland streets the other morning bought at a near-by grocery a dozen eggs. On one among them there was scratched the name, with address, of a young farmer up the state. He had also written on the egg a request that the person buying it write to him. The young woman wrote a letter to the tiller of the soil and received an answer in which the farmer declared himself pleased at having heard from her, etc. He wound his letter up with: "I hope you did not eat the egg, as I wrote that on it a year ago."—Philadelphia Record. Peroxide Sure Death to Germs. No family medicine chest should be without peroxide of hydrogen. This is of the greatest value in disinfecting any abrasions of the skin which may have been suffeerd. It destroys all germs with which it comes in contact, and should be immediately applied to pin pricks or any other of the so-called trifling hurts. As a matter of fact a pin wound is often more dangerous than one a hundred times its size, for the point may contain some deadly poison which is infected before the prick is even noticed. 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." TREATED AS A GOOD FRIEND Intimate Association Between the Arab and His Horse. It is most interesting to note the way the Arab treats his faithful friends. So inured, indeed, is the Arab pony by long usage and descent to the manner of life in the desert that even my own pony positively improved on the treatment and I never saw him so fit as when he came back from the trip. If the Arab and his horse are by legend closely allied, they are in point of fact even more intimately connected. His mount is his first thought, and at all times by far the most interesting topic of conversation. He is ungroomed, unclipped, unhaltered, for the Arab prefers to shackle him by means of two ropes, a short cord connecting the fore and hind fetlocks and a long line tethering him above the hind fetlock to a peg in the ground. Thus he can move about or roll at leisure, and should there be any rough herbage at hand can forage for it. Perhaps one of the principal reasons why the Arab so excels at long journeys is that the never worries himself nor does he ever distress his mount unless there is real cause to do so. He simply continues a steady walk all day and hardly ever gallops in the wild way in which one so often sees them depicted by artists. SMALL BOY'S PATHETIC WISH. Story with a Moral for Some Over Occupied Mothers. He is a poor little neglected boy, whose mamma is so busy with mothers' meetings and club conventions and such important matters that she really hasn't time to attend to her children, says the New York Times. This little boy was entertaining a casual caller while his mother was upstairs putting the finishing touches to her toilet. Said the little boy, whose own toilet was sadly in need of attention: "What does e. t. c. mean?" "E. t. c.?" asked the caller. "Yes," said the little boy. "It's a sort of a word. It's in a book I was reading." "Oh," said the caller. "Etc. is an abbreviation. It is Latin. It stands for et cetera." The little boy looked puzzled. "I'm not in Latin yet," he said. "Et cetera," explained the caller, "means—well, it means 'and so on.'" The little boy was thoughtful for a moment, and then he said: "I wish my mamma could find time to et cetera the buttons on my pants!" And taking in his disheveled appearance, the visitor murmured. "Amen." Ways of Raising Money for Charity. From times immemorial in China, a donation of 20,000 taels to charity has secured for the donor the much-prized peacock's feather, while for half that sum a title of nobility is conferred on one's ancestors to the third generation. The late emperor of Brazil followed the same method when erecting a hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Having found difficulty in obtaining the necessary funds, he announced that the title of "baron" was to be conferred on every subscriber of 100,000 milreis and that of "count" on subscribers of 250,000 milreis. This announcement produced the desired effect, and the hospital was soon completed. The opening ceremony was performed by the emperor and attended by a large number of the newly ennobled, who did not altogether relish the words inscribed in letters of gold on the gable of the new building: "Human Vanity to Human Misery." At the Turn of the Road. In the perspective from the turn of the road we may now see how many times the paralyzing hand of procrastination touched the good deeds we meant to do, the golden dreams we longed to transform into actualities. We wished to do, and we wanted to do, but we did not will to do. The fault was not in conditions, but in us. We were not equal to opportunities. It is a false philosophy that teaches that opportunity calls only once at any man's house. It comes with the persistency of an importunate creditor, always in a new guise, and clamors for admission, but we may be too busy to answer the bell.—Circle Magazine. Tactful Society Woman. One of the best known women in society, who is remarkable for having no enemies, laughingly said not long ago that she attributed her popularity to never letting those she disliked know of it by any word of hers. "I avoid discussing any unpleasant person," she continued, "and I also never join any social club where a member is included that I do not care to invite to my house. By this means I am free to do as I please, and I also never offend my own friends by having persons that I know they dislike at my house when they are there, as that is questionable hospitality." Coming Events Cast Shadows Barber (looking for business)—Excuse me, sir, but your hair is going to come out soon by the handful. Jaggs (who was out all night and is just going home to face his wife)—You (hic) shpose I don't know (hic) that?—The Bohemian. On the Levee. "Lemme tell yer some'n.

When a telephone line is electrostatically charged the telephone acts as a condenser. The winding serves as one plate of the condenser, the frame of the receiver as the dielectric and the person who is holding the receiver to his ear as the other plate of the condenser. In order to prevent this condenser from discharging through the person, a German inventor provides a grounded metallic cover for the receiver, the capacity of which is somewhat greater than that of the body. Large Catch of Herrir. The east coast herring fishing has been brought to a close and the boats are being rapidly made up and the crews paid off. At Yarmouth and Lowerstoff the total catch has been, in round figures, 77,360 lasts, or 1,011,152,000 fish. What the retail value would be is difficult to estimate, but at three a penny—and seldom are they even hawked about the streets at a cheaper rate—the sum works out at £1,404,462.—London News. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. square deal. Lincoln's birthday was well observed in our city by all classes of citizens. A mammoth mass meeting was held in the Elks' Opera House in the afternoon. In the evening, under the auspices of the Langston Literary Society at A. M. E. church, was carried out an excellent programme. Singing of national hymns and essays were made by students of intelligence. Addresses were delivered by Rev. James Washington, Mev. M. Jones and T. O. Mason. The Literary Society is receiving much praise for the manner in which they carried out the Lincoln Day exercises. The A. M. E. church choir gave a fine sacred song concert last Sunday evening led by the chorister, Mrs. L. S. Black. Nearly every member of the choir sang a solo that pleased the large audience. Each individual gave evidence that they were undergoing a fine course of voice culture. After the services Rev. Washington announced that he wanted a grand rally for the benefit of the old preachers' home to be erected in Colorado Springs on the property given to the conference by Gen. Palmer. A neat sum was raised for the occasion. H. Blamlett, M. W. of the Eureka Lodge No. 19, A. F. & A. M., is making a successful mast of the lodge. Six new members were added to the roll last meeting night, which is evidence the lodge of prospering. Mrs. Johnnie Cornell had a success with her Vlanetine social last Monday evening for the benefit of the church. Geo. Klock has succeeded F. W. Clancy as district attorney for this district. Mrs. Geo. Plumb entertains at an elaborate spread Mr. and Mrs. John Hunter, Mrs. Cochran, Mrs. Lockett and Mr. John Kenner. 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. 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. 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.

PUEBLO, COLO. Harry Marshall's comedy drama company scored a hit Tuesday night, February 12, at Messemer city hall, with their clever comedy entitled, "Bubble's Troubles." They had a very large and appreciative audience. This is the second time this company has presented that play this year. The first performance was given January 5 at the A. M. E. church, but the church being too small to accommodate the people at one performance, the play was given again last night. The cast: Hiram Bubbles (affilicted with deafness), Mr. M. W. Moore; Fannie (his daughter), Miss Geraldine Marchbanks; Geo. Kenney (alias Captain Smith), Mr. John Glover; Barnaby Bibbs (married but not mated), Harry J. P. Marshall; Mrs. Barnaby Bibbs (married but not mated), Mrs. Harry Marshall; Peach Blossom. Mrs. Jennie Marshall; Peter (Mr. Bubble's servant), Theo. Marshall. Several songs were introduced throughout the evening, all of which made a decided hit with the audience. The evening's entertainment was concluded with the "Bowery Bum and Broadway Swell," rendered as only Mr. Marshall and his son can do it. Miss Geraldine Marchbanks opened the evening's entertainment with an address entitled, "The Afro-American Citizen," which was very appropriate for the occasion. Miss Marchbanks held her audience charmed as usual by her graceful and easy delivery, and was applauded to the echo. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Marshall's rendition of "I've Said My Last Farewell" was very clever and highly enjoyed by all. Peter and Beach Blossom also deserve special mention because of the striking and effective way they played and sang "Why Don't You Try." The musical part was arranged and directed by Mrs. Percy Lawrence, who showed herself in every respect an able and accomplished musician. The entertainment was in every way a success and the company is much enthused by the results. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. Rev. A. E. Henderson, pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist church, who was ordained as a minister in this city a few months ago and was immediately called to pastor the church which he now pastors, is improving rapidly as an orator and a theological scholar and is congregation is well pleased with his efforts. Rev. Henderson in connection with his church has started the erection of a fine brick edifice in front of the church they now worship, which will be used as a parsonage when the new one is completed. We are pleased to note the progressiveness of the Mt. Olive church and we trust that God will speed them on their way. C. N.

PAGE.16 SHORTER STARTS UNIQUE REVIVAL—CHURCH CROWDED SINGING EXCELLENT. If you want to be in one of those live meetings where the Holy Ghost meets you at the door; if you want your heart to be stirred to its uttermost depths by real hearty singing, and if you want your soul to silently leap for joy, just spend one evening at Shorter during the revival period. You will be a constant attendant after you hear those fifty trained voices sing God's praises with all of their might and after such strong, pathetic and stirring sermons has been preached to you as did Revs. Reynolds and Owens preach this week. The praying battallion is there in full force every night after a series of prayers in their cottage prayer meeting. The house is full of spiritual matter from the time you enter until you leave. When Rev. Ward showed in such a simple manner how true was the life when lived by a principle and how untrue when lived by no plan, no aim, no method and so haphazardly as is characteristic of the sinner's life, the whole audience was moved to silence. A great joy was experienced when the prayers of the faithful were being answered nightly, and more joy is expected next week when standing room will be a premium. LADIES. ATTENTION! H. B.

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

Had we ministers trained and worked for a business life as we train and work for the ministry, and lived as economically as we have in the ministry, many of us could have accumulated fortunes ere this. I should like to know if there is any class of men on earth who get more out of the use of their money than the ministers. Show me any other class of men on earth with an average salary of $12 a week who dress so well, live so well, educate their families so well, give so much and save so much for a rainy day, and I will yield my point. Business men rarely realize the sacrifice ministers make. I once tried to persuade a man of large possessions, who is making $25,000 a year, to give up his business and accept a position in our denominational work, which would bring him in $2,500. He almost had a fit at the very suggestion. We do not envy our business classmates who have won fame or accumulated wealth, for in so doing they have had to forego the heavenly privileges which we have enjoyed. We do not want to be pitied, we are not objects of charity, and we are contented with our lot.—Rev. Dr. Curtis Lee Laws, in Leslie's Weekly. REAL LIVELY SPORTING EVENT. All Sorts of Things Happened at Tobacco-Chewing Marathon. "No sport around here?" drawled the old storekeeper at Bacon Ridge, reflectively. "Why, young man, yeou are away off. Yeou just should have been around here last Saturday night and seen our tobacco-chawing Marathon." "Tobacco-chewing Marathon?" gasped the corn-starch drummer in surprise. "Yes, sirree! It was the liveliest sporting event in the state. Yeou see, old Squire Weatherby claimed that he could chaw more tobacco in an hour than any man in the village. Seth Wheatley took him up. Wall, as the crowd was standing around and betting on their favorites and Seth had chawed up six plugs, a little piece slipped down his throat and made him sneeze. Wall, sir, there was a case of fine pepper at that end of the counter and as Seth sneezed the pepper went up in a cloud, and then everybody sneezed. Some of it got in old man Hardapple's eyes and he pulled off his coat and wanted to fight. Then somebody upset the stove and scared the cat. When it was all over Josh Weatherby found his watch had been stolen by a horse trader who had crept in to get warm. Sport? Wall, give me a tobacco-chawing Marathon every time." Closing the Question. The Sunday school teacher, being aware that the rector intended visiting the church during this Sabbath's school session, drilled her little class on such important questions as "Who made them," etc., until he felt sure that should the clergyman deign to quiz her charges they would do themselves and her credit. Hardly had she so concluded, when the church door opened and in strode the rector, who passed along the rows of buzzing pews until he reached this very cluster of pupils, which he at once proceeded to take in hand. "Now, my boy," asked he, picking out a youngster in the end of the THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD pew, who made year God made me," blurted the youth, glancing appealingly at his more familiar teacher. Then suddenly encouraged by her eyes, he boldly faced the minister and added, unexpectedly, "an' he made the whole bunch!"— Circle Magazine. Too Many for Him An American traveling in Germany was much bewildered at the large number of distinct and apparently independent countries through which he went. Just as he became accustomed to Bavaria, with its blue and white national colors, he would find himself, without warning in Wurtemburg, where they have an entirely different king, and entirely different military uniforms, and a strikingly different dialect. Then a few hours' ride on a train whisked him into Saxony, and then it was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and then Saxe-Weimar, and then Baden, and then Hesse Darmstadt. At last he threw up his hands in despair. "Where are we now?" he inquired. "Frankfurt-on-the-Main." "Who is the local duke?" he asked, wearily. World's Coldest City. Yakutsk, in eastern Siberia, is said to be the coldest city in the world. It is the great commercial emporium of eastern Siberia and the capital of the province of Yakutsky, which in most of its area of 1,517,063 square miles is a bare desert, the soil of which is frozen to a great depth. Yakutsky consists of about four hundred houses of European structure, standing apart. The intervening spaces are occupied by winter yoorts, or huts of the northern nomads, with earthen roofs. The doors are covered with hairy hides and the windows are of ice. Betrayed. He was very, very young, but extremely desirous of appearing the pink of sophistication. So he strolled into the gay cafe and stood nonchalantly before the bar, like a genuine man of the world. "Do you—er—keep cocktails?" he inquired, airily. He did not join in the ensuing laugh. Abjuring His Allegiance. Judge Lowell of the United States circuit court in speaking before the Channing club the other night on naturalization cited many numerous instances of would-be citizens who had been coached for the examination before the court, but who fell down when an unexpected question was asked. "I asked a Turk," said Judge Lowell, "as to whether he understood what was meant when he swore to abjure all allegiance to the sultan." "Sure," was the answer. "What is meant?" "To —— with Turkey."—Boston Record. Wearlsome Words. There is nothing tires one more than words, when they clatter like a loose window shaken by the winds. A talkative fellow may be compared to an unbraced drum, which beats a wise man out of his wits. Surely nature did not guard the tongue with the double fence of teeth and lips, without meaning that it should not move too nimbly. When a scholar full of words applied to Socrates for instruction, the latter demanded of him a double fee! one to teach him to speak well; another to teach him to hold his peace.—Owen Feltham.

Deep calls upon deep; and the harmony of sound, though appealing primarily to the outward ear, must be answered by a harmony from within ourselves. The more culture we bring to the hearing of music, the wider our sympathy, the more exquisite will be the echoes which it awakens in the soul. If we would understand the composer's message, we must co-operate with him. We must reach out to him with all our faculties. If we do that, the revelation of music will ceaselessly renew its beauty, ever turning unimagined aspects to gladden us.—Redfern Mason, in Atlantic. Making a Fine Character. The sweetest bread that any man or woman ever ate is that which is won by their own energy, or deserved by their usefulness. Whether labor be that of the hand or the head, there is dignity in it. Do not stand around with arms akibbo until occasion tells you what to do; don't live in hope with your arms folded. Fortune smiles on those who roll up their sleeves, put their shoulders to the wheel and push! To begin at the very foot of the hill and work slowly up to the top may be a very discouraging process, but it is precisely at this spot where so many begin to spoil their lives.—Exchange. Real Meaning of "Cravat." "Cravat," or ratther the French "cravate," means simply Croatian; Hume, the historian, for instance, speaks of certain troops as "Cravates and Tartars, Hussards and Cossacs." But the French borrowed the word for the new neckwear introduced among them in imitation of the linen scarfs worn by the Croatian mercenaries whom they saw during the Thirty Years' war. In English "cravat" has ranged in meaning from a tie to a comforter and has varied also in pronunciation, both Pope and Dryden accenting the word upon the first syllable. --- FRUITS ruits, Meats, Delicatessen R THE COMING WEEK MEATS In this Department there is nothing lacking: Beef, Mutton and Pork Try our Roasts and Steaks ROVISIONS 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.

Occasionally you may set a person right, but be sure you know the person, and don't get a reputation for that sort of thing. People like to be right, and get right, but not set right, at least in a too direct way. Of course we are concerned here with polite society. You are expected to set people right in politics, business and other impolite circles, and set hard. The way some contractors talk to their employes who dig sewers for them is, to say the least, impolite, and the compliments passed and repassed between irate rulers and the houses of representatives are far from pretty, but in these spheres it is considered not bad form to set folks right. Not so in the charmed circle of polite society. Here a correction must be so inferential that it will not hit for several days, and then feel like a cotton bat. Never by any means correct a pronunciation, for you will likely never make peace with the outraged party. Nothing less intricate tthan a Chinese character may be disputed. Nobody is annoyed at that. We once knew a truly good minister, who had a country charge, where the people were fairly well educated, though they did not always express themselves in sentences strictly grammatical and literary. The rector was a stickler for good language, and had a way of setting everybody right while in conversation. As his people thought he ought to set them right in other lines exclusively, his stay among them was brief—Newark News. Took Precautions. "You ran into this man at 30 miles an hour and knocked him 40 feet," said the court. "That, or a little better, I suppose," answered the chauffeur. "Why didn't you slow down?" "Mere precaution, your honor. Once I shut off speed and hit a man so gently that he was able to climb into the machine and give me a licking" MEATS Rooms-31-2 Good Block. Office Phone Main 5595.

Man With Golden Opportunity Had Called at Unfortunate Time. "Now, my dear sir," earnestly began the suave stranger, with the up-tilted cigar and unauthenticated diamond, "these handsomely engraved bonds of the Consolidated Mexican Milkweed Rubber Company, which are positively guaranteed to return a 69 per cent. semi-annual dividend, and—" "I don't really s'pose you can do much dealing in 'em around here, Mr. Slicksmith," frankly interrupted the landlord of the tavern at Skedee Corners. "You see, the only man in the community who might otherwise take an interest in your glittering proposition has been for some time engaged in the payment of an election bet wherein he was solemnly sworn to roll a peanut eight miles by means of a toothpick, which, speaking in round numbers, will be likely to keep him so busy till along about the latter part of next May that he won't have time to make a fool of himself in any other way. Looks considerable like rain, off to the south'rd, don't it?"—Puck. Getting Along All Right. A young Japanese in one of our institutions of learning, having acquired a very good knowledge of English, went out to deliver a lecture in that language. On his return, says the Hartford Courant, one of the instructors asked if he had a pleasant time. He replied: "Yes, very." "How did you get on with the lecture?" "Oh, quite well, but the audience smiled at some things when I could see no jokes." "Could you give me an instance?" "Well, I opened my lecture by saying that although I was new in English language I thought I could deliver the goods; and they all smiled." Now, doubtless the audience smiled at what they thought was the ready way in which a foreigner had adapted a bit of American slang; but he did not understand the smile because he thought he was speaking good English. Costume of German Jurists. "The black robe and the cap belong to the outfit of a lawyer in the German metropolis," writes an American tourist from that place, "and when the lawyer attains the dignity of judge the collar on his robe is changed from silk to velvet. When this law providing for the 'guard of dignity' was passed the prescribed dress for practicing attorneys included a white necktie. Years ago this custom ceased to be observed, because, as lawyers tell me, it was expensive and troublesome. There is one judge in Berlin, however, who insists on the proper dress, and lawyers who appear before him must expect, if necktie be black, to be turned away with the remark: 'Your cravat is not white.'" The Surprised Highwayman. A highwayman stepped out behind a fashionable young woman and hit her a tremendous blow across the side of the head with a piece of gas pipe, expecting to send her to the ground unconscious and rob her of her valuables. Imagine his surprise when, instead of a dull thud, a muffled scream and a fall to the pavement, the weapon bounded back as though it had struck a large piece of rubber and the victim of the attack turned about angrily with: "Beast!

Harvey Knox of Salida, Colo., who was already a Royal Arch Mason and a member of Pythagoras Lodge of Leadville, came to the city Monday and was led over the heights into the sacred precincts of Knight Templarhood by Hiram Commandry on Tuesday night. Deputy R. E. G. C., L. G. Gilmore and R. E. C., Basil Hill, with a full corps of officers, performed the ceremony. After Sir Knight Knox was initiated and the business of the Commandery completed, a swell spread of good things was placed before the sir knights, all by Sir Knight Moore of the Little Gem Cafe. And there was such a feasting! Stomach trouble was a common complaint, but the burden of the complaint was that the feasters' capacity ran short of their appetites. It was really amusing to hear the excuses offered for this shortcoming, and each knight felt that the other was the more fortunate and there is a dark rumor that the ice cream freezer, a round gross of sandwiches, a few dozen ples and other goodies disappeared mysteriously, and that they went to be a solace of soul that wanted more but could not eat it—until later. Every one went home feeling fine and happy except I. G. Gilmore, who stayed out all night, but in his defense it must be said that he was on duty and that was what kept him out.

Everybody yearns to hear the Azalia Hackley choral club sing, and this feeling was so appreciably shown Sunday when they appeared before the Alliance, an institution where such ability can be shown. Miss Frankie Buchannan's solo, "If I Had a Thousand Lives to Live, I'd Give Them All for You," was sweet and touchingly sang and elicited her much applause. Mrs. Beckham's paper, "Living for To-day," was excellent and reflected great honor upon the writer. She showed so forcibly if we lived each day's worth to the limit, tomorrow would never come and yet we would always be prepared for it. She was logical, historical and forceful at times. The program for Sunday, 28th, is as follows: Instrumental duet, 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," T. L. Branch; vocal solo, Mrs. Lillian Jones. The Alliance meets at 1712 Curtis street at 4 p. m. Everybody is invited. SPECIAL NOTICE, SNAP.

Chef Scott of Bolden's Cafe on 19th street is so ill that he is unable to attend his duties. Dr. Westbrook, Messrs. C. W. Buford and E. P. Borze of Colorado Springs, together with Attorney J. H. Stuart, appeared before the legislative committee on education Thursday and will make a report to the People's Sunday Alliance on their interview on that separate school bill.

Central Baptist church is having ing one of the most enthusiastic and beneficial spiritual awakenings that has been in that church for years. Above all, the faithful and energetic membership are so enthused over the religious work that nothing inteferes with their devotion. The community in general are noting the effects of the previous efforts while so much loyalty and ardor has been put into Central's effort that great results have been realized. Rev. J. B.

A Boston press correspondent was traveling in the far west writing of the various and wonderful scenic features when on the train he fell in with a citizen of Oregon's leading coast city. "You should go to Spokane," enthusiastically exclaimed its proud inhabitant. "I was in Spokane last week," politely returned the traveler. "h, but you should see Spokane now," replied the loyal citizen. Whistling on Sunday. Concerning whistling on Sunday in Scotland, two men, who had done a housebreaking job on Saturday night, went on Sunday morning into a wood to divide the plunder. One of them began to whistle over the sharing out when his companion said, with horror: "Hoot, mon, I would no have come out wi' ye if I had known you would whistle on the Sawbath."—London Daily Chronicle.

Indian Coasting Steamers That Transport Largest of All Animals. Its elephant fleet is one of the strangest and most deadly departments maintained by the British government in India. It is a large fleet of coasting steamers specially built for the transport of elephants. India's population is one-fifth that of the entire globe. All these people use elephants. They use them for draught work and for tiger-hunting, and in the arenas of the native states they even pit them against one another and against wild beasts. The elephant fleet transfers the animals from Dacca, the trapping and training headquarters, to the various districts whence comes the demand. To get an elephant aboard ship is a difficult and dangerous task. The animal must wade through the surf to a stout raft, and this unknown surf, so white and tumultuous, often terrifies and maddens him. If in his fury he slaughters a mahout or two, he cannot be greatly blamed. Once on the raft, his legs are tied to pegs, and the slow sail to the ship is uneventful. But now a great band must be arranged under the elephant's belly, and a crane must hoist him up some twenty or thirty feet to the deck. Here again the elephant cannot be set down as intractable if, losing his head in that unprecedented aerial journey, he murders some more mahouts. Very prosperous, albeit stained a little with mahouts' blood, the elephant fleet for many years has plied up and down the Indian coast, embarking and disembarking its heavy unmanageable freight. INGERSOLL'S TRIBUTE TO LOVE. First Dress of Immortality; Fills the World with Melody. Love is the only bow on life's dark cloud. It is the morning and evening star. It shines on the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art; inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher. It is the air and light of every heart; builder of every home; kindler of every fire on THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. the hearth; it was the first dress of immortality. It fills the world with melody, for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter that changes worthless things to joy, and makes right royal queens and kings of common clay. It is the perfume of that wonderful flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it—earth is heaven and we are gods.—Robert G. Ingersoll. Whistling on Sabbath in Scotland. Concerning the Scottish reprobation of whistling on the Sabbath, Dean Rramsay has a characteristic story. A famous Glasgow artist met an old Hightland acquaintance unexpectedly. "Donald, what brought you here?" "Ou, weel, sir, it was a baad place yon; they were baad folk—but they're a God fearin' set o' folk here." "Well, Donald, I'm glad to hear it." "Ou, ay, sir, deed are they; an' I'll gle ye an instance o't. Last Sabbath just as the kirk was skaillin' there was a drover shield frae Dumfries comin' along the road whistlin', an' lookin' as happy as if it was ta middle o' the week. Weel, sir, oor laads is a God fearin' set o' laads, an' they were just coming' oot o' the kirk 'od they yckit upon him an' a'most killed him!" Why She Wasn't Disturbed. His family is taking in the opera in New York and he had entertained at cards—American fashion—until the rumbling of the early cars put an end to the game. In fact, he just refreshed himself with a bath, and when he came down to breakfast his heart smote him. "I hope the gentlemen didn't disturb you last night with their noise," he said to the maid, when she served his breakfast. "I'm sure they didn't mean to be quite so noisy." "La, sir," was her reply, "I 'aven't slept in the 'ouse since missus went away. I slept at me sister's, sir." The joke was too good to keep, and that's why the coal trade learned of it the same day.—Cleveland Leader. Getting Even with Papa. Small Bobble, in describing occurrences at kindergarten, was sometimes inclined to exaggeration. On such occasions a favorite remark of his father's was: "You would better reduce that statement to a minimum, Bobble." One evening when several aunts and uncles were present Bobbie's father was relating, with great fervor, his experiences on a recent fishing trip. After he had finished, Bobble, assuming a very grave and important air, said: "Better reduce that to a min—min—peppermint, papa." To Remove a Felon. The following clipped from the London Lancet is a relief from bone felon: "As soon as the disease is felt put directly over the spot a fly blister about the size of your thumb nail, and let it remain for six hours, at the expiration of which time, directly under the surface of the blister, may be seen the felon, which can be instantly taken out with the point of a needle or a lancet." Three Thousand Years. "I think from the utensils about him that this mummy must have been an Egyptian plumber." "It would be interesting to bring him to life." "But too risky.

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.

I had him in the car the other day and right in front sat a crusty old gentleman with side whiskers. Four times the baby of- fered him a stick of candy and each time he only frowned. When the soft candy got stuck in his side whiskers he became very fiery and told the con- ductor. Wasn't he rude?” A Remarkable Race. The Lapps are very fond of stimu- lating drinks; they think nothing of drinking fifteen or twenty cups of coffee a day, while their consumption of punch is on a vast scale. It is no uncommon thing to see numbers of helplessly-drunk natives in the streets of Tromso, especially when the sale of reindeer flesh has been profitable. Yet robbery and, indeed, crime in general are practically unknown among them; the innate honesty of the people is quite extraordinary.— Wide Awake Magazine. Nietzsche and the Invalid. An invalid lady who often met Nietzsche found him the gentlest, Kindest and most sympathetic of men He “implored her with tears in his eyes not to read his books.” Such was his knowledge of women that he was thunderstruck to find shortly after- ward that the lady at once proceeded to read them all. He was further stupefied by the discovery that, having read them, she was utterly unmoved by the philosopher's unanswerable demonstrations that feeble persons like herself had no right to live and that women were distinguished by this, that and the other objectionable at- tribute. It must have been a blow to hin, Rebellion. “John Henry,” sharply spoke Mrs. Vick-Seen, “there's a young man that comes here about five nights in the week to see Bridget, and I want you to tell him to quit coming, right off.” “Alvira,” said her husband, “you've been running this house for 16 years, and I have never disputed your author- ity in all that Ume, but this {s where I kick! I am going to assert my man- hood! If you want to stop that big- strapping, two-fisted young man from coming here to see Hridget, by the great hornspoon, Alvira, you'll have to do it yourself!’ Football in Olden Times. What would be thought to-day of a game of football in which 500 or 600 players were engaged on each side, and how would we like to be in the thick of it when teams of this num- ber were rushing after the ball? When we remember also that few rules gov- erned the play, and that, moreover, a proportion of the players were horse men, the events that marked the progress of the game must have been of sufficiently stirring a character to satisfy the most greedy seeker after excitement, His Opinion of It. “Did I understand you to say,” asked Miss Woodby, “that you don’t go in for society—at ull?” “Quite so," replied Crabbe. “Society is simply a silly school in which every nobody is taught to try to be some: body."—Catholic Standard and Times. Coilege Course in Politics, To Columbia university belongs the credit of offering the first course de- signed to give.students a practical knowledge of the conduct of political affairs. That institution has asked the bureau of municipal research in New York to give the members of the class the benefit of the experience it has derived from the study of the af fairs of that city, and the invitation has been accepted. ‘I'he growing de- mand for the adoption of the scien- tific methods of city governments lends support to the view that college men will be in demand in this de- partment of the public service, hence the propriety and usefulness of a uni- versity course established on the lines indicated by the innovation at Colum- bia. Haitians a Lazy Lot. Sydney Brooks, writing to the Lon- don Chronicle about Haiti, says the Haitians were the first people in the world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. C. R. Miller, writing in Leslie's Weekly, says of Haiti: “In that little republic, covering about 10,000 square miles, within five days’ sail of New York, one may encounter more strange complica- tions and a greater disregard for hu- man life than in the remote coun- tries of the east. Situated in the very heart of the West Indies, where civilization exists in a high degree, Haiti alone has kept her doors closed to progress. She became an independ- ent state more than 100 years ago Her rich lands were already under cul- tivation, but the lazy natives allowed the plantations to go to ruin, and for ests have grown up instead.” Farm Employment for Criminals. Goy. Harris of Ohio believes that criminals can be employed on a farm with advantage to themselves and the state. He proposes that prisoners in the penitentiary who are not con firmed criminals be transferred to the reformatory and put to work on the state farm. “It is the conditions of our cities that breed crime,” says the governor. “Most of it can be traced to idleness and drink, and idleness is frequently the cause of drink. There is little drink in the country and prac Ucally no idleness. If the young man who had slipped over the bounds of a law were taught scientific farming he would come to like it and escape the associates who carry him down when he returns to the city.” Milk an Intoxicant. New York City alone consumes an- nually 840,000,000 quarts of milk. We drink 2,300,000 equarts a day. And this does not include mothers’ milk for infants; just cows’ milk—watered and unwatered, for both infants and adults. “Milk,” says Emerson, “is veadily made intoxicating in warm climates simply by agitation. This feature was quickly discovered.” Be- ing placed in a skin and slung from the shoulder or over the back, it was ayitated by the motion of the hunter and fermentation was soon well under way. The skin was undoubtedly none too clean, some milk of the previous day being left in ft, which would act as a leaven, Doesn't Attract.

Through the courtesy of Albert Ross, head of the business department of Western University and of the press of that institution of which Prof. Harry R. Graham is instructor, we have received a copy of the "Historical Synopsis of the Western Negro Press Association from its organization in 1896 to the present year 1909." It is a little volume full of wondrous interest for the knights of the quill. Old names dot its pages and familiar faces peer out of its covers. The virus of the newspaper business seems to hold fast its victims until death does its worst. In new fields, they cast their lot if the old will not content them. For a few we pause to drop a silent tear. For the many who still push on, we lift our hands in salute. May their efforts for the race and for themselves be not in vain. John B. Bynum, who has made his home in Amethyst for several years, has gone to Monte Vista, where he will engage in the steam laundry business. He is a kind soul. He offers to launder our office towel, seemingly oblivious to the fact that there is so close a relationship between a printing office towel and a piece of armor plate, that only our office devil can tell which from t'other. It looks to us that this move is a wise one. The Democracy of the hills makes the color of the enterprising citizen even less a hindrance than here in the city. Other colored men might well look upon the mountain towns as offering opportunities for business as well as for labor. Denver city property and Colorado farm lands are rising in value. It is the more necessary that people of small means act quickly as a result of this, for soon the initial investment will be beyond their ability to raise. Not so many months ago, it was generally possible to buy homes with a first payment as far down as one-tenth of the purchase price. This cannot be done now so easily and soon the demand will preclude it altogether. What's the use of paying interest on the other fellow's real estate investments by renting, when you can make the interest yourself by owning?

Many valuable hints, suggestions, rules and also exercises are given to put the student of singing on the right track. Madam Hackley is a graduate of a school of music, and by many held to be the leading singer of the race. She is now a resident of Philadelphia. Recently she was in Paris in further pursuit of her vocation, and at which time she was interested in musical scholarships for colored girls. Her publication should be very valuable to individuals with good voices but who have no means for making the best of them. The failure of Republican county officials to make place for colored appointees in their offices, and the facility with which the Democratic legislature has received "Jim Crow" legislation, should furnish food for thought for colored voters. During campaign a host of workers on both sides give days and weeks to the cause of the parties, and except in rare cases, it is the hope of something substantial after election rather than the two or three days' work for pay before election, that inspires them. Now that the Christmas box is open and found empty, we feel that a hundred or so politicians have made much ado about nothing. By no means do we advise voters to stay away from the polls, but for the sake of saving the race from a repetition of present conditions, do not make politics the main issue and seek to make a living from it. The surfeit of workers in politics cheapens them all. Let every man that can, get him a job in some private capacity, leaving politics to those who have the special aptitude for it or the inability to get something else. We feel ashamed that thousands of Negroes attended meetings and parades, and proselyted to no better result than we have. Cincinnati has a new theater owned and operated by colored people.
