There is a time in almost every young mans life, says a wise ob- server, when he imagines that he is really a warm number. When he grows older, and by exper- fence, aceumulatea small store of good, common horse sense, he views the same class of boys with disgust. He meditates on his past and wonders # he ever was such a confounded fool. A smart alec is about the most de- spisable mortal that ever drew breath, but the law forbids killing them, and the people are com pelled to grin and bear their presence in the community.

 BOTH SIDES OF TIE CAMPAIGN.
Lhs kansds City Stars Hevei Forum
 EedtuyS

The Kansas City Star has de- cided upon special feature for the Presidential Campaign which was never undertaken before by any newspaper. At it's request the chairman of the two National Committees, Messrs. James K. Jones and M. A. Hanna, have selected and appointed two dis tinguished writers to conduct, in the Star, a department called 1.-The Campaign Forum" In this department the arguments ot each of the two great parties will be presented, side by side, day by day. To conduct the Democratic side, MT. Jones has selected and formally appointed MT. Willis J. Abbott, Chef of the press Bureau of the Democratic National Committee, and, for the Repub- lican side MT. Hanna has selected and appointed the famous jour nalist and literateur, MT. Murat Halstead. Upon learning the de- cision of the two Chairmen, The Star immediately engaged the two gentlemen and on Sunday, August 19, the Campaign Forum will be inaugurated, to be con- tinued in the regular issue ot the Star, daily and Sunday, until the end of the Campaign. An inter- esting feature of the Forum will be the answers to questions upon Campaign topics, submitted to The Star to be answered by either Mir. Halstead or MT, Abbott, or both. Under the circumstances, the answers thus given will have the stamp of authority of the National Committees.

The Spread OF oont.r,ou. Diseases.


The responsibility OF those persons
who supply the public with food and
drink is not sufficiently realized by the
community at large. Not long since
number OF cases OF diphtheria broke
out in a neighborhood. The disease
was of very severe type. and, in sew
eral instances. proved fatal after two
or three days Illness. 1t seemed i'm
possible. at first, to trace the conta-
gion to Its source, but after a thor
ough canvass of the vicinity II was
discovered that dealer in milk had
in his family couple Of cases OF diph-
iberia. He professed Ignorance of the
cause OF the children's sickness. and
even when assured of its nature.
claimed that he had no idea that 1t
could be conveyed In milk. The fact
that parents do not know how chill
dren could have contracted this dis
ease often acts as a check upon any
efforts to combat 1t. insisting that as
the little ones have not been exposed
to this malady 1t certainly must be
something else that ails them. When
illness OF this sort breaks out in a
family the only proper course is to
have 1t investigated at once. Delays
are quite sure to be disastrous II not
fatal and in the present condition Of
medical knowledge on this subject.
there is reasonable hope OF relief IL
attention is given when the first
symptoms OF illness manifest them
selves.

CHATTER III.

Impossible, my dear sir-impossi-
ble!"
1t was Captain Derwent who spoke
in that decidedly aggressive tone OF
decision, and he whom he addressed
was Don Gordon. as they strolled IN
company along a narrow track by the
side of winding nullah. on their way
back to mess at the Tirah camp.
1t was nearly three weeks since the
lover had hidden Lille farewell. and
she IL was who was under discussion
now.
Don's cheek was flushed. and his DARK
eyes glowed ominously as their glance
followed the clouds of pale smoke from
the cheroot he puffed for several min
utes in proud silence.
That he had never contemplated CAP
tain Derwent's blunt refusal OF his suit
was very certain. by the easy assurance
with which he had courted and won
Lilies own consent
"You say it is impossible your daugh-
ter should ever be my wife?" Don
spoke at last. with painful distinct
ness.
1t was characteristic of Don's nature
that he was rarely reused to passion )
but, once reused. 1t was deep and last

placed the flush upon his face 1t was
too evident he was moved to passion
now.

Master of tn. steam.


There Is one thing for which an en-
gineer is noted. This is the absolute
obedience of orders. He is brought up
on that from the time he starts to fir
ing till he becomes graduate and
takes charge OF an engine. Then he
becomes the instructor of others, and.
of course. never loses the main point.
There Is a story told illustrative OF
this Two men were applicants for
positions on one of the railroads in
Boston not long ago. They both want
one place vacant. The superintendent
before whom they appeared asked one
question, which ran after this fash
ion: Suppose you were on a siding
with orders for a train to pass. A
message would go over the wire that
the oncoming train for which you were
waiting was two hours late. What
would you do?" The first one was
asked the question, and he pulled his
hat down over his face and said: II
dunno. That is the conductors job,
not mine" The superintendent said
he might leave his address, and IL they
needed him they would drop him a
line. The second man was standing at
a respectful distance. with his cap in
his hand. and was asked the same
question. Il tell you, sir" he said.
"if the orders looked all right. and
thought the signature was good and
all that, | would stand on that siding
forever" II guess you had better re-
port to the roundhouse for duty" said
the rintendent.-Boston Journal.

whnn L. Rain. 1t pour..

The Hadramut valley. in South Ara

times, is hardly ever visited nowadays.
as the natives are lawless set and
very unfriendly toward strangers.
They have curious method Of culti-
rating the land. The upper surface
of much Of the soil is sand. which is
scraped OF by long wooden boxes fas-
tened to camels. or the sand thus col
lected dykes are made around the dis
tr,ct that is to be cultivated. Next the
soil is lightly plowed. and then the
farmer waits for rain. Sometimes rain
falls only once in three years, but when
il comes 1t pours in torrents. and the
water is held up by the dykes The
crop then is SO abundant that even If
the rain fell only every third year.
enough grain is grown to last the peo-

proceeds TO eat them. He Is regular as

their watches by him than by the old

breakfast at o'clock and dinner at
