The average woman works hard around
a house and her clothes look it.
The uglier a man is, the more he is
compelled to fiirt in order to make a
showing in his love affairs.
The ladies' shoes displayed in windows
are becoming so ornamental that we are
looking for skirts to be worn shorter.
1t is occasionally necessary to make
suggestions to men, about dress, but you
needn't bother about the women on that
score.
If all the doctors say is true. the germs

An Atchison man in a recent lecture

it OFF, asked a man.
Atchison has a new type of woman: she
Is to have a surgical operation performed

We have noticed that the prettiest lula

there is a baby in the house to be sung to

How to Acquire Wealth" was the
subject of an address by Prof William
Windsor, Ii. B.. Phi. D., before the
Ladies' Physiological institute yester-
Gay afternoon in Potter Hall, New
Century building There are two
reasons why a man cannot acquire
wealth, and these are either that he is
afflicted with the poverty disease or he
is in the wrong occupation" said Prof
Windsor when a man finds that he
cannot succeed in his work, then he
should change his occupation, and he
will find that in a short time he will
become prosperous By the exercise
of the brain you develop it, and there
is no feason why you should con-
tinue to be afflicted with poverty or
the disease of poverty" The speaker
classified various occupations which.
in accordance with the science of
s'vftOsophy," are essential to success in
life and demonstrated the fact that,
according to the development of the
virtues in ones character, philosophy
assigns one to the right occupation

Total to be paid by city 81 64.46
IT is possible to arrive very close
to the probable cost OF the h.aSt
Twelfth paving by comparing IL with
the cost of paving Third street from
Monroe to Madison. The conditions
are about the same for each block
The NTunroe- Madison pavement on
Third has been estimated by the CITY
engineer at S1,949.66, of which the
city at large has to pay S377-66- 1t
will be observed that in this case the
city's portion is far less than 40 per
cent, instead of being above that fig-
Using the above figures, it is pos
sible to arrive at a statement of just
what all the paving work may cost
this year 1t is as follows:
Fe eG bgg mayor appioH 14s2 45o5 %
East and West Twelfth 7.717S 2,s42.12
Total 49,. ............ $4s, $500 s17,347 Il
1t will therefore be necessary to is
sue S43,S59.90 in paving bonds if all
the work is done. The idea which the
long as the bonded paving debt of the
city does not go any higher than it
now is the city should be satisfied.
Mayor Bergundthal, on the other
hand, wants the city to stop paving as
far as possible and reduce this bond
ed debt so that a cut can be made in
the tax levy to pay interest on paving
bonds. Some of the members of the
city council are inclined to agree with
the paving contractors.
Keep Brick Plants Running.
Another point which is being adj
vanced by the contractors is that the
city should continue to do enough
paving every year to keep its paving
debt where it now is, so that there
will be a market for the brick which
are made at the two Topeka brick
plants.
IF the city should shut down on all
its paving" said one contractor to-
day, sit would curtail the activity of
the brick plants. These plants are
turning out a good article, and en-
ploying a lot of men. The city can
afford to continue to lay paving. be-
cause 1t is encouraging a strictly home
industry"
There is no doubt that the pavement
on West Twelfth street is badly need
ed, especially since the city railway re-
built its lines. The street between Ty-
Ter and Fillmore is a mudhole. and it
is said that some extensive improve
ments would be made to Bennett fats
and other property on the street if the
street were paved. The question at is
sue between the mayor and council is
simply whether the city should saddle
itself with the S2.S42.12 additional in
debtedness necessary to construct the
Twelfth street pavements.
One argument which will probably
count for considerable in the minds CT
the city council is that having passed
the paving resolutions for East and
West Twelfth, the city must go ahead
with its surveys and estimates. the

It is clear that Wall street does not
yet feel sure of it's ground in the mat
ter of the choice of a president.
Henry Clews refers to the subject in
last weeks issue of the Financial Re
view, but at that time he had not
heard from Indiana. Discussing the
relation of the campaign and other
influences to business, the Review
says: much depends upon the com
ing harvest. Last year we had short
crops of cotton, wheat and hay. ONLY
a big corn crop saved US from more
serious reaction. As it is, the west
continues fairly prosperous. the south
is enjoying more activity than usual.
and it is the east that suffers most
from reaction, the curtailment of in
dustrial operations being marked and
persistent. Wall street is facing two
important uncertainties=the crops
and the elections. In August we NAV
be able to anticipate both with some
certainty. but not sooner. As for the
election, that promises to be less ex-
citing and disturbing than usual. with
