Couldn't Face The Music

A man who had been careless ABOUT
his spiritual welfare all his life lived
near a man whose fad was learning to
play on the violin. The man couldn't
play lick, but he supposed that he
could. and that all he needed was
practice in order to rival the best OF
the celebrated violinists. Finally the
worldly man concluded that 1T was
time for bin to be preparing for the
future world. He went TO minister
of the Gospel and asked him to explain
his theory of theology and descrloe
the glories of the future existence:
"You will" said the preacher, "if
you are prepared to enter that oetter
country, be admitted at once TO tne
heavenly choir and furnished WIN
harp and will be continually employee
in giving praise with music ana
song"
zone question, said the inquirer;
"Brown is a member of your churcn;
will he be on hand with his harp"
II feel sure that Brother Brown Will
be one of the choir" answered the
preacher. Brown always paid MS
subscription to the pastors salary
promptly.
"Well, parson that being the case,
YOU can lust count me out. II l have
to listen to Browns music through
all eternity if 60 to heaven l will
Just chance it in the other place.
There can't be anything there that
will be worse in the line OF music than
Brown will make. have to stand lot
enough OF his playing here on earth. "

Circuses Pay for IDEAS.


Grip Van Wrinkle was lucky man
can be appropriately said of any one
who will present new idea that IS
practicable to the managers Of big
circus.
A thorough reseach of the archives
of historic records will not discover
any record of man achieving In the
ancient arenas any feat that is entitl-
ed to comparison with the present
acts seen with big modern circus
like the Wallace Show.
1t is only Of recent years that men
have made a study Of devising and
executing new and sensational gymnas-
tic tricks Of various sorts. The clown
who thinks Of new trick to generate
laughter will be literally repaid.
The performer who originates an idea
of difficult and new act will be
handsomely rewarded by big salary.
There is no business or profession
among men which pays as we'll for
new ideas as that Of the circus.
1t is because the proprietor of the
Great Wallace Show insists on having
the very newest acts that his show is
not only unusually expensive and
popular but it gives a program far
ahead Of that given by similar shows.
A visit to the Great Wallace Show
when it exhibits in Chanute on
Saturday May 81 will verify the as
sertiOn.

The Flsod Situation.


Az the food recedes and the havoc
wrought becomes apparent, the loss 10
found to be much more serious that At
nrst supposed,
The levees all along the river seem
to have broken and let the floods
cover all the rich bottom lands with
their growing crops. The water rose
50 rapidly that much stock was canght
In the floods and drowned. Many
families barely had time to escape the
floods themselves with no possible
opportunity to look after stock or
other property.
Thousands of acres Of the best farm
land In the county is inundated and
the crops totally destroyed, The
river rose 10 inches higher than last
year. There is yet this advantage,
there is yet time to plant corn on the
bottoms and raise good crop II the
water recedes In reasonable time.
What glorious opportunity the
bottom farmers will now have to raise
big crop of broom corn on this
flooded land.
Humboldt, lola, Erie and Fort Scott
all report very high waters and much
damage done. So far no loss of life is
reported. Chanute had no mail
service for some days, all trains hav-
ing been tied up.

Quite a Fire.

THURSDAY night of last week the
fire boys were called out by fire in
the third ward. 1t developed that
the barn of w. E. Modlin, at the
corner of 3rd and Garfield has been
struck by lightning and was in flames.
The barn was destroyed but as the
fire started in the gable, the owner
and neighbors had time to get out the
5 head OF horses, and other material
from the lower floor.
The boys were again called out
towards morning by the burning OF a
barrel of trash It the rear OF Boschert
& Williams drug store. No damage
this time. This blaze was suppose to

BEAUTY AND STRENGTH.

Are desirable, You are strong
and vigorous, when your blood is
pure. ManY-nay, most-women, fail
to properly digest their food, and so
become pale, sallow, thin and weak.
while the brightness, freshness and
beauty of the SKIN and complexion,
depart. Remedy this unpleasant evil,
by eating uourishing food, and taking
a small dose of Herbine after each
meal, to digest what you have eaten

Arkanshs State NfYs
Former wealthy Man Suicides.

Benjamin Mckenzie, well
known merchant at Swan Lake, in
Jefferson coifnty, gificffed by'sshoot-
ing himself through the, heart. A
few months ago Mr.. Mckenzie, who
was once considered a; rich man,
filed a petition Of voluntary bank
ruptey in the federal court at Lit
tie Rock and was in due time adj
judged a bankrupt. He was seem
ingly in good health and cheerful
spirits when he walked into his store.
Two reviewers we're lying on desk,
and, selecting one of these, he de-
liberately put the muzzle to his
heart and pulled the trigger before
his friends knew what he was doing.
The man never uttered a word and
those who saw him were too late to
prevent the deed.

ON OUR LADY OF RADIUM
Observations of Israel Zangwill Re
:. garding It's Inventor, Madame
Curie -

, Perhaps scarcely less pregnant
for humanity than theparadok-of
Iradium is the paradox Of its dis
coyeress you see, even language
has nptEet adapted. itself to fem.
inine deYel9pments). If, as Ibsen
says, "the new generation is
knocking at the door" most FER
emptory Of all is the knocking'of
the new generation of women,
says Israel Zangwill, in the Read
ersMa gazine-Y ettMadame CuYie
is by no means q, new woman"
She has none of the traits of that
bogy creature which the eternal
maseulipe," fearful for its secular
dominance, created from the miSts
of its own jealousy and terror.
Sklowdowska curie is not even a
blue-stQckings but a graceful crea,
Eture with all the romantic charm
of the Polish woman; she loves po-
etry, and her taste in literature is
as delicate as her electrometer.
Nor has she despised maternity,
for she has little girl, who is to
her more rare and radiant than
I:radium itself. There is no doubt
that the modern woman has come
TO stay, and the sooner man ae,
commodities himself to the new
sex-the better. ~.
