Occassionly you may discover a man

Occassionly you may discover a man
worth twenty five thousand dollars
who Is too poor to take paper.
Again you will find others who are
not worth a single dollar over and
above their exemptions yet they are
patrOnizing every one of the local
papers. And they are not poorer, but
richer for 10. The rich man, however
Is not richer, but poorer because of
the dollar his economy would save.
Every paper published has certain
standard. Sometime 1T Is bound to
give you an idea which in itself, while
perhaps possessing no monetary value
Is worth many times the subscription
Of the paper. Apart from the intel
lectual side of every paper the
advertisements which every real live
paper carries will often save the cost
Of the paper In the form Of bargain
offers about which they will advise
you. And besides these there are
other reasons why you should take
your home paper. Every up-to-date
person does, and you ought to be up
tO-date.

The legislature Of the State Of Kar

The legislature OF the State of Kan
saS is now doing business. The organ
izStion OF the house was triumph for
machine politics and shows the value
OF organization. What is known as
the Leland faction has control OF the
house and run through the slate which
II had prepared from speaker down 10
the pages. The Burton faction how
ever won In the senate. The election
Of Pringle as speaker does not, as some
may believe, settle the senatorial
question. The combination of two Of
the leading candidates for senator
was responsible for Pringle's election
Both Of these candidates seem to ex-
pect to be the choice for senator, but
Curtis still has the most pledged
votes. No one Of the leaders will
receive the nomination on the first
ballot. BowerSock and Calderhead are
still important factors in the problem,
and IL as yet remains TO be seen what
combinations may arise In its solution.
The candidates are all active and sur
priSes in the final outcome may be
expected.

Barrie and the Editors.

Soon after J. NJ. Barrie leaped into
fame the editors of three London jour
nails for which he had done a good deal
of work determined to give a dinner in
his honor. Mr.. Barrie accepted the in
vitation, and in due course the three
knights Of the pen and scissors and
their distinguished guest sat down to-
gether. The hosts, knowing their con-
tributor only by his work, fully antici-
pated a feast Of reason and a flow of
SOUL" However, the soup and fish
were consumed without word from
Mr.. Barrie, or, at least, with nothing
beyond noncommittal grunts. Despite
frantic efforts to lure him into CONVEX
sation, it was not until he rose to put
on his coat that he made the first and
last remark that he uttered during the
evening. "Weel, this is the first time
I've ever had dinner with three ed
itOrs.''

The Earliest Punctuation,

punctuation by means of stops or
points. so IS to indicate the meaning
of sentences and assist the reader to a
proper enunciation, is ascribed origi-
nally to Aristophanes, an Alexandrian
grammarian. who lived in the third
century e. c. Whatever his system
may have been, it was subsequently
neglected and forgotten, but was rein
troduced by Charlemagne, the various
stops and symbols being designed by
Warnefried and Alcuin.
The present system of punctuation
was introduced in the latter part of the
fifteenth century by Aldus Manutius, n
Venetian printer, who was responsible
for our period. colon, semicolon, COM
ma, marks of Interrogation and eXcla-
nation, parenthesis and dash, hyphen,
apostrophe and quotation marks. These
were subsequently copied by other
printers until their use became unieer-
sal.
Most ancient languages were limo
cent Of any system Of punctuation. We
find in many early manuscripts that
the letters are placed at equal distances
apart, with no connecting link between,
even in the matter of spacing, an ar
rangement which must have rendered
reading at sight somewhat difficult.

FINE YACHTS IN DANGER

half dozen fine yachts, including the
Erin, {. Oliver Iselin's Sunbeam and
the Herreshofs' Roamer were in great
danger for a time. The yacht Eureka,
breaking from her anchorage, was
blown violently against a coal scOw
and carried the scow before 1t. 1t
seemed for a time that the two boats
would crash into the Shamrock III,
which lay almost in the path Of the
gale not hundred yards away.
The ROamer, which was dangerously
near the Shamrock began to drag her
anchor, and despite efforts to hold her
drlfted down rapidly. Suddenly she
swung against the Sunbeam, and then
getting chance to start her engines
managed to get away from the danger

it looked as if Shamrock III would

Captain Barr, on the Sunbeam yelled
to the Shamrock watch: If we can't
hold you'd better pull up and drift
away from U.s." This they prepared to
do, but a lull in the wind aided the
Sunbeam to hold for q while and the
wind began to decrease.

Oyster Fay, n. Y, Aug. 26.-The
correspondence relative to the resigEa-

and confirms statements heretofore
made that the secretary will leave Of
flee some time after Jan. l next. The
president has made the statement that
he rendered the position to Judge Taft
some months ago, and it was ar
ranged that he should succeed Root.
The president also states that Luke e..
Wright, now vice governor Of the Phil

The correspondence shows that Root
wrote the president recently referring
to the fact that the president had as
scented to the sutficiency Of Roots rea-
sons for retiring, and stating that in
Roots opinion his resignation should
be in the presidents hands so that he
could send to the senate the name Of
his successor in November Or Deem

ton, with many expressions of good
will and regard for the president

resignation, begins: ''It is hard, in

great. while the loss to the nation is

day Of their birth they are betrothed tt
a baby boy trifle older than them
selves, and at the age of twenty they
are married.
The girls know of no other way OF
getting husband, and SO they arc

they are patterns of obedience, and the
marriages usually turn out a success

But Her lead Was knocked Cut in the

out balloon jib topsails when they
squared for the second turn. The wind
was so far aft that they quickly de-
cided that instead Of being a broad
reach, as intended, the course to the
turn was q run. Spinnaker booms were
guyed out and the great sails added to
the tall reach Of canvas.
They ran that way for half an hour,
when the Reliance SmOthered her spin
maker, set her staySail and headed for
the mark They made the second turn
as follows: Reliance, 1:17:50; Sham

leading by three minutes, fifty-five sec
onds, having gained forty seconds in
the run across from the first to the
second mark She had established a
margin to her credit of thirty-four sec

The Reliance whirled about the mark,

A Perpetual Sacred Fire.

In the peninsula of Abeheron, for
merly belonging to Persia, but now
part of Russia, there is perpetual or,
rather, what the natives call an eternal
sacred fire which is known to have
been burning continually for more than
1000 years. It rises from an irregular
orifce Of about twelve feet in depth
and 120 feet square. The flames, which
are constant, rise to a height of from
six to eight feet, unaccompanied by
smoke or disagreeable smell, waving
back and forth with the wind like a
field of golden grain.

Natures Protection For the Ear.
The membrane lining the canal of the
ear contains q great number Of little
glands which secrete a waxy substance
having an intensely bitter taste. The
purpose of this is to prevent the en-
trance of insects and to keep the ear
clean, as the layer Of wax dries in
scales, which rapidly fall away, thus
dust or other foreign matters which
may have found entrance to the ear.
