Dividends of 25 per cent, on the $35, 000 capitalization of the Badders Cloth ing company were declared between December 1 and 5. 1913. and special sales since that date have totaled from $25,000 to $35,000. according to the tes timony today of I. C. Burdick, who was called as a witness for the cred itors in the Badders bankruptcy in quiry before Special Master J. o. Slonecker. Burdick is secretary of the Badders company. In an effort to force a receivership in a suit in involuntary bankruptcy, testi mony is now being taken before a spe cial master to be presented in the nnai bankruptcy proceedings February 10. It is alleged that the Badders company paid a 25 per cent, dividend in Decem ber, realized between $25,000 and $35,000 in a subsequent slaughter sale and re duced a $40,000 stock of goods to al most one-fourth its original invoice value and has outstanding nearly $40. 000 in outstanding obligations to for eign creditors. The law firm of Mc-fiintnr-ir Onant today claimed to represent the creditors with more than $30,000 in claims. Bennett I R. Wheeler represented the claim inii in the amount of $2,000, while Mulvane Gault represent the Bank of Topeka, which is said to hold several thousand dollars' worth of Badders paper. On the witness stand today I. C. Bur dick stated that he was secretary of the clothing company. He owns one share of the company's stock. It was generally considered, he said, that Bad ders owned the store, dictated its policy and looked after the business details. For that reason he kept no minutes of stockholders' or directors' meetings and made no official record of the meeting which declared a 25 per cent, dividend on the $."5,000 capitalization. Realized $30,000 from Sale. "At what do you estimate the pro ceeds of the recent sale?" was asked of Burdick. "Between $25,000 and $35,000," said the witness. "What became of the proceeds?" "I don't know. Suppose Mr. Bad ders took charge of it." "What was the purpose of a stock holders' meeting in December?" Bur dick was asked. "We paid a dividend of 25 per cent." Witness then testified that he knew nothing of pressing claims of credi tors of the company and relied on the statement of George S. Badders that the business would warrant the pay ment of the dividend. Subsequent to the meeting, Burdick was handed $20. He never received the addition al $5 as his full share of the dividend on his one share of stock. Burdick was sure that the dividend was de clared previous to the opening of the special sale in December. "Who is treasurer of the com pany?" was asked. "I don't know," was the reply. "As secretary did you keep a rec ord of the dividend meeting?" asked special Master Slonecker. (Continued on Page Six.) BE BIG ATTENDANCE. Kansas Day Club Officials Look to Break Records. From the correspondence received by Fred H. Jewell, secretary, from all parts of Kansas, it is evident that the Republican Kansas Day club will have an attendance that will be a record breaker. The arrangements for the en tertainment of the guests are nearing completion. The crowd will be taken care of in handsome style. Facilities are in hand to entertain all who may come. It is expected that every part of the state will be well represented. Reservations have been made by many counties. President Charles L. Kagey will re turn to Topeka Monday to remain un til the meeting closes. He has re cently visited many of the counties of the state and reports enthusiasm for the club.

Committee Submits Its Report and Tenders Resignation. New York, Jan. 24. A new sewer age system for New York City, pro viding for a scheme of drainage, sew age collection and the construction of an island in the shallows, about three miles off Coney Island, for a disposal plant, are the principal features of the recommendation of a report Just made public by the Metropolitan sew age commission. The five members of the commission have placed their resignations in the hands of Mayor Mitchel with the suggestion, that a new commission be appointed to build the new system, which they estimate will cost the city about $37,000,000. Preliminary estimates made by George A. Soper, a member of the committee, put the cost of build ins the island and its connecting 15-foot tunnel under the East river and Brooklyn at $22,874,000. Other con struction necessary to free the waters of New York from sewage was esti mated at enough to bring the total expenditure up to $37,113,390. TRAIN RAN WILD Traversed 19 Miles of Track Without a Guiding Hand. Bandits Looted Cars and Then Turned It Loose. Facklers, Ala., Jan. 24. Railroad detectives and deputy sheriffs, early today with bloodhounds began search for three men who last night looted the mail and express cars of a South ern railway passenger train near hear, and after starting the locomotive and the two cars on a wild run, disap peared on horses. The train ran without a guiding hand at the throt tle to Larkinsville, Ala., 19 miles away, where it stopped when the lo comotive went "dead." The two passenger coaches of the train were picked up early today by a train from Chattanooga, Tenn.. which brought the officers and dogs. The robbers obtained a sum estimated at $100 by blowing the express car safe. Their search through the mail car failed to produce anything, as only second class matter was in the pouches. No attempt was made to molest passengers. Those who ventured out when the train was halted were sent back by a patter of bullets. The bandits did their work in a lonely spot. Th locomotive and mail and express cars first were de tached from the passenger cc aches and run down the track a hundred yards. One -f the robbers guarded the engine crew and mail and express clerks while the other two robbed the car. DR. GRUBBS VERY LOW He Is Not Expected to Live Through the Day. Dr. L. Y.

Railroads in the Pittsburg district are waging vigorous warfare against tippling by their employees. J. B.

Except $75,000 Left In Hands of George Sharitt. "For Use in an Emergency," McPherson Says. Kansas City, Jan. 24. A final order turning over to the state receivers of the Kansas Natural Gas company all the properties of the company in Kansas and the complete operation thereof was made by Judge Smith McPherson in the federal court here today. The order ends a struggle for control of the gas "company's affairs, that has been in progress more than a year, between state receivers appoint ed by Judge Flannelly In the state court at Independence, Kan., and fed eral receivers appointed by Judge Pol lock. Judge McPherson concluded his or der with the statement he retained the right "again to assume control of the gas company properties at any time I see fit." "I shall give the Kan sas receivers a chance to see what they can do," said the court. "I shall keep my eye on the property and be prepared to assume control again t whenever I deem It necessary." i Judge McPherson accepted the) resignations as federal .receivers of. Eugene Mackay and Conway Holmes, Kansas City. George Sharitt or to peka, the third federal receiver, was retained because of the gas company's interests outside the state of Kansas. Funds amounting to more than $1,- 250,000 held by the federal receivers go into the hands of the state receivers as a result of the order. A fund of $75,- 000 was left in the hands of Sharitt, who continues to represent the federal court, "for use In emergency." Judge McPherson's order carries out a mandate issued by the United States circuit court of appeals in St. Paul last November, turning over the Kan sas Natural properties within Kansas to the receivers appointed by Judge Flannelly. HODGES WILL RUN For Governor Again, but Not U. S. Senate. Makes Definite Announcement Today of Plans. Governor George H. Hodges today announced positively that he would run for the Democratic nomination for gov ernor and for re-election to that of fice. He has been spoken of persistent ly for the past two months as a probable candidate for the United States senate, but his statement of to day puts a rest to all these reports. The governor said today that his formal announcement for re-election for gov ernor would appear inside of a week. REAL WINTER WEATHER Che Wind Today Is in Keeping with the Season. For the first time since Jan. 10, real winter weather is the order of things at Topeka. The day is clear and crisp, and the temperature is actually three degrees below normal for this day. Friday it was April weather that prevailed. The forecast calls for mostly cloudy weather with a slight drop in temperature tonight. Shippers' forecast: "Protect thirty six hour shipments north against tem perature of from five to ten degrees; east, ten to fifteen degrees; west, fif teen to twenty degrees, and south twenty to twenty-five." At two o'clock this afternoon the wind was blowing fourteen miles an hour from the north.

ROBBED DY CUSTOMER Grocer Is Made to Give Up $75 to Man with Gun. Kansas City, Jan. 24. After buy ing a pound of butter in a store here today and proffering a five dollar bill to pay for it, a man held up George Rehner, bne of the proprietors, ob taining $75 and the return of the bill. Rehner was alone in the store when C. V. Smith, Twenty-Five Tears Dis trict Judge, a Candidate. Charles W. Smith of Rooks county, who has earned an enviable record and had a remarkable career of 25 years Hon. Charles W. Smith, for Twenty Five Years on Bench as District Judge, Candidate for Justice of the supreme court, as judge of the district court, an' nounces his candidacy for Justice of the supreme court and will present his name before the judicial non-partisan primaries next August. A quarter of a century ago he was appointed judge by Governor Hum phrey; later reappointed by Governor Stanley at the unanimous request of the bar of his district. Again and again was he re-elected. Thousands of cases have come before him, very few appealed to the supreme court and an unusually small percentage reversed. He was for three years regent of the State university and was the first graduate of that Institution to serve as such. A remarkable incident in con nection with his belief in and loyalty to the Kansas university is shown by the facts that not only he and his wife are graduates of that college but that five or Bix of their children are also graduates. He Is an alumnus of the law school of the University of Mich igan. He has been president of the state bar association and for half a dozen years has been a Kansas member of the conference of commissioners on uni form state laws. He is modest, unassum ing and has a sturdy quiet dignity and has a natural ambition to round out his judicial career with a term on the su preme bench. SPEAKS FOR GOETHALS Mayor Mitchel Says Colonel Won't Accept Panama Job. New York, Jan. 24. If CoL George Goethals should be offered the posi tion as governor of the canal zone by the president he will not accept. This is the interpretation Mayor John Purroy Mitchel placed on Colo nel Goethal's present attitude toward the police commissionership of this city, which has been tendered him. "If language means anything," said the mayor, "Colonel Goethals will be come police commissioner of New York city, provided two conditions which he imposed are fulfilled. I ex pect these conditions to be realized." The mayor added that if occasion demanded he would go to Washington to see President Wilson on the matter and that he expected at any rate to get in touch with the president short ly. He had no official knowledge, he said, of any intention on the part of the president to offer Col. Goethals, the governorship of the canal zone, but he did expect that the president would grant the colonel's proposed request for retirement from the army. This he intimated would be the subject to be taken up with the president. The two conditions imposed by Col. Goa thals are his retirement from the army and the enactment of legislation which will give the police commission er power to remove subordinates without court review. "I have not asked the president to retire CoL Goethals as yet," said the mayor, in reply to a question, "but a expect to get in touch with him short ly." Mayor Mitchel was In conference with counsel today preparing a bill to be submitted to the state legislature giving the police commissioner the power Col. Goethals desired. GUARD SHOOTS SELF. Thought to Have Feared Court Mar tial on Perjury Charge. Leavenworth. Kan., Jan. 24. Pri vate Morgan C. Hall, a military pris on guard, shot and killed himself with an army service revolver in the prison corral today. Hall was to have been tried on a charge of perjury be fore the general court martial at Fort Leavenworth, and It is said rather than appear, he committed suicide. Hall is alleged to have testified falsely at the trial of Sergeant .William Watts. When guards went to escort j Hall before the examining body, they found his lifeless body. That the Weal of the People Is Supreme. Its Conscience Now Has Been Awakened, He Declares. New Haven, Conn., Jan. 24. An af firmative view of business was the keynote of a speech Secretary Red field made here today before the chamber of commerce. He praised American manufacturers for their ready readjustment to new conditions and declared that the flood of for eign manufactures which it was pre dicted would flood American markets, with the passage of the new tariff, had not materialized. "Aye, but you say, look at the de pression. Well look at it." said Mr. Redfield. "Look at it sanely, with out passion and without prejudice. What do you see? But before you answer let me ask a second question. Where are you looking? Get the horizon big enough, else your picture will be but partial and may mislead. Where then is trade depression found? In India, in Argentina, in Brazil, in Germany, in England. Where is It .least? In America. Where la the rising tide from such depression as exists felt first and most? Here in America. Leave aside the pitiful parables of the proph ets of evil who for political purposes preach national pain. Look calmly at the truth. Suffers from No Disaster. "America suffers from no disaster. She is better off when the worst is said than her sister nations. From the bottom, which at most was not deep, she has already risen far and is rising. There was just cause for hesitation in that which has hap pened in the past. The reaction from the Balkan war, which had tied the pursestrings of Europe and shut down Its mills, was naturally reflected here in some small degree. "It was perfectly proper that busi ness men, whose output was affected more or less by the new tariff, should give thoughtful heed how to readjust memqeives to it. Tlipy would have (Continued on page Six.) FEDS WANTQUIGLEY, Offer St. Mary's Coach Contract as Umpire May Not Accept. Manhattan, Jan. 24. If it was simply a money proposition with him Ernest J. Quigley, of St Marys, National League umpire, would call them in the Federal League this summer. The outlaw would like to have the St. Marys ruler. In fact, they want hlnV so much that they have flipped a juicy looking contract his way, calling for more of the stuff that counts than he can get in two summers working for John K. Tener. If Quigley didn't care to stav in organized baseball and would sign wltb the Federals, St. Marys would be more apt to get tne regional Dank than Kansas City, that is. if the Feds would live up to their agreement. Quigley says he received the bait from the Federal League heads a few days ago. In his reply to them he suggested that if they were so anxious to spend so much money they should go after men having more experience. But the Feds came back saying that a man who could jump into the National League and work behind the bat liht off the reel could work in their league. The bait didn't do the business, however, because Quigley says he expects to draw salary from the National League next summer. MUST BE VACCINATED Railway Man Clerks Will Have Submit or Lose Jobs. to Railway mail clerks working on trains running to and from Kansas City must either be vaccinated or quit their Jobs, buch is the substance of an order Issued bv the superintendent of railway mail ser vice, located at St. Louis. Mo. His order is that the clerks vaccinate immediately and report the vaccination to the chief i clerks of their divisions. The order has 1 been posted on the general order book in I the terminal railway postoffice in Kan- i sas city, wmcn all cieras are required to read before entering or leaving their runs. This action is the result of smallpox ap pearing in the terminal railway postoffice in Kansas City. As a result of the order P. D. Turner. 1176 Clay street, went to Dr. J. C. McGill. city physician, yesterday and was vaccinated. Turner is a mail clerk working on a train running into Kansas City. His chief clerk is D. B. Barnes, located at Wichita, and to him he must report the fact that he has been vaccinated. WANTS THEM TO STAY C. Commercial Club files Petition in Lumber Companies' Case. Jefferson City, Jan. '24.: John H. Atwood of Kansas City, representing the Kansas City Commercial club, to day filed suggestions with the su preme court en banc in behalf of the Kansas City Lumber companies that were fined and ousted by the su preme court Dec 26. Mr. Atwood filed his pleadings as a friend of the court and in behalf of the commer cial interests of Kansas City. The Commercial club of Kansas City, through its attorney, has pre pared and will file with the supreme court a petition praying that the de cree ousting the lumber companies from Missouri may be modified so that they may remain here. The peti tion recites that the club has .no dis position to criticise the decree of the court because that decree was com pelled by the law and the facts.'

Morgan for Bristow Now and White Against Him. Of more than thirty staunch Pro gressive Republican papers that made the fight for the nomination or sena tor Joseph L. Bristow six years ago. less than a half dozen of the number are now showing indications that they will favor the senior senator for re nomination in August. The other publications which made possible Bristow's defeat of Chester I. Long in 1908 are either lined up in the Progressive column and branding Bristow as a traitor to their cause, or view his return to the Republican ranks with mild concern. In 190S Bristow's big asset in the fight against Long was his newspa per support. It was the Kansas press that aroused the interest of the Kan- s voters, and it was the Kansas press which printed Long's record in a manner that proved his undoing in the first state-wide primary. But now the attitude of the press toward Bris tow has changed. The papers which were formerly wild in their enthusi- (Contlnued on Page- Six.) IN RACE TO STAY Major Harvey,. First to An- nounce, Will Finish. This Senator Candidate Strong With New Voters. Major A. M. Harvey of Topeka, the first Republican to announce for Uni ted States senator, will stay in the race to the finish. A State Journal reporter interviewed the major this morning. The major has already made speeches in different parts of the state and has invitations for further dates. He is a regular Republican and made the fea ture speech of the last campaign for Taft at the Independence state conven tion. Besides a large personal follow ing over the state, the Topeka lawyer was the first man of note in Kansas to take the stump for the woman's suf frage amendment. He campaigned with the women leaders over the rough part of their Journey and his strength with the new voters is sure to be a factor in the coming senatorial campaign. Then also the major has no members of the factions looking for him with a knife. In his interview today the major said: "I have been some lonesome running for senator all by myself. I never thought the time would come when It would be up to me to welcome Bristow and Curtis to membership in the Re publican party. But so it is and I sure hope that their stay will be pleasant and that peace will abide with them. "The Republican party must be con servative in ail things and progres sive. It will stand fast and standpat to preserve the institutions that make this a land of liberty, and the parties and the men now striving to turn our form of government into a bureau and commission system will have to fight the Republican party. "At the same time the party will stand for every measure that will help men and women and children and bring us nearer to the Ideal of our nation the equality of men. "The selection of the nominee for United States senator is not going to be a 'killing affair.' Bristow can make a good campaign for the party and be riM-teri ftn ran r-r. unjt. bids that I suggest what I can do but i ,l report without recommendation la I am' still in the race and in strong tep- and I am sure to have the best time of any of us and I may have the most votes." NEW MAN IN RACE. Sam Martin After Republican Nomi nation for North Side Commissioner. The political situation in the north commissioner district in which a com missioner will be elected this year was further complicated today by the announcement that Sam Martin, who for many years ran a livery stable in North Topeka, will be a candidate for the Republican nomination. Mr. Martin is a young man who was born in Silver Lake township in this county. He has lived in North To peka for 15 years. He sold his livery barn last fall and is now in the horse buying business with Rome Colvin. There are three othtr candidates for the Republican nomination already in the field and the indications are that there will be a merry battle for the Republican nomination. The Demo crats have twice carried the commis sioner district and elected Frank Simms. whose personal popularity car ried him through, but Mr. Martin is quite as popular as Mr. Simms, and if Mr. Martin wins the nomination Mr. Simms will have more difficulty than he has ever had if he wins his old place on the board. CULLOM IS WEAKER. All Advantage From Friday's Has Been Lost. Rally Washington, Jan. 24. The condition of former Senator Shelby M. Cullom again is critical. A rally after a sink ing spell yesterday renewed hope that life might' be prolonged, but he grew weaker during tne night. To Expedite Bill Giving Fed- eral Aid to Roads. Harmony Program on Trast! Bills Is Agreed Upon. Washington. Jan. 24. The Postof fice appropriation bill, carrying a rec ord breaking total of 105,000.000, was passed today by the house. It Includes an amendment which extends to post- of.ice clerks, letter earners, rural tree delivery carriers, mounted letter car riers and postoffice messengers, for injuries received on duty, full salary for one year after injury, with an additional half salary for another year if necessary and a $2,000 lump sum... payment in case of death. Special rules to expedite tne tsumeic immigration hill fixing a literacy teat and the Shackelford bill for $25,000,000 federal aid to state road construction, were reported today by the house rules committee. An attempt win oe made for action on the immigration bill rule early next week. Questions between congressional committees, over jurisdiction on the) administration trust Mils, were ail composed today, at conferences oC leaders. A harmony program wan completed and it was agreed that not. only heads of executive departments were to be consulted freely on the new bills, but that congressmen, who are not members of the committee handling the measures, should be con suited to develop free exchanges oC views. Plans for hearing for business men and others are taking form. He Was Too Modest. Captain J. K. Kiah, a veteran of th life saving services on Lakes Huron and Superior, refused today to obey the orders of the senate commerce committee. His reason was modesty. With a dozen other grizzled veterans of the sea and lakes he was at the hear ing on the Townsend bill, to consoli date the revenue cutter service and life saving service. When asked to tell something of the activities of the life savers at the time of the lake storms last November, Captain Kiah replied that he did not know much about it having been in the hospital at the time. Senator Townsend asked him why he was in the hospital. "I Just found it necessary to have a little operation," he replied quietly. The committee was about to proceed when Captain EL K. Chapman, another Old life saver, sprang to his feet and with his arm around Captain Kiah, said: "My friend is a modest man. but I'll tell it. Years ago he was the only man to Teturn alive out' of the boat load of heroes who saved the lives of 1 men and two women in a terrible wreck off Point Aux Barques." Then it was that Captain Kiah was asked to tell the story and he refused. "I could not do It." he said, as team flooded his eyes. WOMEN LOSE AGAIIl. Suffrage Defeated by Tie Vote In Hi Committee. Washington, Jan. 24. Woman suf-, fragists met another defeat today, when the house rules committee by a tie vote, 4 to 4, failed to report a reso lution for the. appointment of a stand ing suffrage committee. Representa tive Lenroot, Republican of Wisconsin, Representative Foster, Democrat, Illi nois; Representative Campbell, Re publican, Kansas, and Representative Kelly, Progressive of Pennsylvania, voted in favor of the report. Repre sentatives Hardwick of Georgia; Pou of North Carolina; Cantrill of Ken- tucky, and Garrett of Tennessee, Dem ocrats, voted against it, Lenroot then moved to report the bill without recommendation and all five Democrats voted to postpone ac tion on this motion.

A bomb outrage believed by the police to have been carried out by militant suffragettes today destroyed the extensive con servatory in the Glasgow botanical gardens, known as the Kibble Crytal palace. The great glass roofs and sides of the structure were blown to pieces. Many valuable plants were ruined.

2 IS BEST III YEARS Showing in Building Permits This Month Is Remarkable., They Aggregate $60,000 Last January but $22,000. INFLUX OF POPULATION HEAVY Many Families Moving Here, Say the Transfer Men. Numerous Topeka Properties Hare Changed Hands. A remarkable showlnghas been made In building permits this month. Per mits have been Issued from th- office of the city fire marshal with almost midsummer regularity. To date they aggregate approximately $30,000 a; against 121.917 In the entire month of January last year and $42,955 in 1912. The big item In the list of permits Is $17,500 for the two story brick and stone Are station on the North side. Four permits were issued for the erection of apartment houses at a cost of $16. 000. Nine of the twenty-five permits were for the construction of dwellings at an aggregate expenditure of $20,000. The moderate weather undoubtedly has had much to do vith the showing made In permits. However, it Is evi dent that alleged money tightness is not troubling the people of Topeka to any great extent. It Is but another In dication that the city is growing. And this Is likewise proved by reports from the local transport companies who han dled the household goods of sixty fam ilies In the last month families mov ing to Topeka. No Room for Outsiders. The mild weather has made it pos sible for contractors to push their work to a greater extent this winter than has been the case for several seasons. This has given employment to a large number of men who would otherwise have been out of work. Even at that, there are now more workmen In Topeka than there are jobs.

Bradstreefs says: "ontiviii financial. Industrial. and commercial Is better than a week or a month ago. Apparently tne pres idential message has helped to clear the economic atmosphere and business Is more disposed to go ahead. The fact is that further actual, as opposed to sentimental, improvement has come to pass within the week and in its gen eral aspects, the betterment seems cumulative. "Bank discounts in most of the pre dominantly commercial "countries of the world are lower, thug releasing funds for commercial enterprise. The marked success of New York state's $51,000,000 bond issue evidences a plenitude of money for investment and the return of confidence in high grade issues; activity being accom rjanied bv higher prices for stocks 1b encouraging, while money for commer cial uses is in broader request ana rates are lower. On the Industrial side there is more work available. Demand for Iron and steel continues to reflect improvement and operations are In- creasing. There is less talk of Idle ness." Bank Clearings.

They All Favor a Regional Reserve Bank at Kansas City. Kansas City, Jan. 24. Governor George H. Hodges of Kansas, and for mer Governor W. R- Stubbs of Kan sas appeared before the committee of the organization-' of the new federal reserve system and urged the estab lishment of a reserve bank at Kansas City. Governor Hodges told Secre tary of the Treasury McAdoo and Secretary of Agriculture Houston that if there was any delinquency in the state laws of Kansas which would prevent state banks from coming into the reserve system, the next1 legisla ture would remedy It. He said that Kansas had shown a normal increase in business last year of $240,000,000 and that most of this money had been handled through Kansas City. Former Governor Stubbs told the committee that the southwest looked to Kansas City for its financial needs and that the financial needs of Kan sas would not be served by a bank lo cated west of Kansas City. Topeka Banks at K. O. John R- Mulvane, a Topeka, Kan., banker, was asked by Secretary Mc Adoo where Topeka did Its banking business. "We do 95 per cent of it In Kansas City," he replied. "And the other 5 per cent?" quer ied Secretary Houston. "In New York you know people die out in Topeka occasionally and we have to collect their life insurance." E. L. Copeland, financial agent of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe rail road, told the committee he collected $3,000,000 a month through 800 banks' and that 90 per cent of it was through Kansas City banks. Charles M. Sawyer, Kansas state bank commissioner, said of the 930 state banks, 900 of them kept ac counts in iiansaa city. He said 80 per cent of the business of northern Kansas went to Kansas City and 20 per cent to Chicago. ANCIENT GLOBE TROTTER. Old Marco Polo the First to Give Eu rope ileal Knowledge of Orient.

Boy and Girl Who Were Adopt ed In 1881. Girl Married Now and Lives in Another State. There Is a man and a woman, happy but without knowledge of their par ents, who live in a far awry state. They have reached the age where thoughts often drift back to a longed for memory of a home and a fireside and the care of a father and a. mother. Possibly you can help them out. In the year 1881. a boy and a girl were adopted from the Kansas orphan home at Leavenworth. The boy was 5 years old and the girl 2 or 8. The boy's name was Allen McLouth and the girl, Nora McLouth. Court records show that they were supposed to come from Topeka, but this is not certain. TLey might have been from Dodge City or Lawrence. Anyway, they were from one of the three cities. The records say, also, that the par ents of these children separated and the children were left behind. They were taken to Leavenworth. A. C. Sherman of Rossville signed the re linquishment papers. He is now dead. In the documents he stated that he was guardian for the girl, Nora Mc Louth. The witnesses signing the adop tion papers in Leavenworth were F. S. Thomas. W. H. Richards and Dr. (or D. A.) Harvey. The foster parents of the hoy. Allen, live in Topeka. Now these two children grown up. or course, and the girl married want to know something about their parents. They have hunted for a clue for years. They take this means of gaining Information. Address tne state Journal. M'GARTER AT HEAD. Mected President of Forensic Club at Last Meeting.

Investment Buying Larger Than for Many Months. New York. Jan. 24. There was a marked Improvement In feeling in the financial district this week, to which the stock market responded with a strong upward movement. The vol ume of business increased. largely. OI THE REAL especial significance was the amount of Investment buying of bonds and high grade stocks which reached pro portions greater than at any time within many months. The change in the security market reflected betterment in fundamental conditions. President Wilson's mes sage to congress regarding anti-trust legislation relieved the market of un certainty as to the attitude of the ad ministration, and the tone of the mes sage was regarded as encouragement. Improvement in monetary condi tions was shown by the accumulation of funds at this center, lower rates for money and reduction in discount rates of foreign banks. The change for the better investment market was indicated by the striking success of the New York state's $51,000,000 issue of per cent bohds and their subse quent rapid resale by the successful bidders. Sentiment was more hopeful in re gard to the outlook for business. While in many lines no marked im provement was discernible, there were changes for the better in some cases. From the steel and copper trades came optimistic reports. Piles Cored in to 14 Bays Druggists refund money If Paso Ointment fails to cure Itching. Blind. Bleeding or Protruding Piles.

Decreasing stocks northwest of Chicago tended also to help the bulls. The opening, which varied from c off to a like advance, was followed by a material gain all around. Despite bullish harvest advices from Argentina, the advance here was checked by assertions that the rise had shut off export sales. The close was firm. He to 14c above last night. CORN Corn sympathized with the wheat strength. More seasonable temper atures counted, too, against the bears. Prices after starting unchanged to 18c higher, scored a decided gain.

Approximately 112,000 of the $15,000 fund needed to purchase the Free Methodist seminary aite which Abilene offers to donate to secure the college, has already been raised. Four subscription committees have been organized by the Commercial club and they are campaigning the town in a systematic manner. The town Is divided into four sections and each committee campaigned in its giv en territory. Almost every citizen who can afford it is contributing to the cause and the remaining 13,000 will undoubtedly be secured. Secretary Poe devised a scheme that Is attracting popular favor. He con structed a large recording thermom eter which indicates the amount of the college fund. Whenever the sum Is increased the tape ascends through the medium of a little red paint and the figures on the thermometer show the exact amount secured. ENTIRE FAMILY POISOXED. Believed to Have Been Caused by Eat ing Cold Roast Beef. Mulvane, Kan., Jan. 24. Taken ill .hiu .AKAni hovo Mori Wells. 12- T. lllk III IIUl'l 1 V- t year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. B. i.. Wells,- who resides eight miles south west of Mulvane, attempted to reach his home about one mile distant from the school house and fell unconscious in the road. He was found a few minutes later by a mailman who car pied him to a nearby farmer's house and aid was summoned. A few minutes after the boy had left the school house for his home, his 14-year-old sister and 9-year-old brother were taken ill. About the same time the children's father, R. E. Wells, who was in Mulvane on busi ness, was stricken ill on the street. He was taken to a physician's office who declared the ailment ptomaine poison- '"m Wells, who had accompanied her husband, was notified by neigh-' bors of the illness of her children and she hired an automobile and with a doctor hurried to her children. The doctor upon examining them found that they also were 111 with ptomaine poison. Antidotes were administered and the bodies of the children, which had grown cold and slightly stiff, came back to the normal condition. The children were removed to their home in an automobile and are reported to be recovering. It is not known definitely what poisoned the family. For breakfast they ate cold roast beef with mustard which is thought to have been the cause. SCHOOLS COXSOM DATED. Three Districts Effected First In Lincoln County. Lincoln. Kan., Jan. 24. A short time ago three school districts. Vesper. Old Vesper and South Ireland, voted to consolidate and obtain some of the graded school benefits. It was hoped at first that the North Ireland school would also Join with the others, but after trying to get a majority of voters in that district to declare them selves in favor of it, each time being a failure, the three others decided to undertake the work alone. Bonds for the erection of a first class, modern school building to cost at least $13,000 will soon be voted, and all the grades and a first class high school will be instituted. This is the first time that a township or a consolidated district has taken the privilege granted by law to maintain a high school. W. B. Middlekauf has agreed to furnish the building stone. STARTED FIRE WITH OIL. Barton County Boy Painfully Burned May Recover. Great Bend, Kan., Jan. 24. George Zieber. the 19 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Zieber, of Pawnee Rock, is lying in a critical condition as the result of burns received Thursday. He had gone to the farm south of the river, near the Grant Flick place and while attempting to light a fire with coal oil, his clothing caught fire. He immediately ran out of the house and about 60 yards to a water tank in which he Jumped to extinguish the flames. The run through the yard increased the fiames to such an extent that the flesh on parts of the back, arms and legs was literally cooked and about half the surface of the body was burn ed. The flesh on the legs is charred. BONNER SPRINGS CASE. Members or Posse That KiUed Har vey Get Preliminary Hearing. Kansas City, Jan. 24. The prelim inary hearing of W. G.

NEAR RIOT IN LINWOOD. Townsmen Resist Arrest by Constable Submit to Sheriff. Tjavfnworth. Kan.. Jan. 24. At 1 o'clock this morning the little town of Linwood, on the southern border of Leavenworth county, is engaged In a hunt for M. I. Little, who Friday evening, with his brother, Ir. W. T. Little, resisted arrest at the hands of J. H. Pennington, town constable. M I. Little is supposed to be armed and bloodshed is feared should he be en countered. Several days ago Dr. H. E. VanNoy of Linwood had trouble with the Lit tle brothers over the sale of a drug store. They were arrested and placed under a peace bond. Failing to fur nish the bond, Constable Pennington went to their home yesterday to re arrest them. They are said to have resisted the officer, barricading them selves in their home. VanNoy came to Leavenworth, where a warrant was issued for the Littles. Sheriff Larkin left here at 10 o'clock last night and about midnight arrested Dr. Little. Although a rifle stood in the room, he did not resist. While waiting for the sheriff, the house had been guarded by Constable Pennington and others, but M. I. Lit tle managed in some way to leave the premises unobserved. Sheriff Larkin sent Dr. Little here, accompanied by a deputy. The officer will remain at Linwood until morn ing, continuing the search for the missing brother. POLICE SCANDAL IN WICHITA. Mayor Refuses to Listen Until Written Charges 'Are Filed. Wichita, Kan., Jan. 24. Added to the duties that fall on Mayor Babb'a shoulders is an inquiry into his police department. Complaints made directly to the mayor and to Commissioner Campbell concerning the way the police depart ment has been handling law violations have stirred up a "hornet's nest" at city hall. So far these charges or complaints have not resulted in the calling of an investigation by the mayor. He has "rared back in the collar" because the complaints have not been in writing and backed by the signatures of those making the complaints. Members of the police department are considerably wrought up over what is going on. As no formal complaint has been filed against any one in particular the officers are a bit curious to know who will be called upon to defend himself. MORE WATER TESTS. Kansas University Will Pass on Qual ity of Railroad. Supply. Lawrence. Kan., Jan. 24. In accord ance with an order issued by the treas ury repartment, Professor F. R., Hesser has Just returned from a week's trip over the Rock Island and Union Pa cific railway systems, in which he made a collection of the various supplies of water- used In the passenger coaches. The samples have been brought to the university and will be analyzed in the state water survey laboratory under Professor C. C. Toung. The treasury department has issued an order, effective in all the states, that all water on passenger coaches must be tested and certified for purity by the various health authorities of each state. The water used by the rail roads in Kansas is being collected by the engineers for the state board of health. The trip by Professor Hesser was the first to be taken in Kansas. The work is being done under the supervision of the sanitary engineering department of the University, and will be done at actual cost to the railroads. RALPH FAXON QUITS.

HER FIRST CITY STORE Chicago Opens Establishment for Sell ing Goods at Cost. Chicago, Jan. 24. Chicago's first munic ipal store which the city council recently authorized with an appropriation of $25,000 and at which groceries are sold at cost to the poor, was opened today. If the market proves a success, meats and wear ing apparel will be sold and other stores will be opened in different sections of the city. '"The municipal market never will be open in 'paupery neighborhoods'," said Joseph Meyer, county agent, who is in charge of the enterprise, "because the county agent's office was created to give l rood stuffs and clothing to persons wlth J out funds. The municipal markets are to help working people practice ecenomy by purchasing their provisions at cost." misery foul gases, bad breath, yellow skin, mental fears, everything this is horrible and nauseating.

FRUIT MEN MEET Will Hold Big Convention in i Feb. 4-6. Sam Lux of This City Head of Organization. The Western Fruit Jobbers associa tion of America of which Samuel E.

This organization represents the fruit interests of the cities from the Mississippi valley to the Pacific coast. The question of a national speaker on the income tax and currency legisla tion will be discussed at the meeting. It is something of an honor for To peka to have one of its citizens at the head of the organization the scope of which is so broad. The officers of the organization are: President, S. E.

Goethels is now ready to accept the appointment as police commissioner of New York, under conditions, is said to have been due to Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, wife of the former president, more than to any one else. Col. Goethels was first approached on the subject by Mayor John Purroy MitcheL No direct of fer was made but the colonel made it known he would not accept. Mrs. Roosevelt visited Panama soon after Mitchel left and it is said learned that Goethals was considering the tenta tive offer made to him by the mayor. Mrs. Roosevelt at once became inter ested and talked with Col. Goethals about the New York police depart ment, recalling Mr. Roosevelt's ex perience when he was commissioner. She urged the colonel to reconsider his determination. Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Goethals also discussed the question. Mrs. Goethals, it is understood, is anxious to leave Panama for good and told Mrs. Roosevelt so, and it was on her suggestion that Mayor Mitchel was urged to send an emissary to Colonel Goethals. Mrs. Goethals came to New York on the same steamship with Mrs. Roosevelt when the latter re turned from Panama. Upon her arrival in New York, Mrs. Roosevelt communicated with Mayor Mitchel and told him there was a pos sibility that Colonel Goethals might accept the commissionership. The mayor immediately took up the ques tion with: George W. Perkins, with the result that Mr. Perkins went to Pan ama and has just returned with Goethals' conditional acceptance. The condition he named, and which Mayor Mitchel has announced he will make every effort to meet, is that a law depriving the courts of the power to review the dismissal by the police I commissioner of police officials be passed. Another condition named by Colonel Goethals was that he be re tired from the army in which he has served 34 years. The publication of Colonel Goethals' letter drew from Washington the statement that it was the understanding that President Wil son had all along intended to appoint the builder of the canal as first gov i ernor of the canal zone. BIBLE SCHOOL SERVICE Be Held Sunday at the First Christian Church. An elaborate service will be held by the Bible school of the First Christian church beginning at 9:40 o'clock with music by the Bible school orchestra. Special pro grams have been printed for the occasion, and an effort is being made to swell tne attendance.

General RICH III TIMBER, FISHERIES AND ONLY SCRATCHED THE SURFACE," SAYS -WIRT at V aides Bay, Alaska; Front street in laughed forty-five years before when Secretary of State Seward rewarded Russia's fidelity to the northern cause by purchasing an "ice-berg" for $7,- 200,000.00. But even the astute Seward builded better than he knew when he named his "ice-berg" Alaska. Alaska is an Eskimo term signifying "great." Alaska is great. Great in her history. great in the character of her pioneers, great In her undeveloped resources and great in her beckoning future. We did not want Alaska. Abraham Lincoln and William H. Seward be lieved it a terra incognita; but Russia needed money. She offered us this territory for ten millions of dollars. The United States congress felt a moral debt of gratitude to our "great friend," and this is the secret "motif" of the Alsakan purchase. The sum of $7,000,000 was the com promise, the J 200,000 going to the Russian-American attorneys who ne gotiated the greatest real estate tran saction on record. The rest is familiar history. The thrilling story of Lieutenant Schwatka's voyage on a raft down the 2,000 miles of the mighty Yukon; the discovery of gold by McQuestion at the confluence of the Klondyke and the Tukon; the rush of gold seekers in 1897-98; the hardships, the death, the stories of courage; the importation of reindeer; the part played by the half wild wolf dogs in the exploration of the land; the discovery of coal, copper, oil and fish; the greed of the vested interests; the gigantic scheme of Cun ningham, who arrived with four hun dred proxies in his vest pocket for coal claims; the swindle which would have been carried out but for Gifford Pinchot and Theodore Roosevelt; the withdrawing of the coal fields from location and the conservation of Alas ka's great mineral wealth, all this is the later romantic story of "Seward's Folly." When we have cut all the timber from Maine, Minnesota, Wisconsip and Oregon our lumbermen will trek to Alaska and find on the coastward flanks of the Aleutian mountains standing timber enough to build our homes for generations to come. When all the gold has been dug from California, Australia and South Africa the yellow stream which for ten years has been flowing from Alas ka to the tune of twenty millions per and special agents wanted. Write us. Assets $6,C0.C3 Nome; Lincoln Wirt. annum, will have only begun its flow. A man once told me he had walked from one bank of the Nushagak river to the opposite bank on the backs of the fish without getting his feet wet. When we remember that over one hundred million of dollars has come out of that land in its wealth of can ned salmon, alone, perhaps you will believe my fish story. When all the coal has been dug from Pennsylvania and West Virginia, then the great Mantaneuska and Bering coal fields, plus those yet to be dis covered in the same region, will be turning the wheels of the commerce of the world. Seal skins are becoming almost pro hibitive in price as the supply dimin ishes, but in Alaska men are learning a better way. Fur-bearing animals are being bred for profit, and many small islands along the coast are now given up to this profitable industry. And what shall we say of the cop per and oil and other mineral wealth which calls for brains, brawn and cap ital? Six hundred millions of dollars in wealth has come out of Alaska in the last twenty years, and we have only scratched the surface. America's Treasure House is hun gry for development.

COUTROL DRAIN Topeka Jack Johnson Says Coolness Required in Ring, Without It Success in Ring' Is Practically Impossible. is f.:ost muni asset Retires to tfanage Pool Hall and Enjoy Family. Kay Open Gymnasium for Teaching: Boxing. Topeka Jack Johnson has retired from the pugilistic activities and has engaged in running a pool and billiard parlor at 119 West Fifth street, but at that, he Just can't quit talking about the popular pastime. During his experience in the ring and as a trainer, Johnson has. learned one thing, and that is the necessity of perfect control of the mind, even when one is the target for a rain of blows from an opponent, or at any ether time, while engaged in a spar ring contest or even a prise fight. Johnson in an open letter to the public aays that without this ability, one cannot attain and retain highest hon ors of the ring, although it is possible for one to "get close." Jack Johnson has been engaged In the pugilistic game for several years but prefers the management of a pool and billiard parlor in Topeka and less money that he might enjoy the com pany of his family. He may add a gymnasium for instructions in phys ical culture and boxing in the future, but this is problematical at this time. The following is an open letter from him in which he discusses the re quired ability for champions In the squared ring: Necessities of a Champion. The greatest point and one of the most essential qualifications is simply "coolness." In using the word cool ness in this case, I refer to the man who Is level-headed, not excitable and one who will use good judgment to outscheme, outgeneral, then trick the other fellow, thus bringing about his defeat. That is the kind of man who will win. Considering everything equal, I might say that there are many strong, husky fellows to be found who hardly know their actual Strength. I will say that almost any of these men have the rough and ready endowments, and can strike as hard a blow as many of our present champions, in any class, but they have not the ability to use good Judg merit in emergencies. Coolness has made more champions than all other requirements or fight ing ability. While it is true that there are some champions who possess some of all the good qualities, there are many who do not. There have been champions who excelled in but one particular or point or quality, other than the brain. It is the cool headed fighter that reaches the top of his class and remains there. Some have approached but not quite reach ed the top by the slap-bang route, line Tom Sharkey, Gus Ruhlin, Peter Maher and many others I could men tion, but ever and anon they met their Inevitable defeat at the hands of a cooler master of the game. Carl Mor ris was a slap-bang fighter when he began his ring career and made a whirlwind dash toward the top, but he was set back by Jim Flynn, a man whom Morris could, no doubt, beat with ease today. Why? Simply be cause Morris has added coolness to the other good qualities which he always possessed. I will say there are men today in every division who might be come the champion of their respective class if they could master this all im portant element coolness. Nelson's Only Asset. Battling Nelson to my judgment, when real ability is considered, was the poorest excuse for a champion that I have ever seen. He was not a hard hitter, couldn't box well because he was always awkward and clumsy. Yet he beat them all. How did he do it? Well, he excelled all in taking a beating and punishment. Other than this fact he was cool as a cucumber, especially under fire. No matter by how much handicap or how much he had been pummeled during former rounds, he would simply duck his head and continue to stick on the Job until he outgeneraled and outgamed the other fellow by his coolness and steady plugging. And at last, away late, he would succeed in tricking the other fellow into defeat. As wise and foxy as was Joe Gans, Bat Nelson really beat him in this way and at Gans' own tricks, thus winning the world's lightweight championship title. It is difficult to say that the fighters of today, during this twentieth cen tury period, while everything is mod ern and improving, are not equal to the fighters of the past. Say 20 years ago. There were some good thinkers during those olden days. Of course, in those times, each fighter was com pelled and forced to depend upon his own judgment far more than he is required to do today. These Present White Hopes. I am not very much impressed with the present crop of white hopes (as the heavyweights are termed.) They are all there about on an equal when physical strength is considered, but as we have said before, mere strength will not always win and none of them appear to use a dime's worth of brains. So it leaves the heavyweight situation in a real muddle. Oh, but what a bright chance and future for any young man who possesses brains and coolness as well as strength. How he could start and go through that bunch of present heavies. Harris Laundry 1123 Kansas Ave. A saving to you of 33 H Per cent by bringing your laundry and call by it.

MANY GUARBIAIIS SACK FAILED TO SHOW OLD TI"E Wy-Ff 111 Larry Doyle (left), DerrlU A rascally wild-eyed Jinx camped long and late on the trail of most all the big league second Backers last season. In both of the major leagues the guardians of the second sack were victims of a cold Implacable hoodoo. In the American league the Tanks, the White Sox and the Tigers suffered particularly. A number of promis ing youngsters were discovered who showed more than ordinary aptitude for gamboling around second but scarcely enough of them to discount the ravages of the jinx. Larry Doyle and Johnny Evers, the two leading second basemen of the National league, managed to play through the season untouched by the ravenous Jonah except in the way of batting averages. Dick Egan. how J. REIFF AT HOME World's Greatest Jockey Is Visiting in Wichita. Hero of Race Track Meets His Boyhood Friends. Wichita, Jan. 24. Johnny Reiff of France, one of the world's famous jockeys, who formerly lived in Wich ita, and family are the guests of his brother. Aimer A. Relff, here. Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Reiff have been visiting Mr. Reiff's parents in California and stopped off here to visit Mr. Reiff's brother. They will soon return to France, where Mr. Reiff's interests are and where he won much o his fame as a jockey. Johnny Reiff, World's Famous Jockey, Visiting Old Home at lemta. Mrs. Reiff was Marie Denman, whose English father has long had charge of the largest stable of racing horses on the continent, that of Ed mond Blanc owner of Monte Carlo. Has Earned Vast Sums. At the time of his marriage in 1906 Johnny Reiff was riding for a mem ber of the French Jockey club at a salary of $35,000 a year. He had been riding in England and France about eight years before his marriage. He is only 28 years old, having mar ried when he was 21. He rode for two seasons in America before going abroad, winning more than 100 races, including thirty-three on the Califor- inia tracks in 1898. He won four plates worth $20,000 and several 5,000 plates for his French employer. When Johnny Reiff was 15 years old he was making $25,000 a year in England. He weighed then only 72 pounds and was .the youngest and lightest weight jock ey in the world. So spectacular was his success that the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Marlborough be came his patrons. He was not only childish but bashful. This was illus trated once when the English women Pratt (center), Rolla Zeider (top right) and Ray Morgan. ever, Cincinnati's prominent second sacker, played most of the season as a utility inflelder and was replaced at second by Groh, a clever recruit the Reds had secured from Dayton. Der rill Pratt of the St. Louis Browns was such a failure that Manager Rickey shifted him to first base. The Boston Red Sox asked waivers on Steve Yerkes, world's series hero of 1912, but were finally obliged to keep him as there was no one to -fill his place. Nap Lajoie, the Cleveland veteran, was out of the game a month with an Injury but managed to return and finish the season with a brilliant record. Griffith's favorite .second baseman, Ray Morgan, was out of the Washington line-up a big part of the season with illness or accidents. Rol lie Zeider with the White Sox and later with the Yanks was scarcely tried to Hobsonize him. It all started one day when Johnny had made a vic torious finish with Uncle Marc, a no torious horse which had nearly killed several riders. A Victim of Kissers. Pluckily the boy fought with the beast, cowed it, and though some of his competitors had gained a consid erable lead, he forced his mount out in front before reaching the wire. Slipping easily from the back of the winner, Johnny was about to get into a robe and run to the stables, when from the crowd rushed a magnificent ly dressed woman, who, before the boy knew what she was about, clasped him in her arms and gave him a resounding smack right on the lips. He struggled free and blushing violently, made his escape. But the fad was started and for a year or two, Johnny led a miserable existence try ing to avoid the kissers. In 1900 Johnny Reiff and his older brother, Lester, who was also a noted and successful jockey, enjoyed a very profitable season in England. Johnny received $250 for every race and some days rode as many as four races. An Interesting Incident. Here is a story of what took place on the track at one time as told by Johnny Relff: I was just about to mount Knick erbocker when the Duchess of Marl borough, whom I had met before, came up and said she wanted to introduce me to the Prince of Wales. This is little Relff, your royal highness,' she said. The prince said, 'I am pleased to see you,' and shook hands with me just as any American might do. He then asked me my weight, age, etc." Writing home from England to his mother one season, Johnny told of winning a race for the Prince of Wales with stakes worth $50,000. When Queen Victoria died Johnny cabled from Wichita his condolence to the man who became king at her death, and in reply he received a cable in which the king addressed him as "My dear little Johnny," and subscribed himself, "Your friend and comrade in the old days." In 1S07 Johnny Reiff won the English derby for Richard Croker and his name was flashed the world over along with the winning horse. Childhood in Wichita. Johnny Reiff lived in Wichita from the time he was 2 years old until he was 12. Prior to that time Lester Reiff had done some riding In Wichita but he took Johnny to New York and began to train him as a jockey. He soon evinced genius for the mount. Lester is living at Oakwood, Cal., and has a large estate. He had the faculty of saving his money and in vesting it wisely. Johnny is still riding, and he must reach home in February in order to go into training. He tries to keep his weight down to 112 pounds. He sends his surplus funds to Lester every year and he has a substantial fortune wisely invested. This is Mrs. Reiff's second visit to Wichita, her first being five years ago. Wonderful Cough Remedy. Dr. King's New Disccovery is known everywhere as the remedy which will surely stop a cough or cold. D. P.

Larger Towns Will Try "Hog" the Holidays. to Omaha, Neb., Jan. 24. One of the merriest little baseball scraps ever perpetrated In this part of the land is anticipated by Pa Rourke and other baseball magnates when the Western League meeting is held next month for the purpose of adopting a 1914 sched have prepared a schedule which will have prepared a schedule wihch will give the home club every holiday date ana a surplus of Sundays and Satur days at the expense of the other clubs. and it will only be after vociferous outbursts and threatened desertions irom the league that the representa tives of the various ball clubs will be content to return to their native heath with an endorsed schedule in ineir poQKets. Another source of argument will be' the long and short schedule plans. From Sioux City comes an outburst of eloquence to the effect that President Hanlon of that club had, through his own marvelous business foresight, suc ceeded in impressing on the other club owners that each had guaranteed to accept the shorter schedule. Wichita and Topeka also seem to advocate the shorter season, while Holland, Isbell, McGUl and Rourke are stronger for the longer season. Wichita, Topeka and Sioux City are in no position to make demands. In those cities the amount of capital invested in baseball is much lower than that investor in Omaha, while St. JoseDh. Tiv.n Mninu and Denver and the owners of the lat ter ciuos ask that they should be given preference as to the business management of the league because they have more at stake. But the oth ers can't see it that way and they will come to Omaha to the meeting with the firm intention of creating a dis turbance if they can't have their own way about it. The meeting will be held in this city some time during the first two weeks in February. There is some dispute as to the location of the meeting around the circuit. It has been one or tne primary objects of discussion among sport scribes. Most magnates and most sport writers admit that they are not positive where the meet ing will be -held, but latest advices from headquarters indicate that the secretary for Tip O'Neill, who is tour ing the world with the Giants and Sox, will Issue a call presently for a meet ing in this city.

I Arthur Irwin.1 representing the New York club management, had long Inter views with Sweeney and Zeiaer, but neith er came to terms and Irwin, it is said, left last night for Texas without coming to any agreement with them. It was ru mored that both players had left the fold of organised baseball to accept flattering offers from the Federals, but confirmation of these rumors was lacking by the mag nates directly Involved. Organized baseball scored a point in the war for players by announcing that Pitch er Lelivelt had signed with the Cleveland Americans. This announcement was of ficially confirmed. The growing strength of the Federal League was discussed at the meeting of the American Association but no informa tion to combat the encroachments of the new league. If discussion of George Te beau's player pool proposition came up, no announcement was made of It. It was learned late Friday that the Federal League leaders will meet in Co lumbus next Monday to confer with Cin cinnati people, who want a franchise. WOLGAST A VICTOR. Defeated Joe Rivers In Ten Round Bout in Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Jan. 24. Ad Wolgast of Cadillac, Mich., former lightweight champion, had the better of Joe Rivers of Los Angeles, Cal., in a fast ten round bout here last night. From the tap of the gong to the end the men fought each other all over the ring, with the Michigan boxer doing most of the leading. It was this con tinual boring in and clever Infighting which gave Wolgast his second victory over the Callfornian. Ad Wolgast. Wolgast gained a clear lead early and Rivers was never able to overcome it. although he fought at top speed. Woi gast had the better of the second, third. ninth and tenth rounds, while Rivers gained shades in the fourth and eighth. The other rounds were even, but each man had to keep busy at all times to hold his own. Rivers bled profusely throughout the match. Ad split his opponent's hose and mouth in the second and kept pep pering away at the cuts during the mill. Twice during the fight Wolgast went to the floor by missing swings and each time Joe fell on top of him. Once they wrestled with Referee Stout in the mid dle of the ring and Wolgast almost went through the ropes. Wolgast's ability to block and the use of both hands when at close range was excellent. Rivers showed to an ad vantage at long range but he could not land often enough to defeat the Mich igan man. Both were hissed at times for rough tactics. SPORT FOR CONVICTS, Prisoners in Colorado Penitentiary Build Field for Own Use. Dener, Jan. 24. A six acre baseball and athletic field built for and by con victs with accommodations for the gen eral public as well as convicts, is the latest reform in prison management plan ned by Thomas Tynan, warden of the Colorado state penitentiary. "To build up a man mentally and moral Ir.' said Tynan in announcing the in novation today, "I know from experience you have to build him up physically. The ball players and athletes who are to be allowed to use the field are those who cannot be trusted to work In the road gangs at the prison ranches. Per mission to use the field must be earned by good conduct which will be marked by the presentation of an honor button. The button admits the bearer to the field or to the grandstand.

Previous to the parture of Jlmmle McGlII from Denver, the smaller teams were given equal con sideration for the reason that MeGlll felt compelled to vote with the Kansas towns to protect his own interest, thus avoiding being crowded out of the circuit. Now that he has left Denver, it is Impossible to determine how the new management will line ud. However, it Is thought hat the new management will assume the same attitude as taken by McOlll. Take it from us. they had better do so. If the magnates in the larger towns combine against the smaller towns, no doubt but that they will succeed in wreck ing the league.

Katterfeld, of Chicago, will lecture at the Imp theater. 111 East Sixth street, Sunday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock. "How to Get What You Want" is the rather alluring title of his ad dress. Mr. Katterfeld has toured the country from coast to coast and from border to border as a lecturer for the Socialist party, and on account of the experi ences collected and the zeal and ability displayed was placed in charge of the other lecturers and street speakers maintained by the Socialist party, be ing for two years manager of. the Na tional Socialist Lyceum bureau, the business of which is to arrange speak ing dates for the party's speakers. While Mr. Katterfeld has spoken in practically every part of the United States, it is doubtful whether he ever addressed an audience with, which he was more in touch than he will be in Topeka. for he spent many years here working his way through Washburn college by carrying State Journals, fir ins furnaces ana aoing anything ne could do to make ends meet. But during all the time ne was in college he al ways found a little time to study and talk socialism, and there never was a time that "Katter," as his friends all called him. was too busy for an ar gument on socialism.

SILOS DOT STATE They Are Found in All One Coaaty. bat Kansas Farmer Census Shows 6,978 Are In Use. SOLUTE CTOCX INDUSTRY Silos Are ReToIntlonizIng Farming In Kansas. Great Strides Hare Been Made In Three Tears. The silo is revolutionizing the farming industry of Kansas! Neces sity has driven the agriculturists of the state to build silos. The prices of forage and grain rose to such a de cree that there was little profit In feeding. Many farmers actually lost money for a few years, and some of them went out of business. Then came the silo "craze" and today, ac cording to a census taken by the Kan sas Parmer, there are 6,978 silos of all kinds in use in the state, more than ninety-five per cent of which have been built In the last three years. The shadow of the silo is cast on more than three thousand Kansas farms. Anderson county leads in number of silos 4S8. There are 305 in Sumner county in the extreme south, and Reno has an even three hundred. There are 118 in Shawnee county. There is just one county in the state which has no silos. That is Stanton connty in the southwest. The accom panying map, which was prepared at the Kansas Farmer office, tells a story of Kansas development. Figures for nineteen of the counties are conserv ative estimates; exact figures were not available. "King" Corn Deposed. There is not a county in the state that will not grow silage. As a silage crop corn was "king" up to two or three years ago. The sorghums, how ever, have deposed corn, for the rea son that the value of the silage is practically the Bame as corn and the sorghums, because of their drouth-resisting characteristic, will produce abundantly In seasons when corn fails. 'I he dairy department of the Kan sas State Agricultural college began a aeries of experiments two years ago to ascettain the value of sorghums for silage. In many sections of the state the yield of the sorghums, such as kafir and sweet sorghum, is much larger than corn. It was considered that if these plants could be used in the form of silage they would be of great value especially to the farmers and stockmen of western Kansas, whore corn is produced with diffi culty. Interesting Experiments. the experiments showed that both cane and kafir silage 1b only slightly inferior to corn silage for milk pro duction. ijast winter experiments were con ducted In wintering calves at the Ka.isas experiment station. The ex periment showed these things, briefly: Tli at kafir silage and cotton seed meal returned the largest profit in calf feeding, that sweet sorghum silage and cotton seed meal was next in pro fit making value, and, finally, that kafir and sorghum, which will live through almost any kind of year when corn and other things wither and die, will make excellent silage for winter feeding. Added to this is the fact that even after the corn has failed, kafir and sorghum will still thrive mightily and make good silage. It Is Indeed the f aimers' feed insurance. In the experiment just ended It cost 12.66 to produce a ton of kafir and cane silage. Corn silage cost $3 a ton to produce. lias Stimulated Dairy Industry. The silo has already done much to stimulate interest in dairying in Kan sas and it will do even more. It is generally admitted that live stock farming is the most profitable type of general farming in Kansas as else where. An editorial published in Kansas Parmer is to the point. It reads in part as follows: "The silo will come near doubling the live stock carrying capacity of every Kansas farm without encroaching upon the acreage of cash market crops grown. This is because an acre of corn, kafir or cane, when placed in the silo, will produce near double the amount of animal growth or grain as compared with the same acre of feed saved in any other way. It is for these and other Silos on Prosperous I ii i S. .reasons that the alio is economical. j pacity of th farm la now regulated by the pasture acreage. Good paaturea outside of the tame grass sections are rare in Kansas Thousands of acres of land are practically idle because they produce so small an amount of grass. The fact is that the best remaining wild grass pastures supply a maximum of feed only during May and June be fore and after these months the animal is on a short ration, even during the pasture season. When on pasture or during the feeding season, the animal is not kept at a maximum of profit unless it gets all tne gooa reea it neeas au i the time. Under the present system if the animal is not well fed when on pas ture, or if the pasture acreage required is two or more times as great as need be, then the waste is recklessly ex pensive." P. I 3.

Mow would you like to live in a two-by-fout shack three miles from nowhere, with nobody for company but a dog?

This young man is from Topeka. bis par- Map Showing Distribution of 6,978 Siloa in Kansas. ents arc here and he has a good home, but for reasons of his own he prefers th country. A Topeku woman, the grandmother of this young recluse, owns an 80 acre farm nine miles from town, and three miles from the nearest railroad sta tion. There are no buildingj on the place, and the nearest neighbor Is a quartei of a mile away. Three months ago a small consignment of lumber was sent out and hauled to the place by a farmer who lives near. Then ca-ne the youngful hermit and he "builded for himself a home in the wilderness." His house is about six feet lo:ig and four feet wide, there is stove inside which takes up all but enough room in which to sleep. The boy does not work on the farm, but he does occasionally chop wood for the man who lives on the adjoin ing farm. He spends some of his time in hunting, as is borne out by the mute testimony of numerous rabbit tails lying on the ground around the shack. The rest of his time is occu pied by smoking and keeping his fire going. The writer and a couple of friends stumbled onto this hermit during a ramble through the country; and an overpowering curiosity Impelled them toward the door. A furious solo of barks and growls followed our knock, and the door opened barely wide enough to permit the exit of our in voluntary host. He was dressed in overalls and jacket and was followed by a little white dog. He closed the door and stood looking us over with out a word, while he rolled a ciga rette and the dog made suspicious ad vances toward our heels. "Do you live here?" he was asked. "Yep," was the answer. "I should think you would get lone some out here all by yourself," said one of the party. "O, I don't feel lonesome very often," he replied, "I have my dog, and lots of things to keep me busy." He was asked why he was staying there but he would not answer that question; only saying that he was loafing. Carl used good English and he seemed to be well educated and intel ligent. We talked with him for half an hour, but could find out nothing about him. He said that his only reason for staying there was his love for the country. S. M. Z. His Fingers Blown Off. Lacrosse.

To overcome this, several of the coun ties have treated their water-bound macadam roads with a light oil. To make this satisfactory it requires about two treatments per year, which materially increase the maintenance charge. Where the traffic is heavy on these macadam roads and careful record of the first cost and maintenance charges are kept, it is found that the best macadam road costs practically the same as concrete roads. "There is ho question but that brick roads such as they are building in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Tork are the most permanent roads we can build, but the first cost makes them practically prohibitive for Kansas conditions. Concrete Not Expensive. "However, with our comparatively cheap cement, sand and suitable ma terial for concrete aggregate, I be- lleve ,w,onJd be P0"1" to build very satisfactory concrete roads at a reasonable cost, and I am very anx ious to see some demonstration con crete roads built in a number of our counties as soon as possible. "I have already taken this matter up with the cement companies and the Cement Manufacturers' associa tion has expressed a willingness to do all they could to assist in this matter. I am not sure that they would, donate the cement outright, but I am satis fied that they will give very substan tlal assistance to a number of coun- of the dead man as Chancellor Day's ties desiring to build demonstration brother was revealed in a letter re concrete roads. j celved by the prosecuting attorney of "I have the matter of obtaining spec- f kagit county, from Chancellor Day ial reduced freight rates on highway which he asks that his brother s mst,Hi ..n ti, iirJ death be investigated.

"Most of the lime stones in Kansas do not make satisfactory wearing sur faces for macadam roads, nor would they be satisfactory for concrete roads, but they could be used In the bottom courses, and a good grade of the Joplin chats would make an excellent wear ing surface. The city of Atchison used Joplin chats In the concrete streets built during the past year, and con- tract has been let for the construction of a system of concrete drives here on the college campus, and it has prac i.ii Kui m Ai.tmt that .h.ta will be used for the wearing surface.

"With the assistance that can be gotten from the cement companies and on the Joplin chats, and the reduction in freight rates and possibly reduced rates on sand could be gotten, it seems to me that it w juld be a good propo sition to build a quarter or a half mile of concrete road as an experiment in your county the coming season. "I will be very glad indeed to have you present this matter to your coun ty board with the request that they write me frankly what they think of such a proposition. I wish to assure you that the college will be only too glad to assist you in any way possi ble in such an undertaking. "Concrete roads and streets are a success whore the work is properly done. Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin. Iowa, and Minnesota are doing a large amount of concrete highway work, Wayne county. Mich., has built about 70 miles, some of which has been in use under the heaviest kind of traffic for over four years, and is showing im i.nr wlL Milwaukee countv. WIsl. has built a large mileage of concrete which is proving very satisfactory, and by writing to the Wayne county high way commission for its annual reports some very valuable data on concrete i roads can be had free of cost. "It seems to me that with the large number of cement plants ia the state and the comparatively cheap sand and crushed rock, the concrete road would certainly be as satisfactory and as cheap in Kansas as any place in the country. "I am taking this matter up Kith a number of counties and am not sure that the cement companies would as sist in more than four or five counties, so that the first counties to take up the matter will be the one to get the most assistance. Golden Beit Meeting.

Indications are that there will be no auto show in Topeka this winter. While several of the local dealers would help back another enterprise of tne kind, the frigid weather exper- ienced while the show was in progress last year gave some or tne other deal ers cold feet which have not as yet been thawed out. Action favoring a show may still be taken but it is hardly likely.. Clarence Jordan, secretary of the Kansas State Automobile association, states that Interest in the motor or ganizations of the state, has increased recently, due posibly in part to the favorable weather conditions. There is much activity at Strong City and Wellington. Secretary Jordan has been asked to attend a meeting of the Beloit to Colby Cut-Off association at Stockton. February 2. Claude E. Nell, of 152?

Tomorrow j ..-.w wm... it. j" i6? de'Bnat5d M Child La bod day to be observed as has been the custom for the past ten years in regu lar and special church- services gen erally, but a new step has been taken by the national child, labor commit tee in calling upon teachers through out the country to observe next Mon day as Child Labor day in the schools. The main idea is to get children to think in their own behalf on the prob lem of child labor. To this end the national committee' has", been busily engaged for a month past in supplying teacners, as well as clergymen, with the latest phases of the movement j against child labor, and proposes -that ii cmpei exercises or at some specially designated period in Monday's school work teachers shall in some manner take up the subject of child labor with their charges. Interest taken in the matter is re flected in requests which have lately come in at the rate of over 100 a day for information, in reply to which the national committee has distributed quantities of pamphlets on the relation of child labor to education. Indications are that thousands of teachers will unite with clergymen in some sort of observance of the day. Since the first Child Labor day was observed in 1906, such striking progress has been made that the rank and file of states today have advanced beyond the standard of the most progressive ten years ago, according to Owen It. Lovejoy, general secretary of the na tional child labor committee. Laws Have Been Revised. The child labor laws of practically all states have been revised and improv ed; knowledge as to the condition of working children has been widely spread; the causes, effects and methods of prevention of child labor have be come matters of thorough scientific study and treatment; a uniform child labor law for the several states has been widely approved, and the federal government has put into successful op eration a children's bureau. "But." Secretary Lovejoy adds, "the white list of states with a really effec tive child labor law covering ten or more of the common occupations of children is still very short only 14 states In all, and even these leave cer tain kinds of work outside of the fourteen-year limit. "There are nine states which have not yet reached a 14-year age limit even for factory work; there is no state in the union that has attempted to get an age limit higher than 12 years for newsboys; and only seven states have reached a standard of 21 years age limit for night messengers. "Boys of fourteen or less are still employed at the peril of their moral and physical integrity in this night messenger work in a score of states. Iax Enforcement of Laws. "Agricultural work is still entirely unregulated outside of New Tork and Tennessee, and children of tender years are doing an adult's work in the berry fields and cranberry bogs. "Many states that have made child labor laws are not seeing that they are enforced, and the national com mittee is now engaged in a careful survey of the methods of administer ing the law in the different states. "The standard of inspection service is steadily rising, but we fall far be low the English. There are half a dozen states in which there Is no at l no, "tempt to enforce the child labor law. And there are RfJP" JTJj. tuajviuta is tiuiuuivueij Biiiail laical thorough state-wide inspection is physically impossible." The whole subject of the adminis tration of child labor laws is to be taken up at the national conference on child labor which will be held in New Orleans next March. Plans are also under way for celebration of the tenth anniversary of the organization of the national child labor committee which will be reached on April 14.

Chicago. Jan. 24. A Paris cable cram quoting Jack Johnson, the ne gro pugilist, as saying it cost him 125,000 to escape from Chicago where he had been convicted of violating the white slave act, brought forth vehem ent denials from the federal building today. Harry A. Parkin, special prosecutor for the government, said: "I never got a dollar from any one except the United States government In connection with the Johnson case. I was in Jack Johnson's saloon once and that was when I went to get Lu cille Cameron, now Johnson's wife, to start proceedings against Johnson. Johnson simply Jumped his bond that's all there was to that. Charles F. Dewoody, until recently Chicago representative of the depart ment of justice, said: "Johnson's charge is absurd, it is evident that Johnson had no reason to spend $25,000 or 25 cents to any one to get out of the country. Ev ery one knows how I trailed him and watched him to prevent his escape. It would have been foolish for him to give money to any one if he did so." Roy Jones, a levee district cafe pro prietor and friend of the fighter up to the time he testified against the defendent in the white slave case, de nied Johnson's allegation that he, Jones, acted as go-between for Par kin and Dewoody. !"I met Parkin just twice," Jones aid, "and that was during the John son trial. Jack is trying to get even with me for testifying against him." A federal grand Jury Is investigat ing various stories connected with Johnson's escape. Cancelled checks left behind by Sol Lewinsohn, a pro fessional bondsman, when he disap peared from this city, figure in the investigation.

Less than a half dozen papers I 1 V. arhlAh Mill- ported Bristow six years ago are now demanding his return to the senate. Papers Desert Former leader. Dell Valentine's Clay Center Times is one of the few papers that have stood firm in the faith. Valentine is clerk of the supreme court and his paper is noisy in its praise of Bristow and endorsement of the Bristow-Cap-per combination. The Jewell City Republican, one of the strong Bris tow papers in 1908, is now weak and wobbly and gives Bristow half-hearted praise. Then there is George Marble and the Fort Scott Tribune, counted as Bristow's life long friends. Even wucji sriaiuw o ouuvuumucui rie.1 him hni1r into the Renublican UZr w.rhi.'. Tiinw- I ing stronger than that of any other Kansas publisher. Marble is a Pro gressive and the Fort Scott Tribune has poked fun at Bristow's desertion of the Bull Moose cause that he might attend his own political funeral, as Marble sees it. Another staunch patriot was Gomer Davies of the Concordia Kansan. But Davies stayed with the Bristow record until he saw its author slink back among his old political enemies. Whereupon Davies emitted a sigh and his paper lined up in the Murdock column. Those are only instances. Case of White and Morgan. There is the strange case of William Allen White and W. Y. Morgan. Six years ago. White was more largely re sponsible for the nomination of Bristow than any one other man in Kansas. White was campaign manager, press agent, bill poster and advance agent for the Bristow boom. He wrote the series of articles entitled, "The Strange Case of Chester I. Long." and as a re sult of those articles Long was swamp ed in an avalanche of votes. W. T. Morgan defended Long and wrote the replies to the White attacks. Yet when Bristow came to Topeka three weeks ago to make public his announcement as a tried, true and con sistent Republican, W. Y. Morgan came with him to sing the song of harmony. It was the same W. Y. Morgan who defended Long in the fight of 1908. But W. A. White, who soaped the track for the Long machine and nominated Bris tow, was not here. White was prepar ing an editorial of condolence for the man whom he declared was "stalking stark naked" to his enemies to "leave an undivided party, to run the gauntlet of the reactionaries into an open grave." To be sure Bristow is presumed to have effected an agreement with Ar thur Capper which means lukewarm support of his candidacy by the Capper publications in the coming primary. But even Capper's support of Bristow must be mild and timid if Capper him self runs ior governor. Now that Cur tis is in the race the old crowd In the party will read the Capper editor ials backwards to gather their uncer tain meaning and the fear of a breach with the senior senator. And under those circumstances Bris tow is expected to go into the Repub lican primaries in August for an open endorsement of his record. Lovejoy a Candidate. Fred Lovejoy. of Clay Center, has an nounced his candidacy for. the Demo cratic nomination as superintendent Of insurance. Lovejoy is a well known Clay county Democrat, has been en gaged in the insurance business in Clay Center for a number o. years and is said to have 'strong following in the Fifth district. D. F. Hildebrand, of Hiawatha, Is also a candidate for the Democratic nomination as insurance superintendent. Livermore Announces. H. C Livermore, of Olathe. has for mally announced his candidacy for state treasurer on the Progressive tick et. He was mentioned as a Bull Moose candidate on several occasions, but not until this week did he decide to make the race. Before entering the third party, Livermore was a Democrat. He is well known in Johnson county and is considered quite wealthy. SAYRES RETURN. White House Bride Climbs Down Rope Ladder at Quarantine.

"I think about $40,000." "How many new goods were pur chased after the sale started?" "Not very many." "How much of the stock is left? "Would say between $10,000 and $13,000 worth." Hite Objected in Vain. Frequent objections were filed by D. R. Hite, representing Badders. But Judge Slcnecker wanted a wide in vestigation of the case and the wit ness was permitted to answer many questions over the objections of the defendant's lawyer, who loaded the record with exceptions. Fred Voiland, member of the legis lature from the north Shawnee dis trict and a well known North Topeka merchant, told of the purchase by himself of goods from the Badders store in bulk. It is contended by the creditors that the Badders company was insolvent when the bulk sales were made and for that reason vio lated the bankruptcy act. The Bad ders company contended that they could sell either in retail or bulk lots. Voiland Bought $1,000 Worth. Voiland said that his purchases totalled more than $1,000 and pay ments were made in two installments. "How did you make these pay ments?" was asked. "My first payment, $792 I think, was made in cash." "At Mr. Badders' suggestion?" "Yes. I started to write a check. Mr. Badders said he wanted the cur rency, t got It for him." A few days ago Voiland paid Bad ders the balance on his account when he gave Badders $250 in cash. Voiland said that his purchases, he believed, would have cost him $1,500 from a wholesaler. Some of the goods he bought for less than cost, he thought. On cross examination, how ever, he said that he believed he had paid more for some of the goods than they were worth. J. S. Gilltsky, a merchant, said he had made some small purchases at the' Badders' store. He bought nothing in bulk. All of his purchases were over the counter. Badders Refused to Testify. Badders, who had been called to the stand at the conclusion of yesterday's hearing, had refused to answer many Inquiries into his business affairs. To day it was stated that Judge Slon ecker would at once apply to Judge Pollock for an order compelling Bad ders to answer the questions or ask for a citation in contempt. Such an order will be contested by D. R. Hite, Bad ders' lawyer. "Papers in this case were served at 8 o'clock Thursday night," said Hite. "The hearing in bankruptcy is set for February 10. We contend that, these outside creditors have no right to rush in at this time arid conduct' a fishing expedition for the purpose of securing evidence to be used in the February hearing. We will certainly fight to protect our rights in this matter." Hearing Adjourned to Monday. Shortly before noon Judge Slonecker announced that further hearing of the case would be suspended until 10 o'clock Monday mo-ning. Several witnesses are to be examined at the Monday hearing and will be questioned as to the financial affairs of the Badders company. OUR HOUR OF HOPE.

Hallowell, convicted in police court last summer of Belling liquor, was paroled this week by George A. Huron, police Judre. Hallowell's case attracted more at tention than any other police court trial last year. Hallowell was arrest ed In August, .and his trial before Judge Huron was in the same month. On the testimony of an alleged pur chaser of a half pint of whisky, Hal lowell was convicted. His sentence was four months in Jail and a fine of 1600. As Hallowell had no money, this sentence virtually meant two years in the city jail. H. B. Hallowell was 72 years old at the time and he is a veteran of the Civil war. His conviction and sen tence aroused considerable criticism in Topeka and many members of the G. A. R., of which both he and Judge Huron belong, tried to effect bis pa role. A second trial was granted Hallo well by Judge Huron. At this hear ing, many of the local club women protested against the release of the oldvsoldier and Judge Huron decided that there was no reason for it. So the old soldier was thrust behind the bars again. After serving two months in the city lockup, the a ttorneys of Hallo well appealed to the district court for a writ of habeas corpus. For several weeks Hallowell was released from the city jail pending result of the writ. Judge Dana denied the writ, thus sustaining the decision of Judge Huron. Hallowell did not go back to jail, as his attorneys filed an appeal with the state supreme court. He went to the Soldiers' Home at Leavenworth the first of the year, where he now resides. This week Judge Huron granted a parole to Hal lowell, who can now spend his retir ing days in peace among his comrades at the home. Weekly Bank Statement. New York, Jan. 24.

It is understood that in opposition to the wishes of the president, the secre tary. Mrs. Lilla Day Monroe, has called a meeting of the Kansas Legislative club to meet on the evening before the Kansas Day club will meet. It is stated that this meeting next week is really for partisan purposes in the interest of Republican candidates: that tnas- is paved. The case baa been under ad visement for months.- t New trial was granted in the case of Ira C. Snyder against the National Vot ing Machine company. Judge Dana ac cused the jury of flagrant misconduct and absolute disregard of the Instruc tions "of the court. Charles Spencer, who was recently appointed receiver for the Southwestern Furniture com pany has been ordered to sell the prop erty and pay the company's claims. The Kessler case attracted wide at tention. When the city decided to pave South T avenue, it was discovered that the center section line did not bi sect the road; that the road, in short, had been laid out by the public, instead of the county commissioners. Mr. Kess ler declared that the road had been traveled for more than fifteen years, and was therefore a road by prescrip tion. Mrs. Kessler dramatically pointed out that the city wanted to make a straight road crooked; wanted to run a pave ment through his greenhouse; and prayed injunction against Kansas ave nue from Twenty-first street being paved according to the municipal survey. The road has been the subject of numerous lawsuits in the supreme, as much as the legislature win not be In refused" to Issue the injunction against the city, and granted W. C. Ralston's request for a mandatory order requir ing Mr. Kessler to place his greenhouse where the city declares it belongs. "When the city attempts to make lasting improvements, no small consid eration, no minor consideration should be allowed to prevent it," was the hold ing of the court. Declaring the jury did not confine it self to consideration of testimony, and flagrantly disregarded the court's in structions. Judge Dana granted a new trial to the National Voting Machine company, the Kansas voting Machine company and C. W. Hull in case filed against them by Ira C. Snyder. Snyder asked $5,000 of each defendant, and re ceived a verdict of $282. Snyder was a promoter for the sale of stock, and demanded damages for alleged breach of contract. Several pages of findings were filed in the district court by Judge Dana in the case of the German American bank and the Southwestern Furniture com pany. The bank held chattel mortgage for Sla.OOO against the company. The president of the company turned over the stock to the bank. The bank was restrained from taking possession. Charles Spencer was appointed re ceiver for the furniture company, who has been ordered to pay to the bank $18,331 on real estate, sell the company's property, and render judgment for the various creditors. Numerous motions for new trials were overruled, among them the Cox Planing Mill's request for a rehear ing of the case brought against it by W. M. Pedrick, who asked $4,650 for the loss of a finger. The jury gave him $1. The court refused to accept tlm verdict. Pedrick was awarded $250. The court let the decision stand.

The discovery of the dandruff germ was of inestimable value to mankind, but only because it paved the way for the greater service, the discovery of Newbro's Herpiclde. Dandruff is contagious, and its spread is checked by the use of Her piclde. This delightful scalp dressing removes all traces of dandruff, checks the accumulation of scarf skin and prevents the hair from falling. It stops that itching almost instantly. Herpiclde is the one standard and original dandruff germ destroyer. Any other preparation making this claim is an imitation. Recommended and applied by first class barbers.

The resolution was intro duced by the Roslyn, Wash., union. Another resolution expressing sym pathy for the striking copper miners in juemgan was adopted without- de bate. The abolition of International wars by means of a general strike was proposed in a resolution introduced by Duncan McDonald of Illinois. The resolution was adopted and referred to tne international mining congress. Mc Donald declared it the only method to stop international wars, ft nraiel the work of Andrew Carnegie for in ternational peace but he said his plans weru mine. ne aeciared tnat -the burden of carrying on wars, both in money and life, fell on the laboring classes. McDonald presented another reso lution instructing the international of ficers to call on the federal govern ment to purchase coal for the battle ships only from mines where "miners are employed eight hours a day and where humane conditions obtain." The resolution states the govern ment for a number of years has been purchasing fuel for the navy from nonunion mines of the Virginias, Maryland and that vicinity. The reso lution was unanimously adopted. OAKLAND NOTES. J. K. EUSS0 7t rW E. E. AZ3, Vict ftm. IL F. GUTC2IE, Asst.

"Peg o' My Heart" which will be seen at the Grand on Thursday night offers an excellent illustration of what the public wants. Under the managerial direction of Oliver Morosco, J. Hartley Manners' delightful comedy of youth, "Peg o' My Heart" was produced over a year ago at the Cort theater. New Tork, with Laurette Taylor, where it Is still playing to capacity audiences. The demand for this wildfire success was so great from all sections of the country that Mr. Morosco found it nec essary to organize five touring com panies. The one that will be seen here is called the No. 1, or transcontinental company as it is the one the producer selected to cover all the Important ter ritory lying between New York and San Francisco. Seats go on sale Tuesday morning. Messrs.

McLellan. author of "Leah Kleschna," "The Belle of New York" and "Oh! Oh! Delphine," with music by Ivan Caryll, director of the Gaiety theater, London, and composer of such tuneful scores as those of "Oh! Oh!

Scene from Oliver Morosco 's pro and Guillemaud, the play was known as "Le Satyr" and it was played for many months at the Palais Royale in Paris. It will be recalled that "The Pink Lady" was played for a year and a half at the New Amsterdam theater in New York and 20 weeks at the Globe theater in London. A story of marked interest is told in "The Pink Lady.' It concerns the adventures of young Gerl del, about to be married, who repairs to a restaurant of Compeigne for a final luncheon with an old flame, Claudine, the lady in pink. Little Women, which plays twice at the Grand on Saturday, February 7, re ceives the following favorable com ment in the Birmingham (Ala.) News: In the dramatization of Louisa M. Al- cott'a "Little Women," which opened an eneacement of six performances at the Jefferson Monday, the difficult task of clothing the creatures of fancy in the garb of living, breathing flesh and blood has been accomplished with a degree of success that is remarkable. It seems as If the characters of the book had been plucked from its paes and placed upon the modern stage to live and love and laugh and weep Just as they did before the mental vision of our youth, the only difference being that then we saw them from the "little wo men's" point of view, while now we look through "Marmee's" eyes, or may hap those of Mr. March, or Mr. Law rence. The Butterfly on the Wheel makes one of its few stops in Topeka. on Feb ruary 10. en route from New York to the western coast.

Harry Lander Appears as a Golfer for Movies. Once more Boston's unique mayor has launched his thunderbolts at the stage by issuing an order prohibiting the performance of Oscar Wilde's Salome by Madame Aguglia, the Si cilian actress, and once more the Hub is firmly established on a safe foun dation of Puritanic morality. Once before Mary Garden threat ened to shake that foundation, and, if we mistake not. by a similar at tempt to present Sakmie there with the Boston Opera company. Miss Garden had some pertinent and far-reaching remarks to make on Boston at the time, and on Mayor Fitzgerald in. particular. Miss Gar den has a way of saying things, when aroused to eloquence, that make merry reading. We forget Just to what fractions she reduced the physical at tractions of Boston, but they were ex pressed In terms of a particular kind of fish which appealed to her palate. Madame Aguglia, being a foreigner. Is denied the facility of wagging a satirical tongue in the English lan guage to the same degree as our free and independent Chicago-bred prima conna; out in ner own modest wav she does very well in expressing her opinion of Boston. Dramatic Mirror. The 1,000-foot film showing Harrv Lauder and Neil Kenyon in a comedy golf match in England, which will soon be brought to this country by James McEnnery of the United King dom llm company of Great Britain. was highly praised by the press in ingiana when shown for the first time in public there recently. Just before he left for Philadelphia. Harry Lauder wrote and signed the following statement, which Droves McEnnery's claim that he has the only motion, pictures ever taken of Harry Lauder. Lauder's statement. written In his dressing room at the Casino theater, is as follows: "January 10, 1914. "I hereby certify that this is the original golfing film produced at Wombley Park, England, by Neil Kenyon and myself, and is the only film in which I have ever appeared. HARRY LAUDER."

HAD LITTLE SUCCESS. Did Two Men Who Sought to Defraud Epworth League. Letters have been continually pour ing in at the office of the United States district attorney in regard to the Epworth League endowment. From all of the letters received, it is believed that few of the leagues in the state responded to the demand of Dennick and Richards for the fund. Two leagues, Cherryvale and Tribune, sent in small checks. The remainder have sent word to Mr. Robertson, dis trict attorney, that they paid little at tention to the letters sent by the man agers of the fund, suspecting fraud. Judge Nelson Case of Oswego, pres ident of the board of trustees for Ba ker university, has written the attor neys about the matter. He declares that he had never heard of the two defendants and that his first intima tion of the indowment fund was the arrest of Richards and Dennick early this month by federal officers. He had no idea of the purposes of the fund, he declares, and the endowment was not sanctioned by the officials of the university. Immediately after the disclosure of the alleged fraud, Dean Markham of Baker, secretary of the Baker endow ment, wrote to all presidents of Ep worth leagues in the state. He warn ed them not to send money to Ottawa and advised them to write to Fred Robertson, United States district at torney. The Topeka league received one of the circular letters but believed it to be a fraud and did not reply. Garden City received one of the many hundred alleged to have been sent out. but the wording of the cir cular did not appeal to the league president and no money was sent. Cherryvale league sent a money or der to the extent of $2.50. The mon ey order slip was received in Topeka this week. The president of the Junction City league did not answer .the letter and in a note to the district attorney said in part: "To me the circular reads like a fraud and is crude in wording and manner of suggestion." Among the other cities who did not respond to the invitation issued by the endowment fund managers, were Iola, Sabetha, Altoona, Horton, Em poria, Clay Center, Coffeyville, Caney, Erie, Yates Center, Columbus, Chero kee, Council Grove, Marysville, Hills- boro, Osage City, Neosho, Halstead, Eiureka, St. Johns. Chetopa, Sterling, GalesburK. Howard, Herington, BJue Rapids, Seneca, Burlington and Hol- ton. All of the leagues in these cities refused to send money to .the fund. In Tribune, the Epworth league was raising money for a piano in the church and could ill afford to send money to help the university. How ever, It was one of the two cities re ported to have helped out the endow ment fund. It was to the extent of five dollars. Dennick and Richards are still In the county jail In default of $1,000 bonds. They will be tried in federal court this year charged with using the mails to defraud. Congress Candidate Withdraws.

He will devote especial attention to the Venus statues of Praxiteles and show how he fixed the type that found its highest portrayal in the Venus of Melos. The -lecture will be illustrated with stereopticon slides portraying a complete set of antique sculptures that may be in any way related to Praxiteles'.

AT THE CONCERT. By way of furthering her metropoli tan aspirations, Topeka has opened her heart to chamber music, as pre sented by the Flonzaley quartet, the best stringed quartet in the world. Two or three years ago the Flonzaley Early and Elsie Albe: feature In this 1 Oklahoma City, where she will visit rela- people stopped in Topeka and played in a lodge hall to about twenty-three people, including the Janitor. Friday afternoon they appeared at the Grand theater before a packed house that poured out a libation of enthusiasm that denoted its understanding of their masterly abilities. Hence, our taste must be advancing in the direction of the artistic. While chamber music does not prop erly belong to the concert hall, but rather to the studio, the Flonzaley Quartet have the faculty of the bring ing to the hall the atmosphere of the studio, and whatever the work may lack in volume of tone required to fill the larger space, is fully compensated for by the character and individual value of the music of the separate in struments. Every member of the quar tet is a virtuoso of note, and in the choice of themes, the quartet kept to those that gave opportunity for an al most uninterrupted union of the four instruments. And though they are all able soloists, they are sufficiently self effacing to leave the ensemble free of the marring effects of an undue em phasis on any one desk. The program for the afternoon com prised three numbers, and encores. The Beethoven Quartet in G. major opened the concert, and the closing number was Schubert's variations and finale from the Quartet In D minor. There Is such a wide contrast between these two stupendous works of genius that one wishes the one might have fol lowed the other immediately without the Intervening selection by Moor, that the audience might have had a chance to note them in succession. They are irreproachable models. One little point deserves notice as showing the com parative strength of the two compos ers. Beethoven gives frequent rest to one or two of the players, allowing the mind to fill In the lacking harmony. tnus producing a clearness, boldness, and contrast, not found in other works of the kind. Schubert, on the other hand, makes all four parts work their best to hide the thinness of sound which is the drawback of the ouartet in a large nan.

Mrs. bass and tenor, that is, the 'cello and viola, are not made to serve as accom paniments to the violins, and to mark the time. Every instrument has its own value and character. The quartet expresses ideas of deli cacy, refinement, and complexity, and shuns the themes that require a great body of tone production. The Schu bert number had a grace and charm that eludes the defining word. It con tains an incalculable amount of modu lation, passages repeated in different keys, and the theme Is tossed from the violin to the viola and amplified by the other strings. The second number was Suite for violin and 'cello, by Emanuel Moor. No graces of tone nor spirit of per formance could have given it anything like the life of the other two numbers. It was as placid as a frog pond and suggests the days of dutiful practice and two finger exercises. However, a second hearing of the piece would like ly reveal beauties that one misses In following for the first time unfamiliar lines.

EDDYTORIUL Gentle omnivrous reader, lit tle do you realise as you begin to read this eddytoriul how turrible neer you come not to readin enny eddytoriul a tall in this ishue of the Boogie. Everybuddy will recolleckt what a auful cold nite last Tuesday nite was. Well, when we retired on the afore mentchioned evg we het up our household soapstone until it was jest about red hot and tuk same to bed with us to remove the chill from betwixt the sheets as it were. Jest as we was dozin off we in advertantly pushed bur left foot agin the soapstone and with a loud yell of derishion jumped clean out en the bed landed in the middle of the floor on our f ase smothered in bedclothes. After we had did this a cupple of times we managed to git to sleep, but during the night being as the soapstone was so warm we kicked the bed clothes of fen ourself in our slumber unbe knownst to us and woke up in the dim gray dawn with one of the worst colds in our head chest that we ever ketched in our life. Personally we woodent want a snake to have as bad a cold as we suffer from at the present writing. We have nearly coifed sneezed our fool head often our shoulders. Our eyes is full of tears and our nose is as red as a beet We cant taste nothink nor smell nothink but the worst of it is our brain dont seem to work and our hed donj feel as if it had enny brains in it for that matter. Whitch is why it is sich a tum ble chore to dash off a eddytoriul on some deep subjeckt of vital in terest to humanitty and if youll ex coose us this wk we wont dash off none exept this dissertashion on "A COLD HOW TO KETCH ONE." We have been dosin ourself with mustard plasters, ginger tea, pep per poultices foot baths until we be nearly parboiled burnt to a crisp, as you might say and by next wk we hope our brain will be work ing with its ushual activitty to en able us to dash off a eddytoriul that will make you all set up and scratch your heads to understand same.

Moses, president of the Cltisens National bank of Great Bend, testified I that the trend of all business -in that j part of the state was toward Kansas City and this city was favored for a reserve bank. unanen jd. sawyer, state Dana com missioner of Kansas, testified as head of the Kansas banking system that there, was no other logical point but Kansas City for a federal reserve bank for that state. Secretary Houston asked the bank commissioner if he had decided that the state banks could enter the new system. Mr. Sawyer replied he had and that if there was any doubt about it the next Kansas legislature would re move it. Governor Hodges Speaks for Kansas. I Governor Hodges appeared before the committee to say that it had been sug- j gested in some quarters that the state j law of Kansas would not permit the state banks to join the federal reserve system. "If that is so," the governor said, "I can give assurance that the next legis lature will provide the means for such banks to Join." Kansas, he told the committee, was still in its infancy. "But there are $3, 000,000,000 of wealth on the taxrolls to day," he said, "which is J1.750 for ev ery man, woman and child in the state. The average wealth of the nation is only $12. All this great wealth looks to Kansas City as its capital and ex pects a bank to be established here." Personally, he said, he would like to see the bank established on the Kansas side of the state line, but failing that ne would De satisfied to see it on tne Missouri side. "Three-quarters of the people on the Missouri side are Kan sans anyway," he said. Kansas City is sixth in bank clear ings," argued the governor. "Is that not enough to assure Kansas City of a federal reserve bank?" He put the question directly to the committee, but it was not answered. "You cannot depend too much on bank clearings," said Mr.v' 'McAdoo. "We discovered that in Albany, N. Y." "Then I am glad that here there has been no evidence of the padding of bank clearing figures," said the gov ernor. "And you can't tell what the clearings may be in a few years," he continued. "Kansas City is only' 50 years old. Who can say what it will be in one hundred years? Why, 'last year-the good women of our state sold $22,000, 000 worh of butter and eggs. That is more than the entire cost of the Louisi ana Purchase." ATTIIEGDWINTER A Good Vaudeville Bill Lined Up for Next Week. Officials of Show Well Pleased With Week's Business. There will be another good vaude ville show next week at the Kansas Midwinter exposition. in the Audi torium, according to the announce ment of the management today. "The Nobby Girls," Koehler and Victoria, who, according to the ac- companying t cut, are "right there" when it comes to looks, will put on a singing and dancing act that is said to be above the ordinary. Palmer and Palmer, "man and girl" artists, will do a musical stunt.: "The Bostonial Four" quartet comes highly recom mended. Then there will be Artane, the equilibrist. This was children's day at the Mid winter. There was a mighty din in the big hall this afternoon. Hundreds of youngsters showed their apprecia tion of the vaudeville acts by whis tling and hand clapping. The thing, however, that particularly appealed to the kiddies was the annual base ball shower of the H. B. Howard company. A whole basket of balls were tossed in all directions from the stage, and there was a mad scramble on the part of the small boys to grab them. The officers of the show are well pleased with the attendance this week," and they confidently expect that the people will jam into the big hall in even greater numbers next week. The vaudeville show met with the approval of the Midwinter visitors this week. i Over one hundred persons were in attendance at the banquet given from 6 to 6:30 o'clock Friday evening by the exhibitors at the Midwinter. Those in attendance included all persons pre siding at booths, the vaudeville per formers, the members of the Ray Hall orchestra, and the officials of the ex postion. Otto Kuehne, jr.. and H. B. Howard had' general charge of ar rangements. The ladies served the banquet. The good things to eat came for the most part from Midwinter booths, but the exhibitors who had nothing to offer from their respec tive booths furnished cash with which supplies were purchased. Among those in attendance were: Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Hammon, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Kientz and Glen Kientz, Mr. and Mrs. H. B.

Who Win Be a Midwinter At. traction Next Week. Kansas City, Jan. 24. The Kansas delegation before Secretary McAdoo in the regional bank hearing here played an important part for Kansas City. The first witness from the Kan sas delegation was John R. Mulvane, president of the Bank of Topeka, the oldest banking institution in Kansas. "Sixty-five per cent of the business of Topeka comes to Kansas City," he said. "There are 1 twenty-five trains a day coming here and the business naturally comes with it." "If there were no bank in Kansas City where would you prefer one?" asked Mr. McAdoo. "Chicago would be our second choice and St. Louis third. We do little business outside of Kansas City." "How about New York?" asked Mr. McAdoo. "Well," returned the banker, "we have to keep a small balance in New York. Somebody dies once in a while and we have to be able to get the In surance from New York," "Will your bank come into the re serve system?" Mr. McAdoo asked. "If they will let me in," Mr. Mul vane answered. "I think with your capital of $300, 000 you could break in," the secretary said, amid laughter. Mr. Mulvane's figures were garbled In the first dispatches of the testi mony. His correct figures were as follows: "About 65 per cent of our exchange, remittances were on Kansas City, Mo.; 20 per cent on Chicago, 111.; about 10 per cent on St. Louis, and about 5 per cent on New York." Copeland Testifies for Santa Fe. E. L. Copeland, a financial officer of the Santa Fe, was the next witness. "Although our headquarters are no longer in Kansas City, the whole of our business centers around this citv. he said. "It is the logical place for a reserve bank from our stand point. We pay our employees from here or at least most of the checks are cashed here. We collect most of our bills through here and pay most of our ex penses through Kansas City. "The drift of trade all over the southwest is toward Kansas City. Ari zona alone divides its trade, about half of it going to the Pacific coast." Early In the hearing yesterday morning the committee intimated that there must be no oratory. Neverthe less they got a little. Former Gover nor Stubbs of Kansas was the one who broke the rule. He pounded the table to emphasize his remarks. Governor Stubbs Won Applause. "I am more of a farmer than a banker," said the former governor. "And it is for the class of people who make possible the banks and the rail roads and the packing houses that I speak. Kansas is the center and the heart of the greatest food producing territory in the warld. It is new it needs money. We want a reserve bank right here at the gateway. "The food products produced in Kansas can be doubled if the state's 1 i Lutein. iirio ai c (iiuiciiy. lu.&t:u lm VI. It is the small bankers the banks of $10,000 capital that must be looked after. "Why, the irrigation possibilities of the state have not been touched yet. "Kansas City is where we want our bank. If not on the Kansas side, then over here. It makes but little differ ence. Kansas brains and Kansas men have made Kansas City. This is a Kansas city and you can't beat it" Mr. Stubbs retired amid a burst of applause, the first of the afternoon. Fred Qnincy of Salina. Fred H. Quincy, 'president of the chamber of commerce of Salina, was called to speak the feeling in that part of the state. "Kansas City is the natural place for us to do business," he said. "It is our choice for our reserve banking center and we have no second choice. I do not believe the banks I represent would care to come into the system Washington. Jan. 24. The heating of tne new nign school at Kupert. laano, by electricity is the first case on rec ord where large buildings have been heated by such means, announced the federal bureau of education today. -Be sides being used for heating, the elec tricity is used for a variety of other purposes to such an extent that the school has come to be known as the "electric high school." The electricity is generated from a government power house. Electricity is utilized everywhere, in the building. A ten horsepower motor besides driving the ventilating fan. sup. plies the power needed for the lathes and saws in the manual training de partment. An electric heater supplies the hot water for the domestic science department, for the shower bath and for the science rooms. The bureau says that use of elec tricity is proving a real economy. mwmxmm.

THE TOPnUA DAILY STATS JOUEITAL UATUEDAY EVdinO JAI7UAIIY 21, 1C14. Woman and Religion. The International Sunday School Les son for January 25 Is "Serving Jesus. Luke 8:1-3; 8:57-82; 10:38-42. (BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.) "The woman question" inescapably in one of today's living issues. Every thoughtful person Is bound to face K squarely, and to look into it deeplj. Whatever is merely superftcialor inci dental should be eliminated. Thus tne suffrage issue Is not "the woman ques tion." Even the so-called 'feminist movement' which shatters the old con ventions and finds other sphere for woman than that of wife, mother, and home-maker, is not sufficiently inclus ive. Considered dispassionately, tne distinctive mission of women must en ter into any study of "the woman ques tion." This may appropriately be done in connection with the present Saattay school lesson. For here we find the at tention of millions of persons the world around simultaneously concentrated upon the New Testament stories that are sufficiently general to open up tne whole "woman question." As we wain with Mary of Magdala, and Joanna, and Susanna, who followed Jesus and ministered to him of their substance; and as we sit in the shadow of the hos pitable Bethlehem home, where tne tired Teacher so loved to resort, we may consider what light the Bible sheds upon this modern perplexity. A Frank Word About Women. Whatever the future may hold, whether woman is to rule by ballot or by battle axe, or by ministry and in spiration, there are certain truths which may frankly be stated about woman's place in the past. Always her first field has been the home and the children. She has been potent in affecting the most intimate and basic human conceptions. Hers has been the shaping influence upon lif e at its springs. She has made "home a sweet word. The picture of the home where Jesua delighted to visit is Illuminative. Always worren have been more re ligious than men. At all times and un der all creeds they have been the de fenders of the faith and the attendants of the altar fires of spirituality. This continues during today both in the Christian church and in pagan lands. Christian church and in pagan lands. "If man is an incurable religious animal" then the female of the species is more relieious than the male. No symptom on the day's horizon is more alarming than the modern increase in the num ber of women who give religion no place in their scheme of things, and who undertake to get along without its restraints and its consolations. Always woman has been an idealist. That the claims of Jesus should be so swiftly and deeply understood by women Is significant. It is a rare church indeed that is not attended by more women than men. This also is true of concerts, lectures, art exhibi tions, and the higher classes of drama, and all literary and ethical occasions. The idealism of woman is apparent on every hand. Alwavs woman has been the heart eher of men. Kipling makes one of his characters say "There are just two kinds of women in the world: those who put strength into men and those who take it out of them." The friend ship of Martha and Mary evidently meant much to Jesus. This apparent ly indirect exercise of woman's power may not satisfy some persons; but the armorer's part in the battle is as real as that of the warrior. Barrie's ex quisite sketch of "Margaret Ogilvie" recites how his mother declared that she would be proud to be the mother of Robertson Louis Stevenson as far himcelf, Barrie vows that all he is or has done he owes to his mother. The world can ill afford to lose that kind of woman. The Real Emancipation. Here we come to a profound his torical fact. Jesus Christ has been the real emancipator of womanhood. In his discipleship she has gone to newness of honor, to newness of ser vice and newness of character. Through all the centuries, since one little group of women were "last at the cross and first at the grave," wom en have been the best friends of Jesus, even as he has been the best friend of womanhood. A new sense of sisterly solidarity has developed in Christianity. We might call this a noble sex conscious ness. The passion of Christian woman for the welfare of the women of the world is not often discussed in the newspapers, but it Is the broadstand and most beautiful phase of the whole "woman question." Woman's Ideal Man. In return for what he has done for her, woman has lavished upon Christ the intensity ana luiiness of an un measured devotion. He has filled her vision of an ideal man. His strength and tenderness, his mastery and His ministry, have satisfied woman's loft iest aspirations. The mothers who have raised their sons by the Christ standard, and have fired the hearts of those sons with the Christ-passion, have been the greatest servants of the race. Is there anything that would better serve these new times than more of this spirit in the day's womanhood? The company of women who follow ed Jesus, as we are told in this lesson, were the forerunners of an innumer able host. It would exalt the think ing, the living, or the characters of a multitude of us who are talking loose ly about "the woman question" if we were to get a clear vision of the type of womanhood who in home and church and Christian women's organ izations are modestly seeking to help the world In the name of the Lord Jesus. llomelessness of the Leader, interjected into this lesson story, as if to accentuate the human needs of Jesus on the comfort that was brought Him by the sympathetic wo men, are the three instances of the men who wanted to follow Him. To the first the Master replied: "The foxes have holes, the birds of the heavens have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." The second wanted first to bury his father, and the third to bid farewell to his family; but Jesus pointed out that all else must wait when the king dom business is concerned. The ur gency of the kingdom call sounds through these incidents. Ease at home, social conventions, and the comforts of life are not for the one who gives himself to the mission of the kingdom. A homeless, weary wanderer was Jesus, and the hospitality in Bethany was the more precious because of this. The best traditions of Oriental hos pitality were fulfilled in that Bethany home. A guest was not an occasional event, upsetting the household routine and creating an abnormal life. These two gracious women ministered con stantly by means of their home, a form of Christian service which will come again to its own one of these days. A woman can do more for the world and for religion by the right use of her home than by making speeches or writing articles or serving on com mittees. Two types of women were hostesses In the Bethany home. Both were be loved friends of Jesus and honored by Him. Martha was the "practical woman, of the housekeeper type, with a deep sense of the importance of dinners; her husband would have heard from her had he been late to meals. She was somewhat under the tyranny of pots and pans. Means of hospitality had imperceptibly taken the place of the object of hospitality. We may make all excuse for Martha when we consider the crowd of men Jesus and the twelve, not to mention others who were to be fed that day. But she had allowed herself to be dis tracted by her task. She was "rat tled," as an expressive colloquialism has it. A Wise Woman's Way.. Now hospitality is more than the giving of dinners; it is a sharing of self. Everybody knows the type of hostess who is too flustered to enjoy her guest or to let her guest enjoy her. The criticism that may fairly be made of Martha is that she had forgotten the old word of Eccle siastes, "There is a time for all things." Mary, with keener spirit ual intuition, saw that a great hour had come. This was no time to pot ter about the kitchen when a great Teacher awaited companionship in the guest room. Mary was the sort of woman who perceives the loneli ness of the life of the publicist and understands that the applause of the crowd is no balm for the weariness and loneliness of the spirit seeking sympathetic fellowship. A bit petulant Martha spoke ir ritably to her sister and her guest; thus it usually comes about when we let mere things master us. Tenderly, and with the freedom of a privileged friend, Jesus himself made answer in Mary's behalf, "Martha, Martha, thou art anxious an' troubled about many things, but one thing is need ful; and Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away." That was as if He had said, "You have let yourself come under the yoke of mere transitory things. Mary has put first things first, and has chosen the permanent values. Din ners are daily affairs; when a great spiritual opportunity comes, it is unique and all else must stand aside for it." After all has been said, would it not help more than anything else toward the solution of "the woman question," and a hundred other ques tions that trouble our times, if more of us were to learn the art of quiet contemplation in the company of Je sus, viewing life's values as nearly as possible from his standpoint? A Nation's Best Bulwarks. Terse Comments for January 25, "The Perils That Threaten Our Nation." Jer. 22: 1-5, 13-18. (BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.) A new mood is mastering the minds of men. All real observers perceive this. Some name it, in political terms, progressiveness and liberalism; others call it democracy; others human free dom; still others see it as a world-wide quest for righteousness and justice; I the beginnings of a reign of interna' tional peace at.d brotherhood. What over the nomenclature and the diagno sis, the thing itself is a fresh sense of spiritual values. It is concerned with the fundamental issues, and its object is a better world for all men and wo men. The program for it is laid down in this passage from the prophet Jere miah: "Execute ye Justice and right eousness, and deliver him that is rob bed out of the hand of the oppresser; and do no wrong, do no violence, to the sojourner, the fatherless, nor the widow; neither shed innocent blood." The newest of the political parties has no more modern or succinct statement of its social program than this. This way lies strength and safety. The nation buttressed in the integrity of its people, and of its dealings with all men, is better defended than the one with the monster army and navy. The whole is never greater than the sum of its parts. A great nation can never be made up of ignoble men. But the country whose people are de voted to justice and good will cannot be kept from greatness by any for eign power. The old story from Sparta, which explains a modern bit of slang, is pertinent. "Where are the walls of Sparta?" a visitor asked. "There are the walls of Sparta," replied the king, pointing to his army: "and every man is a brick." A noble citizenship is the one sure and final bulwark of a nation. The new times create new perils. What means the popularity of these moving picture scenes of "wild west life? Obviously they signify that, lacking the excitement of personal endeavor and activity and the primi tive tasks of mankind, people are seek ing adventure by proxy. Just as the highly civilized Romans, needing no longer to engage in war and the chase and the active pursuits of conquest. satisfied this Innate appetite for ad venture by the contest of the gladia torial arena, so our steam heated civ ilization is catering to the taste for strife and achievement and out-of-doors-life by the moving picture dra mas. What we need to counteract this unwholesome tenden y. is more open air life for young and old, more of big, hard tasks to fill peoples' lives, and more of guidance in public recrea tion. The craving to be amused is a real peril threatening our nation. "Where there is no vision the peo ple perish." So wrote the Old Testa ment seer. To popularize ideals of patriotism, so that the great dreams which made our nation shall be con- StantlV in the ttinnehl oil hA pie, is a modern need In our land. The tendency is for detailed wrongs. and for petty programs of reform, to nil the people s eye. Let us not forget the great principles that have made us a nation. The cure for our ills lies in an application of the lofty truths which are woven into the tex ture of our national being. If more of us would give ourselves whole heartedly to the promotion of tne old fashioned conceptions of patriotism we should be doing a fundamental service to our land. We are in real danger of letting the little echoes of criticism and agitation drown out the great voice of the American spirit. Indifference to public duty is dis loyalty to private standards of citizen ship. This bids fair to be a great year for the temperance cause. The peril to our country which inheres in the traf fic in strong drink is understood to day as never before. That surest foun dation for a sober state, the enlightened convictions of the people, is being laid broader and deeper every day. Perils proceed from personality. Bad men and women are the spring of na tional hurt. Consider, as an illustra tion, the vice of impurity, which has attained the proportions of a national menace. Only as individuals learn the New Testament standard of chastity can this evil be blotted out. Thus we I see that the help of the nation In the nour or need is to be found in re ligion. Sane and searching study of the problems involved in our enormous im migration is showing the way out from this peril, which is also a power. Mean time, the first practical and patriotic step to be taken Is to act in a brother way toward every alien resident in the land, practicing toward him the true American virtues and helping him -to grow into the privileges of American citizenship. There is no "race question" that Is not, fundamentally, a question of the whole human race. The spirit of change may be a peril to any nation, as truly as the spirit of encrusted conservatism. The pursuit of mere novelty is trivial and childish: change for change's sake is unworthy of a great nation. How to hold fast to what is proved good in the old. while reaching out toward what is good in the new, is the difficult duty of effective citizens. Since national well-being has Its roots in individual character and since char acter is a product of religion, we per ceive that to conserve the institutions of religion becomes a patrotic duty. The Lord's day, as the Lord's Book, and the Lord's House are all three essential to a safe and free people. All loyal dis ciples of Christ will make their main tenance a cardinal religious obligation. We never serve the state more truly than when we exalt the place and pow er of Jesus Christ among men.

V. The opening verse of this Study fur nishes the key to all Jesus' preaching. so far as recorded. His one Message was the Good Tidings of the Kingdom of God. Any Christian who has not learned, that God's Kingdom is the very essence of the Church's hone and the world's hope has not profitably read ana believed the Bible. The Jews, not being ready for the! Kingdom, were as a nation rejected from being Messiah's associates in that Kingdom. But not all were re jected; hence we read that to as many as received Him gave He power to become sons of God by the begetting and anointing of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. While thus declaring the Kingdom. Jesus was not begging His way. We have no suggestion that he ever took tip a collection or in any manner solic- ilea money.

Mary, apparently, was wealthy. Re leased from the power of the demons, she was so grateful that she did her best to serve Jesus on every occasion. Other honorable women are mention ed as contributing to our Lord's sup port. "Let Me Bury My Father." Some were attracted to Jesus, evi dently, with the thought that one so gifted and so well supplied with life's necessities must be wealthy. One such said. "I will follow Thee whither soever Thou goest." But apparently his ardor cooled when Jesus informed him that Hi had no home ot His own. although there were numerous homes to which He was welcome. Poverty attracts few. Another said in substance. Lord count 3ie as a disciple; but I feel that I must stay with my father until his death. Jesus' reply shows the Impor tance which He attaches to every ser vice rendered to the -Father's Cause. He said, "Let the dead bury their dead, but go thou and preach the Kingdom oi God." The whole world is already dead from the Divine standpoint. Adam's death sentence involved all his children. The only ones whom the Scriptures recognize as alive are those who become related to the Live-giver, Jesus. The Master inti mates that all such should take a differ ent view of life from others. There are many to attend to earthly things, few to attend to the more important work of proclaiming the Kingdom. Another said, I will follow Thee: but first I will spend a little time in bidding my friends farewell. It was not heartless ness that suggested Jesus' answer:. "No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God." According to these searching words, who. even among the Lord's con secrated people today, is fit! We are not to judge others, but to judge self. Yet, in a general way. are not many not only looking back and making special provision for social amenities, but also plunging into many of the world's luxu ries, pleasures and frivolities? The ques tion is a searching one. How many of us will the Lord consider fit for a plaee in His glorious Messianic Empire, which we trust is nigh at the door! The story of Martha and Mary con cludes the lesson. Both loved the Savior, but manifested that love differently. Jesus did not disapprove of Martha's care fulness in providing for His comfort: but He especially appreciated Mary's spirit, j .1 1 III.. I I which drew her to His feet to hear the wonderful words of life. In our service for the Master let us remember that He is especially pleased when we give earnest attention to His words and seek to be filled with His Holy Spirit. Today's Study represents special ser vices whfch were rendered at different times during our Lord's ministry. Ac ceptable service, like acceptable praise, must come as a fruitage of love to the Lord. He who loves much serves much. Salaries cannot purchase this kind of ser vice, and persecution cannot hinder it. Whoever serves the Lord's brethren serves Him. BIBLE STUDY XIII. 1.

I hold that the doctrine of substitu tion Is unsound reasoning and I do not find the word "substitution" used in the Scriptures. It seems to me most absurd to consider our dealings with a God of love upon a commercial basis, and such a cold, calculating exposition of divine truth arouses all of the ire in me. I find nearly all scholars are prejudiced against this word. Whence such concoction? (Tun isian.) Answer. The word "substitution" is an English word and no English words are used in the Scriptures, which were writ ten In Greek and Hebrew. If. however, the translators of our English version had chosen so to do, they could, with perfect propriety, have used the word "substitu tion." because the Greek unquestionably contains the thought of substitution and substitute, in many places. The fact that tho word does not occur is merely because the translators did not happen to use it; and Inasmuch as all sincere Bible students are seeking to impress the thought of the orlgiral Scriptures upon their minds, there fore it is nroper that this word "substi tute" should be Impressed, because what ever Is in opposition to the thought con tained in the word substitute is equally 1n onnosltion to the thought contained in th word ransom. The Scriptures abound with declarations that we were bought with the precious blood of Christ: that He released us bv giving Hl own soul unto death to ransom ours. What is this but substitution? In the most absolute sense of the word our Lord, the man Christ Jesus, gave THmself into death, as a ran som, a substitute, in death for father Adam (and the race that had lost life in hlmV ransom ror an, a suDsiuute, a I corresponding price 18 tne stc?"y OI.JOD ue, or omy a K,n" Pw?ii.iK Answer. We believe Job to have been a real person a man. He is so referred to in the following Scriptures: Job 1, 1 Ezeklel 14:14-j): James 5:11. This does not alter the fact, however, that a great allegorical lesson is taught by Job's experiences. As a whole, his life represented the experi ences of the human family in the loss of everything. Joo lost his children, friends, home, health, the affections of his wife all and he was nigh unto destruction in the tomb. Then came the turning point. He was restored to divine favor and to the blessings which he had formerly enjoyed. and ra0re abundance than he j ever nad herore. rnis pictures tne ex- Eden, was nerfect. loyful and rich in lite and a nerfect home.

God uses various instrumen- 1 JfHUes for communicating His instruc- tions. Thus the Lord Jesus Himself Is called the Father's "Word the Message, the Lagos (John 1:1; Revelation 19:13). Stl Paul speaks of Him, saying, "ijoa, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers by .the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son" (Hebrews 1:1. 2.) This message has been repeated by the pronhets. We read that when our Lord "ascended up on high He gave gifts unto man." and these gifts are still with us. He explains these gifts to De Apostles, prophets, evaneelists. pastors end teachers, 'for the perfectinr of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ, until we come unto the measure of the stature Of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:8, u -i J. r"ir our convtmnr, we nave in9 teachers collected for us In the Bible. Their wisdom must aU be recognised as emanating from the Father through the Son. God has always dealt with men through agents and agencies. The agents have usually been men. To refuse His agents is to refuse Him. Q. The statement in Matthew 12:4 which reads, "While he yet talked to tne people, -behold his -mother and his breth ren at of without, desiring to speak with him," suggests that our Lord did have brothers according to the flesh. Were these brethren not the sons of Mary also' (A. C. C.) Answer. We read in the 'Scripture re specting "brethren" of Jesus. This natur ally suggests that they were children of Vary because the word "brethren" is used in this restricted sense at the present time. But the word "brethren" was not so restricted in its use in olden times. Persons of close blood relationship were called "brethren", as for instance first cousins: but, this is merely our opinion. It would have been strange for Jesus to have committed Mary to His disciple, St. John, if she had other sons capable of carini for her. CKUnCH K0T1CES. The Evangelical St. Paul's church.

The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the fall day telegraph report of that great news w ganlsatlon for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. I China is coming right along as a re public The latest news from there tells of the organization of a soap trust. Reports of the battle of Ojlnaga say that a lot of Mexicans who were not g.aerals were killed.- Is the end ap proaching? The little movement whose meaning Is the prevention of suicide probably expects to prevent beginners from get ting the habit. There is one thing to be said In fa vor of those new, horse-blanket over coatsthey fit all members of the fam ily equally well. Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., says he never drank a drop of intoxicating liquor, but refrains from attributing his pros perity to that fact. General Villa is reported to have en tered Into a contract with a moving picture concern. War is still what Gen eral Sherman said it was. Probably the best test of Harry .maw s mental cunaiuun wumu uc m turn him loose and see whether or not tie. goes back to Broadway. The society for the prevention of rash acts might do worse than give early attention to the prevalence of the bichloride of mercury tablet. T la tn Vin hntwd that William Allen White does not follow the example set by Representative Johnson of Ken tucky and call for his pistols. And that New York judge who held that skirt weights are a proper part of women's attire probably had the bene Qt of a little home inspiration. One of the French physicians says that dancing the tango causes wrinkles. But probably he refers to the new wrinkles constantly appearing ln the tango. A $1,000,000 monument is to be erected In honor of Andrew Jackson at Nash ville, notes the Chicago Record-Herald, and it adds: They continue to vote for him down that way. In' New Haven, recently, a workman round a silver dollar of 1804, said to be worth $3,600. But most of us would be happy to find a plain, everyday sil ver dollar worth 100 cents. There is likely to be a good deal of smelling and tasting on the part of the consumers before they pass out their hard-earned money for any of that butter from Argentina. When a man offers another man any thing free he looks for the string, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. But when a strange woman smiles at him on the street he imagines she loves him for himself. Among the more important of the In formation passed out recently Is the fact that at noon on January 18, Presi dent Wilson was exactly 1,800,489.600 seconds old. At least, a student at the University of Chicago so- deposes. Probably there will always be a dif ference In human, tastes and traits and nobody' need be surprised, thinks the Christian Science Monitor, if some peo ple will still prefer to "round the Horn" after the Panama canal is opened.' Mr. Bryan notes the passing of the commercial ideal that has been domi nant In. this country for so long. Per haps he has made up his mind to cut out his Chautauqua lecturing while he Is being paid by the people to act aa their secretary of state. President Wilson will not urge con gress to enact legislation regulating stock exchanges because nothing Is said on that subject in the Democratic plat form. But he wasn't so particular ln sticking to the letter of the organic pronouncements of his party when he suggested that congress provide a na tional scheme J. for presidential pri maries. Nv that the Panama canal Is in suet, -.utpe that a ship can go through it, why not arrange things so that a vessel flying the English flag shall make the first trip? Great Britain, you1 know, has an Idea that she would like to boss the operations ot the great waterway. Perhaps It might also be well to divide this honor with Japan, which seems to have similar hanker ings la the premises. SOLVING THE RACE PROBLEM. How Industrial training, under a system of supervising industrial teach ers, .has not only vitalised the negro rural schools into which it has been introduced. -but is also having far- reaching economic and social effects, on rural conditions generally, Is de scribed by Jackson Davis, state super visor of elementary schools ln Vir ginia, in the December issue of the Southern Workman, published by Hampton institute. Mr. Davis says in part: "A few efforts had been made here and there throughout the south to tie up the work of the country school to the life of the home and the farm, but it was not until the establishment of the Jeanes fund for negro rural schools that a general effort was made in this direction. In Henrico county, Virginia, in the fall of 108, following a conference of the school officials of the county with agents of the Jeanes fund, a supervising industrial teacher was employed and put to work in all of the colored schools of the county. The pioneer work of Virginia Ran dolph in overcoming the Indifference of her own people, organizing im provement leagues at each school. In troducing simple forms of Industrial work, and in the enlistment of the active interest of the white people ln these efforts for improvement In prac tical ways, met with such success that a new spirit was soon ablaze in each colored community, and the schools were transformed in appearance and in the general character of their work. Other counties all over the south have taken up this work through the aid of the Jeanes fund and pronounced It good. "The general plan,' so successful in its early demonstration, has continued to grow and meet with approval. It has developed initiative among the colored rural people: and it has tied their interests together in a school for a better neighborhood. The moral ef fect has been noticed by the white people around them, and their support of this movement has been hearty. "Supervising industrial teachers were employed in 130 counties in the southern states last session. This work has been made possible in most cases by the Jeanes fund, but the counties, as they see the splendid re sults, are putting up more money from local funds for the support of the work, and in some counties the teacher's salary is paid entirely from local school funds. "In sending out trained colored teachers to supervise the rural schools we are putting the best leadership of the negro race to work in the task of bringing about better training, better farming, better Hviner among the ne groes in the country districts. "The school is almost the only point where conscious effort is made by the white people to influence and develop the negro race, and here is a great opportunity for constructive work, as indeed the supervising teachers are showing. In organizing the school improvement leagues they are bring ing the older colored people together in the interest of better things, and are calling forth the spirit of self help which is indispensable to their progress. "One of the most promising' de velopments in negro education has been the co-operation of the super vising industrial teacher with the farm demonstration agent,' ln work ing during the summer months with clubs of girls who make home gar dens and can their vegetables and fruits for winter use. This feature of the work was begun in Virginia two years ago in four counties. During the past summer it was carried on in 14. Under this plan the industrial teachers are employed for the entire 12 months. At the close of the school term they organize garden clubs among the larger girls. They visit them in their homes, meet them in groups, give them practical instruc tion for their gardens, and teach can ning, cooking, and sewing in the homes. The teachers are in great de mand during the summer months, not only among the girls, but among their mothers as well, for they -too have been eager to learn the 'government way' of canning vegetables. "Negroes, either as tenants, owners, or laborers, cultivate farms In the south with an area of 100,000,000 acres. This is an area equal to four times that of the state of Virginia. Much of this land, as we know. Is cul tivated in the very poorest fashion. We shall have a one-sided civilization as long aa we have twentieth century methods in our cities and eighteenth century methods on our farms. If we deny the negro the training which he needs to make a better citizen and a better man and a better farmer, we suppress our rural life and hold down our average to a lower level, and we continue to have him wear out the soil, which is our greatest natural wealth.-' Training of the right kind that will replace obsolete methods with intelligent methods, that will re place insanitary cabins with respecta ble homes, neglected shacks with at tractive school houses, a superstitious religion with an intelligent work for the coming of the Kingdom of God on earth this is the rural civilisation which some think must be wrought as by a miracle, but which nevertheless seems to be slowly evolving as a result of the new type of education which I have attempted to describe." EYESIGHT AND AUTO DRIVERS. Owing to the rapidly increasing numbers of automobiles, used' for business as well as pleasure purposes, every state should require that all ap plicants for a license to drive a mo tor vehicle pass an eyesight test. All railroads and many electric car-line companies require such a test. Yet, ln a great majority of states, the pro spective driver of an automobile need only affirm in his application that he has no physical or mental infirmities, says the Journal of the- American Medical Association.' When one stops to consider that a railroad engineer drives over a steel track, guarded by signals and watchmen, and over a route with which he is thoroughly fa- millar. whereas the autotst drives over any road he chooses, not pro tected by lights and signals, and in some cases traveling almost as rapid ly as a locomotive. It is plainly im perative that he posse aa as good sight M tne man m the engine cab. If one eye la highly defective the field of vi sion is greatly impaired and the driv er leas able to maneuver hla car in an emergency. Paris, Munich and other European cities have seen the necessity of an examination of the eyes of all taxi-drivers and are strict ln the enforcement of this protective measure. It la more than likely that defective vision is next in order of frequency to the overuse of alcoholic drinks as a cause of- automobile ac cidents. We can, and should, pro tect pedestrians and drivers of ve hicles from injury- to a- much greater extent than we do. Each applicant for a license to drive a motor vehicle should be required to give satisfac tory proof of at least moderately good vision. Too many people are altogether too long on theory. A good joke Is usually one at some body else's expense. Not a few humans emulate the crab who makes progress by going back wards. No matter how agile a man may be, It's impossible for him to dodge trou ble headed his way. A deaf person is generally able' to hear everything not intended for his .ears no matter how softly it is whis pered. Extend kindness to many people and you will be viewed with suspicion, ad vises the Liberal News. The Coff eyville Journal's Idea of a real hypocrite is a batdheaded barber trying to Induce a customer to buy a hair tonic. This is the. open season for wolf hunts, remarks the Florence Bulletin. where amusement Is furnished not only to the men and dogs but also to the wolves. It's the belief of the Parsons Sun that the girl who is looking for a man whom she can consider good enough for herself is embarking on a long quest of unfulflllment There Is this thing about it, de clares the Ottawa Herald: If the groundhog hasn't come out of his burrow in the past week he has been missing some mighty fine weather.- How a dog must wonder, thinks the society reporter, of the Hiawatha World, how a man can go to the mar ket and get all the good meat he wants in exchange for something a dog wouldn't pick up if it found it in the road. A woman of this city crossed a va cant lot, and her hose became covered with burrs, relates the -Atchison- Globe A chivalrous man saw her plight, and offered to pluck the burrs from her stockings. She consented, but no scandal has resulted, as-he -did' not pluck the burrs until she had arrived home and sent the hose to him by parcel post. A card from Mike Levendofsky, in the Belleville Telescope: Someone broke into my cellar Thursday night, January 15. When' you empty my fruit jars please return them back to Mike Levendofsky and. also the lock from the cellar door, which you have taken, and if you want to- save your life please don't open my cellar door any more as there will be a trap for you. This has been the third time my cellar has been robbed, so please let it be the last time. If you enter my door again your life will be ended and you will steal no more. Globe Sights BT THE ATCHISON GLOBE. Sidelines have ruined many a good man. Nothing stops knocking like Investiga tion. A lot of real guardian angels don't look like angels. Not everything which doesn't meet your approval is an outrage. It .seems to be hard to be a good sales man without being a. bore. Trouble with Increasing age is that it Increases one's prejudices, Instead of di minishing them. Ever notice that when two boys are Playing with a wagon the smaller boy Is always the horse? After your children quit riding on your back you take on a load you don't have to hold on. No man who Is afraid of his wife has any right to talk bravely about going down with the ship. An old-fashioned woman certainly hates 1 ner neivnoor woman wno naa mgn ideals and a dirty house. .When a woman loves a man to the point of distraction other women say of her: "Has she no pride left?" It frequently happens that the care free individual causes considerable worry among the folks at home. A man expects a telephone girl to dis play as much patience as his wife, which is an unreasonable expectation. An Old Sport says he doesn't dance these daring dances, but saw most of them before society got hold of them. Incongruity is never better denlcted than durlne a vaudeville act when a decollete woman in risque tights sings a tender lullaby. j QUAKER MEDITATIONS. rFrom the Philadelphia Record. Only a fool trusts to luck for his hap piness. Many a man robs Peter to pay Paul so he can stand Pat. Hell gets a little hotter every time the devil unearths a new hypocrite. No man has ever reached perfection by following the advice he gives others. It's easy enough to forgive our enemies. after we have had a chance to get even with them. Conscience Is a still, small voice, and sometimes It also seems to have an Im pediment in its speech. Those who attain the heights of folly are the ones most apt to look down on the rest of us. Some people are conversational spend thrifts. The less they nave to say the mora they say it Man's hesitancy In snaring his good luck Is only equaled by his willingness to whack up his misfortune.

What ia your guess? However, we fail to discover the pro per connection between this item of social Interest and the case of Dodd Gaston vs. The Hired Girl Question. As we understand it, Mr. Gaston's dif ficulty was in securing a nonpaying guest not keeping her. Furthermore, Mr. Gs!!on does NOT live on Topeka avenue, and he hasn't been chasing any cooks around any depot. One thing noticeable about the new school of politics is the "touchiness" of political plotters. It peeves them to call attention to discrepancies in their state ments. The old-fashioned "framer" had a crust thick as a restaurant tea cup. Oleson. the Chicago murderer, who attempted suicide, waj cured of imbe cility by a surgical operation.

MOULTON. Rldin on the Train. A feller sees some funny things while rldin' on the train. Some things he never saw before and never may again; Fer human nature's at its worst when it's away from home. You don't know any feller's traits until he starts -to roam. There's always some fat gentleman who snores an awful pile. And sleeps all night with his sock feet a-bangin in the aisle. The spinster with the hatbox sits quite primply up in front She has a parrot who pulls oft a shrill nerve-racking stunt The gabby actress person shrieks her troubles and her woes. And peeves the tired passengers who vainly seek repose: The usual train joker is on hand to spring his guff, And sometimes there's a punk quartet that pulls some awful stuff. The brakeman throws the portal wide, lets in the cold and snow. And yells a lot of railroad Greek that no one else could know. The crying kid hits up his song in tones bespeaking pain, A feller gets a dandy rest while rldin on the train. What Troubled Him. A man was feeling depressed and run down and his doctor advised a trip to a rest cure. When the doctor bade the patient good-by. he said: "Now. remem ber my instructions. Adhere to a strict diet take plenty of exercise in the open air. Drink no intoxicants ana smoke one cigar a day and one only." In the course of two weeks the doctor got a letter from the patient which read' as follows: "Dear Doc: I have been getting along pretty well. I am keeping to a strict diet and I take a little exercise in the fresh air every day. I haven't touched a drop of liquor since I have been here, but there is one thing that keeps me sick all the time. It a that blamed one cigar every day and I am finding it hard to follow your Instructions in that regard. I never smoked a cigar before In my life." According to Uncle Aimer. Since Anse Judson moved a three legged planner into his flat he and his wife have to board and room out side.

The Evening Story Not on the Market. (By Joanna Single.) When Marcia had finished taking the junior partner's dictation she arose quietly and left the room with out a glance at the dark young man who sat waiting his friend's conven ience. Ridgewood looked after her critically as the other man whirled around to talk with him. "New girl. Blount? Haven't seen her before," he remarked. "Been here a week. Miss Smith married Davis, our- manager, you know," said Blount, offering his friend a cigar. Ridgewood lit it. "This one'U marry you. Be careful, Blount, ahe'a too pretty." "She's well-bred began Blount, defensively. "Which makes her more danger ous," laughed Ridgewood. "A com mon girl, even with beauty, wouldn't take your fastidious eye. What about Miss Morris? Why don't you marry and settle down? It's great." "If that's all you came in to say, I'm busy," retorted the younger, man. You're like all the rest of the mar-j ried bunch unable to mind your own business, and wild to have all us happy 'singles' trapped because you are. Get out of here!" "I won't," laughed Ridgewood: "I like it here. I like that beautiful glrL sne s a mgn-stepper. Her eyes are like brown velvet with fair hair, too. She'll marry you. How about Lelah Morris? Your whole set ia waiting for -the wedding. Don't disappoint us or marry jout of your class." Ridge way rose, and walked over to the ash tray. "Ridge, get out of here," com manded Blount. "I want to work. You're mere idle rich. You and Maude happen to get along, but most marriages are plain hades. I've no ticed that when you settle down you spend the rest of your days settling up, financially, and a thousand other ways. It's too much see-sawing. I'm not on the marriage market. Get that? My attentions to Miss Morris mean nothing. She knows It, She wouldn't have me If I asked her, you old matchmaker! Clear out I'm busy today." Ridgeway rose laughing. -"Maude sent me to ask you to din ner tonight informal. You're to take out Lelah Morris. But this new secretary will marry you. If you don't watch out! ..We'll expect you to night?" Blount accepted and saw his friend to the outer door. As he re-entered his private office Marcia stood wait ing for him. Her face was deathly wane ana ner voice very quiet Blount started to offer her a chair, but by a gesture she stonned him. "Mr. Blount the door was open. I heard your friend. It may be foolish for me to notice it but let me assure you that your are perfectly safe. I am here simply to earn money because I need it I shall keep my place. And i wouian t marry you If you asked me: not that you're likely to. Next time your friends wish to discuss me, please uiose tne ooor. will you sign this let ter?" Something about her made it im possible for Blount to say anything he wished to say, but as she went out he called: "Miss Way, kindly remember that I said no word of vou but in mnart That is simply Ridgewood's idea of a jus.;, i naie it as Daaiy as you do. i our manner nas Deen perfect here. Let me assure you that I also shall keep my place." He bowed and the girl gave him a queer little smile and passed out. The weeks passed, and Marcia Way became fixed in her nlace. No wom an he had ever had in the office had been so satisfactory. And she was joy to look at Always pleasant she kept the whole office at a distance nevertheless.

Sbe caught the glance, and they stood looking at each other as if hypnotised. Finally the airl's eyes turned away. Blount went into the inner office and slammed the door. He sat down weakly," and swore under his breath. He knew 'what ailed him. "I'm in love with her, fool that I am! And she hates me. Why didn't I see that I was in love with her? My confounded friends! he thought to himself. "She heard Ridgewood. and now madame comes to look her over! she surely felt that too. They've I spoiled things for me. Blount went home very miserable.

Maude Ridgewood said he was like a bear with a sore head, and de- served to have Lelah Morris pick up her charming self and her charming belongings and go back home to ner people to marry a man she had al ways known. And Lelah did Just that very thing; Marcia became very silent and dis tant, and very thin. Once she caught Blount looking intently at the trans parent thinness of her pretty wrist, and flushed deeply, a painful flush that seemed to burn. He turned away, self-conscious and wretched. That evening Jesse Blount's sense came back to him. After dinner he dressed--to go out end then called a taxi and went straight to the apart ment where Marcia, Way lived with her cousin. He had never been In vited, but he went and pretty much like a man to his doom. Once there he rang and asked for Marcia. An elderly, fine-looking woman ush ered him Into a plain but good living room, and went away. Presently Mar cia came in. She wore a pretty little blue dress, and looked very sweet and girlish. She stiffened immediately into her office manner, and stood waiting for him. presupposing that It must be business that brought him. For a moment he stood like a boy. Ill at ease. Then the words came fast and furious. "So I am asking you to marry me, Marcia," he finally finished. "If you can't now, give me a chance to win you.; I've already said forty times that I love you. You have no right to de spise me because a foolish friend spoke lightly of you. Give me Si chance. Are you made of ice?" She was stiU standing like a statue, but at his last words, he saw tears run like stiver drops from under ner uas ana ia upon her cheeks. She tried to speak, and swayed toward him a little and he caught her in his arms. "Dearest can you care do you he asked. She pulled away from him a Mttle.

The great majority of men prance around with bent knees, looking like the shrimping figure of Mr. Plpp in C. D. Gibson's draw ings. Much is being said in condemna tion of these figures.

Still, the same thing Is true of the contra dance of the grandfathers or the waits -of yesterday. No one condemns dancing more sharply than the small boy.

The opinion was expressed at the Con ference for Race Betterment just held at Battle Creek.

THREE PERSONS OUT OF TEN ARECARRO IHSAICITY AXD MAY TRANSMIT IT TO THEIR CHILDREN tr -t-f tt 'X-' X.VV-- Albert Wiggam ud Albert E. Wiggam and Insanity Chart. Editor s Note Albert E. Wiggam. the well known Journalist and lec turer, has written a series of articles for this newspaper on the general sub ject of eugenics. Mr. Wiggam has studied the subject cany years and is regarded as an authority, although many scientists differ with him on im portant points. Because space Is given to Mr. Wiggam's views in these col umns, it does not necessarily follow that this newspaper indorses all the statements contained in his articles. BT ALBERT E. WIGGAM. At the great heredity and eugenics laboratory at Cold Springs Harbor. N. Y., the greatest study ever made of the pedigrees of insane persons has Just recently been completed. The authors. Dr. Rosanoff and Miss Orr, say that this study shows that 31 per cent of the general sample of humanity which they studied are either abnormal nerv ously or capable of transmitting the "nervous taint." In the two family charts shown above, the black symbols mean per sons who are either insane, or "queer," eccentric, or have nervous prostration, extreme alcoholism or some highly ab normal tendency. The shaded symbols are normal per sons themselves. They have never shown any abnormality. But their pedigrees show them to be "carriers," that is, should they marry a person of Similar pedigree either part or all the children will not be normal. Insanity Can Be Bred Oat. But the new- heredity which this great laboratory is giving to the world says that the persons represented "by the open symbols above if married to persons of the same kind of ancestry will never have insane children. It is bred out. The reproductive cells have no factors dropped out. These author ities believe a man goes insane or is eccentric or becomes one of these per sons that nobody on earth can live with solely because certain "factors" were somehow left out of the life cell from which he was born. If these factors had been present he would never have been abnormal. Insanity is caused by something left out, not by something put in. Who could ever guess that two pure white chickens when mated would ever produce deeply colored off spring? The reason given by Prof. Wil liam Bateson of Cambridge university In England, who produced such chick ens, is that each white one possesses in its eggs some factor which by itself cannot produce color. But, mate them together, and thus bring the two fac tors into union and lo, from white par ents we get dark, almost black, off spring. Now. if insanity, imbecility and the like should be due to the same general causes, that is. if these terrible scourges to humanity can be shown to be of the same general nature, and ex plainable on the same principles, what blood lines are being brought together GlMJMAGAWjrfAfrm770My The genuine Cocoa and Chocolate TITS MONDAY.

Importance of Eugenics. Love may laugh today at eugenics, but tomorrow when a defective child which eugenics could have prevented appears it will weep and not laugh. Eugenics does not take the romance out of love. No. When two healthy persons marry, sound in body and mind and a child comes to bless the home, a perfect babe, they are happy. Tes, the whole world Is happy. But another babe comes. Again per fect. Their happiness knows no bounds. A third babe, but ah,- deaf mute! Weak-minded! By and by an alcoholic develops An epileptic or an incorrigible! Then indeed the rom ance has gone out of love and gone forever. True, the frightened mother says it was because she fell down the cellar steps before the babe was born. Let her console her poor heart with such fictions and superstition. But science knows that it was be cause they forgot that back yonder one of them had a grandmother that had fits. One had a grandfather whom nobody could ever get along with. They didn't call him crazy, but he was. Bring those two lines together as these splendid young people unwit tingly did, and love ceases to be a romance and becomes a tragedy for Doth the individuals and the state. And 25 or 30 per cent of the general population doubtless could be so mated that defective children would appear- But science through the new heredity believes they could be so mated that except in rare cases defective children would never be born. WITCHCRAFT PAPER SOLD. Document of Colonial Days Brings $65 at Sale.

TALK THROUGH AIR Twenty Wlreles Instruments In Use In Topeka. Fifteen Boys of High School Age Talk In Homes. L'JUO LOVE i:i ATMOSPHERE Even Girls Are Learning Jagged Bine Conversation. Apparatus Can Be Made for Less Than Two Dollars. Take a parasol, a cane, and a regular i wireless telegraph instrument. Go out on top of some hill around Topeka. Hold the umbrella above your head, stick the cane In the ground and listen. In a few seconds you will hear the tick-tick of the wireless waves and you can communicate with the operators in Topeka. This shows the simplicity of the wire less. It reveals, also, the secret of the popularity of this means of aerial con versation. The theory alone Is respon sible for the fact that in Topeka today there are twenty wireless apparatuses in operating order. And with three ex ceptions, all of these instruments are owned and operated by boys of high school age. This isn't all. It is only a question of a short time until the energetic Topeka lads will have wireless telephones in their homes. Already C. H. Withington, In structor in the high school, has the equipment for the telephones. At this time the telephones can be operated at a maximum distance of only 400 miles but Topekans will condescend to speak at this short distance as long as they are able to buzz their telegraph electric waves and catch messages sent from battleships in the Gulf of Mexico and off the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. Topeka Wireless Only Two Tears Old. And the wireless In Topeka is only two years old! Two years ago John Warner, Fif teenth and College avenues, installed the first instruments in the city. For many months the aerial extending from the roof of his home attracted the at tention and curiosity of passersby. Then the high school took it up under the direction of C. H. Withington. Washburn college next took a hand In the cross-country atmospheric conver sation and now twenty aerials are pen etrating Topeka' s sky line with pros pects for twenty more before the middle of the summer. The apparatuses are situated in at tics, barns, bedrooms and towers. Ronrea of ToDeka boys who formerly spent their evenings around the corner drug stores in xne uutaniria hazy- clouds of pool halls, now sit miii the blue lightning of the wire- i... anri nenetrate the mysteries of tha air. It is the indoor sport In Topeka this winter. Every day tne nign scnooi station is visited by young Marconis who are building their own aerials. It will not be long before the Jagged waves are making breakers of the state house dome, tne juaison buck, the church steeples and the tall of fice buildings in Topeka. Apparatus Only Costs Sl.SO. A boy can install wireless equip ment for less than two dollars, Mr. Withington says. He can wrap his tuning coil, make his fixed condenser from tinfoil, parann ana paper ana with minerals and a contact point as semble his rectifier. Then erect an aerial not less than thirty feet from v. rmiind and von have It! After that a boy must learn the 1 Continental alphabet of dots and dashes. It differs) slightly from the Morse and can be learned in a short time. Soon he will be able to send, then receive and, with a powerful in strument, he can listen in on Uncle Sam's navy communications, his army maneuvers in the air and record the dots and dashes as proudly as if he possessed a license and sat in the lux ury and importance of a crowded trans-Atlantic ocean liner. Topeka doesn't have a regulation licensed station bat it will not be long before the coveted rights are possessed here. The high school has applied for the privileges of an exper iment station and the use of any wave length and any power current. C. H. Withington will be the licensed oper ator. Then try and sink Titanics, if you dare! Mifcfaig Love by Wireless. When the girls of the high school learn their dot-dash dictionary and possess the necessary apparatus making love and "dates' by wireless will be an every day and night event in Topeka. Several lassies 'are hard at work in the midst of the blue- spitting-electricity now. There is one disadvantage to this. James .Hess, a Washburn freshman declares. Any J AinJSrX 's Past Week as Depicted by WEDNESDAY. William Allen White decorated with order of Doc Cook by Mr. Capper. one in town may listen in on the con versation. "But we will get around that," he said. "It is an easy matter to adopt a secret code with your party and coo away through the air without detec tion. There is a wonderful opportun ity, you know." Depend upon a college freshman for that! There are many opportunities of the wireless locally. Someone has suggested that the In struments be used as alarm clocks. Others, that the college and high school instructors use them as a means of warning to tardy students. Leave it to the rah-rahs to find a way. Only a Few in the State. The Washburn and high school equipments are capable of receiving messages from all parts of the United States. The students spend their evenings now listening in to waves that travel from ocean to ocean. But there is a law against telling just what passes along the cloud route and. the Topeka enthusiasts declare they are obedient. As a rule, most important starry conversations are in secret code and the amateur operator is un able to make the messages readable. The O. S.," the signal of dis tress, Is another dangerous call for the Topeka amateurs.' The injand sta tions, like Topeka and Washburn, are not allowed to give this call. This means that a shipwreck on the Kaw is shamelessly neglected by the gov ernment. "I heard an S. O. S. the other night." Mr. Withington said today. "But it came from one of the local instruments and it failed to stir up any interest." ,-.a Boys Talk to Kansas Forts. In Topeka there are twenty wireless instruments. Of this number probably only one-half are capable of sending. The others will receive that is all. In a short time the amateurs will have fully equipped stations. In the usual boy-attic affair, communications can be maintained between the Topeka home made stations and Manhattan. Leavenworth and Fort Riley. The young operators will hold a meet ing at the high school soon and agree on calls and all the rules of the wire less game. The question of connecting transmitting instruments to keep with in the law will be one topic of discus sion. They will guard against sending waves of too much length. Here is a partial Jist of the young men using the wireless in Topeka: John Warner, Fifteenth and College avenue; Don Fay, 1214 Harrison street; Robert Kmbleton. 929 Morris avenue; Francis Stone, 1165 Woodward avenue; William McClintock, 1267 Topeka avenue; Wil liam Beasley, 1517 Western avenue; Robert Trump, 1254 Van Buren street; Kenneth Sutherland, 1411 Harrison street; Paul Sweeney, 1818 Bolles ave nue; James Porter, 735 Morris avenue; James Hughes, 418 Taylor street, and the high school and Washburn stations.

BOWSER IS riTEEr."?TED. And No One Can Tell How Science May Have Suffered. "It will be grand!" "My name will be in the papers!" "Mrs. Bowser shall not discourage me!" "Medical science will honor my name!" It was thus that Mr. Bowser com muned with himself as he rode home on the car. He was so wrapped up in his project, whatever it was, that a fat man stepped on his feet without even bringing a protest.. Mrs.-Bowser and the cat were wait ing on the steps, but he passed them with a lofty inclination of the head. Mr. Bowser had been very quiet for a week, and one of his "spells" was due. What form would the outbreak take? Mrs. Bowser watched him fur tively, and wondered whether he was going to experiment with the gas me ter or overhaul the interior of the piano. He treated her with a bland condescension during the dinner hour and had no information to give, and it was not until the meal was finished that he said: "HE "roe. SEAT oN tHE T Of "Mrs. Bowser, you may have seen something in the papers about the dispute between Professor Boxly and Dr. Hurley?" "I don't remember. "Probably not. If it had been a bit of scandal, you'd have remembered all about it, but as it related to medical science you didn't think It worth while reading. The dispute, as I may in form you, arose over the cause 'of malaria. The doctor asserted that mosquitoes caused malaria by inocu lating human beings, and the profes sor contended that tha moon was di rectlv resnonsible for it." "But how could the moon be re sponsible? What an absurd idea!" "Don't go too fast, my dear woman. If you had read his articles, you would not call the Idea absurd. Have you ever noticed a mist rising from the earth at night?" "Of course." Well, that mist is caused by the moon, even when the moon is not to be seen. The mist is sometimes quite dense. Sometimes you cannot per ceive it. The mist Is composed of the germs of malaria. There Is always most mist at a full moon, and conse quently the number of cases of ma laria are greater. Do you follow me?" "No, I don't," replied Mrs. Bowser. "I don't believe the moon is any more i responsible for malaria than my old shoes, while it is quite likely that i mosquitoes are. "Good! Good!" chuckled Mr. Bow ser. "I am glad to hear you express a decided opinion. We now come to the point in the case. I have decided in the Interests of medical science to prove or disprove the professor's the ory. "W-what are you going to do?" Offer myself as a sacrifice. -To night we will have glorious moon. and there will be a mist. I will sit In the full orb of night and make a square test. If malaria follows, then it roiiows that Proressor uoxiy is right. If not, then I will permit my self to be bitten by mosquitoes every nteht next summer.' "But If yen have a bad case of ma laria you may die!", protested Mrs. Bowser. "Exactly, my dear woman exact ly," said Mr. Bowser with a flourish of his hand. "If I die. however, it will be in the interests of science and save thousands of others. Someone has got to sacrifice himself, and why shouldn't It be me?" Mrs. Bowser could say nothing fur ther. Having made up his mind to sit in the moonlight, Mr. Bowser would sit there even if the house took fire. He was in-no hurry, however. He got down the encyclopedia and looked up "malaria", and "moequl- 1S14. FRIDAY. Capt. Joe Waters goes to Lawrence with views on grape Juice and politics., toes" and by 10 o'clock he felt him self thoroughly posted. As Mrs. Bowser was ready to go up stairs she. asked: "Where do you propose to carry out this experiment?" "I shall sit on the front steps," he replied. "And how long will it take?" "I cant say about that. I'll give It two hours anyhow. You go right to bed and don't worry about me. It will take the malaria germs a day or two to develop. I think I'll take the cat out for company v" Five minutes later he took a seat on the top step, with the cat at his left hand. It was a warm and balmy night, and he was in his shirt sleeves and bareheaded. The cat wasn't up on malaria or mosquitoes, and she didn't care a continental whether the moon was full or not in sight at all, but she purred in contentment and kept her eyes open for flying bugs. Mr. Bowser wasn't doing his work in a slipshod fashion. He had a note book and pencil with him and he Jotted down notes for the benefit- of Professor Boxly and mankind in. gen eral: "10 o'clock Just sat down in the fuU light of the moon." "10:05 Think I observe a slight mist." "10:20 Feel shivery, and the cat has shuddered once or twice." "10:30 Slight coldness up and down spine." "10:40 The cat is looking around in a strange manner,- as If seeing germs." "11 o'clock -Cat still uneasy, and I believe that I've absorbed the germs of malaria. If the disease should prove fatal That was the end of his notes. Just then an old woman with a cane and r r."i .-1 u uttoiici vaiue luirug Biiu iiaueu ui the gate. Mr. Bowser was watching for mists and gave her no attention until she opened the gate and entered and said: "Yes, it's the same man, and now he's got to make things right!" "What s the matter, my good wom an?" he asked. The matter is that you Dassed a lead nickel off on a poor widder.. I want a good nickel In exchange." "You mean you come here asking for charity and I gave you a bad coin?" "That's it, sir.. You knew I was a widder who hadn't bread in the house, but you worked a game on me!" "I never did," exclaimed Mr. Bow ser. "You must have mistaken the house.", "Not at all, sir. I remember your bald head and red face and way of speaking. Yes, it was you, and now you must do the right thing or I'll make trouble." "Woman, go on. I know nothing about it. You are either drunk or crary!" But she refused to go on.' On the contrary, she began talking In such shrill tones that the neighbors waken ed and looked out of their windows. Mr. Bowser forgot the moon, the mists, mosquitoes and malaria and seized the woman by the arm and led her to the gate. She fought back and raised her voice still higher; and of a sudden two policemen came running. They saw a woman in the grasp of a man, and that was sufficient. They seized Mr. Bowser on either side and wrenched and jammed and jerked him.

The moon still shed her glorious beams, hut he saw her not. There was a mist hovering around the cat waiting at the gate, but he gave it no heed. With sighs and groans he drew himself up the steps and kicked open the door, and as he saw Mrs. Bowser in the hall he ex tended his arm until his finger almost touched her nose and hoarsely whis pered: "Would be assassin, behold your work!

One of the peculiar customs on board Mississippi River boats which changing conditions have been unable to do away with is the fixed habit of steamboat men for having their coffee promptly at 4 o'clock. The custom dates further back than the memory of Capt. Bender or Capt. NeiT Dukes and was probably taken from ocean vessels, where It Is the cus tom to nave a cup of tea In the middle of the afternoon. River men drink a much otronirer beverase than Dink tea. and tbe black coffee on steamboats Is known all over the country. 1 The 4 o'clock rofTeV An'la steamboat is t..e center of social life of the boat, and when the captain says to the mate, "Have you had your coffee?" all class distinc tions are dropped, for back in the cook house It Is man to man. In that forum all matters relating to the boat are discussed with the utmost freedom and without the restraint which may be felt when the captain Is on the roof and the mate on the deck. In winter time there is a sort ef red hot stove league around the kitchen table, where the records of the Robert XL Lee and the Natchez are compared with those of the first Kate Adams or some other famous boat. The records of the per formances of famous steamboats are car ried in the heads of young roof watchmen and cub-pilots just the same as the bat ting averages of "Ty" Cob and Hans Wagner In the head of the average small boy. v The cook house Is also the source of all the steamboat news, and an unestab lished rumor is always branded "cook house talk," which means that something about to happen is being talked about by steamboat men. The custom is kept up, even when the boat is in port. On towboats the cook house is mors of an institution than on the packets, because the men have less to divert them than on a passenger carrying boat. A passenger very seldom gets an Invita tion back to the cook house, and It Is not good form to go unless accompanied by one of the crew. The steamboat frater nity is very tenacious about holding on te certain customs and traditions, but the 4 o'clock coffee hour has lasted longer than any of the others. Steamboat coffee Is, different, too, from the beverage as it is known on land. Owing to the lact that It Is not practical to carry cows on board, steamboat men generally prefer to take it black In great ironstone cups, which hold a little less than a quart. It helps to keep away malaria, they say. Memphis Commorclaft Appeal.. s

The little yel low duck yearns after1 the soaring lark and his showers of silver notes the lark sings "Oh, to be a little yellow duck and be able to float so like a hollow gold ball on the breast of the river!" One night, only a little while ago, I watched the eyes of two of these feminine creatures whom we call "wo man" and girl." And in the black. seductive eyes of the one and the wide gray eyes of the other I saw, speaking aloud, so whomever listened might hear the sparrow and the golden canary the butterfly and the daisy the bright-eyed red-fox and the little house dog. The music was rising and falling trembling and swelling on the cloying strains of a Spanish dance; flower-petals fluttered from the droop ing wreaths 'round the gilded col umns and from the breasts of danc ing girls, gemming the floor underfoot. And the eyes of these two as they passed in the swing of the dance sought each other out, homed and envied envied ENVIED! Once they sat at the extreme ends of a long, soft couch and the admiration and envy lived and burned from Woman-face to Girl's and from Girl-face back again to Woman's. And I .wished they both knew. But neither did never will per haps. The little maid in her plain white frock and her. hair down, her back yearned to be one with this lithe and full-blown creature to have her limbs in the sheen of close-wrapped brocade her shoulders as round and broad and bare her hair as gold and deeply waved pears in her ears rouge on her lips wisdom in her eyes mystery all about her the chki of a princess this ability to talk to- man the splendor of speech and garmenting and movement The finished, lovely, and sometimes weary woman had her heart In her eyes and lips when she looked long and often at the little white maid with her timid feet and modest eyes "Oh, to be just that again 18 slim of neck with a sleek little face all round and well' washed and unpowdered with my hair like that so soft and plain to have my eyes as young and ignor ant and astonished as that to be so smooth of lip with the satin of baby skin drawn over the red to have a little frock like that all full and white childish pink hands my gracious, what a lovely thing she is!" And so it Iss both in Fableland and Real. But if they two could only know if the daisy only knew just once that the butterfly envied and thought her beautiful! If the butterfly could only see that the daisy envied her, why, then, you see, they'd both be happier!

GEMS OF LIQUID GOAL German Scientist's Discovery "May Lead to Manufacture Has Prof. Otto Lummer of Breslau opened the way for the manufacture of genuine diamonds, diamonds made exactly as they were made by nature, through the cooling and crystallisation of molten carbon? It is yet too early to exoress an opinion as to the pos sibilities of his discovery of a process of rendering coal fluid, but scientists admit' that one of these possibilities is the production of diamonds. If coal can be melted, modern science should be i able to make It cool and crystallise under high pressure, and that is precisely how diamonds were formed. Professor Lummer. who is director of the physical institute of the Univer- 1 sity of Breslau, is well known to the American scientific world. In 1893 he went to .Chicago as delegate of the uerman empire to the international electrical congress, and In 1907 de livered a series of lectures before Columbia university. His researches have for years dealt with problems of lighting and light rays. He has be lieved that carbon coujd be melted, provided a sufficiently high tempera ture, which he estimated at 4,000 de grees centigrade, could be attained. Carbon, however, turns directly Into vapor at sucn high temperatures, pass ing through the intermediate fluid stage if air with its oxygen Is present. Professor Lummer inclosed a large arc lamp In a glass container and ex hausted the air. Then, using; a pow erful electric current, he was able to render the carbon so fluid that drops formed at the ends of the carbon pencils. t..1;;- Professor Lummer now plans to conduct further experiments in which the carbon shall be subjected to high- tension currents under a pressure of some 100 atmospheres, but la a eous medium which" contains no oxy gen.

Miss Jean Ne ville Campbell, who is now living in Paris. Miss Campbell is at present making her home with an American family, Mr. and Mrs. Cowden, of Den ver. Colorado, who are living at 11 bfs Rue du Val-de-Grace. Paris. Miss Campbell was born and brought up in Topeka, graduated from Washburn college, and took her M. A. degree from Kansas university In the depart ment of Romance Languages. She was assistant to Miss Bass, of Wash burn for two years, and last year had the chair of Romance Languages at historic Hiram college, Hiram. Ohio, with which President Garfield was long connected, she went abroad In June of last year and studied in the University at Grenoble, and In the fall she traveled in Switzerland and France. She is now attending lectures at the Sorbonne in Paris. A part of her letter follows: "We had a real French Christmas, and that means staying up all night about. In fact, that's just the meaning of the French name for the celebration.. Re veillon. The Cowdens have a French girl who comes every afternoon to teach the children and to grown-ups too, to speak French. She stayed with the children Christmas eve so the rest of us could go to midnight mass, and prepared a Reveillon dinner for About nine o'clock we fared forth and walked a long way on the Grande Boulevards, took a tram along the Boulevard St. Michel, across the Island and along the Boulevard de Sebasta pol, and then walked to the Opera. All the boulevards were thronged with people and lined with little booths. A Parisian named Colet had made a fortune in the manufacture of these booths, where trinkets and toys are sold. When Colet died he left a large fund to the city to use in the Collars Customers r-l sometimes a man "tries as out with a few collars. We return them to him in the condition that pleases him. Then he compares laundries with a friend and the friend sends us his work. There's a reason." Let our wagon call for your, work next time. construction of the booths which were to be rented to 'petits fabrlcants of Paris to enable them to disDose of the wares they and their families made during the rest of the year. The booths are put up a week before Christmas and remain until a week af ter New Tears. And they do a very good business. "At 10:30 we arrived at the church of St. Sulplce, and were just in time to Set seats for the mass which began at midnight. The building is a great old stone church with a roof so high you can scarcely see it at night and a stone floor1 hot a cosy place for a winter evening. The music we heard was worth waiting for. It began with an organ prelude. I think I heard Dean Whitehouae say that the organ was the finest church organ in Paris. I know it was lovelier that I had dreamed an organ could be. I shall be satisfied if the harps in Heaven sound like it, and the choir of St. Sul plce would not be out of place there, either. At midnight the choir began. The Christian Midnight,'' the hymn that is always sung, and the time was that of our own hymn that was called the Austrian hymn. The music was all we could hear of the mass. When the choir was not singing, the organ went on alone. We knew the priests were singing the Christmas mass and In front of the high altar, was a child in a manger cradle, with a man and woman kneeling beside the cradle, and the cattle all around. Sometimes they have the shepherds and the wise men, and the figures are left for a week after Christmas. "When we got home the odor of roast goose greeted us. but before we could have dinner. the children had to be wakened and dressed and allowed to see the Christmas tree which had been set' up In my room, and the things Santa Claus had brougnt. 1 nan toaas of presents of my own.- and among them a box of candy ordered from a Paris confectionary. The box itself was polished wood bound with brass. (The candy was not so good as you would find In such a box at home. The Americans have a reputation for car ing more for sweets than anyone else.) Some of the things from Topeka were like the things we see in the Paris shops, so Topeka is not far behind afterall. "The Reveillon dinner had quite tne traditional menu of the French, roast goose. staffed with chestnuts, salade Russe. finished with cheese, and American plum padding. At S:30 I went to bed. The next day I went out to dinner at the apartment of some art students, an American- girt and a French girl. All the guests were American, and so was the dinner turkey and mince pie. -There was one man in the company, and. he had to carve the turkey, a thing he "had never done before. r "Well. It was an odd Christmas, but I shall always remember It as a pleas-, ant one." A pretty petticoat which may be made of- crepe de chine or batiste is shown here on the left. Two lengths of shadow lace edging are turned with scalloped edge out on either side of a heavier lace headlnr through which a satin ribbon la run and tied in a flat two-looped bow. The center corset cover for wear under lace or chiffon blouses was made of a shadow lace band about the bust with a shirred band of net finished on either edge by a narrow lace frill and decorated with a garland of chiffon roses. Through this net band a satin ribbon was pass ed and tied In a bow at the front. The shoulder straps are of shadow lace in sertion. Another pretty cover or one white batiste is banded with shadow lace and hand embroidery with should er straps of lace. The last of a series of four enter tainments was given Friday night at the Central Congregational church, un der the auspices of the Woman's so ciety and the Intermediate Endeavor society. The church was crowded, and people were standing at the back of the audience room. The program was riven under the direction of Horace Whitehouse, dean of the fine arts de partment of Washburn college. Mr. Whitehouse appeared first on the pro gram, giving two pipe organ numbers. Prelude and Fugue in E major, by Saint-Saens, and the Marche Nuptaile, by Guilmant. The chc pel choir, composed of sev enteen or eighteen members, sang two groups of songs, including the Ave Maria, Cherubim song (Gretchaninoff) Glory to the Trinity. Presentation of Christ in the Temple, Angels Ever Blessed, In Silent Night. May Song, and a Cherubim song by Tschaikowsky. The piano solos were furnished by Mr. W. D. Boughton, and Included Etude in F minor, by Liszt. Rhapsodies in E flat minor, by Brahms, Am Meeresstrande, by Kullak, and Taran telle, by Mosz kowski. Miss Helen Hogeboom sang two short numbers. "O Sea. Dreadful Sea." by Delibes. and "Marriage of the Roses,' by Franck. A Tschailkowsky number was played by Miss Gladys Gaw, violin. Miss Phebe Gaylord, 'cello, and Mr. Emery Hunt, viola. The entertainments have been pop ular and successful and will probably be continued during another season. They may be made a permanent feat ure of the work of the societies inter ested. They have furnished a high grade of recreation for those who have attended them. The concert last night was one of classic excellence and educational vatae.

18 LE8S0N XI. PHY8ICAL CULTURE. To keep young and attractive looking, la the desire of every woman as she approaches middle age. How to be beautiful is tbe query of every girl nearing womanhood. This passionate desire for physical charm eems inherent in women of all ages and yet, paradoxi cal as it sounds, comparatively few women are willing to take the necessary pains, and exercise the healthy elf-denial, that means physical attractiveness. THE PHY8IQUE HOLDS THE EYE. While beauty of face generally first attracts us, it is the physique that holds the eye. Every woman not born a cripple or deformed has a right to a good figure, correct carriage and easy, graceful movements. Un fortunately, these are not always given by nature; in moat cases work is necessary to acquire and retain I beUeve everyone after childhood needs some form f physical culture. Children in their play exercise very muscle of their body, but after playtime is passed only certain sets of muscles are used. This is the time when it is necessary to supplement with daily, systematic exercise. Contrary to general opinion, hard work does sot make a strong, well-developed body. 1 Manual labor Bakes certain muscles strong, but i doesn't encour- age general strength, grace or poise. If this were so, ire should find in farming communities the highest types of physical perfection, for it is certainly the men and women workers in the country who accomplish the greatest amount of physical labor. But the truth la that farm work does not tend to grace or perfect development. THE WOMAN ON THE FARM. As a rule women work indoors and are even de barred the advantage that the man has in working always in the pure air. There is, also a deadly monot ony about the woman's share of 'farm work, and work done without lightness and gladness will make the worker listless of movement and stooping of shoulders. As a rule, however, farmers' wives are healthy women; their lot is far preferable to that of factory workers and under certain conditions better than office or store employment. But farm-bred women age young. In many cases they succumb to the sameness of their tasks, and the body becomes bent and stiff while still In the youth of life. Physical culture is as necessary to the woman on the farm as to the shut-in denizens of a big city. It is indeed difficult to point out any one occupation that develops every muscle of the body. The child's games and the "sports" of the adolescent answer the youthful demanda for physical exercise, but few older people feel this demand.' They are comfortable as they are, and as years go on there is less and less desire for physical exercise. At the same time most people admit that they are neither perfectly healthy nor well proportioned. It should be borne in mind by every body that weight and proportion can be controlled; that muscular development is not a gift of nature, but the result of systematic training. NOT VANITY ALONE. It is not personal vanity alone, but the desire for personal efficiency that is behind the cult for physi cal culture. I have little patience with people who proclaim it a matter of indifference whether they grow tout or not, or whether their figures keep young and lithe. Indifference to one's physical appearance la cither laziness or a certain form of egotism, not at all commendable. i Inertness, disinclination to exercise, a little aching In the muscles are characteristic of middle age. The man or woman who does not take systematic exercise Is thei first to grow stilt and heavy and to put on an undue amount of flesh. One who has always kept in good condition, whose muscles are firm and elastic baa little to fear from middle age. At this period a woman may have to work a little longer at her exer cises if the disposition to put on flesh is present, but ber task is nothing compared to the woman who has let "herself go" all her life. THE. YOUNG HOUSEKEEPER. To suggest physical culture to the housekeeper and mother may seem at first almost cruelty, the adding of another burden to an already too full day and to muscles already overtaxed. Yet this busy, hard worked housewife does need a certain amount and kind of physical culture to bring vigor and elasticity to her movements, and to exercise unused muscles so they may aid and help out those which at present aeem too much used. 8he should at least devote a few minutes each day to restful physical culture. If she can do no more. Bight and morning, let her go through tbe series of breathing exercises outlined in Lesson X. This will Invigorate the blood so that the bodily tissues are promptly renewed, and teach correct poise so that she gets profit and not weariness from her daily tasks. Housework is excellent physical culture, if it is prop erly done. Suppose the care of a house and small family de volves upon an intelligent woman who believes It her duty to keep herself as well and strong as possible. How would she go about this, regarding the home as ber gymnasium, and her broom and other household utensils as her apparatus? This Is the regime I out line for her. After a good night's sleep in a well-aired room, rise sufficiently early to do ten minutes' breathing exer cises, take a cold bath or salt rub and dress properly for housework. By this I do not mean a loose wrapper thrown over an uncorseted or badly corseted 'figure and run-over shoes. A woman who attacks her day's work clothed in such fashion hampers herself as much as If she were to tie one arm to her side. Think a minute of the" many discomforts and useless move- ments that come from such slack dressing and you will see that this statement Is not an exaggeration. PROPER COSTUME FOR HOUSEWORK. An inexpensive working costume, comfortable to wear and easy to put on, consists of a one-piece belted gown, fastening with a few buttons in front, made of some wash material like dark blue gingham or gray and white striped coutil. Have this finished with a loose, turnover collar and three-quarter length sleeves, and the skirt should be quite. three Inches from the ground. If a woman ever wears corsets she should most certainly wear them while doing housework; if she wears them properly, holding herself out of them instead of sinking into them, as so many women do, she is more comfortable with corsets on than without them. She should wear well-fitting shoes with heels of comfortable height and kept always in repair, for footwear U of first importance to a woman who must be on her feet all day. MAKE PHYSICAL CULTURE OF HOUSEWORK. A woman can turn her daily tasks to helpful physi cal culture if she goes about them with light, elastio step, keeping the head erect and weight poised on the ball of the foot. While washing dishes do not lean against the sink. If possible, have a sink so high that stooping Is not necessary; if this is not practical, place something under the dishpan to raise it to the proper level. Turning mattresses develops the shoulder and arm muscles, but do this properly, throwing rather than pushing and tugging. While doing all heavy work. use the shoulder and back muscles rather than lift 'from the waist. If you have cloths to shake, hold the arms high while doing it, to develop the shoulder mus cles and stretch the figure under the arms. Any exer cise or work that stretches the figure, lengthening it from the waistline, will correct stoutness and a ten dency towards a thick waist. Sweeping is a valuable exercise if correctly done. Do not dig the broom Into the carpet, but sweep the surface of it with light, swift movements, keeping the body poised always on the balls of the feet. STAND PROPERLY. A great deal of housework must be done on the feet Remember, that to rest heavily on them or drag them does not relieve but only increases fatigue. I have known women to do dance steps while dusting an excellent idea. While you are on your feet, stand properly; when it is possible to work sitting, do so. A high chair for the ironing board is a necessary part of the kitchen furniture and so is a comfortable, broad, low chair where with feet planted on the floor the housewife can prepare vegetables or do work of a like nature. Housework is hard work, but so long as it is within the measure of one's physical strength, it can be done with profit to the physical well-being. The woman who sits down at the dinner table so tired that "she cannot eat" has either been wasting her strength, or else her untrained muscles are not physically able to do the work asked of them. In either case, whether it is to gain strength or to use her strength more wisely, she needs some amount of physical culture. THE SEDENTARY LIFE. Women who lead a sedentary life, who are con fined in an office, shop or school-room during the entire day, undergo a test for endurance that calls forth a strain on the strongest constitution. Such a woman is in great need of systematic physical exer cise. If she can devote only ten or fifteen minutes twice a day to this, that is far better than ignoring it altogether, and I strongly advise such a worker to look carefully over the exercises I shall give in the next lesson, choose those particularly directed to her needs, and practice them. I advise her also to walk to and from her work. She cannot use her time to any better advantage and after a little perseverance she will find that the walk will refresh rather than tire her. To derive any benefit from walking, however, the step must be light and elastic, the weight of the body swinging easily from one leg to another. Hold the head erect, the chin well In as if a string were pull ing irom tne miaale or the bead, lifting it skywards. Take care to breathe deeply and correctly, through the nose with the mouth closed, taking in long breaths and retaining them some time before exhaling. Begin by holding each breath while taking ten steps and gradually increase this until twenty steps may be taken in one breath. Walking Is not a rapid reducing exercise, but there is nothing better calculated to keep a person In good condition and to promote general ease and health of the body. iORTIl SIDE IEVJS Work Under Way for Basement of New Fire Station.
