KISSED THE WRONG MAN.

Just as barber in shop on Elev-
enth street, near Chestnut, in Phila-
de1phia, had finished lathering the
face of one of his best customers,
well-known business man, there
swept into the place handsomely
dressed young and pretty woman,
who, as she rushed up to the man
with the soap-suddded face, said f:
"Dearie, they told me at the store
that you came here, and, as l have to
hurry to catch the train, l had to run
over here to say goodbye" She
ratified this off in one gasp, and, stoop-
ing over, she landed smaking kiss
on the lathered mans mouth. Wip-
ing the soapsuds off her lips with her
dainty handkerchief, the woman
founced out, saying as she went:
"Now, remember, you must write to
me every day. Goodbye" The
barber, in surprise said "Why, l
didn't know you were married" He
was more surprised when the man
who had been addressed as 'Dearie'
answered II amt" and whats more,
I never saw that woman before" /"
The barber's laughter was Interrupt
ted by a man who was being shaved in
the next chair, who said: "That
was my wife" Shaving operations
were suspended all around until the
second man could explain. The story
was simple enough. The woman
was going to Atlantic City for short
stay, and she was to bid her husband
goodbye at his place of business,
which is near the barber shop. Ar
rived at the husbands store, the wo-
man found that hubby was at the
barber's, and, time being precious,
she hurried to the barbershop to say
adieu. As the first man she came to in
the place, as he lay 1athered, looked
as much like her husband as the hus-
band did himself, the wife naturally
mistook him for her lord and master.
"But why didn't you stop her in
timer" asked the man who had been
kissed. ''I couldn't" was the reply,
"because my barber was working on
a ticklish point on my chin, and if 1
had opened my mouth would GER
tainly have got cut. But, of course,
I didn't imagine she was going to
kiss you." The kissed man, as if to
console the husband, said: "But
she thought it was you she was kiss
ing" The husband, with a "that's
So" agreed. After both men had
got out of their chairs the husband
extended his hand to the man his
wife kissed, and, as the two shook,
the husband said: cts all right
let's have drink" And they went
across the street and had several.

ARE THE sexes GROWING APART,

The question of the relation of the
club to the home is always pertinent.
Does the club separate women from
men; are they growing apart? 1t is
in the deeds and disposition of both
we must seek the cause if this be true.
One thing is sure: Women, having
eaten half the apple of knowledge will
not relinquish the other half, unless
it be, as in the old story, to offer it to
her companion. He refuses to eat,
not because he is not hungry. He
has not Ewes appetite. If men are
not keeping pace with women (and it
is the men who say this, } whose is
the fault?
Concentrations on this point, how
ever, are too swift d therefore
misleading. The more just state
ment is that if some men are not keep
ing pace-the average man and hus-
band, engrossed in business-it is men
still who lead the way. With the
vantage obtained throughout the ages
they should be able to keep this lead
ership. And the average man is not
to be spoken of too slightly who may
fall below his wife in mere accom-
plishments but excel her in the men,
tai force and discipline outside con-
tact with the world procures. have
never forgotten that bit of satire in
one of Mr.. Howell's early books
where he speaks his pretended ad-
miration for the progressive woman
of the day, "whose husband supports
her in the leisure that enables her to
do her deep thinking" Women are
doing a lot of deep thinking, but
many of US lead lives of sheltered
ease and privilege. We are the one
leisure class in Our republic.

THE FARM HANDS IDEA.

The city folks are goin' to the mountains and the
seas,
For they think that they've been workin' and
had ought to have some ease;
They're shuttin' their fine houses and they're
huntin' other scenes
Some folks don't know when they're lucky or
what bein' tired means.
There they've merely been a-settin' down at
desks day after day.
While some other folks were busy hoein' corn or
pitchin' hay;
They've been leanin' over counters in the shade
down there in town,
Instead of hoein' taters where the suns a-boilin'
down.
Laws If lived in the city mongst the things
you see up there,
Maxim money by the bushel and with costly
clos to wear,
You can bet nobody'd catch me packin' up to go
away
Some folks don't know when they're lucky, and
that's all i got to saw

President Roosevelt does not believe
in interfering with the pleasures of
his children, but at a recent cabinet
meeting the youthful Kermit stalked
bodily into the cabinet-room on stills.
ST guess that's about enough for you,"
said the president as he arose and car

never to interrupt again.
Ethan Allen Hitchcock, secretary of
the interior; James Wilson, secretary
of agriculture, and B. F. Galloway,
chief of the bureau of plant industry,

Missouri state university at the June

addresses. Prof. Henry Van Dyke, of
Princeton university, viii preach the

Senator Hanna daily receives large
number of requests for the autograph

with the same kind of applications. Al
though both Senator Hanna and Mr..

now. I remember one particularly
brilliant occasion-a dinner and ball
given at the white house by my father
for Prince de JoinvilIe. There were &C
guests at the table, my sister Elizabeth
and being the only women.
''The prince, who commanded the
French navy, had been sent over in his
magnificent frigate La Belle Poule by
Louis Philippe to investigate the ru-
mors concerning the identity of a Mr..
Williams, an Episcopal clergyman who
had come to America from France
with Mr.. Boulanger, and had after
ward established a small parish at
Green Bay, which was at THAT time an
isolated province in the region of Lake
Superior.
''It was supposed that Mr.. Williams
was in reality the Dauphin, She son of
Louis XVI. Pamphlets were written,
published and distributed claiming to
establish his identity beyond question.
Prince de Joinville brought miniatures
of the Dauphin to America, and he and
his staff were bent on leaving no st one
unturned to unearth the mystery.
Before they had succeeded in pushing
their Investigations very far the bot
tom fell out of the whole matter, Ow-
ing to the report of a phrenologist
who had brought his skill to bear and
discovered indisputable proofs that
Mr.. Williams was, as he claimed to be,
of Indian and English origin.
The dinner given at the white ht use
to the prince before his departure was
an occasion of state. He and his suite
paid a graceful compliment to our
democracy by appearing in simple civ
ilian attire. The princes only decCra-

my seat was between NJ. BarcCurt,
the French ambassador, and the Ger

ing my ears to catch the witty phrases
of the prince. His command of English
seemed perfect, and from the express
sion of the faces near him his sailies
were not unappreciated. Mr.. Fox, the
English ambassador, sat at the right
of my father and the prince at his 9TH

"After dinner, when we had repaired
to the ballroom, the prince came to me
and said: Madam, beg you viii! ex-

A new kind of harvesting binding
Irvine is being introduced among the
Kansas farmers this year. The Irvine
is manufactured from a species of
grass which grows in the Iowlands
of Michigan and is said to be much
superior to that manufactured from
manila or sisal material. The grass
Irvine is much stronger and it is said
it will not be molested by mice and
other field pests. The material costs
the manufacturers practically moth
ing and the Irvine can be manufac-
tured for over one-third less than
that of other manufactures. A Mil
waulzee harvester manufacturing
company controls the new Irvine
company and the Irvine is so manu-
featured mechanically that 1T cannot
be used by the harvesting machines
of other companies.

Must Show It's Authority.

Attorney General GODDARD notified
the attorney for the American Book
company, which secured the contract
for 60 per cent. of the textbooks for
the public schools, that the state
charter board would require the
American Book company to establish
the fact that it was authorized to
do business in the state of Kansas,
and that no contract would be made
with it for supplying the new school
books until the charter board had
passed upon this question. There is
no question but the American Book
company has been selling books in
this state for many years, but the
attorney general is of the opinion
that as the company has no head
quarters in Kansas the sale and con-
tract is really made in Chicago OF
some other city where the company
has headquarters.

Or sweep the hazy sky from gray to blue

That one who passed might stay awhile

all, she likes all forms of outdoor
amusements, and is particularly fond
of yachts, blooded dogs, of the golf
links, and of cycling. She is having a
fine yacht built for her, the gift of her
husband, and will also have a country
seat upon the Hudson, where she will
share in the ownership of the most ex-
pensive blooded dogs in the world.
Her romance with Mr.. Gould, himself
young man of 26, dates back to short
mother and a few intimate friends
were present at the wedding, and the
young couple, distinctive in many
ways, took an unusual method of en-
joying their honeymoon. Instead of
going abroad they spent the first few
days of their wedding tour in New
York, automobiling about the city,
dropping into restaurants for their
meals, and driving on again. Then they
went to Florida and took up with the
winter colony there, and at once be-
came part of the merry whirI of the
society world.
Mrs. Gould is the sister-in-law of
Helen Gould and Countess Castellane,
whom she has met. Helen Gould is ex-
tremely fond of the young bride, and
it was one of her most cherished wishes
that her brother should wed this young
girl. The match was in reality a fam
lily affair, fully approved, for Mrs. Kel-
ly, Mrs. Frank Gould's mother, is a
close friend of Helen Gould.
None of the women in the Gould
family has turned particularly to So
cial life, and the youngest matron is
no exception. Mrs. George Gould
spends most of her time in the Catskills
| and at Lakewood. Mrs. Howard Gould
spends the greater portion of the year
IN her yacht. Mrs. Edwin Gould dweIIs
at Tarrytown. and lives the life of a
country dame.
Mrs. Frank GouId's reputation in the
| convent, from which she has just
emerged, was that of being more than
usually devoted to books, and she still
spends most of her time in study.
