FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY MARCH 6 1909 FIVE CENTS A COPY TAFT'S OPINIONS ENTIRELY FAIR AGAINST DISFRANCHISEMENT. The President-Elect Opposes the Proposed Maryland Law—Believes in the Equality of the Races. With a view to obtaining Mr. Taft's views on the Maryland proposition, William F. Stone, collector of the port of Baltimore and sergeant-at-arms of the Republican national committee, wrote the president-elect and received the following reply: "My Dear Mr. Stone—I have your letter of December 9, but have not been able to answer until now. I don't think any one can read my North Carolina speech with any care and on that base the belief that I would favor such a bill as that proposed in Maryland. The provision that the first class of eligible voters shall be those persons who on the 1st day of January in the year 1869 or prior thereo, were entitled to vote under the laws of Maryland or any other state of the United States wherein they then resided, and that the male descendants of such persons, as a second class, shall be entitled to vote, was intended to exempt the persons thus made eligible from the educational or property qualifications which follow in the descriptions of the fifth and sixth classes of persons who shall be entitled to vote. "The same thing may be said of the third and fourth classes, which includes foreign born citizens of the United States naturalized between January 1, 1869, and the date of the adoption of the proposed section, and the male descendants of such mentioned persons. This is in order to exempt such immigrants and their descendants of such mentioned persons. This is in order to exempt such immigrants and their descendants from educational or property qualifications. "Now we know the first four classes include no Negroes at all. In other words, it is intended to free the whites from educational or property qualifications but to subject all Negroes to them. "The whole law ought to be condemned. It is not drawn in the spirit of justice and equality, having regard for the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and I sincerely hope that no Republican who desires equality of treatment to the black and white races will vote for it. Sincerely yours, "WILLIAM H. TAFT." (From Inaugural Address The thirteenth amendment secured them freedom; the fourteenth amendment due process of law, protection of property and the pursuit of happiness; and the fifteenth amendment attempted to secure the Negro against any deprivation of the privilege to vote, because he was a Negro. The thirteenth and fourteenth amendments have been generally enforced and have secured the objects for which they were intended. While the fifteenth amendment has not been generally observed in the past, it ought to be observed, and the tendency of Southern legislation today is toward the enactment of electoral qualifications which shall square with that amendment. Of course, the mere adoption of a constitutional law is only one step in the right direction. It must be fairly and justly enforced as well. In time both will come. Hence it is clear to all that the domination of an ignorant, irresponsible element can be prevented by constitutional laws which shall exclude from voting both Negroes and whites not having education or other qualifications thought to be necessary for a proper electorate. The danger of the control of an ignorant electorate has therefore passed. With this change, the interest which many of the Southern white citizens take in the welfare of the Negroes has increased. In the foregoing there is contained in epitome the opinion of President Taft on the Negro, so far as his franchise is concerned. We could ask no more. Four years roll around slowly, and at the end of that time we expect to look back upon his term of office with as pleasant recollection of his attitude toward us as we now have pleasant expectations. Cut this out and paste it away for reference. A New Pastor The Church of the Redeemer now has a priest in charge in the person of Rev. Brown of Philadelphia. He began his pastorate on Ash Wednesday and addressed a large congregation on last Sunday at both morning and evening services. He is a polished speaker and a persuasive exponent of the gospel. He is getting the work of the church before him preparatory to making the Church of the Redeemer a more powerful force in the church work of the community. He is making his home at present with Geo. S. Contee. SHAMEFUL RACE CHARACTERISTIC Heaven's heaviest curse seems to rest upon the poor Negro. With a load of race proscription to carry, enough of itself to appall the stoutest heart, this race of ours persists in adding on burdens of its own making. Nothing less than a curse can account for such conditions for neither in sense or sentiment can be found any reason for creating other barriers to our progress than those which are so generously supplied by the white race. Within the last few days a report, well authenticated, has come to us that at a recent meeting of the State Undertakers' Association there existed a well dened sentiment upon the part of some Denver undertakers to give up their colored patronage entirely, and leave it to colored undertakers. Certainly we can say that within the last week one of the white undertakers in question ACTUALLY HAD THE FUNERAL OF A COLORED PERSON THRUST UPON HIM AGAINST HIS WISHES. Think of what it means for Negroes to take their business away from their own people, and take it to whites, even when it is not wanted. It does not appear that the attitude of white undertakers is dictated by prejudice, but the relations of the races in this state are being colored more and more with southern ideas, and white undertakers are quick to see that just as in hotel and restaurant service, the two races do not mix, so in the case of the dead. We do not make this criticism and limit it to only this one line of business, but extend it to the many lines of service which we require. A few weeks ago we cited the case of a keeper of a Larimer street barrel house, in which squirrel whiskey is dispensed that would break a coyote's back at forty rods, and said that this man from the wealth he had accumulated from Negroes' trade, had opened other places in which we are denied service. Nor need we blame him. If Negroes will walk over insults to get to dump their money into white places of business, the greater blame is ours, not theirs. See how quickly the Japanese resent limitations of their privileges and to what ends it has driven the state department to adjust the dierences. Yet we, with a choice before us, deliberately chose the road that means insult, that means continued dependency and that spells shame. For it is a shame for us to so despite our own. This paper is not one that urges the patronizing of race business when the service cannot be secured in them. or can be secured only at prohibitive prices. But we condemn with all the power we have, the practice of some of our people who refuse a colored business man a trial, or who condemn the whole of them for the shortcomings of one. So it is that we can account for our folly in no other way than to say we are accursed. We know better than act thus and we should do better. Our progress must not be an accident. It must be the working out of a plan. So long as our actions are based upon no reason, aim at no definite end, are the result of whim, we are doomed to be easy victims of our own impotence as well as of the rapacity of whites competing with us. It is to our shame that most of this short-sightedness such as we criticise here, comes from pure envy of our own men, and unwillingness to see them succeed. We seem to have digested, flesh and bone, the carcass of the teachings of slavery. We seem to have not yet unlearned suspicion of each other. A writer in Leslie's Weekly diagnoses our condition and points out our weakness when he says: "Nearly a million Negroes now live outside Southern limits. In thirty years that number will be increased 50 per cent. Already it is the ultimate fate of the Negro that is in the balance in America, and not the fate of the Southern state. "The remarkable acquisition of land by the Negro is creditable to his sagacity and a testimony to the amazing freedom of opportunity accorded him. It should be held in mind, however, that strength alone can guarantee permanence in his land holdings. Weak men cannot permanently hold land or continue to acquire land. The harshest experiences of the black people are yet to be, for the South must come to treat them as the world now treats them, demanding that they develop not only natural and industrial power, but those moral qualities necessary to win freedom through fierce competition. Consideration of national welfare, therefore, as well as solemn human justice, demand that such training be given to this African element in American life as will enable it to face its supreme struggle with hope, will develop its unmeasured capacity for productiveness in the field of labor, and will safeguard the quality of American citizenship." Hear Wolfskill sing and you will die happy. With the Red Devils. TWO USEFUL HINTS ON RUGS. Good Imitation of Indian Weave-Another Made Like Rag Carpet. An Imitation of an Indian Rug.—Cut wool or silk wags as for carpet weaving: sew together several balls of solid colors, such as red and black; sew all other rags "hit or miss." Crochet in Afghan stitch one strip of solid about half a yard wide inserting crosses of contrasting colors as you proceed. If knitted, the middle strip might be in Roman stripe effect. Now make two strips about three inches wide of "hit or miss," and sew on either side of the wide middle strip. For the outside edge have strips three or four inches wide of solid color. No fringe or finish of any kind is needed. A coarse bodkin, threaded with the rags, is used for sewing the strips together. The result is exceedingly attractive. Chenille Woven Rugs.—Take all your woolen rags and cut and sew as for a rag carpet. Wind every color separately. The borders are made of black and red rags, and sometimes a little green, and for the center any other color will do. It takes five pounds to one square yard; that is, a rug $ 60 \frac{3}{4} \times31 $ inches makes a good size rug. For the border of the above size it takes $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ pounds of black and one pound of red. The price of weaving is about 18 cents a square foot. FOR RUSSIAN BEAR PICKLE. Cucumbers the Chief Staple, Mixed with Other Vegetables. Eight large ripe cucumbers. Peel, remove seeds, cut in inch dice, soak in brine over night, drain, cook ten or fifteen minutes. Take six medium sized white onions, four bunches of celery, clean, cut in dice, and boil ten minutes, drain, and mix with cucumbers. Have six large green peppers diced and seeds removed. Hix through the other ingredients Cover all with a pickle of white vinegar, white sugar, a little cloves, spice, cinnamon and celery seed, tied in thin muslin, add two tablespoonfuls of grated horseradish. Pour vinegar on hot and seal in jars. This makes a delicious, dainty green and white chow chow. The Home. A scratch on polished furniture can be almost obliterated by rubbing vigorously with linseed oil. Keep a vegetable brush to remove the silk quickly from ears of corn. A new nail brush with a handle is equally useful. If an iron is not at hand when marking clothes with indelible ink, hold the writing against a lighted lamp chimney or gas globe. Garments that are to be hung out to air can be put on hangers rather than pinned to the line. This prevents sagging or marking with clothespins. Bric-a-brac containing mother-of-pearl should never be cleaned with soap and water. Instead, it should be rubbed with a cloth dipped in whiting and water. If, when using lemon for flavoring, you need only half a one, put the other half on a plate and cover with a glass tumbler. This excludes the air and prevents it from drying up or getting moldy. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Mendelsschn as a Boy. A quaint description of the boy Mendelssohn is given us by one Devrient: "He took his place among the grown-up people in his child's dress, a tight-fitting jacket, cut very low at the neck, over which the wide trousers were buttoned; into the slanting pockets of these the little fellow liked to thrust his hands, rocking his curly head from side to side and shifting restlessly from one foot to the other." Cat's Bite May Cause Loss of Hand. As Annie Kromer was walking along the street in Nazareth, Pa., she stooped to pet a stray cat. The beast sprang at her and fastened its teeth in the back of her left hand. Suffering excruciating pain, the girl ran several blocks to her home, with the infuriated cat still hanging on. It had to be killed with a club before it let go its hold. It is feared the girl will lose her hand. Horsley Had No Difficulty. Sir Victor Horsley, the great pathologist, was engaged in a discussion with some brother physicians on hydrophobia when a crusty old son of Aesculapius burst out: "Mad dogs, indeed: I would like to know who can say when a dog is mad." "I think," said Victor quietly, "that if one entered the room just now you would find no great difficulty in deciding." Had Something of a Sinecure. As far back as the reign of Queen Elizabeth there was a crown official, known as the "uncorker of ocean bottles," whose duty it was to open all sealed bottles cast up by the sea and examine the contents. The official "uncorker" continued to flouish down to the reign of George III., when the position was abolished. Gossip Is Necessary. Gossip responds to a human need, and gossip about dead men cannot hurt them. It clearly shows the stuff that reputations below a certain grade are made of. Many of the smaller glories owe their longevity to the lazy-mindedness of the survivors. For who can afford to be painstaking about such trifles?—Frank Moore Colby. Curried Meat. The meat should be fresh and free from bone. Cut it into pieces that can easily be served. To each pound of meat add a tablespoonful of curry powder, half a tablespoonful of flour, salt; mix these together and rub a portion of it upon the meat before it is fried in butter and the remainder afterwards. Fry a few onions brown, drain the fat from both meat and onions, and put in a stewpan, cover with boiling water and stew for 20 minutes; rub the remainder of powder smooth with cold water, add to stew and let stew for an hour, or until meat is well done. Add lemon juice before serving. Place in center of dish and put a border of rice around it. Brown Fricassee of Veal. Thinly slice one-quarter of a pound of fat, salt pork; put it in a stewing kettle and cook until crisp and brown. Take out the pork, add the two pounds of veal and cut into fingers and turn until nicely browned, then transfer to a saucepan. To the hot fat add three tablespoonfuls of flour; when dark brown add gradually one scant quart of boiling water, stirring until smoothly thickened. Strain this over the meat, add salt and pepper to taste, cover and simmer gently for an hour. Serve with boiled rice. The Real Teacher. I care not whether a man is called a tutor, an instructor, or a full professor, nor whether any academic degrees adorn his name; nor how many facts or symbols of facts he has stored away in his brain. If he has these four powers: clear sight, quick imagination, sound reason, and right, strong will, I call him an educated man, and fit to be a teacher.—Henry Van Dyke. Must Have the Wishbone. A Connecticut man gleefully announces that he has succeeded in breeding a duck which has no breastbone. Nobody who has ever carved a duck will object to this new variety, but the ambitious Connecticut man should be warned that any attempt to produce a chicken without a wishbone will be resented by several million children, to say nothing of grown-ups. Cross Breeding a Success. For the last few years the Japanese government has been steadily buying stallions, both thoroughbred and hackney, in England, America, France and Hungary. The government representative recently reported officially that a great improvement had already been made in the class of young stock as the outcome of crossing these imported sires with the native mares. Teacher of Physiology. "Now we will dissect this odd little animal. But first, Jimmy Phalig, will you tell me what we have here?" Jimmy—"Faith, and it's called a bat, sir." Teacher—"Very well. Now, how many kinds of bats are there?" Jimmy—"There are foive. The black bat, the red bat, the acrobat, the baseball bat and the brickbat, sir." The Immortals. Two women were standing recently before some original torsos of gods in an art museum not far from Boston. After gazing at the marbles for some moments one of the women was heard to remark to her companion: "To think that they were once alive!" —Life. When Success Came. "Was he a drinking man?" asked counsel of a woman who was testifying on the stand in regard to the habits of her husband. "Well," was the reply, "for the first six months after our marriage he didn't drink any to speak of, but after that he drank to great success." His Vocation Settled. Parke—"I don't know what I am ever going to do with that boy of mine. He is careless and absolutely reckless of consequences, and doesn't seem to care for any one." Lane—"Good! You can make a taxi cab driver out of him."—Life. Roads to Wisdom. There are three ways by which we can come to wisdom; First, by means of meditation; this is the noblest way. Second, by means of imitation; this is the easiest way, and third, by means of experience; this is the most difficult way.—Confucius. Sermon in Five Lines. Some people, in addition to crossing bridges before they are reached, go to the trouble and expense of building bridges where there is never likely to be any water.—Chicago Record-Herald. PAGE. 10. The Ungodly Church Cough. The problem of the church cough has never been satisfactorily solved. Even holy persons are subject to catarrh and to other causes of irritation of the respiratory mucous membrane, for which it would be harsh to rank them with the ungodly.—British Medical Journal. How Atchison Girls Find Things. Every time a girl wants to find anything in her top bureau drawer, she gets a stick and stirs up everything in the drawer 'round and 'round. If what she is looking for doesn't come to the surface, then she is satisfied it isn't there.—Atchison Globe. Living and Preaching. It is unfortunate that so many creators of beautiful things, beautiful poetry, beautiful music, beautiful paintings, don't live the beautiful lives of those who can't create anything except fine, healthy sentiments.—New York Evening Sun. Wasted Energy. A woman cook shoots at her employer simply because he remarked that the biscuits were heavy. What a waste of energy! She should have stood by calmly and permitted him to eat a few.—New York Herald. A Case of Arbitration. A rat and a weasel found an egg. They arbitrated about it. A cat was the arbitrator. He awarded the egg to the rat. The rat ate the egg. The cat ate the rat. The cat believes in arbitration. The rat doesn't. Mainsprings That Move Us. Neither death, nor exile, nor pain, nor anything of this kind is the real cause of our doing or not doing any action, but our inward opinions and principles.—Epictetus. Kindness Better Than Gold. A bit of kindness is a better gift by far than all the gold in the kingdom. The one brings out all the good and heavenly attributes and the other all the unreal and worldly. Versatile Printer A printer in Harlem announces in his window, "Wedding cards, funeral cards, calling cards, playing cards. Also poetry written and printed." A Waste of Time. Most men fool away so much valuable time trying to be like somebody else that they have no chance to amount to anything as themselves. Three Temperaments. Every man has three temperaments; the one he has, the one he shows and the one he thinks he has.—Alphonse Karr. Only Road to Happiness. The only way you'll ever be happy in life is through unselfishness. Being self-centered never brought any lasting good to anybody. Try It from Now On. We do not know how cheap the seeds of happiness are, or we should scatter them oftener.—Lowell. If One Would Be Kind. It is sometimes expedient to forget what you know.—Syrus. A Noble Personality the Result of Noble Desires Inscribed in Brain. Remember that the brain is the instrument through which the real personality expresses himself; and he can only express what is already written there, says a writer in the Nautilus. Consequently, the external man will be just what is inscribed upon his brain, for all his actions must be dictated or directed through these brain records. You cannot saw wood with a hammer; nor can the soul play a piano with the fingers until the knowledge of piano playing is written in the music place of the brain. You cannot show forth a high and noble personality until you have written within your skull a record of noble and holy desires; according to the tools you give it, so will the expression of your soul be. You can wind up a phonograph, and you may make it run fast or slow, but you cannot make it say anything that is not on the records. If some one had put his opinion of you on a record, even though you knew that opinion to be untrue, you could not make the record tell the truth; the only thing possible would be to make another. You have written your opinion of yourself upon your brain; you cannot be anything else until you change the record. WAS JUST ONE DOLLAR AHEAD What Little Financial Transaction Had Netted Widow. "More than a year ago," said the insurance man, "I received a letter which said that the writer was a widow and asked for a little financial assistance. She wasn't very greedy, but would let me off with a dollar. I shoved the letter into a pigeon-hole and paid no further attention to it. Next week another came. Then a third and a fourth, and as a matter of fact one came for each week in the year until I had 52 of them. The widow had spent $1.04 in her efforts to obtain a dollar from me. I thought such persistency deserved an answer of some sort, and so I wrote her: "All your letters received. I send you the dollar asked for, but can't you figure that you are still four cents out?" "As promptly as if she had been a business man closing up a $10,000 deal she replied: "Thanks. No, I can't figure that way. As I begged my stationery and stamps from the neighbors I am just $1 in pocket in your case." "I have always had a tender heart for widows," smiled the insurance man, "but in this case I don't think there is any call for my sympathy." Simple Water Distiller. A boatload of shipwrecked mariners having a few panes of glass may collect from the ocean enough fresh water to sustain life. The great rainless area of Chill had some brackish water, which, however, neither man nor beast can drink, and drinking water is now obtained by means of a novel desert distillery containing 20,000 square feet of glass. The panes are formed into V-shaped troughs, which are placed over shallow pans of the brackish water. The vapor of the water evaporated by the sun's heat is condensed on the lower side of the glass, and runs down into little channels, which conduct the fresh water THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. to the main receptacle. A supply of about 1,000 gallons daily is thus provided. Origin of "Caucus." "Caucus" is said to have arisen from a corruption of the term "calker's house." After violent fighting between the military and the ropemakers of Boston in 1770 the ropemakers and the calkers, the better to meet the soldiers, formed themselves into a society, "at the meetings of which inflammatory addresses were delivered and the most violent resolutions passed against the British government and its agents and instruments in America." The tories scoffed at the calkers' meetings and the term became in time softened into caucus. However, Dr. Murray declares that the word existed previously, and he suggests the Greek "kaukos," a cup—perhaps because at private meetings the flowing bowl is sometimes found. Typewriters in 1714. The idea of mechanical letter-writing seems to have first occurred to an Englishman, for the earliest record of a patent for such a device is of one granted by the English government to Henry Mill in 1714. The first typewriter invented in the United States, called the "typographer," was patented in 1829 by William Austin Burt of Detroit, Mich., also the inventor of the solar compass. The machine was a primitive affair, and could be manipulated only slowly. No practical results were accomplished by the Burt machine, and to-day it is known merely as a starting point of a great American industry. A Good Student. "How is young Chunkett getting on in college?" "Splendidly. He would have made the scrub team his first year if he hadn't been deficient in all of his studies."—Cleveland Plain Dealer A Literal Begging. "Convicts seem to be very polite sort of people." "Will you tell me what led you to that conclusion?" "Sure; they never do wrong without begging pardon for it." COFFEE BRULO IS EXCELLENT. Popular Beverage That Had Its Origin in New Orleans. In this country coffee brulo seems to have had its origin in New Orleans. On the other side it has been popular for years, especially in France and Hungary. A tray is brought the hostess, bearing the coffee urn, a silver bowl with a wide mouth, a small ladle, bowl of loaf sugar, a little dish of whole spices, cloves, cinnamon and cassia buds, and another with the peel of a mandarin orange minced fine. There is also a little flask of brandy. The hostess, counting noses, puts into the wide-mouthed bowl a lump of sugar for each person, then the cloves, cinnamon and orange peel. Over this a little brandy is poured, which is then lighted and allowed to burn until the alcohol has all disappeared. During this burning it must be occasionally stirred. As soon as the flame has disappeared the coffee, black and strong is poured in until the bowl is full. A final stir and this is ladled out into after dinner coffee cups.

True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self; and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions. False happiness loves to be in a crowd, and to draw the eyes of the world upon her. She does not receive any satisfaction from the applause which she gives herself, but from the admiration which she raises in others.—Addison. To Increase Avoirdupois. Among many peoples fat is considered a sign of beauty and should this not come naturally artificial means are resorted to. In Egypt the women burn and grind up black beetles and mix them with beef fat, sesame oil and muffeta. This mixture is boiled together and a cupful of the liquor taken daily by women desirous of getting fat. In England in the middle ages the ladies used the fat of the lizard when desirous of blooming stout. Public and Private Duties. Generally we are under the impression that a man's duties are public and a woman's private. But this is not altogether so. A man has a personal work or duty relating to his own home, and a public work or duty—which is the expansion of the other—relating to the state. So a woman has a personal work and duty relating to her own home, and a public work and duty which is also the expansion of that.—John Ruskin. Effect of Soil on Grape. In the Medoc country of France famed for its red wine—the growers exercise the most scrupulous care in the selection and application of fertilizers. They understand that, while the vine is hardy, it is exceedingly sensitive and that the quality of the fruit may be injured by a very slight change in the soil. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Breaking It Gently. "Dear sirs," begins a Babu business letter from Calcutta forwarded by a reader, "we conform our last respect of the tenth inst., and have none of favors to acknowledge. . . . we beg to announce that a deep misty cloud hovered over us for eight days and did not clear itself away until it washed off our hands our most steady, energetic and pious Tunwi manager." —London Globe. Wise Men. Once 'pon a time a man clumb a tree ter git rid of a mad bull, a hurricane come 'long an' blowed him an' de tree down; den he crawled inter a hole in de groun', ter hide frum de hurricane, an' please God, here come a yearthquake an' swallowed 'im—shoes an' all. I tell you, folks, it's a wise man what know how ter dodge trouble!—F. L. S., in Atlanta Constitution. Like a Page from the Past. Rhodes still survives, a medieval city in all its defensive war gear of tower and curtain and keep. It is the city which the Knights of St. John erected in the midst of the Byzantines, after they had been driven out of Jerusalem in the early fourteenth century. Probably few travelers realize how well preserved the tremendous fortifications and dwellings are. Was a Lucky Day for England. Admiral Nelson was the recipient of favoritism in the matter of his appointment to the British naval service. Nelson's father could not have afforded to send his son to Osborne. "But if he had been Nelson would have been rejected as physically unfit," says a writer. "Nelson was shoveled into the navy under a bit of jobbery and pushed on by backdoor influence." Should Have Looked for Elephant. A sailor enters a livery-stable to hire a horse for the day to take some friends into the country. The proprietor has one brought out for inspection, and begins: "There's a beauty for you! Small head, clean legs, short back—" "Short back be blowed! We want one with a long back. It's to carry nine." Going Up! "You remember how low all the houses are in that little town where you were born," said she. "None of them over two stories. Well, when I told Aunt Jessie that you had moved up to the seventh floor she cried and cried. She didn't sleep a wink the first night, she said, she was so afraid you would fall out the window." Family and the Meals. Meals should be something more than the consumption of food. All work stops at those times and people meet together. Nothing that can be done should be omitted to make it an occasion of agreeable interchange of thought and conversation, and when this is done not only the body, but the mind and nerves are refreshed. Traglc. In being a success there is no pleasure if a man does not look the part.

If you prefer the beautiful woman, she is at her best between the ages of 20 and 35. If your taste is for the woman of sentiment, she is at her pre-eminence between the ages of 30 and 45. If you worship intellect, she is supreme between 40 and 60. If you want all of these qualities, seek out a goddess, for goddesses have no age.—David Belasco. The Guality of Courage. There are as many different kinds of courage as there are of cavalry horses. There are as many different kinds of cavalry horses as there are—cavalry horses of any kind whatever. Almost any man will be a hero given the right circumstances. Almost any man will flunk if Fate springs the psychic combination on him. What I mean to say is that potentially we're all heroes, we're all cowards.—Edward Marshall, in Metropolitan Magazine. Tantalum Named by Discoverer. It is said that Ekeberg, the Swedish discoverer of tantalum, gave that name to the metal because of the tantalizing difficulties that he encountered while investigating it. It is only recently that tantalum has been obtained in a state of purity. A single pound of tantalum suffices to furnish 23,000 lamps, each of 25 candle power. Was Not to Be Improved. There is an antique anecdote, but one so much to the point that it will bear repetition, which throws a side-light on Mendelssohn's acute criticism. A pupil confessed himself unable to solve a problem in counterpoint—did not know where to put another note. "I am glad of that," was the response, "for neither do I." Served Hla Country Well. Scipio Africanus was one of the greatest soldiers, save Julius Caesar, in Roman history. He defeated Hannibal and his Carthaginians at Zama, a city of Carthage, on October 19, in the year 202 B. C., and gave to Rome the ascendency over the then known world. Must Dwell In Soft Places. The thrush catches such worms as tassily show themselves above ground; but an ancient ancestor of the snipe found that, if it followed them into marshy lands, it could probe the soft ground and drag them out of their chambers. For this operation it has now a bill three inches long, straight, thin and sensitive at the tip, a beautiful instrument, but good for no purpose except extracting worms from soft ground. If frost or drought hardens the ground, the snipe must starve or travel.—Strand Magazine. Name That Will Live Long. Charles Dickens was christened Charles John Huffman, or Huffham, as it is erroneously entered in the parish register. But when he became famous he dropped the last two Christian names, as he desired to be known as plain Charles Dickens, a wish respected on his tombstone in Westminster abbey, by his biographer and friend, John Forster, and by the scrupulously accurate "Dictionary of National Biography." Keep Close to Nature. Keep Close to Nature. For since his blessed kingdom was first established in the green fields, by the lakeside, with humble fishermen for its subjects, the easiest way into it hath ever been through the wicket-gate of a lowly and grateful fellowship with nature.—Henry Van Dyke. Severe Operation. "I never saw anybody that suffered from threat trouble as much as my Uncle George used to," said Mrs. Lapsling. "He had it so bad that finally the doctors had to make an incision in his sarcophagus and remove a part of it." Keeping Weeds from the Mind. If you don't want dull thoughts to come, you must keep them away as I keep the weeds out of my bit of garden. I fill the beds so full of flowers that there isn't any room for weeds. Daniel Quorm. English as London Speaks It. What is the good of English when we speak it so badly that it is not worth speaking at all, and when a little Cockney girl will tell you that "Biby's nime's Jine—pline Jine?"—London News. Useless. "A man dat puts in all his time finding fault," said Uncle Eben, "ain't no more real use dan a weather prophet who can't predict nuffin' but blizzards."—Washington Star. Trials Brought by Good Luck. If it is hard for a man to bear his own good luck, 'tis harder for his friends to bear it for him; and but few of them can stand that trial.—Thackeray. Waste of Good Money. Think of a dinner costing $25 a plate when a shote can be fattened into a 400-pound hog for less!—Charleston News and Courier. Body and Soul. Philip Brook wrote: "The care of the body and the care of the soul are not two duties, but two parts of one duty." When Glass Acquires Value Glass is among the cheapest products, but made into microscopic objectives its value approaches that of gold. Mince Pie Under Ban. Even as late as the earlier years of the eighteenth century mince pie as an adjunct of the Christmas feast was forbidden to the English clergyman. Sound Business Rule. A good offer should never be refused unless we have a better one at the same time.—Lord Beaconsfield. Average Life of Plate Glass. Average Life of Plate Glass. The average life of a piece of plate glass is ten years, as shown by plate glass insurance records. Busy Wheel of Watch. In one year the escapement wheel of a watch makes 731,860 revolutions.

Matias, RIS Y Owing to the niGaiadaios Marshal | (2 | CI | Ww Cy) Pp cc cee ween Seen ony aA The troops at Madison Barracks, New York constituting the Young Peo- ple’s Society Christian Endeavor, are eclipsing anything of its kind in the memory of the oldest soldiers Lodge Hall was the scene of one of the most enjoyable and brilliant Chris- tian social entertainments, Thursday evening, February 18 conducted under the leadership of Chaplain Reverend W. W E. Gladden, 24th Infantry, ever witnessed in the 24th Infantry. Presi- dent of the society Sergeant Major W. B .Williams, conducted the program, which, though long, was intensely in- teresting and entertaining The 24th Infantry orchestra played “Narcissus,” “Perdue” and “Al Fres- co,” which were well received. The hall was crowded with the bright dress uniformed soldier and accompanied by their wives, which are many in number, showed that a great interest is taken in the Chris- tian work by the enlisted men and what large strides have been made along that line in the short space of the society's organization. The society is little over three months old and numbers over thirty per cent. of the troops and their fam- ilies. After the program had been ren- dered ice cream, coffee and cake was served in abundance, and that gratis, much to the joy and comfort of every- one, It is noticeable that great improve- ment and intense interest is manifest- ed by the men of Madison Barracks in divine worship Sunday evening saw a packed house at the sermon by Chaplain Gladden on “Reproof” Sunday school on the same day was attended by fifty persons Company “I,” 24th Infantry, gave a full dress ball at its quarters Friday evening which proved to be the most enjoyable affair of the season. A menu unsurpassed dring the sojourn of this regiment at Madison Barracks was served. Company “C” will give a “George Washington dinner on the anniversary of his birth and also an informal dance. Invitations have been extended to the entire garrison. There are now at this station over fifty married enlisted men, the major part of whose wives are young ladies and are used to dancing and who are experts at the business, and no amount of enjoyment can be over estl- mated. Sackett Harbor is fast losing its at- traction for the colored soldier who is coupling up Uncle Sam’s garrison at- tractions such as gymnasium and bowling alley with those at his own disposal and ere long the robin sings a drab coat will be attractive in the dust laden village.

Miss Elenora Gorham, a plucky woman in Philadelphia, did what the police of that city have been trying to do for weeks, that is arrest a white man by the name of John Edwards, for robbing ice boxes of a certain neighborhood.

Scientific Device Worthy a Place in Every Kitchen. Cooks are accustomed to cut into a piece of meat when cooking, to prod vegetables with a fork, and to use similar primitive methods of ascertaining the stage to which the roasting or boiling process has advanced. The first really scientific device to measure the temperature inside a piece of cooking food has recently been invented in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is called a "thermo needle," and consists of a thin metal tube, pointed at one end and containing a spring held in tension by an alloy melting at a specified temperature, which is that desired for cooking. The melting of this alloy releases the spring and shoots up a pin as a signal that the desired temperature exists in the interior of the food into which the "needle" has been thrust. As the instrument is withdrawn, the pin is pushed down and held while the fusible alloy "sets;" when the device is ready for use again. INGREDIENTS FOR LIVER LOAF. Variety Needed, But the Finished Product Is Delicious. Soak a lamb's liver and heart in cold water until the blood is disgorged, then place a stewpan with one calf's tongue and one-half pound of lean fresh pork. Add one scant teaspoonful salt, a dash of pepper, and, tied together in a thin bit of muslin, four cloves, six allspice berries, and half of a bay leaf. Pour over barely enough boiling water to cover, and simmer gently four hours. Trim off all fat, tubes, and gristle, and chop fine. Add a little more salt if needed and a shake of pepper, and just enough of the hot liquor to moisten. Pack in a greased pan, cover with a plate and weight, let stand over night, when it will be ready to slice. It is the best way to let it cool in the liquor in which it was cocked before chopping. Stewed Spanish Onions. Two pounds of Spanish onions, one cupful of milk, one tablespoonful of flour, one tablespoonful of butter and seasoning of salt and pepper. Peel the onions, put them into a pan of boiling water and boil them until they are tender; they will take from one to two hours, according to their size. Next drain off the water. Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour smoothly, then add the milk, salt and pepper. Stir this over the fire until it boils and let it cook for five minutes. Now put in the onions, reheat them thoroughly and serve in a hot vegetable dish. Apple Pucker. Roll out your pie crust a little thicker than for a pie, line a granite or crockery basin with the crust, letting it fall over the sides of the basin to touch the table. Fill basin with sliced apples, sugar, pinch of salt; bits of butter, and cinnamon as for an apple pie. I put cinnamon through the middle and again over the top of the apples. Then pull the paste up over the apples, letting it pucker or come as it will, only don't let it meet. If there is too much paste cut it out so there will be a hole in the center as large as the bottom of your lamp chimney. Bake same as a pie. Do not use a large deep basin, but rather a shallow one.

The Choral Club will have a voice culture book, so recently written and published by Mme. Hackley donated to them. Harry T. Burleigh, the noted baritone of New York, is planning to visit Europe early in May. He visited Europe last year and had the honor to sing before the crowned heads of Europe. Mr. H. M. Denton is his manager. Leon Williams and his serenaders are in New York this week. Miss Virginia Moore, the young violinist of Oakland, Cal., distinguished herself in New York Monday evening, the 22nd inst., where she played before some of New York's most critical people. In speaking of her work Mr. H. T. Burleigh was heard to say, "Miss Moore is without a doubt the best female violinist of the race, and deserves even more encouragement than she gets from her own people. If she continues to study and will spend several years abroad she will surpass all of our male violinists." The consensus of opinion in New York is that Mr. Burleigh is right. Miss Virginia Moore, who was the guest of Prof. and Mrs. Walter Craig, of Brooklyn, passed through this city en route to Washington. Miss Moore has been asked to play in Brooklyn next month, and on April 8th she will appear here for the last time at the First Baptist church, Rev. Creditt, pastor, to give those an opportunity to hear her who did not get to the Academy or Odd Fellows' Temple. Mr. Carl Diton, our favorite young soloist, was accompanist for Miss Virginia Moore at the Pre-Lenten recital in New York, Monday evening. There were also about fifty Philadelphians present. She will be here in May. Cole and Johnson are turning people away at Boston. "The Red Moon" continues to grow more brilliant.

A Manayunk woman, going to her mouse trap the other morning, found a mouse in it, with six little mice as well. They had, of course, been born after their mother's capture—an amazing thing. But more amazing still was the fact that they lay in a small round nest like a bird's, a nest made of bits of paper, thread, straw and shreds of linen and flannel. The woman, instead of drowning forthwith the mother and her brood, retired, and from the next room watched the trap secretly. Her watch soon was rewarded. Another mouse trotted up with great caution, thrust a straw through the bars, and a few moments later returned with a shred of pink calico. The captive mother, with these contributions, proceeded to complete her nest. This incident so moved the woman that on retiring that night she put a handsome piece of cheese in the trap and opened the tiny door. When she came down in the morning mother and young and cheese were gone—the nest alone remained to witness to the truth of her tale. Blucher's Lost Opportunity. M. Arthur Chuquet tells, in L'Opinion, a story of Napoleon and Blucher. The emperor received the general at the Castle of Finkenstein while he was preparing for the siege of Danzig. He drew him to a window in an upper story and paid him compliments on his military gifts, and Blucher, going away delighted, described the interview to his aide-de-camp. "What a chance you missed!" exclaimed the latter. "You might have changed the whole course of history." "How?" "Why, you might have thrown him out of the window!" "Confound it!" replied Blucher. "So I might! If only I had thought of it." Rare Washington Portrait. A rare and curious mezzotint portrait of George Washington in the library of the late Lafayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass., was auctioned off last year in Boston. It is entitled "George Washington, late president of the United States of America, etc." and was published March 14, 1801, by J. Hinton Lindon. It is a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as much like George III, as it does the Father of His Country. Baker, who wrote the "Engraved Portraits of Washington," says that only one impression of this mezzotint has come under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clarkson nor the Carson sale of Washington portraits. Insist on Yellow Flour. Charles Christadoro, an expert on flour and grains, sounds the keynote of the new situation brought about by the bleached flour decision when he says in a communication to the editor commenting on the bleached flour decision: "The housewife will now insist on yellow tinted or creamy flour, and will learn to realize that a natural flour very white can in no manner compare with the creamy or yellow flour in so far as glutens and muscle building values are concerned. "As from 85 to 90 per cent. of the large flour mills of the country were using this bleaching process, the decision is far-reaching."-National Food Magazine. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. SAVES MUCH LABOR DISHWASHING MACHINE HOUSE- KEEPERS' FRIEND. Does Away with the Most Disagreeable Work of the Kitchen—Also Prevents Breakage from Hurried Cooks. Dishwashing is the bugbear of the kitchen. Doing one's own work would be a pleasure were it not for the inevitable cleaning up. Some women who cannot afford a cook will do without a new dress in order to pay a small girl to keep the dishes clean after each meal. Yet this same woman would be quite horrified at the thought of buying a dishwashing machine. The modern woman has to be educated up to the idea that it is folly to use one's hands where a machine will do as well. Perhaps the fault lies with the old makes of dishwashers, which took as long to clean as to wash the dishes. The newest machines are simple in construction, easy to clean, and moderate in price. The best dishwashers are made with a galvanized iron cylinder, into which is fitted a cylindrical tray or basket. The cylinder is half filled with soapy water, which is brought to the boiling point when the dishes are put into the tray or basket. There is usually a ledge for the plates, which are stood on end, the saucers are put next, then the cups and finally the other dishes. All that is necessary is to plunge the trap into the cylinder, turn the crank a couple of times, reverse it and the dreaded task of dishwashing is done. The tray is then lifted out, set on the reversed cover and scalded with clean boiling water, which quickly evaporates leaving comparatively few dishes for drying. A dishwasher not only saves time, but prevents breakage from hurried cooks. When a woman does her own work not the least advantage of machine dishwashing is that it protects the hands from the scalding water. In using a dishwasher as in the ordinary process much depends upon cleaning up the dishes before putting them in water. Pans and pots should be carefully scraped and have boiling water put in them as soon as used. The table china should be scraped with a rubber scraper, which will not injure the finest ware. If possible the refuse should be burned and it is better to do the scraping into an old pan rather than over the sink, whose drains may be clogged with grease. Sand Soap. Half a bar of coarse sand soap should always be kept within reach of the right hand of every dishwasher. Rub the half-bar right on to the bottom, both inside and outside, of all saucepans and spiders. Follow this with a scrubbing with a five-cent sink brush, kept up a little higher than the wire soap dish for the sand soap, and fashioned differently from the regular brush used for the sink. By training one's self to always use both sand soap and brush, pot and pan washing is robbed of much of its much talked of dislike. An occasional dipping of the pan brush on to the cake of common soap kept near will remove every vestige of grease.

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."

FOR PERFECT SOUP SOME RECIPES GUARANTEED TO GIVE GOOD RESULTS. Nourlishing and Inexpensive Food Should Be Served Frequently to Children-Best Method of Preparing the Stock. Soups should be given to a growing child twice a day. And the soup should be rich in quality and nourishing in ingredients, not a plate of seasoned water. Good soup warms the stomach and thus makes it able to digest solid food. Many mothers argue that the children are tired of soup and will not eat it. This is often accounted for by the fact that the same style of soup is served to them week after week, and the stomach of a child demands a change just as often as that of its parents. The recipes given to-day are for soups that are inexpensive to make and are full of nourishment. In boiling meat from which to get soup stock, the meat should be put in cold water, allowed to stand a little while, then heated gradually to the boiling point. This extracts all the juice and leaves the meat utterly tasteless. Let the stock get perfectly cold and remove the grease from the top. It is then ready for flavoring. Chicken soup—If you have boiled a fowl for salad or fricassee, take out three cupfuls of the water in which it was cooked. Put this in a porcelain pot, and add to it three slices of carrots cut in cubes or dice, one stock of celery cut in small pieces, half an onion chopped finely, six peppercorns, a bay leaf, if the flavor is liked by the family, and lastly two tablespoonfuls of finely chopped lean boiled ham. Let it all come to a boil gradually, simmer and then strain through a colander and add three tablespoonfuls of boiled rice. If this proves too rich, add a little water. Scotch Broth.—Buy two pounds of mutton from the neck and add to it two quarts of water. Let it stand for an hour. Heat slowly and add half a cup of barley, let it boil and skim again, then simmer for an hour. Add to it half cup of chopped onion, half cup of chopped carrot, half cup chopped turnips and half cup of celery which have been fried for five minutes in clean drippings. Then let the entire soup simmer for three hours. Season highly, thicken with a little flour and serve with chopped parsley on the top. Clam Soup.—Buy one dozen large clams and scrub the shells, put in pan and add a little water, cover tightly and let them steam open. Remove clams from the shells and chop fine and add one quart of water to clam juice. Let it come to a boil and skim off the scum which will rise to the top. Add tablespoonful of butter, season with pepper. In another saucepan boil one cup of milk and just as you remove the clam soup from the fire ready to serve add the boiled milk. Salmon Soup.—Cut up one large potato and half a large onion into very small pieces, boil in one cup of water. Add red pepper and a dash of Worcestershire sauce and one quart of milk. Just as the milk comes to a boil add one cup of salmon meat and two hard-boiled eggs chopped fine. Serve with large soda crackers which have been buttered and set in the oven to heat.

It is so clear to us that impatience in others is a foolish waste of vital force, since it cannot possibly do any good, but we are impatient ourselves, and learn nothing from the folly of others.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe. For Convalescents. Little invalids who are on the high-road to recovery, but not yet out of bed, are sometimes difficult to amuse. Try putting a looking-glass where it will reflect outside objects—so that the little one can see them. It often proves a most fascinating amusement. A Prospective Shelter. A well-known senator was asked why some politicians were always making such a howl about the preservation of our forests. "Oh," he replied, "they probably never know just when they may have to take to the woods."—Success Magazine. A Frog. A little girl was asked to define a frog. "A frog," said she with childish volubility, "is a great big green bug, with its mouth always open, and it's always standing up in front and sitting down behind." Medicine. Medicine: Art of correctly curing. If a man were cured of a cruel malady by remedies of old women or charl atans, all the vials of the faculty's indignation should fall on his head.—Charles Narrey. Wasted Energy. A woman who looked 19 years for a missing husband displayed a determination worthy a better cause, or perhaps, a better man.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Old Love Letters. A woman will trust money and jewels to a closet shelf, but she wants her old love letters to be as secure as in a safe deposit vault.—New York Press. For Study of Mankind. Would you learn to know yourself, look at mankind and their deeds. Would you learn to know mankind, look into your own heart.—Schiller. Pie in Boston. Dust the pies! Otherwise, according to a member of the board of health, one may devour incongruities. Boston Transcript. Grief's Garniture. It is a satisfaction to wear deep mourning when the deceased leaves one money to pay for it.—From "An Adventure in Exile" by Richard Duffy. The Provoking Part of It.

"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."

March 21, ‘Temperance Sunday.” GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLO, To the Editor Your very able and timely editorials in opposition to House Bill No. 300, by Representative Metz of Pueblo, are to be commended by all good citizens, irrespective of race, color or politics. The measure as introduced by Mr. Metz cannot be classed as Democratic or Republican. The case bears the stamp of plain unadulterated prejudice of the blackest stripe, and is a sign of weakness on the part of the socailed superior race. I have faith in the in- telligent maority of the legislature—a faith that such uncalled for and unfair legislation will never become a law. Yours, Teg SU oa eats ae It was too much for the judges to decide who laughed the most at the laughing contest Monday night at the home of Mrs. Bobo.

Coming last in a long line of distinguished Americans to an office of the highest dignity, we yet expect him to honor the office with his personal greatness so much as he will shine in the re- flected glory of his predecessors. It sounds much like a copy book to say “Pluck wins; it’s average is sure.” Yet sometimes we see such marvelous results come from nothing but sheer pluch that we cannot help but utter this trite phrase. While away during the holidays, the editor of this paper visited the Western Tuskeegee, the Topeka Industrial Institute, of which Prof. Wm. R. Carter is the head. Some six years ago, we paid it a first visit, and were therefore able to make com- parisoa. From a name and a hope, it has come into a stone reality, perched upon a hill surrounded by broad acres of its own. It is sweet to dream dreams and then realize them, and in the substantial buildings which now house the Topeka Institute, and in the sturdy bodies and alert minds that it trains, we see the consummation of 4 man’s hopes far beyond our expects- tions. Truly pluck wins and in tell- ing this story of progress it is our pur- pose not so much to praise those who have done, for they are of the few elect who will always try, but to nerve on the hopeless, to make the best fight there is in them. After having served for some time as justice of the peace for the District of Columbia, Judge Robert H. Terrell has been appointed one of the munici- pal judges for Washington by Roose- velt. This is a distinct promotion for Judge Terrell, and one that he has merited by his past services. The longest way round has been the shortest way home in the case of the discharged soldiers, it seems. In otner words, the impossible has come to pass, and the president retiring has agreed to the reinstatement of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, and it is an accomplished fact whenever they make application for re-enlistment through the channels designated. Roosevelt did not sign the bill, but acquiesced in it, allowing it to become a law through the usual course of not vetoing it. THE ALLIANCE HEARS ABOUT AFRICA. There is so much for us to learn about Africa, both from books and ex- perience, that no one man has a wort- gage on the subject. We thought we fairly knew something about Africa until Rev. T. L. Branch, the mission- ary, spoke Sunday at the Alliance, then we concluded that the subject needed or earnest consideration. After he, with instruments which the Africans had made, so strongly de- monstrated their ability, no one in the audience dared contradict his state- ments. It was a feast of knowledge. Rey.
