If you have anything to do with

Whenever the women see a new widow
coming down the street they put on a look
of sweet sympathy that also takes quick
measurement of the length of her Grape.
The women all envy a certain Atchison
woman who has bluffed her husband into
the belief that she has heart disease and is
liable to drop dead If crossed in her wishes.
When a girl has her picture taken wear

The complaint is made that an Atchison
girl is so interested in being a Daughter of

earthly father.
The average woman regards an apology
as good deal like a sponge and believes
that it will wipe out anything.

AN INDUSTRIOUS LORD
Kelvin, the English Scientist, and His
Love for Work
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Much interest is taken in the scientific
world in the approaching retirement from
his professors chair in Glasgow University
of Lord Kelvin, who, before his elevation
10 the peerage in 1922. was known as Sir
William Thompson. He affords one of the
few instances of a person raised to the
peerage for eminent services who has
made his title equally we'll known with his
family names by reason of the continuance
of those services. With most men entrance
into the peerage. has been a retirement
from activ duty, but Lord Kelvins contri-
buttons to science have been as valuable
considering the relatively short time in
which they have been made, as were those
of William Thompson.
Lord Kelvin is eminent as an inventor as
well as a physicist. His mirror galvano-
meter rendered the early Atlantic cables
economical in working, and he was knight
ed in 1866 for his aid to TRANSATLANTIC tele-
eraDhy His siphon recorder was an i'm
pruvement, and he has invented other val
uahie aids to submarine cable laying and
navigation. His electrical measuring in
struments are well known. In 1892 Sir
William Thompson became Baron Kelvin
He is an ex-president of the Royal Society
aud has received many honors.

When the fin of a fish punctures the mn

excrucatng and sickening. Hold the
wound close to a red-hot ember or any

all the pain is gone and that it is seldom
necessary to repeat the application of heat.

A COMMON TROUBLE

A Mistake in Earnest

On one occasion Lord Norbury of Eng

utation prospecting in the dock for BUSH
ness and determined to make an example
of him. Just as the attorney was climbing
over the rails of the dock into the court
his lordship called OUT
"Jaier, one of your prisoners is escap-
ing. Put him back
Back the attorney was thrust and the
following coloquy ensued:
my lord, there is a mistake here. L am
an attorney"
"I am very sorry. indeed" said Lord
Norbury, Ito see one of your profession in
the dock"
"But. my lord l am innocent
Eyes, they all say that" was the
judges reply. "A jury of your own fellow
countrymen must settle it
But, my lord,' exclaimed the now des-
perate man, there is no Indictment
