Watch the suffragettes toar It down: Kanners who shoot at balloaiis'raay come day And a balloonist who will return the compliment. King Kdward is getting to be a veteran ruler, for he has enlored upon the ninth year of his reign. It costs money to Ulke n census, but the people must be counted, whether they are worth it or not. It will not bo necessary to enlarge the ocean just yet to make room for all the aeroplnu that fall In. New York is still sending Joy rider3 to prison. Just as if It wore tired of that form of alleged amusement A Virginia woman shot her husband because he insisted on playing a phonograph. This is a record case. A Philadelphia man who was going to commit suicide died of heart disease. He probablj was scared to death. On estate Is to pay the British governing r.t $.000.XM) as an inheritance tax That is one definition of easy tnoue Xotv '!. -landing the sutcess of the aerona r-, there are still nmuy people who i.fer to keep their feet on solid groun 1 Through dissensions and the lark of funds the movement In Now York to build a children's theater has been abandoned.

The deposed monarch of Persia de clines to quit his job until he Is paid his lack salary. He neglocted to take time by the forelock and lay in some thing for a rainy day. as did tho ox Sultan. China and Japan are glaring at each other again. Turkey decline to lot the powers run the Cretan affair, and the dove of peace is flying recklessly about look.rg for a safe perch until tho next international peace congress. The story from London that Con suela. Duchess of Manchester, saved tne Kings lire at a dinner on the royal .yacht by slapping him on tho back to prevent his choking, almost precisely parallols what happened to the German Kaiser a few months ago It Is not because they disapprove o their royal sovereigns, but because they almost superatltlously revere them, that the average persons among European subjects fear to slap a king on the back. That France regards 6afe submarine navigation an accomplished fact seems evident In the launching at Cherbourg of the largest submarine In t:i world a craft 229 feet 8 Inches long, eqtilppod with oil engines and driving twin screws. This large submarine boat Is expected to have a speed of 15 knots an hour on the surface and 10 knots when she is submorgod. and to have a radius action of 2.600 miles. Submarines of this kind will be of Itntmnse value for const defense, and Frarcr s venture will doubtloss signalize tnlargtfmont of the submarines in alj tho navlea of the world.

SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY. As a man grow Iwuner. because of ago, his wife lneoim fatter. A man evt-r knows" what la coining to him until it gets right on him. You can't wy anything complimentary to a woman that will surprise her .Most people Just drag along until it is time for them to die. A man with curly hair usually woara his hat on the bock part of his head. Some ieople imagine that as soon as they get married they must kits in public. Among lawyers It seems to be a mark of ignorance for one lawyer to agree with another. It U every man's opinion that a lot of good food is spoiled working It over into salads. We sometimes think we devote half 3ur time to hearing people tell how hard they work. Wo poor licople abuse the rich, but we suppose the rich abtiio us Just an vigorously as we abuse them. When a man confesses he plays poker occasionally, that is a sign he quit wjnner the night before. Marrying men are beginning to remark that many married women have too much Idle time on their hands. When you show some men a favor, instead of appreciating it they flatter themselves that they have worked you. It Is all right to be ready to meet and greet opportunity, but there is nothing to be gained In loafing around until It comes. Attending afternoon receptions six days In the week and being abused by husbands for neglect of home duties Is the pace that kills women. What has become of the old-fashioned woman who rolled her work apron In a bundle and went over fo a neighbor's to spend the day? Since mottoes are appropriate for all parts of thehouse, why wouldn't this be appropriate on the outside of tho door of fathers room; "Fasten your head on before going in " Some great artist should paint a picture of Maw with his conscience down and throttling it. "How true to life!" every woman would say looking at it. An Atchison man who whooped for a war with Japan until he hasn't enough voice left to whistle for a dog made his wife go to the door last night when some one knocked. Every man feels a little foolish after he has "given away to anger and blown off steam for a while. And he bas about the proper feeling about it. We have noticed that when a woman walks down street wearing a new fall hat and suit she never looks around; she lets the other woman do that. Don't say. when a man forgets to kiss his wife good-bye, that it is an outrage. The proper expression, according to the women's magazines, is that It is an "abandoned sacrament of love." We wish the women would get together and decide by vote where their waist line should be. It gets rather confusing to see it under the armpits In one woman and around the knees of the next one. Hard work never Injures any one: every nervous man w-lll tell you that be is a nervous wreck because of un

necessary annoyances from silly, idle and unfair people. When a married woman stops wnne writln- a letter to look In the diction ary it indicates that she it writing to hor husband's kin. She lets ner own version of spelling go when writing to her own. Atchison (Kan.) uiooe. A LESSON FOR SOMEBODY. How Mrs, Barrett Gave a Crushing Lesson to the Saleslady. The department stores of Franklin Brothers and Morris fc Baird stand side by side on the street, as well as In Mrs. Barrett's favor, but it happened to be Franklins towafd which, she was hurrying when, to her surprise and delight, she met her friend, Olivia Grant. , "Come with me while I match some lace." Mrs. Barrett proposed, "and then we'll go and have a cup of bouillon. Isn't it tiresome shopping? The clerks seem possessed not to let you find out what they have on the shelves." They were entering the large store as she spoke, and a minute later stood together at the lace counter. "We haven't anything; like that, ladv." the lies crl announced with a side glance at the half-yard remnant which Mrs. Barrett unfolded. "Haven't! You had an entire piece yesterday." "Beg pardon, lady. We haven't had that pattern." Mrs. Barrett bristled. "My dear, you must be more careful In your statements. I had this remnant charged and sent to me yesterday. Then I found that I should require more, and decided to return this and have mine eut from the niece, which J saw at this counter yesterday afternoon." "Did you bring back the check?" "No. If I could see the young woman who waited on me she would probably remember." "You're sure It was here you got It?" "Call the hoad of the departmcnL" was the majestic answer, and while alio waited Mrs. Barrett turned to her friend. "Simply have to fight to get anything!" she murmured. "Actually, I care more to teach that girl a lesson than to get my lace. The reason I'm so positive Is because 1 had articles sent from two other stores, and I was so afraid I'd get thorn confused that I went. Just before leaving the house, to look at the check and box that came with this. Ah!" as the head of the department stood before her. "This young woman tells me you have never had any lace like this "in stock," The manager examined the remnant. She's right, madam." he pronounced, respectfully. "You must have got it somewhere else." "Indeed!" Tdrs. Barrett spoke with cutting sarcasm. "Well! Probably I did got It somewhere else, hut It was delivered at my house In a Franklin Brothers' box. with a Franklin Brothecrs check Inside." "But. madam." came the gcntl uaswer. "this Is Morris 6 Balrd's." She had turned In one door too soon. Youth's Companion.

Circumstantial Evidence. Clyde was an Inquisitive youngster whose propensity for getting Into scrni was matched only to his small sister's fertility of resources for get ting out of them. As a tribute to her cleverness he usually shifted the blame of his misdemeanors,. One eumtng theie was much excitement ami fun among the older members of the family behind closed doors. Clyde, of course, was all curiosity. He battered the door, he huffed and puffed, and finally when the door was opened from inside the little man sprawled headlong Into the room. Before making any attempt to get up he gasped out tho usual "It wathn't uie; It wath Putthle." The Delineator.

Of course, you must have the chicken a fat yellow-legged pullet la best; dress carefully, dust the inside with salt, pepper and Hour, adding a thin slice of sweet bacon. Treat the outside in the same manner, putting a slice of bacon under each wing and across the breast; tie the wings down, wrap the whole fowl in a napkin make of Hour-sack muslin very tightly and tie well. Now dash It Into a bucket of cold water, wrap another towel around it. dipping It In the same manner. Wrap again In many thicknesses of newspaper, wetting thoroughly each time. Rake the coals of your camp lire aside (dusting over cold ashes to prevent live coals from touching the fowl), put the chicken In, covering first with a shower of cold ashes, then piling on hot embers and live coals, precisely as you have roasted eggs In the ashes when a child. Leave It undisturbed about an hour, then remove the coals carefully, take out the charred paper,' have your dish ready, and from the Inner napkin deftly turn upon it the most appetizing baked chicken that was ever seen, browned to the queen's taste, dripping with gravy, and of delicious flavor. Try this recipe when you go camping and you will find out that the cowboy Is possessed of culinary lore, which proves that he can handle domestic science with the same ease and grace that he does the lariat or the bronco.

"A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness. "I was telling a friend about It and she said, 'We drink nothing at meal time but Postum, and It Is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children.' "I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Poätum was the most healthful drink In the world for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to bo a fact. "My first trial was a failure. Tho cook boiled It four or five minutes and It tasted so flat that 1 was In despair but determined to give It one aiore trial. This time we followed the directions and boiled It fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was completely won by Its rich, delicious flavor. In a short time I noticed a decided Improvement In my condition and kept growing better and better month after month, until now I am perfectly heaSthy. and do my work in tho school room with case and pleasure.
