The Age OF Chivalry.

One OF the most potent factors in the
marvellous development of the great west
has been the modern farm implement.
Probably no one concern has done more
to bring farm machinery 70 its present
perfection than the Keystone Implement
Co., whose advertisement appears under
the above title In another column. They
are 80 we'll known as to scarcely require
mention, for the merit Of their goods and
the square dealing of the firm have made
e'Keystone" q household word in Kansas
and the west. The Kansas City house is
under the management Of Mr.. J. NJ. Pat
terson, q gentleman Of wide experience
as an implement man. He is president
Of the Commercial Club and one Of the
enterprising and public-spirited men Of
Kansas City. These people carry every
thing In the line Of implements and ve-
hicles ever used on farm, and we sug-
gest that you get their catalogue before
purchasing anything in their line. Drop
them card with request for what you
want, mentioning The ADVOCATE, and
We can guarantee that you will receive
courteous treatment.

mo- DIsINTEGRATION HERE.

To the Editor Of The ADVOCATE.
Rural Alliance has just been visited by
Assistant State Lecturer Scott, and we
much regret the small audience in atten-
dance. Many who were desirous Of
hearing him we're kept away by the high
water, while quite a number Of those
present only reached the meeting by TAX
ing to boats.
We cannot say good words enough of
Mr.. Scott's little talk. To those of US
who are grounded in the faith, it was
like bread to the hungry, or cool waters
to thirsty soul. He fairly tore the old
coat off our soundest Republican MEM
ber; but the poor fellow brsvely pulled
it back on, though we all could see 1t
was fearfully demoralized, and a few
more such rounds will consign 1t to the
rag bag, and then no coat of that pattern
will ever fit him again. We are hoping
soon to see him in brand new coat, cut
by the Peoples pattern.
The good work Is going on In our
midst. We have constant accessions to
our Alliance and are keeping step to the
music.
Our community has suffered great loss
by the food; some have lost everything
in the way Of crops, and many more
nearly all. With no prospect of any
kind of work in the country to which
they can turn to earn enough to supply
the absolute necessities Of life, the out
look is very far from cheering. Their
"crystalized labor" of other years Is In
the hands of those who tolled not, while
the toiler has none OF 1t.
May the time soon come when the
lsborer shall receive his full reward, and
the command be enforced: "If any work
not, neither shall he eat"

TORTURE TO WIN A BKIDE.
The Cannibal Butocudos Lover Must Let
the Ants Eat His Arm.

The Canniba1 Butocudos Lover Must Let
the Ants Eat His Arm.
Philadelphia Press.l
On the lower Amazon dwell the cannibal
Butocudos, who distort their features with
the biggest ornaments of certain kind
known. In babyhood both men and women
have their lower lips and the lobes of their
ears pierced with holes, in which are thrust
pieces of wood. As they grow older these
wooden adornments are made bigger and
bigger until an adult ordinarily has ear
lobes that hang down to the shoulders, and
a lip that projects six inches or more beyond
the nose. One must suffer to be beautiful,
as the French say, and such is the inexora-
BILE fashion among those anthropophagi. In
that country young man who desires to
take wife must first submit himself to a
frightful ordeal He draws over each arm
up to the shoulder loose armlet woven of
palm leaves.
Then, under supervision by his elders, he
plunges both arms as far as he can into a
nest of fierce devouring ants. The insects
at once attack the intruder, of course, and,
according to the terms of the trial, he must
stand without moving for an hour, submit
ting with absolute stoicism to the bites of
the enraged creatures If he endures the
test, he is entitled to bride; otherwise he
must wait for year and then undergo it
again. There are still tribes descended from
the ancient Incas which bandage the heads
of their children so that they assume conf
cal form. Funnily enough, the brain does
not seem to suffer any injury from this treat
ment

blade of corn.
Rough and ready cultivation Of the soil
by the natives he to some extent permits,
but agriculture and the agriculturist he
holds alike in great contempt. He passes
his day doing absolutely nothing beyond
smoking and drinking coffee. He is per.
fectly uneducated. With the exception Of
the Bible, every word of which in its most
literal Interpretation be believes with fsnst-
ical credulity, he never opens q book; he
never even reads a newspaper. His simple
ignorance is unfathomable. And this, in.
sublime composure, he shares with his wife,
his sons and his daughters, being proud that
his children should grow up as ignorant, as
uncultiyated, as hopelessly unprogressive 40
himself. In the winter time he moves with
his herd of cattle into the better pastures
and milder climate of the low country veldt,
and lives as idly and uselessly in his wagon
40 he does in his farmhouse. The summer
sees him returning home, and so on year
after year.

II blush for my sex" said a woman
recently, ''every time 1 take a trip up or
down the river between New York and
Albany. Before the boat starts the desir-
able seats in the forward saloon of the upper
deck are appropriated, always by women,
and are rigidly kept until the home dock is
reached. As, of course, the number of such
seats is very small proportion of the thou
sand and more passengers which the boats
carry, it follows that very few persons get
any chance at them at all. 1t is all right to
take them for awhile, but to keep them for
nine hours is down right piggishness.
IT have seen women sit for the entire
trip in these great luxurious chairs, with
the river scenery spread out before them
through the glass oval OF the forward end
OF the saloon, and read continuously, while
other travellers to whom the panorama was
a novelty they have, perhaps, come far to
see, stretch and crane their necks for pass
ing glimpses.
zone of these greedy creatures was nicely
circumvented on the trip down last week.
She had read almost without looking up
since we had left Albany, but toward 1
o'clock she got hungry. She put down her
book and glanced about. People were
standing everywhere and she felt her seat
would not be safe to leave. She leaned
toward her next neighbor, another selfish
woman who had not STIRRED from the start.
"'Will you keep my seat for me please,
want to 90 to dinner?'
Certainly just pile your things in it and
I'll take care of it.
$50 she got up and put down shawl and
bag, book and bundle of grasses she was
burdened with, as final precaution, laying
her umbrella across the arms of the chair.
And with confident smile she went away.
"When she had fairly disappeared
woman, whose bearing showed intelligence
and breeding, came forward quietly from
position where she had long stood and be-
gan to take off the luggage which filed the
chair.
"That seat is taken said its guardian
reaching over quietly
"'You mean" corrected the usurper gently
but firmly, that it has been taken for four
hours by the owner of these things. Now
am going to take it for one hour, and then 1
am going to give it up to somebody who,
like myself, has been standing
"And she continued putting off the
things carefully, seating herself comfort
ably when she had finished.
''The guardian glared, but had not word
TO say, and everybody waited for the return
Of the chairs first occupant.
Presently she came, making her way de-
terminedly through the crowded cabin.
When she finally reached her former place,

believe that when this sleeve reaches its
highest asthetic development it will be
woven or knit for the arm as stockings are
for the legs. The best sleeve possible,
sewed up out of cloth, must be clumsy COM
pared to what woven sleeves would be.
This seems an odd idea, but is no more so
than that of woven stockings once was.
Stockings used to be made of cloth, and
perhaps might be to this day had not Queen
Elizabeth tried on a knit pair and found
them comfortable.
I want to call particular attention to the
TRUTH that in this working woman's sleeve
the highest ideal of beauty is reached with
the highest degree of usefulness. am the
more anxious about this point since reading
an article on dress in a late number of
women's Journal The writer is protesting
that it is the duty of business women to
adopt whatever designs in dress the
Woman's Convention shall decide upon by
vote, and she says; care we not aware that
1t is a mistake to make beauty the chief OBJ
Ject of dress?" as if beauty did not follow
the perfect adaptation of dress to use. And
again, ga lovely woman can adorn the
most absurd raiment." If this is the degree
OF misapprehension of the leaders of the re-
iorm dress party, the results of their ballot
Ing will be of little consequence.

smoothly by darts at the front, and closely
