CITIZEN DIES SUD-
DENLY.

James L. Laws, prominent citizen
of Steamboat Springs, Colo, and for
merly of Denver, was found dead in
his home last week, Wednesday, June

been stricken while he was partaking
of Il MONDAY meal. Mr. Laws was
born in Missouri siXty-two years ago
and was educated in Lawrence, Kan.
A man of splendid physique and char
acter, he was held in much esteem by
the citizens of Steamboat Springs
among whom he lived, and worked for
n number of years. He was spoken
of as being very faithful to duty, and
a man whose purpose was to help IN
the building-up of community, us wen
as proving the worth of citizen Dy
maintaining self-respect and contrib
uting to good government in becoming
n home owner and accommodating that
which is conducive to good and non
est living. His body was brought TO

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

Secretary Townsend has been as
sisting the Sunday School Institute in
its program during the past week. His
services are highly mentioned. He also
had very successful time at the
convention that met at Boulder, where
he was the only colored representa-
tive.
Secretary Bell was shocked almost
out of his boots when Frank Jones, one
of his old boys belonging to the first
set, came upon him as he was working
last Saturday morning. He was sur
prised at Franks growth, and of the
knowledge and intelligence he dis
played concerning persons and places.
Never give a boy out" said he, as
Frank went away. "He has a thou

WORK OF COLORED CIVIC
ASSOCIATION.

The work of the Denver Civic and
Commercial Association for the city of
Denver can be paralleled by no SINH
lar body in this country. The work of
uplift and of harmonizing the various
business, commercial, social and other
activities furnishes an object lesson
not to be found elsewhere.
The Colored branch of this associa-
ton is justly proud of its affiliation,
and, though working under severe
handicaps, they are trying to emulate
the parent body by efforts and admo-
nitions which, If followed assiduously,
will greatly enhance the good work in
the sphere of their activities.
Some day, some time, the beautiful
ideals of this Colored Civic and Com
mercial Association will develop into
real community ornaments and the
work now being done will show to
greater advantage. At the present
this work for social and business ac-
tivity, which is cumulative, will bear
fruit worthy of the community.

C. M. e. CHURCH NOTES

Last Sunday an interesting session
of the Sunday School was had. All
present expressed themselves as hav-
ing spent a profitable as well as an
enjoyable hour.
The minister in charge, Rev. c. E..
Chapman, was the speaker both morn
ing and evening At the morning hour
Rev. Chapman used as his subject,
Builders Among other things, he
said: Each of you is a builder; each
builder has the right to choose his
own foundation. Some day your build
ing and foundation will be tried, and
only one building and one foundation
will stand That building is the build
ing founded upon the rock, Christ
Jesus, and that foundation is the rock,
Christ Jesus" At the evening hour
the subject was "The Ten Virgins"
These sermons were enjoyed by all
who heard them. Next Monday eve
ming Rev. Chapman will leave for Ell
dorado, Kan, where he goes to attend
the Kansas district conference, where
he is to preach the first Sunday in
July. He will preach next Sunday
here, both morning and evening.

Gipsles In History.

The original gipsies appeared in
Europe at about the beginning of the
Sixteenth century. 1t is probable that
they were of Hindu origin and were
either eNiled because of their religious
beliefs or ran away from the persecu-
ton of Tamerlane, or Timur, the great
Tartar conqueror who invaded India.
AS their origin was mystery to Eu-
rope when they appeared on its East
ern plains, some German savant de-
creed that they were Egyptians. The
popular corruption of the word
Egyptian" is the name by which they
are now known the world over.

Historic Dead Sea.

The Dead sea, Il lake in Asiatic Tur-
tremity of Palestine, probably got its
name because its atmosphere was for
merly supposed to he fatal to life-an
erroneous idea, for the people who
live on its banks are said to be in the
enjoyment of good health. But fish
cannot live in its waters. which are
especially nauseating. The Jordan
and SIX other rivers flow into the
Dead sea, which has no outlet, but
gets rid of its surplus by evaporation.
In the Bible this baneful body of wa
ter is called the Salt Sea of the Plains
and Sea of the Arabah.
