PLUMES AND HEAVEN.

The Rev. John Brown. who is con-
ducting a protracted and successful re-
vival at Wabash. Ind, startled his con-
gregation not long ago by declaring
it to be his conviction that no woman
who wears plumes in her hat can ever
hope to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Four women who occupied pews in
the church, upon hearing this, left
their seats, tore the Dlumes from their
hats, cast them into the stove, return
ed to their places, resumed their
close attention to the discourse. and
were properly commended from the
pulpit for the sacrifice they had made
Whatever may be the spiritual situ-
alton in Kokomo. and we fear it is
not wholly satisfactory, it is at least
Indeed. the fact that in a large con-
congregation only four women
wore plumes in their hats. and that
these quickly abandoned the frivolous
adornments to the flames upon learn
ing of their peril, is sufficient to prove
that the Rev. Mr.. Brown had already
succeeded in arousing better sentiment
to pitch which it has probably never
attained in Kokomo.
The only regret, if there be room for
any regret in this connection. is that
the good news does not come from
the latter place. rather than Wabash:
for kokomo, as we all know. has long
needed the spiritual uplift which will
produce results of this character. ko-
komo is not vicious town. in the
general acceptation ef that term, but
it is frivolous to a degree which. to
say the least. is deplorable

plumes are worn there, but it is a

THE KISS KILLERS.

"Haye you read" asked HiWatha,
How the daffy legislators
Have been jumping onto kissing?
Have you seen the resolutions
introduced by them to throttle
Or discourage oscuIation?
Years ago, when Minnehaha
Was a maiden fair and graceful,
| was often at the wi9wam
OF her dad, the arrow maker.
And you bet your Uncle Dudley
just improved each shining moment
Like bee, | slipped the honey
From her rosy lips, and never
Overlooked a bit, that's certain.
"Now I'm growing old and heardened
But | have sweet recollections
Of the good old cosy corner
In the arrow makers wigWam,
And | don't begrudge to others
What ] once was very fond OF.
I'm not like these hoary-headed
Senators who can no longer
Feel a thrill of eXultation
When their lips collide with others.
And who would therefore abolish
Oscillation altogether.

Trials of Leading Lady.

Miss Minna Blakiston. whose good
nature is unbounded, has been meet
ing with some most amusing expe-
riences during special engagement
for three days in Scotland. She was
sthe lead in the production of a new
play by new author, and the ingenue
was an aspiring young lady of great
local popularity. On the last night,
after a dramatic scene with Miss
Blakiston, the ingenue was about to
leave the stage when an enormous
bouquet was handed up to her fro1p
the rchestra--cheers. smiles, bows,
exit-and poor Miss Elahiston had to
Gegin an emotional speech With these
words: How welcome VS. the in
terruption!' At the beginning of th .
third act another local favorite made
his entrance; he only played bstler,
but was given reception by lhe au-
dience which the greatest tragedian
might have envied, followed By the
gift of huge cabbage which was
thrown onto the stage-and then Miss
3lakiston was obliged to continue the
agony of a highly fearful scene

NEW WAY TO FIND WATER,
Electrical Device That Outdoes Witch
Hazel Wand.


Electricity has put the Witch-haZel
wand and other methods of determin-
ing the presence of water under
ground out of business. Experts have
patented little electrical device
which tells surely Of the proximity of
water When it's needle begins to
show vibrations it can be stated posi-
lively there is water beneath.
Officials of the geological survey
have become SO impressed with the
invention that they are giving it a
thorough test The lew water detec-
tor is something like the seismograph
used for determining earthquake dis
turbances.
By it's vibrations the presence of
subterranean streams is not only de-
termined but the volume and direction
of the flow are also accurately re-
corded.
This instrument will be of great
value to the irrigator and farmer, as
= will enable him to drive his wells
where he will find water. Frequently
immense sums of money are expended
IN drilling artesian wells, which after
being bored hundreds Of feet are
found to be dry
In tests made with the new cleo
trical device steel rods are driven a
short distance into the earth and at
tached to the machine. There is an
attachment something like the tele,
phone receiver by which the vibra-
tons are converted into sound waves
The device will not work satisfactor-
lily in regions where there are vol
canoes.
The officials of the geological sur
vey believe eventually the device can
be used to indicate the presence of
oil, but the vibrations caused by Oil
are not so great as those set up by
water.

AMERICANS DISEASED NERVES

A German physician who once came
to this country to practice was soon
so bewildered by the various nervous
ailments he came in contact with
that he punched them all together,
and called them "Americanitis.'
1t is commonly said that Americans
overwork their brains and bodies, but
it would be truer to say they misuse
their bodies. If they run to catch
train; if they start out for health
full exercise; even if they lie down to
sleep, they throw so much wasteful
energy into these acts that they act
ually impede the muscles. This is
pre-eminently true of American wo-
men. and of American women cf lei@-

see a woman who lies supine like q
little child, who allows the bed to
take the responsibility of holding her
up Instead she holds on to the bed,
she grips the pillow, draws up her
knee, tightly clenches her teeth. In
her busy brain she goes over and over
again the little round of her day, or
she tastes in anticipation the troubles
of tomorrow. Even after she drops
off to sleep she continues rigid and
contracted, for long years of habit
are too much for old Mother Nature.
What is the result of this hurry and
waste that arrives at nothing but
wrinkles, WEAKNESS and loss of feXi

PigeOn-HOle and looking out at a Tin
Roof had lost all Rarity and Charm for
Horace.
He had gazed into the barren Future
and made up his mind to Marry, even
if he had to choke some Nice Girl in
order to force her to say Yes" He
was all keyed up for Matrimony and
she next thing to do was to choose the
Lucky Bride.
Horace had done more or less re-
hearsing and he was wise to the Fact
that it is just as easy to love a Girl
who has the Coin as it is to get dippy
over the Honest Working Girl. Some
Men imagine that the Foxy Play is to
grab off something that never owned
any Sunbursts and Sable Wraps, and
probably she will De satisfied with De-
partment Store Turqoises and Imita-
ton Lambs Wool.
But Horace observed that these who
never had been strong enough to throw
on the Lugs while they We're living at
Home, were the very ones who put
Crimps into the Bank Account before
the Honeymoon played out.
Horace often suspected that some of
them looked up merely to get % Whack
at the Finery. But then, Horace was
a regular old Cynic.

about his Family. She seemed much
relieved when she learned that he had
Relatives in Virginia. Horace knew
that part of it would be all right-un-
less she should happen to see the Rel
atiVeS some day.
She told him why a House was
preferable to a Flat and scratched two
or three Of his Suggestions for Ushers.
After letting him know that he would
cut but little ice at the Ceremony, she
suggested that he go over and make
himself solid with Uncle Samuel, be-
cause he had been accustomed to hold
Lucille on his Knee when she was a
mere Tot.
And, OF course, that gave him right
to butt in on all Family Issues.
Uncle Samuel asked Horace what
Church he attended regularly. The
only thing that saved Horace was that
he happened to remember the Name of
a Church Horace tried to side-step
the Questions about Drinking and
Smoking. but Uncle pinned him down
SO he said that he had been tempted
but he had not fallen, as yet.

Horace heaved a Sigh of Relief and
believed that he had clinched all the
Preliminaries. Not so; he had forgot

An Employe can go on the outside
and do almost anything and the Firm
will not interfere, but the Minute he

After travelling the Beat for a month
and putting down Names in his Pocket

Mark around the Name of Lucille and
the same Day he sent her some Orchids

of the Affair Lucille was all around

although Horace had been lovely to
her, and she esteemed him as one of
her dearest and kindest Friends, there
was really and truly nothing doing.
Consequently, every one could see how
it was going to turn out.
Horace had fondly supposed that the
Recipe for becoming engaged was SIM
ply to warm up to the Girl until he
could Hold Hands without using Brute
Force, and then wait for the Psyche

Lucille looked up into his Eyes and
said he was different from any other

The act is causing dismay in the
night clubs which abound in Soho and
the East end. They are bogus clubs
and are run merely for the purpose of
evading the licensing law. Heretofore
the punishment of violation of the
old law only amounted to fine, which
was cfeerfully paid. Now that impris-

matter in charge thereupon resolved to
discontinue the sale of intoxicating
drinks, and forego the profit derived
therefrom.
Another clause in the act provides
ready means by which husbands may
escape drunken wives, and wives

ness is now made a ground for legal
separation. Many have already OBJ
tanned relief from their marital ties
through this section, the first two cases
in London being Sir G. A. Lawson and
a street cleaner, both Of whom were
afflicted with drunken wives.
The saloonkeepers complain bitterly
as to what is to be the test of drunk
enness, but their trade society in Lon

NEW LAW GIVES
DRUNKARDS PAUSE
Makes London Saloonkeepers
Live in Fear-Excites
Carrie Nations Envy.

LONDON. Jan. II. = The greatest
feature of the new year is the licensing
act, which went into operation on Jan
1. The newspapers yesterday and to-
day printed columns as to how the
new law, which carries terror to the
hearts of habitual drunkards, was ap-
piled.
The law keeps the proprietors of
saloons from the opening to the clos
ing hour IN a condition of nervous APP
prehension. 1t invests the police with
power that even Carrie Nation might
envy, and promises to overwheIm the
police magistrates with a new class of
work. The principal malcontent now
perhaps is the haAftual drunkard. For
merry the police could not touch such
man or woman, no matter. how drunk
they might be. unless they were also
disorderly. Now, under the new law,
anyone found drunk in any public
place may be arrested, prosecuted and
punished. -
Three convictions within twelve
months constitute AN habituaI drunk
ard" Already from all parts of Eng
land reports are coming Of -habitual
drunkards being blacklisted for three
convictions, the law being retroactive.
The following is typical example of
the application of the new. law:

to your home. Light
bread which keeps fresh

its use. A poor cook does
better with Ben than
with any other flour. A
good cook who has worked
hard to make light bread

will be delighted with the

by Ben-Hur.
When we buy wheat to
make Ben-TIur Flour we
select the choicest grain
grown in the great North
west. Before this wheat
is crushed it is thorough
ly washed by special ma
chinery. After it is made
into flour it is handled
and packed in inspected
cars by intelligent men of
life long experience and
every barrel is tested be-
fore it leaves our mills.
All this because we want
every pound of Ben-Hur

economy. Ben-Hur Flour
costs you no more than
the inferior kind. If it
isn't better you need not
buy it again.
