JOHN WALTON, OLD COlORAD'
DAN, LAID TO REST.

John Walton who departed this life
November 27th at his residence 1922
Arapahoe street, was born in Louis
vile, Kentucky in 1885. Having lived
to the good old age of eighty-two
yearas, he witnessed many and great
improvements and developments in
Colorado where he lived for many
years, and his conversations on West
ern life were very interesting. He
leaves a son, two daughters, four
nieces, three nephews, grandson
and daughter-in-law to mourn his loss.
He was very religious and his last
utterances were expressive of his
anxiety to enter the land beyond. Our
sympathy is extended to the bereaved
relatives.
The Colorado statesman., 1917-12-15

fidence was placed in the individual
who had the courage of his or her
convictions to assist in working out
propaganda that was beneficial to
the community.
The expression, quit Kickin' Your
Janitor Around" originating from Mr..
Doyle's speech, was echoed in chor-
us from nearly one hundred persons
present, including men and women, OF
whom twenty-five were colored, and
the stirring and impressive appeals
from the speakers made one feel 1t
was good to be there. Refreshments
were served and the secretary of the
Janitors' union was kept busy receiv-
ing applications from new members.
The regular meetings of the Janitors
union are held every Thursday even
ing. 401 Club building, 1871 Arapahoe
street. For full information of this
organization, our people should see G.
C. King Sunday school superintend-
ent, Shorter chapel, who is recording
secretary of this union; also c. W. Bu-
ford of 1141 Downing street, labor en-
thusiast, who takes prominent part
in everything pertaining to the well
fare of our people in Denver.

Eskimos, Festival of Masks.

When the winter solstlce approaches
the Eskimos of Alaska get ready for
their great annual festival of the
basks. The Eskimos have the artistic
instinct highly developed, and the
masks worn by their dancers who take
the parts of gods and goddesses, devils
and various supernatural animals.
such as the wolf and dbear-"ancients"
of all the wolf and bear tribes-are
most cleyerly sculptured. The leading
Iart in the festival of the winter sol
stice, the object of which is to per-
suade the sun to return to the north
is always taken by II man wearing q
mask that represents the sun. Other
performers wear on their hands "fin.
ger masks" of the sun god, fringed
with white hair from the reindeer's
belly, for rays. And not least con-
spicuous In the ceremonial is an actor
masked to represent the moon.

Sermon topics Sunday, Dec. 10th:
II a. m, "The Neutrality of God Oc-
casioned by the Neutrality of Man"
p. M, shall the Sword Devour
Foreyer?'
The above named sermon subjects
will be items of pulpit interests at
both services tomorrow. AS usual
good music will be a feature. The
public is cordially invited to partici-
pate in all the religious activities of
this church.
Last Sabbath was cold day. The
almost sudden drop of the ther-
mometer did not prevent an eXcep-
tionally large crowd from turning out
at o'clock to hear the post-Thanks-
giving musicale. With the exception
of one or two members of the Gate
woods Orchestra, who We're unavoid-
ably absent on account of the inciem'
ency of the weather and their duties
at the furnace at such times, Mr..
Gatewood's cohorts of musicians made
their first appearance at this church
in connection with the carrying out
of the concert. That this splendid or
ganization may be given an oppcrtun-
ity to advertise it's ability before the
great audience, and that the great au-
dience in turn might have a chance to
Judge the worth of these men and
women and thus register their appre-
citation or manifest their criticism, the
greater part of the program was COM
mitted to the orchestra. The impress
sion made by these rising artists was
one of great commendation and more
especially when we take into consid-
Grafton the short time they were pre-
pairing themselves and the kind of
music they had to handle. The pro-
gram was a huge success from every
rational viewpoint. Under the tuition
of Mr. Gatewood the orchestra Will
soon be musical force in Denver.
The presbyter takes this opportunity
to thank all the people for the patron
age on the occasion of last Sabbath as
well as on similar occasions in the
past. Owing to pressing duties that
will consume the pastors time out of
the church and state during the COM
ing year. Rev. Thos. HAZEL has called
to his assistance Mr.. w. Gatewood as
conductor of the Peoples Presbyterian
church choir after Dec. 81, 1917. The
standard of musical efficiency will be
sustained as heretofore with marked
improvements.
