Meeting,

The lecture Tuesday night by Mrs.
Sarah Plat Decker, president Of the
Colorado State Board Of Charities and
Corrections, sx-presidsnt OF the Women's
club OF Denver. and ex-vice president Of
the General Federation OF Women's
Clubs, was 20 excellent that We have de-
cided to publish moro copious extracts
from her lecture th,n were given in the
general report OF that event in the issue
OF this paper the following day.
The character OF the lecture was such
that every man and woman can read the
report OF it with profit t, themselves.
In the most commonplace manner Mrs.
Decker, after her introduction started to
tell following story. and then followed it
up with ono OF the most interesting and
instructive lectures delivered in this city
In some time.
"Those who were present at the Trans
Mississippi congress some years ago will
mover forget tho genuine burst Of
laughter. and withal, tho sympathetic
thrill which went through the audience
at the telling Of q story Of why a woman
in Oklahoma wished to belong to club.
She lived in . remote country district
and was obliged to drive many miles to
attend the club meeting. What's the
use O you goin'i' demanded her husband;
'hain't you got nice scenery out heref'

man. I've got nice scenery and I've

little too much in tho background that
mothers have self larger than mater

Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard arti-
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent.
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made, but great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever discovered
and other manufacturers do not use them. be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr. Major tells US that one of
the elements of his cement costs $375 pound,
and another So 90 gallon, while large share
OF the so-called dement's and liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than Decent glue
dissolved in water or citric acid, and in some
cases altered slightly in color and odor by the
addition OF cheap and useless materials
Majors Cement retailS at Is cents and 2h
cents a bottle. and when dealer tries to sell
substitute you can depend upon it that his
only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much al
any dealer ought to ma Ike on any cement And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr. Ma
ior's advertising. which now amounts to over
s., 900 a month. throughout the country. Es-
tablished in 1915.

Indians represented in Mr.. Frederic
Remington's truthful as well as ar

ensues will be lifelike representation
OF Indian fighting, the programme fol-
lowing closely the actual methods and
customs of the Indians when going
forth to do battle against their enc

come the various Indian dances The
San Carlos Apaches will be seen in
their medicine dance, in which they
wear their peculiar headdress. Corn

A BROADWAY INCIDENT.
PaSser-By Gives Twice to q Beggar
and the BeEgar Doesn't
Stop Him.

One of two men who were walking
on Broadway talking was attracted
by the appearance of a one-legged beg
gar who sat, crutch beside him, on
the edge of some steps in front of
store, holding out his hat to the pass
ers-by. So he reached in his pocket,
pulled out a number of coins and took
from among them one which he
dropped in the beggar's hat. The one
legged man inclined his head. not serv-
ilely nor humbly, but with calm and
decorous sort of politeness in acknowl-
edgment of his gift, says the New York
Sun.
AS for the giver, he seemed to take
no heed whatever of that acknowledge
ment; he simply kept on talking with
his friend; at the time, however con-
tinuing to pick over the money that he
held in his hand, and in a moment he
dropped another coin in the one-legged
mans hat.
Maybe he thought the first coin was
not enough to give; perhaps he gave
also for his friend; possibly he had
struck it rich and felt flush and gener-
Gus and wanted to give; he might have
been absent minded; but anyhow he
gave twice And as for the one-legged
man he. so to speak. was not carried off
his foot by the incident at all; he sat
perfectly steady. AS the second coin
dropped in his hat he inclined his head
gravely, with an acknowledgment
little more pronounced in manner than
the first, but with no obsequiousness
or foolish show Of thanks. This was
Broadway, il was a business man who
was giving him this money, and he was
making a business acknowledgment.
And maybe he thought that, If he did
not disturb, by too much profuseness
of thanks. what might be sort of in
voluntary or automatic action on the
part of the giver who was thus repeat
ing perhaps he would keep on giving.
