William D. Harris of Topeka contrib
uted the following to a Washington re-
porter: You people down here in the
east have a funny opinion of Kansas.
You think Carrie Nation is typical of
the natives. / am here to state that
people of her class are just like cranks
in any other part of the country The
only difference is that out there our
population is less, and when crank
hobs up he is more noticeable. In my
opinion the Kansas cranks come from
the New England families which moved
out west in the first part of the CEN
tury. They left home for much the
same reason that the Puritans left Eng
land--to get into country where they
could worship as they pleased and not
let anybody else do the same. Out there
it happened the gods were different, but
the spirit of the movement was the
same It's the sons and daughters of
these people who break loose in Kansas

HIGH ATTITUDES.
Food Cannot be Boiled as Quickly as
in Low.

The curious experiences people have
with coffee drinking are worth ponder
ing over if anyone is ailing and does
not know the exact reason thereof.
Coffee is a secretive worker. and
through the nervous system affects diff
ferent parts of the body in different
people.
A young married woman, Mrs T. L.
Blackmon, Oswego, Montana, had a
conclusive experience in the effeets of
coffee on her eyes. She says, Il have
used coffee since a child. but a short
time ago my eyes began to grow weak,
and the least exertion such as reading
or sewing would cause shooting pains
and wavy lines of light SO that could
see but little else for minutes at time.
This alarmed me and earnestly
sought the cause of the trouble Some
one told me that coffee something's af-
fected the eyes. I at once dects~i to

place of coffee, for I wanted to modify.

So I decided to try Postum for my
self. When it came / made it strictly
according to directions and was Won

Husband says that my Postum is very
different, indeed. from that he once
drank at friends table.
I frankly own that I like Postum
better than 1 ever liked coffee 1t has ii
rich body to it that coffee lacks. I boil
it longer than twenty minutes and it
improves it. Perhaps it requires longer
boiling in the high attitudes. I think it
does.

using Postum and have been wonder

HOPE ON.

There was never day SO misty and
gray
That the blue was not somewhere above
it;
There is never a mountain-top ever SO
bleak,
That some little flower does not love it.
There was never a night so dreary and
dark
That the stars were not somewhere
shining;
There is never cloud so heavy and black
Ii 1T it has not a silver lining.
There is never waiting time, weary and
long,
That will not sometime have an ending;
The most beautiful part of the landscape
is where
The sunshine and shadows are blending.
Into every life some shadows will fall,
But heaven sends the sunshine Of love;
Through the riffs in the clouds we may,
If we will,
See the beautiful blue above.
Then let us hope on, though the way be
long
And the darkness be gathering fast,
For the turn in the road is a nttle way on
Where the home lights will greet us
at last.
Morning Star.

HETTY GREEN'S GREAT RICHES
1t Took Two Years for Her to View
the Properties on Which She
Had Mortgages.

"Hetty Green's wealth consists large
ly of government bonds, railroad
stocks and mortgages" writes Leigh
Mitchell Hodges of ''The Richest Wom-
an in America" in Ladies Home Jour
nal. "She says she is not SO fond of
government bonds since the finances
of the nation have become polluted
with politics. Good mortgages of any
kind are now her favorite form of in
vestment. If all the mortgages she
holds were foreclosed tomorrow, %
churches of various denominations, in
almost as many states. would become
hers, and four cemeteries would be
added to her real estate. Besides these
there would be blocks of great bust
ness buildings and splendid city houses.
theaters, livery stables and hotels,
country residences, farms and ranches,
factory buildings and thousands of
acres of valuable land in all parts of
the country. Several years ago she
made tour of inspection OF all the
property on which she held mortgages.
She spent two years travelling and
stayed at 40 hotels in as many cities.
Since then she has added largely to her
holdings of this kind The most con-
servative estimates place Mrs. Green's
wealth at 60,OO0,oO0, but it is probably
more. She herself won't discuss the
matter, except to say that it is over.

the psychology of crime, as well as
the biographies of all the noted Grim
inals of ancient and modern times,
were completely represented. Almost
the only works of fiction in the col
lection were in this section, and in
Guided every book imaginable con-
corning criminals and their deeds.
Many rare and curious volumes were
there-some of them so rare that they
could be found in only few of the
great libraries of the world.
Here Sturgis was in his element.
He had himself collected valuable
library on the subjects kindred to his
profession; but here were books many
of which none but Croesus could
ever hope to own. He was soon alb
sorbed in an examination of some rare
volumes which he had often longed
to possess.
While thus engaged he became
aware of the murmur of voices from
the rear room. AS the words spoken
could not be distinguished. he paid no
special attention to them: but, in
stinctively. he noted that one OF the
voices flowed in the calm, even tones
SO characteristic of Murdocl's speech,
while the other, whose timbre and
modulations We're unknown to him,
BETRAYED the repressed excitement of
the speaker.
1t soon became evident that Muir
docks interlocutor was fast losing
control of himself: for he gradually
pitched his voice IN higher key, I'M
til occasional words began to reach
Sturgis' ears. The reporter was not
the man to wan,only play the part
I of eavesdropper; therefore. although
/ the isolated words which reached him
brought no connected sense, he
Judged that it was time to move out
4 of earshot of the conversation to
! which he was becoming an involun-
tary listener. Replacing upon its
shelf the book which he had been ex
!, aiming, he started toward the hal
door. AS he did so, he heard the
now thoroughly excited individual ex
claim in loud tones:
81 don't care damn for the money
1 only went into the scheme because
you promised she'd have me; and, by
God, if / don't get her, I'll give thu
whole cursed thing away"
Sturgis, who had reached the hal
door, pricbed up his detectives ear
at these words. But in another sec
ond he heard the knobs of the fold
ing doors rattle, as though some on
had placed his hands upon them.
Quick as thought he opened tn
door and glided out into the hallway
He had not time to pull the doc
quite to behind him when the foldin
doors opened and he heard Murdoc
say in his calm. frigid tones:
perhaps you have done that a
ready with your dulcet voice.
: Had Murdoch seen him? The IT
porter asked himself the question
Probably not; for he heard the folt
ing doors close once more.
