The mystery of the western operation is complicated by the news from Berlin which ignores General Von Kluck's efforts on the German right while indicating that the Ger man attack on Verdun is proceeding nuccessfully.

Harlow Hurley of Topekt won the championship honors in the finals at the invitation tournament of the To peka Golf club on the Country club links this afternoon by defeating Joe C. Wilson, also of Topeka, in 10 straight holes. Hurley and Wilson were left in the finals as a result of the elimination of Lovelace and Chamberh.in. both of Hutchinson, in the semi-finals of the morning play. In defeating Wilson, Hurley made his nine holes in 41, one over bogey, and his victory is all the more re markable from the fact that it is one of the few championship matches on record in which only 10 holes were required to settle the match. At the tenth hole. Wilson missed a short punt and Hurley made the hole In B. while Wilson required 6. The score was as follows: Hurley: 6-4-5-S-4-4-5-3-4-5. Wilson: 7-5-6-7-5-5-6-4-5-6. Topeka cinched the honors of the tournament when Hurley eliminated Lovelace and Joe Wilson put Cham berlain out of the running in the semi finals of the first flight this morning. Hurley defeated Lovelace 7 up and 6 to go, and Wilson made his victory with 5 up and 4 to play. Neither of the Hutchinson players was able to hold their own with the stronp Topek men. and both of them failed to win a single hole throughout their matches. The weather has been disagreeable todav and a fine mist fell, dampening the ardor of the players and spectators and taking much of the pleasure out of the sport. WIlMon-Chamberlaln. Wilson disposed of Mr. Chamberlain, the other Hutchinson contender, with ease, the latter not being in form and not playing up to his usual standard.

The 1914 issue of the Godhpor almanac, is sued last January, contains the fol lowing prediction which was made by an Indian seer: "In the month of July, 1914, all Kurope will be overwhelmed by a war between the great powers and terrible disasters will result.

TAKES PRESIDENT'S PLAGE Says European Struggle Marks the End of Militarism. Freedom Briners a Chanere in the Type of Courage. Baltimore. Sept. 12. Coming as the personal representative of Pres ident Wilson, who found himself un able to attend, Secretary Bryan spoke here today at the Star Spangled Ban ner celebration. The subject of the address was "The Flag," and Mr. Bryan naid he found his text in the line with which the poet closed each stanza of the National anthem "O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave." The development of American ideals, the secretary said, had brought with it a wider freedom and a new type of courage "a constant growth in the spirit of brotherhood." The constitution of the United States, he said, had become a pattern (Continued on Paje Two.) "GEE, IS IT?" Small Boy Is Surprised When President Is Pointed Out. Mr. Wilson Arrives at Cornish for Weekend Visit. Cornish, N. H., Sept. 12. President Wilson arrived her- this afternoon for a week-end visit to his family at the summer V.Thite House. The weather was clear and crisp and Mr. Wilson expected thoroughly to enjoy his out ing. At Greenfield, Mass., Brattleboro, Vermont and other places along the route, the president shook hands with crowds of men, women and children. Several hundred people met him when he alighted from the train at Windsor, Vermont, across the river from Cor nish. This is the president of the United States," said a woman to her small son at one stop, indicating Mr. Wilson. "Gee, is it?" marvelled the boy with whom the president smilingly shook hands. The president brought with him the telegrams from Emperor William of Germany, and President Poincare of France, regarding alleged use of dum dum bullets in the European war. He will frame his replies while here. WAR 111 MEXICO. Report Says lighting Continues at Waterworks Near Vera Cruz. Vera Crux, Sept. 12.

According to of ficial announcement martA h tha Third French army has captured all ine artillery or one German army corps. "Our aeroplanes report that the enemy's retreat is very rapid." Washington, Sept. 12. The follow ing dispatch from Bordeaux was re ceived today at the French embassy: "The French general staff made known today that the first German army continues its retirement. Three of its army corps were repulsed be tween Villers, Collerets and Soissons. We have in four days gained from 60 to 75 kilometres. "In the second army, the Tenth corns and the guards, driven back to -the feaint Gond swamps, are also withdraw ing. "In the Champagne, the Third Ger man army is also retreating. The Ger man center is thus at last giving ground. "After a hard fight in the region between Sezanne and Vitry in the Ar gonne, the fourth German army has been pished back to the north of the Trois Fontaines forests. "A fifth German, 'urmy after at tempting ii very serious effort on our right wing was thrown back. Our troops occpy Vassincourt. "The general situation has thus een modified to our advantage during these last days. "On the other side the Austrian army attacked near Tomaszow was forced to a disastrous retreat. The whole army has been pushed back to the west of Rawa Ruska and the Dniester river. The Russians besieged Grodek." BR-R-R, DOWN TO 58! Fires and Blankets Comfortable In Topeka This Morning. Fires were lighted in many To peka homes this morning to drive away the chill. Blankets were used last night. The weather is the raw est and coolest experienced in three months. There is a southeast wind that is bringing with It a penetrating chill. The forecast is anything but encouraging-. It calls for partially cloudy weather with the probability of show ers in the east portion of the state tonight. A further drop in tempera ture is scheduled for the north and west sections of the state Sunday. The minimum temperature at To peka was 58 two degrees below nor mal for this date.

KANSAS LOSES IN POPULATION Annual Report Shows Decrease of 13,831 In Year. Big Gain in Last Ten Tears Is Consolation. THRO OUT SHJCTE LISTS Assessors Made Returns That Were Absolutely Wrong. Inaccurate and Inefficient Re port Made Here. Kansas lost 13,831 in population this year, according to an official re port issued today by J. C. Mohler, sec retary of the state board of agricul ture. The state census as reported by Mohler for 1914 is 1,671,840, as com pared with a population of 1,685,671 in 1912 and 1,535,160 in 1904. Shaw nee county's returns were rejected bodily on account- of gross inaccur acies and inefficiency displayed in the gathering of census returns and the county's population is officially held at 70,091. the same as in 1913. In Bourbon and Morton counties the census was not taken this year and the returns from these counties are the same as a year ago. Atchison county has not reported a new set of popula tion figures since 1904 and the figures used from that county are taken from the federal report of ten years ago. The action of the state board of ag riculture in refusing to accept the Shawnee county returns will probably tend to promote care and greater effi- (Uonunued on Page Two.) IN FULLFLIGIIT. Gen. Auffenberg Unable to Re organize His Army. Austrian Losses in Two Days Total 125,000 Men. Petrograd, Sept 12. The war office announces that the efforts of General Von Auftenberg to reorganize his flee ing forces in Galicia have failed, and that the Austrians are still in full re treat. -The total losses of the Aus trians in 'he last two days are de clared to total 125, 0C0, of whom 80. 000 were taken prisoners. It is de clared that so many Austrians have been taken prisoners that the .prob lem of caring for them is a most seri ous one. It has been necessary to de tail additional troops to guard them until they can be sent to the interior concentration camps. The action at Tomassow entailed a desperate charge by the Russian forces on a strongly entrenched position. The Austrians, heavily reinforced by the Germans, fought desperately, but were badly cut up and forced to retreat in the utmost confusion. The Russians took m.iny prisoners here, including two generals. The Germans and Austrians who were driven from Tourbine and Opolein. Russian Poland, are still being harried by strong bodies of Russian Cossacks. MOTORS TO THE FIELD King Albert Goes to Battle in His Automobile. London, Sept. 12. The Antwerp correspondent of the Daily Telegraph sends the following: "A courier brings news of fighting at Hof stade near Malines. King Al bert motored out and participated -in the general engagement which is ap parently going well. "The German artillery figured con siderably but the Belgian infantry well supported by guns, gradually forced the Germans back." SATURDAY EVENING, BATTLE OF THE MAMIE T.1AY DECIDE THE FATE OF EUROPE WHAT THE BRITISH AUTHORI TIES MAY DO DURING WAR TIME. Take possession of any land, buildings, gas, electricity or water works, or sources of supply, horses, automobiles or any other means of transportation. Cause any buildings, statues, or any property to be Moved or de stroyed, and order the inhabitants to leave any given area necessary to use for military or naval pur poses. Close saloons entirely or during specified hours. Enter by force any house or ship which Is suspected of being used to the prejudice of the state. y.rrest any suspected person. The following are some of the things set out in the fact which a Briton may not do: Loiter near a railroad bridge. Give or sell liquor to a soldier or sailor on duty. Spread reports by word of mouth or writing, near a defended area, likely to create alarm among the troops or civilian population. Light fires or display lights of any description on hill tops or oth er high ground or buildings with out permission. Tamper with or loiter near any telegraph or telephone lines. The act provides that civilians ignoring a military demand to "halt" may be shot down without a second challenge. FIRED 48 GUNS Star Spangled Banner Salute in Topeka Today. Governor Hodges 'Made Short Patriotic Speech. Topeka officially observed Star Spangled Banner day when a salute of 48 guns was fired on the state house campus by the Battery A., in memory of the hundredth anniversary of the national air. To a crowd of perhaps 700 men and women. Governor Hodges delivered a 300 ward address. Then came the boomingAof cannon. The cer emonies lasted lesii than- 20 minutes. Music was furnished by the Second itegiment Dana, and members of Bat tery A., took short cut to the stAte house grounds, driving south QB JsrV- son street from the Armory to' the soutn win? or tne state capitol build ing. Four field pieces were planted near the entranc of the state house. Stepping- from his office to the state house 'steps, the governor delivered one of ..The shortest speeches of his of ficial career. As he concluded his re marks, the guns boomed their deaf ening salute and the 'small crowd that had gathered for the ceremonies wait ed patiently for the conclusion of the memorial exercises and stood with bared heads as the' band played the national air. Governor Hodges paid a brief trib ute to the stars and stripes and the watchful waiting policy of the nation. He said: "The citizens of our great nation pause a moment this morning in their activity for commercial advantage, to do honor to our national air, 'The Star Spangled Banner,' on this, its hun dredth anniversary. "The bright symphony of colors that floats at the top of that staff is to day the symbol of peace. It is the sug gestlon of that greatest of human hope (Continued on Page 2.) SDARY OF TODAY'S WAR KEWS 1.1 EUROPE Both Belgium and France are plan ning to reoocupy their capitals. The government in Pern has de clared a moratorium of 30 days. The battle of the Maine in progress today may decide the fate of Europe. The French army has captured all of the artillery of one German army corps. German motor military machines are crippled account of the shortage of gasoline. British troops have crossed the river Ourcq and are pursuing the German right wing. The Germans in France were re treating generally and offering only a feeble resistance. The British-French forces took a.ooo prisoners and SO guns 60 miles northeast of Paris. Fearing that the Austrian will sue for peace, Germany has sent heavy reinforcements to Galicia. The German right lias overrun Its supporting center and is In danger of being cut off and forced to surrender. The British fleet has occupied Her bertshoehe. the seat of government of the German archipelago and the Sol omon Islands. Pope Kenedict XV has charged for eign cardinals to urge their govern ments to cease hostilities and convoke a peace coaference. The United States win probably Join the protest of the powers against Tur key's abrogation of the capitulation concerning foreigners' territorial rights. In a speech In Baltimore today Sec retary of State Bryan stated that "The war era Is ended in the United States and Is drawing toward its close in for eign lands." The Austrian losses In the last two days total 125,000, of which 80,000 were taken prisoners. An attempt to leui'ganiie the fleeing forces has failed and the Austrians are still in full re treat. TWO CENTS Titanic Struggle Between Ger man and Allied Armies Still Continues Without Any Decisive Results. OTERS ME FOED UZl Both on Their Right Wing and Right Center. Effort to Smash Through (he French Line Has Failed. REPORTS 6EKERJU. RETREAT The Paris Official Statement Is Optimistic in Tone. French Advance Encounters but Feeble Resistance. London, Sept.12. News of a de cisive character from east of Vitry-Le-Francois, where the army of Saxony and parts of the armies commanded by the prince of Wurtemburg and v General Von Buelow are fiercely striving to break through the French right and center, still hangs fire and the anxiety of both forces grows keen er as it Is recognized that the result of the battle in this quarter la likely to have a decisive effect upon the whole line. Should the Germans smash through the center of the French line In thia district they would turn the line of ,i French frontier forts and seriously en-- danger the rear of General Castleraan'a sixth army corps, already engaged up to the hilt with a corresponding host of Germans before Nancy. It is fully realized here that the driving back of the German right wing and Tight center in no way is con clusive and that as the France-British forces rallied after the' long retreat, -so may the Germans turn and retrieve their present reverses. The public Is warned that the pres- t nt situation merely is the first phase H of a great battle and that the battle' itself is only the first stage of a titan- IC struggle between the natians which will continue as long as the main i armies' remain intact, as tlrey are at present. The latest unofficial reports front the plains of Cha.-ipagne tell of con siderably larger numbers of German guns and prisoners being captured than were mentioned in the last offi cial communication. Belgium official reports speak of the defeat of Germans by the troops mov ing southward from Antwerp, but while there is no reason to doubt that the in iders are evacuating parts of Belgian territory, it seer.is probable that they are purposely avoiding bat tle, as ..he main object of their south ward move is to get in the fighting zone of the Marne and to relieve pres sure there. French Official Statement. Paris. Sept. 12. An official com munication says: "On our left wing the Germans have begun a general retreating movement between the Oise and the Marne. "Yesterday their front was be tween Soissons, Braine nd Flames aid the mountain of Reims. "Their cavalry seems to be ex- hausted. The Anglo-French forces which pursued them, encountered on Sept. 11 only feeble resistance. "At the center on our right wing, the Germans have evacuated Vltry Le Francois, where they had fortified themselves, a: d also they have evac uated the valley of the Saulx river. Attacked at Seermaize and at Re vigny, they abandoned a large quan tity of war material. "The German forces which hare been occupying the Arronne region have begun to give way. ""hey are re treating to the north through the for est of Bellenone. "In Lorraine we have made slight progress. We occupy the eastern boundary of the forest of Chmr penoux. Rehain villers and Gerbenvll lers. The Germans have evacuated Saint Die. In Belgium, the Belgian army is acting vigorously against the German troops, who are before the fortified position of Antwerp. "In the Servian field of operations the Servians have occupied Femlln. Austria." FIGHT ON BIKES Fifty British Cyclists Wipe Out 150 German Horsemen. The Allies Take 8,000 Prisoners and 15 Guns. London, Sept. 12. A dispatch to the Daily News from Paris 'says: "A motor car brings news from the front that the first and second divi sions of the British army, "with the French cavalry and artillery, cut oft and defeated a large force of the enemy sixty miles northeast of Paris, taking 6.000 prisoners and 15 guns. The Germans are reported as demor alized. "The half starved prisoners raven ously devoured beef and biscuits sup plied by the British troops. "During the fight fifty British cyclists from the cover of a small wood wiped out ISO of the enemy's cavalry. The allies' losses were se vere, but they are as nothing in com parison to those of the enemy who la now retreating north of the Mara and west of the Ourca."

STATE POLITICS IS DEAD ISSUE in i i Wat Has Bobbed Candidates of All Their Glory. Jfo Snap in Kansas Campaign This Year. ALL MEREST IM EUROPE And the Election Is Only Seven Weeks Away. Few Speeches Lined Out by State Committees. Unless 3ome new 'Issue is raised, unless some new force and snap are engendered' into the campaign, the light before the state wide election promises to be one of the most listless and colorless campaigns Kansas has seen In a number of years. The elec tion is but a little, more than seven weeks away. None of the political or ganizations have as yet got under full team and the' lack of interest in the contests is causing party leaders grave concern. Not in years has the contest for control of the state been so admittedly close. Yet the campaign has gone nearly half way to the finish and not a move has been made by any party that has- 'occasioned state wide inter est or brought to the surface an indi cation of snap and spirit. For nearly two weeks state headquarters have been open in Topeka. Still the work of organising the state has hardly begun. To be sure a number of speakers have made speeches and preached about the virtues of their own party and the sins and iniquities of the enemy. But the dear voter has shown a wanton lack of interest. Not a campaign orator, not A party leader, not a state wide publication -has. of fered a hint or suggestion, that could be rolled into an issue in the nght. Not a word has been spoken that was not said weeks before the candidates were nominated. War Is the Cause. Interest in the European war has made politics a dull and uninteresting game from the viewpoint of the voter. The bumper crops have distracted the attention of the Kansas farmer so far as any alarm about impending or im mediate suffering was concerned. War time prices have knocked tariff argu ments galley west. It is no longer possible to raise an issue concerning the "watchfuK waiting" policy. The tax argument was started away back under the 1913 calendar and was growing sideburns and whiskers- long before the present campaign opened. There is such slight difference between the provisions in. the party platforms that none of them afford a live,' hot from- the -frying pan issue. Only the issue as to the personalities of the several candidates remains. And such an issue is attracting such little in terest among the voters that the head quarters of the state organizations are as quiet and deserted as the office of a correspondence school undertaker. Hodges, Capper, Allen and Billard are active in the campaign. All ex cept Billard are making speeches. They are received by fair sized crowds. Yet not one has said a word that has attracted more than passing attention. Not one seems to have been able to put new life in the campaign. Billard la Visiting. In his own way Billard is making a trip through the state. He is visiting the "wet" towns. But nothing has happened that has made a political observer take serious thought of the Billard movement and the effort to inflate the Billard balloon with hope Has failed, so far as the judgment of political prognosticators is concerned. Congressman Victor Murdock is the only member of the Kansas delegation who is now in the state. Murdock is making a strong plea to the progres sively inclined voters of the state to seek refuge in the new party. But in the more than two weeks succeeding the party councils, neither Murdock nor Allen had been able to stir the voters to a point that has made the politicians set their alarm clocks in preparation for a busy tomorrow. It's Up to Roosevelt. Roosevelt is coming to Kansas. He will spend two days maybe three campaigning for the Progressives in this state. Seemingly it is up to Roosevelt to rekindle the political fires and put Kansas on edge for the final weeks of the contest. Apparently the Democrats have failed in their efforts to bring Presi dent Wilson to the state this fall. So they must content themselves with imported congressmen and senators who are no better campaigners than the native born and speak the Kansas language far less fluently. At Republican headquarters, much is nopea but little is assured. The committee nas within the week opened headquarters at 112 w: Eighth street and it may be another A -:ek before the organization is under lun steam. Waiting for Murphy. n-awin Murphy, chairman of the Democratic committee, may return Sunday from a week in Washington. tie win Dring tidings from the nation al administration. A few form letters have been written in his absence. But Murphy has sent word that he will organize his strategy board and open war as soon as ne is nacn in Kansas. Wltn a full working force, the Pro gressives have been firing circular let ters at the voters for ten days. Their rapid tire machines a battery of mimeographs and typewriters are in trenched in the Shawnee building at sevent n ana jaenson street with U. s, Sartin in charge of the guns. But, with it all, it is a slow, dull campaign. The politicians and politi cal writers have complained bitterly. The elections will be held in a little more man seven weeps, ur course a lot of things may happen in a Kansas campaign in seven weeks. A great many things may happen. Yet with three big state wide parties Republi cans. Democrats and Progressives battling for supremacy and Billard's independent gubernatorial aspirations adding to the -certainty of things, the result -of the election is a matter of grave doubt and uncertainty. It is for that reason that the politicians clamor for new war maneuvers and pray for decisive battles that will give ome line as to the strength of the warring forces and add interest to the campaign. DUfiLIIIGALX III LIKE. Democrats Organize Young People's Club in Politics. Burlingame, Kan., Sept. 12. One of the strongest political organizations in Osage county was perfected Friday night when more than 100 Burlin game men and women organized a young people's Democratic club. The purpose of the club is to work for the election of Neeley, Hodges and Doolittle. Floyd Braddon is president of the organization, with Jesse Underwood, vice president, and Doris Foshay, treasurer. Similar clubs will be or ganized in other towns in the county. THREE STRUGGLES III PROGRESS TODAY (Continued From Page One- are equally firm in the opinion that the German veterans from the field of Belgium and France have been sent to East Prussia, where their presence is believed to account for the Russian check. Capture of Tomaszow. The most substantial rain by Rus sian forces within the past 42 hours has been the capture of Tomaszow, which probably clears the way for the advance of the Russian center on the Austro-German forces on the Vistula river. Both Belgium and France, it ap pears in London today, are optimistic enough to begin to consider reoccupy ing their capitals. Brussels is still In the hands of the Germans, but there are many signs that the forces of Em peror William are moving out of that section of the country. Ghent is reported to havo been re occupied by Belgian troops following the departure of the Germans without waiting for supplies promised by that city. The story of a mysterious boom ing of guns in the North sea has been revived. It is, howeven, given no cre dence in so much as a recent sweeping of the North sea by a British fleet did not disclose the presence of any Ger man warships. Berlin Has Little to Say. Berlin, Sept. 12. No details of the battles eastward of Paris and around Verdun have been received either from the general staff or the corre spondents attached to headquarters. A telegram has been made public which was sent by Emperor William to the King of Saxony, congratulating him on the achievements of his army on Sept. 9 after hot fighting. The tel egram throws little light on the fight ing near Paris. The army referred to is that under the Saxon General Van Hausen, which is in an intermediate position between the armies of General Von Buelow on the right and the Duke of Albrecht of Wurtemburg on the left. Its line of march led southward over Rethel so it presumably occupied a position on the left wing or the left center of the German forces engaged near Paris, the right wing of which effected a re tirement before superior flanking forces. ine captured guns and prisoners mentioned in headquarters reports are presumably the fruit of the success mentioned in the emperor's congratu latory message. The German counter stroke to the Anglo-French offensive near Paris was delivered by the army of Crown Prince Frederick -William, which captured a lortiriea i-Tencn position southwest of Verdun. This position interposed a oarrier Between the German Marne army, the left wing which extended to Vitery Le Francois and the crown prince s forces. Encircling Verdun.

Kaiser's Soldiers Couldn't Climb Over Pyramids of Dead. Parts. Sept. 11. Private J. Calvert of the East Lincolnshire regiment, who missed his regiment during the retreat from Mons, arrived here Thursday, bringing the diary of a comrade who had fallen. It describes the fighting during the last week of August and the first week of September. Here are some extracts: "The Germans came on in huge masses. Two thousand of us rained. bullets at them and as we had been taught to aim and not merely to shoot from the hip, they went down like ears of wheat before the' reaper. They still came on like sheep to slaughter. We kept this up till dusk. "When we slackened fire, because our rifle barrels were so hot. they thought we were fainthearted, for they formed up to charge. We redoubled a hail of bullets from our trenches until the Ger man dead were so piled up that those behind could not climb over them and they Just had to fall back. After dark we heard trumpets assembling them. The Germans lighted lanterns and all we had to do was to fire at the lights. "By midnight it was estimated that 17.000 British were holding the Ger mans back. As this was an impossible feat in daylight we retreated to a wood four miles away and slept until dawn. I am not over-sentimental and I do not quail before either bullets or bayonets, but I shall never forget the sight we saw in that wood. Hundreds of women and children were fleeing from sur rounding village in the early morning. We protected them as best we could but many were shot." A diary kept by another soldier told of engagements in which some men were Overwhelmed by Heavy artillery fire and adds: "The fifth engagement we were In was after we haa been several days slowly retreating toward Paris. Our worst moments were when our line of retirement lay through villages. I thought every moment I should be blown to pieces. I cannot understand why I was not. Houses were smashed and companions fell. I saw dead and wounded on every side. How I escaped God only knows." Here the diary abruptly ends. iraRrvAis. (Continued From Page One.) copied by other nations and now was to be seen everywhere the waning of monarchical authority and hereditary power. Americans never had hesitated, Mr. Bryan said, to die, if necessary, in defense of the authority for which the flag stood. "But the war era has ended in the United States," he added, "and is drawing towards its close in foreign lands; the convulsions through which Europe is now passing are but the death throes of militarism." Mr. Bryan's Address. Mr Bryan said in part: "The world has longed for freedom throughout the ages the world made up not of the privileged few, but of the countless multitude. Some of the people have at all times had freedom often more than they have wisely used. A few in every age have not only had undisputed con trol of themselves and of their re sources but have profited by the lim itations which they have imposed upon those who were unable to successfully resist them. Having a monopoly of political rights they added to it a mo nopoly of physical happiness aud intel lectual progress. They even fettered the conscience of man and prescribed the forms through which he might sat isfy the universal longing for com munion with the Infinite. This free dom resting not on respect for human rights but upon power of might, de graded those who exercised it while It wronged those to whom it was denied." "And bravery was not lacking then the bravery of the conqueror who risked his life to secure the authority that he coveted. But the freedom of the despot and the bravery of the tyrant are not the virtues of which Key sang. It required a higher form of both freedom and bravery to thrill the heart of the poet and to suggest to him the word pictures that hey wove into his lines. The masses have grad ually won their way to a freer air and to a larger liberty but every inch of ground has been contested. Our con stitution has become the pattern nonied bv other nations and the suc cess of our experiment in self govern ment has answered all the arguments formerly advanced in behalf of arbi trary power. Triumphant Democracy. The triumDhant democracy of the new world has stimulated the friends of liberty in the old to new advances. until we see everywnere increasing limitations. Dlaced upon monarchical authority everywhere the waning of hereditary power. "Accompanying tne aeveiopment. 01 freedom has come a change in the type of- cnurase which man has manifested. There has been a constant growth in the spirit of brotherhood an Incrcas- Ine tendency among men to unite meir efforts in defense of common rights and the advancement of the common e-ood. It is in this period that our peo- Die have lived, since our nation born in the revolutionary struggle, en tered unon its superb career, During these years the flag has been 'gallant ly streaming sometimes in tne roca et's rid glare,' and son has imitated sire in willingness to maintain, with his life it necessary, the authority for which it stands. Wars Have Ended. "But the war era has ended in the United States and is drawing toward its close In foreign lands; the convul sions through which Europe is now passing are but the death throes of militarism. We are entering upon a new age in which freedom will be given new interpretations and bravely find new forms of expression. The doctrine of the divine right of kings has beefi discarded to no purpose if the divine right of man does not lead to man's elevation. He has become his own master, not that he may be brut ish or brutal, but that he may be free to develop the best that is in him and to aspire to all the heights that the Heavenly Father has put within his reach. And no matter how high he rises, or upon how lofty a plane he plans his life, the flag will still wave above him. "The theoretical anarchist deludes himself with the belief that man will have no need of government when he becomes 'a law unto himself,' but he comprehends but a part of the prob lem. The coercive part of government will diminish as civilisation advances even now a large proportion of the people have no need of the thou shalt nota' of the criminal law. But while the restraints of the statutes may be expected to fall into disuse because un- necessary the co-operative part of gov ernment is ever increasing. "The people find it economical to do together, through the instrumen tality of organized government, what they could not do so cheaply, if at all. by individual effort. This union of effort is impossible without mutual confidence and confidence is impossi ble without breadth of sympathy. The freedom of the future, therefore, will bring the substantial satisfaction that comes from voluntary acts of helpfulness the joy that is to be found in the willing bearing of the joint burdens. "Let no one think that texture of our manhood will be of a lower qual ity when its strength is no longer test ed by the stress of war. We could not worship God as we do if we were convinced that each generation must be exercised in blood-letting in order to prevent stagnation. There is as much inspiration in a noble as in a heroic death. With peaceful progress the avenues of usefulness are being multiplied. Instead of seeking to ex tend our ivrritory by the sword, we are enlarging it by intelligent culti vation of the soil; Instead of measur ing our merit by the numbers we can overcome, we estimate greatness by the service rendered. "It now is three thousand years since Solomon declared that 'he that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruloth his spirit, than he that taketh a city,' and yet the world is just now coming to un derstand this truth. In the day that is dawning, the bravery of self re straint will take the place of that bra3ry which tramples upon the rights of others. Man will dare to forgive and leave vengeance to the Lord." Kansas Loses in population (Continued from page 1.) clency in collecting population figures in tl.e future. The Shawnee county report this year was so grossly inac curate as to appear silly to even a casual observer. While the building permits of Topeka have shown the erection of a new home a day for several years, the men in charge of the assessment work reported a fall ing off of more than 8.000 In the county's population in 12 months. In view of these conditions. Secretary Mohler's attitude in refusing to accept the Shawnee report will probably meet with general commendation In the county and state and in the opin ion of men interested in collection of cenLs returns, will result in greater efficiency in the work in the future.

The second day's play in the invitation tournament of the Topeka cub was brought to close on schedule time, and Bobby Peebles began making up matches for semi-finals which began this morning. As a result of Friday's play, the con tenders for the championship honors were whittled down to two Hutchinson and two Topeka players, and early this morning tne centers of attraction were the matches between Sidney Lovelace of Hutchinson and Harlow Hurley of Topeka. and Grant Chamberlain 01 Hutchinson and Joe Wilson of Tope ka, the four survivors of Friday's first night elimination matches. To one of these four men will go the honor of winning the championship of the tournament when the final match is reached some time late this after noon. Before play began this morning. Chamberlain and Hurley were the fav orites in these matches, but the fortunes of golf and war are similar in some re spects and. surprises are about as fre quent In one as in the other. Mr. Chamberlain was not feeling his best when he played the second round Friday afternoon, owing to an lnadvertant mixture of cucumbers and ice cream at lunch, but his many friends and backers believe he can carry off first honor In spite of the conspiracy of these Topeka luxuries. -The most interesting match of Fri day's play was the first flight second round in the afternoon between Hur ley and Lorton. Lorton in the play at the third hole all but got the better of the Topeka player when both stymied and irton in attempting a jump knocked Money in tne hle. Again In this match Hurley drove into the bunkers, but pulled himself out of the difficulty in true professional style and won the match 6 up and 5 to play. Semi-Finals.

Buying was only of a scat tering character. The start, which ranged from the same as last night to c higher, was crowded by a slight setback and then by a material upturn. Reports of Austrian defeats led to some renewal of peace gossip and tended to weaken prices in the last part of the session. The close was heavy at 2c to 2ic under last night.

To peka won both ends of the double header Friday afternoon. The score of the first game was 4 to 2 and the last 7 to 0. Slattery, a recruit, was the third southpaw and Jack Ridgeway op posed him. Frank Isbell, owner of the Des Moines club, after having good luck with Thomas, his second left hander, who pitched Thursday's game, did not have enough nerve to confront the Topeka fans with another, so ducked for home and left Red Andreas to face the on slaught. Andreas was game to the core and his club lost the contest. Jack Ridgeway was on the mound for the Cooleyites in the first game. He lhad Just returned from his home in Philadelphia, where he was called a month ago, but one might have thought he was primed for this event. Ridge iway went after the Boosters with a vengeance and did not allow a safe hit until in the seventh inning. Hahn led off in this round with a two base clout but the rest of his teammates went out in order. With one out In the eighth. Kwoldt singled but the Cooley ites stopped the fun by pulling over a double play. Tope' a took the first game of a double header from Des Moines this afternoon by a 4 to 2 score. Ridgeway held the visitors down to the seventh to no hits and allowed three walks during the whole game. He gave five hits, one in the seventh, one in the eighth, and gave three in the ninth. Topeka took a one run lead in the game today in the first inning when Forsythe beat out an infield fly hit and scored on a double to center by Koerner. In the fifth stanza Rapps lifted the kail over the fence for a home run. Topeka annexed two more runs in the sixth. Singles were made by Forsythe, Koerner and Tallion.

Hunter out at second. Koerner to Lattimore, 2 runs. AYcldaman Wins Second Game. Andreas had no more southpaw pitch ers so he started Hogan against the Topekans in the second game. Hogan was effective when he could locate the rubber but was mighty wild and was frequently forced to groove the ball then somebody killed it. Cooley select ed his youngster, Weidaman, to go in against the Boosters and made a good pick. It was the first game he had pitched on the home grounds but he worked with lots of confidence, had very good control and steam. Weidaman did not allow a man to reach first base until in the fourth in ning and then Tex Jones got on by grace of a single to right field. That was all for him. With one out in the fifth, Andreas doubled and the next two went out in order. In the sixth, with one .ut, Breen was called safe at first on a close decision which was doubtful. Hahn hit a grounder to Tallion but he booted the ball and both runners were safe. Jones forced Hahn at second and Breen went to third. He was the only man that reached that station for his club dur ing the contest.

It occurs' to an innocent bystander that the baseball management should raise the prices. It is apparent that the so-called fans of Topeka do not ap preciate a dollar's worth of baseball for four bits. It is too much like a free concert to be attractive. War prices prevail in everything but baseball, and it 13 hard to sell that at any price. Friday was an unlucky day for Des Moines, and but few paid admissions were present to witness the trimming they received at the hands of the Cooley trimmers. A team of runaway mules hitched to a mowing machine might have rampsed through the stand without injuring a single inhabitant of our fair village.

The visitors could offer nothing; the homers couldn't make change for.. The Weideman youth pushed them over, and the field copped fc.erything that started back. At times the visitors clouded up, but couldn't rJn a drop. The home gang picked a couple of runs in the early part of the session, and closed the in cident In the eighth by a general rally in which five participants passed, the pan. Mr. Hogan blew and his fellow Hibernian, Duffy, took his place. Whereas the Cooleyites had plunked Hogan for but two, the big finale was "on" Duffy. Then the ump person called the game "on account of dark ness," and the visitors were so glad to crawl out from under the fallen timber that they hardly raised a hol ler. Score, seven to none whatever. f- A favorite field of endeavor with the local porch climbers was the dou ble play. They worked it from its dif ferent angles about half a dozen times during the afternoon. They also played 17 innings with one error. The one was on Tallion, and wasn't much of an error at that. The official scor er was tempted to wipe it off the slate and make it an errorless afternoon. The visitors didn't make anything that could b- remotely connected with the error column. And two dinkey little electric trains hauled the entire at tendance to and from the performance without crowding. UEEKLMERAGES Kane of Sioux City Beats Koerner for Second Place.

Slattery is another of those south-side heavers. Des Moines has more port siders than anything else. There is rumor, or was, that the Topeka bunch cannot hit a southpaw, but late re ports from the front bring official de nials from the commanding officers, They did paste Mr. Slats for four runs and eight hits, while Ridgeway permit ted but two runs and five hits, all of which were donated during the latter portion of the disturbance. It started fair and warmer, when Koerner scored Forsythe from first. It was one of Mr. Koerner's regular swats, and almost spoiled the fence. In the fifth, Tallion and Koerner executed a double play that broke up a cloudy sit uation, and then when the homers came to bat. Honest Willie Rapps cracked one over the Mills sign, and the small boys are still hunting for it. In the next inning another double play by the home guard spoiled things for the Red Andreas bunch, and then the game was cinched with a pair of runs. It was 4 to 0 when the ninth period arrived, and Ridgeway loosened the tension springs enough to permit .a pair of glides by the visitors. Score, 4-2. In this first game, Des Moines refrained from hitting a safe one until the sev enth period. In the second game, Mr. Weideman, the polar bear captured by Mr. Cooley during his last arctic expedition, hove for the home guard, and, judging by his initial performance on the local lot, he is some heavist. He was matched at the start agi.l-.st one Ho gan, a right sider, the Dee Ems hav ing run out of south paws. Noisy Bill was sent to left field, or Kid Whe lan had crimped his favorite stifle joint.

Pocket Billiard Tournament Is Getting Interesting. Mark Roach, who is dividing the fa vorite honors with Joe Handy in the local pocket billiard tournament, de feated John Headerman in the fifteenth block Friday evening by the score of 100 to 30. Headerman, who has been ill most of the summer, has not played in his usual form at any time since the tournament began, and his low score Friday evening was the result of his run-down nervous condition. The turnament will,- in all probabil ity, last throughout all next week. Roach and Handy have made the best records so far and are picked for the final match, but Peters and Header man are also backed by their friends to get into the finals. In Friday night s match Roach made a high run of 27 and Headerman 9. Handy and Peters will play the sixteenth block Monday evening at 7:30. POSTPONED GAME DATES.

(By Morris Miller.) If Muggsy McGraw had Shafer on third at the present time he would wor ry a little less about the Boston Braves. At about this time last year Shafer was hitting a good .300 clip for the Giants and fielding, of course, in his usual brilliant manner. Stock, who has re placed him this year, is a good average player but by no means in the same class with Shafer. Shafer was a star because he used his own head while playing and frequently had an idea of his own as to how a thing should be done. That is why he is no longer with the Giants. He quit because he didn't care to be told how to manage every play. He was well enough fixed finan cially to retire. It may have been noticed that with the exception of Matty there isn't a player on the Giant roster who employs headwork. They are all exceptionally clever mechanical play ers, and McGraw direct3 their work for them. He prefers to do all the think ing that is to be done. Shafer didn't care to abide this and so he left. Per haps Muggsy feels just now that if he could have Shafer back he would let him do his own thinking. Many declare that with only three winning pitchers Tyler, Rudolph and James Stallings. the Boston chief, will l I Mi J f I K N v 2 S V a 4t'V V v -Xo if 1 Ton to bottom: President Johnson of the American League, President Gilmore of the Feds, and President Tener of the National League. Agents of the Federal league and representatives of organized base be 11 have discussed the matter informally. Peace overtures have not been made definitely, because each side is waiting for the other to make the first move. Although National league magnates and Fed league leaders now protest that there will be no merger, it is known that all concerned, as well as the fans, are heartily sick of the pres ent war. So according to the proposed scheme, the Federal league will be ab sorbed by organized baseball. Federal league clubs are to be permitted to invest in National, American, Inter national league and American associa tion clubs or their interests in Federal league clubs are to be purchased out right. "Whitewings" Tebeau and Wild Bill Donovan are two of organized base ball's agents who have been quietly investigating lor organized baseball. Their reports have convinced the men behind that it will not be difficult to come to terms with the Federal league people. A month ago the men behind organ ized ball said players who had jumped to the Feds would be kept out of or ganized ball forever. They have changed their minds and, when the peace papers are signed, clubs which. have his troubles yet.

Many seem to think that if a pitcher wins one game he should have several weeks rest that he may raliy his strength and fully recov er. This is largely because pitchers have come to Lave an av.ful pipe and by most clubs they are pampered en tirely too much. Any pitcher with a reasonable measure of health who can't contrive to pitch every three days with out taking to his bed should be sent back to whence he came. Boston, with Tyler, Rudolph and James willing to step in whenever asked, rhould have lit tle tr able. The three of them would handle things with no trouble, and if it comes to a world's series, it's a safe bet that the three will be able negotiate it withcut breaking down under the strain. In a recent game against the .dnts. Slim Sallee, pitching for the Cards, al lowed them but one clean hit. The oth er three had been scratch ones of a very cheap order, due to slow fielding and to on. The one clean hit, though, was a three-bagger in the ninth inning with the bases full, and the Giants declared that the one alone was quite enough. It won the game. Von Kolnitx. a recruit with :!ie Cin cinnati Reds, has made a real hit with Charley Herzog, and it isn't unlikely that he will get Niehoffa job at third. Herzog seems determined, come what may. to maintain the German identity of his Inf old. And Von Kolnits seems even a little more Gennanish than Nie hoff. It may be remembered by some that when the Braves, after a long slump, first began to climb, the Giants ex pressed themselves as pleased at the sight of it and declared that they hoped Stallings' bunch would continue to en joy a prosperous season. There has been a feeling among the Giants of late, however, that they were a little lavish in their encouragement. ers will be permitted to do so. NATIONAL LEAGCssV Friday Results.

A Luxury in Convenience But Not in Cost All who would use electric light, more electric light, better electric light, or cheaper electric light, can do so now. Electric light has become "the greatest convenience of the age" because it can be used everywhere by every body. Mazda Lamps Double the amount of light otherwise obtainable for a dollar's worth of current It is as unwise to move into an unwired house now as it is to live longer in a house that lacks this inexpensive luxury. Now is the time to have houses, stores, offices and fac tories wired for electric lighting in order to be in a po sition to enjoy MAZDA Lamps, electric fans, flatirons, toasters, motors, and a hundred other necessities for your comfort and convenience.

Rouen Correspondent So Describes British Retirement to Compiegne. London, Sept. 12. The Rouen cor respondent of the Daily Mail sends a picturesque story of a great cavalry charge at Thuin, a town in -Belgium near Charleroi. and the subsequent retreat to Compiegne. The story fol lows: 'On Monday morning. Aug. 24, aft er chafing at the long delay, the Brit ish Cavalry Brigade let loose at tne enemy's guns. The Ninth Lancers went into action singing and shouting like school boys. For a time all seemed well, few saddles were emp tied, and the leaders had charged al most within reach of the enemy's guns when suddenly the Germans opened a murderous fire from at least twenty concealed machine guns at a range of 150 yards. Officers Killed. "The result was shattering-, and the Lancers caught the full force of the storm. Vicomte Vauvineux, a French cavalry officer who rode with the bri gade as interpreter, was killed. Cap tain Letourey, who was the French master of a school in Devon, was rid ine bv the side of Vauvineux, and had a narrow escape, as his horse was shot from under him. Other Officers also "Wh.;- the bulk of the brigade swerved to the right the others held on and rode full tilt into wire entan glements buried in the grass 30 yards in front of the machine guns and wen made Drisoners. Three regi ments of the best cavalry in the Brit ish army went into the charge and suffered severely. The Kighteentn Hussars and the Fourth Dragoons also suffered but not to the same extent as the others. GrenfeO a Hero. "A happy feature of the charge was the gallant conduct of Captain Gren fell, who. though twice wounded, called for vnluntMi-H and saved the Kuna. It is said that he has been recommenoea for the Victoria cross. "After this terrible ordeal the Brit ish brieada was harassed for fourteen ria v. of retreat the enemy giving them rest neither day nor night. At 2 o'clock each morning they were roused by ar tillery fire and every day they fought a retiring action pursued relentlessly by the guns. It was a wonaenui reireai. Daily the cavalry begged to bo allowed to go for the enemy in force to recover lost ground but only once rere they permitted to taste that Joy. at the vil lage of Lassigny. which they- paused and repassed three times. "The Germans-made repeated efforts which were always foUed, to capture the retreating transports. It had, how ever, many narrow escapes. At one point it escaped by a furious gallop which enabled the wagons to cross a bridge less than an hour ahead of the enemy. The engineers had mined the bridge and were waiting to blow it up. They sent a hurry-up call to the trans port and the latter answered with alac rity. The bridge was blown up Just in time to separate the two forces. "At Campiegne, the brigade for the first time saw and welcomed their French brothers in arms." A St' I Ions Ailment. "Tour husband, madam, is suffering from voluntary inertia.4' "Poor fellow!

Modern Methods Are Now Re placing Antiquated Style. KEED OF A MARKET EXPERT O. F. Whitney Says County Should Have Market Man. H. W. Doyle Tells of Climate of Shawnee Connty. There are great possibilities in fruit growing in Shawnee county. The soil meets the requirements, and the cli matic conditions are favorable. Antiquated methods of caring for orchards in many instances a lack of any care at all and uncertain mar keting facilities, have retarded an in dustry that could bring great wealth to the growers in the county.- There are many old orchards in Shawnee county that are now breed ing places for pests, and produce little or no fruit. It is the man who has adopted scientific methods of spray ing and cultivation who can boast of a good crop of luscious fruit this year and there is nothing like the Kansas apple for flavor. Strictly commercial orchards are now becoming more numerous in Kan sas, and the spirit of progressiveness that is spreading rapidly, is being felt in Shawnee county. A number of gasoline sprays are owned by apple growers in the vicinty of Topeka who have adopted up-to-date methods. Waste of Fruit.

We want you to in spect this sanitary baking plant and be sure to sample the bread before you leave Topeka. G. L. Gordon and peaches are allowed to rot in orchards. O. F. Whitney, an expert gardener of North Topeka and prominent grange man, said: "The greatest need of the farmers of Shawnee county is not a farm adviser, but a market ex pert, whose business it would be to study the market and advise the farm ers as to when and how to sell. We have the soil and climate here to grow the crops, but the greatest, problem is the marketing of the produce." Topeka is a great distributing cen ter for fruit but many growers do not know how to dispose of their produce to advantage. One of the leading commission men of the city estimated that ten thousand barrels of apples are handled here annually. Thousands of barrels of apples are shipped into this city from Colorado, Idaho and other apple producing sections of the country each year. Topeka is on? of the important ap ple storage centers of the country, having an annual capacity for 130,000 bushels. Within a radius of 75 miles of Topeka there are a million fruit eating souls. The market is at our door. Climate of County. In speaking of Shawnee county from a horticultural standpoint, H. W. Doyle of the state board of agriculture and correspondent for the Country Gentle man, said: "Shawnee county is' admirably adapted to the growing of horticultural products. We have both the soil and the climate. Thirty-four Inches of water falls here annually. During the long growing season, from April to September, inclusive, the records of the local weather bureau show an average mean precipitation of more than 25 inches. In other words, under normal condition nearly three-fourths of our annual rainfall comes during the period when fruits and vegetables are developing. "Imagine a sheet of water more than two feet in depth covering the entire area' of this county. Usually the rainfall is distributed. In proper amounts" throughout the season, but we know well of years in which the alternating periods of humidity and drouth have been uncomfortably pro tracted, as for instance 1903 and 1913. Still the total annual rainfall varies little'from year to year." F. L. S.

Local automobile wen have been list ening with glee to the report of the vengeance wreacked Dy a Topeka man upon a take auto agency in Detroit from which, only by quick and spirited assault, the Topekan was enabled to re cover a considerable sum of money which he hud paid for the rights to four Kansas counties in which he was to act as the agent for the aale of a new ma chine. According to his story the fake agency is now under federal investigation on complaint made by other victims. Like them he hod answered alluring adver tisements and. after correspondence, had paid for territory In which to do busi ness. The local man paid $800 for four counties. He prepared to throw himself into the business in the hope of a rich harvest of commissions through sales to rich farmers. But communications from headquarters became unsatisfac tory and irregular. He worried a few weeks and then took a train for Detroit. At the busy automobile center ha hunted up the address of the alleged factory. In it he found three men and six female stenographers, the latter all busy transcribing correspondence to "agents." There was no outward evi dence of connection with the auto busi ness not even in the pictures on the wall. The Kansas man made inquiries without obtaining comforting informa tion. Then he announced that he was ready to surrender his agency and would like his money back. Nothing doing. He was disappointed and said so but after a firm assurance that no money to agents ever came back by that route he. assumed, a crest-fallen air and wlt"arew. Outside he sought a sporting goods house and Invested 75 cents. In a pair of knucks, the vicious brass affairs that increase the effectiveness of a hu man fist about seven thousand per cent. Then he went back. -"I'D Take It Now." The three men were still on the job. So were the ladies. He had previous ly ascertained the man who handled the cash book and addressed himself to him, with the announcement: "I've come after my. $800 and I'll take it now. olease." His right hand was in his pocket, but the knucks were already in position. "Didn't I tell you there was noth ing doing" inquired the Detroiter. "If you won't live up to your contract, you forfeit. See?" But the Kansan didn't see. He was so mad he couldn't. The fist came out of the coat Docket, and landed under the-other mn's Jaw and he crumpled. One of the others started up and then sat' down heavily with a badly disfigured face. The third started to get up, but Bat down quickly without declaring in on the melee. Then the Kansas man resumed the interrupted conversation. "I have come after my money or eight hundred dollars' worth of satisfaction. I haven't got either yet, but I'm going to have one or the other right now. I'd rather have the cash." "Better give it to him," suggested the man from whom no satisfaction had thus far been collected, and the plan was un animously adopted without debate. The $800 in real money was counted out and pooketed by the Topeka person who back ed gently through the door of the inner office, out through the bevy of busy stenographers to the outer hall, where he slipped the knucks into a hip-pocket and went his way rejoicing.

Republican opposition to the river and harbor bills, coupled with the fall in customs revenue, because of the European war, today induced Democratic lead ers to strike out $18,600,000 of the $52,000,000 originally proposed. It is not yet satisfactory, however, to the Renublicans. All reductions were made proportionately. The Mississippi river apDroDriation was cut from eight millions to six. A ?4uu,uoo dredging project for Boston harbor, the purchase of the Chesa peake Ohio canal; a $2,600,000 au thorization -for improving the Colum bia river, and $10,000,000 for the Ohio river were eliminated.

Forty German prisoners, all wounded by bayonets, have arrived here and give a hint of how the Germans suffered in their re treat across the rivers Ourcq and Marne. It appears that the German force sent to that region to face the Paris rrmy, protecting the flank of the allies, was an important one and had been strongly entrenched. When General Joffre, the French commander in chief, ordered an at tack, a fierce engagement of artillery opened and lasted two days without interruption. Aviator Captain Georges Bellinger finally gave the exact loca tion of the German batteries and soon thereafter they were annihilated by the French three inch guns. Then came the rout, according to partici pants. The Germans, pursued at the point of the bayonet, crossed the Ourcq in disorder, leaving cases Of ammunition, cloaks, knapsacks and cartridges. The losses of the Ger mans were terrible and this point of the valley of the Ourcq is still cov ered with their unburied dead. The French also suffered serious casual ties but mostly in wounded.

Twelve months' famine, which onlv outside aid can avert, faces the Kwang Tung ana jvitunftsi provinces of China. which were devastated by flood in in July with a loss of 3,000 lives and more than one hundred thousand nomes. Consul General Cheshire renorted today from Canton that more than eight million people suffered losses ana many millions in distress would neea rood until the next harvest. Re' ports of American mission workers forwarded in the consul sreneral'a re port told of the extent of the havoc and destruction. "In many places whole villages have been blotted out, inhabitants and all." says the report. "The loss of life may never be known, but the suffering causea is appalling. The West river stiu, at th end of July, is very high, the fields and lands are under several leet oi water. Banks require rebuild ing, houses re-erecting, fields to be pumped dry for planting. Taxes are remitted and other government aid is given, but even thus, the people hav ing lost all, stand helpless. 'At the first we hoped the water mignt recede more rapidly and the fields be available for the second planting. This now appears not to be poggioie. YET THEY WAVE. Villa Peeved Because Stars Stripes Still Wave Over Vera- Cruz. Mexico City, Sept. 12. General A1 va.ro Obregon last night telegraphed to General Carranza a request from General Villa that the constitutional ist chief request Washington to re move the United States troops from Vera Cruz. The dispatch quoted Gen eral Villa as follows: "With the dissolution of the Huerta government and the disbandment of the federal army now completed, we should have but one flag waving over Mexican soil. It Is humiliating that- tne stars and stripes yet wave." Girl Fights in the Ranks. Paris. Sept. 1 2. Among the wound ed brought to Noisy-Le-Sec, a town in the department of the Seine and near the Ourcq canal, was a young laun dress in a soldier's uniform. She had followed a company of Zouaves and had fought alongside of them in the trencheB. Her identity was not dis covered until she was wounded. Be fore sending her to the rear the com manding officer complimented her on her bravery. Fighting to reduce the percentage of blindness, at birth, S. J. Crumbine. sec retary of the state board of health, is sending a solution of silver nitrate to every attending physician and midwife in Kansas. Records in Kansas show that 28 per cent, of the blindness dates from birth. Dr. Crumbine is fighting to reduce this record and' is distribut ing medicine droppers and solutions of silver nitrate broadcast over the state. "Statistics would seem to indicate that the possibility of this infection In the new born is not given the atten tion it deserves by. the physicians and midwives." said Dr. Crumbine. "While we. cannot expect to eliminate all the Diinanesa in Kansas yet the state board of health believes that the 2ft tier cent. accredited to this opthalmia infection immediately after birth, is worth some effort." The flght inaugurated bv Dr. Crum bine is to render useless the state school for the blind at Kansas City, Kan. Every physician and midwife registered in Kansas will receive a so lution of the silver nitrate and instruc tions from the board of health. If a Kansas mother is not certain that her baby has been properly treated, all she needs do Is notify the board of health and a small dropper containing the solution will be forwarded to her.

At a meeting of the Topeka Indus trial Council held Friday evening, resolutions were adopted favoring the plan of a municipal automatic tele phone system for Topeka and the municipal issue of $900,000 in bonds to build the plant. The resolution states that the average citizen of the city finds it burdensome to support the present system with its overload ed party lines. Several weeks ago .officers of the council sent out letters to subscrib ers of -the automatic system and the resolutions state hat 90 --per cent of the answers were favorable to the au tomatic company The resolutions: "Whereas: The secretary of the in dustrial council of -Topeka, in pursu ance of a former resolution, has com municated with a large number of automatic telephone subscribers in cities where that system of telephones is in use, and, "Whereas: Over 90 per cent of the replies received have been highly fa vorable to the more modern system, and, "Whereas: It has been shown that public ownership of telephones, here and abroad, ..as greatly reduced the cost of telephone service to the peo ple, as well as to improve the service, and. "Whereas: The average citizen of Topeka now finds it burdensome to support the present telephone system with -its overloaded party" lines, its autocratic management, and its high residence rates, and. "Whereas: Many states are now passing minimum wage laws compel! ing. telephone companies to pay not less than 39 a week to telephone oper ators, while the present company is only paying an average wage of 34.87, and. "Whereas, If the rates are ever to be low enough to interest the laboring man, it must be largely at the expense of the company's employees, now re ceiving low. wages,, and. "Whereas, It is desirable that the rates be brought low enough to interest the working people, and afford a high standard of service, and, "Whereas, The issue of bonds for building profit paying utilities tends to lighten the burdens of the taxpayer who 'now carries almost the total cost of the city administration. "Therefore, Be it Resolved, That the i Industrial Council of Topeka commend the proposition for the issuing of 3900,000 i worm oi per cent oonas ior ine pur pose of constructing a modern auto matic telephone system in Topeka and lends its moral support toward the as sistance of this proposed municipal en terpris.3."

Being as this is the month dar ing whitch farmers others here abouts picks their appels off en the trees and puts them in barls for winter use it ockurd to us that it wouldnt be a bad idee if we was to set down and dash off a edytoriul on "The Appel Its Use Abuse, Et Cettery." We have wrote eddytoriuls on almost everythink the injinuity of the human mind could conceive of, but so far as we can recoil eckt we aint jiever wrote one on the appel. The appel aint a vegetable sich as the turnip or the onion or the potato or punkin on the contrary it is a fruit ort to be classed with other fruits sitch as the peach, plum, bananna and peanut. The appel is one of the first fruits of whitch we have enny record. In other words it is as old as the trills and then' some. If you will care fully read the first few chapters of Genesis you will find that appels grwd flourished in the Garden of Eden when Adam Eve lived in that naberhood. From what we have read we judge that Adam wasnt mutch of a hand for appels, but Eve in- dooced him to eat one whitch made him tumble sick to his stummick and sinst then the appel has been regarded as forbidden fruit. It is our opinion that the appel that Adam et must of been a green ap pel whitch is why it aff eckted him as it did becuz a ripe, rheler, juicy appel ort not to give ennybuddy a pain to their stummick: In spite of the appel being the forbidden fruit however it is tur rible poplar with all classes and if h was sent for the appel what would we do for appel pie in winter time What is more suckulent delishus than jest a appel pie Appels is not only good to make pies out of, but for ether things as well in dooding appel sass, apel molasses, appel jelly, appel butter and hard cider. There aint nobuddy of cony prominence in BingviHe who dont make at least a barl or two of hard cider from appels every fall then put same away in a safe place and leave it unmolested until it ac quires considerable kick. When the cold blustry months of Febooary March comes along when Bing viHe citizens is shut up in their homes isolated from the outside world so to speak their aint noth- ink will cheer up their drooping spirits on long winter evgs like, a few tin. dippers ful of old hard ci der. After a man has gtjlpd down a pitcher .of hard cider?" he dont keer whether he is isolated or not and if the wind is howling outside he lets it howl for he is happy and contented and joy sings in his heart. Hard cider is also valuable dur ing harvest time (perviding enny is left in the barl at that time) be ing as a jug of hard cider took out to the hayfield and partook of now and then by the harvest hands seems to fill em with new life vigger and as a result each man under the impetus of hard cider wil do two or three mens work and think nothink of it. Hard cider is a great boon to them as are low in spirit inclined to look on the dark side of things. As Edditor Prop, of the Bugele we wouldnt mind if we had a swig or two ot hard cider at the present; writing for it would chirk us up a good eal we persoonu j Hank Taking No Chanses Hank Dewberry says he thinks its ri dicklus for ennybuddy to take a bath every day like them two gentlemen sum mer boarders done who stopped at Cy Hoskins two weeks last month. Every day they: would put on their bathing suits and so in bathinjr in Snake Crick below the bridge. It was quite a specktakle to see em splashing around and nearly every afternoon when they went in there was a big; crowd of our most res peck ted cittizens colleckted on the bridge to. watch em. Hank says there is three reasons why he wouldnt take a bath as off en as onct a day. In the first place he says he'd be afeard he'd step on a snake or a tortle would bite off a toe or two and in the seckond place praps them citty fellers is more soiled than he is and needs a bath offener and in the third place if he tuk a bath that offen he'd be afeard he'd rub all bis hide offen hisself in the first place. v Biznocs Picking Up Doc Livermore our human speshialist tc veternary dropped' into our office for a chat tother day and Doc was as cheer ful as could be. Doc has been party glum and down in the mouth for the past several months and we couldnt un derstand why he seemd so happy until he told us that he had a right to be happy sum he had two eases of ty fold lever and one of diptneefy. Doc says that up to recently Bing ville folks has been so full of healt that its been almost disgusting to him but that now sickness is picking up like everything and if only a few more pa- shients takes sick soon be wm nave about all he can do. Well all we can say is that its a ill wind that dont blow nobuddy some good. Mm TbSs cist fesssl to Aczi fsstiss fiitsctiaily wfcs b txs if Mr csst rxdfci tSSsst tat fe &a ti bsnrUal aazi tiA fsl n CSzbks W regret to a notincc herewith .that Amzi Cooking one of our most re speckted but unresponsible cittizens has been overtook in his' mad career by a financhial catastrophee whitch has made Amzi menny yrs of struggle tc self denile to his shatterd forchune as we might say. Amzi is one of these kind of fellers who alius has some skeme or other whitch he believes will make him rich beyant the fondest dreams of avarice but somehow or other his sketnes dont never pan out as he thinks they will and as a result Amzi has been as poor as Jobs turkey all his life, but he amt never lost hope. No matter how dost Amzi's nose is kep to the grindstone youll alius find him jest on the verge of makin a forchune whitch will enable him to quit work and retire and live a life of luck shurv for the rest of his days. A cupple of wks ago Amzi got the idee into his head that he could make hisself a rich man by buying up all the ttotaters he could buv in BinKvitle and selling them at the co seat where there is more of a demand tor potaters tnan there is around here. First thing Amzi done was to go to Cyrus Hoskins our richest citizen and borrer $200 whitch Cy lent Amzi right j off without questshion when Amzi give Cy a mortgage on his house and lot. Soon as Amzi had the money he a nounced that he would pay $1 per bu. for this yrs potaters and would call tor same and take em away. This caused a good eal of excitement in BingviHe being as 60 cts per bu for potaters is as high as they have sold for m Bingvine ft vicinity so tar this season. When them as had potaters found that Amzi was paying $1. per bu there was a scramble to sell potaters to him. Some even hauled their potaters to Amzi in wheelbarrows or lugged em on their backs to save him coming after em. In every case Amzi paid in cash and no questshions askt. Soon as Amzi had a load of 50 bu of potaters he took em to the co seat and sold etn all out. It tuk Amzi all day to make the trip and when he got back to BingviHe and folks found that he had sold the hull load of potaters and was ready to buy more at $1. per bu them as had potaters to sell begin to hold back. They begin to think Amzi must be m ak in a tumble big profit per bu on- their potaters and they figgerd if he could do that why couldnt they also? Curi ossity was at a high pitch in BingviHe to find out bow mutch Amzi was seilmg his potaters for at the co seat but tt diddent leak out until next day after he had come back when Amzis wife told Lem Browns wife and in a hour it was all over town. Soon as Amzi got home Ms wife askt him what he got for the potaters per bu and Amzi told her 75 cts. Then Mrs. Gookins lit into Amzi as f oners: "Amzi Gooldns, you are a fool to pay $1. per bu for potaters and then self em for 75 cts per buP "You run the house and lie run' my own btzness," says Amzi. "I may be payin $1. per bu and getting only 75 cts per bu for potaters, but look how menny bushels I'm sellin Its only a questshion of time until lie begin to git ahead at this rate and then I can quit work and live like a king." Mrs. Gookins couldnt convince Amzi thoat the more bushels of potaters he bought for $1. and sold for 75 cts the worse off he was. When folks found out what Amzi was getting for his po taters they all rushed to him with their potaters agin and Amzi continued to pay em $1. per bu until all the money he had borrowed from Cy Hoskins was gone and then he a nounced he was busted and shut up shop. Amzi dont yet seem to understand why it -was he come out at the small end of the horn in his potater skeme. He says there must of been a screw loose somewheres but he'll be switched if he knows where it was. If Amzi wants to know the piac where the screw was loose was in side his own head, thats where it was. Ennybuddy with enny bizness'-gumpshion a- tall ort to know that you cant pay Sir per bu for pouters and sell em for 75 cts per bu and get rich at. it- J Miss Plironida Watkins sung a solo in the church choir last Sunday and screeched so loud that 'she like to of busted the eardrums of them who set dost to her. We seen moren one mem ber of the choir holding their fingers in their ears. When the rest of the choir is singing Phronida alius sings away above the rest, but a person would nacherly think that when she was sing ing alone and had no competishion as you might say she would tone her voice down. Jed Peters, our intelligent school teacher, opend the BingviHe school for the winter term last Monday morning at 9 o'clock a. M. Jed says he got a long first rate for the first day. Jed licked five skollers during the forenoon not becuz they had did annythink wrong in partickler but jest to show em who was boss. Ted says he finds its alius a good plan to thrash a few pupils the first day jest for example sake and to git his hand in. Harve Hines our ton so rial barber busted the G-string on his catarr tother day and Harve says he'll be lost until he gits a chanct to purchase a new G string at the co.. seat being as he dont skeercely know what to do with hisself when he aint cutting sumbuddy's hair, shaving beards or shampooing. Harve puts in his time playing on his catarr during his leeshure time. Bill Wiggins has a sick horse on his hands. Bill fixd up a dose of liquid medisin for the horse in a qt whiskey bottle and was jest agoing to administer same into the horse's mouth if possible when without no warning the horse up and sneezed right into Bill's fase. skeer- ing him outen his boots and nearly blowing him offen his feet. After, that Bill got mad and refused to give the horse enny medisin. Bill said a horse that would sneeze in his fase like that could git well or die whitchever it per frrred. It died. These seems to be about all the "Lokal Squibs" whitch happens to occur to us at this writing. If we think of enny more of same before we go to press we will save em and print em in next wks Bugle. Nappy Valloy Hame Wilson put a new roost pole in his henhouse tother day. Hame is a very enterprisin man and is alius mak ing some improvement or other around his property thus beautifying it and in creasing it in value. It would be a good thing if more nereaoouts would toiler Hames example. Mrs. Benj. Gibbs is laid up with a crick, in her neck. She think she got it last; Sunday at. church when she looked around suddint to see who it was that come in late. It was Mrs. Sim Bean Mrs. Sim Bean is most generally alius late. Eph Foster while driving Miss Milly West through the-village behint his new trotting horse last Sunday and showing off bad the horse to cast a shoe -whitch struck Eph a wallop on the head nearly knockin him outen the buggy and con tusing his scalp a good eal.

Hez Andrews says we may look out for a couple of storms soon. Hez says that we nave alreddy had one and he has alius notised that after we have had one storm it is alius follerd by two more.

The cow has been to the barn a couple of times and Heck has tried to feller her back to where she has her calf hid. but the cow is too smart for Heck and wont go to her calf long as Heck is around.

Copyright, 1914, by the Star Company. All Foreign Rights Reserved. K T PEITHER Hicks, in the runabout, with IJ Pauline, bound and covered, at his feet, nor Harry, galloping his strange steed along the lonely road, knew that a third person had Joined the chase that, miles behind, but always gaining, another automobile bearing another adventurer was following Pauline. He had not been an adventurer long young Bassett, of The American. In fact. the excitement of his existence since he became a reporter and Joined the Jehus of the truth wagon had consisted mainly of -chasing picture." in the afternoon, and going to strings of banquets at night. Young Bassett had no more enthusiasm for photo- graphs than he had for banquets. Word painting and graining was his art he knew. And so when a big story walked up snd beckoned to him he was as happy as a boy In love. It had been a dull day for news. The evening papers were barren of suggestions and the assignments had run out before Bassett's name was reached. That meant another afternoon of dismal lingering in the office, without even a photograph to chase. Bassett flung himself disgustedly into a chair and straightened a newspaper with a vicious crackle as the last of the other re- porters hurried out. Bassett thought he) caught a gleam or merry pity in tne repor- ter's eye. Never mind. Let 'em laugh. Let 'em wait. One of these days he'd be the one getting the real stuff snd putting It through, too, from tip to type, without a rewrite man or a copy reader touching It Let 'em wait! "In a balloon? Where?" The suddenly vibrant voice of the city editor talking over the telephone caused Bassett to lower his paper and hushed even the chatter of the day office boys. "Palisades Panatella; yes. Who's ths girl? You don t know?" The paper dropped from Bassett's hands, "Much obliged. I'll have a man over there, but you go right ahead." The city editor clicked down the receiver and whirled in his chair. "Oh Bassett," Bassett was beside the desk with spectral speed. "Our Weehawken man says a young woman has been carried off by Panatella's balloon. They've lost the balloon. Get a car and get over there- quick. Oo as far as you like, only find the girl and let me Hear from you quick.' Bassett Jumped to a phone and ordered a This Is from the SlottOB Picture Film ef "Pauline" by the Famous Pathe Players,. WO! Ibny Be in Time to Save Pauline? The Great New Photo-Play Serial Story pr,p..n blank a brief will. Then he dies. A law- taking advantage of Pauline's adventurous spirit lure her to a balloon ascentlon and Owen persuades her to enter ths basket. After she has done so, a horse hidden by vil lainous confederate of ths plotters, scat ters the crowd about ths bag, and ths balloon with only Pauline In It, la cast adrift. Harry follows It In a swift auto with Owen and Hicks In another. The balloon drops down on ths sdge of the Palisades on the Hudeon River, leaving Pauline on an apparently Inaccessible ledge Harry rescues her, but after they have reached ths foot of ths cliffs the two are set upon by Hicks, masked, who knocks Harry unconscious and kldnsps Pauline. Harry, recovering, again takes up ths pur suit. high-powered machine to meet him at Ninety-sixth street. He ran down William street, with his straw hat under his arm, and dived into the subway. An express had him at Ninety-sixth street. In a few minutes. His machine was there. They dashed for ths ferry and were on the aviation field before the bewildered crowd that had witnessed the runaway flight of the balloon had begun to disperse. Bassett Jumped out snd mingled with the people. They knew nothing except the gen eral direction toward the west that the balloon had taken. Automobilists had pur- sued for a long way. but had seen ths eas Daf 1 ,,,to north and disappear In the t? r- W&VSJTUSSli not returned.

Bassett got back in the car beside ths driver, and they glided off on the westward road. Every one in the fsrm houses along the route had seen the balloon. But ths houses were further snd further apart as Bassett's course was drawn northward and often he missed the trail. The trail was biased by the wheel ruts of a giant touring car and a small runabout that frequently left the highways and plowed across the fields. When Bassett lost these at last he was in despair. He lost them in the middle of a field that was marshy where the automobiles left the road and rock-dry at the middle and further side. After a half-hour's manoeuvring Bas sett ordered the driver to go back to the road. There was a despondent quaver in his voice. "Maybe they done the same thing turned round an' come back." suggested the chauf feur. "Hello, what kind of a rig Is that?" he added as a wagon apepared around a, bend in the road. The peculiar thing about the "rig" was that while it was a tongued wagon, with wnirnetrees for two horses, there was only one horse. The driver, a bearded farmer, was urging the patient animal on, although It was impossible for It to do more than plod In its awkward harness. "What's the matter?" called Bassett, cheerily, as the machine drew alongside and stopped. "I dunno," replied the farmer, shaking his grizzled head. "Ef I was a young feller like you I'd go right off an' find out." "Ill go right away; what's up? 'I dunno. I alnt knowed anythln' like It In this part o the country in fifty year.

"Where are they? Did yon see a auty mobller he yells at me. I tells nlm what I had saw, an' he takes my off boss there an' goes gallopin up the road." "What road?" cried Bassett. "Ye circle this here eld an' climb the hill, then take the first turn." "Which way?" "West, If ye don't wants Jump In the river." "What, we're back at the river," gasped Bassett "That's about my luck. The bat loon's gone over the river; ifs in New York, and some Harlem reporter Is leading It down to his office on a leash to have it photographed, and I'm I'm hoodooed, that's all." "I dunno," said the farmer, "but ef ye ast me, I'd say that feller In the autymobile was makin' for the woods beyond Quirks borough. It's lonely up through there, as' he had somethin' in that there machine that he wanted to keep lonely, I'm guessis." Bassett motioned to the driver to go on. "We might as well see what It is; the bal loon's gone home for supper," he said bit terly. In five minutes they reached the turn where the farmer had last seen Harry Mar vin disappear. They took the turn Into an ill-kept dust-heavy road that had cast Its blight of brown upon the reeds that bor dered it The woods became more and more dense and the road more narrow. In some places the dust was crusted, as It had dried after the last rain, and the men In the automobile could see that the wheels of another ma chine and the hoofs of a galloping horse had plunged through this crust but a short tlme before. Around a bend in the road, going at full speed. Bassett sighted Harry Marvin for the first time. He stood up beside the driver and hailed him, but Harry did not even turn around. The beat of his horse's hoofs drowned the sound. The deep lines of the runabout's wheels In the dust held nis gaze and his senses to one thing alone the rescue of Pauline. JJwMS to i?wSf h knw that h ht a iitt wav afoot. The sturdy creature was his only honn The road's high, close-set wall of trees was broken for the first time by a little clearing. Harry's passing glance showed him that there was a honse In the clearing He was exhausted and athlrst. but his eyes swept back to the wheel tracks on the road The wheel tracks continued up the road. The runabout had gone on. Harry, without drawing rein, was about to follow. But suddenly, weirdly, the rickety walls of the deserted house gave forth a sound, a rattle and a crash, and from a shuttered window beside the low-silled door bellied a gray sheet of smoke. Harry reined the foaming horse and sprang off. Freed of his weight, the animal staggered on a few paces and tell, panting, in the dust. Harry did not see It. He was battering at the door of the burning house. Hicks could hardly be called a nervous or a timid man. He was certainly not a cow ard, like Owen; but neither did he have the shrewd, scheming mind which was the bul wark of the craven secretary's weakness. At the moment when they discovered the young lovers safe at the foot of the cliff after the escape from the balloon and rock ledge, the two arch conspirators were two very different men. Owen was shaking like a leaf In his terror of discovery shaking like a leaf but thinking of a hundred schemes to save himself. Hicks wss deadly cool, and thinking of Just one thing Im mediate and cold-blooded murder. But now, although he thought he had killed Harry, although he knew he had Pauline gagged and bound In the bottom of the ruunabout. Hicks was afraid. Hs wss afraid of the Incompleteness of the thing. He wss eager to have done with the girl as well as with the man to pat them both out of the way. And now this latest plan of Owen's was bat another chapter of pro crastination. The incident of the farmer's curiosity had unnerved him, too. He put back over his face one of the white handkerchiefs that he had taken off when he began the flight. He uttered a final admonition to Pauline, i "There's no more 'pity-the-poor-girl' stuff In this," he- said gruffly. "I've told you to keep quiet. If yon don't keep quiet- I'll kill you. Ill kill yon with my hands while you're lying- there under the blanket. I mean what I say." He still had the instinctive crook sense to conceal hia natural voice. Hicks was. afraid, but as mile after mile fell behind them on the dusty road, and the westerning sun gave promise of the early shelter of dark, he began to gain confidence. He mumbled to himself reminiscently: -"The old Grigsby house, eh? Nobody but" he Checked himself.- "Nobody but somebody would thought that.- Less peo ple has lived there and more people has died there than In any dwellm' home I know of," he added with a chuckle. If Hicks was talking to himself about his destination. It was the "old Grigsby house," In front of which the runabout came to a stop after many miles of travel. The building was set back from the road about three hundred yards. In front of it and on either aids the trees had been cat away, but a tangle of riotous shrubbery lined the path to the door. Behind the house the trees had been left untouched, and now la Its tottering condition the ven erable building literally rested on two of the great elms, like sa old man on crutches. The windows were few and shuttered. The black steel blinds were dead as ths eyes of a skull. The steel wss not rusted and only a little weather stained. One might have guessed that the house had bees This Is from the Motion Picture Film of "Psullns" by the Famous Pathe Players. Pauline, Bound and Gagged, Left to Die tn a Burning House. recentlv Inhabited. There were no steps to Che door. It opened on the ground level, with a cracked board servln as both norch and footmat The signs of attempted preservation were what gave the place Its ominous air. A de serted farm house gone to utter ruin In that lonely spot would have been mysterious and perhaps a little ghostly, but there would have been no menace in Its grip on the Imagination. There was a menace In the steel shutters of the old Grigsby house, and in the fact that the path to the door was kspt clear. Up this path Hicks carried Pauline. Be fore he lifted her In his arms he tested her bonds, so that by no chance might she tear the handkerchief from his face. He did not know that Pauline was too terrified to con ceive the simplest plan of action. Com pared with the fear that possessed her now the torturing suspense of the balloon flight seemed like peace and safety. Hicks held her with one arm while with the other he produced a key and unlocked the low door. Swinging heavy on strong hinges, It opened Into a narrow hall, mil dewed with the dampness of decay, the dust of disuse. Paper had once been pasted over the unplastered boards of the wall, but most of It had been torn off or drenched away by intruding rains, and the dry shreds lay in a heap of other rubbish at the foot of the stain. Hicks carried Pauline up the stairs, which groaned and bent under his steps. He pushed open a door at the top. The room within was dark because of the shuttered window. There was only one window. There was a broken chair, a table, a cot, a washstand, with pitcher and bowl, and a small oil lamp set in a bracket on the wall. These were the only furnishings. Hicks let Pauline sink upon the cot He hastened to light the lamp, using the same match for a cigarette. He seemed sparred by a desire to get away as it the totter ing, grimy walls held memories too grim for even bis hardened soul. He tested the shut ters of the window, which were locked on the outside. He stepped back to the cot and cut Pauline's bonds. He removed the bandage from her lips. As she fell back in a half swoon he hurried through the door, closed and locked It and went down the 'stairs.- Half way down he stopped abruptly, stood for a moment listening, then hastened on, dropping his cigarette over the bannister. He did not see where it fell. He did not care. His only aim was to get out to get away. Hicks had been afraid. He had heard a sound as he came down the stairs that turned his fear to terror. It was the distant grumble of an automobile horn. He locked the door and sped down the bramble-walled path to the runabout He had left it in the middle of the road, and so as he leaped in and started again it left no swerve of its wheel ruts toward the old Grigsby house. It was five miles .to the nearest town, but Hicks made It In twenty minutes, and with out hearing again the threatening auto mobile horn. He got his runabout stowed In a garage and hastened to telephone to Owen. For half an hour Owen had been locked In the library of the Marvin house. The. events, of the early afternoon, the failure of his best-laid plans, the suspense of waiting the result ef Hicks's final move, had made him a nervous wreck. He had lighted a dozen cigars and thrown them away. As many times he had picked up the telephone, only to set it down again without calling a num ber. At last he had taken out the thin tube of light pills, had drawn the shades, switched on the electric lights, and sat down to wait for the hall-peace that mor- Famous Pathe phlno brought to his conscience. As he leaned back In his chair, awaiting the effect of the drug, the mammy in Its case stood in front of him. He closed his eyes in a pleasant stupor, tie openea mem in terror. He uttered a hacking cry and shrank back in his chair. For a moment his hands were outstretched In front of him, with claw-like fingers clutching at thin air; then he covered his eyes with them. He covered Ms eyes to shut from view the mummy, which suddsnly cams to I Ifs again, stood over the guilty man, Its up raised hand pointing to him the finger of accusation; Its woman's eyes blszlng with anger; Its cold lips spesklng a message that chilled his blood The telephone bell Jangled again and again before Owen found courage to open his eyes. When he did so he clutched at the instrument, eager for the sound of a human voice. "Hello! Owen?" "Yes that is" He glanced apprehen sively over his shoulder at the mummy. Its hand was lowered and it stood motionless as before. He turned excitedly back to the phone. "It's you, Hicks, Is It? What news, man?" "Well, she's at Grlgsby's; but I don't know for how long." "What do you mean?" "Somebody was after me." "Not HIM?" "I shouldn't wonder. I heard a horn on the road, and I give you my word there hadn't been nothin' on that road la two months. Hhat have you done?" "Nothing yet" "What!" "I was Just about to call the police whea you rang me up. I'll do It now." "You shoulda done it from Jersey." "I couldn't I was all gone to pieces Stay over there and 111 Join you to-night To-morrow we'll, see. Go back to the house and watch." "AU right" said Hicks, but he had no In tention of doing it A man was needed at the old Grigsby house Just then, for, aided by the whim of fate. Hicks had placed Pauline in a greater danger than he knew. His lighted cigarette had fallen among the wisps of old wall paper in the hall. Pauline, left alone. began to regain her courage. After a few moments she was able to stand up and move slowly about her prslon room. She .tried-the door and the window shutters mechanically. sne searched the room for something that might be used to batter down the door. There was nothing. She sat on the cot and tried to think. She sprang up again, trembling.. The dry. choking smell of smoke had reached her. i She ran to the door. The fumes were more pungent there: She turned, baffled, piteous, alone she turned and looked on death. For through the cracks in the floor flashed now the golden daggers of flame in sheaths of stifling smoke. She cowered," choking, by the outer wall of the room. The flame daggers grew into scimitars.' The Inner wall caught fire. There was ao outlet for the suffocating smoke. Pauline sprang to the middle of the room and seized the broken chair. With all her might she crashed, it against the door. It fell in pieces at her feet She picked up a leg of. the chair and, running to the window, pounded upon the shutters. She alternately screamed and beat upon- the shutters. Her screams were stifled In the sealed room; It was the rattle and crash upon the shutters that made w. w UWUqQ of the Grigsbys. Reining, he saw smoke burst from the lower windows, sad. battering on the locked &r. t ill ii i ilisMiiiiriYfiimii y tm't iissmmmmmmassssmmmWisiasmmMlism i ffl Players By Arrangements with the Eclectic film Ce.

Al ways it was to him she called. Always, In spired by that call, be had found their way to safety. But now He thrust the full weight of his mighty body against the door. It held like solid rock. "Harry! Harry!" came the cries again. "I'm coming, Polly; I'm here!" He dashed to where a heavy tree ltmb had fallen under a lightning blast He car ried it to the door, raised It and charged with it as a battering ram. He might as well have slapped at the door with his flat palm. He looked at the windows whence the smoke poured. The smoke was mingled with flame now. He was half erased by the cries from above. He raised the limb to try to break the shutters. He stopped and let It fall. It was the toot of an automobile horn and the excited voice of young Bas sett that stopped him. "What's doing?" gasped the reporter ss he ran up. "Is anybody In there?" Harry pointed to the shuttered window of the upper room. The cries came gnfn, and with the sound of the woman's voice in his ears Bassett turned sick. He made a dizzy charge at the door. Harry caught him back. "All three together," he said. They flung their strength at the portal-4 all three together. And still it held. Bassett turned away, sobbing. Hs up to see Harry springing Into the bis It came tearing through the brambles.

Aa a rule Mr. Bowser sits down after dinner to his newspaper and cigar for or. hour or so, but the other evening he sot up to put on his hat and make ready to go cut. "Is It club night?" queried Mrs. Bow ser. "V may go around to the club." he evasively answered. "Perhaps there's a ward caucus or something?"' "Tes, mebbe." Mrs. Bowser didn't press the subject, and after m interval of five minutes Mr. Bowser turned t- her with: "I'll tell you where I'm going. I'm going up o Roller Hall with Barr--. He's been at me for a month to go with him some night and I've finally con sented. He wants me to show him a trick or two." "A trick or two about what?" "In roller-skating. He's got It bad. you know. He's been out every night ince the hall was opened." "But you you don't know anything about skating." protested Mr. Bowser. WITH k wh-moi MO A "Kxcuse me, madam," replied Mr. Bowser, as h; drew himself up. "but I beg to dispute with you. I don't say that I have had any great practice, but I think I can show Barnes and all the rest of 'em a few wrinkle-.." "Are you going to take an ambulance and a surgeon along?" "That will do, Mrs. Bowser. Tou'd op pose me, of course, but don't try to be funny. I am going to the halt I shall put on skates and cut pigeon-wings, fig ure eights, crosses and all sorts of scrolls. It will not only be an outing for me. but will take the stiffness out of that left knee. You needn't sit up for me." "If you are badly injured I suppose they will take you to the hospital and notify me?" she queried, aa Barnes rang the doorbell. Mr. Bowser choked back a hot reply and passed out, but before settling down for the evening Mrs. Bowser got out the camphor, the brandy and a roll of plaster and placed them on the stand in the hall, where he could find them on his return. As a boy Mr. Bowser had "shot the ice skate" to some extent, and he had confidence that the lapse of thirty years would make no difference In his curley-kewing about. That con fidence grew larger and more liberal every minute as he journeyed along with Barnes, and he was not yet half way to the park when he gleefully and confidentially observed: "I'm not after a prize for fancy skat ing, but I think I'll open the eyes of the crowd a little before I'm through. I'll play off at first, but you watch my zig sags when I get down to business. I'm pretty heavy for a swan or a gazelle, but I think I can cut a few dodges Just a few." It was a fine night and the big rink was crowded. It was not until Mr. Bowser say the jam that he felt any loss of confidence. Most of the skaters were young people and moving with grace and agility, and it suddenly oc curred to him that he might have grown a little heavy In thirty-five or forty years. He was wondering if he couldn't work that left knee off on Barnes as an excuse when a bad faced young man who was looking on as a spectator turned and said: "Don't yer put 'em on, old man." "What do you mean, sir?" demanded llr. Bowser. "Don't put on dem skates. Ter too fat and loggy. Ter might roll down hill in a bar'l, but yer can t cut no pigeon-wings on dls floor: Mr. Bowser got mad all over, and from that minute his determination was fixed. He would skim that floor as the gull skims the sea, only with a gooa deal more grace, and after the skimming act was over he would make that bad-faced young man beg his paraon tor tne insulting words. REFUGEES FLEEING EN 1 f (1 2V' I,. 5 IS 1 "How are you going to work It?"! asked Barnes as his skates were ad justed and all was ready. "He'll work It wld a flip-flop and a duni-dum." put in the bad-faced young man. "Say. Cully, when old Uncle Josh gits out der on skates ders goin' to be a time to beat der band. Look at the heft on him. Look at der curves on his hind legs. I wouldn't miss de sight for a hat full of coin." Mr. Bowser was reaching out for the young man with the firm intention of wrecking ms lire wnen a poncenwn came alone- and interfered. A crowd quickly collected, and there were nzty nesnle ahout when a start was made from the edge of the floor. It wasn't a graceful start. It was a start with a hip-hop and a hobble, with the- left leg dragging behind. The crowd de cided that it was a bluff by a oroies sional skater and the policeman called out: "Our Uncle Eli has got a trick up his sleeve. "Give' In, old man, and cut de pigeon-wing!" yelled a third. Mr. Bowser would have given one million dollars in cash, a brick house, and a yoke of oxen to have been toast ing his toes at his own fireside lust then, but he was in for it and must carry it through. As be wobbled around on the floor he tried to re member how he used to start in to cut a Roman scroll, but memory failed him. The shouting continued, but there was nothing encouraging. He finally determined to get his feet to gether and make a circle or the room to drive the weakness out of his knees. and then the end came. At his first move his heels shot forward, his body dangled In space for an instant, and then he came down with a crash and a concussion. The concussion took place when the back of his head hit the floor, and it was just as well for his peace or mind that he lost conscious ness for the next sixty seconds and didn't hear what was said. When he came to he had been dragged to the door, the rkates were removed and the policeman was saying: "Now; old man, if you've any home to go to you'd better git! Tour line is jumping over eight horses and an ele phant, and you should stick to It!" "It was dis way," said the bad-faced young man, who had cautioned old Mr. Bowser in the beginning. "We was a happy crowd here, and all was going well, when dis old rooster comes along and begins his brag as how he kin crisscross and flipflop and razzle dazzle. He blows so much dat we give him a show. De fust ting he does is to bump into Jimmy de Kid. Den he caroms agrinst Foxy Doles. Knocks de heels from under two females and skeers de life out'n four innocent chil dren. We fought he was only hilarious, but when he tried de grand flipflop and lost his legs and got up with his ears flappin', we seen dat he was only a hill on wheels. As many of dis crowd as favors giving him de grand chuck will hold up his right hand." Most of the hands went up, hut the policeman interfered and again ad vised Mr. Bowser to cultivate the ae ouaintance of his fireside without un necessary delay. Mr. Barnes said he'd go home with him, but Mr. Bowser glared at him and made threatening gestures. Then Mr. Barnes said he was sorry about the crash and th collision and asked how it happened. But Mr. Barnes waved him aside and left the hall alone. There were fourteen different aches in his back, and his head seemed to be four times too large and full of wheels, but he wouldn't take a hack. It was an hour before he reached home. Mrs. Bowser was still up, and she met him at the door. One look at him told the story. "Woman he began as he held on to a peg of the hall-tree with one hand. Then she gently led him into the sitting-room, tenderly deposited him on the lounge and kindly said: "Poor man. Tou evidently fell out of a tree. JJust lie quiet, and I will do all I can to save your life. It may take years and years to reduce this bump on the back of your head, and I notice that you are lop-shouldered and have only one leg twisted out of shape, but don't worry. It's all in the pigeon wings, you know." (Copyright. 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndi cate.) SALT ON TAILS CATCHES BIRDS. Docks Unable to Fly When Coated With Saline Solution. The truth of the old saying that birds may be caught through the process of pouring salt on their tails is vouched for by O. C. Hofer, of this city, who has Just returned from an inspection of salt properties in which he Is interested at Scendena, located 20 miles north of Randsburg. Hofer came upon the carcass of a duck entirely incased in salt, and fur ther investigation revealed the fact that persons living in the vicinity of the evaporating vats or ponds Into which the water from a salt lake is pumped, are accustomed to keeping themselves supplied with toothsome duck by pick ing up the helpless birds after they have alighted in the solution. After they have been once immersed in the salty water, the ducks' wings are powerless to lift them out of harm's way. Riverside Cal.) dispatch to San Francisco Chronicle.

Tho 8tate Journal !s a member of the Associated press and receives tee full day "telegrap report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jom nal building over wires for this sole pur. poke. As it usually the case in any old kind of a fight, Austria, who began the war, is likely to be the first to cry quits. Remember the date, October 4, and do your duty accordingly. President Wilson has designated it as the day when the people of this nation shall gather in their churches to pray for peace. Pope Benedict's appeal to the na tions of Europe to end the slaughter and establish peace will probably fall on deaf ears. Each of them seems to be mad with the war lust. Turkey having cait off all of her ob ligations to all the nations of the world, Turkey hash will be in order either before or shortly after the con clusion of the big; European war. A land -"where wealth accumulates and men decay," aa ominously de scribed by Goldsmith, Is lucky enough, thinks the Washington Star, com pared to a land that is sacrificing both its men and Its wealth. Although the war has been running along for more than six weeks, noth ing like a decisive battle appears to have been fought as yet. All of which can only mea.i that hopes for the war being a short one have been in vain. And the wise American farmer will raise all the horses he can In the im mediate future. There is going to be a tremendous demand for them in Eu rope when 'ha war is over. In fact, there's a big one now for war purposes. Isn't the decision of the Demo cratic statesmen to tax freight as one of the means to provide emergency revenue, a confession that freight Is not now charged by the, railroads with all that such traffic can reasonably bear And the "front" that Czar Nicholas mar go to, is certain to be many safe miles 1: the rear of Russian fighting line. A ruler of the mould of- the Russian potentate never takes the slightest chance of placing his "sa cred" person in danger. Evidently the military experts on the sidelines are correct in their in sistence that England has not begun to fight as y She went into the war with an available army of about 00,000 soldiers. Her. present plans are to put 1,800,000 men in the field. It may be that Secretary Bryan's unusual activities these days in the negotiation of his famous peace treaties are due to the fact that he has not been able this summer to make his usual rounds of the Chau tauqua. The Nobel peace prize, you know, Is owrth S40.000 in cash. That story In a London newspaper abyut the German emperor having planned to take up bis residence in the United States in the event of the defeat of his arms is interesting. But It is difficult to imagine that the Kaiser has ever contemplated the possibility of his military forces being beaten. No wonder the English soldiers on the battlefields in France and Belgium are making a reasonably good show ing against the wonderful German military machine. Reports state that the Englishmen are fighting like they play football. There is no stopping a football player until he is knocked unconscious. In his endeavors to subjugate France. Kaiser Wilhelm may have in mind the fact that a dog is most gen erous In the bestowal of its friendship on the hand that beats it the most severely. One of his friends declares that the German emperor has been trying for many years to win. the friendship of France. And the chances .are that Czar .Nicholas will have quite as difficult a time in paying his prospective visit to Berlin as Kaiser Wilhelm is experi encing in reaching Paris. Getting from place to place in Europe is not the snap these days that it once was for the crowned heads. There is also the possibility now that they will make the return trips on a stretcher. While the Mexican revolutions were in progress during the past two years there were almost dally reports in the newspapers of railroad bridges being destroyed, and of miles and miles and miles of railroad track being torn up, an-i of railraod equipment In enormous quantities being destroyed In one way or another. And the conclusion was reasonable that it would take many months, and perhaps years, to restore the railroad facilities of the country in the event that anything like peace ever came to it. But now comes the news that they are already running through trains between Juarez and the City of Mexico. All of which would seem to ind.cate that the damage done to Mex ico by the revolutions is nothing like as extensive as people were led to be lieve, and that the recovery of that nation will be unusually rapid If any thing like an opportunity is presented. DANGER OK ICK INFECTION. The modern practice of using Iced food and drinks ts so universal in this country that It is Important to deter mine to what degree ice may be relied on as not carrying infection. When in the seventies and eighties of the last century it was shown that pathogenic bacteria might survive freezing, ice fell under suspicion as a possible me dium for the transmission of disease; yet few epidemics have been ascribed to it, and the evidence concerning these has been regarded as Inconclu sive. H. S. Cumming in a recent arti cle in the United States public health reports makes a study from the point of view of the source of ice, the phys ical and biologic changes accompany ing or consequent on its formation. and the methods employed in its col lection or manufacture and handling. Ice is either natural or artificial. Until recently. In order to secure clean, transparent artificial ice, it was neces sary to distil the water used, thus de stroying all disease germs present. With the newer methods employed, filtration is held to be sufficient. Cum- ming remarks that the fact, well known to .chemists, that during crys tallization nearly all extraneous sub- j stances are expelled from the crystal, was overlooked by sanitarians until recently. As Whipple says, "Quali tatively the early bacteriologists were; right; quantitatively they were wrong." In the formation of natural ice, most of the impurities, are expelled into the waters of the pond or stream; and the same result is attained by the newer methods of artificial ice making. By the "can" method, cans of water are immersed in the freezing mixture. As the freezing proceeds, the impurities are forced toward the center. In one of the newer methods, large cans are used, and the cakes of ice are cut into smaller ones, eliminating the dirty core. By another new "can" method, the impurities are expelled into about six inches of water kept liquid by agi tation. In the "plate" method, the water is contained in large tanks, on one side of which are pipes containing the freezing mixture. The water freezes next the pipes in plates about 11 inches thick, and the impurities are expelled into the water beyond. Some natural ice is undoubtedly de rived from polluted rivers or ponds. Three great factors tend to purify ice from polluted waters: The first, as just mentioned, Is crystallization. The second is temperature the fact that freezing destroys a large percentage of bacteria. The third and most im portant is time. The longer the time intervening between the infection of water and its use (asSvater or as ice), the slighter the chance of the survival of the germs. On this score, natural ice, which Us collected and stored for several months before shipment, has the advantage over artificial ice, which is usually marketed soon after it is made. Owing to these three factors crystallization, temperature, time clear, clean Ice is of itself as free from danger as could be wished. Artificial ice made from pure water in clean, sanitary factories may be regarded as safe; so also may natural ice cut from reasonably pure deep ponds or lakes and stored under sanitary conditions. Artificial ice made from polluted water in dirty, insanitary factories is unsafe; natural ice cut from shallow polluted ponds or from grossly pol luted rivers is also unsafe. Any dirty appearing, cloudy ice may be infected as well as polluted; no such ice should be used in contact with food or drinks. Ice which is otherwise safe may be come infected by improper handling by being dragged across dirty streets or sidewalks or distributed by unclean hands. This is the great source of danger. Summing up the situation, the Journal of the American Medical Association says that w may prac- tinfrllv Allmlmt. 1 ;uT;' -V;:-7,.""s" "?.av.0,al"s w. ..-..v..,..s i wnn airty nands. by washing the ice with pure water, ana Dy using only clear ice. COUNTY AND CITY FUNCTIONS. That the county is no more and no less than a convenient device for lo calizing the operations of the state government, and that iu officers are charged th the state's business only, is said by C. A. Crandall of the Rochester, NT. Y.. bar, writing in the September Case and Co: ment, the Lawyers' Magazine, to be a fact al most entirely obscured. Every function whose performance is now properly intrusted to the coun ty is a matter of state business. The care of the poor, criminals and in sane, the matter of highways, sanita tion, and drainage, the collection of taxes, the keeping of records, and the administration of justice, :.re all de partments of state activity, and coun ty officers are but the agents of the state. If we are to reconstruct our system of internal government x i-nd make i ui.ties autonomous, self-governing municipal corporations, there is grave doubt as to the advisability of keeping in subordinat.on to and under the jurisdiction of the county an al ready existing municipal corporation. the city, whose population may be in excess of that of the remainder of the county, and whose interests and neces sities ara widely divergent from those of the rural part of the county. If, on the other hand, counties shall be determined to be merely convenient means -or localizing the activities of the stata government, then the ques tion again arises aa to whether It la wise that in the city, a highly organ ized political subdivision, quite suffi cient unto itself, the performance of the function of the state shall be through the means of the county and its officers, or whether it will be mora satisfactory that, aa to tie state, cities shall themselves be made counties, similar to the county, boroughs of England.

Many a fellow who hr-s been refused by a girl is envied by the fellow who wasn't. Here Is something for you to add to your list of worries, says the Arkan sas City Traveler. The last wild pigeon, which was in the zoo at Cin cinnati, is dead. A butcher in Erie, so the story goes, was wrapping up a quarter's worth of bacon in a microscopic package. "Be sure and put plenty of paper around that meat," cautioned the customer. "I have a small hole in my pocket and I don't want to lose it." One reason why help is scarce, urges Mrs. Tom Thompson in the Howard Courant, is because help that is worth while soon joins the bosses. The strongest pro-German editorial page :n Kansas, declares Charlie Blakesley in the Kansas City Star, Is that of an Indomitable Irishman, Dave Leahy of the Eldorado Republican.

(By Mary Evans.) Mrs. Osterby emitted a series of spas modic sniffs. "L" sniff "I believe." sniff, sniff "it's biscuits again. John!" Her sol- John, taking i-dv: --e of a long twilight, was trying to read his paper out on the front porch. He looked up. "Yes. mother," he asked patiently. "I say I." sniff, sniff "I most certain ly smell burning biscuits again." Since his mother seemed to expect it, John, too, sniffed the air. "It is some thing possibly biscuits, mother," he said. "No, 'possibly' about it, John," Mrs. Osterby declared. "I know the smell of burning bread whjn I smell it; and this is the third time this week. She -t be shiftless whoever she Is." The person in question was the young woman who had recently moved next door to the Osterby family. The Os terbys, being New England to their bones, could not possibly call until they ascertained whether or not the neigh bors were respectable. The young woman seemed to be at home alone all day and at night a man arrived. The man was young, too; though Mrs. Os terby had seen him only at dusk. He seemed to commute back and forth to the city: "I wish I knew whether it was her husband or her brother who has to put up with that kind of shiftless way o' doing things," Mrs. Osterby continue though her son h id turned again to his paper. "I say, John do you know whether it is her husband or her broth- t man?" Mrs. Osterby insisted. John laid aside his paper with a touch of impatience. ,"No, mother, I'm sure I don't. But rest assured she is re spectable or Mr. Chapham wouldn't have rented the cottage to her." Mrs. Osterby hastened to add, "Oh. I don't doubt that, John, dear, but she hasn't been carefully brought up If she burns the dinner every night." "Perhaps not, but she's pretty, moth er." John ventured, smiling. "Then you've seen her close?" Mrs. Osterby asked. "Not close enough, mother," the son laughed. "John!" "What I mean is that I've seen her just enough to want to know more of her. and something tells me it is her brother who comes home so late and that she is trying to keep house for him." Mrs. Osterby looked serious. This might be the case, after all. Perhaps but no she could hardly venture to descend to a chance acquaintance with a neighbor. "If she goes to church I well, we might call on them, John," Mrs. Oster by said. John sat up straight. "I'll ask Dr. Watson to look her up and invite her to church. That will be quite conven tional, eh, mother?" His mother looked concerned. Her fine smooth brow wrinkled in perplex ity. She nodded her head, however. "Yes, I think it could be done that way, John," she said. And John lost no time in seeing that It was done that way. He had known the parish minister ever since he was a lad in Sunday school and he put this to him. laughingly, as his duty. On the following Sunday morning the girl next door started for church. She looked fresh and sweet in a flow ered muslin frock, and sher carried a rose-colored parasol, together with her prayer book. "Yes she is, John--she Is pretty." remarked Mrs. Osterby from behind the awning as she watched the girl pass. "And I'll venture to say she is lone ly, mother," John said earnestly, his eyes following the rose-colored parasol down tne street. John did not go to church, though he wanted to this time. His mother left him ptanding on the .torch as she bustled olT in her black silk gown. with Its fresh white ruchings. I hope mother won t lose much time in calling," he said to himself. "That girl is sweet that's what she is." It was almost a week before John actually met Helen London and her brother. He found her even prettier as sue sat in tne nammocK opposite tne porcn railing wnere be himself was sitting than she had been in the snatched glimpses he had had of her on tne street. "Do you know. Miss London." he waa saying, "it was the smell of your burning biscuits or or something burning, any way." he hastened to add as he saw the color mounting to the roots of her curly hair, "that really waa the means of get ting me over here?" "I I can t cook very well." the airl began to apologize: "but It is a notion of my brother Bob's that every girl should know how. Ana so we took this little cot tage for a month just he and I, for I never could learn so much at home where we have a cook and I've been doing all the cooking and housekeeping. Bob's proud of me in spite of the way I've burned a lew things. I have no mother, and Bob has always undertaken my bringing up. Father doesn't under stand such things, however." There was a note or pathos m the girl s voice that touched John Osterby to the heart. He longed to tell her that even If her father didn't know everything ho had the sweetest girl for a daughter that he had ever seen. Instead, he said, cir cumspectly, "Don't you think It will take more than a month to learn?" "Oh and Helen blushed again. "It- it might, but Bob must go back. He doesn't like going back and forth to busl- My mother is a good cook. Maybe she would teach you and well, I was thinking that perhaps your brother would let you stav with us and cet some further ex perience," John said, scarcely knowing why be ventured so far. But it happened Just that way. Bob took a fancy to tbe good New England mother of John Osterby and pel milled hia sister to remain as their mi eat for a short time.

Tbe Leaven of Life. Again and again a certain young woman whom I met three or four years ago oh a summer vacation, comes tnto my mind I did not see a great deal oa mm we had few Interests in common. Why, then, should I not completely forget her as one does so many vacation acquaint ances? That la tbe question I aaked tha other day, when I unexpectedly found my self tniamng or aer, with the usual sense of friendliness and liking. I asked it first of myself and then of a friend who also st her. And we shortlr came to this conclusion. She had made so deep an Impression upon us because of her keen and delightful sense of humor. When one uioucht -of her one smiled lust as one did when with her. She saw the amusing side to everythlna: that had one herself included. she was a frivolous little nerson with a very serious minded husband, who was sometimes most impatient at her frivoli ty, one might have sympathised with Mm if she had not so clearly seen the humor of their Incongruity. That same summer, by the way. I met an intelligent serious minded woman with whom I had several Interests In common. Yet until I started to write this I hadn't thought of her for months. So heavy In the balance of friendship and liking weighs a sense of humor! it is scarcely possible to overs timata the value of the right kind of laughter in leavening life. The ability to see the amusing side of things takes the stina out of snnoranoes aa nothing else can. again, a sense or humor supplies act unequaled oil for the machinery of mar- nea lire. "Tne worst quarrel we ever had." a married woman told me. "was broken up by a laugh. You know we both have high tempers and we're pretty obsti nate. Well, once we had gotten tremen dously cross at each other. We were sulky and proud and hurt and would hardly apeak tor days, and I don't know how long It would' have lasted if something funny hadn't happened. Fortunately we both had the same kind of a sense of humor, and we simply couldn't help laughing, and after that it wasn't possi ble to be dignified and sulky again. So we just made It up." Even serious troubles can be leavened and lightened by a sense of humor. I know a woman who has a good deal to worry about, but she Is almost always cheerful. "How do you keep so happy?" some one asked her one day. "You have a great deal to worry you, don't your "Oh yes,' she said, "we've got plenty of things to worry about, but somehow we're not worrying about them very much. We're trying to laugh instead." A sense of humor Is a great gift and one to be ardently cultivated. For he who has it greatly blesses not only him self, but all with whom he cornea into contact. "So you're way down In the dumps

Those Interested in politics are busy analysing the vote at th pri mary with a view to getting informa tion which will be of value in deciding how the general election will go. As a matter of fact there Is very little learned from these returns as the vot ing was of such a hap-hasard, uncon cerned sort that there was little In it which will give an Ides, as to what is to com in the future. Aa a utrman friend of the writer once said: "It is a great country where we get to vote twice, ones for fun and once for busi ness." So there is nothing to amount to anything that can be deduced from the "fun" vote. Russell Reformer. From Other Pens FINANCIAL AMERICA'S TEST. If financial America fails to meet the issue presented by continental war in Europe, it la certain to be Judged with a severity never before witnessed. If It has been pampered and coddled into imbecility, it la time to recognise the fact. If it gains Its wealth and power wholly from favoring laws, the truth must be made known. If the great reputations long held up to us as ex amples of extraordinary commercial gifts have been due only to the misuse of governmental powers, let us pull down our Idols and begin over again.

"It is the only way to live in comfort, and nothing you can do will make people remember you after you ar dead. Take my advice agd do not try." On their way home they met a poor man carrying a bag tn his back. "Let us help him," said the elder sister.

The next morning the -elder sister said: "We will start out again today.

The International Sunday School Le aon for September 13 Is "The Tea Virgins." Matt. 26:1-13. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Amid the crash of empires we are called upon to consider one of the noat dramatic of the farewell admoni tions of Jesus. The pertinency of the present parable is in tha mind of every member of the Sunday school thai uses the International Lessons. So beied, chastened, awed men and women today are ready to study the deeper truths of life; and to lend an attentive ear to hear what the Master of us all has to say concerning ultimate thinRa.. The closing utterances of Jesus had to do with the Kingdom of Heaven that kingdom which has outlasted all empires and still moves forward in its beneficent way through all the shocks to human institutions. Here we face a subject that is vaster than this over whelming war, that is today engross ing the world's thought. Myi-iaaa of Christians are asking themselves whether the present world upheaval portends the consummation foretold by Jesus. All of us are sol emnized by an international catastro phe without parallel in human history. Whatever one's views of the Judgment, it is certain that this war is the end of all things earthly for myriads of men. Small wonder, therefore, that It is a profound spiritual experience for st il larger hosts of the living. The Sufficient Preparation. When we are ready for God, wa are ready for anything. That is the in clusive truth of the great parable f the Wiee and Foolish Virgins. They who go to meet the Bridegroom Jootis and unashamed, fear nothing else; at peace with Him, they are at peace with all the woild. Here tha lesson truth strikes down deep into every mans philosophy of life. There is ab solutely no other satisfaction possible to human nature equal to the surpass ing peace of preparedness for the pres ence of God. Every crisis teaches the supremacy of things spiritual. When the storm of unexampled war broke over Europe, it drove the nations to their knees. Even irreligious France turned to prayer. Kings and councils called their people to supplicate before the throne of Heaven. Inevitably the war has set people to thinking of the God who was before all, and is over all, and will b. after all. When right wita H'm, men are right with all the wot Id. There is no other disaster equal to th disfavor of the Infinite. The Ten Maidens. Because the greatest truths may be mirrored in the humblest happenings, Jesus set forth his wonderful tanning of the last days in the .familiar story of an Orient il wedding, and of the ten maidens who were to help give joyous welcome to the wedding party. Of these ten, five were wise and five were foolish; for only Ave had laid by any store of the oil needed to make tne u,ddn illumination. The parible is one of preparation. There is n :eod I to point out any analogy to present world events; every one muBt do that for himself. The story touches upon our prepa ration for life, as well as our prepa ration for death; it is a truth for ev ery day, as veil as for the last great day; It serves to make character for youth, as well as to afford consolation for age; it makes vivid the Master's oft-repeated exhortation, "Be ye also ready." That is the most practical motto f r the boy or girl starting out in life; and it is the most spiritual counsel for the aged person waiting death's summons. "Too Late, Too Late." Somewhere I have read of a paint ing that i-.erely showed a shut door, that was all; but the artist conveyed to the imagination the impression that that door stood for separation and finality. History is full of tragic regrets of those who have arrived too late at their opportunity. We see even such an empire-builder as Cecil Rhodes crying on his deathbed, "So much to do; so little done!" Queen Elizabeth's shrieks offers a regal bountv for only a minute of time as she stared into the pitiless eyes of death as it drew nigh. Let ua get firmly into out thinking the truth that there comes a day when we must cry, "Too late!" Opportunities pass; oc casions are not abiding. In the affairs of business; in mat ters of pleasures; in the vaster con cerns of the spiritual realm, there surelv aDDroaches an hour when in vltation and opportunity rejected exist no more: the. grace of God la no longer heard knocking at the heart's door; the hour for filling the lamps of service and of happiness has passed. Tennyson repeats the refrain in his "idylls 01 tne mng. 'Late, late, so late! and dark the night, and chill! Late, late, so late! but we can enter still' Too late, too late!- ye cannot enter now. "No light had we; for that we do reDent: And, learning that, the Bridegroom will relent' 'Too late, too late! ye cannot enter now. 'No light! so" late, and dark and chill the night! Oh, let us in, that we may find the light!' Too late, too late! ye cannot enter now. 'Have we not heard tl e Bridegroom is so sweet? -Oh, let us in. though late, to kiss his feet!' Oh, no! too late! ye cannot enter now.' The Things Which Cannot Be Snared The five wise virgins who had to use their own store of oil. even as every one of us is steward of his own gifts, have often been criticised for not sharing what they had with their heedless sisters. There are some things which cannot be shared. In this case it was better for the honor of the wedding party that five lamps should burn brightly throughout, than that ten should shine for but a little while, leaving the feast In untimely darkness. Be it remembered that the whole episode was for the honor of the bridegroom, rather than for the pleas ure of the guests. Preparation is always individual. One cannot lay by any store for many. The mother cannot go to school for the child; the father cannot exercise prudence and Industry and faithful ness for his son; all spiritual exper iences are one by one, each for him self. The great transactions of the soul are enacted in the vast loneliness of the apartness of one soul with its Maker, quite as if no others had ever shared the same experience in the past. The five virgins are not character ised as wicked, but as foolish: un preparedness is folly: it was lack of common wisdom. There was no ex cuse for the careless and reckless course of the five virgins who came to their hour of opportunity unready. One of the severest indictments that the business world makes of the youth of this generation is that It comes in the world's market place unprepared to do the service for which it asks pay. Nations cannot prepare for war while the enemy is hammering at their gates; neither may a people make ready for peace and self-government over night. Only the long look can bring to fruition the full val ue of the preparation time, which is the most important time in all of life. The Point of the Parable. Over and over, by story and by ex hortation Jesus had been stressing the one dominant idea "watch." He wanted his friends to be ready for the Kingdom's coming. The very unex pectedness of the event is an exhorta tion to fidelity. If a man .knew he were to die ten years hence, he might be able to make his peace with God after nine years of living for himself. But because the bridegroom's coming may be tonight or tomorrow, the friends of the bridegroom must watch. This eternal vigilance is the price of opportunity of soul. Only by an atti tude of alertness may the spirit be kept quick and sensitive. Spiritual life Is forever a present experience. It is the watchful who are the wise in things of the spirit. To be ready for Christ is to be prepared for every thing that life may bring. Training for Best living. Terse Comments for September 13, "What Is a Good isaucauonr rrov. 1:1-9, 20-33. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Two men are before my mind's eye. One is a venerable Turk, whom I met In a village under the shadow of the Taurus mountains, in Asia Minor. He was untrained in the schools, but he had ripe judgment, a keen knowledge of human nature, dignity, and rever ence, and he had won the esteem of his community. The quiet, courteous and assured way with which he car ried himself revealed the strong, wise man. I count him educated in the es sentials of manhood, even though a ten-year-old boy in this western world knows more about the sciences than he. The other man at the moment in my memory is seated in an aristocratlp club. He has an honored family name, wealth, social position, and the ad vantage of a university education and much travel. But he Is ignorant of life, Ill-balanced in his Judgments, puerile in his thinking, and as naively selfish as a child or a savage. Him I deem an uneducated man, despite his degree. For education is the training of all of one's faculties to relate them selves sanely and efficiently to actual lire. "Education" means "to lead out," and the higher education is also "to lead up," inspiring man with the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom. We have not learned life until we have learned God. Whatever helps a person to sweep a wider horizon in his vision; and to view life s happenings with poise and detachment, whether that agency be a university or an experience of per sonal adversity, is a good education. The stored mind is strong; mental ity grows, like the body, by being fed. Knowledge is a tested route to wis dom; but meditation is a surer. What digestion is to food, meditation is to knowledge. The end of all education is to teach a person to think clearly, strongly and practically. He that studies only men will get the body of knowledge without the soul and he that studies only books, the soul without the body. He that to what he sees adds observation and to what he reads reflection is in the right road to knowledge, provided that in scrutinizing the hearts of others he neglects not his own. Colton. One regrettable fact about the ad vanced education of many youncr per sons is that they have been alienated from their homes and families and the "old fashioned" ways of the lat ter. The tragedy of this gulf which school and college have created be tween students and their parents is known only to the mothers and fath ers who have endured it. Usually, also, the explanation is that the chil dren have not won to even the be ginnings of wisdom, else they would value the real worth of the parents whose greatness of loyalty and service and sacrifice is beyond the power of the schools to bestow. Any educa tion which makes a boy ashamed of his mother and father is a bad edu cation. Prof. Amos R. Wells calls "the seven colors of the spectrum of edu cation" the training "to think, to ob serve, to speak, to act, to direct, to feel and to be." A gentle heart is more to be de sired than a stored brain. For edu cation is successful in so far as it trains one to live helpfully and hap pily with other people. A shrewd lover of nature, who has Invested his talents In helping boys and in unfolding the lore of woods and stream and buried Indian treas ures, remarked, after attending a re union of his college class, "I was dis appointed to find the fellows all talk ing of their success in terms of mon ey. Most of them thought it was enough to tell how much money they had made; we heard little about what they had done for their neigh borhoods or for the state. Surely a dollar mark is not the truest sign of an educated man." That observation struck the weak spot In much of our modern views of education. Thou sands of young persons are going to college nowadays. not because they want a finer culture, or a wider fel lowship, or admittance Into the charmed circles of the arts and sciences, but simply in order to en able them to earn mor money. If tnat is the first and last goal of an education, then it is not. in the old and broader sense, an education at all. Everybody pities the one-legged man; but few of us give a second thought to that far worse cripple, the man who Has lost his soul. I do not use the phrase in the accustomed the ological sense; I mean the man whose spiitual faculties have been atro phied; who has no taste for beauty or harmony or the refinements of the spirit; and to whom religion is an empty phrase. Such an one has missed the first end of education, which puts the soul above all, and makes life beautiful within. A detail of education too often neglected is knowledge of the English Bible. That is civilization's oldest book. Its characters and phrases should be the most familiar in all lit erature.

She la 40 years old, What shall I aay to her when she. comes up and acts silly? (3) Two of my sister's friends come up often, but they do not care tor her; they come up because there are al ways so many boys here. They are 13 years old. What Hhall we do? (4) How old shall a girl be to put on a corset and hl?h-heeled shoes? BLUE EYES. (1) A rirl is not very grown-up till a'.i is 18. and even then she is not always quite grown up, though she is old enough by then to be called a lady. One cannot be called a lady, however, if one' does not act like a lady. (2) Just don't notice her, and be as sensible as you know bow. That may influence her to be less silly. (3) I don't lust understand this, my dear. If your sister's friends call to see the toys at your place, leave them alone with the boys. 4) Corsets and high-heeled shoes are both out of fashion, so you don't want them at all, -'o you? These things ruin the health, and sensible women C not wear them any more. So, you see, you don't need to put them t n at any age. Keep your figure erect and supple and you will never feel the need of a corset. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a wom an 39 years of age, the mother of sev en children, the oldest 23 and the youngest 8 at the time of parting from my husba-.d. he caring for all the minor children. He pleaded with me to come home to them, but I would not listen to that, so he procured a divorce. Recently I met a young man of 23, whom. I- loved very deeply.-, and we were married. Since our marriage he acts very suspicious of me and uses very harsh language to me.. What shall I do? Did I do wrong in not Koing home to my husband and little ones? Please advise me. BROKEN-HEARTED. Tou did wrong to marry a man so much younger than yourself. Such a marriage never turns out happily.- I am afraid you were unreasonable and headstrong.. Of course. If you could not live with your husband it was bet ter to separate, but I am afraid you imagined that you could not live with him and so the family was broken up. I don't know what you can do now. The young man la probably tired of the marriage and of you. If your con duct is above suspicion he insults you by his attitude, but he cannot divorce you. I'm afraid you will have to just make the best of it, but try and make him respect you, oven If h. can't love you. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) Is It proper for girls from 13 to 18 to go to respectable dances? (2) I enjoy chewing gum, but have heard it was improper. What do you think about it? (3) How may I overcome blushing when speaking to my teachers? (4) Is my writing good for a 13-year-old? "TOMBOY." (1) Respectable dances among your friends, where some older, responsible person is present, are all right. It Is natural for young folks to love danc ing. The only thing I ask 1a that they should dance properly among respec table people in respectable surround ings. (2) It is not a very nice habit, my dear. (3) Try: not .to think of yourself, but of what you wish to say. (4) .Very good. The telephone operator was spend ing the summer holiday by the sound ing sea.

Properties of the Skin. i A text book on physiology would prob ably classify the skin as an organ of spe cial sense, being the principal seat of touch, but It perfornu, much more than en function. The skin Is an important excratory organ, to a lesser degree it is aa absorbing organ, and It serves as a Mutator of bsat mrxA nmtMfvn mmrin. to the tissues lying beneath It. The skin constats of two distinct layers,: the epidermis, sometimes called the cu ticle or scarf skin, and the true skin, the technical name for which is the dermis or oorium. The epidermis contains no blood vessels, and, although It has some nerves, la not very sensitive. It grows toy a continual multiplication of cells and Is In a continual process of shedding. The true skin or dermis lying beneath this Is a very sensitive layer of tissue connected with the fatty tissue which with the exception of a few parts covers the muscles. This connection is some limes loos and movable, as In the neck, and In other places hard and firm, a good exairple of which is the sole of the foot and palm of the hand. The dermis con tains a multitude of sensor nerves and as well countless little ducts which are high ly Important to the beauty specialists, for the working of these little ducts has aa important Influence, on the beauty and health of the skin, and hair. ..They con sist of the sweat glands, the sebaceous glands and the hair follicles that open on the surface. Hair Grows Out From the Skin. The hair is an appendage of the akin growing out of it from little pits that are formed in the deeper part of the dermis and which are called hair follicles. The hair grows from the bottom of this pit. the part of It lying within the follicle be ing called the root and distinguished by a soft white bulb which w sometimes see when a hair Is pulled out of the scalp or has loosened and fallen away. This root Is composed of self-growing cells and the hair grows by the multiply ing of these cells which push up out of the follicle. New hairs are produced in definitely as long as the papilla and a few cells surrounding It remain Intact. The average age of a hair Is from four to six years and a healthy hair grows half an inch a month. Why Hair Curia, The shape and functioning of the hair, follicle is extremely Interesting. These slant obliquely upwards so that the hairs that they contain come out of the skin at a narrow angle. The hair shaft Is gen erally straight but when convolutions oc cur the hair is curly. Curly hair is also found to be fiat on one side, not per-' fectly round as is the normal hair. How Gooseflesh la Produced. Another Interesting feature of the me chanism of the hair follicle Is the action of a little muscle which passes from the surface of the true skin on the side to which the hair slopes to be attached to the bottom of the follicle. This Is called the arretor muscle and when It contracts as It will under the Influence of cold or nervous excitement the hair are sud denly pulled up straight, "stand on end," as it Is sometimes described. This same action pulls up the surface of the skin and produces the roughened condition known as gooseflesh. This sometimes oc curs on parts of the body where there appears to be very little hair, but the action Is the same and the hair follicles and their mechanism are present. In fact there is a fine growth on all parts of tne body, excepting the palms and soles of the feet and tips of the fingers and toes. From this simple and brief explanation of the origin and growth of the hair we ran obtain a good general Idea of what is harmful or the' reverse to its health and well being. The hair as we have said is an appendage of the skin, fed and nourished like the skin from the blood, and. therefore, any break in the well being of the akin, any interruption ;a the health of the blood la reflected in the health of the hair. Don't Dose tha Hair; Treat tha Hair Roots, Understanding that the hair grows from the multiplying of cells Inside the dermis we can understand that we are not going to promote hair health or hair growth by anything put on the hair as It lies on the head. We can of course burn the hair off with curling Irons or chemicals, but time will bring new hairs in place of the destroyed ones, and the same argu ment holds good In the applying of heal ing and stimulating agents. To Improve the hair we must promote the circulation of the blood In that portion of the skin where the hair noes and scalp massage and proper hair tonics are useful agents for doing this. The skin having a certain power of absorption can be benefited by certain oils and stimulants rubbed Into It. and this benefit can be carried on to the hair root, for broadly speaking the skin and the hair are one. To Kill Superfluous Hair. The description in the previous lesson of the hair follicle and its position will explain the interesting subject of elec trolysis In the treatment of superfluous hair. The hair follicles sometimes lie In the lower part of the outer skin, but the hair that springs from these !s very light, often not even visible to the naked eye. As a rule the hair follicle Is situated la the lower part of the dermis and soma authorities state that it is often embedded In the tissue lying beneath the dermis. This being so we can understand how delicately and accurately the electric needle must work In order to reach down to the base of tha follicle and kill the papilla. The hair shaft, lying obliquely In the skin, must be found by the needle and followed until It reaches the root when the current Is applied. This prop erly done absolutely kills the papilla: no life will ever spring again from it. but to remove any considerable growth of hair the process Is long and necessarily ex pensive. It Is attended with some prick Ing. but cannot be described as patnfuL However, it requires such close attention on the part of the operator that the op eration Is rarely continued for more than half aa hour.

Graham Bread Ono tablespoonful lard, one-half cup soft sugar, one-half cup molasses, two cups sour milk, one teaspoonful salt, two teaspoonfuls soda and four cups graham flour. Put to gether in order named and bake one hour moderately. This makes five loaves baked in pound baking por-T cans. Peach Cobbler The peach cobbler is an old and time-honored dish, and It "is unfortunate that it has been so littl known. Here's the recipe: One quart of flour, four tablespoons of baking powder; atx with sweet milk, as you would biscuit dough, and roll thin. Lane a pudding dish or dripping pan about 9x18 inches (for this quantity) with this crust. Sprinkle over with a mixture of three tablespoons of flour and two taolespoons of sugar, then pour in three pints of rresh peaches, or canned peaches may take the place, and sprinkle over them one coffee cup of sugar. Wet the edges with a little flour and water mixed, put on the upper crust, press the edges firmly together. Make two openings in the upper crust by cutting two incisions at right angles an inch in length, each opening about half way between the middle and the end." Bake half an hour in a-quick oven. Breaded Eggs Soak a half-cup of bread cruraos in a large cup of creamy milk, or If you have only the skim milk add to it a tablespoon of melted butter. Let it stand fifteen minutes, beat the mixture smooth with a fork, add to it a hal-teaspoonf ul of cnion juice, -a dash of celery salt and a little white pepper. Stir in four eggs, beaten light; add salt to taste, turn into a pan in which Is a tablespoonful of melted but ter, and ctir until the mixture thickens. Let it brown slightly on the bottom and then turn it on a hot, flat dish with the browned side uppermost. Oatmeal Muffins One cup cooked oat meal, oue and one-half cups flour, four teaspoons baking powder, one-half tea spoon salt, two tablespoons sugar, one half cup sweet milk, one egg, two table spoons melted butter. Mix and sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder, add half of milk, egg well beaten, the remainder of milk, mixed with oatmeal; beat thoroughly, then add butter. Bake In buttered gem pans.

Every one of those delicate, fairy-like sea mosses she knew by name She asked for a plate of water and In It she floated the exquisite rose and lavender and brown and green bits of moss and sea-weed and kelp she had gathered, delicately nicking out with her hatpin every tiny tendril until the whole specimen floated perfectly, showing against the white of the plate every detail of its fairy-like structure.

Plan to Erect It on the Topeka Fair Grounds. CENTER CFJFO INTERESTS State Offices and .County Ex- hlblts in the HalL E. H. Crosby and J. C. Holland Tell of the Idea. A movement has been started in Topeka for the erection of a perma nent fire-proof agricultural hall a state institution on. the fair grounds. The idea is to make this the center of agricultural activities for the state and a display hall to set forth the farm, mineral and industrial products of Kansas; also the headquarters for the state board of agriculture, the State Horticultural society, the academy of science and a place for the holding of big state conventions. J. C. Holland, Topeka architect, has offered his services in preparing plans and specifications for the per manent building, and it is his opinion that Kansas manufacturing and min ing concerns would be glad to donate a large portion of the materials used. thus minimising the cost of construc tion. The plan is to ask the legisla ture for an appropriation for this building. v The idea is not a new one. It was discussed in 1906 when a movement was launched to put on a Kansas semi-centennial exposition in 1911. At that time Mr. Holland, who was a worker in the Commercial club, drew tentative plans for an administration A Suggestion for the Proposed Kansas Agricultural Hall as building, which was to be used as a permanent agricultural hall. Advertise Kansas. E. TI. Crosby was one who took a particular interest in the building. Mr. Crosby saM todajee "Kansas is 'distinctively n agricul tural state. We have astounded the world with our wheat crop this season, and we should, have a state building where permanent displays could be arranged, which would make it inter esting for the traveling public to stop off at Topeka to s'ee at almost a glance the agricultural and mineral resources of the state. Space should be allotted in the building to each one of the 105 coun ties for individual county displays. It would not be a Topeka building, but a state institution representative of every section of the state. The county exhibits should be under the general supervision of the State Agricultural college. I talked with President Henry J. Waters about the plan some time ago, and he was enthusiastic over it. The State university should be, interested, too. This is my dream." J. C. Holland's Ideas. Mr. Holland said: "The building would be a shell, but a fire-proof shell. The hall could be arranged so that big state gatherings could be held, and a seating capacity of fifteen or twenty thousand could be provided. The dis plays would be arranged along the sides of the building and the offices' would be off from the balcony. It' would be a great advertising feature for Kansas if the building could be opened next year, and arrangements were made so the people could stop oft on their way to the exposition at San Francisco. "My suggestion would be to have the building face on Seventeenth street with broad approaches. This would do away with the present agricultural hall. Would Donate Material. "I believe that with proper effort put forth it would be possible to have brick, cement, tile and other materials donated. Several years ago I talked with brick and cement manufacturers pf Iola, Chanute and Independence, and they indicated that they would be milling to donate liberally. "We have much to show in the state, and every portion of the state has a like interest in this proposed exhibit. Every county should have space for a classified exhibit that would be perma nent. My idea would be to call on each county to sentd a representative to meet in Topeka to discuss the plan." The accompanying cut is from a drawing of the front elevation of the building which was designed by Mr. Holland early in 1906. The building was to have been used in the proposed Kan sas semi-centennial exposition as the administration hall, and afterwards as a permanent agricultural headquarters. The Topeka Commercial club will be asked to consider the question of get ting behind the movement for this state agricultural building. The plan has been discussed with several Topeka business men. FALL III WAR PRICES. Several Articles of Food Show Decline From Previous Quotations. New York, Sept. 12. There has been a slight average recession in war time prices of foodstuffs, according to Sol Westf-ield, who heads the trades re lations committee of the Chicago Re tail Grocers' and Butchers' association. Sugar today is a cent higher than a month ago, flour to 19 cents higher, while sirloin steak is unchanged to 3 cents lower:- round steak 3 eents, pork chops 8 cents, yard 1 to S"4 cents and leg of lamb 2 to 4 cents lower IN KORTHJOPEICl Police Unable to Check Epi demic of Bobberies. Hammer Grocery Store Bur glarized Last Night. GOODS VALUED AT $50 STOLEN Many Exhibitors for the Big Fair Next Week. Other News of Interest to Peo pie of North Side. Apparently, the Topeka police force is unable to check the epidemic of robberies which has been sweep ing over North Topeka recently. The Hummer grocery store, southeast cor ner of North Topeka avenue And St. John street, was burglarized late Fri day nfght or early this morning and merchandise to the value of more than 50 t-.ken. The thief, or thieves, entered the store by forcing open a door on the north side of the building. The arti cles ta?. included:- Tobacco, cigars, pies, meat, cakes and milk. The rob bery was not discovered until this morning when' the door was found open by-: S. Hummer, owner of the store. i Located- on the outskirts of North Topeka. the store and residence houses in tha neighborhood have scant protection from, the -police. North Topeka with its population of about 10,000 is prote ed by only two patrolmen. One policeman is expect ed to cover the beat north of Norris street to. the city limits.' The police of course are investigat ing the robbery and claim to have 'a clue that may lead to an arrest. North Topeka believes she should have better protection. Kxbibits at Fair. J. C. Ha 'ngs, a prominent Grant ville farmer, will have one of the larg est lines of agricultural exhibits at the state fair shown from; the northern part of Shawnee county.

The Washburn college people, who have been away this summer,1 are re turning this week. Professor and Mrs. Todd, who spent the summer in Mo raine Park, Colo., have returned.. They stopped en route in St. Marys, 'Kan., to be guests at the wedding of Mrs. Todd's brother, Mr. Martin. Miss Jessie Dean, the college li brarian, has returned from Carman, Ok., where she visited her sister this t summer. Dr. Irene Nye is expected to arrive Monday. She spent a part of the summer at the lakes in Michigan, and later went to Baltimore and other eastern cities. Mrs. W. F. Leavitt and her daughter, Miss Charlotte Leavitt. arrived today, after spending the sum mer at Wequetonsing, Mich. Dean and Mrs. D. L. McEachron re turned some time ago after a vacation pent with ?-elatives in Iowa. The new professor of chemistry, Mr. B. E. Beukelaer, has arrived to take up his new work. He comes to Topeka from Columbia university. Dean Horace Whitehouse, at the head of the fine arts department, came to Topeka today. He spent a part of his vacation with his people In Ohio. Mme. Lunde Souther and Miss Helen Hogeboom, who were in California this summer, have returned also. Miss Phoebe Gaylord of East Hamilton, N. T., who will be connected with the school, will arrive in Topeka Wednes day. A charming party of the early autumn season was given Friday after noon by Mrs. A. W. Bronson, at her home in Harrison street. The affair was a bridge-luncheon, and there were guests for seven tables. The decora tions were red roses, and the ices were adorned with candy moulded in the form of American beauties. The fa vors were large American Beauty roses, and 5n the center of each was a tiny box of bon bons. The little boxes had rr-iniature wreaths across the top, studded with small red roses. The guest of honor was Mrs. D. J. Hathaway, lately returned from a trip around the world. Mrs. Hathaway wore a handsome shadow lace gown, with a wide Persian sash, draped low and tied at one side. Mrs. Branson's gown was of black taffeta worn with a handsome Imported blouse. If the horse show next week in spires as much attendance as it has conversation, it ia pretty sure to be a success so far, at least, as numbers are concerned. Society is looking forward to it as an affair of some brilliance and the beginning of gayety in the social world. Naturally, the question of dress is one of a good deal of concern, especially to those who will occupy boxes. For tunately, there is a wide latitude of choice in correct costuming for the occasion. The fact that it is to be an open-air rather than an indoor affair, and at this time of year, too, will n. nl.n nraxina nw.M.rv A I'f ir fl i n irt V tailored suits will probably be worn by many. A regular evening gown and evening wrap are quite in order, and dress hats will certainly be worn by practically all the women. A Topeka woman who saw the horse show in New York in Madison Square Garden says that many strik ingly handsome costumes were worn mere oy tne occupants 01 tne Doxes. There were a lot of handsome tailored costumes (for New York just now is extremely partial to tailored outfits), but that a good many of the women appeared in elaborate evening gowns. Mrs. Guggenheim, for one, wore an evening dress with a wrap of emerald green. The hats, she said, were no ticeably beautiful. There were white hats and, the weather being cool, many white furs. There were Paradise hats, and all the chapeaux, in fact, ap peared to receive the special attention of the well-dressed. Some of the women in evening gowns were with out hats, but that practice, according to some late authorities, is going out of fashion. Nearly all of the men wore full evening dress, though a sur prisingly large number wore their business suits. The men, it seems, always exercise more independence about their clothes than women do; so no man would be very much stared at if he chose to wear his blue serge, his plaid tie and his last year's derby.

The first artist on the series will be Madame Johanna Gadski. the great dramatic soprano, who will give her concert October 23. Madame Gerville Reasche will sing November 13. Efrem Zimbalist, the celebrated violinist, nad Josef Lhevinne, one of the greatest pianists of the day, have both been excused from military -service, and will appear in Topeka this year, Zim balist on November 27 and Lhevinne January 15. The fifth artist of the course is a Kansas girt who has made good in the world of music, Miss Louise Llewellyn, whose date for her Topeka concert is February 12. Miss Llewel lyn is the daughter of former Gover nor Llewellyn, and she has lived in Topeka. where she still has friends. Her successes have been brilliant and her program will consist chiefly of folk songs in costume. A concert will be given March 5 by Mr. Cecil Fanning, American baritone, and the series will close with a recital by Mme. Schumann-Heink, April 16. Miss Radcliffe has the assurance of the difference managers that the art ists announced will fulfill their con tracts in spite of the European diffi culties. Gadski landed Sept. 8, and all the artists of the series are in America at this time, go that no trou bles in the Fatherland need to inter fere with the plans of local music lov ers this season. Mrs. Harry Tasker will give a pu pils' recital Saturc'ny afternoon of next week at three o'clock at Central Congregational church in the Bowman room. The following lines by Margaret Mason give the key for the dominant note in fashions for the season: "The autumn maid is military mad. Her autumn clothes are military made; In frogs and buttons she'll be fiercely clad, And yards and yards of shiny gold en braid. She'll lay dire siege to every fellow's heart. Till he surrenders to her dashing charms; -And then a captive to her warlike art. At her command he'll gladly 'Pre sent Arms.' Fashionable women, it seems, are adapting to their own sartorial uses the best points of the uniforms of the warring nations, and with strict neu trality she will wear a Uhlan's cape over a Russian tunic, or a Cossack's coat of Prussian blue. Coat dresses, fastening with ornamental frogs of black silk braid, are smart and almost invariably show the new military col lar. Many of the long-skirted Cos sack coats or Redlngote suits have two rows of brass buttons down the front and are girdled in with belts like those Tommy Atkins wears. The dashing military capes are stunning when they are blue with a scarlet lining, v:th a glint of brass buttons such as the U. S. A. soldiers wear. The penchant for gold braid, how ever, can: ot be blamed entirely on the war along with the high cost of living, for it takes the form of crav ing for all sorts of metalized trim mings and embroideries worn on street costumes as well as on even ing dresses. Evening gowns, by the way, are mere wisps Of net or lace and chiffon picked out with gold and sib ver threads, a spangle or two, or a crushed velvet girdle to lend them stability.

A Toreka young man. sitting idly at his home one day, languidly took up a telephone book and glanced through its contents. He was look ing for some one to call up.' He came upon the name of a big firm with a private branch exchange. He reflect ed that a house with its own system of phones would naturally have a wo man operator: He called the number and engaged the operator in conversa tion. Every day thereafter he called her on the line without knowing her name. Being a reckless Jayhnwker, he invited her to go to the theater with him. She constented. and the you:g man found that she was as be witching as the heroine of such wild adventures ought to be. Rumors are afloat among the young man's friends that the flirtation has taken a serious turn and that the romantic value of the telephone is once more estab lished. A party of young people, chaperoned by Mrs. Henry Shuler and Mrs. w. Loucks, had a camping party this week near the waterworks. The mem bers of the party were: Miss Mildred Davidson. Miss Genevieve Wise. Miss Eleose Sargent, Miss Lena Baxter, Miss Mary Shuler, Miss Dorothy Shu- ler, Harold Alden, Arthur Beatty, Sco ville Davidson, Chalmer Hargis and Harold Loucks.

Will Risrby. Topeka's postmaster. has exhibited a degree of originality unparalleled in the history of post masters here or elsewhere. He has figured out that lock boxes, hitherto assigned by the general public either to those who had rather get their mail under a number than in their own name ,or to people living in the conn try distrustful of rural carriers, may be made genuinely useful to business men. And he has established this use fulness by distributing mail at hours not hitherto ohserved. Through To peka lock boxes business houses may now get their mail hours sooner even than they can by city delivery. Today being the one hundredth an niversary of the composing of Francis Scott Key's song "The Star Spangled Banner," which has become the offi cially adopted national air for army and navy, the event is being observed throughout the United States.
