What Really Takes Place When tho Kansas Man Visits the
 White House.

Hutchinson (ISan.) News
 Every day the dispatches announce that ''Ths Hon. .Mr. Prominent Kansan. of Kansas. was escorted to the White House by Senator Blank or Congressman soandso and met tho Presi- dent"
 This item means to most of the Kansas reed. CTS that the Hon. Mir. Kansas was admitted to the Presidents office under the guidance of one of our statesmen and that there he was given a cigar. a good seat, end. together with the President and the Senator or Congressman. discussed the weather. the Panama Canal the price of hogs, and probably the political situation in Kansas.
 But 1t iEn't that way. The facts are that the prominent citizen of Kansas accompanied by his Senator or Congressman fell in line in the ante-room of the Presidents offics about 10 o'clock in company with hundred or more distinguished citizens from other States, &C., c0mpanied by their Senator or Congressman, and stood first on one foot and then on the other until about Il o'clock, Then c side door opened and Mir. Roosevelt came in look ing like . man who had job ahead he was in O hurry to finish. Beginning ct one end of the line the President rapidy worked his way toward the Prominent Kansan. who was turning over in ais mind just what he would say to the President and what suggestions he would make es to the conduct of the Gov ernment. When the President came to Mr. P. Kansan he gave him an exhibition of those famous white teeth. and as the Senator or Congressman said, 'Mr. KanHan," the PTesl- dent said. "Delighted to meet you." with the accent on the "De" and with 6 warm grasp of the right hand reaching at the same time with his left to the next man, prominent Me- braskan and repeating to him Delighted to meet you" same smile and same accent The President is at the third man and out of hear ing before Mir. Ransan gets his breath and realizes that 1t Is all over and Mir. Roosevelt will not have the benefit of the information that he really ought to have.
 That Is the way the prominent Kansans who 20 to Dashington meet the President"

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON

1 God is pleased at the self-obliviousness of the suppli t king. Having first sought the Kingdom ot God and his righteousness other things are added-long life. riches and honor.
 | The Teachers Lantern. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Chamberlain rode in haste by night ' from Windsor to Kensing; on to announce to Victoria her accession to the throne. The princess was just about Solomon's age. Her first words were. T ask your prayers in my behalf" Together the it. tie company knelt on the palace floor, In the gray of the morning, as the prelate prayed that the young queen might have an understanding heart to jud ye so great people. Is there no connection between that prayer and reign phenomenal in It's length and honor?
 Strange blessing on the nation lies Whose sovereign wept-
 Yea. wept to wear its crown.
 See. incidentally. the advantage of church attendance. It was on holy ground, within the sacred precincts of the tabernacle, that heaven came down to meet the young kinw. His enyir ,n- ment was no small factor in his wise choice. The service in which he had en- gagged strengthened his faith in God, and his purpose to be serviceable to his fel- lows.
 At this period Solomon stands forth as the ideal civil magistrate. Personal in- terest in him is subordinate to the public good. This is the essence of civil service. What transformation would com, over affairs national. state and municipal if in every instance it was the offceh0lder's s foremost and constant purpose to dis charge his function well!
 ! Solomon was in this instance an excep- tional man. not for his day, but for ours as well. Take any ten men, and try them by the test put to the young king after his coronation. How many would dc line wealth. honor. long life, and just ask that they may be able to fill we'll the sphere Providence has assigned them to? Yet that was the essence of Solomon's choice

sILkEN cLoTHEs-HANeERs.
They Have Advantages of Their Own
 and May Also Be Decorative.

From the New York Sun.
 Girls who like to practice new arts are making silken clothes-hangers for their men friends and themselves.
 The ordinary wooden or metal hanger, it is found, rubs the lining of a fine coat or jacket often hung upon 1t. So the hanger is wound with soft silk or satin ribbons, applied so deftly as completely to cover the foundation, yet not add to the size.
 A monogram embroidered in various shades of the same color or in a contrast ing hue gives a fine finish to the impie- ment. Thus a hanger wound in slate or dove color may have the decoration in silver; or if wound in dark green, the monogram may be in light azure or deli cate leaf green.
 Girls of economical turn use bias strips of linen or holland instead of ribbons embroidering the initials in linen floss instead of silk, and, if the hanger so covered is for feminine use, introduce a delicate perfume in the thinnest cot ton wadding underneath.
 Besides the dainty appearance of these domestic-made hangers. they serve a real need in summer, when the wood or metal is apt to stain the light lining of dress waists, particularly of walking or dancing costumes which have been sub Jected to the heat of the body.
 Very many dress hangers now are made of aluminium, light to carry about and non-corrosive. Others are nickelled Even wardrobe hooks are nickelled In or der to prevent damage to delicate wear ing apparel.

RlTUALISTIC PRACTICES
 DESCRIBED IN DETAIL
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 Interest in the advance of rituallsm in the Episcopal parishes of this city may be counted on to revive at regular peri ods. The succession of a clergyman to the Catholic church, the opening of new parish church dedicated to the use of this branch of the Episcopal church, or the necessity of discplining a priest who has gone too far in his practice-these are the usual causes which direct renewed attention to the parishes in this city that have always been the most advanced in their use of ritualistic practice.
 These the church of St. Mary the Virgin In West Forty-sixth street and Sr. 1gnatiuss church at Eighty-seventh street and West End avenue For twenty years they have been the congregations that have adopted to the fullest extent all the ritual that the most advanced wing of the church prescribes.
 Other parishes are as high In the doc trines their rectors preach, but do not use the full ritual. The cergymen of Trinity parish, for instance teach every doctrine that is held in either of the two noted churches mentioned, but there are
 
 The celebrant at holy communion wears a chasuble, but it Is made of linen, always white, and not of silk or satin of the color that the ritual prescribes for the season. Nor do the deacon and sub-dea-i con assist the priest in celebrating the service, which is not called the mass in the churches of this parish or in the par ish of the Transhguration, also as ad- vanced in doctrines as any other but is l,a1t, ion.
 But there are the altar eucharistic lights. colored stoles, processonal cross for the boy choirs. fasting communion, auricular confession, acolytes and all the ritualistic features of the full service with the exception of those that are the most striking.
 So 1t is to the church of Saint Mary the Virgin in West Forty-siXth street or to saint Ignatuss that the searcheys for q most elaborate ritual must go, In these churches, as we'll as in others that offer a ritualstic service, the Sarum use. as it is called, and not the Roman use, is employed in deciding the details of the service.
 The Sarum use was compiled by Os- mund bishop of Sarum, when in 107s, he rebeled against the ancient Gregorian | chant and other Roman uses. It regu- | lated all questions of ritual and was soon adopted by all the churches in England, l Wales and Ireland.
 The bishop called his compilation of rules and practices the Custom Book ' 1 It was decisive on all matters of ritual until the Reformation and was naturally revived after the rise of the ritualistic party In the English church seventy years ago.
 The English Catholics. as they like to be called. who have adopted the Sarum use. say that 1t possesses beauties that the Roman forms have lost. Possibly the change is to be noted most striking ly in the chasuble or vestment worn by the priest to celebrate mass. In the Roman Catholic church today this vestment is merely two flaps of silk connected by two bands, through which the priest puts his head. Then the bands lie on his shoulders
 In the Sarum use the chasuble still re-
