kANSANS THEN AND NOW.

Puebloans will scarcely be able
to think of the raw men of the
Kansas regiment who went through
here late last spring on their way
to San Francisco to take ship
to Manila rs the same men
who have set the whole nation
ringing with praises for the
magnificent work they have done
under Colonel Funston against the
Filipinos. Moro than half of them
were without equipment or uni
forms when they jumped from
their trains at the Union depot to
receive the greetings of patriotic
Puebloans. Half of them, and
more, had never been off the farm
where they were born. That they
we're men of the true stuff was
plain, but soldiers they were not.
Whole companies did not know
the meaning of single military
command or have the most remote
idea of military formations. To-
day. under their intrepid leader,
they are swimming rivers, crossing
bridges on the stringers. facing a
calling fire and driving savages
from their trenches. The history
of the regiment is the index to the
military greatness of the United
States. The achievements of such
as they, who had no training be-
fore going into the service, will
serve ms n warninp tn the. nnttians
against raising the mailed fist
against this country, thinking us
weak besause we have not great
standing army. Pueblo Chieftain.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
She is the Cleverest, Most Beau

The American girl has set the
standard of beauty for the whole

statements. there never was one so
true, even in its finest analysis, y
writes Edward Box in the May
Ladies' Home Journal And not
only is this true of the American

and is true of her chic and her
brightness. She is the clevercst
and most graceful girl in the world.
Likewise she is the best dressed
The French may set the fashions.
but it takes the American girl to
wear them. No girl so completely
understands the art of dressing
we'll, See, for moment. how true
this is of the girl of limited in
come-she who is out in the world
earning her daily bread. No girl
in the world dresses more becom-
ingly than the self supporting girl
of America. Everyone who has
seen anything of the world and of
the working girls of other nations
knows how literally true this is.
The working girl in America is
prettier to begin with. We all
know that some of the prettiest
types of American girlhood are
found behind the counters of
stores and at desks in offices. But
the American girl does not stop
with her personal beauty. She is
clever enough to know exactly
how to dress to suit her circum-
stances, and rarely does she over
dress"

plants he had received from men
who were prevented from seeing
the pulpit by women's hats in
front of them. Mr.. Conwell did
not ask the women to take off their
hats, but said he would be glad to
receive suggestions as to how best
to avoid the difficulty. At the ser
vice last Sunday he read to his
congregation letter from Oua-
ker gentleman, who proposed a
sound remedy for the high hat
evil. The letter was written in
dignitied style, but a quiet vein of
humor ran through it. His sug-
gestion was that the congregation
should be divided, according to the
Friends style women on one side
and men on the other. He then
proposed that all women who re-
moved their hats during the ser
vices be allowed to sit on the mems
side, and the conclusion was clear
that every woman would at once
remove the Objectionable headgear.

Advertising A Gauge of Public Intel
ligence.

1t may be rightly asserted that adj
vertising in this aye is a gauge of
public intelligence. One of the most
natural results of the industrial and
commercial development of the Uni
ted States during the past fifty years
has been the concentration Of popular
attention upon the various elements
which have tended to promote that
development. 1t is admitted by sue
cessful business men that advertising
is one Of the most important of those
elements. and consequently the public
watches iDtently the systems adopted
by the tradesmen in conducting their
newspaper advertising. On the other
hand the merchant is compelled to
keep pace in the make up Of his ssads"
with the broadening intelligence of
the people; and as result the legiti-
mate advertiser truthfully reflects
that intelligence.

THE REEF WHITEWASH.
Finding of the Wade Court was no Sur
prise-General Miles is Willing to
Stand by Public Opinion.

The whitewashing report of the
Wade Court of Inquiry, which has de-
voted ten weeks to Investigating army
beef, didn't come as a surprise. 1t
has been manifest from the start that
the court sought to refute rather than
to fairly prove the charges.
Its first act was to force General
Miles to appear in the role of defend
ant. He was compelled to have rep
resentative present to bring out facts
which the court did not seek. This
representative was not permitted to
know what were the Presidents in
StructionS to the court.
General Miles declines to comment
upon the courts action. He is said to
be willing to abide by the verdict of
the public. Friends of the command
ing general characterize the action Of
the court as most unfair. They de-
clare that the testimony sustained the
General in every respect.
An appeal will be made to the Pres
ident in behalf of General Miles.
There is every indication that the
beef controversy will become an issue
in the forthcoming Presidential cam
paign.

about 5000 worth OF protested notes
which Lynn had failed to lift wher

They failed to locate Lynn, but
succeeded in having fayorite inter

The father was not inclined tC
think that his son would do such a
thing and it was not until his callers
had laid out before him the protested
notes of various sizes ord aronnts,
each and every one bearing his only
sons signature that he was convinced
that such was the fact.
1t is known, now, that Lynn went

wrote number of his friends here
that he was enroute to Arizona and
it is supposed that he is now on the
way. At the death of his father,
Lynn will inherit about $50, 000 and

No Deadheads There.

/ heard good story that comes
from a little town in the northern
part OF the state. Among the mem
bers OF the Methodist church at that
place is an old railroad conductor
who has been retired from the
business for ten years or more. Dur
ing the morning service at his church
not many Sundays ago the old rail-
roader was called upon by the minis
ter to assist in taking up the collec-
tion-one of the stewards who usually
helped in that work being absent.
The retired railroader started down
the aisle with the contribution basket
and passed it around like an old hand
at the business. Everything passed
off smoothly until he came to good
old brother who had nodded himself
fast asleep, an just as he was about to
pass by him he was suddenly over
come by the force Of habit acquired ia
his railroad days. Giving the sleep
ing brother dig on the shoulder with
the basket, he blurted out: Ticket,
please."

A sWINDLER
Hits number of People in this and
Greene County.

Last week a swindler did some
clever work in the southern part of
the county, says the Waynesburg
Independent. He represented that
an extensive telephone line was to be
built, and he had charge of the work.
He arranged with the Strosnider
House in Blacksmith for the enter
tainment of so men. On the strength
of this he got several days board
ing. And thus he beat his way with
many Of the farmers along the pro
posed line of the mythical telephone
line. He employed farmer to fnr
nish some poles, and he cut several
before the fraud was discovered. He
went into a store and asked the mer-
chant what kind of checks he had.
Being told, he said bis book had been
exhausted and asked him for blank
check. The merchant gave him sev-
eral He filled one for SIS and got
the merchant to cash 1t, who later
discovered he had been defrauded to
that amount The telephone man
who visits that section hereafter
must be on legitimate business, and
well recommended, or he may re
ceive warm reception with "ous
tralatery" demonstrations.

years Immediately previous to his
