THE French method of administering
castor oil to children is to pour it into
a pan over a moderate fire, break an
egg in it, and stir. When cooked,

SOME years ago it was considered a
mark of good breeding for a lady,
while using knife, fork or spoon, TO
extend the little finger. Time has
caused change, for it is considered
an evidence of extreme affectatton to
do it nowadays.
THE old-fashioned lace berthes now
in vogue are kind to the lacemakers,
for they require the best of lace. and
they are kind, too, to plump shoulders
and pretty necks, which look never SO
plump and SO pretty as when rising
from one of them.

The Wichita EAGLE remarks that Kan
sas towns were the first to feel the boom
and first to feel the squeeze. That OBJ
serving paper is right, and il might have
added that nature seems to have ordained
that after boom ana a squeeze the pa
tient has to become "a great deal
sicker before it can be any better" wheth
err it be death or more life.-Atchison
Champion.
just what the Champion means by its
conclusion isn't clear. If it refers to
Kansas experience along the line, all
right; it is but reiteration of what the
EAGLE said. But if it means to imply
that we are not past the convalescent
state, it is off, way of, sadly off.
Every statement concerning Kansas
material condition today shows her to be
in better shape than any other state,
the attempts of the calamity howlers to
represent it differently to the contrary

Justice from Washington. The situa-
ton is quite like that that occurred
down in Tennessee in Davy Crockett's
time. Davy was known as a dead-shot
with a rifle. Out hunting one day he
discovered coon-one of the real, sure
enough, four-legged sort-up in the top
of tall poplar tree. Bringing his gun
to his shoulder, he was in the act OF
shooting. when the coon called out:

a little time makes great changes in
Kansas. A little over year ago then
Secretary of State Higgins came in for
unmeasured abuse from Bernard Kelly,
DR.. Miller ct al, for publicly suggesting
that prohibition, being ''the accepted
law of the state" should have no place
in the Republican platform. For this
then alleged crime Secretary Higgins
was well nigh driven out of the Repub-
lican party. Now. strange to say, Rev.
Bernard Kelly, ''fiopped" to the position
occupied a year ago by Secretary Hig-
gins and is candidate for governor on
the Republican ticket next year on the
open declaration of ignoring prohibition
in the platform. This sounds absolutely
incredible, and the circumstance that
the statement is first made by the Tope-
ka Democrat, that don't like Brother
Kelly much, nohow, adds to the doubt
Still, stranger things have happened, it
must be allowed, right here in Kansas.

POoTPONEMENT.

The manifold ills of life are never
postponed on account of the weather.
Whatever the weather may be, the un-
expected happens. In our most joyous
pleasures and sports evil turks, and we
are sometimes suddenly crippled when
we are only conscious of our full health
and strength. Nothing is more annoy
ing and more serious than strain,
sprain o. ugly bruise. As there is no
postponement cf pain in such cases,
always persistent and severe, there
ought to be no postponement in procur-
ing the best cure for it, which is St.
Jacobs Oil is known to be. The cure is
magical.

January 11th-I am longing for the
summer when the southern breezes sigh.
when earth is like sea of green be-
meath an azure sky: I am weary with
the winter with its endless frost and snow,
with tempests raging loud and long.
while stormy winds do blow; I'm sick of
having icicles suspended from my nose, of
having frostbites on my cheeks and
chiiblains on my toes.
June 18th. Il am yearnining for the
winter and the northern tempest's roar,
for summer is a nuisance and moSqui-
toes are a bore; hate TO sit around and
groan for ice and bake, and sizzie in the

OF ills. its colo, cramps, mosquito bites,
and germs and doctors bills.
