'Tis seldom that Sunday night
sacred service Is given over to the
laity, and when such q thing happens
the laity must have sacred message
involving reverent duty for the con.
gregation to perform or be advised.
So 1t was Sunday night. when Rev.
Dyett gave over his services to Hon.
Isaiah T. Montgomery and Chas
Banks Of Mississippi. The mayor OF
color gave the inception Of the negro
colony. It's rise, and struggling efforts
to demonstrate for the race that the
negro had not only executive. admin
istrative, but commercial abilities, to
gether with all the other elements OF
manhood. A vivid description was
given how the town had progressed
by and through negroes alone, par
ticularly as to the criminal record, as
only two murders had been commit
ted in 13 years. Then Mr.. Banks told
how the town was financed, the bust
ness. trade. mercantile houses, stores,
ETC., were only dependent upon the
negro bank. Of which he Is cashier
and organizer. One could see his
shrewd ability to cope on the mart OF
finance. Both express their pleasure
Of being In Colorado and will come
out again to assist us in developing
Colorado. The choir lnterspersed the
talks with appropriate songs, assisted
BY Prof. Jackson. The congregation
felt very thankful to Rev. Dyett for
the opportunity Of learning such val
uuble information.

MAN GIVES UP MILLIONS TO DON
BLUE UNIFORM.
George T. Tyler, Well Known PhiIa-
deiphia Physician, Leaves Wife,
Child and Lucrative Prac-
tice to Enlist.

Philadelphia.-So here is mys-
titled by the strange action OF DIR.
George Trotter Tyler, who is equally
well known in, social and medical cir
cIes. He has given up the company of
his wealthy wife. worth millions in
her own right: leaves behind his only
child and abandons a lucrative prac-
tice. all to become a surgeon In the
United States army. Whether he was
inspired by the wanderlust, family
disagreement or longing for the
rigors OF army life his friends are un-
able to say.
Mrs. Tyler. who before her marriage
was Miss Theresa P. Coles, grand
daughter of the late John C. Bullitt.
who framed the city charter, has
taken her child and has established a
residence with her mother, Mrs. John
W. Coles. at Wayne. There they have
lately taken house and propose to
reside.
Although she seems uncertain Just
where her husband is at present, Mrs
Tyler was positive that it was not be-
cause of any quarrel that DR.. Tyler
decided to give up his lucrative prac
tice and enter the army. She declared
that he had been longing for army life
for some time and that an opportunity
to crafty his desire came to him re-
Gently.
Nevertheless, DIR. Tyler's friends
are considerably mystified. When the
young doctor married Miss Coles,
three years ago. he was not consid-
cred wealthy. but his bride was. They
are not known to have had any quar-
re1s.
Mrs. Tyler appeared to believe that
her husband was on his way to the
Philippines but it was afterwards
learned that he had been ordered to
Fort Joy. Governors island, New
York, the headquarters of the sur
geons department OF the east.

and the early robin, seeking for its

early worm. Grabbing it with its bill
the robin pulled the worm partly
out of the ground. Then 1t let go. to
take fresh hold. and an English
sparrow swooped down. seized the
worm, and few away with it.
The robin, nothing daunted. hunted
up another worm. and had nearly
completed the process of extraction,
when the English sparrow swooped
down again and carried away this
worm likewise.
This performance was repeated six
times more.
Say. you!" exclaimed the robin.
losing patience at last. why do you
rob me in this measley. contemplate
fashion,"
Because" answered the English
sparrow. you're dead easy. What is
the use of my digging worms when
l can get big slobs like you to dig
them for me?"
Which SO angered the woman who
was watching the birds and had over.
heard the conversation that she
picked up stone, threw 1t at the
sparrow, and came within half an inch
of hitting the robin.
