HABIT IN READING PAPERS
Almost Every Person Has One Part
He Turns to First

Very old persons" said an observer
nearly always, on unfolding their
newspapers, turn to the column of
Deaths This is because, in the first
place, they are more likely to find news
of their friends there than in the COL
umn of Marriages. or any other part
of the paper, and because, in the second
place. they are interested in death
they have it much in their minds.
Young girls turn first to the society
news and weddings, and after that to
the fashions. Young men of the healthy
open air sort turn first to the sporting
news, while boys universally turn to
this page first. The actor, of course
reads the dramatic columns, and the
writer the book reviews, but neither of
these departments, 1 fancy, does any
part of the disinterested public consult
first of all.
THE elderly gentleman of pompous
appearance reads the editorials first,
while his corpulent, cheerful wife reads
the recipes on the household page.
Some clergymen read the wills of the
dead to see what charities have been
remembered with requests There are
many people who read the crimes. the
scandals, and the shocking accidents
first. Poets, as a rule, will not read the
newspapers at all."-Philadelphia Rec

HUNTING LOST BOATS.
Most of Those from Neighboring
Towns Recovered.

Five boats, the last of those belonging
TO the people of st. Joseph, Mo, have
been found and returned by the Topeka
Commercial club. The boats loaned by
Ottawa during the flood have been re-
turned while the Emporia people who
sent boats have neither been returned
their property or have been paid for
that which could not be found. Several
boats of the entire number loaned to
Topeka for rescue work were stolen.
The five st. Joe boats which were re-
covered last had been taken by differ
ent persons, sOne of them entirely
painted, while the numbers on one or
two were painted over to conceal their
identity. One of the boats was recOv-
cred by a deputy sheriff near the asylum
where it was found by a representative
of the Commercial club in the posses
sion of a tough looking individual who
at first refused to give it up.
Seventy-fve dollars was sent to w.
A. White of the EmpOria Gazette to be
paid to owners of boats which had been
lost. White wrote back that the person
who should take charge of the money
had left town. The money was then
sent to Nit White and later to some
one else. 1t was finally properly dis
posed of. One of the boats sent from
Emporia was brand new. 1t had not
been unpacKed or seen by its owner
who forwarded it to Topeka immed-
lately upon its arrival from the manu-
facturer.
