Boards NOT MADE TO ORDER.
Nature Is a Good Artist, and II Is Best to
Let Them Grow Naturally.

"Most men," said the learned French
barber, according to the New York Sun,
Imagine that they can control the di-
rection in which their boards grow by
shaving. That is absurd. If you will
take a microscope and examine the face
of a baby a week old you will see that
the cheeks and chin are covered with
very fine soft hairs, invisible to the
naked eye. The direction in which
they turn viii never be changed. If
the child is a male those hairs will con-
man. If it is of the other sex, they
will make the down which the poets
praise. Frequently men come to NE
and express desire toahave the shape
of their boards altered by changing the
direction in which the hairs grow. To
all of these I say only:
'Messieurs, what you ask cannot be.
All the curling irons and razors in the
world are powerless against the decree
of nature. Moreover it would be fool
ish for you to make such a change even
though it were possib bic. Nature is a
good artist, and if her ideas are fol-
lowed the result is always good. A
little training here or there may be
beneficial, but the general plan of ma
ture should be followed and not OPP
posed. Be thankful, messieurs, that
you have boards and do not try to ruin
them So, too, l tell those with
straight boards who wish to make them
curly, and those with curly boards who
wish to have them straight. 1t is pos
sible to curl straight hair, and
also to straighten curly hair, but the
effect is temporary and more or less in

KANSAS LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Kansas City is pre-eminentlv the largest
live stock market III the world, with one
exception. How many Kansas papers In
speaking of the Kansas City market, in
any way, ever give their readers cause to
understand or even infer, 1t Is in Kansas,
instead of in some other state? Let Us
claim our own, especially when, as in this
case, it costs so little to do so. Don't for
get either when talking about these things
that the great packing interests, the sec
ond on earth, are il Kansas too. Keep it
before the people, and stand up for KAN
sas, Just as hard now as If there was "A po-
litical campaign in progress. City
Gazette.
The statement of fact in the foregoing
is substantially correct. yet it is grossly
misleading. While it is true that the
bulk of the live stock and packing bust
ness that has made Kansas City famous
is done on the Kansas side of the line, it
is also true that the profits and credit all
go TO the Missouri town, the entire
amount going to swell the volume of
commercial exchange there as shown In
the bank clearings, which otherwise
would be less than they are by fully one
third. The magnitude of Kansas live
stock crops and products entitle the state
to a market of her own, the full credit
and benefits Of which would enure to
her own people, and such a market Kan
sas will have when her people fully
arouse to the necessary action to secure it.

In the death Of Orange Judd, the ven
cradle journalist. the country loses one
of lis most eminent benefact0ls. Al
though the very reverse Of a self-seeker
after noior!ety, his name is a familiar
one IN every community throughout this
country, and the effects Of many of the
benstcent enterprises originated and put
into operation by him are felt in other
lands rs well. Orange Judd was q PHI
lanthropist IN the broadcast sense of that
term, because he devoted his marvellous
genius to the uplifting of the human
race and the general betterment OF man
kind rather than 10 his OWN self

afford to lose such men, because they are

The Democratic contingent of the late
fusion move are making all sorts of dire
threats of what they will do if they are
not recognized most literally in the dis
tribution of state patronage by the con-
trolling element. But the contenders do
not for a moment concede that the
Populist side of the combine shall have
any showing whatever in the parceling
out of the federal official plums in the
state. That's Democracy, though, to
dot.

its mothers know what part of the

town from obscurity and he has stood

Owing to the fact that March falls
On a Saturday, the members of the com
mittee managing the inaugural ball
are in quandary as how to prevent
prolonging the festivities into Sunday
morning. One Of them says that. if
necessary, the clock in the ballroom
will be stopped a few minutes before
midnight. 1t would thus appear the
methods of Joshua were decidedly crude.
In the modern variation of his feat the
performers stop the course of the sun
with scarcely any trouble at all.

President Harrison once remarked

President Harrison once remarked, in
speaking of the Democratic idea of tariff
reform, that it was not so much the
length of the step as the direction, that
made it Objectionable. This is brought
to mind by the decision of the state
board of railway commissioners in the
Hutchinson salt case. The board seem
to think that the liberal introduction of
Michigan salt into this state will have a
stimulating effect upon the Kansas salt
industry. That is the Democratic idea
to a dot. l. is the old story of the white
man, the Indian, the turkey and buzz
zard over again. If that policy is to
prevail Kansas will want to know pretty
soon where her share of the benefits of
protection comes in.

The Democratic harmonious are
blowing loud on the key of the confer
ence between Cleveland and Crisp, which
they declare Is proof of the sweet concord
TO which the party leaders are attuned;
but they skip the note that Cleveland
sent to the speaker inviting him to the
interview. That all sounds very well
but Cleveland's play on Murphy's sena-
torlal aspirations is almost sure to pro-
duce a rasping discord with Tammany.
Evidently some of the players are out of

Fourteen Peoples party papers have
died in Kansas since the election. The
only surprise in that connection IS that
there should have been about so many
started with Democratic prociivlties.
From this it would seem that the latter
party has a greater expectancy OF life
than the other, Notwithstanding the
general belief that fusion had killed the
Democratic party of Kansas.

An analysis Of the popular vote for
president last November shows that
Cleveland received little less than one
third in the northern states. 1t was the
solid south that elected him, which be-
ing the case it is but natural to presume
that the south will assume to dictate the
policy of the incoming administration,
Mr. Cleveland's much vaunted rlgidity

how APUZZLE Was SOLVED.

When you want certain article, you want
tho best make of that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear Of one puz.
zle that has been solved for the people OF
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition of 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
in competition. They were passed upon by q
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts. two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers OF France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize Of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as further
recognition Of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the com
pany, with the Cross of the Legion Of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor OF the No. 8 and No. 10 Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 8, for family use, and the No. 10,
for manufacturing uses. are the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want sewing ma
chine, If you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault
