Individual Taste.
Still, however closely one may study the
trend and details of dress individual taste
or good advice are more than ever neces-
sary for a correct appearance. Women
wearing beautiful dresses are seen every
day, but the phrase beautifully gowned"
is rarely applied to them, SO lily does the
choice suit the type. The character styles
are especially hard to wear, particularly
the coats and hats, for somehow a little re-
deeming touch here and there will make a
dress pass muster. But to top a counte-
nance none too young or fair with a hat of
hard and eccentric lines, or to squeeze
thick figure into a ttght-fitting coat, is al
most to sin in these days of exquisite lib

threatened to cause the destruction of
the entire river front consumed the
Riverside mill, Third street and Min

landmarks in Kansas City, Kan, and
causing a property loss of $27, 900. The
firemen reached the scene shortly after
midnight, and but a little after the hre
was discovered, but the wind made the
saving of the building an impossibility,
and they were soon forced to devote
their attention to preventing the spread
of the flames.
The blaze is supposed to have start

seen by Patrolman Jesse Williams,
about 11:30 o'clock. An alarm was i'm
mediately sent in, but the ice covered
pavements prevented the firemen from
making record time. The first COM
pany to arrive, however, realizing the
peril, sent in a general alarm which
brought out every company In the city.
The steamer was also summoned. but
the pipes being frozen, could not be
used. The water pressure from the
mains was good, yet no Roadway could
be made against the blaze.

Chanute, Kan, Dec. 29.-The Uni
versity of Kansas Glee club, which
gave an entertainment here night be-
fore last, now agrees with the Kansas
Natural Gas company that the gas
belt is full of anarchists. incidentally,
the collegians are contemplating omit
ting the word ''glee' from their club
name or applying in Judge Flannelly' S
court for an injunction against horse
whipping by gas belt sweethearts. The
sweethearts deny the charge of law
lessness and allege their action is JUS
titled by the clause in the Cupidian
code that all is fair in love and war
1t all grew out of the invasion of
Chanutes high school beauty circles
by the university boys.
A friend here made dates with the
members of a girls club for the col
lege lads and they arrived an evening
ahead of time to combine love con-
quests with music. The news caused
meeting of indignant SChanute ad-
mirerS. A direct assault was at first
contemplated, but when sWeethearts

to. Armed with whips and breathing
vengeance, the desperate youthful
Romeos stationed themselves in squads
of three near the homes of their fair
JulietS and, goaded on by the sentl-
mental farewells witnessed, they whip
ped the surprised glee club invaders.
One mistake was made. One girl
was true and her Chanute admirer felt
the lash before he had a chance to ex-
plain. Last night the Chanute boys
organized a dance and offered the
olive branch to the girls. The girls
again turned down local talent and at
tended the glee club concert and ban

ever, the university boys travelled in
squads and were not molested. The
club has gone, but there promises to
be a material change of alignment in

The majority of people labor under
the impression that an operation is nee
essary in severe cases of piles, or
hemorrhoids, and are very skepticaI re-
garding the remedial virtues of any
medicinal compound. Testimony like
dency to dispel this impression, although
it is odd that such a faIlacy should pre-
vail, and still more odd that so many
people should think an operation effects
a permanent cure, whereas the contrary
is more often the case.

painful complaint to buy a fifty cent
package of Pyramid Pile Cure at any
drug store and try it tonight
Those interested can not be too strong

WANTS RULES CHANGED.
Il. U. Objects to Playing Football I'm
der Topeka Conference.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 29.-As condi-
lions prior to scheduling football
games with Washburn college and
Haskell institute. the athletic board of
the University of Kansas has asked the
former college to adopt the Chicago
conference rules and Haskell to adopt
the rule of that conference that pro-
h1bits players from more than four
years participation on college football
teams. 1t is said that games will not
be scheduled with these two institu-
tons if the conditions required are not
granted.
The above dispatch from K. U. will
be of no special surprise to WaShburn
people. The Washburns students feel
that K. U. is devoting most of its wax
excuse for not playing against Wash
burn, for fear of defeat.
Washburn may anticipate the K u.
game, however, by entering into an
conference rules. In some ways it
would be of assistance to Washburn.
Among other things it would enable
WaShburn to use Walter Caldwell, the
The Chicago conference rules are sup
posed to be more strict than the
Kansas conference rules, but in CaId-
wells case, they are really more lax.
Caldwell is unable to play any more
under the Kansas conference rules, be-
cause he has played six years. How
ever, three of those years were at the
State Normal, and normal schools are
considered preparatory schools by the
Chicago conference rules, and time
there does not count. So Caldwell
would have one more year on the
Washburn team.
The Chicago conference rules are
supposed to be very severe, but as a
matter of fact they are in some re-
spects not as severe as the Kansas
conference rules under which both
Washburn and K. U. play. K. u,
however, is a member of both the
Kansas and Chicago conference agree
ment.
