POLITICAL LEADERSHIP PASSES FROM THE SOUTH TWENTIETH YEAR POLITICAL PASSE The passing of the negro in national convention, and his gradual loss of important political offices in the South under Republican administrations have foretold that sooner or later some man of courage would speak out and say that such appointments did violence to the spirit of democratic government. Surely no one lives who is so far adrift as to claim that public sentiment in the South approves of colored office holders in high places. We know that it is in the power of the national government to insist upon representatives in some places even against the will of the section to which they are appointed, and it is often for the good of the service that the popular applicant fails to win the place. But as for negroes, we both are unpopular, and serve for excuse for harmful race agitation in some sections. Our ability to give good service will not win us friends in the South, for it already knows that we can make good and for that very reason hates us the more. It is not the poor ignorant negro who is an offsense in the eyes of the South, but the progressive, educated negro. To some degree this sentiment is reflected in the North, but is not nearly so strong. Therefore when President Taft declares for negro appointments where they are most acceptable, he but puts into an exact declaration what conditions were already bringing to pass. Then, too, in this he is fair. Southern negroes do not elect presidents. And they should not be the chief beneficiaries of the division of the spoil. President Taft's opinions on the negro as given in his inaugural address were such a broadside as no public man has yet delivered. It had all the directness of a legal opinion, with the boldness of a revolutionary pronunciamento. The negro "question" has been handled gingerly so long, that even those believing most in the President, did not expect such an unqualified avowal of his belief in justice for the black American as well --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY MARCH 18 1909 as for the white. It was magnificent. It was better than that-it was practical. He struck aside all the flimsy subterfuges under which custom hides the pitiful condition of black Americans, and pointed out the part of our betterment that must come from us, and condemned the barriers which communities would raise against us under the form of law. We might go on to praise the President at length, but it is better to give what he said about us, and it reads as follows: 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. "The colored men must base their hope on the results of their own industry, self-restraint, thrift and business success, as well as upon the aid and com fort and sympathy which they may receive from neighbors of the South. The time when Northerners thized with the Negro in his struggle for better condition to give to him the suffragette, and to enforce it against the prevailing sent South. The movement prefailure. What remains is the fifteenth amendment to the constitution and the right to have statutes of states specifying qualifications for electors subjected to the test of compliance with that amendment. This is a great protection to the Negro. It never will be repealed and it never ought to be repealed. If it had not been passed, it might be difficult now to adopt it; but with it in our fundamental law, the policy of Southern legislation must and will tend to obey it, and so long as the statutes of the states meet the test of this amendment and are not otherwise in conflict with the constitution and laws of the United States, it is not the disposition or within the province of the federal government to interfere with the regulation by Southern states of their domestic affairs. "There is in the South a stronger feeling than ever among the intelligent, well-to-do and influential element in favor of the industrial education of the Negro and the encouragement of the race to make themselves useful members of the community. The progress which the Negro nas made in the last fifty years from slavery, when its statistics are reviewed, the road: "Kongo King," "Meeker is marvelous, and it furnishes every reason to hope that in the next twenty-five years a still greater improvement in his condition as a productive member of society, on the farm, and in the sho pand in other occupations, may come. "The Negroes are now Americans. Their ancestors came here years ago against their will, and his is their only country and their only flag. They have shown themselves anxious to live FIVE CENTS A COPY for it and to die for it. Encountering the race feeling against them, subjected at times to cruel injustice growing out of it, they may well have our profound sympathy and aid in the struggle they are making. We are charged with the sacred duty of making their path as smooth and easy as we can. Any recognition of their distinguished men, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement, and an appreciation of their progress, and this just policy shall be pursued. "But it may well admit of doubt whether, in the case of any race, an appointment of one of their number to a local office in a community in which the race feeling is so widespread and acute as to interfere with the ease and facility with which the local government business can be done by the appointee, is of sufficient benefit by way of encouragement to the race to outweigh the recurrence and increase of race feeling which such an appointment is likely to engender. Therefore, the executive, in recognizing the Negro race by appointment, must exercise a careful discretion nott thereby to do it more harm than good. On the other hand, we must be careful not to encourage the mere pretense of race feeling manufactured in the interest of individual political ambition. "Personally, I have not the slightest race prejudice or feeling, and recognition of its existence only awakens in my heart a deeper sympathy for those who have to bear it or suffer from it, and I question the wisdom of a policy which is likely to increase it. "Meantime, if nothing is done to prevent, a better feeling between the Negroes and the whites in the South will continue to grow, and more and more of the white people will come to realize that the future of the Soth is to be much benefited by the industrial and intellectual progress of the Negro. The exercise of political franchise by those of his race who are intelligent and well-to-do will be acquiesced in, and the right to vote will be withheld only from the ignorant and irresponsible of both races."

The Eagle and the Arrow. An eagle sat on a lofty rock, watching the movements of a hare whom he sought to make his prey. An archer, who saw him from a place of concealment, took an accurate aim, and wounded him mortally. The eagle gave one look at the arrow that had entered his heart, and saw in that single glance that its feathers had been furnished by himself. "It is a double grief to me," he exclaimed, "that I should perish by an arrow feathered by my own wings!"—Aesop. Burns' Favorite Word. A contributor has had the curiosity to look up Mr. J. B. Reid's "Burns Concordance," and measure the amount of space devoted to certain words. In the result he found that Burns used the word "heart" more than any other word, the quotations under this word filling no fewer than six of the closely printed columns. "Lass," "friend" and "heaven" come next, each having about two columns. In Praise of Kind Words. Kind words produce their own image on men's souls; and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour and morose and unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.--Pascal. Who Is Your Plumber, Judge? In a recent case tried before him, Judge Mayes of the Mississippi supreme court remarks that "the business of plumbing is an honorable and necessary one." It is necessary, all right, but how about all those times the plumber has to go back to the shop after things?—Law Notes. Used Wife as Beast of Burden. A man has been sentenced at Prague, Bohemia, to six months' imprisonment for harnessing his wife and dog to his vegetable cart.

The Australians eat an average of 129 pounds of sugar each, every year, the United States 89 pounds, Germany 36 pounds, France 32 pounds and Great Britain 81 pounds, but in the latter country the ratio is going up. The Whip of Repentance. The severest punishment a man can receive who has injured another is to have committed the injury; and no man is more severely punished than he who is subject to the whip of his own repentance.—Seneca.

The cream always gets to the top in every establishment. Dog Prevented Fire Loss. A dog was the first to raise the alarm of what might have proved a serious fire at Bradiford, Barnstaple, England. A lamp had burst in the upper room of a dwelling house, and the animal ran frantically downstairs to its master and mistress and by its persistent antics drew their attention to the fire, which was soon extinguished. Remedies for Open Cut. To heal an open cut apply alum water twice a day. Powdered rosin is also good. Pound it well in a clean mortar or wooden bowl. When well pulverized place in a sterilized pepper pot and sift it upon the wound. Put a soft cloth over the cut and occasionally wet it with cold water. This will prevent inflammation and soreness. How the Snow Comes Down. In a western home, Lynne, four years old, was kneeling on the carpet before a low window, intently watching the falling snow as it was rapidly covering the prairie. He turned and said reverently: "Aunt Lizzie, God sends it down, and he spreads it so smooth."—Delineator. Blackbird with Two Heads. At Linwood, near Paisley, Scotland, a blackbird, which is the unique professor of two almost distinctly formed heads, has been seen. It has two bills, and has been seen to pick and make use of both, but whether it can pass food through both cannot yet be definitely stated. Child's Pathetic Suicide. At Bolliver, Pa., recently, Mary Estella, eight years old, committed suicide. She grieved over the death of her mother. "Papa, I am going to shoot," she said, and before he had time to realize the meaning of the words the girl fired a bullet into her temple. Good Company.

Took 600 Soldiers to Clear the Way in the English Blizzard of 1836. The mogui engines which were stalled in the recent blizzard out west do not appear to be worthy successors of a certain Hercules engine which cut a noble figure in the English blizzard of 1836. To appreciate the role played by the Hercules some idea must be given of the effect of the storm on other methods of travel. Fourteen mail coaches were abandoned on as many roads. Another was dug out of drifts five times between Exeter and London. Another was buried so deep that it took 300 men, principally sappers and miners, several hours to make a passage to the coach and rescue the mails and passengers, while near Chatham the snow lay to a depth of 30 or 40 feet, the military being turned out to the unmber of 600 to clear the way. In London the drifts were ten feet deep and hundreds of men and carts were employed hauling snow out to the fields in the suburbs. The markets were in a bad way. One day only four stall holders were able to reach a main market. Greens which a few days before the storm were being sold for three pence a bunch at market, now fetched from ten pence to one shilling, turnips, carrots and celery becoming equally dear; while one penny handfuls of parsley realized two shillings sixpence, and the happy possessor of a bunch which he had previously purchased for ninepence realized for his prize no less a sum than £1 2s 3d. Amid all this confusion the pioneer railways covered themselves with glory by running trains almost without interruption. There was a deep cutting on one line where the snow had drifted badly and, according to the Queen, great numbers of people turned out to see how the Hercules engine would get along. They imagined, of course, that she would be stopped, but to their astonishment the engine dashed right into the drift, "clearing her way through apparently without the slightest difficulty, the snow at the same time flying over the top of the engine chimney like foam from the broken waves of a violent sea, and notwithstanding obstructions the train came down from Greenhead (26 miles) in one hour and a quarter." When a Tooth Is Not a Tooth. In Seattle last year a man was charged with and tried for practicing dentistry without a license. Each particular piece of evidence necessary to make out the case on the part of the state was proved, except that the prosecutor, having procured the prosecuting witness to exhibit his botched tooth to the jury, either forgot or didn't think it was necessary to ask the witness if it was a natural or an artificial tooth, and so lost his case. It seems the statute made it a misdemeanor to mend a "human tooth" for a fee without a license. Now the sensible presumption—the presumption that men or judges would naturally indulge in if they had not become imbued with the passion of peering for loopholes—would be that the tooth was natural and not artificial. But if we presumed that, the law would cease to be an "exact" science, and many gaping spectators on the back benches would be deprived of the joy of watching to see which lawyer came out winner in the match of wits.—Collier's Weekly. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Painting on Grain of Corn. The smallest painting known was done by a Flemish artist on the smooth side of a grain of common white corn.

"There's Chrissie, now. When she was a girl she wouldn't sit in a room without a light in case there might be a man in it; now, three nights a week she won't have a light in the sitting-room because there is a man in it." Fatherland, Mother Tongue. "Can you tell me why it is," asked Mr. Henpeck, in a lapse in the conversation of his spouse, "that when they speak of their native country, it always is the fatherland, but when they speak of the language they invariably call it 'the mother tongue?' " Executioner Also General Thug. The public executioner at Yekaterinoslav, southern Russia, has been executed by his successor. He was sentenced to death over a month ago for spending his leisure on the high roads, plundering, and frequently murdering travelers. Sad Case.

Evils and abuses, some small, some great, grow up on every hand. The rights of individuals and the rights of the public are constantly being undermined through ignorance, and assailed by graft and greed. The newspaper with a helpful policy must ever be vigilant to warn and ready to fight against these attacks.—From the Philadelphia North American's "Confessions of a Newspaper." The First Postage Stamp. The postage stamp made its first appearance in 1839. Its invention is due to James Chalmers, a printer of Dundee, who died in 1863. England adopted the adhesive stamp, according to a decree of December 21, 1839, and issued the first stamps for public use on May 6, 1840. A year later they were introduced in the United States and Switzerland, and soon after in Bavaria, Belgium and France. Willie Made a Discovery. Willie, aged six, came to me, his face so wreathed in smiles that his pug nose seemed to be turned back among his freckles. "What do you think?" he said, "papa was drandma's little boy." My incredulity added fuel to his already intense amusement. Between his chuckles he assured me: "Yes, he was."—Delineator. Have Learnt Something.

A. C. Benson. The Greeks of Manhattan. "One generally connects the idea of a Greek," mused the melancholy man, "with Marathon sports, bare knees, robes, togas, large eyes, perfect features, magnificent ruins and crumbling marble pillars; but a New York Greek is generally a man who keeps a candy store."

COULDN'T SEE IT AS HE DID. Why Old Man Wowton Lost the Services of His Lovers. Old man Wowton, the meanest citizen in all the Blue Grass country, drove up to the market place in Lexington, where an army of negroes stood about or lay basking in the early morning sun waiting for some man to hire them. The old man was so stingy that he usually had great difficulty in engaging negroes to do extra work on his farm, but this time he struck a bargain immediately with big Bill Saunders and the half dozen powerful but lazy blacks who followed at his heels. All the others were greatly surprised to see this gang ambling out on the big road toward Mr. Wowton's place. Next morning they were mystified to see big Bill and his cronies again in the market place. "Whadja doin' hyuh, Bill?" asked Hannibal Harrison Tyler. "Lookin' fo' wuk," Bill replied, sadly. "Thought you-all wuz wukkin' for Mistuh Wowton?" "Yaas; we sut'nly wuz wuk'n fo' Mistuh Wowton. He come to me yistiddy mawnin' an' say: 'Come on out an' make hay fo' me. I ain't gointer pay you-all enny mo' dan one dolluh a day, but Ijes' tell you dis—ev'y meal you-all sits down ter yo' gointer have fo' kin's o' meat an' fo' kin's o' bread." So we-all tuk our foot in our han' an' went out ter make his hay crap." "Well, den huccome you-all is come back?" Hannibal inquired. "I gwine tell yuh," William replied with an injured air. "Yistiddy mawnin' we-all wukked in de fiel', cuttin' hay an' rakin' hay, an' spreadin' hay, ontwell de dinnuh ho'n blew at 12 o'clock. Den we goes inter de kitchen, an' all we sees on de big table is a lot o' mizz'bl' po'k an' greens an' bread.

One of our leading railroad men was relating some of his youthful experiences. "I wanted to be an orator," he said. "I was named for Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia, one of America's foremost statesmen and orators, vice-president of the confederacy and friend of the mother of President Roosevelt. On the occasion of a big debate at college I undertook to deliver a speech he had written for me. I knew that speech by heart and often recited it at home in perfect style. When I got on the platform and opened my mouth to declaim, some- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. body threw from the gallery right in my face a carrot, an onion and a turnip, tied in a bunch. Instantly I forgot my speech. Not a word could I recollect. In great confusion I proceeded to back off the stage, bowing as the house applauded. Just at the wings there was a large tub of lemonade. I backed up against it and sat down in it. Then the whole speech came back to me—but I was in no condition to deliver it. That was my last oratorical flight." Simple Recipe for Beauty. An old book says that if one will make a powder of elder flowers gathered on midsummer day, dry them and use a spoonful thereof in a good draught of water morning and evening for the space of a month it will make him or her young and handsome for a long time. Was in a Tight Place. For many years old Col. Lee resided in Ninth street, New York, near the Hotel St. Denis. He is still remembered by hundreds of New Yorkers for his bright manner and happy, apt remarks. When the project for erecting an equestrian statue to Gen. Washington in Union square was proposed Col. Lee was intrusted with one of the subscription papers for circulation. Shortly after receiving it he approached a well-known citizen and asked for a subscription. But the citizen declined to subscribe, stating in a rather pompous manner: "I do not consider, sir, that there is any necessity for a monument to Mr. Washington. His fame is undying, sir; he is enshrined in the hearts of his countrymen." "Is he enshrined in your heart?" softly inquired the colonel. "He is, sir." "Well, all I have to say," retorted Col. Lee, "is that he is in a tight place."—New York Press. Elephant Turned Off Water. Jule, one of the elephants at the Central park zoo in New York, gave a clever demonstration the other day of the wisdom of her tribe. There is a hydrant just outside of Jule's cage and until Saturday it had been fitted with a round handle to turn on and off the flow of water. On Saturday William Walker, the zoo plumber, fitted a new spigot on the hydrant and put it on a permanent T-shaped handle. Jule carefully examined the handle several times Sunday. She looked it over again, and after much fumbling, turned it and produced a flow of water. Then she put her trunk under the stream, filled it and drank copiously. What pleased Keeper Snyder more than anything else was that she carefully turned off the flow of water after drinking. A Mistake. "I thought from the way that girl talked, she was the whole thing in the vaudeville sketch, and when I went to see the act, all she did was to appear as an assistant in a milliner's shop, pasting inside bands on hats." "Oh, then she probably gave you a wrong impression by telling you she was a headliner." Of Course. Lou—'Tis love that makes the world go 'round. Sue—What we really need is something to make the marriageable young men go 'round. WHATWORRIEDWIFE MR. SPRIGGSWORTH WAS ALTOGETHER TOO HEALTHY. His Affectionate Better Half Had Somewhat Peculiar Reasons for Wanting Doctor to Look Him Over at Once. "Doctor," said Mrs. Spriggsworth, "I wish you would come and see my husband as soon as you can do so conveniently. I've been urging him to call on you at your office, but I just can't get him started. I'm awfully worried about him." "I will try to stop and see him this afternoon. Is he in bed?" "Oh, no. No, he's not in bed, and perhaps you better come in the evening or early in the morning, because you won't find him at home in the afternoon." "Very well, I'll come to-night. What seems to be the trouble? Has he caught a bad cold?" "No, he hasn't any more of a cold than it is common for most people to have at this time of the year. I really don't know what is the matter with him. I think you ought to give him a thorough examination." "I'm sorry to hear that his health is not good. I thought when I saw him a few days ago that he was looking remarkably well. When did you begin to notice that he was not feeling right?" "Why, he claims that there is nothing the matter with him, but, of course, there must be." "Does he appear to be bothered by indigestion?" "No, he has always been very free from anything of that kind. You see, he manages to get a good deal of outdoor exercise." "That's good. A man who takes plenty of outdoor exercise really ought to have little use for a doctor. Perhaps the trouble is with his eyes. Does he complain of having headaches?" "No, he never has them at all." "Well, does he seem to be run down physically!" "Not noticeably so." "Is he unusually nervous or irritable?" "Oh, no, not at all. Really, do you know, I sometimes believe he can't have a nerve in his body. He is always so placid. Nothing ever seems to disturb him in the least." "A very curious case, indeed. What has caused you to think I ought to examine him?" "Why, he hasn't been in bed a day or taken a drop of medicine for about fifteen years, and I can't get it out of my head that he ought to see a doctor before he gets down sick. It may be that an operation of some kind now would save him an awfully hard time later on."—Chicago Record-Herald. Seeing Boston. A rural gentleman engaged an amateur guide to conduct him around Boston on a sightseeing trip. On their way to the statehouse the pair passed through the Public garden. The farmer seemed greatly impressed with the statue "Commemorating the discovery that the inhaling of ether causes insensibility to pain." A few minutes later they reached the statehouse grounds. Again the farmer's attention was attracted by a statue. It was a statue of Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks, and had been set up but not yet unveiled. The figure of the general had been heavily padded, and wrapped with muslin to protect it during shipment, and as yet the padding had not been removed. Gazing at the beswathed figure, the farmer exclaimed: "Wall, I swan! What be that?" "That," said the guide looking in vain for an inscription to enlighten him, "that is"—he scratched his head—"that is to commemorate the discovery of the benefit of the plaster-cast." One on the Workman. When Tommy was taking papa his dinner he stopped for a moment to watch a workman emptying a sewer. "That," remarked Tommy interestedly, "is the grate my brother lost a shilling down." The workman's eyes lit up. "Well, young man," he said, with a show of carelessness, "you'd better get forward with that dinner before it's cold." In about half an hour Tommy returned, to find the man still at the same grate. "Are you quite sure it was this grate the shilling was lost in?" said the workman. "I am certain," replied Tommy, "because I saw my father get it out."—Tit-Bits. Keeping Down the Belt Line. "The trouble with you women," said a man recently, "is that you depend upon the straight-front corset instead of the proper exercise." This shows how little he knows about it. A number of women in Atchison get down on the floor every night and roll and roll like puppies at play. Then they stand on their toes and balance backward, forward and sideways, and take other exercises that would make a contortionist envy them, and every bit of it is done to keep the belt line down. Women wear the straight front, but they don't depend upon it.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe. Hungry. "I suppose you're glad now that your daughter is home from college." "Can't say that I am. Since she got home we haven't a thing to eat but what she could cook in a chafing dish." —Detroit Free Press. Also He Might Be Lonely. The man who says he would be good, if he could be rich, may be rasher than he thinks.—Columbus Dispatch. Must Have Had Trouble with Cook.

Mrs. McAllister and daughter, Melvinia, are visiting in Denver. The boys and girls of the L. T. L. gave a very interesting entertainment last week. The Dunbar Literary Society is presenting good programs every Friday night. The paper and discussion on Booker T. Washington last week was a treat and well repaid everybody who attended. The ladies of the Women's Mite Missionary Society are preparing for an apron bazar March 17th and 18th. Everybody is invited to attend. An Irish lunch will be served. Mrs. Watson was in Rocky Ford on business Friday. Miss Ida Davis and Miss Rilla Brown of Rocky Ford were La Junta visitors Sunday. The Young Men's Club of Merrymakers gave a party Friday night at the home of Mrs. Ed Tyler. There were guests from Rocky Ford as well as La Junta, and a good time was enjoyed by all lpresent. Mrs. Dr. J. E. Stubbs gave a very interesting lecture to the ladies and friends of the N. U. G. Club last Thursday night. Dr. Stubbs is one of the best doctors in town and her lecture was of a medical nature and very instructive. All the guests went away thanking the ladies for an evening well spent. Mrs. James Scott has been quite sick but is recovering. Mrs. Green and little grandson are visiting Mrs. Green's sister, Mrs. Starkey. Mrs. Starkey and family have moved into town, having sold their ranch. SHERIDAN NEWS The ladies of the A. M. E. church gave a donkey social Friday night, which was a success. Mrs. T. H. Newsom is on the sick list. Mr. Thomas Hill made a flying trip to Billings, Mont. The Missionary Society will meet at Mrs. Elizabeth Baker's tomorrow afternoon.

All state officers and presidents of local clubs are urged to attend. Business of importance will be transacted. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Colorado Springs, Colo., March 1, 1909. Secret of Successful Oratory. "The most effective orator I have ever heard," says a writer in the Windsor, "was an Italian ex-friar, an old Garibaldian, Sig. Gavazzi by name, who lectured in England when I was in my teens. He was addressing some 5,000 men and women of the hard-headed north country type. He was speaking in English, which was to him an acquired and foreign language. He played on his hearers as if they were an old fiddle in the grasp of Paganini. He made them literally laugh and cry at will. He would one moment hush them in spellbound silence, and the next, by a word or gesture, he would explode the charged mine of their enthusiasm into deafening cheers. As I listened to him I first understood why Demosthenes insisted so strenuously on action—action or delivery as the first, second and third secret of successful oratory." Had to Have Her Cigarettes. Because the management of the hotel after a frantic but fruitless searching of the city, was unable to provide any of the peculiar brand of London cigarettes which she is accustomed to smoke and which she says are absolutely essential to her happiness, Mrs. George Wyndham, a wealthy and pretty young English woman, from exclusive Hyde Park London, gave up her handsome apartments in the Hotel Plaza in New York. With her pretty and demure English maid she went to visit friends in Tuxedo park, where, she said, she would have no trouble in getting all of the cigarettes of the brand she so much desired, but of which she has been deprived.

Voices unheard by the outer ear speak to the soul; presences unseen by the eye are yet felt, giving their sympathy and stimulus.—Lillian Whiting. Languages Hard to Learn. Of modern languages taught in the schools Russian is considered the most difficult, German next, French third and Spanish is perhaps fourth. The Time to Boast. A great French chef used to say to those customers who praised his dinners: "Never beast of having dined well till the next day." Pnonograph in Austrian Schools. The phonograph is in use in some Austrian schools, and by its means pupils are made familiar with famous speeches in history. Q. J.

All this is simply the operation of natural law, and it is not half as wonderful as the fact that you can send your voice along a little wire for thousands of miles, yet no one doubts the telephone, or is astonished at what it accomplishes. Is it strange, then, that a new discovery should be made in the line of physical science as applied to the healing art. PROF. H. G. H. BUTLER. 1123 Welton Street. Phone Malz 8752. NOTICE. NOTICE.

CONFEDERATED 1850 INFILTRATED 1850 PATIENTLY PROGRESSING THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD PAGE 2. ORIGINS OF NAMES INTERESTING TO TRACE PA TRONYMICS TO SOURCE. Many Derived from Trades or Occupations—Towns and Sections of Countries Have Been Responsible for Some Others. There was appropriateness in the Lincoln celebration in Lincoln, England; for undoubtedly "Father Abraham" was derived from some long-forgotten man who left that city bearing some such name as George or Wat o' Lincoln. London, York, Boston and Berlin or Berliner appear as family names in the same way. Redfield and Oldfield are farm patronymics once used as the names of Scottish farms are now for their proprietors. Titles of nobility similarly come from a county like Cumberland, a battle like Magdala or a town like Ragusa. Occupation names like Smith (spelled in more than forty ways). Webster and Fletcher are the most common; they include some arts not now practiced, as Lorimer, Balestier, Archer. Others in this class had once a humbler sound, as Howard (hogward) and Gilpatrick (Padruig's servant). And many are derived from trade names in other languages than English. Gen. Baden Powell explained in a Latin verse after Mafeking that his name meant Ap-Joel; so Pughe is Ap-Hugh. Family names made by an added "s" are often Welsh. The Welsh names Hughes (or Huws), Williams, Johns and Edwards mean Hughson, Williamson, Johnson and Edwardson, the English termination being "son," the German "sohn" and the Norse "sen." Emigration has supplied many names. Hollander, Fleming, French and Frank speak of national origin, though the last may mean simply a freeman. Other names of characterization are Shakespeare, Breakspear, Armstrong, Crook, Leonard (lion heart) and some few names of color, as Black, when applied to a man of dark complexion, like Roderigh Dhu or "Black Jack" Logan; but most of the early Greens, Whites and Browns must have been so named for varying reasons. Names of animals were too obvious to be omitted: Bernard, Fox, Palfrey. Elephant is turned into a proper name in Italy; why not in England? Coon is hardly ever if ever an animal name; it may be cut down from Colquhoon or some other longer spelling as d'Uberville in Hardy's "Tess" was changed into "Darbyfield." Along our northern border French Canadian names are spelled by sound, with queer results, like "Lavake" for l'Eveque and "Fobare" for Faubert. Napoleon guessed that his name Buonaparte came from the Greek Kalomeros, with the same meaning of "good part." The Fishes, Birds, Becks, Brooks and Hollys show how names were early given by observation. Traced to their source, indeed, few names have a less prosaic or fanciful origin than the Indian Thunder-Cloud or Young-Man-with-a-Wart. Horse Had Earned His Ease. Old Putnam, the 18-year-old pet horse of battery C. Fifth United States artillery, died at Fort William McKinley, near Manila, December 12. Old Putnam, who had been enjoying well- earned ease on the retired nst, after his useful life, first went to the Philippine islands in 1898 with the Astor battery. He was later assigned to Capt. Reilly's battery F. Fifth field artillery, with that battery in China. When the allied armies arrived at Peking, Putnam and another horse by the name of Corregidor were pulling the first of the American light field guns. Just as they had started up a hill to gain one of the positions overlooking the city, Corregidor's traces broke, and a moment later, after that horse had been cut away from the gun, Putnam, straining every muscle, started up the hill, arriving there in time for the American gun to open the first fire in the storming of Peking. The Opera in History. In one sense the opera is one of the oldest forms of entertainment, for its origin is to be found in the old Greek drama. In its modern sense, however, it dates from the year 1600, when Peri produced the first true Italian opera to grace the festivities of the marriage of Henry IV. of France and Maria de Medici. The work attracted great attention, and many Italian nobles figured in the cast. In France the opera was the outcome of the ballet and in England of the masque. Purcell is entitled to the honor of producing the first real English opera, although one of Ben Jonson's masques was set to music as early as 1617. Two of a Kind. A distinguished specialist in Washington was called upon a week or two ago by an eminent government official, for treatment for a nervous ailment. "The first thing you must do," said the physician, after an examination. "Is to give up both smoking and drinking." Whereupon the eminent official became real peevish. "Look here, doctor," he burst out, "now you're talking just like my wife!"—Lippincott's. His Worst Battles. "General, in your military career, which did you find the most trying one of your engagements?" "The one I made to get married."—Baltimore American. Lucky Shot for the Hare. While shooting at Wool, Dorset, a farmer fired at a hare and missed it. The hare made for a hedge and got caught in a wire. The farmer fired again and the shots cut the wire. The hare thus freed got away, to the chagrin of the sportsman.—London Evening Standard. Kisses and Matrimony. The first stage of matrimony is when a woman kisses her husband to find out if he has been drinking. In the second stage if she does any kissing it is preliminary to asking him for money.—New York Telegram. Telling the Truth. "Sometimes," said Uncle Eben, "you feels it yoh duty to tell a friend de truth. But de chances are you'll be so disagreeable 'bout it dat he'll git mad an' lose all de benefit."—Washington Star. The Explanation. The woman who complained that her husband kept her awake all night neglected to state that she was insanely jealous and that the poor man had a habit of talking in his sleep.

This unusual generosity of a wife toward the children of her probable successor in the affections of her husband is an extract from the will of Mrs. Dorothy Creveling, late of Scott township, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Creveling died in 1877, leaving a fine farm and other valuable real estate. Her husband, Benson Creveling, and three children survived her. Later he married another and five children were born. Recently all of the eight children joined in a petition to the court for permission to sell the real estate at private sale and divide the proceeds. Where Families Are Large. Although the population of France is declining, there are parts where large families are not the exception, but the rule. The little village of Verrieres, near Pontalier on the Swiss frontier, where Gen. Bourbaki met with disaster in 1871, is a case in point. It is a picturesque spot. Families of ten or a dozen are common. Last week M. Simon, a farmer, celebrated his golden wedding in the presence of 42 children and grandchildren. Mme. L. Botte, a farmer's wife, has had 26 children. M. Crelier, the receiver of taxes, is the happy father of 25 children. M. Hamard, a farmer, is father to 20, and M. Longchamps' wife has borne him 19.—London Globe. A Penurious Crowd. "This new collection box," argued the inventor, "has some unique advantages. When you drop in a quarter or more it doesn't make a sound; drop in a dime and it tinkles a bell; a nickel blows a whistle and a penny fires a shot. And when you don't drop in anything the box takes your picture." "No, thanks," said the pastor wearily; "I already have pictures of my entire congregation."—Detroit News-Tribune. --- Phone:1461 2300-2306 Larimer St. MEATS In this Department there is nothing lacking: Beef, Mutton and Pork Try our Roasts and Steaks Also Canned Meats ROVISIONS Here you can get Flour, Crackers Meal, Salted Meats, Sugar, Coffees Teas, Spices and anything needed for the Kitchen Also Bakery Goods 2300-6 Larimer St. Watchman Properly Incensed. When the bell rang in hook and ladder No. 22 at Ninety-eighth street and Amsterdam avenue, New York, early the other morning, the man on the desk yelled, "Hurry up, boys; it's the big hotel just around on Broadway, I think!" The firemen hustled into place, and the big triple team of blacks dashed to the scene of the blaze. It was dark and the flames were visible a block off. Driver Veith lashed the horses, and they were on the spot in a jiffy. "Gee!" howled Fireman Muir. "it's only the watchman's shanty; but I'll bet he's asleep." Sure enough, the fat old man who is looking nights to see that the water pipes, each of which weighs half a ton, are not stolen, was dragged out in the open air. "I'll have the law on you," he cried, "wakin' me up. I'm the watchman on the job." Rip's Little Joke. Rip Van Winkle awoke and found himself surrounded by a crowd of reporters. "Did you really sleep 20 years in these mountains?" queried the men of the press. "Sure thing!" yawned Rip as he lit his pipe. "Well, how on earth did, you keep warm during the bitter winters. There are no steam radiators up here?" Rip laughed. "Ah, no, my friends," he chuckled, "but there are plenty of mountain ranges." And picking up his stick the old man started out to hunt up a vaudeville manager. No Longer a Friend. "Who is that scrawny woman over there?" "That is my wife." "Oh; I beg your pardon, old fellow. I didn't dream—" "Don't distress yourself. She's suing me for divorce now."—Birmingham Age-Herald. Rooms—31-2 Good Block. Office Phone Main 5505. Hours: 9 to 11 a. m., 1 to 4 p. m. 7 to 8 p. m. DR.

Old customs die very hard in China, and in several parts of the Celestial empire it is still considered a high act of virtue for a woman to publicly commit suicide after the death of her husband. According to the law, the proceeding is actually legal in some provinces, and such is the state of public opinion that in districts where it is officially prohibited the authorities rarely interfere.—The Wide World Magazine. Tolstoy's Plea for Justice. Justice demands that you should take from people no more than you give them. But there is a way of weighing your work and the work of others of which you avail yourself; besides, you may at any time be incapacitated for work, and you will have to make use of the work of other people. Therefore try to give more than you take so as not to be unjust. —Tolstoy. Moslem Superstition. After the Moslem has prayed he takes out his comb and proceeds to solemnly dress his beard. In other times every hair that fell out was broken in two and buried, that having been a form of covenant with some angel or other who was supposed to be diligently watching the process. Logical. Lottie, aged six, was playing with her dolls. She was heard to remark: "Now, Rosamond, you put on your things and go down to the grocery and get some groceries for me, and then if you want to, you can stop at the courthouse and get courted awhile."—Delineator. Devotion to Duty Lost Bride. After being married at Odessa on a recent Sunday, the bride was coming out of church on the arm of her husband, a policeman, when he suddenly left her in order to chase a cyclist who had no number on his machine. His wife is now petitioning for a divorce. Unloveliness of Mind No woman or man can go through life scoffing at the feelings and wishes of others, holding themselves apart from companionship of their nearest and best and then expect to have love and devotion handed back to them.

E. church, have presented to J. B. Foraker a costly silver loving cup for services rendered to the Brownsville soldiers. Rev. James Washington, pastor of A. M. E. church of this city, was invited to assist in this important affair. The reverend is receiving many congratulations upon his popularity. Statehood for New Mexico seems to have fallen by the way side for the present, so far as the present Congress is concerned, pending an investigation of charges of corruption of politics within the territory. It is best for the negroes of Bernalillo county that it was shelved and will continue so as long as such men as W. H. Gillenwatter is the chairman of the County Republican Central committee. Prior to the convening of the present Legislature a prominent colored Republican asked Mr. Gillenwatter for his support for a menial job as a recognition of the negroes' services in the last campaign. This Southern Republican's answer was: "No, it would embarrass the party to ask for a job for a negro at our Legislature." The result was no negroes received a job, yet the records show that from time to time negroes have been given employment by our Legislature, but with the rise of such men as Gillenwatter to power what will be our future when we are to draft a statehood constitution? It is our duty to drive such men out of power, as they are our enemies, and don't let the gift of a few paltry dollars just on election day swerve us from our duty.

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.

Small Subjects of the Mikado Invarkably Well Treated and Scientifically Brought Up—Are Never Struck in Anger. The school age of the Japanese child of well-to-do families usually begins at six years of age, and up until this period the little Japs are under the care of their nurses and mothers. Few nurses, however, in Japan are allowed to exercise any discipline over their little charges, as the child in Japan is considered of great importance. Any Japanese mother who would venture to turn her children over to a hired nurse, as is frequently done by wealthy American mothers, would promptly be admonished, not only by her husband, but by all her male relatives on both sides of the family. So the Japanese children, before six years of age, are punished by their mothers, but this amounts to little. To slap a child is deemed not only a sign of intense vulgarity and ignorance, but is considered a grave offense against the child. To strike a child on the head or face is thought cruel and unnatural, and apt to injure the child's health and intelligence. The Japanese child is seldom punished except for doing things apt to injure the child or some other person. The principle used by the Japs in disciplining children is to guard them against wrong actions more than to constrain them through fear of punishment. Prevent wrong actions is their aim rather than to punish the child. Children are always admonished but seldom compelled. When a Jap child is to be punished due notice is given the culprit, for parents or teachers or guardians are never supposed to lose their tempers or to punish in so-called hot blood. By an ancient and amusing custom all the household, including the servants, are allowed to try and beg the little offender off from his punishment. His or her little brothers and sisters usually offer to take the punishment on themselves. Angry looks and shouting or harsh expressions are always deprecated by the Japanese learned men when punishing children. At school, in the younger grades, the teacher always attempts to guide his pupils by personal friendship rather than fear. The children in each class are taught to try to keep order among themselves, and the class captain, or kyuncho, is always allowed to call off the punishments. In high schools and institutions for graduate students the sentiment of each rules its conduct, and offenders are handled entirely by their fellow-students. This is extremely effective, and Japanese students have many times committed suicide rather than face their angry fellow-classmen after serious breaches of class etiquette. The offenders are ignored by their classmen, and are never spoken to, in or out of the classrooms. A public apology by a naughty Japanese student is needed, and this apology must be made not to the professors of the institutions, but to the members of his class. Then when the public apology has been made a vote is taken and if a majority are in favor of pardoning the offending student he is received back by his classmates. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Grand Master Martin of the Caucasian Masonic Grand Lodge of Mississippi, has assumed the tremendous task of reforming the institution of Free Masonry. Grand Master Martin recently discovered that the Caucasian Grand Lodge of New Jersey had among its subordinate lodges one Alpha Lodge of New Jersey composed of Afro-Americans. As the Alpha Lodge has existed for nearly a century, intelligent Masons all over the world know of its existence, but the energetic Mississipian, who "never heard tell" of such a thing before. And it is fair to presume that his ignorance is sufficiently comprehensive to make him unaware of the fact that the Grand Lodges of England, Scotland, Irelan, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, Jamaica, Porto Rico, Peru and Argentina are in the same attitude as that of New Jersey.

The Afro-American Ministerial Union met in regular weekly conference last Tuesday morning in the pastor's study of Shorter's Chapel, A. M. E. church. A full representation of all the churches was in attendance, except Scott's M. E. church, Rev. C. W. Holmes being in Pueblo on business. Reports of a very interesting character were made of the services held on the previous Sabbath and from the outlines given it is clear that the pastors of our churches make no little preparation in their efforts to give to their congregations good and wholesome spiritual food. Notwithstanding the bad weather the services were well attended. The misfortune of Central Baptist church in the partial loss by fire of the edifice made it necessary to hold the baptismal service at Zion Baptist church. Rev. Beckham and his members have the sympathy of the Union in this their hour of special trial, and in his rally next Sunday the congregations of all the churches and friends of his church will express in a substantial way the extent of their sympathy.
