A man is not q home-maker. BY a

that noble specimen of the kind the
Lord of Of creation" who so thoroughly
enjoys home and wife and native land,
but. who. when left to himself degener-
ates into-well say a very untidy, un-
kempt sort of creation. He can see dust
and cobwebs however and he can feel
sticky china and silver and he is not
slow to call attention 70 them though
by so doing he harroWs the soul of the
woman responsible. But enter build

tobacco smoke-Sometimes stale beer or
stronger fumes. What do you breathe?

comfortable by man alone. En- pasSant
when we meet one of the Lords who
sews and cooks and does spring-clean-

him for husband. But that psychology

Here we are talking about the habita-

must not be brought up in houses kept
by their father and brothers. They
must not be taught in school houses

any country school houses where the
teacher is a man. Look and you VIII
see a rusty stove so overlooking with
ashes that the floor and the box of filthy
sawdust are covered with them. She
rust on the stove is not the dgliest
stain. The teacher needs the comfort
of his tobacco and he has not always
succeeded in his effort to direct the
stream of AMBER within. The dark
corners of the building are no longer
right angles, for they are rounded by the
dusty accumulations of many terms. The
literary efforts of many Salles and
Johns are calmly waiting there to be
resurrected by coming Armies and Jims
who find and give to the world anew

NOTICE.

At "A meeting of the city council. held
September 2, 1902. the following resolution
was presented and adopted:
Whereas, 1t Is very desirable that uni
formity. should be secured as fast as pos
sible in the Improvement of the street
parkings in the city of Topeka; and,
Whereas, The board of park commits
sioners has rendered to the citizens of To-
pel<a the services of the superintendent of
public parks for the purpose of having him
advise with them and direct uniform Inn
the setting out and trimming of trees, the
only expense being the actual cost of la
Dor and material necessary.
Wherefore be it resolved, By the mayor
and the councilmen that we earnestly
recommend to, the citizens of To-
peka that they accept the ser
vices of such superintendent and make
Improvement in their parks under his d.
rection in order that uniformity in such
improvements may be secured.
