A rhymster on the Denver Republic

into the following amusing verses
Smith never faced the footlights

And never heard applause;
His name will never figure as
A cognomen that draws;
But when he calls upon girl
And whispers low her name,
He's acting out a little part
He's acting, just the same.
Jones rests all comfy in seat
Upon a crowded car;
woman clings unto a strap,
An she must travel far:
But when he reads SO busily
He cannot see this dame,
He's acting out little part
He's acting, just the same.
Brown goes to church on Sabbath
morn
Six days he's planned and schemed,
And he has gained much tainted coin
With pledges unredeemed;
And when he puts gold piece on
The plate and shows 20 shame,
He's actinguut liettc part
He's acting. just the same
And so it goes, from day TO day,
Upon the stage Of life:
With little parts that are not true
This play Of ours II rife;
And he who swears be never acts,
But always lives the game,
Is acting out a little part
He's acting, just the same.

alleged failure. to take due meas
ures to prevent the rioting at Fort
Brown. He was shot twice by a
negro who gained entrance to bis
home. The President has declared
the firm conviction that just such
speeches as that of Senator Fora
ker do the most to incite such out
RACES and crimes. The belief is
strong that Capt. Macklin's assail-
ant was one of the discharged men
of the twenty.fifth infantry, and
the President takes the ground
that nothing would be more calcu
lated to egg on such men TO such
deeds than the speech of Senator
Foraker.
Political and army circles were
on the qui we of excitement to
night when it was feared that the
President had directly attacked
Foraker in such a connection.
The Senator was seen, but decliu-
ed absolutely to discuss the mat
ter. He did not yet know what
the President had said, and, more
over, had no desire to engage in
such discussion. He would say
whatever he may ultimately deem
necessary from the floor of the
Senate.
The Foraker speech on Thurs
day was yiciobs arraignment of
the Presidents course throughout
the entire affair of the Browns
vile troops. He weighed, studied
and analysed the evidence on
which the President based his con-
clusion that the men of the dis
charged companies were guilty of
INSTRUMENTATION in refusing to re
veal who of their number were
guilty of rioting, and held that
the President had utterly mis-
conceived his own constitutional
powers in the premises" He de
clared that a great crime had been
committed against justice and fair
play"
The speech greatly incensed
President Roosevelt. The very
night following the day of its de.
livery, Capt. Maclin was shot in
bis quarte9e E.eae2ttno, and the
assailant, the assailant, a masked
negro, escaped. The Presidents
charge that the Foraker speech
was incendiary and very likely in
spired the shooting, will not fail
to add to the bitterness with which
the discussion will be resumed In
the Senate after the holidays.
There is indeed said to be posi-
bility that the Foraker resolution
for a Senate Investigation may
pass.

six employees OF the Jackson Lum-

when the jury returned verdict Of
guilty against three defendants in the
second case to be heard that the de-

Just before the noon hour District
Attorney Sheppard stated that the de-

with the offense.

Immense Value of Agricul-
tural, Manufactured and
Mineral Products.
CONSERVATlVElY ESTIMATED
THAT THE TOTAL THIS YEAR
WILL BE NEARLY TWENTY
THREE AND A HALF BILLION
DoLLARs-GREAT INCREASE IN
FARM VALUES.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The vast
growth of this country still attracts
the wonder of the entire world, and
1t is not surprising if we, as Ameri-
cans, become little inflated, and
boast of our being world power in
more senses than one
1t is conservatively estimated that
the total value of agricultural and
manufacturing products, and the out
put of our mines for the year 1906
will reach S23, 100000, 900. That is
more than all the world produced less
than forty years ago. AS a larger
per cent of our population is engaged
in farming than in any other pursuit,
it will be interesting to note that in
fifteen years, on since 1890, the value
of farm properties has increased from
s16,6S2, 100000 to $4,000, 100000, and
the value of farm products in the same
time has jumped from $2,466, 900, 900
to $500, 100000, gain of nearly 300
per cent. Take our exports: In 1890
agricultural exports amounted to
10000 900, and in 1906 to $976,0OO.-
600. In the same time manufactured
exports increased from $151 600, 900 in
1890 to $500. 900. 900 in 1906.
1t is confidently predicted that our
agricultural exports in 1907 will pass
the billion dollars mark. Great as has
been the growth of our manufacturing
industries, and the tremendous
strides We have made in that direction
agriculture still leads by large mar.
gin in the matter of exports. Nearly
all the world is made tributary to the
United States and the nsw era that is
promised when we have a merchant
marine equal to the demands of ON
ocean carrying trade, wilIsoon cap
