About ten years ago." says the
Emporia Gazette, "a merchant came

figuring how much money he would
have at the end of the year if he
didn't spend any of it for advertising.
The advertising discontinued. Short

along and wait on the trade with one
less clerk.
sin few months time his trade had
grown enough smaller that three more
clerks were discharged. He tried to
brace up the business by adding a
line OF groceries with the dry goods,
but it didn't work. The next move
was to buy a cheaper grade of goods
and sell at lower prices, but that
didn't bring the trade either. His
stock at the best wasn't any.too good
for the town. Between the cheaper

the lack of advertising and with q

the same methods and had a hard

It is not often that we actually en-
counter any romance in this world so
when anything of the kind occurs it
attracts unusual attention, especially
when it happens SO near at home that
the interested parties are personally
known to us.
Some time since a young man by
the name of 81. III. Hanson was in this
county. He was a good steady boy
and fell in love with Miss Anne
Manke, daughter of Henry Mauke of
Jackson. Mr.. Manke seemed to ap-
prove of the courtship and engage
ment which followed, and everything
was running along as smoothly as
young man finally went to Colorado
and went to carpentering. In the
meantime the friends of the young
lady became dissatisfied with the en-
gagement and sought to break it off.
This made the young lady very I'M
happy and resulted in her leaving
home, and recently she took up her
residence with Mrs. Morse of this city,
When she learned that Miss Morse
was to go to Colorado she quietly
made her arrangements to do the
same. She left this city the Friday
following Miss Morse's departure and
Joined her at Garden City, where the
latter had been visiting for a few
days. They travelled together to
Montrose where Miss Morse and Mr..
Harvey left the train and Miss Manke
proceeded little farther to Telluride
where Mr.. Hanson was to meet her
and they were to be married imme-
dietely. Mr.. Hanson is said to be
dong we'll in his business and to be
very estimable young man. ALPS we'll
that ends happily and the parents of
the young people have no doubt for

English women have formed club
which commends itself to considera-

club.
Here are some worry don'ts:
Don't start nervously if a child
makes noise or breaks dish-keep
your worry for broken bones.
Don't sigh too often over servants
shortcomings.
Don't get wildly excited if Bridget
has neglected to dust the legs of the
hall table; the welfare of neither your
family nor the nation is involved.
Don't put too much of yourself iuto
the ordering of the household, or the
management OF servants, or the care
of the ornapents. Let the ornaments
of the house be the friends who fire.
quent it.
Don't exhaust all your reserve force
over petty cares. Each time that one
loses control over herself, her nerves,
her temper, she loses just a little
nerve force, just a little physical we'll
being, and moves fraction of an
inch farther on in the path that leads
to premature old age.
Don't work when you are not in
condition to do so.
Don't go to bed late at night and
rise at daybreak and imagine that
every hour taken from sleep is an
hour gained.
Don't give unnecessary time to a
certain established routine of house
keeping when it could be much more
probably spent in rest or recreation.
Don't always be doing something:

To understand how to relax is to I'M
derstand how to strengthen nerves
Don't worry others, above all
things, by forcing them to share your
worries. Worry is called the Ameri-
can national disease and "American-
tits" is it's distinctive name.

A Sad Accident.

A very sad accident occurred here
last Friday evening. Ora, the four
teen-year-o son of J. E. Gregg, who
recently came here from Little River,
Kans., was struck by the Santa Fe
engine pulling No. l and probably
fatally injured. 1t is reported that a
sister of Mrs. Gregg was expected on
the train and when the whistle was
heard Ora started on run towards
the track. 1t is supposed that he
started to cross in front of the engine
and stopped on seeing a train on the
other track, not noticing the rapidly
approaching train on the track on
which he was standing. The train
stopped for water and the little fellow
was found lying beside the track with
his right leg broken just above the
ankle and his skull crushed on the
right side. He was carried to his
home and everything possible has
been done, but he continues in d semi
conscious condition and little hope is
entertained that he will recover. This
occurrence was particularly sad from
the fact that Mrs. Gregg was very i'll
at the time and she still continues
very low. This accident occurred at
the main street crossing in this city
and emphasizes the fact frequently
referred to that the railway officials
should provide more adequate pro-
lection to the public at this place, as
from the position of the crossing and
adjacent streets it is difficult to deter
mine the location of approaching
trains. The family of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gregg have the active sympathy and
Assistance of many friends who have
known them since their recent arrival
in this community and have learned
to esteem them highly as neighb ors
and citizens.
Later.-As We go to press we learn
that both Mrs. Gregg and Ora are i'm
proving. Mrs. Gregg is able to be
up and the son has recovered con-
seriousness and will recover if no bad

The turning point In life is marked
by deep and memorable experience.
Especially is this noticed N passing
from youth into manhood: from prep
aration into a life Of responsibility
and achievement. 1t comes to the col
lege man and woman with especial
force because of his enlarged and
broadened intellectual faculties. But
before the young man or Young woman
asks What wilt thou have me do;' le,
him say, Come what may. be where

The pertinent question is not how
much education or how much political
prestige or how much wealth man
may possess. but the supreme question
is what is he to do with his talents.
Work is expected from the educated
man. The state has protected, parents
have sacrificed and schools have fost
cred him, and it Is only fair TO expect
that he will give some return to the
world.
That education is not wasted which
helps to better realization of manned
and womanhood and the duties of the
citizenship. Young men and women,
choose some holy, high and noble ideal.
An ideal is the endowment of every
soul. Choose an ideal that is Sd as
cending that you will ever be striving
after it--an ideal that stands for the
best and noblest that brings into ae-
tion every power of the intellect and
every fiber of the brain, and which man
is willing to die for. Focalize your
powers around this noble ideal.
Work is required of the young man
and woman. They must have more
than a determination to do something.
They must think originally and system.
atically. The world is constantly pass.
ing through crises which require think
ers.
The citizen voters must be a class
Of original thinkers who can help this
