A BIG FAMILY.
The Orphans Home sends Fifteen Pupils
to the Public schools.

The Orphans Home Sends Fifteen Pupils
to the Public schools.
From one Topeka house fifteen chill
dren stsrt to school every morning.
Topeka mothers will learn with Won
der that two women get these fifteen
children ready for school besides look
ing after the wants of five little tots too
small to go to school,
These TWO women are Mrs. Thompson,
the nurse at the Orphans home, and her
daughter, who are in charge out there,
during the absence OF the matron, Miss
Wall, who is very i'll with typhoid fever.
The children all need new books and
new clothes to attend school, and some
donations have been sent in the past
week which have been much appre-
ciated. There are only two babies at
the home now.
There is also a little deaf and dumb
girl for whom the ladies are trying to Sc
cure admission to the asylum at Olathe.
Then there is another child that really
ought to be in the Soldiers Orphans
home, but she has been at the topeka
home for five years. on the plea that
there is not room for her in the lnstitu-

WHAT IS GREATNESS?
1t Does Not Consist Simply of Book
Learning.
One Must Learn to Think For
Himself in Order to be
Truely Great.

People often wonder how it is that
some people are more gifted than others.
Those who wonder at such things are in
plain words, fools Every body can't be
gifted alike, for if everyone could do
what other people do we could not get
along. In fact, it is a good thing we
don't all think and act alike. We often
hear people speak of great men, There
are very few such in the world compared
with the large number who are not
great. Prof. Samuels, now living in To-
pekas is recognized as being a great man
in his profession. 1t is claimed by the
press throughout the country that as an
oculist he has no equal With all his
great work he has plenty of enemies,
not because he has done harm, blu: for
tory simply repeats itself Great men
are often not appreciated till they are
dead During life they are constantly
abused by the envious.
Don't think for d moment because a
person has a book education, or a col
l%ge graduate, he is an educated man.
They are only like the parrot, repeating
what they have heard. They are their
own worst enemies. They would rather
suffer than expose their ignorance by
asking others TO assist them. And in do
ing this they cause others 10 suffer with
them by misre preservation.
But if people are peculiar we may
console ourselves with the thought
that we must have all kinds of people
Prof. Samuels can be consulted at his
rooms over the Hub Clothing store on
Kansas avenue. He treats all nervous
troubles through the eyes very scientific
ely No charge for consultation.
