This story s a warning to mistressea
who are not quite sure of their own knowl
edge. Under such conditions n discreet
and unquestioning silence is the proper at
titude. The mistress who didn't observe
it Is the heroine OF this tale. She had lived
in a suburban town in a modest way, but
not long ago she came in for a fortune, and
she set up tremendous establishment and
anchored its success 10 a solemn faced b
Ter, with whose assistance she proceeded
give magnificent dinner 10 some friends
that came up from the city. With the
soup she missed the butter. James, -" she
said, there Is no butter" james took no
notice.
There is no butter, James," she said
again.
James gave no sign.
At last she said, rather perem ptorily,
flames, bring the butter"
Then the guests say the butler cross %

tinctly as be whispered, without change
In his face, 'Hit hisnt good form, mum"

The Awakening of the United states.

There are signs that our country is
awakening TO a sense Of its position among
the manufacturing nations as inst in activ-
ity, wealth and population. Il is begin
ming TO recognize that the / so, O00, 900
people outside its own boundaries repre-
sent vast potential commerce, and that
l,000.000,0O0 of them live in non-manufact-
uring countries. The nations OF Europe
have been struggling for this trade, fully
aware of the enormous value OF the COM
merce which has built up the wealth Of
England, but they have been handicapped
and unable to make a winning fight against
that powerful and astute adversary. There
are many evidences that we are about to
enter this field Of peaceful combat.
What are the elements OF strength that
make victory probablel The vividly ener-
getic character of the people, educated in
activity by a commerce unobstructed over
continental area, gives promise of mo-
mentum hard to resist. The American
celebrity of thought and tendency to prompt
action, the spontaneous ingenuity in adapt
ing means 10 ends in seiZing every new
discovery and celebrating il for the uses Of
man with bewildering swiftness, all make
for continuous and rapid progress. Tho
recent expansion of the uses OF electricity
is a striking example Of this. Potentially
every American is an inventor, always
for a better way.-Ulysses ID.

to be read three times day. 1t will be
equally as efficacious during August and
September, the period of real hot
weather predicted for this season by Pro-
fessor Foster, the weatherologist who is
responsible for all of the recent atmos-
pheric demonstrations. Cut it out and
paste in your hat:
with tingling ears and frostbitten
fingers the Esquimau in his northern
home is now chatting his stiffened hands
as he shivers before the chilling wind.
Towering pinnacles of ice, green and
blue, stand motionless where the frigid
waters of the open sea lap their crystal
sides. On land the desolate waste gives
way over enormous stretches of drifted
snow, and bleak, biting winds rush over
them, piercing the shivering natives to
the marrow. The entire land lies locked
in the embrace of the frost, and the
thickly bundled walrus hunter hastens
to shelter as the sharp blast whips across
the open county and bendmbs him with
its insufferable cold"

A QUESTIONABLE POLICY.

To farmers who are short of corn land
this season, especially in the southern por-
ton of the state we wonld suggest the
ACCESSIBILITY of at once listing their wheat
stubbIe to corn. This is no experiment.
Many farmers of Kansas have raised good
in fact their best crops in this way.
Even should it fail to make good corn, it
will make splendid feed for stock.-Kan-
sas Farmer
As the Farmer says, the suggestion is
not new idea, and in certain con-
tingencies might be resorted to with
propriety and profit. eFor instance, if
from any cause a spring or early sum-
mer crop should be destroyed or damaged
beyond repair, it would be right and
proper to put the land to corn or some
other crop that will yield some return in
the remainder of the season. But land
that has yielded one full crop, such as
the wheat crop this season, while 1t will
produce something it is at the expense of
the lands productiveness another season.
After producing one full crop, land
needs the balance Of the season to re-
To tax it beyond this is con-
trary to nature. The prompting to it,
simply the desire for grain, is of piece
with that that caused the fellow to kill
the goose that laid golden egg. Z

A Place Where Men Don't Object.

The observant and frugal eater will note
the difference in price between the same
articles served in the gentlemen's cafe and
the ladies' department of the same estab-
hshment, but he will never understand
why there should be such difference. Ar
ticles of food served in the ladies' restau-
rant are usually from 10 to % per cent.
higher in price than the same in the gem
tlemen's cafe
The reason may be that gentlemen will
not be imposed on when alone When ac-
companied by ladies they expect and take it
as matter Of course. Men naturally pre-
fer to dine where they can read, chat and
smoke without restraint, and it seems a
little odd that this fact is not seized upon
to compel them to pay the same price for
their food as they would have to pay for it
if in another room, accompanied by ladies.
The coffee that costs ten cents cup in the
cafe is twenty-five when associated with
skirts. Nor is this difference confined to
what you eat
a gentleman alone can get a room at q
hotel for from one to two dollars. II he is
accompanied by his wife. the same kind of
accommodations viii cost him three to five
dolla er day This exactly reverses the
Ordi methods of business life. The
stores and every class Of trade that appeal
towomen for their custom cuts prices down
to the last cent, and a split nickel is the
rule of every sale. Gentlemen who buy
their undertaking and fancy articles at
the women's stores can always get things
cheaper than at the mems furnishing stores.
Tho plain inference OF this incougruity
is that the increased price of food in the
ladies' restaurant is an imposition that is
tolerable and tolerated only through the
weakness of human nature.-New York

This Is Harper county's wheat yield for

county, where took a good look at the
crops. tits my Judgment that no county
in the state will make quite as good a
showing for its size and age IS will Har-
per this year. In 1878 she harvested her
first wheat-twenty acres-this year she
harvests 100, 900 acres Of wheat that will
yield twenty-five bushels per acre. The
farmers Of that county have given wheat
raising much attention of late years. and
the good farmers have never had fail
ure. There is this year no poor wheat
in the county; it is all either good or
very good. Those who understand the
business plow the ground Immediately
after cutting the wheat. giving the
ground from sixty 10 ninety DAYS to
settle. The best wheat as rule is on
late sowing and on last years corn
ground, and on ground not plowed since
the spring before. There has been more
prairie broken this season in that county
than in all the years before since So.
On every hand the remaining sod patches
are being turned over and the demand
for breaking teams and plows is far from
being supplied. This conversation oc-
Cured on the streets of Harper. A man

THE WAR AS WE SEE IT NOW.
The Importsnt Part That Steam and
Electricity Played in 1851.

It may safely be admitted that II the con-
litions Of warfare had been the same Ia
S6I as they were in 1915, or, in our juds.
nent, as late as 1850, the prediction of Ma.
2oleon and Palmerston Of the failure Of
the north would in all probability have
been fulfilled.
But the conditions were not the sane
Steam and electricity had in the interview
Ing time asserted their power, and had
rendered possible for q Mcclellan or
Grant what had been impossible for a Ma
poleon. Il was found that the capacity Of
4 territory, through which it was proposed
20 move an army, for the task Of support
ing that army might generally be disre-
garded. 1t was found perfectly feasible to
maintain large force for any length Of
time in regions where no subsistence OF
any sort or kind was furnished by the soil.
1t was found that water transportation
Of men and supplies was as certain snd
uniform, rs much 10 be relied upon, as
transportation by land; that the winds and
waves of the ocean and the strength and
direction of the flow of rivers could equally
be ignored when it was proposed 10 trans
port troops or subsistence or ammunition
to given spot.
by steam vessels, though not absolutely
perfect, was far more certain and con-
slant check on foreign intercourse than
could be effected by any employment Of
sailing vessels. BY the telegraph all avail
able resources could be utilized without
the loss of a moment, and all information
instantaneously communicated to or from
headquarters TO or from any part of the
theater of war.
In other words, machinery had in tho
progress of time become one OF the great
factors in military operations, and its in
PRODUCTION worked as marked revolution
IN the practice of commanders on land and
sea as its adoption for purposes OF manu-
facture or of INSTRUMENTATION had
worked in the world OF business and or
binary life. And, what was of the great
est importance TO the north, the advantages
OF this great change in matters OF warfare
were absolutely at the call OF the stronger
and more wealthy of the two combatsnts.

In the wrong once.

He was and perhaps still is book agent.
Just how long he had been in business is
not recorded. IN the course of his work he
found himself in down town building,
and was meeting with but indifferent sue
cess when he entered one Office without
paying any attention to the name on the
door.
He was not warmly received. However,
he ratified on as TO the merits Of the best
selling book that he was handling. It was
no use. He passed to the next book on his
list, but again with no success. Then he
went through his whole list of half dozen
works. The last was one that he had never
sold a copy of, and never expected to.
Nevertheless, when he mentioned it his
listeners seemed 70 get interested.
Lets see," he said; that's work on
ancient architecture, isn't it,"
That's it exactly" said the agent. "You
must have heard of It'll It's selling i'm
menselyf"
at is, hey?" said the prospective buyer
"Where is it selling?"
"Everywherel' explained the agent ear
nestly. BEST people all over are buying
it. Had to get out dozen editions TO sup
ply the trade here, and it's translated into
French and German on the other side
The author has been made both rich and
famous"
Hmm. You don't say sol"
"But do. It's true, every word of itf'
"Well, young man." said the prospective
customer, Pm really glad to hear it,
had heard Of this book before, but l didn't
know that every one was buying it and
that its author was rich and famous. Now,
young man, wrote that book myself, and
you are either one of the best, most thor
ough, open faced, back action liars 1 ever
met or I've been swindled, for the pub
fishers say they can't even get people TO
take that book for nothing"
But the agent had fed long before this
statement was finished. Perhaps he is still
fying.-New York Recorder.

Astronomers are watching with great
interest the commissions now visible
