OFFICERS WOULD-BE
SLAYER Is ARRESTED
"Paddy" Stack Accused of Taking Pot
Shot at Policeman Tom
Riee

When Officer Tom Rice saw one of his
brothers on the force bring Paddy
Stack into the station last night he was
agreeably surprised. Several years ago
Stack, it is charged, took pot shot at
Rice, and had it not been for a lucky
occurrence the officer would have been
perforated by bullet. The leaden
pellet which Stack intended for Rice hit
one of the buttons on the latter's vest
and glanced off and buried itself in a
nearby tree.
Stack was taken to the station last
night from 1887 West Seventh street,
where he had fallen down a stairway.
He was suffering from cut on the
head and in addition was slightly in
toXicated.

might be considered phenomenal golf

LUCK IN THE HORSESHOE.

Legend of st. Dunstan the Origin Of

The origin of belief in Horseshoe

no superstition is more universal
Ever since horses began to wear
shoes those crescents of iron have
been accounted luck emblems by all
peoples, races and nations that have
been acquainted with their use. In
England. up TO comparatively recent
times, horseshoes were extensively
used almost everywhere as antiwitch
charms and the custom is not even yet
IN extinct one. No witch, It used to
be said, could enter a building over
the door Of which horseshoe, or bet
ter still, three horseshoes, had been
afhxed, prongs downward.
The origin Of this particular belief
Is referable to the old legend of st.
Dunstan. This versatile ecclesiastic
was a skilled farrier and one day
while at work in his forge the evil
one entered in disguise and requested
Dunstan to shoe his Single hoof. "
The saint, although he at once recog.

THE NEGRO AS A CITIZEN.

Ihere are those IL tnlS country,
who, because of their inborn pre-
judice to the Negro fail to see any
qualities in him, worthy of COM
mendation, or even, reciprocal re-
spect. We submit that this class
of our fellow citizens look through
their jaundice glasses, and thus
their sights are as delusiye as
their senses; let them pull off their
jaundice glasses and look through
the lens of common sense and
calculate the Negroes worth in a
common sence and practical way,
the results of which will be SO con-
vincing, overwhelmingly convinc-
ing, that in the light of our pre-
sent civilization, they will have
more respect for the truth and the
common sence of others than to
make such unjust and unreason-
able statements. The civilization
by which we are envioned is the
outgrowth of Caucasian brain and
achievements; but it has taken
them thousands of years to develop
it. They, in this country, point to
their George Washington, their
Webster, their Lincoln, their
Blaine, their Reed and their Nc
Kinley as statesmen. They point
to their Grant, their Lee, their
Sheridan, their Sherman and their
Dewey as warriors. They point
to their Beecher, their Bascomb as
great preachers and pulpiteers.
But they are the product as we
have said of years and years of
training. Now, let us see if the
Negro has shown any efficiency
along the line above mentioned.
First of all. is he soldier and is
he capable of material prowess?
We refer you to the war records of
this country dating as far back as
the Revolutionary war. AS great
preachers, and thinkers, we point
with pride to Turner, to Grant, to
Price and to Bishop Moore. AS
statesmen, we point to Douglass,
to Bruce and to Richard Harvey
Cain. AS lawyers, we point to T.
McCant Stewart, j. L. Mitchell,
Lee, and Morris. AS merchants,
we point to R. j. Palmer, Irving
Miller, and scores of others. AS
doctors, their name is "legions,"
because they are many. In this
particular profession it appears
that the Negro has made unparal-
lelled progress, for he does the en-
tire parctice or very nearly SO, of
his race. Now, all this has been
done within forty years. The CON-
parison is good one, and any fair
minded man will SO conceive.
This has been done too, under the
most adverse circumstances. OF
course we have been helped by a
few white men and women, but
the great majority of the whites
have fought the Negroes progress
in every conceivable way; despite
this, however, he gradually rises,
and will continue to do SO, for he
is stronger now than he was forty
years ago. Let his motto be, Trust
in God and do the right. Sunday
School Monitor.

STRENUOUS LIFE.

Almost as total population OF
Colorado the Negro stands off and
feels that he is not in touch with
the great strenuous life which is
the heart of the present century s
human existence. The world S
problems are not ours. There are
no problems for us except those
touching the right and the oppor-
tunity to live. If we can be EN-
ployed in some way and dragged
along in the wake of the world S
hurrying events, we will be half
way content, at least. Such seems
the position of the Negro race in
Colorado, but, as a matter of truth,
is there not great, ardent life
opening before this same Negro
Is there not great business devel-
opment awaiting an enlightened
direction? Are there not great
social, financial and political prob
lens of racial unity worldwide in
their application, appealing for
recognition before the awakening
Negro of to-day?
Wealth getting is the first great
motive with the Caucasian. Let
it be SO with the Negro. The
money getting spirit carries en-
lightenment and civilization with
it.
Business is the watchword OF
to-day. Even with the field filled
up and handicapped as it is here,
100000 of people of our race are
sufficient within themselves to
create volume of business OF
their own which would be more
than respectable. But our busi-
ness enterprises can easily take a
peculiar advantage, providentially
reserved, II they Will, py seeking
development on African soil. We
are not talking of emigration. We
are talking of business.
The wonderful and sagacious IN
formation coming occasionally to
the Negroes of this country from
native sources, combines to pre-
sent to us a special business phase
of life, gigantic in its possibilities
and reserved for and applicable
to us alone. In our present pow
erty, this must sound like dream
talk. But it is natural and there
fore undoubtedly true. Men OF
faith, courage, patience, men OF
loyal race desire and strenuous
energy are awakening among Ne
