slight any work in which she does not
feel any ownership"
There's another thing" Mrs. Vane
said. i've told Mrs. Ward so several
times. She has always had a good deal
of company and five in the family any
way good deal of the time. She
ought not to expect to get along with
just one girl. At the close of a big
supper it is almost half-past seven.
The quickest girl can't wash up all
the dishes properly in less than half
an hour. If she wants to go out some
where in the evening, what is more
natural than for her to do the work
in hurry? She has been at work all
day since half-past six. She works
longer hours and for less pay than
young men in stores get for clerk
service that is not so important by
half as the homework for a family.
Now I'll warrant that Mr.. Ward pays
some of his clerks downtown three
times what he pays the girl at home
Tor almos. twice the hours of labor.
Wouldn't it be better and cheaper In
the long run, Mrs. Ward, to hire two
persons to do your work. at least for a
part of the time? I'm inclined to
think a good many of us expect too
much of one girl. We work them too

KINsLEY, KANSAS
SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.
KANSAS

From the window Of the chapel softly
sounds an organ rote,
Through the peaceful Sabbath cleaning
drifting shreds Of music float.
And the quiet and the freight and the
sweetly solemn tunes
Bear me dreaming back to boyhood and its
Sunday afternoons;
When We gathered in the parlor, in the
parlor stiff and grand,
Where the haircloth chairs and sofas stood
arrayed, a gloomy band,
Where each queer oil portrait watched US
with countenarce of wood,
And the shells upon the whatnot in dust
less splenGor stood.
Then the quaint old parlor organ, with the
quaver in it's tongue,
Seemed to tremble in it's fervor as the sa-
cred songs were sung,
As we sang the homely anthem, sang the
glad revival hymns
OF the glory of the story and the light no
sorrow dims.
While the dusk grew even deeper and the
evening settled down,
And the lamp-lit windows twinkled in the
drowsy little town.
Old and young We sang the chorus and the
echoes told 1t DER
In the dear, familiar voices, hushed or
scattered eyermore.
From the windows of the chapel faint
and low the music dies,
And the picture In the freight fades be-
fore my tear-dimmed eyes.
But my wistful fancy, listening, hears the
night wind hum the tunes,
That we sang there in the parlor on those
Sunday afternoons.

REFLECTIONS OF A SICK MAN

When the doctor comes, he always
laughs at you.
The neighbors never worry about
your illness as much as you thought
they would.
When the medicine makes you sick,
and you complain to the doctor, he
says: That's what I expected;
that's what 1 intended it to do"
When you are hungry you are
ashamed to acknowledge it, and, if
your nurse is very particular, you
are liable to suffer from hunger.
Along about the second day you
begin to wonder that some of the
neighbors don't go out and kill a
quail for you; something delicate to
tempt your appetite.--Atchison
Globe.
When there is a knock on the door,
you think it is an inquiring friend,
and try to look as pale and wan as
possible, and then discover that it is
little girl who wants to borrow
butter

TALE OF A MANILA BEAN.
Trust a Professional Florist
with 1t.

Quite an excitement has been Gre
ated in Kensing by so small a matter
as bean, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The bean was brought from Ma
Mia two years ago by a travelling
agent for large mandatory, who
had seen a tree covered with beauti-
full flowers and beans while travelling
in Luzon, and had secured one of the
pods. Fearing that if he confided it
to professional florist, he would lose
the honor of introducing a new flower
to Philadelphia, he turned over the
bean to Kensington woman, agree
ing to pay one dollar month for its
care and culture until it produced
flowers. The bean has been two
years growing, but is not yet over
two inches in height. Local botan-
lists say it is not bean, but date
seed, which has been planted in mis-
take. The owner, who paid SIP for
one years board for the bean, thinks
the caretaker should now keep it for
company, but she says she has had
three door bells worn out by curious
visitors. Recently the owner dug the
plant up TO see What the root looked
like, and found that while there were
only three inches of stem and leaves,
large 16-inch pot was filled with
fibrous roots. He thought it would be
a good plan to clip the roots, since
which time the Manila bean has been
but little faded flower. The care
taker asserts that in two years she
has served the bean with 1,400 gal
Ions of water and taken 10000 steps
in carrying il around the house, to
give it the full benefit of sunshine.
1t was as much trouble and care as
a baby, only it did not cry at night.

A STRONG STATEMENT.

Star, Wis, Feb. 10th.-Mr Samuel S.
Hook, one of the most highly respect
ed residents of this neighborhood, has
given a very hearty recommendation
to Dodd's Kidney Pills, remedy re-
Gently introduced here. He says:
81 have been a sufferer from Kidney
Disease for some time and found
nothing to help me till began to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills. They gave me
almost immediate relief, and 1 am
now well. 1 have recommended them
to many friends and in every case
with splendid results.
"They are the very best pills for all
kinds of ailments, but especially for
Kidney Complaints"
This is a very strong statement, and
coming from a gentleman of Mr..
Hooks standing and reputation, it
has had tremendous influence in
Vernon county.

Zone girl in the house almost kills
me. Two would complete the bust

ing at Barbara. ''Some of what you
say is very true. But am sure Mr..
Ward would never think of giving as

sand why not, if the service per-
formed is as severe and, more than
that, as important to your peace and
! comfort, and his own as we'll when he
gets home? I know a good many
farmers who think nothing of paying
out several hundred dollars every year
on improved machinery to tighten
their own labor on the farm. But they
think their wives are crazy if they ask
for an improved washing machine that
costs $25 or a few kitchen utensils of
the latest style to save labor. That's
| one reason SO many farmers wives
| are crazy over in Crawford county
asylum. Men expect to pay good
price for competent service in their
business. Why should they expect to
get competent servants in the house
for the price generally offered?"
81 don't think it's the price that
keeps competent girls away from
housework, Mrs. Vane." remarked
Barbara. 81 have figured it out that
even on four dollars a week at Mrs.
Wards I can save more than-I could
possibly save if 1 worked for Bond
that for board, lodging and washing.
If the price paid for competent serv-
ants was raised in Crawford to ten
dollars a week. 1 doubt if the girls
now in the stores and factories would
leave their positions to enter house
service"
81 believe they would, good many
of them, anyway" Mrs. Vane re-
piled with vigor. You can get al
most anything if you pay for it."
"But we must remember, Mrs. Vane,
that the great majority of families
in Crawford cannot afford to pay
such prices for househelp. You have
no idea how much trouble / am in for
paying my girls four or four and
half a week. My neighbors who say
they cannot afford that much tell me
their girls become dissatisfied when
they learn what we pay, and very
often leave because 1 pay my girls
more than other housekeepers."
"The whole question has as many
sides to it as BALI" calculated Mrs.
Vane, rubbing her nose vigorously.
81 think / shall finally go back to
the old primitive way of doing my
own work, living on two meals day
and washing the dishes once. You
needn't stay any longer, Hilda, if
you want to CO."

Dtxciplined Hi. Mule.

A mule in pack train which was

that by lying down when fording a
certain stream and allowing the salt
to dissolve he could Tighten his bur-

with sponges instead, which absorbed
water when he lay down in the
stream and made his burden four

ment. AS for Hilda, she had evidently
been long enough with Mrs. Vane to
be used to her queer ways, and was
not disturbed by her eccentricities.
She shuffled her feet uneasily on the
carpet, and dug the point of very
bright red parasol into a corner of
rug.
81 don't know, Mrs. Vane," she final
~ said, slowly. 81 have no complaint
to make"
Hilda, you didn't half do your work
right this morning; and, if 1 hadn't
come out into the kitchen, The pud-
ding Mr.. Vane likes would have been
burned to a crisp. Wouldn't it?'
"Yes, ma'am," Hilda answered, her
face rivaling in color her parasol.
'And yet you had the clock there
before you as plain as day. What were
you thinking OFF,"
81 can't always be thinking of
pudding!" Hilda replied, with more
spirit than Barbara had yet seen in
her.
There, my child" Mrs. Vane said,
gently, without a particle of impa-
thence or i'll nature, Il don't blame you
much. 1 have let buildings burn, my
self, when / was bride beginning
housekeeping for Mr.. Vane. We must
make allowances for human nature
that can't always be thinking of pud-
dings."
cat the same time," said Mrs. Ward,
with trace of mpatience in her tone,
somebody must think of buildings
while they are baking. We can't be
excusing human nature all the time
for carelessness and lack of attention
to the details of service. 1 think one
great cause of all the trouble we meet
in the whole problem is the lack of re-
sponsibility our servants take upon
themselves. Out of a dozen girls that
have been in my house within the last
three years, not more than two or
three could be trusted to wash my
dishes properly. What can a woman
do when after repeated instructions
and admonitions her girls persist IN
using dirty dishwater and putting
things away on the shelves only half
wiped? We can't always be eXcusing
them on account of human nature.
1t may sound absurd, but have gone
to bed downright sick many time
because my girl would persist in put
ting dirty dishes back into the pan
try" And poor Mrs. Ward heaved
sigh as she looked at Mrs. Vane, who
sat erect and sharp-eyed before her.
That's it'll" she said, sharply. RE
sponsibility! That's the word. But
how get responsibility into class of
people who have no common bond of
sympathy or duty? No esprit de
corps? The responsibility must grow
out of a sense of dignity that belongs
to the service. AS long as the service
is regarded by those who perform it
as mental and degrading, the only
thing we can expect is shiftlessness
and all lack of responsibility"
Responsibility generally goes with
sense Of ownership" suggested Bar
bara. "But l don't see how anything
like ownership can be grated upon
servant girls work. Now 1 wouldn't
dare leave dishes dirty, because of my
mothers training, no matter whose
dishes they were. But can easily see
it is not very strange for a girl to

A CONTENTED WOMAN.

Aside from form or features,
she has an attractiveness all her
own. The bloom on her cheek,
the elasticity in her step, the ring
of her voice, her enjoyment of
life-all these are magnets which
draw others to her side. Wonder
full and valuable as it is, health is
not so difficult a thing to obtain
as some discouraged ones think.
Most Of the troubles of women a
rise from impure blood, impaired
nutrition, low vitality and gene
raj debility. Modern science fur
nishes the most successful of rem
edies for these conditions, namely
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION.
1t is palatable as honey ana con-
tains the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
extracted by us from fresh cod
livers, combined with the Com

and the Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry. Taken before meals
it improves the appetite, makes
fat, restores vitality, enriches the
blood and cures those weaknesses
peculiar to the sex, which are
the seat Of their troubles. 1t is a
blessing to Tired Wives, Nursing
Mothers and Girls growing into
womanhood. 1t colours the pale
faces and rounds out the hollow
chests. In a word, it nourishes
and develops the entire body, and
brings happy surprises to feeble,
hopeless and discouraged suffer-
ers. DR.. f. j. BOyes says: al

typical medicinal success of our
age, for time has proved our
claims are supported by results,
and a remedy which acts in har-
mony with natures own efforts
and processes. No demand has
been made upon it for relief and
cure, that has not met with in
slant response. Effective from

APPROPRIATION FOR
HAWAIIAN EXHIBIT
LEGISLATURE LOOKED TO FOR
BUILDING-GROUND SET ASIDE
AT ST. LOUIS-JAPANESE PLANS.

A meeting of the Exposition Associa-
ton was held this morning in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms, W. G..
Irwin presiding. Those present were
w. G.. Irwin, G. NJ Cooke, w. w. Hall,
A. Gartley. f.. Mott-Smith, j. G. Spen-
Ger, Allan Herbert, w. w. Harris.
Several communications were read
r. w. Irwin announced that the Jap
anese exhibition at Quake was behind
with funds and buildings. The st. Louis
Exposition gave estimate of $4,000 for
the building as designed by Traphagen
Temporary space has been allotted Ha-
wall in an addition of the fair grounds
near lake, 1900 acres in extent where
the Colonial eXhibits-will be grouped.
The Philippines have their 100000 eX-
hibit Immediately north Of the Hawaii
an reservation. Guam, Porto Rico and
Tutuila are in close juNta position.
Estimates from the various commit
tees for the japanese exhibit have been
handed in to the finance committee and
active operations have been commenced
already on collection of exhibits as
planned.
w. G. Irwin spoke strongly on the
necessity for carrying through the mat
ter or dropping it.. The latter would be
dangerous procedure and the senti-
ment of the meeting was that Hawaii
should not be allowed to be the only
one left out of the exhibition while 9TH
er colonies came forward.
The legislature will be asked for a
liberal appropriation and the executive
asked to include such an amount pos
sibly $4,000 in their appropriations. 1t
is believed that the legislature will
take active measures. Copies of bills
which have passed other legislatures
are to be sent here as aids to drafting
local measure.
Architect Traphagen, now in the
states, will be written to asking him to
travel to st. Louis and look over thS
whole situation, comparing buildings
and cost of construction. His expenses
will be borne by the Association. w. c..
Irwin who leaves for a lengthy trip on
the mainland will also visit st. Louis
and take an active part If the legisla-
ture votes an appropriation.
