FORTUNE TOOK A HAND.
Calculation Had Been Overlooked by
Careful Man.

1 had friend who did his duty to
himself and others with such zeal
that he never went to bed without
taking his temperature or got up
without drinking a scientific decoc-
tion the name and composition of
which have forgotten; the flavor,
however, was such as rendered the
duty performed particularly meritor
ious. His dietary wHs based on the
most scientific principles; he weighed
himself before and after each meal;
he had his appendix removed, so as
to avoid all risk of appendicitis, and,
in short, he so fully realized the duty
of being healthy and long lived that
he never had time to do anything else
or talk about anything else. Unfortu-
nately, he never took that tickle jade
Fortune" into his calculations, and
after only year of striving most man.
fully to fulfill the duty of being long
lived he slipped on piece of orange
peel and fractured the base of his
skull.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Transferring Daniel,

A clergyman, recently engaged with
another of different belief in a con-
troversy regarding some questions of
religion, sent to a newspaper office a
long article, supporting his side of the
question. The manuscript had been
set up" in type for the next days
issue. About midnight the telephone
bell rang furiously, the minister ct
the other end asking for the city edi-
tor. Il am sorry to disturb you at
such a late hour" he said, but am
in great trouble" What can do for
you?" was asked. In the article |

Horses Shoes Get Hot.

Popular Mechanics says that a
horse shod with metal shoes should
not be driven rapidly on an asphalt
pavement. The heat produced is
painful to the animal and may be in.

two men INDUCED in a friendly horse
race on asphalt. One of the horses
cast shoe and when the rider picked
it up it blistered his hand and did
not cool off for several minutes. AT
each step the horse slips a little and
this constant friction of the metal
shoe under weight upon the sand in
the pavement generates high degree
of heat.

Made a 6ooz Trade.

Years ago, when the stlges used to
stop at East Lebanon, N. H., the tav-
ern was kept by Landlo,d Barns.
Every fall the farmers uset to go to
the city with the produce. One fall
when they passed through, the good
landlord had just buried his wife, and
the travellers pitied him.
When the next fall came, and one
of the travellers arrived, he said to
the landlord 81 have pitied you all
this year for losing your wife. 1t was
a hard blow"
81 don't know about that replied
the landlord. 81 married another
woman with boy big enough to

CRAZE FOR OFFICE.

There are colored men who seem
to think that some political posi-
ton, no matter how meuial, or
how much loss of self respect the
begging for its entails, is the true
goal of life and the great sourse
of happiness and contentment.
This idea has positively become
a mapia with some. They will
abandon good, honorable, indepen-
dent and lucrative trades or call
ings to be snubbed and treated
with contempt while they hang
around. dance attendance and
toady to politicians for a miserable
janitorship or something of the
sort. During the campaign these
politicians gave them the ever
ready smile, and extended to them
the glad hand. But they seem
utterly incapable of perceiving the
icy stare and the marble heart of
the selfsame politicians after the
battle is fought and the victory
won. For the benefit of this class
of office-seekers it would be very
humane and worthy act if some
artist would draw pictures of their
relative political Importance lin

GARDENS HERE AND ABROAD.
Fundamental Difference in Their ReIa-
tion to the Family.

ton TO the Family.
There is a fundamental difference
between the English and the Ameri-
can garden, writes Prof L. H. Bailey
in the Garden Magazine. The Eng
lishman's garden is well nigh as es-
sential as his house. 1t is like an ex-
ira room to the residence 1t is for the
family rather than for the public. 1t
therefore works itself into developing
consciousness of children, and garden
love becomes as much a part of the
person as books and furniture and
music do. An English teacher recent
ly inspected the study worl, at Cornell
university. What surprises me-" she
said, sis that you need to do such
work. The English child loves nature
as if by instinct" The American gar
den is likely to be all in front yard.
1t is usually of the lool1-at-me kind.

GuBERNAToRIAL APPOINTMENTS.

The governor has already made
many appointments, but as we go
to press we have not yet discover
ed the name of a colored appoin-
tee. 1t is well known that the
colored citizens earnestly and al
most unanimously supported Gov
Peabody in the last election, al
though great pressure and many
inducements were brought to bear
upon them to vote for Alva
Adams. This fact was highly ap-
preciated by Gov. Peabody, who is
on record as frankly saying that
the colored element was more 10y
al to the ticket than any other
class of citizens. This free ex-
preston and keen sense of graft
tude would unquestionably have
taken form in some fitting and
substantial appointment extended
to some worthy representative of
the race by Gov. Peabody, had he
not resigned his high Office. 1t is
not too much to trust and believe
that his successor, the present
governor, will catch his spirit and
carry out his policy on this head
as well as in other respects. That
broad and general policy would be
to consolidate and harmonize the
various elements of the party by
just and proper recognition, de-
void of all discrimination save that
barred upon merit and fitness. The
COLORADO STATESMAN, without
egotism can say that it was a great
factor in bringing about this solid
support of the colored citizens for
the gubernatorial ticket. In every
issue during the campaign it CON-
batted and exposed the fallacious
reasonings of the colored Demo-
cratic organ and other papers
which tried to mislead the voters.
And now that Gov. Mcdonald is
the beneficiary of the long and ar
duous fight make for Peabody it is
quite natural that he might be ex-
pected to give that recognition to
the race which Peabody found
himself under obligation to give.
We hope the governor will be
swayed by the high aspiration of
President Roosevelt, who has de-
clared that the door of opportunity
should not be closed against any
citizen on account of race or color.

KEEPING BODY IN CONDITION.
"Hardeaing" Process a Good Prevent.

"Hardeaing" Process Good Prevent.
i've of Colds.
Modern research seems to have es-
tablished the fact that, after all, the
"old-fashioned" ideas with regard to
colds are not far wrong. 1t is, of
course, true, says the Literary Digest,
that a cold is malady due to
germs; but there seems to be no doubt
that the chilling of the body lessons
its resistance and SO renders it an
easy prey.
In the Arctic region, where the In
fuenza germ cannot live, and where
colds are said to be unknown, it may
be safe to sit in draught or to get
ones feet wet; but in the temperate
zone these indulgences will continue to
be risky for the average man.
Reviewing experiments and observa-
tions made in this field, the Medical
Record says:
"A point of practical Importance is
the fact that it was found that repeat
ed exposure to slight degrees of cold
brought about an increase of anti
bodies, and this observation therefore
affords theoretical justification of
the practically approved methods of
hardening the body by hydrotheIa-
peutic and other methods of training
Such procedures should not only serve
to protect against cold and allied con-
ditions, but also should render the
body better able to cope with bac.

Yazoo is again heard from.
What and where is Yazoo anyway?
1t is little one-horse town in the
state of Mississippi. Situated in
one Of the richest farming bottoms
of that state it has always seemed
to take more kindly to raising
"cane" than cotton or corn. va
ZOO! Who would suppose a place
of such an outlandish and barbar-
Gus name could be found in the
United States? Whenever the
name is mentioned our mind in
voluntarily turns to the Bashi-
Bazouks, those brutal semi civil
zed tribes of southeastern Europe
who mangle and mutilate their en-
emies when taken prisinors in war.
The Yazooites have not done much
of that lately. But the spsrit is
still there. A short time ago at a
u. S. civil service examination for
"A clerkship in the local post office,
open to all citizens, a young color
ed man received the. highest marks
and was awarded the place.
Thereupon he was threatened and
buldozed by the white Yazooites
in way that he concluded it was
best in the interest of his health
and life to resign. Another com
petitive examination was held and
again another colored youth OBJ
tained the prize. This time the
cowardly crowd organized them
selves into a band of midnight
whitecappers and, seizing the col
ored brother, compelled him by
dire threats and Il well-timed dis
play of deadly weapons to leave
Yazoo his home. He at once pro-
ceeded to Washington to lay his
case before the president. This
happened only few days ago, and

BEAUTY OF IRISH PROVERBS.
Some Sayings Which Prove the True
Wit of the Race

VIII OF the hdCe.
The proverbs of nation are the
distilled wit of generations of its peo-
pie; and the true wit of the race is
oftentimes in proportion to the truth
and beauty of its proverbs. Few ma
tions and few languages possess more
beautiful sayings than the Irish. THE
silent mouth is melodious," is an Irish
aphorism pregnant with beauty and
poetry. And another saying, inculat-
ing charity which is spiritually need
ed in this modern world of ours, is
that which tells us Our eyes should
bo blind in the abode of another"
The beautiful faith and magnificent op-
timism of the Irish race are well pic
tured in their proverb, God never
shuts one door but He opens two."
Autumn days come softly, quickly
like the running of hound upon a
moor" is poetic, vivid truth. And
here is sharp satirical one that cuts
several ways at the same time: "A
poem ought to be well made at first,
for there, is many one to spoil it
afterward. ."-Leslie's Monthly Maya

The cattle market of Southern
Utah is In practically the same con
dition today that all of the Industries
of our country are in. The sale of
cattle is controlled by individuals
who hold the prices down and COM
pei the stockmen to either sell TO them
or find another market, and as they
are not organized they find It is out
OF the question to take their few and
journey to the eastern markets.
The individuals who dominates our
market are able to keep all other
buyers out by telling them they can
sell to them cheaper than they can
purchase the same cattle in this coun-
ty.
This is a deplorable condition to
and our market in, but 1t will con :
time as long as we sit supinely down
and ALLOW it. Under this condition
the prices of cattle have ben steadi-
ly falling for several years and if it
continues much longer our cattle
won't be worth the trouble it takes
to gather them.
The recent sales in this part of the
country offer good illustration
Of the evil we wish to see abated.
Practically all of the cattle that we're
turned over to the buy ers we're con-
tracted for several months ago; when
