How much for the lot?" said the
skinny old-elf.

myself
Now a dollar vas not half their
worth, as Skinner knew,
But true 20 his nature he started 20

Just knock of a quarter and throw

said Skinner the skinner, "or else
there's no deal"
Then this skinny old fisherman had
a great hunch:
sa!d he: Give me the dollar. and
take the whole bunch"
Although such 4 big one I won't let
the eel
stand between you and I and a fair

Then this old sinner. Skinner. the
dollar did pay
To the skinny old man who walked
quickly away
And Skinner got ready the big eel to
skin.
While his skinny old face wore a
satisfied grin.
He took up his knife, laid the eel on
a block
The eel proved electric and gave him
A shock.
Then in fury and rage he cursed and
he grinned;
He'd been skinned by the man whom
he thought he had skinned.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

With this week the second INSTALL
ment of our subscriptions to the new
Y. NJ. G. A. fund comes to a close. A
much higher percentage of the INSTALL
ment was paid in during the month of
April. Already 80 per cent more has
been paid in than the total for which
we first went out. The report of the
finance committee prepared for the
committee of management, which will
be presented at the meeting next week,
shows that nothing of the kind has
been done in any community hereto
fore. We are hoping that even high
er percentage shall be maintained dur
ing the month of June. We wish to
keep constantly before the minds of
our subscribers the fact that August
will soon be here-the time planned by
the board of directors for the begin
ming of the work towards the new
building. AS the plans of the board
have been enlarged on account of the
doubling of the subscriptions by the
people, it becomes necessary that the
contributions should be paid in full in
order that the committee of manage
ment might not be embarrassed at the
moment when the time for work on
the new building comes. All delinquent
subscriptions therefore should be
promptly paid in and the installment
for June must not be allowed to lag.
The mistakes that occurred during
the drive and which caused a good deal
of confusion when the collection of the
pledges began to be made have been
pretty well cleared up by the efforts
of our branch and the Central Associa-
tion. Should anyone, however, be
aware of any mistake still existing in
his account we shall be very glad to be
informed of such. Now, let everyone
see how quickly he can get his name
on the honor roll.

Beneath clear skies and with ideal
Colorado weather predominating,
Decoration Day services were appro-
priately observed and due honor paid

of our own soldier boys appeared to
advantage and caused a feeling of pride
to arise in our hearts.

ELKS' ANNUAL MEMORIAL SER
VICE MAKES GREAT IMPRESS
SION ON PUBLIC.

MOUNTAIN Lodge No. 80 of the I'M
proved Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks of the World made a great i'm
preston on the people of Denver as to
the usefulness and benefits of frater-
nal organizations in our community,
when at their annual memorial and
thanksgiving service at st. Stephens
Baptist church last Sunday they gave
demonstration of the principle and
purpose of this liberal and charitable
institution.
Led by the Elks' band, upwards of
100 members of the male lodge, with
the assistance of the sister lodge,
Mountain Temple No. 173, who joined
the parade in automobiles, formed in
procession and marched along a route
traversing the most important residen-
tial sections of East Denver, and in
the expression of a very critical OBJ
server, "they presented an appearance
and offered a decorum that has never
been witnessed here for long time"
At the Church of st. Stephen, Thirty
second avenue and Lafayette street,
the Rev. Floyd I. Smith, pastor of the
church, delivered an address which en-
couraged the members to continue
their good work for the cause of hui
manity, and elaborated on the influen-
tial and uplifting tendencies of the Or
der of Elks in any community. Eulo-

MR.. AND MRS. JAMES WELDON
JOHNSON TO VISIT DENVER
IIIustrious Scholar, Poet and Race
Leader to Speak Here Aug. II

~ HE Denver Branch of the N. A.
A. C. p. received definite word
i on Saturday last, to the effect
that JAMES WELDON JOHNSON,
nationally known as the Fighting
Secretary" of the N. A. A. G. P.
would be in Denver August II and
would spend eight or ten days re-
cuperating in Colorado's delightful
climate. Mrs. Johnson, herself a
woman of distinct talents and ability
will accompany her distinguished
husband on the trip. This is well
come bit of news and Denver should
begin now its preparations to give
JAMES WELDON JOHNSON the
most generous greeting and reception
ever accorded a leader of our group
in the history of Denver. He de-
serves it and more. He is today the
one big outstanding character in all
that the Negro hopes for and is striv.
ing to attain. He has sacrificed, not
only time and money, but his health
and strength for a cause he believed
to be Just. He has spent sleepless
nights and tireless days in our be-
half. For a brief period in August
this great man is to be our guest.
What then of our part? The West
has a hospitality peculiarly its own,
and Denver especially so. Let that
hospitality be on display every min.
ute of the time that Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnson are within the borders of
our state. We want the Denver
hearts and Denver homes opened as
never before. Naturally Mr.. Johnson
will be under the auspices and direct
management of the Denver Branch.
But he belongs to all of us and The
COLORADO STATESMAN will urge
that every Denver organization or so,
ciety do its part to make the occa.
sion what 1t should be.
