Gentry, Kidnaper of Baby, Loses Appeal. John G. Cooper must either give bond for payment of alimony to his wife for care of her child or bo to jail. The supreme court today re fused Cooper's application for writ of habeas corpus, declaring that the lower court had the right to make the ruling it did in regard to alimony. At the conclusion of its decision uphold ing the decision of the lower court, the supreme court remands Cooper to the custody of the sheriff. Cooper was committed to jail for contempt in willful disobedience of an order of the Shawnee district court requiring him to make provision for the maintenance of his wife and child. He asked to be discharged on the ground that the court did not have jurisdiction. Cooper's wife sued him for divorce, alleging cruelty and neglect, the ue cree was disallowed. The court found that both parties were in equal wrong. The child was awarded to its mother and the court decreed that property sufficient to insure the child's main tenance and education should be placed bv Cooper in the hands of a trustee. Cooper did not obey the or der of the court and was later re quired to appear and show why he Bhould not be cited for contempt of court. Cooper's attorneys answered this summons with the argument that the court did not have jurisdiction in th-3 matter. A motion to set aside the decree of the court was over ruled. Cooper continued to be contuma cious and was adjudged guilty of con tempt and was sentenced to pay a fine and costs in addition to the ali mony and was ordered committed to iail until he paid the fine and trans- ferred the property the care of his child. Cooper appealed to the supreme fnnrt for a writ of habeas corpus to boon nut of iail. The supreme court, by its decision today, upholds the, TSe- cision of the lower court in every par ticular. Cooper must at once pay his fine and costs and pay the alimony or go to jail. Continued on Page 2.) BEWAREPEDDLERS Don't Pay High Prices for Inferior Installment Goods. With all due respect to the news paper business of Topeka, it seems to the State Journal that a great injustice is being done the merchants of To peka and an injustice to the public, when the one paper continues to sell merchandise of nearly every descrip tion on the installment plan, nearly all of which is also purchased away from home. For the past several weeks the city has been flooded with alleged news paper solicitors making a house to house canvass with vacuum cleaners, scissors, clocks, dictionaries. Bibles, rocking chairs, carpet sweepers, hard ware, food choppers, mirrors, dishes, kitchen cabinets, books and silver ware. The solicitors urge the people to buy this merchandise at so much down, and then so much per week for several months, or oven a year. The merchants of Topeka have thou sands of dollars invested and ought to be protected. The chances are that these house to house peddlers do not even pay a license. Beware of peddlers! Buy home made goods when you cuii and patron ize Top?ka merchants, and don't pay four dollars on the installment plan for an alleged eight dollar article, bought lor two dollars, and sold for double the money on weekly payments TO REDUCE THE ARMY. Democrat Plan Is Strongly Opposed by Congressman Anthony. Washington, Feb. 10. A reduction of the cavalry force of the United States army from fifteen to ten regi ments, with a consequent reduction of the enlisted force of the army by S.980 men has been voted into the army appropriation bill in the house after a bitter tight. The cavalry reduction amendment was vigorously opposed by the Repub lican side of the house and will prob ebly be the cause of another figh when the bill is put upon its final passa ge. The enlisted men in the five regi ments thus to be dropped would be mustered out but the officers would be retained and absorbed into other regi ments of cavalry, or into other branch es of the army, without reduction of grade. It was estimated by Chairman Hay, in charge of the appropriation bill, that the immediate saving from the reduction in cavalry force would be $4,376,253. Representative Anthony, Kansas, and other Republicans attacked the Hay amendment in the strongest terms. The present strength of the army is thirty regiments of infantry and fif teen regiments of cavalry. The Hav amendment, if retained in the final draft of the army appropriation bill, would become effective July 1, 1912. Weather Indication. Chicago, Feb. 10. Forecast for Kansas: Generally fair tonight and Sunday; warmer in extreme east por tion tonight. Kansas Governor Attempted to Interfere in Appointments. Quarreled With Roosevelt Over the Same Thing. Washington, Feb. 10. Administra tion people in many states have had the confidential tip to look up the politi cal records of those who are most ac tive in the Roosevelt agitation. This information, once collected, may oe put forth in sudden and thunderbolt fashion at a. time when it will do most good. The private argument of the Taft people is that most of the vociferous Roosevelt boomers have been disap pointed ean.Jidates for office or have been disregarded in th- matter of ap pointments lor others. A notable in stance is F.dwin Sims of Illinois, who las been active and who would be re appointed United States attorney. Pres ident Taft did not approve his conduct of the office and named a new man. Then camt the Sims eloquence for Roosevelt. Others like Crane of Chi cago who v. as appointed to a diplo matic post and recalled before he got as far as San Francisco because he talked too much, and Walter Brown of Ohio, who failed to reach what he de manded, hastened to announce the won derful regard of the people for Roost velt. Another notable instance is Roscoe W. Stubbs, govtrnor of Kansas. He is diligently seeking tne limeiight in an endeavor to ride ir.to the United States senate 'on the coat-tails j Theodore Roosevelt. Interest is manifested in Washing ton over the recent visit of Governor Stubbs to Oyster Bay and his ultimate interviews given out in New York, Washington, Philadelphia and else where, boosting the Roosevelt niove mert. What is back of Stubbs' motive ia opposing President Taft and support ing Roosevejt for president is asked' Well, that is an interesting story. The Kansas governor has made several pilgrimages to. Washington in late years. On each fcnd every visit he has endeavored to mix up in federal ap pointment matteis concerning the state. He has opposed men for office recommended' by Curtis, Long, and oth er Republican members of the con gressional delegation. In each case he failed most ignominiously. When Mr. Stubbs occupied the office of speaker of the Kansas legislature he came to Washington and opposed sev eral recommendations made by the regular organization of the party in the state, as well as those made by the congressional delegation. In these in stances he was given a vigorous call down by President Roosevelt twice. Mr. Stubbs was told by the president that he had no rights in the premises, that the federal patronage of the state was to be settled purely upon recom mendations made by the members of congress from Kansas. It was well known here at the time that the relations between Roosevelt and Stubbs became of the most strain ed character. Efforts made by Mr. Stubbs since he became governor and Taft became president to exercise his influence over the recommendations of Senator Curtis in appointment mat ters have met with the same result. Now Mr. Stubbs and Mr. Taft are not friendly. Notwithstanding their present rela tions, Governor Stubbs apparently now persists in being friendly with Roose velt for an ulterior reason and that reason, the politicians say, is for one purpose alone to ride into the sen ate on the Roosevelt wave, providing the wave gets big enough to sweep him in. Kvery Republican senator and house member loyal to Taft can point out the disappointed ones in the different states, and the list when made up -will be a long one ana reus lis own siory. Kansas postmasters appointed: Ros coe C. Moore, Croft; Ross J. Jones, Morse; Charles G. Clifford, Shady Bend. Postal savings banks will be estab lished at the postoffices of Fowler ana St. Paul, Kan., on March 5. EXAMINE 40,00tTCOWS Tuberculin Tests on Source of Kansas City's Milk Supply. Kansas City, Feb. 10. Three ex perts from the United States bureau of animal husbandry will assist the Missouri state veterinarian and the city food inspector in conducting tuberculin tests among the dairy herds which supply Kansas City with milk, according to City Food Inspector Bar bee in a report issued here today. The tests will begin February 1 and according to Mr. Barbee will form one of the most thorough investiga tions of milk as a disease source ever undertaken by a city. Forty thousand cows from dairies with an aggregate capacity of 4,000,000 gallons will be examined. Affected cows will be slain. "Our investigation of the last year,' Mr. Barbee reported, "showed 2 per cent of the cows examined to be afflict ed with tuberculosis. In one exception al case we found as many as 50 per cent of a herd affected." IN SPITE OF PROTEST. Col. W. P. Evans Placed on Army Re tired -List. Leavenworth. Feb. 10. Despite his protest. Col. W. P. Evans, 59 years old, infantry unassigned, has received notice that he would be placed on the retired list by an army retiring board at Chicago. Pnysical disability is said to be the reason. The limit for officers is 64 years. WW-H-i.mM 1 1. 1 1 mm iw i p mml p i j i llliP Worfc, Wealth, Woman, and Win. -tfc i9fe) Pittxburg, FROZEN TO DEATH G. A.

The commerce court today denied the application of the transcontinental railroads for an injunction to restrain the interstate commerce commission from putting into effect its order fixing a rate of $1 a hundred pounds on California lemons destined to poir.ts in the east. The original order of the commission establishing a rate of 1 a hundred pounds on California hmons destined to the Atlantic seaboard was appealed to the commerce court which remanded the case to the commission for rehear ing on the ground that Sicilian lemon competition had been given too great weight by the commission. After re hearing the case the commission re affirmed its findings and again ordered that the lemon rare should be $1, a hundred pounds. Application was made for an injunc tion against this order on the ground that it was confiscatory. The com merce court today denied the applica tion. The order will become effective February 15.

Asks Friends to Give Support to the Speaker. St. Louis, Feb. 10. Former Gov. Jos. W. Folk today retired from the race for indorsement in Missouri for the Democratic presidential nomina tion in agreeing to a proposal made by Speaker Champ Clark. Speaker Clark wanted Mr. Folk to agree to a divided delegation. Mr. Folk did this and at the same time released all of his iriends from giving him their support. Gov. Folk authorized the following statement: "I have read Mr. Clark's statement with pleasure, and sincerely appre ciate the spirit manifested therein. I heartily concur in the sentiments that personal ambition should be subordin ated to the interest of our party in Missouri and now that Mr. Clark has expressed a willingness to have this delegation divided between him and myself as suggested recently by Bry an, I shall now request my friends to make no further effort in my behalf. I believe from reports received from other states that Mr. Clark owing to j his prominent position in Washington at this time and his long and honor able service there has perhaps better chances for the nomination than any other Missourian, and I shall there fore release all claims I may have on the delegation and request my friends to join with me in giving Mr. Clark the united support of Missouri in this contest." Clark's Statement. Mr. Clark's statement as received by Governor Folk as follows: "Especially desirous of bringing the Democracy of Missouri together and to avoid .as far as possible, any acri mony in the state I have, after con sultation with numerous friends and on due deliberation, determined to agree to accept the suggestion made by Mr. Bryan to divide the Missouri delegation to the national convention between Governor Folk and myself: "Provided always, of course, that the Democrats of this state are in the main for one or the other of us. "I am especially anxious there should be harmony and co-operation among the Democrats of Missouri. Whether the Joplin convention would be for me or Governor Folk is a ques tion which it is unnecessary and which would be bootless for me to discuss now. It is sufficient to say that in the interest of party harmony in this state, I have determined to say that I am willing to accept the suggestion made for a division of the state delegation, and I hope my friends throughout the state will heartily agree to this sug gestion and co-operate with me in car rying it out." The agreement first was proposed by W. J. Bryan while here recently. Governor Folk was willing to agree to a division of the delegation at the state convention but Speaker Clark's man agers refused. The matter was put up to Clark in Washington and he telegraphed Governor Folk today. A conversation by telephone shortly be fore noon between Mr. Clark and Gov ernor Folk followed, and Governor i Folk then made public his announce ment. Lon Sanders, campaign mana ger for Governor Folk after the state ments were given out, said: "This practically means Mr. Folk's withdrawal from the race." iO NOW HE'S DEAD. John H. Kidney Vowed Not to Shave Till Bryan Was President. Stamford. Conn., Feb. 10. John H. Kidney, -who gained some notice by vowing when William Jennings Bryan was first nominated for president that he would not cut his beard or hair until Mr. Bryan should be seated in the White House, is dead at the sol diers' home at Noroton, aged 79 years. He kept his vow until a year ago. Then one day he astonished the town by walking into a barber shop and ordering his beard removed and his hair trimmed. The beard extended to his -waist and his hair hung down his back almost an equal length. i Broadway, TELLS OMCILLING Swinney Chief Witness Today in Kimmel Case. Tale of Murder in Northern Woods Is Retold. St. Louis, Feb. 10. John B. Swinney, a New Mexico ranchman, testified in the Kimmel case today that he killed the man who shot and killed George Kimmel in a forest in Or?gon, Aug. 14, 1898, two weeks after Kimmel disap peared. Swinney was allowed to tell his story to the jury with but slight interruption from attorneys of the insurance com pany which holds policies amounting to $30,000 on Kimmel's life. Th-3 defense plans to put on witnesses who, it is contended, will discredit Swinney's testimony. The witness is an acknowledged two time convict, having served sentences for murder and train robbery. Kimmel in company with the lata Robert M. Snyder, of Kansas City, a man named Johnson and Swinney, ac cording to Swinney's testimony, left Kansas City the night Kimmel disap--peared for Coos bay. Oregon, to search for a buried treasure of $40,000. The party want through Denver and San Francisco to Coos bay. After find ing $4,000 of the treasure, according to Swinney, Johnson and Kimmel quar reled in the woods, Johnson shot Kimmel Swinney in turn shot and killed John son and Swinney and Snyder buri?d the bodies of Johnson and Kimmel in the same grave, covered it with leaves and slfpped away. Swinney testified Snyder took Kimmel's effscts and in tended to send them to his mother but that Snyder wns afraid to do so. The claimant, Andrew J. White, former convict was not in court to hear Swin ney's story. STOLE A MAIL POUCH. Burned Cheeks and Drafts Valued at $63,000. Council Bluffs, Ia Feb. 10. John Pruett, under arrest with George Pabst and Elmer Custin, has confessed to a long list of robberies, implicating the other men and finally, according to County Attorney Capell, told of the theft from the depot platform here last Wednesday night of a mail pouch containing a large amount of valuable mail, including many registered let ters and p'ackages. He declared that checks and drafts amounting to $65,000 were burned as the robbers dare not use them. The disappearance of the mail sack had been a mystery to the postal authori ties until an ungua.-ded remark by Pruett's young wife, who with her young baby, was held at the jail, gave a clew which led to the revelation by her husband. A. CARNEGIE IS SICK. Bad Cold Causes Cancelling of All Engagemen ts. New York, Feb. 10. It became known today that Andrew Carnegie is confined to his Fifth avenue home by a severe cold. His physicians have ordered him to cancel all engagements and remain indoors until fully recov ered. The illness is not, however, re garded as serious. Weather Is Like Spring. This is almost a spring brand of weather that has been enjoyed today, and the forecast calls for a continu ance of similar conditions. It is ex pected to be a little warmer tonight in the extreme eastern portion of the state. The shippers' forecast reads: "Protect 26 hour shipments north and west against temperature of 25 de grees; east against 2" decrees south, 28." The wind is blowing at an mile pace from the south.

Items of Interest to Politicians and Others. The programs lor the Democratic banquet at Masonic hall in Topeka Feb ruary 22 have been printed. Six speeches fill the bill. The committee argued that the fewer speeches the stronger and better the program. Joseph Ulsh. sec retary of the banquet committee, stated today that he expects 0 guests at the oig spread. "I have had orders for tickets from, every congressional dis trict in the state." said Air. Ulsh, "and I really believe that the west will be represented almost as well as the east this year. It will be the biggest ban quet we have ever held. The advance sale of rickets and the interest taken warrants this statement." Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, heads the list of speakers. A better card than the New Jersey gov ernor for a western Democratic ban quet could not be secured in the coun try. Wilson is a formidable candidate for the presidency in spite of the Edi tor Harvey incident and the wrath of Col. Henry WatU-rson. He. has never anneared before a Kansas audience. Burt Brown, of Lawrence, presiueni of the Democratic State club. Mill, as the custom, deliver the president s au- dress. Mr. Brown is a young Demo crat and a hustling, capable party man. He is a candidate tor secretary of state. Judge W. H. Thompson, of Garden City, will .speak from the fubjeet. "De mopracv of Todav." The judge is a rmror in his uarty in this state. He will likely make the race for the Uni ted States senate, starting with the sup rmrt of the shortrTHSS country. August W.

He has a fruitful subject and ought to hold his audience enthralled. Judge Bond is a well known attorney of the Fifth district and an orator oi recog nized ability. Hutrh P. Farrelly of Chanute, can didate for United States senate four years ago and again before the people with the same amoiuon, win iam num thn sublect. "Representation." Far relly is well known as a silver tongued speaker ana a lawyer ui i ipe epei. The Democrats, encouraged by the victories in the 'Second and fceventn congressional districts, will take the town on Washington's birthday. There is a demand this year, for the first time since the year or me Dig winu for places on the Democratic ticket. Every candidate will put his best foot forward on banquet day in Topeka. The Clark men will come to show their force and the Wilson men will come to hear their favorite speak. The banquet will be one great event in Democratic history of Kansas. E. A. Enrieht, formerly county at torney of Wyandotte county, has again been stung by the corgresslonal bee. He has announced as the Republican candidate for congress from the Sec ond district. An Enright for congress club has been formed In Kansas City. Judge L. B. Kellogg of Emporia, for merly attorney general, will be a Re publican candidate for Judge in the Emporia district. The Emporia Ga zette which announced his candidacy says: "The bar is all but united upon this proposition.

About 10,000 Printed Pages or Testi mony Have Been Taken, Washington, Feb. 10. Public hear ings in the second senatorial investi gation into the election of Senator Lorimer have been declared closed by Chairman Dillingham of the senate Lorimer committee. Attorney Hanecy, representing Senator Lorimer, was given permission to file a brief to the effect that the senator's election had been adjudicated before the present Investigation began and therefore that it could not be the subject of a sec ond investigation. The inquiry has proved to be one of the most exhaustive ever made by a congressional committee. In the eight months' hearing about 10,000 pages of printed testimony were taken. It is estimated that the stenographers' tees alone reached $15,000. The closing hour of the hearing was a veritable love feast. The attorneys explained that they had never intend ed really to display temper and the committee added that it had not en tertained iike intentions. M. W. Blumenberg, the official stenographer, who was discharged for his cor duct before the committee Saturday night, wrote a letter of profuse apology, which was read into the record. Edward Hines was the last witness called. He denied he had attempted to bribe Miss Helen Seavers, a local telegraph operator, to see a. message a private detective in the case had Just sent. After his testimony, the committee decided at an executive session not to Inquire further into an alleged com bination against Senator Lorimer as a result of the Chicago river improve ment, or other matters which the committee deemed, after hearing wit nesses, did not bear upon the issue. Claim He Has Been Too Liberal With Immigration. Prohibitionists Claim He Has Been Brewer Lobbyist. Washir.-Tton. Feb. 10. President Tuft has decided to delay until in xt week the appointment of a successor to tha late Justice jlarbin of the United Stales supreme curt. Friends of Judg? Wil li. tm C. Ilo,)k. of K:msa. who waj-. a. leading candidate have asked the presi dent for more time to present re claims sua to offset the adverse ffect. of the Jim Crow law decision in whit h he participated. In t.ie meantime vuri ous protests have reached the Whil" House against the proposed appointmi lit of Secretary of Conunerco and Laber Charles Nagel. These pro"e-ts have come largely from labjr organizations, the complaint being thut cretary Nagel had been too liberal In his enforcement of the immigration law?. The protests have quoted many of Mr. Nagel's state ments and f-peeches In which he urged more liberal treatment for aliens. It looks at the White House as though tvi entire question of the vacant Judgescl,i had again been thrown open. Prohibitionists Also IroteU The president also received word from the proliibitloni.-ts of Missouri that they prepose to fight the appoint ment of Nagel to the bitter end. Nagel they affirm, has long been an ally, if not a lobbyist for the big brewers of Missouri and to confirm that th 'y show that Otto Sleifel. one of the blggcvt brewers of St. Louis, at Nagel's request reversed the Roosevelt decision of th St. Louis county commit te and made it a Taft decision. As soon as the prohibitionists bad got their notice of protect, along -ai the progressive R -publicans the Hadley people of Missouri, with the statement that not only had Nagel b 'en counsel for the Waters-I'lcrcc division of the Standard Oil company, but thut he ha. I actually received a yearly salary from that notorious subsidiary corporation. President Taft heard both protest with a worried face. He doesn't want a fight on Nagel hut he doesn't see how he is going to dodge one. And he Is beginning to think that -sometimes a president would better "bear those ilia he has then fly to others that he knows not of." REPLYTOBRYAn- Texas Congressman Makes At tack on the braskan. Calls Him LtII Genius Hover ing on Democracy's Flanks. Washington. Feb. 10. William Jt Bryan was held up to the house today as the "evil genius hovering on tho flanks of Democracy' by Representa tive Martin E. Dies of Texas, who spoke In reply to Bryan's latest atta k n his newspaper on the Democrat membership of the hon.se. Democrats and Republicans cheered Mr. Dies' de claration that he neither feared the power nor respected the Judgment of the Nebrask.m and his further nn nouncemarit that Democracy under the leadership of Champ Clark arid Oscar W. Underwood, was headed toward complete success, swept the Iemoorat- ic side of the house into storms of ap plause. 'I am almost ready to Join Governor Wilhon In his desire to find some decent and orderly manner of 'knocking Mr. Bryan into a cocked hat,' said Mr. Dies amid a raor of laughter and ap plause. Mr. Dies nttack on Mr. Bryan fol lowed the lutter's declaration In th last issue of his newspaper that the 13 Democrats who voted against a recent intendment in the house to require pub licity of all recommendations to th president on Judgeship appointment were unworthy to represent a uemo- cratic constituency. Like Bourbons of Old. Mr. Dies declared If Mr. Hryan had spent as much time "reading law as he had attacking Democrats In public life he would have known that th proposed law would be unconstitution al anl an Infringement of the presi dent's rights." "Mr. Bryan has led the Democrat through three disastrous defeats, cried Mr. Dies. "Like the Bourbons of old he has learned nothing and for gotten nothing. He points our column straight to the rocks of St. Helena. "The people sire ready to g'ive u more power. Ii this situation It Is a calamity, if not a crime, for Mr. Bry an to sow seeds of discord In the ranks of the party. "Whatever we do here disdefie him. The prospect of Democrat suc cess seems to anger JS very soul. t prefer to follow the leadership of th gentleman from Alabama. 1 have fol lowed Don Quixote of Nebraska until I am wearying of war upon windmills. I demand to be led aeainst the flesh and blood enemies of Democracy." The conclusion of Represeii ta I Iva Dies' remarkable attack on Mr. Bryrin was marked by general Hpplausn and the clustering about him of Democrat ic colleatrufs who shook his hands.

John T. Oyler of Topeka, who has been traveling through the Fourth district, reports that J. A. Walker Emporia will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for congress. Mr. Walker is an official in a fraternal society and has made many friends during his 28 years of residence in the Fourth district. Col. E. D. Ballard of Washington county, a member of the first Kansas legislature, will be a candidate this year for re-election. Col. Ballard is now 75 years old but is hale and hearty In mind and body.

Flory, editor of the Elk County Citizen, is exercised about the State Journal article in regard to the Demo cratic state committee meeting in To peka last month. Mr. Flory claims that the article, in stating that the large majority of the committeemen were for Clark for president, misrepresented the facts. Mr. Flory is evidently a Wilson man and naturally sees through Wilson spectacles. The State Journal is neither a Wilson or Clark organ, but a news- pap-?r. Its estimate that three-fourths of the committeemen in Topeka on I committee meeting day were for Clark i was correct, so far as could be ascer- tained. Wilson men present that day admitted the fact that the large ma jority were for Clark. Of thirty-five committeemen approached that day only three were for Wilson. Seventh district Democratic gossip names C. K. Foley of Rice county, Ed Finnup of Finney. D. A. Ely of Pawn-?e and Judge A. B.

Boyce, was re turned here today the defense began with testimony aimed to show that Sneed thought his wife insane when ehe eloped with Captain Boyce's son. It was out of the elopement that the killing grew. W. A. Fuqua, banker of Amarillo, and partner of Sneed in the banking and cattle business, was the first wit ness. Fuqua recounted part of con versations in which he said he advised Sneed to give up his wife and start over again somewhere else. Sneed, the testified, had replied: "Mr. Fuqua, I can't do it. She is in sane. How could I ever meet my chil dren in later years if they asked where she was and if I had not tried to get their mother back?" The case took an unexpected turn when Sneed's attorneys announced that the question, of the prisoner's sanity, beginning with the period after his wire's elopement, would become an is eue in the trial.

The supreme court, after review- ins Cooper's matrimomal infelicities and the antecedent character of both Cooper and his wife as devulgea by Precords of tne divorce trial, was convinced that an order for the pro- tection and care of the child ought to enforced. "c c f h Snawnee Fire company against John H. 4 appealed from Johnson county, the supreme court held that the insurance company was not ab- solved from responsibility, even though Cosgrove had collected dam ages from a railroad company for loss of proeprty by fire. The damages collected did not cover the amount of the loss, so the insurance company must either make up the difference I between the $1,200 paid by the rail jroad and the $3,500 loss, or prosecute the railroad and collect the balance. This decision affirms the decision of the Johnson county district court. James M. Nation, former state aud itor, must look to the legislature, rather than to the supreme court of Kansas to recover the fees which he first decide whether or not Nation was entitled to the money, amounting to a little over $2,000. Nation brought suit in the supreme court and the court today held that he was entitled to the fees, but the legis lature must make an appropriation to reimburse Nation, and the court re fuse(j to order the payment until the legislature makes an appropriation, An abandoned railroad roundhouse is an "attractive nuisance" for small boys for play grounds, according to the decision of the Kansas supreme court today in the suit of George and Jennv Osborn against tne Aicnibon ToDeka Santa Fe railway, appealed from Leavenworth county. The son of the Osborns was playing on the roof of the roundhouse at Leaven worth, when he fell and was killed. There were several other boys playing on the abandoned roundhouse roof at the same time. The building was in a dilapidated condition. In the original i trial of the case it was shown that the j roof afforded a fine place for marbles 1 and other boyish games, and that the j railway employees had never attempt- ed to stop them using the roof of the 1 i,Jt c nlmr irrniinH t,rTl(a because it maintained an "attractive nuisance" without precautionary measures. Joseph M. Gentry, the actual kid napper of Marian Bleakley, the famous "incubator baby," must serve from one to five years in the Kansas peniten tiary for his part in the theft of the child from her home in Topeka three years ago. F. H. Tillotson, the Kansas City detective, who planned the kidnapping and who was convicted for it, was sentenced to serve the same term. After the governor refused a parole Tillotson has appealed to the supreme court of the United States. The Kansas supreme court affirmed the verdict against Gentry in the Jackson county court today. Gentry was not prosecutted for the kidnapping, but for the assault on C. H. Belknap, a relative of Mrs. Charlotte Bleakley, the mother of the child. Gentry went 4nto the Bleakley home when th"5 mother was absent, but Belk nap wa son guard, and when he fought to prevent Gentry from taking tha baby, he was struck on the head with a revolver by Gentry and seriously in jured. Gentry then went upstairs, broke open a door, grabbed the child, stuck a handkerchief into her mouth to stop her screams, and carried her away. Gentry, Tillotson and Mrs. Barclay, with the child were captured in Kansas City and brought back to Topeka. On ac count of the fe-eling against them the case was taken to Jackson county for trial. Tillotson was convictted of kid napping and Gentry of assault, and each given sentences of one to five years in prison. The case against Mrs. Barclay was dismissed. Tillnt Gentry both appealed to the Kansas supreme court, but the sentences were affirmed in each instance. The Kansas "Harry Thaw" case was decided by the supreme court today and George W. Clark must remain in the Kansas asylum for the dangerous insane. This asylum was established as an annex to the state penitentiary. Clark killed Ezra Carter of Kearney county, December 12, 1910. Clark was tried in April last year and it was shown that he was insane at the time of the murder. He was found not guilts- of the murder, on the ground of insanity and Judge Thompson com mitted him to the asylum for danger ous insane. Mrs. Clark brought an ap plication for a writ of habeas corpus in the Kansas supreme court to secure his release from the asylum because L"" Jilil nied the writ and Clark must remain in the asylum. Even though a man may be called a catthe thief he cannot collect damages for slander without taking into consid eration the fact of whether he really stole the cattle or not. The whole matter hinges on whether he had a good or bad reputation. W. A. Cus ter of Seward county called O. T. Wood a cattle thief, and made various other allegations against Wood's char acter in the presence of witnesses. Wood sued Custer for slander and se cured a judgment of $1,000 in the Sew ard county district court.

The supreme court atfirmed the ac tion of the Shawnee court in the case of the Manufacturers' Paper company against Arthur Capper of Topeka. The paper company alleged that Mr. Cap per owed some $l,o00 in discounts for cash that he had forfeited by failure to pay cash in 30 days. The company cancelled Its one year contract to fur nish paper to Mr. Capper. The latter brought suit for cancellation of con tract and corresponding loss through the increase in price of paper after the date of contract.

WEEKLY MARKET iOT Professional Element In Undisputed Control Tliis Week. New York, Feb. 10. The profes sional trading elements was in undis puted control of the stock market this week. The largest financial interests apparently did not wish to take a decided stand and outside participa tion in the market was so small as to be virtually a negligible factor. During the greater part of the week the mar ket was dull and movements of the leading -shares were unusually narrow. Politics was an important consid eration in reducing the volume or business. Traders were uncertain as to what turn mi.!ht be taken by the congressional investigation of the money trust. Another unsettling in fluence was discussion of the bill for reduction of the steel tariff. The copper producers' monthly had been expected huC prices of the copper stocks were marked up on the strength of the showing. Exportation of nearlv $10,000,000 goia Dars to Paris was of little effect upon the mar ket, owing to the accumulation of idle funds here. SAVES GIRLS FIRST. Boy Hero in Temple Court Buildiiif l'ire. Chicago, Feh. 10. A fire in ths Tem ple Court Building last night brought out a hero who refused to see men thrust aside women to save themselves in time of apparent danger. Robert Gartzk?, 18 years old, in charge of the elevator, shot his car to the top floor, where the blaze started, at the first alarm of fire. There he found several men and girls clamoring to g3t into the cage. The girls were thrown back by the men. "Let the girls in first." cried Gartzke, and ho slammed shut the door. No one gets in unless the girls come first," he again demanded. Then the girls were helped into the cage and as many men as could fol lowed. Gartzke made trip after trip until the building had been cleared of its ten ants. The damage by the fire was small. HE GIVES UTHETrESS. Austrian Dismisses Breach of Promise Suit Against Woman.

Edward Starz of the Austrian army, brought against Miss Helen McMurray of Troy, for $25,000 damages. The Austrian lieutenant abandoned the suit on the advice of his lawyer. "The lieutenant wa not mercenary." declared the lattsr. "His only hope in bringing the suit was to see Miss Mc Murray and win her again. When he found that he could not even spa her was broken hearted.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FEBRUARY ,10, 1912 3 TELL OFJIEW ONES Several Deals Likely to lie An nounced on Owners' Return. Buyers Can Save Exactly $1,250 Each Tarson Farthing', Omaha, Pnlls Off Bemarkable Stunt. how mmmm missed him Oklahoma Should Be Consid ered in Ten Town Scheme. iii f 66 T jl (s5 fLTL?5 Ounthorpe Trying to Get Fran chise in Central Leaerue. It is likely that several deals will be announced following the return of the magnates from the schedule meet ing in the big smoky. The owners are talking trade to beat the band upon most such occasions and this one will likely be no exception. Holland and It-bell are particularly anxious to se cure a couple of the Sox magnates cast-offs. Of course Commy has play ers lor sale and will sell them to who ever pays him most and speaks quick est. But Comiskey has a team in which he is vitally interested in the Western this year. This is at Lincoln. Commy will be expected to slip the Antelopes something in the way of equipment for the coming contest. All of which recalls the question of the wisdom of purchasing optional play ers. It's not the best system in the world although it's allowable when a team is to be built up. You will no tice, however, that Rourke. MaGill and Isbel, as well as Sioux City own ers, have fought shy of the optional player as much as possible. They are never satisfied, these players secured in this way, and Higgins, the king pin of the men who used optional players, always had trouble getting his men to sign. The demoralizing effect of a man who is discontented because he has been in faster company, if only for a tryout. more than offsets any advantage which may arise from his t-plendid playing ability. And then, of course, it depends a great deal on the kind of a player you get. j Parson Farthing, the Rourke fling er, is one of the most unique charac ters in baseball today. Farthing had a. bad year last season and the contract mailed him this year called for a cut in salary. Instead of holding out or trying to at least get an advance in salary over what the contract called lor he signed up the same day it was received. Rourke surely should do the handsome thing by this Farthing per fon. It is worth something to have such a man on the club. It hasn't been but a short time that Farthing was the pitching marvel of the Ne braska Aggies. He made a tour of Kansas with that team. Among other teams he played against and defeated were the Kansas Aggies. He outpitch ed Baird, the crack K. S. A. C. and Central Kansas twirler on this trip find "Army" Armstrong, then manag ing the Junction City club, immediate ly made overtures, offering to break the salary limit if the youngster would sign up. Farthing didn t sign any pa pers but said he would. Baird. the jiitcher he defeated in Manhattan, played in the Salina team. Farthing returned to his home state and before Armstrong got action on his youngster Bourke had signed the Parson. He lias- been on the Omaha list ever since. Gunthorpe. who tried vainly to se cure the Lincoln franchise during the late unpleasantness, is now trying to get a franchise in the Central league. Gunthorpe is sure to make a lot of frii-- ds whatever circuit he may break In i. There is a letter from Barney Mc Grath at this office. It is from San Marcial. X. M. Can it be that "our" Barney has? wandered such a distance? There is a suspicion that such is the case, as McGrath has subscribed for the State Journal just as a man who wants to keep track of the dope should do. Oklahoma City wants into the West ern league. The franchise in the Tex as league has been removed to Beau mont. The other Texas towns wanted to be rid of the Oklahoma manage ment, which had the unhappy faculty of always being "in bad." Oklahoma City is a good ball town with the right kind of people behind the team but even the fans there get tired of the Aimer Davis stuff. If there's anything to the gossip of making the Western a ten club leagve there are wornp towns In the world than the one south of us. From the reports made by the vari ous league managers last year the fourth ownership in the Grizzlies which McGill offers to Hendricks is n fairiy profitable proposition. But .Tack is" rich in his own name now and doesn't need the money unless he has pushed that recent inheritance across in fairly rapid style. ST. I.Ol'IS SIGNS TKX MILLION".

Itib Compast, Lowell. Maas. Lawrence, Kan., Feb. 10. If the number of athletes who come out to do speed work every afternoon on the indoor track in Robinson gym nasium Is any criterion, the Univer sity of Kansas should be well repre sented In track and field events dur ing the coming season. Each even ing from 70 to 100 bare-legged ath letes may be seen performing in the gymnasium here preparatory to the opening of the speed calendar in col lege circles. The material at the dis posal of Coach Hamilton this season not only looks well in regard to num bers, but many of the many men who have offered themselves to do track services have shown real class and the coach sees developing from this squad one of the fastest track teams that Kansas university has turned out for some time. Both old and new men who have made good records in the past on the varsity and fresh men teams are striving for regular berths. This seems to be the only sport in which a large number of veterans are represented at the uni versity this year. The first test of the Kansas strength on the track will be on February 19, when the team meets the squad from I'.aker in an indoor dual engagement. This will be the initial tryout for the varsity men and should give Coach Hamilton a good line on the person nel of the 1912 K. U. track team. Baker is said to have, a strong team this year and if the reports which have been sent out from Baldwin are indicative of their strength the Meth odists should show the Jayhawkers a good time. Hope to Beat Tigers. After the Baker meet the next event is scheduled to be held in Con vention hall with Missouri. This is always the big event in Indoor athletic circles and the rivalry between the two schools Is as great as ever. It is the one ambition of Kansas to cap ture this annual contest and early in dications point towards a satisfaction of this desire. Missouri has been in the habit of running away with the Kansas City meet and the Tigers re gard a Missouri victory simply as a "natter of course, but since Hamilton's nen defeated the Missourians so de Isively two years ago in the outdoor neet there has been a feeling here hat this victory should be repeated ndoors. Missouri is to be represented this .ear by some of the fastest men in he conference and by athletes who lave distinguished themselves by their Cellar work on the track. Missouri has lost a few good men, but che big majority will be seen again in their abbreviated uniforms doing stunts around the big circle. Bermond, the fleet-footed half and quarter-miler who left the Kansas runners in the rear last year, is back at Columbia again and will be seen in action when the two schools meet In Convention hall on March 29. Nicholson will take care of the high jump and the hur dles for the Tigers while Kircksey is out for another season of low hur dling and sprinting. Wickleman is billed for the long distance events with the able assistance of Jack Can non, the crack one-miler! Although Anderson, it is understood, is the only old man back for the weights, Roberts of last year's freshmen bears a good record with the discus. Missouri also has a number of good looking fresh men to choose from this year. Eaeh College Has Team of 17. Each of the two Missouri valley schools will be represented by 17 of their best men in the Convention hall meet and there should be a good ex hibition of track work when they come together. From the five score of men who have reported to Coach Hamilton this spring 17 will be chosen to defend Kansas and bring back the long end of the score from her ancient rivals. Captain French and Hazen are to be matched with Nicholson in the high jump. Wood bury and Hazen will take care of the low hurdles while Wilson seems to have everything his own way in the broad jump. Wilson holds the uni versity broad jump record of 22 feet 10 inches. Woodbury, Jones and Hite are the Kansas pole vaulter3. Woodbury has a record of 11 feet 6 inches. The Tiger weight men will be opposed by Ammons and Bowers, while V. Wood, Bramwell and Burn ham may show enough class to qunl ify. Davis is the premier Kansas sprinter, while Patterson will contest the mile run with Cannon and is also out for the two-mile against Bermond. Murry, Stark and Adair are also can didates for this event. Fairchilds and McMillan will compete with Bermond for honors in the half. Among the other Kansas men who are showing up in good form and give promise of developing into good ma terial are Gribble in the quarter and relay; Eugene Davis, quarter and half; Perry, hurdles; G. Smith, quar ter and relay; R. C. Davis, half mile: Kabler, dashes;. Dolde, Keplinger and Ben Davis, in the quarter; Babb, in the quarter and 220, and Cramer, in the pole vault.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUE1TAL FEBEUABY ,10, 1912 HAILR0AD NEWS Hock Island May Resurrect "A Man" Advertising. IVell Known Feature of Old Days Is Generally Farored. HAS OLD HOTEL STATUETTE Topeka Passenger Agent Finds One at llolton. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. "A man who Is unacquainted with the geography of his country Who does not remember the above expression? It is a form of advertis ing that was used so many years by the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railway. In late years it has been abandoned for more modern girl-head and beach scene posters proclaiming the climate of the lands touched by the road. But the Ttock Island Lines today, after passing nearly a generation of administrations the road is looking with longing eyes on the old "A Man" advertisement. James A. Stewart, general passenger agent of the Rock Island in Topeka, has dug up out of a hotel in Holton, Kansas, an old statuette of the "A Man'' advertisement. It represents a man standing in front of a Rock Island map studying its course. His prip sits at his feet and he holds a folder in his hand. The advertisement is about three feet high and two feet wide and is as heavy as a man can carry. General Passenger Agent Stewart is having this statuette cleaned and ficoured. It will be mounted in his of fice and kept as a valuable souvenir of the old methods of the road's ad vertising. These advertisements were placed in hotels, restaurants, public' buildings and stations all over the country. Will T'se the Ads Again. Mr. Stewart admitted this afternoon that the Rock Island had resurrected a number of their old "A Man" ad vertisements. Recently several of these advertisements have appeared in Chicago, St. Louis and Omaha papers. It is considered one of the greatest a.ds in railroad history. For many vears the Rock Island was familiarly known as the "A Man" railroad. Very few advertisements of the time at tracted the attention of this clever idea. The ad was originated many years ago by K. St. John who was general passenger agent. St. John brought the attention of the Rock Island officers to his door when he was a city pas senger agent writing local advertise ments. When he was appointed gen eral passenger agent he started the "A Man" idea and it flooded the country. It would not be surprising some day to find the "A Man" advertising run ning throughout the press and maga zines of the country. It will be a re lief. Railroads have an idea now days that pretty girls, women in bathing costume, blooming orange trees and shapely feminine forms bring publicity to their road. TUBERCULOSIS CAB OX B. O.

The Baltimore Ohio railroad has unlisted in the crusade for extermina tion of tuberculosis, having fit ted up an anU-tuberculoals car at its Mount.

FREE COWS FOR THE FARMERS. Canadian Pacific Will Farm Out 45 Milch Cattle for a Aear. The Canadian Pacific, railway has purchased a shipment of forty-me carefully selected milch sows from the Slc'nitv of Owen Sound Ontario for shipment to the road's d?onstra"Jl farm at Strathmore, Alberta, next spring. These cows will be distributed among the Knglish settlers in the readv-made larm colonies o til 1913. The plan was adopted on a smaller scale some years ago owing to the difficulty of securing good milch cows in Alberta, and with the idea or assisting the ready-made farmer to improve his stock. Next spring the shipment will be distributed in bunches of five or six to be held bv the settlers for one year without payment of interest or money. t the end of that time they may be returned to the company or pur chased at the cost price to the Cana dian Pacific railway. They will be wintered and tested at the Canadian Pacific Railway Demonstration farm at Strathmore. Canadian railway offi cials believe that by inaugurating schemes of this sort the western farms are materially helped. NEW ROCK ISLAND" EQUIPMENT.

House Majority Tries to Undo Great Work. CHANGED i OILY 14 MONTHS Kansan Shows Inconsistency of Newer Members. Declares They Voted Against Promised Legislation. Washington, D. C, Feb. 10. The amendment adopted a few days ago by the Democratic House which puts sus pensions of the rules eecond in the pro visions of the calendar, instead of leav ing suspensions third, places the legis lative condition of that branch of con gress back to the old order of things which the Democrats joined two years ago with the insurgent Republicans in changing. It is apparent that the Democrats found that this rule under which the Republican majority had done business for so many years was a good thing and for their own protection against filibuster felt the dire necessity of re storing it. Congressman Phil P. Campbell of Kansas went after the Democrats in a red hot manner and showed up ttra in consistency of their change of front on this action. In addressing the House, he said: "If this rule is adopted, you Demo crats will undo in 40 minutes what it took a campaign of two years to do. That campaign was waged in the news papers, in the magazines, on Chautau qua platforms, and on the stump, everywhere. The country was fanned into a fury for a reform that would give power to the representatives of the people by taking that powr away from the Speaker. Many rules were adopted, but those who wanted real power for the representatives of the people were not satisfied until the rule was adopted that enabled the House to discharge a reluctant committee from the consideration of a bill. When that was done, it was proclaimed to the country that we had brought this House back to the people, and upon that boast and that issue the speaker of the House and the leaders of the present majority went before the coun try and made a campaign. "They said, 'We now have rules that were made by reformers. It is neces sary that we shall retain these rules, and in order to do that we must have a Democratic majority, because the wicked Republicans will make an op portunity and inaugurate a reaction against these rules.' And They Were Elected. "The country believed it, and many of you gentlemen on that side are hold ing seats pro tempore made on that campaign. Tour terms began 11 short months ago; you have conducted the business for general legislation three short months; and today you have in augurated a reactionary movement. "Ara you not satisfied with the exer cise of the power that was given you by clause 4 of Rule XXVII, giving you the power to take away from a reluc tant committee a bill that it refused to report? Why are you giving this power so recently taken from him back to the Speaker of this House?" Why the Reactionary Measure. "Mr. Speaker, why has this reaction been inaugurated? Is the speaker tired of occupying an easy chair; does he long for the old power, responsibility, and political leadership of the office in other days? Is it his desire for power, or is the gentleman from Alabama tired of the lash and the reins togeth er? From this day on we shall have two sitting on the box, the speaker of the house holding the reins and the gentleman from Alabama using the lash. (Laughter and applause on the Republican fride.) Heretofore the ger tleman from Alabama has done both. Is that the reason you have offered an amendment that will emasculate this rule, or is it because you are tired of being driven, like reluctant slaves, be tween tellers, voting down bills that you have declared that you were in favor of? You have already voted ogair.?t many bills that you have de clared for on every stump in the coun try and in your districts. You voted against the following bills under tha i rule you nullify: Vote Against Bills. j "A bill providing for the physical valuation of railroads. "A bill to regulate the hours of work uf postoliice clerks employed in first and second-class postoffices. "A bill granting pensions to soldiers confined in so-called confederate pris ons "A bill providing that the statute cf limitations shall not be interposed in any suit brought by any laborer, work man, or mechanic in the court of claims against the United States to recover wages claimed to be due him under the national eight-hour law. "A bill to extend the penny-postage rate on local delivery first-class mail matter to postoffices where the system of free delivery is established. "A bill to amend section 2 of an act entitled 'An act to increase the pensions of widows.' "A bill to create a tariff board (by Mr. Payne). "A bill to amend an act entitled An act granting to certain employees of the United States the right to receive from it compensation for injuries sus tained in the course of their employ ment. "A bill to provide and pay additional compensation to the rural free delivery carriers of mail in the United States and providing an appropriation therefor. "You voted all these bills down. Ev ery Democrat voted against them while every Republican voted for them." KAXSA1VS BUY SCTFLOWER SEED Import It to Feed Chickens, Pigeons and Canaries. Kansas City, Feb. 10. A carload of sunflower eed passed through here to day billed from Europe for Kansas, the great "3unflower state." "What on earth are Kansans im porting sunflower seed for?" the man ager of a seed company here was fcsked. "For feeding chickens, pigeons and canaries." he replied. "But why don't they use their own seed?" "That's an interesting story." went or. the manager. "The seed from the Kan res sunflower is just as good as any but the people don't gather it any more. They are so aristocratic that they buy the imported product. Twenty years ago we handled sunilower eeed from Kansas by the ealdoad for poultry ieca in tne east, but that is now a loigonu-. industry."

TO MAKE KEW ROUTE PERFECT, j Central Kansas and Colorado Boule vard to Be Finished Soon. i Tribune, Kan., P"eb. 10. Clement L. vvilson, president of the Central Kan sas and Colorado Boulevard, has re cently made a trip west into Colorado along the Missouri Pacific, and he finds that at Eads, Colo., the county commissioners of Kiowa county and the commissioners of Pueblo county. Colorado, with the state highway com mission of Colorado, have made ar rangements to complete the central Kansas and Colorado boulevard through the sand hills of Kiowa coun ty. I he county commissioners have not decided whether they will jipp the road or oil it, but that one or the other things will be done early this spring so that the automobile travel may be brought through central Kan sas along the Missouri Pacific from fcalina, Hoisington, Lacrosse, Mc cracken, Utiea, Scott City, Leoti and 5une' thenc'e west to the state line at Towner, Sheridan Lake, Eads, Has well, Arlington, Sugar City, Ordway, Colo., and thence west into Pueblo. This will make a direct line connect "'frr'1111 SaIina and Kansas City, Mo. This road is absolutely level, well built high and dry.

WILL LET BRYAN TELL He Will Be First Witness in Investlga tion of the Money Trust. Washington, Feb. 10. William Jen nings Bryan will be the first witness to be summoned before the house com mittee on banking and currency to tes- tiry in the "money trust" Investiga tion, which the Democratic caucus, re pudiating Mr. Bryan's demand for a special committee, referred to stand ing committees of the house. Mr. Bryan trod on the toes of the Democratic members of the commi tee when he recently declared the "money trust" thought It could control the committee. The committee insists that Mr. Bryan must explain what he meant, notwithstanding the fact that the Bryan adherents in the caucus Wednesday night offered a resolution, which was adopted, expressing confi dence in the integrity of their col leagues on that committee. "The committee is a unit." said Rep resentative Pujo, chairman of the banking and currency committee, "in the decision that Mr. Bryan must ex plain to us exactly what he meant." Mr. Bryan is credited with saying: "Democrats, beware. The money trust, having failed in Its efforts to prevent an investigation, is now try ing to force an investigation bv the banking committee. The fact that the money trust wants that committee en trusted with the investigation, is proof positive that it thinks it can control that committee." In marked contrast to the proposals made by Representative Henry of Tex as for an investigation of the "money trust," was a resolution introduced by Representative Pujo, eliminating all specific reference to the "money trust." The Pujo resolution was ap proved by the majority members of the committee to which the Democratic caucus referred most of the inquiry. The Pujo resolution sets forth that the "committee ia desirous of securing full and complet information regard ing the banking and currency condi tions of the country for the purpose of determining what legislation is needed." and authorizing it to sit as a whole or by sub-committee during the session or recess of congress and to compel the attendance of witnesses. "This resolution has been introduced by me upon my own responsibility and reflects only my personal views," said Representative Pujo. HOME OUT OF GOAL. An Appeal to Vladivostok for an Ice Cotter.

When Senator LaFollette's speech to the publishers in Philadelphia, was men tioned Mr. Murdock said that he could look upon the whole affair only as a collapse. "This is not a day of Napoleon or close and absolute following of big leaders." he told the students. "The spirit of this hour is one of popular inouiry: it centers around the in creasing power of privilege over the legislative. executive and judicial branches of our government, and the dangerous shift of power into the courts. Big business says let us have eace and a cessation of agitation on the part of this demagogue. I be long to a chin m this nation that does not propose- peace at the expense of human liberty.

Whipple retiring paymaster general of the array told the committee that charges of conduct un becoming a gentleman and an officer against Major Ray had been suppressed at the suggestion of President Taft. Ray. it is charged took active part in tlu Taft campaign of 1908 and his poli tical activity has been under investi gation by the congressional committee. General Whipple said that twice Major Ray had escaped trial on charges which he, the general, believed war ranted prosecution.

Word has been received that Miss jRrritrt Tanner of 314 West Laurent Says ITo Had Many Chances to Sell Topeka Players. Additional mileage but shorter visits at home and around the circuit will mark the new schedule of the Western league according to president "Arch" Catlin of the local club who returned this morning from the schedule meet- ing in Chicago. After 4 games at j home this spring the Kaws jump to j Lincoln for four games. Then the j team conies home for 8 games. Then the players leave for a. twelve game i trip'. And so the schedule for the en tire season runs. The Topeka team has 12 Sunday games at home. Two of the Sunday games played away from home are at St. Joseph and two are played in Den ver. A number of Saturday games are to be played by- the local players at Denver. Although the local manage ment opposed the long schedule the of ficers have no kick to make, admtiting that underthe long schedule plan the present schedule is O. K. Ail AYatit "Our Money." The most important part of 'the meet ing in Chicago, according- to Mr. Catlin was the number of chances he had to sell three Topeka players. They are Kins, Emory and Lee. the new shortstop. Em ory was more in demand than the others but there were a number of offers for the shortstopper and several inquiries as to what would be asked for King. Mr. Cat lin refused to put a price on any of the players. Dale Gear has sold Pitcher Luddin of the Pennsylvania State league to tl- Wheeling team. Luddin didn't look ar v too good and Gear received more money than was paid for the twirler. Mr. Catlin says that Walsh, the brainv second base candidate, whom it was thought might decline to sign his con tract, has signed up and Gear is thus made happy. One of the acts of the owners at the schedule meeting was the reducing of the waiver price to $4X. This price has prevailed in the Southern league, the only other class A organization, for sev eral vearp. ner street and a number of laprobes, horse blankets, the remains of an over coat made of buffalo hide, a pearl han dled revolver, a guitar and two cush ions that have been taken out of a ca boose, were recovered. In addition to this the police believe that they have the gang, the members of which have been snatching pocketbooks in the city as well as those which have commit ted other robberies. Members of this gang stole the mus ic box out of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. buil'.ng New Year's day and si"p ped it, with a quantity of other goods, to Sharon Springs, and the police be lieve that they will succeed in recov ering a part of the stolen articles. Members of this gang grabbed a pock etbook out of the hands of Miss Carol Hannum Thursday night and it is thought that some of them grabbed the pocketbook out of the hands of Misa Mihleison. A number of other deeds are charg ed against this gang and the police think that they were lucky in pulling off such a successful raid. They re gard it as the biggest catch that has beer, made in the city for several months. The boys were given a severe ques tioning tills morning but have not told very- much. However, the police have learned that one of the boyjwas with Bert Mills several weeks ago when he grabbed a pocketbook from Miss Hous ton in the western part of the city. The boys were found in a vacant house at 406 Branner street. Two of them intended to leave Topeka last night but were arrested before mak ing the start. The other two planned to remain here until the latter part of next week, during which time they had planned to pull off several stunts before leaving the city for a while. Higgins alias Brown is one that was hunted by the police last fall and was wanted on the charge of burglary. He and two other boys burglarized a house on Third and Locust streets.

GORDON HAS A HOVEL SUBJECT Will Preach Sunday Xijrht on "Ke- membering Another Man's Wife. Rev. Robert Gordon, pastor of the First Baptist church, has announced he will speak Sunday night on, "Remembering Another Man's Wife." On being asked by fetate Journal reporter whether that theme was found in the Bible or the newspaper, he replied, "In both, my friend. There are three striking Scripp ture stories dealing with that topic but you newspaper men consider this your specialty, and usually give it the front page and set it up under tall head lines. "In fact the suggestion that 1 preach on this subject came from my board of deacons. They feel as I do that there is need for plain speaking on some specific sins. Read the gospels through with this idea in mind and you will see that Jesus very seldom spoke in generics. He said to the young millionaire dying of acute covetousness, 'Go sell all that thou hast; and to the woman who was living with one not her husband, "Where is thy husband?" "Of course that sort of talk isn't popu lar: it disturbs equanimity. But then that is the preacher's business, is it not? There isn't much profit in asserting we are all miserable sinners. A package of needles makes no impression but one point prpessed home gets under the skin. How ever I shall have nothing to say that a sixteen year old girl ought not to hear." DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

The staff of the United States Life Insurance com pany has just completed a ten days' job of washing and ironing which was probably without precedent in down- Itown New York. The "wash" which they hung on lines strung across the vault of a big Wall street bank and then ironed out carefully with electric irons, consisted of 3,000 pieces of paper representing more than $3,000,000. The securities were salvaged from the subcellar vaults of the burned Equitable building a fortnight ago. i Thousands of gallons of water had filtered through them while they lay i there, and the papers were soaked al- Imost to a pulp when removed from their resting place. "We tried to dry them with blotting paper, said Secretary Kenway of the company, "and we blotted and blotted away at the wet securities for almost a week but the moisture refused come out. Then we ordered a dozen electric fans and a dozen electric irons. When these were sent down to our new vault, we strung ropes across the vault and hung the 3,000 bond certili cates out to dry in the breeze from the fans. The certificates were at tached with regulation wooden clothes pins. As soon as each paper was par tially dry, one of us spread it on an ironing board and carefully ironed out. About the .-.n!y thing we did not use which a laundry does is bluing and starch. "The ironing of ",000 pieces of laundry isn't easy work and we are quite proud of the result, for not one of the 3,000 bonds is in the slightest degree torn or damaged."

John Doe pro ceedings that have been instituted by Assistant District Attorney Ford to ascertain whether the New- York Mercantile exchange, an organization of butter and egg men, controls prices and is a conspiracy in restraint of trade are expected by the public prosecutor to show that two members of the exchange arbitrarily fixed prices for the four hundred members of the organization. The prosecutor said today that these two men each day visited several places of business of certain mem bers of the exchange, made "real or pretended" inquiries as to the state of the egg and butter market. After this inquiry a list of prices was posted on the exchange. The prosecutor says that the exchange by this method has crushed out competition and that by the arrangement the members are able to buy eggs and butter at the lowest possible price in the "flush" season and store them and to sell them in the winter months at the highest possible price.

Feb. 10. After giving a detailed account of how he had been enticed into a counterfeiting den in Peaceful Valley by Harry Adams, now serving a term of eight years in the federal penitentiary at McNeil's Island, Louis Barlow was freed today by a jury in the United States court of the charge of passing counterfeit coins. Barlow said he left his home in Grand Forks, N. D., two years ago, drifted to Spokane. He declared the coins he tried to pass had been given him bv Adams, and that, owing to his poor eyesight, he failed to detect the fraud. Adams recently pleaded guilty and said that Barlow was a partner. HIS AUTO KILLS HIM. Confederate Veteran Cranks Car "On the High." Athens, Ga., Feb. 10. Former State Representative John G. C.

ARE DISGRUNTLED Mr. Locknane Says Woodmen Rates Are Lowest Any Society in America Will Be Permitted to Do Business On. Charles S. Locknane, state deputy of the Modern Woodmen of America, con nected with the organizing; department of the society for seventeen years, was seen yesterday and asked as to the re ported dissatisfaction among the mem bership touching the recent action in raise of rates, among other things said "The detailed tables adopted at Chi cago have not yet been gotten out to our. membership and very naturally our peo ple not being informed, thereon, are guessing as to what the specific meas ure adopted was. We have one and one fourth million members and to get out this printed matter and in the hands of each individual member will take a lit tle time, but I am assured that such will be out in the next few days and I know that from the sentiment expressed by members in our camps to which such has been in detail explained, that we will not have only a satisfied but a very en thusiastic membership thereon when such is fully understood. "The alleged organized movement re ported of 'secession' is a joke. There can be no such thing as 'secession' in the M. W. A. Individual members can, if they choose, lapse from the society, but there is no state organization for 'secession.' "At Kansas City, Kan., with a meet ing advertised for a week in the public press for this purpose to which the 3,300 members of that county were in vited, but one hundred and five mem bers appeared at the meeting and but twelve of them voted for the appoint ment of a committee to 'investigate the feasibility of secession.' At Winfield, Kan., a disgruntled, unsuccessful can didate for society honors, and another member with a record of being ex-president of an already defunct society, are sending out circulars calling upon mem bers and camps to secede and offering to take the members into a new society without a medical examination. That action was not indorsed by the camp at Winfield and its only substantial basis is that a few disgruntled members calling themselves a 'mass meeting,' took such action. Every person at all familiar with insurance regulations of the state knows well that such offer is mis leading and impossible. If any mem ber doubts my statement, that all fra ternal societies must require a medical examination of the members, he can verify such through the Attorney Gen eral's office or the office of the Super intendent of Insurance at Topeka. No member of our society should be misled by such untruthful and dastardly state ments. At El Dorado seven or eight disgruntled members gathered in a little room, called themselves a 'mass conven tion,' in keeping with the famous action of the 'three tailors of London' who pro mulgated resolutions denominating themselves, 'We, the people of England,' are throwing out to the press mislead ing statements. "In the Thursday State Journal ap peared another 'fake' report from Kan sas City, Kan., of the same character as the above. Our members should be warned against these unreliable reports that emanate from the minds of de stroyers and not builders. "The new rates of the Modern Wood men are the lowest that any society in in America can or will be allowed to do business upon. "The fact is that twenty-four other fraternal societies have called conven tions for this year to raise the rate in keeping with state legislation enacted. Fifty-one other societies have already in recent jears raised their rates but near ly all of them will have to raise again. "At Chicago the Head Camp was con fronted with the disastrous experiences of other societies which procrastinated in the raising of the rates until the old age element had grown so large that they had to raise them so high that twenty-four fraternal societies in the last ten years have been compelled to go out of business. The American Legion of Honor put off re-rating until its membership of sixty years of age had to pay $144.00 on $1,000 per year. It left 40,000 gray haired members who had paid for twenty-five and thirty years, with worthless certificates on their hands. The Knights of Honor, a pow erful organization as it has been, today is collecting $7.00 per thousand per month from its members of sixty years of age. In some of the jurisdictions of the A. O. U. W., a rate of $7.94 per month per thousand dollars is being re quired. The grand old Royal Arcanum through procrastination has a rate of $5.36 in its laws on its members of 63 years of age. In every legislative dis trict over our country are scores of men holding worthless policies in defunct Mutual Life companies and fraternal societies. The Modern Woodmen has seen fit while still making growth to meet this issue before it has such an old age element as to make a necessary raise of rates so high as to be prohibi tive. "Through the unparalleled record of the Modern Woodmen in securing mem bership of younger j'ears in 1910, adopt ing 163,000 members at an average age of 29 years is an illustration. "We have but 12 per cent of our mem bers above 50 years of age, yet one-third of our deaths last year accrued through this 12 per cent of membership. In five years we will have fully 325,000 in these higher ages. In ten years we will have over one-half million of our membership in the higher ages. In the light of the experience of other societies which put off until too late proper re-rating, it would be criminal to further lead the rank and file of our membership to go on paying for a long term of years, into an institution which could never pos sibly, upon our present rate pay their certificates. A 25 per cent and 33 1-3 per cent increases by fraternal societies have been the graveyard of all societies pursuing such tactics. Common hon esty dictates that we find the cost, and when so found be fair with our member ship in the adoption of such. Every member of our society should know that when he receives the next issue of our official paper and studies the various plans adopted that whatever plan he freely chooses for January 1, 1913, all being computed on the same adequate table that the amount promised will be paid as truly as a note of the Bank of England. "For ten years the question of rates has been a burning issue in our society. In 1903 we went through the most ex tensive campaign ever known in any society in America, resulting only in a compromise measure. At the Buffalo convention the committee on state and national legislation, composed of dele gates only, brought in a report showing that sixteen states had enacted legisla tion and the commitee gave as its judg ment that an imperative necessity exist ed that the Modern Woodmen should raise its rates. The 778 delegates voted unanimously that a special session be held in Chicago tc consider the rate question. Our mem bers should appreciate that rates voted for by 460 delegates elected as they were from Maine to California, must have very great merit in them. Adverse judgment, inflamed in invidious spirits and possibly agents of old line compan ies and unfraternal fraternal societies should be suspended until full informa tion is obtained. "The man who misleads and causes one of our good, old, gray haired mem bers to drop his protection in our society through bad temper or misguiding judg ment will certainly have a reckoning with his 'Satanic Majesty.' "I wish to say in adjective, in the sup relative, and adverb in the imperative, that every society in America will have to raise its rates as high or higher than the Modern Woodmen. If any member is misled and deserts us, in years to come, as my prediction comes true, I want him to write to me and say, 'Neighbor Locknane, you told me so.' "Keep in mind that if these rates should prove too high so as to raise more money than is needed, a provision obtains that assessments will be skipped so that nobody will pay more than id actually necessary to make sure that our certificates will be paid. "We have until January 1 next year to study, investigate and know. Camps should pass no resolutions and individ uals should take no action until full in formation is at hand and fully discussed. Competitors are willing to pay higli to anybody who will get our members to desert us. "Any member who wishes to continue his membership on the actual cost plan is given an opportunity to do so through one of the options known as the 'step rate plan.' This plan is similar to the plan used by the A. O. U. W. of Kansas and is very attractive to G5 years of age, and meets the approval of all people who are afraid of reserve funds and who prefer to carry their own reserve in their pockets. The 'step rate plan' ad vances by five-year steps, just as the Kansas A. O. U. W. does. The monthly rates, according to ages (with the ex ception of the addition of a slight per centage of loading on the younger ages as in other plans, with no loading on the older ages), will be as follows: STEP RATE PLAN. 20 $0.30 40 $0.39 25 32 4 5 51 30 31150 69 35 .34 55 99 ;60 to 63 1.60 "The above table will be furnished in complete form soon. "This option is the equivalent of any other option given the members from which to choose, and the new plan, through some one of the options, will give every present member, as well as the new ones to come, an opportunity to carry insurance according to his own fancy as to plan. "In the confidence inspired as to sol vency, I am confident that within six months we will have the most enthu siasistic sentiment ever known in the history of our society; that hence for ward our society will have the American field of life insurance among classes of men we have not heretofore been able to enlist with us, and that within ten years we will have more members than the three largest old line companies put together." 1

Lin coln more than either of the other two in fact, more than any other Chief Magistrate of the United States, emphasizes that unique characteristic of our institutions, that the highest offloe within the gift of this great people is not beyond the reach of any of its citizens, no matter how humble his origin or how unpromising his early condition. Abraham Lincoln was born and reared amid those deprivations which are known only to the abject poverty of the frontier life of the first half of the last century. Early in youth he was compelled to shift for him self, and with a nature readily adapt able to the varying fortunes of the pioneer he acquired, disciplined and strengthened that self-reliance which so pre-eminently fitted him for the most tremendous task ever Imposed upon a President. After serving his country as Chief Magistrate during the four years most momentous in American history he was re-nominated by the Republican party on June Sth, 1864, at old Front Street Theatre in Baltimore. His re-election followed as a matter of course, and It was the very cruelty of fate that Just as the heavy burdens of his ad ministration were lifted and peace was once more abroad in the land, he should receive his death wound at the hand of a misguided player. Springfield, Illinois, was the home of Lincoln for thirty years, and the house in which he spent, perhaps, his happiest days, and the only piece of real estate he ever owned, is now open to the public. After the death of Mrs. Lincoln, in 1882, Honorable Robert T. Lincoln, the only surviving child of the dead President, presented the house to the State of Illinois on con- a memorial. It is at present a sort of museum of Lincoln relics, and ven erated shrine to the admirers of that great statesman. Washington City is filled with mem ories of Lincoln and the places ho used to visit. The little New York Avenue Presbyterian Church is one of them, for there President Lincoln attended divine service, and it was in this modest little temple of worship that one of the many funeral ser mons was preached while his body was on its way to Springfield. Sev eral years ago the one hundredth an niversary of the Church was cele brated, and on this occasion Colonel Roosevelt, who was at that time the Chief Executive of the nation, de livered a stirring address while stand ing in the Lincoln pew. The house in which Lincoln died stands on Tenth street, just opposite Ford's Theatre. At the time of the assassi nation it was owned and conducted as a lodging house by William Peter son. One of the lodgers who hap pened to see the wounded President carried from the theatre directed that he be brought into the house where he died early the next morning. The house was purchased by the Govern ment some years ago and contains a private collection of Lincoln relics which is owned by Mr. Osborn H. Olroyde, the custodian of the property. The collection is replete with in- dition that it should be preserved as teresting things pertaining to the martyred President, There la even the old cooking stove from the Lin coln home, and the wooden office chair from Mr. Lincoln's law office in Springfield the one in which he sat when he drafted his first Inaugural address before leaving for Washing ton in 1860. There is also the old Bible belonging to the Lincoln fam ily, now more than a hundred years old. The means taken to perpetuate the I memory of Lincoln are numerous, and a large number of monuments have been erected in different parts of the country and with the exception of monuments in honor of Washington there have been more erected to the memory of Lincoln than to any other man in this country, and the cost of these memorials, the gift of a grate ful people, have run into millions of dollars. On May 4th, 1865, President Lin coln's body was deposited in the re ceiving vault in Oak Ridge Cemetery at Springfield, Illinois, and a few days later the Lincoln Monument Associa tion was formed, its object being to build a memorial to him in the City of Springfield, and as the result of this movement there is a splendid monument over his tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery near that City. It contains the catacomb where his body rests, together with that of his wife and children and that of his grand son, Abraham Lincoln. The Presi dent's body rests in a plain marble sarcophagus with the word "LIN COLN" on cne end surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The famous quotation from his second Inaugural Address, "With malice toward none, with charity for all," is also carved upon the tomb. In the rear of the catacomb Is a memorial hall in which a number of interesting relics are kept. Although many memorials to the statesman have since been erect ed the Springfield monument is by far the most imposing of any and cost nearly $200,000.00. The State of Illinois contributed $50,000.00 to the fund, and $10,000.00 was given by the State of New York. The shaft is built of granite in the shape of an obelisk, and is ninety-eight feet in height, and seventy-two and one-half feet square at the base. A colossal statue of Lincoln In bronze is the cen tral figure, with the coat-of-arms of the United States just below him. On each corner are striking groups in bronze representing the infantry, cavalry, artillery and army. The statuary is -the work of Larkin G. Meade. It was unveiled with great ceremony, in 1874, the veil being drawn aside by two Sisters of Charity, who were invited to perform the duty owing to the self-sacrificing devotion of their Order in nursing the wound ed soldiers during the Civil War. An attempt was made to steal the body of Mr. Lincoln on the night of No vember 7th, 1876, and a corner was broken from the sarcophagus by the thieves. Since that time the tomb has been carefully guarded. Washington City has two me morials to Lincoln. One of them is a Doric column of white marble capped with a heroic figure of the martyred President. The statue is the work of Scott Flannery, and is one of the few full figures in marble the majority of the other memorials being cast in bronze. It stands in front of the Court House and was paid for by public subscription by the citizens of the District of Colum bia, and was unveiled in 1869. The other memorial is in Lincoln Park not far from the Congressional Li brary. It is known as the Emanci pation Statue, and represents the benefactor of the slaves holding the Emancipation Proclamation in his hand while a slave is kneeling un shackled at his feet. The statue is about twelve feet high and was cast in bronze in Munich at the expense of $17,000.00, and was paid for by con tributions from the colored freemen of the United States. The first five dollars received came from an old colored woman and was her first earnings after the emancipation. The monument was unveiled April 14th, 1876, on the eleventh anniversary of the assassination of Lincoln, with Frederick Douglass as the orator of the occasion. Lincoln Is honored at the Capitol in both painting and sculpture, for several paintings In which he is the central figure hang upon the walls of the different rooms. The rotunda where his body lay in state before it was sent to Springfield contains two memorials, one a head and shoulders of rather mammoth proportions, which was given to the Government by Mr. Ernest Meyer, and is the work of Gutzon Borglum. The other is a beautiful lifelike, full length statue of the dead President, by Vinnle Ream Hoxie. It was purchased by the Government for $16,000.00 to commemorate him whose "living life like a bow of peace spans and arches all the clouds of war." In the north lobby of the Senate gallery there is a marble bust of President Lincoln, the work of Sarah Fisher Ames, also pur chased by the Government, the sum paid being $2,000. New York City has honored Lincoln by a bronze statue erected in 1869. It stands i i Union Square and was designed by H. K. Brown. It was presented to the city by a number of patriotic citizens. There is also a monument to Lincoln in Brooklyn, in Buffalo, and in Boston. The Boston statue Is similar to the Emancipation Statue in Washington in iact, almost Identical. Philadelphia's splendid monument Is on one of the broad drives of beautiful Falrmount Park, and was modeled Randolph Rog ers in Rome and was cast in Munich. i It represents the martyred statesman sitting in a chair with a quill in his i right hand and in his left the Emanci pation Proclamation. The figure is more than nine feet high and Is won derfully Imposing. On each cf the four sides is Inscribed a quotation from one of his speeches. The money was subscribed by n association which was 'ormed for that purpose, and the monument was unveiled in 1871, and cost about $29,000. The Legislature of the State cf Ohio in 1879 appropriated $5,000 for a memorial to Lincoln to be erected in the State House at Columbus, and Mr. T. D. Jones was the sculptor of that artistic work in marble, which stands in the rotunda of the capltol near the spot where the body of Lincoln lay in state for a few hours when the funeral train was on its way to Spring field. Thousands on that occasion came from all parts of Ohio to view the body and pay their respects to the man they loved so well. The memor ial represents the surrender at "Vicks burg, and is surmounted by a life like bust of Lincoln. Chicago has Augustus St. Caudens' statue of Lincoln, which is consider ed the best specimen of portrait sculp ture in the United States. It faces the Dearborn street entrance of Lin coln Park and shows the Emanci pator standing before the chair of state from which he has just arisen. The figure is eleven and one-half feet in height, and cost about $40,000. It was presented to the City of Chicago by Ell Bates, and was unveiled in 1887, the stars and stripes which en veloped the figure being drawn aside by the grandson nd namesake of Abraham Lincoln. San Francisco, the City of the Gold en Gate, has also honored the memory of this great man. In front of the Lincoln School on Fifth street. Just opposite the United States Mint, there was a statue of Lincoln holding out the Emancipation Proclamation. It was erected In 18 90, and was the work of P. Mezzera. The statue was wreck ed by the earthquake and the head, which had been broken off by the crash, was carried away by souvenir hunters. It is said that a new statue will soon replace the destroyed one. Recently a memorial has been erect ed at Lincoln's birthplace, Hodgen vllle, Ky., the ceremony being attend ed by President Taft. Apart from these memorials, a great honor was shown to Lincoln when his face was selected to repre- sent American Science In the great painting of the Progress of Civiliza tion in the collar of the dome of the Congressional Library at Washington. The scientific genius of our own coun try is typified by the figure of an electrical engineer with book and dynamo. The man has the features of Lincoln. We have Lincoln schools, Lincoln tablets, Lincoln hotels and Lincoln highways. Hundreds of American boys bear his name and his birthday is honored throughout the land. Although It is not a legal holi day in every State it is universally observed. As time goes on, sectional feelings will give way to admiration for this splendid statesman, whoso greatest travail of soul wan a disunited people. Other monuments will rise In honor of the preserver of the Re public, for the memory of the man who uttered the immortal words "that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not periBh from the earth" will live forever In the hearts of a grateful nation. 'UaTOM rules the world for n matter how much we may deny I that we are custom fettered the fact remains that we fol low blindly curious old and unwrit ten laws without so much as asking the reason for so doing. The method of oetobratlng Saint Valentine's Day is one of the best examples of thiB, for if thve sender of one of these love mis erres were asked to explain just why it was sent on this special day the answer in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred would be "Because it is the custom." It la a pretty and picturesque idea wlilcti has decreed that on Saint Val entine's Day, which in the Roman and Angellcan calendar falls on Febru ary 14th, young folks should exchange greetings of love set forth In verses or emblematic pictures, and this has been practiced certainly for the last three hundred years. The legends of Saint Valentine's Day are far from satisfying, for search history as we may mere seems io De no real reason j why thle Cupid's feast should be given that name. The saint who bore the name o Valentine was not of a sen- Umental nature. He wrote no love I songs, nor does history record any love affairs in connection with his life. He was a bishop or pope of Rome, who remained steadfast in his faith during the persecution of the Christians by the Emperor Claudius and was cast in Jail for this reason, i While he was incarcerated there his- tory tells us that he cured the Jail- j er's daughter of blindness. His fate was anything but sentimental, for when the miracle was made known to the authorities they beat him with staves and later he was beheaded. His body is preserved in the Church of St. Praxedes at Rome, where the gate now known as the Porto de Popolo was formerly called the Porto ValentinI or Valentine Gate. Another Valentine, too, may have a share in the day, but he had even -ss to do with sentiment. He was likewise a Bishop, and one of his acts to heal the son of Craton, the rhetorician. This miracle worker choked to death on a fish bone. His memory is still revered in Germany and Italy, where prayers are offered to mm ror the cure of epilepsy. So, it i J7r 7" 77 9 i Vvs tf&J 'V"i r -v V-. Asstfr a H C W Wfl r;- vrt V; il tkiw r .....timiu 4k The renowned antiquarian Francis Douce suggests in one of his books written in 1807, that Saint Valen tine's Day is a Christianized form of the Roman reasts held during the month of February in honor of Pan and Juno. At that time it was cus tomary to put the names of young women in a box and to have young men draw out the slips bearing them. It was a barbarous, pagan feast for many of the girls so won were carried off into slavery. The Christian clerE-v -ould seem that neither Valentine 1 found it Impossible to stop the cus--would seem eligible to the honor of j torn during the feast of the trod and being the patron saint of lovers. An old English dictionary of the eighteenth century gives the follow ing definition: "Valentine's Day (in England). About this time of the year the birds choose their mates and probably thence came the cus tom of the young men and maidens choosing valentines or special loving friends on that day." This is very pretty, but hardly the real foundation for the custom. goddess, but they finally succeeded in substituting the names of saints for those of young girls when the slips were ready for drawing. As the names came out the young men were asked to pray to the saints whose names were on the papers they re ceived. The result was that the lot tery of girls at the Roman festival ceased. As far back as 1698 history re cords incidents of Saint Valentine's Day such as parties where maidens and bachelors would meet and each write their names upon separate bil lets. These billets were then rolled up and drawn by way of lots, the men taking the girls billets and vice versa. After the drawing each girl and man found themselves with two valentines. However, there seems to have been but little attention paid to but one, for the man became the de voted cavalier of the girl whose name he drew. It seems, after all, to have been the man's privilege to choose and the girl's drawing amounted to a mere form. There was dancing and a supper where each bachelor appear ed wearing a heart on his sleeve bear ing the name of his valentine. Quite frequently the couple became real sweethearts and married. In every case the man remained bound to the service of his valentine like some me diaeval knight of romance to his lady love. The men were, of course, al ways anxious to draw the names of pretty girls. There was an equal num- A: v r'j f ft i t t year. The first printed valentines con sisted of gaudily colored pictures representing loving couples seated In bowers of flowers with a church In the distance which served to convey the idea that matrimony was the end in view. A verse telling of the tender passion of the sender was attached. It Is to be regretted that so few of these old valentines have bee., pre served for the designers of them seemed to have such an extraordl- I nary idea about dressing the ladies and gentlemen whose feelings they sought to interpret. The man was usually attired In lavender trousers, yellow waistcoat, blue coat and a green or red necktie. The stock cos tume for the lady was a fiery red gown, a vivid green shawl and a bright yellow bonnet. For the past twenty-five years the valentines have been especially artistic. They are manufactured all over the civilized world and thousands of people find lucrative employment in their mak- j ing. The work is carried on two or three months of each year In fac I tories where paper ornaments are manufactured. The home made val entlne, too, plays its part, for chil dren frequently make their own love tokens by cutting pictures from fashion papers and pasting them on cards decorated with fancy gilt pa per and Vy writing some pretty lit- a bunch of lilies of the valley mixed with maiden hair fern she is expected to understand that "her unconscious sweetness has fascinated" the sender. A bunch of white hyacinths or gar denias will tell her of her loveliness in the eyes of the giver. Roses mean true love, and as American Beauty roses at Valentine season will bring from one dollar to one dollar and a half each they prove a rathor ex pensive way o" bearing a message of the tender p -sslon. Moss rosebuds, now so difficult to obtain, when com bined with a spray of myrtle are meant as a confession of love. The confectioner, too, reaps a har vest with his candy done up in ap propriate boxes. Heart shapes have always been popular, but recently many novelties have appeared in con nection with them heart-shaped boxes with tiny cuplds perched on the top, round boxes with a procession of golden Cupids sending out arrows from the quivers slung over their shoulders, and heart-shaped boxes with satin bags inside and hung by white silk cords. These last named may be used for powder puff boxes after the sweets have vanished. Valentine parties are In order and the old game of drawing names to select partners Is played. This year being leap year the ladles will do the drawing and select their partners in stead of the men being allowed to ber of both sexes, however, and even the most unattractive girl found a valentine as well as her fairer sister. In Shakespeare's time the custom of challenging a valentine anywhere was an unwritten law. The chal lenge consisted simply of saying "Good morrow, 'tis Saint Valentine's Day!" and he or she who said it first on meeting a person received a pres ent. Later the custom changed and the gentleman alone gave the pres ent if he was challenged by the wom an he loved. In the days of the quill pens and high priced postage the manufacture and transmission of valentines through the post was an expensive luxury, for the sentimen tal poetry had to be written on thick sheets of gilt edged paper. The first page of the sheet was always adorned with a gilt paper Cupid which had been carefully pasted on. Such silly verses aa "The Rose is red. The Violet is blue. Sugar Is sweet And so are you." usually followed. Frequently these valentines were delivered by servants. Then came the age of printing and the reduction of postage and Valen tine's Day became a busy time for the post office employees and ha3 re mained so over since, Increasing each tie love verse under the picture, make the choice. The table decora Hearts have always a part of Val- j tions for these affairs to be strictly entlnes Day, ana among tne cnu dren, especially in the South, there is an exchange of red paper hearts on that occasion. Side by side with the sentimental valentine the comic monstrosity has grown up a grotesque figure with an insulting verse under it. This hideous vulgarity is offered for one cent and finds a ready sale among people who are maliciously inclined, and is used more to wound the feelings of the re ceiver of it than for any other pur pose. The valentine post card with its Cupids and its flowers has made Its appearance and now rivals the Christ mas, New Year and Easter post card. It had its origin in Germany and the most beautiful ones are de signed and colored in that country. The custom of sending flowers, candy and Jewelry as Saint Valentine pres ents has rapidly gained ground, es pecially in our cities, and this prac tice is exceedingly popular with the gentler sex. most of whom are fond of flowers and sweets. Indee", flow ers have become so popular as valen tines that florists make a special fea ture of the day and grow certain flow ers, forcing them to bloom for this auspicious event. The language of flowers comes into play here and this year the florists are making up com binations according to the meaning of the flowers. When a lady receives correct must Include Ices and con fectionery In the shape of hearts. Cupids, too, must be in evidence, for after all Saint Valentine's Day Is really the feast day of this little god of love, who Is supposed to send his ar rows home on that particular date. "Snap kisses" are used as well. These are merely bon bens wrapped In col ored paper with fringed ends. En closed with the bon bon Is a verse ap propriate to the occasion, and a cap with a string at each end. A young girl takes one end of the "klse" and a man the other, and both pull at the same time. The cap snaps with the report of a toy pistol and the verse Is read aloud by the one who finds It In his or her part of the "kiss." These verses are oftentimes passionate declarations of love and cause much merriment when they are read by a bashful young man. The newest "kiss" for this year la made of crimped paper of the most deli cate shade of pink and decorated wlrh pictures of Cupid in various attitude, always bearing a red heart. tven though the origin of Saiwt Valentine's Day may be rather vague, all the world loves a lover" and It will never question the right of this lover to send out his missives of ten derness to his sweetheart on this par ticular day. so the pretty custom of sending valentines is likely to continue for ail time.

The very naturalness of her acting, carries conviction that Miss Robson is an exceptionally clever wo man and the only one on the stage to day presenting the somewhat difficult role of an eccentric old maid. You laugh with her when her experience in New York develops her humor, and you cry with her in her moments of pathetic sadness. "Aunt Mary" is not an imaginery type of the tender, big hearted country woman. They exist everywhere, and are easily recognized and at the end of the play you have a sort of feeling that you would like to have just such an Aunt Mary, One of the surest evidences of the remarkable popularity of "Miss No body From Starland," the successful musical comedy in which Olive Vail and a large company will be seen at the Grand on Washington's Birthday, is the large number of requests re ceived by producer Mort.

The Girl of the Golden West. Puccini's masterpiece. "The Girl of I the Golden West," by Henry Savage's specially organized English grand opera company, is scheduled for Mon day night at the Grand. This company which is carried by a special train of ten cars, excels in size as well as quality, any previous production of grand opera made in America outside of the Meropolitan opera houfe, Xew York. There are tons and tons of scenery, a car load or norses. a car; load of electrical devices, a good-sized army of chorists. a grand opera or chestra of fifty, five complete sets of principals and three different conduc tors, including George Polacco, of Venice and Milan, the friend and co worker of the great Puccini. Mr. Savage, who always does things on a big scale and who has never broken n promise to the public, has fairly out done himself in producing this opera. He resolved that his re-entrance into the oneratic field which he abandoned several years ago for the light musical works and drama, should be fitly cele brated. This big production of "The Girl of the Golden Weft" in English is the result. The singing and comedy work of "Jolly" John l.arkins has always been a source of unbounded delight to American threatre goers since he first discovered his mavelous vioce and corn ed'- ability. It means a lot. therefore. to say that he has never done better work than in the new musical comedy. "Royal Sam." which will be presented nt the Grand for two nights commenc ing Tuesdav. Feb. 13th. Nevertheless, manager K. Voelckel is making this seemingly extravagant claim for "Jolly" John. Another claim of the managers is that Larkins has been surrounded by one of the best singing companies of principals and chorus that were ever brought together in this country, and they will be seen here just as they appeared during their Xew York run. "Jolly" John Larkins lias just finished a four years' contract a co-star with Black Patti. May Robson will play at the Grand for two nights this season Thursday and Friday in two different bills. On Thursday she will present "A Night Out," a new comedy, based upon the question of hereditary influence and the adventures of an elderly woman, who assumes the direction of her two grandsons who are intensely interest ed in the "Great White Way" as seen on "A Night Out." Miss Robson's naturalness in the portrayal of char acter is as complete and as convincing as it is humorous, not alone the whole some endeavors nor the cleverness of well arranged situations, but upon a natural interpretation of character well developed and sustained. Miss Robson adds to her keen sense of the absurd a power of transition from the farcical to the expression of the tenderest sentiments. The swift changes of mood are most difficult to acquire, but apparently it is quite natural -with this gifted actress, and there is really no parallel in discussing her art since she is alone in her own sphere of acting. Always bright, in teresting and convincing. Aind on Friday night she will appear in "The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary," which has been successfully presented by her in every large city in the United States, and duplicating the success at Terry's theater, London, England, where Miss Robson extended the time of her enaagement from three weeks to nearly three months. Her immedi ate recognition by a proverbially criti cal audience of London, was one of the best compliments of her talents and capability as an actress. The press was unanimous in praise of "Aunt Mary," the unsophisticated spinster, and her blending the humor X if J ,1 i i i i r!! r Luisa VillaiU as Minnie In "The Girl of the Golden West" at the Grand Mon day Night. peared, for its return this season. This means that the playgoers every where are greatly impressed with this delightful comedy, a fact of which these managers now realize. The reason for the popularity of "Miss Nobody From Starland" is that its story is original, its features are ab solute novelties. "Miss Nobody From Starland" is one of the three biggest w inners in musical comedy world. Among the novel fea tures are the big dress rehearsal scene, the great scene aboard the liner Lusi tania and that alluring fantasy, the Cuban dance. The many song hits in clude the famous "Gingaboo Man. song, "I'll Be Your Honey When It's Moonlight "Kiss Me." "I'd Rather Love What I Cannot Have Than Have What I Cannot Love." "The Dear Lit tle Ghost of Your Smile," and "Ah, Maria, Mari Tarentelle." Olive Vail, who is one of the favorite musical comedy stars), will be seen In the title role. The large cast includes many prominent principals. At the Majestic. If you're a millionaire don't go to the Majetnic next week. You might see something that would offend you. "The Little Brother of the Rich" will be the olav and it's a satire on the "doings" of the upper crust of so ciety. It faithfully pictures the man ner in which New York society spends its money, how the social leaders are constantly puzzling their brains to de vise some new methods of getting rid of the filthy lucre. However, the whole play is not devoted to this theme. Some of the real toilers in life ara represented. The story of an actress whose struggle from obscurity to suc cess Is brilliantly depicted and the climax of the whole play comes on a bare stage with the stage handa at work taking down and setting up scenery and using the expressions common to their craft. If you hear any one saying "Where in h 1 is that cat?" you will know that person has been to the Majestic. The above ex pression is the last line in "A Little Brother of the Rich," and is used by the old stage door tender after every member of the company has left the theater. The play is very unconven tional and very interesting. You'll like it. Following week "All of a Sudden Peggy At the Novelty. The Novelty to open Monday mat inee, Feb. 12, will have as a feature act.

Marguerite Sylva, the famous grand opera prima donna has secured a divorce from her husband, 'Wil liam ravid Mann, whom she charges with desertion, in record time, three days only having" elapsed between the starting of the divorce proceeding'and the grant ing of the decree.

New Y'ork, Feb. 10. Jan Kubelik, who arrived in town today from the west sat in his apartment in the Hotel Rec tor with his wife beside him and summed up what his genius and his violin had brought him, as follows: "It is something over a million dol lars that I have gained." he declared. "I have gotten this and my wife and my five beautiful daughters. Now as far as the strenuous American life is concerned I am done with it. "Never again will I attempt a hun dred concerts a season, as I am doing this year and as I have for ten years past. I owe something to myself, some thing to my family. The amassing of a fortune, the gaining of fame, is not all. "An artist leads a dual existence. He has his art and his home. One must give up to the other. The artist has to give up something to his family. His family must give up much to his art." "Mr. Kubelik, if you had to choose between your home life and your art, which would it be?" was asked. "Once an artist, always an artist," he replied. The woman smiled her approval. Art was evidently supreme in this house hold. "Was it the violin that brought you together?" Mrs. Kubelik was asKea "Yes. it was," she answered. "I am a musician too." "I heard her play," Interrupted Kube lik. "That was all." "And the children, are they violinists VO?" T. ..V.-,.,. The question was asueu ui r.uunm but he was not allowed to answer. The mother made the reply. Twin Daughters Play Violin. "Our eldest daughters, they are twins, hoth nlnv the violin," she said. "They i are 7 years old now. Ten years from now you will hear them in New York. They have inherited their father's genius. I do not say this on my own account but because friends and their teachers have told me so. It is only natural that .hey should be born witn this ability." The violinist Kubelik is 28 years old but he is 'vise in his generation. His long black hair and his poetic face do not detract from his ability to think carefully. Today he was tired. He had an injured finger that had cost him three concerts, at a thousand dollars each. He was inclined to philosophize. "These children of mine," he said, "have an immense advantage that I did not have. In my profession, as in every other, experience is a great fac tor. I had to begin at the beginning. I had to accumulate ny Kirowimse. that I know I have learned myself, with them it will be different. I can tell them in a day what it has cost me years to find out. "I do not actually teach my children the technic of the violin but I will give them all that I possess. They are at home now studying. My season is over in April and my wife and I will go to them at once. "This is Lhe last of my years of ter rible work. I w ill never desert my art but I will consider my health and my work and mv home. Thirty concerts a season ia enough for any artist in this country. It is not the actual vork of playing but the traveling that means so much. That is so fatiguing that one cannot do justice to one's self for more than a limited number or appearances. COMPLIMENTS NORTH BROS. Author of "A Prosy Romance" Writes, Praising This Week's Play. T. F. Sproul, author of "A Prosy Romance," compliments North Bros, and their play of "Brewster's Mil lions," which closes this week at the Majestic tonight, as follows: "To the Majestic Management and the Splendid Stage Players: "Brewster's Millions" is a play of great moral worth to all those who appreciate this advancing civilization. That 'will upon which the interest of the play is centered teaches us that e:reat fortunes should be dis tributed more than they generally are if we help one another as we should in our wordly careers; and the pres entation this week by such artistic players gives us something to think about which is of more moral worth than the average sermon.

We separated in 1D09 and I have not lived with him since." happiness than a sordid desire to hold it intact, thereby depriving many worthy people a great amount of enjoyment. "I always encourage my friends to attend such worthy performances.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 10, 1912. Sense mike Edited WMamon Hakl em tint MON AND 77" Tl -ff HOW much does the average mother of today know of nursing a sick child? How many of you think of doing It except for a passing indisposition? Some ailments of children have their rise and decline with almost equal ra pidity. A child who is gasping for breath with croup at 11 o'clock at night will be up and about the room the next morning, a trifle languid perhaps, but wonderfully-well, considering the agony through which he has gone during the preceding twelve hours. The mother needs slight skill in nursing to care for a child in such an emergency as this. All measures must be prompt, and when she has once learned the routine of medicine, hot applications, and the like there is little more to aequire So, too, with the ordinary cold or indigestion or similar childish disease, distressing while they last but quickly over. When your child has a long, wearing ill ness, however, do you know how to take care of him? Perhaps you do not wish to turn him over to the charge of a trained nurse, perhaps you have not the money to spend upon one unless it is a matter where close watching and a certain amount of medical knowledge are required in order u meet and conquer difficulties for which the laywoman is not prepared. In earlier days we took all the care of our children when they were sick and a trained Burse was unheard of. I do not say that this state of affairs was always an advan tage and that there were not occasions when a more educated intelligence might not have done better for the patient in watching for and averting the unfortunate consequences of certain illnesses which affected the heart, the lungs, the sight, the hearing. None the less I maintain that in ordinary cases of sickness a sensible mother under the direc tion of a wise doctor can take as good care of a child as the best trained nurse of them all. Obedience the Best All). If I may make a personal reference I would like to say Just here that I nursed my own small children through scarlet fever, as well as through less serious at tacks. We did not know as much about germs In that day as we do now, and did not practice such elaborate precautions against contagion, but no one was any the worse for it, and all of the children es caped easily from a disease of which the mere mention strikes terror to a mother's heart. I am glad to have learned new methods of nursing of late years and to rive them here in addition to those I have myself tried and proved. If I were to be asked what is the mother's best ally In Illness of any sort I would re ply without hesitation, Obedience In the child." Having been trained myself In IMPOR TANT NO TJCE TE CAUSE of the enormous J-J number of letters sent to the department I must ask con tributors to limit their communica tions to 100 words, except in cases of formulas or recipes which require greater space. I want all my cor respondents to have a showing in the Corner, and if my request in this respect is complied with it will be possible to print many more letters. Attention is called to the fact that Marion Harland cannot receive money for patterns, as she has no connection with any department that sells them. Marion Harland. (INDULGE myself with a few bits of talk from our able chemist, A o. v.,'' to whom our obligations are already great. I may mention here to house wives who would know something of the chemical changes and combinations that enter Into cookery, that our friendly chemist will answer queries addressed to him through the Helping Hand. His ability to patent. His willingness to help us equals it The obvious explanation of the Australian churnleea butter process, lately described in the Helping Hand, is this: When the cream Is placed In a cloth bag and burled in the ground, the soil, which must be dry and porous extracts the watery portion by absorption, leaving the fat behind. However, all the casein cheesy matter likewise remains in the bag, thus increasing the yield of what Is Bot pure butter, and modifying the taste, tt will spoil rapidly. Had I time, I would tell yon of the once famous black pepsin butter, which yielded a similar product. "'I tt B.' describes a laborious process of making paper pulp for nliing floor cracks. This material may be purchased more con veniently from paint shops and wholesale druggists. Still, soaking the paper in a little lye and working it in a churn is an Improve ment upon the method given by your cor respondent. Cheap wall paper makes agood pulp. I wonder If anybody else ever dis covered this valuable trick in ooillng rnilk? It took me fifty years to get on to It al though I have boiled milk thousands of times Horn to Boil Milk. Read it carefully; try It, obeying di rections Implicitly. Reserve for the operation a new un tarnished enameled kettle of the best grade; use it for nothing else, and keep it thor oughly scoured. It should be large In pro portion to the quantity of milk say. ten Inches in diameter for a quart of milk and twelve for two quarts. Put into It a cup er two of water, and let it boil briskly for the old fashioned habits of nursery disci pline and following the same with my own children. I am In a position to appreciate the value of a training which makes It a matter of course for a child to take un pleasant medicine at a simple word of com mand, to submit to any treatment the mother and the doctor tell him Is neces sary for his recovery. I have never had to struggle with a child to coax or fores down his throat a dose of some remedy which seemed essential, have never had to see him Injured by the effort to per suade him to take a draught against which he rebelled. If you doubt the value of this aid in the sick room ask the opinion of any doctor or nurse on the subject. Such a state of affairs cannot be started after illness begins, but Is the result of former discipline. I do not think that I exaggerate when I say that the habit of obedience greatly Increases the child's chances of recovery from an Illness as well as simplifying care and nursing for the mother or whoever else may have him In charge. At the same time diplomacy may well be brought Into play in the sickroom of the child. It Is one thing to grVe him a dose of medicine and have him take It obe diently. It Is quite another to Induce him to take nourishment at order. Since food that is enjoyed is more readily digested than that which is eaten In compliance with a command, I would counsel the mother to rally to her assistance various charm ing stories by the help of which she can amusethe child Into eating his food with interest, if not with positive enjoyment- Awakening Interest of Child. In my own nursery there were certain flocks of ducks and geese Impersonated by the bread which floated In the milk or by the cubes of toast on the plate, and the child who ate them was In turn a hungry fox or a marauding hawk who swooped down upon the prey. Or the milk was a river which bed to be swallowed in order to permit the hero or heroine to escape from the pursuer, who was variously a giant, a wild animal, or a bad fairy. Some times we did not resort to hese expedients, but kept some specially absorbing tale for meal times, and in the interest awakened by this the food was eaten almost uncon sciously and without struggle orarsument The practice recommended in serving the adult invalid's meals of making them as attractive as possible should not be neg lected In the child's case. Quaint and comical fancies appeal to him as they would not to an older person, and a series of surprises may be planned the food con cealed or masked In some way and an effort put forth to make the meal times some thing to be anticipated instead of a strain MARION HARLAND'S HELPING HAND a few minutes. This Insures removal of the atmospheric gas condensed upon every surface, and which contributes largely to the scorching of boiled milk. Empty the saucepan of water and pour In the milk Immediately. Set it at once over the fire The instant this is dot:e stir the milk with a clean spoon, being careful to scrape the bottom In every direction This will pre vent the albumen and casein from stick ing. After a minute or two constant stir ring Is not imperative. "Now comes the reai 'trick!" As the milk approaches the boiling point stir faithfully, avoiding splashing It upon the sides of the pan. and watch! The moment the milk rises up remove it from the fire, stirring rapidly. (A gas flame may be turned low). When the surface is quiet put the saucepan back over the fire and stir as before. Now, presently the milk will go on boiling vigorously and with no tendency to boll over. One may let It boil to sterilize it or to condense it ad libi tum. The air It contained has been ex pelled and the albumen coagulated. No need to Jerk the kettle from the stove with the boiling milk frothing all over the floor. And. stranger still, there is hardly any milky substance adhering to the bottom of the kettle. I should like to hear If any one else knows of this? Furthermore, I believe this Is the secret of the magic spoon sold by fakers, which Is supposed to prevent miik from boiling over, the house mother (presumably) hav ing been Instructed to stir well. A. G. V." What you call "a trick" Is of especial Interest to the mothers of bottle babies.' for whom milk should be sterilized. For ordinary purposes it may be preserved from scorching by heating It in the inner vessel of a double boiler, or rice kettle." Problem of a Mother. I read your answer to Mrs. J. G.' Un like her, I cannot leave home to work on account of my three children. I am a good baker. My doughnuts cannot be beaten. Neither can my oread. Were I to make them, there is no sale for them in this sub urb. Most of the housekeepers do their own baking. I am, also, a skillful seamstress. I read a suggestion in a Sunday paper con cerning making baby clothes- But where could I dispose of them? Kindly tell me how to get customers for either or both of these commodities. I could take orders to the city if I knew how first to get customers. In all your vast territory is there no body who can give me practical advice how to provide for my children and myself? Are there no business houses that give out addressing or letters and circulars, or any other work that may be done at home? If I can secure a place In an office, I could give a good home to an elderly wom an who would look after my children In my absence. I held an office position bef oremy marriage. I am utterly at a loss! I am able and anxious to work, but every road seems to be dreaded, as is so often true of a child with a poor appetite. A grown person will sometimes eat from a sense of duty and the appreciation of the necessity of build ing up strength, but it is hard to make a little child see this, and the expedients I have suggested will prove of value in the care of small Invalids. In contagious diseases certain precau tions must be observed and these will be dictated by the doctor. Curtains must com down and rugs or carpets be taken up, the room should be stripped of everything ex cept absolutely necessary articles; the mother must wear a wash dress and cover her hair with a cap which can be laundered. Close at hand should be arrangements for soaking the bed clothing and that worn by the child In some disinfecting fluid and a disinfectant should be mixed with the water used In wiping the floor. If a child is small enough for the mother to lift It In her arms when the bed is to be changed or to transfer it easily from one side of the bed to the other, the work of changing the sheets is a comparatively simple affair. But when the child is larger and heavier and cannot be bundled up In warm bedclothes and lifted at pleasure a different system must be studied. Trick of Changing Sheets. The trick of changing the sheets is easily learned. The soiled sheet Is loosened on one side of the bed and folded In a long, compact roll close to the patient. The clean sheet is laid In the place of that Just removed, its outer edge pinned down or tucked In, the rest of It drawn over the uncovered portion of the mattress and the surplus made Into a long roll which lies close to the rolled soiled sheet The patient should be lying on his side, the rolled sheets at his back; he Is now rolled over or drawn over on the fresh sheet, the soiled one pulled off. the clean rolled sheet spread over the rest of the mattress and secured In Its place It Is a simple mat ter to change the upper sheet, of course, and the pillows may be drawn out one at a time and fresh slips put on them. In many cases of childish illness, notably rheumatism, tonsllitls, and diphtheria, there is a tendency to heart failure, and the little patient must be kept on the flat of the back much of the time. Under the circumstances the nightgowns must be changed without lifting the invalid. The arms are taken from the sleeves of the gown and this la slipped down below the shoulders. Then the arms are thrust Into the sleeves of the clean gown and the body of this slid under the head and down to the shoulders By skillful graduations the soiled atd the clean gown are worked down past the shoulders and hips and the discardei rlghtdress goes off over the feet as the one closed to me. And there must be many others similarly situated to whom advice would be welcome. Mrs. L. H." Tours is so far from being a singular case that every word of your appeal is a strain upon our sympathies. One of the dreariest ironies of fate is that honest labor Is with held from the hundreds who beg for noth ing more. Cannot you get up a clientele it your suburb? Have cards printed, setting -forth your Intention to make bread and doughnuts, and to sell them at fair prices, and distribute them throughout your neigh borhood.

In changing the pillow or turning" It the nurse's arm is slipped under the patlenr head and neck, while with her other hand (be draws the pillow out deftly, turns It. ard replaces it 01 substitutes a fresh one for It. In the same way the patient's heal "ay be lifted by the hand of the nurse and a glass of water htld to the lips without raisins the body from an absolutely re cumbent position. When a patient Is to be transferred frora one wde of the bed to the other the process is a little more difficult and help may b needed. A pad or a folded sheet Is slipped under the Invalid by the same process fol lowed in changing the sheets and Lhe patient Is drawn on this to the other :iido of the bed. The pad may then be slipped out carefully and tbe change Is accomplishes. Follow Trained Nurse's Plan. If you have ever been In the house with a trained nurse In charge of a patient you have probably noticed that she has no hesi tation In demanding any means she wishes for making her work easier. Follow the same plan yourself. Nursing Is tiresome enough work at the best, and when with the care and toil It involves Is blended the anxiety of the mother as well, you make a mistake If you do not get every expedient you can to lessen the strain. See that you have the right sort of palls and basins for soaking clothes, bowls for bathing the pa tients, plenty of sheets and towels and cloths, feeding cups by which to give a patient broth without having to do any lifting of the head or shoulders, gla tubes for drinking or taking medicine, hot water bags, small cushions, a little table, a com fortable chair, easy shoes, wrapper, and the like for yourself. Bear in mind that It is as much your duty to take care of yourself as of the patient, and do not be guilty of the foolishness of neglecting your own diet, sleep, or exer cise when It Is humanly possible to ret these with any regularity. When the crls-it of the illness Is over your work will not be fin ished but begun. The days of convales cence may be less anxious than those of active illness, but they are far more fa tiguing. Tour child will need you as an aid back to health as well as a savior from sickness. Don't forget this in the stress of nursing, but guard yourself against un necessary fatigue, with the thought always In mind that you are to conduct a con valescence as well as rescue from the clutches of a disease. One word on this line. You can keep yourself bright and cheerful for the child's Bake when the worst Is- hovering over you, but courage and gayety will be ever more to supply sandwiches, salads, etc., for re ceptions, and if neui be to arrange tables and decorations for these functions. I know two sisters who have supported themselves comfortably in their nativ town for ten years by these means. A cer tain sir all ba kery in Chelsea.

Fifty years ago Edwin Whipple, then eminent among American essayists, said: Whatever a woman can do as well as a man In like circumstance could do, she has the God given right to undertake." It Is as true now as when the brave, clear headed thinker wrote the sentence. The question is whether she has the stay ing power physically and the resolution to take up the task as a lifelong work. Five years ago the president of a woman's col lege, in his baccalaureate, seriously advised the graduates of the day "not to think of marrying until each was qualified to sup port a husband." He then gave statistics with regard to the percentage of women all over the country who are the family bread winners that lent force to the in junction. All honor to them, say I. I know a score of such heroic, true hearted wives some of them mothers who are bearing the bur den and heat of a day they never antici pated when they assumed the responsibil ities of wifehood.

13 1 y-if'jL The Boy Problem. The International Sunday School Les son for February 11 is "The Boy Jesus in the Temple." Luke 2:40-52. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. HE wise men who Keep an eye upon tomorrow are disturbed by certain ominous signs for the future of Christian sen timent. The bis fact has suddenly been borne into the consciousness of a multitude of per sons that children nowadays do not go to church. The average congregation, especially in the city, is of adults. The old condition, when family pews were literally filled with families, is now un common. So aroused have the British leaders of the church become over this condition that, following the modern fashion of forming a society for every thing they have organized a "League of Worshipping Children." There is reason for alarm. If the children of today are not reared in the habit of church-going, it is reasonably certain that they will not cultivate it in maturity. Even the Sunday school is no substitute for the religious train ing of the church and the home. If a family must make a choice for its children between attending church and attending Sunday school, they should without hesitation choose the church. It concerns the state as well as tne church, that the oncoming generation should not miss the depth and breadth and height of intellectual and spiritual vision which regular church attendance does most to cultivate. Tin; Traiiiiiiir of a Boy. The first appearance of Jesus, after the liight into Egypt, is this one when he is seen in the temple; which the Sunday schools are to study and which is t: e basis of this lesson. Alter tne presentation in the temple of the six weeks old lniant, wnicn was coiibjuci od last Sunday, there came the warn ing of the impending massacre of the innocents bv Herod. The miant popu lation of the little town of Bethlehem rierhaDS a score of children in an fell victim to the hate of a jealous monarch. They were the first of the lone train of martyrs to the name anu cause of Jesus. Joseph, warned in a dream of the cruel designs, took tne younc child and Mary his mother and went into Egypt until the death of Herod. The gifts of the Wise-men afforded the carpenter Joseph means for his unexpected journey, and for mainten ance of his family while he should be away from his workshop. The length of the sojourn was perhaps only a few months. Preachers and painters have loved to dwell upon the significance of the return of Israel's second Represen tative and Deliverer to the land from which the first deliverer had led his peo, 'e. The Babe in the arms of his mother, sleeping at the feet of the Sphinx, is a familiar picture, and a etriking symbolism. Back to Xazareth. Then came the Nazareth years, for Joseph returned not to Bethlehem but to his own home and shop and trade. The town of the birth of Jesus has fewer associations with his early years than this beautiful city, or large town, in a cup-like valley amid the hills of Galilee, about midway between the Mediterranean and the Lake of Gali lee, a short distance above the round ed dome of Mount Tabor. All about it fire hills, and one has no difficulty iu understanding the story of the Precipi tation, after looking upon the scene. The natural beauty of the situation is unusual. The hillsides are full of lime stone caves, and I have a photograph which I took of Nazareth from the in terior of one ui these. I had gone Into it wondering whether the Boy who played in the hills of Nazareth had. perchance from this very cave, looked out upon his home and his people, and thoug'-.t the "long, long thoughts' of youth. The hills are the same as those which Jesus knew. The fountain iu the center or the town, to which Mary used to go with the other village maid ens to draw the day's supply of water, is still flowing, though now the spring itself Is covered with a church. Boys Btill play upon the streets and as I watched them at a game of marbles (different from the game we know, hut played with all the enthusiasm of boys everywhere), I seemed to see again another olive-skinned, black eved Lad playing in these same streets. The women still carry water as of old, though the Standard Oil can is in many places taking the place of the jar. The Workshop Playroom. The Boy, who is the hero of this tale, and whose life story millions of Sunday school members are study ing today, knew nothing about a mod ern playground but perhaps he was more favored than modern children with their elaborate apparatus for play, in that he had for a playground the work shop of his father. All thinking is in the light of experience, and most of us conceive of the immortal Nazar eth camenter shoo in the terms of the carpenter shop of today, with benches and modern tools, -mere are sucn now tr hf found in Nazareth for Nazareth is largely modernized with many great churches ana scnoois ana monasteries, all in memory of the Boy. When in Nazareth. I found a car penter shop of the old style, wherein workmen sat on the floor, and using both hands and feet, made agricultural Implements. Doubtless, the carpenter Joseph did not build tables and chairs and window-frames and doors. His work was largely upon ploughs which were little more than an iron shod bit of timber and upon yokes and spade handles. The Carpenter who made his living out of an agricultural population knew full well what it meant when he said, "My yoke is The chips on the floor of Joseph's carpenter shop were the first toys of the boy Jesus. Work was the natural atmosphere of his life. He grew up accustomed to help in all possible ways about the workshop which provided the family Income. That the modern eon of prosperous parents Is not learn ing to work with his hands, and is not under obligation to do any regular tasks is one of the lamentable defects in our modern scheme of life. The Carpenter. This is the only lesson upon the training in Nazareth that we shall have, and we cannot forego musing upon the Carpenter. Every person who has meditated upon the life of Jesus has pointed out that it was not as a king, or as a philosopher or as a poldier that Jesus came, but as a mem ber of the great army of the common people: a workingman. Mr. Robert E. Speer is fond of quoting an Old Eng lish poem, the soliloquy of a carpen ter: 'Isn't this Joseph's Son?' Aye, it is He. "Joseph, the carpenter,' same trade as me! I thought as I'd find it, I knew it was here, 1 a 1L 1,1 1 QT mrejMS31K fir, iS-ff tAI 13 Vis I But my sight's getting queer.

"I thinks of as how not the parson hissen. As is teacher and father and shepherd of men, Not he knows as much of the Lord in that shed, Where he earned his own bread." The Boy at Church. All that the country boy's first visit to the city means to a youngster now adays, and far more, the journey to Jerusalem which the boy Jesus made in this twelfth year meant to him. It was a great event not only because of the new experiences involved, and be cause the adventure of it all, but also because he had become a "son of the law," and obliged to join with his parents and neighbors in the yearly pilgrimage to the Passover feast. This was the great social and religious event of the year. Groups of friends and neighbors set out at the same time for the journey. It was all sim ple and primitive, and so different from our modern travel that we scarcely can understand it. Now that railways are threading Palestine and the old ways are departing, it will be more difficult than ever to visualize this company of peasants tramping songfully over the hills, most of them afoot, a few on donkeys and all im peded with very little luggage. Their own simple wants, and the hospital- i ity or the time made travel a matter of no great expense or difficulty. We can imagine the boy Jesus straying from the caravan; watching the darting lizards; admiring the lus trous, velvety black of the native flower which is today called Aaron's Rod: studying the clumps and hedges of cactus; watching with wide-eyed interest the slinking Jackal, and "en joying the new faces and interests of every wayside halt. While the grown ioik gathered about the dailv fire and exchanged news, he listened in wide eared silence. His sweet voice Joined with enthusiasm in the chanting of the appropriate Psalms of Ascent, as they drew near the Holy City. No eyes looked more eagerlv and wonderingly upon the great temple as they saw it glisteniner in the sunlie-ht and as they entered the borders of it3 courts, than this unnoticed boy to whom it meant his Father's house Tn all of his world there was nothing to compare with the magnificent temple or with this vast concourse nf oinr. shiping people. -the temDle Of .Tesilfi -M-mo TOaa mrM-t like the Mohammedan cntal temple, than like the modern church. It was not one closed hniid- ing, with worship at stated intervals. In its great courts trading was carried on, in order to meet the needs of the pilgrims, just as today one buys Mecca beads in the courts of the Mosque of St. Sophia. This was the school of the Rabbis and the lodging- of the priests as well as the place of worship. "Boy Lost." None of the two million or more persons at this Passover feast under stood how fascinating to this boy was the great temple. He cared more for it than for the meetings with relatives and the jssip about the daily meal. All the interests of his life concentrat ed upon this great center of his na tion's worship. A trusted boy, he was permitted to range widely by his fam ily; so when the homeward journey was begun he was not at first missed. The distressed family later returned and found him in the temple, where upon the agitated mother reproved the boy, only to hear the amazing reply, wnicn even her ears could not compre hend "Wist Ve not that I must be in my Other's house!" I That is a tragic hour, when a child realizes a nigher responsibility than his responsibility to his parents. It is a sacred hour also, and one not to be hastened or postponed for it means, though parents do not always so un derstand it. that the child has become a man. Jesus in truth became on that visit a "son of the law." Thenceforth, the will of the Father for his life took more definite form. How far into the future did those .lustrous wondering eyes peer? A Boy's Great Question. Familiar pictures represent the boy Jesus as teaching in the temple a sort, of "boy wonder" laying down the law to his elders. I suppose in this some folk find their warrant for those in- surreraole prigs, "the boy preachers. pI'ure 18 not supported by the i" amtuue 01 jesus was one perfectly correct for a respectful, in- terested, inquiring boy. tinT y,HUndv,hlm,,Ilv.theJtempIe' SiV tine in thp midst nf ti Artnva w-.tri hearing them and askin oSTm aues- his elders. He frankly wanted to know mn-mr ,,T,a.c nj many things, and so availed himself of the privilege of asking questions, which belonged to everybody in that time and place. How full of inquiries is every boy's mind; and especially this one! The mind of Jesus must have lusted to know more about his nation, about the expected Messiah, and about the coming kingdom, as laid down in the law. His own understand ing, and the answers he made to the questions which these interested theo logians put to him, astonished every body. Greatest of all the wonders in this story is that knowing all he knew, con scious to some degree at least of his unique mission and of his peculiar re lation to the Father, and of the fact that he was not understood by those close to him in the flesh, he neverthe less "went down with them and came to Nazareth nnd he was subject unto them." This wonderful self-subordination may be dimly glimpsed by the great company of firstrrate workers who are subject to second-rate super ior officers. Thus early, Jesus emptied himself and made himself of no repu tation, all that he might attain the full est identity with the normal life of mankind. Kat Souls and Open Purses. Terse Comments for February 11, (The Christian 6-15.) BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. In these expensive times, most fam ilies have to scan their weekly outgo of money with carefulness. "Where may we economize," is the common question. At once the temptation comes to Christian people to retrench in their giving. Some persons, doubt less, make no provision whatever in their family budget for church support or benevolences; these are ruled out of consideration in this paragraph, with a passing thought of pity. Shall a Christian retrench in his giving, when financially straightened? Yes, certain ly; if he is obliged to cut down in all directions, and if he maintains the pro per proportions on the reductions which he makes all along the line. But to make benevolence suffer while lux uries and pleasures thrive, to be "self denying" at the expense of God's work, is scarcely an act of fair dealing. "But we must pay our debts first," says the householder, who has clearer vision for the near fact than for the abiding gen eral principle. Certainly, debts must be paid; including debts to God. If we grant the correctness of the teach ing concerning the Christian's obliga tion to give, then it becomes a real ob ligation, more real than the obligation to wear a. certain style of clothes, eat a certain style of meals, and live in a certain style of house. The puzzling problem of proportion in giving Is solved by adopting some nxea ratio, it is not required or tne Christian, as of the old Jew, that he! give a tenth of his income to the Lord, any more than it is required that he obey the Mosaic enactments concern ing food. We are under grace, and not unaer law. This point needs to be seen clearly, else the zealous tither will nnd himself in difficulties. Under standing definitely that the New Testa ment does not lay upon the Christian any obligation to pay the tithe, we may yet take the position that a tenth of one s income is a fair and reason able proposition to devote to the Lord. This is a good working basis. The Christian has more reason to devote one-tenth of his goods to God than had the old Hebrew. When a man is set ting aside this much systematically, he can at least feel that he is trying to do fairly. The old Levitical rule gives a useful standard: and a standard is what is most needed, for few of us can trust our own impulses in a case like this where our own interests are so directly concerned. A man may have given ten dollars six months ago to some charity, and In the virtuous con sciousness of that good deed refuse all subseciuent calls: whereas he should have been giving twenty-five dollars everv month for charitaoie purposes. In all ethical Questions, frail human nature needa a standard, and in no re spect more than in this one or oenevoi enees. For lack of a better measure, the old Jewish tithing system w ill serve wondrously well. A law of life, perceived by the Wise Man of olden time, is that "The liber al soul shall be made fat." A deplet ed bank account may represent an en larged life. Less mo: ey may mean mora man. Conversely, "Tho stingy soul shall be made lean." Who does not know examples of thrift:', penuri ous persons who have enlarged their hoard of treasure at the cost of their souls: they have money, but nothing else. Another Wisdom Saying is, "There Is that scattereth. and yet increaseth: and ther? Is that withholdeth more than is meet, but It tendeth to poverty." Paul (?av; new form to the same truth when he said. "He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also boun tifully." Only glad giving Is generous; nnd "God loveth a cheerful giver." The gift which the e-iver does not enjoy is no pleasure to God, though It may benefit the recipient. Liberality enlarges life. "Some men give according to their means, and some according to their meanness," runs a bright saying. Saint Francis Xnvler. the noble Jes utt missionary, said that in the confes pirvri' v,p,- ,o nrif "-ni to -.11 elns that he knew and some that he had never Imagined, hut nnn had ever ol nis own accora conressed that he was covetous. Rauschenbusch. Tha pivintr "tw is the law of life. In the deepest interr-etation. we live to give.

"ABOUT MY FATHER'8 BUSINESS." Luke ii, 40-52 Fab. 11. "Bow U that ye taught Met Wist ye not that I mutt be about Up Father's buni- nettt" T. in. The wonderful babe of Bethlehem "grew and waxed strong, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him." The perfect boy was of course far in advance of imperfect children. The schooling privileges to today were unknown. The education gleaned by the masses came to them chiefly through contact with their elders; history itself being handed down from generation to generation, except for the scholarly. Few had more opportunities than this few were able to read; but Jesus was amongst those few not because of schooling privileges in His youth, but because of His brilliant mind, which retained everything that came to it. The superiority of the abilities of Jesus are attested by the fact that when He entered the synagogue of His home city, Nazareth. His talent as a reader and exponent was so generally recognized that the service was usual ly turned over to Him. (Luke iv, 16.) Yet the people marvelled, saying. How comes it that Jesus is a man of let ters, having never gone to school? And they all bare Him witness and wondered at the grace of His speech. (Luke iv, 22.) The explanation is that Jesus was perfect, while all about Him were imperfect. Our lesson relates particularly to an incident which occurred when Jesus was twelve years old. His "parents" obeyed the Mosaic Law by attending the Feast of Passover at Jerusalem every year, and on this occasion Jesus was with them. The expression, "par ents." does not imply that Saint Luke supposed Joseph to be the father of Jesus any more than that Mary so considered the matter when she spoke of Joseph as being His "father." He was the foster father of Jesus. The language is in exact harmony wit' what we would use under such cir cumstances today. Jesus knew of His peculiar birth and of the great prophecies which centered in Him, related by Gabriel to His moth er, and He was on the alert to fulfill His mission the will of the Heavenly Father. He surmised that since at 12 years of age Jewish boys came under the requirements of the Law Covenant, this arrangement might possibly have been made as an indication of His pro per course. Therefore He resolved to consult th very highest authorities respecting the teachings of the Law on this subject. He sought intercourse with the learned Scribes and Pharisees and Doctors. During a considerable part of the time of the Passover Feast the great men of His nation were engaged in public functions, and hence His best oppor tunity for conference with them was at the close of tne reast, ana wne ever He could gain their attention. When the time came ror tne return this Doint. His parents thinking that He was in the company with some of their relatives, went a aay s journey homeward before they ascertained that He was not in the company. Then they returned and sought Him and finally found Him in tne tempie dis cussing the question which to Him was the all-important one cf the hour the time at which public ministry might be begun, according to the Law. Evi dently He had Just finished His auest and found that, although a boy at 12 became amenable to the Law, none could enter upon a teaching or preach ing service until 30 years of age. Jesus Increased in Wisdom. In the last verse of our study we read: "Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." It was not a boy who was to be the Redeemer, even as it was not a boy who had sinned. Jesus, there fore, to be a "corresponding price" for Father Adam and the race which lost life in Him, needed first to be devel oped into manhood. For 18 years He kept growing in wis dom and in grace of character. He did not grow in the Father's favor in the sense of becoming less sinful and more righteous, but in the sense of becom ing developed reaching human perfec tion. Just bo a piece of fruit in grow ing may be as perfect of its kind at the beginning as at the end, but it grows in size and in richness of flavor and therefore in the appreciation of the owner. So with. J esua. The perfect hab he i came the perfect boy; the perfect boy became the perfect youth; the perfect youth became the perfect man; and a 30 years or age was ripe and ready to I be offered as an acceptable sacrifice of sweet savor to God, on Denair or man- kind ''the Just for the unjust." EVERYBODY'S BIBLE BOX. Q.- -When will the world come to an end? (T. W. L.) Answer. According to the scrip tures, the term "world" signifies age or dispensation. Three great "worlds" are outlined In the divine plan of the ages, as revealed In the Bible. (See II Peter 3:5-13.) The first "world" or dispensation passed away at the time of the flood. The second "world," or "present evil world," is likewise to pass away, in a fiery time of trouble not a literal "fire," but a destructive sea son of lawlessness that will destroy the "elements" labor, capitalistic, etc., etc., that go to make up the present social order. 'The world to come wherein dwelleth riehteousness" will I never come to end, but is to continue -t, world that now is (Titus 2-12), is already being violently shaken, and is beginning to crumble away financially. The evi-; dences about us, in the fulfillment of the scripture prophecies, are clear and strong that within the next decade, the new and better order c tne worm to come") will be established in the earth. q. "Know ye not that the saints shall Judge the world I Corinthians 6-2. Does this signify that the world is not now on trial for eternal life? (C J. "SV. Answer. This scripture is in con formity with the united testimony of the teachings or all tne prupiiem nun the apostles to the effect that the: world's judgment day, or trial time, is not in this present Christian era, but j is yet future. "ijoa natn appouimu a. day (a thousand year day II Peter 3:8) In the which he will judge the world in righteousness." (Acts IT;31-) Those who, in association with Christ, v,u tk world in mercy, justice and love, are now being qualified f or that high office, by having developed, in them saintly, Christlike characters. These "saints," who have learned to love their neighbors as themselves, and who even love their enemies, are the ones who, in the future age, will offer every inducement to the world of man- kind to come into harmony with thej gracious requirements of the divine io. rr love and justice and receive eternal life. The fact that the follow ers of Christ are not judging now proves conclusively that the world is not on trial for eternal uie a. v-- ent time. The jungmem uay. of being a time of terror, distress and sorrow, is represented in the scrip tures as being a special time of Joy and gladness for the world. Psalm xcvi. Q What is meant by Divine nature, angelic nature, human nature, etc.. What is meaning of the word nature in these connections? (A. P. N.) Answer The word "nature in its true sense, as applied to creatures, or beings, signifies the kind of organism and sphere of existence in which they u on mnvp and have their being. Thus when human nature is referred to, it signifies the conditions oi existence relating to the human race. The an gelic nature is in a higher and different sphere of existence than that of hu manitv Pralm viii. As there Is a vast difference between the conditions of ex istence of a fish and a mra, so we may reasonably suppose there is just as wide a difference between the human anl angelic. The Divine nature is the highest of all natures, and is different fmm all others in this regard it pos sesses inherent life and is. therefore, immortal. Whereas all other natures possess life that is not inherent, but is sustained by partaking of the life-glv-Ing elements peculiar to the different natures. A blending of natures would be a hybrid thing a monstrosity. The Lord Jesus experienced two changes of n ure. from spiritual to human (He brews ii, 16. IT) and then from human to Divine. It is promised in the Scrip tures that the faithful followers of Christ shall also experience a change of nature, and will "become partakers of the Divine nature" the naturs of God. II Peter i, 4. O. "For we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men." I Corinthians iv, 9. How were the Apostles mad-? a "spectacle" to the angels? (Curious.) Answer. Evidently the angels and all other spirit beings, of which there are myriads upon myriads. (Revelation v, 11) are interested observers of the events transpiring upon this little e-lobe of ours. What the race of mankind is learning by actual experience the spirit beings are learning by observation. As the poet has expressed the thought "All the world's a stag; and men and women merely players." The word "spectacle." in the marginal rendering of the Authorised Version, is theatre. The Apostles were being made "a show of" before the world, and angels and men. because of their loyalty to the cause of Christ. Enduring all manner of hardships, bitter persecutions, and regarded as relieious fanatics "fools" because of their prominence In advo cating the teachings of Christ, they were specially observed. Thus it was with the Master Himself: I His suffer ings. His death, and His resurrection. He preached a powerful sermon In pan tomime to the "spirits in prison" (The fallen angels who disobeyed in the time of Noah. II Peter ii, 4; I Peter iii 18-20). CHURCH NOTICES.

Sometimes a poor excuse is better than none. But to call a special ses sion of the legislature for the pri mary purpose of adopting a new bridge law does not seem to come within even that category. There was nothing that savored much f a real Irish political rally in the first tig home rule meeting that was held at Belfast the other day. Not a single head was broken, either with a fist, a ehillelah or a black-thorn cane. Business conditions at Wichita must be considerably poorer this year than they were last. It will be remembered that when the Wieljitans lost their ball team last year, it was announced in their behall that they were all so busy they had no time to give any atten tion to baseball games. Incidentally. It might be well to recol lect on the anniversary of Lincoln's birth, which comes next Monday, that during his incumbency in effice he was the most maligned and misrepresented president that this nation ever had, and ho proved to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest of chief executives that ever presided over the nation's desti nies. An investigation of the money trust has been ordered by the Democratic majority of the house of representa tives. So has an investigation of the Florida Kverglades land case. The Democrats in the lower branch of the Sixty-second congress are evidently trying to make it certain that they will go down in history as the cham pion investigators. When Mr. Gompers falls into Shakes pearean lingo, the chances are that he iwill attach a glossary to make the nec essary explanations. At any rate that might be a good plan. It might save all kinds of annoyance for him and his friends. However, this is not a chronic faablt with Mr. Gompers. There was nothing vaguely Shakespearean about his declaration that the McNamaras were innocent. Mr. Carnegie, who retired from the steel business a few years ago with a clear profit of $320,000,000, has repeat edly stated of late that material re ductions in the steel tariff would not "be detrimental to the steel industries of this country. Mr. Schwab insists that reductions along this line as proposed fey the steel revision bill which has passed the house will ruin his busi ness. In othfr words, perhaps, Mr. Schwab has not yet had sufficient time to make a pile as large as Mr. Carne gie's. Surely there cannot be much objec tion on the part of an'y one, with the possible exceptio t of the express com panies, to the "zone plan" for a par cels post. At any rate, some limited parcels post plan, at least, should be given a fair and square trial. In all if the countries where it has been es tablished for many years, fiere are as many local and country merchants in business as there ever was. But under this "zone plan" there is no possible chance of the business of such mer chants in this country being injured in any way. Emperor William of Germany con tinues to maintain his position as th; foremost universal peace enthusiast by the preparedness-for-war route. His speech froi.i the throne at the recent opening of the reichstag was concerned almost wholly with a demand for ad dition to the military and naval forces of his country. This must have been anything but cheerful news for the German proletariat who are now pretty ;nearly taxed to death for military and Siaval purposes. Incidentally, you won't Iiave to listen hard or long to hear the war-dogs of England howl for the con struction of another dozen dread noughts of assorted sizes and a larger irtRi'. CHAPTER CXIL (A pathetic "Reminiscence," which should not have a future duplicate.) Here's a pathetic story which ought to have no future duplicate, and b5 only a "Reminiscence," when the law gets after such cruelty and injustice from parents and manufacturers. The Kansas law fortunately prevents such disgraceful and inhuman? treatment of the rising generation, of children who are going to be citizens, of the future. Let Pennsylvania and other states look to Kansas for laws toward enlighten ment and modern civilization. Th3 story is from the Scranton, Pennsyl vania, Independent: "The mill whistl i sounded shrilly. It was 6:30. and still dark, on a bitter Feb ruary morning. "A tiny figure, with a shawl wrapped tightly around its head crept over the railroad track and down toward the mill. "Time had passed slowly. It was 6:38 and more, but the night shift was not yet through 'getting up the ends,' so tho small figure waited in the slush by the mill door. First she stood on one chiil.d foot and then on another. 'Do you work here?' 'Yes. ma'am.' 'And you are how old?' 'Me? Fourteen.' How long have, you worked in this mill? 'Goin' on four years." 'How old were you wh?n you start ed to work?" 'T'irteen.' 'Ah, yes, I see the law has raised the age limit one year in the meantime.' 'Yes ma'am. Ah, but it makss me cold this morning.' 'Yes. it is very cold for you to stand out there. How long do you work in the mill?' 'In there we work every day eleven hours.' "'Eleven hours? For how much a day?' "We are not paid by the day. we get paid every two weeks. I have $5. Some of them have less than $5, but I have $5 every two weeks.' Here is praise from Sir Hubert: President Theodore Roosevelt wrote from the White House to William H. Taft Ma-ch 13, 1906: "My belief is that of all the men that have appeared so far, you are the man who is most likely to receive the Ke' pub lican nomination and who is, I think, the best man to receive it. After Mr. Taft had been nominated for president, Mr. Roosevelt said June 18, 1908: "I do not believe there can be found in the whole country a man so well fitted to be "president. He is not only abso lutely fearless, absolutely disinterested and upright, but he has the widest ac quaintance with the nation's needs with out and within, and the broadest sym pathies with all our citizens. He would be as emphatically a presi dent of the plain people as Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself, would he Ireer irom the least taint of demagogy, the least tendency to arouse, to appeal to class hatred of any kind." Mr. Roosevelt wrote to Conrad Kohrs of Helena September 9, 190S: In Mr. Taft we have a clean man who combines all these qualities to a degree which no other man in our public lite since the Civil war has surpassed." The Success Magazine made public an interview with Mr. Roosevelt Septem ber 18, 1908, in which he said of Mr. Taft: Taft invariably does do the ordinary things and he does them exceptionally well. That is why I say he will make one of our greatest presidents." A letter from Mr. Roosevelt to 'Wil liam B. McKinley September 20. 190S, was made public in which the president saic: It is ursrentlv necessary from the standpoint of the public interest to elect Mr. Taft and a Republican congress which will support him." Mr. Roosevelt issued a statement September 21, 1908, in regard to the Foraker disclosures in which he said of Mr. Taft: His attitude on this Question, as well as on countless other questions, convinced me that of all the men in this Union ne was the man pre-eminently fit in point nf nnrisrhtness and character, of fearless arid aggressive honesty and of fitness for championing the rights of the people as a whole to be president." And yet some impetuous insurgents, disappointed over the ill prospects of their leaders and typical men, like La Follette, cannot seem to understand why Colonel Roosevelt refuses to be a candidate or make that public state ment which they are demanding or saying Roosevelt "owes the country. Do you suppose that Colonel Roose velt wants to be always running for prt" lent or telling this people whom they should have for president These are impertinent questions and Colonel Roosevelt has been asked his share. There is a decidedly interesting lot of lively Democratic news today in connection with the presidentian situa tion. Mr. W. J. Bryan is quoted as saying: I think it would be suicidal to nomin ate Harmon or anyone else favored by Wall Strest." Does that elininate Har mon? Joseph W. Folk of Missouri and Champ Clark of Missouri exchanged courtesies in a long distance telephone conversation today, resulting in the withdrawal of Folk in the interest of Clark. In Washington this morning Repre sentative Dies of Texas hits Mr. Bryan a few cracks and brings out roars of laughter and applause when he says: "I am almost ready to join Gover nor Wilson in his desire of finding some 'decent and orderly manner of knocking Mr. Bryan into a cocked hat.' Mr. Bryan "laid himself open" to attack by charging that thirteen Democrats in the house who voted against the proposition to require publicity on all recommendations on judgeships appointments were un worthy Democrats. Mr. Dies seems to have added a great deal to the gaiety of things in the halls of con gress today and proved himself a sharp dealer in epigrams, for here is a sample of what he gave out: "Mr. Bryan has led the Democrats through three disastrous defeats. If he had spent as much time reading law as he had attacking Democrats in public life, he would have know that the proposed law would be unconsti tutional and an infringement of the president's rights. When the people are ready to give us more power," says Dies, "it is a calamity, if not a crime, for Mr. Bryan to sow seeds of dis- cord- Whatever ..we do here,; dis pleases him. I have followed Don Quixote of Nebraska until I have wearied of warring upon windmill AH of which added to the richness of the situation, the gaiety of nations and showed that there is at least more Democratic discord than there is Re publican harmony. Chapter CXII next week, or week after. A SATURDAY SERMOX. A man's pride shall bring him low; but j asylum is a paying institution, but up honor shall uphold the humble in spirit, j to a ,ate hour this afternoon, no pros Proverbs XXIX 23. j pectus had been issueri nr stock offer- An unreasonable conceit of one's own superiority in talents or beauty, or wealth, or statist, in life, which' manifest Itself in lofty airs, distance, reserve and often in the contempt of others that is pride. That is also why it should be fought against by those who are obsessed with it. And they make up a considerable propor tion of the whole people. This is be cause there is no passion quite so nat ural and likewise so subtle. But it should be harnessed into submission. For :t branches out into many other vices. The proud become vain-glorious. Indeed, vanity is but an ostenta tion of pride. They become fond of the applause of men. They become overly-ambitious. They fall in love with worldly honors and court them assiduously. They become hypocrit ical, disdainful and obstinate. They become contentious and conceited. And because of these attitudes that they assume, the contempt in which they hold others acts like a boom erang. It is showered back a thousand-fold upon their own heads. Nothing good ever comes of such an inordinate self-esteem. The man who is in love with his own excellence Is, as a matter of fact, rather weak minded. As Pope put it: "Pride, the never-failing vice of fools.' Few men are much superior to countless other men who have had similar advantages and opportunities. And if they think they are and take great pains to im press their thoughts in this line on their friends and acquaintances, it shows a weakness of intellect that will eventually prove to be their undoing. If there is one kind of pride, though, which is worse, which is more despica ble than any other, it is the pride I which simulates humility. Coleridge expresses this thought forcibly in his rhyme which runs: "And the devil did grin, for his darling sin. Is the pride which apes humility." The man who is saturated with self esteem, who is so marked with it that he who runs may read, and then tries to make believe that he is humble in spirit he is the worst of the hypo crites. Humility should be courted, how ever, just as diligently as pride should be shunned. It is the opposite virtue of the vice of pride. To be free from pride and arrogance, to have a mod est estimate of one's own worth, to have a sense of one's own unworthi- ness through imperfections a-many and sinfulness these are the things that count in the development of a desirable manhood. These are the conditions of mind which make for real happiness. That's the goal for which everybody is striving, although some, it must be confessed have a peculiar way of going after it. And the rewards are not small, either, for, as the apostle, Simon Peter, wrote in his first epistle: "God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the hum ble." Every man is exceedingly polite when he has something he desires very much to sell. Most of the automobile "joy-riding" you hear about ends up with jobs for the undertakers. An actor who complains about not getting a square deal from his audi ences usually fails in giving them their money's worth. When a man gets to the point where, he misses a goodly portion of sleep, that's a sure sign he's growing old. Generosity on the part of a rich man is nothing for him to brag about. The generous poor man is the one deserv ing of the medals.

Something new in the way of an in teresting announcement as made by the Kearney County Advocate: Will meat go up or down in Lakin That is the question that is puzzling our butchers, for we have a new one in town. Usually competition holds the priea down, but in this case it is dif ferent. John says for some time he will have to stand sponger for the in fant industry, and until it is on a sure basis, this w-ill necessitate an extra ex pense. The youngster ain't worrying any about -t, though, and cares but little whether prices are up or down so long as his meals' come regular. John says, with a great deal of pomp, "We have three boys now," and Mrs. Sherfy seems pleased, just because it pleased John. Mother and child are doing nicely. VAFFYDILS BT U. NOALL.

But whatever else you may say about the Lorimer investigation, it hasn't broken any speed regulations. The Chinese system of handling a similar case would entail an inquest, rather than an investigation. It is reported that the Topeka state Jed for sale in the "Kansas Nut Farm Company." In the accepted term, one has to be come dead before becoming an angel, and in theatrical parlance the differ ence is but slight; to become a theatri cal angel, one begins by becoming dead easy. Most any late-coming husband can think of a good story to tell-his wife; the trouble lies in getting a chance to tell it. It is better for a politician to let others make his campaign speeches; then, :f they don't strike the Popular Chord, he can consign the speaker to the Ananias club, and join in the Pop ular Clamor of Disapproval. Mrs. Kroeck, a Los Angeles woman whose occupation is telling others how to run their homes, is suing her hus band for a divorce on the grounds that he called her a "bum." If he called her that, it was probably because he was too polite to attempt a more fit ting description.

SAYS UNCLE GAV Give "the old man" his due. You're young, heaven bless you, and youth was ever feverishly champing at the bits of discipline. You know a lot of things about the business that the head of the house doesn't seem to have dis covered. You have a thousand good qualities that he doesn't appreciate. Scores of your p-srfectly good ideas are going to waste oecause he won t recog nize their merits. You're wasting your time in a minor position when you should be runnine the works. The "old man" is a fossil, a heartless, ur.seein uninspired, dead and gone to seed old relic, who doesn t know anything Dut to eo on running the business in the good old money-making way, admitting an innovation only after a struggle and then with misgivings. He's a doubter and a dasher of hopes. He's a monster and a few other things, and you're v-sry much underestimated and altogether abused. But The "old man" has been traveling this road for a matter of forty years. Time was when he had his youthful ideas and rebelled against house dis cipline. Time was when he, too, knew more than the veteran head of the house. But hard times came and panic swept the land, and another "old man" stuck to his desk and kept the wheels turning in the good old way, while other mushroom houses closed their doors and turned their employees into the street. And the panic searched th-3 methods of the young and untried men and found them wanting. It searched the methods of that other "old man" and found them -essentially sound. And that other "old man" weathered the storm and kept the business to hand down to your "old man." and your "old man" learned, as you will learn, that while youth will be served age will keep the ship off the rocks. And when good times came again a great understanding was his. He knew he had something to learn and he learn it. just as you will learn from "the "old man" who is your present "oppressor." Let us not paint the "old man" a hero. He Isn't. He is simply the man who has made good while a thousand like you have entered his employ, fallen by ths wayside and been left behind by him because he was too busy with big things they could not learn to stop to pick up the stragglers. He is no w-"d-eyed dreamer, nor is he given to many experiments. He knows the rules of the game and he is solid. He isn't in business for charity's s&ke. He is do ing his work, and he is reaping his re ward in monev and the satisfaction the work brings him which after all is the biggest consideration. He can't listen to your whims and vagaries be cause he can't take his eyes off tho track ahead. After awhile, when you've learned your lesson, he'll lean on you. Perhaps you'll never know until you get to be an "old man" just how much hp wants to lean on somebody who can be trusted not to trip him when he isn't looking. Give the "old man" his due. He has been through the mill and he knows a thing or two. He understands vou bet ter than you understand yourself, and he is willing to let go the minute you are ready to take the heavy end of the Duraen. He s watchinir and wnitfne for that time to come. Don't worry about him. The thine- you need to fear is that you won't be reaoy wnen tne emergency arises and another who understands the "old man better will ster into th r.ian that might have been yours. (Copy right, 1912, by W. E. Williams.) Some men are so grouchy nice weather aggravates them. So many seem to think hospitality is making a man eat too much. What a lot of silly rallying people do in the Interest of favorite candidates. No woman cares so little for society that she isn't, rather pleased to get an invitation. In spite of the demand for truth It is easy enough to get your friends to lie for you- No reformer should become so absorbed in It that he hasn't time to shave and bathe. You men can't deceive yourselves by always thinking of gossips in the femi nine gender. When a man you have stopped on the street wants to get away he shows it plainly enough. Expert testimony may be true, but there are so many who don't know, that it needn't be. GLOBE SIGHTS I BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. INCENSE. Think not that incense smoke has had its day. My friends, the incense time has but begun. Creed upon creed, cult upon cult, shall bloom. Shrine after shrine grow gray beneath the sun. And mountain bowlders in our aged West Shall guard the graves of hermits truth endowed; -And there the scholar from the Chinese Shall do deep-honor, with his wise head hills bowed. And on our old, old plains some muddy stream, Dark as the Ganges, shall, like that strange tide Whispering mystery to half the earth Gather the praying millions to its side. And flow past halls with statues in white stone To saints unborn today, whose lives of grace Shall make one shining, universal church, Where all faiths kneel, as brothers, in one place.

"When a man loves a woman as well as I love you, and when you ad mit that you love me but refuse to marry me, I believe that I am justi fied in wanting to know exactly why." They were having iate supper at a table in an alcove in a large restau rant. The gold tassel at the side of her little theater cap swayed slightly as she leaned her head over, staring at the white cloth with, its mound ot yellow roses. "Look at me, Helen! It's high time that we threshed this thing out," con tinued John Haldon quietly. Helen Rayner's face flushed pain fully. "I I wish you wouldn't dis cuss such personal things here." "Nobody is listening to us. Dean Sherwood is grinning his usual 'She'll never have you, my boy, and I am not willing to submit to expressive public speculation any more. You'll either have to take me now or chuck me over for good. I won't hang fire another day." "Mercy, John! You astonish me. You are so dramatic. Be pleasant and let's enjoy this excellent sup per." "No, the worm has turned, Helen. Anger certainly affects a man's ap petite. You laugh at me constantly. What is your attitude? I want to understand it perfectly. "Are you jealous, my dear?" ques tioned the girl in a half mocking way. "I rode home from Ellen's luncheon today with Freddie Oirr. stead. He has a new car, a beauty! I suppose you've heard about it. Dear me, she sighed audibly, "jealousy is such a stupid habit." "Helen, I have put a plain question to you. I can't force you to answer, but I ask you to for the last time. You can't play with, me and my love for another day." Her eyes met his for a fleeting sec ond and she saw a stern look on his face that forbade further bantering. "What is it you want to know. John?" "Do you still admit that you love me "Yes. You must know that I do." "Then why aren't you willing to marry me? I can offer you all that your father is able to give you." "I am not ready to settle down. I want to have a eood time. When n girl is not yet twenty-two she doesn't want to give up all her fun."- "Granted, but why give it up? Is it because you want other men around?" "No. As it is, I go practically everywhere with you now." "Helen, it's because of Tom Grav ner. You want to remain single until after he comes home with vour brother in the spring. He has more money than I have. Are you mer cenary, after all?" "If I didn't love you, John Haldon, I would never speak to you again. I'll tell you why I haven't wanted to marry you. You have so many the ories, I I have been afraid I would lail as your wife. Now, that's the truth." What do you mean, Helen?" "You believe in what- vnn i-.,m brotherhood and try to help people who are less fortunate than you are You believe in reallv- for your friends.

You think- but if we ever came to marriaee. vou would be sorry that you had taken a woman who was in no sense your helpmeet. I know, John, I have thought about it a ereat many times and tried to laugh the fear out of my heart." Don't say that. Helen. It's like a whip in my face." You expect so much of a woman." "No, you're wrone about that. E-ery man has theories about the curt or a woman he ought to marry, but It snt necessary for him to follow them. I believe that a man ought to marrv a woman who loves him well enough to marry hfm if he needs it, but if you just love me well enough to marry me, that's all I will ask. I want you. Don't you see what a hypocrite I am. ?ay theories are not personally applicable they are for the other people. If you are only waiting for me wnen the day's work is over, that is all I want, truly, Helen, all I want in the world." "Perhaps I am not the woman you want to marry. I am selfish. All rny life I've been warm, silk-llnea and well fel. I have never thought of any body's comfort but my own." "Heredity and environment have created that attitude. When the time comes for any service, you will not be lacking either in willingnes or in ability. I know you better than you know yourself." "At any rate, your faith in me is stimulating." "I love you, Helen. Are you going to put me out of your life tonight for a mere shadowy fear that will prove to have no substance?" She sat there, toying with a jeweled chain about her throat And looking curiously at some new arrivals. "Why, John," she said, forgetting his tender love speech, and all-important question, "those people must be stopping between trains. I never saw a baby out at this time of the night." "Possibly not," he answered indif ferently. "Poor little woman! She can't eat with that baby jumping about so. I believe that I will offer to hold it. It will be a good opportunity to try working out your pet theory that a woman is never so happy as when she is serving men or children." He smiled as shs rose and with her characteristic grace and charm asked if she might hold the baby for a little time.

Am I holding him right so that I won't hurt his back or the soft part in his head?

Our letter are notes, our diaries in the rare cases in which any are kept are line-a-day books, our reading mostly magazines and our visits arc chiefly "week-ends." And yet the twentieth century is tie age of time saving devices. There's the telephone the limited express, the auto mobile, predigested housekeeping, the fountain pen. and a thousand other de vices to save us seconds or hours. ma:i" of which have become such an accustom ed part of our living that we scarcely recognize them as time savers. Again I ask, why is it that with all these devices to save time, we still fesin to have so much less of that precious commodity than our grandmothers did? I have an answer to my question. i don't know that it will appeal to you, but it is the only answer I have been able to formulate aftr very much thought on this subject. It seems to me that this generation Is just like a man whose income has in creased at a rapid rate and, who ha.i felt so delighted and expansive at ti-.; increase, that he bas allowed his wants and his expenditures to increase just about twice as fast. For every hour we've saved, we've tried to use two. Grandmother made soap and her mother spun the wool to make the family clothes. The woman of today does neither and should have that mue.i more time. Instead she uses tip that time and much more in extra burdens which she Imposes upon herself. She has bread and butter plates to wash and three courses to prepare and clear away at dinner, and many other thlnfrs to do, which) grandmother never thought of. That is but one example of the way in which we habitually overspend a con tinually increasing income. Dickens makes one of his characters say some thing to the effect that if a man hag an income of two pounds and spends one pound, nineteen shillings, he is rich, but if he has an income of four pounds and spends four pounds, one shilling, he la poor and unhappy.

ADVERTISING TALKs BY WILLIAM C. FREEMAN j I have always been an ardent advoi-au of advertising for professional men law yers, physicians and demists and hae never been able to understand tin "ethics" which permit the set-king of fro, publicity in the news columns, but con demn the open and aboveboard buflnc: seeklng advertisement. I firmly believe that well-written, for r f ill advertisements In dally newspapers will build a profitable praeti.-e for the reputable physii-lan. dentist or lnwve just as it builds a profitat le business for the merchant and manufacturer. That is why I was glad to ce in thw New York Herald recently an interview with Dr. R. Lincoln (irahain, in with It the doctor puts himself on record in favor of advertising. Dr. Graham observes all the forms pre scribed by the ruling bod tea of the medi cal profession in New York, but he Is -ree in ids crlliriRin of the attitude h. with others, is compelled to an.ume thereby. He says very plainly tint manv New York physicians of unquestioned profes sional standing practice self-exploit ii.g methods not so commendable as adver tising. He further stales that If tbe profes sional ban against advertising v. i raised, it would add millions annually tr the Incomes of pitsici:ms srenerally." It would also Hchten the burden upoii free clinics and dispensaries, and enable rr" ciahsts to reduce their present necessarily prohibitive fees to proportions the gen eral public could pay. j here is no doubt that the jtreate- tiro portion of the reputable, medical mtn nf the country will welcome the time when they will lie free to advertise williout im pairing their professional standing. And that time Is rraduallv druwiir-r nearer, for professional men all over the country are beginning to realize the value of advertising, and It won t be lon-r before their united demands will comix 1 the medical associations to recognize fact and to raise the ban against adver tising.

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett is spending the winter In Bermuda, among rose gardens like those des cribed in her "The Secret Garden." Israel Zangwill is the latest author to be suppressed by the censor in Kng land. Mr. Zangwill seems to be taking the matter quite philosophically, how ever, and though "The Xext Religion" cannot be produced in England he cheerfully looks forward to its produc tion in America. "The play deals," Mr. Zangwill said in an interview after the ban had been put on it, "with re ligion as a living thing, and in a ser ious spirit. The negotiations which have been going on between myself and the Lord Chamberlain's office for the past three weeks have finally broken down because of alterations demanded which I simply could not make. I gave in on a number of points but I could not yield to all the censor's demands. There seems to be absolute ly no guiding principle of any sort in the exercise of the censorship. In 'The Xext Religion' I take no side. Whenever a character says anything which might be considered shocking by anybody there is always some one in the play who says it is shocking." Incidentally Mr. Zangwill has a little 1 fling at a play which has been arous ing furors of protest in the t nited States. "The censorship tends to en courage plays which, if not immoral just graze the line," he says. "This institution is supposed to prevent the production of plays which either are immoral or may cause riots. Yet 'The Playboy of the Western World' which both caused riots and has been de nounced as immoral is a licensed play." Xot only is "The Xext Religion" to be produced in this country by the Liebler firm but it is to be published as a book by the Maemillan company, possibly this year. Before it, however, Mr. Zangwill's "The War God," will be issued. This is a political drama in which the conflicting characters, but lightly veiled, are Bismarck, personify ing War. and Tolstoy, Peace. It i.i ex pected that "The War God" will be ready early in Pebruary. WOMEN'S CUBS. The Xautilus club will meet Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. R. B. Steele. 1634 College avenue.

Bowser came down to breakfast the other morning there was a knowing smile on his face and a chuckle in his throat. Mrs. Bowser looked at him in astonishment, but asked no questions, and at the end of five minutes he said: "You don't seem interested at all. "In what?" "The day." "It seems to be a fine winter morn ing." "Anything else?" "Cook's got the toothache." "Yes?" "And the milk froze and burst the bottles." "Ha! ha! ha! I thought you'd for gotten all about It! My dear Mrs. Bowser, let me introduce you to the fact that this is my birthday!" "Gracious, but so it is!" she ex claimed. "How careless of me to have forgotten! You dear old thing, but I'm going to kiss you!" After the kiss had been duly given he said: "I thought we'd celebrate the day a bit." "Oh. we surely must. How time does fly! It doesn't seem ten years since you were a young man of 20, and here you are, an old man of 57." "What! WThat! What!" shouted Mr. Bowser, as he dropped his knife and fork and turned as red as a painted beet. It was an unfortunate slip on the part of Mrs. Bowser, and she real ized it and wanted to make amends, but before she could find anything to say Mr. Bowser demanded: "So I am in my dotage, am I?" "You know I didn't mean that. I was simply saying that time has passed quickly. Xo one calls a man of 59 old." "Fifty-nine! Woman, what in the devil ails you! Do you think you are talking to some one else!" "Why, it's your fifty-ninth anniver sary, isn't it?" "Fifty-nine! Fifty-nine! Xo! It's my one hundred and tenth!" "Now, please don't be mad," she coaxed. "Ever since I got a bug in my ear I have found that I don't remember things very well. I had go: it in m ymind that you were 59 years old, but if you are not "Of course I'm not!" "Is it 5 7, dear?" "X'ot by a darned sight! If your memory is as bad as this you'd better go to a hospital for treatment. I am 4 5 years old today." Mrs. Bowser is not always politic. She should have let the figures stand, although she knew they ought to be 59. and kept peace in the family. But she didn't. She came back with: "But I was consulting the family bible the other day and "And what in thunder has the fam ily bible or the family almanac to do with my age!" yelled Mr. Bowss4 "It's put down there in the famiiy record that you were born in the vear 1853. This being the year 1911, that makes you "But you've gone at it and changed the record! You've altered the figures! You wanted some sort of a club to hold over me. I'll bet a hundred dol lars to a cent your malicious-minded old mother suggested that move. Ob, yes, you'll deny it and offer the bibie as proof, but there will be no more wrangling over the ease. You've "Soiie at it in the most cold-blooded way and spoiled my happy day." Mr3. Bowser shed a tear or two end offered to make affidavit that Mr. Bowser wasn't a minute over 4 0 year old, but it was too late. The iron had entered his soul. He rose from the table with an icy glare in his eyes and went out for a walk. The first man he met wa3 his neighbor, Hazelcon, and he was greeted with: "Hello, boy. whither away? You are stepping off like a colt this morn ing." "Didn't know it was my birthday, did you?" was replied. "So-o-o? I'll bet I can guess within a year of your age?" "Go ahead." "Thirty-nine." Mr. Bowser waved his hand and laughed and passed on. He felt that he'd give $50 if Mrs. Bowser had heard the guess. His exultation was short-lived. however. Before he reached the corner he struck an Icy spot and went down with a kerplunk, and a policeman hastened up to help him to his feet and to pick up his hat and say: "You shouldn't be out without rub bers on, old man. At your age the bones break like pipestems." "You talk as if 1 were a hundred!" growled Mr. Bowser, and making no thanks for the assistance rendered. "Oh, no, but of course you will nev er see 70 again. That's not so old, but falls are dangerous." Mr. Bowser passed on Into the drug store to be hailed with: "Got a grouch on again this morning?" F WW' i o s 7- WS, t" K HE STRUCK iM ICY SPOT;'' "Xo, sir." "Thought you had, but guess you are simply feeling your age." "Don't you worry about my age. I'm not two years older than you are."

Three doctors -.vcr.; in here the other evening, and none of them put your age at le3S than 67." "Then they are three blamed foola and you are another!" exclaimed Mr. Bowser as he stepped out. Three months before, when he had paid a plumber's bill without kicking, the nlumbcr had spoken of him as "young man." He now entered the shop in search of consolation. "Purty icy this morning?" queried the plumber. "Yes." "T came near having a fall." "Yes." "Us old boys have got to go slow." "How old would you take me t'. be,' was asked. "Well, when the carpenter spoke of you as Old Bowser the other day I told him I doubted you were a day over 65." "What if I should tell you I was only 45?" "I'd say you had forgotten the year you were born!" "Just as I'll forget you when I want any more plumbing done!" There was the butcher. One day when Mr. Bowser had jumped over a barrel lying on its side to escape a dog rush ing at him the butcher said that a boy of 15 couldn't have done better. "Xot going to the office today. Bow ser?'' he a'sked as the caller entered. "Xo. It's my birthday, and I thought I'd celebrate a little." "That's right. Say, now. that makes me think. Can you remember back 75 years ago?"

He meant to take it out on Mrs. Bowser, but he slipped and fell against the fence. Then he slipped and fell against a shade tree. Then he fell down kerwhack at his own gate, and an old woman help ed him up and brushed the snow from his back and said: "Poor old daddy! It's a fharae yon have to b3 out in such weather as this!"

SUFFRAGE NOTES. This week has been an especially bright one at suffrage headquarters on account of the good reports sent in from the counties and districts of the state, telling of the progress the workers are making and the num bers being enlisted in their service. Dr. Alberta Corbiu of Lawrence writes that Superintendent Ilawley of Douglas county is sending out letters to all the teachers of tho county re garding the essay contest, end the County Suffrage association will spend $50 in prizes. The association also guarantees the expenses of Miss Florence Shaw, who has taken charge of the department of education in the county. Miss Shaw has a horse and buggy and expects to use them in making trips over her territory. Mrs. Campbell, the wife of one of the Ger man professors of I,awrence, has been appointed chairman of the member ship extension committee of the Sec ond district to fill the vacancy left by Miss Helen Eacher when she came to Topeka to work at the headquar ters. I Mrs. W. W. Padgett of Fort Scott is chairman for the membership work in Bourbon county. She reports that two township precincts and one country precinct are organized and at work. Mrs. Grinsted reports from Ford county that excellent educational work is being done in Spearville. and will be begun immediately in Dodge City. Judges have already been ap pointed in the essay contest and ar rangements for offering prizes will be made at once. Clay county has been organized with Miss Marie Bardwell as presi dent. They have a membership of 30. Mrs. Mitchell, chairman of mem bership committee of Kingman coun ty, has sent to the Xational, the Woman's Journal and other women's papers for literature for the education of their precinct chairmen. They have equipped themselves for effec tual work. Mrs. Zehner of Dallas. Tex., was greeted by large audiences when she lectured in that county, and her addresses were interesting and convincing. All connected with headquarters are delighted over the intense interest manifested in the essay contest work. Monday morning's mail brought six letters asking for literature and infor mation for essays or debates. One was forwarded from the governor's home. Evidently the Inquirer has heard of Mrs. Stubbs' versatile accomplish ments. One was enclosed in a letter from Xational Headquarters, 505 Fifth avenue, X"ew York. This Ktudent cer tainly betrayed his desire to go to the fountain head for information and not pause at county or state for what he sought. The literature supply i getting low but as long as it lasts all demands will be promptly met, postage only asked. The Xational headquarters has made a gift of one hundred dollars worth of literature to be used in this and simi lar ways, but it has not arrived. Here are a few of the names of those to whom literature has recently been sent: Bessie McClandless. Elmdale. Virl McCreigh, Cedar Point. Jessie Wiedower, Spearville. Every newly elected president, edu cational and membership extension chairman receives a package of liter ature and often the press chairman also. Requests for this suffrage literature is coming, not only to the suffrage headquarters, but to the State and Traveling Libraries and to the State university. The social meeting of the Good Government club at the home of Mrs. Stubbs this week was quite beyond the ordinary guest day meeting. The mu sic and readings were notably good and most of them given by profes sional people. A feature of the pro gram was a musical reading by Mis3 Ceora Lanham, the accompaniment to which was played by Miss Maud Mary Kline. Mrs. ft. W. Payne was one of the singers. Mrs. Payne has not lived in Topeka very long, but already her singing has attracted a good deal of attention. Miss May Clark's violin solos, and a Bi-sirrjs Hungarian Dance played as a duet by Mrs. Morton Al baugh and Miss Kline, were of classi cal excellence. Miss X'ina Roudebush, who gave a debut recital last week, was on the program for a reading, also Miss Marian Lindsay and Miss X'anon Herror.. The paper by Mr. Richard F. Harden on the Probate Court, is being talked of a great deal by those who heard it and by those who read an outline of its contents. Women who are averse to the idea of the ballot, are alive to 1 -U-L J 1 the matter of their properly interest and the suffragists and the "antis" find their opinions running very near ly parallel when It comes to the que t'on of a possible draw on the pocket book, and people with property in terests take a chance on becoming In volved In probate court proceeding, making the question one that touch a live nerve with money people. A box of literature was received to day at suffrage headquarters from th Political Equality league of Los An geles, throuch the courtesy of Its pres ident, Mrs, Steward Adams Simons. HOME GROVil FISH. JVank Bridgmaii Tells ll.v He italse 1 hem In a I'ond. L. I Dyche. state fish and gatna warden, is receiving numerous com munication!) on the question of th- propagation of Tish In artificial pond in this state. The reason for the In creased interest lu the subject at this time is that a number of T-awreni: fishermen who were peeved because Professor Dyche denied them the privilege of pulling great catches fish out of the Kaw, have been trvin to convince the people that there isn't anything to the pond proposition. "I have been j-eceivina; letters." nid Professor Dyche. "from persons wiu have been highly successful in propa gating fish in Kansas ponds, and thn interest manifested by farmers In stocking: ponds with fish was never greater. I have had hundreds of calls for li.ih which I have not been able to fill. However, when the new facilities at the state hatcheries make it possible to keep the special fish car on th move all the time. It will be pos-ibl to stock every pond onca a year." An Interesting Ieuer. The following letter written to Pro fessor Dyche by Frank Urideema u tells how a successful fish pond may be maintained: "I am very much interested in the subject, for I have had three different fish ponds in the last twenty year, and I desire to say that I have had fine success with them. "I have a pond now that in r.0x20 feet, and which Is from 1 to 5 feet deep in depth. The Khallow water is nsrt by the young fish where they feed and where I frequently feed them. I have a netting or wire screen fenra that extends across the pond and di vides It fo that the young fish can go through into the shallow water, where they get their food. I put bran, meal or fine chop and ship (a mill product, beter than bran) In very coarse bur lap sacks and place them In the wa ter where tho little fish can come br hundreds and suck or work out this fed. "Food sufficient for only about 2 4 hours should be placed in the water: if left for a very much longer time It will sour. When tho fish get larger, later in the season, I feed them corn chop and sometimes bread scraps from, the table. The fish are very fond of most any kind of bread, but It Is rath er expensive food and I do not auvle feeding; It to thern to any great extent. In the fall of the year I remove the wire screen fence and feed the fish, for the most part, on cracked corn. I-'isli in Variety. "In this pond I have channel cat fish, river cats, bullhead cats and Ger man carp. It will be four years next fall fince my last pond was blocked. I have channel cat that weigh 2 pounds, river e'at fish that weigh 4 pounds, bullhead cat fish that weigh j to 1 pounds, and carp that weigh 6 pound. There arc also plenty of yeunjr fish In the pond, enough to stock 20 or more ponds like the one I have already described. "I have a large box In the pond In which I keep live fish. I catch what fish I want to last for one or two weeks and place them In this box, and feed them. This enables us to have f reiih fish wheneer we want them, and I must say that the corn fed cat fish are fine. They get very fat nt it Is not as much trouble to rslse fisii of this kind as It ts to raise hone. "We have a cement wall around this pond, which la two feet deep, 1 g Inches In the ground and 6 Inches above the ground. This wall keeps all polluted surface water out of the pond. The pond is supplied with water by a wind mill. I do not allow ducks or gees on the pond during the spring and summer, as at that time they interfere with the spawning fish and with the young fish. "I am very much interested In this fish culture business for farmers. A good many people come out to see this pond, and learn how it is man aged. If anyone who Is interested will come out this spring or summer I tan show them thousands of young flh. also young cat fish and young carp, and may be able to Rive them some pointers concerning how to make a mall pond and how to manage It so that they can have fish for table tipe." tIL 1 .1!..
