Taken by the Takcrn.

The women Of Nantucket, where
there are more stoves than In bigger
cities, use holders to open doors and
move stove tops and take special de-
light In doing So. for the holders they
all call "takers." Takers" was the
name used on the island in the days
when 1t was making big history for
ftelf, and the lovers Of antiquities take
great delight in it. With this name a
couple OF squares OF chIntz bound at
the edges become relic. This feeling
OF veneration the islanders convey to
their summer visitors to such an ex-
tent that the city people carry takers"
home with great delight and handle
tongs and bellows with them. There
is great deal in a name.-New York

Boito beyond question had provided
Verdi with another libretto. although

done anything Of consequence with 1t,
the only unpublished compositions he
left being come short religious pieces.

DO Your Beat In Your Own Career tn
Postpone 1t.
Nopoieon says:
In all battles moment occurs when
the bravest troops. after having made
the greatest efforts, feel inclined to
run. That terror proceeds from want
OF confidence In their own courage. and
it only requires slight opportunity, q
pretense. to restore confidence to them.
The art is to give rise to the opportu-
nifty and to invent the pretense. At
Arcola Won. the battle with 25 horse
men. seized that moment Of lassi-
tude. gave every man trumpet an;i
gained the day with this handful. You
see that two armies are two bodies
which meet and endeavor to frighten
each other. A moment OF panic occurs
and that moment must be turned to
advantage. When man has been
rrenec. L; iiidIIy actions, iic distin-
guishes that moment without difficulty.
1t Is as easy rs casting up an addi-
tion."
There Is n moment when the BRAY.
est troops feel inclined to run"
fighter feels inclined to quit.
Postpone that moment IL you- cwIi
career. You are not fighting other
men physically, but you are fighting
conditions. You are fighting the COM
petition Of all the men around you.
In every mans life, whatever strug-
gle lie may be engaged In, there comes
q moment when his courage fails, and,
as Napoleon says Of his troops, this Of
ten comes after making the greatest
effort. It often comes also just before
success. Often you will hear q man or
O woman say:
"L have tried and tried, and It Is nc
use."
That man c- woman has reached tine
point which Napoleon mentions when
the brave feel like running. You have
all heard the old and probably false sto
ry Of the miner who struggled on from
day to day, seeking for gold. and q,
last threw down his l'ick In despair
ready to give up. That last despairine
blow Of the pick uncovered the signs OF
gold which would make him rich.
Many men faik for lack of that las,
because they do not know low to In.
spire themselves as Napoelon inspired
the army Mt Arcola. Napoleon waa the
soul Of the army-he was the army
When he gave the trumpets to his men
and charged, winning the day, he acted
as brave man may do In any moment
OF despair and hesitancy.
Stir up your courage, shut your teeth.
"give trumpets" to your Imagination
and resolution and ambition and hope
and the other 81 motives that inspire
us. If you don't give up. you can't lose
In the end.
Don't be discouraged. Don't dcspise
yourself because you feel downhearted
and timid. Remember "a moment
comes when the bravcst feel inclined
to rum" When that moment comes {
you. make up your mind that you won
run.
Fight It out, win and thank Napoleon.

Twenty-six convicts made a very
daring escape from the federal prison
at Leaveuworth last week and the off,
GERS in the eastern part of the state
have been busy looking for them.
About half of them have been captur-
ed, four of them dead. The sheriff of
Shawnee county had very exciting
experience which he Is not anxious to
repeat. He was after q couple of fel.
lows in his county and went into =
house to make inquiry. The fellows
were in the house and took him pris-
oner as he entered. The house was
soon surrounded and after time the
fellows concluded it WAS time TO go
SO they took the sheriff and woman
and using them for chest protectors
calmly marched past the officers who
did not dare to shoot as to do 40
would have insured the death of the
sheriff and probably of the woman as

The Farmers Advocate, of Topeka,
has been denied admiss sion to the
mails at the pound rates. This means
that every paper sent out will ha To
carry one-cent stamp. AS several
thousand are mailed each week it will
be seen that large item of expense
is added to the mailing of the paper.
1t is understood that the department
has been gathering information
through the pOstmasters and has come
to the conclusion that the paper is not
sent to genuine subscribers. This pa
per was founded in the early days of
the Alliance and has been q strong
advocate of reform ideas. These ideas
are not popular with the republican
party and the chances are that there
is lot of politics in the order. Any
one who IL acquainted with the owners
of the paper knows that the paper is
run on business principles to make
money, and this could not be done If
the paper was not paid for by some
one. As the populist party has no
money for the free distribution OF lit
erature, it follows that the people who
get the paper are the ones who pay
for 1t. If only republican papers are
to be admitted to the mails, the soon
er We find it out the better for all con-
cerned. Mr.. Gaines says that the ac-
ttOn OF the department WAS taken with

show that the business Of the paper is

Club Notes,

The alteration Meeting of Seventh
District Clubs was something to be
proud OF. 1t was in no sense a dress
parade or a social function but a bodv
of earnest intellectual women seeking
the better way, along lines of human
conduct. Only the woman who has
overcome the besetting sin of egotism
and risen above self seeks better
way. The self satisfied woman is
sure her way is the right one.
Among the good things at the meet
ing were, an Equal Moral Standard
for Men and Women" by Mrs. Ham
ilton of Kingman and practical
things to be done in our district" by
Mrs. Harry Hubbard of Dodge City.
the latter paper on civics. The dis
cussion following the two subjects in
dicated strongly the broad view wo-
men take of these practical things, and
their tendency to consider every SUBJ
ject in its bearing upon the home.
The Home Department of the Feder-
alton was very fine.
Every woman who had the pleasure
to being q part of the meeting at
Hutchinson was proud of the executive
ability of Mrs. Weatherlee. The
promptness and fairness of her de-
cisions made the business part of the
work easy and rapid.
The Hutchinson people gave the
women q royal good time Every
thing possible was one for their COM
fort and happiness.
The fifth session of the Federation
is the largest yet held.
Next year it goes to Dodge City,
which will bring it nearer the western
women than it has ever been.
Our home people will be glad to
know that Mrs. F. D. Smiths singing
gave great pleasure to the ladies 1T

New Books.

Very few people realize the value Of
placing selections from good literature
before children. We say selections
because too much of classic is some
times beyond the childs mind. A short
selection is apt to stimulate interest
and make such an impression that
there is a desire at some time to read
more. This desire never leaves the
mind. and when opportunity presents
Itself, Is gratified.
In the "Lincoln literary Collecsfon'
edited by McCaskey there are eullings
from the good literature Of modern
times. It Is an Invaluable book both
for school and family. use, being at
tractively, and substantially gotten

Right Sort OF Farming.

We notice there is a considerable change
in the progress Of the farmers of this
section of the country in the last fifteen
or twenty years. A good many of the
day laborers have resorted to the farm
for their support. Now they raise their
own food and have plenty and to spare.
And the old sturdy farmers whose wood
land brought forth its wild crops fifteen
wears ago, are now converted into boun-
daries of fine blue grass, and his fat
cattle roam the broai acres. and rest
under the oaks from The summers sultry
sun Farmers who, fifteen years ago. did
not raise a grain of wheat, and depended
on the Western countries for flour, now
raise their own fou- for home USE.
