Ju The Seve the dates a week of Th HONESTY THE BEST POLICY. The tendency of some of our young men to dead beat some one out of something is their ultimate undoing, they not only show themselves up in a bad light but dig their own graves in so far as their standing and credit in the community is concerned. Only a few months ago a prominent young man with a bright future before him became possessed with a legacy which with a person of ordinary intelligence, honesty and integrity would have been a stepping stone to fortune, we learn that this young man instead of paying up his debts and establishing himself in business has squandered this legacy and is now practically broke. Thus showing that the dishonest trait of dead beating someone has only tended to hurt him. By all means honesty is the best policy others might well take lessons from the disaster that is apparent in this case. We know men of families in this communit and members of organizations whose word is not worth a match, and whose ambition it seems are to beat someone out of something they should take warning that while they may succeed in dead beating some friend that they in the long run will be the losers and stand before their fellow men in their true light without credit and betrayed for their dishonesty.

We little know, wandering through the sun-kissed stretches of childhood, how this simple song and that gentle word shall some day be our most trusted guides through wilderness and storm. We little think when those soft songs are sung how their soft strains shall sweetly lilt through the doubt and gloom of many a dreary day. The pageants of the world pass quickly by. The glories of the age are born and fade again to nothingness. Each man's view of life is as a glance through a fast revolving kaleidoscope. We strain and struggle at this game, success; our fancies born of last night's dreams are died of age before the sun has set; our loftiest strivings of today are tomorrow all forgot, and we, like careless children, soon are steeped in some new schemes of power or gain or pleasure. How is it, then, that through all the changing years we still hold some ideals unchanged? MEET EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT. The Dunbar Lyceum meets every Friday night at New Hope Baptist church. One of the interesting features of last Friday, November 10, was the mock trial. Mr. J. C. Cowan stole the prize rooster of Dr. G. G. Brown valued at $100.

To Mrs. Mattie Miller Worthy Matron Princess Chapter No.12 O.E.S. Newton, Kan., Nov. 9, 1911. My Dear Mrs. Miller: Having learned with inexpressible regret and sadness of your measureless bereavement, by which a cruel fate has robbed you of one of the best husbands, and the community of one of its noblest citizens. A blow so crushing cannot be mitigated by words of sympathy in this early hour of your great grief, but even at the sacrifice of obtruding upon the sacredness of your sorrow our sympathy for you is such as compels us to briefly express to you the compassion and distress which we feel. We realize, however, that God alone can comfort one so deeply afflicted as yourself. Look, therefore, to Him whose wise purposes, though often mysterious, are nevertheless directed always toward infinite good. It is the order of nature that death shall come to all, and though we reckon it a hardship the inexorable should be accepted as the will of Him who is wise beyond our understanding. May you receive strength from heaven to bear your loss with the resignation of a trusting and loving heart, willing to sacrifice itself to God's desire.

MILITARY SERVICE IN HAWAII By KATHERINE POPE r Schofield barracks, twenty-five miles from Honolulu, the Fifth U. S. cavalry is in garrison, and the original cavalry camp has been added to comparatively recently by the arrival of two battalions of the Second infantry and a full battalion of the First field artillery. There are One may travel thither by train, and a pleasant journey it is speeding along close to the sea, fashing by fields of sugar-cane, with short hailst at tiny stations to let off or take on diminutive Japanese, presently leaving the sea and climbing through narrow gulches to the tableland a thou- A DRAGONS IN RUSSIA plains, mountain, valley and ridge, stretched from the top of the Waianae mountains down to the public highway, across this into pineapple and sugar-cane territory. Lellehua ranch was leased crown land; the 30-year lease almost run out when Uncle Sam took possession of the 16,000 acres—a goodly exercise ground for cavalry men and cavalry horses. When I visited the place, for me the interest began at the very entrance gate. The gate differed little from the ordinary barnyard affair, but on the high framework there was printed in three languages an order to those entering there, a sign expressed in English, Hawaiian and Japanese. English and Americans that ran might read "Keep This Gate Shut." The Hawaiian direction was, "Poni Ka Puka." The Japanese chicken-scratching I forbear to give. at the end with no li Hawaii.

The little pineapple village of Wahiwa la lies only a short distance beyond the Lellehua gates, but is such a new and small center that the soldier finds here nothing of consequence in the way of amusement, longs for the moving pictures, band concerts, sea bathing, peopled streets, and "corner" social offerings of Honolulu. And various causes are pointing towards the permanent settlement of the soldiers, the centralization of troops in Honolulu. As it is now Honolulu seems fairly well soldiered. Off at the west end Fort Shafter, set upon a hill, keeps guard over the town below, and not only promises present and future protection, but also gives a valuable object lesson in soldierly trimness and finish—a needed object lesson to the slovenliness that marks various portions of what should be one of the fairest cities in the world. At quite the opposite end from Fort Shafter, off there about the famous headland, old Diamond Head, Fort Ruger is situated, companies of coast artillery here—at Shafter, infantry. Between Forts Ruger and Shafter lies Fort de Russey, eventually to be an artiller's post. It is generally understood in the army that the men do not like service in Hawaii. They complain of lack of variety, that life here has too much sameness, and they complain because service in Hawaii does not mean increased pay or time allowance, but of these granted elsewhere in the tropics. Yet many of the men give other testimony, approve of the equable climate, the cool trade-winds, discover no little variety in the multitudinous races with their multitudinous customs and costumes; the inland boy finding in this port in the Pacific a babel of voices, a marvelous motley people—Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean, Porto Rican, Filipino, East Indian, Scandinavian, German, French, Anglo-Saxon and others. He hobnobs with all of them, picks up a jargon that he is never to lose—but which it would take a Kipling to put into cold print. The officer who obligingly answered my questions and also volunteered information regarding the invasion of "The Islands" by Uncle Sam's men, told me that while the soldiers were supposed to be indifferent to service in Hawaii, still there were very few desertions. And then we both laughed—for where would the disgruntled desert to? They could scarcely swim the 2,000 miles to San Francisco, and departing vessels are watched by sharp and experienced eyes. If they fied to the mountains or the cane-fields, some day they would have to leave this seclusion, and to secure safe seclusion in a small, sea-girt isle is very difficult. One thing and another keep the soldier to his task, and it is probable that the days do not drag so very heavy, that A sand feet above sea-level. The sun may be shining away with full glare, but the air is fresh and vital, one feels like taking effort, responding to the various invitations to effort that here are offered. Away over to the right stretches the long low line of the Koolan Range. To the left lies the mass of the Waianae mountains, the plains at their base, in front of the Gap, dotted with the various buildings of Schofield barracks. Looking a good place to "do service" and proving a decidedly interesting place to visit. It is a very beautiful and healthful spot where the soldiers are stationed—though a little far from town to suit the soler boys—and sincere are the regrets of officer and officer's wife when the order comes to move on. The barracks are located on what were once ranch lands, and part of the property is still used for that purpose. The old estate included wide plains, mountain, valley and ridge, stretched A WITH "TRUMPET AND DRUM" A LIEUTENANT IN THE FIFTH CAVALRY REVIEW at the end of service here the soldier leaves with no little of aloha (love, or liking) for Hawaii. One constantly comes across the man in khakl—at the beach, in the park, on the cars, on the streets, in the curio shops, in the little show houses. And be it said to the credit of the soldiers that as a whole they seem a very orderly, self-respecting lot, mind their own affairs, treat you with respect, merit respect from you. I would not go so far as to say that they are invariably sober and upright, but then neither are uniformed men. The "miltingary" instead of adding a hoodlum, undesirable element to Honolulu's "ethnological laboratory," may be said to have brought quiet rather than disturbance; and that here "miltingary" discipline and smartness give tone. Well cared-for, well groomed horses are perhaps an aid to the humane society. Well cared-for, well groomed humans set a certain pace are not to be discounted in the general trend from the primitive to the civilized. And looked at from the narrower interpretation of society, folk of wide travel, of social experience and graces, are an addition to an isolated community. A uniform generally attracts attention, but a uniform on horseback special attention. The average person is fond of a dashing figure on horseback, a good horse and a good rider, and the day I visited the cavalry camp at Leilehua I found much pleasure in watching hundreds of good riders and mounts. Though at first approach to the barracks the army mule was much more in evidence than the army horse. There were mules in the corral, mules in the long low sheds, mules driven to great wagons, mules led and one or two officers' carriages were drawn along by mules. Such a big part of things, it seemed incumbent to take a picture of a worthy representative, and I asked a man in authority if I might, then if he would have brought forward a fine specimen, was assured that the one brought forward was considered by its groom—or whatever the attendant is called in the army language—"the best mule in the United States army." On leaving the corral we passed the soldier's quarters, afterward drove on to Officers' Row, marveling at the wonderful cleanliness and trimness everywhere, all as clean and fresh as the air that blew down from the mountains over the wide open stretches. The dwellings were but temporary affairs, but already had an established look, suggesting they were occupied by people that kept to the habit of making themselves at home as soon as landed. Having a note of introduction to the colonel, we asked direction to his quarters, found his house at the head of the row and an orderly on the veranda. Also a cat, which gave a peaceful, domestic look to the abode of the man of war. Shortly the colonel appeared, bade us welcome, and informed us that the next day was monthly muster, to which we should consider ourselves invited, and advised us to be present in the field at nine o'clock sharp. We spoke of a camera, asked permission to use this weapon on the range, were assured officers and men, horses and mules would be "dee-lighted." On this muster day at Schofield Barracks the Fifth cavalry was complete, the entire regiment now stationed together for the first time since the Civil war. The Fifth made a fine showing as men and horses passed in review before the colonel, and we congratulated ourselves that we had front seats for the play. It was very picturesque—the wide plains bounded on either side by mountains, the cavalrymen capering hither and yon, their sabers and rifles gleaming, and, for contrast, joyous skylarks singing overhead. The ladies JOHNSON ACADEMY MONTHLY HK A TENT AT SCHOFIELD BARRACKS PICTURESQUE AGAINST THE MOUNTAINS of the post and we visitors were allowed close to the reviewing stand, had an excellent view of the horsemen as they went by first at a walk, next at a trot, then at a gallop. The mounted band, the color bearers, the officers, the soldier boys, the picture as a whole was well worth seeing. There was a stirring suggestion of the pomp and circumstance of war, and we liked it—as a play, were glad it was only the pomp and circumstance of practice. The music was inspiring, the dipping of the colors and the officers uncovering thereto, aroused emotion in us that out here so far from "the states" Uncle Sam was looking after his citizens, promising them protection. But we hoped that the soldiers would never have to face grim reality at Lellehua, that those skylarks there would never be disturbed by the crack of rifles used on men as targets. It was a hot morning, but "muster" went on to the last detail. After the review horses and men were inspected in companies, or whatever they call the groups, were examined critically fore and aft, stood and sat like statues while they went through the ordeal. It was a fine opportunity to get pictures, and we were grateful indeed when the colonel sent over his orderly to tell us we might go along the line and snap what we liked during inspection. There were a number of groups that presented themselves as having good picture qualities, and we were especially pleased when the son of famous Phil Sheridan stood forth in range of the camera, the leutenant and his horse both such desirable models. "Mr. Sheridan"—as the "Service" people say—is among the best of the polo players that the Fifth cavalry send out against the island men. At Schofield Barracks they have a splendid polo field, one of the finest in the world, of regulation length. Polo is encouraged in the army, for the sake of the horsemanship and the strengthening of qualities specially desirable in the soldier. The polo matches, sometimes played out at Lellehua, but oftener in the field at Moanaalua, just a few miles from Honolulu, are largely attended, arouse much enthusiasm. The island players, riders from infancy, as a rule prove too much for the cavalrymen, though the latter have done excellent work the present season and shown excellent ponies. At the polo matches the army is out in full force. There are autos and carriages filled with ladies from the various posts, officers walking about visiting auto and carriage. Enthusiasm runs high; the army people are one in their partisanship; the island people divided, as their interests lie; if any of their kin are among those hard-working fellows on horseback it would be against nature for them not to be "agin" the army; but if they are free from personal bent, then a brilliant play by an officer will get its just applause. All races go to the games, the Oriental now taking a keen interest in sports; one sees his impassive face lighted up by alert attention, his eastern calm giving place to expressive approval. At the baseball games there is a no more interested spectator than the smooth-shaven, smooth faced Chinese man of affairs—unless it be the smooth-complexioned, mustached Japanese of a like class. The tennis courts are popular at Schofield Barracks, stand at the end of the street nominated Officers' Row, and before the little club house. The barracks form a little world of their own, a pleasant seeming little world of polo and tennis and teas and balls and riding parties, and mountain trips. Trails have been cut here and there in the mountains, peaks not so very long inaccessible are now more or less easily conquered. There are mountain excursions where the isles are included as well as [Image of a horse] trips involving army practice and discipline. The Walanae range, with its numerous deep gulches, forested ridges and cloud-capped peaks, offers a good field to climber and explorer, and since the coming of the men in khaki the mountains have been opened up, as it were. Surveys have been made, trails cut, passes assailed, every here and there on the island one comes upon little encampments of soldiers out on their quest of learning the lay of the land, studying and making conditions. The alert and omnipresent Japs, it is said, know the island better than any folk here save a few of the old natives; the Jap sampan men are thoroughly acquainted with the coast, the charcoal burners with remote mountain fast-nesses, the agricultural laborers with both low- land and mountain valley. But the men in khaki know a thing or two themselves, and are quietly, steadily adding to their knowledge. A company of engineers is stationed here and is now at work making a military map of the island of Oahn. Strolling along Officers' Row at Schofield Barracks, we stopped at one of the white-washed "bungalos"—as a sojer boy called it—for a call on an officer's wife and a chat about army life from the woman's point of view. Our hostess surely spoke from the standpoint of one that knew; three generations of her family having served in the army or navy—her mother in a period of twenty-five years lived in thirty-one different stations. This being picked up and moved from place to place, little moves of three or four thousand miles or so—has its advantage side, tends to the increase of adaptability and breadth; and it is very admirable the philosophic way the ladies of the army accept the temporary shelters provided for them, take the little shacks and make them so attractive and homey. About the verandas along the Row vines were climbing and blossoming; in the tiny lawns exotic looking young trees were growing and various ornamental shrubs, tubs of ferns bordered the paths, in the little gardens tall cosmos was blooming, very effective against the white-washed walls. And the interiors were charming, suggested travel and love of books. The places were so attractive that inconveniences were not thought of by us till brought to light by our hostess, who laughingly told of once being kept two hours in the bathroom when an early caller had possession of the all-too-public sitting room. And laughingly told of conditions as they were a year back, when the present "bungalooos" were but sheds with tent wings. And the back of the house, if we cared to investigate, was still just a tent; and sure enough we found the Jap servants out there ironing under canvas and getting ready the luncheon with such conveniences as could be set up in a canvas shelter. But all appeared snug and sufficient and homey. As we sat on the little veranda and supped cooling drinks—very refreshing after the hot, unshaded field—we had a talk with the host, come in weary and warm from the morning's work. The captain spoke highly of the men in the regiment, and regretfully of the way people generally regard the soldier; declared it was unjust, unmerited, declared their men were a good set. The captain spoke of the dearth of decent amusements and decent society for the soldiers, said many of them craved better things than were available, the majority of them were by no manner of means roysterers and wasters; he decried the black eye given them generally. Only a very few of the enlisted men had their families with them at Schofield Barracks; at the time of our visit there was a small number of khaki shelters serving as homes for soldier's wife and children; the tents pitched near the bottom of the gulch some distance beyond the polo field. Down in this gulch a number of Hawaiians dwelt, cultivating taro, raising payas and bananas, with large leisure for visits and music and lying at ease under the leafy, low-drooping branches that almost hid their little dwellings. We caught a glimpse of a Hawaiian girl in a wine-red hololau (native dress) with two or three khaki-clad figures near by. Soldier boys studying native life perhaps. In the late afternoon we drove to the Gap in the Walanne mountains and halted there in the glory of the sunset, looked down on the plain with the barracks standing out so clearly in their isolation, on the broad ranch land beyond; farther away the sugar-cane and pineapple fields, then upon the Koolan range, at this hour flushed and gilded into wonderful beauty. The place was marvelously quiet; it did not seem possible that a cavalry camp was dwelling there on Lellehua ranch. Lellehua seemed little disturbed by the presence of men in khaki; doubtless even the ghosts that hovered about the old helan (ancient temple) at the foot of Mount Kala, found themselves molested to no great extent. Probably at nightfall they still set out to wander through the gulches and over the ranch on those unwelcome visits to their kindred. As we drove home in the quick-falling darkness we wondered if ever the ghosts met with challenge from the scattered sentries keeping guard at Schofeld Barracks. Patrons of the Lyceum theatre have a rare treat in store for them in the amusement line this week when North Bros. Stock Co. present George M.

WILD SCRAMBLE OF WOMEN London Paper Tells of Scene in Cloakroom After the Racing at Ascot. At the end of the racing at Ascot yesterday it seems that the cloakroom arrangements miscarried, and when the women went to get their wraps they were not ready to hand. A wild report circulated that the thief who stole the gold cup four years ago had been busy in the cloakroom and all the women rushed to find for themselves if the dreadful thing were true. There has not been such an outburst of feminine excitement since the last suffragist raid on the house of commons, and the attendants grew so alarmed and so afraid of the cloakroom being stormed by the angry owners of the precious wraps that they sent for the police. When the constables came several ladies fed ignominiously without their things. The police ultimately straightened out the tangle and the honor of Ascot was saved. The cause of the commotion is said to have been the action of some women who left early and put everything in confusion in the search for their cloaks.—London Express. Marie Corelli Conservative.

List to Marie: "Remarkable, too, is the fact that this scene of unexamined magnificence has taken place at a time when Socialism is supposed to be rampant, with a radical chancellor of the exchequer is breathing fire and fury against the lords and the aristocracy generally, and when all that suggests power, place, supremacy, is condemned as something akin to political crime and equality for all men is the cry. . . . All things will prosper under King George's wise and careful supremacy, and the loyalty of the people is aright, which will bring them prosperity. The grandeur and dignity of King George and Queen Mary could never be surpassed in any period of history. It is replete with meaning. It carries special significance.

It is certain that no one who has red blood in their veins and a conscience will say that they are satisfied with the conditions in this country, of wich we form no small part, and for wich we have given our lives on the field of battle. There are those who contend that the white people of the South know best how to deal with the Negro, and that they are among his friend.If to be hung to a convenient limb and tobe burned at the stake are acts of friendship, then may God delivery us from our friends.

The five-year-old daughter of a Brooklyn man has had such a large experience of dolls that she feels her self to be something of a connoisseur in children, relates Lippincott's. Recently there came a real baby into the nouse. When it was put in her arms the five-year-old surveyed it with critical eye. "Isn't it a nice baby?" asked the nurse. "Yes, it's nice," answered the youngster hesitatingly. "It's nice, but it head's loose." BOY ROSE TO THE SITUATION. Quick Wit and Intelligence Displayed by Youngster. His parents are convinced that Ciarence will be a great man; the only doubt is whether it will be as a statesman or scientist. He is only four years old, and their confidence is based largely on one incident. The boy never told of it, and it would have been lost to history if a neighbor had not been a chance. Clarence lives in suburbs, and has a cat and kittens. One day he went into the yard next door with one of the little ones to play. There was a big pile of brushwood here, and he shoved his pet into a hole in this. She crawled so far back that all his efforts to get her out were vasa. Had he been a man he would have pulled the pile of brush apart, but lacking strength for this he resorted to cunning. Running home, he soon returned with the mother cat. He shoved her into the hole after her offspring, and she soon came out with the little one between her teeth. Clarence bore them both home in triumph.

A conflict between tribesmen and a battalion of French troops was recently precipitated by the whistling of a lecomotive on a railway being constructed near Casablanca. "The giaouars are laughing at us," said a chleftain, when the construction engine gave a toot to warn the natives at work on the line to look out. The Arabs went wild, mounted their horses, and rode on the whistling enemy. They had to be calmed with the whistling of rifle balls. Antiquity of the Sausage. The sausage dates back to the year 697. It has been asserted that the Greeks in the days of Homer manufactured sausages, but this prehistoric mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The ancient so-called sausage was composed of the same materials which enter into the make-up of the boudin of the French market and the blood pudding of the French-Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloped in the stomachs of goats. Not until the tenth century did the sausage made of hashed pork become known. It was in or near the year 1500 that, thanks to the introduction into Germany of cinnamon and saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and Strasburg acquired a universal reputation. come known.

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 ralment, as compared with the darnfoolishness 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 dandies of that day would carefully polish these burning, bleasing, 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 limcrakes 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 execsior 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-rolled 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 botherome 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 bethink 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 as 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 flirt 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 cowallowin' of P!!"—Answer PRUNKS LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE. Finns Devote Summer Months to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. 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 Finns. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and plashing they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good hatured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world.

"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 blowing." HIGH IN CIVILIZATION'S SCALE. Unknown Peoples of America Who Have Perished Utterly. Between the region occupied of old by the Aztecs and the realm far to the south over which the Incas ruled lies an immense stretch of territory, a thousand miles long and 800 wide, where the remains of unknown and wonderful civilizations are being discovered, says a writer in Van Norden's Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica. In one section along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unknown civilizations were recently brought to light by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and a vast collection of relics has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great American museum, which will represent the history of ancient peoples who attained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose very existence has been hitherto lost in unduity. The famed marble chairs of Rome but its zenith were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown civilizations. No pottery of any other ancient race was more delicately patterned than that found in vast quantition, as numerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples dwelt. Their cloth was of truly marvelous weave; in beauty of decadence of color and fineness of texture no fabric of to-day successes in FORD'S HAIR POMADE MAKES HARSH, KINNY OR CURLY HAIR GLOSSY, SOFTER AND MORE PLABLE, EASY TO GOMB AND PUT UP IN ANY STYLE THE LENGTH WILL PERMIT UREXCELLED FORD'S HAIR POMADE MAKES HARSH, KINNY OR CURY HAIR GLOSSY, SOFTER AND MORE PLABLE, EASY TO GOMB AND PUT UP IN ANY STYLE THE LENGTH WILL PERMIT, UNEXCEELED FOR PREVENTING HAIR FROM FALLING OUT DURDROUF AND ICHING OF SCALE BEWARE OF IMITATIONS, GET THE GENUINE.

Main St Wichita, Kan One thing certain is that the Emmanuel movement cannot stop the pervading disposition of man to put up an argument. A new kind of flea has been discovered in California. It has six teeth and is a high jumper. Maybe it is designed to pounce on airships. An exchange tells us that the kaiser's favorite maxim is "Forget it." All right. Von Buelow isn't going to be the one to jog his memory. Senator Elkins has long had an eye so the best investments. Since the country thought that he was figuring on a duke, he has bought a bank. Whiting's chief of police was held up and robbed of his star, revolver, money and billy. We hope the high waymen left him with at least a clew. A Colorado man gave his grandson, aged one month, $1,000,000 as a Christmas present. Think of the toys that youngster can buy with all that money. The telephone girls at Rockford, Ill., struck because they were not permitted to talk. As well tell the birds not to sing and the flowers not to throw off their fragrance. A Pittsburg artist succeeded in getting a flashlight photograph of a member of the city council in the act of receiving a bribe. It may properly be referred to as a moving picture. Specializing in farming will be carried too far if scientific farmers produce cobless corn. Several thousand acres then would have to be devoted to raising a variety that grew only cob pipes. Both Paris and London are discussing the commercial future of the flying machine. It is a safe prophecy that the sporting fraternity will get into aeroplaning some time in advance of commerce. Castro of Venezuela, who 'revoluted" himself into the presidency and has held on like grim death ever since, must have hearty contempt for one who is so "easy" as the late President Alexis of Hayti. A New York judge has decided that a man whose salary is not more than six dollars a week need not pay alimony. This may cause some men to quit exaggerating when they refer to the salaries they draw. Since this country set up in business as an independent nation its gold mines have yielded more than three billion dollars. It takes the American hen about six years to furnish eggs and chickens worth that much. Going barefoot seems to be growing less popular in the West Indies than it used to be. During the last fiscal year the United States exported more than two and a half million pairs of shoes to these islands, one-third as many as the exports to the whole world. Early in the new year another battleship will be added to the navy. It will be called the Delaware in honor of Maryland's little neighbor on the east. No doubt it will be a fine ship, and will add more strength to that the strongest naval fighting force in the whole world.

Radford, No. 118 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, M1, and only ‘enclose two-cent stamp for reply. Money may be saved in butlding by selecting a design that is plain and compact. American houses usually contain six, seven or eight rooms. ‘These easily may be built all on one floor, in what is usually termed a cot- tage or a bungalow; but it is cheaper in building, heating and unkeep to make the house two stories high, and arrange one set of rooms below and the other on the second floor. A smaller excavation, less stone for cel- lar walls and supporting walls, less supporting timber, and a smaller roof, answer for a two-story house. The ‘cost of finishing each room, providing windows, etc., is about the same; the flooring is about the same. The two- story house has a little more material in the up-and-down work, and less in the lengthwise measurement. In selecting a house plan, a great deal depends on the size of the lot, and on the location and outlook. Peo- ple not only want houses neat and comfortable, but they want them to look well, to fit the ground, and to be in keeping with other houses in the neighborhood. It requires very nice judgment to proportion a house prop- erly to the lot, to the pocketbook, and to the needs of the family. A great deal of subsequent comfort and hap- piness depends on the manner in which it is done. There are some very nice features about the house design shown in the accompanying cuts, In the first place, the design is that of a small house, 23 feet wide by 23 feet long, exclusive of porches; and it can be built for about $1,500, under favorable circum- stances. Such a price for a comfort- able seven-room house Is attractive to commence with; then we have a com- fortable, good-looking porch eight feet wide, reaching clear across the front, with a front entrance to the house at one end of the porch, leaving the other end free for chairs. We have a neat little front hall with room for a hat- rack at the side of the door entering the dining room. There is a china closet off the dining room, with a lit- tle window to light it. This 1s a great convenience, one that any housekeep- er would appreciate. Besides this, the pantry Is very convenlently arranged, and the pantry is a good size and shape; it also has a small window for ght and ventilation.

First Floor Plan, ranged like this may be kept cold in the winter, to save several dollars’ worth of ice each year. ‘The kitchen is very conveniently ar- ranged; it is not large, but ts in keeping with the size of the house. There is an advantage in a small Hitchen, in that {t saves steps. A small kitchen may be made much more convenfent than a large on¢ when there are only one or tw women to work in it at the same time. ‘The kitchen should have suitable furniture. I thought at one time that a kitchen should be fitted with plenty of built-in cupboards, but in recent years the manufacture of special kitchen furniture has rather inter fered with my cupboard preferences. A kitchen cabinet may be arranged so conveniently that it has advantages over anything of the kind a carpenter can build as part of the house. A cabinet rightly made, with good, tight bottom, back and sides, is dust-proof and it fs mouse-proof—two things that are hard to secure in a built-in cup- board. A carpenter may be ever so careful with his work; but materials, unless thoroughly kiln-dried, are sure to shrink in time, and leave openings big enough to let in a whole lot of ‘103 | aE Ree" Fyzz0 Room i} pS oie 3:0" ; f >} iQ} i mares IP Qyace snot Hepos] EB it | | ED TOOM 7A z bes ss | Second Floor Plan. dust, and the mice are certain to find a way into such cupboards. More- over, a portable kitchen cabinet can easily be cleaned inside, and it can be moved out from the wall at inter- vals, and the space thoroughly cleaned under it and behind it. A kitchen should be the cleanest place in the house. Health depends to a great extent on the kitchen. A kitchen floor is another very im- portant feature. In this house it 1s made of hardwood laid in narrow strips, with raw linseed ofl in the joints. The bathroom floor is made in the same way, and lafd at the same time. Floors put in like this will last for many years, and they are always sat{sfactory. Upstairs we have’ three bedrooms, with a clothes closet for each one, and an extra closet in the hallway: for Mnen. Every housekeeper needs a Mnen closet upstairs for bedding, and one downstairs for table linen and towels. Few small houses and not very large houses have the conven- fences in this respect that should be deemed necessary. Some folks don't have much linen, and they need very little cupboard room to keep it in; but that is because they don’t understand the real satisfaction that comes from the possession of nice table and house Mnen. Linen is something a woman should be continually buying, not in large expensive lots, but when opportunity offers to get a tablecloth or two ot three really good towels at a bargain, that Is the time to buy, because these articles are always needed, and t costs less to have a supply on hand than to buy in emergency. Unfortu nately, too many American women have fallen into the habit of providing in a sort of hand-to-mouth way. They depend on wash day to supply cleat linen for the week, instead of having a variety to draw from. It costs nc more in the end to have plenty thar to feel that you are short all the time; in fact, it costs less, because you can buy to better advantage, anc the wear and tear is less when you have a liberal supply.

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Flor ida sought his ese oe night on a sleeping car on the way south from Washington. Pulling back the cur- tains of a lower nine, he saw that his bed was already occupied. “Hi, there!” called the senator, shaking the stranger by the shoulder. The sleeper awoke and protested angrily. “My name's Fletcher,” explained the statesman, “and this 1s my berth.” “You've got nothing on me,” an- swered the other. “My name's Fletch- er, and this 1s my perth.” “My full name is Duncan U. Fletch- er,” the senator elaborated. “So’s mine,” agreed the intruder. “Ah, I see,” said the senator, po- litely. “There must have been a mis- take in reserving the same berth for two men of the same name. “I'll go into the next sleeping car.” The stranger, by this time, was fully awake, and proceeded to apologize, and to offer to give up the berth. This the senator would not do, but went into the car ahead, and found a place to sleep. An hour later the train was wreck- ed. The car in which the stranger occupied the lower nine fell through a trestle, and that Fletcher was killed. The senator’s car was not damaged at all—Popular Magazine.

C. 468, the seventh year of Artaxerxes. Ezra leaves Babylon with his company on the 1st day of the 1st month, March; and reaches Jerusalem on the 1st day of the 5th month, July. The convocation was on the 20th day of the 9th month (in Nov.-Dec.). His reforms were made during the winter, Dec. 458, to March. 457. The nearly sixty years between the sixth and seventh chapters of Ezra, of which there is almost no direct record, could scarcely be called 'the blank annals of well-being.' Without these happy periods of dullness our lives would be hell, and our hearts eternally bubbling and boiling in a huge pot made hot with thorns. But these were years of slow progress, of dullness, and neglect, like a garden wherein the heavenly plants, while still growing, were overrun with weeds, and the vines and olive trees, untrimmed and neglected, bore but small and scanty fruit. The temple had been built, but the opposition had been so great that the walls had not been restored and the rubbish still arose in long-stretching mounds. The visions of glory had faded. They had expected a vast influx of their brethren, from Babylon and other lands, but had been to a great extent disappointed. Ezra, no doubt knowing the condition of things in Jerusalem, had not only prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it, but he planned, to go up to Jerusalem and teach in Israel statutes and judgments. Moved by religious zeal, and also, it would seem, with the statesmanlike view of making Jerusalem once more the real spiritual metropolis of Judalm, Ezra conceived the idea of infusing new life and new ideals into the Judean community by leading a fresh band of zealously religious exiles back to Judea on a mission of reform. They came to Jerusalem, after a journey of four months, arriving there the first day of the fifth month, or about the middle of July. The distance in a direct line was about 500 miles, but the road followed by Ezra's caravan made a long detour to avoid the desert and could hardly have been less than 800 miles. Ezra brought $2,000,000 for the repair of the temple, and for all that was necessary to put the outward forms of worship in perfect condition. He infused the community with his own devoted and consecrated spiritual life and fervor. He brought with him the Book of the Law and the Prophets, with its strict morality, and made it known to the people. In contrast with this holy law the conduct of the people in adopting "the abominations" of the heathen appeared in all its glaring wickedness. Then Ezra entered upon his great reform. Some of the leaders pointed out to Ezra that the people, even the princes and rulers, were intermarrying with the idolaters, and there was danger that the religion of Israel would be destroyed, that all the sins which caused the exile would be repeated, and all that the exile had done as a discipline would be lost. Ezra first by himself was astounded and stunned by the report, and showed all the signs of deepest sorrow and humiliation. Then there was a meeting together with him of "every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away." They sat in bitter astonishment till the time of evening prayer. Then they bowed themselves before the Lord, and wept and prayed and confessed and entreated. Then followed a public meeting, a great congregation of men and women and children. There came the great moral reform. There was a proclamation throughout all Judah and Jerusalem, that all should gather themselves unto Jerusalem, upon pain of having their property confiscated and themselves excommunicated from the brotherhood of Israel. In a great rain they confessed, repented and reformed. Those who are bribing and taking bribes—trying to get rich by graft and dishonesty, forging, cheating banks, committing all kinds of crime, although the sinners are rich, and officeholders—are now working in jails separated from their wives and children, and are learning honest trades. It is sad, indeed, but there is no other way of saving the nation. The suffering involved by Ezra's course was not necessarily so great as it would seem, not so great as imprisonment of a family man causes today. The man could still support the discarded wife and children, and do all possible for her comfort. But he must not join in her idolatry, or be subject to a bad family atmosphere. The suffering caused by this course was the fruit, not of Ezra's work, but of the wrong doing. The physician is not to blame for the bitterness of his medicine nor the surgeon for amputating the limb. Ahab laid all his sufferings to Elijah, saying: "Art thou he that troubleth Israel?" And he answered, "I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord." This course is not narrow, it is simply wise statesmanship for the preservation of our country. There are things that must be shut out. Because of those ugly, grizzly, gray hairs.

"I took several different medicines, giving each a fair trial, but grew worse until I could have hardly taste or smell. I was about to give up in despair, but concluded to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. After taking three bottles of this medicine I was cured, and have not had any return of the disease." Hood's Sarsaparilla effects radical and permanent cures of catarrh.

Main St. Co Phone Market 1537 BAD NOTES EASILY DETECTED Almost Impossible to Impose Upon Handlers of Money. Incidentally it is interesting to note that the skill which enables one to detect a counterfeit comes not from study of counterfeits, but from a touch and unconscious familiarity with the genuine. If a man were pointed out to you and you were told that some day another who much resembled him would try to impose upon you, you would be pretty apt to fix his features in your mind; you would not spend any time looking at other people who looked something like him, would you? And the moment the impostor appeared you would note that in this, that or the other particular he failed to meet the details of the other man's face and figure. Just so it is in the detection of counterfeits. A skillful teller in a bank, counting money rapidly, will involuntarily throw out a note which in the slightest degree departs from the well-known pattern which is so strongly impressed on his mental vision. That involuntary act will nearly always prove to have been justified, for the bill in 19 cases out of 20 will prove to be a counterfeit. It is because of this fact that when a request is received from some one to loan him a collection of counterfeits for the instruction of his cashiers, he is advised to have the young men study the genuine carefully, and then will be no trouble in detecting the baites—National Magazine. REMARKABLE IN THE DOG LINE Proud Owners of Pets, Listen to This from Flatbush, N. Y. Zip, a son of Bluff, the big bull tterer, is the most respected dog in Flatbush, N. Y., says a correspondent. He requires every other dog within 40 blocks to walk a chalk line and bow to him as he passes by. He can lick everything on four feet up to twice his size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the Pump. His master attributes Zip's prowess to his fondness for the pipe. Like Old King Cole: He calls for his pipe, He calls for his glass, He calls for his fiddlers three. "That is the most remarkable dog in the world," says his master. "He takes my pipe out of my mouth and smokes it, standing on his hind feet. See! The stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on his fours and chase all over the house to create a draught. When the fire is well started again he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipe. Strong? He ought to be named Samson. Why, we have a piano that weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with a rope and he will pull it all over the room." Since supporting race enterprises is right, men are coming to the doctrine with their mouths forgeting of the fact that talk is cheap. A Knowing Dog. "Now," said the narrator, "I've got a dog here I would not take $100 for. You can believe me or not, but what I am going to tell you is the gospel truth. In the early part of last spring I lost about a good sheep, very valuable sheep, until one day I was looking across from my house to the edge of the range opposite about two miles away. I noticed some sheep. I got my telescope, and assured myself that they were mine. I placed the telescope in a suitable position and made Bob, our best colleague, I brought it. After about a minute the dog wagged his tail and made off. In less than two hours he brought the sheep home safe and sound." Ratsi A captain on an ocean liner tells the following story: Coming from the old country was a very nervous old lady who complained that she was sure there was a rat in her stateroom. "Keep it there, madam," said the captain. "But do you like rats?" asked she. "I've got a nest in my cabin," reported the brusque seaman, "and I never disturb them. When they leave the ship I do." "Why, you must be superstitious," urged the dame. "No, ma'am," wound up the captain. "I'm not, but the rats are." Send Your News In Early This Week. BRITISH SURGEON EXPLAINS ETH QUETTE FOR OCCASION. If King of Beasts Falls to Realize He Is de Trop Tourist Should Walk Avray With Becoming Dignity. The etiquette to be observed when a peacefully inclined tourist or ex- plorer meets a lion in the jungle is described by Sir Frederick Treves, the distinguished British surgeon, in this book, "Uganda for a Holiday," just published in England. "The tourist coming to British East Africa," he says, "is sure to inquire as to the line of conduct that should be observed when a lion is encountered by the way. In answer to such inquiry I was told that the etiquette suitable for the occasion was the following: If the lion when met with is walking in the opposite direction to the tourist the animal should be allowed to continue his walk without comment. If, however, the lion stops and stares at the tourist it is proper that the tourist should 'Shish' the animal away, as he would an obtrusive goose on a village green. Should the lion be unmoved by this expression of annoyance the tourist is advised to throw lumps of earth at the obtuse creature. It, after this, the lion still fails to realize that he is de trop, the tourist is recommended to walk away from the spot with such dignity as the strained position demands." Sir Frederick Treves has several other things to say about the animals of the wild. "The rhinoceros is the embodiment of blind conservatism," he writes. "Its hide is impenetrable its vision is weak, while its intellect is weaker. It has, however, two marked qualities—combativeness and a sense of smell. It is aroused to its maximum energy by the presence of anything that is new. This object need not be a thing that is aggressive or inconvenient. Its offensiveness depends upon the fact that it is unfamiliar, and the more unfamiliar the object is the worse the rhinoceros acts. "When a rhinoceros smells a man he will charge him with maniacal violence, although the man may be merely sitting on a stool reading Milton. The massive beast will dash at him like a torpedo or a runaway locomotive simply because the smell of him is novel. Actuated by this insane hate of whatever savors of an innovation, the rhinoceros has charged an iron water tank on the outskirts of a camp and has crumpled it up as a blacksmith would an empty meat th. "A conservative rhinoceros with a senile dislike of anything new once charged a train on the Uganda railway, but with no more serious results than the tearing away of the footboard of a carriage. As regards the rhinoceros in this case, it appeared surprised that a thing composed, as it had imagined, of flesh and blood, could be so hard. It went off with an additional grievance and an increased swelling of the head." Tournament on Sea Horses. Rumor has often told us of sea horses, but with amused incredulity we have always waved the tales aside. Faith is, however, no longer called upon, for in the water of Huntington bay, on the north shore of Long Island, actual sea horses are daily capping in highly spectacular water sports, even in a quaint revival of the ancient tournament. The strange beasts have been brought to us from France and are ingeniously composed of a barrel, weighted on one side which is under water, and decorated with an expressive head and an aggressive tail. As soon as one mounts upon the rotund back of one of these beasts it shows its temper, for, although tame and mild enough when grazing among the waves by themselves, they are fiends incarnate as soon as one attempts to throw a leg over them. They kick and buck in a manner which would appall a Buffalo Bill himself. One of the daily features of the beach at Huntington is a tournament in which armed knights, each astride of a prancing sea horse, face each other for battle royal. The riders are equipped with long lances, well wadded at the end with "stuffing." With there the knights paddle their course to each other, and then with lances poised the battle begins. Qualification for Office The little trial I have had of public employment has been so much disgust to me; I feel at times temptations to ward ambition rising in my soul; but I obstinately oppose them. "But thou, Catullus, be thou firm to the last." I am seldom called to it, and as seldom offer myself uncalled; liberty and laziness, the qualities most predominant in me, are qualities diametrically contrary to that trade. We cannot well distinguish the faculties of men; to conclude from the discreet conduct of a private life, a capacity for the management of public affairs, is to conclude ill; a man may govern himself well, who cannot govern others so; and compose essays, who could not work effects; men there may be who can order a siege well, or would ill marshal a battle; who can speak well in private, who would ill harangue a people or a prince; nay, his peradventure rather a testimony in him, who can do the one, that he cannot do the other, than otherwise.
