what he might properly have claimed
as his right.
Politics, however, atleast so far as it
affected his personal Office seeking, has
been a mere incident with Senator
Stewart and not a main issue. THE
business of his life has been farming,
and he has made it a good business.
Beginning with quarter section Of
Neosho bottom land, he sgradually
spread his fences until they inclosed
600 acres of soil as fair and fertile as
is to be found anywhere in Kansas.
AS his sons have grown up, he has
decided quarter sections of this land to
them, so that they have settled down
within sight of the old home roof, to
work out their own fortunes as their
father worked out his, and to bring
up their children as he reared his, in
the fear of God and in the love of the
, commonwealth which their fathers
have done so much to make.
Although nearly seventy years of
age, SeTh htor Stewart is as CHEEKY and
vigorous apparently as he was twenty
years ago, filing with entire satisfac-
tion TO his constituents the double Of
fees of state senator and regent of the
Agricultural College, and taking the
livelest interest now as he has ever
done in the political and business life
Of the state and the nation. With the
wife of his youth still by his side; with
his seven children in happy BONES about
him; with a secure competence; with
all the honors to which his modesty
has permitted him to aspire; resting
securely on the faith of his fathers, he
may well enjoy the present, while he
contemplates the past without regret,
and looks into the future without fear.

NOW A KANSAS FIGHT
Beef Trust Combine is now
on Kansas Soil

Kansas City, April 17-When the
fight is made by the United States
government on the packers trust here
it will te made mostly in Kansas. In
all probability Major William Warn.
er, United States district attorney
here, will have considerable to do
with this, but in greater probability
the fight will be made by the United
States district attorney for Kansas,
who is ]. S. Dean. Major Warner in
timated as much yesterday after
noon.
The major was asked when be would
make public the letter of instructions
that he is declared to have received
and which he does not deny-from
Attorney General Knox.
II have not admitted receiving one,"
said the major with a smile.
"Supposing you had, what will be
the method of procedure?" he was
asked.
"Well, now" was his reply, still
with his meaning smile, did it ever
occur to you that the packing houses
are all on the other side Of the line?
They are in Kansas, young man."
Then will proceedings begin over
there, rather than here?"
probably wherever the trust is
found to be"
Then the major shut up like clam
and had nothing further TO say.
1t Twas asserted yesterday by one
supposedly sin the know" that Major
Warner had received word from At
torney General Knox, about the Pack
ers' combine; that he had replied,
calling attention to the fact that all
the houses were on the other side Of the
line, and that he was now awaiting re-
turns from this last report of his,
which would by this time only have
reached Washington. When the at
torney generals department reads it,
and learns where the packing houses
are, it is believed, action will begin in
Kansas. This, it was stated by the
same authority, is the reason Major
Warner is so reticent; he does not
want anyone who is deemed necessary
to an inquiry to get away. When an
alleged combine was Investigated
once before, several years ago, vaca-
tions in Canada were very popular
among packing house heads of de-
partments.
AS a matter OF fact, however, the
combine is an interstate affair. The
houses are in Kansas, but the COM
bining is done on this side, in ON
in the Armour building.
One of the circumstances which
makes the existence of the beef trust
most injurious to the general public
is the arbitrary manner in which it.
deals with its patrons, the butchers.
The butchers are offered the alterna-
tive of buying from the packers at any
prices which they may choose to offer
them or doing their own killing, for,
competition among the packers being
absolutely throttled, the butcher can
not turn from one which handles him
roughly to another with hope of
getting better treatment

tack, though I know of two others. One was observed by Ralph Ar mold, a geologist of Pasadena. He was wading through the pools at low tide at Point San Pedro when suddenly he heard a cry, and, turning. saw some children in a pool, Wading, and moving toward them large octopus, it's long arms raised above the water. Whether the animal would have attempted to interrupted in a more or less violent manner. A resident of Washington told me that once when visiting the shore he was advised by the fisherman with him to avoid the pools and when it became necessary to cross them to pass over as quickly as possible, as large octopi frequented them. He con-
 sidered this the eXaggeration of a fish
 erman and paid but little attention to it; but once in crossing a pool stepping from stone to stone, suddenly a long, livid arm shGt out of the water and reached insinuatingly for his legs, the entire animal moving rapidly toward him. He, however, reached the rocks safely and bonbarded the animal with stones. He estimated it's size at 25 feet across, judging the tentacles to
 have been IF feet n length. Again. it cannot be determined from this wheth- CT the animal would have seized him, though the observer was confident that it would and that it was large enough to have held him under water had he
 been pulled in.-C. F. Holder in Scien- tific American.

At one point in our ascent the climb became scramble. Fifty feet above us, directly over our ieacs, man was sitting astraddle of girder. One hand welded huge hammer. the other toyed with pair of pincers in which was an 5ron bolt heated to white heat. Even MT. Canman did not enjoy the idea of remaining long beneath this workman, A moment later in our climbing We came upon a small platform. on which stood forge for heating the clamps, bolts and irons used in the stone and steel work. The platform was about six feet long and four wide. It was two hundred and twenty-five feet above the level of the street, and small as it was 1t accommodated three busy worknlen and the forge. One of them, who scene to be charge, hailed MT. Can man as he would friend whom he had not seen for months. In truth. these workmen seemed of another world.
 Passing on to another ladder and to yet another, we came at last to an opening that seemed to lead straight into the sky. Before emerging we paused, and for a short moment looked down. All about under us was cob- web filament of iron and steel, upon which could be seen black specks crawl ing here and there. They were the iron workers, plying their perilous trade. There are days when it is almost dead calm down in the street, yet so windy up here that the men would be blown off if they attempted to work said MT. Canman. You see. there are upper currents of air that play havoc with our plans. Then there are other days when it seems quite windy down below and not a breath is stirring here. On those days the men walk about on the narrow girders and trusses as carefessly as you walk on the sidewalks"
 Here, just under the roof of the dome, the new quarters for the United States weather bureau are to be located.

The Toiman Skirt Holder.

This is a new thing and a good thing. You will find it demonstrated in the main aisle.
 It ensures the proper "dip" front to the waist line, but that isn't all. It gives that effect very easily, with a de- vice that is as simple as a safety pin. It holds the skirt up and the waist down. Furthermore, it is absolutely hidden from sight, and a belt |of any width can be worn over it without discomfort.
 Finally, it's inexpensive 25c.
