JUST THE BOOK FOR BOYS OF A

JUST THE BOOK FOR BOYS OF A
MECHANICAL TURN.-The creative
instinct in boys should be encouraged,
when it begins to show itself, and one
of the, best0encouragers that has come
this way is 3The Boy Craftsman, by
A.. Nicely Hall. The book is one that
tells, and shows boys by Illustrations
how to make and do the things boy
is most likely to try to make or do,
and, better still, it gives pointers as to
how boy may make money by max
ing other things; in other words, how
a boys creative efforts may pay their
own way. The book contains chapters
on a boys workshop, the handling Of
tools, a boys printing shop, photog-
raphy, sections on outdoor pastimes,
and indoor pastimes, and many other
things that the thoughtful parent will
see to be Of very great value in the edu-
cation and development of a son.

THE WAY BACK HoME.-Af

LIE WAX BAUM EOMG.-Atter
years Of absence you cannot go back
home by way of the railroads; that
is back to the home where the cole
swimmin' hole'oand other things asso-
ciated with boyhood are: The only
route is by the memory. If you try the
railroads you will be dumped off at a
place that has some resemblance to the
old place, but not at they place you
know. We know, because we have tried
it. There are aids to memory, how
ever, that make the trip by that route
easy and safe. Such an aid is Eugene
Wood IS Back Home.
Mr.. Woods book is remarkable for
the detail of the author s pictures He
seems to have forgotten nothing Of his
boyhood. and as boys are not generally
very original, readers will find much in
Mr.. Wood s sketches to recall their
own experiences. For example, do you
remember how you wanted to go to the
circus, and began to ask Etpa' if you
might, weeks in advance, and how he
would say: Well, we III see,', or, 81

A Writer'S Request of His Master

Lord, let me never tag moral to story, nor tell
story without a meaning. Make respect my ma
terial much that dare not slight my work Help
to deal very honestly with words and with people,
because they are both alive Show me that, as in
river in writing, cearness is the best quality and
little that is pure is worth than much that is
mixed Teach me to the local color without being
blind to the inner light. Give ideal that will
stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the
loom Of the real Keep from caring more for books
than for folks, for art than for life. Steady me to do
my full stint of work we'll can and when that is
done, stop me, pay what wages thou wilt and help me
to say, from quiet heart, grateful Amen.

OLD MEN OF FAMOUS NAME
Authors Who were Productive After
Three Score and Ten.

The tall, handsome, myriad-minded
Goethe wrought at his tasks till he
was nearly SO years old. He pro-
duced the first part of his master
piece, Faust" at 81, says the Satur-
day Evening Post, the second part
when so years old and wrote some Of
his most beautiful poems at IS. Six
OF our foremost American poets-and
all but one in quantity as well as in
quality Of verse-Bryant, Whittier,
Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes and EN-
erson-lived to ages varying from rs
to So, and were productive to the last.
DR.. Holmes wrote in his eighty-fifth
year that time does not threaten the
old man so often with the scythe as
with the sandbag," yet he wrote bril-
liant verse for special occasions al
most to the end.
Theodore Mommsen, the historian,
a man of almost insignificant stature
and emaciated frame, manifested in
his eighty-siXth and last year the en-
ergy of man in middle life.
The earl of Dundonald, though he
was always in hot water and his
whole life was series of Quarrels-
though he performed some OF the
most daredevil feats recorded in the
history of naval warfare, winning
many brilliant victories against enor-
nous odds-lived to IS and wrote his
history of the liberation OF Peru,
Chile and Brazil and ''The Autobiog-
raphy of a Seaman" two most vigor-
Gus, lucid and dashing works, under
the stress of intense physical pain, IN
the last three years of his life.
Sir Charles James Napier, the hero
of Scinde, was 60 before he held any
great command. He fought and won
great battles, governed successfully
great provinces and achieved a great
name long after that period OF lie
had passed when, according to an an
tioue morality not quite exploded, 1t
behooves a man to lay aside the
things of the present life and to pre-
pare his soul for the next.

Shouting Their Praises.

Kirkland, ILL.,, Jan. 2nd.-(Special)
Cured of the terrible Rheumatic
pains that made him a cripple for
years, Mr.. Richard R. Greenhon, an
old and respected resident Of this
place is shouting the praises of the
remedy that cured him, Dodd's Kid
ney Pills.
Il had the rheumatism in my left
limb so that could not walk over ten
to fifteen rods at a time, and that by
the use of two canes" Mr.. Greenhon
says. 81 would have to sit or lie
down on the ground when 1 was out
trying to walk and the sweat would
run down my face, with so much pain.
/ could not sleep at night for about
five or six weeks.
Il tried different doctors medicines,
but they were all no good. Then l
sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills and
almost from the first they brought
relief. By the time had taken four
teen boxes of them my rheumatism
was all gone and can truly say |
feel better than l have in the last
twenty-five years."

ENGLAND FEARS MRS. MAVERICK
ENGLAND Fears Mrs. MAVERICK.

England Fears Mrs. Maybrick.
New York, Dec. 31.-Mrs. Florence
Maybrick's attorney has been inform
ed by the state department that the
British government has strong OBJ
jections to his client going about the
country on lecture tour to expose
the British penal system. The de-
partment made it clear to Mrs. May
bricks lawyer that the scheme must
be abandoned, and all her dates have
therefore been Cancelled.
Mrs. Maybrick had planned CON-
prel.ensive tour, intending to open at
Hartford, Conn, January Is. She had
made a lucrative contract with 4 the
atrical agent and intended to devote
her lecture to discussion Of the alb
uses of British prisons. When Great
Britain's representative in the United
States learned Of this plan he prompt
ly made representations to the Amer
ican State department, which result
ed in Mrs. Maybricks lawyer going 10
Washington.
The British embassy did not set up
its objection as a cause of serious
friction between the two nations, but
intimated that Mrs Maybrick's pro-
posed lectures would not tend to fos.
ter feeling of friendliness for this
government in England. 1t has nc
objection to Mrs. Maybrick, who, u
is pointed out, Is ticket-ofleavc
prisoner, discussing any other topia
aside from English prisons.

It sometimes requires a higher de-

THE LAW VS.. KINDNESS.
Good Samaritan Suffers for .Eccen.
tricities of Ohio Statutes.

Got a buzzard here?" inquired
Charles w. Heyl, deputy game war
den, of Mrs. Frank Edgerton of South
Sixth street, according to the Column
bus, Ohio, correspondent of the New
York Herald.
Eyes, SIR the woman replied.
Want to sell it,"
mo, sir; but you can have it if you
want it."
Can l see it?"
Certainly; just come this way,
please"
And Mrs. Edgerton walked back to
the coal shed, where the bird was con-
fined, opened the door and then walk
ed back to the house. In moment or
two Heyl appeared with the buzzard
under his coat. He showed a badge
and said: Tell your husband that 1
am game warden and for him to ap-
pear before Squire Lakin."
A son of Mr.. Edgerton, who is an
employee in the Panhandle shops,
while strolling through the fields,
found ubzzard with a broken leg.
The bird was fed and kindly treated
and became a pet, running around the
neighborhood as it pleased. When the
family went away from the house the
buzzard would be confined in the coal
shed.
An affidavit charges Edgerton with
having "in his possession buzzard
not then and there being in captivity
prior to May 6, 1902, and not then and
there having the permission to do the
aforesaid act"

MANY REFUSE TO QUALIFY.
Rural kansans Too Busy Making
Money to Hold Office.

Topeka, Dec. 81. - Hundreds of
were elected to subordinate Off
ces at the recent election are declin-
ing to qualify. The places declined
are township offices, such as trustee,
constable. There was time in the
state when these offices were sought
after as eagerly as the county and
state offices. Many township elections
in the past overshadowed the state
and presidential elections. One time
the chairman of the Republican state
committee wrote to rural statesman
in Central Kansas asking how the peo-
pie were lining up on the presidential
and state ticket.
Cant tell" was the reply, That
question is never discussed. The big
fight here is on township trustee"
This is just one instance of thous-
ands that have occurred in years gone
by. But it is different now. Men
were nominated for township offices
this fall when they weren't looking,
and were elected without opposition.
Now many of them won't qualify. I'm
der the law the old township officers
must serve until their successors are
elected and qualify. Many of the old
ones will have to hold over and they
are kicking. The reason for this pc
culiar state of affairs is that the farm
ers are busy making money and don't
care to waste time with the political
jobs. The officeholding microbe has
left them.
