"Our first step will be a personal appeal to the miners to go to work for the state," said Governor Allen. "It is the innocent bystander the poor fellow who buys coal in small quan tities; who is suffering. The rich chap has his winter supply. I want the miners to dig coal for the state that we may take care of the unfor-' tunate. I want them to go to work without surrendering any of their rights and H want the operators to turn over their property without waiv ing their rights." Governor Allen refused to Indicate his course in event the mine workers objected to his proposal. The fact that he will be aided by Shepherd 4 warm personal friend of Howat has given state officials strong hopes of ultimate success. A half dozen meet ings will be held by the governor terminating in a monster gathering In Jittsburg. Coal operators have refused to irtake clear their positions, altho last week several of their representatives Indicated to Governor Allen they were ready to turn over their property. Frank Hagerman of Kansas City, at torney for the operators, today talked with Governor Allen and Attorney General Hopkins over the long dis tance telephone. He urged a post ponement of action until Tuesday. State officials refused to grant a de lay. Hagerman then refused to pledge that his clients would enter an appearance. Asks for Three Receivers.

The mines affected by the rder pro duce 7,600.000 tons of coal a year. While resumption of production will greatly aid the state, it is in sufficient to meet all Kansas de mands. Western Kansas towns, however, have been benefited by coal from Co'orado mines, which are now operating. against me next responsibility tho, will be with the mine- workers. Hopkins in his application for a writ-asserted that the operators are technically violating the antitrust law, that they have entered into an agree ment regarding prices and have re fused to reopen their properties dur ing the present strike. None of the mines In the Pittsburg field is oper ating. Won't Use Non-Union Men. The governor will not attempt to use force or to send non-union work ers into the field unless a flat refusal of his plan is made by the men in the district. 'I don't want-to taik about next moves," Governor Allen said. "I hope and believe the men will return to work. But I cannot say anything about non-union workers or further state action so long as there is a chance that the workers in the field will meet the state's needs and de mands." First Move In Country.

In the other large producing fields the raen showed a disposition in most cases to await further results of' the conference at Washington of operators and union officials over a new wage agreement before returning to work.

Trial of Rufe King, alleged Maple Hill murder farm "keeper," accused of killing John Woody, Wabaunsee county farmer, was continued until the April term of court by Judge 'Robert Heizer, of the Osage county district court, today.

Carroll took' the witness stand during the argu ments and identified a letter from Sen tinel, Okla.. saying that a former ranch foreman at Texhoma, Okla., now in Texas, could testify that Woody, or a man thought to be Woody, applied for employment in his crew, in May, 1909. Judge Heizer ruled the affidavit and motion for .the continuation was in good faith. The continuance today. It was said, postpones all trials, in the 'murder farm case ntil spring.

Ranchman Has Information.' A telegram sent to Boiand at Sen tinel asked him to furnish his address and November 13, two days after the King case has been set for trial at this term of court a letter was received from, Boiand declaring Sam Riggs, of Texhoma, Okla., had the information attorneys sought. Senator C. E:. Carroll, i an attorney for the defense, went to Texhoma November 13, only to find that Riggs had moved to Texas, attorneys said. The defense declared it believed Riggs to be some place near Fort Worth-. They claim testimony Riggs would give on the stand would be that Riggs was foreman on a ranch near Tex homa, Okla.. in Iftay, June and July, 1909, an that during May. 1909. a young man giving his name as John Anderson applied .to him for, employ ment. The defense claimed Riggs would testify that Anderson in his application for employment said he knew Hell C. Boiand, at Paxico, Kan., where Ander son had worked in a livery barn. The defense-also claims that Riggs would testify that Anderson said he worked in a livery barn at Maple Hill. "The defense declared Boiand met Riggs some time later and that Riggs will- testify he spoke to Boiand about "John Anderson" and described him to Boiand: Boiand then declaring An derson could be no other than John Anderson Woody, son of J. D. Woody. Can Produce Rljrgs, Claim. Attornek's for the defense declared if thev are given time they can pro duce Riggs in court, at the next term, proving by ...m that Woody was alive as late as-June. 1909. i Crowds Attend Trial. Altho Lyndon was crowded and residents were forced to. open their homes to provide room for witnesses and others connected with the trial, there was no disorder today. Sheriff J. M.

This contemplated defeat of the ratification, resolution with the Lodge reservations attached and' the o'erlng -of a. resolu. tlon for ratification without' reserva tions. With the defeat of this resolu tion a deadlock would follow and com promise would be sought. Senator Hitchcock wae with the president for an hour. I find the president is very much- improved since I saw him last." the senator said on leaving the Whit House. "Hn looks better, talks better and is much more aggressive. I find that he has read -and considered the Lodge reservations and that he eon sfders" them a nullification of th -treaty and utterly impossible." "Did the president tell you what hi course would be in the' event the Lodge reservation are accepted by th senate?" he was' asked. t "The president will pocket, the treaty," was the reply. "Eveh if reservation fifteen la stricken out?" "Yes; that would make no differ, ence in the president's decision." Still Sees Compromise. Senator Hitchcock did not interpret the president's stand to mean that th treaty was dead, declaring he stilr be lieved a compromire reservation pro. gram could be worked out. The preamble of the commute resolution requiring the senate reser vations must be accepted by- three of the other great powers was said fy tha Democratic leader to be particularly r objectionable to the president who -regarded it. he declared, as "killing the treaty, absolutely."

The plan at first had been to have the mild reservation Republicans In the' conference, but It h understood they Informed the Democrats they were unwilling to negotiate nntil the com--' mlttee program had. coroe to a. vote Senator Hitchcock predicted the mild group would give" the Demoerts enough support to uphold the vic president in ruling that further ratification- resolutions are in order,, thus' opening the door for a compromise.

The dope killer stuck his stirring stick down in the football pot Satur day and turned things upside down. The results of three wild upheavals made the championship as clear as mud. On the surface it seems there are no champions. Harvard and Stevens have not been defeated, but they haven't beaten any body worth giving them the first place wreath. Colgate and Dartmouth top the pile for a while but the derailer was finally thrown in front of their speeding train. They may find it strange in the cellar, but they shouldn't be lonesome there with plenty of illustrious com pany, including Yale, Princeton, Syra cuse, Washington and Jefferson, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Army, Navy, Brown. Cornell, West Virginia, Iehigh. Lafayette ana scores of the little fal lows. One might end in a padded cell if one tried to get something tangible in the way of a championship claim out of that mess. Here's but one strand of the tangled yarn: Tlic Iope. Colgate beat Brown. Brown beat Dartmouth. Dartmouth beat Penn State. Penn State beat Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania tied Pittsburgh. Pitts burgh beat W. and J. W. and J. beat Syracuse. Syracuse beat Colgate. It does seem, however, that in beat ing the Army, Pittsburgh, Brown, Rut gers and Colgate that Syracuse has her eyes above the pile of defeated Jerseys. .Every big team of the east slipped a cog in one particular game. Syracuse slipped against Washington and Jef ferson. If Harvard- had a few hard games the crimson could undoubtedly claim the championship. But their schedule is loaded with easy marks. The Cam bridge team, favored to beat Yale, will not care much about losing considera tion for the title if it is able to defeat old Eli. Princeton's victory over Yale was not such a surprise as the real super iority the Tiger showed. In West and South. Wisconsin pulled a surprise in the west by holding Ohio State to a mini mum "Chick" Harley kept Ohio in the lead with a field goal. Center college, conquerors of West Virginia, remained in the southern limelight by trimming Kentucky State 56 to 0. Auburn pulled a surprise by knocking out the unbeaten Mississippi A. and jy.'team.

Director, Washing, ton. T. I To the president of the Baltimore rcderation of Labor are ascribed the following words of wisdom: "No jurosi-am of betterment will prove rea sonably effective without a reform in the spirit of botfl capital and labor. The laborer must come to realize that he owes his employer and society an honest day's work In return for affair ya;c, and that conditions can not be substantially Improved until he roots out the desire to got a maximum of return for a minimum of service: The capitalist must likewise get a new viewpoint. He needs to learn that Ions forgotten truth that wealth is i tev. ardship. that profit making is not the basic Justification of business en terprise, and that there are such tlilnits as fair profits, fair interest and f-iir prices. Above and before all. he ruut cultivate and strengthen within li'.s mind the trutll which many of his chips have already begun to grasp: ln.mrly, that the laborer is a human boinn:. not merely an instrument of production, and that the laborer's i :ht to a decent livelihood is the first j.HK-al charge upon industry." Samuel Gompers has called a spe c'.i.l convention of labor chiefs to per f ct ;mi alliance with unions of Canada "more effectively to fip:ht out the life ntul death strusrrle of the workers now in p-.-osress." It may be a life and death strufrsle, but one in which labor v ill be lost if it w in and be saved if it lose. F.vcry hardship that a general f;i.ri!;e would brins upon the country v ould hit the laboring man and his family-Just as hard as other individ uals. If t' purposes of the strike should be achieved it would be the la boring man's provernment that would be overthrown as weil as the govern ment of every other citizen. If the in stitutions upon which the prosperity of fie nation has been built for a hun dred yeurs are to go down, the labor ing man will suffer equally with his neighbor. D'Annunzlor should be informed that poetic license does not extend to tak ing possession of an entire city. It is announced that In certain lo calities several days elapsed before the coal miners received the official order tailing off the strike. This probably w as due to entrusting the 'cancellation order to Burleson's postal service. Probably many of those who com mended the action of Federal Judge Anderson in the coal strike case are now condemning that of the federal Judges who are holding the prohibi tory law unconstitutional. The respect of numbers of American citizens for the courts rests on whether the courts decide their way. The presidential campaign will open December 2 when South Dakota will formally express her preference for candidates. The friends of General Wood are reported to have captured the- Republican organization, and his endorsement for the presidency is re tarded as assured. Illinois puts for ward Lowden and Coolidge as its choice for the Republican presidential ticket, but if it should be nominated the order in which the names appear may be reversed. The rapidity with which the senate adopted reservations to the peace treaty after cloture had been put in force shows what a congressional body can do when it decides to stop talking. The result of the Massachusetts elec tion is commented upon by the Chris tian Science Monitor as follows: "The result of the Massachusetts election is one which has been awaited with in terest Dot merely in the United States but il- ol .er countries. The fact Is that it is felt, at the present moment, to be an indication of the direction In which the wind is blowing. It is quite true that, if Massachusetts is taken in comparison with the rest oUhe world. Mr. Coolidge's victory may be only a straw; nevertheless a straw thrown Into a gale denotes the velocity as well as the direction of the wind. Now Mr. Coolidge's victory was a very decisive one. His plurality is -the largest, but one, that the state has ever 'seen, and it was cast in a way which left no room for misunderstandings The forces on either side were squarely lined up for the contest, and there was no .question at all as to what the con test was about." COXGRESS MAY SPEED VP. The substitution of the Esch rail road bill for the Cummins bill for con sideration by congress ia regarded as an evidence that there Is an intention on the part of that body to enact a railroad law before the roads shall be handed back to their owners January 1. It probably has been discovered that the Esch hifl will be much easier to handle in a hurry. It contains no anti-strike clauses, tho it does provide for new machinery to prevent strikes by publicity and moral suasion. It seeks to enlarge the interstate commerce commission and to increase the power, of that body, giving it supervision over issues of se curities. It fixes no minimum rate of return on railroad investments and contains no provision for consolida tion substantial economy in railroad operation and the like. According to some critics, it is not sufficiently mind ful of the interest of the shippers and the public, since it contemplates an other rate increase in the near future without supplying safeguards against wasteful competition and mismanage ment. Whatever Justice there may be "in these assaults on the measure, says the Chicago News, there is, it appears, one powerful reason for making it the basis of railroad legislation. It is a house bill, and the house has rules and is not at the mercy of filibusters and other obstructionists. It can be passed in two or three days, after a discus sion limited by the rules committee to meet an emergency. In the senate the Cummins bill could be debated in terminably without its moving a" step nearer enactment. Emergency legislation providing for the continuation for some time of the payment to the carriers of the guaran teed, standard return is admittedly es sential. This is a feature of the Esch bill. There is reason to think that it will be easier to pass an amended house bill that is, the Esch bill, with Cummins bill features, incorporated by amendments before January 1 than to make headway with the senate bill. More than $14,000,000 is paid by the government for permitting Burleson to play with telephone and telegraph wires a few months. The people prob ably have paid as much more thru In creased rates besides being subjected to the annoyance of the worst service that could be imagined. .Still there are persons who want the government to handle the public utilities. Why? THEIR ROADS APART. The organizers of the new labor party which is about to hold a nation al convention in Chicago are planning on winning the farmers to t e support of their ticket. If we may judge from recent utterances of labor leaders they have little that is attractive to offer to the agricultural classes. Oliver Wilson, master of the Na tional Grange, has stated that as far as his information goes the grange is opposed to any co-operation with the American Federation of Labor in re gard to the industrial crisis. The farmer's daily life has taught him a fundamental truth that the city laboring man has not yet learned, namely, that the less a man works the less shall he have. He sees it in the growth of his crops. If he prepares the land well, sows and plants well and cares well for the growing things he will harvest all that nature provides for in those things. But if he neglect any one of these duties his harvest will be short by Just the proportion of his neglect. Labor by systematically shortening workdays is doing to itself just what the farmer would do by shortening his workdays the less work it does the less It has, for tho it receives more money per hour for its labor the mon ey buys less because there is less to buy. It is an equation that cannot be evaded. Mr. Wilson's observations probably are correct. The farmers cannot co operate for shorter hours. The farm er's working hours are fixed by the necessities of agricultural pursuits, not by agreements between employers and employed. He, of course, would like greater remuneration for the work he does, but he cannot see how he can get tt by shorteniing his day, for his principal object is production. Congress continues to neglect mak ing provision for universal military training and probably will do so until after the next election. It is our American way. A small minority of voters making a loud noise can fright en congress into action or inaction as the case may be at any time. The establishment of universal military training by the nation will be of incal culable value in that it will supply a certain amount of discipline to the growing lad at a time of life when he is most apt to suffer from the lack of it. JJt' will be valuable for other rea sons, but this universal dose of disci pline, givtn to every young man. rich, poor, influential, unknown, spoiled only son or hard working boy as he may be, is alone a benefit we should do all In our power to bring about. The particular type of training that may be selected is of consequence, doubtless. But the important thing Is to get some type, and get it at once. TOPEKA STATS JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU FREDERIC S. HASKTK, Direct V Washington. D. OL THE LATEST DOPE ON GEORGE. Mt. Vernon, Vs., Nov. 14. One, of the ancient countrymen who guard and explain the sacred treasures of Mt. Vernon was telling the spruce-looking gentleman from Detroit how splendid ly and substantially George had lived. He pointed out the roomy smokehouse and kitchen, the servant quarters, the stable and coach house, the walled-in flower and vegetable gardens. Here was everything, he said, that a gentle man could wish for. Old George sure knew how to live. "But I didn't see any bath room in the house," said the well-groomed man from flivver town, "nor anything that looked like a bathtub." "Washington didn't need any of them things," the old man explained. "He owned eleven miles, of the Po tomac river." "He could take a bath every spring, then couldn't he?" the visitor sug gested. "He could," assented the native, "if he needed it." But this question of how Washing ton washed is impertinent. Many of our leading citizens can remember the time when they had recourse to the family tub only on Saturdays and slept regularly in their undershirts, but they were not stunted as a result, and neither .was George. It is frequently pointed out that there were fewer conveniences of lifo in Washington's time, but it is not so often realized that there was vastly more room. Washington, for .example, owned eight thousand acres. He had a great, roomy house. In front of it spread one of the most inspiring views of woodland and river to be found in Virginia. There was more than enough of everything right at hand. His fields and gardens produced all that rich soil and favorable climate could produce. His own mills ground his grain. The river was full of fish which his negroes netted in silver boat loads. Wild fowl came in myriads every fall, and George himself used to go out and kill a few canvasbacks be fore breakfast, as his diary shows. The forests t.f his own estate we: e full of deer and wild turkey. Good beef and mutton fatted in his pastures. Who would trade the abundance and dignity of that life, the beauty of that environment, for a modern flat with its bath tub and its gas stove, its stinks and noises, its inspiring vistas of back alley and basement door? And George wasn't a rich man, either. He was just a substantial citi zen. Most of hi3 neighbors were equally well fixed. Everyone had plenty of room and plenty to eat. And if he didn't like it where he was, an entire unoccupied continent lay im mediately to the west. George mayhap did not know the luxury of a full-length hot bath. But neither did he have to worry about the cost of living. And he was never crowded," hurried, worried, or suffo cated, as we luxurious and well washed moderns are every day. With that inspiring view before him, with the sense of security and free dom and leisure-'which his broad do main gave, with his energy unwasted on non-essentials, no wonder that George could dream of a new nation on the face of "the earth. If we pro duce no men of his size nowadays, maybe it's because we don't give them enough room to grow. You can't raise a lion in a rabbit hutch. You can probably get no better Idea of colonial Virginia than by going to Mt. Vernon. Not only has the estate Itself bee kept as it was in the old days, even to the coach in the coach house, but the country thereabouts has changed very little. There are only Z4U acres attached to the estate now. The rest of the eight thousand that Washington owned has been divided among 150 families. In the old days most or this was woodland.' and most of it is still woodland. From the crest or the Mt. ernon hilltop, you see nothing but woods. The view must be just about what Washington looked at. until a few years ago, they had about a dozen tame deer in a park at Mt. Vernon. Then a disease infected the herd, and the deer were turned loose to shift for themselves. The wild character of the country is illus trated by the' fact that they have shifted very successfully. Already they have multiplied many fold, and there are now wild on every farm adjoining art. v ernon. Many lawns are seen every spring. Now and then an astonished rabbit-hunter jumps a big white- tail buck, and sometimes, by good luck, brings him down. VBut both the hunters and the hounds of these parts have degenerated since the brave days of George, and the deer seem to be more than holding their own. Some of the black-and-tan rabbit hounds won't chase them, and those that will are not successful. One employe en the Mt. Vernon estate has an erstwhile rabbit dog which has become addicted to running the lordly stag and refuses to do' anything else. He stands no more chance to catch a deer than he does to bite the moon, but he now refuses to put his noRe to a rabbit trsck. His owner regards him as a total loss. George Washington was fond of good society and it must be a source of great satisfaction to his aristocratic shade that Mt. Vernon is still the cen ter of an excellent neighborhood. The mere fact that George once lived there has served to attract the "best people" so that now, as in George's day, a good part of the surrounding country con sists of gentlemen's estates. An ex senator and a novelist are among the 1 GT15151SIS!511515151 I The George Matthew Adams ABSORPTION,!! OXETS WORK. When universal work shall become the habit in the world, there will be no need of any agency for the pre-" vention of wars, intrigues and crimes whether national or personal. Absorption in one's work Is the cure for almost every ill Imaginable. It is fine to have ideals, and to be good in one's aims but a greater thing by far, is to work out thru the powers for work which, we possess, the practical application of thos things which are near and dear to us in their effect upon society as a whole. The everlasting greatness of Theo dore Roosevelt will always rest upon the fact that he put his ideals to work with every ounce of energy which he possessed. And he was so absorbed in the things for which he stood that his neighbors of Mt. Vernon. 1 A wealthy Chicago woman has purchased 'a hilt top about a quarter of a mile from Washington's house, and has erected upon it a sixty thousand dollar replica of a' colonial mansien. Of course, there are many humble folk, white and black, dwelling In the vicinity of Mt. Vernon, too. The de scendants of the slaves and artisans of George's day are still to be found here. They are still living much the same way, and doing much the same sort of work. It is curious to speculate how the tradition of Washington's greatness af fects these people. They are not un aware of it. Anyone of the natives about Mt Vernon will talk about George, and always with a certain rev erence, tho not without humor. When we entered the war, a great many of the young men hereabouts enlisted, and it seems not improbable that the thought of Washington's mar tial greatness may have had some thing to do with their patriotism. One of these modern Mt. Vernon warriors was found building a little wooden shack about a mile from Washington's mansion. He was a car penter and his folks had been carpen tering there and thereabout for a good many generations. Likely as not, some of his forebears had carpentered at Mt. Vernon. This youth had spent eleven months in the army and three months in the thick of the fighting. He had re markably little to say about it. He said that he had enlisted, but that he was now done enlisting for life. He said that while he was gone the boys who stayed at home made a lot of money, and that now they seemed to be getting more credit for their money than he was getting for his glory. He was questioned about how it feels to be in a war, but like most of the men who were there, he -either couldn't or wouldn't tell. "It was no fun, tho," he said. "Some ran, and some didn't run. I didn't run I dunno why." He rested on a crowbar and looked thoughtfully to ward the great mansion on the hill top. "But I never once felt like Wash ington," he confessed.

There was no -more devoted and happy couple than the Wards, who had been married a few short weeks: but today Helen was not happy. This was due to the fact that she hadV taken the time this morning to review the events of the past few weeks. She knew that Bruce loved her dearly, and in -his good-heartedness would deny her nothing to make her happy. But now, she had to acknowledge he had one serious fault, which was a menace to their future happiness. His belief that it was his sole aright to supervise everything about the household clashed harshly with her free and in dependent ideas. y Helen had religiously' refused to al low these thoughts to enter her mind until last evening,, when they had en tertained for the first time in their new home. She had looked forward with much pleasure to this event, and thought with a touch of pride how Mrs. Warren would compliment her on the haven of delight that she and Bruce had created for their home. But what a bitter disappointment it had been to" her as she stood by and heard Bruce, in answer to the many pleasant exclamations from the guests, as they viewed the furnishings, as sume the credit to himself, in a pro prietary manner, with not one word of praise for herself. The realization of this trait in Eruce had spoilt her eve ning, and she was unable to be the gay. light-hearted girl they had al ways known. i After the guests had departed Bruce had asked her what was wrong; but her efforts at an explanation only aroused in him a feeling of resent ment. Her gentle remonstrance at his persistently ignoring her. not only in the selection of the household furnish ings but their arrangement -as well, had brought forth from him his dec laration that he was master of his home. She realized the futility of further discussion of this subject with Bruce, because she knew him to be too posi tive in his ideas. She thought over all this, carefully, and made up her mind to change things. Yes, she would begin right now. She called her mother on the 'phone and asked her to go shopping with her. Helen bought new silk covers for the round cushions, new curtains for the windows and a beautiful, rich brown co-er for the library table. She had wanted those things in the living room, when she was first married Well, now she was going to have them. Mother had always selected these things at home. Other women planned the arrangement of their homes. So would she. After they had tea, she left her mother and went home. Hurriedly slipping into her large blue gingham apron, she went to work. First, she took down the curtains in the living room. Mrs. O'Brien had cleaned the windows Just two days ago, so she could now put up the new curtains. Then she opened her packages. 'What a beautiful, rich golden brown!" she thought as she held the curtains up to admire them. "And how w ell they looked with the brown rug!" Soon the room took on a new pretty effect. True, the curtains and other things that Bruce had bought were lovely, but they were not Just what Helen had wanted: and then, she must show BruSte that she, too. could plan and furnish a room with excellent taste, and that it was her right. Her work completed, she found It would be a little more than an hour before Bruce would be home. She would have plenty of time to dress and read awhile before starting to prepare dinner. She had Just been in the sun parlor a few minutes try ing to become interested in a late novel when Bruce arrived. She saw him coming up the walk, carrying a square white, box under one arm and a long box in his other hand. "Flow ers and candy." thought Helen. This had happened once before, when Bruce left the house In a bad humor after breakfast, because Helen had served bacon with their eggs, and Bruce did not eat pork "in any way, shape or form." Flowers and candy were his peace offering, which should cover any breach. WTell, he must learn differently. She usually ran to the door to meet him. but today she pretended to be reading. Bruce entered the house and. plac ing his packages on the table, he went to her quickly. ""Helen, dear." he began, "I want to talk to you. It Is about last night." Helen gazed at him in surprise. Why, what did it mean? This peni tent tone from Bruce". And he had never before said he was sorry. Per haps she had been too hasty about buying the new things for the living room. "Oh, Bruce, wait! I want to tell you about this afternoon. I She was interrupted by Bruce. "I have been a selfish cad. I know how you tiaust feel about my selecting everything for our home, and trying to supervise their arrangement. But I must tell you how I came to realize this. This morning going to town Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Travers got on at Homewood. They took the seat right, back of me. At first I did not recog nize their voices: then they mentioned your name." Bruce paused, made an other effort, then went on. "Mrs. Warren was saying some nice things about you, when Mrs. Travers re marked "What a pity she allows her young husband to run everything. Why. when you asked her where she bought her pretty cushions and the reading lamp,'' she looked confusedly at her husband and he had to answer. I should hate to think that I would ever become a nonentity in my home. I wonder how such men would feel if their wives interfered in their busi ness?' I. well, I was furious. I couldn't stand to hear any more, but when I got to the office and thought things over, I knew that Mrs. Travers spoke the truth. Oh, please don't cry. Helen." And Bruce dropped his head on his hands. "To think that I should ever give any one cause to say those things and to pity the dearest girl in the world." Helen dried her tears. She was hurt, and she knew what Mrs. Trav ers said was true, but how dared she speak that way and how humiliating for poor Bruce. "Bruce, you have never given ,any one reason to pity me. Don't say that. And, even if Mrs. Travers did suspect, she doesn't belong here. As you know. Mrs. Warren is my dearest friend, and I have no doubt that if you had heard the rest of their conversation you would have heard Mrs. Warren telling her, kindly but firmly, that she knew us to be the happiest of couples, and that she Just imagined those things. Mrs. Warren never speaks unkindly of any one. nor lets a chance go by to say something nice about on when another in her presence makes dis agreeable remarks." Bruce lifted his head. "Well, from SANDRA THE JEALOUS. By JANE PHELPS EVKRE7TT HAS A TALK WITH SANDRA. CHAPTER XCVII. I was not permanently injured, altho some of the burns" had been painful. Fortunately the flames had not had time, to reach my face before Mrs. Gray smothered them in the rug. Often I have shuddered at the thought that but for her quickness, her pres ence of mind, my curiosity would have caused my death a horrible one. Kverett was very tender, very lov ing, yet unusually serious in the days that followed my accident. Not once had he mentioned the attic, or how I received the burns, until I was able to get around again, and the pain had ceased. But then he said: "Now Sandra. I want to know Just why you thought it necessary to read letters not intended for your eyes. I know because of finding them beside the trunk that that was your errand to the attic". "I wanted to see if I could find, out something about her," I replied lamely. "Why"?" "Because you loved her so much and do yet!" I burst out weeping. I had held the thought in my heart so long, had grieved over my failure to win my husband. as I thought Leola had won him that once I gave the thought expression I poured out my very heart to him in a storm of words which fairly tumbled over each other. Not once did Everett interrupt me. not once did he move until, almost exhausted by my emotion and sobbing bitterly, I stopped for breath. Then: "Poor Sandra! Why didn't you tell me all this long ago?" "Because because I couldn't." I stammered between sobs. "I I thought you still loved her better than you do me. Everybody said so." "Tou mean people told you such -a thing?" sternly. "Well not exactly. But ever so many have told me or said it so I heard that you loved her so you nev er interfered with her and let her do just as she wanted to and every thing!" I knew my reply was almost foolishly childish, but I was so sure Everett was going to be cross with me I couldn't collect my thoughts at all. "Tou let her go places and have company and sit up and go out with you" I went on making things worse. "Poor little girl! Has it been so ter- now on things will be different. I have been brought to- my senses. If I had only listened to you when you talked of those things, instead of be ing so sure I was right, in my- own way. I wonder th t you didis't" "I did, this afternoon." Helen In terrupted, leading him out of the liv ing room. "And oh!" and her face lit up. "Why, .Bruce, Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Travers came into Gambles' Just as I -was buying these new curtains and cushion covers." "Thank' heavens for that." muttered Bruce.. "They are a great improve ment to the room, Helen, and from now- on, you "No. not Just me, Bruce dear us." Helen said, softly, as she slipped into his arms. "I hope I have learned my lesson in time," murmured Bruce, as he bent his head down to kiss "the dearest girl and wife in nil the world." (Copyright, 1019. by the. MeClure News peper. Syndicate.)

"No." Then once more I made full confession. I told of finding Leola's lovely clothes packed away, of my failure to open the black trunk, of finding the keys in his chiffonier drawer, and then I stopped suddenly, as I remembered the letters I had tak en and the two I had read. "What else? Tell me all now. San dra." "I took some letters once befpre they are in my room." "Tou read them? Only two-they made me feel so badly I couldn't read any more. "Bring them to me. I went upstairs to my room and got the letters. Ir had now no thought or wish to read more of them. My terrible accident in which I not only might have been burned to death, but might also have destroyed our home, had effectually quelled all curiosity I might have at least for the time, I gave them to Everett without a word. He laid them on the tab!. Then before I realized it. with a cry I was sobbing out all my love for him, my terrible Jealousy of the dead wife, my resentment at being called "num ber two" while he listened without trying to comfort me. "They said you only married me be cause I was young and you wanted a family that you had no love to give me because it was all given to Leola, and" "Tou have 'eved that all of it?" He was very serious, but I was so ex cited I really did not mind, so I replied honestly: "Yes, Everett, and I made up my mind we wouldn't have any family or anything." (Tomorrow Everett asks for his wife's trust.) DINNER STORIES It was after dinner. The ladies had retired, and the men of the party, hav ing drawn their chairs up to the table again, were "settling' down to port, cof fee, and those other pleasant things which follow m the wake of the eve ning meal. As often happens on such occasions, conversation became retrospective. "Yes," said a famous barrister, who was one of the party, "well do I re member my frtrt; brief. It was a rotten little case, and my client a real bad lot. However, I managed to get' him off all right; and he ought to be mighty grateful to me, because, being a man of good family, he would have been utterly ruined had he been con victed." Later in the evening a multi-millionaire joined the parly a friend of the host, who proceeded to Introduce the newcomer to his other guests. "Ah!" said the man of gold bags, as he shook the barrister by the hand. "I do not need to be introduced to this gentleman. I met him long ago. In fact, I was his first client, and gave him a start in life." The noisy hilarity which greeted this announcement was not explained to the millionaire. Uncle Lem L4ghufoot had never heard automobile chimes that play melodies and when one passed Sun day afternoon sonorously pealing part of an anthem he was so interested he forgot to get out of the way In time and was nearly run over. Gazing down the street after the disappearing car the old man forcibly exclaimed: "Well, ain't dat de limit. Firs dey plays de dirge and den dey sets out to fix you for de. funeral!"

Lunatic mother love tnaf makes a woman see tninga that do not exist, and render her in capable of distinguishing between fact iL Dementia Materna? Why. It's the commonest complafnt in the world. Nine-tenths of the women who have children are afflicted with it, and if any alienist could be found with skill enough to minister to a mind diseased with perverted maternal affection, and restore a woman to such a degree of sanity that she would be able to re gard her children from a normal standpoint, he would be the greatesC benefactor of the human race. It is this insane mother love that takes no account of cause and effect; that flouts the Biblical dictum of "as you sow, so shall you reap;" that re fuses to profit by the experience' of others; that shuts its eyes to the warn-. lnEa that it ,eeB rlgnt before it, that s-iupiaiy ana ounaiy believes that soma miracle is going to have it from th effects of its own folly and weakness that is at the bottom of almost all of the sin, and misery, and failure in tho world. One of the mysteries of the universe has been the curious way that mother hood affects women. Often it seems to rob them not only of every vestige of intelligence, but of all sense, honor, and honesty, and common decency. It is as if their children eliminated all the finer attributes of. theircharacter. These are hard words, but look about you for their confirmation. Do you know two women who control their children, and who are bringing them up to have any regard for the rights of other people, or any respect for personal property, or to be any thing but selfish little brutes, who are determined to get whatever they want at any cost to others. There's Sallv who would h itlm nil. ble of destroying your property her- self, but she can't see why you are not willing tor her children to draw pic tures with a pin on your best ma hogany, and make cute prints with the nails on their heels on the doors of your automobile.

A big seven-passenger Oldsmobile turned completely over- three miles west of Topeka Sunday afternoon. Four of -the occupants were pinned underneath the car and two were thrown to one side. No one was re ported to be seriously Injured. Two girls were in the car and from the remarks of one of the men they didn't know the names of the girls. Efforts to learn the identity of the occupants failed. One man did say in answer to repeated questioning by spectators that he lived near Auburn. "I don't know who the girls are," he was quoted as saying. Dr. J. A. Steinmeyer, Topeka den tist, who arrived at the scene of the accident, gave the injured emergency treament and directed that they go to a hospital. At all Topeka hospitals to day it was denied, that victims of any auto accidents were taken there Sun day. Emmett Rowell, chief clerk In the office of General Manager Patten of the Topeka Railway company gave a graphic, account today of the accident. He said: "Harry Smith, who is in The chief engineer's office of the Santa Fe, was with me in my car. We were driving on the lower Silver Lake road about three miles west of Topeka. Swinging along at a speed of about thirty miles on hour we heard laughing and yelling to our-left and in a cloud of dust a big Oldsmobile, driven by a woman, swept by. They must have been going forty-five miles an hour. "We saw them ahead as they dodged around another car. Then we saw the car swerve as it swung to the right to miss a buggy. Missing the buggy- it jumped out into the middle of the road, zig-zagged across the crown two or three times, then haded to ward the fence. It hit the ditch, leaped Into the air and turned over. "WTe rushed to the wreck and found four persons pinned beneath it. Two were thrown wide of the car. We found the four seriously injured and helped carry them to a farm house nearby. "The first word spoken came from the woman who had been driving. Whv in hell didn't you take that wheel when I told you?' she yelled at one of the men. "We drove on to Manhattan. PROTEST MAZE DISCHARGE Protests by more than a dozen prominent Kansas avenue merchants against the discharge of Jacob Maze, patrolman for twenty years, were placed in the hands of Mayor Herbert J. Corwine today. Maze received his discharge Satur day. It was written and was signed by George G. Hannan, chief of police. It read: Dear Sir: Your services will be no longer de sired after the 15th of November. Following the letters of protest. Think of the Saving in Time, Fuel, Labor zj tie THE ease with which they are cooked is only' one bigr point in favor of Armour's Oats.

"With this condition it is im perative that every man do his bit. Maze's lay-off may be temporary or it may be permanent." The Pomona grange will hold an all day meeting at the Y. W. C. A.

I Returns up to :40 o'clock this afternoon from yesterday's elections j for the chamber of deputies, coverlnn about .one-third of the total vote cast, showed the radicals have lost ground thruout the republic. Socialist Iicaders Beaten. The results' so far showed the Con servatives, Nationalists and Moderates far in the lead, these parties winning j 191 seats in the 206 constituents for which complete figures have been re ceived. The extreme Socialists re ceiv i a, severe setback thruout the j country, and In general the Socialists I suffered the defeat of many of their leaders. Pierre llenaudel, leader of the majority Socialists: Jean Longuet, leader of the minority Socialists; Henry Franklin-Bouillon, the radical j Socialist chairman of the foreiPn re- lations committee of the chamber of i deputies, who- has urged rejection of the peace -treaty, and Pierre Prixonn j were beaten. The returns show a gain of forty-six seats for the moder ates and a loss of sixteen for the ex tremists. Gen. Edouard de Caatelnau and Gen. E. De Maud'Huy, military governor of Metz, wece elected but Gen. M. P. E. Harrail and Gen. Pierrie Roquesi went down to defeat. Aristide Briand and Rene Viviani,. both former pre- j miers. were returned but Prof. Paul Painleve, also a former prime minis- ter, was defeated. Alleged Traitor Loses. Paul Meunier, the radical Republi- j can deputy who was recently arrested charged with having had Intelligence j with the enemy, received only 2.50 votes in the Aube district. Albert F. j Lebrun former minister of blockade j and the'invaded regions, who was dis-' missed from his post by Premier Cle-1 menceau because his name appeared on the same list with that of Deputy! Louis Marin, who cast his vote against J the peace treaty, was elected as was' Marin. The list of Georges Maodel, j Premier Clemenceau's chief confden-1 tial secretary whose'aesasstnation was J attemnted in RAn,tiiT th. morning of November 13. was first in the Bordeaux district. The whole list was elected. Captain Aryure Tardieu, the pres ent minister of blockade and the in vaded regions, was victorious In Keine-Et-Oi.-;e. Baron Maurice de Roths child was elected in the Pyrenees. Ctamenceau Is inll niotl. The campaign, had centered very largely on vindication of the war policies of Premier Clenienceas and his, actions in the peacje conference. 1. Socialists who opposed many of Cle-j menceau's measures, put oft a strenu- ous campaign to defeat hls Supporters. i A grouping of non-Socialist parties, j known aa .the "Bloc national," fol- i lowed and the Socialists apparently j were generally defeated. They polled it: hi tiiou VI Hie 551 cities, however. Election day passed without dis orders. Elaborate precautions by the government were believed to have dis couraged any demonstrations planned by the radicals. Despite bad weather thruout France snows in Paris and thruout the northern departments and heavy rains j In the south the vote was unusually! heavy. j At midnight results in Paris indi- j cated that six supporters of Premier t Clemenceau out of seven places con- tested, had seen seated. The Repub-I lican vote was given unofficially as: S34.102 in the suburbs against 211,3311 for the Socialists. Complete returns from twenty-seven j departments in which there were 12 J deputies to be elected show the Rad ical Socialists carried only ten seats. Politicians everywhere considered the Republican victory as complete vindication of the policies of the gov ernment. Conservatives Win In Italy. Rome. 'Nav. IT. Conservative can didates apparently had succeeded gen erally in overcoming the threatened Socialist sweep .in Sunday's parlia mentary elections. Candidates of the Catholic parties seem to have scored heaVily. Altho violence and rioting had marked the campaign thruout the en tire kingdom, election day passed quietly, according -to reports reaching here. Indications Sunday night were that 119 Ministerialists. 27 members of the constitutional opposition. 45 Socialists, 32 Catholics, 11 Nationalists and 14 Republicans had been elected to the chamber of deputies. Extraordinary measures were adopted by the author ities to insure the safety of the elec tors. In Rome alone, ten thousand carabineers' and military police were engaged in this duty, in addition to the ordinary police. in tne province or Potensa it was believed Premier Nitti was elected by a lares majority. De spite strong opposition Vittorio Or lando and Antonio Salandra. both for mer premiers, also seemed to have been elected.

I'lione IK 'UNITY ON ESSENTIALS First Sermon on Church Cnity at CJrac-2 Cathedra Sunday. "Cnity on the essentials and charity on the non-essentials is the position of the Congregational church, declared Rev. A. E. Gregory, pastor of the First Congregational church, in his sermon at the first of the church unity meet ings Sunday afternoon in Grace Cathe dral. Every Congregationalist exer cises his right to make .his own creed "as God speaks to him and as he is led to believe by the spirit of truth,' Doctor Gregory said. The cathedral was well fHled for the services. The speaker was intro duced by Dean James P. DeB. Kaye, who explained the purpose of the ser ies of meetings at which ministers of all the important denominations of the city have been invited to explain the fundamental principles of their churches is eventual union. "Congregationalism,' said Doctor Gregory, "has but one great mission in the kingdom of God and that is the Universal democratization of Chris tianity. When this task is finished, we will die as a denomination, knowing we shall live in that greater church when they shall come from east and west to sit down in the kingdom of Christ."

A porterhouse or a sirloin steak In one shop may be 20 cents a pound higher than in. another locality. The difference in price is based upon de mand, location, overhead expense, volume of business and quality. The most important elements Is quality. There is as much difference between a first quality steak and one of in ferior grade as is found between a thorobred horse and a calico cayuse on the western plains. Carcass beef is divided into steers, heifers and cows, and the cuts of meat from these car casses depend upon the age, kind and quality of the animal. Sides of beef again are divided into prime, choice, good, medium and common grades. The various cuts In turn are graded according to their form, thickness, finish and quality. The grain ana firmness of the lean meat, the marbling (distribution of fat thru the lean) and the proportion of bone and other waste in the cuts are factors In the quality of beef. Fine ness of texture will be noted by tne good judge of meat. The cut surface should b6 glossy, smooth or Vvelvety' in appearance and touch, as opposed to stringiness and toughness. A good steak will be firm in substance or body as distinguished from a soft, gluey or washy consistency of the flesh. This is an indication of tenderness, Juiciness and maturity. On the other nana, firmness due to a dry, stringy condi tion of the flesh is objectionable. Ripening or aging In the cooler im proves the firmness, tenderness and flavorf of meat provided it is suffi ently fat: The fresh 'cut surface of tSa ean meat on a good grade or beer cut will be a bright, rich red and will turn brighter rather than darker after exposure to the air at -refrigerator temperature. Beef loins are graded into ro. rs, which must have a complete covering of white fat, the thickness of whicn in proportion to the lean, and bright, firm fine-grained, well-marbled flesh; No. 2's, with insufficient, excessive or uneven covering of fat and a slight deficiency in-grain, mar bling or color of flesh, and No. 3's. which are more flat in shape, nearly or entirely lacking in covering of fat, and. deficient in thickness and quality of flesh but sufficiently developed to be cut into porterhouse and sirloin steaks for cheap trade. Nos. 1 and 2 loins can be distinguished by their full, well-rounded shape. The various grades of ribs of beer. differ In thickness, covering and qual ity to the same relative extent as the corresponding grades of loin. The cov ering of fat on No. 1 ribs should be about one-half an inch in depth. A meat dealer who can tell his cus tomers the good points of the various grades of meat will not be bothered much by complaints about the cost of the product. RESCUE CAR TO OSAGE Miners at Burlingamo To Be Taught Safety and First Aid. Washington, Nov. 17 Mine rescue car. No. 4 of the United States bureau of mines, in charge of J. Hynal, foreman miner, and a crew of trained men reached Burlingame, Kan., today. The car will be on exhibition every gay from 9 a. m. until 6 p. m. until Novem ber 22, and free lectures will be given to miners on safe methods of mining, the use of safety lamps and rescue ap paratus and mine gases. The car will arrive at Osage City, Kan November 24, where it will be iStationed Tiintil November 29. J This mine rescue car is one of eleven now in use by the bureau of mines-for training miners in first aid and rescue methods and the use of oxygen breathing apparatus. Each car has a crew that includes two experienced miners, a mining engineer, and a mine surgeon, and is equipped with the latest rescue and first aid apparatus and supplies. At a moment's n)Uce me car is reaay 10 proceea to tne scene of a mine disaster, where the bureau men place themselves under the direction of the state mining in spectors and mine officials to do everything possible to assist or save miners who may have been injured or entombed. Miners are shown how to use rescue apparatus, and how to take care of an injured comrade. The lectures are il lustrated by lantern slides am moving pictures wnien snow good ana oaa methods of mining and how many ac cidents are easily prevented. These lectures are given in the car when a suitable meeting place cannot be pro cured elsewhere, but lantern slides ad moving pictures cannot be shown in the car. Each car carries oxygen-breathing apparatus, a supply of oxygen in cylin ders, safety lamps, a field telephone with 2.900 feet of wire.-a collapsible steel mine cage, an apparatus for re viving miners who have been gassed. and the charts, splints and bandages for demonstrating first-aid methods. Some of the training with rescue ap paratus will be inside the mines, also in smoke or fumes, so that wearers will understand the value of the appa ratus and how to use it. A miner wearing the apparatus can enter- a mine immediately after an explosion and work in smoke and black damp for two hours. Many thousand miners have been trained in the use of this rescue appa ratus at the bureau of mines cars and stations. Many miners have been saved after explosions by rescue parties wearing the apparatus. Also the apparatus has proved of great vame in lighting mine tires. Tree instruction and training In methods of first aid to the Injured are also given by. crews of the rescue cars and stations, and this instruction is given either in connection with rescue apparatus training or entirely sepa rately, hence is applicable not only to underground workers, but to all those emtfloyed in or around tne mines ana metallurgical estaoiisnments.
