SOUTHWEST KANSAS AND CUBA.

In pursuance of the recommendation
OF President Mckinley that the people
Of the states take some action for the
relief of the destitute and starving vic
Tins of the Cuban war, and the subse-
quent appeal of Secretary Sherman to
the governors of the respective states,
Governor Leedy haH named and COM
missioned H. G. Toler Of Wichita to act
as the agent and solicitor for the Sew
enth Congressional district of Kansas.
Mr.. Toler viii accept the trust and re-
ceive and receipt for all contributions
of money transmitted TO MIN. But 1t IS
mis- conviction that the inhabitants of
the hundred or more of live cities,
towns and villages of the Big Seventh
would just as lief contribute flour
which the railways would no doubt de-

Wichita. The -four doubtless would

has not yet completed his arrange

for the soliciting and forwarding Of
such contributions, but no doubt when
he shall have done so the response will
be hearty one.

TOPEKA'S NEW BRIDGE.

A new and very handsome bridge
now spans the Kaw at Topeka. 1t cost
$3.50, GOO and is not only a substantial
structure but an artistic creation. 1t
takes the place of a bridge which cost
originally 100000, which, in turn, re-
placed another that was washed out.

THE BIBLE FOR ALL.

The American Bible society has
issued an appeal to pastors and others
asking that special prayer service be
held and due emphasis laid upon the
Importance of extending the circulation
of the Word of God among all nations
during the closing years of the nine
teenth century, and especially in those
parts of the world where the Bible is
an unknown book. Last year the So
ciety spent s192, 1922 and circulated
767, 52S volumes. OF these, more than
half, 405, 900 volumes, We're distributed
in China: $4,000 in Japan: $1,000 in the
Levant; $4,000 in South America; $4,000
in Mexico and Central America; SO, 900
in Siam and Laos; 10000 in Russia;
20, 900 in France; 1900 in Spain and
Austria; 10000 in India, and smaller
numbers in Africa, Micronesia, Arabia
and Corea. In accomplishing this work
agents and correspondents to the num-
Der of $50 were employed on an average
of eight months in the year The aver
age cost to circulate each of the 767, 52S
Bibles was a fractional part more than
% cents per volume.

SPENDING MONEY.

1t is said that many millionaires have
left Chicago because it affords so few
opportunities comparatively, for spend
Ing money frivolously. New York, Bos-
ton, Washington, London and Paris
have caught the majority of these
would-be spendthrifts who made mill
Ions in that porkopolis Of the lakes.
The spreads occasionally given by
these wealthy people. while being cost
ly, seem strained affairs. The notable
dinner Howard Gould gave to Miss
CIemmons on Christmas night has been
fully reported in the newspapers. 1t
was a great achievement in the epicu-
rean line On the same night another
New Yorker gave a rare dinner to
seven friends The expense per plate
of the dinner was $175. The flowers
were suabe orchids from Dominica.
Pulque, the standard drink of Mexico,
was one of the beverages served. 1t
was drunk from tiny skin bottles in
Imitation of the skins in which pulque
Is carried in Mexico. Lime punches
were slipped through hollow swizzle
sticks in lieu of straws. A number of
FISHES, new TO most epicures, but pro-
nounced to be superb, were dished up
In original ways. For instance, there
was the head of fresh cod in jelly eaten
with a sauce made of green nutmegs
mi
ioins of chickens, stewed in marsalia,
and there were fruits from all parts of
the world.

RED TAPE METHODS.

Tt may be impossible for officials TO
get away from red tape, or for the gov
eminent ever to transact business on
business principles, but the cost Of red
tape methods in the transaction of gov
eminent business is almost beyond
computation. Another striking con-
trast between the sluggish way of
transacting business on the part of the
government and the prompt way on
the part of corporation was made
dressed by Edward E. Poor, president
of the National Park bank of New
York, to L. c. Weir, president of the
Adams Express company. In his let
ter Mr.. Poor made clear how his bank
had shipped $4,000 in currency to the
National hank of Newberry, South
Carolina, via the Adams Express com
pany This was on the 18th of Decem-
Der. On the Goth of the same month an
agent for the express company called
at the bank to say that the package of
currency was missing. On the 22nd an
agent of the express company called at
the bank and handed the president a
check for 1000, the value of the pack
age 1t will be remembered that the
Bank of the Republic at Chicago was
about three months in effecting a set
tlement with the government after the
1000 package of currency shipped
through the postOffice from Chicago to
Butte, Montana, was reported lost.

She has much greater commercial in

power on earth, and will not sacrifice
them. If she expects to clash at all
with Russia it will be well to open the
ball before the Siberian railroad is COM
pleted, for, with it to move armies and
supplies, the car would be far more
formidable than at present. In any
event it will be interesting to cohtem-
