Webb of Sedgwick County has made a vigorous campaign for the Republican nomination for State Treasurer, and it looks as though the voters who do not believe in the 3rd term idea for a purely administrative state office, will vote for him at the primary next Tuesday. He is opposed to the "Official trusts" as well as all other trusts, is the only farmer running for a state office, has proven his ability in the management of treasurer's office of Sedgwick county—handling $4,000,000 in four years safely—and shoul be nominated. His competitors are a banker, a doctor, a regent of the state normal school, and a third termer. Every Republican in Kansas should vote for him. Swat the third term "microbe." He is endorsed by the Rev. N. E. Harmon, Rev. J. W. Anderson, the Hon. T. C. Wilson, Judge of the 18th Judicial District; board of County Commissioners of Sedgwick County; Wichita city officials; every Commercial bank in Wichita and practically by every voter in Sedgwick county. VOTE FOR E. WEBB FOR STATE TREASURER. [Name] From all indications at hand at this time it seems that Judge Jesse D. Wall will be the successful candidate for the Republica annomination for the office of Probate Judge of this county on Aug. 2. Since entering this race Judge Wall has brought about him a circle of friends and loyal supporters who are invincible and now, even the strongest of his opponents are almost willing to concede the nomination to Judge Wall. That class of men who are wise in wishing to be with the winner are fast coming over and camping in the line of Judge Wall. And there is a reason for it. Every one who is acquainted with Judge Wall admits that he has all the qualifications necessary to make an ideal Probate Judge and that he would make for this county one of the best, if not the best, Probate Judges that the county has ever had. His friends are loud in saying that he will win and among his friends are some of the most prominent men in this county. If you want to vote for a man who will carry with him into the Probate Judge's office all the necessary requisites, you will then vote for Judge Jesse D. Wall for that office. Hutchinson Meeting Was Splendid Session The Session of District Grand Lodge No. 17 and Cistrict House hold Ruth No. 612 G. U. O. O. F held in Hutchinson of last week was the best session ever held by the Odd Fellows in Kansas. In point of attendance, in finances and in numerical increase the Hutchinson Session beats all of others. The addresses of welcome the responses and the fraternal greetings which marked the opening hours were one long to be remembered by delegates visitors and friends as it brought to each a friendly remembrance which only such occasion can bring. Among the features of the Session was the fifth annual report of Grand Master Thomas Glover of Wichita which was filled with wholesome words of encouragement to the whole jurisdiction. His report brought to light the fact that the officers and members of the Kansas Jurisdiction of the Grand Unired Order of Odd Fellows had not been asleep during the past year, but that all had been at their post of duty like men. It was a source of comfort with which the Grand lodge heard from the Grand Master's report the splendid success with which the Grand Master recommendation of four years ago in establishing a Secretary and a Treasurer of the Endowment had met. To Grand Master Thomas Glover belongs the credit of those offices which has done more than their share in bringing about the success of the Order during the past five years. The report of P. W. Washam Grand Secretary, W. W. Shobe, Grand Treasurer, Dr, S M. Bank Grand Secretary of the Endowment and Dennis D. Hope, Grand Treasurer of the Endowment were all splendid reports and demonstrated that these officers had faithfully and honestly performed their several duties. Many important measure were considered among the more important was to send delegates to the meeting of the B. M. C, which convenes in Baltimore Md. in Sept. The Grand Lodge select ed the following delegates. Thos Glover, W. W. Shobe. These delegates were instructea to work in harmony with the delegates from other Western States and use all honorable of means to secure the next meeting of the B. M. C. for Kansas City Mo. It is the opinion of all Odd Fellows that a meeting of the B. M. C. in Kansas City, would do wonders in working up additional in the West. The delegates to meet the B. M. C. in Baltimore are: Thos. Clover, Wichita, chun, Dr. S. N. Banks, Kans, City, Kans, and H. M. Jackson, Topeka. The Board will meet Sept. 15-16-1910. The next place of meeting will be Lawrence, Kansas, 1911. VICTOR MURDOCK THE EIGHTH DISTRICT'S UNOPPOSED STATESMAN JUDGE JESSE D. WALL For Probate Judge. BRIDGMAN'S CANDIDACY FOR SHERIFF. At the closing hours of this campaign for the primary nomination, which will come off Tuesday, August 2nd, S. N. Bridgman would urge his friends to be loyal and remember him at the polls. For a number of years Mr. Bridgman his been a staunch Republican and has always taken an interesting part in the party councils, and worked for the best interest of the people of this county in general. As a candidate for the high honor of sheriff of this county he pledges his honor as a man and as a citizen that if nominated and elected he will give to the people of this county a thorough business administration in the office of sheriff. He will do his whole duty, regardless of race, color or condition. He will protect the life and property of the citizens of this county at all hazards and at all times. He earnestly asks you for your vote at the primary on next Tuesday, Aug ust 2, 1910. FAZEL FOR DISTRICT CLERK. In the case of Prof. C. D. Fazel, candidate for the Reupublican nomina- tion for the office of Clerk of the District court, we feel that there need now be but little said. No man who will go to the polls on next Tuesday and vote for Prof. Fazel for this office will ever have any reason to regret it. He has all the qualifica- tions necessary to fill that office and with im in the clerk's office every citizen can rest assured that the bus- ness of the county in that office will receive the proper attention. Vote for Prof. Fazel at the primary Aug. 2. FITZPATRICK'S MANLY STAND. E. E. Fitzpatrick, leading Republican candidate for sheriff of Sedgick county at the primary next Tuesday, August 2, made a rousing speech at the Tabernacle Baptist church on Thursday night, July 28th before a crowded house of colored and white people. Mr. Fitzpatrick was present by special invitation of the people of that church who are among his most staunch and steadfast friends. He made a short, but pointed address, and among other things he said: Ladies and Gentlemen:— The question I am asked to speak on is one of great importance. An officer's duty is to the preservation of life and property. The mots of this audience know me and know my views on the question, but I see a good many strangers here who do not know me, so I will explain myself in my plain way, as I am not a speech maker, and I understand it is not necessary for me to be one in order to make an efficient sheriff. I have lived in Wichita and the State of Kansas for the past 26 years. I have always treated the colored people with due consideration and respect. All you have to do to find out my past record for some twenty years ago, when I was not a candidate for any position, is to ask Mr. Ike Patton. Mr. Isler, Mr. Johnson or Mr. Robinson. They know me and some of them have worked for me, Ask them, if I did not treat them respectfully. And I will say that I was always respected by them. If I a melected sheriff, and I will be, I shall protect the life and property of eevry citizen, black or white. Any man who is in my custody will be protected regardless of the dangers in which I may be put. oSme o fmy opponents say that I have no use for the colore dman. This is a falsehood. They say I am an Irishman, and therefore don't like the negro. Now, when I heard this a efw days ago, I looked up some history, to see if there ever was an Irishman that did anything for the colored race, and I found the following: In 1846 Daniel O'Connell came with one Irish member to the house of Commons. Twenty-seven members of what was caled the West India Slave party, came to O'Connell and said, "If you will never go down to the Free Mason's hall with Buxton and Broughan again, here are twenty-seven votes that will vote with you on every Irish question, but if you work with the abolitionists, count us against you." It was a terrible temptation. Many a so-called statesman would have yielded. O'Connell said, "God knows, I speak for the saddest people the sun shows on, but may my right arm lose its cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if to help Ireland, I would forget the negro ror one single moment." The national conference of colored newspaper men sent the following resolution to Wendell Philips: "Resolved that it is benefitting the convention of colored men assembled on the centennial anniversary of the birth o f the librator of Ireland and friend to humanity, Daniel O'Conner, to recall with gratitude his eloquence, effort, and pleas for the freedom of our race, an dwe earnestly commend his example to our countrymen. (Signed). J. C. JACKSON, Sec. PETER H. CLARK, Pres. GEO. L. RUBY. LEWIS D. EASTON. O'Connell was the greatest Irishman the world ever produced, and you see by the above resolution what four of your own countrymen said of him in the year 1875, and those are my sentiments today. Vote for Geo. H. Bradford for representative from the 67th district. Vote for A. J. Adams for county attorney. Cattle Raising in the Americas HEN the United States ceases to be an exporter of beef and pork from whence will Europe get its meat? Will the United States, with its large ratio of increase in population, with which the meat production by no means keeps pace, be able in the future to feed itself? Must Europe and the United States curtail their meat consumption? There is no need to take a pessimist's view in answering any of these questions. The meat proposition swering any of these questions. The meat proposition is already serious, it is true; but this is because we are at the turning of the ways and not because the immediate future, or even the future for some hundreds of years at least, presents any real difficulty to the solution of this proposition. is already serious, it is true; but this is because we are of the ways and not because the immediate future, or for some hundreds of years at least, presents any real solution of this proposition.

A number of factors enter into the world's present one of the most important of which is the change in c which meat has been produced in the United States.

A number of factors enter into the world's present meat problem, one of the most important of which is the change in conditions under which meat has been produced in the United States. The change from range to farm production of beef cattle and the improved shipping facilities for corn, which latter has revolutionized the hog industry, have together upset the balance in the meat market. Unlimited free range on government lands made cheap meat, but the taking up of these lands by settlers, and particularly the taking up of land around water sites has changed the whole situation. The extension of railways and an improved service has given the western farmer a choice, either to sell his corn or to feed for meat, where formerly he had no choice; it was either hogs or cease raising corn. He raised hogs because he was forced to it, and he bought range beef cattle to put them in condition for the market by feeding for a few months with a part of his surplus grain. The raising of cattle on the free ranges of the west was the cheapest method of meat production at the time practised in the United States, but it is a question whether beef may not now be produced, and is not now produced by a few farmers, even cheaper than on the western ranges in the past. The poor quality of range meat, which necessitated several months of farm feeding and care in order to be gotten in condition for the market, the great losses in the herds due to insufficient food and water, and the lack of winter shelter made the business of cattle raising on the western plains a more or less uncertain and precarious industry. It was an exotic, and as such it will die with changing conditions. The future of meat production in the United States is a farming proposition, and like all other questions connected with the national agriculture depends for its satisfactory solution upon the improvement of farm methods. To remain a meat-exporting country, lands must be brought up to the European standard of production. At that standard, or even considerably below, farming in the United States pays, and pays well, and in no way better than by turning grass and grain into meat. But until the United States adjusts itself to the changed conditions and can again enter the European market as a competitor with Argentina, Uruguay and Australia for the meat trade, where will Europe, and even the United States, should it have a temporary need for meat, secure their supplies? pends for its satisfactory solution upon the improvement ods.

The answer to this question is not difficult. It is that it has not been more fully recognized. The answer to this question is not difficult, that it has not been more fully recognized. The broad plains of Mexico and Central America, of Venezuela and Colombia, the Amazon region of Brazil, Bollivia, Peru and Ecuador rival, if they do not excel the famed pampas of Argentine and Uruguay as cheap meat-producing districts. In the country of the Oronoco alone, Venezuela and eastern Colombia, there is an area of territory more than equal to France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark, or ten times the size of the state of New York, which has its superior as a cattle country in no part of the world, if indeed it has anywhere its equal. It is only surprising and consequently the cattle. The country for dairy stock and along this line. In Atlantic slope there open country in Gu ragua and Costa Ria produced as cheap world. It is a know and Honduras foury-duced on the range head. The native st Mexico offers many advantages to the stock raiser. The conditions there are those with which stockmen from the United States are more or less familiar, which last fact, in part, accounts for the large investments of American capital made in this industry within the last few years in Mexico. Cattlemen own the land in large tracts of from 100,000 to 1,000,000 acres, acquired from the government by grant and at a very low figure. This prevents the shutting off from water, which has done so much to destroy the range industry in the United States. The winters are mild and there is no danger of loss from blizzards—in fact, the grazing is good all the year round. The character of the ranges on the Pacific coast side in Jalisco, Michoacan, Guerrero, southern Oaxaca and Tepic are similar in character to the northern ranges but not so well watered, and the grass is scantier. On the gulf side there are entirely different conditions. On the slope of the eastern Cordilleras in the states of San Luis Potosi, Tamaulipas and northern Vera Cruz is the region known to the Huasteca Potosina, the country of the Tamesi, Panuco, Temporal and Tamasunchale rivers. This is an almost ideal grass country. It is a succession of valleys separated by grass-covered terraces or hills increasing in height from the low plains near the coast to the borders of the central plateau 6,000 feet. This slope receives the moist breezes from the Gulf of Mexico in the form of rain during the summer months and dew in winter, and is always free from frost, drought and excessive heat. The natural pasture of this country is as fine as any in the world, except on the Oronoco and in the upper Amazon country. Cattle in good condition can be sent to market at a cost of less than $10 gold a head. On the northern and western ranges lean cattle cost to produce from $2 to $5 a head and can be fattened for market to cost in all about $10 a head. The latest Mexican statistics show about 5,250,000 beef cattle in the whole country, of an estimated value of about $8 gold per head. Chihuahua and Vera Cruz lead with about 400,000 head for each state. As compared with Argentina with its 30,000,000 beef cattle it can be seen that Mexico is but at the beginning of the industry; in fact, as present the country produces but little meat above its own needs, yet it could, on natural pasture alone, carry twice the number of cattle now grazing in Argentina, and could easily supply to the European markets from its surplus an amount of meat twice what the United States has even been able to supply from its surplus. South of Mexico in Central America and in parts of Mexico not above mentioned there is yet another cattle country, where the climate is more tropical. On the Pacific side the area suitable for cattle is limited. It is similar to the Pacific slope of Mexico, but the country is more thickly settled, a larger proportion of the land is devoted to agriculture, --- W we are at the turning e, or even the future real difficulty to the involving the so-called matter simply as a is no need to fear a services to limit the con- present meat problem, are in conditions under times.

But need conditions and can with Argentina, Uru- will Europe, and even need for meat, secure It is only surprising and consequently there is less room for beef cattle. The country offers fine opportunities for dairy stock and will undoubtedly develop along this line. In the uplands and on the Atlantic slope there are large areas of fine open country in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, where cattle can be produced as cheaply as anywhere in the world. It is a known fact that in Guatemala and Honduras four-year-old stock can be produced on the ranges to cost less than $2 a head. The native stock needs improving. It is the same which was formerly known in the United States as the Texas long horn. When crossed by Shorthorn bulls the resulting progeny is a first-class beef animal. Hereford, Galloway and Aberdeen-Angus crosses also produce good results. At present the industry is almost entirely local. Millions of acres of the finest pasturage in the world, where the native grasses stand from knee to shoulder high, are unutilized. A title of the capital and enterprise which have produced such large results in Argentina and Uruguay would make Central America, although limited in area, an important factor in the world's meat market and would pay to the investors a handsome return on their investment. In South America there are three great natural cattle regions which in area and adaptability for cattle production are unequaled in any other part of the world. The plains of the Oronoco, of the Amazon and of the Plata rivers are without doubt the best adapted for producing beef cattle cheaply and on a large scale of any other sections of either the old or the new world. Behind the Venezuelan coast range of mountains lies the basin of the Oronoco. This river has nearly 500 tributaries and at its greatest length is 1,500 miles long and is navigable from the ocean for about 1,200 miles. For about half its length it flows north and then turns almost directly east and continues in this line to the Atlantic. Near the bend of the Oronoco it is joined by the Apure, one of its chief tributaries, which has come down from the eastern Cordilleras of Colombia through the heart of the region of the llanos or prairie lands. These lands continue on to the east to the vertex of the delta of the Oronoca. They comprise about 150,000 square miles in Venezuela and about 120,000 square miles in Colombia. It is the largest single compact area of high-class natural pasture in the world. In the luxuriance of its grasses it is as far ahead of the pampas lands of Argentina as are these ahead of the short-grass lands of Kansas or Nebraska. It is one immense level prairie, thickly carpeted with para and guineo grass, growing twice as high as broom sedge on a neglected Virginia farm. It is crossed and interlaced by hundreds of rivers flowing into the Oronoco or into its larger tributaries, the Apure, the Arauca, the Meta, the Vichada and the Guaviare. From these rivers spread out smaller rivers, creeks and guts johning one river to another so that the whole is one great water mesh. In some places for a hundred miles one must cross water every half mile or less. The creeks and guts, when wide enough are navigable for launches and flatboats and offer the best and cheapest possible system of highways leading directly down to the Oronoco and the sea. From the earliest days of the Spanish conquest this country has been famed as a cattle land. At the time of the war of independence, in 1812, it was estimated that there were Agricultural Field with Tillage Machines and Workers. DAYING HIDES IN ARGENTINA beef 3,000,000 head of cattle in the country. The ties industry has never since been so flourishing. elope These natural cattle lands comprise about the 170,000,000 acres and could easily carry 180, fine 000,000 beef cattle and not be overstocked. In the past the industry has been much hampered in both Columbia and Venezuela by government restrictions, monopolies and taxa- tion, and the estimates as to the cost of cattle production in consequence vary much. Under the same favorable conditions as exist in Mexi- co, Argentina and Uruguay the llamos of Colombia and Venezuela can produce cattle ready for slaughter at a cost which ought not to exceed $2 gold per head. In the valley of the Amazon there are no such great prairie lands as exist on the Oro- noco, yet on the whole there is as much or even more first-class cattle country, a consid- erable part of which is in easy deep-water connection with the world's markets. The Amazon basin comprises one-eighth of the habitable earth and one-half of the most fertile portion thereof. In a territory so large as this it would be unreasonable not to expect to find many varieties of soil and soil cover, and such is the fact. Between the rivers tributary to the great river and back from the bottoms are here and there large tracts of open land similar to that found on the Gulf coast of Mexico, in the prairie lands of Louisiana and in Honduras and in Guatemala. This is all fine cattle country; there could be no better. Near the headwaters of the great rivers that flow down to make the mighty Amazon, on the eastern slope of the Andes, are millions of acres of fine grass lands in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, as well as in Brazil, that are more immediately available for cattle raising than are the lands farther east in the great basin. The third great river basin of South America is that of the Plate river, with which must be included the southern half of Argentina, whose rivers drain directly into the Atlantic. Any account of the cattle industry of Argentina must of necessity be less a story of what can be done than of what has been done. Included in the Plate basin in addition to Argentina are Uruguay, Paraguay and southern Brazil. The cattle conditions are similar over all this area. Argentina ranks third in the world as a cattle-producing country. Russia and the United States alone lead it; but Argentina has only about 6,000,000 inhabitants to feed, which accounts for the fact that it is the leading country in beef exports. Russia and the United States must consume most of what they raise; Argentina ships the greater proportion of what it raises, not only beef cattle, but horses, sheep, wool, corn, wheat and flaxseed. At the last census, taken about two years ago, there were 29,116,620 cattle in Argentina and about 6,000,000 in Uruguay. This is nearly all grade stock of the best English blood—Shorthorn, Hereford and Aberdeen-Angus. Argentina and Uruguay cattle are reared under conditions somewhat peculiar to the locality. They are not range cattle nor yet exactly farm cattle, and but little or no grain is fed, yet the export steers of Buenos Aires or Montevideo are fully equal in size and will cut as much prime beef and as little waste as the best steers of Kansas, Pennsylvania or southwest Virginia. In the central provinces of Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Santa Fe, Entre Rios and Corrientes the native grasses are better and more alfalfa is grown. These five are the principal cattle producing provinces, as they are also the principal grain producers. Next to those come La Pampa, Santiago and Salta, each of which provinces carries from about 700,000 to 1,000,000 cattle. Then come San Luis, Mendoza, La Rioja and Catamarca, averaging about half of these numbers. In the north, Misiones, Formosa and El Chaco, and in the south Rio Negro and Chubut are rapidly becoming important cattle districts. Even San Juan and Nequen, on the Andean slope, and Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego, in the extreme south, are finding that cattle as well as sheep can be raised with profit. In fact, there is but little territory in the Argentine Republic which is not suitable for either cattle or sheep. Beef is exported from the La Plata region on the hoof, as salted or as meat extracts, and frozen in quarters. England is the principal market for South American beef. The frozen-meat industry in the Argentine Republic has grown up since the closing of the English market to live cattle. In the year 1908 the Argentine Republic exported 60,916 head of live beef cattle, three-fourths of which went to Chile. It exported 2,295,784 quarters (573,946 whole beeves) of frozen beef, and from the salting works 155,400 beeves as salt beef, meat extract or jerked beef. In this latter industry Uruguay in addition exported 754,300 and southern Brazil 425,000 head, respectively. As a field for investment in the cattle industry the La Plata region offers the very best of chances. In fact, it is without a rival, and will remain such until a like enterprise and capital which has there produced such marvelous results shall seek a new opportunity on the Oronoco and in the upper Amazon country. The field for cattle growing is large; there need be no scarcity though the United States should cease to export and become an importer of meat. No Corsets at West Point Col. K. B. Collins, a retired army officer who was seen at the Raleigh, in discussing West Pointers said to a reporter of the Washington Herald: "I have often heard a question as to whether West Pointers wore corsets. It is absurd, in a way, because should any eminate youngster resort to such a thing it would be an impossibility to keep the affair a secret, and, once known, his school life would become a burden to him on account of the endless amount of criticism he would receive from his fellows. He would be made the laughing stock of the school and would soon find himself the possessor of any number of eminate nicknames that would grate upon his ears in any but a pleasant manner. "It is true," continued the old soldier, "that many West Pointers acquire a figure the perfection of symmetry and a carriage the acme of manly grace, but these are due not to any ingenious appliance, but to the systematic drills and exercises that make every cadet, to a certain extent, an athlete. At the outset these young fellows are put through what are called the 'setting up' exercises, their object being to straighten the body and develop the chest. One might suppose that it would require a great amount of such exercise to make any marked showing, but three long hours of such exercise daily will soon produce beneficial results in the most stooped forms. The cadet uniform is also a great help in this direction. The dress coat is tight, very tight. The shoulders are heavily padded in order to give them a square effect. The chest is made thick, so that there will be no danger of wrinkling. And in size, a new dress coat seems always to be designed for a noy several sizes smaller than the one who is to wear it. A new dress coat, in fact, is always a source of suffering to its owner. When he first puts it on, it buttons readily about the neck, but seems to lack about six inches at the waist. The owner may squirm and wriggle and attempt to reduce his waist to a minimum circumference, but his maiden efforts are never sufficient to button the new dress coat. Experience is a great teacher, though, and the young fellow laughingly requests cue or two friends to lend their assistance, and with their combined tugging and squeezing he finally succeeds in buttoning the coat. All this for the sake of looks; comfort has no place in the makeup of a West Pointer; it is discipline and looks."

Some of us may be glad to be told that there are only ten life mistakes, for there seem to be so many more, but a recent writer has catalogued them. Perhaps these are only the ten leading ones from which the smaller errors arise. Let's look over the list and see how many of them are ours: First, to set up our own standard of right and wrong and judge people accordingly; second, to measure the enjoyment of others by our own; third, to expect uniformity of opinion in this world; fourth, to look for judgment and experience in youth; fifth, to endeavor to mold all dispositions alike; sixth, to look for perfection in our own actions; seventh, to worry our selves and others with what cannot be remedied; eighth, to refuse to yield in immaterial matters; ninth, to refuse to alleviate, so far as it lies in our power, all which needs alleviation; tenth, to refuse to make allowance for the infirmities of others. Immense Saving Possible In a preliminary bulletin on the cost of maintaining a tuberculosis sanatorium, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis announces that the average cost per patient per day in thirty semi-chariable sanatoria scattered in all parts of the United States is $1,669. These institutions represent an annual expenditure of over $1,200,000 and over $15,000 days of treatment given each year. The bulletin, which is part of an extensive study the National association is making for its bureau of information, points out that the country could save annually at least $150,000,000 if the indigent consumptives were properly segregated.

But no, he was quite serious.” Any man who ts quite serious deserves—anything! Is he worth ahile” Rose tilted her yellow head to catch the mirrored effect of a rose fn her hair. “If he’s—worth——” He's all that himself and his do- ting widowed mother think him! Of fine family, good looking, with brains and manners earefully cultivated here and abroad; and with money. But very—young. It seems that his moth- er intends to have him wed a Miss Minerva Farleigh of Boston, He is oiit here for a rest before beginning in the fall the practise his father left him. He—well—I must dress! Rose—don't be outrageous—but he does need a lesson!” Dinner went off conventionally nouigh, Rose tried the sweet, fem- flue, dependent role she usually played 11 she decided on what the game was to bet She drew Dr. Tran- som out about himself and he was, Q ly, deeply interested. Her question’ about his work and plans wore, in fact, so intelligent that the young man twisted hfs broad shoul- ders, and turned his fine brown eyes oa his neighbor im some surprise— she didn’t look ike much but a frail plaything—he especially disapproved of yellow curls, And in the cheek warest him he marked a deep and restless dimple. Her hands were lit- tle and delicate. She was very slen- der. He wondered if she knew how to take care of her health?—probably ot. He was sure of it when, in the drawing room after dinner, he noted the scandalous height of her small heels, He determined to advise her. Dr, Transom played the piano well. Induced by Jimmie, who knew all his friend's paces, he played some Reethoven, some Bache—then a lit- tle Chopin—the latter because he thought Miss Rose Thorne might care ‘or lighter music, She sat where he could see her by a side glance. She “as not amused, evidently. Finally she sauntered over to him and asked: “Can't you play something lvely— gypsy dance, or some ragtime?” Her eyes were innocent, and he Stared at her in dismay. But Jimmie Reverton grinned and pushed him from the stool, Til play," he laughed. “You're feo solemn. Pull up a rug or two there, Jimmie, Now, Rosle, give us & step or two.” ' the young doctor's scandalized foscination the girl rose, and to the Nid time of the host's gypsy music “ssn a whirling dance. He could tot take his eyes from the pretty ‘ich in her gauzy blue dress. At ‘est. half exhausted, she stopped sud- {ly and came panting to sit beside An He thought angrily that the Srelse was bad for her heart; that “nc one should look after the girl, and he would try to coax her to ‘ear common-sense shoes—he would fo that much good during his stay— {mi ste was little more than a child. Re vondered at Jimmie’s letting the Srl do so unfit a thing, On the “Jnsth of his concern for her un- Notccied situation he asked her to ere ith him next day. Th ‘tor had been coaxed to stay So he forgot his career, Miss Mi- nerva, Boston, his mother, and the universe, And, finally, he forgot himself. At least that was the opin- ion of his family—before they really knew Rose. One of the signs of the doctor's afl- ment was that he began to forget to write home, and had already’ lenthenéd his proposed stay to a Week past its supposed bounds. | Back in the east his mother went | to call on Minerva. No; Miss Far- eigh had not heard from him for some time. Minerva had long been tacitly considered a daughter in the family. Not that Everett had made love to her—he did not know, in fart, what love was, nor how to make it— not until he met Rose. And now that he had met her, he did not know that he was making love, nor was he aware that he had learned one of love's first lessons—blindness to the world and forgetfulness of self. Like the ostrich, hiding from his enemies by thrusting its head in the sand, he was hiding from his own heart. Mrs. Transom wrote her son a long letter. He replied, saying he was enjoying himself and really had decided to stay another week or two—in fact, he would not say just when he would re- turn, Then it was that his mother packed a trunk and decided that a Little trip would do her good. She determined to surprise her son and come home with him—it would be a natural and motherly thing for her to do—and she would see the girl who was keeping bim. The wisdom of her sex warned her that “girl,” though unmentioned in her son’s letters, lay beneath his strange and sudden wish to dawdle in a mid-western town at the home of a mere college friend. Meanwhile Everett Transom was becoming very gay and foolish, dis- covering that he had really never lived, that the breezy western air was the finest in the world, and that western girls had much more at- tractiveness than he would have thought possible. And Rose was growing quiet and serious—at little seasons, few and far between, be it admitted. Her interest was no longer feigned. She began to be a little afraid. This man with the resolute eyes and unsmiling mouth would not be flirted with and take dismissal easily. She knew she would be called to account, Things were at this pretty pass of loverlike doubt and fear, when one lovely morning Mrs. Transom, quite unannounced, got out at the little station, and finding a cab, came out to the Reverton place. It was a beautiful day, and seeing the big house standing out by itself, where she could not miss it, she asked the driver to let her down to walk a few blocks after her long jourhey—besides, on foot, she would be more of a surprise, As she entered the drive, she saw coming toward her a pretty dog cart. And in it, his hands holding loosely the reins which should have been guiding the peryerse spotted pony, sat her son—her cherished boy— laughing and turning his face ridicu- lously close to a very pretty, a most unnecessarily pretty, _yellow-haired girl who raised back at him in a man- ner, which was, to say the least, frank! Neither saw her. But the pony did, and not to run over her, shied. His senses returning, the young man looked up and saw his mother, Not believing his eyes, startled, full of what he had been saying to Rose— how he loved her—he jerked the reins the wrong way and the perverse pony. started sharply to one side, so sharp- ly that in a twinkling the cart upset and dumped lover and girl at the as- tounded and frightened old lady’s feet. Mrs. Transom tried to scream, but her voice refused to come. ‘Then Dr. Transom was on his feet, gathering Rose up out of the dust and into his arms, assuring himself she was not hurt, saying he knew not what until she declared she was not even scratched. Then he turned and dutifully kissed his mother. She looked sternly at Rose. “Your—new daughter, Rose,” he ex- plained swittly. Rose, very dutifully, received her future mother-in-law’s frigid kiss. Appropos of the extravagant use of cosmetics in New York, a witticism is credited to Reginald Vanderbilt. A lady said to Mr. Vanderbilt at one of the “comet suppers” at the Plaza: “There are the three Van Twiller girls.” “Are they all three still unmarried?” Mr. Vanderbilt asked. “Yes,” said the lady. “They're rich and pretty, too. It’s odd they don't go off.” “Isn't it?” said Mr. Vanderbilt. “They use enough powder.” To the Rescue. Inventor—I have a great idea here if I only had the wherewith to carry it out.

Vj 0 Wa Se he é KITCHEN Yes £3 ABINET Psy SMa se orate ea Grape fruit owing to its bitter prin- ciple was on {ts first introduction more of a curiosity than an epicurean delight. It is a fruit, however, that Brows upon one. It is now generally accepted as a wholesome fruit valu- able also for its medicinal virtues. Owing to the high price of grape fruit it 1s not as commonly used as the orange. The most universal man- ner of serving grape fruit is to cut in halves and eat with a spoon. Served after standing on ice with a little sugar added there 1s no more ap- petizing breakfast fruit to serve. Grape Frult Ice. Extract the julce from three or four grape fruit. Boll the rind in a quart of boiling water for 15 minutes. Make a syrup of two cupfuls of sugar and one of water and. the juice of one lemon, cook until thick, add the water that the peeling was cooked in to thé fruit Juice and freeze. Grape Fruit Sherbet. Extract the juice from the desired number of grape fruit and add about two-thirds of a cupful of sugar and one-third of a cup of water for each average sized fruit. Dissolve a table. spoonful of gelatine for six grape ‘fruit. Boll the juice and sugar five minutes, add the dissolved gelatine and freeze. When half frozen add the ‘well beaten whites of two eggs. Serve ‘with a preserved cherry on each dish. Household Hints. Clean mirrors with a damp cloth dipped in alcohol. In the spring when apples grow tasteless add a little rhubarb to the pie to give it a fresh taste. Freshen a carpet by wiping with cloth dipped in alum water, using one tablespoonful of powdered alum to six quarts of warm water. Matting is freshened by washing in salted water. A tablespoonful of salt to six quarts of water. Save the tea leaves from the tea pot to use on the carpet when sweep- ing. Beat five eggs until well mixed, add one-half a cup of maple syrup, a dash of salt and three cupfuls of milk. Strain into a dish or mold. Set the mold in a dish on a folded newspaper or trivet, pour boiling water around it and bake until the custard is firm. pea eee aT a uit Kh We | Ocal TT.

A delicious fish chowder may be made of any of our fresh water fish. Clean and boil them, removing the bones and skin, then shed the fish and add to the other ingredients prepared as follows: Fry out a piece of fat salt pork (half a pound, cut in dice), add half a dozen potatoes, sliced taree onions and sufficient water to cover, cook until the vegetables are tender, add a quart of milk, half a dozen 'arge crackers, butter and. salt to taste Serve hot. It seems too bad that people living inland should not enjoy the fish chowders of the seashore; the fresh fish may take the place of the salt water fish and make a dish very little inferior to the coast chowders. eae Line a pastry plate with crust and cover the bottom well with well- cleaned dates from which the stones have been removed. Add a cupful of milk, a dash of salt, a grating of nut- meg and one egg well beaten, bits of butter dotted over the top and a quar- ter of a cupful of sugar. Bake in a slow oven until set. Household Hints. Rub the lumps of sugar to be used in Russian tea or iced tea with lemon peel and you havea delicately flavored sugar which adds to the tea, Equal parts of baking soda and salt dissolved in water and well rubbed in will relieve the pain caused by bites of insects. Breakfast Hash. Prepare any hash of meat and po- tatoes finely chopped and well sea- soned; make a nest for each indi- vidual and in It place a nicely poached egg, sprinkle with salt, dot with but- ter and serve. A poached egg is much better in appearance if dropped into a greased muffin ring in the pan of water. Then remove with a skimmer. FEricatelli.. Chop raw fresh pork very fine, add ® little salt, pepper and two small onions chopped fine, half as much ‘bread as there is meat, soaked until soft, and two beaten eggs. Mix well and’ make into patties; fry lke oys- ters. Serve with slices of lemon. rene 2 ay PRA SP Lob tel 1 PA ag HO TOMS, tan and knows SLetive totnaa iat seam son masonite aILCre on ear Bee Se ine eet we aie uses Care of Furs. Furs are needed nearly the year around in our uncertain climate and many women do not put them away at all. Furs that are often used need con stant watchfulness and frequent sun- ning and airing, They should be kept in air-tight bags and hung where they will not be forgotten. Very heavy long coats and furs, rugs and wraps should be sent to a professional packer. These firms keep them in cold storage and are care- fully preserved from moths. Such furs should be carefully tagged, so that no exchange will be made, Where furs are packed at home, as most furs are, they should be well cleaned before putting away. A soiled spot is often the nesting place for moths. Rub dry bran or cornmeal into the durable furs and powdered magnesia into sable, ermine and chinchilla. When very dirty, meal may be mixed with gasoline before using. Do not tub too vigorously. Never hang on a line and beat, as such treatment will mean torn skins, In brushing use a stiff brush, part ing the hair evenly and getting at the felt. To remove any cleaning meal a man’s hat brush is good. Sun and air furs for several days before packing away. Brush with the ‘nap of the fur. Small furs if wrapped in newspaper are well protected, as moths dislike the printer's ink, After wrapping in paper tle up in a thick cotton bag; a pillow case makes a good bag. A few cedar twigs put inta the top of cae bag or cedar chips may be used, but many successful furriers use no preservatives when using this method. Washing Flannels. Do not leave woolen garments lying about wet; it causes them to shrink. Avoid extremes of heat and cold. Warm water is the best. Do not dry the flannels in the sun or in front of a fire; they should not be allowed to steam. Melt the soap to make a lather; never rub soap on flannel. Squeeze the articles gently between the hands, but do not rub them; turn and repeat until clean. Rinse in wa- ter of the same temperature. Pass air. ROU SER ee Oe Wi sr cl Se TSI eu Laundry Notes. To preserve color in ginghams soak them in a pail of water to which add a tablespoonful of kerosene an hour before washing. ‘To bring back the pink into a faded dress, use dark red crepe paper in the rinsing water and a little of the color in the starch, using care to strain the pulp of the paper out of the water. A dress will bear another washing before it will need to be dipped again. Home Remedies. Take common rock salt, dry in an oven and mix with spirits of turpen- tine in equal parts, put it Into a rag and wrap {t around the felon. As it drys put on more and in twenty-four hours the felon is cured. For cold on the chest, wring out a flannel from hot water, sprinkle with turpentine and lay on the chest. Lard and turpentine in equal parts rubbed on the chest is alo a fine remedy for a cold. Sandwich Filling. » A very simple but good filling for sandwiches is made by chopping fing two hard-cooked eggs, add two table- spoonfuls of melted butter with a few drops of onion juice and season well with salt and pepper. A bit of chopped olives with fried bacon minced fine makes a very ap- petizing sandwich filling. Contrary Discipline. First Maid—My master is the con trarist of men. Second Ditto—How do you mean?

An improvement has been recently made in the design of the motorcycle, which brings it nearer to the automo- bile class. It has a carriage body and seat which gives it more the appear- ance of an automobile, but the great- est innovation is the introduction of auxiliary wheels, one on either side, by which the vehicle is instantly transformed into a four-wheeler. This change is desirable when the operator is wending his way through crowded streets where it is necessary to move slowly or when it is necessary to come to a stop. The additional wheels are — K f Ll oF len (7 “a [Be | ean Ae —= AAR It es rn Ca aN gi Sef) any Ay Ya y Four-Wheeled Motorcycle. quite small, but large enough to an- swer all purposes and are controlled from the handle bar. This improve- ment will make the motorcycle avail- able to many who otherwise are afraid to make use of it, on account of the necessity of maintaining a rather high rate of speed in order to keep the machine in an upright pos!- tion. LARGEST ANIMAL IN WORLD Represented by Colossal Skeleton of Whale Eighty-seven Feet Long in New Zealand Zoo. What {s claimed as the largest anl- mal in the world is represented by a colossal skeleton in the museum of Christchurch, New Zealand. This is the remains of a large specimen of the blue whale stranded on the coast of that country. This whale is prob- ably the largest of all living animals. ‘The length of the skeleton is 87 feet, and the head alone is 21 feet. The weight of the bones is estimated at nine tons. This gigantic whale gets its name of blue whale from the dark dluish-gray of its upper surface. The tinge of yellow on its lower part has led to the name “sulphur bottom,” by which it is known on the western side of the Atlantic. It is otherwise known as Sibbald’s rorqual (Balenoptera sib- baldii). - The chief food of this gigantic ant- mal is a small marine crustacean (Trysanopoda inermis), known to the whalers as “kril.” Another species of the same shrimp-Itke group has been obtained in thousands from the stom- achs of mackerel caught on the Cor- nish coast. The nearly related opos- sum shrimps, found in enormous num- ber in the Greenland seas, form the chief food of the common whale. Some of the thysanopoda are phos- phorescent and contribute to the luminosity of the sea, PLANT LOOKS LIKE INSECTS Spots on Orchid Resemble Flies and Bees—imitations Are Puzzling to Flower Scholars, Orchid imitations are a puzzle to flower scholars. The whole appear- ance of the flower is suggestive of some insect, sometimes to quite a re- markable degree. It does not seem easy to find any real purpose that could be served by this resemblance, yet no one imagines that it can be aceidental. ‘Any one who knew of the bee or- chid, a native of Europe, and came upon it for the first time would at ‘once recognize it. It seems to be a large velvety brown backed bee variegated with yellow. The two lateral petals might serve well for the ‘wings of the insect. In the center of the lip of the fly orchid there is a small bluish spot like the body of a fly. The two lateral petals are slender and curiously like the antennae of an insect. The whote filusion is complete and suggests to the casual glance that « few fies are hanging on the stem of some plant which has cast Its flowers. FINGERS AND FORKS. ‘You must not use your fingers, dear, ‘A fork will do Instead.” Mamma looked down upon her son, ‘And gravely shook her head. “Tt 1 not nice for little boys To use thelr hands that way.

More than 12,000 southern boys less than eighteen years old planted and cultivated an acre of corn each year under the direction of the department of agriculture. Persons interested in the experiment in Arkansas, Missts- sipp!, South Carolina and Virginia of- fered to pay the expenses of a trip to Washington for the boy in each state who raised the greatest amount of corn on his acre. The winning boys will soon visit the national cap- ital. ‘The average yield of corn to the acre in 1909 was a little more than twenty-five bushels. The South Caro- lina boy, who made the best record, produced 152%, says Youth's Com- panion, If they should be followed ex- actly the yield of corn to the .acre could easily be doubled in a single year. Intensive cultivation {s worth while on all crops. The average yield of potatoes to the acre in 1909 was 107 bushels, but the Maine farmers aver- aged 225 bushels, and some of the more progressive of them dug 400 bushels to the acre. The yield of corn and potatoes depends more upon cult!- vation and fertilization than upon the soil, and there is practically no part of the United States in which these crops cannot be raised successfully. It is beyond doubt that larger crops can be produced from ten acres thor oughly tilled than from two or even three times ten acres cultivated as they usually are. The fact that the South Carolina prizewinner raised more corn on one acre than the aver- age farmer produces from six tells a story that should not be lost upon those for whose benefit the experl- ment was made. NOVEL COASTER FOR YOUTHS Healthful Device Can Be Used as Racer, Cart, or to Glide Merrily Down Any Hill. An entertaining and healthful de vice for children has been invented by an Ohio man. It consists of a triangu- lar base portion with two weels in back and a steering wheel in front, From the steering wheel a handle rises high enough to be within com fortable reach of a person standing on the footboard in the rear. With one foot on this board and pushing with the other foot, a boy can attain a re aaa a OK PY 3 (Yt RA go L, Ww L® _ ek & Light and Easy to Pull. markable speed with this device and can have many a good race with his friends. Another use for it is as a regular coaster, for gliding down hill, though as has been seen it can be pushed up hill and has therefore an advantage over most coasters, espe. clally those that depend on snow. Finally, the device can be used as a cart, there being an attachment that serves as a seat. Being of such light construction, the small boy will find it much easier to pull his comrades on this than on the ordinary wagon, and it is very strongly made so there is no danger of a breakdown. Durable Bubbles. To make bubbles that can be blown big and will last take a piece of pure white soap about the size of a walnut and cut it up in a cupful of warm wa- ter.

Mount Usu Has Almost Disappeared and Usu Bay Has Nearly Filled Up. Tokio, Japan.—Tremendous earthquakes and a volcanic eruption have worked Lavoc on Usu bay, on the southern part of the Island of Hokkaido, according to advises received here. Few details have been received, but it is believed that the fatalities will be very heavy. The advices say the earthquake shocks began on July 25 and have continued almost without interruption 184 distinct tremors being recorded. Shortly after the shocks began subterranean rumblings were heard and almost simultaneously more than 100 fissures appeared on the side of Mount Usu and a violent eruption followed. While huge quantities of redhot sand and boiling muddy water were thrown high in the air by the mountain, Mount Usu began to crumble and collapse o nail sides, and today had almost been leveled. For four days a panic has reigned in the vicinity of the mountain and 8,000 refugees have abandoned their homes and are fleeing inland for their lives. It is feared that the entire surrounding country will be laid waste by the volumes of hot sand. The meager advices received here say that during the most violent earthquakes there was a terrific upheaval of the bottom of Usu bay and that the harbor and practically all the shipping in the bay was destroyed. As a result of the upheaval the great bay is now only four fathoms deep. HOLD SECRET COURT MARTIAL Trial of Capt. Guy Smith, Just Back From the Philippines, Begins at Fort Leavenworth.

You Man In the City, Take This Timely Tip, and Forthwith Skedaddie Right Back to the acm: It is Paula’s old-fashioned whim that makes us visit the old toiks in the city every five Gr six years. 1 think she hates to leave the comforts of the farm a8 much as | do, but she was born atid reared in the city, poor girl, and, per: haps, even stupid, out-of-date Broad- way has a faint memorial lure for her. Also she has a queer sentiment about wuly to one's parents, never having Leen taught that parents are mere ac- caients, tor which one is not respon- sible, Never again, though! I'm back among. tay cows and conveniences, and never- luore will I be dragged into the dinky, dull, seedy, subway-ridden, poverty- stricken dump they call New York. 4aula’s folks can think, if they want to, that I’m swelled up and look down cn them just because I'ma farmer and ihey mere common city folks. ‘They «an come out here and gape at my pri- vate monorail system, run my best seroplane into the hanging spinach gardens and smash the wireless with weir chatter to Cousin Rudolph's folks in Mars. They're welcome any time. But they can’t reciprocate. ‘My father had some sense. He was a €0od old Forty-niner—joined the Back- to-the-Land Rush of 1849, you know— and I've stuck to his pay dirt. The fools that stayed in the city can keep staying there. If they can live on $59,000 a year and enjoy clerking in a store at that pay, all right. But one of my automatic hens earns more than that in a week. I've tried to help ‘em, too. Why, my wife's dad, even at sixty-five, it he'd take my advice and buy a little 14 story irrigation farm in Sahara, stock it with artificial dirt, raise flowers on the ground floor, pigs on the second, fruit on the third, and so on, would have a decent nest-egg before he died. And he'd be within 15 minutes’ fly of New York all the time. The cost of living began going up ’way back in my grandmother's time— 1908 or something like that—and still a lot of those city dopes couldn't take 4 hint—went on putting good money into railroads with two rails. However, it's no use ridiculing the wife's folks. All I say is that I won't visit their foolish urban den any more. Why, the old man makes noises when he talks, as if the soundless speaker had never been invented. And he want- ed me to shave with a safety razor, when one could see at a glance that my vacuum puller had given me a bald face for life. Then, when Lasked the butler to call up Aunt Jennie’s spirit in the other world on the spook telephone, Paula’s mother informed me that they didn’t talk with the dead, because it seemed uncaanny to their old-fashioned minds. Wouldn't that crumple you up? But, of course, they're poor. I don’t suppose the old man’s got a million to his name. So I'll have to forgive them for running the sewing machine and wash wringer with an electric battery, insteaa of connecting the house with Halley's comet power, which runs everything on the farm except Paula. Yes, I forgive ’em, but never again for me! Hey, Gus, switch the weather regulator for rain.

In connection with a recent demand of German nurserymen for seeds of the Montana larch, to be planted in Germany, the curious fact is brought out that while pine seedlings are to be imported from Germany to be planted in the province of Ontario, Canada. Now the white pine planted to Europe many years ago, to rein- force the forests there. It has flour- ished so well in the old world that it now appears that the German nur- serymen are able to deliver white pine seedings on this side of the ocean more cheaply than American nursery- men will furnish them. The inter- change of trees among the various continents is a most interesting devel- opment of modern civilization. Be- sides the white pine, Europe has ta- ken from us the Douglas fir and the black walnut, and we have taken the eucalyptus from Australia and the Norway spruce and Scotch and Aus- trian pine from Europe. ppeanting Hospitality. “The former governor was making his way through the gloom of a driz- ging rain on Pennsylvania avenue, some few nights since.

Lindsey of the famous Denver juvenile court said in the course of a recent address in char- ity: “Too many of us are inclined to think that, one misstep made, the boy is gone for good. Too many of us are like the cowboy. “Au itinerant preacher preached to 4 cowboy audience on the ‘Prodigal Son.’ He described the foolish prodi- gal’s extravagance and dissipation; he described his penury and his husk- zating with the swine in the sty; he jescribed his return, his father’s lov mg welcome, the rejoicing, and the preparation of the fatted calf. “The preacher in his discourse no- ifeed a cowboy staring at him very hard. He thought he had made a con- vert, and addressing the cowboy per- sonally, he said from the pulpit: “My dear friend, what would you have done if you had had a prodigal zon returning home like that?” “‘Met" said the cowboy, promptly and fiercely, ‘I'd have shot the boy and raised the calf.’”—Detroit Free whtcian EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH VILLAGE “Mm Dowlats, South Wales, about fif- teen years ago, families were strick- en wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as ft itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of thy question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. “The doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail what- ever. Then the families tried a drug- gist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days’ treat- ment with Cutfcura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonder- ful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. “I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our fam- flies Have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas Hugh, 1650 West Huron St., Chicago, IL, June 29, 1909.” The Deacon's Parable. A self-conscious and egotistical young clergyman was supplying the pulpit of a country church. After the service he asked one of the deacons, a grizzled, plain-spoken man, what he thought of his morning effort. “Waal,” answered the old man, slowly, “I'll tell ye in a kind of para- ble.

In @ comparative study of the cost of maintenance in thirty tuberculosis sanatorlums the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu- berculosis found that the food cost in most of the institutions represented one-third of the annual expenditures. ‘The average daily food cost per pa- tient was $0.544. The expenditures for salaries and wages represented nearly another third, being $0.481 per day per patient out of a total of $1.609. The fuel, ofl and light cost was $0.206 per capita per diem, or about one-eighth of the total cgst. The datly cost in the several institutions ranged all the way from $0.946 per patient to $2.55. In the far west and southwest, as in Colorado and New Mexieo and Call- fornia, the cost was higher than in the east, in New York and New England, being $2.025 per patient as against 31.748. The total expenditures of the thirty institutions were $1,363,053.28, while “the total receipts from all sources were $1,548,525.74. More than 70 per cent. of the receipts were re- ceived from public funds and private benefactions, only 28.8 per cent. being from patients, Stated in another way only 35 per cent. of the total expendi: tures were received from patients, the remainder being mae up from other sources. c Tit for Tat. Being of a literary turn and having plenty of leisure, both Mr, and Mrs. Giuppins contributed special articles occasionally to two different newspa- pers in the town where they resided. One day Mr. Guppins picked up a manuscript his wife had just finished, and proceeded to look it over. “That’s very good, Rertha,” he safd, after completing his inspection, “but I see you use the phrase, ‘well-known fact’ I wouldn't do that.” “Why not?” she asked. “Well, if a’ thing is well-known, why mention it?” His wife sald nothing in rejoinder at the time, but a few days later, while reading one of his articles in print, she found something to erlticize. “Horace,” she said, “I am surprised to see you using the phrase, ‘self-evi dent." “What's the matter with that?” “Why, if a thing is self-evident, what is the use of calling attention to it?” Horace looked at her sharply over his glasses, but_made no verbal re. sponse.—Youth’s Companion.
