THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER Seeking For Better Health. FOURTEENTH YEAR Seeking F Bett HEALTH H Speeds To West On account of ill health W. N. Miller, editor of the Searchlight left Tuesday night via Santa Fe. for Colorada Springs Colo. where he goes to re-cuperate. The editors health is of long standing and was bought on by hard over work in his ambitious effort to establish the Searchlight in the community. For the past fourteen years he has been a hard, constant worker, closely applying himself to his business—and it has been this too close and too constant application that has at last broke his health and now hastily speeds him to the Western mountains. The editor will be absent from three to eight weeks—owing to conditions. The Searchlight will still be published from its office, 630 N. Main St. and will be in charge of Mr. Nathan B. Copeland, who will take pleasure in filling the want of anyone desiring any job work or "adds". We wish to ask our patrons and friends to call see Mr. Copeland during our absence and give us some of your job printing. We assure you that the smallest job as well as the largest will receive Mr. Copeland personal attention—and will at the same time be of invaluable aid to us. To Our Friends left Behind Just as we are about to begin our lonesome jonrney westward in search of something we know not what that will give us a new or improved lease on the tiny cords of life -we are constrained to sad these few words. An association of more than twelve years with the people of this community has awakened within us a feeling of nearness which only close association caubring, and the many favors and kind cohesiderations extended us during these years has confirmed us in our belief that Wichita has the kindest and the best-hearted white and colored has been a source of constant pleasure—for therefore—it is with relucture on our part that we take our leave—although our absence will be of short duration. We wish to say to our friends left behind that the past association with them will be a source of the pleasant thought to us as we ajouru by the way. And we can eagerly welcome the time when can return and take our place among them. Our Highest Aim What ever has been our endeavor—our highest aim has been to prove ourselves worthy the friendship, aid, and support, of the people of this community—if we have in any manner accomplished this we feel repaid for our effort. We begin this health-seeking journey trusting that on our return the same pleasant and cordial relations will exist that has existed during these many years of the past. Bought Beautiful Home Dr. H. T. Bolden, Wichita's colored dentist, has purchased the desirable residence property on Water Street near Pine known as the "Gunn place", This is one of the most desirable residences on Water St. and the doctor and his wife are to be congratulated on their choice and good luck.

Strength In Advancing Age. Strength in Adventuring Age. To Hugo the years that bend and weaken and wrinkle the genius of the master seem but to bring fresh strength and energy and beauty. He lives like the lions. His brow, seamed with August furrows, rises under a mane larger, thicker, more bristling and more disheveled than ever before. His yellow eyes are like suns within caverns; when he roars the other animals are silent. Or, changing the comparison, one might liken him to an oak that dominates the forest; its anomous wrinkled trunk bursting into leaf, its branches might as trees. Its deep-reaching roots drink of the sap of the heart of the earth, its head almost touches heaven. In its vast foliage the stars shine at night, the birds sing at dawn. It braves the sun, the tempest, the wind, the thunder and the rain. The very scars of the thunderbolt have added to its beauty something formidable and superb. Gantier's "Portrait of Victor Hugo."

TRADE WITH OUR ADVERTISERS They'll Treat You Right TAFT AGAINST ORGANIZATION SAYS POSTAL EMPLOYES SHOULD NOT FORM UNION. Use of Strike and Boycott by Them Would Be Source of Danger to the Government. Harrisburg, Pa.—The present visit was the first that President Taft has ever made to Harrisburg. A large crowd was gathered to welcome him and he was driven to the Casino theater, where he addressed the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. Governor John K. Tener introduced the president. The president spoke on the right of government employees to organize labor unions and then affiliate with the American Federation of Labor "I think some persons have gone to the extreme of holding that it is entirely proper for combinations of postal employees and others to combine in an association to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor and then to hold in reserve as an instrument for enforcing their claims presented to congress for increased compensation or the betterment of terms in other respects, the boycott and the strike, which are instruments recognized by the American Federation of Labor and supported and justified by it when used by the trades unions affiliated in such federation," said the president. "This presents a very serious question and one which, if decided in favor of the right of government employees to strike and use the boycott, will be full of danger to the government and the republic. The government employees of France resorted to it and took the government by the throat. "It was seen that to allow government employees to use such an instrument was to recognize revolution as a lawful means of securing an increase in compensation for one class and that a privileged class, at the expense of all the public." WANT TEACHERS IN PHILLIPINES Examinations Will be Held August 30 and 31 to Obtain a List of Eligibles. Washington, D. C.—The government is holding out attractive inducements to ambitious and well trained young men and women to transfer their activities to the insular possessions of the country. The education of the Filipino is a task toward which insular bureau officials are directing special effort and, to augment the small army of 9,000 American teachers already employed in Philippine schools, the government is appealing for more instructors. Examinations will be held throughout the country August 30 and 31 next to obtain a list of eligibles. MORE ANTI-TRUST LEGISLATION Progressives in Congress Believe Supreme Court Decision Makes Some Action Imperative. Washington, D. C.—That the decision of the supreme court in the Standard Oil case will lead to a further campaign by the progressive Republicans for effective anti-trust legislation was disclosed at the capitol. After analyzing the court's decision, progressives in the house and senate said bills amending the Sherman antitrust law would be prepared within the next few days and introduced in both branches. There also were intimations that an effort might be made to get action on the proposed legislation at this session. Telephone Number Has Value: Telephone Number Has Value. St. Joseph, Mo.—When a telephone number has been used for a long time in connection with a mercantile business, and is generally known among the patrons, it has a distinct commercial value, and may be regarded as one of the assets of the business, according to the ruling of Circuit Judge Amick in a Winthrop receivership case. Over such a number the telephone company has no control. It cannot arbitrarily take the number away and give it to a competing concern. Oklahoma Cannot Keen Gas Oklahoma City, Ok.-The decision of the supreme court of the United States holding that the Oklahoma law to prevent the piping of gas outside the state is void, means the end of efforts first set on foot by former Gov. C. N. Haskell, to keep Oklahoma gas within Oklahoma. Mining Cattle From Mexico. Nogales, Sonora, Mexico.—A round-up of 60,000 cattle on ranches in the vicinity of Conada, Nogales and Naco has been ordered for shipment into the United States. The cattle probably will be bonded through the Nogales port on a special concession from the treasury department. Red Cross for Juarez Laredo, Tex.—A Red Cross party of 25 from Mexico City passed through here en route to Juarez. The mission was headed by Dr. Leopoldo E.

THE CUSTOM HOUSE, CIUDAD JUAREZ THE STATE HOSPITAL The entries through this custom house into Mexico from the United States are among the heaviest into the republic. Ciudad Juarez is the northern terminus of the Mexican Central railway, the first line to be constructed from the City of Mexico to the frontier of Texas. STANDARD OIL MUST DISSOLVE THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT SO RULES. The Giant Corporation is Declared a Combination in Restraint of Washington, D. C.—The Standard Oil company must dissolve its union of 19 corporations within six months. That is the order of the supreme court of the United States, which was announced, with only one justice dissenting, that the Standard is a combination in restraint of trade and a monopolization of the oil business. The opinion, written by Chief Justice White, said that it was a plain case against the Standard when considered from the standpoint of the rule of reason, which must of necessity be invoked in administering the Sherman anti-trust law. The supreme court interpreted the Sherman anti-trust law so as to limit its application to acts of "undue" restraint of trade and not "every" restraint of trade. It was on this point that the only disordant note was heard in the court. Justice Harlan dissented, asserting that cases already decided by the court had determined that the word "undue" or "unreasonable" or similar words, were not in the statute. He said the reasoning of the court in arriving at its finding was, in effect, legislation which belonged in every instance to congress and not to the courts. President Calls It a "Political Nostrum" from Which He Hopes We May Be Saved. New York.—Denouncing the recall of judges as a "political nostrum," President Taft told the conference on reform of criminal law and procedure at its annual dinner that he hoped the "strong sense of humor of the American people would save them from this latest radical proposition." The president, reviewing the history of the American judiciary, cited the gradual tendency toward restricting the power of judges as a possible explanation of the laxity of American justice as compared with the English brand. THEY TALK OF ADJOURNMENT With the First Days of Warm Weather Congress Begins to Lose Interest. Washington.—Although the special session of congress is little more than a month old, talk of adjournment already has become general. The hot weather last week in Washington stimulated more interest in summer resorts than in tariff questions. For several days they have been considering the possibility of getting through for the summer by June 15. FROM CROPS $8,926,000,000 That Was the Amount of Wealth Represented by the Products. of 1910. Washington.—The wealth produced on farms of the United States was $8,926,000,000 last year, as estimated by the department of agriculture in a statement just issued. This is an increase of $104,000,000 over 1909. Texas, with 10,000,000 acres of cotton, took from Illinois the honor of being first in the value of principal farm crops. The Texas production aggregated $364,110,000. To Jail for Whipping Teacher. 10 to ask for Wiping Teacher McAleister, Ok.—Mrs. Henry Walker was fled $5 and sent to jail for ten days for attacking Miss May Stalcup a school teacher who had reprimanded Mrs. Walker's son and later sent him to the principal to be punished. Watching the Mexican Border Washington.—The department of commerce and labor is keeping an eagle eye on immigration over the Mexican border. Unusual opportunities for undesirables to slip in have been afforded there of late. GOMPERS WRONGLY SENTENCED Washington, D. C. Setting aside the sentences of imprisonment imposed by the supreme court of the District of Columbia, for alleged disobedience to a boycott injunction, the supreme court of the United States holds that Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, president, vice-president and secretary, respectively, of the American Federation of Labor, had been erroneously sentenced to jail on a charge of contempt of local court. The court unanimously held that the only sentences that could be imposed on the labor leaders were fines. In so holding, the supreme court of the United Sates found that the court of appeals of the District of Columbia and the supreme court of the district ered in treating the contempt proceedings as a criminal case and not a civil one. The effect of holding the proceedings a civil one was to make jail sentences impossible. Hence the jail sentences had to be set aside. TO DECIDE BOUNDARY DISPUTE An International, Commission is in Session at El Paso to Pass on a Mexican Claim. El Paso, Texas.—To decide the ownership between nations of $7,000,000 worth of property now on the American side of the Rio Grande river in the southern section of the El Paso, an international commission met here. The land is known as the Chemizl strip and jurisdiction is exercised by the United States, but Mexico lays claim to it on the ground that the river changed from its original course in 1852 and that the property thus thrown on the American side is Mexican territory. The property is about five blocks wide and two blocks long in the southern part of the city, inhabited mostly by Mexicans in small buildings. NEW ACTION AGAINST GOMPERS The Supreme Court of District of Columbia Instituted Contempt Proceedings. Washington, D. C.—Contempt proceedings were instituted against Samuel Gompers, president, John Mitchell, vice-president, and Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, by the supreme court of the District of Columbia. The court acted upon its own initiative following the setting aside by the United States supreme court of the sentences of imprisonment imposed on these men and the remanding of the case to the district supreme court. More Legislators Indicted. Columbus, Ohio.—The grand jury here indicted three more legislators in the bribe scandal. They are Senator Edgar T. Crawford, a merchant of Carroll county; Owen J. Evans of Canton, the home of President McKinley, and Dr. A. C. Lowrey, of Ironton. All were charged with soliciting bribes. Fort Biley Gains Importance Junction City, Kas.—The department of the Missouri will be commanded from Fort Riley instead of from Omaha. Col. Charles A. P. Hatfield of the Thirteenth regiment, being the ranking officer of the department, has assumed charge in addition to commanding his regiment and the post al Fort Riley. Kansas Court May Act Now. Topeka, Kansas.—The decision in favor of the government in the Standard Oil case probably will mean an early settlement of the Kansas antitrust case on quite favorable terms to the state. Veto Bill Passed Commons London, England.—The fight in the house of commons over the veto bill, to curtail the powers of the house of lords is ended. The measure was carried on its third reading, 362 to 241. THE DECISION HELPS STOCKS Big Financial Interests Interpret Action of Supreme Court as Favorable to Corporations. New York, N. Y.—The big financial interests in New York interpret the United States supreme court decision in the Standard Oil case as indicating that corporations exercising a "reasonable amount of restraint of trade" cannot be disturbed under the Sherman anti-trust law and that even those corporations, like the Standard Oil company, which violate the law, will be able to readjust their operations so as to conform to the requirements of the government. In consequence of this view of the situation, and because the long period of uncertainty as to the outcome of the anti-trust cases is now at an end, there was a remarkable demonstration of activity and strength in the stock market. Very large buying orders were in the hands of brokers at the outset, and the absorption of stocks continued at steadily advancing prices. Most stocks advanced 2 to 3 points, and there was no subsidence in the demand. THINKS FASTING CURED HIM An Oklahoma Man Has Gone Without Food 30 Days and Feels Better. Oklahoma City.—Clarence Patrick, 34 years old, telegraph operator, student and globe trotter, completed the thirtieth day of a fast which he has undertaken for the purpose of curing himself of deafness and rheumatism. Patrick lives at 117 South Hudson avenue, this city. He announced that his hearing is as nearly perfect as before he became a victim of catarrh and that all traces of his rheumatism has disappeared.

His weight had been reduced from 145 pounds to 125. He says he will continue his fast another week at least and perhaps longer. CORPORATIONS TO SHOW BOOKS Grand Juries Can Get Evidence Even If it Does Incriminate Officers Washington, D. C.-The supreme court of the United States has approved the recent sentence of contempt imposed in the New York courts on Christopher C. Wilson, president of the United Wireless Telegraph company, because of refusal to permit the examination of the company's books. By this decision the federal government won a far-reaching legal controversy, in that officials of corporations cannot refuse to give up possession of corporation books for examination by grand juries, lest they themselves be incriminated thereby. STEEL TRUST INQUIRY ORDERED The House Passed the Stanley Resolution Without Opposition Following Short Debate. Washington, D. C.—An investigation of the United Stakes Steel corporation was ordered by the house when it passed the Stanley resolution providing for such an inquiry.

THE KITCHEN CABINET DO THE duty which lies nearest thee, which thou knowest to be a duty. Thy second duty will already become clearer. —Thomas Carlyle. flavor and variety which they give to our diet. Many of our vegetables contain materials suited physiologically to our needs. Better far take iron from the vegetable direct than from a bottle. If "it runs in our family not to like vegetables," it follows that we are continually taking drugs to bring STRAWBERRIES. Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did. The strawberry season will soon be at hand, and as there is no berry that is superior to the queen of all berries, a few recipes and ideas on canning may be acceptable. First of all, there is no way of serving the fruit more attractively than fresh from the vines, garnished with its own leaves. When we can strawberries, a fruit that is difficult to keep a good color, buy the berry that is a rich red all the way through and use this method, which, though not new, may not be well known: If you have berries from your own garden, the conditions may be ideal. If picked at night, before the dew falls, they may be put in an airy, cool place until morning. Hull them without washing, if possible, as a little moisture on the berries spoils the firmness and flavor. If they must be washed, do it quickly, and put the fresh berries at once into the cans, with one handling. When all the cans are full, make a rich sirup, as rich as liked, and pour boiling hot over the berries. Put on the rubbers and seal tight. Have a large clothes boiler half full of boiling water, set the jars on a long-handled skimmer and plunge into the boiling water. See that the cans are covered to a depth of four inches. Put on the boiler cover and throw several thicknesses of carpet over the boiler. Let the fruit stand for twenty-four hours or longer. Take out of the water and store in a cool dark place. Such fruit will be fine flavored and beautiful in color. Try all fruit canning this way and see if the work is not much pleasant. The cans may be filled in a cool place under the trees of out on the porch, and with the hot slurp ready, the boiler of water prepared, fruit canning need not spoil the complexion. In all fruit canning, see that the jars have been well sterilized by putting them with the covers into cold water and bringing slowly to the boiling point. Then see that the rubbers are new and the jars air tight. H! HERBACEOUS treat Troubled, the dying an- And plunge his finger in the salad bowl. Serenely full, the epicure would say. Fate cannot harm me. I have dined to day. -Sidney Smith ABOUT GREEN VEGETABLES. Green vegetables form the ideal salad. Salad is a term that belongs especially to a class of uncooked vegetables, although now it has become so mixed that almost any combination has that name. Creamed Celery Served in an Edam Cheese Shell.—Cook the celery until tender, then mix with it a rich cream sauce; put into, the cheese shell, sprinkle with grated cheese and bread crumbs and bake. Stuffed Cabbage.—Cut off the top of a cabbage, remove the center and cook in a muslin cloth, to keep it from breaking, in boiling water until tender. Make a stuffing of bread crumbs and butter and seasonings and fill the shell. Cover and bake. Serve with a white sauce. Fricassee of Parsnips.—Wash, scrape and boll until tender several parsnips. Cut in small pieces and add to a half cup each of white stock and rich milk or thin cream, a blade of mace, one tablespoonful of butter and salt and pepper to season. Simmer a few minutes, add a tablespoonful each of flour and butter together. Boll and serve. Spanish Salad.—Cut into dice three slices of rye bread. Add an equal quantity of diced cold boiled potatoes, three tomatoes sliced and one onion chopped fine. Rub the salad bowl with the cut side of a clove of garlic and pour over plenty of French dressing. Make the dressing by using three tablespoonfuls of oil to one of vinegar, a dash of salt and pepper. Cress and pepper grass with French dressing makes a salad that is also a blood purifier. ND Isaac brought forth the ND Isaac brought forth the milk of the goat, cool with the mountain and said to Abraham, "eat and drink, for the sun is hot, that thou mayest be cool." THE GREEN VEGETABLES. The green or succulent vegetables include many parts of plants, as shoots, leaves, stalks, stems and roots. Vegetables are not only valuable as food, but for the water and mineral matters which they contain and the flavor and variety which they give to our diet. Many of our vegetables contain materials suited physiologically to our needs. Better far take iron from the vegetable direct than from a bottle. If "it runs in our family not to like vegetables," it follows that we are continually taking drugs to bring about the necessary conditions which may usually be produced by a judicious and regular diet of vegetables. It is a noticeable fact that people who suffer from neuralgia and kindred alliments, usually are limited in their vegetable diet and are over fond of sweets. The object of cooking vegetables is to soften the fiber and so render them easier of digestion. It is not a simple thing to serve vegetables in a palatable and tasty way. It is necessary to study the food values of different vegetables so that we may more intelligently feed our families. Carrots, parsnips, beets and salisify are roots rich in sugar. Turnips are less so, and beets, when old, are apt to be fiberous, and thus indigestible. Spinach should be cooked without water, after washing carefully. The water that clings to the leaves will be sufficient. When putting it into a hot kettle, stir until it is wilted, then toss often to keep it from sticking to the kettle. Chop fine and season. Serve with hard cooked eggs cut in eighths. Green vegetables in combination with milk make acceptable soups. Such soups are highly nutritious for children. Those to be recommended are potato, cream of pea and corn soups. In serving cucumbers, many cooks think they are more palatable if soaked for a while in salt water. As a matter of fact, the crispness and delicacy of the vegetable are entirely destroyed by that process. T MORE ABOUT STRAWBERRIES. Early in the season when strawberries are expensive, they may be used as a garnish for dishes or in small quantities. For a change, try: Strawberry Custard.—Separate four eggs, putting the yolks with a pint of milk and four tablespoonfuls of sugar into a double boiler. Mix the yolks with the sugar before adding to the milk. Stir until thick and smooth. Place a dish of fresh strawberries in a pretty dish, pour around them the custard and add the stiffly beaten whites, which have been sweetened with four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Set in the oven to brown and serve cold. When making strawberry shortcake roll out the cake rather thin and butter generously, then lay on another cake. When baked they will split without being soggy. Strawberries in Snow.—Pour one cupful of cold water and one cup of sugar over half a package of gelatine. When soft, add one cupful of boiling water and the juice of two lemons, then the whites of four well-beaten eggs. Beat all together until light and foamy. Just before it sets add a pint of whole strawberries and pour into a mold that has been dipped in cold water. Serve with whipped cream. Strawberry Salad.—Arrange tender white head lettuce in the form of nests. Fill each nest with fresh strawberries and put a tablespoonful of mayonnaise on each. When making mayonnaise for this salad, omit the mustard. Strawberries mashed with sugar (powdered), and flavored with a little lemon juice makes a nice filling for sandwiches. Thin sponge cake could be used instead of bread for the sandwiches. A delicious pie is made by baking a rich pastry shell and filling it with sweetened fresh berries. Over the top put a cover of sweetened whipped cream and garnish with quartered berries. When Josephine was six years old she was taken for the first time to see a trained animal show, and went home much pleased with the performance. As she was at times slow to obey, her mother thought this a good time to teach her a lesson, so she said: "Don't you think, Josephine, that if dogs and ponies and monkeys can learn to obey so well, a little girl like you, who knows much more than animals, should obey even more quickly?" "Of course, I would, mother," came the instant reply, "if I had only been as well trained as they have been." Table Popularity.

What do you suppose fools were made for? That you might tread upon them, and starve them, and get the better of them in every possible way? By no means. They were made that wise people might take care of them. That is the true and plain fact concerning the relations of every strong and wise man to the world about him. He has his strength given him, not that he may crush the weak, but that he may support and guide them. In his own household he is to be the guide and support of his children; out of his household he is still to be the father, that is, the guide and support of the weak and the poor; not merely of the meritoriously weak and the innocently poor, but of the guilty and punishably poor; of the men who ought to have known better; of the poor who ought to be ashamed of themselves—John Ruskin.

It was midnight and the theater crowds were packing the uptown train at Forty-second street. Suddenly a woman's cry rent the air. Laughter and tragedy mingled in the cry and after a startled silence her voice trembled over the surging, voiceless crowd. "My slipper Dick! It's gone down through that crack!" The crowd, happy, irresponsible, laughed and continued to laugh when the girl's escort, with quick presence of mind, picked up the slipperless girl and carried her into the train. "Step lively! Watch the step!" The gates slammed shut and the train moved off. David Ross strolled over to the edge of the platform where the incident had taken place. Quick as a flash he was down on the track level and back on the platform. So quick was his manoeuvre that it passed unnoticed. He strolled to the far end of the station and with his back turned to chance observers drew his hand, with its contents, from his pocket. He gazed whimsically at a woman's bronze pump; on the toe was an exquisitely wrought butterfly of semi-precious stones. Ross thrust the slipper into his pocket and boarded his train. All the way uptown he was conscious of a deep interest in the owner of the bronze pump. Yet it seemed more or less like hunting for a needle in a hay-stack even to contemplate the finding of the girl who was somewhere in the big metropolis. "Somewhere" was a trifle indefinite but David Ross set his face into hard lines and determined to find the owner of the slipper. There was but one point in his favor and that was the value of the shoe itself. The stones of the butterfly were not the ordinary beads that decorate all fancy slippers but were of sufficient worth to suggest that the owner would have a desire to reclaim the footwear. Arrived in his apartment David Ross placed the slipper on the corner of his chiffonier. That one small article of feminine attire changed the entire atmosphere of the room. Ross smiled whimsically and wished that there might be a girl in his life whose slippers belonged all over his room if she wanted them there. In his fancy hoc pictured a head of hair that would gleam under his lamp like the bronze of that slipper and he could imagine the traily part of her dull gold gown where in moments of rashness the toes of a slipper peeked out David took out his note book and worded an advertisement. He would have it inserted in every New York paper. The type should be large and it would remain in the "Lost and Found" column until something happened. When the advertisement was worded to his satisfaction David Ross retired with feelings akin to those of a Prince Charming of the Golden Slipper. Two evenings later, David's reading was disturbed. His valet had ushered in a large, colored mammy who held down her part of the floor with uneasy feet. "I done called for the slipper. My Missy she said to give you this," Black mammy grudgingly held out a ten dollar bill. David Ross thought quickly. He knew that if he relinquished the slipper in this way it would be the end of the affair. The girl's maid would return it to her mistress and the incident would close. That would never do. David Ross turned and addressed his visitor. "I am very sorry—but you have given me no proof that your mistress is the rightful owner of the slipper." Black Mammy's righteous wrath arose. "Haven't I done put dem gold slippers on my missy's feet fo' six months now!" Ross turned to hide his smile. "But my good woman, that does not prove anything to me. Your mistress may or may not have lost this particular shoe. I will not give it up until I see it proper." fitted upon the foot to which it belongs." The woman's indignant protests as she turned back, with muttered imprecations against all white trash amused Ross. He sank back in his chair and reviewed the affair. Even if he should meet the girl now, would she ever forgive him for having treated her personal maid so barbarously? Couldn't he at least have sent a polite little note stating that he desired to see the mate to the slipper before giving up his own. It wa. during the month of February that Ross found among his mail a letter from an old college chum. "Dear Ross: "I learn from Jimmy Holden that you are located in the east now. We are giving a masquerade cotillion on the twenty-seventh and want you to join us. Why couldn't you have let a fellow know you were in town? Hope to see you soon. Am inclosing an invitation. "Sincerely yours, "DICK BLACKSTONE." "Will I go?" David Ross did not question himself second time. He realized suddenly that his life in the big metropolis had been void of social intercourse. Upon the night of the twenty-seventh Ross rigged himself out in a suit of spangled armor. The gray steel following the strong lines of his figure made of him a knight upon whom many a feminine eye lingered. Just before leaving his apartment Ross had slipped the golden pump into the pocket of his great top coat. He never knew just what prompted his action. David Ross was a conspicuous figure in the wonderfully costumed assemblage. He had danced several figures of the cotillion and always with the pleasurable uncertainty of his partner's identity. His partner in the seventh figure was a golden butterfly, and the girl seemed in reality to float about with the great diaphanous wings which were attached to her bare arms. When Ross attempted to encircle her with his arm for a waltz he became entangled in the gauzy folds. "You will have to come under my wing," laughed the girl in a voice that was music. She raised her arm and David drew her to him. They danced in perfect rhythm. During the figure, each girl was expected to kick off one of her slippers, then escaping from her partner, find a seat and there wait until she should be reclaimed. The men seeing a floor full of slippers, each picked up one. Then the hunt for a hundred Cinderellas began. David Ross, because golden slippers seemed ever to be his Fate, picked up one of that color. All about the huge ballroom David searched for a feminine foot encased in gold. He found many of that hue, but all had beads or bows, or were of a different cut. Last—but always having had her in mind—he approached the girl with whom he had been dancing the golden butterfly girl. "May I——" the silver Knight knelt beside the butterfly girl—"try on this?" "Yes, but you see it does not match mine." The girl put out her other foot and David Ross started. The girl's voice went on. "I think every prince in the room has tried to fit his slipper on my foot, but somehow the mate seems lost." "I think I can help you," Ross was on his feet, "if you will wait only a moment—will you?" He bent over the girl trying to get a glimpse of her eyes through the mask. "Yes—I'll wait." Ross went swiftly to the cloak room and from the pocket of his coat extracted a bronze pump. As he turned to the ballroom he thought he saw a familiar black-faced mammy near the entrance to the woman's cloak room. True to her word, the golden butterfly had remained where he had left her. The silver Knight again knelt beside her and it was with trembling fingers that he placed on her foot—the slipper he had held for so many weeks. "Come, Cinderella!" David's tone was light, but the manner in which his arm held her during the remainder of the waltz spoke in many voices. The girl was strangely silent. "Where is the mate to this slipper," he asked, holding up the one which he had taken from the floor. "I put it in the conservatory. "Shall we look for it? Supper and unmasking follow this figure—come!" "Shall I get Dick—to introduce us?" the girl's voice held a hint of mischief. "Then you are Dick Holden's sister?—and my hostess?" David Ross began to underst. and the clever little plot that had been arranged for his benefit. "Yes, Mr. David Ross. Dicky was rather indignant at the treatment my old black mammy had received and went up to investigate. When he saw your name on the door plate——" "I see everything now except——" "Except whether or not I am pretty?" laughed the girl. "No, that is not it. I have always pictured you as having the kind of hair that will sparkle and gleam under a lamp——" Beneath the mask the eyes of the butterfly girl grew wide. That so naturally spoken "will" had sent the blood rushing to every part of her being, but she did not speak. "——and eyes that are big brown shadows except when——" "Unmask! Unmask! Unmask!" A sonorous voice vibrated through the rooms. The heart of David Ross beat quickly as he saw the butterfly girl's fingers go up toward her mask. They trembled and David leaned forward. "Permit me." With steady fingers he unhooked the fuzzy, velvety headgear and it fell back. Their eyes met quickly; hers held dark shadows, save where, far in their depths, a fire was kindling. After a moment David spoke. "Come," he said drawing her arm close to his side. They passed under the big chandelier and the girl glanced up to catch his expression. "Is it?" she asked half seriously. David's eyes caressed the gleaming hair and then looked down to where two slippers peeped, turn about, from butterfly gauzes. "Far, far more beautiful," said David. Remarkable StoryAbout Great Remedy I cannot refrain from writing to say that your Swamp-Root has benefited me greatly. Last year I had a severe attack of lumbago. Was bad for a long time, and on seeing your advertisement, I determined to give it a trial. I did so and in two weeks was cured. I gave a bottle to a poor woman who could scarcely walk. She came to me in four days to tell me she was all right and most thankful. I had another attack last November and was so bad that I could not rise from my chair without assistance and could hardly lace up my boots. I at once sent for more Swamp-Root and after taking two bottles, I am more than glad that I am well again. My age being seventy-three, I am the more convinced of the excellence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. Yours very truely, HENRY SEARLE, 1410 Arch Street. Little Rock, Ark. Letter to Dr. Kilmer & Co.

Can't Ge Can't Get Away From It Is it possible to nourish, strengthen and Rebuild the Brain by Food? Every man who thinks uses up part of the brain each day. Why don't it all disappear and leave an empty skull in say a month of brain work? Because the man rebuilds each day. If he builds a little less than he destroys, brain frag and nervous prostration result sure. If he builds back a little more each day, the brain grows stronger and more capable. That also is sure. Where does man get the material to rebuild his brain? Is it from air, sky or the ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to think about it, the rebuilding material must be in the food and drink. That also is sure. Are the brain rebuilding materials found in all food? In a good variety but not in suitable proportion in all. To illustrate: we know bones are made largely of lime and magnesia taken from food; therefore to make healthy bone structure we must have food containing these things. We would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make healthy bone structure in a growing child. Likewise if we would feed in a skillful manner to insure getting what the brain requires for strength and rebuilding, we must first know what the brain is composed of and then select some article or articles (there are more than one) that contain these elements.

Considerable more than one-half of Phosphate of Potash. Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium and Phosphorus (which join and make Phosphate of Potash) is considerable more than one-half of all the mineral salts in the food. Dr. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on the constituent elements of the body, says: "The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate (Phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with albumen and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain. Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life." Further on he says: "The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies—this is the only law of cure." The natural conclusion is that if Phosphate of Potash is the needed mineral element in brain and you use food which does not contain it, you have brain fag because its daily loss is not supplied. On the contrary, if you eat food known to be rich in this element, you place before the life forces that which nature demands for brain-building.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN Eskimo Tested Efficacy of Telephone Scheme, and Realized He Had Been Decided. An interesting story is told regarding the efforts of an Eskimo to construct a telephone line. The Eskimo came into possession of a piece of wire of considerable length and never having seen wire before he asked Professor McMillan of the Peary north pole expedition what it was and what it was used for. He was told that the white man strung it on poles stuck in the ground and a voice talking to an instrument at one end could be heard at the other end. After some search the next morning the Eskimo was found to be engaged in telephone construction work of his own. He stuck some sticks in the ground and hung his wire on them. He held one end of the wire to his mouth and talked to it at the top of his voice. Then he ran as fast as he could to the other end and held the wire to his ear with the expectation of hearing his own words repeated. When he failed to hear any sounds the expression on his face revealed his opinion of his white friend. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Some Antique Mugs The college collector of antiques stopped off at Bacon Ridge. "Good day, sir," he said, addressing the postmaster. "I am collecting old-fashioned articles and would like to know if I could find anything like that in this hamlet. Say antique mugs, for instance." Uncle Jason, stroked his chin whiskers. "Antique mugs! By hek, I know the very place where that be two of them now." "You do? Here's a good cigar. Now where can I find these antique mugs?" "Why, down on Main street, in Hiram Spruceby's shop. Grandad Wheatley and Pap Simmons are in there getting shaved, and by hek, when it comes to antique mugs, I reckon thars' be the oldest in the country, stranger." A Question of Change A story is going the rounds of a couple of young people who attended church recently. When the collection was being taken up the young man commenced fishing in his pocket for a dime. His face expressed his embarrassment as he hoarsely whispered: "I guess I haven't a cent, I changed my pants." The young lady, who had been examining the unknown regions of woman's dress for her purse, turned a pink color and said: "I'm in the same fix." "Kicking the Bucket." When we speak facetiously of some one for whom we have no reverence as having "kicked the bucket" we employ a phrase that would seem to be a piece of latter-day slang, but, as a matter of fact, it dates back to old England, when, about the year 1725, one Bolsover hung himself to a beam while standing on the bottom of a bucket and then kicked the bucket away. Although at first used only in cases of suicide, it has been applied in the course of years to any death, without distinction. A Strong Preference. "She is literary, isn't she?"

Therefore, the mental state of the individual has much to do (more than suspected) with digestion. Brain is made of Phosphate of Potash as the principal Mineral Salt, added to albumen and water. Grape-Nuts contain that element as more than one-half of all its mineral salts. A healthy brain is important, if one would "do things" in this world. A man who sneers at "Mind" sneers at the best and least understood part of himself. That part which some folks believe links us to the Infinite. Mind asks for a healthy brain upon which to act, and Nature has defined a way to make a healthy brain and renew it day by day as it is used up from work of the previous day. Nature's way to rebuild is by the use of food which supplies the things required.

At All Druggists and Dealers Avoid Substitutes GETTING A HIGH STANDARD Child's Idea of Goodness Set Forth in Perfect Faith, Without Irreverence. All things are relative, and to the child, gazing at life and its wonders with eyes as yet undimmed by so phistication or sorrow, nothing is impossible, nothing unspeakable, nothing too sacred to be discussed or too difficult to be attempted. Not irreverence nor impertinence, but innocence prompts such speeches as that recorded of the child of a popular journalist by his devoted paternal grandmother. "Grandma," said the little boy, delightedly addressing her, "do you know what's going to happen? Papa says that if we're real, real good, he'll take us to the circus!" "That's nice," smiled the young-hearted adult between whom and the eager youngling no hint of age separation mars perfect comradeship "How good do we have to be?" The embryo man, after a moment of silent consideration: "Oh, as good as God. I guess!" Socially Launched. In his native town Jimmy had al- ways been most popular with young and old, but when he was sent away to boarding school, he was for a time too homesick to make friends. His first letter was little more than a wall. "I'm way behind the other boys in everything," he wrote, dolefully. "Tin't only studies, but it's gymnasium and banjos and everything. I don't believe they'll ever have much use for me." But the second letter, written after a week in the new school, was quite different in tone. "I'm all right," he wrote to his mother. "The boys say they'll teach me all they know, for they're proud to have me here. I can stretch my mouth half an inch wider than any other boy in school, and my feet are the longest by a full inch. So you needn't worry about me any more."—Youth's Companion. Strictly Business. Mrs. Knicker—Did you do a show session with your husband? Mrs. Bocker—Yes, I merely had him pass an appropriation bill.

PLACE—Isqiah prophesied in Jerusalem. KINGS—In'Israel, Menahem; in Assyria, Asshur-daan 111. PROPHETS—Hosea, Micah. Isaiah, Itke all great teachers, was obliged to speak many stern warnings. Individuals and nations are best pleased with leaders that praise and flatter them; but such men are ene- mies rather than friends, demagogues rather than statesmen. In our own nation we have many braggarts, and Many easy-going, over-sanguine citt- zens; but the wise men are like Isaiah, clear-eyed to perceive national and personal sins, Vigilance against these is the only price of liberty in a nation and peace in an Individual, The old Greek maxim, “Know thyself,” is still the foundation of true knowledge and wisdom. In our lesson the great prophet warns his nation against three national evils: National ingratitude to God; the menace of ungodly and un- philanthropic wealth; iytemperance the great peril or the nate We can look back over a history full of deliverances. America was settled by men escaping from ctvil and relt- gious oppression. The colonists had many marvelous deliverances from the Indians and other foes. The Union has been saved by the greatest civil war in all histary. We have had ‘among our leaders some of the world's chief men—Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Jefferson, Franklin, The world’s Greatest oceans preserve our country from attack. We have a vast territory, wonderfully rich in minerals and pro- ducing harvests abundant enough for us and for other nations. The natural fruit of a vineyard, carefully prepared—fine, cultivated grapes, and a full crop; that is, he ex- pected obedience to his commands, and love and gratitude and worship. Instead, he got nothing but wild grapes; small, sour and hard—such re- sults as a nation might show that had received no special benefits from Je- hovah. Isaiah next comes to particulars— the two great fundamental sins of his people, and of all nations. It is with remarkable persistence that in every civilization the two main passions of the human heart, Jove of wealth and love of pleasure, the instinct to gather and the instinct to squander, have sought precisely these two forms de- nounced by Isaiah in which to work their social hayoc—appropriation of the soil and indulgence in strong drink. Every clvilized community de- velops sooner or later its land ques tion and {ts lquor question. Is the land question an American question also? In its essentials, yes. But what, back of the land question, fs the fundamental difficulty? The menace of ungodly and unphilanthropic wealth, ia any form—land, or rail- roads, or mines, or mills, or houses to rent, or stocks and bonds, or money to lend. There is more than one Ameri- can whose income is more than a mil- Mon dollars a month. What is Isaiah's second “Woe?” Against drunkenness and its accom- panying evils, and the irreligion that goes with them. Would Isaiah pronounce this woe upon our nation, if he were living to- day? He certainly would. To be sure, there is the most drinking late at night, especially after the theater per. formances are over; and for that rea- son the temperance reformers try everywhere to pass laws aonhe the saloons by 11 o'clock at night. Still, ft is very common, in our cities, to see drunken men staggering around the streets in the morning, in the midst of a spree” that may last for days. Modern men drink many flery, dis- tilled liquors unknown to the ancients. ‘They have added the common use of many drugs, such as opium and co- caine, whose physical and mental ef- fects are more terrible and swift even than those of alcohol. And still the saloon {s the center of all other sins against society—licentiousness, mur der, gambling, graft, political misrule, all are closely connected with the saloon. If our public schools are to give the scholars a practical preparation for Iife, certainly no subject is of greater importance than temperance. Laws requiring scientific temperance in- struction have therefore been passed in all the states and by the national government, and more than forty tem- perance physiologies, for all grades, have been written. Nearly a million essays on temperance themes are writ- ten every year by school children. The universities, colleges and normal schools are taking up the study.

I noticed that her face and body broke out very suddenly, thick, and red as/a coal of fire. I did not know what to do. The doctor ordered castile soap and powders, but they did no good. She would scratca, as it {tched, and she cried, and did not sleep for more than a week. One day I saw in the paper the advertise- ment of the Cuticura Soap and Cutl- cura Ointment, so I got them and tried them at once. My baby's face was as a cake of sores. “When I first used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, I could feo a fiference. In color it was red der. I continued with them. My baby was in a terrible condition. I used the Cuticura Remedies (Soap and Ointment) four times a day, and in two weeks she was quite well. The Cuticura Remedies healed her skin perfectly, and her skin is now pretty and fino through using them, I also use the Cuticura Soap today, and will continue to, for it makes a lovely skin.

Market St., Wichita WAS NOT A BEAUTY LECTURE Timld Little Woman Found Herself Seeking Dress Hints at Federation of Club Women. "The conservation of the natural resources of this country is one of the paramount issues before the American people today and—" The speaker adjusted her nose glasses, raised her eyes confidently from her manuscript to meet the expressions of approval from the thirty or more clubwomen of Iowa, says the Des Moines Register and Leader. It was a stupendous statement and well worth readjustment of one's pose for the dramatic effect. The speaker, who stopped now and then to look up from the script, was neatly but severely tailored, her hear was brushed carefully and not unbecomingly from her high brow. There was not a curl nor a ripple of a marcel wave. Higher education was writ large. A little woman on the back seat in common clothes, seamed face and hard hands fidgeted and looked startled at such an intellectual outburst. "Excuse me, mum," she ventured timidly, as she nudged her neighbor, "is this Mme. Xo's beauty lecture?" "It is not," was the grim rejoinder. "It is the annual meeting of the official board and chairmen of standing committees of the Iowa Federation of Club Women." "Mercy!" ejaculated the woman out of place. Then she "scooted." "I insist upon an allowance of $500 a month—not a penny less!" he cried. "Absurd! That's more than I pay my cook," she retorted with curling lip. "Then get your cook to dance attendance at all manner of boredess affairs; to give you the face to do what an unmarried woman never dares do; to be always at hand yet out of the way; never to mind no matter how you choose to conduct yourself—in short, to be a husband to you in the modern sense of the term!" he flared out defiantly. She perceived that the worm had turned. "Hush!" she implored, and reached for her checkbook—Puck. "You ran into this man at 30 miles an hour and knocked him 40 feet," said the court. "That, or a little better, I suppose," answered the chauffeur. "Why didn't you slow down?" "Mere precaution, your honor. Once I shut off speed and hit a man so gently that he was able to climb into the machine and give me a loosening."

Main St. Wichita, Kansas RARE FORMS OF MARINE LIFE Beaked Whales and West Indian Echinoids Are Described in the Bulletins of the National Museum. The United States National museum has issued two bulletins in the quarto series. Of these the first, Bulletin 73 is "An account of the beaked whales of the family Ziphidae in the collection of the United States National museum, with remarks on some specimens in other American museums," by Dr. Frederick W. True, head curator of the department of biology in the United States National museum. The beaked whales are among the rarest cetaceans and of the three genera only specimens representing about 100 individuals are known. The three genera in the family Ziphidae are Mesoplodon, Ziphius and Beradius, and to the discussions of these with their individual species Doctor True has devoted his attention. The second of these bulletins, No. 74, is "On Some West Indian Echinoids," by the well known authority, Theodore Mortenson of the Zoological museum of Copenhagen, Denmark. Of special interest in this bulletin is the list of North American and West Indian Echinoids, which he has carefully compiled from the specimens obtained by the Blake and the Albatross. The bulletin is beautifully illustrated by 16 full-page plates of these interesting types of marine life. Douglas The Worm. Took Precautions. MAN HAS NO RIGHT TO SCOFF Not so Many Years Ago He Was Crazy Over Dress Himself. No, brother, men have not always been so indifferent to dress as they are today. Their raiment, as compared with the darn foolishness of woman, hasn't always been above reproach. Consider, if you will, the days when our respected forefathers would draw on their lavender-colored pants with a shoe horn, using a little slippery powder, maybe, to help things along, until people looked at their feet and wondered if the pants hadn't been sewed up after the feet got through. Consider their tight boots—made so tight that they caused the most excruciating agony. And remember that the dandles of that day would carefully polish these burning, blasting, pinching, agonizing boots and then step carefully with the toes in a mud puddle so that the mud drying on the lower part would make the feet seem small. O, yes, they did it. And of course you know that a bootjack wasn't used merely because the boots might soil the hands, but because nobody had invented a stump-puller in those days and applied it to the removal of tight boots. And remember the bell-crowned hats, and the dingbats and jimcracks they hung on their watch fobs. And the fancy waistcoats and the frilled shirts. And going even further back, consider what historical drawings give us of information as to ancient dress—the knee breeches with gorgeous rosettes—the brilliant buckles on the shoes—the cream-colored cloaks with mauve satin linings. And the white silk stockings that the excelsior would show through. Think of the bepowdered and becurled wigs when you rave at rats on women's heads and repent of your scoffing words. Face powder? Perfumes and scents? Sure they had 'em. Patches on their complexion—yes, and rouge. They sure were pretty men those days. And going back to the Indian—think of his war paint, of his gaudy blanket, his stained arrows, his painted pony, his bear-oiled hair and his colored feathers. But what's the use? He's not so pretty now. Only he really hadn't ougher scoff so much at hobble skirts and peach-basket hats and Chinese hair switches and things. He really hadn't ougher. As a Buncher. We is one of the most bothersome words in the language. It is responsible for more misunderstandings than any other ten words put together. An editor will start out conscientiously to give his opinions. He will begin by saying "We think," meaning himself. A latter later he will say "we," meaning his advertisers. A few lines farther down he will use the word again, meaning the class of people who read his paper. Then his heart will soften and expand. He will become eloquent with the use of "we," meaning the whole community or the entire human race. Then suddenly he will behink himself and reflect that his is a party organ and "we," the party, is paramount after all. Whereupon he will divest himself of opinions in which the people at large have no interest, or at least no profit. All this is very confusing. The unsuspecting reader struggles along trying in vain to separate the we-goats from the we-sheep. Sometimes that's exactly what the editor is striving for, and sometimes he is the most confused of all. We was invented to conceal thought. —Life. Kaiser's Insult to a Courtler. An incident very reminiscent of such pettiness was told to Tip the other day by an American just returned from Berlin. It seems one of the Kaiser's suite, a noble of high rank, had incurred the imperial displeasure. The Kaiser did not wish to lose this gentleman's services, but apparently desired to humiliate him for the real or fancied offense. At one of the state dinners shortly afterward, the noble was seated half a dozen places from his ruler. Beside him sat a woman of title, whom he had known from the time both could walk. The two conversed animatedly. Suddenly his imperial majesty leaned forward and exclaimed in a harsh voice: "Prince, it is not etiquette to first at my table." The man thus addressed rose to his feet and bowed low. The next day he resigned and retired to his country estate, although it is well known he received a personal letter of apology from Wilhelm II. Not to Be Fooled. Proudly young Tomkins displayed the sights of London to his uncle, fresh from the verdant country. They visited St. Paul and the Embankment and the National Gallery and all the places they could get in free, and, as an especial treat, they visited a music hall, where a trombone solo was in progress when they entered. With rapt attention the old man watched the instrumentalist's facial contortions. At the close the audience applauded thunderously, but the old man sat mute. "Well," said young Tomkins, "didn't you like it?" "Verra good, verra good, no doubt," nodded the old man, "but we country folk canna be taken in so easy as all that; I knew all the time he wasn't a-sawlwin' of it!"—Answera Rev. R.

They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finnish combine it with a surprise amount of gayety. They eat, drink and amuse in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and plashing they dance, they sing, they catch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good natured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world.

Old Scrooge might be a philanthrop Carnegie alongside certain tight wads in Mount Vernon, but William Friedberg has no license to determine publicly who are the men who would squeeze a dollar until the eagle yelled: "Help! I'm melting!" For conducting a voting contest to deter mine the meanest man in Mount Vernon Friedberg, who keeps a clogged store there, was fined five dollars by Judge Platt here. A warning went with the fine. Friedberg lives in Astoria, but does business in Mount Vernon. He placed in his window a placard: "Come in and vote for the meanest man in Mount Vernon." This was followed by a list of names. Conspicuous in the lot were the mayor and chief of police. Then came many solid and stalk citizens. After every name was a number signifying the votes the owner of the name had received so far. Great was the wrath of the so-called "meanest men." Friedberg was ordered to take the sign out of the window, but he refused to do so. His indictment for libel followed. In court he pleaded guilty, but asserted he did not know he was violating any law. White Plains Cor. New York Sun.
