At Los Angeles and Frisco Will Be Battles Today. Ketchel and I'apke at Former Moran-Attell at Latter. FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS. Nelson and Joe Gans Will Con test on Wednesday. Jeff to llferee Papke Bout, Rendering Decision. San Francisco, Sept. 7. Today, Labor day, two boxing championships will be decided in California among four men who are acknoweldged heads of their classes. At San Francisco Abe Attell and Owen Moran, the English boxer, will fight for the featherweight title and at Los Angeles Stanley Ketchel, the middleweight champion will meet Billy Papke. Both fights will begin about 3 p. m.. Pacific time, the limit of the Attell-Moran battle being 23 rounds and the Ketchel-Papke 25 rounds. Two days later Battling Nelson and Joe Gans will meet in San Francisco and for the third time box for the light weight championship. There has been no difficulty in de termining the choices of the public in these fights. From the very moment speculation on the result began the fa vorite combination hae been Attell, Ketchel and Nelson. Attell is strong ly fancied over the Englishman, the odds standing today at 10 to 7, with a tendency to lengthen. Ketchel Is almost as prohibitive fa vorite over Papke, odds standing 4 to 1. while 10 to 7 represents the extent of the public's confidence in Nelson to beat Gans. To those who measure the chances of a pugilist by past performances, it is rather surprising to see Attell such a favorite over Moran. When these two boxers met In this city a year ago, Morax gave Attell the battle ot his life, although he was supposed to have had to do hard training work up to the last hour in order to make the weight. Botn of these little men have just finished a long and strenuous perld of training and are declared to be in the very best condition to fight for a world's cham pionship. This fight will take place in Coffroths open air arena at Colma, and as today is a holiday a big at tendance Is looked for. Pictures of the contest will be taken. Ketciel-Pake Bout Los Angles, Sept. 7. Both Stanley Ketchel and Billy Papke are down to weight 158 pounds, for their 25 round fight to take place at Vernon this af ternoon.

Place on the Coast This Week. TOOK BOTH GAMES First Contest Was an Extra In ning Affair. Selby and Young Brennan n gage in PJtclier's Battle. SECOND WAS EASY ONE. Loeals Seenre Three Runs in One Inning Off Meredith. EUis Muff of an Easy Fly Re sponsible for Two Buns. The Topeka Cooleysox celebrated their home coming by taking both ends or a double header from the "rejuvena ted Springfield team, at Association park Sunday afternoon. The first game was fought for ten long Innings, the locals finally bringing home the palm by a score of 2 to 1. The second game, which was limited to seven innings. was a one-sided affair. Springfield tafr ing the small end of a 3 to 0 score. There wasn't so much to the second game but the first, colloquially speak ing was a pippin.' It was so close that aayugnt could hardly be discerned be tween the playing of the two teams, and it took an extra lnniner to decide. Selby was working for the locals and he pitched his usual steady game. Ev ery added appearance of Selby on the local slab confirms the fans In their be lief that Selby is really as good a right hander as there Is In the Association. Since joining the Topeka team Selby's record is far ahead of those of Scott, Shaner or any ot the league's highly reputed righthanders. Pitted against Selby was a youngster, Brennan, who broke into the game this season with the tailend lola team of the O. K. league. He has been with the Midgets but about eight weeks and in that time has been written up by the dopists of the circuit as one of the real stars of the league. And he is a good pitcher. He Is a southpaw with good curves and more speed than is commou with the sidewheelers of this circuit. He hasn't made any great rec ord for this season but watch out for next t ear. Selby put himself in a bad hole at the outset of the game, when he walked Tommy Smith. Wilson's infield out sent Smith to second from where he scored on Gray's single to right cen ter. The Midgets kept the lead until the fifth inning when the score was tied up. With one down E. Olson doubled and scored on Selby's single. Selby hit to Brennan but the ball was too hot to handle and was deflected beyond the reach of the infield. The Midgets' put in a strong bid for the game in the eighth Inning, but couldn't quite convert their chances in to a run. Tonneman went to first when he insisted that a pitched ball hit his arm wnen everyone in the grandstand thought the ball hit his bat. Brennan laid down a bunt which Selby turn bled and Smith walked, filling the bases with not a man down. Wilson fanned and Gray lifted one to Davis. Red threw to the plate but it was a mis erable throw and Tonneman beat the throw, but Umpire Alberts ruled that he left third too prematurely and call ed him out when Andrews took the throw standing on Jhird. In the tenth' Abbett led off with a single, a high .me which Wilson couldn't quite reach, li Olson singled and S. Olson produced a sacrifice. Selby hit in front of the plate and while Tonneman was throwing him out to Grady Abbott scored, with the winning run. The game was a comparatively peace ful affair. Umpire Alberts getting along pretty well with the crowds. Dalrym ple objected to his calling Tonneman out at third in the eighth, and so vig orous were his denunciations of the de cision that he was ejected from the game. The bright feature of the game was the work of E. Olson with the stick. Two doubles and a single were his plunder off Brennan in four trips to the ylate. In the second game the locals won out by taking advantage of the stupid playing done by the Midgets ana Dy bunching hits at the expense of "King Elmer" Meredith. Outside the third Inning Meredith pitched a good game. Hendrix started the game for the lo cals and was touched up hard during the three innings in which he worked. Five singles were secured In this time and Hagerman was brought in to avert a possible calamity. Rip was In great form and did not allow a single hit during his four Innings of work. With one down in the third Brennan lifted one to short right field over which Wilson and Gray arbitrated un til it fell in front of both and then rolled away sufficiently to let Eddie annex second. Kahl took Hendrlx's turn at bat and drew four wide ones. Cole hit to center field but Brennan was caught at the plate on a nice throw by Dalrymple, but It waa a mighty close decision, w ooiey singieo and scored Kahl with the first run of the game. Davis walked. Andrews lifted a high and easy one to fillis which ought to have retired the aide, but Ellis dropped it and Cole and Wooley scored. The feature of the game was the catch of a hard one from Dalrymple's willow in the fourth. It sure looked like a hit and Cole had to roll over a few times after getting the ball in his mit.

CAPACITY IS TAXED. More Trains Would Be Il quired for Further Increase Other Items of Interest in Rail way Circles. The Union Pacific reports that It I V ow doing the largest passeneer busi ness of its history. Every class of busi ness is Rood, but the passenger busi ness exceeds everything in that line. This statement was given out by a prominent authority yesterday after non in an interview. The large amount of business can not be accounted for by any one thing. As every other kind of business is good it Is reasonable to expect that the passen ger business will also be good. The situation is due in a way. says the railroad man. to the excellent con dition of the farmers over the state. The corn crop is largely responsible for It and the situation is not believed to be of a come and go nature, but seems to have come to stay. Local travel was never known to be better, but it is the through travel which makes the big earnings for th 5 company. That is, the travel from the eastern to western points. The branch lines have to depend upon local travel alone and the Lin coln branch especially is doing a large business. Extra coaches are being carried on that line, as well as on th-3 main line. Up until a few weeks ago extra coaches were put on the east bound trains at Salina and taken off from the westbound trains. but now these coaches are changed and are left at Ellis.

XEH) MOKE KQUPMEST lint Railroads Said to Have Sonic Dllluulty Getting Funds. New York. Sept. 7. The president of a reasonably prosperous railroad visited a down town banking firm a few days ago and asked what they could do relative to floating a $2, 500,000 bond issue. "What do you want to do with that money," he was asked. "We need cars, locomotives, rails, ties, bridges, stations and we have a lot of new sidings, some second track and additional shop facilities to build." "Are you earning enough to justify an increase in fixed charges at pres ent rates?" "I think so, but if you will buy my bonds, I'll wake up some people along my line and increase our busi ness. You see this money will prac tically be spent in towns and cities on our line. It will give employment to practically every idle man who wants to work. We will need carpenters, machinists and other skilled labor and the common laborer will have plenty of work. The wages they will get, they will spend in the stores along the railroad. The farmers will have a broader and better market for their products and the merchants will clear their shelves and buy new goods and everybody will wake up." "You are right." said the banker, "when the railroads resume buying, business will again be normal. But railroad securities are not very high class, just now. and I don't believe we can float your bonds." NEW SOUTHWEST LINE. Will Run From Woodward. Okla., to Watonga, 220 Miles. Guthrie.

The Oregon River Navigation company directors met in annual session yesterday for the purpose of electing a new set of directors for the coming year, but ad journed for one week.. This was done primarily to give Mr. Harriman a chance to be present. The members of the board also thought it was only courteous toward Mr. Harriman to postpone the meeting, inasmuch as he owns all but about 15 shares, and has been so busy that he has been unable to attend a meeting in the history of the road, since its organization in 1S96. It is said President Harriman may preside at the meeting. A PURSE FOR MIKE MURPHY. The Olympic Committee Would Honor the Noted Trainer. New York. Sept. 7. The American committee of the Olympic games has. started a subscription list to raise funds to properly honor Mike Murphy, the famous trainer, who handled the team in the London stadium. James E. Sullivan, secretary of the committee has sent out the following letteV: "While giving the fullest credit to the athletes who represented the Unit ed States in the recent Olympic games, there Is one person whose services were practically invaluable and with out whose interest and knowledge it is doubtful whether the men would have performed so splendidly as events; proved. He is Trainer Murphy, who devoted his best energies, in the face of numerous difficulties, to have the team in shape. "Mr. Murphy cheerfully gave up his time and devoted his energies for months to the care of the athletes and how well he performed his duty is a matter of record. Now let us not be so unpatriotic as to forget his good work. Instead, let those who recog nize the man's true worth come for ward and assist those who are anxious to make Mr. Murphy a suitable pre sentation. "It has been proposed that we ask one thousand citizens who are inter ested in track and field athletics to contribute $5 apiece to this fund to be presented to Mr. Murphy as a token of esteem and as a mark of recogni tion of his valuable services."

CARRIED HIDDEN GUN. Had Sixty or More Cartridges Stowed Away in Pockets. A DiTorce Decree Seemed the Cause of His Wrath. Kansas City, Kan., Sept. 7. Carrying a 38-ca liber revolver tinder his negligee shirt Jesse G. Dixon, a bollermaker. walked along Minnesota avenue in Kansas City, Kan., Saturday afternoon threatening the life of Judge McCabe Moore of the Wyandotte county court. An hour earlier he had confronted the judge in front of the Owl drug store near Ninth and Main streets in Kansas City, Mo., and demanded that he set aside a decree for divorce that was granted Mrs. Dixon two years ago. At 4:30 o'clock Dixon was found hiding in the entrance to the Home State bank at Sixth street and Minnesota avenue and was arrested by Robert McKilten. a police officer. He was placed in Jail in Kansas City. Kan. For many months Judge Moore has been a victim of threats by Dixon who, apparently, believed that the decision in the divorce case was a great injus tice to him. The custody of the two children had been awarded to Mrs. Dixon. For several months Dixon annoyed and frightened his divorced wife by visiting her home and making threats. Finally Mrs. Dixon appealed to the court for protection by injunction. Several nights later she was awaken ed by something striking the side of the house. Next morning she found a stick of dynamite in the yard. Four weeks ago Mrs. Dixon and her chil dren left the city. Dixon then wrote a letter to Judge Moore in which he declared that unless the decree of divorce were set aside he would take the law Into his own hands and deal with both Judge Moore and Judge L. C. True. Mrs. Dixon's attor ney. The threatening letter was fol lowed by a postcard still more threat ening in tone. Then Dixon talked. to Judge Moore over the telephone Friday, saying he intended to pay the judge c. visit. This caused Judge Moore to place a bench warrant for the arrest of Dixon in the hands of-the police in Kansas City, Kan. When Dixon confronted Judge Moore at Ninth and Main streets he was ob viously excited and insisted that the judge alter the decree. "I have ao use for courts and lawyers all about it, find, out NOW. her grand sensational tour of the She is distributing One Dollar Bills SOUL! they have robbed me," Dixon de clared, and he added, "Now, I'll take the law into my own hands." An hour afterward Judge L. C. True saw Dixon in the office of L. W. Kep linger on Minnesota avenue. Kansas City, Kan. He spoke to Dixon, and the two walked down stairs. On tho street Dixon remarked to Judge True: "I'm going to get Judge Moore." After they parted Judge True notified the sheriffs office and also the police. Robert McKibben. a police officer, was making his rounds at Sixth street and Minnesota avenue when he noticed Dixon in the entrance of the Home State bank. "The chief wants to see you," the po liceman said as he placed his hand on Dixon's shoulder. "Well, come up to the court house with me first. I want to see Judge More," Dixon replied. "No you must come with me," said the policeman. At the station Dixon refused to talk to Sergeant Samuel Harrison. Later he told D. E. Bowden, the chief of police, he did not intend to harm Judge Moore. When searched a revolver was found hidden in the bosom of his shirt. Sixty cartridges were taken from his pockets. He wa-s placed in a cell in the Wyandotte county jail. WANTED AVINTER COAL. A Russian Beet Worker at I .a kin At tempted to Wreck a Freight. Garden City. Kan.. Sept. 7.

Kan., Sept. T. The Fourteen-year-old son of Mrs. Hendricks of 412 West Park avenue, cut his throat -with a razor Saturday after noon in an attempt to take his life. He made a terrible gash in his throat, but on account of the razor being dull missed the jugular vein. "I am sorry that the razor was not sharper" was the rematk of the boy when told by the surgeon that the self-inflicted wouiiu would not prove fatal. The wound was made in a fit of passion. Mrs. Hendiioks. was not at home at the time and only the boy and his brother were about the house and he got mad at something said by his brother and grabbed Tip a razor and drew the edge of the instrument around his neck as nearly as could from ear to ear.

ARE DIPPING THE! It CATTLE. Farmers Near Lawrence Trying to Drive Out Scab Itch. Lawrence, Kan., Sept. 7. Deputy Sheriff Roy Woodward came In from the Clearfield district, where he has been helping dip cattle all week in an effort to stamp out an epidemic of scab itch, which has attacked the live stock in that part of the county. Dur ing the week more than 1.500 head of horses and cattle were put through the tanks, and 2,000 head of live stock are yet to be washed in the disinfect ant. The tank has been placed on the Selzer farm, which is centrally lo cated and all the farmers living near have driven their cattle to it and put them through the dip. The tank Is a large one and more than 800 head have been handled in a day. Fourteen farmers joined together to buy this dipping apparatus at a cost of about $400.

Tim Btate Journal la a member of the Aasocldted Press nd recelvea the fuI3 day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclUJfve afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received in The State Jrmr Mal building over wires for this sole pur-poee. Recollect! The Ptatc wide fair opened Its gates here today. It's a tianner exposition and Is worthy of the patronage of all people. Something decidedly out of the ordt nary has happened In Old Mexico. A recent government survey revealed the existence of 7.679 towns hitherto unknown to the authorities. Three hails and an extra greeting to the Ideal weather which has been prevalent for the past few days. It's boon a long time in coming around and that makes It all the more wel come. "Trickery in the party Is as re pugnant to a high party Ideal as fraud In government Is repugnant to a high governmental Ideal." writes Mr. Bryan In The Circle regarding "The Square Peal in Politics." He might well have added that it's harder to weed out. Once in a while It's possible to agree with the editorial statements In Mr. Hearst's newspapers. This Is true of a recent remark In one of them, the New York American, to the effect that overcapitalization is legal ized piracy. And that's just what It Is. Most people will be inclined to stop and think a minute or two over the fact recently stated by Mr. Bryan that for every dollar this country is spend ing for the development of its vast agricultural interests, which are really in their Infancy, it is spending J 25 on the army and navy in their develop ment for possible wars that the coun try never ought to have. Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee, evi dently thinks that the Job of landing votes in the eastfor Mr. Bryan is a big one. He has turned over the task to a special committee of twenty-one eastern Democrats. But the peculiar part of this Is that many of these twenty-one are men who in the past have shown little sympathy for Mr. Bryan and his policies. In their num ber also are several men who are prominently affiliated with Wall street and its doings. "Shall the people rule?" asks Mr. Bryan from time to time. "The peo ple have ruled," Bays Mr. Taft and now Mr. Hisgen. Mr. Hearst's candi date for president, adds his voice to the fray by declaring; "the people shall rule," in the event of his elec tion, of course. But the people by this time are probably convinced of the fact that the only thing they can do Is to vote. They may have hopes of ruling through their votes, but these hope are among; the fond ones that art ever going astray. It appears to be the opinion of several of the members of the special educational committee appointed by Governor Hoch for the purpose of bringing about better relations among the three state educational Institutions that all of them should be placed un der the direction of one board. This plan has been tried with wonderful success by other states, notably In tne east and particularly in New Tork where a state board of regents elected by the legislature has supervision over all the public educational institutions In the state and to a certain degree1 oyer the conduct of the private educa tional institutions. William Randolph Hearst will un doubtedly waste his time if he does any spellbinding on an extensive scale in Kansas, as it is reported that he Is likely to do. Surely he does not hope to carry this state for his Independ ence party. Kansans are as independ ent and probably more so than the people of other states but they cannot figure how their independence could be conserved in any way by helping to elevate to power a one man party such as Is Mr. Heart' political plaything. Of course the Kansans, who get the chance will be pleased with an oppor tunity to see and hear Mr. Hearst. They always find great glee in taking fn the sideshows of every circus that comes along. And that's what the Inde pendence party is to the present na tional campaign. The old cry about the effeminization of boys by women teachers has been raised again, this time by George W. Ehler, late athletlo director of Cleve land's public schools. Mr. Ehler made the charge against the women teachers on the occasion of his resignation from this post. The schools, he declared, were not turning out manly lads. They lacked the qualities a man would teach by example. In games they showed no sportsmen's honor. They merely want ed to win. They were quitters and tale- bearers and their characters were neg ative, not positive. Mr. Ehler is en titled to his opinions, "no doubt, but such authorities as Dr. Luther H. Gulick, physical director of the public schools of New York, disagree with him most emphatically. And so will people hereabouts for the boys in the local public schools seem quite as manly as boys have ever been wont to be. A HUMAX TUGBOAT. The prize athlete of the New York police department distinguished him self not long ago by swimming Hell gate towing by a rope attached to his shoulders, two row boats containing nine persons. The dead weight rep resented Is estimated at 2,000 pounds, and this was a dead weight until the swimmer had given to it a momentum. The force which he exerted to start the boats is shown by the fact that the rope about his shoulders wore through his jersey a red bruise on his skin. The performance did not, how ever, leave him especially exhausted. Contrast with this expert swimmer, thinking little of towing 2.000 pounds across a swift current, the average person who cannot save his own life if cast into the water. Contrast the com plete at-homeness of the swimmer with the utter helplessness of the person who has never learned what he might do in the water. It is a contrast that needs to be emphasized. The human animal was not Intended to be a tugboat, but there is excellent evidence that he was Intended to take care of himself in the water, just as other animals do. The human sinks because of his inherent fear of the water. His mind, operating in fear, tells him that he will sink, and he does sink. The child too young to reason, and consequently too young to know fear, will fare better than the adult, will make some instinctive mo tion like swimming, and might even keep afloat for a time. Floating is the easiest of all water accomplishments and swimming is the next. Either is the next thing to breathing, except for that fear which keeps the numan from exercising his natural powers. It would seem that the demonstration of the difficult things which a trained swimmer can do in the water might have a desirable effect in teaching any person the ease and desirability of learning at least the rudiments of watercraft. It is a simple lesson whose lack annually destroys lives by the thousand. WORTH THE READING. In a recent issue of The Market Growers' Journal Is this article which deals with a subject of wide and gen eral importance to all the people. "It is well known that there is di rect relation between bird life and ag riculture. Birds destroy insects, grubs, worms and other things inju rious to crops, and thus maintain a balance In nature's forces. Not all worms or grubs are harmful and all birds do not eat the same thing, so that with intelligence, men may know his bird friends. These should be giv en protectio.n. "Some birds eat weeds and per form other service, which makes them of value to the farmer. r Indiscriminate slaughter of birds does injury to those who must live from the fruits of the soil, and our laws for protection of bird life should be well enforced. This cannot be done unless farmers will themselves take interest in enforcement of the laws. "The first step should be to learn what birds are useful and to teach others. Every boy should know his friends, from the birds which are of no service, wnen ooys are not taugni this they are little to blame that they do not make selection when they wish to shoot. It will be better to instruct boys in birds lore than to punish them for doing injury, when they do not know that they are doing injury. "The farmer should see that his sons, and the sons of his neighbors, know the birds of his country. With this knowledge it will be easier to pro tect birds. To tell a boy not to shoot birds, without telling him why he is not to do so, makes the command of less effect." There are two points in this article which are of special importance, es pecially to farmers, gardeners and horticulturists. The first Is the neces sity of knowing what birds are help ful, and what are hurtful, and the sec ond Is that the boys should be taught the wrong of Indiscriminate bird slaughter, even In the "o,pen season." The list of the useful and helpful birds should be published in the newspapers occasionally, so that the farmer may know which are his friends, and it would also be a good plan for this knowledge to be taught in the public schools of the country, so that the growing youth may know what birds he may kill without Injury to plant life. It Is no longer a matter of theory or speculation that the vast increase of injurious insect life during recent years Is due to the thinning out of the various species of birds which are wholly or partially insectivorous in their nature and habits. It is no long er an academic question, but a real and vital one. It is strictly In accord ance with the laws of nature thut in sects of all kinds multiply rapidly, and the natural consequence Is tnat certain varieties will soon become a pest if not kept down. It is becoming equally plain that mere human effort can not keep them from multiplying. During recent years the boll-weevil and sev eral other kinds of insects have be come an actual and dangerous pest, so destructive In thefr numbers and hab its that they have come to be a se rious and vital problem to crop rais er The same may be said of mos quitoes, flies and other members of the great Insect family which afflict man kind, and some of which are now known to be disease carries beyond a doabt. Man can not suppress and obliterate these pests by his owa efforts, but the birds can and will do It it given chance. Insects would not have ln- creased to such an extent if bird de struction had not been so ruthless and indiscriminate in the past. Now that the evil has been done the only course is to remedy it as far as pos sible. This can not be done thorough ly by even the most drastic of game laws, unless the people generally are, made to understand why these laws are enacted and why their enforcement is good for the great majority. If the farming people understood this prop erly, and if the parents and schools would teach It to the rislnT generation the good that would come of it would be incalculable. JOURNAL ENTRIES What's the use of this incessant bowing to folks who know you know them? It's well not to believe in all signs and especially those worn by beggars. Some lads stand at the head of their class in school only when other boys stay at home. In golf it's proper to address the ball but frequently it's done tn lan guage unfit for publication. A contented disposition is not much of a qualification for a man who would succeed in any business. Why not let Emporia take out chip in the Central Kansas league? Em poria is still hunting trouble, is the gracious invitation from the Salina Journal. Roving gypsies struck Norton the other day and the local paper says that they didn't seem to look very prosper ous and happy. Who ever saw a gypsy that did? A playful smelter employe at Neode sha poured some water on his sleeping comrades. He spent the next half hour running and dodging the bullets sent after him. The philosopher of the Erie Record has noted that whether or not you like your community depends a good deal on the kind of time your community is giving you. The lumber dealers of Salina are so fully agreed that this is going to De a great fall for building on the farm, that it amounts almost to a "consen sus of opinion." The total tax levy for the city of Ot tawa this year is about one-fifth that of last year, on a flat increase of but four times the last year's property figures. The new tax law, observes the Herald, has not only multiplied; it has sprouted and grown. The sun never sets on Kansas corn; and that's a prouder boast than Eng land's claim that Old Sol never ceases to shine on her flag.

That Ellsworth county man on whose farm the much-talked of meteor struck, is now saying things about his neighbors and incidentally blaming his entire family for their lack of fore thought. It did not strike the farmer that the meteor was valuable so he did not try to keep it. Everybody within a radius of fifty miles hitched up, put a hammer in the buggy and drove to the farm where they proceeded to chip off pieces of the wonderful boulder. After the last bit of the meteor was gone, the farmer began to receive fabulous offers for it. He allowed at least $10,000 to be carried away by the curious people. For years to come boys at Ellsworth will be offering pieces of the meteor for sale. Wichita Eagle. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe..'.' It is foolish to talk of what a, man Bhould do when we all know what he will do. When a man has his shoes shined while being shaved, they say that is a sign of an aristocrat. A twenty dollar gold piece will buy a man better care in sickness than twenty friends will give him. Parents are often accused of "spoil ing their children" when they do all they can to keep them from being spoilt. A friend is a man who comes to see you so often when you are at work that your employer finally gets mad and fires you. At a wedding where neither party has been married before. It is quite proper to refer to It as "an amateur entertainment. Every task you neglect when you go on a vacation, will meet you at the depot with all its relatives and friends when you come back.

While certain things may be demanded from the government and others may reason ably be expected, certainly not one of latter Is tJie regute.r delivery of mall over reads where travel for the car rier is exceedingly difficult if not al most impossible. The pay of the rural carrier is fairly good, but not so large as to compensate him for pulling his norses to death. Except when the weather is good, the roads In Kansas are in a miserable condition, as everybody knows, and the postoffice department la entirely justified in calling our attention to it. Numerous states now are making generous appropriations for the improvements or their highways. Kansas is doing nothing. And yet the valuations on personal and real property made this year show this to be one of the most comfortably fixed states In the Union It is time that we were giving some serious attention1 tfr this matter, not only ror tne purpose or Insuring a con tinuance of the rural free delivery service But ror the variety of other comforts and benefits that are to be derived from good Toads. Leaven worth Times. BABIES AND POLITICS. The babies aren't consulted. They can't help themselves. Someone ought to write a book oh. 'babies' rights and make it clear that it is taking advan tage of someone smaller than yourself to put a baby up somewhere as an ex hibit at a political picnic. Baby shows, per se," are not deplorable. But it is too bad to put the babies up to be passed upon, patted nay- sometimes even kissed by candidates. A congressman comes up to make a speech, and just as likely as not he will be called upon to judge the rela tive merits of a variously unhappy bunch of Infant Americans. Perhaps when the distinguished guest come along the really prettiest baby may be squalling, and thus the prize may go to the wrong place, for no one will award a prize to a squaller. And, any way. Is a candidate or a congressman necessarily an expert on babies? For a bench show of this kind it would seem that other Judges might serve more appropriately. It's cruelty to candi dates to make them serve. Cleve land Plain Dealer. ENCOURAGE TIMBER GROWING. The state forestry department of Pennsylvania has. a plan which It thinks will greatly encourage the grow ing of timber in that state. It involves the establishment of what are termed auxiliary forest reserves. Its principal features are described as follows: Whenever the owners of woodlands will agree to turn over timber lands to the control of the forestry department that department shall designate such lands as auxiliary forest reserves. For a period of 10 years no timber on such lands may be cut, and during that time no such lands shall be assessed for taxation at a valuation exceeding 1 per acre. This is a plan which apparently might work well and without any particular expense to either party. The state would simply take over the control of the property with its incidental protec tion ana the owner would be relieved of practically all taxes. At the end of 10 years It would-be returned to him with the added value resulting from 10 years of undisturbed growth of timber. Buffalo Express. PRIDE OF CITIES. Baltimore is a "square-deal town." The American, newspaper, of that city says so. It has discovered a southern merchant who now buys all his goods there in preference to deal ing with the "bigger and badder"! towns of Philadelphia and New York. He finds better and cheaper goods in Baltimore, he Is "treated squarely," and he is safe from robbery. He finds the police force of Baltimore efBicient. We Infer that he te robbed when he visits New York. He does well, then, to stick to Baltimore. Of course ev erybody in New York knows of the de cency and enterprise of Baltimore, and is glad to have fresh evidence of its prosperity. Houston, in Texas, is more boastful than Baltimore, rbut. its pride In its location and its growing wealth is quite justified. The Houston Post prophesies that in 1945, when the statehood of Texas will be 100 years old, its population will surpass that of New York. Doubtless the whole south will grow greatly In population and prosperity in the next 37 years. The Panama canal wllf be an old story be fore that period" is finished. Mean while the' pride of the cities of the south, their notable thrift, their In crease of wealth and enterprise is gratfying to the whole country, and especially to New York city. New York Times.

Diseases That Benefit. To be struck down by disease seems a most undesirable thing, yet there are many living today in the fullest enjoy ment of verv excellent health who, but for an attack of some disease, would have lived a life of almost perpetual misery. These people were, first of all vic tims or indigestion in its worst form, and only those who have experienced it know what true indigestion Is. Struck aown Dy typnoia fever, they oame through the trying ordeal cured of in digestion, for one outstanding eccen tricity of typhoid is that if you pass through an attack safely it gives you a new stomach. In fact, after an at tack of typhoid the victim is usually leit witn a stomach like an Infant's. That is the grand chance offered to one who has suffered, it may be, for long years from acute Indigestion; if if only he takes care, after an attack or typhoid, he need never know indi gestion again. Be it remembered that any one trou bled with severe indigestion is not ad vised to go hunting around for typhoid lever. That might prove to be a die astrous course to follow. A chronic cold is Just one of those things which we none of us want, yet even a chronic cold has its good points, more especially if you happen to be up In years a bit not too old, of course. People who are up in years, and who suffer from chronic bronchitis, seem to get along remarkably well. It keeps the blood in good circulation, for, of course, the victims have to cough, ana that gives the heart a jerk and sends the blood coursing nicely through the veins and arteries. If the cold be not too acute, old peo ple derive considerable benefit. An acute attack, on the other hand, may cut off an old person in a day or two. It is the chronic type only which yields benefit. Smallpox in a dreaded scourge; so much so that if it be reported that a case exists In a neghborhood a thrill passes through the whole community. Yet those who suffer from smallpox and recover usually live to a green old age. It seems to renew life in some mysterious way by thoroughly purify ing the blood. Pearson's Weekly. Curious Lighting Methods. Some curiosities of illumination, mostly survivals from past ages, are described in the Illuminating Engineer by L. Lodian.. who desires, he says, to show that, amid all the most lmprov ed and ablest systems of lighting the globe has ever known, the quaint and crude persist almost side by side with the most modern. He goes on to say "Here and there in some of the Sicil ian basements along Manhattan's Mul berry street you see gourd-shaped ob jects containing a small light. They are semi-translucent containers, thus casting a dim light around and below and take the place of night lights. This singular Uluminant is, or was, pure butter; it is the bala-tuiro (ball but ter) of the Italians, but, becoming so rancid as to be unfit for table or kitch en use, is utilized as a light with some bits of string for a wick. The gourd -like container is of pure cheese, which had been worked up in a lukewarm state rapidly about the ice-cold ball of sweet butter, then rapidly cooled, and finished on ice. "Butter may thus be preserved un salted for a long time, and both in terior and exterior are el ways perfect ly edible. But trade 'returns' of stick do, however, contained a percentage of rancifled ones, and it is these which are used as lights. When exhausted, the 'dago' may either refill with mo-e rancid butter or open up another butter balL The cheese-container is never contaminated by the rancid contents, and is finally used up in the soup pot by the thrifty Ligurian, or is ground into powder as a macaroni condiment." The farm houses of central Poland and Hungary, the writer goes on to tell us, often use homemade candles of dingy, greenish-black coal-wax, or crude ozocerite, from the bituminous shales in the region. They dig it up and throw it into boiling water, when the wax rises to the surface. It has an odor of kerosene, and the light 1b more or less smoky, but ozocerite when decolored becomes a pure cream-white product, the cerasin of commerce, from which high-grade candles are made. Many years ago, Mr. Lodian says, a Paris firm tried to market the natural color black coal-wax candles, guaran teed smokeless, but the effort proved a total failure. Literary Digest.

"I'll send you a postcard nnn it's developed," she added. "I'm sorry that I didn't take one of you when you- came. You'd make a great "be fore and after' picture for the hotel advertisements. I declare Agnes won t know you when you get back, vou've grown so stout and handsome." er Dig Brother smiled at the com pliment, and Ethel clicked tne camera again. "That will make a rood advertise. ment for a dentist." she crommnnteH "1 wish I could smile like that." -you could," Insinuated her broth er, "If you were as happy as I am." -jacK to nome and Agnes!" scoffed Ethel. "Here comes vour train. .Tuck I'm sorry you have to go. This little vacacion nas done you a world of gooa. Deane kissed his sister roodbv and swung onto the train, glad to get out ol me press or tne station platform and into the comfortable wicker chair in the Pullman smoker. He was sorry his vacation was over. He had vorlcan hard" for two years and needed the rest, tie was going back to Agnes vveaion, ana a tender smile played about his lips as he drew a tinv lea tri er case from his pocket and glanced at the picture within. It was one or Ethers snap shots, but the girl was clever with the camera and sne had caught more of the personality of her subject than a professional could have done. "It will only be a few days now. lit tle woman," Jack whispered to the pnotograpn. "I'll be In town tomor row, and Sunday week you'll be there too. It's some comfort even to be nearer to you. He slipped the case back in his pocket and reddened as he saw a man across the aisle watching him with an amused smile. The man's lips were puckered, and above the roar and rat tle of the train Jack caught the shrill notes of "The Girl I Left Behind He smiled at the man's mistake, for Ethel's kiss had been most fervent. The stranger, however, could not know that she was only his sister and tnat the train was bringing him nearer to the girl whose photograph was in the caee. There was no formal enrarement between Jack and Agnes Weston, but an understanding existed that wnen his salary was increased there would be an announcement. The raise had come in the shape of promotion while he was on vacation. A letter had told him that on his return he would sit at the superintendent's desk. He wanted to start back at once and tell Agnes of his good fortune, but had sacrificed his vacation last year in his struggle for advancement, ana ne needed the rest. Agnes had gone to visit relatives In a distant resort, and Ethel wisely persuaded him to stay. Now he was on his way to town, and in anotner week Agnes would join him. He could then put the question, to which the answer seemed assurea. It was a trying week. Had it not been that Jack was busy getting the angles of his new position he would have jumped on a train and headed for the west, as no letter haa come from Agnes during the latter part o the week. He telephoned her mother to learn tne time of her expected ar rival. Jack was at the station when the train rolled in. but the greeting chilled him. In place of the sunny smile the girl was coldly formal. She addressed him as "Mr. Deane," and insisted upon going home alone in a cab. Deane was in despair. He could not argue with her in the station, and not until after dinner did he go to the house for an Interview. The explanation was simple in the extreme, Agnes declared that she no longer loved him. That she was glad she had discovered his true character before it was too late. More than that she would not say. After a brief half hour Jack gave up, and left the house to pace the streets and dumbly won der what had happened to make so great a change in his life. Perhaps when Ethel returned sh might be able to find out. It was ob vlous that Jack could offer no explana tion when he was not conscious of hav ing given offense, and it was with leaden feet that he sought his home and tumbled into bed to toss until dawn. Haggard and hollow-eyed he rone for breakfast and mads a pretense of go ing through the meal. He was idly sipping his coffee when the maid hand ed him a thick letter from Ethel. There was the promised postcard With the crowd as a background. There was also another card showing him looking down with a tender smile into the eyes of a girl, whose ardent glance was even more fervid than his own. The girl was an entire stranger to him, and Jack wondered by what trick of photography Ethel had brought about the result. He knew how she delighted in performing the seemingly impossible. He turned to the letter for explanation. "Dear Jack," he read. "Do you re member that I promised to get even with you for playing that Joke on Ben Drummond and me? I guess I've done it. I am inclosing one of the postals I promised. That silly little Bedford girl was smiling right behind you when you smiled that silly smile because I told you how handsome you were. From the angle at which I stood it looked as though you were smiling at her, and she was making moon-eyes at you instead of Dick Odell. Dick is Just oft the edge of the film. I sent one of these to Agnes on Monday, and, un less I am very much mistaken, you did not enjoy your Sunday. Let this be a lesson to you not to play tricks on your affectionate sister. P. S. I am send ing this same explanation to Agnes." In an unlucky moment Jack had ren dered Ethel and her latest adorer ridic ulous. Ethel had sworn to the reveng ed, but Jack had paid little attention to the threats. Now he could under stand what Agnes meant when she sai-1 she knew him for what he really was. He hurried from the house to the tel ephone station and called up Agnes Weston. "This is Jack," he explained over the wire. "Did you get a letter from Ethel?" "I might have known that it was one of Ethel's Jokes," came the response. "And is it all right? May I come around tonight?" "As long as that?" came in tender tones. "Why can't I meet you and have lunch with you at that little place where you take me. There's a jeweler right around the corner." The telephone girl laughed at the fer vent "darling." which was all the an swer Agnes needed. Telephone girls are used to such things, bu. the teleg rapher laughed loudly as he took Jacks message to Ethel from the wire. "Agnes will marry me despite your camera. You can photograph the wed ding, but try to get the proper angle, or you'll have me married to some one else." "I did have the proper angle, ex claimed Ethel to Ben Drummond. "Same here," assented Drummond, as he tilted the piquant face to the proper angle of 45 degrees. "Let's wire him tnat we 11 have a double wedding. Ethel could not be expected to reply with Drammond's lips against hers, but her assent was not necessary. They had arranged all that beforehand. (Copyrighted, 1908. by Associated Liter ary Press.
