OUGHT THEY TO Do 1T?
Leavenworth Firm Doesn't Want to
Publish Details of Their Business.

Some time ago Secretary of State
Bush instituted mandamus proceedings
in the supreme court to compel
the Broadway Manufacturing company
of LeavenwOrth to file a, sworn report
of assets and liabilities under the state
law requiring annual reports from cor
porations The company now offers to
surrender it's charter rather than make
the desired report, but Mr.. Bush states
that he has no authority to accept
surrender of charter. He says that the
only way that a charter can be surren-
dered by a corporation is for the Off
GERS to go into court of competent ju-
risdiction and file statement showing
all liabilities paid. Consequently the
rnandamus proceedings will be pushed,
and test made of the power of the Sec
rotary of state to compel a corporation
to report.
The officers of the Broadway company
state that it would be detrimental to
their business to make such a report as
asked for by Mr.. Bush

Hard Times Then and Now.

In these latter days people cry hard
times and eat three good square meals
day with pie on the side, and pap
thought white bread was high life in
his time and pie was out Of the ques-
ton. They cry hard times while their
children are sent to school well shod
and well clothed. and pap trudged
three miles through the snow TO school
when be was a boy, and never knew
what it was to own pair Of boots un-
til he was old enough to spark the
girls. They cry hard times while they
ride in buggies and carriages, and an
OK team and bob sled was a bonanza
to pap. They cry hard times while
they ride bicycles to town, and a bicy-
Gle in pap's time would have turned
grand dads hair gray and made pap
look for tall timber. They cry hard
times and use riding plough, the
binder and separator aud great snakes
pap used to plow around stumps with
a one-horse plough, bark his shins on
the sprouts, average losing one tOenail
a week on the stones, cradle his wheat
and thresh it on the barn floor with a
short stick tied onto long one. They
cry hard times while tosstiDg their
shins around the base burner, and in
pap's time he scooted over the Illinois
prairies with sack picking up buffalo
chips, and he's still cutting teeth. They
CRY hard times and all take day off
and attend the three-ringed aggrega-
ton Of worldwide wonders, buy each
kid red lemonade and blue balloon,
and pap when boy wouldn't have
known a balloon from band wagon.

With it in her hand she went back to
the boy.
Here, ny lad, she said. in coax

Hypnotism in Surgery.

?. A. Bernard, Of Des Moincs, Iowa.
sought to demonstrate to those pres-
ent at the San Francisco College Of
Suggestive Thers peutics that the ad-
mipistratiou Of an anesthe,ic for the
performance Of surgical operations IL
unnecessary.
He did this by throwing himself into
a self-induced state Of hypnosis, thus
producing anesthesia and submitting
to such surgical tests as removed all
doubts as to bis lack Of any feeling
while in that state.
Mr.. Bernard sat in chair and com
posed himself. 10 a short time he was
asleep. DR.. Mcmillan then took
needle and thread and sewed one OF
his ears to his cheek. The doctor next
sewed his upper lip TO bis nose, and
then pulled his tongue out and ran
large hatpin thrOughit. Those pres.
ent we're permitted to examine the test
closely.
After the pin and threads had been
removed, Mr. Bernard swoks. For a
few moments he appeared dazsd. but
was soon himself. A towel that he had
placed around his neck was saturated
with blood, but he said be felt no pain
or soreness in his face.

MY MOTHER.

Some one love comes back 10 me
With every gentle face | see;
Beneath each wave OF soft gray hair
| seem to see my mother there.
With every kindly glance and word
1t seems as if must have heard
Her speak. and felt her tender gaze
With all the love of olden days
And am moved to take her hand
Ard tell her, now | understand
How tired she grew beneath the strain
OF feeling every loved ones pain.
No further burdens could she bear;
The promise of that land so fair
Alone could tempt her from her child.
And now if could keep her here.
No sacrifice could be too dear,
No tempered winds for her too mild.
Then would smooth and kiss her face,
And by her side take my old place,
And sob my years and cares away.
The tears | have so long repressed
Would lose their ache upon her breast
think if | could feel her touch
Once more. it would not matter much
How sunny or how dark the day.
| love each mother that see,
That brings my own so near to me;
For though never more may frame
Upon my lips that hallowed name
To any who will draw me near
And answer me with warm caress-
As long as there are mothers here.
NJ child can be quite mOtherlesS.
