Old fashioned novels used to end with the in

those modern stories that begin where the
others left of. II is novel of married life and
of the married life of a pair of lovers who were

Of industry. who has built his fortunes on the
ruin Of a fellow townsman and business rival,
John Forsythe. In time, his SON Christian

words. So far as the reader is allowed to know,
there no active opposition on either side,
and the course of true love runs as smooth as

tired Of being merely the fms lady, the pet of
her husband and OF society She feels that her
wealth and position have entailed responsibili-
ties that she dare not shirk. and her phiIan-
hropic activities take her dangerously near tha
line Of subverting the principles which her
husbands fortune is founded. Opposition meets

LITERARY SOCIETIES.

The Literary society and read
ing clubs have their place in all in
tellectual communities. 1t is a
genuine source of congratulation
that the Eureka Literary society
has opened for another year of
work. 1t shows that the colored
people of this city are making Ed
ucational progress that a society of
this kind can continue year after
year. 1t was once said of Denver
as of great many other cities of
the West that no organization of
an intellectual character could re-
main alive beyond the space of a
year. But things are different
now, the Undergraduate association
is now six years old, the Peoples
Sunday Alliance nearly five and
half years the Eureka Literary So
ciety is entering upon its fourth
year. This alone speaks well of
the permanency and enduring in
terest of onr Western People
along intellectual lines. The New
Reading circle organized at Camp
bell A. NJ E. church is the latest
Literary organization to ask for a
place in the time and attention of
the public. Its purpose is ligiti-
mate and worthy and the CoLoRA-
DO STATESMAN takes pleasure in
introducing it to the public and
commenting it to the care and
service of the young people of our
race, Denver like Chicago, Phila-
delphia and Boston is destined to
become a great educational center
and we would be glad to see our
young people keep step with the
pace of progress, Again we say
to one and all thrice welcome, the
Eureka Literary society and the
Peoples Sunday Alliance have
both set high standard and it
will be necessary for the newest
arrivals to hurry if they would
keep in sight.

ZION CHURCH BUILDING.

The work of the Christian church
needs no supplementary praise.
Its membership and influence in
every city are the best proof of its
value, especially where it is con-
Quoted on right lines and gospel
principles of saving, training and
bettering men and preparing them
for larger and more useful lives in
the world that is as well as the one
to come, Zion Baptist church of
this city seems to have had such
standard and is today recognized
as leading congregation of the
great Middle West. They are
preparing to enlarge their work.
They will build on the same
ground where they have been loca-
ted for 80 years a down town
church, a building adapted to the
needs of the times, where they can
reach the masses as well as the
classes, and be convenient to all
Christianity in order to be effec.
tive must be practical and in order
to be practical it must not be
drawn away from the centers but
hold stragetic points this is what
Zion church and it's people seem
wise in doing and in order that
they might accomplish this worthy
end they ought not only to have
the united support of the entire
congregation but the fullest appre-
citation and approval of the public,
the COLORADO STATESMAN while
lending its influence to all worthy
measures especially commends the
efforts of this congregation in the
celebration of its 39th Anniver
sary and building on the ground
made sacred by the Holy associa-
tions of the past and possibilities
of the future.

The sunday services were very
good, Sister Elliot spoke to a very
attentive and appreciative au-
dience. Our Sunday school is do
ing nicely under the management
of Supt. Mrs. Lizzie Palmer. who
by the way is one of few of Sun
day school superintendents who
have had special training for the
work. A graduate of S. S. Nor

Principal of public school in

worker she has but few equals.
At the election of Trustees for
the ensuing year the following per-
sons were chosen: A. j. Bryant,
p. Alexander, VIM. Brown, w. H.
Palmer, they hope to clean up ev-
cry debt by Thanksgiving day.
Mrs. Ed. Lockett was up on a
visit from Durango. She was en-
tertained by Mrs. A. j. Bryant.
A reception was rendered Mrs.
Olive Elliott, Tuesday evening at
the pleasant home of Mrs. Bryant.
A nice social time was had by all

LicoRlcE WOOD A ROOT.
Tho Foundation of Very Pretty and
Dainty Plant.


Pretty nearly 100000 worth OF
hcorice is used up in this country
every year from the lands bordering
on the Mediterranean. Most people
think that licorice is made from the
wooden twigs and branches of a tree.
But in reality the licorice wood is the
root OF very pretty. dainty plant.
which has beautifully shaped leaves
that are colored bright green on one
side and pale silver green on the 9TH
er. The licorice plant is a perennial.
and in England, where they are trying
to make an industry of raising 1t, the
experimenters plant 1t In rows bo-
tween cabbages and potatoes. In the
Mediterranean and oriental countries
great plantations are given up to it al
together. The licorice plant throws
out immensely fleshy roots, full of
Juice when they are fresh. They
spread and burrow far into the earth,
and good, big hole has to ee dug to
get them out. The licorice wood, as
We see 1t here, represents only about
half the original weight and size OF
the root, for fully so per. cent OF the
Juice is lost in drying it. Therefore
the licorice dealers are getting to be
more and more in favor OF squeezing
the juice of the roots on the spot and
then shipping this extract.

and guard against the schemes of
grafters and fakirs generally is to
read your newspapers religiously,
