entered into it's treaty with New Granada.
During that time the governments OF New
Granada ana of its successor, Colombia.
over half a century has shown Colombia
to be utterly incapable of keeping order
on the isthmuS. Only the active inter-
ference of the United States has enabled
her to preserve SO much as q emblance of
sovereignty. Had it not been for the ex-
ercise by the United States of the police
power in her interest her connection with
the isthmus would have been sun
dered long ago. In 1856 in 1860 in 1873. in
1885, in 1901, and again in 1902 sailors and
marines from United States warships were
forced to land In order to patrol the 18TH
mus, to protect life and property and to
see that the tranS4 across the isthmus was
kept open. In 1861. in 1862. in 1885, and in 1900
the Colombian government asked that the
United States government would land
troops to protect its interests and maintain
order on the isthmus. Perhaps the most
extraordinary request is that which has
just been received and which runs as fol-
lows:

Our Evangslists Great Meeting at
Hiawatha, Kansas.

A religious revival has been in
progress at Hiawatha for the last
three weeks which has resulted in
a virtual suspension of business,
the stores even closing in the mid
die of the forenoon on some days in
order that the people might attend
the services. 1t has closed the
joints, put an end to the crap
games, and (most miraculous OF
all) has made confirmed dead beats
pay up their old bills. The town
thinks and talks of nothing else.
The mayor has resigned because the
councilmen are so constant in their
attendance at the meetings that he
can't get quorum ard Ewing Her
bert has found it necessary to issue
a daily edition of The World in or
der to keep up with the movement.
Hiawatha will be better town to
live in for many long year to come
on account of that revival.-From
Congressman Scott's paper, the
lola Register.

Pulling Teeth Causes Blindness

In paper read before the Penn
sylvania State Medical Society, L.
Webster Fox, of Philadelphia, said
that blindness often had it's source
in the extracting of a tooth.
The medium by which the teeth,
eyes and ears are connected is the
fifth nerve. Eye diseases are often
cured by treatment being applied
to the teeth. This is also true
vice versa. The teeth are often
affected by a strained eye, and the
dentists often have trouble in such
cases to find the cause Of the
trouble.

Generous Contributions to the
Confederate Home Fund.

The financial agents of the Ken
lucky Confederate Home have been
Unexpectedly successful in secur-
ing contributions for the home.
Since February last they have col
lected over $4,000.
The amout raised is to be ex-
pended for numerous improvements,
including clothes for the inmates
and furniture for the building. The
trustees have rented an adjoining
building and converted it into a
hospital and hope before long to be
in a position to build and equip a
new infirmary and to put up fire
escapes. They also intend buying
lot, which they will convert into
a Confederate burying ground.
Since the opening of the home
there have been one hundred and
forty admissions, exceeding expec-
tatiOns.

Per Capita For the Schools Is
Fixed at So go.

The der capita for the school
year, declared by State Superin-
tendent on estimates furnished by
the Auditor, is $3.50. This is on
an apportionment to the School
Fund of 81, 947, 1913, and is an
increase of twenty-eight cents over
the per capita of the year 1902.
The estimate on which the per
capita is declared 10 as foilows:

$500 per pupil $1,000, 7oo 90

counties as interest on

Balance to meet expenses of
the office and possible cor
= rections in the census 22,459 "a
Total. - pl,94bloo ~
The increase in the per capita
from $2.32 is due to two conditions.
The per capita last year was re-
duced by the loss of tax on State
banks, resulting from an act of
the General Assembly refunding
to these banks taxes they had paid
under the old law in excess of
amount they should have paid.
The second for the increase is an
increase of about 1912, 900 in the
Sheriffs' revenue for the present
year.

EVERYTHING REDUCED.
Even the Length of Yard Measure
Fulfilled Conditions of Sale.

Large placards, lavishly displayed
on the front of business premises in
a midland town, announced to all
who passed that a big sale, every adj
vantage of which lay with the pur-
chasers, was proceeding within, says
London Tit-Bits. A keen-eyed, mat
ter-of-fact looking matron pushed
open one of the doors and walked in.
"What can we do for you, mad
amp" politely inquired the stylish
shop-walker, as he quickly advanced
to meet her Gas you will have seen
already, we have a big sale on, and
genuine reductions are now the or
der of the day."
"Anyone can see that you an
nounce a sale" was the somewhat
tart rejoinder. Then the buxom
dame added: 81 take it for granted
that everything is reduced. That is
so, is it not?"
Any onlooker who might have
been fairly obscrvant would have no
ticed that danger iurkcd in the lady's
eye, but the shop-walker seemed to
have not the slightest suspicion of
the fact.
eyes, madam, certainly, every
thing is reduced during this SALE"
was the bland reply.
"Well," continued the woman,
with signs of rising anger, 81 wish Id
:nown it before, and then ! should
BOT have bought this piece of stuff at
a shop where things were reduced
quite so much"
"But what do you complain of,
madam" asked the astonished shop
walker, glancing at the purchase
made by the lady.
"Why, I complain of your genu-
inc reductions" came the decisive
answer. "These three yards of stuff
consist of exactly 20 inches to the
yard, which proves distinctly that
among other things you have re-
duced your ward measure"
