fares and saw that he missed a nun Der.
When he returned to the rear of the
car he was informed that he was five
short-that there were thirty passen-
gers and he had collected only twenty
five fares. Without waiting for further
advice the new man put his head in
the door of the car and shouted:
-Al who have not paid their fares will
please stand up
Not a passenger moved Perhaps they
were amazed-probably as much astonish-
ed as the old conductor The silence was
becoming almost painful. Finally SUI

him why he didn't stand up.

began to dawn on the other passengers.

FIRM FOUNDATION.
Nothing Can Undermine It in
Topeka.

People are sometimes slow to recog-
nize true merit and they cannot be
blamed for so many in the past have
been humbugged. The experience of
hundreds of Topeka residents expressed
publicly through newspapers and other
sources places Doan's Kidney Pills on
a firm foundation.
Mr.. Henry Page, No. 302 East Fourth
street. a resident of Topeka for twenty
years. says: "A five weeks attack of
grippe left me as it does many others
with a weakness of the kidneys. The
pain across the loins and the trouble
with the kidney secretions, particularly
noticeable at night, We're, to say the
least, annoying and I thought if Doan's
Kidney Pills performed half what they
promised the treatment might help me.
I procured a box at RowIey & Snow 5
drug store, corner of Sixth street and
Kansas avenue, and took it. The treat
ment was very satisfactory. To say I
endorse Doan's Kidney Pills is a mild
way Of expressing my opinion of that
remedy"

denotes continue. According to a cable
gram from London. Jaroslav Kocian, a
still younger Bohemian violinist than Jan
Kubelik, has been engaged for an Ameri-
can tour next season, with the now
fashionable guarantee of 100000 for 50
concerts. The hackers of the venture are
said to have formed a syndicate, headed
by Rudolph Aronson and including Joseph
Letter, who has achieved fame as grain
operator and otherwise, and H. W. Arkell.
Koeian is declared to equal Kubelik in
talent for the violin. He was born at
Wildenschwert, in Bohemia, February p,
1884, and therefore is just Is. He began to
play the violin when only three and one
half years of age-a mere baby, in fact.
His father, a schOolmaster by profession,
was his first teacher At the age of y
the boy entered the Prague Conserva-
forum of Music and studied the violin in
that institution under Sevcik-the master
of Ondricek and Kubelik. He had an
equally good teacher for composition in An
tonin Dvorak. He left the conservatorium
in July, 1900, and has given concerts in
Brunn, Prague, Vienna and other CONT
mental cities with success.
Kocian spent most of last winter in
London and the papers made nearly as
much fuss of him as they did of Jan
Kubelik, whose recent tour in the United
States ended a few weeks ago. So the
kubelik episode may have to be repeated
in New York next season.

Possibly one secret Of the astonishing
success Of the theorists experiment lies
in the fact that they probably did not
allow as large an amount Of food for
the family as the average family of that
size would eat \ laboring man and two
boys are likely to eat a good deal if they
can get 1t, and this kind Of menu is not
the kind which viii satisfy them. The
only possibility OF feeding a family on
10 cents a day for each person lies in
certain sameness OF diet An Italian
will get up q sayory stew or dish Of
macar0ui for an incredibly small sum.
and eat only that one dish. with possibly
little fruit and some sort of drink; a
Chinaman viii make his meal of rice,
and the ante-belIun negro often lived
of practically nothing but bacon and
cOTn-meal. But the variety of food here
described cannot be provided for a1y 10
cents day, in such quantities as will
satisfy the hearty appetites of those en-
gagged in manual labor. Such expert
ments tend to create the impression that
the poor are poor because they are i'm
provident, not because they have not
enough money to be comfortable.

progress is gorgeous, with all the tawdry
