Complimentary.

We are plea sed to note the very
complimentary notice the Mail and
Breeze gives our former townsman,
7. +, House. McNeal does it in
his own way but it is a very high
compliment, just the same, and
reads as follows:
]. f. House, who reported the do
ings Of the senate during the leglsla-
ture. and writes "Second Thoughts"
and other good things for The Daily
Capital, is a genius and he looks it.
One OF the old masters, seeking a
model of famine. would have gazed Oh
the figure Of House with artistic de-
light. He has hardly sufficient meat
upon his bones to keep them from rat

about ne appears like an intellectual
manlkin or an animated hat rack He
could travel with perfect safety among
the most ravenous tribes Of can nibals
unless they had been driven by dire
hunger to the conclusion that roasted
skeleton would beat nothing.
But Houses leanness does not ex.
tend to his thinking apparatus. He Is
a writer OF marked ability. His per-
ception is keen and his diction is Gle
giant. His paragraphs in the Second
Thought" column Of The Capital are
more widely read and copied thar

opinion they are not his best Dr0duc-

WHlSKEY BEAT HIM.

There was a sad chapter in the story
of one young mans career contained
in one of our Kansas exchanges; the
chapter containing the story of his
downfall.
Not many years ago this young man
came to Kansas from one of the New
England states He had everything
On his side That one could ask for in
going up against the world to make
his own way. He had friends. youth,
health and plenty Of ready money.
And not great while after coming to
Kansas he married one Of the incest
young ladies Of the town in which he
made his home.
But he failed to make good use Of
his opportunities. He went wrong,
dead wrong. 1t isn't necessary to
make a detailed story Of his troubles;
but last week he was released from
Jail, and started Immediately for his
old home back East, there TO remain
permanently His friends are gone;
his money is gone; no one has any re-
spect for him, his wife filed suit for
divorce on the grounds Of ill-treat-
ment.
What did it?
Whiskey.
When OLD Sol Miller was running
the Troy Chief he had a fashion of
putting at the end of story Of the
downfall Of man because Of the ex-
cessve use of liquor this laconic ex-
preston:
"Whiskey beat him."
1t is poor sort Uf line to use as
the windup for the story of a mans
career, isn't it? Yet how applicable
it is 10 the cases Of so many!
1t is no wonder that there is such a
well-crganized fight constantly being
pushed against whiskey. WhisKey
beats so many men that II is a wonder
more people do not take part in this
light aud make it more Intense.
Whiskey will beat any man who
stays with 1t long enough. There ale
various ways in which it can wreck
man, and if it doesn't get him in one
way it will in another.-Mall and
Breeze.

Fables by Tom McNeal.

A young woman and young man
were united in the holy bonds Of mat
rimony and in due course of time son
was born as the fruit OF the union.
The mother, who was more or less ro-
mantle, insisted on naming the boy
Reginald and also on raising him ac-
cording to rule. She had joined one
of these mothers clubs" and got
pretty well filled up with ideas. One
of the things taught at the mothers
club was that an infant should be fed
according to schedule, just so much at
certain time ard nothing more.
There was doctor who stood in with
the main push of this mothers club
and he was called on to fiji out a time
card for little Reginald on his eating
run.
The schedule might have fitted some
children, but it didn't cog just right
for little Reginald. He made all the
roar he was able, but it didn't avail
him anything. In fact the more he
yelled the more the doctor insisted on
a strict diet. He claimed that Regi-
nald was born with weak stomach
and that he must be fed with great
care or he would pass over to the other
bright shore early in the game All
this made it tough on little Reg inald.
His rations were cut down without
his consent and he was loaded up with
a lot of medicine that he in nowise
hankered after. When Reginald was
2year-old his parents took him to
see his grandfather and grandmother
and uncles and aunts. 1t looked as If |
little Reg. was up against it at that |
time. He looked as If he had put in a |
hard winter on short range without |
any extra feed, but his mother was
still staying by the directions of the
doctor and the mothers club and feed

furnished her. Now the grandfather
of little Reginald was husky Hiber-
MAN who had worked on the dump in
his time and who still carried an appe-
tite around with him that would have
paralyZed church social When he
looked over his grandson and saw
what had been done to the boy he
made some remarks that cracked the
third commandment in several places
and then took charge of things him
self. The first thing he did was to
chuck the time card cut of the win
dow aud then he threw out after i + all
the bottles OF medicine that Regi-
maids mother had brought with her.
Then he told the the hired man to 90
chuck those health foods into the
back alley and he would put up some
meat on the infantile bones of little
Then he proceeded to ill
little Reginald up with good rich
cream and chicken and beef steak, all
Of which the kid took to with great
alacrity for he had surely been up
against it ever since the date of his
birth. And from that time on the boy
took on flesh at rate that was aston
ishing tO.see and his grandfather GER
tainly looked good TO him, for little
Reginald had inherited his grand
fathers appetite.
When the boy had grown strong aud
hearty his grandfather made this talk
to Reginald's mother: "My daughter,
IL you expect to bring up children you
had better cut out medicines and
health cranks."

Society BELLE Decorates Her Boudoir
with Many Declarations of the
Tender Passion.

Among unique wall decorators the
young heiress to a million who has COW

offers Of marriage she has received since
her debut certainly takes the lead. But
the desire TO escape from the haekneyed
and commonplace sometimes degen-
crates into the grotesque, as these ex-
amples OF wall papers which are not

house decoration will show, says the
Chicago Tribune
Among the Chinese there is a craze
for postage stamp apartments, but the
immensely of patience required before
he four walls are properly covered In
the minute squares renders II unlikely
as modern American fashion. A Ber-
in beauty. however. has an idea akin
to II. having her boudoir papered en-
tirely in colored pictorial postcards,
collected from every part of the world,
and representing both landscapes and
figures OF every sort and kind. A more
charming originality is that of the trav-
eler. who. when he finally settled down,
nad his room arranged as II a cabin on
board a yacht. with port holes, life
buoys and everything he could think OF
to create the illusion OF having still the
great wide seas tearing past on either
side Of him.

prince of Gambia. and who married the

photographers. Eight thousand wom-

stick the photographs on the wall was
comparatively simple process TO sat

Mime. Nfllson. the great singer. has
papered one room in her house at
Madrid with the songs she has sung
most successfully. A New York dentist
has also hidden his walls in memories
OF his life work But as he could hard
.ly conceal the walls with embedded
teeth extracted from his patients he
has replaced them by playing cards
one for each tooth drawn. He has al
ready pasted 5000 cards-"in memori-
am" An Englishman. on the other
hand. has contrived a unique wall pa
per with travelling tickets-railway,
steamer and street car. In order TO keep
the first two he had always to pay an
extra sum. and even then many strug-
giles ensued before he was at last al
