Not one of the administra tion pledges has been redeemed and less than a half dozen "bills of more than local importance have been passed.

Of the 599 bills that have been reported from the committees, 201 have been killed a batting aver age of .330. Senate committees were merciful to all but 190 of the 596 bills on which action was taken. The total number of bills considered by com mittees in the house and senate has been a standoff. The result, however, is that the house committees are still flooded, while the senate has most of its original material on the calendar ready for consideration. House com fCoiiitnued r Pag Two.) WATER JUT OFF Mexico City's Source of Supply Destroyed by Zapata. Food Famine Critical and Car ranza May Have to Leave. Washington, Fob. 1 3. Zapata forces have destroyea the water works in Mexico City, the food fam ine has become more critical, and in dications are that Carranza forces may soon evacuate, ofncial advices to the administration say today. Officials here are much concerned over the reports which have been coming for the last three days. With lack of food and unrest in the popu lation and the fact that Mexico City is of no great strategic importance, diplomats in Mexico City fear the place may be left without semblance of authority at any moment. Advices to the state department from Piedras Negras report that on Thursday Villa troops evacuated Mon clova and moved south, the Carranza forces under General Luis Gutierrez occupying the town without resist ance. The Spanish minister, who was expelled from Mexico City by General Carranza. went aboard the battleship Delaware as a guest of Captain Rog ers but will sail for Havana February 16 on a Spanish -liner. TO HIDE IX SUBWAYS. London. Feb. 13. Plans have been completed to permit London's vast floating population to find shelter in the underground railway tubes in the event of hostile attack. The city has hundreds of miles of subways, affording an ideal place of safety from bomb or shell fire. The availability of the subways was first called to the attention of the authorities some weeks ago by an interprising citizen. Since that time detailed arrangements have been made for the regulation of traffic if a raid comes. Special telephones have been installed throughout the system; all em ployees have been instructed Just how to act, 1 and everything has been organized to prevent panic Women and children will receive preference, but all those who seek shelter may do so without purchas ing a ticket. In case of a prolonged attack it is suggested that subway traffic be suspended entirely and the system converted into a stronghold su perior to the forta in feudal times. DIVIDE STATE lOTO THIRTY HEALTH DISTRICTS IS FLAH Representative BardweU Would Abol ish County Officials. DEVOTE ENTIRE TIME TO IT Man Over Each District Under State Board of Health. Report to District Organization of City and County Officers. County health officers will be abol ished and the state divided into thirty health districts, if a biU introduced in the house today by Representative BardweU of Riley county becomes a Jf w, The bill divides the state into neaitn districts in proportion to their population. Health officers, appoint ed by an official board, would be compelled to devote their entire time to the work and wrtulH i u i v. v i a. mj- ary of $2,000 a year. tne present law provides for the appointment of county health officers by the boards of county commission ers. No definite salary is fixed by statute and the work is let by compet itive bid. BardweU believes the pres ent plan is ancient and ineffective. His plan of revolutionizing the health work of the state has the endorse ment of many widely known physi cians and was recently advocated by Governor Hodgcj. The plan is also in strong favor with the state board of hep 1th. Under the BardweU bill, the state would be divided into thirty sanitary districts, based on population and as sessed valuations. In each district would be created a district board of health. This board would be composed of members of the city council or city commissioners and members of the board of county commissioners. By vote of members of the board of health, a district health officer would be elected. He would be compelled to devote his entire attention to ad vancement of health conditions in the district and would receive for his ser vices an annual salary of $2,000 a year. The work of the health officer would be under the direction and supervision of the district health board, with general supervision of the districts by the state board of health: WARSAW OR OUST The Kaiser Orders Desperate Dash on Polish Capital. He Needs It to Obtain Another War Loan. ''tMtroainT "Feb" X trerlftA yices received here declare thaC'the kaiser, now on the eastern battle front, has appealed to Field Marshal Von Hindenberg to order a- desperate dash for Warsaw next week and to sacrifice everything to capture the Polish capital. The reason assigned is declared to be his desire to have the Reichstag vote the proposed new war loan of one and one-quarter billion dollars without opposition. The radical ele ment of the Reichstag is declared to be becoming restive under the present conditions and it is believed by the kaiser and his advisers that only a sweeping victory will prevent their voicing their protest on the floor of the relchstag. BERLIN JS. HAPPY Big Victory Over the Russians Is Being Celebrated. Hags Are Flying and Schools Are Having Holiday. Berlin. Feb. 13. The newspapers hail the victory in East Prussia par ticularly as removing further danger of an invasion of that province. They point to the Russian report of the battle as an indication of the com pleteness of the defeat as it admits that the Russians are falling back to the protection of their chain of for tresses. The victory is especially prized be cause of the frustration of the plans for a strong offensive which the Rus- i sians are believed to have been pre paring in this region. The capture of 26,000 prisoners, re ported in the German official com munication. means that practically an entire army corps nas been put out of the fighting. The fact that num ber of guns captured is comparatively sail is commented upon in some quar ters as indicating the Russians, who are said already to have lost a third of their artillery through capture, are now insufficiently equipped in this arm of the service. The Lokal Anzeiger's military con tributor says, in commenting on the results in East Prussia: "We believe that the Russian gen eral staff is not far astray when It assumes that our troops in East Prus sia have been reinforced." j The press1 expresses hopes for fur j ther good news from the battle still proceeding in some parts of the east j ern line. The children in the schools were I given a holiday today and flags are I flying all over the city in honor of tne victory. I MILLION MYSTERY.

The petitions filed with the city clerk a week ago have been checked over and found to have only a few more than half the re quired number of valid signatures. To be valid the petitions must bear the signatures of 4,244 registered voters, but out of the more, than 6.000 names on the petitions only 2.290 were found to be legal. After the finding of the city clerk has been officially reported, ten days will be allowed for those circulating the petitions to secure the required number. Nearly two tnousana more names are needed. The 2,249 signatures of qualified electors are distributed through tne wards of the city as follows: First ward, 612. Second ward, 638. Third ward, 254. Fourth ward, 255. Fifth ward, 450. Sixth ward, 140. Approximately two-thirds of the names on the petitions were of persons not registered. How the persons cir culating the petitions were able to find nearly 4,000 unregistered persons with the registration books showing 16.978 persons registered, seems re markable. This is partially explained by the fact that the workers were paid on the basis of the number of names secured. An illustration of the seal to secure names is given in the discovery that fictitious names were written on many of the petitions and addresses given by street number, which if such numbers existed, would be located in city parks. One vacant lot was given as the place of residence of eight persons. U. S. COULD DO IT Villa Says We Should Stop War in Mexico. Recognize Convention Is Idea of Rebel Leader. Kl Paso, Texas, Feb. 13. General Francisco Villa, In an interview given at Irapuato, Guanjato, declared that the Mexican war would be brought to a close speedily if the United States would withdraw moral support from all factions except the convention wing;. Even an effective embargo on arms and ammunition would not stop the war. he Insisted. "I will never agree to the election of Carranza as president," he said, "because it would be impossible to be named in a free and legal election. His election would be accomplished only through fraud, and consequently we would object to it by arms. "The duties and circumstances that obliged me to take tne responsibility for the presidency temporarily will no longer be binding on me as soon as we are in communication with the convention. I will not hold any po litical office even if the convention thinks it proper and so requests me." Caarht In a Flywheel.',' Pittsburg. Feb. 13.

FOR COUNTY FAIRS Senator Davis Would Have Re volving Fund of $25,000. Promote Exhibitions Through out the State. A new bill, proposing a general policy of encouragement of county fairs by the state of Kansas through the establishment of a revolving fund of $25,000 under the administration of a Kansas fair board, has been intro duced by Senator J.' W. Davis of Bour bon. This board would comprise the secretary of the state board of agricul ture, the secretary of the state horti- j. Jtw. v jk Z V Cultural society anC the president of the state agricultural college with one member named by the governor who would be a farmer by occupation, to administer, the fund. Any. county fair association which had. for two years successfully con ducted a local fair would be eligible to the enjoyment of a part of the re volving fund upon agreement to the rules for its government laid down by the state board. It would have to comply in all respects with the regulations for' the management of the fair which the board saw fit to establish and would enter into a contract to return to the state fund the money drawn upon it from Its own receipts from admissions or other sources after each annual fair had closed. SAIL FROn LONDON Big Ships for New York Dare German Submarines. Danger of Mines and Torpedoes a Constant Fear. London, Feb. 13. Probably not since the early days of ocean travel has such nation-wide interest been displayed in marine matters as that which marked today's sailings from Liverpool. Scheduled to sail today are the Lusltania and the St. Paul for New York. A number of smaller craft were sailing for other destinations. While there was no reason to believe these vessels would be interfered with, Eng land generally realized that there was always present the danger of a Ger man mine or torpedo. The Lusitania and St. Paul had their cabins filled. Many Americans, who have remained here through mo tives of curiosity started home, fear ing that if real submarine operations were attempted by Germany, sailings might be indefinitely postponed. Most of them were also extremely confident that the Lusitania would not be interfered with on her present voy age, although it is expected the Ger mans will make a real attempt to get her if she returns on schedule. The fact that the new cargo steam er Torquay was docked at Scar borough after being torpedoed eight miles off Scarborough Head yesterday and badly damaged and that the steamers Oriole and London Trader are missing and probably sunk, has added to the apprehension. The Oriole sailed from here January 28 for Havre with a cargo of twenty-one men- and the London Trader a day or two later. The vessels have not been reported since sailing and are sup Dosed to have sunk with all hands. either from striking mines or by Ger man torpedoes. Although admiralty officials were silent on the subject that was a gen eral belief that the vessels had been sunk. Father DowUng Dies.- -Kansas City. Mo.. Feb. 13. Rev. Father Martin P.

GERlIANY gives US AWARNING Germany Feels That Her Re sponsibility Has Ended If Ships Are Blown Up It's Our Own Fault. ATTENTO TO FDOTEST Washington's Note on' Subject Will Have No Effect. Mines. Cannot Look Out for the Neutral Vessels. Berlin, Feb. 13. Disappointment that neutral powers have not asked specific guaranty from England that FRENCH CARD GAME she desist frp mi the misuse f -neutral flags,: is expressed by the Krenz Zeitung .-which says such guarantees are improbable, now since "the most powerful" neutral has not even-proi tested decidedly. The paper asserts that sales of arms and ammunition ."not to mention ampler support of our enemies now tolerated" "cannot be reconciled with President Wilson's objectional inter pretation of true neutrality at the be ginning of the war. The Kreuz Zeitung declares that al though Great i Britain's reply to the protest of the United States's com plaint concerning the detention of merchant ships was almost wholly negative, it was accepted, quietly in America as is the present misuse of the flag. The paper then asks: Is it any wonder that England now shows the slightest consideration for the United States as illustrated by the seizure of the Wilhelmina. Let no body say America proves its neutrality by accepting Germany's declaration of submarine warfare in the same spirit as England's abuse of neutral flags." The text of the American note has not yet been made known to the Ger man press and the comment has been based entirely on news agency dis patches from Washington giving a brief synopsis of the communication. The Koelnische Zeitung has repub lished prominently from the Tages Zeitung an article by Count Von Rev entlow. the naval critic concerninar Germany's declaration of a marine t war zone around the British isles. In this article Count Von Reventlow re fers to the report that the Washlng- fCoptlnuea on Pas Two. DODGE EXTRA FARE House Bill to Combat Railroads on 22 Cent Action. Must Build Depots Within 300 Feet of State Line. Representative Carter of Doniphan county would provide for the dodg ing of extra interstate passenger fares by compelling all passenger trains to stop in Kansas within 200 feet from the state line that passengers may alight or board trains. The bill which Carter has introduced in the house would vest In the public utilities com mission the power to compel the build ing of platforms by all railroads with in 200 feet of the state line that pas sengers might leave trains and escape payment of extra interstate fares. The new railway passenger rates, ef fective In March, provide for a two and one-half cent fare for interstate trips. The present passenger rate in Kansas is two cents a mile. For trips to Kansas City from extreme western Kansas points, the Increase in pas senger fares will amount to several dollars for tire round trip. Carter's bill will enable travelers to go to Kansas City on the old fare. "Passage of the bill will affect trav elers destined not only to Kansas City, but to St. Joe and other points," said Carter today. "It will mean a big sav ing to the traveling public and I be lieve it is a .just measure. There is no real reason why a man from west ern Kansas should be compelled to pay a half cent a mile for the entire trip when in reality he travels but a few hundred feet or even a few miles into another state."

SLIPPED HIS HANDCUFFS Took Five Men to Place Him Back in His Cell. Taken to State Hospital for Insane by Sheriff Today. Oscar Peterson, a local wrestler, who. was committed to the state hos pital Friday by Hugh MacFarland, probate judge, caused county officials more trouble last night when he made a frenzied attempt to escape from the county Jail. According to eyewitnesses of the at tempted escape of the insane miU, Peterson "waded through" Joe Quenie, night jailer, and two other men in the jail office when the door of his cell was opened to feed the prisoner. Pet erson attempted to get out of the door of the jail office but failed, and made a wild dash to the basement of the building. Five men were necessary to bring him back to his cell. The door of Peterson's cell was opened after he had requested that he might have food. In his dash for lib erty the insane man In some manner pulled his hands from his handcuffs and it was after a strenuous struggle that the five men captured and sub dued him. It was expected that Peterson would be taken to the hospital Friday even ing where he would receive treatment but his commitment was delayed un til the morning owinr to the failure of his relatives to furnish clothes for him, according to county officials. Be cause the patient did not have the proper list of clothing the board of control refused to receive him. County officials say that Peterson's relatives also refused to sign the bond for the patient's support at the institution. The patient was taken to the hos pital today at noon by U L Kiene, sheriff, and several deputies. While confined in the county jail Peterson wrecked the padded ceil in which he was confined. His muscles are as hard as iron and at times several men were necessary to handle him. SPEAKS RIGHT OUT Rep. Rawlins Says Honse Pro eednre Is Foolish. Blanies Leaders f or .Laws,.

Hendricks is thor oughly disgusted.' he says, with the failure of the house to take care of its procedure. "I believe that the majority of the laws we are attempting to enact would not stand the test if they are tested, because of more or less foolish mis takes in nrocedure." he said. "I be- lieve there are four men to blame for the trouble, and I have no hesitancy in speaking out. The blame lies with the speaker, the speaker pro tern, the majority and minority floor leaders."

CHUCKLE OVER AMERICAN COTE British Newspapers Express Delight Regarding Situation Brought About by Uncle Sam's Warning to Germany. ALL Will EE Sr.::3TKED TJT No Difficulty Is Anticipated lm the Flag Matter. British GoYernment's Reply Expected To Be Satisfactory. London, Feb. 13. That the British government will have no difficulty in giving a satisfactory reply to the American note, on the use of the 4 American flag by British merchant men is the contention of afternoon papers in London. The papers vir tually unite in expressing the opinion that a neutral flag will be used by British vessels only as an Intimation to German rarships there are neutral passengers and goods aboard. The Pall Mall Gazette attaches "im mense significance" to the phrase in the American note to Germany "or cause the death of American citizens' as meaning that Americans aboard British ships will be equally protected by the home government as those on board American ships. The Evenina- Standard, haaln it a judgment on the tenor of the Ameri can notes says: "It is plain in which direction Amer ica looks for the possibility of trouble. it uermany aoes not now understand the meaning of the note and realise the false position into which she ha been led by the arrogance of the offi cial minds in Berlin, she must abide py the issue.-' FOR K. U. DUILDICG Bonds on Kaw Valley Land for 9100,000 Structure. Senator Wllsoji Would Erect 'Medical Institution. Bonds ""based .on the 1400 acres of Kaw bolero iwnttV4a the-bequest wA--by Governor Charles Robinson to the Kansas university, are proposed to be issued for the erection of a $100,000 building for the medical and public, health departments of that institution at Lawrence, in a bill Introduced to day by Senator B. B. Wilson of Jef ferson county. At the end of 25 years, believes Wil son, the state would have its building paid for from the present income of the land, and it would still have the land, which lies north of the city of Lawrence in the fertile valley of the Kansas river. It now brings an an nual income of $7,000 from alfalfa. which money is devoted to the general purposes of the university endowment fund. The land was part of the pri vate estate of the pioneer Kansas gov ernor who first picked the summit of Mount Oread at Lawrence an the proper site for the state's principal seat of liberal education. Robinson acquired the rich valley land in the earlv days of statehood with a vision of its future increase of valuation, and when he died he left it to be turned over to the state sfter his wife's life interest had expired with her. It is recited in a preamble of the Wilson bill that Governor Robinson desired that the land be used for the endowment of a medical school. He was a physician by profession, him self. The terms of the bequest, how ever, gave the ground for the general endowment fund and its income has been so disposed. Wilson proposes the creation of a special fund to be created from the income from the land as an Interest and sinking fund to cover the expense of an issue of 3 H per cent state bonds. Th probable further increase of the Robinson land through the construc tion of interurban railways between Topeka and Kansas City, Wilson pre dicts, will he a more than liberal security for the bond Issue.

The question of aiding financially the unmarried wives of soldiers was taken up and decided favorably by a vote of three to one at a general meeting of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Fami lies' association held here. This form of illicit union is encouraged indirectly by army regulations against marrying, and there are 1,350 such cases out of the 75,000 families enrolled in the books of the society. .Aid is to be given, however, only where a real home Is maintained by the woman. To help these unfortunates is not in view of the majority of the committee members of the licensing of vice, as asserted by the minority. Speaking on the measure, Lord St. Audries said: "As an old soldier, I deny the gross insult that soldiers are more immoral than men of the "same class in other walks of life. If the soldier has not gone through the form of marriage, it Is the fault Af the people of this country, who for a hundred years have discouraged soldiers from marrying while serv ing because the separation allow ance would come out of the tax payers pockets. I do not care whether the council is technically right or wrong, but I believe that in the judgment of the great ma jority of the people of this country they have acted la accordance With the dictates of Christianity and humanity." vi-

Will (rail CHANGES HIS IZD Had Decided to Place Club In Colorado Springs. But Telegram From Catlin Made This Unnecessary. Topeka officially came back Into the Western baseball league this morning when N. L. O'Neill, president of the league, ruled that the team and franchise should remain here, after having previously ruled that they hould be transferred to Colorado Springs. Local business men who are inter ested in, the club, knew none of the details this morning, other than that the team would stay here and would be in charge of John Savage of Kan as City. Just what the conditions of the transfer were, is not known, but it is generally supposed that he will be the aole owner and that both the old di rectors and the German-American bank will be entirely out of it. The following are the details received from Chicago today: Fa-ts From Chicago. Chicago. Feb. 13. After announc ing that Topeka had lost its franchise In the Western league and that the club would be placed in Colorado Springs. President O'Neill after an all right session with club owners of the league, reversed his action early today declaring that the club would remain In Topeka. Th change in plans, it was an nounced, came as a result of direc tors of the club at Topeka agreeing to transfer the sale rights of the fran chise to John A. Savage, secretary of the Kansas City American Association club. Arch M. Catlin. acting for the To peka directors, held a long distance conference with President O'Neill at 2 o'clock this morning and agreed to the proposals of the league club own ers and an hour later a telegram authorizing the sale was in President O'Neill's hands. Savage in Control. The club will be operated under the management of Savage, who said he had abandoned the idea of transfer ring it to Colorado Springs, although commercial organizations of the latter city had made flattering inducements to have the club established there. After getting a few hours' sleep the club owners of the league, who have been in session here for seven days attempting to adjust the Topeka ques tion, plunged Into the work of draft ing a schedule for the coming season. They hoped to finish their work today. The adoption of a schedule, it was said, might be deferred until April 1 as some of the club owners suggested that it would be advisable to wait for a decision in the anti-trust suit of the Federal league against organized baseball In the Tjnited States district court here. i CUT HOSPITAL FUND. Senate Defeats Proposition 1811(1 Neiir Topeka. to Buy The state senate Friday refused to purchase a tract of $500-an-acre Shawnee county land which Is on the assessments rolls at $195 an acre, in elusive of Improvements, to use as cow pasture for the state hospital for the insane at Topeka. The valuable land which has been treated so kindly on tho Shawnee county tax-rolls is an 80 -acre piece adjoining the state hospital grounds and is known as the Sutherin tract. The appropriation bill for the hospital included an item of $40,000, at which figure an option had been obtained on the ground by the board at control and the ways and means committee, Senators Troutman, Carney,' Carey and Joseph fought valiantly for the appropriation, introducing evidence to establish its value, but the senate never got around the assertions by Harry McMillan of Ottawa county that the ground In question was thin Rolled upland which would require careful management to make it pay dividends on an original investment of $65. Harry Gray of Russell backed up McMillan's contention. It was pointed nut that the state already has 410 acres at the Topeka hospital. Debate on the measure waxed so warm. Sen ator Troutman- having made a con vincing showing that land situated lust west of the asylum grounds is held at a value of $500 and is paying returns on that investment with dairy stock, that a time limit was set on diS' cussion. Senator A. B. Carney of Cloud coun ty, arguing for the appropriation fin ally got the floor and held it for the last quarter hour of debate, giving the senate tho most glittering display of elocutionary pyrotechnics of the ses ion. Lacking any defense from the ways no. means committee the 940,000 land Item was whittled out of the bill. G0:.f.E HOME, THEY SAY Senator Williams' Constituents Say Legislature Is a Freak Body.

HEARLYJ ROUT Russian Offensive in East Prus sia Completely Crushed. Czar's Troops Are Expelled From German Territory. VICTIMS OF SUPERB STRATEGY Were Allowed to Advance Un hindered to Proper Point Then Von Hlndenberg Hit Them on Front and Flank. (By Karl H. von Wiegand.) Berlin, via Wireless, Feb. 13. Again all Germany rejoices; and once more it is "the old man of the lakes" who has aroused the national spirit. As the news continues to arrive from the East Prussian front, it becomes more and more apparent that the Russians have had their entire of fensive completely crushed. They have been expelled from German ter ritory and their retreat is described by officials who are cognizant of the situation, as "dangerously near a rout." While the Germans are nursuine their late antagonists, who were con fident a week ago that they held all of East Prussia In their grasp, only the meager details of the victory have been made public. But the eeneral staffs report places the number of prisoners at not less than 30,000, with many guns and machine guns and enormous quantities of war materials. In addition. It is declared the Russians had many of their crack first lino forces, including the Siberian rifle corps, badly cut up. The Russians have once again prov en victims to General Von Hinden berg's superb strategy. No attempt was made to halt their swift advance and the German forces continued to fall back before them. Then when conditions were favorable, the Ger mans struck from the front and both flanks and forced a retreat so pre cipitate that many of the Russians were compelled to abandon all of their supplies. That the defeat was not a rout was due entirely to the new feature of war fare air scouting. The Russian avia tors discovered the manner in which the German commander was dispos ing his forces, and in order to avoid possible annihilation the Immediate thdrawal of the czar's troops from German territory was ordered. The fighting continues under the eyes of the kaiser and the Germans are following up their advantage. THE WEEK'S MARKETS All Stocks Go Vp the-Latter Part of Week. New Tork, Feb. 13. Yesterday's holiday gave pause to a general rise in stocks, which had its inception al most at- the outset of the week s op erations and gathered greater mo mentum towards the close of Thurs day's session. Many developments of an encour aging character contributed to the advance, foremost among these being the maintenance of the dividends on Capadian Pacific, Southern Pacifio and American Sugar, concerning which there had been some apprehen sion. To these were added the very ex cellent statement of unfilled tonnage of the United States Steel corporation for January, showing an increase in excess of all estimates, and the marked increase of production at leading steel centers. Prices of fin ished material in this industry were advanced, with indications of further upward revision. That the copper in dustry is improving seems to be borne out in the voluntary advance of min ers' wages in the Michigan district and the restoration of dividends by one of the conservative companies op erating in that region. There were other favorable factors, including the abnormally low rates of exchange on London, which in duced the return of some of our gold from Canada, with prospects of a fur ther inflow. Exports of foodstuffs and other commodities continue in unprecedented volume, suggesting a record-breaking total for the current month. Railroad earnings leave much to be desired, but make fair comparison with the latter months of 1914. De ferment of dividend action on South ern Railway Preferred resulted from an unsatisfactory traffic return. DO IT AT ONCE. House Committee Would Chloroform Irrigation Board Immediately. Members of the house irrigation committee not only favor the passage of the Pettyjohn bill to abolish the irrigation board, but they go even further than the Ford county man and propose to chloroform the board at once. Pettyjohn's bill provides that the board should die July 1. The ir rigation board amended the bill to provide for immediate execution. Provision is made by the irrigation committee that the western Kansas ir rigation project shall be abandoned as soon as possible and that the re mainder of the $125,000 for irrigation purposes shall revert to Jhe state treasury.- Until the work of disposing of the Irrigation experiments is com pleted the work would be under su pervision of the state agricultural col college. INHERITANCE TAX BILL House Committee Exempts $20,000 Widows and $10,000 Other Heirs. The house committee on assessment and taxation has reported a new in heritance tax bill, providing an ex emption of $20,000 for widows and $10,000 for other direct heirs. An in heritance tax measure in the senate provides exemptions of $10,000 for widows and $5,000 for other direct descendants. Two years ago the Democrats nailed down a platform promise by repealing the inheritance tax law in its en t tret v. Thereby they cut off some $250,000 in revenue each year. In the fight to re duce taxes this year, the administra tion wants the tax law returned to the statute books.. The bill may come up for consideration next week. SEND UPMORE MEN Germans Have Renewed the Battle In Argonne Region. Trying to Win a Foothold In the French Trenches. Paris. Feb. 13. Severe fighting continues in the Argonne region where the Germans have been again rein- iorcea. Along the line between Fon taine Madame and Marie Therese, the Germans are today continuing their violent assaults in an endeavor to gain a foothold in the French trenches some of which they have demolished with dynamite. They are being re pulsed, however, by French artillery and rapid firers. The German losses in this district, the war office Bays, are very heavy. There has been a renewal of the bombardment of the German position along the heights of the Meuse and in the St. Mihiel region, the French have made slight gains in the heavily wood ed section to the west of the German position. In the vosges, slow but sure gains are being made under the most des perate conditions. It continues to snow heavily and conditions are des cribed as "very blizzardy." but the French infantry Is steadily -pushing tneir line forward, toward -the main highways that run north and south. The German activity at La Baasee has been checked for- the time being, but because of the enormous numbers of troops they are massing here, it is thought that the. -enemy is- merely holding his advance line until his artil lery can- be brought up. Bombardment of Soissons continues at leng range but the Germans aban doned. for-- the present at least, &M attempts to force passage to the Aisne. In the north from Arras to the sea, artillery duels continue and nearly every building along the line of con fllct has been demolished owing to the intensity of the shell fire. IN THIRTY-THREE DAYS tContlnned from Page One.j mittces still have on their dockets 344 bills for consideration and more will be added before the lower branch of the legislature formally stops intro duction of bills February 20. Very few house bills have been considered in the-senate and the house has devoted most of its time to con sideration of original bills and resolu tions. The result" means, no doubt. that in the rush of the closing days of the session, many bills will die on the calendars. To consider all bills, the legislature will prolong their session to 65 or 70 days. And there is but lit tle desire on the part of members of either the house or senate to remain long in Topeka after pay stops. Trouble to Administration. Failure to put through party meas ures .is the real source of trouble to the administration. Not only has the administration in the 33 days of the session failed in every effort tb make good party promises, but three times this week the Republican house was split by a new fighting force among the Democrats and went down .to de feat in an effort to make good the promises of the Dartv and its leaders. Once the Republican house aereatea the initiative and referendum. Again it failed to redeem a Capper promise to deliver the office of labor com missioner over to the labor organiza tions. At another time the house majority cracked in a fight to repeal the nonpartisan judiciary act. With this situation in the house, a new organization is being perfected in a hope that some of the pledges may be redeemed. Against the apparent lack of house organization, is an evi dence of close Democratic organiza tion in the senate and a determined effort to uphold the record of the Democratic administration and legisla ture of two years ago. Real Test Xext Week. Next week the real test on appro priations will come in the house. That body has set aside Tuesday afternoon for consideration of financial affairs and will attempt to trim nearly a mil- "BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES" mmm lion dollars off the appropriation items recommended, by the senate. It is ad mitted that any effort to reduce senate appropriations means that the bills will go conference.. All of which adds to the uncertainty of a date of final adjournment. To date .the .legislature has accom plished but little, so far as the record of important enactments Is concerned; During the week, the house and senate got together on the repeal of the pure shoe bill and the bulk sales bill has been passed and signed by the gover nor. The semi-monthly -pay day has also come through the mill safely and is ready for executive attention. But that is about alL To be sure the house passed the bill for the abolishment of the penal board and its consolidation with the board of control. Yet as there is scarce a s$tfeht hope that .the bill will find its wy through the enate, there win be bur little on tne statute books to show-, fee a half day 'Of ardent oratory. And thus the record stands. But 17 days of the regular session including Sundays now remain. The record, to date is 29 bills including two resolu tions appropriating $80,000 for legis lative expenses. -.r Stop Bills February 15. Introduction of original bills and resolutions in both branches of the state legislature will cease Monday, February 15, under a resolution adopt ed in the senate several days ago. Under the resolution the house "re quests" the introduction of all appro, priation bills from the ways and means committee not later than Sat urday, February 20. It is probable that the total num ber of bills originating in both houseB will total 1,800 by Monday night. Two years ago about 1,600 bills were Intro duced. The senate, under its resolu tion, will cease introduction of all bills Monday. As the house ways and means committee has not completed hearings on appropriation, they will be given another week in which to complete their work. Appropriation bil'ls reported by the house ways and means committee have been made a special order for Tuesday afternoon.

The vessels of neutrals enter upon this war zone only at their own risk. This condition of affairs, and the Consequences after February 18 cannot be changed or Influenced by any representations or demands from Washington. It Is equally out of the question that the identity of every ship with a neutral flag be ascertained. A submarine mine cannot learn this identity and such a course ia equally impossible for a submarine boat." In concluding hla article. Count von Keventlow says: "The German declaration in itself must furnish proof to Americans that the possible destruction of American ships after Feb. 18 cannot afford the Washington government any ground for complaint of any nature against the German government but that the American government and the. ship pers themselves must bear the respon elbility if they permit their vessels to enter this war zone, we gainer tne impression here 1 from expressions reaching Germany from across the water that if the American people believe they can handle the German government as they desire by pressure and threats they will fool themselves."

PLAY ATSCIIOOLS The System In Topeka Has Been Revolutionized. TV. P. MacLean, Director, Has Introduced New Plan. "KITE DAY" FOR YOUNGSTERS Hundreds of Kiddies Will Fly Kites on Fair Grounds. 3Iainmoth Athletic Exhibition Planned for May. Play on the city school grounds has been revolutionized since the creation last September of the position of di rector of physical education by the school board. Systematized play is now in vogue. Where children were formerly comparatively inactive in recreation or recess periods, it is now case of '"everybody's doin' it." W. P. Mac Loan, Director of Physical Education Topeka Public Schools. So enthusiastic are the boys and girls that in groups and clubs various forms of out-of-door sports and ex ercises are being perfected. The girls are learning the old-fashioned May pole dance and dances of various na tions. Gymnastic clubs have been or ganized among the boys at several of the schools, and one evening a week is devoted to pyramid work, tumbling, etc. The high school boys will take up the Italian naval pole drill, tum bling and apparatus work. A class will be formed when the new "gym" Is completed. H. B. Wilson, superintendent of city schools, who has instituted many things that are new in Topeka, is a strong advocate of play under super Vision. W. P. MacLean is the man who, as director of physical educa tion, has been working the transfor mation. Kite Day In April. Director MacLean announced today that early in April there will be a kite day for the children of the public schools. Every child who can make a kite will be a contestant in a kite flying meet on the fair grounds. Prizes will be awarded for the largest, smallest, most grotesque, most ingen ious, and strongest pulle- among the kites in the contest. This will be something new for To peka an-1, thousands of children as well as grown-ups undoubtedly will be on hand to see the fun. Mammoth Athletic Exhibition. But this is not all. To wind up the work for the year the greatest school athletic exhibition ever held in To peka will be staged on the fair grounds, in which every pupil in the city schools is expected to participate. It wilt take place some time in May. An admission fee will be charged to raise money to go towards establish ing a playgrounds system in Topeka for the summer vacation period. Mr. MacLean is an expert in play ground work. He had some experi ence in his home city. Youngstown. Ohio. For three years he was con nected with the Cleveland Boys home at Hudson, Ohio, near Cleveland. This home is owned by the city of Cleveland and there are (00 boys at th home on the average. A great work in physical education is done at this home. Prior to coming to Topeka MacLean was director of physical edu cation for the rchonis at Fargo, N. D. MacLean Tells of Work in speaking of the work being done In the city schools Mr. MacLean said: The work being done by the de partment of physical educaiton In the schools of Topeka may he divided into two parts physical training or class room work and organized athletics or playground work. The physical training work consists siE2 MONDAY. of marches, drills and games which time and use have proven to be of some peculiar benefit to the physical growth of the child. First Grade Work. The -first grade has a very simple little drill, performed with two flags in the school colors in which only ele mentary movements are concerned. The drill is an original one made up of the movements commonly used in sending messages by the wig-wag code. Its aim is co-ordination. In Second Grade. The second grade work consists of a hoop drill made up of seven exer cises copied somewhat after a drill for women by "Anderson." It con sists of movements which bring every muscle of the body into action and call for a certain amount of grace in move ment. Music In Third Grade. The third grade work is a drill made up of 18 free-hand. Betting up exercise9 which is done to music and therefore cultivates a sense of rhythm. The movements start out very simply with breathing exercises and wind up with a set in which every muscle in the body is used. Folk Dance in the Fourth. The work of the fourth grade is a Swedish folk game, "Varfa Vadlnal," introduced into this country by Jacob Bolin, a pioneer in physical training work in the United States who did much for the advancement of the work in the schools of New Tork and Columbia university. This game is merry and vigorous and develops a certain amount of grace. Fifth Grade Military Steps. The fifth grade works at marching steps and military formations formu lated somewhat after the commands and maneuvers used in the United States army and military schools. The idea is to train the mind to take In a command quickly and the body to speedily and precisely answer to the control of the mind. Wand Drill in Sixth. The wand drill used by the sixth grade is patterned closely after the set of exercises decided by the army board to be the best for general exer cise purposed for use in the U. S. army. It was designed by Major Butts and Is known as "Butts' Manual." Seventh Grade Hand Exercises. The seventh grade is doing a series of free-hand exercises to music de signed to develop every muscle in the body and to produce good posture, grace, poise and a sense of rhythm. Indian Club Drill. The eighth grade is swinging Indian clubs in a 1 club drill made up of the more helpful and less fancy and intri cate movements. However, some of the movements are intricate enough to be interesting and the drill is very pretty when done by a class of 40 or 60 pupils. 1 Besides the regular school work, the girls in groups and clubs are taking; up folk dancing in the various schools. All are learning the old-fashioned English Maypole dance and some are taking up the dances of different na tions, such as the Highland Fling, the Irish Jig, the Italian Tarantella, Swed ish Bliking. English Hornpipe, etc. The boys of several different schools have organized themselves into gym nastic clubs, and these meet at the school building one evening a week to do pyramid work, tumbling, etc. The high school boys will take up the Italian naval pole drill, tumbling and apparatus work. A Definite Aim. The work for the different grades is designed to be difficult enough to hold the interest of the children. The work is adapted from what is consid ered to be the best in physical train ing work after six years of study add experience and adopted with the con viction that after a child has passed through the grades of physical train ing work graded just as carefully as reading and arithmetic, with the knowledge of what a child may and can safely do along these lines he will come out of school strong, self reliant, well developed, cool of head and quick of hand. Athletic Contests. In arranging the grade school ath letic program the beginning of the year the city was divided into four sections for the purpose of athletic contests, the champions from each section playing for the final city championship. In the fall the older boys. will play football, the younger boys soccer, and the girls forward pass ball, a game in which alertness, speed and skill are at a premium and brute strength or roughness of no avail, as it is a foul to even touch an opponent. In the winter basket ball will be played by both boys and girls, under different rules, in the new gymnasium. In the spring the boys will play baseball ar d the girls ground ball. Beside swards for the championship in these lines of sport, medals and pins are given to those who put up the best game during the season in each line of sport, to en courage individual prowess. Banners are also awarded for school spirit and good sportsmanship. Group Athletics. Besides these lines of snort In which only certain ones who can make the teams take part, another line of snort has been introduced which will give every Doy and girl above the fifth grade a chance to engage In helnful i athletics. This .system is known as Ap II v Ok ll Ate,, ll il t M V II llwaTDavau HEArr Tor-zzA daily ctatu jcutal CAr jijay TUESDAY. group athletics, and under it instead of calling that school the winner of an event which has the man who makes the highest mark in the event, every one in each class enters the event and the class having the highest class average wins. This gives everybody a chance and gives encouragement and training to the child who is a poor athlete and therefore needs work most but would otherwise be neglected. The events are: Boys Chin up, high Jump, broad jump, dash and basketball throws. Girls Combination dip, trunk lift, chin up, standing broad jump, dash and basketball throw. Two tests in these everts tre given to all of the children each year and the class having the best averages wins. Awards will be made after the sec ond tsst to those children who show the greatest amount of Improvement over the marks made in the first test. This gives any child, no matter how poorly he does the first time, the chance to win an award the second time. It encourages all of the chil dren to practice and Improve and as the events are those which have been highly endorsed not only by the lead ers in physical education, but by some of the most prominent physicians in the land, the child is bound to profit physically. It Always Happens Thus. "We're going to have a good team this year," Said tbe baseball "bug" In the early spring. "If we don't win tbe pennant, 'twill be mighty queer. There's no way on earth we can lose the thing." There's big "Texas" Bill, who can pole them a mile. And "Shorty" McNstt, who's all over the lot. Doss Pete steal the bases? Well, now I should smile. With a few more like these, now what chance have they got? When the first Inning started the crowd was true bine. Mayor Stout pitched hte ball that started tbe game. The crowd never stayed till the game was all through. And the" way they lambasted that team was s shame. Each time at the bat "Texas" Bill fanned the breeze While "Shorty" McNntt pulled aU aorta of "bones." The bush league performers got weak In the knees. And all you could hear from the bleach ers were groans. Now Pete stole the bases for speed was bis word. And twice he stole second when some one was on, Jones batted left handed and started for third. They kept this work up till the crowd had all cone. At the end of the season this bunch fin ished last. The owners lost money snd so did the team. Bnt hope, springs eternal when winter bad passed They tried it again for they had one more aream. I. C. H. HAVE SAME LINE- UP. There Will Be Few New Faces on Chicago National Team. Chicago, 111., Feb. 13. The Chicago Nationals will start the season with practically the same line-up as last year. Manager Bresnahan announced on his return rrom xmc-w lore touay. He admitted his failure to get two players, for whom the club offered $30,000, and at tbe same time criti cised the 21 -men rule, which he de clared would prevent the clubs de veloping youngsters. John Gibson of Mobile, who caught for the Pensacola team last summer, has been signed by the Cubs. JIM COFFEY, HEAVY MOTORMAN WITH Cbf y ARRivVo ton ve?A ABO.

Kansas City, Mo.. Feb. 18. Carl Morris, the Oklahoma aspirant to the heavyweight pugilistic championship, won a decision in a ten round bout with Al Norton here Friday night. The fight was Morris' throughout. During all but two rounds when Norton suc ceeded in landing some good blows, the Oklahoman was continuously on the offensive, often chasing Norton around the ring until the latter would turn and clinch with him. Baker Defeats Washburn. Baldwin, Kan., Feb. 13. Baker suc ceeded in defeating the basket tossers of Washburn Friday evening, by the score of 40 to 21.

Lawrence, Kan., Feb. 13. Thirty eight county clubs are organized at the University of Kansas. The Wyan dotte County club is the largest with 160 members. LUCKIEST PLAYER LOOKING FOR JOB JAM. r Josh Devore, who has been called "the luckiest man in baseball' be cause he helped divide the Giants series money in 1913 and the Braves' in 1914 without doing anything in particular, to earn it, was recently released by 3tallings. It seems un likely that he will play this year ia the big leagues. 1ST PAY TAXES. "Fly-By-Nlght" Mercantile Would Be Required to Pay Up. "Fly -by-nights" who come to town with a stock of merchandise, transact a lot of business at cut rates and leave as abruptly as they came after skim ming the cream off local business, will have to settle accounts with the tax collector, according to the Kinkle bill which has passed the senate commit tee of the whole.

Upholding the hands of the presi dent Is not so easy as hold-upping the hands of the simple-minded taxpay ers. A number of devout Democrats have made this discovery when they tried to pass resolutions that might influence the Kansas delegation to stand by the executive. He Has a Shipping Resolution. Senator Harry McMillan, who is not only a veteran In the senator business but for eight years mayor of Minne apolis, Kan., wanted to give the presi dent a word of encouragement in his efforts to purchase merchant vessels for the American trade. To this end he drew a perfectly good resolution. inviting Kansas congressmen and sen ators to get busy and vote with the president. If the resolution ever reaches the delegation, it will be in a sadly mussed-up condition. Certain senators put certain joshers in said resolution, and as it stands, it is mere ly a request that the Kansas delega tion do whatever it wants to If it feels like it. To swat one's pet resolution like that is extremely unkind. To let a ship resolution go adrift without anchor or steering gear Is careless, to say the least, and certain senators think seriously of recalling the noble craft and sinking it with appropriate ceremonies. The child hygiene bill, (with appro priations) will undoubtedly pass. This bill (with appropriations) will add an other burden to the heavy load of re sponsibility carried by Doc Swathefly Crumbine, but he likes to carry such burdens (with appropriations), and as the idea embodied in the bill is an ex cellent one, the measure should be popular with all classes. They have swatted Senator Davis's proposition to fine those voters who do not vote. The senator's idea was to make people vote, but maybe he ap proached the idea from the wrong di rection. It may be that charging peo ple for the privilege of voting would get better results. The right to vote is free, and free things are unpopular. The boy who works in a candy factory seldom eats as much as he did when he had to buy it at a retail price. If the Drice of a ballot was one aoliar, it could be marked down to 98" cents and get results with the new voters. For many, many seasons and ses sions, the paramount thought with every legislature was: "Gig the .rail roads." It isn't done now, you know, as Ruggtes of Red Gap might say. The railroads have been gigged to a fraz zle, and an occasional bill that will only bump tbe iron track people of Kansas a mere matter of two or three millions is all that is demanded to keep up the legislative batting aver age. But In days of old. it was dif ferent, and legislation had its lighter, as well as tragic side. The railroads have a kindly feeling for the hunch of long-horn reformers who took It upon themselves to abolish that Aw ful Pass Evil. The Pass Evil was a real evil, and the railroads were the hollow-horn ruminants. The reform ers hanged themselves In their effort to get publicity for their great Move ment, because tney nera tneir organi sation by virtue of their abiHty to get railroad passes ad lib and send their satelHtes over the state. They didn't expect the anti-pass bill to get by, but certain humorists saw the joke and boosted It across the plate. It for ever queered the bunch that started it, and did the railroads an invaluable service. Nearly every man who voted for the anti-pass law had a pass In his pistol pocket and a streak of old gold wider than the pass. It chopped the passers but tittle, but ft raised heck with the psss ees, The ceased to go home Sundays, and no longer did the pass departments of the railroads get brief notes on legislative note pa per like these: "Deer Sir: My wife's sistern law's neece, wants to go to Call forny for the summer.

(This Is the nineteenth of a series of ar tlclea on Topeka churches and Christian organizations published In the State Jour naL) y The Topeka Toung Women's Chris- tian association was organized in No vember. 1887, at the home of Mrs. W.

The association was without a home of its own for more tnan a year, m in March. 1889, the rooms over Fish s mm. at 108 East Sixth avenue, were secured and remodeled. Here for two years "dwelt" the Topeka Young Women's association, in a suite of rooms consisting 01 a w reading room and an office which was shared with the secretary 01 uw association. The First Secretary. Miss Annie Adams, now Mrs. Baird of Korea, was the first general sec retary. Under her .supervision Bible classes were organized, Sunday school meetings held and evening socials planned for various groups of girls. A boarding house directory was main tained in the office for the benefit of the strange girls; an employment de nnrtment was established. During that samo winter educational classes were organized in tne iouow ing subjects: Bookkeeping, stenogra phy, penmanship, physical culture and dressmaking. A prayer service was held at the noon hour for the girls who came to the tea room to eat their lunches. All this was made possible by the fact that the women, who were respon sible for the organization of the asso ciation were willing to give themselves to the work that it might succeed; even as those women who are on the board of directors today are giving their time and strength in order that at the present time of so much more vast opportunities and responsibilities, the Young Women's Christian associ ation may not be found lacking. In 1891, after occupying the rooms over Fish's for two years, the asso ciation moved into more commodious quarters on the second floor of the building at 610 Kansas avenue. Here the organization remained for more than eight years. Growth of Organization. The work grew steadily in all de partments. It became necessary to employ some one to assist the secre tary in the tea rooms and in other ways. Again the home was outgrown and the association was moved to the second floor of the building now known as the Masonic Temple, in the autumn of 1899. It was here that the Y. W. C. A. had its first equipped gymnasium' under its own rcof. Here the association remained, continually growing into the larger responsibili ties that the growing city was forcing upon it. until June, 1911, when it moved into its own building erected at the corner of Seventh and Van Buren streets. This building stands today as an evidence of the apprecia tion of the citizens of Topeka for the work that has been done for the young women of their city. Several Beqncsts Received. The Young Women's Christian as- Homc of Topeka Young Women's Christian Association at Comer of Seventh and Van Buren Streets. sociation has been the recipient of a number of bequests from appreciative friends. W. C. Charles was the first to express his appreciation by a large gift. Judge Clark gave the associa tion a piece of property at Ninth street and Topeka avenue, which was to be sola and the money used as the final payment on the biulding. Mrs. Stor mont left a generous sum to the asso ciation which was also used in the building. Mrs. G. G. Gage left the association some personal property and a building at 431 Kansas avenue. which has been retained as a source of income. In 1906, through the inter est of A. B. Whiting, the Young Wom en's Christian association was named as one of the beneficiaries in the Mount Hone Cemeterv The income from this source during recent years has been greatly appreciated.

The third floor is occupied by the boarding home, having rooms to accommodate 24 girls, and a large central living room.

They find it quite re freshing, after the hot days In the of fice or the store, to rest at night out on the roof under the stars. Staff of Secretaries. Miss Marguerite Dice, the general secretary, came to Topeka from Cin cinnati, O. Miss Dice had special Y. W. C.

Sweet and Mrs. F. C. Thompson. More Than 1,000 Members. The association has at present a membership of 1,043 and is active along all lines In which a live associa tion should be Interested. Last year the Sunday vesper services were at tended by an average of 41 persons a Sunday. Fellowship tea is always served at the close of these meetings to all the young, women who will re main. Last year the members of the association contributed $168.65 to ward the support of Miss Laura Rad ford, formerly state secretary of the Y. W. C. A. here, now general secre tary of the association at Singapore, in the Malay peninsula. During the year there were 224 of the members en rolled in the Bible classes; 411 in the classes of the physical department; 108 in the educational department. There are 18 periodicals on the tables of the reading room, and 598 volumes in the association library with a total circulation last year of 231. Aside from its own library, the asso ciation has 100 volumes from the state traveling library with a circula tion of 75. In the year positions were procured for 85 young women. In the board ing department there have been 46 permanent roomers; that is, girls who have remained more than a month, and 643 transient guests have 'been accommodated. A average of 200 persons a day, have taken meals in the cafeteria. Association Departments. A student committee, with Miss Sweet as chairman, has been organ ized, having in charge the work in the high school and business colleges. There is at present a high school club of 143 members. meeting monthly. This club sent a delegate to the Estes Park conference last summer. In the girls department there are two clubs one the Girls' Guardian club, under the supervision of Miss Mary MacLennan and Mrs. A. G. Ket tler, and the other, the Pollyanna club, under the supervision of Miss Florence Dice and Miss Katherine McCarter. These club are composed of girls from Branner and Lafayette schools, and are doing gymnasium and club work. They have their own organization and are getting practice in parliamentary law. Miss Williams, the physical director, has a class in gymnasium work for children at tjulncy school. It is hoped that some time in the near future regular association work may be opened up In North Topeka, but the plans have not been con summated yet. Activities Are Varied. But a few of the many activities of the. Y. W. C. A. have been enum erated. The classes in the educational department are varied in their nature, and provide excellent training for young women.

FOR TOPEKA FAIR. Senate ways and Means Recommends Money to Capital City. Cora A. Lewis Says They Not Up to Standard. Parsons. Kan., Feb. 13. "While It is ahead on almost everything else. Kansas is behind in its country schools," Mrs. Cora A. Lewis, mem ber of the Kansas board of adminis tration, said in an address before the convention of Southwestern Kansas Livestock association here Friday night. The address closed the con vention, which has been in session three days. "The farmers are so busy getting more wheat to the acqe and putting more beef on their cattle that thev have neglected their schools, leaving them for the most part to the girls and boys," Mrs. Lewis said. "In the country schools Kansas needs to em ploy better teachers, nay them better salaries and provide them with better equipment." F. A. DERBY CHOSEN. ReadiQ. Room Topeka Y. W. C. A.

The Topeka state fair will get an appropriation; f $15,000 for the next two years if the recommendation of the senate ways and means committee is acceded to by the house of represen tatives, which has already received from its own ways and means com mittee a recommendation for a $10, 000 appropriation.'. The senate com mittee proposes to give the Topeka fair $7,500 a year or any part of that amount which may be duplicated by the management of the Topeka fair to be used strictly for premiums. Just how the proposed appropria tion would be distributed remains Tor determination by a subcommittee of tne ways and means committee which will propose a schedule to which the appropriation may be applied. This schedule will probably provide that an offer of $1,000 must be made up for me oesi county display brought to lopexa. ruone of the money would in any event be available for r track prizes but all would be spent for premiums to encourage displays of uvraiocK, agricultural or other indus trial accomplishments. It looks as though the state legis lature would adopt n. new policy to wara state fairs at this session and mane, tor tne first time, appropria tions ror tneir encouragement. The ways and means committee of the nouse has recommended $15,000 for the Hutchinson fair and $10,000 for tne Topeka fair. The senate has not yet committed itself on the Hutchin son appropriation.

Smiley' s election is for the eighteenth consecutive term in the same office. Jacob Mohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture of Kansas, -in a paper read before the convention, advised the Kansas far mers to plant a smaller acreage of wheat. The land will not raise wheat for ever," he said. "A few good crops and it will begin to wear out and be come thin. Rotation of croos in a wise manner will prevent this."

Mortgages, Is Plan. 1 There is a bust in plaster mounted on a pedestal in the Memorial hall at which visitors take more than a cas ual glance; it is a character study of unusual interest. It is a bust of the late General J. C. Caldwell of Topeka, and those who inquire into its history are amazed to learn that it represents the work of a Topekan who was a mere boy at the time thin work of art was fashioned Merrill Gage, son or Mrs. J. P. Gris wold. 1031 Fillmore street. The story of the bust is Interesting. At the age of 17 or 18 years, while in the high school, the youngful sculptor listened to an address in assembly hour by General Caldwell. Young Cage was impressed by the face of the speaker, and through a friend ar rangements were made whereby he was to go to the general's home to work on a bust. Three mornings were devoted to the task by this high school student while General Caldwell In dulged in the reading of his paper. Gage received inspiration in his grade school experience under the guidance of Miss Charlotte Schley, a teacher of art. Taken From an Attic. Until a short time ago the bust was in safe keeping in the attic of the Griswold home. Its value was not fully realized until in a chance manner some friends saw this work of art. They were strong ly impressed. The attention of William Connelley, secretary of the State Historical society, was called to it with the result that it has been loaned to the society. It has been attracting so much at- tention that it has been suggested that it should be in bronze. General J. C. Caldwell. At the time of his death several years ago General Caldwell was one of the two surviving Civil war n erals. He was a man of unusual at tainments. Not only did he gain dis tinction in the war, but his record as a diplomat and a scholar in subse quent years was an enviable one. He represented the United States as min ister in several South American states. He translated his English books into Spanish as he read, having been a mas ter of that language. Merrill Gage is now studying under and assisting the well known New York sculptor. Gutzon Borglum. Gage has unusual talent, and it is reported that he is making rapid progress in the eastern studio. He was popular as a student in To peka. It is a characteristic of his that he puts' his whole soul into any task he undertakes. In 1910 and 1911 he was assistant physical director of the Central T. M. C. A. He is now 22 years of age. An American expert has been en gaged by the Australian state of Vic toria to reopen a long closed factory and revive the beet sugar industry.

Calls Emporian a "Self Ap pointed Beformer." Burt E. Brown, secretary of the senate, has written an answer to the William Allen White declaration that the present one is a "Jitney Legisla ture." Whle the senate, itself, as sumes that, since its members were not elected at the 1914 election. White's article does not apply to the upper house. Brown, however, feels the need of taking up cudgels for de fense and does it as follows: "People who live in transparent domiciles should not hurl huge boul ders. The last surviving member of the Kansas hosts at Armageddon re turns from the battlefield to call the Kansas statesmen a 'Jitney legislature.' "Bill White ought to quit playing Sancho Panza to the Don Quixote of Oyater Bay long enough to find whether the political machine of which he is head engineer could be retailed for a jitney at any junk shop. The bell wether of the Kansas Bull Moose actually knows about as much about the legislature as a cub bear knows about Christmas, and he would be about as useful in a real legislature as a bull in a china shop. "It seems to be popular sport for self appointed reformers, grandstand ers and agitators, when they are un able to attract public attention in any other way to begin an agitation to abolish the legislature, or start some other equally foolish and silly propo sition. This is a biennial game played by a few disappointed politicians who cannot have their own way, or who have never had their hands in a 'nork barrel' that existed only in their im agination. "I have been very closely identified with two sessions of the legislature. As secretary of the senate, I have come in contact and have been very closely associated wth every member of the senate and many members of the lower house. I resent the uncalled for criticism made by any one. which j is unjust, unfair and untrue. i "My years of experience as a com mercial traveler, calling on the big gest, best and most successful business men In this country has taught me to be -a close observer of human nature, I and I believe a fairlv good judge. I I never in all my life have been asso ciated with a better or more clever set of men than those who compose the present Kansas state senate. "The charge that thev ar cheat). disorganized, irresponsible, unreliable and stupid, sounds more like the rav ing of an anarchist than it does com ing from one of the brilliant sons of Kansas. I mean no disrespect, and of fer no apology, or cast any insinua tions when I say the present Kansas state senate is the very best the state has ever known. t There is not a single man that could be induced, no matter what the inducements were, to vote for or against a proposition unless he thought it was for the best interests of his district and the state of Kansas. "I should like to be present, or concealed in hiding rather, when some grafter would approach any single member of the senate and ask him to vote for or against a bill for a money consideration. There not only would likely be a foot race, but my opinion is. tne grarter would get smashed in the nose before he had the last words of his proposition out of his mouth. "The senate is very evenly divided so far as politics are concerned. Po- ii i ri i i i m ii .w aj w waa" t. w m I -M a of Topeka. on exhibit in Memorial Is now assisting famous sculptor In litically I differ with the minority, but personally I have the highest re gard for the honesty, integrity and in telligence of every one of them. While they are sometimes inclined to have a little fun with their Democratic brethren, the majority is just as apt for diversion to play a game of pol itics at the expense of the minority. "It seems to me. knowing the pres ent Kansas state senate as well as I do, that when a man goes out of his way to call them irresponsible and unreliable, he is stepping consider ably out of the boundaries in which a gentleman should travel. "If Mr. White or any other man thinks there is a single member of the Kansas state senate that is irre sponsible or unreliable, he should at least pay the senate a visit and take a few observations for himself. I White inside the senate chamber this session or last, and if he thinks they are "stupid, I will stick up any sena tor in the bunch against him for a joint debate and give him the open ing and closing speeches, and if he does not form the opinion before the debate is over that he is not in it, I will buy the treat. "I have watched this state senate day in and day out. have recorded -the bills, and listened to their debates, and I am sure that a more earnest and conscientious set of men never lived. They will not pass any bill that is in jurious to Kansas or ner people, and have in mind at all times the best in terests of everybody." Burmese Tattooing. In spite of the fact that the Bur mese tattooers are very skillful, the business is a painful one, and in many cases the "patient" is kept under the influence of an opiate. The designs traced on the chest and arms are for ornamentation or act as charms. Those on the wrists, for instance, are supposed to keep snakes away. Tat tooing on the thighs shows that a Bur mese boy has reached manhood. The designs are always of animals, each one surrounded by letters or words so that it stands out separate from other patterns. The dyes used in Burma are red end blue, but the former fades quickly, leaving only the blue show ing'. The Shans are the best Burmese tattooers. but their work cannot com pare with that of the Japanese. From the February wide World Mag' azine.

It is estimated that there are now more than 8,000 silos in the state, more than ninety-five per cent of which have been built in the last four years. The assessors for the stats board of agri culture found that 7,117 silos were in use In Kansas March 1, 1914. Hun dreds of them have been constructed since that date. Through the courtesy of the Kansas Farmer the accompanying map is printed to give at a glance a concep tion of the distribution of the silos In the state. The map was prepared from the state board of agriculture figures. This is the second silo map to be published; the first one was printed a year ago, the figures being compiled tsy tne correspondents of the Kansas Farmer. There were fewer than 7,000 silos represented on that map. Necessity Did It. It was necessity that drove the farm ers of Kansas to build silos. Many farm era actually lost money for a few years because of the high price of feed for stock; some of them actually went out of business. Then came the silo into general use by progressive stockmen and prosperity has resulted. The silo has been a boon to the stockmen. especially in the years that crops have been short. Up to three or four years ago corn was "king" among silage crops, but has been deposed by the sorghums be cause of their drought-resisting char acteristics. In many sections of the state the yield of the sorghums such as kafir and feterita is much heavier while the food value is practically equal. In the sections of the state where corn is raised with difficulty the silo has proved of special value. Silo Has Worked Wonders. The silo has worked wonders in stimulating the dairying industry in Kansas. There are wonderful oppor tunities in this state for the dairy man, and within a few years Kansas undoubtedly will be one of the great dairy states of the Union. There is already a decided improvement in the quality of dairy cattle in the state. The following brief editorial in the recent special silo issue of the Kan sas Farmer is to the point: The Kind of Silo. Once a man is convinced of the value of silage he seeks information as to the kind of silo he should build. This matter cannot be definitely de termined for him. The man who wants a silo knows his own conditions and circumstances best. Nearly all silos keep silage. Some cost more than others. Some are. on account of material and construction, less per manent than others. A man must de cide for himself whether he will in vest a smaller amount in a silo that will last from fifteen to twenty years, or invest a larger amount of money in a silo that will last longer. Any kind of silo mast have attention. Care will add years to the life of any silo. The very best of any material may prove a failure if neglected. Hence the things to determine upon are these: Build a Silo; Build a Good One; Take Care of It and you will succeed. (Editor's note: This is the first of a new series of articles on agriculture in Kansas by F. L. S. to be published in the State Journal.)

Provisions whereby farmers mav is sue first mortgage bonds on their real estate, which shall be exempt from taxation, and which may be issued to Dear interest at 6 per cent, is included in a out mat is being prepared by Sen tor J. M. Davis of Bourbon county. The bill goes farther in the way of rural credits than any measure yet proposed, and its author declares It comes nearer serving the farmer than any oi tnem. Under the terms of the measure the farmer, rather than the money lender. iixes tne amount of his indebtedness and the interest rate. Bonds, inclnl ing a first mortgage provision, are to be issued for long periods, the time limit being 20 years. The farmer who issues them then hunts a market for his bonds, much as the corporaton or City issuing bonds does. It cuts out the middle man in largj measure, gives the farmer cheaD mon ey on time long enough to pay it back easily, cuts out double mortgages on real estate that iJ incumbered, and elevates the farm mortgage, which Serator Davis declares is the highest type of security, to a much higher plane. Also it woulr enable the far mer to issue bonds up to perhaps 80 per cent of the valuation of his farm. based of course on careful appraise ment. Such bonds. Senator Davis believes. would be taken readily by those hav ing money to lend. And this measure would help the farmer much more than the present tax registration measure which, he says, barely takes a step in the right direction, and real ly accomplishes almost no good. I do not expect some of the meas ures to be enacted into law," Senator Davis says. "My lobby bill will be a long time getting recognition, but some time it will become a law, and rightly. It took six years to reach the publication of text books. But the re forms will come."

C The alarm was telephoned in by one of the night employees at the Page mill, about a block from the depot. The central operator notified thefire department that the fire was at the mill. Company No. 1 of North Tooeka was the first to arrive, but found no fire at the mill. Several of the fire men were inside of the mill, thinking perhaps the fire was in the basement and could not be seen from the out side. In a few minutes Fire Chief Hanlon arrived. On his way to the fire, he noticed the glow seemed to come from the location- of the depot. On crossing Laurent street Chief Han lon saw the depot afire and immedi ately notified the fire companies at the Page mill. The Santa Fe junction depot is one of the oldest landmarks in North To peka. m About a year ago the Santa Fe of ficials decided to replace the antique edifice as the old junction depot was called with a modern structure, but no far nothing has been done. The railroad gives as an excuse, hard times. A small amount of freight and bag gage was lost in the fire this morning. Lyceum Meeting. Between four and five hundred persons attended the meeting of the Shorey lyceum which was held Fri day night in the East Indianola school house.

The Topeka Edison Co. 808 Kansas Ave. Phone 4080 CAN'T USE CANAL Southern Pacific Must Quit or Give Up Its Ships. I. C. Finds o Objection to the Coastwise Trade. Washington, Feb; 13. The South ern Pacific company must dispose of its holdings in the Pacific Mail Steam ship company unless operations of the Pacific Mail vessels through the Pan ama' canal are stopped within sixty days, according to a decision by the interstate commerce commission to day. Operation through the canal would make the Southern Pacific holdings in the steamship line illegal, the commission ruled.- The petition of the railroad set forth that it proposed to operate the steam ship company- in traffic between San Francisco and ports in Mexico, Guate mala, Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, between Mexican and Central: American ports and Europe and between Mexican and -Central American ports and the Atlantic and Gulf ports of the United States. This triffic, the petition says, would be handled by the steamship company to or from Balboa and transshipped in connection with the vessels of other lines in no way connected with the petitioner. The commission was told during the oral argument of the case that the Southern Pacific proposed! to give up its service from San Francisco to New York through the canal and from San Francisco to Burooe via the canal be cause such service might be considered to be in competition with the South-. ern Pacific rail and water service via New Orleans. s The commission today held: "The Pacific Mail Steamship com pany operating boats between San Francisco and Balboa or Colon, may compete for coastwise interstate traffic between points in the United States for traffic between points in the United States and points in Mexico and for traffic between points in the United States and points in foreign: countries, with the Southern Pacific company's rail lines from San Francisco. "The commission is without power to grant any extension of time as to vessel or vessels operating or to oper ate between ?an Francisco'and Colon, for the reason that that service by water would be through the Panama canal. If it shall be made to appear that certain specified vessel or ves sels will operate no further than Bal boa, the commission could, as to such vessel or vessels, grant an extension of time. "From the record it appears that the service proposed other than that through the Panama canal would be in the interest of the public and of advantage to the convenience and commerce of the people, and that its continuance would neither exclude. prevent nor reduce competition on .the route by water under consideration." VOTE Oil OFFICERS. Sloxeey Pleasure for Election of Coun- Tom Moxeey of Atchison county would provide for the election of county superintendents' by vote of the' men and women in the country dis tricts. A bill which the Atchison law-; yer has introduced in the house would provide that the names of candidates for superintendent would not appear' on ballots in cities of the first and second class. The Moxcey bill would leave the election of county superintendents en tirely in the hands of the rural voters, whom the author, of the bill believes are most vitally interested in the ot-' rice. Names of candidates for super intendent would appear only on bal lots in the rural precincts and in cities of the third class. Another bill by. Moxcev todav nrr- vides that losses from fire, tornado and hail shall be paid by the insur ance companies within sixty days, from date of loss.' For all delays, the' companies would be compelled to pay ni t. momn to tne policy holder.

Fear That Many Men Will Form Drinking Habit. London. Feb. 13. A daily ration of rum is still part of tbc regular sup plies of British soldiers in the actual fighting lines, but it is doled out un der the head of "medicine," and the quantity allowed is only three table spoonfuls with rations for two days. "This small ration of alcohol was considered indispensable by the army physicians," writes a correspondent to the Liverpool Post. "They considered it necessary that the soldier exposed to the cold for hours in the trenches should have some stimulant available, and experience taught that the 'dra' of rum, taken either straight or in his tea, was the thing." In some quarters fears have been expressed that the distribution of an alcoholic stimulant to the soldiers might lead some of the men to form permanent habits of drinking, but army leaders replied- that the quan tity handed out was too small to jus tify any such fear, and moreover, it is given to men only when they are actually in the front lines or in ex posed positions on outpost duty. As a matter of fact, everything is done to ensure the sobriety of the troops. When the armies are either advancing or retreating through a town all the saloons are closed, and the same measure is taken wherever the troops are in occupation of a town. Old campaigners declare that their daily spoonful of rum is a safeguard against. certain diseases, such as chol era. As a matter of fact, notwithstand ing the army's purchases of rum, the total importations of this beverage have fallen off more than half since the beginning of the war. Importers explain this by saying that the rum makers in Jamaica and the West In dies are not making as much as for merly, because a greater profit is to be realized just now from the sale of sugar, although the price of rum has advanced about seventy per cent. WILES OF THE DEVIL. Rev. Herbert Booth Will Speak cn That Subject Sunday. The Rev. Herbert Booth, the Eng lish evangelist, will, speak at the First Baptist church Sunday at 11, 3:30 and 7:30 o'clock. f I Miss Louise Llewellvn mail. h first appearance as a singer in Topeka Friday afternoon in recital at the Grand theater. Her coming had a special interest to many who regard her as a sort of local institution, inas much as her lather was once governor of Kansas, and she herself lived in Topeka during his stormy administra tion, though she must then have been a little girl, for she Is still young, an mat was a good while ago. A Topeka woman was the teacher of her Sunday school class, and one of the school teachers who taught in the building where the little girl was a student Ce clares that they all knew the child had tatent, but they were certain it was not for arithmetic. Miss Llewellyn selected- to introduce herself to her erstwhile fellow-townsmen, a program of folk songs, includ ing a few English ballads and a good many Bohemian pieces. These were drawn from Slovak and Moravian sources as well as from the music of the present province of Bohemia. The outstanding attribute of these Slavic songs is a certain graceful melody and strong rhythmic character, such as belongs to the early music of all peo ples, and is especially marked in their folk songs. They carry always a hint of the dance. As to their emotional significance, it was pretty .well con cealed behind the barriers of a for eign language,- even though the singer explained the meaning of each selec tion before she gave it. From the translations she gave, -the text of many of the songs was trivial, apart from the understanding of their association with the life of the art of great mu sical nation in its formative period. Through the medium of these folk songs Miss Llewellyn contrived to convince the listeners of the attract ive qualities of her voice, which may be briefly catalogued. The tone- is fresh, vital and sympathetic not of large volume, but of good carrying pow er. She Is happiest when she exploits the upper part of her -voice. In the lower registers the tone was some what uncertainly produced. On the other hand, the singer's heart was so evidently responsive to the music she sang that she gave the touch of feel ing and interest to her numbers, thatj Dy tne nature or tne concert lacicea somewhat in a pleasing -variety.. Miss Llewellyn has studied the folk music of Europe at first hand, and finds her favorite subject the Bohemian songs. For her group of English songs she dressed in an Old English peasant costume. An old Scotch ballad. "The Legend of the Two Sisters of Bin- The Rev. Herbert Booth Giving a "Word Painting."

McGaw today announced him self a candidate for nomination at the city primaries for the office of city commissioner of finance. "Unlike some other candidates I am not entering the race because I am being urged by my friends to become a candidate," said Mr. McGaw. "My friends are not urging me. I am a candidate because I want the job and because I believe I will give value re ceived for the salary the city will pay me in the event I am elected." Mr. McGaw, who resides at 919 West Fourteenth street, has lived in Topeka 27 years. For the last four years he has been deputy county assessor, hav ing for his district Kansas avenue from the Kansas river to Tenth ave nue, and the manufacturing plants of the city.

Boss, Grain Inspector, Turns Over $13,000 Profits. Practiced Eeononvjr by Doing A ray With Old Methods. i Fon the first time in lis history of 24 years the Kansas: state graii in spection department today advised the legislature: that it wished to turn over to the state some -profits from its op eration.. .v; -r- Today Senator Sutton of Barton county Introduced a bill for the state, department appropriating .315,000 of excess money from the state grain de partment inspection revolving, fund to the general revenue fund. Usually, the department has come before the legislature asking for a deficiency ap propriation which has at times amounted to as high as 324,000. Un der the management of George B. Ross, state grain inspector, the depart ment in the past two years has so much more than paid -expenses that it is able to turn over the 315.000 while still' keeping on hand about 31,000 more than the original 35,000 which Ross found on hand when he took charge. "The difference is chiefly due to the cutting down of the cost of oper ating 'the department," said Inspector Ross today, "although the revenue has picked up-since the last harvest which has been- handled with pretty amicable relations between'-'' the Kansas City brokers and the department. We took charge after the shortest crop year in many seasons and 1913, was not much better, so that, the"-first '.eighteen months business was done on an abt normally light grain movement. The policy of the department has been to win friends for state inspection, made necessary by the weakness of our state inspection law. Much of Ross' -saving has been on the department's payroll which for merly carried a lot of sinecures. He found 37. .inspectors on duty at Kan sas City but has managed to do the inspection since he took charge with an average of about ten there. An interesting sidelight on previous ad ministrations is found in some receipt books of the Republican state central committee which Ross found in the grain department's records. The stubs in these show where J. N. Dolley and J. C- Gafford, as officers of the committee, collected tribute to the Re publican state campaign fund of some thing over 31.000 from, emploww of the state gram department alone. "The state didn't make any indirect contributions to campaign funds through this department last year. declares Ross. "I have more Repub licans than Democrats among my in spectors and so far as I know none of them were called on tor assessments for any party in the last campaign. Weekly Bank Statement.

LOOK OVER "FEN" ISLE State Senate Committee to Leaven worth on Purchase Investigation. To investigate a proposal to buy the remaining 800 acres of the Peniten tiary island in the Missouri river for the object of acquiring additional farming land and coal land rights said to be very valuable, a special commit tee of the senate will spend Sunday and part of Monday at the state peni tentiary at Leavenworth. The inves tigation has been ordered on the sug gestion of Senator Vinton Stillings of Leavenworth county, who with mem bers of the state penal board laid the matter before the ways and means committee. The land will cost around 825.000. The state already owns two-thirds or about 1.6.00 acres on the island. The present plan is to buy the re mainder of the island, which belongs to heirs of a deceased proprietor. A subcommittee of the ways and means committee and three other senators who are practical farmers have been designated to make the investigation and report. They are Senators B. E. Wilson of Jefferson county, Carney of Cloud, Gray of Russell, Meek of Nemaha, Pauley of Marshall, Lam bertson of Brown. Simpson of Mc pherson and Wolf of Franklin. If their report is favorable an ap-v propriation bill will be prepared to provide for the purchase. The island fronts the penitentiary property at Lansing. TO TALK OVEnTEES.

Laughter will again reign supreme at the Grand tonight when "Baby Mine," unanimously styled by the New York press as the funniest play ever written, will have its local presenta tion. Margaret Mayo is the author and William A. Brady, Ltd.. is re sponsible for the production. "Baby Mine" ran for one solid year at Daly's theater. New York, and reached its second year at Sir Charlea Wyndham's Criterion theater, London. "Baby 'K.

There are tense mo ments broken only by calls of the sig nal men and officers. Suddenly the flag is hoisted signaling "commerce firing." The photographer, though uninitiated into what is coming, but with a premonition of something se vere, follows the law of self-preservation and grips the rail with one hand. With the other he turns the handle of the camera. Instantly the atmosphere cracks and half of it rushes up and strikes the camera man in the face. As he describes it, the MALE iN WCtf l I Art Schlemer, the Cartoonist, Dream or the Arts at the Novelty for First Half of Next Week. Mine" is sending a gale of laughter around the world. Lyman Howe's Pictures. Just as the superdreadnaught is more effective than the older battle Ships such as the Oregon and Olympia, so. too, is Lyman H. Howe's repro duction of naval life which comes to the Grand two days, commencing on Friday, February 19, matinee Satur day, more vivid than any illustrations that could be drawn by the most skilled artists or any descriptions by the most gifted writers. Howe's re production is replete with scenes of thrilling calculated to quicken the ride of every American at the match ess precision and painstaking co operation of men and ships. Here is depicted the greatest game in the world the battle practice of a fleet of superdreadnaughts. Decks are all stripped clean of everthlng movable. Including rails. Hardly a man is seen on deck. In the tops of the cage masts are the "spotting" officers, atop the turrets are the range-finders, while on the bridge are the commanding of ficers and Howe's photographer re- jolt seemed to snap his head half way around on his shoulders and at the same time gave him a two fisted punch full in the chest. A Pair of Sixes. The Omaha Bee had the following criticism this week on "A Pair of Sixes": "A Pair of Sixes" appeared at the Brandeis theater in Omaha last Aug ust, but it is such a sparkling, appeal ing little farce that a return engage ment even during the same season is welcome. The company which ap pears at the Brandeis this time will not suffer by comparison with the first upon the scene and the performance last night was appreciatively received. The theme of "A Pair of Sixes" has to do with two co-partners in business who become prepossessed of their- own importance. Their quarrels over their respective ability become so violent that their business suffers- and each desires a separation only to find the other unwilling to Sell out. Result: Mr. Lawyer appears with a plan to deal a poker hand, the winner to run the business for a year, the loser to act as the winner's personal servant during that time. George Nettleton, senior partner and more irate of the two, wins,' while T. Boggs Johns loses. Neither likes the change after two weeks of trial and both wish to rescind the agreement, but the lawyer declares there is no way out of it. Finally the sweetheart' of the junior partner-servant finds a way out of it and all is settled amicably. At the Hip. "Quo Vadis," that marvelous photo drama spectacle that has made the name of the producer. Mr. George Kleine, already famous on this con tinent and which has thrilled vast audiences week after week in New York, Chicago. Boston and Philadel phia and various other cities, is an nounced at the Hip for an engagement of one week with matinees every day. That a rare treat is in store for local amusement seekers is a foregone con clusion as such wonderful patronage and praise that has.been bestowed upon this attraction cannot be without merit. Many ministers and priests have been noticeable in the audiences par ticularly in New York and Chicago, and all have given the entertainment their- unqualified approval and en dorsement. Some of the. pictures are more than inspiring and imbue the spectator with an unbounded rever- ance for things that are sacred and spiritual. According to all accounts, one of the most striking figures among the great list of actors is the charac ter of Peter. It would be hard to find another player was so perfectly re alizes the general conception of this noble man. The features of the actor are perfect for the part and could not have been better had they been chisel led out of marble or painted specially for the production. His acting is at all times in keeping with the beauty of the character and many critics have pronounced the picture where he is preaching to the Christians in the cave. the most artistic and inspiring or the whole wonderful group. And certain ly no scene ever pictured or portrayed upon thes tage is more impressive or carries stronger weight for good than upon this stage is more impressive or Christ appears to Peter and commands him to return to Rome. At the Novelty. The program at the Novelty for the first three days of the week is com posed of five specially selected acts of interstate vaudeville, closing with the twelfth chapter of "The 320,000, 0O0 "M ystery." For the last half of the week the management has booked Tom Powell's Peerless minstrels, .who carry their own band and orchestra, for nn engagement of three days. This is not the Topeka Tom Powell, how ever. The Grazers. billed as novelty dancers, offer some clever toe danc ing. They intersperse music on the French horn and piano that is said to prove a close second to their dancing in quality. Billy Arnold presents a new idea in vaudeville entertainment in the trav esty "Curse You, Jack Dalton." It is different from any sketch, being a moving picture which apparently comes to life on the screen. Upon the command of Billy Arnold, who is the "live" actor, the characters in the sketch take off thier hats, smile, dry their tears, etc. A distinct novelty will be presented by the Moralis Brothers, two boys, who style their offering "A Bachelor's Diversion." It is a conglomeration of all sorts of juggling, from a cane to a billiard table. Hopkins and Axtell present a tink ling travesty entitled "Traveling." The offering is in two scenes; the first one is the experience of a young lady in a crowded street car; the second relates the experience of a young married couple traveling in a Pullman car for the first time.

One of the world's most famous operas, Mignon, comes to this nouse for two days, Monday and Tuesday. The adaptation by Ambrose Thomas from Goethe s masterpiece is too wen known to go into the details of this ad venturous gypsy story. The Shubert Brady Cor. have selected Beatrix Michelena and House Peters for the leading roles and they are supported by an all-star Shubert cast. Miss Michelena was good as "Lovey Mary." in Mrs. WiKKs of the Cabbage Patch, she was a sensation in, the title role of "Salomy Jane," but in Mignon she is a star of the first magnitude. On Wed nesday the Orpheum will have c unique souvenir for each lady patron, a large size photograph of Miss Mary Pickf ord. This becutiful likeness of the popular star is 14 inches high and finished in artistic manner., The bill for this date includes a Mary Pickford Decial and the fifth chapter or Run Awav June.

Friday and Saturday comes the acknowledged screen beauty, Vivian Reed, in "The New Wizard of Oz," in which she ap pears as the princess. This will be on interesting announcement to many as Miss Reed has recently won tne nign honor of being pronounced one of the most beautiful young women in motion pictures. Her rank may be estimated by her connection with Mrs. Leslie Carter, Nance O'Neil and other cele brated stars.

And not only that: within only a few days after each film Is produced in the photo play studios, the pictures are shown in capital city houses. Of course many of the minor European films are not presented here, but the Teat feature attractions of Italian and French companies are often shown in the larger houses. .Take the Hip theater for instance. The Hip is showing a variety of the bigger film attractions, most of them from the Kliene, Selig or Universal studios. The pictures are all in five, six, seven or more reels and are shown for a solid week at a time. The Orpheum theater is presenting photoplays from the World Film cor poration and also Reliance releases..

The Para mount pictures are exclusively feat ures. The Aurora theater presents nearly all of the pictures produced by the Oeneral Film company, which controls many different companies. .The Cozy theater uses the Mutual service. The Mutual Is another big film corporation, with half a dozen or more independent companies under its winp. A well known serial. "Our Mu tual Girl," has been running at the Cozy for many months. The Novelty theater shows pictures dally before the vaudeville perform ances. The Novelty is presenting "The Twenty Million Dollar Mystery," another serial, and also the latest luthe comedies. The Gem theater has Universal ser vice. The Universal film corporation" is probably the largest in the world and th-3 Gem takes a large percentage of their output. "The Trey of Hearts," a serial, and a Universal re lease, is being shown at the Gem. The Crystal theater also uses Uni versal pictures. At present that house is putting on a serial that is proving mighty popular, "The Master Key." Another widely known serial, "The Perils of Pauline," and "Lucile Love" j have be-n shown at the Crystal. The Best theater uses a- variety of good films. Most of them are from thv Pathe studios, the Eclectic, the Universal afid "Ihe General studios. The Eest has a nov-sl way of putting on these pictures, using two screens and showing two reels at the same time.

In Kansas City, Mo., and other cities, the same' picture can be seen at one thea ter one day, another the second, and so on. But in. Topeka, the films, fresh from the studios, are shown and sel dom repeated except on occasions where there is a universal demand. Topeka is fortunate, in that the films shown here are out of the fac tory but a few days or a week or two. A glance at the picture magazines can prove that. Many times local houses have obtained pictures on the day of their release. Serial pictures are quite popular here, as In other parts of the coun try, and there are a lot of serial fans in the city. Every picture show pre sents a feature daily. Some of them show the five and six reel attractions, but every house has at least one two or three reel production at every performance. Since January 1 the motion picture business, to the casual observer, seems to be picking up considerably. And Topeka is getting some corking good pictures and it would be hard to dis cover a popular photo play from an American studio that did not at some time or other make a debut here.

When speaking in public she seems to really look at her audience with her sightless eyes and seems to hear their sighs of won der and admiration as she tells them her joyous story ef rebirth and uplift into a world of form and color, of sight and sound. Her words come slowly as if weighed carefully, but not haltingly as if .with a great effort. She is so thoroughly en rapport with all that is going on in the world she keeps so well posted on the latest news it is not mere recital of a hackneved speech that is given to the listeners, but a stirring account, furb-; ished and enlivened with the hap-, penings m jne aay. one tauways av very' much alive always so eager for r- news of all that Is doing in the busyi world about her she Is never satis fied with yesterday's recital but adds rto it and makes today's as new and as fresh as if an entirely different mat ter from that of yesterday. In conversation she shows the same ability to entertain. She is as much at home with the news from Europe and talks as intelligently about the cause that led up to the German declaration of war last summer aa she It A k 1 s 4 does about the squirrels In the yard about her home in Massachusetts or the different kinds of mushrooms that ahe is able to distinguish by the sense of touch and smell. She is as keenly alive to the affairs of moment in Washington as she is to the building of new nests by her favorite birds on her front porch. Her sense of humor is as much in evidence as that of pro portion her visitors are not so amazed aa they are amused and en tertained; they seem for the moment to be conversing with a young lady as -well blessed with faculties of speech and hearing and sight aa they, and equally able to carry on the burden of the conversation of the moment.

Arthur Canner was elected oresident of a permanent peace organization at the closing session of the state-wide peace conference in representative hall late Friday. Resolutions were passed urging America and tne nations of the war to abandon the Bolicv of war. Calling upon the United States govern ment to use its influence towards bringing about universal disarmament and the establishment of International tribunal to settle by arbitration all difficulties between nations, and sue. gesting tne furnishing of a sufficient police rorce by the nations to enforce the decrees of the proposed tribunal. President Wilson was commended because of his efforts to preserve peace. It was urged that the United States cease to expend a vast sum of money for equipment for war, but instead pay out 5 per cent of the sum now spent for this purpose for spreaaing tne propaganda of neace. A motion was passed asking that the first Sunday in March be set aside as Peace Sunday. Another motion fa rored sending- the resolutions passed to all the nations of the world with the sanction of the secretary of state.

Phono SSI, Adv. That the ministry is the greatest business on earth- but that the aver age preacher hasn't time to get Into the "big-three ring circus" is the con tention of Dr. Roy B. Guild, pastor of the Central Congregational church, who spoke this week! before the mem bers of the Topeka Rotary club on "The Task of the Twentieth Century Minister.". Hardly, said Dr. Guild, a miniirtr whom I know can manage his work as a business man does. This is be cause people do not consider it a bus iness. Ninety-nine ministers out of a hundred can never do their best work because they "Must," as a big layman once expressed to me, "be carrying water for the elephants. They do not have time to get into the big three ring circus." Take for instance the largest church in Topeka. the First Methodist. When there was a mem bership of three hundred they con sidered the minister had all one man could do. That church has increased five fold and there is still one preach er with a small allowance for clerk hire. There is not a business institu tion in town that would follow that plan. If you men wish to have strong young men go into the ministry give them the vision of their task which I believe is fundamental to all other tasks, then so manage your churches that they will feel there is the same business sense displayed in managing them that there is in the Santa Fe of fices. "The average trustee of a church locks up his business sense" I am quoting "when he goes to a church meeting." I believe the cause of this is not understood. Ministers have had to look after all these things because business men think they have notning to aa. I wish my predecessor could success fully establish his ministers' union concerning which he fanoifullv wrote. men tne ministers of Toneka and of America instead of being harassed about finances, pestered about the lit tle details of church management. worn out by watching and oiling the machinery so that a petty church quarrel will not be like a handful of sand in the gear box, could like the prophets of old, know men as they are and have time to be with them and be their personal friends, know social conditions by personal study and with energies not burned out in minor labor proclaim the wrong' and the right with a passion that would prevail. xne Greatest HuBiness. With all Its difficulties, with all its A ive i ourseir A Chance Scene from "Qno Vacfla" humiliating phases, with all of the world's misunderstanding of it- it is the greatest business on, earth and In some' form. God willing, I shall be In it until I die. I am a Rotarian preacher because of that molto that is fundamental to all I have said: "He who serves best, profits most." Thus we will right the wrongs of human relationships and re-establish the home. The business of the preacher of the twentieth century is the same as the business of the preacher of the tenth century before Christ. David coveted the beautiful wife of Uriah. There fore he sent Uriah off to the battle. giving Joab orders to send him to a olace of great danger, then to with draw that he might be killed. His nlan worked and after tne time of mourning was over David married the widow. Nathan waa the court preacher and he preached a sermon to one. man, the king. Business of the Preacher. The business of the preacher Na than thirty millenniums ago was to make men repent of the sins they committed again their fellowmen and to prevail upon them to sin .no more. The business of the preacher was, is and will continue to be to establish rieht relations between all men. The prophets of old had the help of God's spirit enllgntening tneir conscience to see what was right and strengthen ing their wills to declare what waa rlurht. The modern preacher has the same help with the additional help of the example in preaching given oy tne If You have heard of "cribbed and cabined" souls. You do not want to be little and mean and low and selfish. Nobody loves a prison-house 1 and you do not covet the vision behind the bars. And yet with no thought of God or of the Higher Life the soul is imprisoned. To live without any sense of obligation to Deity or to the Great Father of us all is not good. Give yourself a chance Get a larger view of the world. Study to know the real values of life. You ate not going to stay here always. Live for the best in this life. Get .vision on earth and look toward that horizon which is crimson with the King of an other and a nobler day This is the appeal of the Church to you. This is why the men of the Churches urge you to Go to Church! Why not Go to Church? Go To Church Tomorrow! at the Hfe AD Next week. Carpenter of Naaareth. The books of prophecy of the Old Testament have ot recent years be come most interesting to people who thus read them. A great many think that the only use of these books was to trace out the messianic or some other prophecy. Now we know that they are great sermons like those preached by Savonarola in Florence, or Beecher in Brooklyn, or Parkharst in New York city, or Jane Addama In Chicago. They denounced the sins of the men ot their day. Jane Addama has come oat of the ranks of womanhood as the Shepherd of Tekoa, Amos came wandering in from the sheeptold. This great lay-, man cried oat aa did Lord Aahley, the seventh earl ot Shaftsbury. Most Know OoadHiosis. The twentieth century preacher must know what present day condi tions are. The day is past when he must separate himself from the mad ding world so that his meditations will not be disturbed. Undisturbed' his fancy may paint beautiful pictures of a heaven nereazter, out ne win not know much how to establish heaven here. Jesus did not pray thy king-; dom come- hereafter'-but "Thy king dom coma, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Tou can not Im prove the earth until you know its condition. There are two fields of study. In dividuals fashion society, society moulds Individuals." We must know men as they are in their individual life and as they are in their social life.

EDDYTORIUL ON ICE Here it is almost the middle of Fcbooary according to investi gashions whitch we have made half the most respeckted cittizens of Bingville aint put up their ke yet However, this aint surprisin thats the shiftless way they do every yr. Them in our midst who has got a lick of common sents left in their heads alius takes time by the fore lock as you might say and when the first freezin wether comes along the last of November or the 1st of December the ice on the ponds and Snake Crick, for in stants, gets to be in the naberhood of a ft thick or so then they go out and cut enuff ice to fill their ice houses with and thats all there Is to it. Then there is others to whitch we refer to in this edditoriul whoi prefers to set by the fire when itj is time to put up ice and when ice Is at its best. They keep puttin off puttin up ice from one wk to tother cause its sich a cold and dis agreeable job and bye and -bye while they are warmin their shins by the fire snow comes 2 or 3 ft thick on top of the ice and they have to remoove this snow afore they can cut enny ice and as a re sult they keep puttin it off and puttin it off from day to day until 1st thing they know spring is here, and the snow is melted and the ke is spungy and aint fit to put up and so they go without enny ice a tall. Now whooze. fault is this? Why its the fault of whoever is too doggone lazy good for noth ink not to put up ice, thats whose fault it is. Take Lent Quierly for instants. In December when ice was prime for puttin up Lem he playd check ers down to Hen Weathersbvs store by the fire day after day with Hod Quigly while other folks was cuttin their ice. Lem said he'd be cussed if he was a going to freeze ms ringers toes often hisself put tin up ice for ennybuddy let alone hisself. Lem said ruthern do that he calkilated he could manage to skimp along without no ice next summer and besides as cold as its been this winter with the ther mometer sulkin clean away down as low as 25 degrees below zero it diddent seem possibil that his same thermometer registerd 104 in the shade last July er ever wood agin and the very thort of ever necdin enny Ice In sich bitter cold wether as that was simply ridicklus in the extreme.

THEY had decided to take the yacht down to Atlantic City for a holiday. "It will be the celebration of your home-coming," said Pauline. "It may keep you out of mischief," said Harry. "I say it MAY." They stood on the North River pier of the Clendenning Yacht Club while the yacht the graceful' Mercedes, which old Mr. Marvin had so loved rode, white and scintillant, at anchor in midstream. At Harry's last remark Pauline turned her back upon him. "Harry," she said presently, 'I have decided not to marry you." "That is encouraging," he beamed. "Every thing you have decided to do in the last ten months you have NOT done, with such uni form success, that I Tejoice." Sho stamped her foot In sincere anger. "You have no heart no really good heart," she cried. "You don't know what tortures 1 went through. And you weren't there to help me." "I being in Chicago and you in Philadel phia, I should have reached out my strong right arm and saved you from your enemies, I suppose." "Well well you might have sent a tele gram." "To the gorilla, asking him not to hart you?" "Oh!" Her tone was of crushing wrath. "On-h!" Her tone was of delightful sur prise, as she saw, coming down the pier, three young naval officers In uniform. "Why, It can't be yes, it is Lieutenant Summers. I'm SO glad to see you." "Thank you," said the young ensign, who bad shared the dangers of the submarine maneuver. "We saw you rushing down here and we tagged along. "What's the matter with Harry?" "It is mental trouble. We are greatly worried about him," answered Pauline vin dictively. "Hello, Summers," said Harry, shaking hands and laughing in spite of himself. Summers introduced his comrades.

"Hope wo haven't Interrupted any happy -little fight.'' he added, eyeing Pauline and Harry. "No, Indeed merely postponed It," -said Pauline. "Harry says he is going to take me to Atlantic City on the yacht to keep me out of mischief.' You know how that mascu line way of treating women charms the women," she added. "I would pay no attention to him," de clared Harry's old chum. "He is merely looking for a target for his ill-temper. The United States Navy will protect you. By the way, we're looking for a target, too." "For YOUR ill-temper?" "No. For our battleships. The fleet is off for practise to-morrow, and one of the tubs we had bought went down on the way to the Hook." "Tubs? Do you shoot at tubs?" she asked. "Tubs like tuat one over there," answered Summers, indicating an atcient canal barge that lay at the next pier. "Tbat's our new target. We Just bought It." "Come on out to the boat and have dinner with us. We're not going to sail until to-, morrow." suggested Harry. "Sorry we can't. This is an urgent duty, and a hurry call. We must take the old rig out this afternoon and get a target on her before night." ;''7 --'i'' A long white motorboat was whirring up to the dock. "By George, that's a beauty!" said Sum mers. "Is that yours?" "Yes," said Harry. "Come on. Let the government perish and have a cup of tea to brace you up before you slaughter the canal boats." "Can't. Fos-i-ttve-ly." declared Summers. "Good-by," called he and his companions as Harry and Pauline got into the motorboat which had come from the yacht. "Ob, I forgot," said Pauline, as they put off. "I had decided not to go with you." "Another of those decisions." remarked Harry blandly. "You know. Polly, I was In peril in Chicago Just as you were in Phila delphia." Her face blanched in beautiful sincerity of alarm that brought a flush of repentance to his smiling face. "In peril you?" she said. "'In peril of buying an engagement ring.

"Girls NEVER say that about an engagement ring," she said. "But, of course, a girl doesn't think' an engagement ring means she is going to marry a man." In a minute they were at theyacht's com panionway, and. a sailor was at the foot ot it to help them up." The motorboat was made fast to the side and Pauline and Harry went on deck. "That's a little Jewel of a coat, Harry." she said. 'Will you let nie Have it? I want to run it myself." "No, I am sending it back to shore as soon as we are ready to leave. What do yon want to do begin another of these wild pranks tea minutes after the last one endedr "It's not a prank: to want to learn to run a motor boat," she answered. "Sophie Mo Callan has one that she races in all the re gattas." "But rm not going to marry Sophie McCat lan. I am going to marry you, and.

They probably know more about a motorboat than yon do any way." "Probably," he said curtly, turning away.. "Oh, no I didn't mean to make you cross." She seemed to capitulate. "I want YOU to teach me. Harry. You will, won't you?" She had clasped his arm as he was stamp ing down the deck, and the lovely nearness of her had the old effect. "Polly! You KNOW you can always do as you please. I can't control you because I love you. But WHY don't you SOMETIMES get an idea that Is sensible?" "'Men don't like sensible women," said Pauline gravely. His laugh lost him another trench in the verbal battleground. "Well, if I show you how to run the thing will you promise not to do anything foolish with it?" he surrendered. "Assuredly. I shall never do anything foolish. You know perfectly well that I am only seeking material for my stories, dear Harry. Why do you always insinuate that I am a deliberate trouble-maker?" He turned and caught her hands. "No no. little sister-sweetheart," he said. "If it were only deliberate, you wouldn't do it- It's impulsive and rash and. foolish and danger ous; that's why 1 seem to he always hound ing you and trying to stop your pet schemes. But I'll show you how to run the motorboat In the morning.'' They had been leaning over the rail in the dusk of the late Autumn day. their eyes cast over the gray bay waters to the lights of the great Manhattan wall sparkling crisply into glow and the lights of the river craft pour ing their little moonlike streams arcoss the waves.. They did not know that in the shadow of the after-deck stood Raymond Owen, ap parently as casual and unconcerned an ob server as themselves of the river night scene. "Five o'clock, called Pauline, as she moved down the deck toward the cabin after bidding Harry good-night. "You know we sail at noon." "Five o'clock is all right for the motorboat, but don't say that I know anything about sailing at noon. I told you that" "You told me a lot about the automobile business and the necessity of your being in Paths Players Company's office, but this is a yacht, not an automobile, and I'M GOING TO KEEP YOU ON IT." "The: first' evidence being that you want to take me from It to show you a motorboat." "Exactly. No one not even the Marvin Motor Company can call you back from a motorboat" "1 see. Good-night," he laughed, following her' a little way and then lingering at the ran again to finish his cigar. He saw Owen down the deck and pondered. "'Owen here, as usual," he mur mured' to himself. "1 wonder why he never suspects him. I've half a mind to take her in the motorboat to-morrow and land her ashore and hide her in a de serted house a prisoner my prisoner," But he was idly smiling ai off idea as he moved into the cabin, Raymond Owen was also pub log ai cigar and apparently enjoy lag the evening air when he stop ped at the companionway at the foot of which lay the motorboat But the leisurely peace of his manner was not duplicated in his brain. He looked up and down the) deck. The sailors had long ago retired to their .bunks. The night hung, hushed, and only distantly agleam. around him. He moved to the top of the companionway. Three quick steps and he was crouching, half-way down, his evil face on a level with the deck. Not a sound detained him. He climbed down. The buttoned canvas cover of the motor-boat Impeded his operations only for a moment He crawled in under the cover. If there had been any light In the pit of the boat It would have flashed upon a delicate gimlet saw, which the secretary drew, from his pocket "This time I act for mysehV he whispered, with a sense of triumph. "This time there will be no flaw." A brief burring sound and the gimlet cut through to the water. Owen could feel the seep upon his hands as he widened the leak a little with the saw. A sound on the deck above made him crouch under the can vas with the terror of his cow ardice. It was .the sound of a dog's bark, followed by a rush of light footsteps, the swish ot a skirt and low, musical laughter as Pauline recaptured Cyrus, her pet bull-terrier. Cyrus barked In rapturous con- tent as she pettingly chastised him for his flight from the cabin door. "Well, I should think so! Cyrus was trying to run away." "Uyrus? Do you mean to say you brought that dog along?" "Good-night, Harry.' said Pau line, significantly.

Into the orifim ha hii cut in the bottom of the light untrammeled vesseL With no weight in it he knew the seepage would be slight and Pauline and Harry would go far before danger confronted them. But it was a vital cut that he had made, and, under speed, he was sure, the small craft would be overwhelmed in a bursting of the clogged hole as sudden as the pop of a cork. Owen climbed back up the companionway and went to bed, peacefully contest "I want to run it myself." "Not quite yet" "Oh, yes, Indeed." Insisted Pauline. "Why do you suppose I asked you to show me how?" They were speeding down the river in the motorboat in the first flush of the Fail mornv ing, and his firm hands on the wheel of the powerful craft yielded reluctantly to hers. He held close to her so close In fact that when a wisp of her golden hair blew across his temple he stole abruptly an unauthorized kiss. She turned upon him a look of disdain. "How masculine!' she said, with a steady eye on the progress of the boat Suddenly she reached down, caught up a piece of waste and dabbed it at him. "I was only trying to explain," he began, with a manner of deep seriousness." "I understand everything perfectly now. she replied. "You will notice that we are on our way home to the yacht" "Because I kissed you?" "Of course. How did you dare?" "Why, POLLY!" His tone was of genuine alarm. "You kiss me good morning, and you kiss me good-by. even when I'm not going anywhere but to work." "But I don't kiss you good-morning in front of the glasses of those horrid warships over there, and I would Just like to tell you that if Lieutenant Summers or his friends ever say a word about seeing what you did I shall marry a Hottentot and live the rest of my life in a bamboo hut" "Well. I apologize. I didn't think about Summers." "Men NEVER think until a woman does something silly." "They haven't time to think of anything else." "You may leave the ship, sir," command ed Pauline, as she drew the little craft not altogether unskilfully, to the yacht's com panionway. "And you?"

Laughing at his dismissal, but Btill hes itating to accept it, Harry climbed the com panionway. Pauline consoled turn with a wave of the hand as she sent the motorboat shooting off again into the open bay. "I think, though, we ought to follow her," said Harry to Owen, as he came on deck. "By the way, Owen, you are the ultimate and supreme boss of that child. CAN'T you do anything to prevent these risks? You know they ARE risks. Some one is t-ying to do away with her and we let her venture into any trouble that she happens to think is interesting. I don't believe we are doing our duty." Owen's plastic face melted Into lineless amusement -"I have never believed that there was any serious or concerted attempt to harm Miss Marvin," he said. "If I had thought so. I would have used all the power of the police, the courts and the Marvin fortune to offset It. But always, as you know, the little ad ventures have come out safely. Miss Marvin has not been hurt; the 'pranks,' as you call them, amuse her. What should I do?" "Order her to stop on penalty of being taken to court as a lunatic," said Harry hot ly. "You know perfectly well that all of her real perils and there have been many came through just some such affair as this." "As what?" "Driving off alone in a motorboat Look." He passed his glasses to Owen, who gazed through them with an interest the intensity of which Harry did not understand. "She has the dog with her," said the sec- retary, returning the glasses. "Yes." said Harry, "she seems to prefer its companionship to mine. What the deuce!" he added in a sudden exclamation: '"My feet are wet!"

"I don't dip in the sea with BOTH feet when I'm climbing from a well-mannered motorboat to a sound yacht in smooth wa ter, replied Harry. He looked again, with a new interest, through the glasses, to where the motorboat guided by Pauline, was speeding down the bay. He could see the little bull-terrier in Pauline's arms. She seemed to be trying, to teach it to run the boat for its pawa were placed upon the wheel. "T'd like to know how I got these wet feet persisted Harry as he walked down the deck to the cabin.

Pauline's shoes were wet too. She looked, about on the bottom of the bot for the source of the moisture. There was only a thin, dull coating of water in the hold such as might have come from a heavy wave had the weather been blowing. But there was no weather to speak of and there were no waves. Pauline's bewilderment soon gave place to alarm. She left the dog with its paws on ths wheel and moved forward. She felt in every crevice of the boat's bottom. Suddenly she lunged forward In eager fear. Her hand had touched drenched wadding. The touch was enough to loosen the this stopper of waste that Owen had placed ia the hole he made. Next moment Pauline was striving in vain' to press back the plug, but it was too late. The water, urged is by the rush of the swift boat came spouting through the hole. Pauline crept back and caught up a hand ful of clean waste that lay beside the engine. She tried to press this into the rift It was instantly soaked and useless. She became desperate. For a moment ahe stood up and gazed out over the peaceful waters. But she had sped the little craft so far that shs was beyond the bay, beyond all sight of sail or steamer, save a low gray wall of slowly moving craft that marked the line of battle ships out for target practise.

TCPIA DTLT JOTCIJ AL CVTUZDAY WflZHlZi in the Religious World What a Child Heard In Church. The International Sunday School Les son for February 14 Is "Samuel Called to Be a Prophet." I Sam. 1:24-28: oh. 3. (BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.) A distinguished scientist was speak ing to a large company of influential men, and as he met one eminentciti zen after another he was visibly im pressed. The scholar's embarrassment was rather amusing, for, after all, these men to whom he spoke were at the wrong end of the seventy-year span to be permanently influenced by his message. He might more reasonably have been overwhelmed had he been talking to the same number of chil dren. For it is the person who in fluences childhood who affects the fu ture of the world. That scientist's mistake is being daily repeated by the organized Church. She is running after the great and mighty. She is more pleased to have the partial approbation of a millionaire or a statesman than to have the life devotion of a child. Down in Augusta, thirty years ago. two per sons were taken into the Presbyterian Church; one an old man of seventy, and the other a little boy. Pastor and elders were delighted over the acces sion of the old man: it was a victory for the Church. The other was only a boy. The old man has died Ions since, but that little boy is the leader of the organized laymen of the Southern Presbyterian Church, who are assem bling this month in two great conven tions in the Southland. A Scotch min ister once said to a friend, who asked him about his accessions at the pre ceding communion. "Only a boy. But that boy was Robert Moffet, the great missionary. The beautiful story from the Old Testament, which is the day's Sunday school lesson, calls us back to funda mentals and the relative importance of the mother, the child and the Church, the three greatest factors in civilization. A study of this idyl may freshen our ideals for our own times, and turn some persons back to a read ing of the stories of the Old Testament, which make a permanent impression on the imagination of childhood. The Seamy Side of Polygamy. Our latest problems may gain light from this old, old story. There is no denying that the tendency today is to loosen up historic family ties,-and to return, outside of the law, to the laxer code of the polygamist's days and lands. "Advance" thinkers on social questions who are talking so loosely about the relation of man and woman, need to look deeper into what is in volved in a plurality of wives, or a multiplicity of "affinities." The under side of polygamy is scum-covered with the worst- senti ments of which tlSfe human mind is capable. Jealousy, rivalry, fear and deceit go hand-in-hand with plural marriage or its equivalent Elkanah had two wives. Hannah, the child less one, he loved the better for no man ever loved two women alike. The rival jeered and taunted the childless favorite, and none of the clothes and jewels that the husband lavished on her could compensate for lack- of a child at her breast. What the Shrines Signify. Hannah is a normal type of wom anhood, not only in her religious in stincts, but.'Stso'm her' yearnlnB for her own children. The woman who wilfully turns aside from motherhood is a worse citizen to her country than the bewhiskcred anarchist who throws bombs and preaches revolution. That type of womanhood Is commoner in. these artificial, modern days than ever before. The deepest desire of the women of the world, taking them in the large, is to have sons. Before my mind there pass pictures of the shrines at which I have seen the women of many races praying for this supreme boon. One Japanese shrine in lovely Nikko was broken down with the weight of Inscribed wooden prayers heaped upon it. The women of Babylonia make pilgrimage to the reputed tomb of Ezra on the Tigris river, below Bag dad, to pray for eons. I have seen Mack Sudanese parents" traveling to the antiquities at Cairo to make the same prayer. The Answered Prayer. Many childless women are aa griev ously misunderstood as Hannah when she was worshipping in Shiloh. Every fibre of her being breathed one over mastering petition. In the outer court of the tabernacle she was praying with such intensity, that she forgot her surroundings. Her lips moved but no words came forth. Watchful old EU, the priest, thought she was intoxi cated and rebuked her. Thus may inweit motives be attributed to highest actions. When he learned the truth, he like every true minister, comforted the disconsolate worshiper. Hannah's prayer was answered and she covenanted with Jehovah that her son should be Hte for divine service all his life. Multitudes of men are in the gospel ministry today because tmir mothers dedicated them in child hood. It imparts new sanctity to motherhood to train her child for God and country. This high service exalts life and calls forth the noblest pas sions. It was only yesterday that a father told me that he had given two of his sons to the army of one of the nations now at war and the younger to the deadly artillery. He said, "We believe it is a sacred cause." The Child In Church. The beautiful picture of the child Samuel ministering in the tabernacle is loved by artists and story-tellers and teachers and childhood. It is an obvious reminde for our own day mat me cniid should be in church. Youth's fair flowers are a better tem poral offering than bullocks or goats or doves. Surely God would rather hear the childish voices of praise raised In His house than the trained notes of high-salaried choirs. Great Britain has inaugurated "A Children at Church movement. America might emulate this.. There was work In the old Shiloh tabernacle for the child Samuel: errands to run fnr reii. the priest, and a daily routine of small tasks to be fulfilled.. Nothing is so useiui in a nouse or an institu tion as a small boy of the riant sort- Flitting about the outer courts of the tabernacle we again see Samuel in his linen ephod. Every stitch testi fied to a mother's love and pride. Year by year the parents came up to Shiloh to sacrifice. The child in the tabernacle belonged to Hannah and Elkanah and to Jehovah in partner ship. "And the child Samuel 'grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah and also with men." That record was later written almost liter ally of another Child, who became the world's Minister and Saviour. The Voice In the Night. The climax of the story of the child is told best in the words of the Book itself: "And the child Samuel ministered unto Jehovah before Eli., And the word of Jehovah was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision. And it came to pass at that time, when EU was laid down in his place, (now his eyes had begun to wax dim, so that he could not see,) and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Stuel was laid down to sleep, in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was; that Jehovah called Samuel, and he said. Here am I. And he ran unto EU. and said, Here -am I; tor thon calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. And Je hovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am 1; for thou calledst me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.- Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither was the word-of Jehovah yet revealed unto him. And Jehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went toEH, and said, Here am I: for thou calledst me. And EU per ceived that Jehovah had caUed the child. Therefore EU said unto Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be if He call thee, thou shalt say, Speak, Je hovah; for-Thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. "And Jehovah came, and stood, and caHed as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said. Speak; for Thy servant heareth. And Je hovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Isreal at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. In that day I will perform against Ell all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the be ginning unto the end. For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he restrained them not. And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with Sacrifice nor offering forever. l',-And.Samu' lay 'until the morn ing, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel fear ed to show Eli the vision. Then call ed Samuel, and said Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I. And he said, What is the thing that Jehovah hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that He spake unto thee. And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let Him do what" seemeth Him good. "And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and did let none of his words fall to, the ground. And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to bo a prophet of Jehovah. And Je hovah appeared again in Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed Himself to Samuel, in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah." Building on Bed Rock. Terse Comments on the Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic of the Young People's Societies Christian En deavor, etc. for February 14. "The Solid Foundations of Life." I Cor. 3:9-15. (BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.)

An old controversy seems to be ris ing anew in America with this new year. The trend of the times has of late seemed" to assure It. but the im mediate occasion it; the gage of battle thrown down to "Billy" Sunday by the Unitarian denomination, in connection with the meetings now under way in Philadelphia. The old-new issue is the character and mission of Jesus of Nazareth. It is the controversy of a century ago which resulted In the es tablishment of the Unitarian denomi nation. Whether Jesus is the Christ, the only-begotten Son of the living Ood, man's only Redeemer and Lord, is the question at stake. The issue is well raised. It cannot be too clearly stated or too definitely joined, for thereby, the muody-mindedness of most men upon doctrinal questions may be cleared up. Sheer indiffer ence or culpable vagueness is the fault of the day when it comes to the ques tion, "What think ye then of Christ?" The growing debate, aided by this present Christian Endeavor topic, will help Christians to find themselves de claring with Paul "Other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." Out of all controversy and discussion the Christian sees emerging in new clear ness the figure of Jesus, his Saviour, and he cries with the poet, "O Christ, He Is the fountain. The deep, sweet Well of love! The streams on earth I've tasted, More deep I'll drink above: There to au ocean fullness His mercy doth expand. And glory, glory ilwelleth In Emmanuel s land." Better solid foundations than beau tiful cornices. 'Ware how you weaken force and faith alike. Reason and reverence first must learn to kiss. The centuried growth it is which props the walls. Tear down the ivy, and the ruin falls. Alfred Austin. Renan, the brilliant Frenchman whose "Life of Jesus" is a landmark in the literary world, and whose vis ion was so strangely clear in some matters, yet clouded in others, pays this tribute to the Man who is life's best foundation: "Whatever may be the unexpected phenomena of the future, one thing is certain: Jesus will never be surpassed. His worship will renew it3 youth forever; His story will call forth tears without end; His sufferings will continue to melt the noblest hearts: among the sons of men, there hath not been born a no bler than Jesus, who is called the Christ." The house that will not stand storms is a dangerous habitation even for pleasant days. Any fair weather philosophy of life is perilous: the test of every scheme of living is this: has it such foundations that it will stand steady and sure when the storms come? Ten thousand true souls have declared, after a full life's testing, that the Gospel of Jesus suf fices to the end. The late Dr. Charles E. Deems cried, with his last utter ance, "My faith holds out." Every time I watch the beginning of the erection of one of the great city "skyscrapers it preaches anew to me this lesson: Before you can be gin to build high, you must dig deep. Ere it is anything else, a tall building is a great hole in the ground. Foun dations are the builder's first concern. The height and strength of every structure, whether it be constructed of steel or of spiritual Qualities, is en tirely dependent upon the nature of its foundations. Recently I have had occasion to learn, with real distress of mind, that a certain business man whose name ia often in jthe public prints, is really despised for hia crooked methods by the leaders In the life of his city. While a distinguished lawyer was pil lorlng this man in- my hearing, I found myself making a mental com parison between the value of the mon ey this, man has -made and the repu tation he has lost. He has built on a corrupt foundation, and now .when his building is at its height, it threatens to crash- to the ground.. Had he reared the structure in Integrity, it would have brought .him honor instead of dishonor. t J Build -today, then, strong and sore, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure ShaU tomorrow find its place. Longfellow. Better strong than shining. A life bullded on love lasts. That foundation stands sure. Savonarola's great prescription for liberty is simple love: "First of all love God, love your neighbor. love one another, love the general welfare:' and if ye have this love and union among ye, true liberty wlil be yours." SEVEN SENTE?rCE SERMONS. Life is not days and years: Life is love and labor. P. H. Newnham. To try things oft, and never to give over, doth wonders. Bacon. The noblest mind the best content ment has. Spencer. Lose no time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all un necessary actions. Benjamin Frank lin. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. Ps. 57:11. God bids thee tarry now and then; for bear the weak complaint; God's leisure brings the weary rest, and cordial gives the faint. Margaret E. Sangster. Not every man according to his mood and fancy, according to other people's giving or other people's ability, but "every man according to his ability," H. C. Trumbull.

In whose name did Hananiah say he uttered his prophecy? 29. Who was the false prophet In Babylon? 30. How did Jeremiah communi cate with the Jews who had been al ready taken to Babylon? Jeremiah was of priestly descent and lived in the little village of Ana theth, a short distance from Jerusa lem. His book contains abundant no tices of how he lived and the treat ment he received. He was com manded not to marry and to form no social ties. Pashur, the priest, caused him to be brutally treated and put into the stocks (chapter 20). King Johoiakim contemptuously cuts his written roll of prophecy and throws it into the fire (chapter 36). Never did a man who loved his country and his God have more indignities heaped upon him for trying to be faithful to bojh. The prophet's call took place in the 13th year of the reign of Josiah, 626 B. C. and five years before the book of the Law was found in the temple. The call was not only in Judah but to the nations and kingdoms "to root out, and pull down and to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant." An old order of things was to pass away and a new one to begin. Sells. MRS. C. F. MENNINGER. CHURCHKOTICES.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation, for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The Btata Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur- SCEMBER: Associated Press. Audit Barem of escalations. American Newspaper Publishers' Association. If Speaker Stone's no-work-no-pay order for house employees were en forced with all state employees, the monthly pay checks received by some of them would be of rather sickly proportions. Now will William Allen White be good! His characterization of the leg islature as a "jitney" affair, brought a response from one of the senators that he is a "jitney politician." Tit for tat is evidently no longer a game confined to childhood. Nor was an explicit explanation necessary that Mr. Bryan did not have a hand in the preparation of the recent notes sent by Uncle Sam to Great Britain and Germany. Their tone is not at all in tune with the peaceful tenor of his way. Why not extend the provisions of the bill before the legislature that pro poses to permit Wichita to elect Its city officials for four year terms to all of the first and second class cities? Such a reform woulJ be as popular with the much-harassed voters in To peka and other Kansas cities as it evidently is with those In Wichita. In all probability. Uncle Sam won't get any more for his money out of the $104,000,000 army appropriation bill that is on its way through congress than he has of late years out of the annual army appropriations that have been almost as large. And that hasn't been much compared with what the European nations have obtained with the money they've devoted to military purposes. It doesn't take the seventh son of a prophet forecast with consider able assurance that nothing will come of the peace conference that has been called to meet at The Hague In the near future' by the International So cialist Bureau. The Socialists of Eu rope might have nipped the great war In the bud had they stuck religiously to their faith and refused to partici pate in it or give it their support. William Allen White, Emporia's far famed theoretical statesman, is becom ing more cautious as he grows older. In his criticism of the legislature he found occasion to use the expression "tinker's dam," and he was careful lm. mediately to set down Its definition so as to show, presumably, that it is In no sense a cuss word. Bill almost cussed the legislature on one occasion and he came near being fined a bean sandwich for lese majeste. Efforts are being made by the leg islature to frame a measure that will make it easier for assessors to round up tax dodgers. Or, at least, this is the purpose of the bill in question. But It isn't likely to bear much fruit, even If It becomes a law. The tax dodging evil will never we suppressed to any extent until a system of taxa tion Is developed that Is reasonably Just and equitable. And the Kansas system is far from such a standard. United States ships must be respect ed. Is the gist of what is termed the "solemn warning" of the Washington authorities to the European belliger ents. But solemn warning after sol emn, warning from the same source has been dispatched during the past couple of years to divers Mexican leaders without anything being done about them when they were entirely Ignored. So the European belligerents will probably pay whatever attention they please to the solemn warning in ques tion and that will be the end of It. Of the many proposals presented to the legislature for amendments to the constitution, one of the four which passed the house provides for in creased pay for the members of the legislature. All of which is further evidence that in this land of the free and home of the brave everybody is looking out for himself first, last and all the time. But, at that, the Kansas legislator is assuredly entitled to i larger pay than 13 a day. Further' more, it is little short of ridiculous that the pay of the legislative employees should be identical with that of, the members. Contemplate, for instance. the second assistant superintendent of waatepaper baskets receiving the same stipend aa the speaker of the house. SIX MONTHS OP WAR. Six months after the outbreak of the world war the outstanding fact was that peace seemed as distant, al most more distant than it' did in Sep tember, writes Frank H. Simmonds In the American Review of Reviews for February in an article entitled "Half a Tear of World War." Tet if the close of the conflict remained still a subject for speculation, it: was now plain that the issue had been deter mined in September and that ail that had happened since the battle of the Marne had In fact been the natural consequence of one more decisive bat tle of the world. On fields and hills but little distant from the plain where Roman civilization turned back Attila, the German bid for world supremacy, the kaiser's chance to play Napoleon were abolished. In the opening month of the war there was a chance, a real chance that Germany might destroy France be fore Russia was up, force Russia to make terms before England was ready and then, master of the continent as the France of Napoleon, renew the duel with the British empire that France had abandoned precisely a century before. After the battle of the Marne the chance had vanished. Week by week, month by month, Rus sian. British, French military power developed, increased. On January 20, Germany held less of France than on September 1; instead of a 100,000 British troops, the advance guard of a fresh million were already in Flan ders; French troops were breaking out in Alsace. f In the period between the battle of the Marne and January 1915, Ger many had made three great cam paigns. On the Tser the very flower of her troops had gone down under the eyes of the kaiser in a frantic at tempt to gain the French coast cities, to grasp the eastern shore of the Straits of Dover, to get within reach of the hated Englishman's home. A first attempt to seize Warsaw, to crush Russia, France being inde structible, had failed before the Polish capital. A second offensive into Po land, after great victories and terrible losses had come to a halt before the Bzura. Six months after war had begun Germany was still faced by three great nations, their military force wholly unshaken, their armies still gaining in numbers, their deficiencies in artillery, in machinery all but made good. Such advantage as her pre paredness had given her, the credit balance in her favor, was now ex hausted. In the same period her Austrian ally had three times been beaten almost to her knees by Russian victories, was now facing an invasion across the Carpathians Into Hungary. Twice, too, the Hapsburg emperor had seen splendid armies ignominiously routed, destroyed by the hated Serbs, who in their turn were preparing to flow over the Danube Into Hungary. Around the world the German hopes had equally proven vain. The Turk had suffered disaster, the Holy War had fallen to empty nothing, the South African revolution had flickered out as an abortive revolt, with no other permanent consequence than to insure the loss of German Southwest Africa. In Asia her colony had dis appeared into Japanese hands, in the Pacific her islands were lost irrevoca bly, in Africa her remaining colonies were being slowly but steadily con sumed by her enemies as one eats an artichoke, leaf by leaf. To balance this, Germans could still point to conquered lands and prov inces. In Poland, in Flanders, in Champagne her lines held, her coun ter attacks regained lost trenches regularly. In Alsace, along the Aisne, in Artois and Belgium, Anglo-French atacks, ambitious offensive, were speedily beaten down. East and west Germany was still a match for her enemies, but east and west the mo ment for victory had passed, irrevoca bly passed, east and west German operations more and more tended to ward the defensive. What Gettysburg had been to the south, the Marne was now proving to have been to Germany. Nowhere in January was there the slightest sign of new promise for Ger man victory and what was true in January had been true in the earlier months. Half a year of war had given his tory one more decisive battle, for Europe conceivably the greatest in permanent meaning since Waterloo. In that battle It had been decided that Europe should still be European and not Prussian. At the Marne, France had saved herself and Europe; after the Marne the problem was how long It would take Europe to conquer Ger many, and in January it was unmis takable that as yet Europe had made no progress. TECHNICALITY OF THE LAW. It is because of the inability of any system of knowledge to entirely com prehend and cover the field of its subject-matter, when applied to it. that error exists in all science, de clares William W. Brewton in the February Case and Comment, the lawyers' magazine. It should, as a consequence, appear perfectly ob vious. if we consider the cause of this defect, that all sciences must neces sarily be characterized by it, inas much as this cause, which we have al ready deduced, is fundamental, ele mental, and universal. But although these statements are necessarily true, the technicality, as a fault. Is attributed by the world chiefly to that particular science known aa the law. Tet this ia large ly because of the custom of following superficial criticism without investi gating it. It would be difficult to say which of the established sciences is most technical. But it should not be said that any one ia, without first making sure that every investigation has been made of the science itself, in relation to all other sciences. The chief error, in the past, has been the overlooking of the fact that the law ia but a part of human knowl edge, and that its empirical side Is heir to the same defects which characterise this side of all other departments of the same totality of human knowl edge. So that the same essence of error must be -true of all sciences, howsoever imperfectly this fact has been heretofore apprehended. And the overcoming of this error, the di minishing of this principle of the technicality, lies in the interrelation and co-operation of all the sciences, in remanding to the source of imper fection in one the truths gathered from the investigation of others.

An excellent analysis, from the Phillips County Post: Most of the current war news still continues to be so authentic that it is impossible to decide how it is going or who has the lead. A traveling man who had spent a most enjoyable evening with a town girl, tells the Horton Headlight-Com mercial, went into the hotel a few minutes later and remarked: "Well, even if it is way after midnight, I must write a letter to my wife. One of the children is sick at home so I want to do all I can to encourage the missus." U. R. O'Lyre, who has a column headed Hard Boiled Pickups in the Cassoday Times, tells this one: A few days ago a young lady of about sweet sixteen (non-resident) made connec tions at the depot about five minutes before the 10:15 passenger whistled for Rosalia. Somebody yelled "yuh'll-haf-ttu-urry." That always gets a young lady excited. She purchased her ticket all right and managed to get her purse stowed away safely with out spilling her change on the floor. Then she took a good long breath and calmly walked out on the platform to gaze at the scenery. But alas, there was her trunk unchecked and the train in sight. The thermometer immediately went to 100 in the shade when she made a lunge for the ticket window and exclaimed, "Oh Mr. Agent, jny-my-tr I have a chunk to treck I mean I have a treck to chunk, I mean I have Oh rats hur ry up, don't you see I have some chaggage to beck, you bloomin'yaller oammer:" By tne time she got "un tangled her check was ready and she rushed out of the waiting room "looking daggers" at Harry Clark who was over in the corner sitting on the safety valve to keep from yelling.'

Gossip is a deadly gas that is often ratal to friendships. A man's wisdom isn't as interesting as a woman s intuition. If the world doesn't understand a man it calls him a crank. Any girl who thinks as much of a man as she does of herself will do to tie to. Even after a man sees where he made a mistake he keeps' right on making more. These ultra modern skirts are evi dently built for deep snows, as they are about knee deep. After a girl gives her hand in mar riage she may discover later that she put her foot in it. When a man tells a joke to half a dozen women and they all laugh but one, that one is his wife. Most people would rather blame a mart for what he doesn't do than give him credit for what he does. A woman may not accept a pro posal of marriage, but she always ad mires the good judgment of the man who made it- It is always more or less of a shock to a woman when she discovers later in the game that her husband really did not know what he was about.

It was impossible for her to use the hand next to the banister, but with almost unbelievable agility she shot the other hand across and saved herself. "However could you do that quick ly enough?" asked her after the first Hurry had subsided. "Because I had to," she answerea. rather grimly, with a slight shudder for the danger passed. And she was right. "Had to, was the occasion and the strength wrap ped up in one package. If she had been asked to see how quickly she could move her hand across she could never have attained that speed, ut along came the need and with it the ability.

The doctor praises her work highly and says fte could never have saved the patient without such excellent co-operation. If the girl had been asked a month ago to do some of the simpler sick room tasks, she would have shrunk back and said, "I can't." But along came necessity and pushed her forward. She had no time nor opportunity to shrink back. "I can't." became "I had to." She did the thing and did it well. In all of us there are reserves of strength which neither our friends nor we ourselves guess mat we possess. We Are AU Stronger Than We Realize.

Nature has tapped the re serves and we are flooded with a strength we knew not of. Never attempt to measure yourself against any difficulty mat looms up in the future. You do not know either the measure of the difficulty or your own measure. Approach the future fearlessly and with the necessity will come the strength.

On the morning of St. Valentine's day the boarders at Mrs. Munson's gathered around the long table with perhaps an unusual interest in the morning's mail. But the postman was late and breakfast lagged. Once or twice Mrs. Munson had thrust her sharp nose into the room and had even asked Mr. Root if there was anything more he wished. Now, as a matter of fact, Mr. Asa Root ate a birdlike breakfast and never had been known to take a sec ond helping of anything; but this morning, the postman not having ar rived. Mr. Root smiled blandly at his landlady and informed her that be would take a second cup of coffee. Second helpings of anything being rare at the Munson table, Mr. Root's fellow boarders grinned appreciatively when Selma thudded heavily in with a second cup of a muddy mixture, po litely called coffee. It was notable that Mr. Root never even glanced at the replenished cup. His twinkling blue eyes were fixed on the basement window, where one could glimpse the first appearance of the postman s gray-clad legs ere he descended into tne areaway. "Expecting a valentine, Mr. Root?" asked mischievous Ethel Raymond, the little stenographer, who was to be married at Easter. Mr. Root blushed furiously and looked into his coffee. "I am looking for an important let ter." he saidaeverely. "Valentines are important," teased' Ethel, for she liked the oulet little gray man who had been bookkeeper for twentv-five years in a aowntown warehouse. Mr. Root's bachelor quarters at the top of the house had been, spoken of as a model or com fort by the men of the Munson board ing house but the women would have it that the little man must be lone some, and among themselves they had secretly decided that It would be fitting romance if Mr. Root married Miss Ida Wingfield, the school teacher who sat at the end of the table. Miss Winafield. once' pretty, now pale and tired, with rather a distin guished air lent by her abundant gray hair, always played Mr. Root's ac companiments when he brought his violin down to the parlor. "There's the postman now!" cried Ethel Raymond eagerly. A loud knock came at the basement door and Selma plodded slowly to take the handful of letters. Selma could not read English, so the mail was 'given into Mrs. Mun son's toil worn hands. and that lady proceeded to distribute it with exas perating slowness. "A card for Mr. Henshaw humph, it's only an ad., Mr. Henshaw!" pass ing it over to that indignant young clerk. "A missionary paper for Mrs. Dodd and a letter from your moth er. Miss Raymond and here's a val entine for Miss Winfield! Good land!" Mrs. Munson's contempt of the tender missive was only exceeded by Ida Wlngfleld's embarrassment. "One of my pupils," she murmured as she hid it in her lap. "More fools they!" commented Mrs. Munson tartly, "to spend money on a handsome embossed envelope like enough it's a comic Here's a valentine for you Mr. Root I declare, I never see such foolishness! I sup pose they're comics!" she challenged boldly. "Very likely," said Asa Root gravely. "For that reason I'll not open mine until I am alone it would be fear fully embarrassing to have to exhibit it to the whole family." "Shucks!" sniffed Airs. Munson. l suppose you feel the same way. Miss Wingf ield?" s Ida Wingfield picked up her valen tine, broke the seal with a reverent finger and pulled out a charming con coction of lace paper and golden hearts and flying cupids. There were roses and forget-me-nots and arrows scattered everywhere. "Ah!" breathed the excited table as Miss Wingfield replaced it in the en velope. "You are satisfied, Mrs. Munson?" asked Mr. Root in a rasping tone. "I'd like to know who sent it," snif fed Mrs. Munson as she went out and banged the door after her. "Impertinent Insufferable!" gasp ed old Mrs. Dodd, as she followed the school teacher out into the basement ball. "I wouldn't remain here a day longer only Mrs. Munson is an excel lent cook and as neat as wax person ally she is impossible!" She pounded her gold-headed cane on the stairs as she mounted. Ida Wingfield slipped into her warm cloak and went out into the snowy streets. The wonderful valentine burn ed against her heart; she was conscious of its oroxlmitv all day. it took away the sting from the comic one she found in her desk, and it upheld ner tnrougn a trying day with her pupils. Night found her coming home to the boarding house and her dull room with star-like eyes and flush cheeks. She looked positively lovely. Romance was not dead after all. Mrs- Munson came into the dining room with Importance written on her sallow countenace. "Miss Wingfield, I'm dreadfully sorry but I'm afraid that valentine you got this morning isn't for you, after all. Along about noon a lady came in from next door and said that her name was Wingfield and wanted to know if anv mail for her had been left her by mistake. Said her name was Inez Wingfield so I guess, maybe, that valentine was for her." Ida Wingfield suddenly looked ill; all the light and color died out of her face. Slowly she took the envelope from her bosom and passed it to the hard-featured woman beside her. "Perhaps yea are right," aha wearily, "it ia addressed to Miss I. Wingfield." There was silence around the: table for an Instant. Then before Mrs. Mun son could move away Aaa Root got up and held out hja hand. I will take that letter if you please. Mrs. Munson. It belonn to Miss Wingfield I know because I aent it to her; Perhaps vou mav recognize my handwriting!" He took the valen tine irom Mrs. Munson's reluctant hand and, going around the table, laid it beside Ida, Wlngfleld's plate, then he placed a hand on her thin shoulder with a protecting gesture that brought amazing comfort to the lonely teacher. All the beautiful color came back, to her lace she was young radiant beloved! "Perhaps Miss Wingfield will tell you that she is going to marry me very soon." said Mr. Root confidently, although this was not only news to himself but to Ida Wingfield as welL "rue idea!" interjected Mrs. Mun son. "Tell them are you. Ida?" whis pered Mr. Root eagerly. "Why yes of course!" murmured Miss Wingfield shyly, and that was the only proposal of marriage that she received from the bookkeeper; but when Easter dawned there were two weddings from the Munson house and one of the brides was Ida Wingfield.

"Lobsters are common enough to you people here on the seacoast," he remarked to a New Yorker "but when one gets well inland the fresh lobster becomes a bit more of a nov elty. Not that we don't get plenty of lobsters in Montana, but, naturally, there they're not as numerous as down here, and they are regarded as more of a luxury.

Rose would promise each time nev er to tell another, especially if Elsie cried, for she dearly loved her,- but the promise was soon forgotten, and she would tell another. But one day something happened to cure Rose of this dreadful habit. The gardener told Mrs. Fisher two of the rose bushes were broken and as the children were playing near them she asked Rose and Elsie if they bad broken them. Rose answered first and said she did not do it, and from the way she replied Mrs. Fisher told her if she found out she had done it she would send her back to the Home the next day. "I did it, mother," said Elsie. "I ran through the bushes and broke them." "You and Rose have been told not to play near those bushes," said her mother, "and I shall punish you. Go to your room; you cannot come to the supper table, and you must stay in you room all day tomorrow." Elsie's eyes filled with tears but she went to her room. Mrs. Fisher was sure that both lit tle girls had told wrong stories and that Elsie was trying to save Rose from being cent back to the Home). 3Poor yotfeM- ea -ay Kansas Comment RAILROAD KATES:- -i.. r fin articles ine last os .w presehting the railroads eideof the railroad question appeared in tnia pa per last week.

The public has no right to expect service from a individual or a corporation at less than that service costs. If the rates now in existence are inadequate to maintain the roads up to their pres ent standard, provide for improve ments and extensions, and return a fair rate of interest on the investment they should be advanced.

Her auditors' pertinacity in discover-- ing that previous estimates of the public land values were all too low is nothing less than an attempt to rub it' In. Last year the prediction was that Minnesota, from her iron, timber and farm lands, would ultimately have a fund of $200,000,000; now it appears that it will be stiU greater, and may' be much greater. Her iron lands this year bring in a million: by 120 they should bring in four millions. North and South Dakota are abetting her, moreover, in the humiliation of the remainder of the west. Each is likely -to have, in tire end, a fund of above S60.000.000 the one having 2,500.000,' the other 3,000,000 acres. In painful contrast Iowa has sold all but -200 acres, and has $4,800,000 to show for it; Wisconsin has sold all but 16,000, and has a debt; Michigan has sold all, and has $5,800,000; Illinois has sold all, and has $1,200,000. The original patrimony of each of these states was from 6,000,000 to 9,000,000 acres. Texas alone is an exception, with an enormous area expected ultimately to' accumulate $80,000,000.

Stringfellow, Attorney, St. Joseph, Mo., to the Bank of Topeka, Topeka, Kansas, regarding the Cameragraph: 'My own office has furnished an illustration of one of the many undeveloped fields of usefulness. I had a case for the Knights and Ladies of Secur ity of Topeka in which I had to make a record on appeal. This is a fraternal insurance com pany and one of the exhibits in the case was a monthly report made by the local lodge to the Home Office. The printer charged me $28 extra for setting up this statement. A second appeal came on in which there were five such exhibits. I had the extra printing estimated in advance at J 90. I had eleven copies of each of these exhibits made by the Cameragraph Company at a total cost of til, instead of $90, thus saving my clients ST9.

Waters and endorsed by Governor Capper in the Topeka Daily Capital, Sunday, Feb. 7, 1915. CRAWFORD'S DREAM BEING REALIZED WITH CAMERAGRAPH, SAYS WATERS I believe in the magnificent destiny of the United States. I have enough patri otism to hope and pray that this great na tion may. to the full, take advantage of ever)- legitimate means becoming to a neutral, to profit by the great world war now being waged, with its imperial sav agery and slaughter, and that it may be benefited, in all honorable ways by the handicapped situation of the nations en gaged in it. It is our duty to have at this time an enlightened and patriotic selfish ness. We are no requred to wear sack cloth nor sit in ashes with them. While the war is occasion for great sorrow and appeals to our unstinted philanthropy, this should not halt our steps or abate one whit the efforts on our part to in crease commerce, build up trade and take a business and commercial stride in ad vance of them all. It is a time to cap ture trade and sell mules; a time to establish old industries and found new ones. We are blameless. We have not sinned. The world cannot saddle any of its iniquities on us. We are free to act. The world Is our ovster and we have the right to open it. We should, as bystand er, suffer as little as possible and profit, in honor, all we can. If woe and offense have come, be hey not upon us. but upon those by whom the offense cometh. In common with all our citizens. I have become tired of the German trade-mark, Paris fashions and cheap English wool ens. It gives me the epigastritls to have our folks bring home and place on the mantel, as purloined antiques or smug gled vases from Pompeii, souvenir cups of American cities with the kaiser's trade mark on their bottoms. OPPOUTVXITY IS KNOCKING. This is the one epochal time in our his tory. The one great commercial crisis of the next thousand years for us. Opportu nity of the John James Ingalls brand, has been and is knocking at our front door with a persistency and clamor that frightens the kitchen maids and stirs the janitor, asleep in the attic, off duty. There Is not a locality but what should share in the coming tidal wave of pros perity, that. Sure as fate, will inundate this country for the generations yet to come. Who does not remember Byron standing on the Bridge of Sighs and who. widening his vision over that decadent city, saw its dead past of a thousand years arise, its commerce whitening the sea to the far ultimatbule and in her thrift and commerce and power. "Venice sate throned on her hundred isles?" A prophet of lost greatness and departed glory. I am no such man as he. I turn to the- coming greatness of the United States as men look for sunrise or April rains, or as beleagured cities, hungry children and devastated nations look for bumper crops from Kansas. I seek another prophet! A man who fronts the sun; a man who thinks, be lieves and acts and finds the goal of suc cess. I am not writing about a man who has freckled the face of the whole land with his libraries, nor yet of another who lights the world when it la off its moon light schedule. He is one of our own citizens, who is as much entitled to a panegyric as any man in the wide scope of our horizon. CRAWFORD'S DREAM. I was in Lester M. Crawford's office a few days ago, and all animation and spirit, he pointed to a large photograph ed picture on the wall. It was designated aa Crawford's dream and its realisation. There was the modest building as the maiden effort, and then over the whole teritory within the frame, were colossal warehouses; the smoke from high chim neys, the furr.ace fires of a great indus try. Trains were coming empty and leav ing full cargoed as once the ships of Venice sailed out of ita lagoons. Here v y h ri 0

CAMERAGRAPH-DUPLEX Reproduces written and printed documents and records on both sides of sen sitized or photographic paper with one lens and one exposure. Prints developed and fixed entirely within the machine. The only machine In the world that accomplishes this. This fundamental principal of two side photography is covered by strong basic patents in the United States. Canada. Mexico, Great Britian, Austria. Belgium and France. Another patent covers detail of construction of the exposure chamber that makes the use of this machine possible. Thus this basic idea of photographing at one exposure on both sides of paper is fully protected. The patents were secured without cita tion or interference. At no distant date every register of deeds and abstractor's office In the United States will be using this machine as a matter of economy, to say nothing of the priceless accuracy of the records. PREFERRED STOCK Unusual precautions have been taken to strengthen the investment position of the preferred stock. There are no prior liens except $7,00 bonds and mortgages. Provision has been made for the early retirement of these. The preferred stockholders, therefore, will be actually the pre ferred owners. No mortgage or other fixed obli gation constituting a lien upon the property may be created or placed ahead of the preferred stock without consent of the holders of 76 of the pre ferred stock at that time outstanding. The divi dends are cumulative, and If not paid in any one year, remain an obligation to be met before any dividend can be paid on the common stock. TERMS OF SALE The preferred stock is sold at par, and a bonus of one share of common stock is given with each share of preferred, as part of same consideration. This bonus may be reduced, or entirely withdrawn, after a limited number of subscriptions have been received. Both classes of stock are Issued full paid and non-assessable, and have a par value of $100 per share. The holders of preferred stock, as such, have no right to vote at stock holders' meetings, or for the election of directors; only the holders of common stock shall have the right,- but the consent of a majority of the out standing preferred, stock must be obtained before any of the Company's property, real, personal or mixed, can be mortgaged or otherwise encum bered. And the amount of salaries to be paid to the officers must meet the approval of a ma jority of the preferred stockholders. The Company's fixed policy is to return to each stockholder, as soon as possible, the entire cash investment, with 7 interest, and In addition thereto 10 premium, after which the common stock will receive all the net earnings of the Company. COMMON STOCK The common stock which is given as a bonus with the preferred stock will be the permanent earning shares of the Company. Common-stock dividends shall be limited to not exceed seven per cent per an num, until the entire issue of outstanding preferred stock shall have been purchased and retired at 110, together with the accrued dividends thereon. Attention is called to the following features that make this stock a desirable In vestment: 1. It is fully paid and non-assessable. 1 2. It bears 7 per cent, and is cumulative. 3. It is a first lien upon all the property which the Company now owns or may hereafter acquire. 4. It has all the desirable features of a bond in security, with the added advan tage of bearing a higher rate of interest. 5. Considering the character of the investment, the nature of the business in which the Company is engaged, the great possibilities before the Company, the in come on the investment is excellent, and this stock should advance beyond par in the near future. Government Bonds pay from 2 to S per cent. Savings Bank Deposits pay from S to 4 per cent. Railroad Storks pay an average of 3 4 per cent. Municipal Bonds pay from 4 to 5 per cent. Ftenn Mortgages pay from 5 to 6 per cent. For further particulars, complete Prospectus and Discriptive Stock Circular of the Cameragraph Company, application blanks, etc., etc., address L. M.

He whips expectation un til it catches up with actuality. He mourns not over the irretrievable past. He sees the promise, he feels the unction of good things and proposes to profit in the revival and extension of business. THE CAMERAGRAPH. In the rooms connecting with his office on the fourth floor of the Commerce building, is the home of the Camera graph. It fronts you when you look at it as an intelligent personage; it works with a button and is as noiseless as Niagara is boisterous. It was invented by a smart man; there are no marks of the graver or artisan upon it. and you take to it as you look at it. It is ready for work, and I might say. that any of our citizens can see it in action. It seems as it it had a design in being perfected now it will not be labeled with a foreign trade-mark; it comes to intrude on no industry, to take bread from the mouth of no wage-earner, nor to invade the printer, the photographer, the type writer, the mimeograph or its allied forces; it is both human and friendly. It is not in a race of competition. This machine has the deftness to photograph ically copy a public record book of 640 pages in thirty-six hours; by the present methods it takes fifty-four days. It en larges or diminishes. It has the power to cheapen for the day laborer's use, the rarest and most valued volume in library or museum. It can inexpensively, quick ly and thoroughly take the record books of any office and duplicate them. The deed it reproduces, with the mispelled words, the ink blots, the fly specks and the signatures as they were written. Do the people know that land titles are fre quently forged and after they are copied and the original deed is given over to the forger, the forgery is obliterated by the destruction of the- original deed, the law making the record copy evidence of title? In the Historical society in Memorial hall is a room full of newspapers; every newsgaper printed in the state sends a copy; they are the most valuable arch ives in the state: they embody the local details of daily life, the chronicles of ev erything that has been done, and they relate to birth, marriage, death, business, genealogy, society, politics, all features that make history or constitute life on this planet. PRESERVE OLD RECORDS. They are printed on wood pulp paper, that began to decay in the tree; the ink Is poor and cheap and combining these with the vile acids of ink and paper, they soon fade and become undecipherable, although all of human vigilance and care are bestowed upon them; open up the pages and they look exactly like the yellowish, swathing bands around the mummies of Egypt, as I saw them' on my last visit there. This machine can restore them and keep them restored, but they are going and will soon be gone, and then the people of Kansas will have cause to weep over the destruction of (he last vestige of their ancestral lines. In the 105 offices of register of deeds there could be a saving yearly of hundreds of thousands of dollars and that would be to lessen the taxation on the people. An orphan girl and one of these machines could run any of these offices for a thou sand dollars a year. To lessen taxation some day will be the height of state craft. In all the avenues of business, with Its multiplicity of affairs, this ma chine will come as the telephone has come, a prime necessity which the ma chine will make for itself. If one had a (leisure day he could spend the whole of it in inventorying the things that it would .do. after once seeing it on the job. It extends the reach of men's action and it is as economical as useful. The company makes and sells its own supplies and is within the means of business concerns. The cash register created its own want: so did the telephone and phonograph, and so will this machine. Every day the zones of usefulness enlarge by the adaptation of such new forces and ap pliances to the uses of men. This is es sentially a Kansas thing, and is one of the utilities to plant in America and get greased and running before the German salesman gets back from the trenches, the Englishman sits again at his loom or the male modiste of Parts displays his fall fashions. CRAWFORD A KANSAS INSTI TUTION. Mr. Crawford is the treasurer and fis cal agent of the company. And who is he? A Kansas Institution. His synonym is success. He has been a resident of To peka fifty odd yearn. Obstruction and poverty were his original capital: he had no advantage save that which he com pelled. As a boy he took to work, earned his pittance and enjoyed his sweat. His foot took the lowest rang of the ladder. He has dared vicissitude and bullied hard times. In the period of our despondent years, when values went down as the mercury does in a blizzard; when a mul titude were drowned in the bankrupt sea, -he came ashore with dry feet. His story if told is a real and thrilling romance. At all times he has been of stout heart and he has been in the habit of taking an extra twist in his backbone to kef stiff and strong. He sent his boys abroad and they came back home on the world's tour, successful, prosperous and honored and they brought their trophies back home. But Crawford stayed; he dug, he delved, he builded, he prospered, evidently believing that it was better to bore with an auger than with a gimlet. HE KNOWS PUBLICITY. He learned publicity from a paste pot and a billboard, long before Roosevelt discovered its efficacy. He ran a show, he started a theater, he bought an opera house, he financed a string of them, he scattered his traveling troupes In every town wherein a traveling man bedded or a tavern spread a table cloth; he bought land and saw it rise; he became a farmer and is now cultivating thou sands of productive acres; he has intro duced a new brand of fur animals and farmer of Chase connty told ma he had seen him sell a wagon load of them fori ten thousand dollars. Now he is into this thing with hi brains and money. What he has made and what he has. Is honest money; and the long life behind him reads the story of American ambition, American pluck and American success. Why should not this be said of htm? He deserves it and I have the right to say it. Go look at his machine; hear him talk about it as if were a grandchild re cently arrived. Mr. Crawford Is on of the fiscal agents to enlarge American industries. His own money is there. You ask me If this is an advertise ment. Go look at his machine, see It la operation and you will forget that I have not answered. JOSEPH O. WATERS. I have known Lester M. Crawford a -life time, intimately and well. I have read the foregoing article and take pleasure in Indorsing what Captain Wat ers has said about him. ARTHUR CAPPER. IL

All the most famous stars of the world generously appeared, for the proceeds were to go to feed the poor in America. When the contest was over the dancers themselves were to vote for their king or queen. Already they had nearly decided on the marvellous Russian dancer, when an exquisitely graceful girl floated out on the floor of the great hall. Her satiny shoulders gleamed out from their soft white draperies. She danced as lizhtlv as a l skimming bird wings its way. Not for i a moment did Cherry dream of win ning the prize. But all she had to give the poor was her dancing, so at the risk of being recognized, she came. When she heard the, words: "The Veiled Dancer is Queen'." she was panic-stricken. No longer a happy zephyr, but a badly scared chil she never could remember how she reach ed the smiling; Greek shepherd who bestowed on her the beautiful cup. At last she managed to slip away. "That's over, she congratulated her self. But it wasn't. For when she reached the door a young man dressed as a clown put out a detaining hand. "You shan't escape until we have seen that pretty face of yours once, my dear," he cried, catching hold of the veil that always half concealed her face. There was a sudden stir, and in a flash a strong" arm had encir cled her, and an iron hand shoved the Intruder away. In the excitement her veil fell for a moment. The quick eyes of a little Pierette caught a fleet ing glimpse of the loveliest face she had ever seen. "No wonder he likes you," she said. Klancina; Jealously at handsome Ned.

Master Albert Phil lips, the son of Mrs. Albert Charles Phillips of Seattle, Wash., is a guest of honor. The seventeenth annual banquet of Western Soros is was held Friday night in the dining halV of the Methodist building. The decorations were little green baskets of red roses and metal leaves set at intervals down the center of the tabhes, and stretched from one basket to th next were strands of red satin ribbon. Candelabra set with .red candles lighted the tables. The place cards were adorned with tiny Ameri can flags.' The members of the club were asked to appear at the party wearing cos tumes, of the fashion of the immediate ante-bellum, days, and a number of the women wore-the old time tight bodices and full, flaring skirts (not so far off from, the- present day style), and their hair decorously parted and drawn over the ears. Mrs. F. W. Watson, presi dent of .the club, was toastmistresa. Her gown of yellow satin, which Is In the height 'of t fashion, was quaintly suggestive of the Victorian period of dress.: Her introductions were partic ularly clever. The principal address of the even ing was. made by Governor Arthur Capper, his subject being "Abraham Lincoln." and there was an ample dish of nonsense served on the side by the members of the club. Governor Capper spoke of the pe culiarity, of a political situation which brought to the head of the nation an awkward country lawyer, who had had less than ordinary advantages and poor and obscure antecedents, while such men as Seward and Douglas were defeated. It was Llncoln'0 calm and Judicial mind, his charity and large ness of view, nis uoaitKe patience, ana his faith In the ultimate good Judg ment of the people that made him pre eminently fit for bis task. "His work was concerned, not oniy with keeping the American republic undivided and freeing the black man, but also the preservation of govern ment by the people. Democracy was on trial for its life. "The time will never come when then will be no more problems to solve. The time of danger for any state Is not its pioneer time, and its day of poverty, but It is when the state waxes rich that It is threatened with the dangers that, attend luxury and the love of money. We are not to think that because our state has grown rich that our poverty has decreased. It has never been so, and one of our greatest problems Is the Wretchedness and the luxury that are existing side by side. Nevertheless, there is no evil that does not have a remedy, and the conscience of the people was never so alive as It 4s now. There has never yet been devised a plan of government or social life that would make for the betterment of all classes that was not founded on the principles of brother hood and faith In each other the principles that Lincoln believed in. Mr. Capper spoke of Henry Ford's action in turning baclo millions to the hands of his workman, and expressed his belief that such an act was of im mensely greater benefit than endow ing colleges or building libraries. The club liked Governor ICapper's speech and voted to make him an hon orary member. Mrs. Margaret Hill rMcCarter was called upon by the name of Minerva Hill to read the minutes of the pre vious meeting. Her toast was a bur lesue of the work of the secretary, and at its close various members of the club rose to offer objections, be cause thejr gowns had not been de scribed in the minutes. Other mem bers thereupon rose to quell the ob jectors. Mrs. Lee Monroe, under the name Lilladay Moore, spoke on behalf of the department of art. Her speech included some phonograph records from a coffee mill, purporting to be the poems of different members of the club. She also proposed an amend ment to a bill In the legislature, pre scribing the style of costume to be worn by men and women. Ida Walker (Mrs. O. L. Moore) responded to roll call in the department of education. Her speech was made up of stories as far as possible from the subject. Sally Collier (Mrs. 11. w. Roby) was asked to talk on literature. The speech was supposed to be impromptu, but as it was written out, rolled up and tied with a ribbon before her arrival at the dinner, it turned out to be a series of pleasant anecdotes about the election of Lincoln to the presidency. Mrs. Roby was living in Springfield at the time of the campaign and was the daughter of "one of the seven Repub licans in the county." Mary Emma Milner (Mrs. Frank Montgomery) responded to a toast on "Civil Government," in which she spoke of the difficulty of preserving the neutrality of the United States by the national government, and com paring the savagery of the present conflict in Europe with the primitive inhabitants in this country, who weak ened their own forces by fighting among themselves. She spoke, of a field of bones dug up on an ancient battlefield in Doniphan county.- The department of domestic science was represented by. Minnie Shenherd (Mrs. W. E. Atchison).

18 HE TO?HHA DAILY C72 JCUIT-L-CAUDAT EVi;-i:a, 1 V-' U Cj'iVSER'S tfrEMTIS. lie Expe:ts It to Come Along at Any Minute. When Mr. Bowser awoke the other morning; he heaved a long: sigh. When he grot out of bed he groaned. As he dressed himself he had visions of graveyards and weeping willows. Whn h m r down Rtaira he in tended to tell Mrs. Bowser that the i end of things for him was near, but something happened to prevent. He saw her looking at him in an ironical way. and without the slightest note of I pity. It cut him to the quick. She j must know that he was suffering, and I jret she could make game of him. Mr. Bowser braced up like a bent bow springing back. He. took his seat at tne table as us master should. He ate with a dignity becoming a Bowser. When he had finished the meal he rose and departed for the office with out unbending. As he came home at the usual evening hour he sniffed and snuffed at the atmosphere of the hall and observed: "I should nay you had a boiled din ner waiting." "One of the best you ever ate," re plied Mrs. Bowser. "That's very nice of you, I'm sure; but unfortunately for me, I cannot partake of it." "But why?" "I got a little warning today that I think best to heed." i "What sort of warning?" "Dr. Macelready was in the office on some business, and hearing me utter an involuntary groan as I rose up, he began to question me. It wasn't five minutes before he announced that I would have to be very careful or fall a victim to appendicitis. He said I had all the symptoms of it." "I don't believe any such talk, Mr. Bowser! I haven't heard you groan, involuntarily or otherwise, for a year. Did he charge you a fee for telling you this?" "He made no charge, but natur ally "Naturally you went and handed him over at least $5, while I am in need of a dozen different little things! You have no more cause to be afraid of appendicitis than I have of the In dian plague. Why do you let people work you like this?" "Softly, now softly," he said, as he led the way to the dining r.om In stead of shouting "woman!" at her. "Mrs. Bowser, I cannot be classed as an alarmist. -Thousands of things have ailed me, and I have never said a word to you about them. I wasn't going to say a thing in this case, but being put on a diet by the doctor, I had to make some explanations.. I have known for months and months that the appendicitis was after me. I have figured that when it overtook me at last I would make a sneak for the hospital, and have the operation performed before you knew anything nbout it. That is the way with me. I do my own worrying and planning." "Well, what symptom have you felt?" she asked. "Pains in the back, roaring in the head, wakefulness and all that. There are days when black specks dance be fore my eyes. The other morning when I got up my teeth seemed too long." "And this ass of a doctor made you believe those were symptoms of ap pendicitis?" "I knew they were before he con firmed me. I have been -saved by Just one week." "How?" "I am going to follow tho direc tions given me by the doctor." "Did he tell you to sleep with your feet out of bed and breakfast, dine and sup on catnip?" "No, ma'am, he didn't. He told me to live on milk and water for the next four days. That boiled dinner smells to heaven, but I can't touch a mouth ful of it. It's cither milk and water or death for me." 0I 7lffM "rF- ha. I "Look here, now," she said, deter mined on one last argument, "I have known of as many as five cases of appendicitis right around here, and not one of them had the symptoms yon mention. All that ails you is a little biliousness or rheumatism." "I have got my warning, my dear." "But you haven't gpt it from your own doctor." "One doctor is the sam as another, when it's a case as serious aa this. I'm as hungry as a wolf,- but don't tempt me. One full meal would mean the ambulance and the hospital. I might possibly come out; alive, but' the chances are only one in a hun dred. I seem to be fat and solid, Mrs.. Bowser, but as a matter of fact I am too spirituelle to stand much pain." Mrs. Bowser had to laugh. She would have had to had he been stand ing over her with an ax. She, led the way upstairs and was for dropping the subject, but Mr. Bowser hadn't had his say yet. "In case this milk and water diet doesn't stave off appendicitis, and the results are fatal, you will find all my business papers in the safe," he ob served as he walked up and down. "Very well." "You will not be forced to marry to keep a roof over your head." "No?" "Naturally, I would- rather you would not marry, at all, but I am not going to exact any promise." X do wish, however, that you would visit my grave once in a,-while. I shan't know It. of course,, but it .will help you not to forget me."' "I shall visit it once" in two" weeks during good weather," she replied, as she saw his Hp trembling. V "That is all. I ask. The .doctoras sured me that milk and water -would stave off the impending danger, but I have a presentiment; Mrs. Bowser a presentiment that appendicitis- will come and terminate fatally." "And I have a presentiment that I shall some day -meet- that fool -of a doctor and tell him what I think of him It's just biliousness that ails you, and a dose or two of calomel would set you to singing. There are yellow streaks under your eyes, and those mean biliousness and nothing else.'.' Mr. Bowser shook his head and heaved a sigh that" finally terminated in a groan and brought the cat out from under the piano. Then he start ed down the hall and put on his hat. "Are you going out?" she asked. "I'm going after a quart of milk. I may wake up in the night and want a drink. I may also talk with the druggist if he isn't busy. I am sure he would help you about the funeral ar rangements." Mrs. Bowser was glad to have him go. She knew the druggist was a blunt-spoken man and would diagnose the case pretty speedily. She there fore ran into a neighbor's for an hour. Mr. Bowser made his way to the drug gist's, and not finding him rushed, he began: "Doc, take a careful look at my face, will you?" "Cert. Thinking of trading it off for a new one?" "Does my phiz tell you anything?" "Not much. It never did. The yel low streaks under your eyes show that you are bilious." "What do pains in the back sig nify?" "Rheumatism, generally." "And roaring in the head?" "A cold." "And when your teeth seem too long?" "A little neuralgia in the jaws. Why, what do you think alls you "I was told by a doctor this morn ing that those symptoms heralded an attack of appendicitis." "Herald your grandmother! Some body has been making a fool of you again. You may have appendicitis some day, but It won't come on. that way. What did the so-called doctor tell you to do?" 1 "Drink milk and water," sighed Mr. Bowser. "You ought to be kept on that diet for the rest of your natural life! Didn't Mrs. Bowser say the fellow was a humbug?" "Well er you know "Of course she did. and of course he is. Go home and eat a hearty din ner. Eat as much as you want to morrow, and then take some calomel. Say, man, if you hadn't the wife you have somebody would get the socks off your feet!" Mr. Bowser didn't jaw back. He was too elated. Ten minutes later the cook was heaping the remains of that boiled dinner on the table, and he was eating like a Michigan lum berman. Mrs. Bowser came home' and surprised him at it. "Well, you saw the druggist?", she queried as he refilled his plate. "The druggist? What about?" "About your threatened appen dicitis. "I hadn't heard anything about be ing threatened." "But you gave up $5 to a fool of a doctor this morning to tell you to live on a milk and water diet for the next four days!" "My dear woman," said Mr. Bowser between huge bites, "please go away. You arc laboring under a. hallucina tion. You have somehow got me mixed up with your Uncle Joe or -your brother Sam.

THE HOME MERCHANT The home merchant. Who is he? He is the chap who gives you credit when you are financially broke, and carries your account until you are able to pay. He is the chap who gives you back your money or makes, exchanges when you are not satisfied with what you have bought. He is -the chap who stands behind his guaranty, and makes restoration of all .losses that you may sustain on the goods you buy. He is the chap who meets you at the door with a handshake, and lets you out; with a message tor the "kids." and a real come-again goodby. He is the chap who meets and greets you on the street every day in the year, and takes a neighborly in terest in your family and your affairs. He is the chap whose clerks and bookkeepers and other employees live in Topeka and spend their money with you and with other Topeka people. He is the chap who pays heavy taxes to help support Topeka schools, and build Topeka streets, and main tain Topeka fire departments, and parks, and lighting and water service. He is the chap who helps support Topeka churches and hospitals and charity organizations, and Topeka lodges and commercial clubs, and talks for Topeka and boosts for To peka every day in the year. He is the chap who visits you when you are sick, sends flowers to your family when you die, and follows vour L'body out among the trees and tombs. as far as human feet may travel with the dead. He is the home merchant your neighbor your friend your helper in times of need. Don't you think that you oue-b to trade with him, and be his friend and his helper In time of his need? Don't you know that every dollar that you send out of Topeka for mer chandise, is sent to strangers to men who never spend a dollar in Topeka to men who would not trust you for a box of matches? You don't save much, frequently nothing, when you send your money out of Topeka and you take all the risk yourself of short weight or meas ure and of getting damaged or in ferior goods. And don't you know that the growth and prosperity of Topeka depend very largely upon the success and prosperity of the home merchants? Out-of-town people judge our city by the appearance of our stores and the degree of enterprise shown by our merchants. And our home merchants cannot succeed unless home folks give them loyal support.
