attain them.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
(Fftting In.)


mans to live here, that we give
little care to the gliding years
and let them go by untitled with
sunshine that is free to all.
Those who by marriage or by
birth are compelled to dwell to-
gether year after year often miss
the best of life by little frictions
over little trifes. If their eyes
were wide open and unselfsh
these troubles need not exist at
all.
Family jars are made by the
failure to fit in. A wife coming
from social position a little
superior to that of her husband
though she forgot the difference
when she loved him enough to
marry him-remembers it when
the glamour of marriage rubs off
and remembers it so we'll that
she does not let him forget it.
Yet what are social differences
in many cases but a lot of non
sense ? 1t is where the social
line is least clearly defined that
there is most fuss and demand
over it. Real culture makes no
talk about its rights-it will get
them, because real culture is at
once recognized. 1t would not
get them by demanding them;
for real culture vaunteth not
itself. Pray tell us, vain wife
what good to you is the little
magic circle of folks that you
cannot meet, compared with the
love, devotion, sweat and toll of
the man who loves you and
would give his life for you !? You
are straining after q tinsel toy
that will break up to valueless-
ness in the grasping, while the
real great Joy of the warm sun
shine of comradeship is as free
to you as air. 1t surrounds you.
The man may be the one who
bruises the heart of love. He is
reaching out for more achieve.
ment; he draws his very inspira-
ton from the plain little bird in
the home nest; and yet he for
gets all that she is to him and is
unjust enough to compare her
with others less hampered with
duties-the duties he imposed
and therefore with more time to
dress or to study or to excel. He
would not do the home bird an
active wrong; he recoils from
the thought, but he does her a
passive wrong in withdrawing
his confidence and in feeling that
outside the home is more stimu-
lation than within it. He must
fit in. There is a work side to
the home; there is drudgery in
it; bearable only by the little
patient one who does it because
love to the great man makes it
bearable. To cherish that dear
heart and remove thorns from
is better than to rise one more
rung in the dazzling ladder of
wealth or of fame; for Fame may
vanish in day but love survives
the shocks of time and of loss.
The foundation of the jokes
directed towards the mother-in-
law is in this unfittingness. For
bid, we should lay the blame all
on ner; Tor she does much that
no amount of money could pay.
Her way of doing it may be ir-
ritating, but nevertheless many
unpleasant essentials of home
life get done and done we'll. The
trouble is sometimes on one side
only, many times on both. The
husbands mother is foolish if
she expects the little wife to be
as clay. The wife's mother is on
the way to suffering if she ex-
poets the new man in the family
to be as yielding as her daugh-
ter. The husbands wife is silly
if she expects the distinct marks

SUSPENDED FROM DUTY.
a Ships Captain Charged With Vio-
lation of Neutrality Laws.

New York, Jan. 3.=The Herald says
that under charges based on a viola
ton of the blockading neutral laws
and with the alleged responsibility OF
having given information to the block
aiding force which led to the capture OF
the Venezuelan gunboat Miranda al
Maracaibo on December 20, Captain
Terrill, of the steamship Zulia of the
Red D line, has been suspended from
duty. 1t is alleged that Captain Ter
rill had arranged with the officers of a
German warship blockading Maracai-
DO that if when passing out of the har-
Dor during the day time the Zulia dis
played her ensign twice it was under
stood this would be a signal to the
warships blocking the ports that &
Venezuelan gunboat was inside. Should
the Zulia pass out after shutdown it
was agreed that the stern light was to
be dipped twice.
The Zuna remained at Maracaibo
from December II, until December 20,
when she steamed out reaching the
blockade line shortly after shutdown.
The German gunboat Panther was
about abreast of the ZuIia when Cap
tain Terrill, it is alleged, called his sec
ond officer, John Crazzo, and instruct
ed him to take the steamships port
and hasten aft and lower the stern
light twice.
Captain TerriI declares the assertion
that he signalled the German warship
is false.

CHICKENS ARE HERE.
Advance Guard of Fine Poultry
Show Fowls Arrives.

All day today the men in the employ
Of the State Poultry association have
been hauling in barnyard fowl of every
persuasion and placing them inside the
Auditorium where another set of men
are arran ging the show coops in position
upon wooden trestles. Chickens are
coming in from all directions, accom-
panied by turkeys, ducks, pigeons and
other kinds of birds to take part in the
annual display of poultry which COM
meEces Monday.
It is a fine lot of birds and there are
already enough of them to constitute a
fair little exhibition, but they are not
all here yet. After the jolting and hust-
ling together that the coopful of birds
receives en- transit the final stop under
the spacious ceiling of the Auditorium
must occasion a feeling of considerable
relief It does not take much time for
the. chickens to get used to the new
surroundings and they cackle and
scratch with undisturbed tranquility
when the coop is placed on a firm foun-
dalton. That is one thing that makes a
chicken display interesting; the birds do
not wear the frightened and uneasy ap-
pearance exhibited by Gagged ouadru-
peds.
In talking over the chicken show bust
ness one of the officers of the associa-
/ ton who has long been an ardent chick
en- fancier and is now secretary Of the
4 State Poultry association. said
IF people realized the Importance of
the poultry industry in Kansas they
would have better appreciation for the
displays made by the state association.
In our show we consider ourselves doing
well if we break even in the expense. 1t
is our aim to do this. and no more. al
though we came out last year with q
few dollars ahead in the treasury. Just
now the idea is to build up a fine annual
exhibit of chickens and after the bust
ness has grown so that our exhibition
is attended by all the poultry growers
in the state, there will be no worry
about the financial end Of it. The past
successes of chicken shows here is at
! tributable to the fact that premiums are
paid promptly and the limitations upon
exhibitors are inconsiderable.
Every year the poultry industry
| brings into the state more than three
millions of dollars. AS a general thing
the grade of poultry raised is not high
but it is coming up every year and with
it is coming up the total receipts from
! the industry. Eggs are sold low, the av-
erage price being below ten cents Del
dozen and the output amounting tC
more than $50 cars a month. From the
sale of eggs alone, according to stats
tics. we get nearly $1,175, 900 a year
Along with this goes an annual income
of 81 $50 600 from the sale of live anG
dressed poultry. You can see that the
chicken business is not to be sneezed al
and really deserves every encourage
rnentH
