Topeka, Kan., Sept. 23.—Notwithstanding the enthusiasm which has always existed in Kansas for Theodore Roosevelt, it is undeniable that his strength as a presidential candidate is decidedly waning throughout the state. If he were the candidate of the Republican party, and if there were a chance of his election, he would, of course, sweep the state without any serious opposition. But neither of those conditions exists. The fact that his own leaders have been obliged to yield to the wave of indignant protest which swept against them on account of their effort to have Roosevelt's electors placed in the Republican column has not only proven the strength of the Taft sentiment, but it has eliminated all possibility of Roosevelt carrying the state. The withdrawal of his electors from the Republican columns has emphasized the fact that he is not the Republican candidate; and Kansas is too well satisfied with the conditions which have prevailed during the past sixteen years to follow any man, however popular, he may be, out of the Republican party. The Roosevelt sentiment has been further weakened by the universal conviction that there is no possibility of his election and that the only effect his candidacy can possibly have is to expose the country to the danger of a Democratic victory. Kansas is as far from being a Democratic state as it ever was and with the substantial collapse of the Roosevelt campaign, this state will be found in its accustomed place near the head of the Roosevelt campaign.

I am fully alive to the heart pang that a colored man endures when suffering from the contemptuous insults of white men not at all his equal either in point of intelligence or devotion to duty. I know the sense of injustice that has oftentimes burned itself into his breast when he realizes that his rights have been trampled upon and his claims to fair treatment rejected solely because of the color of his skin.—President William Howard Taft. "I KNOW THE BURDENS YOU HAVE TO BEAR." I know the burdens you have to bear. I can understand the disadvantages under which you labor. I know of your sufferings, mental and otherwise, and humiliations. I can understand what they are and how hard they are to bear, but I want you to know that there are a lot of good people in this world who sympathize deeply with you and are anxious to help you in your hard courses. From Speech of President Taft at Georgia Industrial School, Ga., May 1, 1912. THE DOOR OF HOPE—1902. I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shunt upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the ground of race or color—THEODORE ROOSEVELT. 11TH the third term party no longer a factor in the fight, with the election of Theodore Roosevelt as complete an impossibility as that of Chapin or Debs, the campaign settles down into lines that are perfectly simple and so easily understood that the most careless voter should make no mistake as to the issues involved. Either William H. Taft and the Republican party, or Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic party, will control the destinies of our country during the next four years. A vote for the Republican party is a vote for the continuance of policies with which the country is well acquainted and under which it has enjoyed unbroken prosperity. A vote for the Democratic party is a vote for policies which have been tried but once in more than fifty years and which resulted then in conditions so disastrous to the nation's business that the period is remembered as one of the blackest and most hopeless in our history. The re-election of President Bill Clinton cannot possibly bring disaster, for the country would know exactly what to expect from him and the Republican party. The election of Professor Wilson, a man wholly without experience in national affairs and the return of the Democratic party to power, must inevitably create a feeling of uncertainty—and uncertainty always spells stagnation or industrial disaster. WI take a chance when we already enjoy a certainty? W vote to. ANYBODY but Taft and Sherman and the Republican par Science and Poetry Clash In Determining the Status of Our Forbears. Carlyle turned his back upon Huxley on the streets of London because Huxley had taught that mankind had an ape-like ancestor. Why is such a thought uncongenial and repelling? No doubt that it is so, John Burroughs writes in the Atlantic. There is no poetry or romance in it as there is in the Garden of Eden myth. If we could look up to our remote progenitors instead of down, if we could see them clothed in light and wisdom, instead of clothed in hair and bestiality, how much more enticing and comforting the prospect would be! But we simply cannot, we must see them down a long, darkening and forbidding prospect, clothed in low, animal forms and leading low, animal lives—a prospect that grows more and more dim till it is lost in the abyss of geologic time. Carlyle would have none of it! The Garden of Eden story had more beauty and dignity. That this "backward glance o'er traveled roads" repels us is no concern of science. It repels us because we regard it from a higher and fairer estate. Go back there and look up, let the monkey see himself as man (if he were capable of it), and what would his emotions be? The prehistoric man living in caves and clothed in skins, if we go no further back, is not a cheering person to contemplate. And his hairy, lowbrowed forbears in Tertiary times—can we see ourselves in them? It makes a vast difference whether we see the past as poetry or see it as science. In the Bible and in Whitman we see it as poetry, in Darwin we see it as science. REFUTED THE CHARGE J She—You don't appreciate a good wife. He—The idea! I've appreciated every good one I've ever had.

The superstitions relating to marriage are perhaps the queerest of all superstitions. Even the custom of the bride tossing her bouquet to the bridesmaids is pure superstition, though we scarcely consider it such since it is so universally in vogue. Even this superstition does not compare with some of the others. Our forefathers believed in magical invocations, love philters and fastings. June was then, as now, the month of months. The Romans considered the most fortunate month of the year for the season of marriage was June. If there happened to be a full moon on the wedding day this was especially fortunate. They also believed that it meant woe to the couple married in May, and this month was always avoided if possible because it was believed that then the people united in marriage would be under the influence of spirits adverse to happy households. In those days the marriage was never considered fortunate if the bridal party, in going to church, met a monk, a priest, a hare, a dog, a cat, a lizard, or serpent; while all would go well if it were a wolf, a spider or a toad. CHILDREN STRONG AT BIRTH Are Capable of Sustaining Their Whole Weight by One Finger for Astonishing Length of Time. Medical men assert that, according to well-conducted tests, it is shown that the new-born babe is relatively much stronger than a full-grown man. The muscles of the forearm are astonishingly vigorous. A few hours after birth a baby suspended by its finger to a stick or to the finger of a grown person can sustain itself in the air for about ten seconds—in the case of particularly strong infants for so long a period as thirty seconds. When four days old an appreciable increase in the infant's strength may be noticed, and the time during which it can thus sustain itself is about $2\frac{1}{2}$ minutes for 98 per cent. of babies. The maximum is attained in two weeks. Few infants can "hang on" for more than $1\frac{1}{2}$ minutes, although it is of record that one exceptionally developed child remained suspended for 2 minutes and 38 seconds by his right hand. After that he continued to hang on with his left for 15 seconds longer.—Harper's Weekly. FINANCIAL Dick----Say, Jack, lend me $10, will you? I want to go on my vacation. Jack----Ten dollars!

Major D'Anget's reported discovery of the photographic powers of the human body, or of supposed manations from it, may contain new details of interest, but the general principle will not appear startling to those who have had experience in photography. Many photographers have learned from experience that it is not well to handle extremely sensitive dry plates more than is absolutely necessary—that, indeed, it is best while developing them to keep them at arm's length from their bodies, and even to screen them with some nonconducting substance; and they have found now and then on plates strange marks and blurs and fogs which were inexplicable save on the theory of actinic emanations from the body. The French discoverer may add some interesting information to what has thus long been known in a general way.—New York Tribune. SUN AS THE LAMPLIGHTER Novel System of Illumination That Is to Be Employed on the Panama Canal. The Panama canal, which is now nearing completion, is to have a novel system of illumination for its lighthouses. The gas used for the flame is acetylene, but the sun is to be the lamplighter! These lamps will be lit by a lamplighter nearly a hundred million miles away. The lamps will be fitted with copper cylinders exposed to the air. When the sun rises in the morning its rays will cause the cylinders to expand, and so close valves which admit gas to the burners. As the sun goes down and the air cools the copper cylinders will contract, so opening the valves and admitting gas to the burners, where it will be lighted by small pilot-jets resembling the ordinary by-pass. ARE THESE CIRCASSIAN? Two quaint daggers—the pair belong in one sheath, and are worn slung across the body from the right shoulder—are believed to be Circassian, and are owned by George W. Rhoades. The bone-handled weapons have keen blades, eight inches long. One handle is wrapped with brass wire, and the other with copper. Circassian, or Tcherkesses, is a general term applied to the northwestern group of peoples inhabiting the region of the Caucasus, now included in Prussian territory. There are many tribes and the blood is much mixed. They have few manufactures, but they have skill in making rugs, weapons and the like. Many of their women have decided beauty. Circassians are brave and hospitable, but vindictive. Their subjugation was completed in 1864, when many thousands of them emigrated to Turkey. LIFE SAVED BY YOUNG HERO By sucking the poison from a wound in his brother's foot, inflicted by a copperhead snake, Roller Driver, a 12-year-old boy of Rockingham county, Va., a few days ago saved a life. The boys were in the mountain hunting squirrels when the older one, 14 years of age, was bitten. Taking in the situation in a moment, the younger boy ripped off his suspenders and tied them tightly around his brother's ankle to stop the circulation of blood and then applied himself to extracting the venom. Making his brother comfortable, the little hero ran down the mountain, where he summoned his parents and the physicians. WHY HE THOUGHT SO. The Professor—You know the banana and the potato are almost identical in chemical composition? The Student—Yes, I thought so. "What made you think so?" "Because one looks like a pill and the other looks like a capsule." PRACTICAL MEN ON FACULTY Educators In South American Universities Have More Than Knowledge of Written Lore. Professors in the universities throughout South America are often men who practice their professions at the same time as they teach. Lawyers, doctors, engineers, architects, newspaper men, publishers and editors make up the faculty, says Dr. Edgar E. Brandon, who has just returned to Washington after a year spent in the study of educational institutions in South America. These men teach probably only three or four hours a week, but they come right in from the actual practice of their profession to do this. They are all men of considerable learning and high reputations in their communities. The best physicians, the best lawyers, and even the high state officials all willingly accept professorships in any of the colleges. This lends a certain dignity to the institutions which is sometimes lacking in the United States in spite of our better teaching methods. These men, of course, cannot make a living from teaching alone, but they combine their own profession with teaching in order to supplement their income. In proportion to the time given to teaching, professors are better paid in Latin America than in this country. TWO KINDS OF THEM. !!! The end-seat hog refused to move.

MORTALITY IN WAR War, called by the great Erasmus, "the malady of princes," has had so many victims we will never be able to reckon them up. However, it is computed that up to the middle of the nineteenth century no less than 6,860,000,000 men perished on the field of battle. In all probability the estimate is under, rather than over, the mark. You may be correct in thinking that "wars are practically over" among civilized people, but from the present-day armaments of the so-called civilized peoples it would look as though those in authority had not yet gotten over the fear of the old terror. BABY SEA ELEPHANT. A baby sea elephant weighing 500 pounds and valued at $5,000 was seized by the customs officers at San Diego, Cal., a short time ago, when it was brought there on the schooner Santa Barbara from Guadalupe Island, off Lower California. The mammal is owned by John Ramsey of Los Angeles. Ramsey protested payment of duty and had given orders to leave the sea elephant in charge of the government when a compromise was effected. The mammal was captured after a hard battle with its mother on the shores of Guadalupe. ACCOUNTED FOR. He—She didn't look as if she was having a good time at the party. She looked bored.

Price $1.00 SERVING FRUIT SALAD CARE IN ITS PREPARATION IS FIRST REQUISITE. Varieties, of the Ingredients Must be Thoughtfully Chosen and Properly Arranged—Lemon Juice May Always Be Added. Nothing but the best fruit in perfect condition should be allowed to enter the salad bowl. A salad, strictly, means something prepared with "sel," or salt. It is usually applied to dishes of herbs or vegetables, served with salt and condiments of various kinds, sharpened with vinegar. But a fruit salad answers to its name valiantly enough, and deserves it every whit as much as any salad of herbs. For the fruit flesh in itself contains salts of every kind, made up of natural compounds of acids and alkalis. Also, the sharpening acids are present in variety. Therefore the name is no anomaly. It is a sweet salad, because sugar is used; but even in the acid, herb salads, sugar is used in the dressing. The fruits, whole or sliced according to their character, must be piled up in layers, the kinds being judiciously chosen, so that dried varieties alternate with juicy ones, allowing their juice to percolate through the other fruits. In some cases this is all that is necessary to provide an excellent fruit salad, with the exception of fine sugar sprinkled on each layer, the whole being arranged in the dish in which it is to be served, and left in a cool place for some hours beforehand, so that the juices and flavors may become thoroughly blended. Orange, banana and apple (very thinly sliced) salad is excellent, as is orange, banana and pineapple (canned or fresh). The flavor in any of these salads may be improved by rubbing on the rind of a lemon one or two lumps of sugar, crushing these and using them with the powdered sugar, says the Pictorial Review. Bananas combine well with any kind of juicy fruit, and the following may be recommended: Bananas and apricots, both sliced, with a little chopped pineapple; bananas and stoned cherries, with lemon flavored sugar; bananas and raspberries, with or without some red currants; bananas and strawberries, divided in halves or quarters if very large. A greater number of fruits may be combined successfully, such as bananas, stoned cherries, sliced pineapple, melon, peaches, apricots, stoned and skinned grape, apples and pears in thin slices. Red currants and strawberries, red and white currants, and red raspberries mix well with thinly cut slices of ripe apples, or with the ever useful banana. Lemon juice helps every fruit salad. Strawberries with the addition of lemon juice are delicious. Many who have once tested this method of treating strawberries have never returned to the familiar cream. Oranges and strawberries blend excellently, but wherever there are strawberries, cherries should be excluded. Pineapple should be used sparingly where there are other fruits forming a part of a compound, as its strong flavor is apt to predominate and overpower that of the other ingredients—always a bad feature where a pleasant blend is the object to be attained. To Hold the Color of Wash Cottons. Most colored cottons are wash proof, even when in unusual colors. If they are to be used on an elaborate piece it is safer, however, to set the color first. This is particularly necessary if some of the shades are of makes not used previously. Have a number of cups filled with strong salt water. Loosen the skins, but do not untie the connecting cross-pieces, and put a skein in each cup and let it stand overnight.

"About two years ago I began to notice a breaking out on my leg. At first it was very small but soon it began to spread until it formed large blotches. The itching was terrible and almost constant. Many nights I could not sleep at all. After scratching it to relieve the itching it would burn so drastically that I thought I could not stand it. For nearly a year I tried all kinds of salves and ointment, but found no relief. Some salves seemed to make it worse until there were ugly sores, which would break open and run. "One day I saw an advertisement of Cuticura Remedies. I got a sample of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and began by washing the sores with the Cuticura Soap, then applying the Cuticura Ointment twice a day.

Death If You're is fluttering or WAS FEELING WRONG BUMP Sagacious Phrenologist Mistaken in His Conclusion, as It Turned Out. The learned professor was giving his public lecture on phrenology, and for purposes of demonstration he invited a boy to the platform, says the New-York American. After a critical examination of the lad's eranium, he turned to the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "the protuberance on this little boy's head is remarkably well developed. It is the bump of philoprogenitiveness. In the present case it proves that the boy has an extraordinary love for his parents. (Addressing the boy.) Isn't that true, Johnny?" Johnny hesitated a moment, then said: "Well, I get along pretty well with the old lady, but the old man ain't such a much." "Why, how is that, my boy?" asked the professor.

When her system is in a deranged condition, she may be predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of some organ. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected. These symptoms are calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is prepared to meet the needs of women's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. It has carried many women safely through this crisis. Woman Police Officer.

It is being put in splendid repair for the opening of said school in September or October. This school is under the control of the Ms. Olive Baptist Association and its auxillaries. The Woman's Educational and Mission Society has been one of the greatest factors in raising money for said school. The Negroes can point with pride to the good work and the present location, as it stands high and dry, leaves high water with a splendid drainage, with an outlet on three sides. The trustees have made also one of the people's money entrusted to their care and they invite the closest inspection into every detail of their work.

IS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY Chicago Paper Says People Will Not Be Misled by Statements of Governor Deneen's Opponent on "Jackpotism." Edward F. Dunne, the Democratic candidate for governor, has been making numerous speeches down state on the subject of jackpotism. According to the newspapers he has stated on a number of occasions that if elected governor of Illinois he would chase all the jackpotters over into Missouri, or put them out of business at least. Under the title "Mr. Dunne Is Absurd," the Chicago Tribune, September 23, editorially answered Mr. Dunne as follows: "Extended reports of the words and acts of the Hon. Edward F. Dunne, Democratic candidate for governor, and the Hon. James Hamilton Lewis, Democratic candidate for United States senator, do not come up from southern Illinois regularly, but such tidings as arrive have the Hon. Dunne and the Hon. Lewis swatting might and main at 'jackpotism.' "If it were not for the fear that the two swatters have become swashbucklers, and for 'campaign purposes which may seem good to them are splitting the heads and lopping off the arms of men in buckram, their activities would be a reason for joy and a cause of thanksgiving." There ought to be a lot of splitting and lopping of 'jackpotism' in Illinois. Decency is fairly begging citizens to take whatever weapons they find at hand and go after their enemy. For that reason it is a bit absurd to find two champions of morality chasing their own fancies, ignoring the realities that are directly under their noses, and laying their blown on the shoulders of men in buckram. They may come home with a mighty tale but they will have done small damage to actual corruption in the state. Governor Denesen properly calls attention to the erratic course pursued by these doughty doers of good. They take the governor's statement before the Lorimer investigating committee that for years he had understood there was bribery at Springfield. He'd have been a ninny if he had not heeded something of it. Therefore, say the doers of good, the governor knew it and he didn't stop it. He's responsible. O. bosh! "The charges were proved against the jackpotters and juries acquitted them. The charges were proved against the jackpotters and their districts re-elected them. What is Mr. Denesen? A court martial that he may order the racshel shot at sunrise? "The conspicuous jackpotters are in the party represented by Mr. Dunne and Mr. Lewis, and they are in that branch of the legislature which has fought the governor for years. "If Mr. Dunne needed a clean bill of health on this score it would be presented to him by the fact that every man jack whose name in any way was connected with any disclosure of corruption at Springfield was his political and personal enemy because the governor had interfered with the political and personal schemes to which every man jack of them was devoted. Deneen could have had their friendship and he could have had their political support, regardless of whether they were Republicans or Democrats, by keeping his hands out of their schemes. He could not send them to the penitentiary. He could not convict them in court. He could not keep many of them from being re-elected, although he tried in a number of districts. He could not keep them from organizing the house of representatives, although it is the best known fact in Illinois politics that he tried to and was defeated. "He tried to organize the house of representatives and his enemies on the Republican side and Mr. Dunne's friends on the Democratic side combined and defeated him and defeated his candidate for speaker. That combination furnished the men who were caught grafting. Every man jack of them on the house side of the legislature came out of that combination except Charles A. White, Democrat, who would not vote for Shurtleff. "On the senate side the governor tried to organize and succeeded. And every man jack of the grafters who were found on the senate side came out of the Democratic ranks and the ranks of the Republicans who were upset by the Deneen organization of the senate. "These are the facts and Mr. Dunne knows them to be facts. He knows also that the only charge he could bring against Mr. Deneen in this connection is that the governor did not loudly accuse legislators of crime he could not prove against them." Governor Deneen is running for governor on a record of deeds performed—not on a prospectus filled with promises like his opponents. WARDS GROW IN NUMBER COST OF MAINTENANCE BY STATE INCREASES RAPIDLY. Governor Denseen Shows That Burden Must Grow at Rate of $1,281,000 Byron, Oct. 3.—Governor Deneen in his short speech here gave one of the clearest explanations of the necessary increase in appropriations for state charitable institutions that has been offered the people. It also showed them what they may expect in the future if the present ratio of increase in occupants of the institution continue. The governor directed his attention to Mr. Dunne's comparison of the present administration with that of Governor Altgeld, the last Democratic administration. He said in part: "During the last year of Governor Altgeld's administration, the total number of persons cared for by the state charities administration was 8,821. The number in our eighteen state charitable institutions on Aug. 1, 1912, was 17,802. During my administrations 4,000 of these have been taken out of the poor houses and almshouses in the state, and the counties thus relieved of the cost of their maintenance, the burden being transferred from the county to the state. Permanent improvements have been made during my administration in these institutions, aggregating $4,616,670, which has placed them upon the high level of the best institutions of this character in this country or any other country. The cost of the administration of this charitable service will increase and not decrease, regardless of who is the governor of the state. The net increase of the insane alone per annum in our state is 400. During one administration of four years this amounts to 1,600, the standard population of an insane hospital. Figuring the cost by the experience of our state and other states for the maintenance and equipment of this class of institution, this will add to each administration a burden of $1,251,000." EDITORS COMMENT ON MOOSE PARTY ACTIONS Defend Governor Deneen and Declare Third Ticket is to Help Mr. Dunne. Chicago, Oct. 31.—Downstate newspapers are vigorous in their condemnation of the third ticket and the campaign that is being made against Governor Deneen and other state candidates. The Galeburg Republican Register in discussing the case of Ralph C. Otis, one of the Bull Moose leaders in Cook County, who condemned the Moose bosses and declared that he intended to support Governor Deneen and the Republican state ticket, says that "Mr. Otis is right about one thing, and that is the people are not going forever to stand with those who are eternally going around and charging all who disagree with them with being crooks." Continuing its discussion of the incident, The Republican Register think "these are the words of a man who has been right along with Roosevelt and who has become disgusted with the crowd that has rushed in and assumed leadership and brought out tickets right and left. Star Answers McCormick. The Peoria Star in commenting upon the attack by Medill McCormick and Chaucey Dewey upon Governor Densen says that "Governor Deneen did everything in his power to secure the nomination of Roosevelt. He acted loyally and in good faith according to his instructions. He could have easily prevented the primary in this state, and in that case Roosevelt would not have had a leg to stand on. In all respects Deneen acted the part of a firm friend of the party, acting according to their instructions and carrying out their wishes, and to reproach him now because he did not attach himself to their little kite that went soaring aloft is unjust and cowardly."

ISTHMUS NOT DEADLY ROUTE Figures Explode Idea That Strip Aeroson Continent Was a Thing to Be Dreaded. One of the most potent arguments against the construction of the canal at Panama, in the days when the building of this work by the United States was under discussion, was the frightful number of fatalities which were supposed to have attended the construction of the Panama railroad in the middle of the nineteenth century. "A dead man for each cross tie" was a favorite theme with the magazine writer and the politician. Gen. George W. Davis, U. S. A., first governor of the canal zone, has exploded this time-honored story by showing that whereas the number of ties amounted to 140,000, the road never employed, during its five years of construction, more than 7,000 laborers. In its first four years of operation the railroad carried 196,000 passengers, not one of whom contracted illness as the result of crossing the isthmus. THINGS THAT ARE PRACTICAL Matters of Real Use That Are Being Taught Women in the City of London. A school instructing women in the practical details of everyday life has just been established in London. Students are taught how to open a window and put up a shade in a railway carriage, how to get off and on a street car, the proper method of doing up umbrellas, how to fill a fountain pen and trim a lamp. Other courses taught include opening packing cases and tin cans, how to drive nails, how to fold clothes, how to pull corks, how to light a fire and the kind of shoe to wear to conserve health, and when to wear them. A specialty is made of the feeding and care of dogs and other animals, and the theories of sanitation. Lectures are given on the prices of food, materials for clothing and the quantities needed for a stated number of persons. HONOR ST. PATRICK Thousands of people from many parts of Ireland and other countries went, a recent Sunday, on the annual pilgrimage to Croagh's Patrick, the mountain to the south of Clew Bay, which is associated with the life of St. Patrick. It is the subject of a striking legend concerning the saint's banishing of toads and adders and other noxious creatures by the ringing of his bell. The railway company ran special excursion trains for the pilgrims to Westport, whence it is an excursion of about eight miles to the "sacred mountain," which has always been a place of pilgrimage for religious exercises, the chief of these being held at the little oratory on the summit. THREE CHAMPIONS "So they are married?" "Yes. They were married last Friday in East Liverpool." "He is a champion golfist, I understand." "Yes. He is." "And the girl?" "Is a champion bridge player." "Where do they propose to live." "With the girl's father. He's a champion bricklayer."—Pittsburgh Post. IN THE DRUG STORE "Hace you any 5-cent cigars?" asked the man. "No," replied the druggist; "but we have something just as good. Here's a 10-cent cigar." DEEPLY MOVED. "When Guffler stopped speaking everybody was crying" "Shedding tears?" "No. Everybody was crying. Put him out!" ALWAYS WORTH THE LIVING Despondency Only of the Moment, and Life Is Bound to Resume Its Cheerfulness. Of course we have all heard the query, "Is life worth living?" Perhaps we've asked it of ourselves many times, in moments of discouragement, when all things seemed to be working for the darker side, and the sunlight of hope was for the time being obscured by heavy clouds. Many are the answers—in fact, all humanity from the very beginning has been responding to the great challenge—and we are today the living exponents of the problem. If my life, your life and the life of our neighbor has been "lived" and holds the power to keep on doing so, then yes, a thousand times, our lives are worth living! But if, for some or many reasons, these lives have been spent in days of idleness, or worse, the answer is to be found on the face of the undeniable failures which are the outcome of such waste. People who are in earnest about whatever they are engaged in doing seldom have time to stop and ask such questions; they are too busy making their own and the lives of those with whom they are associated really worth while to withdraw from life's great army of workers thinkers and "livers"—merely to stand by the roadside and say, "Is it all worth while?" Some people remind us of "inauated" bodies; they are wholly unresponsive, cut off—as it were—from the influence of anything good, true and beautiful, seemingly surrounded by their own narrowness of mind and smallness of soul. And they are the ones who ask "Is life worth living?"—Exchange RATTLING ALL RIGHT! C. A. B. Speedleigh-I've just bought an automobile for $225. It's a rattling car. Needleigh—Oh! I've heart it. NOT MANY RATS FOUND The offer of the government of Jamaica of 1d for each dead rat delivered at the pumping station in Kingston, is not producing much fruit. In three weeks only 80 rats were delivered at the station, viz: for the week ending 20th July, 15; week ending July 27th, 30; week ending August 3d, 35. About a score more dead rodents were also sent to the pumping station, but afterwards transferred to the government bacteriologist. NOTHING TO IT. "Duke, do you really love me?" "I have loved you ever since I saw your father's commercial rating. But there is an obstacle to our marriage. I hear now that he made his money in trade." "That is not true. He kept a store in a mining camp, but his money was made on the slot machines."—Louisville Courier-Jourier Journal. AT THE BEACH Summer Girl (to hotel clerk)—There's a card in my room inviting guests to report any lack of attention Clerk—Yes, mise, I'm sorry if Summer Girl—Well, there is a decided lack of attention here. Why, there's hardly a summer man on the place COULD NO LONGER FIND FOOD Birds That Nested on Strassburg Cathedral Forced From Haunts to Which They Were Accustomed. At a meeting of the Linnean society of London, Professor Poulton presiding, a letter was read from Herr Paul Scherdlin, as follows: "For hundreds of years pigeons have nested on the spire of Strassburg cathedral. They increased so much that many attempts have been made to extirpate them, but in vain. During the last few years there has been a sudden and startling diminution in the number of these cathedral pigeons. I am of opinion that this manifest reduction is due to the asphaltening of the streets round the cathedral. Between the stone sets of the pavement the pigeons were able to pick up food in quantity. In consequence of the asphaltening and daily watering and cleansing of the places in the immediate neighborhood the birds have gone."—London Chronicle. WOMEN KEPT IN SUBJECTION Savages Refuse to Accord Wives Any Rights of Which They Can Be Deprivsd. Some of the savages in South America exclude women folk from every sort of public amusement, such as dancing, feasting, celebrating and other outside carrying-on. At such times the women are kept busy serving the savages with roasted monkeys, stewed turtles and crude intoxicating drinks, which the women make by primitive processes of fermentation. If they can afford it, the savages have several wives each, some of the men carrying on the custom of stealing young girls from neighboring tribes. The savage explains his having several wives this way: "This one does only garden work, and does it so well I keep her at it." Of another, he will say that she is fine at making intoxicating beverages, and so on.—New York Press. CITIZEN PAPERS A man "must have the same witnesses on his second visit for his citizen papers that he had on his first." Such is the plain demand of the law in the case. The men who begin with you must see you through to the end. If you take new witnesses on the second visit no attention will be paid to them by the court. You can see how, were the law other than it is, a world of trouble could arise. The final papers make you a full-fledged citizen, as much so as though you had lived here all your life. With such papers no foreign nation can "impress" you into the service.—Exchange. H18 CHANCE "I wish I could do something that would be absolutely new—something that no man had ever done before," said the sad-faced millionaire. "I can tell you how to do it," replied the philosopher. "How. Tell me, man, and I will make it worth your while." "Look back over your career, find out just how much of your success was due to your own genius and how much of it resulted from sheer luck and make a public acknowledgment of it." WANTED HER HUSBAND Algot Lange, who is exploring the Amazon river for the University of Pennsylvania, is authority for the statement that savage races can no longer be tempted to part with valuables in exchange for brilliant-colored cloth and beads, and that guns, knives, hammers, axes and other useful articles must be carried in the explorer's pack, if he expects to secure samples of native handicraft in the unexplored regions of the world. ---Popular Mechanica.

INCOME FROM FRENCH FOREST Beautiful Spot Made to Yield a Revenue Worth Entering on the Ledger. The forest of Compeigne, France, though a realm of beauty and enchantment to its lovers, is yet made by the state to yield an annual income of 100,000,000 francs ($20,000,000). For this purpose it appoints 7 brigadiers and 27 gardes-forestiers, besides several gardes-cantonniers. The cantonniers look after the roads, the guards protect the rights rented to the sportsman and wood cutter—the two great clients from whom these revenues are derived—200,000 francs a year being paid by the sportsman and 800,000 francs by the wood merchant. The guards must also see that these two groups of clients never encroach on each other's rights, for though the sportsman may hunt on the wood merchant's land, he cannot carry from it a splenter of green wood; while the wood merchant would have a suit brought against him if he were to pocket so much as a rabbit found burrowing under one of his dearly bought trees. And some of these trunks are dear, one of oak frequently costing him 1,000 francs. TAKING A CHANCE BEST SELLER Miss Antique—Just think of the nerve of that impecunious fellow to propose to me. Miss Caustique—Nerve? Why, it was absolute recklessness. WANTED HER. Fifteen minutes late, because of a large, fat woman who stood upon the first cabin gangplank and would not let it be hauled ashore until her husband had been hustled aboard, a steamer sailed from New York for Bremen, the other day. The large woman arrived on the gang-plank just as it was being hauled in and announced that her husband had deserted her and that the ship should not sail until he was found. A search of the pier disclosed a meek individual hurrying toward the vessel with what speed he might under half a dozen bags and packages. He was finally hauled aboard and the express steamer allowed to proceed. THAT WOULD SEASON HIM She—So you've seen papa. Did he say anything about your being too young?

He Wore a Wig and the Other Four Men at the Table Were Beld—and Talkative. In the smoking room of a west-bound ocean liner two days out from an English port five men sat at a "small game" of poker. When the chips had been cashed in the men retained their places, and presently one of the party said: "This is funny; four bald heads out of a possible five," and then there was a discussion as to the causes of baldness, in which all took part except the unafflicted man, who was a good listener for a while. He then bade the others good night. When he had gone the youngest of the group, who was less bald than the others, said: "Do you know why Mr. Blank made the getaway? He wears a wig, and is probably as bald as any of us." And for the rest of the journey Mr. Blank's head was the object of study—at a distance for he never again appeared in the smoking room. Joke on His Clerical Brother Two brothers named Chalmers, one a minister and the other a physician, lived together in a western town. One day a man called at the house and asked for Mr. Chalmers. The physician, who answered the door, replied: "I am he." "You've changed considerably since I last heard you preach," said the man, who appeared greatly astonished. "Oh, it's my brother you want to see: he preaches and I practise." Business for Father. The small daughter of a practicing physician, who evidently has an eye to business, told her mother, in no uncertain terms, that she must call at once on their new neighbor. "And why must I call on her?" asked the mother, amused at the child's positiveness. "Well, in the first place," explained the little lady, "they've got three of the scrawniest kids, and the mother herself don't look very strong." The Greatest Woman Who was or is the greatest woman in all history? Two hundred teachers answered the question and with enthusiasm and unanimity the judges awarded the prize to the one who made this reply: "The wife of the farmer of moderate means who does her own cooking, washing, ironing, sewing, brings up a family of boys and girls to be useful members of society, and finds time for intellectual improvement." Youthful Woman Pastor Rev. Miss Ina L. Morgan, of the Methodist church of Georgetown and Arrowsic, Me., is the youngest woman pastor in New England. She is in her early twenties and has been engaged in church work for nearly four years, having received a license in 1908 from Bishop John W. Hamilton, of Worcester. The beauty doctors tell us that rest is a great beautifier—but they never cite the tramp as an example. At the age of forty a man begins to live and unlearn. IT'S THE FOOD. The True Way to Correct Nervous Troubles. Nervous troubles are more often caused by improper food and indigestion than most people imagine. Even doctors sometimes overlook this fact. A man says: "Until two years ago waffles and butter with meat and gravy were the main features of my breakfast. Finally dyspepsia came on and I found myself in a bad condition, worse in the morning than any other time. I would have a full, sick feeling in my stomach, with palms in my heart, sides and head. "At times I would have no appetite, for days, then I would feel ravenous, never satisfied when I did eat and so nervous I felt like shrieking at the top of my voice. I lost flesh badly and hardly knew which way to turn until one day I bought a box of Grape-Nuts food to see if I could eat that. I tried it without telling the doctor, and liked it fine; made me feel as if I had something to eat that was satisfying and still I didn't have that heaviness that I had felt after eating any other food. "I hadn't drank any coffee then in five weeks. I kept on with the Grape-Nuts and in a month and a half I had gained 15 pounds, could eat almost anything I wanted, didn't feel badly after eating and my nervousness was all gone. It's a pleasure to be well again." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are true, and full of human interest. Adv. THROUGH A GLASS folly, “and tied to a chair, you'd un- derstand « few things that you are 80 terribly stupid abovt.” “What, for instance?” said her Jover, with a sort of dreadful calm- hess. But Betiy was noi warned. “You'd hate to see other people going off and enjoying themselves. You wouldn’t think you were seifish be- cause you wanted a little remnant of the time of the person who had sworn to love you—for better, for worse,” Gregory sprang to his feet, “Bet- ty,” he said, “you're unjust. Haven't T been with you every day—every hour that I could spare—and now, because I want to take a run around the cape with a party of old friends, you conelnde that you're badly treat- el—it isn’t fair and it inn’t just. But I'm going to stay here—so you needn't worry. I couldn't enjoy the trip-now.” Betty's big eyes blazed in her pale face. “I won't have you here,” she said, tensely. “If you want to go, you may-~and—plense don't come back today, Gregory.” He stood for a moment looking down at her. “You mean that?” “Yes.” “Dearest” Betty turned away her head. “Don’t call me that,” she said. “It’s eaty enough to say pleasant things—" “Do you think I don’t mean them ?” “I don’t care whether you do .or not,” coolly; “please go, Greg.” He went slowly down the steps of the porch, tall and striking in his blue eae cap and white shoes, ty loved ‘the ground he walked on, but when he looked back, the was gazing indifferently’ out over the harbor, “I'll be back in an hour,” he called. “Please don’t,” came her voice faintly. He stepped into his boat, started his motor and was off. Betty lay back in her invalid chair. On the table beside her were ‘the roses Gregory had sent. A book he had ordered for her lay in her lap, the Persian pussy cat he had brought to cheer her loneliness slept comfortably on a blue cushion at her feet. But these things did not make Betty happy. She wanted him to be tied to her side, She was lonely, blue, jealous. Greg’s old friends were on the yacht anchored out there near the clab house. He had gone to join them, In that group was a girl with whom Greg’s name hed been con- nected before he met Betty. Greg had. denied that there hed been an engagement. But Betty felt that there must have been something se- rious in the way of a love affair, for what girl could help loving Greg? And there was reason to suspect that ‘Greg's heart had been involved, for Helen Thorne was @ noted beauty and Betty was little and thin, and just getting over an operation for appendicitis. “And there isn’t any romance in appendicitis,” mourned little Betty, and gave herself np to the clutches of the green-eyed monster. Her mother came out presentiy. “Where's Greg?” she asked. “Gone,” suecinetly. “I’m se glad,” said Mrs. Bradford, “he's been so devoted, Betty--and men are usually a0 fussy about being tied down.” “1 hope he'li never come back,” “Betty TARA rnnnnniy i WOMAN'S BAD }.0T. “Weren’t you awfully shocked when you heard that Mrs. Spozzum hed begun suit for n divorce ” “Not a bit. Why should ! have been ?” “Well, it seems such a pity on ac count of their children.” “Yes, it would be kind of unfor- tunate if the court should decide to give them to her to take care of. But “J wouldn’t have cared, mother, if ‘he had simply gone for a boat ride~- bat to think he could be happy-—to be with other people—when I wasn’t there” Betty’s eyes were over- flowing. “Dear child,” her mother stroked ‘the thin little hands, “he felt that ‘it was @ duty—you know how good the Thornes have always been to jhim—be has known them all his life” “But Helen ‘Thorne—mother, what did people say about them ?” “You're jealous,” her mother ac- cused her. “Oh, Betty!” “Ym not,” Betty's face flamed, “but you know how Greg loves people who can do things out of doors—and—and I’m tied down here, mother—and the doctor says 1 won't be strong for months.” “I know, dear, but you must trust Gregory—you know he worships the ground you walk on—” “But I was different when he fell in love with me—I wasn’t ill.” “You're not a hopeless invalid, child—the doctor says you will be as well as ever in a month or two.” Bett, felt that many things could happen in a month. “I don’t want any lunch, mother,” she ‘said list- lessly. “I'll eat peach and take a nap.” But when her mother left her she did not sleep. She picked up a pair of opera glasses, another of Greg's gifts, and swept the picture before her with a searching glance. They were good ginsses, and when the yacht came within range she could see Greg’s tall figure and the white clad femininity with which he was surrounded. kt least there was safe- ty in numbers. She leaned back and tried to read, but presently curiosity claimed her, and again she looked through her glasses. This time she found ground for suspicion. Greg and « tall young woman in white linen were sitting alone, hidden by the sails from the sight of those on board, but plainly to be seen by Bet- ty. They were in earnest conversa- tion. And as the yacht swept out of the-harbor the invalid had a tan- talizing view of their heads bent close over some object, which Greg held in his hand. For three hours Betty lay back in her chair alone and torn by doubt. Greg did not love her. If he did, he would not have left her, She wrote a little note to have ready for him. In it she gave him up. She sealed it and laid it on the table, ready to hand him when he came. Toward sunset the yacht swept once more into the harbor. Betty’s glass, secking, seeking, found some atrange disorder on deck. The wom- en were huddled together at one end. At the other a group of sailors were gathered about a dark mass. “Mother,” cried Betty sharply, as the older lady came out with # tray. “What are they doing” “Where?” Mra. Bradford demand- ed, vaguely, “On the Thorne yacht, I don’t swe Gregory—I—oh, they’re lower- ing « boat—and—” Betty had faint- ed. ‘The sailors rowed like mad to the pier. “A doctor,” gasped one of them as Mrs, Bradford ran down to meet the boat. leaving Betty to a distrect- ed masd. “We've got a man here who went overboard to save one of the ladies, There seems to be some heart complication. We'd better get him to a doctor as soon as possible.” When Betty opened her eyes a tall young woman in white was bending ‘over her. | “You're Betty,” said the tall '@ woman always will have to assume that risk as\ictg as we heve only men for judges.” STRICTLY FRESH, Hirat City Resideai—i am think. tag of going into the egg business.

But I don’t wonder he loves you, you’re such a dear—he was telling me about you on detk just before we went out of the har- bor. He pointed you out to me, you were just a little speck on the porch.” : Betty’s face flamed. She won- dered if they had seen her spying. “I saw you—throngh the glass.” “Did you—then I’m afraid Greg's surprise won't be a surprise at all.” “What surprise?” demanded Bet- ly. “T'll let him show you. It was something he wanted me to see—to know if you would like it, Betty.” “How lovely you are,” Betty cried, ashamed before this gracious crea- ture of the smallness of her suspi- cions. “Oh, why didn’t you marry Greg? You're a better mate for ‘him than 1.” The tears which had been near the surface all day now overflowed ‘and Betty sobbed. “My dear, my dear,” Helen mur- ‘mured. “I didn’t marry Greg be- cause we didn’t love each other. We were only good friends, and next ‘month I am going to marry the only nan in the world for me.” | That night Greg, pale as Betty, ‘and much more interesting as an ‘invalid, sat beside her on the porch. Together they sooked at the moon, ang gold above the waters, but they said little until Greg took from ‘his pocket little box and opened it. Within parkled a lovely ring, which, in radiance, matched the moonlight. “It’s for you, Betty,” he said. But Betty had a confession to make. “I thought you didn’t love me,” she whispered, “this morning when you went away. I was afraid you loved—Helen.” He fitted the ring on her thin little finger, then drew her to him. “This ring must be a pledge,” he said, “of faith and trust. And the next time you look at me through the glasses, Betty—look | through rose-colored ones.” Betty buried her shamed face in his coat. “You knew?” “Yes. That’s why I didn’t wave to you I knew you were watching —and—it wasn’t worthy of you, dearest.” Then as if afraid that his little sermon might hurt, he kissed her. “But the ring seals a new contract,” TEACH THE WIRELESS, Northamptonshire education com- mittee decided the other day to provide the village school at Bug- brooke, near Northampton, with two seaffold-poles to be used in connec- tion with experiments in wireless telegraphy.

FOR A JAPANESE LUNCHEON Abundance of ion a Necessity, and They Should Be in Their Appro- priate Season. The first requisite for a Japanese affair is an abundance of flowers. Of course, cherry blossoms are the favor ite, or wistgria, both of which are cleverly imitated by using tissue pa- per. There is not a month in Japao that does not have its own special flower. In August the lotus is Im bloom, in this country the water or pond lily makes a good substitute. Use delicate paper napkins of Japanese import. They are much softer in texture than the ones of American manufacture. Of course rice, tea and fish muat figure in the menu, A delicious com- dination ts creamed chicken in rice ‘cups with mushrooms, a sandwich of anchovy or some fish relish and & salad of radishes and cucumbers (both of which the Japs are very fond) ‘would be a fire combination. Have a fruit foe, preferably cherry, with can- ‘died ginger. Another good dessert is ‘thee jelly frozen, served with whipped ‘cream and a fruit sauce, If practi- cal it would be typically Japanese to serve each guest individially on @ amall tray. BRING ULSTER UP TO DATE W Winter Garment Is Again to Be Used These Suggestions Are in Order. If you are going to have your ulster repaired why not see if you cannot bring it up to date by copying @ detail which is @ distinguishing feature of the latest English ulster in fur. This model, made very similarly to the American coat differs from it salient- ly because of its collar which is a deep equare extending to or a trifle below the waist in the back ard in front is simply two narrow tabs which cross below the chin, The collar on a cloth ulster might be of velvet, plush or moire unless Hudsan Bay seal, mus- quash, squirrel or some short-haired pelt were preferred. But if anything Save fur is used the edges of the col- lar must be weighted with leads. Oth erwise they will roll up and the neck finishing promptly lose its shape and style. Fresh Tomatoes All Winter. Gather smooth, ripe tomatoes with the skin unbroken; put in stone Jars; melt lard, let cool and pour over to matoes and cover two inches above them; set in cellar; when taking them out for use, save lard, melt and pour back over the remaining ones, keeping them always covered with the lard. This is a housekeeper's suggestion well worth trying. It bas not been tested by the Heart of the House. To keep both ripe and green toma toes for a limited time, pull the vines before the first frost, hang them in & dark, cool place and use the ripe ones as needed, Some of the more mature green ones will ripen. Spice Cake. Cream one and one-half cups of butter, add two cups of fine granu- lated sugar and beat light; add one cup of molasses, one cup of milk, four well-beaten eggs, dnd last, five cups of flour sifted with one teaspoon of cloves, one and one-half tcaspoons of cinnamon, one-half a nutmeg grated, and six level teaspoons of baking powder and, last, two cups of seeded and cut raisins. Bake slowly. Bathtub Stainc. Stains of an enamel bathtub may frequently be removed by rubbing on vinegar and salt. They should re- main for 2 moment-and then be wash- ed off. Any sort of rough sand soap is bad for a tub and none but a good laundry variety should be used. Once a week the enamel should be gone over with kerosene and then thor oughly washed.
