East Is Swept by Gale Accom panied by Snow. Two Vessels Blown Ashore on Sandy Hook. WORST SINCE 188S. Pittsburg Is Buried to a Depth of 17 Inches. Greatest Precipitation Ex perienced Since 1890. New York. Feb. 12. What prom ised to be another traffic blocking snow was checked at daybreak today. A turn in conditions at that time brought about a cessation of the fall and left about four Inches of snow in this city and vicinity. Two fishing vessels were victims of the storm's fury. They were blown nshore on Sandy Hook in the early hours and only heroic work on the part of the life savers prevented disas ter to the men on board. From one vessel, the Franklin D. Nelson, eight men were safely landed. The Nelson, it is feared, will prove a total loss. Shortly after the Nelson struck, the schooner Libby was blown hard and fast on the sands of the Hook. She had nine men on board and the life saving crew got them safely to land, after a hard struggle. Dispatches from the northeastern counties of the state report the storm there as being the most severe since 1S88. The fall of the snow has been heavy and the cold is severe. Snow Turned to Rain. Philadelphia. Feb. 12. Snow which be gan falling yesterday afternoon and promised to develop into a blizzard, turned into rain during the night after it had reached a depth of four inches, there was little delay in street car or railway service and interruption of m ire communication. Snow 17 Inches Deep. Pittsburg. Pa.. Feb. 12. Floundering through snow 17 inches deep Pittsburg this morning sought its mills, mines find manufactories, hardly 24 hours af ter the traces of the last snowfall of the winter had disappeared. A 15 hour storm that started at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, crippled trolley lines throughout this section of the country, delayed all through and suburban traffic and made the city streets well nigh impassable. From al most every community in western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and east ern Ohio, reports of suspended traffic jind snow blocked highways came in today. Although the storm let up early -today. Forecaster Henry Penny Witt ot the weather bureau predicted that there was considerable more to come. 1 he precipitation is already the great est since December 17, 1890, when 22 Inches was recorded. Snowing iu Tennessee. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 12. The snowfall measures 10 inches on the level in this section and it is still fall ing. This is the heaviest snowfall here since 1892. The fall is general throughout middle and west Tennes-F'-e, varying in depth from 4 to 10 inches. fold In the West. Kansas City. Mo.. Feb. 12. A de cided fall in temperature was regis tered in western Missouri, northern Kansas and southern Nebraska dur ing the last 2 4 hours. In Kansas City the temperature fell from 30 degrees to 8 degrees above zero. At Concordia, Kan., there was a fall of 20 degrees; in southern Ne braska of 28 degrees and at Scdalia, Mo., a fall of 33 degrees. WRECK OF THE CHANZY. She Crashed Full Speed on the Reefs in Dead of Night. Palma, Feb. 12. Driven helplessly from her course in one of the wildest storms that has swept the Mediterra nean in forty years, the French trans Atlantic Steamship company steam er General Chanzy crashed at full speed in the dead of night on the treacherous reefs near the island of Minorca and all but one of the 157 souls on board perished. The sole survivor is an Algerian customs official, Marcel Rodel, who was rescued by a fisherman, and who lies in the hospital at Ciudadela rav ing as a result of the tortures through which he passed and unable to give an account of the disaster. In the ship's company there were 8 7 passengers of which 30 were in the first cabin. The crew numbered 70. The ship was in command of Cap tain Cayol, one of the most careful officers of the line. In his long ex perience he had never before met with an accident. He had intended to retire from the service in the near future. The passengers of the Chanzy were mostly French officers and offi cials returning to their post In Algeria, accompanied by their families, a few soldiers, some Italians and Turks and one priest. The only Anglo-Saxon names on the passenger list were Green and Stake ly. They wen members of an opera troup of eleve. which had been en paged to sing aOthe Casino in Algeria. The General Chanzy struck at 9 p. m. Thursday night after Captain Cayol had been wnablc to cope with the tempest of almost unprecedented violence. Other ships in the neigh borhood had safely ridden out the storm, but the Chanzy fell prev to the elements, was lifted off her course throue-h the Balearic archipelago and brought on the coast of Minorca in j the vicinity of Ciudadela. f The Chanzy is a total wreck. Steam ers have been dispatched from Spain nnd from points in the Balearic is lands to the scene of the catastrophe. Among the victims was the celebrated Parisian music hall singer, Francis Dufor, as well as bther prominent music hall favorites. It is now be lieved three American vaudeville players from San Francisco were on board the steamer. Their names are Elsie Henry and Messrs. Dronda and Del-.-um. The French consul at Ciudadela reports that large numbers of bodies are floating at sea but that the storm continues making impossible their recovery. The hull of the steamer Is said to bear evidence that an explosion, prob ably of the boilers, occurred. BODIES FLOAT ASHORE. Only Survivor of Gen. Chanzy Wreck Can't Tell How It Happened. Palma, Island of Majorca, Feb. 12. Bodies were floating ashore today from the wreck of the steamer General Chan zy. The authorities posted men along the coast to recover the bodies and also to watch for small boats in a des perate hope that some of those aboard might have escaped. Marcel Rodel, the Algerian customs official and the only known survivor, was still unable today to give a lucid account of the disaster. When the ves sel went down he clung to a piece of wreckage and was washed ashore. When tossed on the rocks he was rendered insensible and in this state remained throughout the night. Re viving in the morning he wandered about aimlessly most of the day, finally stumbling into the village of Cludad ela almost demented. From his rambling story the authori ties first learned of the disaster and rushed help to the nearest land point. They found only a mass of wreckage piled up on the coast. The villagers say that even if the small boats had been launched they could not have lived in the sea. that raged Wednesday night. The Spanish .officials state that a powerful light will be immediately erected on the north of Minorca island in the hope that further wrecks at this dangerous place may be avoided. Owing to the difficulties of communi cation between the villages in. the ab sence of telegraph lines, few addition al details of the wreck reached here today. The route of the Algerian boats is particularly treacherous in bad weath er. The steamers Ville De Rome and the Isaac Pereire were wrecked on the same forbidding coast. The General Chanzy missed the pass between the islands of Minorca and Majorca being either blown out of her course or ren- dered helpless by the breaking down of her engines or the loss of her pro peller. The place where the vessel struck is known as "Llosa." Some reports have it that the steamer broke in two and sank at once after she had struck and others that an explosion occurred. The heavy loss of life is attributed to the probability that during the howl-1 ing tempest all of the passengers and such of the crew as were off duty were below. Other explanations are that the vessel struck with such force that several bulkheads gave way simul taneously and that the ship filled, be fore a single small boat could be low ered. SHE BROKE TO PIECES. Further Details Regarding the Wreck of the General Chanzy. Paris, Feb. 12. Advices received to day by the French Atlantic Steamship company, sjate that the loss of the General Chanzsy from which only one person was saved occurred on Wednes day night, while the vessel was running before a terrible storm in the vicinity of the Balearic islands in the Mediter ranean. When the vessel struck a reef north of the Island of Minorca the shock was terrific and the ship was broken to pieces. Of the vaudeville performers among the passengers Nestor was a French man and the two Strakleys were Bel gians according to the theatrical peo ple. The latter say that the only American performers were Miss Elsie Henry and the team known as Derenda and Green as acrobats. Considering the seaworthiness of the General Chanzsy and the capability of Captain Caoit, shipping people believe that the steamer must have become un manageable through the breaking down of her engines or the loss of her pro peller. The General Chanzsy went ashore near Bergen In 1836, at whicii time she was hauled off by the German corvette Griffen. Another Wreck Reported. Marseilles, France, Feb. 12. It is be lieved today that the only Americans aboard the ill fated French steamer General Chanzsy that went down off the north coast of the Island of Minorca on Wednesday were Miss Elsie Henry, aged 28 years, address unknown; Leon Derenda and possibly Derenda's part-1 ner. a man named Green, though there is doubt wnetner tne latter was ku American or an Englishman. Derenda is said to have come from San Fran cisco, is also said to have a home at Portland, Ore. The three Americans were members of a vaudeville combination bound on a tour of the colonies. Derenda and Green are aescriDea as jugglers an-i acrobats. Among the other performers in the combination were several Eng lishman, including a man named Nestor and the two Strakleys, bar per formers. The Strakleys came from Antwerp but their nationality is not known f-.s passengers from the colonies are not required to state their home country. The most prominent of the artsts was Francis Dufor, a music hall performer who was very popular in Paris. Among the other victims were Second Engineer Lorenezetti who was a sur vivor of the La Bourgogne disaster. At that time he was picked up after hav ing drifted for days in an open boat. Captain Caoit of the General Chanzsy was considered by his employers, the French Trans-Atlantic Steamship com pany, as one of the most experienced and careful of officers. Incoming vessels' officers agree that the weather experienced recently Was the worst in their experiences. News of another wreck was received today. The schooner Mathilda from Dunkirk which left Port De Bouc, France. February 4. for St. Pierre. Miquelon, with a miscel laneous cargo. was wrecked last Wednesday in the same vicinity as was the General Chanzsy. BLEACHED FLOUR CASE. Must Be Tried on Its Merits at Xew Orleans. New Orleans. February 12. Judge Foster in the United States district court today decided that the so-called "bleached flour case," the hearing of the petition of the government against the Aetna Milling company of Kansas should be tried on its merits in this court and not at Council Bluffs, la. Many modern milling methods are. in volved. Weather Indications. Chicago, Feb. 12. Forecast for Kansas: Fa:r tonight and Sunday. IT'S NOT A TRUST. Judge Dana Upholds Eldredge Bating Bureau. Insurance Companies May Adopt the Uniform Bates. CASE HARD FOUGHT. Attorney General Charged Vio lations of Farrelley Act. Anti-Trust Law Not Repealed by Insurance Act. Judge Dana in the Shawne district court handed down a decision today finding that the 72 fire insurance com panies sought to be enjoined from busi ness in Kansas for violation of the anti-trust law by Attorney General Jackson, are not in a combination or trust by their use of the rates furnish ed by the Eldridge bureau. In announcing his decision Judge Dana outlined the case into three ques tions to be answered. First Was the question whether the Kansas insurance law of 1909 repealed the old Farrelley anti-trust reepaled the old Farrelley anti-trust law as contended by the companies' counsel. "I do not think the conten tion well taken," said the Judge. In the opening of the injunction suit, which had been filed so long ago as 1907, on December 22 last, the com panies immediately raised the objec tion that the creation of the insurance commissioner's office and his dictation of rates, virtually threw them into a trust in obeying his orders, and furth- e-rmore that the law compelling them to file with him their rates for insurance virtually repealed the old anti-trust law which prohibited them from fixing mutual rates. Second Was the question whether the suit was res adjudlcata because of a former suit against the same de fendant companies in 1903 by Galen Nichols, Shawnee county attorney, on the same grounds resulting in a judg ment for the companies by Judge Ha zen. "In regard to the judgment here tofore rendered in Shawnee county in the suit brought by the county attorney wherein these same companies were the defendants, and the contention that that judgment constitutes res adjudlcata, I do not think the point well taken," con tinued Judge Dana. "That was largely a matter for Shawnee county and does not apply properly to the principle now involved. Third "Does the evidence in the case show a combination existing among the companies? The court Is of the opinion that it does not. Judg ment, therefore will hold for the de fendents in the case." Battle Hard Fought. The suit was long and hard fought for the state and conducted personally by Attorney General Jackson. A host of legal talent opposed him. The evi dence of the state was based entirely upon the use of the Eldridge rates by the insurance companies. These rates according to the testimony of the de fense are compiled by expert inspec tors under Charles E. Eldridge, whose offices are in the Shawnee Fire build ing. It was the stand of the companies that these carefully compiled rates were published in booklets and circulars from time to time and issued to the companies who subscribed for them as for any other paper or magazine. The company agents over the state on the startd denied that they had any orders to observe the Eldridge rate j without deviation, and denied that there was any agreement whatsoever between companies or agents that they should stick to the uniform rate. The rates were used, they insisted, merely as the most accurate computation of the risks lnvo'ved that were obtainable and hence the only safe rates to use. It was the custom of Eldridge to send the companies at intervals, the findings of his inspectors in va rious localities concerning the water KVRtem and fire protection afforded I tj, condition of electric wiring, and such material matters in nre insur ance. Often rates for localities were changed either up or down upon this information. Tn renlv to the allegation of the state that there was no competition .ha.-V(,P among the companies sev j eraj witnesses testified that they had SHE CAN ONLY cut the Eldridge rates in localities where competition was great and ,that there had been plenty of com petition in spite or those rates until the law of 1909 was passed. The companies, on the other hand, charged that the filing of their rates with the new Insurance commissioner obliterated competition by compelling them to stick fast to the rate as an nounced. In this connection agents expressed a concern to know how it would be possible to start competi tion again under the present law. Contentions of the State. The attorney general made his case on violation of the Farrelley anti trust law threefold: First An agreement between th insurance companies to use the Eld ridge rates as an uniform basis to control the rates of insurance. Second If not an agreement, at least an arrangement by which all companies refer to the Eldridge rates as their basis and which amounts to the same thing. Third Companies enter Into an arrangement or a course of conduct for the purpose of accomplishing le--gal purposes under certain conditions by which legally trade is restrained and prices are controlled. The rule in that case is that the restraint be comes unreasonable even though the contract is legal and then becomes Il legal. Mr. Jackson then led up to the present case through the history of the rate making for the companies from the time when a committee of twelve met in Chicago and fixed a uniform rate. Then trust laws be gan to Interfere with the uniform rate and the union of insurance com panies, who agreed to use a certain rate, was effected. Then Clarkson, one of the original twelve rate fixers, started the Clarkson bureau to sup ply this rate to be agreed upon and the "minimum tariff" became fa mous. But the trust laws were aimed at the uniform rate and began to hunt around the Clarkson camp. In Kansas there were conferences with Governor Stanley, a reduction of rates and the establishment of the new rate bureau. Upon the apparent adoption of the rates of this new Eldridge bureau, which he contended were the same old basis rates, Mr. Jackson relied. Judge Dana, however, holds that the evidence Is not convincing. ordereFhim OUT. Sultan of Morocco Drives French Con sul From Falace. Tangier, Morocco, Feb. 12. A courier who arrived today from Fez reports that Sultan Mulal Hafid ordered the French consul who had come to protest against recent acts of the sultan to leave the palace and that the sultan has also treated officials from the French militar- mission offensively. He Would Better Ixx)k Out. Paris. Feb. 12. The French govern ment is preparing to meet the attitude of Sultan Mulai Hafid with energetic measures. The Matin today says If the sultan ooes not accept the arrangement for the Moroccan loan recently concluded here between his commission and For eign Minister Pinchon within a fixed time, the French will not only seize the custom house at Casa Blanca, but vill take other steps. TOOK BROTHER'S PART. Soono Orazio Then Shot Boy He Was Fighting. New York, Feb. 12. Soono Orazio took the part of a big brother so seriously last night that he walked up to Fran cesco de Rossa, 16 years old and shot him through the body as, he stood on the sidewalk among companions. The boy, who will not live, had got the better of a fist fight with Orazio's younger brother earlier in the day. Orazio is under arrest. MRS. BELMONT TO TALK She Will Speak Before Rhode Island Senate Committee. Newport, R. I., Feb. 12. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont and other prominent lead ers of the movement for woman suf frage, will speak before the Rhode Is land senate committee on special leg islation when that body takes up the suffrage bill recently introduced. The hearing will be set for a day when it will be possible for Mrs. Belmont and her lieutenants to be present. PURCHASE FIVE OUT OF THIS FTNE MUST PAY STATE. Surety Company Held Liable for Devlin Bank Loss. Kansas to Be Paid One Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars. TAX LODGE PROPERTY But the "Homes" Are Held Not Taxable. Limited Ouster Against Har vester Trust Ordered. The United States Fidelity and Guaranty company must pay the state of Kansas $139,003.06 as the amount of money which the state lost in the failure of the First Na tional bank, C. J. Devlin's institution and interest for the time the state has not been able to use the money. The supreme court of Kansas today handed down its decision sustaining the district court of Shawnee county, and ordering the company to pay. The decision of .the lower court in the case is upheld by the supreme court. When the First National bank fail ed the state had on deposit J547.- 575.06. T. T. Kelly was state treas urer and made the deposit. After the iauure tne receiver paid out or tne assets a little more than eighty per cent of the total deposits. This left J98, 530.01 due the state. 1 T. T. Kelly gave a bond in the Guaranty and Surety company and the bank had given the state a bond m the united States Fidelity and Guaranty company. As the money was in the bank the state's attorney brought suit on the bank s bond first. The district court held that the bond ing company for the bank was the one responsible for the safety of the money and held that It should pay the state. The supreme court sus tained it and the decision means that the company as surety for T. T. Kel ly need not pay. In the syllabus the court holds: The surety on the bond of the de positary bank will not be heard to say that there was an illegal agreement between the bank and the treasurer that state funds should remain in and be used by the bank for long periods oftfme after collections were made, nor will any improper action of the bank in keeping the accounts of the state or in handling the deposits lessen the liability of the surety. The bond In question, if not in strict compliance with the statute,, has all the elements and binding force of a common law obligation and the bank having by means of the bond secured possession of the; state funds, neither it nor the surety can escape liability for non-performance of the conditions of the bond. The supreme court today rendered three important decisions involving the right of the state to tax lodsre prop erty. It held that the Masonic home at Wichita was exempt from taxation, being a charitable institution, but that the home of the Grand lodge of Ma sons at Eighth and Harrison streets, Topeka. and the home of the Summun dowat lodge of Odd Fellows, at Kan sas City, Kan., were taxable, because they were not used for charitable pur poses. In other words the Masons and Odd Fellows are not charitable insti tutions in themselves, but they may maintain homes which are charitable and not taxable. These decisions were practically the same as printed some days ago. By mistake a stenographer in the supreme court gave them out in advance. Three separate- cases Involving the taxation of the property of the fra ternal societies were submitted to the court at the same time in October. All involved the same propositions and there were no new points raised in eith er case. One was a suit from Sedgwick county, another Shawnee county and a third from Wyandotte county. Two in volved the Masons and one the Odd Fellows. In Sedgwick county Judge Thos. C. Wilson of the district court held that the taxation of the Masons' Orphans' home was legal. The home is used ex clusively as a home for orphans of Ma- (Continued on Page Four.' COLLECTION. BELATED COLD SNAP. Mercury Drops to Seven Degrees This Morning. A belated cold snap, which has been loafing around Devil's Lake, dropped in on Topeka last night. A minimum of 7 above zero was reached this morning. The same kind of weather is promised for the next 24 hours. The coldest February 12 on the To peka record was 22 years ago, when it was 25 below zero. This afternoon the wind Is blowing 10 miles an hour from the northwest. The hourly tem peratures: 7 o'clock 7111 o'clock 16 8 o'clock 712 o'clock 19 9 o'clock 9j 1 o'clock 23 10 o'clock 12 2 o'clock 25 HE ROBBED THE MAILS. Ebeling, Arrested for Missouri Pacific Holdup. Pleads Guilty. St. Louis. Feb. 12. Following his confession that he took part in the robbery of a. Missouri Pacific train near Eureka, Mo., on the night of January 21, George Ebeling pleaded guilty to a charge of robbing the mails. Ebeling was arrested at Hot Springs, Ark., by postoffice inspectors. W. W. Lowe, who is implicated by Ebeling's confession: his brother, James Lowe, and S. W. Emerson were arrested here. The arrests of the four men were kept secret until Ebeling was brought here. The Lowes and Emerson, when ar raigned before United States Commis- j sioner Morsey, pleaded not guilty to a charge of robbing the mails and were ordered held in $20,000 bond each un til next Friday. Ebeling's bond was fixed for the sama amount. j Emerson declared he could prove he was not outside of St. Louis on the night of the robbery. Ebeling, in his confession to Postoffice Inspector Dick son, said James Lowe and Emerson had no part in the holdup and rob bery. The robbery near Eureka, according to Ebeling. netted J700. The Missouri Pacific railway announced the robbers obtained $155. Lowe's Kansas City Record. Kansas City, Feb. 12. W. W Lowe, under arrest in St. Louis, had a part In what probably was Kansas City's most sensational train robbery case. A Missouri Pacific train was held up at Leeds, ten miles east of here, the night of September 23, 1898. The express car was blown up. Lowe; "Andy" Ryan, well known by the police; Jack Kennedy, an alleged train robber known as "Quail Hunter." and Jesse James, jr., son of the notorious bandit, were arrested in connection with the robbery. Lowe, in a signed confes sion, said he. aided by Jesse James, Jr., and Ryan, with the assistance of others, committed the robbery. Lowe told the story in detail. Many influential men In Kansas City rallied to the defense of young James. They said he was being persecuted be cause of his father's record. Attor neys were hired to defend him and the case was fought out at great length. The trial resulted in the acquittal of Jesse James. Lowe, as a reward for his confes sion, was not prosecuted. TELEGRAM FROM TAFT. Read at the Meeting of the Ohio Re publican Committee. Dayton, O., Feb. 12. Added num bers of Republicans of Ohio arrived here for the reorganization of the state executive committee and the amalga mation of the clubs of the state as a preliminary to a vigorous campaign this fall In which national interest will be reflected.

At the opening of the morning meet ing, John Hays Hammond read the following telegram from President Taft: "Please convey to the assembled Re publicans of all leagues and commit tees my personal greetings; my hope that their coming together will result In a renewal of pledges to sustain the principles of the 'grand old party,' and that it will be the beginning of a sub ordination of all differences of opin ion in an effort to win a Republican victory in Ohio and a Republican ma jority in the next house." accusedTfIeresy. Two Universalists WU1 Face a Church Trial at K. C. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 12. Rev. Paul Jordan Smith, minister of the First Universalist church of this city, and Rev. Dr. E. G. Cunningham, sec retary of the Missouri universalist churches, will be tried in this city during the week of February 20, for alleged heresy, the charge against the two ministers, having been filed against them by the general officers of the church. Dr. Cunningham and Mr. smith addressing the convention of the church at Detroit last fall, ad vocated the union of the Universalist and Unitarian churches, it is charged, and also opposed revival services as a means of increasing the membership of the church. These utterances with their alleged liberal 'ideas, regarding the ultimate destiny of man, led to the charge of heresy against them. The board of inquiry to hear the charges will be composed of Dr. W. H. McLaughlin of Chicago, Charles Hutchinson, a Chicago financier and one other man yet to be chosen. Rev. Smith's father is the pastor of a Methodist church In Chatta nooga, Tenn. He was educated at the Congregational seminary in At lanta, Ga., and later attended the Universalist seminary in.- Galesburg, 111. "It is certain that I will never cease to preach the things I believe," Rev. Smith said. Dr. Cunningham, who is now in Little Rock, was formerly a Methodist minister. TO OIL THE SEA. President Taft Will Attempt to Calm the Breakers. Which Have Been Sweeping Over Financial New York. AFTER A CONFERENCE. He Will Make a Speech Before the Republican Club. Gov. Hughes Has Accepted In vitation to Be Present. New York, Feb. 12. President Taft arrived here shortly after 1 p. m., today for an afternoon and even ing of conferences, receptions and speechmaking. The president and his party were taken in an automobile from the 23rd street ferry to the house of the presi dent's brother, Henry W. Taft in West 48th street. With the president were Mrs. Taft, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Mrs. Taft's sister, and Mrs. Torrey, an aunt of the president, to gether with the executive aide, Capt. Archibald Butt, and Assistant Secre tary Mechler. President Taft occupied the great er portion of his time on the trip from Washington in preparing the speech which he is to deliver tonight at the Lincoln day dinner to be given by the Republican club. Following the reception which is to be attended by Governor' Hughes and prominent members of the party in the state and is expected to resolve itself Into a political conference of importance. President Taft will re turn to his brother's home and re main there until the hour of to night's banquet at the Waldorf. Gov ernor Hughes and Governor Fort of New Jersey will be the other speak ers of the evening. Speaker Cannon was invited to attend, but may not be present. The president's address on this oc casion is looked forward to with great interest, because in It he is expected to deal with details of his program for recommended legislation and prob ably express in unmistaxable terms the attitude of his administration toward the financial interests regarding which so many divergent rumors have been circulated recently. To Sketc-li the Ground Plan. The president will return to Wash ington tomorrow afternoon. The ground plan for the coming Republi can gubernatorial campaign In New York will be sketched in detail this afternoon, when President Taft and Governor Hughes join in conference with Lloyd C. Griscom, president of the Republican county committee, and representatives of the party in the state. Senators Root and Depew and State Chairman Woodruff have been invited to attend by Mr. Griscom. While gubernatorial timber is to ba measured up it is likely no candidate will be selected until the return of Mr. Roosevelt from his African hunting trip, for the Republican organization looks largely to the former president, to aid in the coming election. Reports have it that President Taft favors Frederick C. Stevens, now head of the state canal system, for governor; but this is not generally credited for the reason, local politicians said today, that President Taft, while taking "a leading interest In New York's political affairs, would hardly name the man :o run. No very definite information Is ex pected to be made public, following the conclusion of the. conference. KILLED FOR REVENGE. Wealthy Glove Manufacturer Found Dead In His Factory. Chicago, Feb. 12. Revenge is now believed to be the motive for the mur der of Charles Wiltshire, the wealthy glove manufacturer, who was found dead last night in his factory with 37 stiletto wounds in his body. About a month ago Wiltshire caused the arrest of two Italians for having sold him stolen property. One was sentenced to serve a term in the house of correction and the other was dis missed. It is the belief of the police that the freed man. who is in custody, planned to murder Wiltshire for re venge. This nelief Is bubstantiated by the identification of the stiletto sheath which was found near the body, as the property of a brother of the suspect. The brother is said to have gone to Milwaukee, where the authorities have been asked to assist In the search for him. Wiltshire's body was discovered near the front dcor of his factory. The door padlock and keys were found nearby. This indicated that he was at tacked while closing his factory and the police are working on the theory that the murderer planned to slay Wiltshire while no aid was near. The man under arrest are Lorenc Bartell, 24 years old, and Frank Eb bole, 27 years old. The police are searching for the latter's brother, Chris Ebbole. The police say the stiletto sheath found by Wiltshire's body Is the property of Chris Ebbole. Neither of the men arrested would make a statement. Chris Ebbole was drawn further Into the case when his wife and daughter, unaware of the murder, identified the stiletto sheath as belonging to him. His daughter told the police she had found the stiletto and sheath some time ago and gave them to her father. "Both said that Ebbole carried the stiletto In its guard when he left home last night.

Cooley says Kunkle is lucky to have u place on the team at any price. declared he had taken more off Kunkle last year than he itvr intended to take again off any ball player and his reply to Kunkle, that he did not intend to waste more postage on the player, indicates that he means it. Hence it is that an in lielder as well as an outfielder may be copped at Chicago. Cooky has to purchase some new lyie tickets this spring and this mat ter will likely be attended to while in Chicago. He received samples of the tickets yesterday. The Commercial club yesterday voted to give Cooley $200 to buy new uni forms for the team. The business men of St. Joseph gave Holland $8,000 to rpend for new players. Which will have the most effect on the standing of the teams next fall? "Dal" Alderman has handed the Packer boss his signed contract. So far no signs of holdouts on the Sioux City team have appeared. Almost every day the mail brings a signed con tract. Other clubs are not so fortu nate. Holland has one or two that are bothering him considerably. Holland has carpenters at work re building the grandstands and bleachers a the St. Joseph ball park. The new seating facilities will accommodate 4. K spectators, as many as they ever are likely to pet in Joetown. j Pa Ronike of Omaha; is collecting another lively bunch of artists for his 1910 aggregation. In past years many players have graduated from Omaha to the big leagues and Pa thinks he has a few on the string this year who will get up the ladder in time. Sandy Griswold of Omaha, the dean of the sporting writers on the Wesurn 1 League circuit. predicts that either Omaha or Lincoln will get away in front when the season begins. Gris wold says that St. Joseph will win the cellar championship hands down. To peka and Wichita are woefully weak. Recording to Griswold. He says that Denver is not much better. He thinks that Des Moines and Sioux City will not be as strong as last year. Des Moines Tribune: Fans of Des Moines will see more baseball during the Hpring practice season than ever before. A series of good stiff practice Karnes are in prospect from April 1 until the season of play in the Western League begins. Just three weeks later. Minneapolis and Green Bay will fur nish the chief opposition to Des Moines. The Millers will play six games against Des Moines, the first one coming on April 1. Then the White Sox will play a pajae or two and the practice season will end up with a series against the Green Bay. Wisconsin-Illinois league team, which will do its spring training here. President Higgins yesterday an nounced that Manager Jack Pickett of the Green Bay team had decided to bring his candidates to Des Moines for arly practice. It is probable that Pickett expects to get the pick of the Des Moines castoffs by po doing. It W more than likely that the local own er will continue to make this team his farm for young players.

I BUTLER AMES:A Washington, D. C, Feb. 12. limited States Congressman Butler Ames of Massachusetts has just completed an airship, the details of which are still a secret. It is known that automatic balancing is one of the main features. Congressman Ames has made sev eral satisfactory trips and has just filed his claims for patents. So quiet has Congressman Ames been about his in vention that it is not even known whether he followed the bi-plane type of the Wright brothers or the mono plane type of the foreign aviators or has a new type different from any. date of the arrival of the Minneapolis squad. The teams will indulge in a day of tractica and then will put on the first game of the season. President Higgins says that none of the players are holding out and that the signed con tracts are coming into the office daily. Jack Holland: "I'm for the boosters. There isn't anything better for a club than a good bunch of boosters behind it. Sioux City did not have the best ball team on the circuit last year, yet look at the showng it made. And that showing was due to the support the players received from the fans. Why, those rooters there wouldn't remain still, even wfien the other side was scoring, and when Sioux City had an inning say, you couldn't hear yourself think! And it disln't matter if the team struck. one of those ruts as all clubs do and lost a few games. The fans never wavered in their support. They "were rooting just as hard when losing as when winning. And it's a mighty fine thing for the city, too. A ball club comes and beats us badly and the fans do not jeer the local players, but in stead cheer them on. The visiting play ers notice that and they go away, re marking about it. It makes them like the city and the spirit of the fans." In the event that Johnny Byrne, sec retary to Owner Higgins of the -Des Moines baseball club for the past two j-ears, does not reconsider his resigna tion which he says he sent to Mr. Hig gins. William Hughes, who last year handled all refreshments at the East Side park, will be the next man to handle the club's affairs for Mr. Hig gins. In a letter recently sent to Mr. Hughes, Owner Higgins states that r.e is of the opinion that Byrne will oe with him again this season but should he not care to again take up the trou bles of the team in 1910, the position would be offered to Hughes. Dick Padden, formerly St. Paul man ager, will do the scouting for the Wash ington club next season. Nap Rucker, the Brooklyn southpaw, who was injured in an accident recent 15, has almost entirely recovered and expects to be as good as ever next sea son. Arthur McCabe, the leading hitter of the Connecticut league, with a. .336 bat ting average on the New Britain club, will be given every chance to make good with Cincinnati this spring. Steinfeldt and Howard of the Cubs will not be able to go through Alabama this spring, as there are judgments against them growing out of the row with Umpire Harris at Birmingham two years ago. Kastern league experts are unani mous in the belief that Pitcher Russell Ford, who did phenomenal work for Jersey City last year, will be one of the Highlanders regular slabmen this year. Tom Jones is to have another rivil for his job at the first base with De troit next year. Jennings is figuring an giving bimmons a trial. Simmons comes from Rochester and hit .299 in the Eastern league. McGraw had Simmons south with him in 1908. The manager of the Giants got him from the Con necticut league. Too much weight proved a handicap and he was let no to Rochester. He played first for Ganzel's pennant Winners, and Jennings drafted him and w ill give him a trial. There is a terrible Swede going to tne .men landers next season. Ole John son. Johnson was born and raised at Muncie, Ind.. and is a glass blower durine the winter months. He started his professional career in 1903 with Dallas. He stayed there two years and left the Texas league in 1904. At the close of the season he was so'd to the Little Rock club. He was hardlv Class A caliber then, but Little Rock iheld him tw years before selling him to Charleston, s. C. He joined Portland in September, 1907. and has played a sensational game at short since. A Lincoln dispatch says: Don C Despain. president of the Lineo'n base ball club, is proving a veritable sur prise party to the army of enthusiasts in this citv and suburbs. DesDain is h live wire whose management will bear close inspection. W hen Messrs. Despain and Stoner bought the Lincoln fran chise last summer, the most optimistic were aubions. When thev sold the popular playing captain. Bill Fox, to Omaha for $l.ti00. a wail of sorrow went up to the Lincoln firmament.

Professor McKeever of the State Agricultural col lege has performed an Interesting ex periment before a psychology class in which he staged a "holdup" In his cla&s room and afterwards took testimony on the subject. The object was to test the reliability of eye witnesses. Professor McKeever selected three young men to stage the holdup and had them practice their parts In his office. He also made note of the-personal ap pearance. They were Instructed exact ly what to do and what to say. All of these things were placed in a note book in order that the testimony might be compared with the facts. The class In psychology had lust taken up when in rushed Jones, who whirled about and pointed a wr mch at his pursuers and exclaimed, "Stay back or I'll shoot." Turning he ran across the room and dropped to his knees, let tins? fall the small bag which he car ried, saying, "There, take it," and rushed out of the room. He was close ly followed by Smith and White. Smith yelled, "Give it tip, you scoun drel," grabbed the bag and ran out be hind tlie other two. White came in carrying a small re volver with the cylinder removed, yelling. "Take it from him, Eddie, he won t hurt you. The scene lasted only a few minutes. Professor McKeever appeared very much agitated but. when the affair was over he told the pupils the object of the test and asked each member of the class to write an account of what had hanoened. The testimony regarding the conduct of Jones varied greatly. Following are some of the accounts: First Pointed his finger at Smith and said: "Get out of here, Ed." Second The whole class was par alyzed with fear. Third He pointed a revolver. Fourth Pointed an imaginary pistol. Fifth Pointed a heavy object at the others as he went out. Sixth Held a revolver In his hand. (Winess recognized Jones). Seventh Had something like a re volver. Jones was masked. The testimony regarding Smith's con duct would have been particularly damaging In a criminal case. Although he was not armed in any manner nor carried anything in his hands, yet two testified that he carried a revolver in his hands and snapped it several times, while a third credited mm witn saying. "Stop or I'll shoot," at the same time aiming at Jones. White was scarcely noticed. One wit ness testified that he carried a club of some kind, bvit not one mentioned the fact that he carried the revolver with the cylinder removed, which was the case. It seems strange that White who was armed was not noticed and Smith who had nothing at all in his hands was accused by three eye witnesses of carrying a revolver. Likewise testimony as to tne appear ance of the different individuals did not agree. Some said that Jones wore a rain coat and others said White did. This test was unusually thorough. The witnesses were not expecting such an occurrence ana tnere were no prejudices to influence the testimony. It was Just a plain case of attemptng ti: tell what they had seen during an ex citing period. AYLSTTELD'S NEW SCHOOL. It Will Cost When Completed Over $75,000. Winfield, Kan., Feb. 12.

One load had been fed by Dickerson Brothers of Peabody, arm the other by John Stone of Holton.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1910. RAILR0AD HEWS. Law Provides Annuity to Kail road Men for Injuries. Proposed Measure Most Radical Given in Congress. PRESIDENT FAVOKS IT Judiciary Committee Invites Of ficials in Conference. Other Items of General Interest in Railroad Circles. Washington, Feb. 12. One of the most radical pieces of proposed legis lation before the present congress, and one which heretofore has not oc cupied much attention, is now being given serious ccnsideration by the ju tiiciary committee of the house, for February 17. to which a number of prominent railroad men of the coun try have been invited. It is the bill introduced by Repre sentative Sabath. of Illinois, which will require all persons "carrying on occupations and trades subject to the regulative power of congress," includ ing railroads, express companies and sleeping car companies, to pay com pensation on a fixed basis to Injured employes. The legislation, if enacted, vould overturn the present employers' liability law, and. in fact, revolution ize the existing system of indemnity for injuries. The bill defines the amount of com pensation to be paid employers to em ployes, in cases of injury or death, basing it upon the amount of the pre vious earning power of the victim, and provides that it shall be paid in the form of an annuity. President Favors Bill. The bill is based upon the laws of England and Germany. Such legisla tion was favored in one of the mess ages of former President Roosevelt and President Taft is also said to have commented favorably on it. Representative Moon, of Pennsylva nia, chairman of the subcommittee of the judiciary committee, analyzes the bill in a letter which he has sent to officials of leading railroads. Mr. Moon says in part as follows: "You will observe that this bill, both by its title and its scope, aims at the entire overthrow of the existing princi ples of law respecting the liability of common carriers engaged in interstate tommerce and in the carrying of the mails to their employes for acts of neg ligence resulting in injury or death. "It eliminates entirely all common law or statutory defenses based upon the principles of contributory or com parative negligence, the existing doc trine of negligence of co-employes and of risk of employment, and subjects the common carrier to a fixed and definite liability for injury or death to em ployes without regard to the negli gence of the defendant. It substitutes statutory compensation for common law liability and makes this compensation i distinct element of operating expen ses. Railroads Into Conference. "This bill is being vigorously pushed by its promoters. One hearing already lias been had by the subcommittee. The hearing was confined entirely to the principle involved, not to details of the bill. The hearing developed the fact that the change proposed by the bill was so radical, and, if enacted into law, would impose an obligation upon common carriers of the country en gaged in interstate commerce so differ ent from that already existing, that the committee would not be justified in passing upon it without affording an opportunity for them to be heard. "In pursuance of this action, we have postponed the hearing until Thursday, February 17, at 1:30 a. m., at which time we shall be glad to hear the views of your company upon the subject." Mr. Moon said that his committee (had been "seriously impressed by this proposed legislation and we are giv ing it the most careful considera tion." Mr. Sabath, author of the bill, has been working on the idea for a num ber of years, and has carried on a general propaganda in its favor. He announced at a recent hearing on this bill that, when it was enacted Into law, he was ready to retire from pub lic life, satisfied with his achievements. Nation Also Responsible. The bill is applicable to railroad and steamship companies engaged in In terstate or foreign commerce and to any company engaged in any capacity in handling the mails of the United States. Even the United States would be bound under its terms to pay com- CLEAR-HEADED Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable. pensation to its employes In the postal service injured or killed In the per formance of their duties. In the event of the death of an em ploye as a result of injuries, employers would be required to pay an annuity equaling 7 per cent of his average monthly earnings to his family or next of kin. Fifty per cent of the employe's maximum monthly earnings would be paid in case of total disability, not ex ceeding six months. Beyond that length of time the injured employe would receive two-thirds of the amount of his earnings. detail in regulating payment for in The measure goes into the minutest juries, specifying how much shall be paid for the loss of an eye, an arm, a finger, a toe, loss or impairment of sight, hearing or similar injury, and including medical, surgical and hospi tal treatment. The loss of a toe is fixed at 5 per cent, the loss of both eyes at 75 per cent, the loss of the right hand at 60 per cent. The bill would establish a court to be known as the federal commission of injury awards. The court would consist of three members appointed by the president at a salary of $6,000 per year, and would have full authority to liquire into and prosecute claims and to employ necessary assistants. STATISTICS OF SAFETY. Erie Holds the Record Xot a Fatality In Five Years. Our esteemed contemporary the Erie Railroad now submits Its record for safety in the transportation of passen gers and invites a comparison of the figures with' those of the Lackawanna and Pennsylvania systems. The new exhibit, as it comes to us from an authoritative and serious quarter, is contained in the announcement that "the Erie transported 125,000,000 passen gersin doing which It ran 3,750,000,000 passenger miles without a fatality; not in one year or in two years, but five years, on a railroad with a large amount of single and a main line one thousand miles in length." When we consider that the Erie's white total of distance achieved, re duced for statistical purposes to "pas senger miles." is equivalent to the transportation of a single through pas senger for a nonfatal ride to the mean of the planet Venus and back almost seventv-three times; and when we con sider, further, that It represents the safe short hauling of a mere commuter to the moon and home again every business day for twenty-six years and two months, not only Is the imagination staggered, but also the Imperative need of a common denominator becomes ap parent. We shall welcome other statements of a character so reassuring to the travel ing public and so gratifying to the patriot's pride In the triumphs of American railroading. However, If the noble competition is to end in a definite award It may become necessary to insist that all returns shall be made on blanks of the Sun's own formula tion. New York sun.

The shortage of cars promises to be an annoying feature of the anticipated strike. The chief bookkeeper in a large business house in one of our great Western cities speaks of the harm cof fee did him: "My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum a little over two years ago, end we have used it ever since, to the entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It happened in his way: "About three and a half years ago I had an attack of pneumonia, which left a memento in the shape of dys pepsia, or rather, to speak more cor rectly, neuralgia of the stomach. My 'cup of cheer' had always been coffee or tea, but I became convinced, af ter a time, that they aggravated my stomach trouble. I happened to men tion the matter to my grocer one day and he suggested that I give Postum a trial. "Next day it came, but the cook made the- mistake of not boiling it sufficiently, and we did not like it much. This was, however, soon reme died, and now we like it so much that we will never change back. Postum, being a food beverage, instead of a drug, has been the means of curing my stomach trouble, I verily believe, for I am a well man today and have used no other remedy. "My work as chief bookkeeper In our Co's branch house here is of a very connning nature. During my coffee-drinking days I was subject to nervousness and 'the blues' in addi tion to my jick spells.

Last Action in Rock Island-Frisco Di vorce Carried Out. Chicago, Feb. 12. The separation of the Rock Island-Frisco combination has been made complete by the par tition of the vast coal properties w hich were jointly owned by these com nanies. Official announcement of such separation has just been made, and it Is stated that the Consolidated Indiana Coal company, with headquarters here, has taken over the sale of its own out put, which previously was handled by the Brazil Block Coal company. Thp r,nnsrlirtnt.fl Indiana, comnany is owned directly by the Rock Island railroad and its divorcement from the Brazil Block Coal company is incident to the recent separation of the Chicago Kastern Illinois and the St. Louis San Francisco roads from the Rock Island. The coal properties represent ed by the Frisco and Eastern Illinois now are under the direction of Edwin Hawley, who has become interested in the B. F. Yoakum properties. BUSINESS SLOWER IN WEST. President Karling of C M. St. P. Says Merchants Cancel Orders. New York, Feb. 12. President Al bert J. Earling of the Chicago. Mil waukee St. Paul is authority for the statement that business is notably slower in the west than It was a month ago. Here is President Earling's state ment: "I have just learned that the west is cancelling orders.. Merchants who have right along been buying in large quantities are slowing up on their com mitments and those who have ordered shipments of manufactured goods for delivery during the spring are coun termanding them. A business reces sion may be on the way, and it may not, but certainly no favorable con struction can be placed upon the fact of cancelled orders." CHICKEN FREE" WITH. FARE. Washington, E. C.

Colorado's new railroad through the irrigated sec tions of northern Colorado.

Rock Island Commences Coal Storage Along Line. Peoria, 111.. Feb. 12. The Rock Island began the work of unloading the 12,000 tons of coal which is being stored in the upper yards at this point, in preparation for the coal strike which may be called on April 1. The local section men are doing the un loading, and as soon as they have emp tied the cars they will be returned to the mines and refilled with coal to be stored somewhere on the system. The men at Kingman's and the Peoria Strawboard works are also unloading and storing large quantities of coal. BUSINESS IS NORMAL Conditions Are About as Usual at This Time of Year. New York, Feb. 12. Bradstreets says "Trade maintains the quiet undertone previously noted and not unusual, by the way, at his season of the year. when buyers are gathering at leading markets in preparation for the open ir.g of the spring campaign. Reports ot ouyers Being numerous but or buy ing being conservative come largely from the leading northern and central western markets, prominent in this re f-pect being New York. Boston. Phila delphia and Chicago. In the northwest, southwest, the south and on the Pa cific coast, reports are still highly opti mistic and liberal buying for spring is noted. "Among the leading industries it might be noted that iron and steel are quieter; that there is weakness in pig iron and that high prices of some kinds of cotton goods repress dealing. In other lines of cotton however, and in woolen goods there is a good move' ment. Fears of a coal strike in the bituminous regions have led to heavy buying by railroads and manufacturers. The January movement of prices of commodities fails to show much effect of the agitation for lower prices of meats.

If you will read the editorial page in this week's (date of February 12) number of TMB SMTl MVMNIHG POST Edition 1,575,000 Copies you will find it clearly proved from the Post-Office Department's own reports, that it is totally unnecessary to put any addi tional tax on magazines and periodicals, and that a deficit of $17,500,000 is not chargeable to the periodicals. "For instance, the Post Office Department is charging $13,821,100 of the cost of rural free delivery against the second-class mail Now, rural free delivery was established as a matter of Govern ment policy, and we believe in it, but it is not fair to charge J one dollar of this expense against the magazines. It is undoubtedly of benefit to the daily newspapers, but the Department is trying to exempt them from an increase in rate. The magazines do not need or want once a day or twice a day deliveries on these rural routes. "Page 256, Postmaster's Report, 1908, says: 'Franking privileges weighed 4,555,634 pounds. They certainly cost the average price of all mail in all ways. And Governmental matter for Departments other than the Poet-Office weighed 18,644,010 pounds.' "This report says that if the matter was charged at -postal rates it would yield a revenue as follows: Second-class 531,560.94 Franked matter 3,987,546.44 Government matter 16,362,131.95 Total credit due Department $20,881,239.33 1 "And that awful deficit disappears. "It is impossible that a business of over $200,000,000 should not offer an opportunity for enormous savings. And a business like that of our great Postal Depart ment, with endless ramifications, must offer endless opportunities. No Postmaster-General entering his position to-day, with all the duties befalling a Cabinet official besides running his Department, no matter how great his intelligence or how fine his training, can grasp the details of this enormous business before he disappears. There is no time given to him to find these opportunities to save expense. The affairs of the Depart ment must, for the most part, be administered by those under him." Given a chance they would save in business economies more than the alleged deficit of $17,500,000. 7 rWe ask Congress to give us a Director of Posts as recommended by the joint Congressional committee of 1907, an officer who shall be non-political, and whose term of service shall not be subject to political changes, and who shall conduct the workings of the Post-Office Depart ment with the efficiency, economy and business-like methods which distinguish high-class American business enterprise.

Telling of his difficulties in forming a conception of the real Lincoln, he wrote that it was necessary to "wade through mountains of material," and It was only after long and exhaustive rwearch, embracing photographs, paintings and written material, that he commenced to model his bust of Lincoln. The father of the newest Lincoln has won renown in two fields of art. Not only Is he one of the best known of American sculptors, but his canvases are highly es teemed by critics and connoisseurs. He exhibited for the first time In the Paris salon of 1891, his contributions being a bronze group of a fallen Indian and his horse and a landscape painting.

Assistant Secretary Winthrop of the navy de partment has passed on the cases of Paymaster" George P. Auld, U. S. N., and Passed Assistant Surgeon Auzey H. Robnett, who were charged at a ball recently given in Boston by a na val officer with conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman in assault ing Dr. Cowles, a civilian. In the case of Auld, the loss of numbers adjudged by the court is re mitted and he is ordered released from arrest and restored to duty. The hnmngs or the court and sentence however, are approved. In the case of Robnett the sentence is mitigated to a loss of two numbers and he is ordered released from arrest and re stored to duty. The sentence of the court was that each officer should lose five numbers in grade. "Electric Sleep." The search of noted surgeons for an anesthetic with no detrimental effect on the heart or other vital organs apparently .has been rewarded at last. The result of Investigations here and abroad, which have just been made public here, show that electricity is far superior to any of the drugs now used to produce analgesia. The discovery is expected by promi nent surgeons to revolutionize modern surgery. Electricity as an anesthetic has no bad effects on the heart. It produces a form of Insensibility by act ing on the nerve centers of the brain, called "electric sleep." When the cir cuit is opened the influence of the an esthetic is immediately lost and the pa tient becomes conscious without feel ing anv of the after effects common to ether and cniorororm. At the Philadelphia general hospital the city will shortly procure the neces sary apparatus and will conduct a se ries of exhaustive investigations. Dr. Mihran Krikor Kassabian, director of the Roentgen Ray laboratory at the Philadelphia hospital, is now engaged In this work, together with Dr. Solo- i moo Soliscohen.

The county. assessor held that the property was not a public but a private charity and did not come under the provisions of the law exempting property used exclusively- for benevolent and charitable work from taxation. Judge Wilson sup ported tnis idea and the case was ap pealed to the supreme court. In Shawnee county the Masons have the grand lodge headquarters and own a building used exclusively lor tne the "work of the grand lodge officers. This was taxed by the local officials but Judge A. W. Dana knocked out the tax on the ground that the property was used for benevolent and charitable purposes exclusively. The county ap pealed the case. These two cases present two distinct ly divergent views of the law by lowe,r. courts but both involved the same questions. The third case involves the collection of tax on the building and property of Sommondwat Lodge No. 3 of the Odd Fellows at Kansas City, Kan. This property was taxed by the assessor and the lodge brought suit to enjoin the col lection of the tax. The lower court held against the lodge. A limited ouster was granted by the supreme court today against the in ternational Harvester company. The attorneys for the state and the com pany, hetore all of the evidence nau been taken had agreed upon this modi fied order and the court accepted this agreement and made it a 'part of its or der. The court prohibits the company from making exclusive contracts with agents, limiting territory' and doing other things, which the attorney gen eral held were violations of the anti trust law. The court specifically says that it reserves the right to take up complaints in the future and settle them as it determines, thus retaining control over the business of the cor poration in Kansas. In its decision, written by justice Graves the court says: 'The court finds that under the evi dence a complete forfeiture of the de fendant's charter and right to transact business within the state of Kansas would be justifiable, but it does not deem such an order necessary or ex pedient at this time. It finds that the volume of business In harvester ma chinery transacted in this state by the defendant sufficiently large to mane it a matter of public concern and a pro per subject for regulation. 'It is therefore ordered that tne de fendant be and it is hereby prohibited from using exclusive contracts with its agents and dealers in this state, restraining or restricting them from handling or selling goods or imple ments of the nature sold by the de fendant in this state, other than those obtained from the defendant and it is restrained and prohibited from mak ing any unfair discrimination in the sale of its goods in this state against any section, community or city or be tween persons for the purpose of de stroying competition. No nnding is made as to the reasonableness or un reasonableness of the prices at which the defendant sells its goods in this state nor as to the propriety of re stricting local agents to the sale of a single line of harvesting machines. The right is reserved to make any further order in the premises herer after which upon complaint and ade quate showing may appear to be just and proper. "If there is anything due the state on account of a charter fee of the new Jersey company the debt is one for which that company and not the defendant is liable, but in this action, the court, not having jurisdiction ov er the New Jersey corporation can do nothing in the premises. The state cannot collect the sixty thousand dollar charter fee asked for by the attorney general. The Kansas sucreme court has or. dered F. M. Holoomb, county clerk of Wyandotte county, to put the assess ments of the Cudahy Packing com pany on the .tax rolls of the county. The packing companies held that the finished product of the plants on hand March 1 was not taxable. The county commissioners assessed the property however, and then the county clerk re fused to put the additional property on the tax rolls on the ground that as the fall settlements had been made by the clerk and treasurer there could be no additions to the assessed values added to the tax rolls. The supreme court held against all of these propositions. It declared that the taxable property not listed at the time the assessments were made could be added to the tax rolls at any time and that the finished products of all manufacturing plants were taxable and it should have been listed by the pack ing companies and if not listed the county commissioners have ample right to order the property on to the tax rolls. The writ of mandamus asked for by the county attorney to compel the county clerk to spread the pack ing house products on the tax rolls was granted by the court. This means the addition of several million dollars in taxable property to the assessment rolls of Wyandotte county and every other county in the state. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

NAT BARNES DEAD. Was One of Republican Leaders in Kansas. Kansas City"," Feb. 12 Nathaniel Barnes, ex-mayor' and formerly post master of Kansas City, Kan., died at the age of 62 years In that city last night. Mr. Barnes was stricken with paralysis last November and a week ago he suffered a second attack, which led to his deavh. Mr. Barnes was well known among Republican politicians, and was Ions a member of the state central committee. Nat Barnes, Who Died Last Night. A list of the big men of Kansas would be incomplete without a mention of the name of Nathaniel Barnes of Kansas City," Kan. In business as well as In political circles he was always at "the front. Although unassuming in manner, he had a way of getting what he went after. Seldom wanting any thing himself, he was ever getting something for his friends. As a citizen he was one of the men who kept Kan sas City, Kan in the public eye. He was always to the front in public enter prises and was one of the most enter prising and public spirited men that city ever had. Mr. Barnes was born in 1847 at Summerset, Perry county, Ohio, the home of Phil Sheridan After receiv ing a substantial and practical educa tion, he entered the employ of a whole sale grocery house at Zanesville, Ohio. He remained with the house 15 years and was eminently the leading sales man in the state. In 1883 Mr. Barnes came west and located at Kansas City, Kan Here he assumed charge of Lone Brothers' wholesale grocery house the oldest of its kind in Kansas City Kan., which he managed success fully for twelve .years. He had been engaged in the coffee business exclu sively and there was probably no man in the west who handled more coffee than he. After a good deal of experl mentinsr he had discovered the ideal Send of Mocha and Java, which he had chritened "Old Glory," and it is on sale at all the grocers. For many years Mr. Barnes had taken a prominent part in politics, both local and state. Down at Kansas Citv Kan. he was a recognized Re publican leader and among the fel lows" at Topeita it is admitted, that he had as much influence with the state and national administrations as any man in the state, with the possible ex V( nf cv Leland. He was dele- iar to the national Republi can convention at St. Louis in 1896 and was an ardent McKinley man. He was made a memoer oi ,.Uw.i m)t, nr,fl with that committee he made the trip to Canton Ohio,- where President aictviniey wm i lv notified of his nomination for the presidency of the United States. t,-3o elected mavor of Mi. inj li- i.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATS JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12,1910. CRiSTOW IN DOUBT Kansas Senator Raises His Toice in Protest. DO YOUR TEETH FIT To everyone needing a set of artificial teeth, but particularly to those having teeth that are not satisfactory, I want to call your atten tion to the plate below with the patent suction, the newest, most comfortable and tightest-fitting plate ever invented. The suction makes it impossible for yiem to drop. Now Think What This Means? If you are trying to wear a set of teeth that do not fit, a plate that is constantly dropping down, it is yonr own fault. When patronizing me I place my BELL SUCTIONS in your plates, making a misfit an impossibility. I want to place a limited number of these plates out for advertising purposes, and in order to do so, I will make the first twenty sets of teeth FREE, only charging for the material used. Try and be one of the first patients to call, for no doubt I will have many inquiries. Remember location and this fact: that all operations done in my office are PAINLESS to the patient. PAINLESS ROMINE Office Hours: 8 to 6; Sundays, 10 to 12. 704 KANSAS AVENUE, TOPEKA KNEW M PLACE. Uecognized a Good Thing When lie Saw It. jiansas city man wires his Opinion of Elmhurst. THE EXCLUSIVE CLASS Hare Purchased Homes There and Are Aware of It. Prices More Reasonable in To peka Than Other Cities. "How will I know when I get to Eimhurst?" asked a man from Kansas City, as he boarded a Washburn car today. "I'll Dtop the car for you when we get out there." answered the conductor. The car buzzed along, the Kansas Cit Jan, seated on the right side of the car noted the splendid residences, the wide parking and the level lawns in the western portion of the city. As the car passed West street he started for the car door. That's Elmhurst," said he as he waved an excited gesture toward the ftreets of new residences, all neat, clean cut and regular.

On Wednesday noon next one of the big events of the season will be held at the Commercial club quarters. Under the auspices of the Commercial club and the Topeka Advertising club, Hugh Chalmers, general manager of the Chalmers' Motor Car company of De troit, will give an address. This will be one of the few occasions when the wives of the club members are given a special invitation to be present. Huffh Chalmers, Who Will Deliver an Address Wednesday Noon at the Commercial Club Quarters. Mr. Chalmers is a man of remark able ability. He is nrobablv the only man in the automobile industry who icit a position paying a salary of 7z, 000 a year to go into business for him self. Mr. Chalmers wanted to make something under his own name, and so he resigned as vice president and gen eral manager of the National Cash Reg ister company and left a salary of pretty nearly J2U0 a day. Mr. Chalmers began his business ca reer at the age of 14 as office boy in the Dayton, Ohio, salesrooms of the National Cash Register company. At 24 he was a district sales manager. At 29 he was vice president of the com pany with the salary mentioned. This position he held for seven years. When he entered the automobile in dustry a little less than two years ago people asked: "Who is Chalmers?" Today he is one of the best known, personally, of all the men who manu facture motor ears. In those two years he has tripled the size of the Chalmers plant, and it is still growing. When he iook noia of the company, the factory consisted of one building, 60 by 400 feet and three stories high. Now there pre throe main factory buildings, each 60 by 400 feet and four stories high. and a dozen other buildings besides, the whole occupying 30 acres of land. In two years Chalmers cars have become known in all parts of the world. This year the company will build 4,250 cars; it might build 10.000 and still the de mand would not be satisfied. And this is all due to the genius of a man who left a salary of $72,000 a year to go into business for himself. K. and Ii. of S. Benefit. K. and L. of S. No. 1 team and band benefit.

An Accounting Is Demanded by the Senator. Washington, Feb. 12. When a, bill came up in the senate to reimburse a postmaster for money spent in an em- j ergency lor clerical assistance, senator Bristow of Kansas took occasion to "call down" the postofflce department for its methods practiced in settling such claims. Furthermore, he has held up final consideration of the claim un til the postofflce department can give an account of its action. The case in question was a bill pre stnted by Senator Nixon, of Nevada, which carried an appropriation of $3, 000 to reimburse W. B. Graham, post master at Ely. Nev., for money ex pended for extra clerical assistance in his office during the mining excitement at the mining camp of Ely some two or three years ago. when the place grew from a small village to a city of sev eral thousand people. According to the statement of Sen ator Dixon, the postmaster at that time was unable to secure the necessary clerical assistance with the allowance he had for that purpose, and consequently he was compelled to hire extra clerks and pay for them out of his own pock et. Being a mining camp no one was allowed to work for less than $4 per day, and that was the price that had to be and was paid. "The criticism which I would pass is not so much on the merits of the claim as applied to the individuals who re ceived the money," said Mr. Bristow, "but congress every year appropriates so much money for Just such cases. I WThen the postofflce department sends 1 in a claim here for J3.000 it means an increase in that appropriation. If the appropriation which is allowed for these extraordinary conditions had been used, then this claim would not have been necessary. Why is it that this 1 claim was not paid from the fund that is provided for that purpose instead of being sent here as an additional and extraordinary appropriation?" In a letter to the senate committee I on postoffices. C. P. Grandfleld. acting i postmaster general, had recommenaeo. passage of this bill, stating that it was "specially meritorious." After considerable discussion of the measure, a. motion was made to pass it, but Senator Bristow entered his ob jection. "Let the bill go over," he said. I desire to have the senator from Nevada to obtain a detailed statement as to the amount of money which. was allowed the Ely postofflce bv the' postofflce department for extra clerical help and why it was deemed necessary to send here to the senate this kind of a claim." Senator Bristow has introduced a bill authorizing and directing the sec retary of the treasury to pay to the heirs of William W. C. Chaney the sum of $3, ISO, in payment of 2,000 bushels of corn. 18 tons of hay, 2,500 sheaves of oats, taken from his farm during October, 1861, by the federal army. Petitions and memorials presented in the senate by Mr. Bristow: Peti tions of citizens of Logan. Kan., for the passage of the so-called National Tribune pension bill; memorials of citizens of Lenora, Washington, Pratt, Denton, Palmer and Blue Rapids, Kan., remonstrating against the pas sage of a postal savings bant bill; memorial of Meriden citizens against passage of a ship subsidy bill, and also against an increase of the rate of postage on second class mail matter; memorial of citizens of Jewell against postal savings bank bill; petition of business men of Wichita praying for the enactment of legislation to defer the date of filing the first reports re quired of corporations under the .cor poration tax law until such time as the supreme court renders a decision as to the constitutionality of the law. Senator Borah of Idaho, a former Kansas man, will be one of the chief figures in the consideration of the na tional incorporation bill in the senate. He is on the judiciary committee, to which the bill has been referred, and. AloutiBUifolb Mr. Johr. A. Fay, with his family and household goods, will leave Manila Monday by the United States transport Thomas, for San Francisco, to which place he has been transferred. They expect to arrive in San Francisco March 15. Mr. Fay has been stenographer in the government employ for the last six years, and in the Philippines the last five years as stenographer to the chief clerk of the commissary department. He will hold a similar position in San Francisco. Mr. Fay took a course in Dot-gharty's Business College during the summer vacation while a student at Washburn college, and stepped into a fine stenographic position with the Santa Fe railway the next day after commencement. He has made a fine success as a stenographer. Mrs. Fay also is a graduate of Dougherty's Busi ness College. They were married since they went to the Philippines. Miss Mary Backenstoce has taken a position in the law office of W. S. Mc Clintock. Robert E. Roudebush. who has been stenographer with the Santa Fe at Wellington the past year, has been transferred to the general freight of fice in Topeka, taking the position of R. E. Cunningham, another Dougher tyite, who has been promoted in the same office. This is difficult position to fill, and Mr. Cunningham has made for himself an unusual record as a skillful stenographer. The night school at Dougherty's at present employes ten teachers. Superintendent Whlttemore, of the city schools, will give the next of the series of "Practical Talks from Prac tical Men." Monday afternoon. R. W. Getty, of Manhattan, is at tending the State T. M. C. A. as a delegate. Mr. Getty is at present a student in K. S. A. C, and is doing considerable stenographic work on the side. besides that, he has been working for the better part of a year on the legal and constitutional problems connected with national corporations. One of the most unusual attempts on record to bring outside pressure to bear upon conjress in support of the passage of pending legislation is being made in behalf either of the anti gambling bill relative to farm prod ucts, the parcels post bill, or both, no one has been able to discover which. For days members of both branches of congress have ben flooded with let ters from their constituents, all word ed exactly- tiike, and indorsing the anti-gambling and parcels post bills. As there is no connection between the two measures, that anyone is aware of, the fact that they should be linked together is proving almost as puzzling to the members who have been re quested to support them as that all the letters should have ben, couched In precisely the same phraseology and. In many insrnces, addressed in the same handwriting, although signed by different persons and mailed from dif ferent sections of the country at ap proximately the same time. President Taft has given his ap proval to the bill of Congressman Ed Madison of Kansas, providing for the appointment of a commission to pre pare a code of procedure in the United States courts and to expedite the busi ness of those courts. The president has advocated this step for some time and hopes that congress will give the subject careful attention. The bill Is pending before the judiciary committee of the house. It authorizes a commission of five lawyers to report to congress a com plete code regulating the procedure in the courts, designed to expedite trials and decisions and allowing reviews by appeal without unnecessary formality or expense. A similar bill was pre sented in th- last congress by Judge Madison, but did not not get out of the committee. A commission of six, two from the senate, two from the house, and two to be appointed by the president, is to be created under a bill introduced by Senator Charles Curtis to investigate and report to Jie president on Novem ber 1, 1910, on the subject of employ ers' liability r.nd' workingmen's com pensation. Booker T. Washington' has not the influence at the White House in this administration that he had under the Roosevelt regime. When Roosevelt was president. Dr. Washington was fre quently consulted when it came to set tling whether this colored man or that should hold office. President Taft. so the gossip goes in colored political circles here, told Book er T. that before settling appointments he would confer with such men as Bishop Grant of Kansas, Bishop Gaines. Charles Anderson, who is collector of internal revenues in New York city, a.nd others of prominence among the colored race In this country. North ern colored men of prominence are to be given more attention than in the preceding administration. Senator Foraker at one time in the senate alluded to Booker T. Washing ton as "the third senator from Ohio." The remark was apropos of an appoint ment of a. colored man in the Buckeye state by Roosevelt, without the senators being counseled with. Senator Curtis today stated that he expected President Taft to announce the federal appointments for Kansas either next -Monday or Tuesday. The inspector's report dealing with charges filed against Harry J. Bone has just been received, and the department of Justice is now engaged in going through the papers to make a report to the president. As has been heretofore stated in the State Journal, the charges against Bone have fallen flat. He will be appointed district attorney; Fremont Leidy will be named collector of internal revenues for the state, while A. W- Smith will be selected pension agent at Topeka. afteOhcbugs. K. XT. Will Furnlsn .farmers wun Necessary Exterminator. Lawrence, Kan., Feb.' 12. "Just at this season of the year, when the rush of farm work has not yet begun, farm ers should hand themselves together by townships and by counties for the purpose of exterminating the chinch bug," said Prof. S. J. Hunter, entomol ogist at the University of Kansas, to day. "Unless the bugs are- killed at the present time the more serious problem of dealine with them is sure to come up in the season of growing crops, after much damage has been done. "The chinch bugs will soon be mi grating to the wheat fields from their winter refuge. The females will there deposit their eggs at the roots of the growing grain Each insect lays from 200 to 500 of these eggs, and when the small, reddish, mite-like creatures are hatched they soon sap the lives of the plants upon which they feed. Every time a farmer cremates a fe male chinch bug he forestalls the pos sibility of the existence of 500 more of the kind. Burn the Grass. Do It Now. "The chinch bug has been unusually abundant this winter about the roots of bunch grass. Cold, freezing weather has had little effect on its health and vigor. Just as soon as the grass be comes dry enough to burn the stalks close to the ground, fire should be run over the meadows and the roadways. SDecial attention should be given to the grass next to fields where the bug was prevalent last summer. If all this bunch grass aDOut me iarms is Dumeu the chinch bug will be almost exterm inated and will not bother the farm ers much next summer." Professor Hunter expects the chinch bug to cause much trouble in Kansas next summer, unless the farmers take action at once and unless the weather is unfavorable to the insect at the commencement of the growing sea son. The department of entomology is making arrangements to aid the farmers in any fight that they may have to make. To Spread Infection. "The yniversity will send farmers packages of chinch bugs infected with the well known fungus disease that is supposed to kill them in great num bers," continued Professor Hunter. "These infected buss will then spread the disease among the other Insects in the fields and in that way exterminate them. The farmers will also be in structed how to pen up the bugs in a small area, so that they can not en danger the entire field of grain. "The university now has two men detailed to study the chinch bug and the fungus growth. Their findings will be made known to the farmers and it will be determined Just how efficient the artificial introduction of the fun gus growth is. and what is the best metnoa to spread tne disease.

Feb. 12.- The Central Foundry company, a corporation cap italized at $14,000,000, which manu factures cast Iron soil pipes and fit tings, went into the hands of a re ceiver today. Judge Hough of the United States district court appointed Waddell Catchings as receiver, to con tinue the business at his discretion. The claims of the petitioning cred itors amounted to about $1,200. but the creditors allege that the liabilities amount to more than $4,500,000. xne petitioning creditors state tnat the company has property worth $1,500,000 and employs 1,600 men. The property of the Central Foundry company consists chiefly of' seven operating foundries, which are located in Newark, N. J., Dundat, S. D.. South Pittsburg, Tenn., Vincennes, Ind., Me dina, N.

The company also owns foundry property at Wilmington, Iel., and con- irois me uentral Iron Coal com pany of New Jersey and the Central Radiator company of New Jersey. The foundry company has outstanding $3,861,000 six per cent debenture bonds, unsecured, and an additional unsecured indebtedness of $540,000 and a secured indebtedness of $345,000. Receiver Catchings said today that ne expected successfully to reorganize tne company. SCIENTIFIC SUCCESS. o Mr. Leander A. Bigger of Hutch inson, is brave as well as smart. If he were not he never would have published his "Around the World With a Business Man," for it com prises four large volumes, and books of travel, no matter how well written, are usually failures from the stand point of the bookseller. Consequently Mr. Bigger's book is not destined to be one of the "best sellers," but there are other things to be considered in determining literary merit and judged by these other standards the work is not a failure by any means and be sides Mr. Bigger doesn t need the money.,. Pool of Blood in the Pastor's Study' and "The Case of the Golden Bullet." John Stuart Thomson's notable work.

The "Bulle tin of the Portland (Ore.) Chamber of Commerce" says that his "book is the latest and, most likely, the best volume written about the Celestial." WOXDKRITL TOPEKA INVENTION Leander A. Bigger of Hutchinson, Kan. Never a book by a Kansas author has been published with such a well defined purpose to make it beautiful and artistic. It is printed on excel lent paper and is filled with beautiful photogravures. It is elaborately bound in red silk, stamped with gold. There is nothing cheap about the work and the publishers, Jno. C. Winston Co., of Philadelphia, as Purity The Watchword Care The Commandment n There are no purer, fresher, better drugs than the ones we use in filling our pre scriptions, ureater care could not be taken, for ev ery one is double checked by two expert pharmacists. i 41 Prescriptions Our Specialty We fully realize the grave responsibility in prescription filling and have therefore perfected our system until it DOES NOT admit of a mistake. You will get the right kind of drugs in exactly the right proportions you will get what the doctor orders. Isn't this assurance worth something to you? Geo. W. Stansfield Drwircist 632 Kansas Ave. well as the author are entitled to a verdict of commendation. As for the text it deserves its place in such an artistic setting. Capt. J. G. Waters of Topeka, who has read the work, says that it is the best book of travel he has ever read and that he secured a better grasp on tne naD its of the people of the foreign coun tries and their history than he has ever received from any standard his tory. He says it should be used as a text book by students. Mr. Bigger is a modest man, evi dently, for he says that while his "ob servations" are the result of three years travel they are compiled from letters written to friends and that "no rash attempt is made at eloquence, wit or literary excellence. It is mere ly a pen picture, drawn as best he knew how, by a man whose life has been devoted to business affairs." Notwithstanding the apparent length of Mr. Bigger's travel story, un like most travels he devotes but one brief chapter of seven pages to leav ing home and only another to the open sea journey, including a stop at the Madeari Islands, this is decided ly refreshing. He begins his observa tions in Spain and continues in Italy and then to Egypt and to Jerusalem and then he is back in Greece and Rome. The second volume begins with Rome and is devoted principally to cities in Europe, including Mos cow, St. Petersburg and other Russian towns. The third volume opens in Scotland and the author after touching at points of historic interest returns home and then leaves by the Pacific route for Japan via Honolulu. The rest is devoted to the Orient. In the last volume Mr. Bigger takes his read ers around through India and after a glimpse of northern Italy passes over to Norway and then back to England. The volumes are profusely illus trated with beautiful photogravures of actual scenes on the route, that would be a credit to any publication. Nothing is said about the price at which the books are to be sold in the announcement and it may be that Mr. Bigger has had them printed for pri vate distribution. At any rate they are an enduring monument to suc cessful Kansas business man who un derstands English and knows what to write about to interest the seeker after knowledge. W. E. Connelley's "Ingalls" is a val uable addition to the Ingalls literature of Kansas. It is the first critical study of the life of the most promin ent public man the state has pro duced. The volume includes the fa mous Atchison speech which caused no end of controversy. The book is published by the Hall Company of Topeka. Among Duffield Co.'s spring novels are: "xne Adventures of Mr. Polly,' by H. G. Wells, author of "Tono Bungay;" "The Emigrant Trail," by Geraldine Bonner: "The Innocent Mur derers," a mystery story, by William Johnston and Paul West; "Joe Muller: Detective," by Grace Isabel Colbron; and "The Crimson Azaleas." by H. de Vere Stacpoole. author of "The Blue Lagoon." "The Dial That Almost Speaks the Time" Proving a Success. "The expense of maintaining Mount Vernon is very heavy, even without the purchasing of relics," Abby Gunn Ba ker explains in her story of "The Pre servation of Mount Vernon" in the February Century. "The building"! are old, and the restorations and repairs must be continuous. Dredging the chan nel is an Item of large expense which must occasionally be met" over $10,000 being the last outlay). The article goes into further explanation of Just why the association's present endowment fund of $100,000 is still insufficient with out gate fees. Another addition to the gallery of great detectives of fiction is promised by Duffield Co.. who announce "Joe Muller: Detective." adapted and trans lated from the German of Augusta Groner, by Grace Isabel Colbron. Jo? Muller is a "character" and a. "find." and is said to compare favorably with Sherlock Holmes or Arsene Lupin. Among his most exciting cases related in the forthcoming volume will be: "The Case of the Pocket Diary Found in the Snow," "The Case of the Lamp That Went Out" "The Case of the i H. S. Montgomery, General Watch Inspector, for the Santa Fe System, as sumed the task of solving the problem of preventing. If possible, the misread' ing of time. He has given the question of watch and clock dials much thought. His long study of the question was crowned with success because the name "Montgomery" Is now being advertised in connection with his "Safety Numeri cal Dial" the country over, by nearly all American watch factories. The dial Mr. Montgomery has invented shows ii plain figures each minute from "1" to "60" in such a perfect and legible man ner that a mistake is now impossible, The Santa Fe System adopted Mr. Montgomery's dial as a Standard and since such adoption it has been placed upon every clock on the system, and is being rapidly placed upon the watches of employes whose duties in any way effect the operation of trains. In the past two weeks Mr. Montgomery's as- sistants have fitted a great many of these dials to the watches of Engineers and Conductors. All of the Local In spectors are provided with the dials and most of the watch factories are fitting their product at the factoriy, whenever the dial is specified by the trade in their orders for watch move ments. Inquiries for the dial are being re ceived from all parts of the world and the orders for the dials are not coming irom the railroad men of the country alone. The field for this important in vention is unlimited for reasons too numerous to mention. It is the only watch or clock dial ever invented which teaches the public to read the time from timepieces correctly, always so many minutes after the hour and never of or to. A child is very readily taught to "tell time" with this new dial, while such task was formerly a hard one. The minute hand with this dial, points to the figures which give the minute or minutes, and no "figuring" or "counting notches" as a Santa Fe Engineer put it while discussing the merits of the dial. For example: At two minutes before twelve o'clock, the minute hand plainly points to the proper time: 11:58. Mr. Montgomery has received much interesting correspondence from rail road men and the general public in con nection with his invention and the com mon remark from railroad men who have the dial fitted to their watches is. "It is one of the most valuable tools in the ralway employe's kit." The Elgin National Watch Company has started a great advertising cam paign for the dial and railroad publica tions are now carrying full page adver tisements. All grades of 16 and 18 size railroad movements are now supplied witn xne Montgomery safety Numeri cal Dial" direct from the Elgin factory, A traveling representative of one of the watch factories while in Topeka on Monday advised Mr. Montgomery that his orders had been for three out of five to be fitted with the "Montgomery uiai. The traveling salesman of another company was in Topeka on Tuesday and informed Mr. Montgomery he started on his present trip at New Or leans and worked to Kansas City, and that the majority of his orders were for the "Safety Dial." Inasmuch as all the territory covered by that traveler is oft the Santa Fe System it shows that the public generally, as well as the railway employes of the country, appreciate Its merits and are demanding the dial. The product of the Elgin, Hamilton, Waltham, niinois, Rockford or Hamp den Companies can now be had, from anv first-class dealer, fitted with this splendid Dial.

During the first Antarctic summer, 190S-'O9, the expedition in spite of difficulties which threatened to im peril its success was able to complete the French map as far as Adelaide island, off the north entrance to the Strait of Magel lan and the westernmost of the group of Queen Adelaide islands, and a stretch of new land 120 miles long was surveyed The expedition ultimately reached Alex ander island. The region was explored and proved to be barren and covered with Icebergs, glaciers and masses of rock. It afforded no shelter to the explorers, who wintered at mermann island. The season was comparatively mild, but bad enough to cause considerable sick ness in the party. Numerous interesting excursions were made among the glaciers. jjuring tne Antarctic summer tne ex pedition explored Deception and Budge man islands in South Shetland archipel ago. Following this the explorers contin ued south, discovering new land to the west and south of Alexanderland, and Peter island was also visited. The expedition navigated as far as lati tude io degrees soutn, longituae ia west. Alexander island, or as it is sometimes called, Alexanderland, is a small island In the South Atlantic ocean about lati tude 69 degrees south, longitude 75 de grees west and is considered to be a part of the socalled Antarctic continent. It was discovered by Bellingshausen in 1821. COLLISION ON A PIER. A Dozen Persons Injured in an Acci dent at Oakland, Cal. Oakland, Cal., Feb. 12. A dozen persons were injured, none fatally, in a rear-end collision between two elec tric trains on the Key route pier In a dense fog early today. Two cars were telescoped. Because of the fog, a crowded Oak land train was flagged at what is known as the second fog station, about midway on the three-mile trestle. It was given a three-minute headway. A Berkeley train was supposed to reach the pier 20 minutes later. Failing to catch any signals, the motorman of this train ran along at the usual rate of speed, and, because of the fog, did not see the standing train until he struck it.

The firemen salary ordinance pass d nv thA cltv council lfi-st Mondflv niffht is in danger of being vetoed by Mayor William Green.. The ordinance is still In the office of the city clerk and has not been signed by the mayor.

Prof. Paul Shorey Shatters Tradition. an Old The convention' of the Classical Association of Kansas and Western Missouri was opened last, night by the lecture at the high school given by Prof. Paul Shorey of the Chicago uni versity.. Prof. -L. -D. Whittemore made a short address welcoming the visitors to the city and telling of the increased demand for classical education by the youth of the west. His talk rather indirectly defended the classical course of study in the public schools now .being attacked by those who con sider it impractical. Mr. Ralph Ward, president of the Classical association and principal of the Kansas City, Kan., high school, made the response to Professor Whittemore's welcome and introduced to the audience Professor Shorey, who lectured on "Some Mod ernisms of the Ancients." Any of those who may have gone to the meeting In the hope of hearing a learned dis course comparing the knowledge and scientific attainments of the Greeks with our. own, were disappointed. The address was much more humorous than serious and was rather lighter in character, than any that has vet ben given on the teachers lecture Course. 4v.PT0,fest0r S1101"6 began by explaining that in the matter of discoveries and in ventions and in a knowledge of scien tific details, we are far ahead of the ancients, but in the broader field of thought, philosophy, government the encients were thoroughly modern. He quoted a dozen of our most familiar proverbs, maxims. and household iphrases, giving as their authors, Seneca, Plutarch, Marcus Aurelius, Euripides, etc. He showed how the sugar loaf head of the statesman. Pericles, was as good a joke in old Athens as the den tal smile of Roosevelt is to Americans today. The Greeks had the women question, the educational problem, and the music drama question. Women keen for the ballot, the public had con--flicting ideas about higher education, and books were written on the same problems of the future life, civics, mor als, sociology, and other things that puzzle the minds of men still. Notwith standing the Venus de Milo ideal, girls laced then as now. and the current Jokes of the time were identical with the best ones of ours. Professor Shorey gave a good deal of original verse xnat ne Diamed .the Greek poets for, and what was Plato and what was Shorey was badly jumbled. After the lecture an Informal recep tion was held on the first floor of the building for the visitors. GOES TO PITTSBURG. State Y. M. C. A. Convention to Be Held There in Two Years. At the morning session of the State Y. M. C. A. convention it was decided to hold the next convention at Pitta burg, but a resolution was passed which provider for holding the conven tions biennially after that time instead of annually. The idea is that it is too much or a tax upon the various asso ciations to hold the big gatherings every year, and as a substitute the plan is to hold district conventions dur ing the odd years. The flm address this morning was on "investments ror the Kingdom" by Dr. Frank T. Bayley of Denver. The second address was "Measuring up to a Great Opportunity," by K. A. Shumacher, popular association leader of Chicago. At the close of the session this morn ing two hundred men Volunteered to flA In canvassing the entire city going from door to door, inviting the men to be present at the big mass meeting at the Auditorium tomorrow afternoon at 3 o clock. At this session $5,000 was raised to ward the support of the work -of the state committee for the ensuing year, $3,300 of this amount being secured through individual pledges and $1,700 tnrougn association pledges.

Topeka theatrical climate must be chilly at least a majority of the stars scheduled for this city have gone through their performance with a hoarseness which is distressing both to actor and audience. Robert Edeson in "A Man's a Man" last night was no exception. Edeson was never more popular. with a Topeka audience last night, nevertheless. This play "A Man's a Man" was as good as made to order for him. He is much better adapted to the part than to the- parts allotted to him in his former-appearance. The play is good mighty good it is one of those plays that leads the young lover down in the audience to turn to his lady love and say, "Don't worry about me." The play includes a panorama of politics,, stato legislatures, tainted money, ambitious youth, love, fidelity and pathos. A little humor was sprinkled here and there to brighten up the broken hearts. The play was woven around a -divorce problem and incidentally brought in situations that saved divorce from the "cruel, cruel courts." Robert Edeson as has been said before was built for the lines assign ed to him. The character of Luke Moore, a member of the Montana leg islature, as portrayed by Howard Hall, was so well done that he shared with Edeson the honor of the production. Hall looke Hire Tim Murphy and his days of stardom are not far distant. Josephine Lovett as Peggy Hewitt acquitted herself with credit. She was good to look upon and all that.

ROY L Candidate for HIS PLATFORM A careful study of the city water works situation with a view of taking immediate steps toward making such changes as are necessary to at all times insure our city an ample supply of pure water and at a minimum cost. A modern garbage or incinerating plant and a system whereby the resi dents of our city may be supplied with uniform garbage cans to be plac ed convenient to the alley, where such garbage may be regularly collected and disposed of. This to be handled entirely by the city and at the lowest possible cost. A rigid Investigation as to the abil ity and integrity of all applicants for appointive office and a selection based wholly on these qualifications regard less of politics, friendship or other influence. The prompt dismissal of such in cumbent when- found lazy, dishonest or incompetent. Fair and honest wages to city em ployees but a dollar's value for every dollar expended, whether In the em ployment of labor or the letting of city contracts. Cheap Motive Power A private water fall couldn't furnish much more econo mical power than gas at the present rates. Used in gas engines it generates a steady, constant, relentless force which will drive the belts from 7 o'clock 'till six at a sav ing of many dollars in a months' time. GAS ENGINES are giving perfect service in more than 20 factories in Topeka Let' our representative call and talk with you about it. Our man knows the facts about gas engine power and can intelligently suggest the proper size and make for your particular plant. It's worth your while to find out about it. Consumers L. H. P. Co.

She "got her story," backed out of the room and "chased to the office" to write it. Robert Edfson was called back to the curtain so many times by the pleased audience that he made a cur tain talk. It was a short witty little chat in which he told of his cold, threw bouquets at tne author of the play, told of how Topeka had prospered since his last visit and hoped that he wuld be here again next year. His listeners agreed with him in all ha said and also hoped he would come j again.

Public play grounds or parks In sections of the city, where children, for the want of same, are compelled to play in the streets. A strict enforcement of all city ordinances.

J. Richenbacher, chair man; J. Will Kelly and N. B. Burge. R. D. Blaine has again been chosen as chairman of the immigration com mittee of the Commercial club. As co workers he will choose possibly 15 ae tive reai estate men. "The idea," said Mr. Blaine, "is to have the committee large enough so the work can be broader. Our object is to get young men to Topeka and vicinity, but this is for the purpose of benefiting the community in general and for the benefit of any indvidual or individuals interested in tracts of land. "I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these immigrants coming from Eng land any day now. "I hope to have men on the commit tee who are thoroughly familiar with land and real estate in the vicinity f Topeka. We should be able to list a sufficient number of tracts so that the prospective settlers will be able to make a choioe." On the list of manufacturing firms in xopeka which give promise to be a factor in the general prosperity of the city for it is a fact that every paying institution will aid in bringing the cap ital city to her supremacy is the To peka Vending Machine company. Some weeks ago the people of Topeka viewed with curious interest a peanut vending machine which stc)d on the corner of Kansas avenue and Eighth avenue. Many a nickel was put into this machine for the purpose of watch ing the process of delivering the pea nuts into a cup and slipping out a bag in which to put them. The machine has proved to be prac tical and recently the capital stock of the Topeka Vending Machine company has been Increased to $20,000. J. B. Haskins, the inventor and manager of the new company, states that within two weeks 25 machines known as the "Haskins Automatic peanut vender" will be readv for delivery. The factory in the basement of the Crawford building is a busy seen-?. There are now eight men employed and a number of lathes and other machines have been installed in order to carry on the work of making the special alumi num parts of the vending machines. "Prospective buyers write from all over the country," said Mr. Haskins, 'If your machine is what you say it is we will take it in bunches.' Fifty To peka people have expressed the desire of wanting to purchase machines to put out on the streets of the city and in the towns of the outlying districts.

Business Interests of City Well Bepresented. FOR PUBLIC SPIRIT. Purpose of Organization Is to Build It Up. Gives His Creed in Terse, Signif V.," iai-nt Maxims. T. A. Borman, president of the Com mercial club, at the regular monthly meeting of the organization, held last night, characterized the list of the ac complishments of the club since its re organization as reading to -the doubt ing and sleeping "like a story from the Arabian Nights." "I hear an occasional word to the effect that this Commercial club does not represent the city of Topeka," said Mr. Borman. "To controvert- such misstatements, it is necessary only to glance over the list of the member ship and to examine into the methods under which the club is organized: "The by-laws of this club read to the effect that it shall be composed of the business men and others interested in the welfare of the city of Topeka, and is formed for the purpose of pro moting the welfare and advancement of the city. The government of the organization is vested in a board of directors which shall consist of fif teen members, thirteen of whom shall be selected as nearly as mav be from and by the various business classes of the citv. In addition to these thir teen, the mayor of Topeka and one of the members of the board ot coun ty commissioners shall be ex-ofneio members of the board of directors." Continuing, President Borman said: For Good of. City. "It is the principal duty of the club to promote the welfare and advance ment of the. city. This can be done principally through the advancement of the industrial interests. The ac complishments!- along such lines, can only be gradual. It is impossible' for an organization like this to immediate ly awaken the world to the fact that Topeka is the only place for the es tablishment of large industrial enter prises. This club can only foster the business affairs of the citv and assist them in such legitimate ways as the means at hand will permit. "The servants of the club in further ing the industrial importance of a city like Topeka, must act more in the ca pacity of an advertising agency rather than in the nature of an agency which can subscribe money in the purchase of stocks or in the procuring of free Duiiaing sites, or in the subscription of large amounts for attracting and locating business enterprises. "It is more within the province of mis organization to Duild up public spirit, to encourage the use of Topeka products, to encourage the interest of Topeka business men by giving them the right business atmosphere for the growth and extension, for building up city pride and for awakening a feeling among ousiness people that they are advantageously located and encour aged by the support of an enterprising ana loyal community. "Every member of this club who has watched its work and who knows what has been accomplished, and what has been attempted, cannot help but feel that the work of the past year has bea:i worthy of the greatest commendation and worth to each man the proportion or nis money contributed to its sup port. "Your secretary at the annual meet ing, made to you a report of what the new Commercial club had done in its short life, which, to the doubting and sleeping, reads like a story from the Arabian Nights. It is unnecessary at this time to enlarge upon these accem plishments. "Every business man. every property owner, every resident of this town, can well afford $12 per year as his share of the funds needed for the transaction of this work. A ten-minutes" talk with DON'T WANT COMPETITORS PATIENTS. Pain'ess Romine Refuses to Extract Teeth For People Sent to Him By Other Dentists. I wish to inform the people of To peka and vicinity that I positively re fuse to extract any more teeth for people sent to me by my competitors. In the past three months there has not been a day but what from one to five people have called at my offices, claiming that I was recommended by this dentist or that dentist, as a pain less extractor. I do not object to ex tract or fill teeth for any one that ap preciates painless dentistry, but I do not solicit the patronage of any one sent to me by my opponents. I do not need their recommenda tions. My patients are my advertising me dium. Is your dental work painless? There isn't any harm in asking a question of that kind. Besides I would like to know. If it is not, you do not know -the Joy of real painless dentistry. Have you ever heard of my painless method? I presume you have, as nearly everyone within a hundred miles of Topeka has heard of Pain less Romine, the inventor of ANZONE, that which enables him to perform all dental operations pain lessly. But in case you have not learned of my painies method, look into same at-the earliest possible-moment. You have dental work to be done. You don't want to be hurt, and you want your work to be done at prices that you can afford to have your teeth placed in good condition. Before you have your dental work done, call at my office. The problem of your tooth trouble will be solved. Then again your dental work will be guaranteed above my signature for ten years to give perfect satisfaction. Try and consult me the following week. Be one of the many that are leaving my offices enthusiastically pleased each day. Remember the location and name. PAINLESS ROMINE 704 Kan. Ave. Office licrors: S to 6. 12. Evenings 1 to 8. Topeka.

Sundays 10 to Secretary Badders will convince any in dividual who possesses any public spirit at all, that the twelve dollar member ship in this club will return many fold upon, its investment annually. Work on Broad Lines. "If there is a member of this club who feels that he has not realized aj good and sufficient return upon his in-j vestment the past year, it is only fair to such individual to say that he alone i is at fault. Here is the Commercial club organized on broad lines, its work j prosecuted by broad-minded men who have the. best interest of the city ana its people at heart; if down deep in tlw breast of some individual is a feeling that he has been overlooked, that his year's membership has not paid him well, I assure you that in the gizard of such indivdual will be found a grouch. It is only necessary for 'doubting Thomases' to visit this club at noon- i day two or three times per week, meet his neighbor, meet the business men of the city, and go away feeling that he is proud to belong to a membership and and organization, like which, very few so large, so enterprising and successful are to be found in cities of this size. "It is the desire of the present admin istration to secure a membership of one thousand active, paying, public-spirited and time-giving individuals for this club. "During the coming year it will be the aim of your officers and directors and committees, to carry on the work of the club with the same thorough ness and efficiency which has charac terized past administrations. New problems and new conditions arise eacn year. These will have the most wise attention possible. Where precedent has been established and that precedent proven to be wrong, it will be the pur pose of this administration to right the same at the first opportunity. If you have anything you want the Commercial club to do, or you think H is lacking or deficient in some particu lar, pray make your feelings known to the officers of this club and I assure you that every consideration witnn the bounds of wisdom and means wtu be given. President Bornian's Creed. I have picked up here and there th. following few maxims which read well to me, although they may be lacking somewhat in wisdom: Do not aspire to be King of the Beiliakers; there's too much competi tion for the place. "Those who live by the hammer will die by the hammer. Only the dead are satisfied and they would not be if they were con scious of their dissatisfaction. If all would work a little, none would be overworked. The man ho knocks on the Insti tution of which he is a part, is stand ing on the chute swabbing it with erease. "Enthusiasrr. is a lubricant tnat makes the wheels of trade go round a grouch is sand in the bearings. En thusiasm is eitchinsr. "Wrong surtlv exists but we can not right it with a brass Dana. "When thf wnoie piamea woria seems gone to pot, and business is on the bum; a two-cent grin -and a lifted chin help some, my boy, help some." The Committee Report. The committee on state and nation al legislation submitted resolutions against the proposed legislation by congress which would Increase the postal rates on second class mail mat ter. The resolutions which were adopt ed are as given below: "Your committee on state and na tional legislation has had the matter of an increase in second class postal rates under censideration, and submit the following as their conclusions on the subject, and wnicn are nerepy bud mitted to the club for its further con sideration: "Whereas, An advance in rates would cause incalculable injury to every branch of the publishing and nrintine trades of the country, ana would throw thousands of employes out of employment in the various branches of this industry, representing 1 newspapers, trade journals, publish ers, printers, type founders, paper makers, engravers, ink manufacturers, press builders machinery manufactur ers, etc., and enter their emphatic denial that said interests cause any deficit whatever to the revenue of the government; therefore, be it "Resolved. That we hereby register an emphatic protest against any move ment or declaration coming from any source, whicH may have for its pur pose any advance in second class pos tal rates, the effect of which would be to seriously cripple the industry every where and greatly hamper every indus trial development fostered through the instrumentality of publishing and printing. "Resolved, That request be made for suspension of all action in order to give opportunity to submit argument. "Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the presi dent of the United States, the postmas ter general, and to members of both houses of congress, as expressing the views of this club in maintaining the present just rates on second class mail matter." Dr. Crumbine Speaks. The board of directors of the club has decided to secure one or more persons to give an address at the regular meetings of the organization on subjects of general interest. Last night Dr. S. J. Crumbine spoke on the 'Tuberculosis Day Camp," and Judge J. S. West gave a brief talk, on "Public Comfort Stations." "WTe must establish an open air camp," said Dr. Crumbine, "in order to preserve our own firesides. It is authoritatively stated that every con sumptive is bound to infect two other persons before he dies. "I have taken considerable time in studying conditions as they are in To peka. Thirty per cent of the 52 per sons who die in Topeka each year are absolutely doomed to die on account of poverty Physicians know how ut terly helpless they are to combat the disease when they go to them on ac count of their poverty. The patients have not the money with which to buy fresh meat, milk and eggs and other necessities. "Fully 7,180 persons are annually sent out to the southwest from the east, but it should simply be a ques tion of every community taking care of its own consumptives. Consumption can be cured or arrested in any sec tion of the United States. "It is our plan to get 1,000 Chris tioh Brotherhood men to band to gether to raise 25 cents each a month towards paying for a camp that would mean S3. 000 a year. Then once a year a monster entertainment could be given that would bring in another $1,000. "As far as I know there is no other proposition in the world of this kind. It would be known all over the world as the Topeka Brotherhood plan, and would be a good advertisement to the city."

HOSPITABLE TO ALL. Future President Refused Pay From Five "Boarders." How He Kescaed Little Birds From Hard Bain. One evening in June, 1S55, five lioys stood on the streets of Spring field, 111., a little south of the old capitol building. The lads were strangers in the city. They had come from a small town to attend a trial as witnesses. For it was court week in the coun tyseat town, and the place was full of lawyers, witnesses and jurors. As a consequence nearly all of the hotels and rooming places where the youths had asked for lodging were full. .So after a long and tiresome day at the court house where the trial of a j man charged with selling liquor with out a government license, had been in progress, the five witnesses stood on the street corner. They were weary, hungry and dis couraged. It was the first time away irom home for some of them. They Htood and discussed their plight with si 11 of the homesick feeling of coun try boys alone in a large town. Sleeting Lincoln. Meanwhile tha streets were filled with people hurrying on their way home to supper. They passed the ;roup without scarcely a look. But in the throng walked a tall gaunt man. He was over six feet, with long limbs. His rough, dark trousers Btruck him at the ankles. His too phort coat sleeves, revealed long bony wrists. As he came closer to the loys, they could see that his features were rough-hewn and homely. But in that face, there was some thing wonderfully attractive. In stinctively the country lads turned to the approaching stranger.- And in Ftinctively he took in the situation. Perhaps the sight of them recalled to his mind the first time that he, then a raw, green "rail-splitter" was ever in a city. And to his face came a nmile of sympathy and understand ing. "Boys," said the stranger, pausing, "What's the matter? Can't you find a place to stay tonight?" The party told the trouble. "Tallest and Homeliest Man." Then their friend, with an odd twinkle in his eye said: "I know of a place. You just go about two blocks south and then go east about n block, until you come to a story and a half frame house. I think the woman there will keep you, but if she refuses at first, insist, and tell her that the tallest and homeliest man you ever saw sent you." These directions were followed. The woman, a very pretty lady, hesi tated at first, but after hearing the description of the man who had re ferred the boys to her said: "Well, come on in." And when the lads entered they were struck with the appearance of the home. It was scrupulously neat, but had very few chairs or furniture. In a few moments there arrived the name man who had directed them to the house. He turned to one of the It's a funny person who does not appreciate haviner his cloth ing neatly pressed at all times. i This work can be done at a mod erate price if you send your suits -T0- A. W.

"And you must be 'Aba' Lincoln," was the reply. "I remember you now, although I didn't recognize you a few moments ago. I recollect how you used to play 'pirates' with us, and 'prisoners' base.' Parker Corbin, a Friend of Lincoln. Thus the talk went on until sup per time. After the meal the man of the house remarked: "It must be pretty dull here for you young fel lows, but I will invite some of our neighbor girls and boys in. tie aia so and seemed to enjoy the games and fun as much as any of his young guests. Lincoln Refuses Pay. In this way the boys were enter tained for five days. When they left their host would not take any pay. However, a short time afterwards the boys together bought several chairs and sent them to the place of enter tainment by the expressman without any word of who had given the furni ture. But the man of the house knew and wrote a note of thanks to his one time guests. A few years later he was elected president of the United States. His neighbor, the Corbin boy, had enlisted in the Seventy-eighth infantry. He served through the war, taking part in the battle of Missionary Ridge and other important engagements. After tho conflict was over he lived at Quincy, 111., for some time, and then, thirty years ago, went to Great Bend, Kan. Eight years ago he came to Topeka. Today, the 101st anniver sary of Lincoln's birthday, Mr. Corbin, who lives at 104 Stephens street, is telling the story related above, besides many other anecdotes of Lincoln s early life. Lincoln used to play with us boys quite often," said Mr. Corbin. "I was Uttle fellow at the time. Lincoln was in his teens and tall for his age. I think he was six feet or over then. He was as homely as could be, but we all liked him. He was so good na- tured and kind. I do not remember of him ever having a single fight with any of the boys. Rescues Rain-Soaked Birds. "Kind hearted, did I say? He was the best hearted fellow I ever knew. I remember one Incident that Is a good illustration of his kindness. One time he was over at our house when it be gan to rain. The shower washed some young birds out of their nest to the ground. Lincoln saw them fluttering around In the yard. His great heart was touched. Pick ing them up in his big red hands, he tenderly carried them to a sheltered place and cared for them until they were dry. Then, still carefully hold ing the birds in one hand, he climbed the tree and placed them in their nest. "He was as full of fun as he was of kindness. He used to play 'pirates' with us and 'prisoners' base." I tell you, with his long legs he could run some. He enjoyed playing with us while my father and his uncle talked politics in the house. His uncle, Joshua Hanks, lived In a log house in the cen ter of a forty-acre field about two miles east of us. We lived about eight miles west of Quincy then, in Adams county. I was never at Lincoln s boyhood home, but I used to see him studying law. At that time he was clerking in a log store on the banks of the Illi nois river m a little Illinois town. can see the place yet. A cord of wood was piled up on the west side. On sunshiny days, if trade was dull, he would sit perched on that wood study ing a law book. People used to make fun of him then, because he was so fond of books and study.. No one ever dreamed that he would ona day be president of the United States. "As I grew up I lost track of Lin coln until I met him at Springfield as I have described. Then he was prac ticing law. I saw him again when he debated at Springfield with Stephen A. Douglas. At that time he recognized me, and when the speech was over he said: 'That furniture is as good as it ever was." "Again I caught a glimpse of him when he was president. I think he was visiting at Springfield. Was shocked at his death. Indeed I was. I think Lincoln was one of the great est heroes of the age."

Landing on the Island of St. Thomas. Charlotte Amelia a Most Beau tiful City. ONLY TOWN ON ISLAND Streets Remind Him of Stage Scenery. Was Headquarters of Famous Pirate Black Beard. Tuesday, January 25. The sea is as smooth today as I have ever seen it, and the weather is quite warm. Indeed, there is as much com plaint about warm weather today as there was on Saturday about cold weather. Last night, after I had gone to bed, a young man and a young woman sat down in chairs near my door, which I had left open. They were flirting, and I could hear every word they said. They amused me for an hour with their talk, which I imagine is of the kind heard between young people at summer resorts. I did not know who the yopng couple were, and have a curiosity to pick them out. The girl was so coy, and the young man was such a devil: he told the girl how tough he had been, but always inti mated that he was so fascinating that he could not possibly keep out of the scrapes he had engaged in. The talk was so unnatural and tooiisn. i ii Dei the girl has warts on her hands, from the boy's holding them. Judge W'alker sleeps on deck a good deal: he is afraid to go to his reom to sleep, fearing he will miss seeing a whale. So far he has seen nothing more remarkable than flying fish, por poises and what the sailors say was a shark. He said the porpoises looked as though, the ship had scared up a lot of jack rabbits. While he was asleep last night I took the ladies of the Atchison-Leavenworth party up to see the grill room, and they aston ished the stewards by drinking a lem- RED ROUGH HANDS On Retiring One night treatment for red, rough, chapped and bleeding hands, itching,' burning palms and painful finger ends with CUTICURA Works wonders.

The stewards are not ac customed to making lemonades. Dinner tonight at 7 was a very elab orate function. Most of the passengers wore clothing appropriate to the occa sion and an orchestra of eleven men played a program. We were an hour and twenty minutes at the tables. One of the stewards at my table fascinates me; he is so good natured and so dis posed to break into a smile. His name is Anton, and he has just come to this ship from the big Deutschland, which is laying up at Hamburg until the sum mer travel on the Atlantic begins. An ton wears a blue uniform, with brass buttons. The coat is a sort of jacket; anyway, it is very short. The cook ing is about as good as I can imagine. The head cook is a noted man. whose name is given on the passenger list. His name is A. Meyer. I have never been so dull before as I have been on this trip. I wouldn't write anything did I not remember that people used to wonder why War rie Guthrie didn't write more when he was traveling. There has been noth ing to writo about during the four days of the sea trip from New York. Still, when you have nothing to do, there is a good deal to do. There is a man on board who over does politeness and good nature. He came into the smoking room the other night, while wandering around, and was so shocked, and hurried out with so much speed, owing to the liquor, that I have decided he is a preacher. I hear him raving over tne beautiful mornings, and the manner in which ho drinks in the sea breezes annoys me. The elder is also learned; every time I pass him on deck I hear him telling historical facts about the island of St. Thomas, where we are to land at 8 o'clock tomorrow morn ing. There are times when a man should sit down, and be quiet; no one should scatter sunshine all the time.1 When we came up from dinner to night we found a ballroom had been arranged and decorated on the lower i deck, and as I write this the dance is in progress, a big crowd taking part. The moon is shining brightly, and the ship is running along quietly. The weather is as warm as in June at home, and the scene is a very pleasing one. Wednesday, January 26. When I awoke this morning at 6 o'clock, the "Moltke" was entering the harbor at Charlotte Amelia, Island of St. Thomas, one of the Virgin group, so called by Columbus in 1493, as he swept past on his Journey to Santo Domingo. The group comprises about one hundred islands and rocks, and is tropical in character. St. Thomas island is 13 miles long, and three miles in width. Char lotte Amelia, capital of the island, has twelve thousand people, and its harbor Is said to be one of the best In the world, as it is deep and land locked. After an early breakfast, the passen gers were taken ashore by two launches from the ship, each launch pulling two of the big life boats. I have been around a good deal, and have never seen a prettier place than the Island of St. Thomas, and its capital, Charlotte Amelia. Hundreds of people met us at the landing, as the arrival of the ship was made a holiday, and the schools let out. Charlotte Amelia is an important coaling staton, and a good many tramp steamers come In for coal, as many as five in one day, at times. But the ar rival of a steamer with a big load of passengers is an event, and as two came-in today, the schools were let out, and the occasion made a holiday. St. Thomas is controlled by the Danes, but the inhabitants are mostly negroes; their ancestors were brought here from Africa when our own country afforded a good market for slaves.- A majority of these negroes talk English, and I talked with several old negro "aunties" who reminded me of the same class at home. The streets of Charlotte Amelia re minded me of nothing so much as the queer streets of towns you see on the stage. The town is located at the foot Of a mountain, and many of the best houses are located above the main street, and are reached by the most picturesque stairways imaginable. Tropical fruits grow in the house yards along the street. I met a 12-year-old boy at the dock, and paid him 50 cents to walk around with me, and point out objects of Interest. "My mother," he said, "washes and lrqns, and I go to the school." To the left of the harbor, was a valley in the mountains that attracted our attention: after leaving the view, we walked back to look at it again, it was so beautiful. In the distance we could see St. Cruz, another of the Vir gin islands belonging to Denmark, where sugar cane is grown. St. Mar tin, also in sight, is divided between the Danes and French. St. Bart, still another island, covers an area of only eight square miles, with a population of "3,000, and belongs to France. Dur ing the. seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this island rolled in weath. and its port swarmed with vessels of the buccaneers. One of these, Mont bars, made his headquarters at St. Bart, and there is a story that his Ill gotten treasure is still buried about the island. We visited the public market, and found all sorts of vegetables, but In ferior" in size. The peas were of a va riety I have never seen before. The tomatoes were very small looking like warts: I have seen exactly similar tomatoes in Ceylon, in the1 Philippines and in other shiftless countries. The ponies here are also small, as is the case in the Philippines. Dozens of cab THURSDAY. The- "people," who demand a change, open a campaign, for the school men met us at the landing, and there wasn't a respectable horse in the lot; all were small ponies, and poor. The supply of cabs gave out. and a dozen of the men and women of the ship's company hired a one-horse dray, in which they drove about. From a high place, where we walked to look over the town, we could see our ship lying in the harbor. And as we looked, the "Blucher,' the sister ship of the "Moltke," came in. The "Bluch er" sailed from New York the same day we did, but two hours later, for South America. While we looked, still an other steamer, a small freighter, turned the point, and entered the harbor. Charlotte Amelia is a good place for boys to live in: the most marvelous fish are caught out of the sea here, with hook and line. One boy I met had four or five different varieties of fish, all of them beautiful. One variety was of the shape of our bass, but red in color. Everywhere on the streets and in the stores, we saw handsome creole mulatto girls. We saw no white men about, but they have evidently been here. In all the tropical or shiftless coun tries, chickens are small. Where chick ens are small, eggs are also small. The price of eggs in St. Charlotte Amelia, the boy guide told us, is 30 cents a dozen, although travelers are asked 60 cents. A chicken costs 25 cents. Flowers bloom in the open air in Charlotte Amelia the year round. In summer, the weather becomes very hot. "Plenty warm sometimes," said the guide. "When you walk, water runs out of your face.'" One of the pleasing sights here is a flowering tree, with bright red flowers. This tree is seen in all tropical countries. Duck suits sell here at $3 per suit of coat and pantaloons, but not many of the travelers invested, so far as I ob served. A good many, however, bought Panama hats, at $5 each. There are all sorts of stores in Charlotte Amelia, which Is the only town on the island It is supported by the coal handlers, and by the manufacture of bay rum. Why do people buy bay rum? It is stated as one of the advantages of this trip that an excellent quality of bay rum may be purchased at a very low price. We were offered bay rum at ev ery turn in Charlotte Amelia, but didn't buy any. I never bought a bottle of bay rum in my life, and never expect to. One old woman offered to sell us a queer looking plant, "To wash dishes with," the boy guide said. It was a variety of soap weed, and the poor people here use it Instead of soap in washing dishes. The boy guide point ed out a store kept by Smith Bros., and smiled. The Smith joke seems to be known here. Americans are not the only people who know how to clean up tropical towns. Charlotte Amelia Is very clean, or seemed so to me, and in every way delightful. From the bay, the town looks like a German post card picture, printed in bright colors. And the green mountains make an attractive setting for the bright colors of the houses. Before we left the ship, and after we returned to it. the Moltke was fcurroundei wij i.euro divers. They coaxed the passengers to throw coins into the water and then the negroes would dive for them. In nearU" every wwnw a yijaihere s Acv rmnr rto nw in where it is unsafe to buy flour.

Order a sack and you will acknowl edge it is well worth its price and more. 1910. FRIDAY. case, the divers secured the coins. A coin sinks slowly in water, and the divers get under it, and look up. One! of the divers looked exactly like Cor- j bett Collier of Atchison, and called himself "Johnson"; he was always pos ing as a prize fighter, but would in stantly quit posing and dive when a coin was thrown. Some of the divers were boys only 12 or 14 years old. Some of them talked fairly good Eng lish. "Give your country a good name, master," one diver said. When our boats started for shore. the divers followed us quite a distance, bantering us to throw coins into tne water. Once I counted nineteen of these boats on one side of the ship. Each boat contained four or five div ers, and a rower; probably the men in each boat pooled their earnings, and divided. In orre boat sat a lazy negro who held out his hat and tried to induce the passengers to throw coins into it. He amused me so much and looked ui at the passengers in such a winning way, that I determined to invest in his scheme. So I tried to drop a nickel in his hat, but the negro who looked like Corbett Collier pushed the cute scheme into the water, and caught the nickel himself. After that I tried to drop other nickels to the schemer, who had on a coat, but every time I did it, the divers would push him overboard and grab the nickel. The divers wore nothing but duck pants. The boy guide regretted that we could not remain to hear the band play in the public square at night. "Big band," he said, "twenty-eight." But I didn't worry about missing the concert. Usually, the larger a negro band is, the worse it is. The boy guide's name was Orville George, and he had a plaintive, pleasing way about him that attracted us all. He could not tell us much about his school, ex cept that it was free, and was con ducted by Moravians. He took us to a very pretty Catholic church, but said he wasn't a Catholic. All the shops in the town accept American currency without discount. There is a cable office, and the rate to the United States is 96 cents a word. A celebrated character in the his tory of Charlotte Amelia was Black Beard, a pirate, whose residence may still be seen. In the early part of the eighteenth century. Black Beard was the terror of the Caribbean sea. His real name was Edward Teach, and he is represented as a huge man with luxurious coal black beard growing to his very eyes, and so long that he twisted it into small tails, tied with ribbons, and turned the ends over his ears. Teach had so harried the Amer ican main that in 1718 the lieutenant governor of Virginia offered $500 for the capture of the renowned pirate, dead or alive. Captain Maynard, knowing Teach's pride in his fighting ability, dared him to meet him. Teach accepted, simply to enjoy the fight, as he thought he could whip any man alive. In a terrible hand-to-hand en counter. Maynard killed Teach, who received in this singular duel twenty five wounds, five of which were from bullets. Captain Maynard seems to have been a good deal of a bully boy himself. But in reading thi3 story you are reminded that you need not believe it unless you want to. We spent three hours on shore, leaving for the ship in the last boat, at 10:30 a. m. On the way, we pass ed the "Blucher," which was at anchor, and coaling. Its band was playing as we passed, and when we arrived at the "Moltke," our band was playing. Lunch was being serv ed on board when we arrived; sand wiches, fruit and bouillon, from a ta ble on deck. These lunches are served three times a day: in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. In addition, we have three elaborate meals in the dining room. You can get a meal any time you ask for it, by applying to your steward. and he -will serve it on deck, if you prefer. Soon after our arrival at the ship, the two steam launches and the four big long boats, were lifted out of the water, put away on the decks, and in half an hour we were off for Porto Rico. Islands were in sight all af ternoon; some of them not much larg er than school houses. I have never been on a ship which pays as much attention to passengers as this one. Everywhere I hear pas sengers saying, I have the best din ing room steward on the ship," or "My stateroom steward is particularly po lite. Yesterday evening, after din ner, the chief steward held a school of instruction in the dining room, in which he gave the servants instruc tions and advice about pleasing peo pie. Politeness is being boomed more and more all the time. The cruise of the "Blucher," to South America is not very successful according to gossip on board. It has only one hundred and sixty-two pas sengers, although it made arrange ments to accommodate four hundred. A few days before the ship sailed from New York, accommodations for the South American trip were offer ed at half price (according to gossip on board; I know nothing about it myself.) The South American trip lasts three months, whereas the "Moltke's" trip lasts only twenty- eigm days. I see very little wine at the dining tables. Liquor drinking is doomed it is a fool habit the people will get rid of. But while little wine is or dered on board the "Moltke" tha 11 PARSONS SATURDAY. A most successful Y. M. C.

According to an old traveler I met on deck today, that Is the best part of a trip: telling about it, and thinking about it, after you return home. There Is a rumor going about this afternoon that a passenger paid fifty dollars for a Panama hat at Charlotte Amelia this morning. But I also hear that some Panama hats cost seventy five dollars. I bought one today, warranted a genuine Panama, for B. What did I get, if a really good Pan ama hat costs $75? By-the-way, Pan ama hats are not made in Panama, but in Ecuador. E. W. H. TO THE VOTERS I am a candidate for the office of city commissioner, and as I have never broken, into politics before, I take this method of letting you know it. I have many old friends in the city, but the city has grown too fast for me to be come personally acquainted with a ma jority of the voters. My policy, if elected a city commis sioner, will not be tied up with per sonal ideas or prejudices. I will favor any move which will keep up the growth of the citv. Now as to my personal convictions: I think that if Topeka has any prior rights over other cities, or any other legal means of Improving the gas serv ice, they should be enforced. While I do not attempt to place the blame for present city water condi tions, I think that the city commis sioners should guard against such con ditions in the future. I believe that free play grounds for the children should be established and kept up under park management with out taxing parents so much per head on their children as some have sug gested. The -new law provides for a park levy, which will increase yearly as the city valuation increases, and good management of this fund should provide both parks and play grounds. I do not believe that living wages for city employees would necessarily raise taxes, but I believe it more hon orable to raise taxes than to starve city laborers. .1 am in favor of enforcing all laws and ordinances. If elected city commissioner I will work, not only for the furtherance of my own Ideas on the subject, but for whatever I believe a majority of the citizens want, and devote my entire time to it.

12 THE TOPEKA D 4ILY STATE JOURNAE-SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12. 1910. f The Things to Live For. The International Sunday School Lesson for February 13 la "But Seek Te First His Kingdom, and His Righteousness; and All These Things Shall Be Added Unto You.' Matt. 6:19-31. BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS. HIS is a lesson in the ABC of religion. It is the Wise Teacher s calling his pupils back to the simplicities of faith. There are no subtle tips or intricacies here. This is the platlorm of the Kingdom re duced to simplest terms. As ever, tho elemental is seen to be the vital. Here are the essential teachings of life: and the doctrine that this weary, jaded perplexed world, with its care wrinkled face, most needs to learn. This declaration by Jesus of the best life-philosophy is more luminous than any comments upon it, so we extract the lesson passage in full, from the Sermon on the Mount. ."Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust t-onsume, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where thy treasure li, there will thy heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if' thine eye be evil, thy whole body Khali be full of darkness. If there lore the light that fs in thee be dark ness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for eith er he will hate the one and love the other: or else he will hold to one and despise the other. Te cannot serve tlod and Mammon. Therefore I say unto you. Be not anxious for your life what je shall eat, or what yo shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. la not the life more than the food, and the body more than the raiment? Behold the birds ot' the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father i'ecdeth them. Are ye not of much more value thau they? And which of1 you by being anxious can add one cubit unto his stature? And why are ve anxious concerning raiment? Con sider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not ar rayed like one of these. But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Be not therefore anxious, saying. What shall we eat? or. What shall we drink? or. Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gen tiles seek: for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anx ious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is tho evil thereof," Better Than the Mottoes. Contrast these great words with the wall mottoes that we see, in homes and offices. How trivial and inane and inadequate the latter become. AVhy not seek, as a mental and spirit ual exercises for a week, to commit to memory this sublime passage from the i-nmortal words of Jesus? It will make one's faith simpler and cour age stronger. Let us lift up our thinking. Our times are tainted by scrappy, incon sequential and rather vulgar mental processes. We read too many period icals and too few books. Is it not logical and reasonable that we should go, by way of this noble mountainside philosophy, to a loftier, purer concep tion of our daily thinking and read ing? I met an Atlanta business man a few days ago who told me that he had canceled his subscription to a Ions list of magazines, and had taken to reading the great books which time has tested. The names of the volumes he had mastered in a year amazed me: he has been delivered from the possible thralldom of a scrap-basket mind. Of course he gives a first place to the Book of books: no other literature has its power to clarify a man's thinking and to elevate and strengthen his character. We can afford to know less about the machinations of politicians, the banalities of "society," the vulgari ties of professional sport, the gyra tions of the stock market, and the in consequentiallties of much socalled "news" in the engrossing study of the irreat pronouncements of the world's wisest Sage, the most interest-J "is personality, jesus, me isazarene. A Man's Treasures. ."A ship is in the water, that is its power; when water is in the ship, that is, its peril." runs an old comment. Jesus was afraid that those who fol lowed his t.uching might let tho world set into them: of course, he meant them to be in the world. An earth tainted church is a bane: a church tlhged earth Is a blessing. The Teacher established a new society, or party, which was to be governed by worldly standards. He meant that it should have aims above the ordinary. The world is busy in storing up gold; the members of his kincdom should busy themselves in storing up life. The supreme business of Christians is not to get riches, but to get rich in char acter. They are after something big ger and better than corruptiblo treas ures. The point of this preachment of Christ is that a man's life is more that food or raiment or riches. He was not concerned about a man's monev. but about the man. All his teachings go right to the core of things. He saw that treasure represents life; that what a man covets makes the man himself. and that the chief purpose of a man's mind is really the light of his life. Therefore that light should be true and clear. The man who lives for money becomes materialistic; the man who lives for heaven (on earth and hereafter) becomes heavenly. It is all a question of what one loves best and desires most. The teaching about treasure is the same as the teaching about masters. Let the main motive the supreme allegiance be right, and the result can not be seriously wrong. One Mother's Case. 'The solicitude of Jesus that man kind should choose the best is liko a mother's care for her child. This morn ing I received a letter from Asia, from a woman whose life is srent ir. a re mote heathen village, where she and her husband are the sole repreeenta lives of western civilization aud reli gion. Her concern is for her son. an l&-year-old boy who is now a student in the United States. What do you suppose is the special reason for her anxiety? That the- boy is having too hard a time? That he may secure profitable employment? That lite may be easier for him than it is for her and his father-in their lonelv, over taxed existence in the Orient? Far from it. Thi3 mother is distressed be cause her -on, a talented boy, has been offered a position at $100 month in New York City, that may open up to him a career of distinction and pros perity in this land; so that he may be weaned away from his preseni faith, and from his resolution to follow in his father's footsteps as a missionary Is not that a solicitude breathing the very spirit of Jesus? The mother wants the best for her son; and she has proved that the best is not worldly prosperity, but steadfast loyalty to God's highest call. The parents who are anxiously teaching their children to "get on," instead of inspiring them to ri.se up, should con carefully this part of the Sermon on the Mount, North Amer ica does not really need a single addi tional rich man; it can spare a num ber of those it now has; but it does sorely need more men and women in whose hearts the ideals of Jeans are supreme. The leaven that win save our modern life will be these spirits who put Christ first. The Bread aud Butter Question. The high cost of living has forged to the fore as the day's liveliest question. Important as it is. wo must admit that the his;h cost of living is of less con cern than the low grade of life. We are hearing too infrequently just now the battle crv of intellectual progress "High thinking and plain living." High living and plain thinking is more common. Of course. we should straighten out our economic tangles; but it may be submitted that these are of infinitely less importance than the elevation of popular ideals. Once per suade men to put the spirit first, and an immediate consequence would be a brave, wise dealing with these "prac tical" questions. There was the soundest judgment in the exhortation of Jesus to seek the first kindom of God. That way comes all true prosperity. A man's Bible class recently discussed whether a man dare, in these material times, sacrifice his job for conviction's sake, especial ly when he has a family dependent upon him. The judgment of this large company of men of affairs was that it is really the highest form of business sagacity for a man to be true to his ideals. The very demonstration and acquisition of moral fibre which such an action requires increases a man's market value. That sort of heroism leagues one with the sublimest forces of history, of heaven and of earth. The earnest verdict of these world- wise men favored the dictum of Jesus, that "all these things" would be add ed to the person who seeks first the kingdom of righteousness of God. All the resources of the eternal, on earth and in heaven, are pledged to the sup port or sucrt a one. That is the elemental, bedrock faith. Simple trust in God is the best posses sion. It never fails. The evil man may seem to flourish like the green bay tree but his prosperity is not permanent, and it is probably at present more ap parent than real. The spirit that is courageous enou?v to withdraw from the worlds complex allegiances, and to substitute one central, supreme sub mission and motive, is sure to be hap piest and to accomplish the most. Child like trust in God. and manlike disre gard for the trivial and temporal ex actions of an artificial society, will solve all problems. It will not demand of God a daily accounting of all his ways: for ho works irom the stand point of eternity. Such a faith will not be anxious about anything. It will take time to "con sider" the lilies, the birds, the fields, the stars. It will "be in league with the stones of the field." And it will possess a serenity of face and heart which not all the beauty-doctors and masseurs in New York can impart. It vill sweetly live for the things worth while, in the strength of Him whose omniscient preaching is accompanied by His omnipotent power. Terse Comments for February 13, "Bible Texts That Heh Us." Ps. 119: 97-104. BY WILLIAM T. BLLIS. Bead the Vedic literature of Hindu Ism and you admire it in spots; read tho Buddhist sacred writings, and you find admirable precepts; read the Con fucian classics and you find among them many worthy suggestions for con duct. Read the Bible and you find life. Beyond all other literature, and in an utterly unique manner, the Scriptures somehow impart life. They start new spirit-impulses. They make over char acter. So we find that Bible reading nations represent today unquestionably the highest type of civilization in the world. Kvery great thought has lifting pow er: the Bible seems to have even car rying power. The aid- fashioned "promise meeting" can scarcely be surpassed for a devo tional service. When Christians tell, from their own txperience. the portions of God's word which have helped them in times of testing there is a new note of reality in the gathering. The truth of testimony supplements the truth of Scripture. Gladstone, the busy statesman, gave this "rest cure," or secret of peace when distractions perplex and cares en gross: "Amid the crowds of the street the still small voice of the Holy Bible will be heard, and the soul, aided by some blessed work, may find wings like a dove, may flee away and be at rest." The words of the Book point the way lor the believer. Here Is a profound text upon which every educator and leader of the young snouid constantly ponder and frequent ly discourse: "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking teed thereto according to thy word. It a youth will square his life by the old Book, making it the man of his coun sel, he will be delivered from the many and hidden snares of evil. Meditation upon the words of the Scripture purify one's life, ennoble one's thought, broad en one's sympathies and deepen one's life. Humanity's example, when undergo ing his great Temptation, thrust this adversary through, and through with, 1 "II Is written." In life's supreme bat tles everybody needs the sound of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Truth is to be interpreted in the light of experiences.: Not all Biblewords mean the same to all people. Nor do they mean the same to any one person at different period in his growxn. Character DroKressesf from need to need, and the message that was the word in season for youth is not the message for age, with its burdens and sorrows. Still more remarkable is the way Bible Dassasres unfold into larger meanings with fuller experience. The promise which was once prized for its surface meaning becomes tenfold more precious after It has been put to the deep test of need. Nobody has ever outgrown the Bible; nobody has ever really grown up to the level of the Bible. Lamp to my feet! shine forth Into my soul. That I may better see which way I tread In the dark hours and when I lose control Of mine own steps, by vague desires misled. T. W. Parsons. Trust the Bible, not as a fetish or talisman, which you are to be saved by daily repetitions of. but as a cap tain's order, to be heard and obeyed at your peril. John Ruskln. VfitViiner is revealed in the' Bible which cannot be transmuted Into life. H. G- Weston. The old fashion of committing Bible verses to mssmory is perhaps not so common as it once was; although there is undoubtedly a larger' amount of Bible study. There Is much to be said for the stormy of the mind full of the great and beautiful words of Holy Writ in early youth. The entire char acter of a person's speech and thought is influenced thereby. The Bible, that famous "well of English undefiled," has done more to preserve the dignity and purity of the tongue than any oth er agency. If a person reads only tne Bible he is bound to become refined in thought and wharacter In later life, the truths stored away as a mere memoronic exercise become weapons and defenses in the crises of the soul. It is not the truths in the Bible, but the Bible truths In our minds, that help us in emergencies. SEVEX SENTENCE SERMONS.

Thomas Arnold. NEWS AND NOTES. Alarmed bv the aggressions which Islam Is making in Asia and Africa, the missionary leaders are taking steps to counteract and overcome this propa ganda. One move is reported from Germany, where the German Orient mission is to establish a Mohammedan seminary. Its purposes are to train missionaries with the special regard to service among Mohammedan peo ple, and to c-eate a new sort of mis sionary literature for circulation in .aaonammeaar. countries. The students will have to learn Arabic, study the Koran, Life of Mahomet, and the Sufit philosophy. Three of the teachers in the new seminary are converted Mo hammedan mollahs, or priests. One of them is a direct descendant of the prophet. The recent sudden death of Rev. Dr. W. R. Richards of Brick Presbyterian church, removes one of the best known New York preachers.

BOOKLTN, February 6. The iOurth and final meet- r i. doctrinal surrenders neces- was held today, Brooklyn's largest auditorium, th -Academy of Music, being crowded. Pastor C. T. Russell, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, delivered the address as follows: Having vie-e during the past three Sundays what the leading denomina tions would have to sacrifice in the in terest of federation, we come today to the final discussion of this series The Church Militant and Triumphant and her interest n" the federation move ment. Let us endeavor to take so broad a view of this subject that there will be no room for disagreement on the part of true Christians of any de nomination. Unnecessary a sit may be to explain to this large and intelligent audience the significance of our topic. The Church Militant and the Church Tri umphant, I must think beyond the thousands present of the millions who tomorrow wi.l receive reports of this discourse from that great channel or the world's progress, the secular press. Hence I explain that the term Church Militant signifies the church in war fare, struggling with the powers of evil, while the Church Triumphant sig nifies the church victorious, glorious. Joined with her Lord, the Heavenly Bridegroom, as his Bride and Queen in the great millennia: kingdom soon to bles and uplift this world of man kind. I shouid further add tnat wnne in this discussion we have considered the various denominations of Christen dom and their creeds, we must today ignore all human systems and creeds. We must take the broad. general ground of the scriptures and recog nize only one cnurcn. Nor' mav we make the mistake of saying that :he one church is one sect. jNO sect, no denomination, nowever great and influential and numerous and rich, either in sordid or historic wealth, ran be conceded th right to appropriate t'te name which our Lord gave to an truiy nis uiscipies. ourciy none of us is sectarian enough to dis pute this premise. We must learn to recognize the Church of Christ from the same viewpoint as does the Head of the Church. We must learn the force of St. Poter's word to Cornelius, "Of a truth T perceive that God is no respector of lersons, but In every na tion he that feareth him and worketh righteousness is accepted with him" (Acts x, 34, SE). Taking, therefore, the scriptural view of the church we recognize It a3 the "Body of Christ' of many mem bers, over which he i the Head. It is composed of consecrated followers of Chrirst irrespective of all denomina tional lines hose whe, turning from sin, accept J?sus a stheir Redeemer, through whom they have forgiveness of sins and reroncilliation to the Fath er those who have become disciples of Christ, taking up their cross to fol low him and who have received the begetting of' the holy spirit. Who could disoute that these are the Church of Christ? Who shah say that they must belong to this communion or that, or lose heir relationship to the Head, Christ Jesus? The apostles nev er referred to Baptist Christians, Methodist Christians, Catholic Chris tians, PresbytCTian -Christians, etc., but merelv to these whom we have de scribed and whom they styled saints "the Church of the living God, whose names are written in heaven" I Hebrews xii, 23; I Timothy iii, 15V. Let us keep strictly within the lines of God's word and avoid the errors of the grow at last Into a swelling tide of heavenly harmonies, whose grandeur thrills and enthralls' our inmost being, so the life of God I the human soul may rise to unimagined richness and fullness. Rev. Austen K. De Blois, Baptist, Chicago. CHARACTER A BYPRODUCT. Ennobled and enduring character i cannot De directly made, it is a by product of useful, practical activities. Men strive to A.e good and true in their daily lives. The surprising result Is that glorious manhood that Is the final effect of &-ch, living. What men think, purpose, do, that they become. Rev. A. B. Beresford, Universalist, Cincinnati. HOW TO WIN VICTORY. The Christian church. If it be true to its Lord, must first heartily believe and then proclaim its faith that not by might nor by power, but by the spirit, are victories won. The task that is set before the people is to pre pare for themselves the weapons with which the great contests are fought and by which they are decided. Rev. Lewis T, Reetl, Congregational ist, Brooklyn. HOW TO BE HAPPY. The spring? of happiness are within. They are moral and spiritual i their nature. It is hard for the mother in her round of trivial duties, for the teacher in tho wearying monotony of the schoolroom, for the workman in the deadening routine of daily labor, to be buoyant and happy. But all can be if they will, and they ought to will so to be. We must draw our resources from ourselves, filled with the spirit of God. who wills our happiness. Bishop Samuel Fallows, Reformed Episcopal, Chicago. PROTECTOR OF THE WEAK. The true religion is that which rec ognizes, helps and protects the weak, too much is i. the spirit of the times that might is always right and the weak are always wrong. The prin ciple of .conduct is best illustrated among the nations of the earth. The Jeish religion does not teach such rules. Christianity teaches to pity the eak. Judaism teaches to help the eak so they may become strong. It is our belief that civilization is no stronger than the eakest. Dr. Emil G. Hirsch, Hebrew, Chicago. CHRISTIAN AMITY. The unity of prayer and worship is just as essential to man as his labor union Is. Man needs the incentive and help that come from congregational worship. If he is a true man he also is glad when they say to him, "Let us go into the house of the Lord." Un les sa man wants to lose his grip on the real things of life let him see to it that he meet his brother men in the house' of God Let him hold to this fact: He meets his companions in his social hours to become better ac quainted, to weld more closely his ties of friendship. Can he find anywhere a better plac? to become acquainted with himself and his God than in the church of Jesus Christ' There Is spir itual strength in Christian amity. Rev. Alexander S. Taylor, Reformed Episcopal, Chicago. FEDERATION VALUE The Church Militant's Surrender to the Church Triumphant "Say ye not, A Feneration, to all them to whom this people shall say, A Federation; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid" (Isaiah Yiii, J2). past. Let us today consider this church as the Church Militant and prospect ively the Church Triumphant. Tho Church Militant. If we" all agre that we have before our minds the real church, the church of the New Testament, let us notice that there Is a nominal church also and that we are not competent to fully determine which are the real and which are the nomina. Chrisians ex cept by the test, which our Lord has given "by their fruits ye shall know them." Whll- the reai church of fully consecrated believers, faithful to the Lord and his word and the principles of righteousness, is represented by a very small number, there Is "a nominal church related thereto as is a shell to the kernel of a nut. The nominal church includes those whose manner or whose attendance on worship im plies a relationship to Christ without having gone the length of a full faith acceptance of him in sacrifice, perhaps withoout having fully turned from sin even in their Hearts, and without hav ing made a full consecration to serve the Lord. This nominal class may be subdivided into believers who are fav orably disposed toward Christ and righteousness: others who regord the church as nv-rely a moral club de signed for social and moral benefit or influence upon the world, by counter acting sinful influences; still others, bitter at heart, sinful and selfish, hav ing no faith whatever in Jesus and no care whatever for morality and us ing the name of Christ hypocritically, merely as a garment to deceive, that they may the better g-ain their ends. Thus we find the nominal" church to consist of: (1) Hypocrites; (2) Moralists; (3) Indifferents; (4) Seekers after godli ness; (5) The true church, "the sanc tified in Christ Jesus' (I Corinthians, i, 2) "members df the Body of Christ" prospective members of the Church Triut-phant Fightings Witont and Within. Every member of "the church of the first born" was called "to suffer with Christ" that he may be also later glori fied with him in the millennial king dom. Only those who will stand the test of faithfulness under sufferings, trials, "crosses self-sacrifices, have the promise of sharing with Christ the glories of the Church Triumphant. "If we be dead with him, we shall also live with him; if we suffer with him weshal I also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us" (II Timothy ii, 11, 12). But why should the church fight? Is she not commended to live peace ably with all' Are not Christians ex horted to war not with carnal weapons and to be smitten on both cheeks, rather than to return evil for evil? Where, then, comes in the fight? Who are the "foes f Surely none would as sail a non-resistant! We reply that the facts do not bear out that suggestion. Our Lord and his apostles were peacable and non-resistant, obedient to kings and laws, and yet they suffered violent deaths, as well a sstripes and Imprisonment. They had thoi- names cast out as evIL And those who persecuted and ma ligned them verily thought -that they did God servee. All who follow in the Lord's footsteps must expect simi lar treatment, because, as Jesus said, "The servant is not greater than his Lord." Marvel not, if the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you If ye were of the world, the world would love his own; but be cause ye are not of the world, but I have chosen von out of the world, therefore the world tiateth you" (John 'xviii. IS, 13). The Maeter said, "Thei BANQUET HAMS Are Not the Ordinary Kind In curing ordinary hams some packers at several times during the process force the pickle into the ham by mechan ical process, thus hastening the completion of the finished product, but greatly deteriorating same, making? it salty and tasteless. BANQUET HAMS are never "pumped," but lie in a mild pickle of our secret formula for about 75 days, when they are smpked in the old fashioned way with hickory wood. They are all U. S.

BROS. darkness hateth the light," which ex plains why the chief religionists of his time, being of wrong condition of heart, instigated his crucifixion. They were of the darkness living outwardly holy, while in heart they were far from consecrated to t God. The very holding up or the torch of Truth was painful to' them,, reproved them and excited their r-tnimosity. Notwithstand ing the fact t: at heretic rroasting has become unpopular and intolerable to the world, there are methods of pri-1 vately and symbolically roasting, slashing, wounding and killing prac ticed by those estranged from God, though sometimes' highly esteemed of men and wearing vestments only slightly less g'orious than those 'worn by Caiaphas and Pilate. "Who Scoursreth Everv Son." The scriptures explain that there is a two-told reason why Jesus and all of his followers are required to suffer lor righteousness' sake. 1) It is requisite to their own char acter development that they should not only profess nbsolute loyalty to God and to truth, but that this loyalty should be put to the test. Thus we read of our Lord that though "holy, harmless, undtfiled," he was proved perfect in his loyalty by the things which he enlured by his obedience even unto death, even the ignomin ious death of the cross The same prin ciple, the scriptures assure us, operates in connection with all whom God Is now calling tr be Kmmanuel's associ ates in the millennial kingdom. They must suffer with him if they would reign' with him. They must walk in his steps (Gallatians v, 11; vi 12; II Thessalonians i. 5; II Timothy i, 12; ii, 9, 12; iii. 12). (2) These experiences are designed of God to qualify us to be Judges of the world during the millennial age that the Christ, Head and Body, may be merciful and faithful towards the people of earth. Likewise it is proper that the world should know that its judges have .hus been tempted and tried, and are able to sympathize with them in their weaknesses and in their endeavors f6r righteousness and more willing to help them up. up. up to hu man perfection than to consign them to the second death. Although this conflict has lasted for more than eighteen centuries it has not been long for any single individual. With the Master himself the trial period was only three and a. half years. On he whole, as compared with eternity, the entire gospel age of sacrifice, as the Master said, is but "a little whih And as far as the af flictions and tastings themselves, St. Paul gives tho proper thought, saying, that at most they are "light afflictions but for a moment and not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us," the overcomers (Romans viii, 18). The Cbureh Triumphant. The church in glorv and in power will contain no hypocrites and no merely nominal Christians only the true, the saintly, the "sanctified in Christ Jesus." Nevertheless It will be composed of two classes, as illustrat ed by the Pr'ests and the Levites in the type. (U Jesus glorified, tlie anti typical high priest, and his faithful footstep followers, the antitypical un der priest otherwise his "Bride." Together these are styled a royal priesthood or a kingdom of priests. St. Paul tells us that Melchizedek, who was a priest upon his throne, merely typified the Church Triumphant Head and Body Tae Chris?, "A priest for ever after the order of Melchizedok" a priest upon his throne. During the millennial a?e, that glorious priest, head and members, will bless and up lift, rule and judge, the world of man kind, with a view to recovering as many as possible, as many as will obey him, from the luin of sin and death. During the thousand years of the Melchizedek reign all the families of the earth will be blessed with op portunities of return to human perfec tion and to earthly paradise The willing and obedient will be destroyed in the second death. At the close of the millennium. Chrirt's mediatorial kingdom will terminate As the Levites-were much more nu merous than their brethren, the priests, so there is another class in the church corresponding -etyled "a great company, whose number no man knoweth' in that they were not spe cially predestined. These less earnest, less zealous than the faithful "little flock," will reach a plane of glory through tribulation also, but with less joy. These, we are told, will be with the Bride as her companions. As Levites they will serve God in his tem ple, but not he members of the tem ple class. thH priesthood. These will have palm brinches and be before the throne, while the royal priesthood will have crowns and be in the throne as members of the Body of Christ.

St, Topeka,' Kan. periencing fightings without and with in against the powers of sin and dark ness and their own weakness, surely long for the tme of their "change" in the "First Resurrection." They long for the time when this mortal shall put on immortality; when this cor ruptible shall have put on incorrup tlon; when we shall be like our Re deemer and s:'e him as he is and share his glory. Gladly, therefore, do all of God's consecrated people wait for the blessed change promised at our Lord's second coming, when that which is sown In weakness shall be raised in power; when that which is sown in dishonor shall be raised in glory; when that which is sown an animal body shall be raised a spiritual body (I Corinthians X'V 4S-44, 68. 54). Surely such, havin prayed, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as in .-eaven," arc waiting for the king and God's time for estab lishing his X'ngdom for the blessing of the world. No wonder the apostle wrote of these, "Ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the spirit, even waiting for the adoption, to wit, tho redemption of our Body" -the Body of Christ, the church, through the power of the "First Resurrection" change. This will be oar glad surrender to the Church Triumphant, when we shall hear the Master's voice saying, "Well done, good ar.d faithful servants; en ter ye into the Joys of our Lord. Tou have been faithful over, a few things, I will make you ruler over many things" participants in the millennial kingdom glory and its dominions of earth for the uplifting of mankind (ICorinthians vi, 2; Revelation 11, 29). Vniop or Federation Which? I ask you, my hearers, and indirect ly I ask the millions of my larger con gregation whom I address weekly through the public .prints What ad vantage will accrue to the Church Mil itant through the on-coming federa tion? I replv that great advantage will come to the saintly few, not in the manner expected, but along the lines of the divine promise that "All things shall work together for good to them that love God to the called according to his purpose." The church federa tion, which ihe scriptures distinctly show ua wil1 be effected, will include -the various classes already indicated: 1) Hypocrites;' (2) Moralists; 8) Followers afar oft; (4) Saints. But in the federation the moralists and higher critics will be dominant forces. The saintly will less than ever be in evidence and appreciated. The outward and apparent success of the federation will seem wonderful for a moment, but the results will be dis astrous. The saintly few, guided by God's word and holy spirit, will awaken to the true situation and become separat ed from the nominal mass. Their mis guided hopes as respects the bringing about of a spiritual kingdom on earth will be thoroughly shattered, and, more than ever, thfcy will look to the Lord, as the source of help and wait for his kingdom to come through the Re deemer's advent and the resurrection "change." In a word. Gad's saintly people need no outward federation, even as they need no credr.. fences. Bo far as these are concerned, the sooner all barriers between them are leaped and they come together as members of one body, joined to the one heavenly head and Lord, the better. Let Churehian.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12,1910. 1S BOWSER He Gets Shoulder to Boxing nRS. 3owser," began Mr. Bow ser the otner evtums they had finished dinner, "have you noticed anything strange about me lately?" "Nothing so very strange. wag the reply. "Haven't vou noticed that when i put on my coat or overcoat I wince a little?" "No "Some wives would have noticed it flays and days ago, but you are all wrapped up in yourself. "Well, let it go that you wince -what of it?" "Never mind. If you haven t no ticed it we wiil drop the subject. "We will do nothing of the kind. If you wince there must be a reason for it, and I want that reason. Are your knees giving out under you? "No, ma'am, my knees are all right. I haven't arr;ved at helpless old age yet." "Is it a stiff neck? If so I'll put a mustard plaster on tonight." "My neck is all right." "Then what is it? If there is any one wincing around I fully sympathize with them. Do you wince all over, or only in one spot?" "1 don't like your -..-ay of talking, Mrs Bowser, but at the same time I will' tell you ihat I wince through the shoulders. Tcu know I got this way couple of yoars ago. Any motion of the arms takes me in the shoulder muscles. It is not only inconvenient and somewhat painful, but it may lead to serious results. For instance, sup pose a man on the street car steps on my toes?" "Then ask him to step off." "Suppose I do and he refuses?" "Then tell him that you are Mr. Bowser." "But suppose he says he don't care who I am?" "Well?" "Well, there would be no recourse, but to hit h'm. If I was shouldre bound how could I do it? I don't want to lug a gun around with me," "I see. Y)ur position would be rather embarrassing. You couldn't hire him to btep oft your foot and step on some one else's, could you?" Mr. Bowser glared at her a moment, but her innocent look disarmed him and he said: "What I propose to do is to limber up my shoulders as soon as possible. I may get into a row any day. Be sides I don't i roposc to go around wincing." BANC THt B&UU? "You have consulted some cele fcrated doctor, I suppose?" "No ma'am. I haven't. I have con suited Professor Mike Dunkaven. If you remember, he gave me a few les sons when I was shoulder bound be fore. He wi.l be here this evening and bring the gloves and we can use the attic lor a gym. "Well," replied Mrs Bowser after a bit. "I am sure I have no objections. I hope the boxing will cure you. "It's bound to bound to. I figure that five lessons will do the trick. It will be $5 n lesson, but what will that be compared to the bill a doctor would send in' There'd be massage and liniments and goodness knows what else, and here it s straight $5 a les son. I propose to make the professor look out for Ills lau els before we get through. I am glau you see this thing the way I do. I rather thought you would look upon it as a sort of fad. "Oh, no. If you are shoulder bound you must get your shoulders unbound come way. If you want to go up and light the gas and get ready for the professor I'll show him up when he comes. "Will you? By John, but you are the right sort or a wire to have! Mrs. Green would raise Cain if Green want ed to do a little boxing. She thinks that loaferism and boxing go to gether." "Yes. she's peculiar about those things. There is a promise I want you to make me. however two of them. If you become an expert boxer you won't engage in a prize fight for money, win you? "What? Me, Mrs. Bowser, In a prize fight? You needn't be afraid of that. I may scrap with some of the Gay Old Boys at the club for fun, but you needn't worry about the rest. What's the ocher promis?" "Alt. Bowser, t are as. impetuous m RETURNS Bound and Returns for a Cure man. When vou get excited you are a hard person to hold back." "Yes, I guess I air.." grinned Mr. Bowser. "I nee now what you are after. You are afraid I will get ex cited and knvck the professor's block oft. They call the head a block." "But you won't, will you?" "No, not quite. When my shoulders begin to loosen I'll give the professor all he wants to do to keep away from me, but I won't knock him out. That is, I won't ti'l the last lesson." Mrs. Bowser said that was ever so sweet and kind of him, and Mr. Bow ser went up to the attic to prepare his shoulders for the coming event. Fifteen minutes later Professor Dun kaven rang the bell. He had a plug hat on his head and a green bag be side him. Hip head was under his hat and the boxing gloves were in the green bag. He was already to be shown to the attic, hut Mrs. Bowser asked him to sit down for a moment. Thereupon tV.y entered into a confi dential conversation which the report ers have not got onto yet. The con versation included Mr. Bowser's shoul ders the processor the boxing gloves a sum of money, and something to happen 15 minutes later. "It can be done, can it?" asked Mrs. Bowser at last. "Oh, yes." "And it won't hurt much?" "Not so much as pulling a tooth." "And then his shoulders will be all right?" "Perfectly ?o, ma'am. I have never known it to fail." "And what remedies shall I have at hand?" "Just put the camphor bottle under his nose. If he is a little light head ed give him a drink of wine." The professor was shown the way to the attic, and he found Mr. Bowser prepared and waiting. Mrs. Bowser crept up the stairs far enough to keep the run of events. They donned the mitts. They squared off. They danced around for a moment. Then there was a fall. Two minutes later the professor ap peared and smiled and nodded and was let outdoors. Then Mrs. Bowser ascended to the attic with camphor and wine and sat down by the i rostrate and shoulder bound man and took his nead in ner lap and put the camphor bottle to his nose. He snored and slept, but final ly opened his eyes and struggled to a sitting position. "Did I kil: him?" he asked In a hoarse whisper. Oh. no, replied Mrs.' Bowser. "But where am I what is it?" "You are in your own comfy little attic and the professor has departed." Ana I knocked I knocked "Oh. no. you didn't. It was the professor that knocked your block off. The block is rhe head you know, but we old sports say block. How are the shoulder bound blades?" Never a word did Mr. Bowser an swer. He drank the wine and when wobbly' knees would permit he fol lowed her down to the sitting room and fell on the lounge, and in two minutes was fast asleep. Mrs. Bowser looked at him in a sympathetic way for several minutes and then took up her book and murmured: "Poor Mr. Bowser! But then some body might have stepped on his foot In the street ?ar!"

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that .great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. Societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals ought to be pro testing vigorously against the meat boycott. It la certainly hard on the dogs of a family. Prospects for the conservation of the nation's resources are not very encouraging just now, thinks Gifford Pinchot. Of course not. He's not on the Job now. A word from Dn Fletcher about the performance of the Washington Ian, who ate 50 pounds of food in two and three-quarters hours and still lives, would be interesting. After having served a term as vice president of the United States the prominence which Mr. Fairbanks has recently achieved must be a rare and thrilling experience for him, thinks the Chicago Record-Herald. In the plans which are being made for the reception to Colonel Roosevelt when he lands on United States soil egaln, it is to be hoped the committee in charge will not be so careless as to fail to have the band play "See, the Conquering Hero Comes." Mayor Gaynor of New Tork now looks good to Missouri Democrats as possible presidential timber. Where do Champ Clark, former Governor Folk, D. R. Francis and a few other Missouri notables come in? Surely the Democrats of Missouri are a fickle lot. Now if Sam Gompers had only been a member of the United States senate the decisions and orders of Judge Wright of the supreme court of the District of Columbia would not have occasioned him a particle of worry. He could have laughed at them. The commendation given by Attor ney General Jackson to the Kansas Btate board of medical registration and examination for the fight it has been making against "quacks" was to the point. A real service is being rendered to the people of the state by these activities. Another candidate for the honor of toeing styled the meanest man alive has bobbed up In the person of a store keeper at Washington. Pa. Noticing a rapid shrinkage in his bag of peanuts he placed a steel spring rat trap In ii which succeeded in grabbing the fingers of one of the most prominent residents of the town. Five hundred more workmen for all kinds of skilled and unskilled labor are needed in the Santa Fe shops in this city. Assuredly few other towns in the country have the opportunities for employment that Topeka is now able to offer. And it is Impossible to beat Topeka as the most desirable sort of a place to labor and live In. This looks suspicious that a South Polar controversy is slated for the immediate future. The captain of a chip who reports he was in commun ication with the French South Polar expedition which started for Anarctic regions about two years ago, refuses to give out any information he may have obtained as to the results of that expedition. Accoraing to Roger A. Babson. a New Tork economist, the United States will be in the throes of a dis astrous financial panic in 1912, By that time the congressional wise acres ought to have a reformed bank lng and currency system in working order which will be capable of han dling any financial panic that might care to develop. The propos-d Income tax amendment to the federal constitution has been ap proved by the senate of Illinois by a vote of 40 to 0. That's not so bad for a starter and it shows that the solons of Illinois did not put much stock in the alleged defective feature in the form of the proposed amendment which was pointed out the other day by Governor Hughes of New York. Lawyers are ever being criticized for the fees they demand when the opportunities are ripe but such criti cism surely cannot te levelled at a certain Chicago attorney. He advised a woman to marry a man on his deathbed. She did so. In a couple of hours she became the mistress of a fortune worth $400,000. And the lawyer in question is only asking S3, 500 fee for his services. There is nothing unusual about the report of Dr. Lamb, head of New York's famoua asylum for the crim inal Insane, to the effect that many of the inmates of that institution have never exhibited any evidences of In sanity. It is a common occurrence all over the country for persons charged with crime" to work the in sanity dodge so they can cheat the law. But this much can be said to the credit of New York state. When it gets a fellow like that in Matteawan It manages to keep him in confine ment whether he is insane or not. A SATURDAY SERMON. So she gleaned in the field until even and beat out that she had gleaned; and it was about an ephah of barley. Ruth II 17. These words of the text tell of the laborious endeavors of Ruth to gain a living for herself and her mother-in-law, Naomi, with whom she had cast her lot for a no more compelling reason than that Naomi was an aged woman who was sorely In need of help. Naomi had no claim on Ruth's assistance. The latter was only her daughter-in-law and might well have gone to her own family and friends without subjecting herself to any unfavorable criticism, just as the other widowed daughter-in-law, Orpah, had done. But Ruth was made of greater stuff. She traveled with Naomi back into a land that was strange to her. and took the first work at hand to earn them a livelihood. It was the hardest kind of work, too, and humiliating because it denoted the direst of poverty. She followed the reapers in the fields and by patient and minute labor she gathered the kernels of grain they dropped. Working from early morning until late at night she managed to pick up an ephah of bar ley, a measure containing a trifle more than three of the pecks of today not an exceedingly large return for such a hard day's work but one which show ed that the worker had been tirelessly diligent. It was enough, though, to keep Ruth and Naomi beyond the realms of want, for the fare tn those days was frugal and the actual neces sities of life were meager. Naturally, a girl who displayed such kindliness of heart, such a willingness to bend her back in toll for the aid of another, attracted considerable atten tion, even among the personages of high estate. One of these, and the wealth iest of them allhapened to be the man, Boaz, by name, in whose field Ruth had gleaned. He was also a dis tant relative of Naomi but had turned no. hand to help her in her distress un til the doings of Ruth came to his ob servation. When Boaz learned of Ruth's behavior and had demonstrated to him that she, also, was a woman of virtue, he sought her in marriage and she be came his wife. That was the highest honor that could be conferred on a woman in those days, and the occa sions were rare, indeed, when a man of property and position would deign to look with honorable eyes on a wo man who was so humble and poor that she had to eke out her living by pick ing up the crumbs of the fields. So, Ruth's reward for her tenderness of heart, for her generosity and willing ness to help and comfort another who was unable to help her, for her tenacity to high moral Ideals, was great. Hers was a romance of romances. The story describing it Is one of the greatest idylls of family life that has ever been written. And the lesson it conveys Is rot applicable only to girls and wo men. It can be applied quite as pertinently to boys arid men. To' do one's duty voluntarily as it presents It self; to work earnestly at whatever the hands may find to do; to share the re sults of one's labor with those who are reedy; to maintain the highest possible standards of life no matter how mod est the portions may be or how lowly the surroundings these are the char acteristics that will attract the atten tion of- those who are in a position to make the eventual rewards of life worth while. SCHOOL REFORM. Believing that there is much room for improvement in the administration of the affairs of the schools of the city. In cluding a rearrangement of the curric Ulums in several essential particulars. representative men and women of the city are working along the only lines that can be pursued to bring this about. They have launched a campaign for an out and out change in the per sonnel of the school board. If they are successful In it the first and most im portant step towards their aims will have been made. The present school board has been constituted just about as it is now for several years. Its members have built up and developed the present methods in vogue in the schools of Topeka. There is no good reason to believe that any arguments could be presented to them which would make them change their ideas in these premises. There fore, if desired changes are to be made in the schools the start will have to be made with a change in the make-up of the board of education. The campaign which the women propose to make for such changes will therefore be an in teresting one. And it ought to be suc cessful. There is no disposition here, nor should there be in any quarter, to In sist that the schools of Topeka are to tally inefficient in their endeavors and their accomplishments. Indeed, the To peka schools rank high with the other public schools of the country. The trouble is that the public school system throughout the land has not been de veloped in the best possible way during the past few years. The need for a change is apparent on all sides. The schools of other cities are coming in for quite as much criticism from their patrons as are those of Topeka. This can be ascertained by a perusal of th? daily papers that are published in all sections of the country. The main fault appears to be that the schools are, not broad enough in their scope, particularly the high schools. It is all right for high schools to provide a classical, or semiclassical education for those pupils who desire to continue such studies in colleges. But such courses of education should not be made the standard for all the pupils. There should be equally comprehensive courses for those pupils who are not planning to take up any of the profes sions but who plan to enter the busl- ness world as soon as they graduate. And the existing courses in manual training and domestic science should be developed along purposeful and useful lines, with more practicability and less theory injected into them. There has long been an opinion pre valent among the taxpayers that the board of education is extravagant and that a more economical administration would not cripple the schools. JOVRNAL ENTRIES Violations of the laws of nature always come in for punishment. The wiser the man the more pecu liar are his ways, as a general thing.

Many people would not need any great quantity of time to tell all they know.

The vermiform appendix appears to be of no advantage to any one ex cept the Burgeons. It is the experience of those who have tried them that the cheaper cuts of meat are also tougher. J A YHA WKER JOTS "Many a man who prides himself on being aggressive," says Mack Cretcher, "is only quarrelsome." "You are rich," observes the Jewell County Republican, "when you quit wishing you had more." In answer to the query, "How long will an egg keep good in cold storage?" the Wichita Beacon guesses: "Until It is sold to the consumer." "We heard some of the old settlers talking recently about the time when they ate fried eggs for breakfast," reports the Marquette Tribune. Charlie Blakesley declares that the members of the Wow Wow club of Gar-' rett are "doggedly" keeping secret the significance of the name of their or ganization. "If people were not permitted to talk unless they have something Important to say, most of us would have to learn the sign language," remarks the Sedgr wick Pantagraph. t Arkansas City has organized a Twen ty Thousand club. And the Kansas City Star is mean enough to point out that according to the last census it has only 12,776 left to go. Referring to one of Its correspond ents the Winfleld Free Press says: "Mr. McDermott has a facile and trenchant pen." And Just a common, old, ordi nary pencil is the best that the aver age newspaper worker can afford. One o the questions asked at a teachers' examination in northern Kan sas, which was held 'the other day. was: "What is a manikin?" And one of the answers was: "A manikin is something to clean the finger nails with." A line across the front page of the Bonner Springs Chieftain proclaims: "Every line of this paper is printed at home." That being the case, a. Leaven worth editor wants to know why the proprietor of the Chieftain keeps an of fice downtown. It was recently related by the Wich ita Beacon that a woman stepped up to a counter at a ipure food show where girls wore demonstrating and selling face cream. "Madam," asked one of the girls, "may I show you some cold i ream?" And with a smile of satisfac tion the woman answered: "No, thank you, we keep a cow." "The wisest man I ever knew," Bill Sincaller is quoted by the Vinland Vine as saying, "knew nothing. He had a wise look, and the only sense he had was the sense of keeping his mouth shut. His wise look increased with age, and he came to be an oracle without having oracled anything. For a quar ter of a century he held his peace, but a dish at a dinner was his undoing. At a dinner the wise man sat in all the mystery of his solemn -silence. There happened to be shrimps, and as that was mentioned his face lighted up. There was a hush as if the Great Mo ment had arrived when the wise man was going to speak. He did speak. He simply said, 'Them's me.' It was a sad break of an owl like silence, and it fixed the man." GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Only those who don't believe In love can talk about It without becoming silly. Every good husband is what is known amonsr women as a "great baby." There are some people who express their sympathy for a man in order to gossip about his troubles. Literary Note: No one reads Charles Dickens any more: There are na chauffeurs in Dickens' works. It would add something to the peace and tranquillity of the world if self satisfied creatures were only as easily pleased with the rest of us. Opportunity comes In many ways, but, up to date, no one has encountered it while earnestly gazing at the new moon over his right shoulder. The man who has found out that he himself is to blame for most of his trouble has learned an important and useful fact overlooked by a lot of peo ple.' Talk about a gold mine: An Atchi son doctor ha3 found a woman patient who has all Kinds of money, and im agines she has seventeen different dls eases. What has become of the old fash ioned parent who took his child to a funeral, ana uitea it up ior a iook iu the coffin, that it might realize the power of death? It is easy for a lover to remember his girl's likes and disnkes, out arter he is married the only way way his wife can make an impression on his memory is to want the cheapest. girl? This may seem unimportant, but In endiner valentines, should a pic ture of a girl be sent to a boy, or to a the "philosophers have always insisted that it is the unimportant things that count. When a host and his wife stop being polite to each other before a guest it is a sign the strain has been too great upon them, and that the guest should be going nome. An Atchison girl, who has always longed to live in tne country mat sue miirht walk out in the early morn and pick roses still wet with the dew, is engaged to marry a farmer, and he has promised her folks to make the awakening easy by not asking her to slop the hogs for at least three months. REFLECTIONS OP A IiACHTXOR, From the New York Press. Money could do a lot more for a man If he wanted it to do less. The reason a man has faults is that if he didn't they would be vices. There's more brotherly love in a kind word than In a truckload of tracts. KAIfSAS COMMENT BUYING BY TELEPHONE. James J. Hill put his finger on the spot recently when he said that the telephone has led the modern house wife into ways of extravagance. it is bo easy to telephone to the grocery now days that every woman who has a telephone in the house uses it, and every woman who does not, uses her neighbor's telephone. xne old fashioned habit of going to market and buying what the family needs is almost an extinct operation. When the woman calls up over the phone, she says something like this:. i want a dozen eggs, and 20 cents worth of steak, and a bunch of let tuce, and a can of cocoa, and a half dozen oranges." wine times out of ten the woman doesn't know the price of a single ar ticle she orders. She doesn't know what the grocer has in stock. She doesn't know whether eggs are high or low the day she buys. ne doesn't know whether there Is anything on the market that day which is especially cheap. If she wants a sack of flour,' she waits till she runs out to order it, in stead of keeping posted on the mar ket, and buying flour when it can be bought cheap. It is only when the bills come in that the. woman realizes that she has been running up a lot of expensive items, and then the custom is to blame it on the grocer and the "high price of living." The telephone is to blame. It is too easy to order things. It is too much trouble to keep posted on prices, it is too much bother to walk to the store and really know the mar kets. The telephone is a great Institution, and we couldn't possibly get along without it. But Just think it over, and see if the telephone is not to blame In at least a part, for some of those big grocery and meat bills. Salina Journal. THE POSTAL QUESTION. There is a great deal of nonsense on both sides of the discussion now being rougnt out Derore congress, with refer ence to the postal rates on magazines. The charge that the investigation has anything to do with a punishment of magazines for the outspoken criticism of conditions Is wrong as It applies to the president's suggestion, which Drought up the subject for investiKa.- tion. The president in his message merely called attention to the fact that the government Is carrying for one cent a pound mall matter for whose trans portation the cost is nine cents a pound. But the suggestion that the rate should be increased was short sighted, in view of the many other possible methods by which the postal department, might overcome its deficit. The claim that the government is paying the railroads entirely too much. by comparison with what the express companies pay, the claim that the gov ernment should charge up the franked mall In Its account of scheduled earn ings, and the claim that there should be more business-like economy in all departments deserve to be heard im partially without charge on the one hand that the government is trying to muzzle the press, or on the other hand that a much-raking press has brought punishment upon it. a representation that all classes of publications should pay their full way through the mails does not carry con viction with it, since the postal depart ment was not founded on that theory. Ottawa Herald. FROM OTHER PENS PEACE TRIBUNALS. The failure thus far of Secretary Knox to get a hopeful response to his suggestions relating to an international Judiciary should not be wholly disap pointing. The other nations have con ceded the principle contended for in the organization of the international prize courts and now the only thing to do is to keep the idea alive and active. It Is the biggest duty this nation has on hand today. If President Taft would devote his administration to this alone and let the other policies take care of themselves he would solve about every other problem he has before him. Es tablish peace tribunals and get rid of the great burdens of war, then Irriga tion, postal banks, commerce courts, in junction limitations would disappear like smoke from a fire. Think what saving $150,000,000 would mean, together with turning to produc tive employment all the men engaged in the horrid business of killing enemiea. There should be a strong body in con gress to keep up the agitation for an international Judiciary which Rooseveit urged with such fervor. Ohio State Journal. SAY IT. There are many men who seem to have no convictions on any subject. If they have they give no sign. They only smile and are silent. That is probably tetter than to be verbose and violent; Vanity of opinion is as bad as to have none at all. In a real simon-pure con viction there are modesty and courage both. Truth is in the quiet voice, since it does not depend on vainglory or rant. But a real man will say his say when the time comes, not for controversy, for that is not profitable, but to show his hand and what he is. A man's personal influence Is stronger than his argument, and he is ft-lse to the truth that is In him if he does not show that. We have great issues before us moral, political, social which every man should think about and under stand, and be ready to take a stand upon, and take' it. But there are many who don't do this?, who are negative or cowardly and only smile or grin when one of these subjects Is mentioned. They seem to think that to disagree with another is a great offense. It Is an offense not to disagree if one really does, for If an error goes unchallenged ic is strengthened. Ohio State Jour nal. x 'A NEW SANTA FE TRAIL. A modern highway- 275 miles long through the "short grass country" in western Kansas would not only prove an Illuminating object lesson for the entire state, but for all the country as well. The people of western Kansas have started a movement to afford the world Just that object lesson In road building. From Newton to the Colo rado line It is proposed to construct a i tuuilava, a Ion or the Arkan- sas river and call "The New Santa ne Trail." Such a highway would prove the most durable and certainly the most appro priate "marker" Kansas could erect for the historic Santa Fe Trail, and the "short grass country" would find it an Investment for the development of that territory far more satisfactory than all the projects for Irrigation or for rail road building yet proposed. Kansas could do nothinsr quite o profitable to Itself as to rebuild the old world famed path of the "star of em pire" through that state with a great modern highway from Olathe to Cool idge.

HARRISON. Topeka, Kansas. TNE EVENING STORY His .Brother's Wife. By Belle Maniates. After he had gone. Joan stood in the library, her deep eyes fixed on the third finger of her left hand. Her breath was still coming fast between her part ed lips. They had been engaged only a few days and now it was all ended. She had brought finality to the quarrel by handing him the engagement ring. A glint had leaped angrily into his blue eyes. He had taken the ring and had gone without a word. She felt in tuitively that he would not come back. The subject of their discussion had been his brother's wife. She had been a nurse when Maurice Fletcher married her. He was a big man In financial and political circles, and he could have been in society in lact he had been until he married Helen Saunders. She was a nobody in the eyes of Fletcher's world which she was not" invited to penetrate. Joan had never met Maurice nor his wife, but she had firmly decided on her plan r.f action when she accepted Jim, and she explicitly stated to him that his slster-ln-law must expect only ordinary civilities from her. "My friends don't reecive her. Jim, and I am not going to see more of her than I actually have to." "Why?" he asked in so guarded a tone that she did not guess the feelings it smothered. "I am not so snobbish, Jim. as to mind her having worked for her liv ing. It's commendable and all that, but Jim yoa must know, that she was talked about "And wrongly, he cried, the anger she had never seen displayed by him row thoroughly roused. She s a no ble. sweet, womanly woman. If she were not, I would still ask you to be rice to her because she is Maurice's wife, and he and I are very near to each, other, but I can ask you to do so because she Is a lovely woman, and I am very fond of her. Maybe when I tell you why "I don't care to hear any more about her," she said, growing pale in open anger. And on a fierce, uncontrollable Im pulse she handed him the ring. The next day she learned that he had left the city Indefinitely. She suffered all the pangs of repentance and re morse. Still she did not write to him. She had another plan. Instead of go ing to their summer home on the colxst she went to a quiet, little place among the hills where a maiden aunt dwelt. "Aunt Rachel," she asked soon after her arrival, "who lives In that new house above here the one that Is built on the plan of a Normandy castle?" "It's the new summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Fletcher. Don't you know them?" "I know their brother Jim," she said tentatively. The next afternoon she walked down tho road that coiled through the woods of oak and pine. Presently she heard a whlrrlno- sound, and she stepped out of the road as a big car came slowly around the curve. In the tonneau sat a woman, young and fair, with a deli cate, wild-rose beauty. She looked at Joan with an indefin able touch of friendliness and then she ordered the chaffeur to stop the car. "Would you like to ride back to the village?" she asked in a tone of en trancing charm. "One walks farther than one knows in the woods." Joan gratefully accepted the invita tion. "These woods always have a fascination for me," she observed, "al though I haven't been in them since I was a schoolgirl. I am visiting my aunt. Miss Winslow." "Oh," cried the lady with a bryjk'it little flush. "Are you Miss "Joan Randolph." "And I am "Mrs. Maurice Fletcher," finished Joan. Their hands met In greeting. "I we have heard so much of you from Jim, and. may I tell you?A We were so sorry that "So. am II" confessed Joan in a low voice, a wave of color overspreading her face. "He was here a day," informed Mrs. Fletcher, "on his way west. He 1old us "What did he tell you?" asked Joan, her heart beating in trepidation. "Simply that the engagement was broken. That was all, but we never question Jim." "No?" conceded Joan. "I am very fond of him. I liked him at first because he was Maurice's brother, and then I took care of him through an illness when we all lived in the West, and I learned to be very fond of him as a patient, you know." "What was the matter, with him?" asked Joan. "Smallpox."" I "i Joan uttered an exclamation and arried the hand of Jim's siater-ln-: law to her Hps. "No wonder he loves you!" During the ride In the woods and under the spell of confidences about Jim, Joan learned to know Mrs. Fletcher better than she could have done under any other circumstances. "How narrow and prejudiced I is!" thought Joan. "to take the stand I did until I had seen her! I might have trusted Jim's Judgment." 1 am. sornr Maurice will be awav for a week," said Mrs. Fletcher as she left Joan at her aunt's home, "but you will be neighborly, I hope." rne rides, drives and visits during the ensuing week brought therii very near to each other. Maurice comes this evening,", an nounced Mrs. Fletcher on Tuesday, and some one is coming with hini!" JNot Jim!" exclaimed Joan. "Yes, Jim." Joan sliDDed out into ona of the little balconies for a delicious solitary revery. It was nearly dusk when she heard a step behind her. She turned with a glad little cry. Jim: He looked at her Htrnneelv. hmilta.t- ed and then, quickly turning -went In to the house. She winced with shame at hen re pulsed advance, and. with a sadly beating heart, she stepped from the balcony and crossed the lawn. Some one came running behind her. "Joan!" said a deep, fervent voice, you are not running away?" "Oh, Jim, why did you turn away from me there on the balcony." "I haven't been on the balcony. That was Maurice. He does look like tne in the dark. We were all hunt. lng for you, and when Maurice saw you, he forgot his manners in his eag erness to tell me." Jim, she confided later, when they were walking to her aunt's, "I have asked Helen to pour tea for mother and me at our first regular at-home when we return to the city." "Did you do it for me?" he asked, tenderly. "For you, and for her too, Jim." (Copyrighted 1910 by Associated Lit erary Press.) War on the Sparrow. Persons living in Bloomfleld. Ha- worth, Summit, or other villages about jew York, must not be amazed if they find their next door neighbor out on his lawn on a frosty night with the garden hose unreeled, and discharging Jet of Icy water into the. crevice and eaves of his house. Nor must he be astonished in the warm spring nights to come if his usually sedate neighbor is aiscoverea oiscnarging small Rom an candies n tne vines he has sedu lously cultivated and draped over his rront veranda. He will only be seek ing to drive out the English sparrows, after a method suggested by the bio logical survev. and published by the department of agriculture as a farm ers' bulletin.. It is a new thing to find the biologi cal survey the enemy of any bird, but the scientists of the survey wholly and unreservedly condemn theEnglish spar row. They Bay that in its economic relation the English sparrow, among birds, is comparable to the rat among mammals, and call it cunning, de structive and filthy. As an incentive to the thrifty house holder to destroy English sparrows, Ned Dearborn, of the biological sur vey, urges that their flesh "is palatable and nutritious, and In city restaurants they are often served under the name of reedbirds." English sparrows are not protected by law in the United States, and may be killed by any means anywhere at any time, and in any numbers. The English sparrow was Introduced into the United States about 60 years ago, and is now distributed generally over the eastern seaboard and southern Canada, and locally westward to the Pacific coast This rapid dissemina tion is a result of the bird's hardiness, extraordinary fecundity, diversity of food, aggressive disposition, and al most complete immunity from natural enemels through its sagacity and its preference for thickly settled com munities. New York Evening Post. Cook's Ailment Diagnosed. According to the Frankfort Kleine Presse, that publication has positive knowledge that Dr. Frederick A. Cook Is "taking the cure" at one of Heidelberg's best known sanitariums this following a very severe illness from the after-effects, of the excessive consumption of alcohol during his arctic travels. Strangely enough, the doctor had not mentioned his supply of potables in connection with his stock of gum drops loaded on the lit tle sledge in his dash for the pole, but presumably the records now in the rock heap at Etah cover the matter in all its essential details. But the Bapient Kleine Presse says more that the doctors at the Heidelberg institution diagnose their distinguish ed patient's ailment as alcoholic psychosis, the commonest form of which is known as drink madness; but in Cook's case It has taken the rarer form of the idee fixe, which, doctors say, in some cases is so harmr less and plausible that the existence of the derangement is often unsus pected for some time and Its extent is extremely difficult to gauge even by. specialists. It ought to surprise no body were Dr. Cook to reappear some fine day dramatically in the public eye with a most ingenious scientific explanation of "how it all happened" and with bookings ahead for a hun dred Illustrated lectures on the sub ject at $1,000 apiece.

I have run my machine since the middle of June, on all kinds of roads hilly, stony and sandy; in fact, have made more than five thousand miles with it, and never had to pay out anything for repairs to the engine or tires, as I have been fortunate in never having had any punctures or blowouts.

This is going to be a great year in the automobile business in Topeka. Every dealer, every agent, every re pairer and every garage manager is enthusiastic over the prospects for the business this spring and summer. According to the city clerk there are 406 cars now registered In the city. The garage owners and dealers laugh at this number and insist that before the summer opens there will be 500 au tomobiles in the city of Topeka. tak ing advantage of the wide, streets, the excellent paving and the beautiful ave cues and boulevards. Five hundred cars in Topeka by sum mer will mean an investment of over $1,000,000. A million dollars placed in automobiles in a city the sise of To peka means great profits for the dea lers, big business for the garages, ana rush work for the repair shops and lop factories. Not only this but the Smith auto factory and the Frith- Short factory of North Topeka have orders for cars that will keep them running night and day. All of the repair shops in the city have signified their intention of dou bling and tripling their forces for the coming sDring work. During the win ter months the repair work falls off but as soon as the warm automobile weather shows up the machinists are in continual demand. The auto boom in Topeka this summer will make the demand especially heavy and tne pro prietors are "signing up" men to at tend to their work. Many Garages and Shops. There are 12 automobile garages and eleven repair shops in Topeka at this time. Every garage owner says that he Is crowded for room, many of them are contemplating an enlargement of their stock rooms and their general prosperity is noted by their active pre parations for the coming automobile season. The repair shops are also on the verge of prosperity. Each of them have sent for expert machinists to at tend to their work this spring, sum mer and fall. In some cases the regu lar winter force will be doubled and floor space and machinery is procured as fast as possible. Topeka has some of the best equipped and managed re pair shops In the west. Automobiles are manufactured part by part, assem bled, painted, run. and repaired right in the city. It is not necessary for an auto owner to leave the city limits to have any part of his machine put in good shape. Most of the garages have repair shops in connection. Some of the repair shoos have acauired car agencies and have hired men to come to attend to their sales and their exhibits. Auto top factories are adding to their machine ry, enlarging their rooms and hiring men for the coming rush. It is estimated on good authority that there will be about 200 men in Topeka this spring and summer who will do nothing else but sell, house, livery and rtpair automobiles. The automobile business has Increased the population of the city about 500 since its succes ful entrance. In addition to this there are already 200 men employed building the Great Smith car and the force is being enlarged every week. The out put of this factory will be at least dou bled this year. New Establishments. The largest new establishment in the automobile business is the plant now being built at 911-13-15' North Kansas avenue for the Frith-Short Automobile company of this city. This company will occupy the two bottom floors of this large 75 foot front building and will for the next few months assembled au tomobiles and distribute them fr6m their Toneka factory. The company was organized a short time ago by C. F. Frith and Charles J. Short of Wamego. They are me chanical experts and automobile deal ers and will ship into Topeka at once from fattories making standard parts of automobiles the different sections of the machines. These sections will be set up in the big factory now under construction in Norm xopeKa ana at tributed from this point. The car these men expect to get out will be built along the lines of the models for 1910 long base, racy low build, big 36-lnch wheels ana a power ful'engine under the hood. A touring, roadster and baby tonneau model will constitute the first set of cars. By next year the men in charge of the new factory expect to turn out cars from Topeka, Topeka made. As fast as the new machinery can be procured it will be shipped to the city and the cars will be designed, and built completely in this city. The in stitution should become one of the most valuable in the city with the nrooer support. The building is built of brick and is now under rapid construction. The au tomobile company expects to' occupy the floors and get out their cars for spring and summer sales. Garage and Shop Improvements. Among- the, different repair shops and garages over the city there are a number of contemplated improve ments. The West Side Auto company, with rooms at 1216 West Eighth ave nue has added additional repair ma chinery to the plant and will double the working force at once. They now occupy the first twenty-nve feet of the building at this number, but in a few days will make arrangements to oc cupy the whole bottom floor of the building, making a seventy-five-foot front. This company keeps three five passenger cars in constant use for liv ery work. They now have thirty ma chines on the floor.- The Stafford Motor Car company, under the new management of Thomas A. Dana, has also made extensive im provements.

The sale was made December 20 and the pur chaser was Allan Stock well, keeper of a restaurant. Inspectoi Klcinhans was at Valley Falls Tuesday and to him Stockwell made complaint that he had purchased two dozen eggs from Kerr for which he had paid 80 cents and that out of the lot there were 11 bad ones. He had five witnesses to prove the fact. Stockwell certified to the inspec tor that he had asked Kerr to make good the 11 bad ones and that he re fused. Kerr in defense said that some one had It iri for him and that the bad eggs were brought to his store in or der to get him in trouble. He was ig norant as to who sold him the eggs. Inspector Kleinhans made formal complaint to the county attorney and Kerr came down today and entered a plea of guilty before Justice Leech. He was fined 10 and cost.

THE TOPEKA DAILY. STATE JQUEN AL S ATUED AY NIGHT. l 1 1 THE regular meeting: of the So ciologla club fell on Valentine day. The club consisted of forty members women, of course all the constitution allowed. Some people called the Sociologs the Forty Immor tals; the municipal politicians called them the Forty Meddlers. Their presi dent was Miss Orella Bruning, white haired, sixty years old. If a day, but with soft pink cheeks, sparkling; black eyes and straight, dark eyebrows. Miss Orella was noted for her knowledge of parliamentary usage and her gracious tact and courtesy. Other women sputtered and squabbled. Miss Orella never once was known to lose either her temper or her head. On the occasion of the Sociologia Val entine day meeting the clubroom was decked with club colors, white and deli cate pink, which by a coincidence also happened to be the appropriate valen tine colors. Pink and white bunting was festooned around and caught up and held by crimson hearts. Miss Orella wore a white gown touched up with crimson here and there, in honor of the day. Mrs. Warren "read a paper." She had chosen for her subject "Valentine Day Its Origin and Old 'Time Ob servance." The president announced the title, and as Mrs. Warren rose amid a murmur of applause one gentle Sociolog whispered to another: "Ah, that's what Warren has been grubbing away in the library for, for a month past." "Yes, and I know now why she's been going into the elocute school so much the last six weeks. She's been having -oice culture lessons. The idea!" Thereupon Miss Sara Needles, who sat in front of the two gentle Socio logs and overheard what they said and who was noted, besides, for saying what she thought and all she thought, twisted her neck backward and re marked: "It's a pity some more of the women In this club didn't take lessons in voice culture. Daily practice, in 'Sitting In the Silence' would be a mighty good thing for most of our members too." The two gentle Sociologs who had first spoken nudged each other and lapsed into quiet. Meantime the show had begun. "It was a strange joke of destiny that made a pious celibate Christian priest the patron saint of love and lovers," began Mrs. Warren in her distinct elo cutionary tone. "Bishop Valentine lived in the third century after Christ. M Kate Clyde's Novel PERMIT me to say a few words on the infant question. If you have a baby don't make yourself a slave to it. It can't be amusing for you, and it doesn't help the kid. By your leave baby is, after all, only a little animal. It wants to be dry, warm and well fed and that's all. Kissing it. walking with it and cod dling it won't help it one bit except to yell! And it won't give you one bit of thanks for these attentions either now or after it has grown up. So take my advice and that of all up to date doctors leave baby alone in peace in its crib and look out for your own health and appearance. My sorrows! To see some homes blessed with a baby you would think I -;4 II QUEEN HELENA OF ITALY. In 1896 Prince Victor Emmanuel, now king of Italy, married Princess Helena "f Montenegro. The royal pair have children. Queen Helena is devoted to her children, whom she Is bringing up in a Spartan-like way, to make them hardy. Many an American child of even moderately well to do parents enjoys far more luxury than is permitted to the little Italian princesses and their brother. They must wear short socks .even in winter, and they are obliged to have a cold bath every morning. They must stay outdoors a good part of every day and be trained to robust physical exercise. They also have German, French and English go ernes-Fes. Princess Yolande, the oldest, not quite years old, is already an admirable linguist, speaking English per fectly. He was noted for his good works. In his time the Christian church had not yet lost the power of healing, and Bishop Valentine cured so many people of their ailments that the Emperor Claudius feared all the Roman empire would be converted to Christianity. So Claudius sent Asterius as a messenger to persuade Valentine back into the pagan fold. On the contrary, however, Bishop Valentine proved the power of the new faith by restoring her sight to the blind daughter of Asterius. There upon Asterius was so overjoyed that he himself embraced the Christian faith instead of turning Valentine back to paganism. "Claudius, enraged at the failure of his plan, seized Valentine and bad him beheaded. That is the true story of Valentine, one of the Christian martyrs whose name will ever be held In holy remembrance. "But how did he happen to become the patron saint of cupids and hearts pierced with arrows and of lovers, bird lovers.-too. even geese, for there is a tradition that young geese choose their mates on Valentine's day? Ah, well, 'tis not unfitting. Many other valen tine lovers turn out to be geese too. But about Bishop Valentine and the cupids and bleeding hearts. By and by, in spite of persecution, maybe through persecution. Christianity gain ed the ascendency over paganism, though people still observed the days of feasts to their former gods and god desses. The feast of the Lupercalia occurred Feb. 15, when in honor of the god Lupercus, who was "Pan, Pan," the great god Pan," was held a festival with all kinds of goings on, which the Christian fathers did not-approve of. "At the Lupercalia the names of boys and young men were placed in one urn and shaken up and the names of girls in another urn and shaken up. Then each boy drew a girl's name from the feminine urn, and each girl drew a boy's name from the masculine urn. Those whose names were drawn were to be sweethearts for the coming yeaii It happened very seldom, however, that a young man and girl mutually die each other's name, so that thus each girl and each young man generally had two sweethearts. The affairs did not necessarily turn out seriously, but the Christian authorities were scandalized by the proceedings, at the same time that they did not quite dare to stop them altogether. "It happened that the holy St. Valen tine had been beheaded on Feb. 1 i. The church authorities changed the holiday of the Lupercafia to Feb. 14 it was the end of everything for the mother in her individual character as a woman. With the advent of the baby she becomes merely its head nurse. How pleasant for the man of the house! Many a divorce has been secured because there was nothing but BABY in the home. I know of one woman who wouldn't go with her husband to the theater for fully a year after the baby was born, and another who finally was per suaded to go and who rushed madly home after the second act because she was afraid something would happen to baby, although it had not been left alone by any means. Now what in the name of goodness could happen to it? A .V- I This sort of thing is too utterly silly for words, and, thank heaven, mothers are becoming more sensible. Doctors do not look upon bottle fed babies with the same horror as they did twenty-five years ago even, and a A glare to 1he. haby. woman's nerves are taken into con sideration as well as the baby's in clinations. At the date of writing this I know three bottle fed babies, and they couldn't be healthier. The mother is free to be out and around, and "weaning time" terrors are eliminated. S The old fashioned mother used to make a slave of herself, and what did she gain? She rocked the baby to sleep. Some times it took as much as an hour and a half to do it. Think of that on a warm night, my friends, or when you wanted to go to the theater, but I sup pose she didn't want to go. Well.per haps not! And she picked up baby whenever it cried. And father walked the floor with Jt at night. What larks! Now baby ,i3 put in its little crib, and that's all. If it cries, it cries. And when it finds out no one is there te humor :t it goes to sleep. It isn't wrapped up to its ears on every occa sion. Result-. It doesn't take cold, and it i3 "toughened" by having its little bath in a rea! tub every day and splashing around like a grown person. 5 And the modern baby eats and sleeps and grows fat without wearing its mother to skin and bone, If she is a wise mother. Later on baby will need her and her brains and her strength.. How can she give them to the growing child if she wastes them all on the infant? t If there is one type of woman un bearable above all other it Is she who "shows her disapproval." Now why in the name of goodness should she? The childish cry of M. Y. O. B. Cmind your own business) may be rude, but what a good thing to have dinned into the ears of certain women.

Views and remarks that she intends to show her disapproval. Then I remark that we are none of us any one else's keeper, and I suppose she goes away feeling there is some thing wanting in- me. But why be censors of our neigh bors? Why seek to force them to live according to our lights by freezing them into doing as we see fit? Such actions smack of the middle ages, when people were burned at the stake for thinking differently. That Is why social life is such a gay care free thing in Paris. There is no such thing as censorship by female busybodies. If you don't like certain people, why,- you don't go with them, that's all. There are plenty more. But you don't nag them, you don't criticise them, you don't become their keepers. You remember that the earth is free for all, and you leave them alone. "Leave your neighbor alone!" would be a fine motto to post up in some towns I know, even in some big cities where people are supposed to be broad minded and progressive. It's a good thir.g to remember. "We can't be too broad minded about other people!" I notice a good many sales of veiling during this month. Why don't you buy some the color of tan shoes and make yourself a simple little morning frock to wear later on with a brown leather belt, a burnt straw hat and the above mentioned tan shoes? I assure you such a .color scheme will be very smart, and it is economical as well, for think of the shirt waists 'it saves. .Speaking of veiling, it is lightweight and Father walked the floor outwears three tcif t at night- ot tne silk snlrt waist costumes.

The fashion of serving afternoon tea is more popular now than ever. Tea is brought in on a silver tray. The serv ics consists of a silver hot water ket tle, teapot, cream pitcher and su gar bowl, with a waste bowl all matching in de sign. The whole thing is on the tray, as I said, and this is set down on the table by the fire (if there be one.

Once an engagement has. been broken, treat -the matter with dignity. Do not discuss it with even your intimate friends er permit them to mention it to you. And never commit the indiscretion of abusing a man or woman to whom you have been formerly betrothed. No matter how; great the temptation or how badly you have been treated, a dig nified silence is the only course for a well bred man or woman.

"All the same, however, though the festival of the Lupercalia was not call ed that any more, but St. Valentine's day instead, and though the holiday was made to come Feb. 14 in place' of the 15th," the young people "of old Ro man times continued to pair off and have their merry parties the middle of February. So they do to this day, though few think they are celebrating a festival which was kept in the time of Romulus and Remus.

"Fortune telling practices now com mon among girls at Halloween used to be the vogue in England on Valentine day. One of the beliefs was that the first man a girl met on Valentine morning was her fate. The members of this club being women, it is not necessary, to inform them that a girl was quite able to arrange it that the man she first met on the day of fate was exactly the man she wished to meet. In a bit of -writing over 200 years old a girl says, speaking of the right manr T lay abed and shut my eyes all the morning till he came to our house, for I would not have seen another man before him for all the world.' "You will be interested to know it was a woman, a Miss Esther Howland of Massachusetts, who started, the val entine making industry in this country about seventy-five years ago." "Oh, yes, she was a Massachusetts woman, of course." whispered a west ern Sociolog to her neighbor. "Miss Howland's father kept, a book store. Valentines were then all im ported from England. But they were expensive and hard to get. Miss How land, ingenious with her fingers and scissors and having an artistic eye. began cutting out small pretty pictures wherever she could find them, and pasting them neatly upon paper which she decorated in various ways. Soon she had a far larger trade than she could supply and had to call in as sistants.

In our time sen timent, romance, affection, seem to be gauged by the money price one Is will ing to pay for them." That was the end. A whole lot of repressed coughs and a round of hand clapping followed, the loudest clapping being made, as usual, by those who had been in the anteroom gossiping; all the hour and had not heard six words of the paper. As Mrs. Warren sat down there was movement at the door. Two pretty girls in pink the youngest members of the club, they were walked lightly down the aisle bearing between them a basket of splendid crimson hearted roses, large, vivid, throbbing 1 with color. The basket that held them was crimson and heart shaped. The roses were forty in number, one for each member of the club. A pretty card was tied by crimson ribbon to the bas ket, and upon the card were these two lines: While roses bloom and hearts are true Our faithful love will last for you. 8 The basket was placed before Miss Bruning. But for once the handsome, gracious president seemed unready. She appeared not to notice. "What's the matter with the presi dent?" the women whispered. The lapse was for no more than half a minute, though. The president re covered herself. She spoke a few words of thanks in her sweet, calm voice, and everybody was satisfied. But in that brief half minute, when she seemed not to notice, the soul" of Orella Bruning was away back in the past, the civil war time, when she was six teen, studying Latin grammar in the high school. A yellow haired, blue eyed boy of seventeen was in the class, too, and he sent her her first valentine. The yellow haired lad became a soldier and -died on the battlefield, but Orella Bruning had that cheap little old val entine still.

IT AT THBr THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12: 1910. and 21. COMI.VQ ATTRACTIONS. Brewster's Millions Monday. Louis Mann Wednesday. In Wyoming Saturday matinee night. Polly of the Circus Monday, Feb. King Dodo weanesaay, iw. Lillian Russell Saturday, Feb. 26. One becomes interested in reading a book and the characters at times seem as living, breathing friends. It is.( therefore, easy to understand how after having followed the adventures ot a popular hero or heroine of fiction and having been taken into the confidences of these persons that one should have a desire to meet them face to face. In renewing the acquaintance of old friends made over from cold type into flesh and blood, one feels a satisfaction not easily described. It is sometimes akin to psychological phenomenon. It Is perhaps not too much to say that George Barr McCutcheon's story, 'Brewster's Millions," has had as many readers as any American work of fiction recently published. It is there fore natural that the combined armies of fiction, readers and theater goers, will look forward to the appearance of Frederic Thompson's production of this etory at the Grand Monday night. Mr. Louis Mann is to come to the Grand on Wednesday, February 16, in the comedy success, "The Man Who fcstood Still," which is enjoying its sec ond year. Mr Mann comes with the came admirable company that support ed him in the lone; Chicago, New York and Boston runs of the play. It has been repeatedly said that this is the best acting company now on the Amer ican stage an opinion that has been expressed wherever Mr. Mann has act ed in "The Man Who Stood Still." Cer tainly, the company is one rich in the names of players who have done excellent work in a wide variety of features of ft mammoth tent show makes it one of the most elaborate at tractions ever sent on tour, and it will be seen here exactly as witnessed by thousands of enthusiastic playgoers during its sensational run of one entire season at the Liberty theater. New York city. "Folly of the Circus" is played by one of the most competent organizations yet gathered, and there is no doubt that it will be greeted here by a capacity audience. The Denver Post, Monday, "Feb. 7, says: When John Cort put his revival of "King Dodo" on the road he looked after details closely. His production of the Pixley Luders comic opera, play ing at the Tabor this week, is really com plete when it comes to costumes, scen ery and stage effects. And it is handled very capably, too. William Friend, the king, is competent in his role and creates a world of fun. His work as the playful o'd monarch cannot be too highly commended. But he isn't the only one in the cast who deserves credit for the success of the show. At the Novelty. The bill at the Novelty opening With Motday matinee will be one of va riety. The Zerales, up side down bal ancers, faave been featured on the Orpheum circuit just closing last-week. Another act of oddity is The Sterlings. Bella and George, "Hats Hute Chapeaux." This act has been creating a big sensation wherever they have ap peared. Mildred Grover, the popular singing comedienne, assisted by Mr. Dick Richards, in piano selections en titled "A Trip Around the World," are far above the average for this class of act.

Emily Lytton as Mrs. Dan D e MHle in "Brewster's Millions." plays, with the sole exception of Miss Emily Ann Wellman, who ha3 been on the stage less than two years, but who is already recognized as one of the foremost leading women on the Amer ican stage, thanks to the work she has displayed in he two girls' roles in this comedy. It is Mr. Mann's first visit to Topeka as a star though he is one of the most successful actors in America. As to the play itself it seems to meet vith the kin.i of approval that is al ways the reward of th-j dramatic com position that gives marked entertain ment in the performance and promotes thought and reflection. If a play with a hidden lesson is wanted and the success of the last five years among nonmusical plays would seem to indi cate that thit is wanted-; then "The Man Who Stod Still" certainly con tains that lesson. What play has given us a more human, appealing character than that played by Mr. Mann? John Krauss, who will not keep pace with the progress of the world, and who refuses to see that this countrv moves faster than his native Switzerland. The shores of time are Ftrewn with the failures of men like Krauss, and Mr. Mann perfectly em bodies this loveable, mistaken, stub burn, kindly, reactionary, well mean ing old fellow. "In Wyoming" will be the attraction at the Grand, matinee and night, Feb ruary 19. An instance of the endeavors the management of the Grand is making to eecure the very highest class of con temporary attractions for local theater goers, Is. found In the announcement that contracts have Just been signed for the presentation here on Monday, Feb. 21, of the great American play, "Polly of the-Circus," which' has firmly estab lished itself as the really worthy theat rical success of the present generation. In addition to disclosing one of the prettiest romances the stage has re cently brought forward, "Polly of the Circus" is famous for two of the most amusingly realistic scenic reproductions in history Its elaborate picture of a circus performance, and the departure of the red wagon caravan after the night show, setting a new high water mark in stage illusions.

He has been a great fighter. Some heavyweights have impressive general character, and John is of them. He knows how to make a statement with effect and dignity. But we see, with regret, that he does not know how to write his autobiography or does not know how to inspire some one else to write It. as the case may be. All great men have their limitations, and one of John's seems to be that he thinks liter ature is essentially different from life He seems to think it necessary to keep the "real thing" out of print. Sitting comfortably at a table John is caDable of uttering ricn ana trutnmi things about life with artistic emphasis and vigorous Deauty. some years ago for instance, he was overheard discuss ing esthetic principles with a young and talented sculptor. The latter was dilating upon the beauty which a fight has for the artist. The modeling of the athletes, their forms, curves, this rapid movements, etc., give many Ideas to the sculptor. He told John u. that he in tended to make a statue representing a fight between two bantamweights, as he thought tne movement or tne Dan tams was especially beautiful and plastic. John snorted Indignantly, and said: "Young feller, you don't know anything about your business. The most beautiful thing about a fight is a knockout, and you've got to have some thing to knock out Heavyweights are what you want for your business. Take me knocking out Paddy Ryan, for ex ample. Can you imagine anything greater for a statue than that? Why, every saloonkeeper in the country would buy it, and you would get rich. Bantamweights! There's nothing in 'em for your line of work." John s words had the accent of sin cerity, and yet we find that in his auto biography, which is now appearing serially, he says he always hated to knock a man out or see a man knocked out. It seems to him (in print) brutal and Indelicate, and only the demand of the heartless mob would induce him to do such a thing. John's case is another example of why good autobiography is so rare. John tries in his story to "fix up" life, to make it better and different than it really is. If John knew how to tell the exact facts and exact thoughts and Ideas, a selection of them, that have been his, his autobiography would be as good as that of Benvenuto Cellini. But even if an autoblographer is willing to be truthful, to be so is exceedingly dif ficult. It is sad to see a good thing lost- John L.

The wedding will take place at the Appleton home about Easter. The sheath gown has been declared an old timer and the Mermaid dress of shimmering green, made still tight er than the sheath, has taken its place. The woman who invented it took it to Washington to display it at a tail ors' convention. The cut of the dress, for those with a strong imagination, produced the effect of the lady down under the sea. It is economical of ma terial not containing so many inches of cloth as the sheath gown, and per haps a trifle more than the Salome. It weighs three pounds and can be cared about in a Uneeda wafer box. It was made of steel net over satin, embroidered in turquoise, jet and coral. At the back the overskirt is designed to look like a fish tail and protruding beyond is a train of green satin that is supposed to look snaky and clammy. It is a wonderful cre ation, but it has a few drawbacks. Its wearer can't sit down in it it is too tight she must be tall and slim, and she must have small feet at any cost The conditions are hard and should only be imposed in the way of pen ance.

The delegate body of federated clubs met Tuesday afternoon at tne tjom mercial club rooms for the discussion of important Questions that had been taken un at the meeting or tne ooara of directors last week. The subject of the boulevard was discussed, some ad ditional names were proposed for the committee, and the matter or extend ine the road to include VInewood park, the fair grounds and Gage park was considered. The federation wm ob serve Arbor day and a committee was appointed to solicit tne co-operation of the schools in their observance of Arbor day in the work of beautifying the river drive. The meeting voted to nlant nut bearing trees along tne drive with the understanding that school children should be privileged to share the fall harvest of nuts. A report was made on the work of the department or justice, wnicn now has two cases in charge. The school of law of Washburn college is contrib uting the legal service for this de partment, and they are also looking up the law on the bill board question. The federation has found a new line of work that is not least- among its many beneficent labors. This new plan looks toward the betterment of the condition of the girls at the industrial school at Beloit. The girls at the school need some employment to relieve the monotony of institutional life, and they most especially need the money the work would bring them with which to start their new life after they are re leased from the school. Many of them Price List for Cleaning LADIES' Jackets.. $1.00 Skirts 1.00 Waists.. 75 Gloves .15 GENTLEMEN'S Suits $1.00 Coats 75 Vests .25 Pants 50 Electrical Dry Cleaning and Tailoring 625 Harrison Work Called for and Delivered Ind. Phone 3968 Black are turned out friendless in the world and without a means of living until they can find employment. The result is that they are driven by actual want to their former haunts and compan ions, on account of which the school of correction was first necessary. It is the purpose of the club women to send them sewing and fancy work, with patterns and materials, and when the work is finished to find a market for it. Those women who have ma terial for the box that is to be sent to Beloit next week should send it at once to the home of Mrs. F. E. Guibor, 1015 Harrison street. The course of study in the high school was discussed at the meetine-. but as the subject had had little pre vious consideration, no resolutions were passed. Mrs. Lee Monroe gave it as her opinion that too much time was given to the study of higher math ematics and too little time to funda mental branches that would fit the pupils for business and commercial pursuits or for teaching. It thus be comes necessarv for mn n v nf rVi a ce dents to go to other towns to prepare uit-iueives ior teaenmg or to business colleges for a tech nical training trtnt should be given in the public school. -Mrs. Monroe told the women of an article she had seen, written by a Chi cago university man, on the reason for the high price of meat. As usual, the women were blamed, because thev knew nothing about various cuts of meat and were extravagant in their buying. Too many women, he thought, had a porterhouse appetite to go with a chuck income. So Mrs. Monroe sug gested that the women of Topeka should have an opportunity to learn the art of buying meat, and she thought it might be a good nla.n to ask Mr. Wolff to allow them to witness the cutting up of a beef animal. The women present were all satisfied that they were not ignorant of the meat buying business, and that the proba bilities were that those who would be most likely to need the lesson would be the least likely to attend. The mat ter was left to be settled at some fu ture time. The Woman's Industria league and the Woman's Homestead association of Boston held a meeting recently, at which it was decided to build a hotel for working women Sta tistics show that in Boston 75.000 homeless women, live in lodging houses. Rents are hisrh and arnm- modations poor, and at the new hotel mat is to De Duilt the charges- will be reasonable and conditions sanitary and otnerwise desirable. Thus the large cities are coming to recognize their re- bponsiDiiiues and are solving their problems. EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. "The kindly-earnest. brave, far-seeing man. Sagacious, patient, dreading praise, not blame, New birth of our new soil, the first American!" Lowell. Does that suggest to you whose birth day it is today? It is unlikely that the United States will ever celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday as a national holiday. But that does not mean that the twelfth of February need go entirely unobserved. Even if we do not close our shops and schools we can do our martyred president honor in some less for mal way. And as T hiv. b.n u,iinn. the records of his life it has seemed to me that we could do it in no better way than by making the twelfth of February a sort of Mother's day. It does not seem to me that I ever read the biography of a man who cared so much about mothers. Almost all great men have acknowl edged their debt to their mothers, but iow so Deautiiuuy as Lincoln in that fam ous sentence "All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother." And it does not seem to me that any other man I have ever read b limit hari such a deep interest in other DeODle's mothers as Lincoln bad. When he went to William Scott, the sleeDins: sentinel." anri taiVoH tn him about his fault and pardoned him he did nut iorget to asK about his mother. "Then he asked me about mother, and how she looked," says Scott, in telling about the interview. "And I was glad I could take her photograph from my bosom and show it to him. He said how thank ful I ought to be that my mother still lived, and how, if he was in my place he vvuluu n-y w mase ner a proud motner, and never cause her a sorrow or a tear A mother's plea for her son was almost always Irresistible to him. Again and again he granted the older women who came to olead for their sons favors he did not give to younger and more attrac tive women. Quite often, because of his cares of state, Abraham Lincoln did not have time for dinner or supper,, but when his atten tion was called to the fact that one mother had lost five sons in the war he had time to write the following letter wnicn, wen Known as it is, l am going to quote bodily because I love It so. "Dear Madam: I have been shown in the files of the war deDartment a state ment of the adjutant general that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be anv words of mine which should attempt to Deguue you irom tne grier ot a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. "Tours sincerely and respectfully, "ABRAHAM LINCOLN." If those who love Abraham Lincoln and grieve that his birthday is not a national holiday would make the twelfth of Feb ruary a day on which they did special honor to their mothers, in which they sought out somebody's mother whose hearth for some reason was empty, and tried to brighten her life a bit, I think that Abraham Lincoln would be more content with such an observance of his birthday than any more formal honor he could receive. CALLED TO LINCOLN. Honored by State Association of Opti cians of Nebraska. Mr. W. J. Lewis, the potician at 809 Kansas avenue, goes to Lincoln Monday evening, where he will ad dress the Nebraska opticians at the convention of the state association on Tuesday evening. Mr. Lewis has won an enviable reputation, among the opticians of the country as an ex pert with the retinoscope, and will occupy the whole evening with talks and demonstrations, snowing his method of examination.

"I present this portrait In the name of the fifty thousand women of The Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic who are bound by the ties of blood and mar riage to the noble men who went forth at the call of Lincoln to battle for the union in the great struggle from '61 to 65." Moving Pictures of Royalty. In the latest moving pictures taken by the royal cinematographers at the command of Emperor William, the crown prince of the German ruling house is shown leading a fierce charge across the parade ground. After the charge he was taken while instructing his officers in the art of handling cannon, and places a shell In the breech with his own hands. The films have been ordered put on sale, according to reports from Ger many, so that the millions of people who patronize the moving picture theaters may see how their future em peror really appears in battle array.
