Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

The present week has witnessed hot
times at the building, the rivalry be-
tween the boys of the different clubs
becoming very keen and increasing
with every meeting. The All-Employed
boys at first showed signs of "cold
feet" and seemed to be inclined to
..lay down. to the Hi-Y boys but they
soon rallied their forces and prepared
for the conflicts. The opening contest
in billiards was played off Tuesday
evening between Dave Mayo for the
All-Employed and Conway Gray for
the Hi-Y. 1t looked at first as II the
opening game was going to the latter
club, but Mayo pulled himself together
and won out, the score being 20 to lo.
The spelling contest between the two
clubs will come off on Thursday even
ing, but it is too early mt this writing
to forecast the result.
A fine bunch of Hi-Y's met together
for their hour on Tuesday evening, one
new member being added to the club.
They first listened to an address by
Mr.. Arnold, City Wide Boys Work
secretary. The rest of the hour was
given to Bible study and to business.
The club of smaller boys which
meets every Saturday morning had a
great time at the last meeting. The
indoor baseball score (Which was
played on the outside) was 1912 or
43-43. it will never be known which,
owing to miX-up in the count just at
the last of the game. Boxing and
wrestling made up the remainder of
the program, when the hour was closed
by the reading of Bible story.
Mrs. Lettie NJ. Outlaw, who has re-
Gently come to the city from Green
wood, Miss, will speak at the meeting
tomorrow Sunday afternoon. Mrs
Outlaw is Il well informed and cultured
lady, knows every phase of Southern
life and has n most interesting story
to tell. We feel sure that every one
will be glad to hear her. The meeting
begins promptly at 4 o'clock. All are
invited to come.

CITY ELECTION BECOMING VERY
INTERESTING.

Indications point to the closest con-
test ever To be Witnessed in NUM-
cipal election in Denver for several
years. John Brisben Walker, Sidney
Eastwood, Judge Henry Johnson, Cass
Harrington and Dewey c. Bailey, the
latter now occupying the position OF
manager of excise and safety, are the
candidates for mayor.
All have lived in Denver for many
years. and as professional men, men
of wealth, good reputation, always de-
sirous to assist in city improvements
and boosting for Denver, the public
will not have very easy time in their
selection. Each has announced his
platform, which he believes will be
greatly beneficial to the people, and
up to this tiifie the COLORADO
STATESMAN advises our large body
of electors to follow closely the plat
forms of these candidates and LOOK
WELL BEFORE YOU LEAP.

Under the head Of "Thirty-flet Con-
gress, second session, Senate, the FREE
PRESS of 1851 in question prints tnese
striking reports:
Mr. Clay presented two petitions from
Pittsburg and Uniontown. Pa. complain

"Mr. Benton said that yesterday he had
shown the California private land claim
bill to be fragrant violation Of the con-
stitution of the United States and judi

tween private citizens"

prising changes in customs and ideas az

DANGEROUS PLANTS

1t is rather alarming to realize that
number or the wild flowers OF which
we are all so fond contain deadly poisons,
according to an article in the September
issue of Boys Life, the Boy Scout maya
zine.
The dafodii is an instance In point.
It's long narrow leaves contain a power
full irritant poison. and children should
be warned most strongly against chew
ing them.
The common foxglove contains poison
which has the most extraordinary eff
feet upon the heart, whose action may
be reduced to only seventeen beats to the
minute. or any one thus poisoned, the
pupils of the eyes are widely dilated, and
his only chance of life is to lie absolutely
still until the doctor comes.

glossy leaves. A most dangerous plant
1t is, too. If you chew a leaf your tongue
swels enormously; so much so that you
will be almost unable to swallow. Melted
butter is the best remedy for poisoning
by this plant.
The most dangerous of all common
hedgerow plants is the aconte or monks
hood, which has palm-shaped leaves. A
very small dose causes a strange tingling

often have so-calied 'pepper-corn' hairs
distributed very abundantly over their
bodies. Their noses are broad and flat.
their lips thick, their arms dispropor-
tionately long
They DO not tattoo their bodies. but
ornament them with scar patterns. pro-
duced by cutting through the skin with
sharp pieces of bamboo and rubbing dirt
into the wounds thus formed in order to
infect them and make good big scars.
The men wear small clouts, and the
women short skirts reaching from the
waist to the knee. They are very fond

preferred, but individuals who cannot get
CLOTH and there are many such, use in
stead the so-called, bark cloth so wide
ly employed by inhabitants Of the Islands
of the Pacific. Men frequently shave the
crowns of their heads in order to let the
heat out
Throughout the year they subsist
chiefly on vegetable products, which they
obtain from the virgin forest, and on fish
and game. They are wonderful woodsmen
and display great skill In taking fish
and game and In sti1l-hunting their
enemies: but here their proficiency ends.
They are good at nothing else. and their
Intelligence is of an exceptionally low
order.
Many Of the Negritos point their
front teeth but not by filing them as
Is commonly supposed. A chip of wood
is held behind the tooth to be opera ted
upon; the point of bolo Is placed in
such position as to slant acrss the
corner of tooth to be remved and sharp
blow on the bolo chips a piece from the
tooth. The opposite corner is similarly
operated upon, and an artistic point is
thus produced.
THE music and dancing Of the Negritos
are especially interesting. Many Of them
know how to make and to play both the
bamboo nose-flute and a kind Of jews
harp made from bamboo. Some of them
use crude stringed Instruments fashioned
from single Joints Of bamboo, the strings
being cut from the outer layer Of wood,
to which their ends remain attached, and
being raised up by means of bridges
The distribution of the several kinds of
musical instruments above mentioned Is
more or less local, but the bronze tom
tom or 'gansa," is in universal use. al
though some Negritos play 1t with n
drumstick. while others beat it with their
hands. Many of their dances are panto-
mimic Their singing is often weird in
the extreme.
There are many stories current to the
effect that Negritos are often to be met
with wandering through the forest in
a state of absolute nudity and that they
indulge in various obscene dances. I am
satisfied that the former series Of tales
are without foundation in fact Objec-
tionable dances are very rare among the
wild peoples of the Philippines. although
they are sometimes INDUCED in by the
Moros, and are common among the Mano-
hos of Mindanao.
THE head-hunting peoples of the Phil
ippines are apparently limited to northern
Luzon. None Of the warlike hill tribes
inhabiting other parts of the archipelago
are known to take the heads Of their
victims"

THE ST. 7F
MAIL CARTIER 20 YEARS

With record Of mileage equal to over
hve times around the world, Henry a.
Holder of st. Johnsbury has completed
80 years Of service as city mail carrier
and is still on the job just as faithful
and accommodating as ever. st. Johns
bury was the third community to have
free delivery and Mr.. Holder is the only
one living who began his duties when
the service was established. His other
two associates were James K. Bennett
and j. Albert Paddock, both deceased.
In the early days of the service Mr.
Holder had longer route than at pres
ent though his average mileage is 10
miles. This means that the carrier must
make the trip in rain or shine, and In
winter often breaking paths on the morn
ing trip. 1t Is doubtful IL any carrier
in New England has n longer service
record or has travelled more miles than
