Wilbur H. Kramer, writing in The St. Mary Banner with reference to the non-collection of poll takes from the colored people says in part: "The State of Louisiana anually appropriates a definite per capita sum of money for each educatable child in each parish. The school board of the parish and of most parishes in this state do not near expend the amount, appropriated for the colored children by the school board the parish, from the collection of general and special taxes from fines and forfeitures of bones and from poll taxes, every single dollar thereof is spent on the education of white children, and not a single dollar upon the education of the colored children. "The deficit which has arisen in the school system of this Parish is not due to the maintenance of the colored schools of this parish, but to the maintenance of the white schools. If the additional revenue was given to the source from whence it came the relief to the present school deficit, so earnestly desired the Grand Jury and every good citizen, would be given." Prof. Ida Kruse McFarlane of the University of Denver learned a few days ago that a considerable group of Negro volunteer soldiers, doing guard duty in different parts of Colorado, needed sweaters and writslets for their comfort At once Professor McFarlane and her mother and Mrs. Horton Pope provided the wool for these garments and the students of the English classes at the university were asked to assist in knitting them. The response of the students was instant and enthusiastic. By Monday the garments will be ready to be sent to the colored soldiers. Some two thousand colored people have been added to the one thousand already in Hartford, Conn. They are finding plenty of work but poor housing Efforts are being made to improve their living conditions.-Crisis. TWENTY-NINTH YEAR PYTHIAN PARADE PICTURES A REAL TRIUMPH OF INGENUITY Denver Soon to Have the Great Spectacle Shown The motion pictures of the Pythian Military Parade in St. Louis are what may be correctly termed a triumph in the art of screen productions. In these days of scenic sensations one can expect most any development, but few appreciate the fact that all scenes produced have been posed for not only once, but often many times, before they are passed to the public. This is why scenes of current events are never complete. When Chas H. Turpin decided to picture the entire parade of the big Pythian parade in St. Louis he assumed a grave responsibility. How well he succeeded is attested by the thousands who reviewed the pictures at the Booker Washington Theatre last week. A flaw in any section would have necessitated elimination and the big demonstration would not have been reproduced completely. But the pictures are not only complete, but remarkably clear and perfect; so plain that many in the audience, forgetfully, saluted their friends by name. All the dignified brilliance of the great event is displayed by the camera. More than 1,000 feet of film are used in the production. The scenes start with the beautiful camp grounds and end with the passing of the parade in front of the reviewing stand. The entire parade is shown, with the various companies in their best order. Special "close up" scenes are present sented of high Pythian officials and other dignitaries. The picture was taken under the careful supervision of Mr. Turpin and was assembled by Richard J. Clay. It will be shown in all the principal cities throughout the country: and should be seen by everyone.—St. Louis Argus, Sept. 7, 1917 These picture will soon be shown in Denver. Atlanta, Ga . Nov. 20.—Homer Rodeheaver, choir leader for Billy Sunday, learned something about singing here when 15,000 Negroes, who packed the tabernacle to suffocation, "bore down on the harmony" of the revival hymns. Despite the downpour of rain a fringe of whited people stood outside the tabernacle to hear the singing. A thou sand Negroes 'hit the sawdust troil'. Twenty-six Negro Suffragists New York City watched the polls during registration work.—Crisis. Turn on Lights Pray, O, when Good Americans, Lawabiding citizens will such arrogant injustices perpetrated upon by some of your kind cease? How long will that madness and prejudice such as shown in Kansas City, Kas. still mock, tantalize and harass us? Is there never to be an end to this unbridled audacity of these simple human beings like as we are but who unlike us, go swaggering about doing their black deeds of disgrace and desperation nightly thru threats, intimidation and other foul means? Cannot and why has not the union of all good citizens, the only real progressive force in the community been so influenced that these attacks upon the Colored resident owners of Kansas City could live in peace unmolested? How much as Kansas City's Mayor, her chief of police bestirred themselves? Is Kansas City to be the next East St. Louis of the West while we offer prayers for "God to help the barbarous Germans"? Under the Editorial caption of the Kansas City Standard—And they said "Move", we shall let them tell the story. While European manhood is torn to splinters, and the earth is laid bare and rent by the horrors of war, American manhood enters the conflict, and a million others train to offer their lives in the same conflagration in the cause of freedom of humanity. A united Great Britian is fighting the German menace; a united France battles with the France battles with the Grim Peril, and a united Italy struggles with the same foe. Can we say united America intermingle their lives in the cause? Black men forget the past; blind to present abuses and atrocities, crimes against wives, sisters and daughters; forget self, and go into this war with a smile that is peculiar to the race—they will die for Europe and white America—and the American Negro—well, we don't know about that, that's another subject altogether! Mrs. E. E. Pearson, trim and attractive, intelligent and business-like, has opened a business house at 1935 N. 5th street. The line is real estate and employment. She has spent $200 or more in furnishings and improvements to to make her place appeal to those who wish to do business in this line. Mrs. Pearson operates a similar business in Kansas City, Mo. She employs two young women as assistants. Her business is conducted in up to-date quarters, and her business transactions are ethical. The owner of the property finds no fault with his tenant or her business. This is business property and the owner has refused to discriminate against a first-class business, just because that tenant is a Colored person. This branch of her business has been in operation a little more than one month. For two weeks or more before the telephone was installed, the windows were unlettered and had a coat of shading. A few days after the signs were made and the windows polished, a so-called representative of an organization that is made up of I. W. Ws., pro-Germans or pro somebody other than Americans, called to see the proprietress of the new business. He was well dressed and intelligent. He said that he represented 500 anti Negroes, residents of that section when he knew he was lieing be cause there are not 500 persons living in that section, and we also know many residents there who would not raise a finger against Colored people and we have heard parties (white) express themselves freely of what fine neighbors the Colored people made. This spokesman said his organization has ordered she must move out of that property and that section add if she did not do so her place would be dynamit ed. He referred to her excellency appointed quarters, and what a pity it would be for her to have to move. Since then other methods have been resorted to, to frighten Mrs. Pearson from this location—burly men? have passed the windows and brutishly shook their fists at the woman in the office, with accompanying threats of violence. This is American-made civilization; and the kind of liberty Americans boast of as we go to war; as we fight for freedom of the world. At though loyal Negroes respond to the bugle's call eager and alert; a million fighting men, a part of one-twelfth of the nation's people, restlessly await the command to do service for DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 1, 1917 8TH ILL. INFANTRY OFFICERED ENTIRELY BY COLORED MEN Colored Regiment Famous in Efficiency and Service Captain Leonard W. Lewis of Chicago, recruiting officer of the 8th Illinois Infantry is in the city a day each week in the interest of his regiment and other branches of the U. S. A. Dozens of Colored men are enlisting daily, volunteering to do their bit for their country and not waiting for draft or conscription. The 8th Illinois Infantry is the only regiment in America officered entirely by Colored men and has been famous for years on account of its high standard of efficiency and service. Capt. Lewis desires to enlist only the highest type of manhood in keeping with the personnel of his regiment. He wants clerks, machinists, chauffeurs, cooks and withal FIGHTING MEN. Those desiring to offer their services may apply at U.S. Recruiting Office, 3rd and Olive Streets. The police department has been appealed to turnish protection. The mayor has been notified, but up this writing nothing has been done. One of the police officials said he didn't blame the parties for threatening the business lady on North 5th street, and spoke of how a nigger was damaging their property and gave no assurance of protection or even interference. Mayor Men denhall said he'd look after it, and that was all. As we go to war; as we go to press, a woman is being abused; a woman needs protection! What will manhood do? The law has been appealed to, but the law is busy with other matters, and the woman is a Negro! Later a window was smashed. What are you going to do? If Mrs. Pearson is forced to move, are you sure that you are safe? When a band of outlaws threaten one Ameri can Negro, they have threatened all. When a band of ruffians disregard the rights of land owners to use their discretion in accepting eligible tenants; when the police offer no protection: when the womanhood undefiled, refined and dear to your manly heart is abused and the target of human curs, what are you going to do, say you should worry, stretch yourself and return to your dreams of ease, or act in behalf of your present and future? This is not Uncle Sam, but the soft, gentle appeal of "Help," not out the darkness, but the light of the beautiful, the refined ranks Colored Womanhood! It is vital, comrade, it is vital. —Editorial K. C. Standard. The San Francisco Labor Council has endorsed a strong resolution on the disfranchise ment of the Negro and lynch ing.-Crisis. FIVE CENTS A COPY. LIEUT. SANDERS U. S. R. VIOLENTLY INSULTED BY WHITES What Action Will the War Department Take Washington, D.C.—One of the chief topics of discussion in army and navy circles is the probable action that the War Department will take relative to the mobbing and exiling of Lieut. Jos. B. Sanders, U. S. R., graduate of the Des Moines training camp by the white soldiers, civilians and police of Vicksburg, Misswhither the lieutenant had gone to pay his last visit to the folks at home before going to the front. Sanders has complained to the War Department from Fort Dodge, la., where he is now stationed with his command. Tells of repeated insults to uniform. His story of the incident is: "I arrived at Vicksburg on Oct. 18 and was met by a plat oon of white soldiers standing around the station. They did not make any attempt to render any military courtesy what soever, but that was all right and I did not say anything to any of them. "I was met on the streets by the same soldiers and they called me all kinds of names, and said I need not look to them for a salute, for I would not get it. And I was knocked off the sidewalks on several occasions and then cursed and ordered to get out of my uniform and leave town and not show up on the streets. "I left in disguise and my mother brought my clothes up to me at Greenville, Miss. On the following day I left there for St. Louis." Sanders, on his arrival in St. Louis, was entertained by the colored population at a smoker given in his honor. In relating this occurrence, he declared that soldiers told him that "no nigger could wear a uniform in Mississippi that white people had to honor." Sanders said two police officers called on him at his parents' home and ordered him to get out of his uniform and to leave town. At first he refused to comply with this order, but when he saw a crowd was forming he decided, for the protection of his parents, to go. He then put on an old suit of his father's and got a way through the rear door of the home. Outside he was accosted by a crowd which let him pass after a short questioning. He believes he was not recognized in the civilian clothes he wore. Large numbers of colored physicians and dentists are being received in the Medical Reserve Corps of the new draft army. They are usually commissioned as First or Second Lieutenants. Church News --- THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. 24th Avenue and Ogden. David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Telephones, York 6007, York 9377. CHURCH NOTES. Sunday was a great day in Zion. The pastor preached at the morning service upon the subject, "Thanksgiving." At the close of the service the worshippers expressed their thanks in a most tangible fashion in the offering of foods and money to bless the poor. During the day an offering of $81.31 in cash and about $50 in foodstuffs was taken. The generosity of this offering will be seen when it is remembered that the congregation has given nearly $500 for community relief during the present year; food, clothing, fuel, medicines, etc., having been dispensed from month to month. Sister N. C. Pitt, Sister Hazel Ames and Brother Joseph Pennington came into the fold by baptism during the day. The pastor hopes that other candidates will be ready the coming Sunday. It is worthy of note that the Laymen's League gave $27 for community relief as a Thanksgiving offering. The Bible studies on The Return of Our Lord continue Wednesday evenings in the prayer service and are attracting wide interest. You can spend no more fruitful or enjoyable hour than by joining us next week. Wednesday night the church adopted the annual budget for 1918. Another "drive" will be made at the close of December for weekly subscriptions. It is urged that every member close up the present year's subscriptions during the coming month. The pastor will preach a series of sermons on "Stewardship." The Women's Bible Class are receiving great profit out of the series of lessons upon the subject, "Union With Christ." The revelation of this doctrine means the transformation of life. Why not come next Thursday at 2:30. There will be a hearty welcome and meet fellowship.

Let me do my work each day, and if the darkest hours of dispair overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me in the desolation of other times. May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over the silent hills of my childhood or dreaming on the margin of the quiet river; when a light glowed within me and I promised my early God to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years. Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Though the world know not, may my thoughts and actions be such as to keep me friendly with myself. Lift my eyes from the earth and let me not forget the uses of the stars. Forbid that I should judge others, lest I condemn myself. Let me not follow the clamour of the world, but walk calmly in my path. Give me a few friends that will love me for what I am; and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope. And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.—Max Ehrmann.

The pastor returned from Little Rock, Ark., last Sunday morning. A happy and smiling congregation greeted him. He was somewhat fatigued from travel, but he had many good things to tell us about his trip, and preached an excellent sermon Sunday morning and evening. Rev. W. H. Fugitt, who filled the pulpit in the absence of the pastor, had on his broadest smile to welcome him back. We highly commend Rev. Fugitt for his timely efforts and strenuous service in doing his full duty as minister and Christian for the good of the good of the church. There wasn't any Thanksgiving dinner at our church, but we highly commend the ladies of the Mission Circle for the liberal baskets that they sent out to the poor, aged and sick of the community. The general activities of the church has been above par in our pastor's absence. Everyone seemed to put their shoulders to the wheel and push as well as pull. The sick of the church are improving. The Choral Club has made themselves felt as well heard in Central. We have an excellent choir. They also need it be commended. Free will offering the first Sunday in January, 1918. We are expecting that the members who the pastor appointed to see that the old members of the church get to church the fifth Sunday in December will bestir themselves and make all arrangements for the same. The Mission Circle is having a special service at 3 p. m., at which the pastor will preach. We expect a full house, and wish to see every old member occupying a pew. We are glad to welcome so many strangers that visit our church. The Sunday School's Thanksgiving offering Sunday morning was quite a success. We are expecting great things from the Sunday School. Sixteen additions to the Arch Street Baptist church under the leadership of Rev. P. J. Price during his stay in Little Rock, Ark. Y. W. C. A. NOTES.

A fairly good number were present. Mrs. Baker of the Red Cross, Mrs. Isabelle Stewart and Mrs. Jones were present. Mrs. Baker delivered a most splendid address on the nature of the war. Mrs. Stewart spoke of the work of the Colored women of the city, and mentioned the fact that they intend sending an ambulance to France. Secretary Bell related in detail his visit to Camp Funston with the drafted men of Colorado. The general membership campaign has been postponed for a more favorable date. It is quite likely, however, that the workers will be held together for some definite form of work at the present time and a general organization will take place later on. The men's meeting Sunday afternoon will be held at the building as usual. It will begin at 4 o'clock. All men invited. Thirty-first and Larimer Sts. Rev. B. F. McCully, Pastor.

They are traits that should be cultivated. Saving is essential to a comfortable old age, but thrift should not be confused with miserliness. A sock full of pennies well invested will return several socks full of coin, while if the original savings are boarded, it will retain its size until eternity, but never take on greater bulk. Courage is a fit companion for thrift, and the two working in double harness will attain results that neither could accomplish alone. The real big men of today are men who have never shrunk from taking a chance. They foresaw the possibilities of a venture, cast timidity aside, invested their savings and drew big rewards, while their timorous grothers kept on saving their pennies, bewailing the "good luck" of the man who dared. The treasures of the earth would still remain uncovered were it not for the men who were willing to take a chance. Had mining been left to the timid, we would not be enjoying the use of the precious metals for money or jewelry, or the baser ones for the common utilities of life. C The above shows the dump of ores and value of years of accumulation of low grade values. It is already mined and on top of the ground. Look, see and think. The man who looks deepest, thinks fastest, goes the farthest. A lost hour is a lost chance. Getting started is the first essential of getting anywhere. This dump having assay tests made on all sides gives a flattering future. Mining leads in highest returns for capital invesed.

ROSS WINS ADDITIONAL HONORS IN MURDER CASE— JURY OUT TWO HOURS. After gaining a little attention in the bank robbery case, assigned to him by the Court, which trial resulted in the acquittal of the defendant, in the same West Side Criminal Court before a jury of twelve men, Lawyer Ross battled all day Monday with only the assistance of the defendant, a Mexican, who spoke broken ng- lish and understood less than he had spoken, trying to reduce the murder to the second degree. Some 12 wit- nesses testified for the state against the defendant, who had no witnesses. The lawyer made a good fight, but failed “to reduce the grade of the crime.” However, he was warmly con: gratulated by the Court and District ‘Attorney and colirt attaches upon his argument. This is the case which Attorney Moseley of Chicago had and who was sent out from Chicage to defend and make arrangements to have his interests looked after. Mr. Victor Walker looked after Mr. Moseley’s part, as his representative, who hired Attorney Ross to defend Carlos Bru- no. Mr. Walker has taken a deep in- terest in the case. ‘The Star will let the Denver Even- ing Post tell the rest: GUILTY OF MURDER, WILLIAM BRUNO IS GIVEN LIFE TERM Negro Attorney for Defense Makes Plea for Second Degree Verdict. William Bruno, a Mexican, who shot and killed his wife, Santos R. Bruno, June 23, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury in the West Side court yesterday. Bruno pleaded guilty to murder, yet had to be tried, as no man can be convicted of murder in this state in spite of his acknowledgment of guilt, except by a jury. It was left to the jury to de- cide whether Bruno was guilty of mur- der in the first or second degree. Bruno admittéd be killed his wife, in the following words: “I was crazy. I don't know whether I killed her or not, but I know she's dead beeause they tell me she is.” Bruno said he shot his wife because she had left him and their six chil dren. He was defended by George Ross, a Negro, who made a plea to the jury for a verdict of murder in the second degree. Chief Deputy District Attorney Lubers stated to the jury that the plea made by the Negro at torney was the best he had ever heard in the West Side court. Judge Julian H. Moore and attaches of the court sald they agreed with Mr. Lubers. Judge Moore will sentence Bruno to life, Mr. Lubers having waived the imprisonment in the penitentiary for ideath penalty.—Denver Post, Nov. 27, 1917. LABOR FINDS REWARD. For three long years, Mrs. Nannie Johnson has been secretary of Web: ster Temple No. 5, 8. M. T., and there was no more fitting time to honor her for her faithful seryice than upon her natal day, so about 25 or 20 of her sisters quietly gathered Friday night at class at Shorter A. M. E. church and surprised her with the small but valuable token of a silyer fountain pen with gold trimmings and many other sweet remembrances were left as mementoes of the high regard in which she was held by her friends. The evening was spent in music, songs and enjoying refreshments. FOR CHRISTMAS. A Great Opportunity for Remem- brance Gifts. “There are many men in Camp Fun- ston who, unfortunately, will notl eave the camp during any of the holidays, nor have even one Christmas present, unless the people of the surrounding states be a Santa Claus to them and send presents to them here,” said Lieut. A. A. Werner, of the statistical office. Lieutenant Werner is in charge of the files and has been looking up the men in camp who have no relatives or homes and he is preparing a list of names, expecting to bring about some sort of Christmas for them. Their Christmas is not going to amount to much unless some of the big-hearted people of the states close by, who are always making life worth while for some on, get to work for the men in Camp Funston. A package from some one would certainly be appreciated by these men, who haven't a relative in the world.

The features of this morning’s service was a violin and piano duet by Mr. Collier and Mrs. Lyles and @ vocal solo by Mrs. A. E, Wells, who rendered the anthem “Saviour, Breathe An Evening Bless- ing” very creditably. Mrs. Wells leaves Casper this evening for an ex- tended visit to her mother, Mrs. John- son, of Pocatello, Idaho. Casper still continues to attract many new resi- dents. Among the late arrivals are: Mrs. Wm. Monroe of Pueblo, who will scon be joined here by her husband, and-who will soon be one more of Casper's home owners. Mr. Booker and brother-in-law of Denver are also recent arrivals: There will be a ‘Thanksgiving dinner served at Grace church on Thanksgiving day, at which “the king of birds” will reign. The W.

I've merely been down to meet some people going through, and heav- en knows that’s bad enough.” “Were they here long?” sympathet- feally asked the girl who was trying to be especially nice to the popular bache- lor. “Some people are so tiresome!” “Oh, these weren't!” the bachelor promptly protested. “They were very nice people. And they were here just fifteen minutes. Now it does seem as though I should be able to enginecr a sprightly conversation for fifteen min- utes, doesn't 1t?” he inquireé In an injured voice. “The very idea!

There is one purely American cry which was heard on the battlefields of Europe before our first troops ar- rived there. It is the baseball yell, “Attaboy,” which is the brief and sharp way of saying “that’s the boy.” This word may become the béttle shout, the rallying cry, the yell of the charge when our boys go into action. Certainly it has been fre- quently used along the western front from the channel to Switzerland and also on the Italian front. Carried abroad by English, French and Ital- ians who lived in the United States, but who returned when the war broke out, this distinctly baseball ex- pression has often been echoed in the trenches. pe Everytime you take a Puta smoke away for our Sam. mies.

Negroes, you know the necessity of team-work in time of war. Never has, in the history of the United States, organization been so absolutely imperative and recent events in the industrial, mining and commercial world have shown the driving power of effective organization, intelligently directed than at the present time. Many and numerous have the calls been made for the Negroes by our government. Many more will be made before this war is over. Get yourselves ready for the effectiveness of an organization depends absolutely upon the co-operation it receives from the individual. When all Negroes combine and work hand-in-hand, there is nothing that we cannot do. We invite the Negroes to assist in the providing of an ambulance for the war by the Negroes of this city. The Colored part of the Wopan's Service League will be glad to receive your help. City News NOTICE! NOTICE!

The Star was glad to see so many rooters, boosters, and greeters out for the soldiers had the "Y" boys beat in weight a mile, while the "Y" boys were quicker and outplayed them. The girls overwhelmingly favored the soldiers. The soldiers scored one touchdown in first half, but missed goal; in the second half the "Y" made six, making the score 6 to 6. Thus much could be said, barring many squabbles and ungentlemanly sluggings with unfair catches, the game was quite interesting. The soldier boys were husky, heavy and determined on their feet while in a play. They made many good gains by straight bucks, end runs, and back plays; fumbles many, ball most of time in "Y.'s" territory, and time only saved the "Y" from a defeat. Both sides should feel proud. While we favored the "Y," yet we want the soldier boys to know that they did excellent work as a whole. Dan Strothers, Lacey, Lewis, Catlett, and many of the soldiers boys whose names I could not get, were stars in the game. To Coach Barnett we take off our hat and give the bacon. THE ACCIDENT AFTER FOOTBALL While Harry Seamon was attempting to pass a W. 38th car, which was crowded with the football enthusiasts, an axle and some spokes broke and threw his loaded car directly in front of Tramway's speeding car which turned the auto turtle and landing it upon its side. No one hurt, except one lady had a deep gash in her arm. The lucky occupants were pulled from the wrecked machine and were glad to escape such a miraculous death. Mrs. Alice Whittaker is visiting in Denver and attended the "Y" Soldiers game. POCATELLO BRIEFLETS. I did not give my Pocatello friends a write-up last week on account of a young visitor arriving at my house. She seems to be greatly dissatisfied and it kept me busy attending her wants. Mother and baby are getting along nicely. Mr. Bert Reynolds of 445 N. 4th, had the misfortune to lose one of his toes, caused from using too much Freezone. One of our charming and popular young ladies of this city, Miss Bernice Washington, was married to Ray Jones of Salt Lake on the 17th. They were married at Salt Lake. Mrs. H. Barton, the mother of the bride, and Mrs. William Rhoads, the bride's aunt, accompanied the bride to be to Salt Lake, the bride and groom will spend their honey-moon in California. Mr. H. Williams and family of 531 South 1st avenue, left this week for Denver, Colo. Rev. Duncan and wife are sparing no time in getting ready to serve the public with a big Thanksgiving dinner. E. K. Goins of 732 S. 2nd avenue still remains ill. W. Laster and family still remain out in the country and from all reports are doing fine. Mrs. Helen W. Taylor of Pocatello was taken to Salt Lake on Nov. 12 for an operation. She died Nov. 14. The remains were taken to her old home in Springfield, Mo. DR. J. A. HARPER OF CHICAGO, NOT HARMED. Current rumors had it circulated that Dr. J. A. Harper, a dentist formerly of Denver, had been shot by a woman friend of his. The rumor spread rapidly until it was authentically learned that it was not Dr. Harper, but his business associate, a Dr. Harris, who was shot down and killed. His many Denver friends were relieved of much anxiety when they learned the true situation. Mrs. Minnie Norman is still very sick. Mr. Earl De Frantz still continues to improve. Mrs. Eddie Grice, who has been ill for several weeks, is able to be out again among her many friends. The Denver Star fills a long-felt want in your home. You cannot afford to be without it.

As Pearson sat on the little porch and sent circles of blue smoke into the soft night, snatches of gay talk, of laughter and of music came to him—Jolly was at the old home once more. The little Polly who used to spring across the barbed wire fence that divided them and drop on the top step of the side porch, breathless; the little audacious Polly who plucked her short skirt full of his violets without even a "by your leave," and climbed his cherry trees to toss his own cherries down to him. Polly had wintered at a fashionable school in New York, had summered abroad, and, crossing again, had made her smiling entrance into a world that seemed vastly interested in her. A little white-clad figure came through the odorous darkness and leaned on the barbed wire, a little plaintive voice called "Hello," softly. Pearson took refuge in silence. With a flash and flutter of feminine flouces she was over. "That's still a barbed wire," Pearson called. "Oh!" she clarionetted, "a barbed wire?" She sped across the space that intervened to drop on his top step in breathless scorn. "Was it that?" she demanded. "I've been home a whole day." "No," said Pearson calmly, "I don't mean to come. You've so many dancing about you that I'll never be missed. And, anyway, Polly, I hear such outrageous things about you. Is it a habit of yours to whistle up your dog and stalk from the room in the midst of all the proposals?" "It's because they make such a blunder of it," said Polly. "I know how it should be done." "You're not so pretty," said Pearson, disapproving. "You're little and you're brown." "Yes," more plaintively. "Then why—why—" irritably, "does everything in man's shape go down before you?" "I don't know; but"—sorrowfully—"they do. I—I—" she sighed heavily—"fell the bearded men at a breath, and the youths that grow between. But perhaps you aren't familiar with Long-fellow?" Polly was gone, and her low, mocking laugh drifted back to Pearson. Pearson had closed the door to his heart and rolled a big stone against it, telling himself he was done with womankind forever, as far back as Polly's pinafore days. Polly came to the barbed wire sometimes, but she made no attempt to leap over it. Always she was very, very gay, and after her going Pearson counted up his birthdays, ran his fingers through his hair turning gray on his temples, and called himself an old, old fool. The twilight hour that Polly leaned over the wire to pin a rose that had burned in the coils of her golden hair on Pearson's coat she sang something tender and foolish about the rose being her heart. "Your heart," Pearson chided. "It's asleep, little child." "It's his heart that sleeps," said Polly. "The little white guest chamber that is mine has its door ajar, but he won't come in, ever." Afterward he crept up to his room to drop his arm on his desk and his head on his arms, and sat there, while night gathered deeper and deeper into the room. Pearson stumbled down the stairs that echoed to his footsteps, the empty, lonely stairway over which no woman's soft draperies ever trailed, and out on the porch, there to find Polly on the top step. He sank down beside her. "What becomes of men who hang around the side entrance of heaven, straining their ears to catch the music when Midwest Extension Oil Co STOCK NOW 2 CENTS A SHARE With our valuable holdings in Chanute, Kansas, field all paid for and drilling operations to start soon, this stock will not remain long 2c. Oil in this section is found at a depth of 700 feet, and in large volumes. We fully expect to be producing oil here within thirty days. There is but little question of our ability to find oil, as we are in a region where there are many producing wells, and the geologists speak very favorably of our location. Our intention is to start drilling in this field as soon as we have secured sufficient funds to guarantee the drilling of three wells, and we are rapidly reaching that point. When drilling operations start and we find indications of oil this stock will naturally go up. When drilling operations in The Big Muddy border on the property of the Midwest Oil Co. We are exceptionally well located in this field, the structures indicating the presence of oil underlying our holdings. OUR BIG MUDDY HOLDINGS There are many companies operating in Wyoming that are not nearly so well located, with a capital the same as ours and who are selling their stock at a much higher figure. Our Wyoming holdings alone offer an unusual speculative investment opportunity, but coupled up with our Kansas property our stock is doubly valuable. The Midwest Extension Oil Co. is capably managed by Denver business men who have had considerable experience in the oil business. The company is organized for the purpose of making money out of oil and not out of the sale of stock. There is no promotion expense, no salaried officials and no office rent to pay. Economical management has characterized the affairs of this company since its inception. Use the Coupon at Once. It May Be the Making of Your Fortune.

"I don't know," said Polly, "but I know what should become of them," scornfully. "Why doesn't your Perl go around to the front? Perhaps she hasn't any spirit, either, his heroline; perhaps she sits on the doorstep and walts, perhaps—" "He's—he's a wooden Indian," said Polly. "He lets the girl sit there on his steps and pretend that she's looking at the stars. He doesn't care. He thinks she's a doll-baby stuffed with sawdust; that she cares for all the empty, gay, frivolous things that she hates; he thinks she likes to be forever surrounded by a lor of plinkecked, light-headed boys that bore her so. And all the time she knows—I'm sure I don't know how, for he acts so queer—that he loves her, and that a little question of arithmetic troubles him. It doesn't really trouble her. The arithmetic of the heart isn't counted by years. He's lonely and sad, and she can put into his life all that it has missed, but not unasked, and sometimes she's wild thinking things over." Polly's voice trailed off into silence, and she struggled with a sob. The sob acted as an accolade on Pearson. It raised him into a knight errant, bewildered, it's true, but ready and eager to go to the very ends of the world, if need be, after this derelict who had stolen his little chum's happiness from her. He put out his hand and it fell on Polly's bent head. "Polly," he said; "Polly"—helplessly—"if he were here beside you—" "He is," sobbed Polly. (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) American newspaper correspondents visiting the front in Flanders and in the snow-buried Italian Alps have time and again been greeted by this word. It was like a message from home and was intended to let the visitors know that some one from home was there doing his bit. It has been a cry of recognition and welcome. All baseball fans are familiar with this word made famous by Hugh Jennings, and doubtless a majority of them firmly believe he coined the expression. Perhaps he did, although it is stated on fairly good authority that it came into use in the days of "Pop" Anson. But it was Jennings who fastened it upon the public mind, and Jennings always will be associated with popularizing it—Brooklyn Standard-Union.

My dear Co-Worker: "NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN I have good news for you. ‘God is answering our prayers. I appeared before the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives, Friday, August 3rd, and that night Congress- man Dyer phoned me that the Com- mittee was wonderfully impressed and had decided to recommend that the Revolution, begging Federal Inveatt- gation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us it we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK! PETITIONS! PETITIONS! PETI- TIONS are the things that will prove that there is countrywide sentiment and determination back of this de- manding that an end be put to mob violence. Now, I will not rest until every Congressman is appealed to to take a stand for justice and protec- tfon. Will you get men to sign these Petitions in ink, and you divide the number and send them directly to vhe members of Congress from your State? Send them to men in the House and in the Senate. See that the work is neatly done so as to re- flect the intelligence that there is back of this movement. Tell our peo- ple to take pride and pleasure in this. Get influential white friends to sign some of them. Give them the liter- ature and urge them to see their pa- triotic duty in saving America from mob violence. Get signatures. Every Petition counts. "! Fill out the inclosed memorandum and send it at once, to me. This memorandum goes to Congressman Dyer. He wants to keep close tab on what is being done by the Colored people themselves. Send each Congressman one of the inclosed tags. Write a very short let- ter, telling him you know he is going to hear the voice of his fellow coun- tryman, pleading for justice and pro- tection. Make it bristle with patriot- ism, but make him feel that this coun- try is facing a problem at home that is no less serious than the problem abroad. Work with us in this.

From a warm weather instrument primarily the electric fan appears to be applicable to the problem of the hour—the conservation of our food.

In a bulletin on the subject it states that tests have proved that many sliced vegetablee and fruits placed in long trays three feet by one foot and stacked in two tiera end to end before an electric fan can be dried to the requisite dry- ness within twenty-four hours.

White the sun was still yellow and lustérless through the morning haze, and before it had reached over into the draws and hollows of the clay hills, the men of the nelghborhood were in the saddle and the story of the taking of Marion Marze the night before was on thelr lips. ‘They were riding in groups and in pairs and some were rid- ing singly, but all thelr paths were converging toward Squire Yantley's sawmill. Along the winding roads Bill Telket was pressing hard his tired horses into @ hard gallop. He was the president of the Anti-Horse Thief association and he was spreading the news of the capture and that was notice to the members of the association that he wanted them at the trial, which was to be held at the sawmill, “Takes men to handle ropes when we got hoss thfeves about,” he sald. But the friends of Marion Marze were along those who were riding over the yellow clay knob on the east and came zulloping across the bottom on the west, and came out on’ the bridle paths that led from the other directions to the mill, Word had gone out to them, also, in the night from Hex Telket's house. Nan Telket had dared to love this man over whose head hung the odious charge of horse stealing. None of the men was thoughtless enough to come to the trial unarmed. ‘The mill shed, which served as the courtroom, was crowded. Squire Yant- ley was nervous. Johnny Moore, the sheriff, and his deputy, Dave Maypum, sat with their backs to the wall, a re- volver in eich hand with their pris- ‘oner between them. Some men in the room were taller, Some were broader of shoulder, but none was as handsome in face and figure as Marze. “{ ain't never tried no_hossthief eases,” said Squire Yantley, “but if ye'll Just keep good order I guess we'll get along all right.” And he leaned over to Sheriff Moore for advice as to meth- eds of procedure. Then he called upon the prisoner to enter his plea. “T ain't guilty,” said Marze, as he stood erect and tossed back his hair. “Well, who is?” demanded the squire. “There's the hossthief,” he cried, polnting with his arm outstretched, “BUll Telket stole the mare.” Bill Telket sprang to his feet. The gssemblage was suddenly in motion. Backward and forward and sidewise, it swnyed ominously. A‘marmur arose in the rear of the room, ‘The crowd parted, making s path through {ts center, till a gir! rushed into the open space where the prisoner stood in the attitude of de- ‘ance, facing Bill Telket. She pulled from her head a blue sunbonnet, whose edges dropped and half hid her “Nan, what brings you here?” cried Bin Telket. “I come teh save a man that nev- se “Teh save a hossthief?” “You-eh my brother, Bill, ‘en I love veh, ‘en I come teh stop yeh from sayin’ In court thet Murion Marze’s a nossthlef. Squire, Marion ain't no nossthief, He never stole the mare!” “Well, who did steal ‘er, Nan? asked the court. “Don' ask me, squire; I can’t tel yeh, but Marion didn't.” “Bf you don’ tell, Nan, we'll hef teb yenitenshy ‘m.” “Yeh cain't; yeh caln't! They’se nen here thet won't let yeh!” “Here, Nan, theyse enough o’ that,” said BML Telket fiercely, as he seized ais sister by the wrist and drew her sudely back. Z She turned on her brother and he shrunk from the flushing of her dark | eyes, She released her wrist from his grip. A half-subdued roar went up from the crowd and it moved forward A man In the front rank was holding up a revolver. ‘The girl sprang at him and snatched the weapon with such suddenness that she had wrenched it from him before he could tighgen his strong fingers on its handle. Quicker than the men were thinking she was at the side of the prisoner. “Here, Marion,” she whispered, plac- Ing the revolver in his hand. “Run fur it, Fight yer way out.

MIDWEST EXTENSION TO RAISE PRICE OF STOCK. The Midwest Extension Oil Company that has been creating quite a lot of excitement in Denver during the past few weeks will raise their stock 100 per cent. Saturday night, Dec. 1st. The company, according to reports from the office, is selling a tremendous amount of stock and expect to have enough money in their treasury to start drilling their first well in the course of a week. They will drill their first well in the Chanute field, Kansas, where they have 80 acres of proven land. Besides this property the company has 560 acres in the Big Muddy field, Wyoming, and are dealing for 100 acres in the Tampico field, Old Mexico, with a 65,000 barrel well on one side and a 40,000 barrel well on the other. Mr. A. A. Waller is handling the stock at 2636 Welton Street, and is doing a tremendous business. The Company's office is at 306-7-8 Foster Bldg, City. A benefit performance for the Red Cross was given at the opera house in Idaho Springs, Colo., on Thursday night and drew forth an immense crowd. The entertainment consisted of an exceptionally good foving picture and a well rendered contest by some of the members of the Colored squad that are doing guard duty here. Dan Strothers favored the audience with a number of solos, which were heartily applauded, while the quartet which was composed of James Eckols, Thos. Echols, Leroy Wims, and D. Strothers, won round after round of applause with their catchy and pleasing selections. The members of the Idaho Springs Red Cross organization are very grateful to the soldier boys for their kindly assistance and feel that it was largely thru their help that they met with so much success. The money will be used to purchase materials for the garments that are made in the Red Cross rooms. Rumor has it that one of our most charming young ladies and a young Denverite who recently returned home from an extended trip in the East will soon be receiving congratulations. CHEYENNE BRIEF8.
