THE ADVOCATE STANDS FOR CLEAN MEN ONLY TO FILL OUR OFFICES TWELVE MONTHS $1 50 THE WATERS CAME RUSHING MAYOR GREEN OPENED THE POLITICAL FLOOD GATE. When Mayor Chas. Green made his final announcement that he would not be a candidate for re-election for the third term he simply opened up the political flood gates for that most coveted office in Kansas City, Kansas. Already has the clogged channel opened up and brought to the surface a number of ayowed and loud candidates and whisperings of others can be heard in the op-rushing of the troubled waters. All who have announced their candidacy are wearing hip boots and some say if it comes to the place where higher ones are needed they have in reserve a diving suit. So beware. Some excellent men have announced themselves to be the target for 100,000 sharp-shooters of this great city to show them they are made of the right kind of executive metal. Let him who ever the majority choose hold up his hands in what is right and for the sake of humanity. The four commissioner offices will not go lagging on account of candidates as many have already announced themselves for the nomination. The primaries will take place Monday, March the 26th and the successful candidates will be voted for Tuesday, April the 3rd. The community club composed on some of the citizens of the Sumner High school neighborhood met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Chas, E. A. Starr, of 1126 Washington boulevard on Wednesday evening, January 10th. The president, Mr. Chas, S. Matthews promptly at 8:30 called the meeting to order and all members proceeded to enjoy themselves at whist until 10 o'clock, after which they were daintily served by the hostess. It was the opinion of all present that Mrs. Starr understands her part full well. Those present were Dr. and Mrs. R. C. Hayden, Mr. and Mrs. James H. Clayborne, Mr. and Mrs. John C. Branche, Mr. and Mrs. Tilford Davls and Mr. and Mrs. Chas, S. Matthews. The meeting adjourned to meet with Mrs. Jno. C. Branche two weeks hence. TO SET YOU RIGHT. In the issue of this paper of December the 15th, occurred an article reporting the segregation meeting which was held at the city hall in which it was stated one John Beam or Beam was the spokesman for the league. Now as some of our readers and customers of John Beem, grocer, 2404 North Fifth street, without noticing the difference in how the two spell their names, mistook the grocer Beem as the one who represented this segregation league, which was not true. Mr. Beem, the grocer at 2404 North Fifth street, is not that type of man, besides the greater part of his customers are colored and you will find he is carrying his ad in this paper. We hope you see the error.—Editor. MRS. J. W. JACOBS ENTERTAINED Mrs. Tillie Parkcr Moss, 2051 North Water, entertained in honor of Mrs. J. W. Jacobs Thursday afternoon of last week from 3 to 5. Mrs. Jacobs is the esteemable wife of Dr. J. W. Jacobs who was recently appointed presiding elder of the St. Louis district and she left Saturday to join her husband. A large number of ladies were present to show their repects and also their regrets in bidding their friend and neighbor who had been with them so long leave their pleasant association. Mrs. Moss entertained royally and a fine two-course luncheon was served by the hostess. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. and Mrs. George A.

B. Buster, president-elect. The program was as follows: (1) Music. (2) Prayer, Rev. A. Brown. (3) Current Events, Mr. J. Truman. (4) Plano solo, Miss Elizabeth Wilson (encored). (5) Paper; "Our Real Freedom," Mrs. H. O. Cook, K. C., Mo. (6) Quartette, pupils of Prof. N. C. Smith, Lincoln High School, K. C., Mo. (encored) (7) Discussion, Prof. J. P. King and Mrs. W Dwiggins. (8) Pipe organ selection Mrs. I. Wood. (9) Installation of executive committee. (10) Soprano solo, Miss Mabel Jackson (encored). (11) "Critique," Prof. G. A. Curry. The program as a whole was fine, but the paper by Mrs. H. O. Cook was superfine. Among the many beautiful things she said was for us "to watch and conquer ourselves, and build our lives patterned after Christ." She used beautiful metaphors from the Bible also from Dante's Inferno. Also said, "Shall not God hold us responsible for the waste of life?" "Real service is the gospel of Jesus Christ as our guide" and "The God's truth only shall make us free indeed." She received an ovation. Mr. J. Truman was appointed chairman of the finance committee and the following were installed as senior executive committee: J. P. King, Miss Jessie Saunders, Mrs. W. Dwiggins, Miss S. Chinn, Messrs. D. W. White, Cunnigan and Geo. Williams. Junior executive committee: Miss M. E. Link, Matt Carroll, H. Tucker, Miss Mattle Jackson. Inez Wilson, Borne Rose, Mr. A. Gatewood and Hugh Brown. The Forum was very interesting to the large fashionable audience assembled and the programs get better and better. Come Sunday, Jan. 21 at 4 p. m and be conviced. BIBLE CLASS. The Metropolitan Bible class met at Mrs. Gardner's in a heart to heart meeting. Mrs. L. Hall was confirmed as chaplain and Miss M. McLelland presented the leader with a present. The leader had influenced Mr. P. Nugent to secure a nice private room at St Margaret's hospital for a sick man of our race. Mr. Nugent certainly is a true good Samaritan. This Bible class is doing good missionary work, reading to the sick and visiting hospitals on both sides. The class is for members of all churches. Come to its next meeting, Wednesday evening, January 24th, at 7 p. m. at Mrs. Simpson's. Sermon, II Thessalonians. M. C Matthews leader. M. McLelland, Sec "BUSTER" WAS ON THE JOB. Little Tenth Street Rat Terrier Captured a Negro Burglar. "Buster," a little rat terrier, is the hero of North Tenth street today. At 1:50 o'clock Wednesday morning "Buster" raised a terrible racket. W. Crutchfield, owner of the terrier, awoke and sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes. "Something's wrong," Mr. Crutchfield said to himself as he looked out of his window across the snow covered street to his grocery store at 100 North Tenth street. A man was scrambling out of one of the front windows from which the pane had been broken, and Buster was there on the job. Mr. Crutchfield went down stairs three steps at a time, sans hat, sans shoes, sans clothing, and joined Buster in the chase. Two blocks down the street Buster had the man safe in hand with a grip of his teeth that could not be shaken. The man proved to be Clifford Chandler, a negro 19 years old and weighing 160 pounds. Chandler's first arrest was three years ago when he was caught climbing a window at the Hill grocery at Eleventh street and Freeman avenue. He was sentenced to the Boys Reform school at Topeka, escaped from the institution a year ago and was rearrested for burglary. He made his second escape two weeks ago. Since then two grocery store burglaries and the theft of a motor car from the Missouri side have been traced to him. He will be turned over to Judge John T. Sims of the juvenile court for trial. Mrs. Gertrude Jenkins of Quindaro went to Pleasant Hill Sunday to see her father, Mr. Clark, who is very ill. ARRESTED 3 BOOTLEGGERS. Topeka Negroes Are Charged with Selling Liquon Without a Federal License. Three new characters were introduced yesterday into the ways of the federal government when Steve Prouty, Andy Dupree and Ella Jordan Buckner, all colored, were arrested at Topeka by Joseph M. Myers, deputy United States marshal, on the charge of retailing liquor there without the formality of a government retailer's license. Indictments against the three Topeka negroes were returned in this city by a grand jury in the United States district court ten days ago, but were kept as a surprise for the three until the warrants for their arrest arrived in Topeka yesterday. They were taken before Morton Albaugh, clerk of the United States district court, where they gave $300 bond each for their release, pending their appearance of trial before the April term of court in Topeka. Mr. Elitor:— I did think, I might quit—but I have since concluded that one had as well die with harness on, as to pass out otherwise. When I observed the very clean-cut and clear reason, the honesty and fervor, with which Eugene V. Debs, the great-hearted Socialist treats the Negro question in the Weekly Rip-Saw, and knowing as I do what the plain, simple and just principles of the Socialist doctrine mean, and will eventually bring to all men, I was constrained to remain in the field of endeavor and lend whatever of help I can. Looking at the matter from an angle of reason, will suggest the almost hopeless condition of the case. Tis said that The Christ came to save the world, and yet it may be observed that after almost two thousand years of hard sledging, we are quite a distance from the point of safety still. The fact is, as was said by The Christ, he did not come to save or revamp the world with one act, but rather to offer the plan; which if followed by men, would work complete salvation. This plan was the adoption of a set of simple rules of action, based upon civil and social justice to all. A plan in which no class lived upon the labor of another class, but in which every man reaped the full product of his toll. A plan which barred both pauper and prince, and in the place of each, placed men—just common men. The conduct of men has been to the opposite of this plan. The highest tribute has been, and now is paid to those who violate, in the grossest manner, the spirit of such a plan. We have preached Justice, and practiced the greatest Injustice. We proclaim Truth and Honesty, and practice the most consummate Falsehood and Dis-honesty. We preach Brotherhood of Men, and practice as did Cain upon Abel. We say love God above all things while we love GOLD, with all our heart and soul. The Christ said, "Do the matters and things which I tell you, now and here and bring my father's kingdom on earth," the practice is to put off the doing of all such things, until we have come to another world—while we entail on others, and ourselves, suffer untold horrors here. Why not make a fool of yourself, and espouse the real teachings of The Christ—it would make you a Socialist it is true—however, in spite of that fact—such was the teachings of Christ. Mrs. Ersie Dorsey-Perkins, 420 Nebraska avenue, gave at her beautiful home a very swell reception in honor of her sister, Mrs. Jennie Dorsey Furkerson of Chicago. It was a swell affair. About twenty of the city's well-gowned elites were present and a most delightful time was had. The house was beautifully decorated and a very appetizing menu was served. Mrs. Perkins received many congratulations from her guests for the enjoyable time spent through her entertaining ability. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JANUARY 19, 1917. STILL APPEALING BRITISH FLEETS SEARCH FOR RAIDERS FIFTY AMERICANS REPORTED HELD AS PRISONERS BY GERMANS. British and French Warships Scouring South Atlantic for Roving Menace to Merchantmen Credited with Destroying Score of Craft—Survivors Charge III Treatment—Fate of 420 Men Unknown. London, Jan. 18.—A powerful fleet of British and French warships are scouring the Atlantic for the new terror of the seas—a German raider that is accredited with having sunk or captured more than a score of merchant ships and with having captured two other ships and converted them into raiders. Following official announcement of the admirality admitting the loss of a dozen British and French ships, it became known today at least 10 British warships are taking part in the hunt. The search is being made up and down the South American coast and off the southern part of the United States. As the men-of-war look for their quarry they are sending out wireless warnings to merchant ships. In addition to the raider, a sub-marine has been reported in the Atlantic, 800 miles off the Virginia coast. British and French consular representatives have gathered important information from the 237 survivors of lost ships that were landed at Pernambuco from the Japanese ship Hudson Maru. The fate of about 450 men on ships not yet heard from is unknown. Telegraphic reports from Pernambuco quote survivors as saying that they were severely treated by the Germans on the raider. The correspondent of the Bazil Journal reports that some of the sailors from victim ships claim to have been kept without food for two days. The commander of the French steamer Nantes is said to have asserted that the raider approached his ship under the British flag. One rumor in shipping circles was that the raider may be the Moewe, whose exploits in African waters are world famous. The Moewe suddenly disappeared after a burst of activity and her fate became a mystery. After the capture of the Yarrowdale she was turned into a prison ship by the Germans and 400 persons were put on board her and told to make port. Among them, it is believed, are 50 Americans from the crew of the freighter Georgic. These Americans are missing and if they are not on the Yarrowdale they are probably dead. Refugees on the Hudson Maru said that officers of the ship were shot down when they tried to resist capture by the German commerce destroyer. TO SPEAK AT W. U. SUNDAY. Dr. Hill, former president of the State Normal at Emporia will speak at the Vesper Services at Western University Sunday, 4 p. m. sharp. The public is cordially invited to be present and hear this well known-educator. We wish to express our thanks and gratitude for the kindness and sympathy of our friends during the sickness and bereavement of our little daughter, Cora Lee Gayden. MR. AND MRS. F. L. GAYDEN. A move to place the janitors at the city hall under civil service was started yesterday. J. M. Liggett, chairman of the board, issued a notice that examinations for applicants for positions will be held tomorrow night. The janitors, most of them negroes, had much to say regarding the move when reporting for work last night. Just what requirements will be required of janitors none of the board stated. Mr. R. E. Fine of Pleasanton, Ks., one of its energetic young business men, visited his brother and family, Mr. and Mrs. N. D. Fine, a few days this week. Both of these young men are in business which should be noticed by our present young mem. Mr. Fine will have The Advocate coming to his place of business for the year of 1917, which we appreciate. ADVOCATE CARD OF THANKS Civil Service for Janitors. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. Dr. Ransom's sermons for the last few Sundays have been delivered with great power and the large auditorium has been filled with appreciative audiences. The church is moving out into the depths of Christian wakefulness and are taking hold of the live wires that are being thrown out by these wonderful gospel sermons by God's messenger. Bishop H. Blanton Parks of the Fifth Episcopal District, preached Sunday night to a large congregation and the bishop was at his best. He aroused his attentive hearers with his eloquence of logic. Bishop Parks is easily the pulpit orator on the bench of bishops. He said "he felt very proud of the Kansas City, Kansas, people in the great progress they were making in building and beautifying God's temples." The new heating plant is doing nicely and the house can be made as comfortable in zero weather as any modern home. A large number of visitors were present at both services at which they always receive a welcome hand. Come again and let us become a little better acquainted. The choir is getting back to its former standing both in members and music. LINWOOD ART CLUB ENTERTAINS HUSBANDS. The ladies gave a luncheon in honor of their husbands Saturday evening, January 6th at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Lake, 935 Washington boulevard. There were 18 couples present. The dining room was tastefully decorated with the club's colors, ferns and cut flowers. The menu consisted of roast turkey, cranberry sauce, celery, cream potatoes, peas, glazed sweet potatoes hot rolls, mince pie, ice cream and cake. Many congratulations were tendered the hostesses.

Kansas City, Kansas, has only one Mirror company where mirrors of any size can be made to order or old ones re-silvered and that is the Hodgson Mirror company, 1017 North Fifth street, just a few doors north of Minnesota and Fifth on the east side of the street. Mr. Hodgson who is at the head of this firm and superintends every piece of work that is finished has been in the business for many years and is said to be the best in his line in the Middle West. He makes new mirrors and re-silvers old ones at a remarkably low figure. He calls and delivers any place or anywhere. The phone is Bell, West 1131. HERNDON ENDS CONTEST. Republican Withdraws His Contest for Seat of Sam Clasen in the House. The 1917 house lost its only election contest yesterday, and Sam Clasen of Rosedale, Democrat, will retain his seat as representative from Wyandotte county outside of Kansw City, Kansas. W. K. Herndon, Republican, late yesterday afternoon served formal notice of the withdrawal of his contest proceedings on E. D. Samson of Gove, chairman of the committee on elections. The committee had ruled merely to allow a recount, and not to go into the matters of alleged misconduct, fraud and irregularities in the casting and counting of votes in Rosedale. Herndon issued the following statement withdrawing his contest: "In view of the declared intention of the committee on elections not to investigate and go into the matters of miscoduct, fraud, irregularity and illegality of the election held in the precincts complained of in my notice of contest. "And in view of the further fact of the vital importance to the people of Wyandotte county that their representatives in this body should be free to give their individual attention to the matters before the legislature in which the county is interested, and, also. "In view of the further fact, that the personal relations of the contestor and contestee have always been and now are most pleasant and friendly, "I hereby dismiss my contest for the seat as the representative of the Ninth district of Kansas for the term of two years, beginning January 9, 1917.

Requires Street Car Companies to Construct and Maintain Viaducts and Tunnels Across and Under Tracks When Ordered by Commissioners—Another Allen Measure Regulates Stringing of Wires on Highways—Cities also to Do Own Construction. Topeka, Jan. 17—Representative George R. Allen of Kansas City, Kansas, came to the front today with bills designed to help solve some of the big problems with which his and other cities of Kansas have to contend. Most important among the measures introduced by Allen is one which empowers cities of the first and second class to compel street car companies to provide viaducts or tunnels, and approaches to the same, where these are deemed necessary to the safety of the public. Under this measure officials of street railway companies who refuse or neglect to construct, reconstruct or maintain viaducts or tunnels over or under streets in first and second class cities of Kansas, when instructed to do so by the city councils or commissions, will be subject to a fine of $100 or 30 days in jail, or both. Each day of continued refusal or neglect is made a separate offense. In addition to this and a utilities receivership measure, Allen has drawn up a measure giving the utilities commission power to regulate the stringing of electric light and telephone wires along public highways, and empowering the commission to require annual reports from utilities on the dates set by the interstate commerce commission. Another measure to be introduced by Allen empowers cities to purchase tools and material and construct their own public buildings, sidewalks, pavements, sewers, and so forth. The measure as drawn applies only to first class cities, and allows them to go into tech construction business only when bids for contracts for public improvements fail to come within the engineer's estimate. Two public contract lettings are to be held to give the private contractors a chance to get in on the construction business only when and machinery are purchased by the city in the first place. Allen has a thick sheaf of bills ready to inject into the house hopper today. Most of them apply to Kansas City, Kansas only, but in addition to the foregoing there are included a measure which provides that the probate court may settle widows' estates in as short a time as one year, instead of the present limit of two years for settling estates. The actual time generally consumed by the probate courts of the state averages closer to three years. METROPOLITAN CHURCH In accordance with the wishes on Rev. Bailey the great evangelist, who is now in Kansas City, Mo., Rev. D. A. Holmes preached a sermon on Consecration Sunday at 11 a. m. to a large audience. The old song, "Refuge" by the choir revived many a soul, but "Rock of Ages" by the pastor and congregation had still greater effect. The publicity committee is advertising the meeting in Kansas City Mo., which Rev. Bailey, of Texas, will begin at this church Sunday, January 25th. Everybody is invited Rev. Holmes appointed Mrs. M. C. Matthews to lead the Bible Brigade for after meetings and for slums for four weeks of revival or longer. The Jubilee Singers sang at services and were encored. Drs. Vaughn and Densamore, dean and assistant dean of Western university, were worshippers at First A. M. E. church Sunday morning. Both made remarks. Dr. McDonald of Kansas City, Mo. and editor of the Western Recorder, attended Dr. Ransom's church at the 11 o'clock service Sunday. The doctor made a few brief and inspiring remarks.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE They Are Brought Forward as Rivals of the Progeny of Both Farmers and Ministers. At last a rival to the farmer and the minister in the role of famous fatherhood—or fatherhood of the famous—is brought forward, the New York Evening Sun observes. The changes have been rung on the parentage of men like the two chief candidates for the presidency in the recent election and of other leaders. But it remained for William Browning, writing in the Medical Record, to contend that among eminent personages a large number were sons of physicians. There is food for thought in this, and as the author gravely prophesies, "the more embryotic science of history may yet find activators." He illustrates his theory by a list of the men about Lincoln in the Civil war times. The vice president, secretary of state, secretary of war, speaker of the house and the organizer of the Union forces—McClellan—were all doctors' sons. In the same group we find David Davis, the close friend and adviser of Lincoln; John Hay, his private secretary; Stephen A. Douglas, his leading opponent in the contests before the war. Exactly what part in the preparation of these leaders for high station their fathers may have taken we are not informed. But a good case might be made out of clear thinking related to prompt action and of unselfish devotion to the needs of the public. It may be said that the old-fashioned family physician was away from home a good deal, but certainly his character might well make a deeper impression on the children than the repeated precepts of a man of another type. SOME ORE DEPOSITS YOUNG Newly Formed Veins Have Produced "Such Famous Mining Camps as Goldfield and Tonopah. Ore deposits ranging in age from the time when the most complex living thing on the earth was a crablike creature down to the time when mammals were highly developed have been found in this country. Among the younger deposits is a group known to geologists as the late tertiary veins. These veins are widely distributed and are of particular interest not only because they have given rise to famous mining camps such as Tonopah, Goldfield and Comstock, but because, owing to their comparative youth, the surface on which they crop out is not greatly below that which existed at the time of their origin. Thus by considering the surface conditions and by laboratory experiments the phenomena they present can be interpreted more accurately than those older deposits which are at greater depths and are more deeply cut by erosion. Many of the late tertiary veins in this country, all Inclosed in lava rocks or closely associated with them, are found in Nevada. It's not Catching. A four-year-old boy in Columbus has been having lots or fun the last few months playing with a neighbor's dog. The friendship seemed to be mutual. The boy was interested in everything that pertained to Bowser. Recently there has been considerable agitation to require the dog owners to pay the city license fee. Announcement was made that the police would soon begin to kill all unlicensed dogs. So there was a rush to the city clerk's office to get licenses. "Mother, O mother! I'm not going to play with Bowser any more," the little fellow told his mother, as he ran into his home. "Why, son, what's the matter with Bowser?" "Why, I heard them say that he has license on him."—Indianapolis News. Queer Lawa There are in force in Switzerland certain laws which, in the hands of the, unscrupulous, may work great havoc with personal rights and liberties. This is a point concerning which there can be no dispute. For instance, in most cantons men and women may be punished not only for what they have actually done in the past, but also for what may possibly result in the future from what they have done. Suppose a man is spending week by week all he earns. Then the local authorities, acting in conjunction with the police, may send him to a penal workhouse, on the pretext that his conduct is such that he may later become desitute and therefore be a burden to the community.—Buffalo News. Holda Shaying Necessary. Shaving is not labor, but a necessity, and the state has no right to deny a man the privilege granted a mule, according to a brief filed in the Iowa state supreme court at Des Moines by attorneys for a Davenport barber on complaint of the barbers' union for keeping his shop open on Sunday. "If a man can curry a mule on Sunday, he has a right to have his own head curried, in a manner of speaking," says the brief. Want to Sleep on Your Hair? An eastern barber has invented a service to fasten around the patron's neck to catch and save the hair removed by the shears. When he has made the patron beautiful he offers to save the by-produce of his clipping until if the patron comes in often enough, the hair can be mixed with long horse hair and made up into a pillow. DIDN'T HAVE TO STEAL MONEY Janitor Had Double Reason for Remembering Old Adage, "Honesty Is the Best Policy." "Left that money at the office, by thunder," said Mr. Lewis aloud to himself when inquiring jabs at cont and trouser pockets had proved him walletless. "Must get it—late now—company for dinner—can't be helped—getting old," he mumbled as he hastened back to his office. He found the janitor sweeping. Now this functionary, Dave by name, had two species of sweeps, one the cleansing spirit of gratitude, the other an ingratiating sweep of favors to be asked. It depended upon whether Mr. Lewis had been, or was to be asked, for the never-to-be-renald loan of a dollar. This afternoon Dave swept thankfully. His benefactor had "lent" him five dollars to help pay the carriage bill for his late sister's genteel and long-remembered funeral. His sister had ranked high in her church, and was a dignitary in two societies, therefore the extortionate carriage bill of $20. "It she was a grand funeral, Mr. Lewis," the bereaved brother had said, as he pocketed the five and reached for his broom. Therefore, when Mr. Lewis poked his forgetting head inside of his office door, Dave's gratitude was expressing itself in raising dust and moving furniture. "Stop sweeping, Dave," he called through the veil of germs between them. "Forgot something—had to come back—late—company coming. I left my billfold. Seen it?" "Yas, sah, hit's a settin' on de suspi-dore, top ob de hat-rack, ober yonder," the janitor directed. Mr. Lewis clutched the pocketbook, started to the door, then paused. "Dave," he questioned, standing on the threshold—"why didn't you take this yourself, when you had the chance? You know that carriage bill—" "Yas, sah, I ain't forgittin' dat ere bill, but I ain't got ter steal from you, Mr. Lewis. You'll len' me de money, jes any time I axes yer." Heal by Color's Aid. H. Kemp Prosser, who designed the two interiors in the French play "Labergette," thinks persons who wish to retain their vitality and normality in war time should avoid certain colors. "Cardinal red," he said, "is the symbol of murder, hate and crucify. Sage green means vileness and brown decay. "Lemon yellow, on the other hand, suggests to persons who are sensitive to color influence, light and life. That is why I suggest this color should dominate color schemes in hospitals and homes for wounded soldiers. "In my rest room at Chelsea for soldiers the symbolical colors used were lemon yellow, mauve, sapphire, turquoise and blue. A golden piano was draped with a lemon-yellow curtain, on which were embroidered a dove bearing the emblem of peace, an Egyptian symbol expressing the keys of life and a white rose, emblem of power and silence. Beautiful lamps repeated the colors blue, mauve and turquoise."—London Correspondent New York Herald. Hen Mother's Brood of Qualls J. L. Knotts, who lives near Tipton, has a Plymouth Rock hen of such motherly instincts that she has adopted a family of qualls when she has only one chick of her own. The hen was sold to a huckster last February and when being taken to market escaped and took up her abode in a woods near the Knotts home. She was found again late in the spring, but was so wild she could not be caught. Again in June Mr. Knotts was in the woods, and to his surprise found that the runaway had one chick and sixteen young qualls. During the summer she cared for the brood and succeeded in raising everyone of them. Going to the woods at night a short time ago, Mr. Knotts succeeded in catching the hen and chick by throwing a blanket over them, but the qualls escaped. The chick is about two-thirds grown and is becoming domesticated. 'The quails are old and large enough to care for themselves and will live in the woods, but it will be some time before they will forget the cluck of their foster mother.—Indianapolis News. Leper Colony For Holland. Holland is to have a leper colony. The country is exposed to the leprosy danger owing to the considerable traffic with its East and West Indian colonies, and there are estimated to be roughly between 30 and 40 sufferers from the disease already within its borders. Plans are on foot to found such a colony in the Veluwe region, between Epe and Heerde. It will be under the control of officers of the Salvation Army who have had experience of this work in the Netherlands East Indies. Mango Introduced Into Florida. Forty-five selected grafts of mango plants have been shipped from Madras, India, to an American horticulturist who, it is understood, will transplant the trees in Florida. It is believed that the importer intends to graft the Indian mangoes on Florida stock or else develop a special plantation of East Indian mangoes in Florida. The experiment is regarded with interest, as mangoes produced in India have a high reputation for excellence. The Reason. "Jaggs is continually getting tips, but I believe he has a screw loose."

Senator Coleman Declares It Ridiculous for Twelve Men to Try Civil Cases. / Topeka, Jan. 16.—Among all the "jury" bills introduced at this and previous sessions the little bill introduced by Senator Coleman of Johnson county stands out as something new. He proposes a six-man jury for civil cases, involving amounts up to $100. "The bill grew out of what appears to me as a lawyer to be a real need," said Senator Coleman. "It is ridiculous to have to draw a jury of twelve men to try a little civil case. Six men could reach a decision perhaps more easily and the decision would be just as fair as it would be if reached by twelve men." Although his bill does not provide for it, Senator Coleman also favors the three-fourths jury measure, for which two or three bills have been introduced in the senate. "In hard fought cases," he said, "there is always the chance that efforts more or less successful, have been made to fix one juror; that there will be one man on the jury who will stand out against all the rest until the end of time and force a hung jury. With a three-fourths jury law it would require three or more such men to hang the jury and prevent a verdict. I believe nine honest men can reach a true verdict just as well as twelve. I believe the verdict of the nine would be just as nearly right as that of the twelve. Of course if any six-man jury bill should pass and be followed by a three-fourths jury law, it would be hard to divide a six-man jury up that way, but that could be ironed out."

DORSEY GREEN, Atty. for Plf2 Attest: The Cosmos Club THE BEST CONDUCTED DANCE IN THE NATION! Organized 4 years ago to fight the dance evil on its own ground. Not a dance hall, but the most powerful enemy, barring none, that the dance hall has in this city. Endorsed fully by every mother who has visited it. Knocked only by people who have never seen it. The Cosmos System robs dancing of its offensive features. Conducted a clean, decent dance weekly—a year or two before the passage of an ordinance regulating dancing, with three inspectors always on the job. We now have four and the last one finds his hands full trying to distinguish between young girls and old women. If you are not 18 don't come. No, you don't have to tell your exact age—but you must be 18. If you dance, come here, where everybody must either behave or get out. If you belong to church, and to either of the denominations that endorse dancing when conducted by the Cosmos System — why go where you belong—we don't want you. AT M. & O.

If I were a superstitious man I might give undue weight to the following incident as a bad omen. Just before Corbett had met Sullivan and while he was in training he bought a collie for $10—a wonderfully pugnacious dog, which would tackle anything. There was one thing on earth that Ned loved, and only one, and that was Corbett. And Jim loved the dog for his bravery. Ned always slept the end of his master's bed and if anybody approached the room he would give a terrible growl. In a word, he was Corbett's protector. Ned was Corbett's constant companion during training for the Sullivan fight and went with him to New Orleans. Then he traveled everywhere with his victorious master and made his appearance on the stage with him in the training scene in "Gentleman Jack." It was Ned's growls that aroused the camp one night when Corbett was training for the Mitchell fight to the fact that some persons had climbed up next to Corbett's room. It looked as if they were there to malm or hurt Corbett. In fact, when they were discovered and shot at, they shot back. Of course, Ned was the hero of the affair. When we went to Europe Jim lent Ked to John W. Norton and he remained with that man until Norton died. When Corbett went to Carson he forgot all about Ned, partly from the fact, I suppose, that his brother Harry had brought from San Francisco a beautiful full-blooded collie for whom Jim had now conceived a deep affection. Not knowing this, I thought it would be a good idea to take Ned with me when I should Join Corbett at Carson. I paid Ned's expenses across the continent in the baggage car, took good care of him and anticipated great pleasure in introducing him to Corbett again. I found Jim sitting with the beautiful colle dog in his lap. Ned, furiously jealous, sprang at the throat of the dog who had supplanted him in his old master's affections, and they had a terrible row until Corbett savagely pulled them apart and kicked Ned out of the door into the deep mow. That night Corbett, who slept in a cottage opposite the little hotel where we were training, took the collie and went to bed, and the next morning, outside of Corbett's door, with his nose on the sill, was Ned—frozen stiff1 And Corbett lost the fight—From "The Fighting Man," by William A. Brady. This Prevents Seasickness. Encouraging tests have recently been made by an eastern inventor with a self-adjusting berth for steamships. In its present form the device has somewhat the appearance of a lawn or porch swing set in a reclining position, but although it might be employed in such capacities it is primarily intended to provide a level, vibrationless bed for steamer passengers. The bunk is suspended at the head and foot from an angular beam, which in turn, is hung from the crossbar of the supporting frame. The arrangement permits the bed to remain level at all times, regardless of either the longitudinal or lateral motions of a vessel. Furthermore, the vibrations of the engines and propellers are not transmitted to the occupant of a suspended berth. The apparatus was tried out and commended by passengers and officers aboard a steamer flying between New York and Norfolk. The device is protected by patents—Popular Mechanics' Magazine. Blowing Up a Gun Position. There had been moderate firing all through the day, but, as often happens, there was now a complete calm. An officer, staring through his periscope binoculars, called my attention to a group of Germans. They were some distance back of their own front lines and were working under a screen of green branches. They were evidently laying steel plates for a machine-gun protection. The artificial bushes were almost a sufficient blind, but not quite. At that second there was the burst of a gun back of our lines. The next instant I saw a tree crash down at the exact spot where the Germans were working. A wave of black dirt rose, mixing its color into the white puff of the exploded shell. There was no more machine-gun parapet repairing that afternoon.—Lucian Swift Kirkland in Leslie's. "Daylight Saving" Works Well. "Daylight Saving Works Well. "Daylight saving" was a success in Austria-Hungary, reports United States Consul General Albert Halstead from Vienna. Commenting on the results of the "daylight saving" experiment, which began April 30 and finished September 30 last, he says that it proved most beneficial to the health of the Viennese due to the extra sunlight in working hours, and also did much to save expense for lighting. It is calculated, he reports, that in Vienna alone the people consumed 158,000,000 cubic feet of gas less and saved $142,000. The city of Vienna required 14,000,000 cubic feet of gas less for street lighting. Cocoa From the Enemy's Country. A cargo of 400 tons of cocoa recently arrived in London from the former German colony of Cameroons. Before the war the colony was Germany's chief cocoa-producing colony, and from Cameroons and Togoland she derived something like 4,000 tons a year. THE LADY AND THE DISHRAG Woman Does Not Realize to What Depths She Sinks Herself by Using Popular Expression. When a woman declares that she "feels like a dishrag" she is dragging herself down to the lowest level of still life. We doubt not from the personal appearance of that handy article of domestic utility that if any life existed at all in said rag it could not possibly fall lower or feel meaner. However, woman should never offer herself in comparison with so degraded an object for the simple reason that mankind spurs the dishrag most vehemently, and as woman exists solely for man she should not seek to lower herself in his esteem. When a rag takes up its duties in the dishpan it has reached the tag end of abandoned hope, the climax perhaps of a merry life. A dishrag might have been a lovely lady's hose in its palmy days, adorned by a silken garter and surrounded by costly lingerie. But it is not of its past that I speak. It is of its present social standing, its vulgar environment and its utter self-abandonment. "Tis. true that you may feel fatigued to a limp and loppy degree, but never can you feel so utterly wretched and beyond redemption as a dishrag."—Zim, in Cartoons Magazine. THESE SHOES WEAR 25 YEARS They Are Made of Grass and Are Still Worn by Natives in Parts of Portugal and Spain. Esparto shoes, or shoes made of the toughest and strongest of the coarse esparto fibers, are still worn in Iberia and parts of Portugal. There is no shoe made which will outlast them, not excepting leather shoes. Indeed, one pair of esparto shoes has been known to outwear a dozen tanned hide soles. This is due to their faculty of picking up and retaining in their interstices stony particles. As fast as the pebbles are worn out they are replaced automatically by others. Thus a self-soling process is constantly going on. It is not uncommon in some parts of Spain or Portugal to hear the natives boast of wearing a pair of esparto shoes for 25 years or more. The Versatile Manchurian Farmer. In the early fall in Manchuria, the natives undergo a sort of magic change from farmer to bandit. It seems something of a psychological somersault—one day a plodding farmer, the next a highwayman. After the tall knobang, or giant millet, is cut, and escape is not so easy over the bare plains, another clap of the hands and lo, a peaceful farmer once morel. It is not only the farmer who plays this exciting game; many another stalk member of the community has his little fling. Some even combine their roles, differentiating according to the seasons. With the oriental's disregard for conditions, a man is often a bandit, merchant and magistrate all at once.—Alice Tisdale, In the Atlantic. Honey in Jewish History. The numerous references to honey in the Bible are due to its being the common sweetener of the people; and to this day the Jews, who are fine old crusty conservatives, use honey in cooking where other people use sugar. Still, it had a certain distinction, and was used as the symbol of fruitfulness and plenty. When Jeroboam's wife wished to propitiate the prophet she took him ten leaves, two cakes and a crusade of honey. When Jesus reappeared to his disciples they tested his reality by giving him a piece of broiled fish and some honeycomb to cat. As for John the Baptist, it is known to all that his common food consisted of locusts and wild honey. Didn't Get the Umbrella. One of Chauncey Mitchell Dewen's best stories is the story of the spotted dog which, as a boy, he bought from a local dog dealer. "The next morning it was raining," he says, "and I took the dog out into the woods, but the rain was too much for him. It washed the spots off. I trotted the dog back to the dealer. "Look at this animal," I said. "The spots have all washed off." "Great guns, boy!" he replied, "there was an umbrella went with that dog. Didn't you get the umbrella?" Sixty Millions for Furs. Milady is spending $60,000,000 a year to gratify her fancy for furs. Practically all furs sold to the women of this country are of American manufacture. Returns to the bureau of the census show that only $3,000,000 worth of furs were imported 'during the past year. The American fur industry is now represented by 1,241 establishments employing 11,927 wage earners with an annual production worth more than $50,000,000. On Parmassus. "What's the matter with Hercules?" "Eh?" "Why did he biff the little man?" "He didn't like his line of talk. Seems the little man is an efficiency expert. He told Hercules he went through a lot of useless motions in performing those twelve labors."—Louisville Courier-Journal. His Case. "Everything I have in this world I owe to my wife." "I'm almost like you, too. Everything. I owe in this world my wife bought." MEN ARE GROWING SHORTER French Savant Years Ago Gave Out Information That Adam Was 123 Feet 9 Inches Tall. In recent years anatomists have shown in a practical way that the height of a man or woman can be increased to a considerable extent by appliances for stretching. These extensions, however, have only been of inches or fractions of an inch, and giants have not been, nor are they likely to be developed by artificial means. It was a French savant, named Henrion, who, 200 years ago, gave to the world authoritative statements as to the height of Adam and Eve. He said that the father of the race was 123 feet 9 inches high and Eve 118 feet 9 inches. He noted that from the creation of these enlarged editions of humanity, degeneration had been rapid; that Noah was only 27, Abraham only 20 and Moses but 13 feet in height. According to this French authority, if the Christian dispensation had not arrested this decrease, man by this time-200 years ago—would have been a mere microscopic object, and we may conclude that by our time he would not have been at all. M. Henrion did not give any explanation as to height of those ancients. Perhaps the most gigantic story on record is that concerning an immense skeleton, said to have been in Slocly, which measured 300 feet in length. This story, however, carries its own refutation, as it is said that found beside this giant was his walking stick, which was 30 feet long and thick as a telegraph pole. A clever calculator made the estimate that n walking stick only 20 feet in length for a man who measured 300 feet would be as ridiculous as one of seven inches for a man of ordinary stature.—Kansas City Journal. THESE BOOKS WERE DIGESTED History Furnishes Instances of Authors Being Compelled Literally to Eat Their Words. To literally digest a book is an accomplishment which few can boast of having performed. Nevertheless, a good deal of literature has been destroyed in this way at one time or another. Barnabo Visconti compelled two papal delegates to eat the bull of excommunication which they had brought him, together with its silken cords and leaden seal. As the bull was written on parchment, it was all the more difficult to digest. A similar anecdote is related of an Austrian general, who had signed a note for 2,000 florins, and, when it fell due, compelled his creditors to ent it. A Scandinavian writer, the author of a political book, was compelled to choose between being beheaded or eating his manuscript boiled in broth. Isaac Volmar, who wrote some satires against Bernard, duke of Saxony, was not allowed the courtesy of the kitchen, but was forced to swallow them uncooked. Still worse was the fate of Philip Oldenburger, a jurist of great renown, who was condemned not only to eat a pamphlet of his writing, but also to be flogged during his repast. Japanese Pearl-Oyster Farm. Japan has a pearl-oyster farm. In the Bay of Ago there has been established a plantation from which a rich harvest is obtained. In May or June stones weighing from six to eight pounds are sunk in shallow water, and in August the tiny shells begin to appear on them. The stones remain in for two months, but, since the young oysters cannot endure cold, in November all rocks in less than five feet of water are moved farther out, where the temperature is more even. At the end of three years, when the shells are about two inches across, they are taken from the water, nuclei for pearls inserted in them and replaced in the water, 30 of them to every six square feet of bottom. There they are left for four years. Then, being seven and a half years old, they are removed and scarched for pearls. Mushroom Quarries of Paris. To the south of Paris, the country is honeycombed with abandoned quarries, some of which are of enormous extent, resembling the shafts of great mines, being from 300 yards to half a mile in length and lying from 30 to 150 feet beneath the surface of the ground. In these old quarries are grown nearly all the mushrooms consumed in the French capital. Mushrooms flourish in these caverns at all seasons, and they have, in Paris, the reputation of being superior in flavor to those grown elsewhere. The worst enemy of the mushroom growers is a species of fly that swarms through the dark passages in such numbers as sometimes to extinguish the candles of the workmen. The larvae of this fly destroy the beds before the shoots have emerged above the ground. Pocket Boots for Elshermen. A pair of rubber boots so light that they may be rolled up and carried in the pocket is principally designed for the use of amateur fishermen, says the Scientific American. For wading through streams they are worn over the leather shoes, affording all the protection of the heavy boots without the inconvenience of the latter when on the way to and from the fishing ground. The boots are made of pure gum, fashion lined and have an elastic top, thus fitting tightly around the leg. SMITH'S DRUG STORE NOTICE! NOTICE! Remember you are never too far to deal with us.
