The legislature adjourned over Sun day with sixteen working days chalked up against it on the calendar by the time keeper. Out of nine hundred bills introduced four have been signed by the governor and fifty-four passed and To recommended for passage. There are nine hundred yet to come. The committees of both houses are in full blast with a world of work ahead. The innrnnriations committees are down to work at last, having met. in joint k sion last night for the first time. t u of ki T-n h so far be tween the parties on administration bills the Jjemoerais nave me battalions on their side in the .ouse, i l, i"in rr trnllhlpa ftf their O Wfl in the senate. They have jammed the I. and R-, the recall and the consonaa a: iav.ni ii ivw ii ct tlirouerh the i-u' house but have had all three of these measures badly battered in me seuc and none of them over the wall. The majority party has succeeded in antagonizing the Socialists in general and many labor unions in particular. They have bills before them for many new and expensive commissions, and so far they have made no definite pro gress towards cutting down taxes by wiping out or reducing appropriation estimates. But the session is young yet. The troubles of the majority party may increase or they may be diminished. It is still a matter of guess work. But it is no guess to state that the unterrified have more trouble now than they had a month ago The Republican members of both bodies seem to be working well to gether. And it is a fact that one sel dom hears the word progressive or the other word regular in legislative circles now, while two years ago at this time these words were used more than any other in connection with most of the important measures that came up for disposition. The house has recommended for passage the bill providing for two pay days a month by all corporations em ploying mechanics or laborers. Ragle of Montgomery, and Keene of Bourbon, both had bills of this nature and the house used the good points of buth of them in the bill passed today. The railroads, especially the Santa Fe, op posed this bill, claiming that its pass age would cost the road $24,000 a year extra money -or bookkeeping and dis bursement expense. "It shall be unlawful for any officer of a fraternal beneficiary association to use or spend any portion of vhe mor tuary fund or emergency fund for ex pense purposes, and any officer who rhall authorize or use any part of such funds for such purposes shall forfeit his office and become personally liable to the corporation for all sums so il legally expended." The above is the text of the bill by Riddle, of Marion, recommended for passage by the house. Jim Orr, of Atchison, after two years has carried his point half way to com pletion. He has his bill abolishing fees from the attorney general's office through the house. It is true that there is still the senate and the gov ernor in the way of the measure on its journey to the statute books, but the hard half of the job is finished. Orr fought two years ago in the house with the minority party to pass this bill. Taylor Riddle, of Marion, op posed the bill throughout an afternoon of bitter -debate in vain. John Daw son, attorney general, was called on the floor to explain certain parts of the bill and its relation to his office. The bill places the attorney general on a salary of $4,000 a year and wipes out the fees for him or his assistants (Continued on Page Two.) JOHN G. BUNKER DIES. Well Known Iiebanon Man Came West When War Ended. Lebanon, Kan., Feb. 1. .nt his home in this city John C. Bunker, one of the best known pioneers in eastern Smith county, has just died. He was an old soldier, serving in Company K, Thirtieth Iowa infantry and winding up in Sherman's famous march to the sea. He was. born in Washington county, Iowa, February 25, 1S43. He came west at the close of the war and settled in Gage county. Neb., in 1865. He was married to Miss Mar tha J. Johnson in 1872. being the first marriage ceremony performed in the county in which he lived. Mr. Bunker came to Smith county in 1891. He served as county commis sioner in this county' two terms, from 1S97 to 1903, and was later twice mayor of this city. He leaves three sons, Byron S., a prosperous business man of Norton. Kan.; Thomas J., proprietor of the Commercial hotel and livery barn in this city, and John T.. a farm er of South Dakota. His wife died 12 years ago. Falls on His Father's Sword. New Tork, Feb. 1. Louis Duryea, a Brooklyn youth, tied his father's sword to a chair today, then lunged forward and impaled himself on the blade. The family thought he had died of heart disease until examination disclosed a deep wound in his ab domen. The blood stained sword, a relic of the Civil war was then dis covered fixed to the chair. The young man left no note explaining his suicide. Leavenworth, Kan., Feb. 1. An other chapter was added to the mar ital troubles of William H. Hiatt of Lansing, Kan., today when his third wife, Carrie G. Hiatt, filed suit for divorce, alleging extreme cruelty and gross neglect of duty. Hiatt is a wealthy old settler, reputed to be worth $50,000. Some time ago his first wife died, and on July 14, 1909, Hiatt, who is more than 60 years old, surprised his friends by marrying Bessie McEvoy, a pretty 1 6-year-old girl. She left him in November of the same year and was granted a divorce from Hiatt in 1911, after several sensational hear ings. On April 1, 1912, Hiatt mar ried Carrie Simpson, a good looking widow from Winfield, Kan: The third Mrs. Hiatt alleges in her petition filed today that Hiatt led her to believe he would provide a home fitting their station in life, but that she has been cruelly deceived and that Hiatt some time ago left her with only $40 and notified all the mer chants in Lansing that he would no longer be responsible for her debts. She asks for temporary alimony and for a restraining order to prevent him carrying out a threat to sell their household goods. TO HIS FRIENDS. Mayor Billard Tells Them He Is in Mayor Race. Mayor J. B. Billard this morning issued a formal request for support from his friends in the spring elec tions, and extended his thanks to those who voluntarily circulated his peti tions. It is expected that the mayor's announcement will be followed by the formal declaration from the four commissioners, who are also to be candidates for re-election. Following is the statement issued from the mayor's office: To the People of Topeka: I wish to extend my sincere thanks to my friends who have voluntarily circulated my petitions; also, to the many who have signed them. It is a source of pleasure to me to know that so many of the citizens of the city are well enough satisfied with my services to ask me to again be a can didate. Many petitions have been sent in and many more are still being; circulated. In response to the request con tained in .these petitions, I now for mally announce myself as a candidate for re-election to the office of mayor of the city of Topeka. I will appreciate the support of my friends and. of all citizens of the city who are satisfied with my ser vices. If re-elected I will continue to perform the duties of the office and serve the people to the best of my ability and for the best interest and good of the entire city. J. B. BILLARD. MEMORIAL TO UNCOLN Tart Signs a Resolution Providing for One at Washington. Washington, Feb. 1. President Taft's first official act today was to sign the congressional resolution pro viding for the erection of a memorial here to Abraham Lincoln in Potomac park. Senator Cullom of Illinois, who was a friend of Lincoln's, and worked for years to get congress interested in a memorial, witnessed the signing. The plan approved by congress in the resolution will require an appro priation of $2,000,000 which will be made later. SEE "MOVIE" TRAGEDY Cliicagoans Awed at Maniac's Deed Badly "Sold." Seabright, N. J., Feb. 1. A young man with his face dramatically set and a woman with her hair flying wildly sped through the streets on a motorcycle here yesterday, heedless of the warnings that the drawbridge over the Shrewsbury river just ahead of them was open. Neither rider seemed to hear and in an instant the motor cycle was turning a somersault in the air and man and the girl went into the water. Hundreds of persons ran up, ex cited at the news that a crazy man had driven a girl and himself into the river, only to find that a motor- boat had picked them up safely. Some women, who witnessed the. affair, were almost fainting when boys in the crowd shouted: "Get wise, it was all done for the 'movies.' See the man with the cam era over there?" TO SIT IN SAME BOX. Taft and Wilson Will Be Guests of the Suffragists. Washington, Feb. 1. President Taft and President-elect Wilson will be the guests of honor of the National Wom an's Suffrage association at the big ipageant on March 3. The two dis tinguished guests will occupy the same box on a large stand at the south front of the treasury. Swift Buys Four Concerns. Chicago. Feb. 1. Swift and Company announced today the purchase of four middlewest poultry and produce com panies. The concerns taken o- r are: The Clarinda Poultry, Butter and Eggs Company with offices and farms at Clarinda; Leon, and Creston, Iowa and Lincoln, Neb.; The Central Michigan Produce Company, of Alma,. Michigan; Iowa Cold Storage Company, of Clin ton, Iowa; S. P. Pond Company, of Keokuk and Ottumwa, Iowa. LABOR BILL TO GO OYER Filibuster and Night Session Killed All Plans. An Aid to County Fairs Sug gested in Senate. Next week begins the real test of the Democratic strength in the senate and the relation of this power to the planks in the platform of the admin istration. Fifteen special orders have been recommended for passage sub ject to debate and amendments and these special orders include the real meat and salt of the message of the governor and the promises of the Democrats in their campaign over the state this fall. Lined up against many of these keystone measures of the Democratic platform are a few of the strongest men in the upper house this session Price of Clark, Troutman of Shawnee, Mahin of Smith, Carey of Reno, Stave ly of Osage and Wilson of Washington. Among the Democrats, under the spirited leadership of Balie Waggener of Atchison, are Davis of Bourbon, Bowman of Anderson, McMillan of Ottawa, King of Cowley and Shouse of Edwards all able speakers and determined fighters. The Democrats have the one great and often victorious advantage they have a working voting majority. The Republicans have the advantage of a number of clever politicians, able law yers and convincing speakers. With the entire batch of constitu tional amendments ready to be chosen next week, comes the important ac tions of the sessions. Second to no bills or measures suggested are the initiative and referendum, the recall, the four-year terms, the constitution al convention, the corporation fran- (Continued on Page Two.) GOLD IS HOARDED. Not a Yellow Coin Is In Circulation In Paris. Paris, Feb. 1. Gold which is now at 20 cents premium on $100, has al most entirely disappeared from cir culation in France. The only places in Paris where gold coin can be ob tained are the Paris branches of American banks. The French banks refuse to hand even one 20 franc piece to their customers. The hoard ing of gold has been in progress for threw months owing to apprehension of a possible war. For two or three days recently when peace in the Bal kans seemed likely a few gold pieces began to reappear in circulation but these have once more vanished. TODAY IN CONGRESS.

Twenty thou sand women battled with one another to get into the tabernacle here, where the Rev. W. A. Sunday, the baseball evangelist, is conducting a revival. Women fought with, umbrellas and with hat, pins, policemen used their clubs. A score of women fainted and hundreds suffered injuries. One lost a i purse containing $200. One cripple was Daaiy hurt. Hundreds of women gath ered at 4 a. m., although the meeting was to have commenced in the after noon. At 10:30 the doors were thrown open and the score of ushers and small army of policemen on duty were swept away by the rush of feminine worshipers.

'MROY'S BILL It Would Create a State Hotel Commission. A License of $2 and Upwards per Year. Miles H. Mulroy of Ellis county to day introduced a bill in the house creating a state hotel commission for the supervision of all hotels and eat I ing houses and to take over the work now under the direction of the state board of health. Under the terms of Mulroy's bill, the commission would be self sustaining. In fact it would probably return a competency to the state. The Ellis county member would provide for the rigid inspection of all hotels, restaurants, boarding houses, and apartment houses. This inspection would cover every feature of the hotel from the sanitary equipment of the kitchen to the inspection of nine foot sheets in the bedrooms. Each hotel and restaurant shall be classified and properly advertised and no rooming house shall carry a ten foot sign ad vertising the fact that it is a hotel. An annual licenta of $2 will be i charged each hotel, restaurant, apart ment or rooming house coming under j the superivlsion of the commission. Hotels with twenty bedrooms shall pay an annual license of $3 and an addi tional license of $1 covering each ad ditional ten bedrooms. Orders of the commission as to sanitation and pub lic safety shall be final and binding and failure to comply with orders, shall subject the owner to a fine of $5 a day for each day he is derelict in obeying orders, while refusal to obey any order is sufficient for the commission to close the house. The commissioner shall receive an annual salary of $2,000 while his two assistants shall be paid for actual time spent in the work. These three men shall compose the hotel commission. It is claimed that the board of health" has agreed to concede their hotel supervision to this commission in event one is created by the present legislature. Kansas business and commercial colleges will hereafter be under the supervision and authority of the state superintendent if a bill introduced in the house today by J. M. Gilman of (Continued from Page Two.) BESEIGED 0 WAY TO STOP IT Police Can't Make Arrests Until I Mice Are Released. Greatest Display of Hose and Skirts Is Likely. Washington, Feb. 1 Scampering rats and mice are counted on by col lege students to stampede the suffrage parade on March 3, and the unusual demand for rodents was explained to day, when the plot that has spread through virtually every college organi zation in the capital, was learned. The collegians intend, it has developed, to post their forces along the length of Pennsylvania avenue and at a pre arranged signal, dash into the march ing line with handbags or parcels con taining the mice, shaking them out into the strc t. They anticipate the greatest display of hosiery and lingerie ever seen. When the plot was uncovered the suf fragist leaders were dismayed. Appeal to the police has been made and Com missioner Rudolph has promised pro tection. The police, however, cannot make arrests until the mice are lib erated and the women fail to see that arrests will remedy the situation. "It's just perfectly horrible," said a blond suffragette at national head quarters today, shuddering at the prospect. "Of course I'm not fright ened but there are so many timid wo men. And, besides, a mouse is a mouse." In an effort to convert the men to the cause of universal suffrage, it was announced today that "Experience meetings for men only" would be held next week. The speakers will be wo men and they will be prepared to an swer any questions that may be asked. BABY FACTORIES NEXT Harvard Professor Says Creation of Human Life Is Coming. Boston, Feb. 1. That it is scientifical ly possible to create human life by chemical and physical means and that a baby factory is not at ail an impos sibility in the distant future, is stated by Dr. Martin Kellogg Schermerhorn of the department of philosophy of Harvard. Dr. Schermerhorn spoke be fore the Metaphysical club. "Life is not confined to the animal and plant world," he declared. "The whole universe is alive, and all that lives is conscious. "Animals are conscious and gifted with the power of thought and imagi nation, even though Roosevelt, who thinks himself a great hunter, says that they do not' know when they are being brutally slaughtered. "Plants are conscious and Ruskin and Goethe agree that they are capa ble of exercising startegy and fore thought. Even Darwin stated that plants are sensitive and hence he must ha ve believed that they were conscious. "Hence it is obvious that the evolu tion from so-called matter to human life is possible. The chemist of the fu ture will labor so that men will be made in baby factories as chickens are now hatched in incubators." New Tork,' Feb. 1. With the expect ed signature today of contract to join the New York National League baseball club, James Thorpe, the Carl isle Indian, will come into baseball under unprecedented circumstances. Dethroned as the world's amateur ath letic champion, through his confession of charges that he played professional baseball in the Eastern Carolina League three years ago, Thorpe is grabbed up by Manager McGraw, of the New York Giants at a salary re ported to be over $5,000 with only an ordinary record behind him of ability as a baseball player. Mr. Graw never saw Thorpe play ball. As a matter of fact it is doubt ful that any of the managers of the four other Major league clubs who bid i for his services had ever seen him play, but all apparently trusted that i the man who was recently crowned in the Olympic games as the world's I greatest athlete would make a valu able acquisition to Major league base ball. Although Thorpe's records in the Eastern Carolina League are note worthy, McGraw, who pays little at tention to averages, is certain that the Indian has the making of a great ball player. Thorpe's play in the South was as pitcher, outfielder and first baseman. In the box he won a few more games than he lost and in field ing he had a percentage of over .900. He was not regarded as a scientific batter, swinging at the ball freely and not being satisfied unless he hit it out of the lot. His average, however, was over .250. He was regarded as a won derful thrower and a speedy base run ner, however. If he wears the uniform of the Giants next season he will have the records of at least three other Indian Major league baseball players worthy of emulation. Sockalexis, who played with the old Cleveland Natioial League team in the nineties, Charles Bender, the great Chippewa pitcher, of the Philadelphia Athletics and "Chief" Meyers, who catches for the New York Giants, are three aborigines who have risen to prominence in baseball. In all there have been about a dozen Indian ball players in the history of the Major league. Trophies Go Back. New York, Feb. 1. A miniature Vik ing ship and a bust of the king of Sweden, trophies of James Thorpe's prowess on the Olympic field, went back to Stockholm today on the Amer ican liner New York. They were con signed" to Christian Helstrom, secre tary of the Olympic committee at Stockholm, by James E. Sullivan, sec retary of the Amateur Athletic union. Thorpe returned them to the union after his recent confession of profes sionalism. SURPRISE INJURED MAN Rock Island Employee Gets $2,000 and Expenses., Lebanon, Kan., Feb. 1. A "heartless corporation" has just shown the peo ple of Lebanon that it is not as bad as some of them painted. Some three months ago J. S. McFall, a bridge car penter on the Rock Island railroad while working at Formoso was acci dentally struck by some part of the machinery of a pile driver, causing a fracture of the left ankle bone. He was brought to the Lebanon hospital and though receiving the best of treat ment, for more than twelve weeks Z.as not been able to leave his room. A few days ago, the adjuster for the Rock Island came to Lebanon and in thirty minutes had paid the injured man $2,000 in full for all damages; adding $550 for hospital, fees and other expenses. This was much fairer than McFall expected.- And now it isn't much use to talk to him about "soul less corporations." TO END HIS "BATTLING" Mrs. Nelson Likes the "Love in a Cot tage" Stuff. Portland, Ore., Feb. 1. Battling Nelson will cease to be a prize fighter as soon as engagements already sign ed for are finished. This is the positive statement of his bride, for merly Fay King, who arrived here for a visit with her parents yesterday, Mr. and Mrs. Jack King. "Bat Nelson is going to quit the ring," she declared in a firm tone.'"He has a few fights scheduled and he really can't back out of them, but after that he's going to stop. I love him just as he is, without more hon ors, although" here defiantly "I think ,he is a good enough fighter right now to give Willie Ritchie an awful fight, and maybe knock him out. "I'm strong for this Iove-in-a-cot-tage stuff and some of these days when I quit cartooning I'm going to bring Bat to Portland and settle down here. "Bat wants to see the world before we settle down and talks of taking me to Australia, the far ease and even up to 'Copenhagen, Denmark, where he was born." NEW RULES IN FORCE. Supreme Court Puts Rigid Restric tions on Injunction Business. Washington, Feb. 1. New equity rules promulgated by the supreme court of the United Statesfor the fed eral court throughout the country went into effect today. Their, general purpose is to reduce the cost of litiga tion and eradicate needless delays. One of the provisions in the new rules imposes rigid restrictions upon the granting of temporary-injunctions in such cases as labor troubles. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Snow tonight or Sunday. MANY OF DRASTIC NATURE Railway Men in Topeka Pre dict Earning Loss. 'o Lobby Maintained by Roads in This City. Pending in the legislature are fifty seven bills affecting railroads adverse ly. Officers of the railroads In Topeka say that if these measures are enacted into law, their effect would be to wipe out practically the net earnings of the several lines in Kansas. The introduction of so' many anti railroad bills was a surprise, in view of the fact that noither political party mentioned railroads in its platform, and the further fact that Governor Hodges declared in his inaugural ad dress that there was no need of further railroad legislation at this time. "The public utilities commission," said Governor Hodges, "has unlimited authority, and should use its power, not to hamper, but to aid in the de velopment of all public utilities. Re markable railroad development and the construction of new lines are In pro gress, proving the saneness of Kansas railroad legislation now on the statute books, and giving an added sense of security to the investors of railroad stocks and bonds." Among the drastic anti-railroad bills pending are: To require the railroads to increase their train crews, by em pIoyinB for every freight train an ex tra brakeman who, railroad men say, cannot possibly be used in the opera tions of the train with safety to traf fic; to require the railroads to pay their employees twice a month, instead of once a month, the custom generally followed over the country; to require them to pay the salary and expense of a large number of men to "inspect" locomotives; to require them to build sheds and barns at every station for live stock; to require them to stop all passenger trains at county seat towns, a bill aimed at California fast trains; to require them to furnish fr-e trans portation on passenger trains both ways for shippers of live stock; to re quire all railroads to Incorporate under Kansas laws; to prohibit the railroads from holding the stock of any other corporation such as terminal com panies, union depots, coal mines and the like. The railroads maintain no lobby at Topeka. Each line is represented by some of its general officers, who are duly registered in the offices of the secretary of state. These officers have appeared before the committees from time to time and given their reasons why the flood of anti-railroad bills should not be enacted Into laws. Since it became known that several drastic measures against the railroad have been introduced, business men. farmers and stock men In various parts of the state, who believe that Kansas is In need of further railroad develop ment, have urged that members of the legislature exercise care in the enact ment of legislation tending to make capital timid about Kansas invest ments. "We need the get-togfther spirit." Governor Hodges said in his Inaugural address. "Kansas needs more business and less politics; more pulling together and less pulling asunder: a building ui policy instead of a destructive policy. Let politics take a back seat and busi ness builders take the reins and drive awhile. The man who takes up a c-am-palf-n of state development regardless of party will command the everlasting gratitude of a grateful public." REAL WINTER WEATHER Only Two Above Today Will Stay Over Sunday. This Is real winter weather and all Topeka Is shivering. A drop from the spring kind to near zero weather In a day or two is "going some." The minimum temperature today was 2 degrees above zero at 7 o'clock this morning. "We are going to have some winter now," said "Sunny" Flora today. "The forecast intimates that there Is the possibility of snow tonight or Sunday. Snow at this time would be a blessing, particularly in the western part of the state where the wind has begun to move the soil. The surface of the ground is dry here too. So we are for the snow. The mercury will probably be close to zero Sunday morning." The forecast: "Unsettled weather i with probable snow tonight or Sunday; not much change In temperature. Just a Little Warmer. The weather moderated somewhat in nf the rav. At 2 o'clock this j afternoon the thermometer registered 13 degrees. The shippers' forecast: "Protect 36 hour shipments north against temper ature of zero; east against tempera tures of from zero to five above, south and wast temperatures of from five to ten degrees." This would indicate that the mercury will register about five degrees above zero Sunday morning. The wind was blowing four miles an hour from the northeast at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The hourly readings: 1 o'clock 3 j 11 o'clock 5 8 o'clock 2 j 12 o'clock 8 9 o'clock........ 2 I I o'clock 10 10 o'clock.... 5 j 2 o'clock 13 Fire Destroys Barn and Stock. Marysville, Kan., Feb. 1. Fire of un known origin totally destroyed the large stock barn at Summerfleld, this county, owned by E. T. O'SullIvan, of Tonganoxle.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOtTRNAIr SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1, 1913- iiOlifT Tiir rinroii oiiHi inc rinto Congress Will B& Held Wednes day to' DIscuss-PreYentlon. 3Ien of Prominence; Are en the List of Speakers., A rigid investigation Into' the 'fire .waste in Kansas will be conducted in Topeka next Wednesday, when a state wide fire congress will be held. The meeting is promised to be the biggest ever attempted. Several speakers of national prominence have been secured. Starring among the attractions, per haps, is ex-Chief Croker, of the New Tork fire department. ,who is known as a veteran fire fighter, and who has now turned his attention to fire prevention. He is scheduled to de liver an address that will prove of in tense interest, not only to those who are directly interested in the subject, but to every man who owns property that is subject to fire. Other noted speakers, each a fire pre vention expert, include Fire Marshal C. J. Doyle, of Illinois, and Superin tendent Doane, of the Utah insurance department, who is said to be one of the finest platform orators on the sub ject of fire prevention in the country. Governor-elect George H. Hodges is elated for at least a short address, and several other speakers from various marts of the state will be arranged for. The congress will consist of three ses sions, one in the morning, one in ihe afternoon and a third at night. Statistics relating to the immense ifire waste in the state and' nation will be presented and the burning question will be, how to decrease sucn a, joss. It is a well known fact that the fire loss in this country is greater than in in; civilized country. Kansas is by no means behind the average, being rather ahead of the average in the loss per capita. The average loss for every roan, woman and child in the country In a year is $2.48. In Kansas the an nual per capita loss reaches $2.88. Ex-Chief Croker lias been a promi nent figure nationally for a number of vears. His life is full of thrilling in cidents, narrow escapes and blood curdling scenes. He has seen the abomination of the crowded fire traps called factories of New Tork. and where hundreds have lost their lives in the space of a few minutes. They Pay the Price.: Emphasis will be laid upon the fact that every man, whether he owns pro perty or not, helps to pay for the fire waste. The property owner pays the price partly in increased cost of in surance and partly in increased risk to that part of this property or busi ness that never can be covered by in surance. Th? man who owns no pro perty pays his proportion in the in creased cost of living, due to the fact that, in some way, property destroyed must be replaced. The record of incendiarism in Kan sas also will be related, and the record is bad enough. In several Kansas cities fire after fire has been traced to incendiarism. To each case there was a heavy loss to property owners besides the loss to insurance com panies. Commercial bodies in every part of Kansas have been asked to co-operate in making the congress a success. Civic organizations of every kind have been invited to help in the work. Fire chiefs of the various cities and towns of the state have been invited, and clubs and other organizations will be urged to take part. The meetings will be for everybody, and light on the subject of prevention of fires, simple rules that will nbviate many danger ous situations that might require only a half burned match or a lighted cigar stump to start into a disastrous blaze are promised. The congress will be held by the Kansas State Fire Prevention associa tion, which already has helped in the fight against preventable fires. The anotive for the meeting is to give those who want to know more about the prevention of fires an opportunity to Jearn, and to help spread the gospel of the conservation of fire waste. The congress, from replies already receiv ed by the committee in charge, promi ses to be an immense success. FOR JUST 16 DAYS. (Continued from Page One.) chise and tax, the income tax and the combination of the labor departments. All these acts have been postponed for amendment and debate until the beginning of the grind next week and the mapped out program will have no little effect on the future of the Democratic party in the state. The Democrats failed last evening to turn out enough senators to vote through the bill abolishing the office of state mine inspector, director of Iree employment bureau, and the commissioner of labor and creating In lieu thereof a commission of labor and industry. It was planned among the wise men of the majority to push this bill through the senate that it would be passed before the state labor interests met in Topeka the first of the week and brought heavy pressure to bear on Governor Hodges. But when the senate was called to order last evening, enough Republicans -were there to pass an adjournment until Monday at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the bill held over. The Democrats have to blame, none other than Senator Lambertson of Brown county. Lambertson succeed ed in deadlocking with a myriad of parliamentary rules the entire body for nearly an hour and before the fili buster could be broken the Brown county senator had a "hog tie" on the labor bill. Senator Davis of Bourbon is in fa vor of dividing the revenues that would be derived from the Wilson of Jefferson constitutional amendment on Kansas University taxation. Davis would take 25 per cent of the one third mill and give it to the city and county high schools of the state. An other 23 per cent would go toward the maintenance of the public schools in the state. This would leave for the maintenance and equipment of Kansas university, 50 per cent of one-third of one mill tax on each dollar's worth of taxable property in the state. The Democrats are determined this year to save money on educational institu tions. To encourage and aid the county fair movement throughout Kansas, James Malone has introduced in the senate a bill requiring the county commissioners to assist in the pay ment of premiums given at agricul tural fair associations. The only re quirement insisted upon by the bill 1M that the fair shall have been in suc- TURKEY'S REAL RULERS A rr- Enver Bey. Constantinople. Feb. 1. Martial law rules In this city with the fate of the nation in the hands of two men En ver Bey, successor of Nazim Pasha, whom he shot dead, as commander of the army and military governor of the capital, and Talaat Bey, the new min ister of interior, who plotted with En- ver Bey the assassination of Nazam Pasha. The sultan has been reduced to a figurehead by the events of the past few days. Bloody scenes are looked for here if Enver Bey carries out his present plans. He has convened a military tribunal such as condemned thousands to death in the days of the French com mune, and has arrested over 200 ad- cessful operation for three consecu tive years. Senator Stavely of Osage county is the largest contributor of bills in the senate affecting cities of the third class. Hardly a day passes that the Republican does not suggest some new method of operating cities of this class in the state. His latest attempt is to give them power to construct and maintain pipe lines, electric light and telephone plants and waterworks and sewer systems. He also has provided for strict police regulations beyond the city limits of third class towns. Stave ly hails from Lyndon where he makes a thorough study of the needs of smaller cities. The action of the judicial committee of the senate in killing the intermar riage between whites and blacks bill was a surprise to most of the senate onlookers. It was figured that this bill passed by the house would have little trouble in in sliding through the senate on account of its strictly domestic nature with nothing to do directly with the admin istration platform. The vote in the committee was unanimous only one vote not counted that of Milton of Wyandotte, who refused to vote. The Wyand-tte senator also refused to vote on the contest case. Apparently Kan sas City, Kan., is well inhabited by Socialists and members of the colored race. IN SENATE "MILL." (Continued from Page One.) entirely. His assistants are to receive $3,000 a year apiece. Dawson told the house that 1,400 cases in two years netted fees in the sum of $6,000 to $8, 000. Using this for the basis of his argument, Orr put Riddle and his plea of cutting down expenses and keeping salaries down to rout. He showed a profit for the state from the transac tion. Members of the educational com mittees, both of the house and sen ate, gave the boards of regents and heads of state educational institutions three lively hours Friday night when they had under consideration the Keene bill for a consolidation of the boards of regents of the various state educational institutions and the crea tion of a state board of administra- j the reporting of the bill was taken at the joint session of the two com mittees, but the measure will prob ably be reported in both houses early next week. President H. J. Waters of the State Agricultural college discussed the Keene bill at length and explained to the law makers his objections to the measure. The Manhattan man de clared that the state educational in stitutions had no objection to the ad ministration bill further than it de stroyed the various boards of regents and threatened to impair the individu ality of the several state schools. He admitted that an administration board to control in a general way all of the state educational institutions and to prepare the budgets and make legis lative recommendations concerning the several schools would probably prove of some benefit and merit not only to the schools but to the state as well. But President Waters want ed the various boards of regents left Just where they are and their gen eral work undisturbed. President J. II. Hill of the Emporia State Normal told his views of the proposed administration bill and thought that the passage of such an act would work a real hardship on the schools. A. M. Keene, member of the houso from Bourbon county and author of the bill, defended his measure before the joint committee and urged a favorable report en the bill. He urged that the schools vould not suffer, but that the state would save thousands of dollars annually in useless appropriations to schools un der a strict supervision of the educa tion work. Three members of the several boards of regents also appeared be fore the committees. They were Scott Hopkins, representing Kansas univer sity; W. R. Blackburn, representing the State Agricultural college, and Lieutenant Governor Sheffield In galls. who appeared as one of the re gents for the state normal. Each of the three men urged upon the mem bers of the educational committees that the usefulness of the state schools would be hindered and blocked by the creation of the administration board without safeguards that would require radical amendments to the Keene document.

Serious opposition to Enver Bey and the young Turks has developed by rea son of the belief that the new com mander of the army has been intrigu ing with Germany to deliver Turkish territory into German control. Enver Bey has negotiated a $15,000,000 loan from a German bank. Enver Bey is a natural leader of men and a soldier of proved ability. The stubborn resistence of the Turkish forces in Tripoli that opposed the Italian conquest of that country was due largely to his genius and deter mination. mittees will hold a second session ear ly next week before taking final ac tion on the bill. That Gordon bill, compelling gas companies to furnish consumers not less than 98 per cent, pure gas and to- maintain a pressure equal to four ounces water column pressure through all conduits, mains and pipes, was recommended for passage in the house committee of the whole Friday night. The recommendation did not come, however, until after the member from Wyandotte had made a stubborn fight for the adoption of his measure. Things which Gordon would do to Kansas gas companies which fail, re fuse or neglect to comply with the proposed new law, are quite sufficient to cause alarm to any energetic, am bitious and thrifty corporation. Not only does Gordon want almost abso lutely pure gas, but he wants plenty of it. Failure to get these things, un der the terms of Gordon's bill pro vides that the downtrodden consumer shall not be compelled to pay his monthly gas bill but may have a posi tive and absolute defense against any claim for judgment in a court of com petent jurisdiction. The bill also pro vides that the utilities commission, the state oil inspector and the state oil inspector's deputies shall make regu lar inspection of the gas pressure and supply. Where breaks occur in gas mains or pipes, the Gordon bill allows the company 24 hours and no more in which to make repairs and re establish the old pressure required un der the proposed new law.

LOST ONJNGINE Engineer Says Fog Hides Even Whistling Posts. aieu Who Guide Trains Must Watch Closely Hutchinson. Kan.. Feb. 1. Can a railway engineer become lost in a fog with his train? They not only can, .but do, says W: B. Baldwin, a veteran engineer on this division of the Missouri Pacific. En gineer Baldwin explains that it is very easy for an engineer, while driving his train through a fog, to lose his bear ings, and become utterly lost. "I was lost in a fog a few years ago while pulling No. 1 on the main line of the Missouri Pacific," said Engi neer Baldwin. "The sensation was just the same as it would be if I were lost In the pine woods of Michigan. I was running about SO miles an hour. Af ter passing a few objects which I could not locate, I reduced my speed to 20 miles to be safe, as I was ap proaching a Junction and regular stop. I did not proceed very far after re ducing speed until I passed the first switch lights in the yard, much to my surprise. "If I had not observed the rule, 'in case of doubt take the side of safety,' I might have had a serious accident, for I could not have stopped the train at the depot if I had passed the first switch at a speed of 50 miles an hour. Headlight of No Use. "The brightest headlight is of no avail to pierce the darkness and gloom which is hanging over the track and hiding all familiar objects from the view of engineer. "At times the fog becomes so dense that it is impossible to see the rails in front of the engine and there is a beautiful rainbow around the circle of the light which is thrown out from the headlight. "The whistle posts, standing a few feet from the end of the ties, can us ually be seen but the engineer will miss them occasionally and therefore it is absolutely necessary to keep his thoughts on his work during a heavy fog to avoid the danger of getting lost. It may appear strange to some of you but an engineer can get lost in such weather. When he thinks he has gone far enough to see the next post and it does not appear he is un easy until he passes an object which he does recognize. "He knows by the rumbling noise made by the engine in passing over a bridge that he has passed the whis tle post without seeing it, and is half a mile beyond. There is one object that will never deceive the engineer even though his eyes were closed, it is a curve. But there are many miles wi. .o.un. nitiiuut a curve ana he must depend on other objects." ROBS TRAIN IN CHICAGO A Lone Bandit Holds Up the "Stock yards Special." Chicago, Feb. 1. A bandit disguised by a handkerchief tied over the lower part of his face, robbed the safe of an express car here and escaped with a bag of currency thought to contain several thousand dollars. The car was attached to a local special express train of the Pennsylvania railroad. The bandit compelled the express messen ger to open the safe at the point of a revolver, une conductor of the train seized the thief but the man felled him with a blow of his fist. He es caped apparently unhurt, although the conductor recovered himself and fired two shots after him. The robbed train is known as the "Stockyards Special." It is used to carry money and valuable express mat ter between the Union stockyards and the down town district. The bandit evidently was familiar with the opera tion of the train. The loot obtained by the robber con sisted of two packages of railroad pay checks, amounting to $8,000, billed to i Des Moines. It is feared that other valuables were also taken, but this will not be finally known until accounts are checked over. BULL MOOSE OPEN CAMPAIGN OF 1916 Osear.K. Darts. The simultaneous opening' of head quarters at Washington and New Tork a few days ago marked the formal launching of the Bull Moose presidential campaign of 1916. Behind the opening of these headquarters 1 the announced purpose of the lead ers of the Progressive party to build an organization in every county in the United States, to the end that in the next general election the party will present candidates for every of fice to be voted for. from township supervisors to president. Oscar K. Davis, secretary of the Bull Moose national committee, in charge of the Washington headquarters. "Don't you think it would be a good idea for you to give away a few million dollars?" asked Mr. Cassius. "Yes," re plied Mr. Dustin Stax. "But it's a serious problem to give away a million dollars in a manner that will bring the money's worth in undying fame" Washington Star. 1 .f 1 MULROY'S BILL (Continued from Page One.) Leavenworth county becomes a law. The Gilman bill prohibits any busi ness or Commercial college to solicit business in this state or sell schol arships or tuition to any Kansan un less the school has the official O. K. of, the state superintendent. Gilman does not seek to legislate out of business the shorthand, type writing, bookkeeping and' penmanship schools, but he believes that some of the schools now doing business within the state are not giving value received to their student. Yet Gilman would not only place a ban on the fake bus iness colleges of the state, but he would prevent foreign business col leges entering the state to induce stu dents to buy courses or scholarships unless, that school has a bill of good health from the state superintendent's office. Another educational bill introduced in the house by the Leavenworth coun ey member provides for the creation of a standard school in the rural dis tricts. When a country school has at tained a certain standard in its edu cational facilities, the Gilman bill pro vides that the state shall furnish a door plate for that school certifying that it is a "standard Kansas school." There is also a superior school to be created by the Gilman act and it too shall have a metal door plate indicat ing its standard of efficiency. To each standard school, the state would ap propriate $50 annually while the super ior schools would receive an annual appropriation of $75 from the state. An appropriation of $40,000 is carried under the terms of Gilman's bill to carry out the provisions of his act. The mere fact that the senate judic iary committee gave his intermarriage bill a fatal stab when no one was look ing, has not discouraged Representa tive J. N. Herr in the. least and this morning he started a brand new meas ure on its road through the legislative mill. Herr managed to secure the ad vancement of his bill to second read, ing. Then he attempted to have the bill advanced to third reading, but Stone of Shawnee called a halt and the Barber county man's pet piece of legislature was compelled to take its regular course. When the bill gets to the senate for the second time, Herr will try to have the bill sent to a "not unfriendly" committee. Almost any of the 27 other senate committees will suit Herr rea sonably well, but he will dodge the senate lawyers. The Herr measure makes illegal the marriage of whites and blacks. Two years ago it was beat in the house, this year it pass ed the house only to be killed in the senate judiciary committee. Perjury in Kansas will be a really serious offense under provisions of a bill introduced in the house today by Representative Crippen. He would provide that perjury in a felony case shall subject the guilty party to a term in the penitentiary for a period of not less than seven years, while a similar offense in a civil action or misdemeanor case would be punish able by a term in prison of not to ex ceed seven years. Gilman of Leavenworth countv to day introduced a state election regis tration bill. The registration list would be made up from the vote cast in the August primaries. Persons failing to vote in the primaries would be disqualified for voting in the No vember electionunder the Gilman bill. WRESTLING TONIGHT. Hoffman and Charlesworth Meet In T. A. A. Rooms. Lewis Hoffman and Gene Charles worth will wrestle tonight at the To peka Athletic rooms at 219 Kansas ave nue. Hoffman hasn't appeared, except in exhibition work Thursday night since his match with Westmann here during the holidays. That match end ed a draw. There will be a couple of preliminary matches and Kid Cramer and Falkner will do a few rounds of boxing. Hoffman asked today that a chal lenge be issued for him to any 160 nound wrestler in Kansas. He has shown himself some mat artist and wants to take on all the fellows who think they know something about the toe hold game. SECRET OF LONGEVITY Scientist Discovers Why Egyptians Attained Great Age. Philadelphia, Feb. 1. It was common for the Egyptian noblemen in ancient times to live 110 years but it has re mained until now for the real secret of their longevity to be revealed by Prof. W. Max Muller, of the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. Muller says that pipyrus scrips discovered along the Nile, and hieroglyphic inscriptions on the walls of chambers in the pyra mids show that it was the custom of the noblemen of Egypt's palmy days to have their numerous wives tickle their feet and to drink 100 Jars of beer a day. 1 The professor adds that the joyous sensation of having his' feet tickled by a lot of wives may have been an im portant factor in lengthening a noble man's life. He fails to say what ef fect the consnmption of 100 Jars of beer a day may have had, perhaps be cause the- size of the Egyptian beer jar is not announced. SLEPT IN NEW GRAVE. Grave Digger Yells When Coffin Is Let Down on Him. Winsted, Conn., Feb. 1. A large number of colored persons present at the burial of Mrs. Alice Mary Murphy in the Burrville cemetery, received a fright that made some of them think the corpse had come to life again. Samuel Jackson, one of the colored grave diggers, was so tired after he got through digging and so affected by what he had taken to keep up his spirits that he fell into the grave and went to sleep. Day was passing when the coffin was lowered into its last resting place and when the weight of the box rested on Jackson he awoke with a yell that scared the mourners. He was released from the grave none the worse for his experience. STOCK SHIPPERS To Insure Youraehre Best Result Consign to CI AY, ROBINSON i& CO. Live Stock Commission Merchants, Stock Yards, Kan.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING- FEBRUARY 1. 1913- SIX TEEN BACK Kansas Baseball Team Has Long Schedule Planned. Coach Frank Will Hare Charge of Diamond Squad. Uwrence, Kan. Feb. 1. With six of last year's "K" men out in uniform and a squad of thirty recruits, who have signified their intention of turn ing out for the first practice in Rob inson Gymnasium next Monday, the prospects for a successful 1913 base ball season at tho University of Kan sas look pood, to say the least. Captain Ruzick and Walker, the two veterans of the pitching department, again will represent the Jayhawkers on the mound. Hicks, captain of the team last year, who was put out of the game on account of an injury earlv in the season, will be at his old place on first base. Wilson. Coolidge and Ward, the heaviest hitters on last reason's team, will be out again this year. Sommers, who has been barred for the last three seasons on the grounds of professionalism, has been reinstated to amateur standing and is the most promising of the new ma terial. He is considered one of the best catchers the university has seen for some years and is also a heavy hitter. Frank Will Coacli Team. Coach Frank will have charge of the squad this year, and, judging from his ability as a football and basketball mentor, the Jayhawker baseball team will certainly lack nothing in fighting and pep. The schedule which confronts the team is one of the longest in the his tory of the school, consisting of 18 games with the leading schools in the valley and two with the University of Hawaii. Tho University of Illinois wanted a game with the Jayhawkers February but as Manager Hamil ton thought that it might have to be Played on snow shoes, he didn't accept it, and a later date could not be ar ranged. The exact dates for the se ries with St. Mary's college have not been selected. The schedule to date is as follows: April 12 College of Emporia, at Kmporia. April 17 -IS University of Hawaii, at Lawrence. April 19 College of Emporia, at J,awrence. April 23-26 University of Missouri, st Lawrence. May 7-8 K. S. A. C. at Manhatan.

ONCE HAD BIG PAY, NOW DOWN AND OUT "Position wanted as manager or play er; formerly with St. Louis Americans und Milwauker; free agent- Addrcsd Jeorge R. Stone, Coleridge, Neb." Behind that little ad in the "Position Wanted" column of the current issud ot the Sporting News is an interesting story the story of a baseball star who threat ened to quit baseball unless he got a raie In salary: who did quit because his ae Mands were not met. and who is now looking for a job with any old team as either manager or player. George Stae Four years ago Stone was a star oui fie.der of the St. Louis Browns. He thought he wasn't getting enough salary. Hp was sent to Milwaukee. Still filled with the Idea that he wasn't getting suf lieient pay he threatened to retire to hi.-? farm unless he should be given S5.0O a year. His demands were not met, and he retired. otonc's rise was rapid. He first carre into prominence with, the St. Louis Krowns. During the season of 190S, wh-.ti St. Louis was fighting it out nip and tuck with Detroit, Cleveland and Chicagu for the pennant. Stone was at his best and many a game was chalked up to tnc right side of the ledger through his good t trk. For three seasons before that of IOCS Stone did great work in St. Louis. In lswa he took part in 164 games and earned a hatting average of .29i: the following yai he topped the batters with .33S, outl.itting such stars as Xig Clarke, then In his prime; Ty Cobb. Nap Lajoie and other sluggers of renown. The season of 1910 marked Stone's down fall as a major leaguer. He lost hts arm altogether and his batting eye grew poor. so he was shipped to Milwaukee. At the i nuae vl ins Ural, seasun mere ne retired to his farm, only to come out of his re tirement seeking any kind of a baseball position. There will be great surprise in the base ball world if Stone "comes back." NORMALS SWAMP CAMPBELL. Teachers Pile Up Big Score Against Holton live. Emporia. Kan., Feb. 1. The Kan sas State Normal swamped Campbell college under a score of 60 to 24 in a slow game of basketball on the lo cal course.

To improve the speed of his players on the base lines, ihof. no inh Manairpr Rtnvall Tina cut out for himself in 1913. Its no small task, either, for year after year the Brownies have been lamen tably weak as base runners. Ccarse StovalJ. Stovall has some pretty good ma terial to work with for instance, Shotton, Williams and Compton, who are speed merchants of high degree, and Mike Balenti, from whom the fans expect much as a sprinter. Last season the Detroit Tigers pil fered no fewer than 275 bases, as com pared with 176 by the Browns. Sto vall says the difference won't be any thing like that in 1913. He has in structed his fleet footed ones to take longer choiices next season, and the St. Louis fans are confident the re sult will be pleasing to their pride. SALINA KEEPS CLUB.

In an address to the third annual country life conference. .Professor McKeever argued that the condition of the farmer is in need of spiritual, rather than material im provement. The development of a well poised, self reliant and happy personality in iarm dweller is the prob lem, he said. "I have known the materials of wealth to be heaped up around a farm house which contain ed a sad and disappointed wife and rrom which the sons had fled without even a grammar school education. "The idea of the dignity of labor must be fostered, but the material wealth of the individual is not the aim. I am opposed to the giving of individual prizes, for instance, for corn raising and such things. I be lieve in 'team work' in pitting com munity against community, rather than serving out the prizes to a few fortunate individuals." GARDEN CITY IS HAPPY. Hears of New Railroads That Are to Come Soon. Garden City, Kan.. Feb. 1. Garden City is just now. elated over the re port that the Wichita Falls railroad is headed towards this city. In a private .tter from one of tn promoters of this road to a local man, this state ment is made: "We shall soon be ready to talk business with Garden City." Going north from hero they can use the grade made a few years ago for the electric road that was to run from here to Scott, and from Scott they will probably use the Scott Northern road to Winona, connecting with tho Lnion Pacific at that place. In addition to this rumor comes the news that an additional force of men has been put to work on the Jetmore an. where but one man has been grading a road for a number of years. This means taht the Santa Fe is to extend the Jetmore line to Garden City, and connect with the main line. As the Santa Fe already owns the grade south through Finney county made by the Garden City, Oulf Northern they will likely build south to Santana and connect with the Col mor cutoff.

Bottom: Sam McCaU's home hi Wil cox County, A la. BY. ROBERT F. WILSON Washington, Feb. 1. In Sam McCall. an aged illiterate ex-slave cultivating a two-acre farm on the side of a hill in Wilcox county., Ala., scientists of the department of agriculture believe they have found the best example on which to base the positive announce ment that mankind will never face a food famine due to the exhaustion of tire elements of fertility in the earth's soil. That as long as there is any earth and water left, what there is will bring forth in abundance. According to the old teachings of orthodox agriculture, the soil is like a bank, containing a limited quanti ty of treasure, in the shape of plant food; that even the .most careful farming cannot put back into the soil quite all that it takea out, and conse quently the entire earth will some day become sterile and barren. This theory, once held by scientists, is still accepted by many farmers. Sam Has Different Theory. Not by Sam McCall, however. For a half century Sam has been assidu ously cultivating a farm of two acres. When he bought the land after he was emancipated, it was as poor land as could be found in the United States. Successive cropping before the war so exhausted its fertility that it -was abndoned. Then the rains eroded the topping of loam and wash ed it down the hill Into the stream. When Sam bought it for 50 cents an acre, it was bare even of grass and weeds. It was the sort of soil south erners say "will not sprout peas." No soil expert would hesitate to say that ?uch soil had been completely ex hausted of the elements of plant food. Now what did Sam McCall do with this sort of land? In 1908 the two acres produced 140 bushels of oats. BO bushels of corn (on one acre and four bales of cotton. The southern average 'for these crops (when land is devoted exclusively to them) is 20 bushels of oats. 13 bushels of corn and 1-3 of a bale of cotton to the acre. The McCall yields, carefully verified in a bulletin just published by CLUB NOTES. Western Sorosis club will have its annual banquet the evening of Feb ruary 12. This banquet is given yearly on Lincoln's birthday, and at this year's celebration, each member may invite two guests. Mrs. F. W. Watson, the treasurer of the club, should be no tified as soon as possible the names of the guests. Preparations are being completed for the art exhibit to be given in To peka the latter part of February un der the auspices of the Topeka Feder ation of Women. The art department of the federation is directly in charge of the arrangements, and have receiv ed a list of the pictures that will be shown. The exhibit will be brought to Topeka from Lawrence, where it is sent from the east, and is under the management there of the art depart ment of the state university. The Thursday Study club met Thurs day afternoon with Mtes Lovelia Hilty at the home of her sister, Mrs. C. E. Heer. on Clay street. Papers on the lesson were read by Mrs. Ross.- Mrs. It. L.

Yet the ex-slave brought his worth less land to this degree of fertility practically without the use of a pound of fertilizer. Sam's method was simple. He filled the soil of his two acres with vege table matter (humus.) At first he did this by hauling leaves from the woods and plowing them under. Then when the land began to produce crops, he plowed under the straw of his oats and the stalks of his corn and cotton. Spillman's Opinion. In the opinion of Prof. W. J. Spill man, of the department of agriculture one of the foremost agriculture econ omists in the world, the case of Sam McCall and the cases of other farmers who have used the same method of farming with startling results prove the validity of a discovery which will be revolutionary in agriculture. The theory is now held by Milton Whitney, chief of the United State bureau of soil, and his assistant Frank K. Cam eron, that each soil particle is com posed largely of potash and phos phorus, two of the principal- elements of plant food. According to their theory a film of the surface of each soil particle each year is dissolved, liberating the potash and phosphate. This theory is held against the great body of scientists, who liken each soil will have charge of the department of current events, and Mrs. Robert Steele will have an address on "The New South." The West Side Forestry club, which has been taking its annual vacation, met for the first time in the new year Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. M. A. Low. The honorary mem bers were hostesses, and included Mrs. Low, Mrs. Ward Burlingame. Mrs. A. J. Kelley. Mrs. F. Montgomery and Mrs. George Huron. The president, Mrs. Harry Forbes, presided. The pro gram was a combined Kansas Day and musical entertainment. Mrs. Low read a paper on Alfalfa. Mrs. Burlingame spoke on events in Kansas history, and the music was furnished by Mrs-. Al bert T. Reid, whose numbers included the Kansas Song, and by Miss Helen Hogeboom and Miss Eleanor Logan. The executive board of the State Federation held a meeting Thursday at Y. W. C. A. and endorsed some of the bills before the legislature and voted to support Dr. Crumbine of the state board of health. They decided that the next meeting of the board should be held in Chanute. The State Equal Suffrage associa tion met Thursday morning at the Y. W. C. A. and discussed legislation of the present session. They en dorsed the work of Dr. Crumbine and voted to oppose the bill changing the control and membership of the board of health. They also endorsed the bill relating to the whit- slave traf fic, and discussed various measures for the improvements of conditions of working women and relating to child labor. The Ohio club will meet Monday night, February 3. at 8 o'clock with Mrs. H. W. Bomgardner, 1295 Mul vane street. All former Ohio people are invited. There will be a program, and refreshments will be served. HESEESliGLOSS. Curtailment of Experiment Appro priation Alarms Forester. Washington, Feb. 1. Industrial loss will result if congress finally cur tails the work of the wood products experiment section of the forest ser vice, in the opinion of Chief Forester Graves. In the agricultural appro priation bill the amount provided for this -work is cut from $170,000 to $100,000. In explaining the features of the branch of the forest service. Mr. Graves declares that multitudinous uses of lumber has shown how they could secure a maximum of service and durability for a minimum of ma terial. In experiments to determine the best methods of utilizing and con serving timber, in discovering the best methods of using the by-products and in studying hundreds of allied ques tions. Mr. Graves contends that this division of the forest service has been paying for itself many times over. UNCLE SAM IS TAKING NOTICE particle to a sponge, soaked to the center with the moisture of the soil, i The latter group of scientists believe that plants eventually suck from each j soil particle all it contains of plant food, leaving a sterile shell of indis-1 soluble mineral matter. Whitney and Cameron believe that the soil IS plant food .and as long as any soil is' left it is continually liberating potash ana phosphate by dissolution. Microbes a Big Help. Thus the only other element needed to feed the plant is nitrogen. The pre- vailing theory is that nitrogen exists in the soil and is gradually exhausted by the plants. Prof. Spillman says that Sam McCall put the nitrogen in his soil when he plowed in the humus. Microscopic bacteria live in decaying vegetable matter in the soil, and these bacteria feed largely upon nitrogen in the air ventilating down through the j soil, and thus supply nitrogen to the soil when they die. The air is four fifths nitrogen. Thus, according to Prof. Spillman, socalled "worn-out" soil is soil which contains no humus. The bacteria are continually eating humus and they will cause it to disappear altogether unless fresh supplies are put into the ground by the farmer. The example of Sam McCall shows as long as man has earth and air he can continue to grow food by apply ing intelligence to cultivation. EEL ATTACKS SWIMMER 'Duke" Kahanamoku Nearly Drowns j Near Honolulu. New York, Feb. 1. "Duke" Kahan amouku, the world's champion short distance swimmer, had a narrow es cape in a fight with an eel at a re sort near Honolulu, according to re ports of the odd occurrence received in special cable advices here. He was practicing in preparation for the Australian swimming championship in company with a number of other swimmers when he suddenly seemed to be dragged under the water in a furious struggle. While other swimmers were hasten ing to him with their powerful over hand stroke, Kahanamoku sank from sight. His friends dived, brought him up and carried him ashore almost un conscious. A large eel which he had choked to death had attacked him, and in the struggle the swimmer suf fered a slight injury to the index fin ger of his right hand. It is reported doubtful whether the champion will be able to compete in the Australian events for which he was practicing.

IS AN EDITOR AND A LAWYER His Address at the Bar Banquet a Big Hit. He Takes a Deserved Fall Out of Unjust Criticism. One of the decided hits at the an nual banquet of the State Bar asso ciation was the response of R. P. Mc Colloch, of Anthony, to the toast, "The Law and the Press." Mr. Mc Colloch was active in the practice of law in Kansas for twenty-five years. Of late years, while hot giving up the law entirely, he has devoted most of his attentions to newspaper work, and is the owner and editor of the An thony Bulletin, one of the represen tative weekly newspapers of the state. His personal experiences and obser vations,, therefore, have certainly fit ted him to handle such a subject as "The Law and the Press" in a most interesting and effective manner. And that is just what he did in Topeka the other night. His address follows: "There are, in Kansas, a number of gentlemen who, perforce, must liver The high cost of living has driven them to the leading 6f dual lives, a sort of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ex istence. While these gentlemen are in the mood to be good they publish newspapers which are moral guides. When they are seized with the over mastering passion to be bad they break back into the practice of law. "Belonging to this body of our citi zenship, it is a pleasure to say a word of the law and the press. Twenty-five years of the practice in this state should give me come idea of the law. as she is practiced in Kansas.' And eeveral years in the newspaper busi ness, and red ink at the bank, should qualify me to speak of the joy of run ning a country newspaper. Editors Mnst Be Honest. "There is some difference between those of the law and those of the press. Editors must be honest. A discriminating observer puts it this way. I quote from a recent issue of a legal publication, 'A lawyer in a courtroom may call a man a liar, a scoundrel, villain an dthief and no one makes complaint when court ad journs. If a newspaper makes such a reflection on a man's character there is a libel suit or a dead editor. This is owing to the fact that people believe what an editor says.' "I have the profoundest respect for the law and the greatest respect for the bar of Kansas. And I am partic ularly proud of the bar of my own county. The admiration I have for it has been intensified by an incident occurring in our beautiful little city within a recent time. A few years ago the people of my county voted a new court house. When, for the new building, there came the matter of the court room it was determined to have something that was right. And it is right. In the selection of a prop er ceiling for that room there were certain adornments provided which in the language of the southwest are called 'dudads.' By some inadver tence, I think that the legal term, the ceiling chosen was originally in tended for a music hall and It is adorned with large harp shaped in struments called by musicians, lyres. A visitor in our town was being shown through the court house, and came to the court room. He looked upon the furniture and fixtures, the handsome windows and the brass spittoons, then he cast his eyes to the ceiling. Sud denly he started back and his face went white as he grasped the arm of his companion and said: This Is the strangest court room I was ever in, had you noticed that the lyres are on the ceiling when in other court rooms they are on the floor.' Compensations Differ. 'A difference between the professions that should be noted is that of comnen. sation. ine lawyer speaks to a iurv and gets praise, the editor speaks to the people and gets cussed. And then take the matter of the ultimate fee. A newspaper man gets one dollar for his newspaper, which is fifty cents too little, while the lawyer gets ten dollars for any five dollar case. Not only so, but the dollar of the editor represents thd ."I.... 1 r- .l I I 1 o.s me suuscrioer is nuifa l ii.-t.lv tr. o the time is out. The lawyer's ten dol- lar fee is hut the entering wedge.

The summary of the things accom plished by the Topeka traffic bureau in January is gratifying to the mem bers. The Commercial Club Bulletin makes the following, statement con cerning the recent work of the bureau. The proposed advance in the rate on butter and eggs shipped from Topeka to Memphis destined to points in south east territory has been suspended by the interstate commerce commission until the first day of May, 1913 this suspension alone, means a saving of two or three thousand dollars for the Toipeka shippers .on business forward ed In the interval between January 1st and May, but it is confidently felt that the advanced basis will not be per mitted to become effective and that the suspension in that way will be per manent The commission has also been re quested by the bureau to suspend the proposed cancellation by the carriers of the rule permitting the movement of less than carload shipments of per ishable freight under refrigeration without extra charge. Should this item be cancelled it would mean the additional payment of several thou sand dollars yearly by the Topeka shippers. The brief In the banana- case has been prepared and copies forwarded to the interstate commerce commission and the carriers parties to the com plaint oral argument has also been requested. A decision has been rendered by the public utilities commission in the mat ter of proper classification of road drags moving within the state of Kan sas and the basis contended for by the bureau has been sustained and certifi cate issued authorizing carriers to re duce the charges on past shipments to association in Topeka this week are W.

DEFECTIVE FLUE. It Caused 500 lire at 1023 Van Uuren Street. FIRST WRECK IN YEARS lit Which People Are Killed on Queensland Railway. Carnes, Queensland, Feb. 1. Six people -were killed and five probably fatally injured today when the south bound Brisbane express ran into the wreckage of a cattle train. Passen gers were pinioned beneath debris and last reports said hundreds of people I were working to free them. Many were scalded by steam.1' The cattle train had "been derailed and 500 head of cattle killed.

Mrs. Ewin keeps boarders, and tl:c worst part of the affair, from ner stand point, is that the boarders. as a result of the fire, looked for another place to pro cure their meals. supply as high as its present standard. Dr. Babb declares that 1913 has start ed in a decidedly auspicious manner, that the milk of every dairyman is in class 1, except the produce of Rich ard Jones, which is list in class II. The average per cent of butter fat is 4.11. the Maxwell milk bureau having the largest per cent, and Custenborder the least. Complaints have been received from delivery men as well as consumers. Patrons report that pasteurized milk fails to show a cream line, and dairy men object to housewives' using bot tles for other purposes than holding milk, directly at variance with the city ordinance. "The question of cleanliness is of prime importance," said Dr. Babb to day, "and the best way to have clean milk is not to have it dirty in the first place. Clean cows and a covered milk pail do more than any other com bination in effecting this desirable re sult. The next thing is to remove as soon as possible whatever small amount 1 of dirt does fall into the pail. This can best be done by filtering through cotton. "The average percentage of butter fat in Topeka's milk supply is gratify ing, considering that the law requires but 3.25 per cent. Nevertheless, it must be clearly understood that a high score in butter fat cannot offset the presence of the .least bit of visible dirt, which usually consists of barnyard filth.

There are no. bad after effects, as there are with most medicines used for this. purpose, for my Dentozone is harmless as" water. When the people of Topeka and vicinity begin to realize what the discovery really means to them there will be no more dread of dental operations. Statistics show that only one-fourth of the people in need "of dental work are going to the dentist, and the cause of the neglect is because of the dread of pain.

From now on the ban is placed upon "shooting" dice for cigars or money, notice hav ing been served on the local cigar stands and drug stores today to dis continue the practice of permitting patrons to shake dice by L. L. K'ene, sheriff. The move is the first radical step taken by Sheriff Kiene. He has plain ly indicated in his notices today that if this warning is not taken arrests will follow immediately, and the as sumption is that the dice boxes will be filed away, and the fascinating pas time of throwing them for cigars or "chips" as practiced at nearly every cigar store and pool room in the city, will be discontinued. Sheriff Kiene assumes that the pres ent practice is being allowed on the theory that it is not illegal. He has been advised by County Attorney Wil liam 15 Atchison, however, that the practice is in violation of the Kansas anti-gambling laws. Therefore he says he will put a stop to it. The notice served today. wTiieh tells its own story Is as follows: "I am advised by the county attor ney that it is clearly a violation of the anti-gambling laws of the state of Kansas to 'shake dice for cigars or money. I understand that nearly all the cigar stands where 'dice shaking' is practiced are doing so under the assumption that it is not illegal, and I therefore give you this notice that you may discontinue the practice at once, and thus avoid the necessity of the adoption of legal measures.

Tailored models of voile, linen, silk and velveteen have taken the place of the much used and abused lingerie waist, now practically a memory only. Lace when used at all is usually com bined with silk or some other of tha before mentioned materials and used as applied bands, vests, collars, etc. Voile lends Itself so admirably to tucked and pleated models that It easily holds the lead in separate blouse materials. It possesses also the much desired attribute of washing without injury. The model of today is a sample of the style of blouse used for plain tailored suits. Made of white washable voile is this and tucked finely on front and sleeves which reach to the hands. There is a detachable Robespierre col lar of lace and satin bow at the neck. For this lace collar similar shapes of black or white satin would be stylish substitutes. Card of Thank.

The dainty little French musical comedy nas oeen appiauaea Dy the press in every city where it has played. Tonight George Sidney appears at the Grand in "Busy Izzy." The Hebrew is not caricatured in the play, but por trayed as he is found in every day life. iWheu the play was in St Louis several ministers were asked to attend the per formance and write their views upon Mr. Sidney's impersonation. A number of distinguished divines, representing a. variety of religious convictions, readily responded. most of them bringing their wives at the manager's request. They were furnished private boxes and at the end of the second act were conducted behind the curtain. wnu.ii.an Jt.WJti; J P"ff- fs Wf i '-III "ssi k-A y ,i I r If TWifi .'TT'J Ik fjf ih II 1 'era Alleu and Templar Saxc in th e "Countess Coquette" at the Grand 1-Vbruary 4. tbe combination offers an evening of keen enjoyment was attested by the many encores given the singers and the applause that repeatedly punctu ated the fun.

Most of them had probably never at tended a theatrical performance be fore, and not one of them had ever been behind the scenes. They cw the stage hands scurrying about "striking" a scene. They saw the actors and ac tresses hurrying to their dressing rooms to make ready for the next act: the property man and his assistants liustling off the big drygoods store: set with the equipments, etc., and replac ing it with the big hotel scene, and the numerous other incidents, what seems to the outsider a state of inex tricable confusion, but which brings the stage with quickness and regular ity, into orderly and artistic outlines. The gentlemen and their ".ives were introduced to Mr. Sidney and engaged in a few moment's chat, eyeing mean while with obvious curiosity, his pic turesque make-up. The following review, copied from the Kansas City Post describes the "'Countess Coquette," which appears at the Grand February 4 "The Coun tess Coquette." advertised as a "Pari sian Vaudeville," began a week's en gagement at the Willis Wood last evening before a large audience. In plain English the entertainment is a French farce set to music, and that one's sense of the proprieties will be shocked by a visit to the "Countess." The plot is clever, the complications genuinely funny, the dialogue witty and the music, for the most part, bright and catchy. Frederick Huxtable is being fea tured this season in what is generally believed to be one of the best plays of its kind, "Billy the Kid." Little did the feared and famous outlaw think that some day there would be a melodramatic play written about some of his misdeeds. But there has been, for the authors of "Billy the Kid" have taken some of the incidents in the life of the outlaw and have woven them into a play which lias proved to be one of the most popular melodramas ever written by an Amer ican author. The beautiful Kitty Gordon, whose loveliness is world famed, has often been asked the recipe for keeping beauty after you have it. The Eng lish prima donna, who comes to the Grand on February 1 5 in Victor Her bert's masterpiece, "The Enchantress," holds that worry is one of the chief causes of lines and wrinkles. "It is said that beauty is only skin deep." declared Miss Gordon, in a recent in terview, "but even if this is the case the skin is open to influences from A Human Match Factory The body contains phosphorus sufficient to make 483.000 matches. Phos phorus is one of fourteen elements composing the body divided among bones, flesh, nervous system and other organs. The perfect health of body requires a perfect balance of the elements. These elements come from the food we eat the stomach extracts and distributes them. But if stomach is deranged the balance of health is destroyed and the blood does not carry the proper elements to the different organs, and there is blood trouble nerve trouble heart trouble. Pain is the hungry cry of starved organs. Put the liver, stomach and organs of digestion and nutri tion into a condition of health. That is just what is done by DR.

Worry will mar the most velvet flush of youth, and the one sure way to keep the envied tran quillity of a flower is by being at peace wit hthe world. Women should remember that it is worry that brings lines and wrinkles to the most perfect face." The modernized version of "The Bohemian Girl" that is now being pre sented with immense success by the Aborn Opera company is said to be by far the most pretentious and ex travagant production ever given to Balfe's greatest work. The program at the Xovelty will open with the Beeches, novelty ring act, to be followed by Gypsy. Wilson, singing comedienne, who styles herself "The Girl in the Swim." Gilroy and Coriell, late of Gilroy, Haynes and Montgomery, appear in a sketch entitled "FlOHting." The bill closes with Rapoli, a juggler, and an Essanay film. The management declares the program to be an exceptionally strong one. The myriad minded Shakespeare pos sessed a wonderful gift of prophecy. His mind conjured up visions of inventions that did not materialize until three cen turies after his death; but even he would be astounded if he could see how truly "All the World's a Stage" at Lyman II Howe's Travel Festival which conies to the Grand for three days, beginning Feb ruary 20. Even the penetrating vision of tbe poet-prophet could not have conceived how amazingly true to life Mr. Howe's motion cameras depict human life, events and activities and perpetuates them on the screen. The announcement that many of the scenes on the new program will be presented in the gorgeous magnificence of nature's colors, means that the legion of local admirers of Mr. Howe's attrac tion may expect a program that will eclipse any he has yet presented here. The perfect reproduction of natural colors simultaneously with form and movement implies really more than imagination can conceive. It makes Mr. Howe's exhibition a still more wondrous counterpart of nature than it has been hitherto. Margaret 'Anglin, now playing in Green Stockings, announces end of her season on Feb. 1.

If you have even a passing acquaintance with the "mo'vies" you certainly know him; and knowing him. you are sure there couldn't possibly be a funnier man in existence than he. It has been said of John Bunny that his face is his fortune. You can't help laughing when you look at it. He never has to "make up" because nothing could add to his appearance. For three years now Bunny has been with the Vitagraph company. During that time he has gained world wide fame and his face is familiar to people in every civilized country for moving pictures have gone wher ever civilization has gone. In France, Bunny is known as Monsieur Cinema, In Germany he is hailed everywhere as Herr Kintep.

One night in Belfast I left my hotel to take a little stroll about the town. Hardly had I gone a block from the hotel when I ran into threee young Irish girls. One of them let out an ear-piercing shriek. 'Holy Saint Patrick!' she cried: 'It's the man in the picthures!" "When I visited the Giant's Cause- j way I climbed' over rooks that had. barred many younger and more ac- tive men. I was anxious to see ev erything and I attempted to reach one of the most inaccessible spots which was noted for the fine view to be ob tained there.

The weather s fine. "Out in Whitechapel I was surround ed by crowds of cockneys every time I made my appearance. One afternoon one of them pushed her way through a crowd of four or five hundred to get a good look at me. 'My word,' she said. 'It's a real man.' After gazing at me for several seconds she added: 'Mr. Bunny, how's your homely wife?' Bunny lives in Brooklyn. He used to be on the musical comedy stage, but he says he likes playing with the "movies" much better. sible, and held accountable for delays in performing it that are not in any way her fault. With every nerve wracked, with her temper tried by tones that are exact ing, imperious, impudent and quarrel some, she is expected to amiably ex plain every delay, and to remember through an intervention of 50-odd calls who called whom an hour ago. "She must know when Jones calls 4504 that he really meant 4506, and that when the number he asks for is engaged she must give it to him when it isn't. She must realize that the man who has taken down the receiver is in a hurry. His business is import ant; every man knows that. For every man knows that when HE goes to the telephone it really is important, though his obje be nothing more than an in quiry at what hour the baby cut its tooth. "This training in memory, in patience and in long suffering is needed by every wife. And it has become second nature with every telephone girl who has held her position as long as six months. She has become so trained she will make no sharp reply when complaint 5 made that dinner is not ready or isn't cooked to suit the pam pered masculine taste. She Can Keep Secrets. "Then, again, her training as a re pository of secrets is invaluable. She doesn't tell all she knows, and the wife who doesn't tell her husband all she knows retains his interest longer and avoids telling him much that would annoy.

Dra ma U- Mirror 4- t 7. 1 J iWV .jo. HfJ &i Miss Minnie M. Koescli. (By Frances I Garside.) When a girl is in love her happiness is so complete there seems nothing left to ask for, and she stops saying her prayers. But after she has been married a few weeks she begins again, and the burden of her petition is a prayer for patience. She has found that a sweet face, a ready wit, an understanding sympathy, a charm or two. may win a husband, bu' that it requires patience to keep him. This being true, and no wife will deny it, doesn't it follow that the girl who will make the best wife is th- one whose business calling develops pa tience? The girl behind the counter who hauls down all her stock for a woman who has no intention of buying; the waitress in a restaurant who is the buffer between an incompetent cook and an exacting appetite; the dress maker who is paid for the impossible task of making a Venus out of a nat ural born scarecrow; the stenographer to whom a day's accumulation of pot hooks looks like the inscriptions on an Kgyptian tomb: the woman in any and every calling, feels that she, and she alone, really knows what patience is. But here is one who contends that in comparison with her education the pa tience required for other callings is as an undersized mole hill to an over grown mountain. She is Miss Minnie Maud Roesch, and she speaks for that angel at the other end of the line whom we call with emotion varying from ten derness to disrespect "the telephone girl." An Angel? Why, of Course. All angel? Of course, for who but an angel would take the abuse a tele phone girl gets and speak in the sweet est voice ever heard in reply? Miss Roesch. who ha9 had a long ex perience in placating the impatient and smoothing down the feathers on the back of an irritable public, speaks for the thousands of girls who work some where up in a hole in the wall, whom we never see, never know, and yet who are the custodians of all our secrets. "If there is any position requiring patience, and a serene acceptance of the most unjust and most hasty Judg ment, it is that occupied by the girl at the switchboard. She is called upon every hour of the day to do the inipos- feminine discretion and patience in the desert. "The training of the telephone girl qualifies r to make the best sort of a partner in business or in the closer relationship of husband and wife. The man who is w ise enough to appreciate these qualities will not go amiss when he goes wife-seeking if he selects for nis partner a leiepnone gin. "The Central at the office becomes the Central of his home one who soothes the impatient, who hears every complaint and who is the clearing house for every wrong." SAFETYLETS.

WRITING TELEGRAPH. ew Macliine Has Capacity of 40,000 Words an Hour. New York, Feb. 1. A point of light reflected from a small mirror vibrated by two telephone diaphragms in audi a way as to write legible words on a strip of photographic paper at .the. re markable speed of 40,000 words an .hour is the wonderful feature of the Pollak -Virag telegraph instrument' that re ceived its first pflblic demonstration 1n this country today in the .Vanderbilt hotel. The value of the instrument lies in its capacity to save both time and telegraph-wires. It has already been adopted by the French government and is at present in operation between Paris, Nice and Boulogne in the Ser vice of a French newspaper. The ap paratus is the joint invention of two Hungarians, Antoine Pollak and Joseph Virag, the latter dying on the day af ter the instrument was perfected. The transmitter is composed of a small electric motor which drives a drum around which are six circles of metal. Pressing on this is another drum and a steel brush. The drums revolve at a rapid speed which can be regulated, and between them a strip of perforated paper is drawn. Wher ever the brushes pass over a perfora tion, contact is made with one of the metal rings and electric current is sent along the line. The paTer is perforated by means of a separate instrument operated by a keyboard similar to a typewriter, a dif ferent set of combinations representing every letter. It takes about 20 opera tors to turn out sufficient perforated paper to keep the instrument running full speed. The receiver is composed of two tele phones which have a wire soldered onto their diaphragms connected to three springs. A small mirror mounted on a thin steel back is held on the springf by means of magnets. A shielded elec tric lamp projects a point of light through a lens upon the mirror. The different strengths of current sent out from the six rings on the transmitter cause the diaphragms to vibrate the i mirror in such a manner that perfect letters like ordinary handwriting are produced. The light falls on a atrip of sensitized paper which is running forward with the machine. The paper then passes through developing and fixing tanks and is immediately ready for delivery. The advantage of the machine over all other high speed telegraphic instru ments is that the receiver need not be in synchronism with the transmitter. Mr. Pollak and his assistants will give demonstrations here for two months, after which they will leave" for England to demonstrate before the British government.

Drink no liquors at meals, or for an hour before or after meals. Avoid starches and sugars. Cut out white bread and potatoes. Eat no butter. Walk at least four miles a day. Weigh yourself every day. If you must drink, at least avoid beer From the Brooklyn Eagle.1 The newest organization in Wash ington is (the Congressional Anti-Eat society. It is needless to say that it took an insurgent to establish it. No standpatter would ever think of at tacking the established custom of eat ing. liepresentative Victor Murdock of Kansas is the inventor, and founder of the Anti-Eat society. Mr. Murdock has insurged against a whole lot of things since he has been in congress and now he has insurged against the consumption of food. Already there are as number of active members of this new organiza tion. It has no officers, but-everybody tacitly recognizes Murdock as its guide and prophet. Likewise, he is a -first class exhibit, illustrating what the anti-eat movement can accomplish. At the last session of congress the Kansas insurgent assumed the roly poly proportions of a young balloon. Despite the fact that his had been a career of strenuous protest, against congressional conditions in general, Murdock was rapidly becoming a; fat man. He seemed to thrive on turmoil and trouble. Flesh had been creeping upon him so stealthily that he did not realize his bulk until one day. a friend who saw .him hastening toward the capitol, to be present at a rollcall in the house, remarked that he-waddled like Sereno Payne. Ho Learns He Waddles. "You mean I walk, not waddle," said Murdock, severely. "X mean waddle," said his friend, emphatically. Mr. Murdock entered the house, thinking more about this blunt accu sation than he did about the rollcall. He could not get-1tout of his head. Finally he took the matter so much to heart that he-dropped a cent in a weighing machine and watched the hand on the dial creep steadily ,around until it reached' the figure 231.' r"Two i hundred -and thirty-one pounds!" whispered Mr. Murdock to himself in an awed voice. Then he set his lips grimly and walked away, deeply thoughtful. When the present session of con gress opened a well groomed young man, whose cutaway coat fell straight and smooth, without a single trans verse wrinkle, entered the hall of the house and seated himself in the chair reserved for Victor Murdock. His skin was clear, his eye bright and he "wore an air of jauntiness. For some moments nobody recognized him. Then one by one it suddenly dawned on his fellow members that a new Murdock had appeared on the scene. They crowded around him and in spected him with admiration and envy. Joins Anti-Fat Club. "For heaven's sake, tell us the recipe, Victor," they said in chorus. "Join my Anti-Eat society, promise to obey the rules and I'll give you the best tip that was ever handed to a fat man," replied Murdock. Whereupon the Kansan proceeded to expound his doctrine of how to get thin. Some of the members shook their, heads sadly When they learned that self denial was the principal re quirement, but others at heart jealous of the amazing transformation in Mur dock, set their jaws and made a sol emn resolve to follow in his footsteps. From a top weight of 231 pounds Murdock has descended to 180. Fifty one pounds of flesh had disappeared from his person .and he felt better than eyer before in his life. Likewise, he spent infinitely less money on food. It is true that none of his old clothes would fit him. but he did not be grudge the extra expense of getting ari entirely new wardrobe. This was a staggering program for some of the recruits to the Anti-Eat society, but. they are carrying it out resolutely. Mr. Murdock's single meal is-eaten each day at 6:30 o'clock in the evening. He works all day with out breakfast or lunch. He admits that at about 4 'o'clock In the after noon the pangs of hunger frequently become almost agonizing, but when he feels the temptation to yield he sim ply surveys his new figure, remem bers the tause of it and steels himself anew, v i "One of the most Satisfactory things about my scheme,"' say, Mr. Murdock, "in addition to the joy of losing fifty pounds that I did not want, is the fact that when I do eat. everything tastes so much better than- it hsed to. It is really surprising to discover how the sense of taste becomes sharpened when a man ceases to be a heavy eater. This also applies to the sense of smell. I don't. eat nearly so much as" I once did, but' everything tastes a hundred -times better." HE GETS STAMP MONEY Former American Attache at Rome Given $7.45 Claimed. Washington, Feb. 1.

Chicago, Feb. 1. President Ban Johnson of the American League, last night mailed to William Dineen, the umpire, a check for $200 as winner of the prize offered last spring for the umpire who could show the least time averages for games during the season. It was not generally known that John son had made such an offer until he announced the award. Dineen umpired in 159 games, the average time of the contests being 1:55. Fronk O'Laughlin, who offi ciated in 142 games, was second with a time average of 1:57. The remain ing six umpires had exactly the same average, their time being 1:58. i The Wavs 'anrt means committee of the senate has .'journeyed ,to Lawrence today for the purpose, of measuring Mt. j Oread for a' new suit.

Senator Lambertson had the rules on his side of the fence, and as no one was thoughtful enough to use chloro form or a sand bag, he got away with it, and it looks like the poor working man will be permitted to foregather in the state capitol next Monday and do what ever he wants to do.

The Fodid and Circnmstance Many Well Known Jayhawkers Were in Attendance. Cut Short, Too. THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING-FEBRUARY 1, 1913- W&shinirton. Feb. 1. Advices from Kansas are that hundreds of Demo crats throughout the state are plan ning to come to Washington to see wit a wii.nn inaugurated as present -on March 4. From all ac counts more Sunflower statesmen and politicians will come here for this in duration than ever before in the history of the state's politics. Those who attend the inaugural i m,it necessarily come to the national capital fortified with a fat purse. This is tne auv' Umers here who know well u i wiles and ways of the hotels, cafes and boarding houses on such occasions to separate the visitor from all that he has in his jeans. Ordinarily, Wash ington is by far the most expensive city to live in in the country, but when a president is inaugurated prices of food and lodging are shot to the sky It is a general "holdup all around. Even hundreds of private houses are turned into dormitores and the price for a place to sleep is con sidered extortionate considering the conveniences and liberties offered If the weather is reasonably good In Washington on March 4, the in augural committee confidently antici pates the presence of something like 100,000 visitors on inauguration day. Jf such a crowd comes to the city on that day it will surpass any gathering here in twenty years. The crowds advertised to come here on occasions of the Inauguration of Cleveland, McKinley. Roosevelt and Taft were something like a hundred thousand, but the attendance upon neither of these occasions ever ex ceeded 25,000 people. Owing to 'the bad weather in Washington four years ago not more than 10,000 visitors at tended the inaugural ceremonies. Established a Press Bureau. As usual the inaugural committee has established a press bureau which Is sending out daily articles to 800 newspapers of the county telling of the extraordinary attractions of the coming inauguration and how cheap one can come to Washington and live for a few days during the period of the ceremonies. Since President-elect Wilson put his stamp of disapproval on the holding of an inaugural ball or a public re ception either at the capitol or White House, the people of the states who desire to come here want to know just what they can see and enjoy for the expenses they will be put to. This is easy enough told. According I to Mr. Wilson's express request, here i Is the program for March 4: The president-elect will take quar ters at the Shoreham hotel upon his arrival in Washington. It is his in tention, -if the weather permits, to j walk down the center of Pennsylvania 1 avenue to the capitol with President j Taft; if the weather is bad, an open carriage will be used. The oath of I office will be taken in front of the capitol, weather permitting; otherwise tihs ceremony will take place in the senate chamber. After this the presi- dent and former president will jour- ney to the White House where, in I front, they will view the inaugural pa- rade from the presidential grand- I stand. At night, weather permitting, there will be fireworks on the White i House lot near Washington's monu ment. This is the extent of the in augural program. It will all occur within one day and night. The Business Men of Washington. The business men of Washington have never subscribed more than $50,000 or $75,000 to pay the expenses of the inaugural ceremonies. It is purely their sideshow, and they pay the expenses of it. This fund has al ways been subscribed to with the ex press understanding that every dollar subscribed would be guaranteed to be returned to the donors. And every dollar has always been duly returned. Heretofore the inaugural commit tee, which is comprised of Washing ton business men, has erected view ing stands on parkings all along the line of the parade and charged a fee of oO cents to $1 for a seat. Pre-: viously the government gave over the use of the pension office building -for j the holding of the inaugural ball, con- cert and supper. The price for e. tick- I et to the ball was $5 for each person attending and $2 additional for sup- per. During the week of inaugura tion the concert was held in the ball room and an admission price of $2 was charged to enjoy the event and view the decorations. j It is estimated that the expense for' the use of the pension office building for the holding of these festivities was something like $25,000. This expense was incurred in giving a week's va-; cation to 3,000 employees in the of-j fice, the shifting of files, records and office furniture out and back into the DR. D. R.

And then he, meaning to be kind all the time, as kiddies do when they try to hug a baby chicken to death, presses it so tight between his hands that that heart is never quite the same again. building, besides entailing a loss of time in the adjudication of thousands of pension claims. The Democratic house decided it would not stand for this expense and the, president-elect indorsed its contention. So there will be no inaugural ball this year. This decison was a sledge hammer blow to the inaugural committee, for the rea son that the receipts of the ball, con cert and supper had heretofore been the means of guaranteeing the return of every dollar subscribed by the bus ness men for the inaugural ceremony. Generally the weather has been severe on these occasions and much loss was suffered in the receipts taken in from parade street stand seats. Raised the Price of Seats. In view of the fact that there will be no ball or public reception, the in augural committee has decided to in crease the charge for seats along the line of the parade. Seats costing 50 cents during former inaugurations will be sold next March 4 at from $1.50 to $5. Window space for viewing the pa rade will be sold at from $5 a chair to $800 a room and upwards, depend ing upon the location in Pennsylvania avenue. The number of these Indoor viewpoints are exceedingly limited, and generally are bought up by the wealthier class of visitors and local people. The average visitor on these occasions has but little opportunity to see and er. joy ut little for his money. The gTand KtanH eror-torl in front Of the CapHOl, where the president takes his oath of o ficp and delivers his inaugural address, will be limited for occupancy only by ttii cabinet officers, diplomatic corps, mem bers of the house and senate, their pre ferred friends and families, officers and employees of the house and senate, and nearly 200 newspaper correspondents. Take Chances With the Multitude. But very few visitors are ever lucKy enough to obtain seats on the official stand. They must take their chance with the multitude standing on the capitol plaza. Should the inaugural ceremony be held in the senate, a chance for the outsider to obtain a ticket of admission to the gal leries is far more difficult than to secure one to the grandstand on account of tne limited capacity of seats and standing room. About all the average visitor will see next inauguration will be a passing glane of the new president on his way to ar-vl from the capitol and a paeeant covering three or more hours of the army, navy and civic and political bodies. The parade will be greatly shortened by reason of the fact that a majority of Uie state legislatures have already declined to appropriate the necessary funds to send militia organizations to Washington for the inauguration.. This is another big disappointment to the inaugural commit tee. It not only means a shortening ;t the pageant, but an immense loss to tne hotels, rooming houses and saloons. Take it in all its glory and pomp, tne cominK inauguration of Mr. Wilson will undoubtedly be a cheap show when oi e takes into consideration the great expense the visitor Is put to and what he may be able to see and enjoy.

SHAW A Farmer Interrupts Her Speech to Offer Marriage. Danielson, Conn., Feb. 1. Six hundred persons, most of whom were suffragistc. who were listening to an address by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the Na tional Suffrage association, in the Dan ielson theater last night were thrown into confusion when John Frlsbie. a wealthy farmer of Mechanicsville. Interrupted tne speaker and proposed marriage to her. "Just a minute. Miss Shaw," shouted Frisbie, "I have been a widower for IS years. Will you marry me and make u.e T hau. nlAtrtv f nr til hoth." For several minutes Dr. Shaw stood be 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' to that they are so very clever?" So every little while he's up afore the judge on the charge of "CRUELTY." He's an old offender, and since my lady judge has taken up suffrage and gone out into the world to broaden her mind will she be "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" to the "OLD OFFENDER"? Can he play upon her heart with piteous, dewy eyes, and wet, red mouth, and a crystal tear a- speechless, then she cried out dra matically: "I don't want a wedding ring. AH 1 want is the vote." "I hope you never get the vote if that's the way you feel about it," was FTisbie's parting shot as he left the hall. SULZER'S TONE EASY. Wall Street More Cheerful Large Earnings Reported. New York, Feb. 1.- Interest In the stock market which has long been languishing, was revived this week by speculative operations on a large scale which centered about the American Can stocks. .Trading in these shares ran Into 'large figures, and the com mon preferred were advanced approx imately 15 and 11 points respectively. The general list at times advanced sharply, although the week's move ment as a whole was irregular and periods of strength were followed by recessions. Sentiment was somewhat more cheerful, however, and there was a tendency to break away from gloomy forebodings. The moderate tone of Governor Sulzer's message to the legislature re specting the stock exchange helped to put Wall street in a more cheerful frame of mind. Reports of handsome earnings by the railroads in December and the satisfactory showing of the United States Steel corporation for the last quarter were other constructive factors. Termination of peace negotiations in London was of little effect on this market. Gold exports to both France and Argentina continued, $8,000,000 hav ing been engaged this week for ship ment to South America. The re sources of the money market contin ued to be ample, and foreign demand for gold was not reflected in money rates. ROBBERS GET FREEDOM Three Postoffice Burglars Released by Judse Pollock.

United States Funds Will Be Kept in 1 Circulation Now. Washington, Feb. 1. The United United treasury today revolutionized its business system and placed the ordinary fiscal -transactions of the federal government on a modern basis. The change, it is declared, will prevent in large measure the temporary tying up in the vaults of the subtreasuries o(a large amount of money available for circulation without increasing the deposits of the government in the banks. Beginning today the daily govern ment receipts from customs, internal revenue and other sources will be placed with the national bank de positories to the credit of the treasurer of the United States. All checks of government disbursing officers will be drawn on the treasurer and will be payable at any subtreasury or nation al bank depositary in any part of the country. A national depositary paying one of these checks may immediately reimburse its specified government ac count fnom daily receipts of customs or internal revenue deposited with it and forward to the nearest substreas ury only the remainder of the re ceipts. This extends the clearing house- principle to the government business system. In the past all receipts in the shape of checks for customs duties or in ternal revenue taxes have been for warded to the subtreasuries for con version into actual cash. This process, which it is said drew money into the treasury unnecessarily for a limited time at' least, will now be avoided. Also, it is declared, the change will obviate the payment by pensioners and others of exchange on govern ment checks. SPORT SNAP SHOTS. (By Dan McCarty.) "I "wouldn't be surprised if I quit baseball," sighed Jim Delehanty the other day. Jim is the big blaze in the American association, where he hit to the tune of .448 in 27 games last year. "No, I'm not a holdout. I can get as" much money as I'm worth to a minor -league club. I'm just tired of playing ball." Whereat Del heaved an other sigh. Delehanty has been in baseball 14 years and will be 34 next June 20. He wants' to go on the police force, and has passed the required examination. Luther McCarty has the proud dis tinction of being the handsomest prize fighter who ever wore a championship belt. He's Apollo all over again, and could easily win the highest class beauty contest. Luther Is 6 feet 3 inches tall, weighs 205. and has a build that artists might rave over. His nose is still straight and the. pristine beauty of his face has not been spoiled by punches. Are tlie expressions of sympathy which are heard on every hand over the plight of Jim Thorpe deserved? Jim Thorpe is not a simple. child. He knew Just exactly what he was doing the jury be as kind to him now shaking on his chin, as he has always upon the tender hearts of old-fashioned maids Will the jury be as kind to him, now that they are so very clever?" r- He certainly is always deep in crime, this little boy, this old man, this angel but one's heart al most melts away like butter when he pleads his case! NELL BRINKLEY. when he went into professional base ball. He knew that he could not hon orably take part in amateur athletics after having played a season or two of professional baseball. He knew when he went to Stockholm as an American representative in the Olympic games that if his professionalism should be discovered the revelation would bring humiliation to his native land. Know ing all these things he went right on, protesting constantly that he was an amateur. It may be doubted whether the expressions of sympathy will be heard very long. Whether Thorpe is to be condemned for his course or not, there can be no question but that the Amateur Ath letic Union deserves the condemnation which has lately been heaped upon it. Had the A. A. U. followed the course of duty it would have looked into Thorpe's record before he went to Stockholm. Also it would take some action with regard to the scores and scores, of professionals who are play ing as amateurs in all the colleges of the land. The term "amateur" when applied to athletics is getting to be a Joke. It would not be were the A. A. U. strictly on the Job. Joe Mandot, the New Orleans fighter, manages to keep busy. Immediately after his bout with Tommy Murphy at San Francisco on Washington's birthday, he will take a flying trip back to the Crescent City, where he will meet two other fighters of renown I Jack Britton and Knock-Out Brown, of New York city. Both fights Willi be for ten rounds and will be pulled off j in March. I PIKE COUNTY MODEL. No Debts, No Lawsuits, No One in Jail. Philadelphia, Feb.. 1. Not a single jury trial in nearly two years is the unique record of Pike county, ihis state, according to Presiding Judge Charles B. Staples of the Pike-Monroe district, who is at present presiding ovqr a Philadelphia court. "The county Jail is empty," said Judge Staples last night. "There are no cases on the court calendars, either criminal or civil, and I journey to Milford, the county seat, every three months to go through the formality of holding a court where there are no trials." As near as Judge Staples can re member the last Jury trial in the county court was in June, 1911. At that session two cases reached juries. both of which were of a minor nature and were concluded in less than two days. The Jury wheels are kept filled but no names are drawn. The county doesn't owe a cent, has no bonds outstanding and has a bal ance of more than- $4,000 In the treas ury. Pike county is located in the north eastern section of the state, on the New York and New Jersey boundaries and has a population of 8,033. What makes your baby so head strong?"

There are auite a numhnr of thM societies in New York City, -some of mem naving many nunareds or mem- some of the speeches assume the im portance oi national events because of the high .position or reputation of the speakers.

Who shed their blood at the Nation's call for the martyr-state's release. And led her out of the depths of war and Into the ways of peace. I honor them. all; but I honor, too, the Infinite Wisdom's plan Of putting a man behind the gun, and a woman behind the man! General William Crozler, late of the United States War College, In his ad dress,, pointed out the need for the in struction of the young men of the country In military matters so that If called upon for service in the event of war they would not have everything to learn from the very beginning. He intimated that the war department had made considerable advance in plans to this end that were likely to be submitted to the states with a view to their acceptance and carrying Into effect. William A. Deford, assistant district attorney, New York county, gave an interesting and illuminating account of his experiences in New York and In Albany with respect to 80-cent gas for the Empire City, and he passed from that topic to the subject of public sen timent and its powerful and practical Influence upon the men In control of the government of the state and of the city. In strong epigrammatic terms he described conditions as they exist in most of the cities of the country, of the remedies required,' and of the contin uous, forceful application of the pres sure indicated by all who had the wel fare of the community at heart. To wards the end he struck quite an op timistic note indicating that he consid ered the present outlook for a better city and a better municipal govern ment, and a better administration of the laws was very encouraging. Dr. Frank A. Waugh, of the Massa chusetts Agricultural College, spoke on "Skyscrapers and Landscapes.'' A clever address, with many witty say ings, interspersed with passages descrip tive of the sunflower state and con spicuous features of climate and of the life of past days, that took the old-timers back to those years, the re collection of which causes pleasure in spite of the "hardness" of many of the circumstances recalled.

THE discussions we hive had recently on this page concerning family gov ernment have called forth the fol lowing letter: Mrs. L. V. speaks from the law and the gospel. We ought not only to think Itover, but to use thechild's think' ta doing so. The little brain ia a thing part. Make note of Its individuality, its peculiar translations and understanding of your words and you may find the lie an up side down truth, the disobedience an effort to work out conflicting orders. Pity the sorrows of the first born! Baby talk has gone out of fashion, but the 'baby's brcn. la still with us. Here is an Illustration f the sort of orders sometimes given: 'Wil liam Ebeneier Jones, I insist updo Implicit obedience. Com here immediately Which word does) the sinner comprehend? JlELNAB." And the writer gives other instances to prove bar point that often a child's appar ent naughtiness Is duo to a failure to grasp what the command means. If we think tt over, I Imagine w win agree wlfb the baby's champion. Probably It is Impossible for any grown person to under stand Just the confusion that fills a child's mmd at the orders he receives, To say Be leelai aa we would If we were amongst for eigners, not a word of whose language was knows to us, does not put the situation strongly enough.

Be sore that he is not uncertain instead of disobedient when be la slow to do as ho Is told. One spanking I had tn my childhood which I have never understood," a grand mother told me the other day. I was about 4 years old and my elder stater and I were out In, the yard contemplating the chsrmsof a nestfu) of kittens.

"I HAVE been thinking a great deal lately of the position held by the grandmother In many homes. In some of them she Is loved and hon ored andi seems happy; In others there is apparently no place where she Is needed and she feels that there Is no place for bar In the world nobody really wants ierl After a good deal of thought I am forced to believe that ths main cause of the dis satisfied state of such a number of the grandmothers of this age Is simply and entirely the way they were taught In their earnest youth. "Had they learned In the most impres sionable age the great advantage of read ing good books beginning with the Book of books, the Bible their minds would have become so centered on higher thoughts, higher ideals, that the petty an noyances of life would make no Impression on them. May I give you an object lesson in deed, a little ego? I am now 76 years old and life Is as sweet and enjoyable as when I was IS. At T years of age I began to read good books and aa I grew older my great love of reading Increased until at 12 I had read Plutarch's Lives," Prime's Travels in the Holy Land," and other kindred works. In the evenings my sainted father always read some uplifting book to ua, thus more and more filling my mind with Inspiring thoughts and giving me an optimistic view ot life. An ardent love of nature was early instilled in my mind by dally walks in the lovely woods and fields. Now I am not only a grandmother, but a great-grandmother and life is Just as pleasant and satisfactory as it was when I was young In years. I do not feel a particle older than I did in youth and enjoy life with the same zest. C. II. K." A letter such as this Comes peculiarly close to me. I am not a great-grandmother, but I have grown grandsons and I iave the advantage of you in years, since I have passed my eightieth birthday.- But increase of years has not lessened my Interest in life, or my enjoyment of the many dear and keautiful things our heavenly father baa recollection of his remark I infer that he had called us, that my sister had heard and obeyed, and that I had been too much ab sorbed in the kittens even to hear him. I didn't deserve that spanking but in those days parents seldom stopped to inquire closely into the Justice of their corrections. -I had appeared disobedient, therefore I must be punished." Not only In the nursery and with small children, is It well to cultivate clearness In giving orders and to make sure you are comprehended before you condemn for fail ure to obey. The same rule applies with the maidservant within our gates. A good many years have passed since I told a newly landed Irish maid to throw out of a pot the water in which cabio&ge had been boiled. She stood uncertain for a moment and looked at me with uncompre hending eyes. "Throw the water away!" I repeated. Pour It off the cabbage." And as she stHI did not move I lifted the pot myself and turned the water off the vegetable. A great light of comprehension broke over her face. o. it's waste It you mean," she ex claimed. We had each of us added a word to our vocabularies. Maids Often Like Children, When I first came over," my waitress once told me, I had a great deal of trouble knowing what the lady of the house meant' when she talked about a platter. Sure at home it's always a dish, and what you call a pitcher we call a Jug pronouncing It Joog I was a terrible greenhorn. Was she more of one than the average American girl would have been If trans ported to Ireland and obliged to accus tom herself to the nomenclature taken for granted there? With all the desire In the world to make matters easy for my employes, and with the practice long years of housekeeping have given me in simplifying my directions for their benefit, I still find myself brought up now and then with a sharp turn be cause I have not sufficiently considered the slow workings of the brains with which I have to deal. It Is not a week since I was hurrying through my directions for dinner In order to get to another duty when T was checked In the midst of my instruc tions by the look of noncomprehension on my cook's face. I had told her to add to mato to the bean soup of the night before, to serve French fried potatoes and spinach with the steak, putting enough cream in the spinach to soften It, and to make a cottage pudding and at this point I saw the dazed expression which meant that communication was stopped. I checked myself. You understand about the pudding, Bridget T' I asked. No, ma'am. It's the soup I'm thlnkin' about. Is the tomatoes to be put into it sthralned or onsthralned?" MARION ssnt to me. The love of nature grows rather than diminishes, my happiness with my family and friends is even stronger than in my youth, I enjoy keenly meeting new people and I never find any one In whom there Is not something which inter tits me. "S our experience with reading is like my own and I feel as does Ruskin that we should all build ourselves nests of beauti ful thoughts to be a refuge for us as the years go on. I am fond of saying that the sugar of life is In the bottom of the cup. Love of God and nature and humanity, faith In them all and an Interest which takes us outside of ourselves and helps us to live in the lives of others Is the prescription to cure morbidness and dissatisfaction and keep us full of life and courage and joy to the very end. Are there not numerous other grand mothers who feel as we do and would like to tell us what means they practice to pre serve their zest In life? Grapefruit Marmalade. "Will you kindly give me a recipe for orange marmalade, using oranges, lemons, and grapefruit? Mrs. J. R. B." By a happy coincidence another corre spondent sends by the same mail which brought me your request a recipe for the conserve you wish. She calls it grape fruit marmalade," but it contains all three of the fruits you mention, and whatever name you call it by I don't doubt it will taste as good. GRAPEFRUIT MARMALAUE One grapefruit, one large orange, one large lemon. Scrub fruit, cut in half, seed, and take out cores. Chop or shave the fruit very fine, saving every bit and every drop of juice. Measure these, and to every cup ful add two cupfuls of cold watery put in agate or china vessel and let stand for twenty-four hours -longer will do no harm in cold weather. Put on the stove and let It come slowly to a boil, cook for twenty minutes after this and set it away for twenty-four hours more. Then measure again, and for every cupful allow a cupful of sugar; place this in a shallow pan in open oven; put fruit on the stove and bring again to the boil, and boll hard ten minutes. Put In the sugar, boll moderately until the fruit jellies on a spoon dipped into It. Fill your glasses with the hot mixture, and when the marmalade is cold pour over the top of each glass a thin film of melted paraffin. The amount I have given will fill ten ordinary jelly glasses and will keep for years. Sometimes I make the marmalade with out the grapefruit. Occasionally I use the oranges and lemons, and Just before put ting in the sugar I stir in a quart of rhubarb stewed without sugar but I allow sugar for it.- Often I use other fruits than the rhubarb pears, peaches, etc., but I always stew it until soft. Be sure that the skin of the fruit is very tender before putting on the sugar. A better drilled mind would have set aside the query concerning the soup until the other orders had been received and understood. Bridget's brain ceased work ing at the first obstacle in the way of smooth comprehension. She had heard nothing beyond the initial order, and while Often I had gone glibly on to pudding she was still struggling with the sthralned or onsthrained state in which the to matoes were to go into the soup.

Patience Should Be Exercised. Often our maids are like children in that HARLAND'S HELPING HAND. Let me give another recipe I have tried and found good. LEMON PIE. Grate rind of one lemon, pull off the white skin, and after rolling out your crust and putting it on the plate, slice the peel lemon very thin and lay on the crust. Crumble one large slice of bread, strew the crumbs over the lemon. Beat the yolks of two egs in a bowl with a cup of sugar and one of water and the grated rind of the lemon. Pour this slowly over the crumbs In the pie plate and bake. When cold, make a meringue of the whites of the eggs and' four tablespoons of powdered sugar, spread on the pie, brown lightly, and eat very cold. Friend." Recipes for Cake and Bread.

I do not mean to imply that we should use moderately firm dough, knead until hands become dry, place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise about two hours. When light mold into loavts and place in well greased baking pans, cover, and let rise again for about one hour; when light bake in a quick oven, where it should orown In from fifteen to twenty minutes, then reduce heat until baked.. An ordinary loaf requires about fifty minutes. The beating of batter and kneading of the dough is of as much importance as the ingredients you put in to make good' bread. Beating, and kneading add the air which is necessary for the development of yeast. Greasing the bowl and keeping bread well covered while rising prevents a crust from forming on the top. which if allowed to form and kneaded into the dough causes streaks through thci bread. Potatoes keep the bread moist and give it a nice flavor. Use no flour when molding into loaves and handle s little as poesible. To be sure bread is ready for oven, put flour on the finger and make an impression in one of the loaves. If the Impression remains the bread will rise no more.

Some years ago I partook of a Christmas dinner, cookedt I believe, by a southern incorrect language or tafce unfair liberties with English grammar In order to make ourselves understood by those who work for us and wbose vocabulary differs from ours. On the contrary, we should enlarge their range and teach them new words and phrases. But let us understand the dis advantages under which tbey labor and exercise for their sakes a HWie of the pa tience w would like to have displayed for ua If we were placed in similar clrcum- Let Maid Try Her Ovn Way. Consider for a moment bow you would feel if you were transported into ths homo of an employer wbose works and ways were all unknown to you. Tou have no Idea of where anything Is and although your new mistress may show you, you cannot take tt all in at once. Tou are unable to recol leot If she likes the spoons put on tha right side of the plate or the left when the table Is set. If she keeps the plates on the first or the second shelf of the china closet, and If she told you to brush down the stairs before you swept the bedrooms or after wards. Tet you may be familiar with the sort of language she uses and may be accustomed to the kind of bouse in which she lives. How would tt be if you were put down In a French, or German, or Italian kitchen, with a different fuel from any you had ever used, utenaila whose very names you did not know, articles of food that were new to you? Don't you think you would be grateful to the employer wh. would be patient with your slowness of comprehension and willing to repeat her orders deliberately enough for you to stow them away In some sort of sequence In your puzzled brain? Even if a maid is not actually "green" she Is. as she would herself put It, "a little strange" for the first few days. Tou can make life easier for her and Incidentally for yourself If you -will let her try her own way of work Instead of Insisting upon her following your methods exactly. 'To my mind, there Is only one right way of doing a thing," a housekeeper said to me a few days since. "I make my servants follow my rule about everything and do their work in my way!" I feel sorry for the maids wno live with that housekeeper. I don't wonder there are so many changes la her kitchen. To my mind results and not processes are to be studied. If my laundress brings In my clothes snowy clean and well Ironed, end if I know that she has used no Injurious detersives in bringing them to that state, I do not ask her in how many waters she has rinsed the garments, how long they have been soaked, or boiled, or scrubbed. The clothes are clean, uninjured by chemicals and ironed to suit my rather fastidious taste. Try this plan as ell as that of mak ing your orders lucid and see if it -does not contribute to peace and contentment for you and your household alike. cook. The turkey was stuffed with some kind of a cornbread or corn meal stuffing and I have never found anyone who could give me the recipe. I consider it the most delicious turkey dressing I have ever eaten and If possible would like much to obtain the recipe. Can you help me? M. A. V. V." Again I must ask the help of my con stituency. I am neb familiar with such a stuffing as you mention. I have eaitenattif fing for poultry of oysters, of chestnuts, of bread, of sausage, of potato, and divers other compounds, but the cornmeal or corn bread stuffing lea novelty tome, and I would like much to know how to prepare it. S ajt Fruit Cake That Will Keep. In order that those who have any doubt as to the last statement may have the chance to prove it I give with this s. recipe for fruit cake. I inclose you directions for a fruit cake which will keep for one year or twenty five with the right care, and is better after one month than when first made. The recipe has been in our family for five gen erations at least, and was used by my mother at her wedding and again at ber golden wedding two years ago. FRUIT CAKE Two and a half pounds white sugar, ons pound butter, one pound flour, dozen eggs. Beat eggs, add sugar and butter creamed together, and flour. Add two pounds currants, one and one-balf pounds raisins, and one pound shredded citron, dredged) In flour, and two ounces each of allspice and cinnamon, and one ounce grated nutmeg. Bake In a very alow oven about five hours and watch constantly, as It will burn easily. M. C. C." A cake with such a pedigree as this should be worth having and I follow it with in structions for another which is almost as well recommended.

Another Fruit Cake Recipe. I send a fruit cake recipe which has been used for years without failure, and will, I hope, be of Interest to some of your readers. FRUIT CAKE Ona and a half cups butter, half cup each of butter and of lard, three eggs, a grated nutmeg, a teaspoon ground cloves, three teaspoons ground cin namon, a teaspoon and a half baking soda, a cup each of currants and of raisins, the latter cooked In a Httle water until tender and all the water cooked away, a cup sour milk, a cup nut meats, walnut or any kind you choose, three cups flour. Mas. o. B." All these cakes have their place In the commissariat and are perhaps of most use to offer on state occasions. For this reason their '"keeping qualities are valuable, since If wrapped tn cloths and shut away in a tightly closed tin box they are good for a much longer time than a simpler cake would be. Although expensive in material, they should only be eaten In small quantities because of their richness and so are not so costly in the long run as a plainer cake that would bs served la large porUeas.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING- FEBRUARY J. 1913. Noah and the Divine Eugenics The International Sunday School Les son for February 2 Is "The Flood, Gen. 6:9-22; 7:11-2. (BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.) A big little word is moving out of the scientific Journals into the daily newspapers, and creeping into the speech of cultivated people. This is "eugenics," or the science of being well born, or of race betterment. It stands for the big idea that society owes it to itself to improve the stock of mankind. There is a sound basis for the principle, though it often runs out in faddish and foolish notions. It Is really no new idea: God has been busy with the science of universal eugenics since the beginning of time. The story of Noah is but a little study in God's school of eugenics. For the divine economy has ever had re gard to the fitness of the race. In His own way and in His own time God has eliminated the unfit, and provided for the dominence in life of the peo ples who come nearest to representing His idea. All of human history is a series ot expeiiiii" eugenics. We may read the rise and fall of nations by the light of this Greek word: since it is clear that there has been an overruling and omniscient Providence that has lifted up nations that were worthy to rule and put them aside when they became unfit. That process is still going on. A Lons Look at the Human Race. distinguished British scientist -.ioi.ratfi his eightieth birthday a few weeks ago by declaring that there had been practically no improvement in the human race in seven tnousana i I'ou I vfA rs. the facts. It may be true ana it is significant that it was a famous evolu tionist who uttered these pessimistic words that the human body and brain and character are essentially no more capable than they were millen niums ago, but it is undeniable that new ideals have come to dominate hu manity. The man who says that the world is no better than in the days when the many toiled as slaves under the lash of the few in the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates, and when life was cheap and the will of the king was supreme, is ignorant of the stead ily growing idealism and humanitar ianism of the race. New conceptions of human rights and human liberty have become dominant; man's vision of justice has broadened; mercy is a better understood word; the constant state of war has given way to a reign of normally peaceful civilization. This whole world in our own day is com ing anew under the sway of the ideal ism of Jesus. I The sittings of the centuries are still continuing. We have seen, within the lifetime of every reader of these words. once powerful nations pass into posi tions of marked inferiority. Where is j Spain, that once ruled the world? What is left of the Turk's proud power? Who now sings the song of Persian imperial ism? In the "very regions or tne Noan story the traveler finds the Arabs I oIoiie- the rivers a degenerate, (liseased and disappearing people. The great is it to be measured by their fol problem of European politics today is a lowers. It belongs among the un problem of the pre-eminence of Slavism measured spiritual forces of our gen- or Germanism. The next few decades will determine which is the more fit to dominate the map of Europe. The reverent student of history is well con tent to watch the processes of the years, assured that they are the certain winnowings of the Almighty, who is having His way with mankind, even as when He precipitated the floods up on the Mesopotamian valleys. The Fact or the Hood. There is no doubt about a great flood rl v in 1 1 i r nistnrv rf tho hnmon t--j n i somewhere near its place of beginning. The Babylonian tablets tell the story; Chinese literature holds it; central Asia cherishes the tradition; the North American Indians, who probably came from the same region, bear a legend of similar purport. The late President Harper sets forth the historicity of the deluge as follows: "We may regard the deluge as a his torical fact preserved in a multitude of forms, 'an actual and terrible event which made so powerful an impression upon the imaginations of the first par ents of our species that their descend ants could never forget it. This cata clysm took place near the primitive cradle of mankind and previous to the separation of the families from whom the principal races were to descend.' The deluge was a fact: it was a part of a great plan; its record as handed down to us in the Hebrew Scriptures is the one clear, distinct account, and when compared with the other accounts rrars on its face the indications of its divine origin." Little Ideas of the World. There is no need to believe that the world that was submerged was the world we now know. It is to be re membered that the Genesis story was written in terms of the knowledge of Ihe time, and that the world was a little world, which had not yet pene trated to the east of Asia or the west of Europe. Not all people now living study geography or even know that the world is round. Millions of the adult Moslems today think that Constantinople is really the greatest capital of the earth and that all peoples are predominantly Moslem. The Chi nese used to call nil other peoples "for eign devils." They thought only in terms of their own neighborhood. They were provincials. The area of the flood was probably a restricted area, con fined to the cradle of the race in the Mesopotamian Valley, and only those concerned in the great tragedy assumed that the whole world was overflowing. It was not rain alone that caused the flood. "On the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up and the windows of heaven were opened." The Persian Gulf at the per iod of the deluge extended far up into the region which we now know as Mesopotana. That it was at one time or another subject to immense up heavals, and may easily have caused great tidal waves, is clear by the fact that the old gulf is still dotted with great mountains. The Moslem tradition says that the ark landed --ot on Ararat, but on Jfebel Judi, a snow crowned mountain in Kurdistan on the eastern shore -of the Tigris river. The Man Who Believed. After all. this is less a story of geography and of a physical cataclysm than it is of human faith. In a evil time one man was good. Noah be lieved God and did as he was told. He dared to defy wicked fashions. When righteousness was a reproach, he kept the faith. When God bade him prepare for the disaster that was to clean up the world by cleaning out his wicked neighbors, Noah went ahead and built the ark. It takes little imagination to picture the jeers and scoffings that the eld man suffered as he proceeded with the build ing of the great box-like ship, wnicn could not be moved down to the river, and which in any case was too big to navigate them. But Noah had that quality of faith which is willing to wait and see the will of uoa worK out. The fact of sin in Noah's world, and the fact of sin in our world is the pro foundly significant truth of this les son. What shall be the relation of the righteous man to an unrighteous com munity? What is the attitude of- God toward sin? The late Dr. Charles Cuth. bert Hall expressed the truth admir ably: "There are but four attitudes possible in anv heiner toward sin Ignorance, in difference, consent, condemnation. God the Righteous can not be ignorant; God the Righteous can not be indifferent; God the Righteous con not consent; God the Righteous must condemn, must under the moral necessity of His Be ing." Scoffers Silenced. The plans of God for humanity are going through, with man's co-operation or despite man's opposition. That is the first plank in the Christian plat form. The divine scheme of eugenics is certain to work. He may have to make over this old earth when nation after nation has disappointed Him, but God is going to erect His kingdom, and he is going to deliver His own. They Willi ivhn believe Him and serve Him are amid aU perils; they are co-work- ers witn omnipotence m a vaomi scheme of eugenics than is written in any of the. books of science. Proving Christian Endeavor Success. Terse Comments for February 2, "Christian Endeavor Principles and How to Uphold Them." John 14:6-15. (BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.) Who traces the river back to Its springs? What publicist is interest ed and acute enough to follow the present social and political changes back to their beginnings? Some of us are assured that by any such test ing it would be found the modern Young People's movement, of which Christian Endeavor is the first and foremost exponent, has been a tre mendous factor in setting up the new ideals which have worked out so wonderfully. Literally millions of young men and young women have been indoctrinated with practical idealism in these societies. They have been inspired to a conception of reli gion wrought in a ministry. Their Hf motto, which has not been for- gotten when they ceased to be active members, has been, "Not to be min istered unto, but to minister." The potency of Christian Endeavor was not realized by its promoters; nor eraticn. The fashion is growing of calling the roll of the present generation of leaders in all forms of Christian work, and of pointing out that with few exceptions they had their train ing in the young people's societies. Likewise the list of Christian En deavor governors, congressmen, may ors and other public servants, is a leng one, and growing longer. These all, together with the myriads who serve men and God in less conspicu ous ways, are- the proof of Christian Endeavor principles. There are now many hundreds of Christian Endeavorers on the for eign field as missionaries. There is no better place or way to exemplify the teachings of Christian Endeavor. The Covenant idea is basic In Christian Endeavor. The societies are built on the idea of pledged al legiance. Every member subscribes to some form of pledge. The habit of keeping faith is formed, and the sacredness of an obligation is taught. The very danger that pledges will be broken has but stimulated thought upon their solemnity. The young peo ple's movement is a crusade of covenant-keepers. They have vowed their lives unto the Lord. "Pray that He may prosper ever Each endefvor When the aim is good and true: But that He may ever thwart the And convert thee. When thou evil wouldst pursue." Baron Von Canitz. The old notion that spirituality is something for the aged and ready to die has been killed by Christian En deavor. The norm of life, and of life at its fullest tide, is a character in fellowship with God. Strong, sym metrical and winsome young people have proved that religion is altogether normal and entirely consistent with the most wholesome type of life. "One Christian Endeavor principle is that of obligation: if anything is worth doing it is worth promising to try to do. "Another principle of Christian En deavor is co-operation. Two are more than twice one. In union not only is strength, but multiplied strength. "Testimony is a Christian Endeav or principle. Speech, that godlike faculty, should be consecrated to the most godlike uses. "Training is a Christian Endeavor principle. In this school of religious education we learn to do by doing. We are to become all-round workers and also specialists." Amos R. Wells. The school of doers teaches the skill that most directly counts. In Chris- tian Endeavor, where youth learns by doing, the idea of service has been dominant. It really antedated the present social service movement in the churches, and prefigured it. That there are many tasks of Christian work wholly within the range of young people's ability was a new idea thirty years ago; but now we see how this principle has led devoted disciples into a wide range of activities, ranging from the teaching of a Sunday school class to work in a rescue mission. Touth can: that truth is written large in Christian Endeavor history. "So night Is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man; When Duty whispers low, "Thou must,' The Youth replies, I can.'" SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS. The great thing, after all, is only Forward I Guethe. When God will guide, God will provide. Adolphe Monod. If you fear, cast all your care on God; that anchor holds. Tennyson. Right and wrong are in the na ture of things, and if you transgress the laws laid down, imposed by the nature of things, depend upon it you will pav the penalty. John Morley.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 Scientific Bible students find the Bible story of the Deluge corroborated by Geology, Astronomy and History. The oldest records of Babylonia tell of the Deluge. But no record compares with the Genesis account or gives a connect ed history of 1656 years from Adam to the Flood. Geology demonstrates that there have been several great deluges. When we ask whence such floods could come, Astronomy points us to Saturn ana Jupiter with their "rings," composed of minerals thrown off as gas when the planets were at white heat. These gases cooled and formed various rings. The rotation of the planets on their axes causes these rings to spread out as great envelopes, and gradually to thin at the equator and thicken at the poles, until they collapse, causing de luges. The earth once had similar "rings." precipitated one after another, at long 'ntervals during the Six Great Creative Days. .God so timed His Plan mat the last of earth's rings was still unbroken when man was created. But it had spread into a great canopy or veil. There could be neither rain nor storm under such conditions. (Genesis 2:5.) The temperature of the while earth was equable, the sun's rays acting up on the canopy as upon the white glass of a hot-house. Why the Polar Ice? Geology testifies to a Glacial Period, when great icebergs, carried by floods of water, rushed from the poles to ward the equator. Scientists have traced great valleys cut by these ice bergs during this period. The collapse of the canopy caused a deluge at both poles, a flow of great tidal waves toward the equator and sudden, intense cold at the poles. The water froze so rapidly that in recent years animals with grass between their teeth have been dug out of solid polar ice. The vertical rays of the sun kept the equatorial atmosphere very hot until the trade winds sprang up, distributing the heat over the earth. The equa torial waters were also very hot, until the ocean currents set in. These, like the Gulf Stream, carry the warm equa torial waters toward the poles. These processes, goine on for 4.400 years, are gradually thawing out the polar reg ions, and causing large numbers of icebergs to break loose from the polar glaciers, and distress mariners. Professor George Frederick Wrigftt i has dropped a suggestion which fits a nU with the Bible narrative that Noah's ark apparently remained near the place where it was built. As we understand the professor, the geolog ical evidences are that swift currents laden with icebergs and rocks visited parts of America, Europe and Asia, but seemingly avoided Mt. Ararat, where evidently an eddy formed, for alluvial deposits there are extraordi narily thick. The Cause of the Deluge. Let us inquire. Why did not Divine providence precipitate the last ring before man was created? The answer I is that God foreknew the rebellion of Sat&n and permitted the temptation i and fall of man solely because He foresaw how ultimate good could be accomplished and valuable lessons be given both men and angels. All of j His dealings are along lines of Justice, guided by Love Divine. I Before the Flood wickedness had j greatly increased, but not merely from I human depravity. Some of the angels 1 became disobedient to God, and by their greater intelligence led mankind into depths of iniquity. Genesis 6:1-5. i The Bible cites many instances where angels have materialized as hu- j man beings. This power appears to have been possessed by angels before the Flood Some of them married I daughters of men and lived as human j beings different from Adam's family, i We read that they were giants, "men of renown," who filled the earth with violence. Finally God's displeasure blotted them out of existence in the Deluge. God thus manifested His de termination to destroy sin. Antediluvian sinners of Adam's race belong to the mass of mankind, with whom Messiah will deal during His Millennial Reign of righteousness. After chastisement for willful disobe dience, they may be, if willing, recov ered from sin and death, and attain human perfection at Jesus' cost. For the ons of angels by human mothers there is no hope. Their ex istence was not authorized by God. They were not redeemed. They will have no awakening. As for the fallen angels, the Bible tells us that for 4.400 years they nave Deen re strained "in chains of darkness," un til "the Judgment of the Great Day." Jude 6.

EVERYBODY'S BIBLFbOX. Q. Is there more than civil law op posed to polygamy? What is the Di vine Law on the subject? (J. D. W.) Answer God's Law was not original ly written on tables of stone nor print ed in books. It was written in the heart of the first perfect man whom He created. The Divine provision was one husband for one wife, one wife for one husband. This the Divine will was, of course, the Divine Law. Af terward sin entered and God left man kind, as condemned sinners, to die, and to wait for the time when He would send the Redeemer, and, later on, would begin a. work of restitution. The Scriptures tell us that many things of those past times "God winked at" He did not attempt to rule the world but left it in its degradation for Messiah in due time to regenerate. With the New Testament times, how ever, God began to speak to those will ing to hear and desirous of coming into harmony with Him. He does not yet speak to the world, but to the conse crated Church of Christ. To these in various ways He indicated His will and Law. No suggestion favorable to polygamy is found in the teachings of Jesus or His Aipostles. St. Paul, writ ing to Timothy and Titus respecting suitable .Brethren to be chosen Elders and Deacons, examples to the flock vtinilla ttH that tk, hock, stipulated that they should be the husbands of not pinrw than nno

wire, roijgamy may nave prevailed amongst tne Uentues, but It was never recognized as proper. St. Paul emphasizes monogamy in his letter to the Ephesians, saying, I have espoused you as a chaste virgin unto one husband, Christ. He pro ceeds to speak of Christ as the Church in the singular and applies the lesson to one husband and one wife and how their union constitutes a likeness to tht heavenly union, as it also corres ponds to the original union which God introduced in Eden. Q- Since there are six hundred and more Christian religious sects; how can a wise man leaving out the fools and wayfaring men (Isaiah xxxv. 8-1 tell which one is the true church? They cannot all be right for they all teach differently from one another. Which is the one to join in order to keep out of you know, the place where the fire and the brimstone is lo cated? (Bewildered.) Answer. Since all of the religious systems of the day originated long af ter the days of the Lord Jesus and His Apostles, and since there is not a single command in all of the Scrip tures to affiliate with any of the pres ent day churches, no one could au thoritatively say that any of these was the true church, and that one should join this or that or the other. De nominationalism "Churchianity" is coming more and more into disrenute before the world and this is evidenced i by the rapidly dwindling number of I church going people. There are" more than ten thousand country church buildings which have been vacated by their congregations in this country alone. The real estate markets in the large cities are being loaded with church properties to the extent of mil lions of dollars. The enlightened people of today are disgusted with the doctrinal errors and confusion exist ing in the churches and they are gen tly but firmly refusing to support what their minds and hearts cannot indorse. In view of the decline of de nominationalism foretold in Scrip tures it would be wise for the honest truth seeker to remain independent of any church system, and to study the Bible for himself, endeavoring to live up to the instructions of the Lord Jesus arid His Apostles, and as he haa opportunities, meet with other earnest Bible students of non-sectarian views. Q. What are we to understand by this Scripture "Who then is a faith ful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over His household, to give them meat In due season Blessed Is that servant, who his Lord, when He cometh, shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, that He shall make him ruler over His goods?" Answer. In ancient times it was customary In large households for the master or the head of the family to provide a storehouse filled with food of different kinds and appropriate for the different seasons of the year. Then the master would appoint some special servant as steward over the household whose duty it was to take of the supplies of food in the store house, and furnish it to the household in its proper season. The Lord Jesus was unquestionably referring to this custom as Illustrating the Heavenly Father's arrangements in dealing with the family or household of faith. In the last days of the history of the Church during the presence of the Lord Jesus at His second coming, some special "servant" or messenger of the Lord would be appointed as steward over the household of faith, and it would be the duty of that "faithful and wise servant" to minis ter unto the Lord's people, things new and old, "meat in due season" spir itual food from the great storehouse of truth, the Bible. The expression "ruler" would be better translated from the original Greek by the words placed in charge of, or to appoint over. This would signify that the faithful servant would be given full charge of the entire Bible, "all his goodsr' the Master's spiritual store house. CHURCH NOTICES.

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS (By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.) Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been going with a young man about 28 years of age; I am 19. I have every reason to believe he loves me. Now he has left town. I have heard from him twice and he has been away one month. It is almost breaking my heart. I try to go out and enjoy my self with other boys but cannot. This is not a passing fancy, but real love. Do you think he really loves me? Please advise me what to do. I am sick and nervous. Please help me. HEARTBROKEN. My dear, about the only way a girl may know if a man loves her is when he asks her to be his wife. Then he is seriously in love. Before that, if he cares for her, he will want to be with her as much as possible and will try to please and be considerate of her in every way. Your young man has possibly been very busy since he went away. He is seeing new things and perhaps in a new business. When he gets tired of it all, as he may, he will think back of you more fondly than ever. Meantime, all you can do is be pa tient. Don't write to him any oftener than he writes you and make your letters pleasant without being senti mental. Don't, for goodness sake, let him think you are in love with him until he wants to know, of his own accord. But If he doesn't care for you, keep a. stiff upper lip and remember that you are still young enough to out grow an affection for a man who doesn't want it. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) I am a bright girl of 22 and deeply in love with a young man of 23. Of late he has seemed indifferent to me and as he works in a small town not far from here he only gets to see me once in .three weeks. Now there is a pretty blond cashier working at the same place. Is it possible that she has won his love from me? (2) I have been expecting an en gagement ring from him for the long est time. Do you think I would do wrong if I kind of hinted around for it? TROUBLED. (1) A little jealous, arc you. my dear? And perhaps you have shown that you are. But if you really think he cares more for the other girl than for you, be just as cool to him as he is to you and let her have him. You wouldn't be happy one minute if you tried to hold him without his wanting very much to be held. (2) If you are not engaged to him yon should not expect an engagement ring. It would be very bad taste to hint about wanting one. An engage ment ring isn't necessary to happiness. If he speaks about it, ask him if he doesn't think it would be wiser to give you some inexpensive little token and put most of the money into fur niture for your future home.
