Butter Coloring.

Because rich June grass butter Is yell low the public thought 1t could secure the same kind of butter the year round, says c. S. Walters in The American Cultivator. The dealers, to satisfy this demand, made their butter color ing at first of aniline coal tar dye. which is poisonous and injurious to the system. There was no other dye that would color the butter satisfactorily. There is some of this injurious butter color on the market today, and 1t is even defended by some of the manu- lecturers as harmless. Their reason ing is something after this style: A teaspoonful of the coloring will be suf- ficient to color 20 quarts of cream, and this amount of cream will make ten pounds Of butter. On the average q man will eat only ten pounds of butter in as many weeks, therefore the amount of poison he will take into his system will be too small to notice. But this reasoning is false for the simple reason that the accumulative effects of poison in the stomach may take years to work harm. but in the end the
 
 should be eliminated from any dairy products, and where butter colors are known to be made from these coal tar products of poisonous nature they should be rejected. Our state laws should absolutely prohibit their sale and use. But, on the other hand. the use of the nonpoisonous, vegetable de- rived colorings is perfectly legitimate. The coloring material, instead of being injurious and dangerous to the health, is really of benefit to us and can be looked upon as food. It gives to the butter a rich. creamy look and en- hanceS its flavor. The use of these harmless butter colors should be as general among the dairymen who make their own butter as among the cream cries. The consumers demand the col ored butter. and it should be supplied to them so long as no harm is being done. There would be more demand for dairy butter if the makers employ ed more of the arts and skill of the pro- fessional creamery makers. They have studied the markets well and can read the needs cf the public.

- Mutually bIe.

One day last summer a sour visaged, middle aged, fusSy woman got on one of the smoking seats in an open car in the subway. Next to her sat a man who was smoking cigar. More than that. the woman, sniffing, easily made out that the man had been eating on- ions. Still more than that, she had the strongest kind of suspicion that he lad been drinking beer. The woman fussed and wriggled and grew angrier and looked at the man scornfully. Presently she could endure it no lon ger. She looked squarely at him and said:
 "If you were my husband, sir, I'd give you dose of poison!'
 The man looked at her. If 1 were your husband" said he, 'I'd take it!" Boston Transcript.

Found His Auditor.

Professor Charles D. R. Roberts, the poet, reads the modern languages very easily, but speaks them imperfectly. At reception held in New York just prior 10 his leaving for Europe Rob- erts was introduced to a distinguished Preach artist. who was here on visit.
 The artist asked in his own tongue, You speak French?'
 No answered the poet. "I am sorry do not, but understand 1t well when it is spoken to me"
 Il am so glad" replied the French man. You are the audience I have long wanted. I can talk to you all please. and you cannot talk back"-- Colorado Springs Gazette.

The Wnlia Ran nn~n

The Irishman who went up in the ho- tel lift without knowing what it was did not recover easily from the sur prise. He relates the story in this way:
 Il wint to the hotel, and, says I, Is Misther Smith in?
 Yes said the man with the sojer cap. Will yez step in?'
 So l steps into the closet, and all of suddint he pulls the rope, and-its the truth I'ze telling yez-the walls of the building began running down to the cellar.
 "'Och, murther!' says I. 'Whatll be- come of Bridget and the children which was left below there?
 Says the sojer cap man: Be aisy. SOFT. They'll be all right when yez come down.
 Come down, is itY says I. And it is no closet at all, but haythenish balloon, that yez got me inr
 And wid that the walls stood stock still, and he opened the door, and there was wid the roof just over my head! And, begorra, tha"s what saved me from going up to the hevins intirelyp' Irish Independent.

FOR OPENING CASH DRAWER
&. A. RObb Is Arrested and Pleads

CROWDED FOR ROOM
Attendance al High School Is
a Record Breaker.
NUMBER Is NOW 435
Question of Placing the Stu
dents, a Hard One.


There are more pupils enrolled and in
actual attendance at the city high school
at the present time than on any former
year in the history OF the public school
system of Wichita. There are 4S5 pupils
attending the High school and the prob
lem as to what disposition TO make OF
the number is becoming more than the
management can solve.
For the first time in the history OF the
present building. the small library IS be-
ing used as class room and still there
are those who cannot be accommodated
The classes are all crowded, and as this
is only the second week OF the fall term,
many others from different parts OF the
city are expected to enroll
The attendance on the opening week,
or even during the first month OF the
previous years. did not exceed four hund-
red pupils and az no time was the rooms
so crowded by students as at the pres
ent time The placing of the pupils IS
becoming a serious question 10 the pro-
fessors and If more pupils should come
in, there is some doubt as to the ability
to give them the proper attention.
The attendance at the High school for
the past few years has been nearly sta
tioinery, lowering near the 400 mark.
At times It would increase and again by
sickness or bad weather, the attendance
would drop back 10 the normal At no
time did the rooms get crowded. Last
year when the attendance began to
crawl up. the smallpox scare came on
and this took large number of the pu-
pills from the different departments.
The freshman class Of the High school
numbers 200 students and in this itself,
no other year has the number reached
such a high mark The other classes are
Of normal size, perhaps with a slight in
crease, in the senior class. Owing to the
large class Of freshmen II was found
necessary to change rooms and the fresh
uen class now has more room than
they have ever had previous to this
time.
The need OF new High school build
ing is now evident and since the difficulty
in securing rooms for the present stud
ents at the present high school, the pat
rons are becoming more interested IN
the new building question. The demand
is for modern and up-to-date building
and many persons have a plan in their
own mind. just as how they would like
to have the new building look The ques-
ton as to the site is also being discussed
among the people and the available
places have all been picked out.
Should the next month increase the
attendance Of the High school as il has
increased within the last week, the mem
bers Of the board OF education would
be forced to do something toward solv-
ing the problems as to room in the pres
ent building.

ing A committee composed Of seevral of
