Of all the beautiful sites in the west, none is more beautiful than the one on which Western University is situated. Sast, west, north, south there lies stretched far as the eye can reach, a beautiful landscape, and as one gazes about him, mother nature compels his to exclaim, "How delightful" as he breathes in healtha new vigor, ambition and knowledge. Aside from its being in one of the most enchanting epots, the University itself is an imposing spectacle. Stanley Hall is a beautiful pressed brick structure and is the seat of the industrial work. There the tailoring is done, under the supervision of the supervision of the efficient supervisor, Prof. Bates who has extraodinary large classes. In the dressmaking department, Mrs. Gross is conducting classes heretofore unequaled in the history of the school. Prof. Garret has a set of young people in stenography and bookkeeping which promises to compete favorably with any in the business world. Prof. Graham has an exceptionally large, bright class of students who will finish in printing this year, and the work done in architecture and carpentry, under the direction of the genial and efficient Prof. Starr, is in itself significant of the upward stride of this school which is teaching the young men and women trades and how to work well. On the third floor of Stanley Hall is the boy's dormitory. The rooms are neatly and comfortably furnished. The girls dormitory is some distance from the boys' and is called Ward's Hall. The girls' building is of white stone and no one need wish to see a more homelike place than the rooms of the young ladies. The young ladies are under the supervision of Mrs. Crews, who is gaining the love of all of her charges by her motherly, unbiased and untiring attention. Mrs. Crews also teaches literature, history, and Latin. Mrs. L. M. Edwards, the most lovable of women has by her sweet disposition and unequaled intellect and refinement, won the heart of every one connected with the school. Here is the chair of science and her work is a credit to any institution. Prof. Gregg, refined and good natured, very thoughtfully teaches his classes in logic, psychology, mathematics and german. The music of the school is far in advance of the average school of the kind in the country. Prof. R. G. Jackson, dean of the department, is one whom nature endowed with a love of music, and is earnestly working to bring the work to the highest standard attainable. He has the largest enrollment in piano and vocal music and harmony in history of the school. Rev. J. S. Johnson already has broken the record in the theological department and has as promising class in theology and oratory as any school in the country. The assistants in the Literary department, as Misses Anna Britt and Leona Troutman. The former a graduate of the school, the later a teacher from Colorado who is taking special work in the school with a view of perfecting herself for better work. The above able corps of teachers are laboring earnestly for the uplift of humanity at large, and their labors combined with the refined religious enviroments can have but one result SUCCESS. All of the work of the school is supervised by Dr. Vernon, the well known negro educator who is so eloquently pleading o place for Negro boys and girls among the good, noble and intellectual, and his efforts are having a telling effect in the increased attendance at the school this year. When a man has for his aim the good of others, by sacrificing, unselfish labor, success is bound to crown his efforts. Dr. Vernon has succeeded in getting in one of the most approved courses of study and is conducting one of the most progressive institutions of learning in the United States. The athletic associations are young but vigorous and promising. There are now over 100 students here and President Vernon says more are coming, according to requests for catalogues and rooms. MERE OPINION. One race problem we will have always with us—the race for the dollar. A sublime word-painter may fall miserably when he tries to paint the porch. It is said that there is a right way to do everything, but nobody has ever found the right way to be a sot. Noah would probably have been foolish enough to remain out if he could have picked up some other man's umbrella. In estimating the righteousness or wickedness of a man we should consider the time in which he lived, and the conditions surrounding him. Henry VIII. might not have been a wifemurderer if he could have had a South Dakota handy. THRILLING MOMENTS When a man who hates onlons finds out that his sweetheart is very fond of them. When one receives a long-expected and cherished letter and has no chance to open and read it. When we hear for the first time the darling child of our heart repeat some of our own bad words. When a man is dressing for some fine occasion, where he had anticipated pleasure and attention, and finds he has not a clean collar to his name. When reading a celebrated and thrilling book, achieved from the library with difficulty, and the pages from sixteen to seventy have been left out in the binding thereof. Prince Henry's Ruse. While attending the recent regatta at Travernunde, Prince Henry of Prussia walked a few miles to the railway station at Eutin. He was recognized by some boys, and presently had such a crowd about him as to impede his progress. To get rid of the boys he resorted to strategem, telling he he would give a mark to the one who would reach a place known as the Waldhalle. They all started on a run, and the prince duly rewarded the winner on reaching the place. Cocoanuts. A cocanat grove begins to bear fruit after six years, the crop being gathered about two years later. Almost every part of the tree can be utilized. The coarse fiber of the bark is woven into the familiar cocoa matting, and used for all sorts of rough purposes. The leaves will serve as a thatch, and the strong midribs make excellent brooms or twine. The big central half bud is cooked and eaten, tasting much like cabbage. The Impatient Father. "Mr. Phamley," began the young man, "with Emma's consent I have come to say that I would like to take your daughter away from you next June, and——" "What?" shouted her father, starting up. "Why-er—I trust you have no objection. Surely you can't expect her to stay with you all the time——" "I didn't expect her to stay with me all the time till June. What's the matter with this October?"—Philadelphia Press. THE TABLE IN SUMMER. Meetesses at Newport Discard the Accented Covering. "We don't use any tablecloths in summer," said a clever housekeeper the other day, "and you can't think what a saving of work it is. The laundress has so many tub frocks and shirt waists to do up each week she is quite overwhelmed as it is. Rather than tumbled cloths I prefer a bare table. Beside, even for dinner at night, the polished table, with its handsome centerpiece, its flowers and its silver and pretty china, is attractive. It seems to me quite as elegant as a table with a white cloth over it, and it is infinitely more summery. Through the summer we try to live in a summer-like way, leaving for cold weather the amusements and customs of winter and civilized life. We find it lends variety and zest to existence not to eat and do and wear the same things all the year round. Don't you think there's something in it?"—Newport News. BREAKING IT TO HIM SOFTLY. Stammering Clerk's Explanation Was a Good One. In a certain law office in this city there is a clerk who is afflicted with occasional fits of stammering. Recently he was sent to serve some papers on another lawyer. Upon presenting himself before the man he had to see he drew out the papers and tried to make a few explanatory remarks, but for all his gagging and coughing not a word could he utter. The lawyer who was to be served was of an irascible temperament, and he stood the clerk's sputtering as long as he could. "Come, come!" he finally exclaimed, "are you a process server or what?" "N-n-o-n" gasped the wretched clerk, "I'm-haw-ah—I'm'm-an-an elo—elocutionist."—New York Press. NAMES OF FABRICS. Muslin is named for Mosul in Asia. Bandana is derived from an Indian word signifying to bind or tie. Serge comes from Xerga, the Spanish for a certain sort of blanket. Callco is named for Calcut, a town in India, where it was first printed. Alpaca is the name of a species of llama from whose wool the genuine fabric is woven. The name damask is an abbreviation of Damascus; satin is a corruption of Zaytown, in China. Velvet is the Italian "vellute," woolly, and is traceable farther back to the Latin vellus, a hide or pelt. Cambric comes from Cambrai; gauce from Gaza; baize from Bajac; dimity from Dametta and jeans from Jean. Blanket bears the name of Thomas Blanket, a famous English clothier, who aided the introduction of woolens into England in the fourteenth century. Shawl is from the Sanscrit sala, which means floor, shawls having been first used as carpet tapestry.—Philadelphia Bulletin. POOR RICHARD JUNIOR. Prophecy is the business provided you don't invest in it. Few men are as lucky as they seem, or as unlucky as they think they are. The friend in need sometimes ceases to be a friend when he tells his need. Big fish swallow little fish—but they don't call it benevolent assimilation. Truth and politics do not often sleep in the same bed, because politics wants all the covering—Saturday Evening Post. Often the explanation has nothing to do with the case. --- ENTERTAINED IN WYANDOTTE. The Choir of Allen Chapel was pleasantly entertained by Miss Grace Bell at her home 2019 Water street, Kansas City, Kansas, last Friday night. All had a joyful time. Miss Bell is a charming young lady and did honor to herself by the way she entertained. The room was decorated with flowers and from the hanging lamp in the center of the room were sashes of Old Glory running to all corners of the table. A dainty souvenir was given to all. Those present were the Misses Ida and Daisy Foster, Miss Emma Collins, Miss Ophelia Watts, Miss Levaet Jackson, Mrs. Emma Burnett and Mrs. Johnson, Messrs. James Cess, Geo. Ross, J. A. Roberts and B. Allen Morris. MRS BOOTH:TUCKER Beyond debate, the brightest, bainiest and most beautiful woman in the Salvation Army was its famous consul. Mrs. Booth-Tucker, daughter of Gen. William Booth and wife of the commodore. Her sudden and terrible death in the railway wreck near Marceline, Mo., will shock the rank and file of the Salvation Army the world over. HALLOWEEN ON THE PASEO. Misses Dasy and Ida Foster entertained quite a number of ladies and gentlemen at their home, 1215 Paseo, Saturday evening. Many games were played. Music was plentyful and all had a jolly good time. LIFE'S LESSONS The most vicious dog barks least. A thief is one who takes liberties. The babyless go-cart is not yet in vogue. Beauty is skin deep, and few have thick skins. Debt is the hangman's noose around prosperity. Ridicule has torn down more than it has ever built. The saddest thing in life is to have nothing to live for. Too many high balls will lead you to the "three balls." Love is an inward itching of an outward alloverishness. Jealousy is acknowledged superiority—in the other fellow. The stock broker is usually in touch with his customer's purse. What you do to-day is certain; what you plan for to-morrow is uncertain. If every idle word must be accounted for, some folks would better keep quiet. Whisky and water is a good "mixer" to the chap who takes too many. There are more insane people outside the asylums than there are in them. The man who marries for money has no kick coming if there isn't any love in the home. A brave man's honor and a true woman's love have no decline on the stock exchange of life. A man is caught more times in his speech than a woman, because you can't interrupt a woman. The popular notion that our forefathers held about having large families seems to have gone out of date.—New York Herald. The Other Girl. Ho fair you looked that night in May Wh. e you and music held full sway! With eager haste I clasped your waist. To claim you for a twirl; And when, the dancing done, I told To willing ears the story old, Your soft reply was "yes," and I Forget the other girl. In lustrous silk and filmy veil You stood before the altar rail, A bride as sweet as one could meet, Of womanhood the Pearl; But as we turned to face the aisle, A shadow crossed your winning smile, And, in a pew in plainest view, I saw the other girl. Dear Rose, you are a charming wife! For ten glad years you've made my life A happy lot, and I would not Some Pointers on Trousers. Some Pointers on Trousers. A man's trousers, when a tailor presses them in the summer, are nearly always pressed with the ends turned up, but in the winter they are pressed turned down. A tailor says: "Trousers are pressed turned up in the summer because it is presumed that every man wears them turned up in this season. He wears them so because in the summer he wears low shoes, and trousers that are not turned up catch at the back in such shoes. But turned up, they don't touch the shoes; they don't catch in them; they set right. That is the main reason why we turn up trousers in the summer." Directing the Rainfall The Mandans, a tribe of American Indians, have a curious custom as regards producing and stopping rain. This business is mainly in the hands of the young men, who volunteer to stand in turn upon the roof of a hut from sunrise to sundown vociferously commanding the rain to fall or cease. They are assisted by the medicine men, who meanwhile perform their mysteries inside the hut. The young men who fail retire in dfs grace, but the winner ranks as a medicine man, an honor always won, for the cere mony is kept going daily until success is attained. TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD To be caught in a lie is to be mentally blackballed by the catchers. To tell lies about oneself is bad, but to falsify regarding another is an unpardonable act. The person who is popular is the dependable person. The end of the habitual liar is ostracism. Men and boys may lie fluently, but they are particularly shy of a girl whose word can not be depended upon. Also, is it so easy to be detected. Nemesis is forever dodging the steps of the liar, and there is no sin more certain to be quickly found out. It is economy to be truthful. It pays. It is dignified. It may offend a few to refuse information desired, but it will offend more to pervert verity. It is so easy to read about a great play and to "infer" you have seen it—to speak intimately of personages whom you know only by hearsay, sight or in a casual way. There are no white lies. Petty lying is contemptible. It is so easy to "infer" that you are a guest of a hotel whose note paper you have begged from a rich friend. To suppress a confided truth is not to lie, but to re-dress the truth in order to punctuate a remark or magnify your own or another's importance is to cheapen yourself utterly.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Charitable Priest. After distributing his ready money (£5) to the families of the victims of the Paris "tube" accident, M. Lanusse, chaplain of St. Cyr military school, pawned his cross and ring, a present from Pope Leo XIII, for 24 shillings and gave that away also. NUMBER 33 LEXINGTON NEWS. A mass meeting was called Thursday night, October 29th, of the ladies for the purpose of organizing a union to regulate labor prices. Mrs. Florence Hayden was elected temporary chairman. She explained to them the object of the meeting. There were several speeches made by Mrs. Caroline Hughes, Mrs. Florence Galbreth, Mrs. Jennie Paris, Mrs. Bulureson, Mrs. Liza Wade, Rev. Gilbert and Mr. A. W. Walker; after which they began to organize by electing the following officers: Mrs. F. Haydon, president. Mrs. Pinkie Mullin, vice president. Mrs. Lula Colley, secretary. Mrs. Mammie Hicks, ass't see'y. Mrs. Emily Gates, treasurer. The president appointed a committee on by-laws and constitution, to report on the 5th of November. If they are right in the effort, they ought to receive a report of every man. If we want strong men and women we must have strong mothers. We cannot have sarong mothers unless we support our women. Any women who washes hard all day, is not able to give proper attention to her child. Every colored woman ought to join. NOTICE. The Executive Committee of the Interstate Literary Association will hold its annual meeting soon to transact business relative to the session which is to be held at Fort Scott, Kansas, during the holidays. All literary societies will please select delegates, and send names of same to E. J. Hawkins, 12 Hendrick street, Fort Scott, Kansas, or E. G. Stafford, 505 Washington avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. Enrollment fee for new societies, $1.50; for old ones, $1. Please attend to this at once, as al clubs who wish to be represented on the program must report on or before November 21, 1903. T. W. BELL, President. E. G. STAFFORD, Cor. Sec. JOTTING8 The soul can be horribly cold-blooded. Confidence is seldom lost, but often sadly misplaced. A girl isn't necessarily timid because she jumps at a proposal. The dark ages are those pertaining to women of unquestionable years. A good son maketh a good husband — but he is worthy of a better fate. Bables cry most when they realize that they look like some of their relations. Don't make the mistake of giving a man advice which doesn't confirm his own opinion. Nervous prostration has a pretty hard job when it tackles a man whose wife supports the family. Sometimes there is more in the adjective than you suspect when you speak of a criminal lawyer. Usually the cheerfulness of the bride's father would seem to indicate that he is the best man at the wedding. It is to weep every time one sees a well-dressed woman being dragged down the street at the end of a string by a dog. Hard on the Doctor Being a doctor in ancient Babylon was a risky matter. One of the 282 laws of Hammurabis, recently excavated at Susa, was that if a doctor made a surgical operation and the patient died he not only got no fee, but had both his hands cut off.

Clarke, Democratic can- didate for the United States Senate in Ohio, opened the campaign in his state with the statement that tho country was face to face with a panic and industrial depression, all, accord: ing to Mr. Clarke, brought about “by the disturbance of business caused by the high tariff taxes,” Save during a brief period, when Democratic views on the tariff were In legislative effect this country has been under high protective tariff for ‘a gen- eration. During all that time, save during the period when the Democrat- fe tariff was in effect, this country has steadily advanced in wealth and pros perity. Its industrial expansion has been the marvel of the civilized world. ‘Under this tariff system {t has become the foremost industrial nation of the world, and its commerce has expanded in like proportion. Since the present tariff law came into effect the advance of the country in all of these direc- tions has been immeasurably greater than ft was during any similar period of time in the nation’s previous his- tory. This 1s the condition which has been brought about, in Mr. Clarke's lan- guage, by “the high tariff taxes.” Re- publicaus are perfectly willing to ad- mit that the conditions which the country 1s enjoying are the direct re- sult of the application of the protec- tive tariff principle. They are_per- fectly willing that the responsibility shall rest on them for bringing about these results. The “disturbance of business” which has followed since Democratic legislation on the tariff was repealed and Republican legisia- tion on the subject was substituted, is such a disturbance as has brougbt re- liet and gratification to the home of every wage-earner in the land, Mr. Clarke says the credit 1s due to Re- publican legislation.

A Boston druggist who went to Maine two years ago told the farmers and lumbermen in Tilden he would give from 25 to 50 cents for every skin of the Down East water snake they could send him. He had a great demand for them from customers who made them into belts and wore them around their waists next the skin as a relief for rheumatism. Owing to the retiring dispositions of water snakes few were captured and the druggist increased his offer to 75 cents for whole skins which were four feet in length. Even this did not bring as many as he wished. Then the state of Maine placed a bounty of 25 cents a head on hedgehogs, and all the hunters forgot the premium on snake skins in the zeal for the new way of earning money. Last week while three boys were building fires at the mouth of the --- --- My cousin and I live in a little cottage just large enough for two people and a maid, with an extra room for an occasional visitor. The cottage is situated in one of the numerous suburbs of New York. Among other things in which we economized were clocks. No handsome timepiece adorned our mantels. I had a gilt clock, about as large around as the watch which our great-grandfather used to carry. It cost me 75 cents.: My cousin had one of the same make, as large as a tea saucer, perhaps. If we had owned watches, what I am going to tell might never have occurred. Preoccupied as we were with our business, and our own petty concerns, neither of us observed the conduct of the clocks when they were together, although if we had looked with all cur eyes, we probably should not have seen anything unusual. Just a big clock and a little clock ticking away on the shelf. How could we guess that they were talking to each other and laying foundations for an intimate friendship? After a time my cousin went away on a vacation. I and my little clock sallied down alone to breakfast and were alone upstairs at night. No friendly voice or ticking sounded from the next room; it was quiet as the grave. On the fourth evening of my solitude I found on retiring that my clock had stopped. I laid it over first on one side, then on the other, for I remembered once having made a clock go by turning it on its side. All to no purpose! I had to go up stairs and arrange with Nora to call me in the morning. At the breakfast table I repeated the shaking operation at intervals of two or three minutes. It was of no avail. There would be one or two languid ticks, and that was all. The next night my cousin returned. When I told her my clock had failed me she remarked wisely: This poem was written by Henry Thompson Stanton, born in Alexandria, Va., in 1834, and a resident at the time the poem was written of Maysville, Ky. There is no open door for a moneyless man.

Which gives back to the sun his same Mike Nolan was smoking comfortably in his yard in East Burlington one evening and a friend of his was leaning over the fence talking to him. As his eyes ranged over the yard he caught sight of the old billy goat. "Mike." says he, "I see you have the goat yet." "Oh. yes," says Mike. "I thought you said you'd kill the goat." hetic "Tickers" "It needs cleaning, of course. It can't be worn out already." "It is only a short time since it was cleaned." I said. "But I'll have to take it back and find out what is the matter." From force of habit I took the clock with me to breakfast the next morning. Realizing my mistake, I gave it a vicious little shake, as I set it in its usual place beside the big clock. Glancing up from time to time during the meal, we saw the little thing ticking away as joyously as it ever did. "Probably I wound it too tight, and my shaking it so much has finally lossened it, so it can run again," was my surmise. A month or so afterward the same thing happened again, and we laughed about it. The third time I did not wait for my cousin to return, but wound up her clock which she had left behind, and took them both with me to breakfast. And the little clock, which repeated shakings had failed to set to work, started off as joyously as ever, and then a fourth time the same thing occurred; only then I did not wait until morning, but brought the big clock into my room and set the little one beside it on my bureau. The susceptibility seems to be all on the part of the little one; the big one is apparently indifferent. The little one stands the separation very well for a few days; then, apparently, the loneliness is too much for it and the sight of its big friend is necessary to rouse it to action. Is there a scientific reason for this occurrence? or is it merely a coincidence? Is there a process of evolution in what we call inanimate matter and has it just arrived at that stage when the moral qualities are being developed and attachments are formed corresponding to human friendships? My cousin and I are still asking each other those questions. worldly estate; Walk down in your patches and find **1** Who opens a pew for a moneyless man. Any law for the cause of a moneyless man.

An' so I got down me owld gun and took the goat out into the corner of the yard and tied him to the fence and stood fornust him to shoot him. And he gave me a kind of a knowing look like, and I minded the time when he was a little goat and played wid the children, and I couldn't kill him looking like that. So I took him down to the railroad track and hitched him between the rails and went up behind the wall until the express train came along. Presently I heard the train coming and I says to meself: 'Ole man, ye're gone now, Ye was a good goat in yer day, but ye're gone now.' An' wnd that I heard the whistle a blowin' and the brakes a grinding and the men hollering, and I says: 'What's that goat done now?' I ran to the track, and what do you think? That old goat had coughed up Finnegan's shirt and flagged the train!" cave at the end of Beech Hill pond and trying to smoke out a score of hedgehogs which were inside, they noticed that water snakes were swimming down the brook which emerges from the cave. It was then that they remembered the price paid for snake skins, and for two hours they piled green brush on the fire and killed snakes, paying no heed to the choking hedgehogs which ran by them to gain fresh air. The smoke filled the cavern so thoroughly that the snakes abandoned their den to fall under the clubs of their slayers. In two days more than four hundred snakes were slain and their skins sent to Boston by express. Three days later the druggist who cured rheumatism wired the shipper that he had all the snake skins he could use for a year, and asked that no more be sent, as he would not pay for them. CHINAMAN HAD HIS NERVE. Lowly Celestial Walked With England's Highest Nobles. Queen Victoria, with the prince constr and her family, attended in state the opening of the great exhibition of 1851. While the choir was singing the "Halleujah chorus" Chinaman, superbly robed, suddenly emerged from the crowd and prostrated himself before the throne. No one knew who he was. He might be the emperor of China himself come secretly to England to share in the great doings. The lord chamberlain, greatly perplexed, applied to the queen and the prince for advice and instructions. He was informed that there must be no mistake as to the stranger's rank and that it would be best to place him between the archbishop of Canterbury and the duke of Wellington. In this position of honor the Chinaman, with magnificent dignity, walked through the buildings, to the delight and amazement of all who watched. Next day it was discovered that he was the keeper of a Chinese junk which had just cast anchor in the Thames, and which everybody was invited to visit on payment of a shilling a head. Tree Forms Natural Arch In the Antelope Valley of California grows the strangest yucca tree of all the western dessert. The yucca is a tree not given to whims; it has been described by Van Dyke as having "a tall stalk, rising like a shaft from a bowl and capped at the top by nodding creamy flowers." But the strange arching yucca is famous for its curious form. Nobody watched it grow; all that is known about it is that it has two roots, its great stalk or trunk describing a graceful arch, rotted firmly into the ground at each end. At the top of the arch a great branch, like an extended arm, shoots forth as if pointing out the way. The arch is so high that a tally-ho coach could easily pass under it. To the Pioneers.

We dared not throw it aside, lest the unsophisticated heathen should drink it is a cheering or medicinal beverage. We had no time to wait and empty it, as the fatal fluid would only trickle drop by drop through a chink which had been cautiously and laboriously excavated with a blunt hunting knife.

Parker, a well-known dentist of Grand Rapids, Mich., has a unique scheme for securing pure air in his sleeping-room and thus improving his health. It is the very simplicity of Dr. Parker's invention that strikes the observer most forcibly. His room is situated on the ground floor, and a window of unusual size opens to the west. Outside of this window, a light frame work of maple is constructed, and over this is stretched some finely woven cloth. This is the filter. It stops the entrance of rain and drafts and catches the cinders and numerous impurities of the atmosphere of a manufacturing district. Once in bed and with curtain closed and slide open, there is an unrestricted passage way for the filtered air to the lungs of the person in bed, but not satisfied with this, Dr. Parker erected a ventilator pipe on the top of the box. This extends clear to the ceiling of the room and at its lower end, about two inches from the top of the box, a gas jet is inserted. Before retiring the patient lights this jet. The heated air rises naturally, passes out of the top of the ventilator pipe and forms a vacuum in the pipe which is immediately filled by the fresh air from out of doors. This keeps up a continual circulation, and the sleeper's lungs can never take in the same air twice. The Toilet of a Mandarin A recent book on China contains the following account of a mandarin's toilet: "A Chinaman always sleeps with his clothes on—that is, he removes the outer garments and, having undone the waistband, anklets, collar and so on, retires to rest in his linen. The first thing on getting up is to clean his teeth, which is usually a long and noisy operation. In order to do this he takes a large mug, a silver tongue scraper, a brush and often a bit of willow twig and goes out into the courtyard to complete this part of his toilet. One of the handmaids has already filled the copper basin with warm water and brought 'the rag.' Often and often have I enjoyed the luxury of the 'hotel rag' at Chinese inns. This rag is a purely Chinese institution and consists of an old dishcloth dipped in boiling water. The mandarin rubs his head, face, neck and hands with the family rag, ties his drawers at the ankles, hitches himself up generally, puts on a pair of silk leggings and a long robe and his undress toilet is complete."

FOUND THE TOWER WELL. Mason Solves Problem That Has Puzzled London, Antiquarians. For ages antiquary after antiquary found himself baffled by a simple problem at the Tower. How, in the old days, did the garrison get a supply of drinking water? The antiquary could show you the original fireplace at which William the Conqueror warmed his hands, could point approximately to the spot on which the murdered princes fell; he could lead you to the place where Henry VIII's queens were butchered, and to the tombstones that collapsed upon their poor bones; he knew the tiny dungeon in which Sir Walter Raleigh spent twelve dreadful years hidden from the light; and could have you in a twinkling in the stone dog kennel where still remains the ring to which they chained Guy Fawkes. But how these unfortunates and their jailitors drank, none could tell. The Thames hard by was not the source, they were sure. Organized search was vain. Then there came a thick-headed, unimaginative mason, to whom and his fellows the work of converting certain of the historic dungeons into store-houses for war material meant 9½d an hour and no more. His pick struck through the flooring of the corridor from which the prisoners used to enter their cells. Behind these, latter and corresponding with the main one ran, and still remains, the little secret corridor along which eavesdropping officers tiptoed to listen to conversations between captives, for the purposes of evidence. A few blows from the pick brought to light the mouth of a pit. Sixty feet down was water—thirty feet of it. The mason had happened upon the historic well for which search had been made in vain for centuries! It was as perfect as the day that the Conqueror sunk it. To-day it still carries its thirty feet of sweet spring water. KEY IS A MONSTER. Weighs Nearly Two Pounds—Relic of Old French Prison. Nowadays the smallest key is made to turn the largest locks, but in END OF THE KEY strange comparison to this is a big key now in the possession of a civil war veteran living in Bangor, Maine. The key is one of the largest, if not the very largest, ever seen in this vicinity, weighing one pound and thirteen ounces. The key was picked up on the site of an old prison at Morganzia Bend, La. about 100 miles above Baton Rouge. On the approach of Admiral Farragut's fleet during the civil war, the prison was burnt and the inmates fled. The prison was built by the French long before Louisiana was purchased by the United States and was used by those people as a confinement place for negro slaves brought there from other climes. The building was burnt for fear it would give some shelter or protection to the enemy. While the union troops were passing by the key was picked up by one of the soldiers and, considered somewhat of a curiosity, was taken along. It proved to be quite a load together with all the trappings and rations that the soldiers had to carry in those days. But the soldier carried it and finally landed the article at his home. Locksmiths who have examined the key say that it must have fitted an oaken lock, then much in use. To bear this theory out a search of the ruins of the prison at that time showed no trace of an iron lock which the key might have fitted. The oaken lock must have been at least two feet square to admit a key of such proportions.—Bangor Commercial. Remarkable Apple Cluster.

These apples are natural fruit, not very large, of a soft pinkish color, and are covered with a bloom, so that at a short distance they resemble peaches. The Blessing of Toil.

The Teacher Won: Hinton, Ky., Nov. 2. For over two years two of the best physicians in this part of the State have been treating Mr. E. J. Thompson, a popular local school teacher, for Diabetes. They told him that but little could be done to help him. He made up his mind to try a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says: "They saved me when the doctors held out no hope. I took in all about ten boxes. I will always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good they have done for me." Many people, and some physicians, still persist in the belief that Diabetes is an incurable disease. Our teacher, Mr. Thompson, says it is curable, for Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after two good physicians had treated him for two years without success. A remedy that will cure Diabetes will surely cure any case of Kidney Trouble. Lord Thurlow's Position. A bishop once invited Lord Thurlow to hear him preach. "No," growled the savage old lord, who affected religion but little and bishops still loss. "I hear enough of your d" nonsense in the house of lords, where I can answer you, and it's not likely I am going to listen to it in church, where I can't."

Give coffee half a chance and with some people it sets its grip hard and fast. "Up to a couple of years ago" says a business man of Brooklyn, N. Y., "I was as constant a coffee drinker as it was possible to be, indeed, my craving for coffee was equal to that of a drunkard for his regular 'nip' and the effect of the coffee drug upon my system was indeed deplorable. "My skin lacked its natural color, my features were pinched and my nevers were shattered to such an extent as to render me very irritable. I also suffered from palpitation of the heart. "It was while in this condition I read an article about Postum Food Coffee and concluded to try it. It was not long before Postum had entirely destroyed my raging passion for coffee and in a short time I had entirely given up coffee for delicious Postum. "The change that followed was so extraordinary I am unable to describe it. Suffice it to say, however, that all my troubles have disappeared. I am my original happy self again and on the whole the soothing and pleasant effects produced by my cut of Postum make me feel as though I have been landed at another station." "Not long ago I converted one of my friends to Postum and he is now as loud in its praise as I am." Name furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Just now tie desperate fight whieh Mayor Reed, of Kansas City, is mak- ing for the Democratic nomination tor overnor, seconded by the stragetic cunning of Harry Hawes, police eom- missioner of St. Louis, are the wo thing KIvINg prominence to the fact (hci & superhuman effort is being made to distract public attention from the odium which boodling investiga- tion and grand jury indictments have thrown upon the dominant party in Missouri polities. It's a huge. effort to hide the shells after the robbery of the nest has been discovered, So it is urged that Misourl has climbed from twentieth place to fifth, It might al- so be properly urged In rebuttal that in spite of its Demoerstic handicap, Misouri has advanced to its present rank A party whose Yeaders in politics have reached the past mawter’s art in estorting the sheckels by devising, in- venting and introducing bills and laws hostile to corporations, by birtaing Imacinary health socteties, end forming Ieginlative combines, should not be al- lowed by the public to escape convic- tion by emphasizing the fact that a few Republicans have been fonnd in the same eetegory. It is just that very thing that the Democratic ma- chine is trying to do. Hoth Reed and Hawes are essenti- ally macaine candidates, and are put forward on the Dasie principle that either way the machine wins. ‘Their labors are thus divided, ‘The spell-binding mayor Insists that hoodling is not an issue, that the rreat stote is slandered, that all Dem- oerats are honest, and only the Re- publican minority are thieves. ‘Then Hawes jumps into print and insists that the republicans are at the bottom of all this muss, stirring up strife and fomenting discord, He further in sists that the minor party is trying to foree upon the Democracy an undesir= wehle candidate for governor, All of which is being done for the two-fold Purpose, first, that the machine may organize the party so as to prevent the nomination of the St. Louis etr- cenit attorney, J. W, Folk, and second, to lull the people Into peaceful for- getfulness of the rottenness and cor- ruptableness with which the state has wen governed, Now, the Kansas City mayor ts, strange to say, an Iowa carpet-bagger, thongh he affects the swagger of @ Missourian, While the St. Louls. po- lice commissioner is a rank youngster, still showing the freshness of the but- ter brand, and the only conceivable reason for allowing elther of them even a shadowy pretense for the ar- dent ambition thus displayed Hes in the circumstance that the “push” 18 ‘Dard pressed and its affairs bordering ‘on a crisis, Judge Gantt, of the supreme court, an ex-confederate soldier and @ South- erner to the manor born, a thorough gentiewman who is in every Way amply qualitied to exercise the high Luncuon of chief executive, is in all probwull- ity to them doubtful quantity. For, though conservative, it is extremely doubtful whether he would stan by the “Indians” and countenance the bold thievery, rascality and crooked- ness as the present incumbent Aas done, As for Folk, the very mention of the St. Louis attorney's name {s suffi- cient to throw cold chills over the boluest, from Ed.

Heretofore a sec- tion was set svide for negroes where they were all bunched together, but now they are Invited to the gallery, where the toughest characters are wont to sit. ‘The negroes of this city should force an intelligent resent- ment of this treatment by remaining away from the theatres for a season or so and use the money thus eaved for some good purpose.

There seems ta be a prevailing dis- position on the part of the business interests regardiess of polities to think that placing bonds in the hands of the present Democratic City Administra: tion Would be much the same as pour: ing water into the proverbial rat hole. It will be interesting to knpw just What argument our colored brethren who have heretofore supported the Democratle party In general and May. or Reed in particular will use to show why the latter should be elected gov- ernor. If a corresponding «mount of money, science and careful attention were given to the development of the human race as has been devoted to the de- velopment of the fast horse, evidently there would be a proportionate in- cvease of two-minute men and women.

Miss Mollie Reynolds was married to Mr. Russell Smith at the residence of 403 Locust street, Tuesday night, October 27. by Rev. J. S. Addison.

The ladies of St. Pancreas Guild are giving every Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m. at 615 East Sixth street. These lessons in needle work are given at a very small price. Dr. Theodore Smith is a hustler. Less than two years ago he began business with a stock of goods valued at less than $500; to-day his stock will invoice more than $3,000. The Doctor's store is being patronized by some of the best negroes in Kansas City. His business is flourishing and continues to increase. This goes to prove that the article which came out in the "Star" a few months ago stating that negroes would not patronize one another in business is absolutely false. I most emphatically object to my name being used either privately or publicly in any matter whatever, without my consent. Dr. J. N. BIRCH.

Copyrighted, 1908, by The Authors Publishing Company Charleston, South Carolina, "the City by the Sea," on the morning of February 14, 1777, was unusually cold and dreary. Sleet and snow whirled hither and thither, and a biting northeast wind made it advisable for all not obliged to face the storm to remain within. Jane Elliott was seated near a window, mechanically passing her needle through a dainty piece of embroidery. She felt a chill at her heart; the premonition of parting from a much-loved parent, now dangerously ill. An elderly woman entered the room. "Mr. Elliott is awake," she said, "and wishes to see you." Rising quickly, the girl went to her father's bedside. "Ginnie," he murmured, using his favorite name for her, as with trembling touch he smoothed her hair, "do, not weep because I am soon to leave you. For long years I have missed your dear mother's sweet smile. I shall be glad to go in search of her. You have the same smile, the same laughing blue eyes and tender mouth. As women of your type love only too well, it behooves you to be exceedingly careful in your choice of male companions. Most women's lives are made beautiful or utterly ruined by the love they accept. You must not stay here. This land of rebels is not fit for my sweet flower. Promise that, when left alone, you will return at once to England." A deep pallor in the girl's face replaced the flush of a few minutes before. "It is time for the doctor," she exclaimed, rising. "I think he is coming." "Ginnle," said her father, "you have not answered——" Without apparently hearing him she left the room. Outside the door she paused. "I could not promise and I could not answer," she murmured, "for, heaven help me, I love a rebel who glories in his defiance of England's king." By evening the storm passed away. The stars shone brightly; the moonlight glorified all surrounding objects. Again Jane Elliott stood near a window, at the back of the house. She saw a familiar form enter the gate. She opened the door. A moment later Capt. William Washington stood before her. "Why have you come here?" she asked. "I thought you were miles away with the rebels." "You must know," he replied, "I returned to see your sweet face once more. To carry in my heart, amid the tumult and strife of battle, a picture of azure eyes, and sun-kissed hair; of Hend. "Ginnie," said her father, "you have not answered——" dimpled chin and laughing mouth. These shall nerve me to stand firm for the cause of liberty and right, until I return to claim them for my own." "Nay, how can that be?" she asked. "My father to-day has commanded me to return to England as soon as——" Her lip quivered. She could not complete the sentence. "And you will obey him?" he questioned. "Nay," she faltered, "I cannot let you go. I shall not return to England. When in battle your flag floats above you, remember I honor it for your sake." "I have no flag to carry with me," he repiled, "and there is no time to get one. I leave to-night for the camp." "I will make you one," said Jane. Cutting a large square from the heavy silk curtain and binding it with gold braid taken from the girdle which had encircled her waist, she handed it to him. "Take it," she murmured, "and keep it unsullied for the sake of your country and Jane Elliott. Both shall be proud of their hero, whether he returns bearing it triumphantly aloft, or folded above his breast." M. M. "Jane, have you no word of welcome for me?" "Jane, have you no word of welcome for me?" A bell rang. It was the signal that visitors, perhaps the soldiers of the king, were approaching. "God bless you, dearest," said Washington, taking the flag and kissing the hand that held it. "May He keep you safe until we meet again." Then he passed out of one door as the guests entered the other. Mr. Elliott sank into a semi-conscious condition that night and became gradually weaker, until, a week later, as in a dream, he entered into that great unknown. Jane did not return to England. Months and years passed. She received tender letters from Capt. Washington, full of devotion to her, to his country, and telling of his promotion to the rank of colonel. In the spring of 1781 Jane sat near an open window, inhaling the fragrance of tea and cloth-of-gold roses, and watching the many-hued humming birds, as they flitted about, slipping sweet refreshment allike from the poisonous trumpet flower and the coral honeysuckle. The deep blue of the sky, the bright sunshine and a gentle breeze made a perfect day. Yet Jane was sad. She had not recently heard either from or of her lover. She was startled by the opening of the gate, and looking up, recognized Col. Tarleton, a British officer, though he wore the garb of a civilian. "Miss Elliott" he said, standing near the window, "you do not know how delighted I am to see you." "Are you just returned from the seat of war?" she asked. "If so, can you tell me anything about Col. Washington?" "Are you in earnest? What can a rebel of the worst type be to you? Besides, I hear he is so illiterate he cannot write his own name." "You have been misinformed," said Jane coldly. "At any rate," glancing at his hands, "he can make his mark." Col. Tarleton frowned. So she knew that Washington had, by a stroke of his saber, cut off two of his (Tarleton's) fingers, while catching his horse's bridle in an attempt to make him a prisoner. "One truth I did hear, however," he remarked. "Just after the battle of Cowpans, as he was riding through the woods, he met Miss Evelyn Morris, carrying her sick brother in her arm. She had fled when the fighting began in search of a place of safety. He conducted her to a friend's house. Admiring her bravery and courage in risking her own life to save the boy's, he fell desperately in love with her. The feeling proved mutual and they are to be married in a short time. He wins hearts so easily I wish I had seen him during the campaign." "To me your memory seems poor," said Jane, "but had you looked behind you at the battle of the Cowpens, you would certainly have had that pleasure." Col. Tarleton made no reply, but, bowing low, departed. She had scorned him, but he had left an arrow to rankle in her heart. Jane left the window, passed into the garden, and seated herself on a vine-encircled bench. So this was the reason for his not writing. She was forgotten, or worse, discarded for a new love. It seemed impossible to believe it. He was too noble and honorable to be untrue to the woman he had taught to love him. Tears filled her eyes. Her head drooped. Why had he not written? She did not wish to believe it, and yet—! Suddenly the sound of martial music recalled her wandering thoughts. The victorious troops were passing through the city. Her lover should be in command. Why was he not with her? Alas! Must she believe Tarleton's cruel tale? The music died away. She bowed her head on her clasped hand and became oblivious to all, save her own sad misgivings. She did not hear the gate open behind her nor see the advancing form, nor note the eager gaze of the eyes that rested lovingly upon her. "Jane," said a familiar voice, "have you no word of welcome for me?" "Why have you not written recently?" she asked, coldly, not raising her eyes. "Look up and see," he replied. "Forgive me," she said, seeing that his right hand was in a sling. "I was wounded," he said, "but I have brought you back, unsullied, the flag you gave me. It is covered with glory. Long years hence, still known as the Eutaw flag, it will be cherished and honored by all Americans, but especially by the sons of Charleston. Will you not give me yourself in exchange for it?" Jane trembled with joy. Tarleton had told a falsehood. "I have no choice." she replied. "Who could resist the hero of Eutaw and the Cowens." *Author's Note*--The above named flag really exists; came into existence as stated in the story; is in the possession of the washington Light Infantry, of Charles Todd, one of the four Revolutionary flags still is use. It is known as the Eutau flag. LIFE THAT IS UNCONSIDERED. Billions of Living Things That Swarm on the Globe. Few persons ever consider the enormous amount of life other than human which exists the world over. In populous London, for instance, there are three times as many rats as people, and three times as many sparrows as rats. Cultivated country districts in England are said to contain from 700 to 1,000 birds to the square mile. As for the insect population, that is quite beyond any statistician to figure out; but the fact that each bird certainly consumes on an average fifty insects a day may give the person who tries to imagine it some faint idea of the terrible figures needed to express it. The insect population of a single cherry tree infested with aphides was calculated by an authority at 12,000,000. M. Yung, a French entomologist, has killed the ants in five hills by means of a poisonous gas, and undertaken the prodigious labor of counting the dead. The results, beginning from the smallest hill, were, respectively, as follows: Seventeen thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight, 19,333, 53,018, 64,470 and 93,964. The real figures probably averaged 5,000 higher in each case, as no allowance was made by M. Yung for absent and escaped ants. WHY SHE WANTED TO KNOW. Ambitious Woman Would Get Even for Snubbings of Society. A woman who lives on the fringe of fashionable society in this city and is consumed with an ambition to break into the innermost circle, recently went to a psychic and had him read her character. The psychic happened to be a man of unusual honesty and candor, and the social climber was impressed with the truth of the things he told her about herself. "Do you know," she said to him, "I could make your everlasting fortune for you by recommending you to my acquaintances? I have enough social influence to have you taken up." "But you would expect some return," suggested the psychic. "Yes, I would," acknowledged the woman, "and I'll tell you just what I want you to do. I want you to read the characters of certain women and tell me all the mean things you find out about them." "Why?" "Well, I feel there is no use of my trying to deceive you. Those women have snubbed me cruelly, and I want to be able to say things about them that will sting."—New York Press. She turned and spoke in tones that matched Him. Her tear-clouded eyes of blue I gave her bread because her voice Reminded me of you. "I think I am entitled to a medal," he said. "For what?"

KEEP THE BOWELS REGULAR The cause of two-thirds of the serious ills of life and one-half of all who die prematurely can be traced to persistent constipation. The bowels are one of the great outlets of the body and should perform their functions with the utmost regularity—not by physic requiring large and frequent doses to whip them into action and eventually depriving them of natural strength—but by made from the whole grain of the wheat, which, if eaten once a day, will keep the bowels regular. A food—not a medicine. Served hot or cold. ORTHY of a higher recommendation than I can find words to express." This is what Mr. J. H. Plangman (of Sherman, Tex.) says of Doan's Kidney Pills. He tells his experience in the following words: He says, "Sometimes in September I was taken with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, directly over the kidneys. I paid small attention to this at first, thinking it would pass off. But instead of getting better it became worse and in a short time the pain centered through my left hip and The small of the back The small of the back This is precisely what kidney trouble will do with the body. It does not always show itself at first, but appears just in this way, when some unusual movement or action brings sharp pains and exhaustive aches, telling of sick kidneys. So Mr. Plangman's experience bore this out. Continuing, he says: "I did not know the cause of the trouble, but I am led to believe now that it was first brought about by jumping in and out of the wagon and in some way I may have strained my back. "I was constantly growing worse," he continues, "and I became very much alarmed about my condition. I knew that something had to be done or serious results were sure to follow. I went to a specialist here in Sherman, and underwent a rigid examination." Then he relates how the doctor told him that it was a serious case, but that he could cure him for fifty dollars.

Naturally, he thought that he would soon be rid of the trouble, but in spite of the doctoring he goes on to add, "I was in such misery that it was almost impossible for me to do my work." "It was at this juncture that Doan's Kidney Pills came to my notice and I procured some from the drug store of C. E. Cravercroft. I used these pills according to directions and to my surprise I was considerably relieved on the second day and in a short time completely cured."
