WORK AID PLAY.


Dean McCIintOck Of Chicago uni
versity says the value Of play is not
well understood and that it is ma
lures best method Of education"
Play is undoubtedly natures best re-
storer- Next to sleep it is an essen
tial.
We all know the truth Of the ad-
age that all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy. And in this coun-
try we have a lot Of dull boys, both
young and old, not so much because
they do not know how to play as how
to work.
The average American business
man takes his task too seriously. In
the desire to get rich he forgets how
to live There is too much friction
and too much waste Of vital forces.
Many Of our business men do things
in a slap dash sort OF way They
jump without pause for breathing
from one thing to another. They work
at a high tension and worry at a high
tension. They waste nervous energy
Their minds are in a ferment. They
are feverish- There is a get-there-EIi
glare in their eyes. They calculate.
They gestulate. They all but foam
at the mouth
Luncheon is no let up. They guIp
their vitUals as If they were in COM
petition.
Play2 The proposition would be
thought crazy one. There is no time
to play in business hours, and when
business is over there are too many
other demands.
If these men only knew it, they
could do better work and more OF it
by lowering the tension. A little re-
Taxation would help amazingly. And a
play spell at home after business
hours would renew and vitalize the
worn nerve strings.
However, it is easy to advise. The
fever Of high strung endeavOr is in
the American blood Warnings
against useless expenditure OF effort go
largely unheeded.

Example Of the Noble Animals At

From a book published by DR.. Lud-
wig Butchner Of Berlin, Germany, We
take the following
The horse" said Napoleon, els the
link between the animal and God.
How do we know that the animals
have not a language Of their own? I
think it is very rash to deny it simp-

In the wars Of Napoleon an officer
AIMED Lamont, in e. husSar regiment,
was several times saved in battles by
his horse and out Of gratitude took
more care OF the animal than OF him
self IN 1909 Lamont was killed in
an engagement on the Danube, but
the horse would not quit the body,
and with teeth and hOofs kept OF eY-

matter was reported to Napoleon,
who gave orders TO leave the horse
alone and watch him According to
the statement OF the sentinel the horse
remained with the corpse all night,
and in the morning, having snuffed IL
from head to foot, uttered a pitfful
cry, galloped Of to the river, plunged
in and was drowned

BoURNG INTO ICY MOUNTAINS

Difficulties Encountered in Opening
Cog Road Up Pixies Peak.
From Denver Post
The cog road up Pixies Peak is
now open within a half mile OF the
| summit, and the management ex-
! poets to get trains through to the top
/ Monday. The road is usually opened
| between March 20 and April 10, and
/ this season is the latest in its history.
] Unusual difficulties have been en-
| cOuntered in clearing the track OF
| snow which was piled thirty feet high
/ in many places. It requires from two
/ to six weeks every spring to get the
| road in condition for running trains
/ and this spring more snow has been
| removed from the track than ever
| before since the road was built. Many
millions Of cubic feet Of snow and ice
| have been cleared from the track.
/ At the higher altitude the snow had
| become packed to the consistency Of
| ice, as numerous strata formed, max
/ ing 1t necessary to chop it out in
! blocks before any trenching could be
done
For the past two weeks one train
has been run up the peak daily as
far as it was possible to go, and many
tourists have taken advantage Of the
opportunity to see the huge drifts
and the pillow cutting its way through
them
The first few years the road was
in operation the snow was removed
by shOyelings but the past six years
a pillow especially designed for this
work has been used. It IS made en-
tirly Of steel, and IS attached to the
front end Of the snow car by a swivel
coupling, which holds the nose Of the
pillow to the center Of the track on
track The pillow is provided with ice
breakers, which are just under its
edge and inside OF the 7 rails and the
outside OF the track rail, which act
plOW tightly against the rails, thereby
insuring an absolutely clean and safe
track AS the snow is usually too
deep to be lifted and thrown to one
side, IL is first blocked out by trenches
being dug across the track at inter
walls OF about six feet And then by
saving the snow at right angles with
the trenches two feet out from the 7
rail- leaving a big block Of snow for
the pillow to run under. This block is
lifted and forced back on the snow
pillow by the forward motion OF the 10
connective When the snow pillow IS
loaded il is dropped back to q point
where there Is natural opening, or
where one has been formed large en-
Ough to permit the snow blocks TO be
unloaded- This is done BY undermin-

KANSAS ALWAYS BUTTS m
SINCE DAY SHE WAS BORN HAS
BEEN A ssCOREER.
Her Don Quizote Career Has Brought
TO Her Plenty Advertising Space
Her IdiOsyncracles Stick
Out an Over.

when Kansas was born she but
ted right into hard luck declares the
Lawrence Gazette, which brings an
array Of facts in support OF its state
ment The war cyclone had its cen
ter here, and then there came the
srasshOppers, and the years OF crop
failures
Then there was a dearth Of corn
in the nation, and Kansas took the
contract for supplying the demand
So well was the job done that corn
could not be sold and had to be used
for fuel From a dollar a bushel il
sas fields were covered win an IN
saleable pile Of it
Then wheat got away up, and
Kansas again took a contract to fur
nish wheat for all men, She broke the
records Of the world with her crops,
but instead Of getting a dollar a bush
el, the price went down to thirty
cents, which did not pay the cost OF
production
Tim Kansas changed her tactics
and went into practical politics. The
pOpulist wave buried the state, and
though pOpulism was not a barren
waste, yet political stock went down
Immediately until the commonwealth
went broke on that commodity.
Then all at once something new
happened. Oil from the earth was
worth millions to the people who had
#, Kansas dug down and found IN
limited quantities The wealth OF
! Ophir was at our feet Thousands
Of wells went down, and millions OF
| barrels Of oil came bubbling up. At
once the price Of oil went down until q
| barrel Of il was worth less than q
barrel Of water at harvest time. The
gas, too, which cost millions to the
| people Of other states and commune
| ties, was found, only to be turned
| loose to poison the atmosphere and
wreck the hopes Of those who found
il.
LAS a discoverer Kansas is a hoo
doc. If we should find gold in vir-

mOnetized, and sold as lead on the
market. If cave Of diamonds
should be discovered, diamonds would

NAVIEs OF THE WORLD.

BattleShtp Strength OF Various COun-
Hes-United States Sixth
The British government has recent
" published its annual return show
ing the comparative strength OF the
seven leading naval powers Of the
world. from which it appears that Of
drst-ciaSs battleships Great Britain
possesses So; France, 20; Russia. II;
Germany. 16; Italy, IA United
States. u; and Japan, 5; while Of ar
mored cruisers, Great Britain has "a;
s; Russia, s. Germany, s. Italy, 4 the
ITALY s.; the United States, s; and
Japan, 8. OF battleShips under con-
struction, Great Britain has 8; France
United States Il; and Japan q;
while OF armOred cruisers under con-
StructiOn, Great Britain has 4;
France 2; Russia, 4 Germany, /;
Italy, 8; and the United States, 2. In
this connection we draw attention to
the fact that the argument made in
congress against the construction OF
the two battleships that were recent
" authorized, on the ground that we
have more battleships building than
any other nation, is very misleading.
If our battl eShips were built with the
rapidity with which foreign nations
do similar work, several OF these
twelve battleShips would now be in
commission. It is because we are in
arrears, and for that reason only,
that our list Of battleShipS under con-
structiOn is so large II we do not
continue to authorize ships at q GER
tain rate per year, we shall ultimately
find that in spite Of the large number
under construction at any given time,
we shall ultimately drop behind such
a navy as that OF Germany, which
is being built on a predetermined plan
that calls for the placing in commits
sion OF a certain number OF new ships
every year.

WINTER DAIRYING PROFITABLE
COnduces to Higher Butter Prices
and Cow Is Favored.

COnduces to Higher Butter Prices,
and Cow Is Favored.
The past winter has certainly been
one OF phenomenal butter prices 1t
should fOrcibly emphasize the wisdom
OF paying more attention to winter
the winter previous were rated low
in comparison, but as a rule the
prices will average about a third
higher in winter than they will dur
ing the remainder Of the year. Too
many creameries are obliged to pass
the winter on only small, every-Other
day runs, scarcely sufficient to pay
expenses. It would certainly be as
much to their advantage as to the
patrons to encourage greater milk
production during the winter.
There are advantages other than
high butter prices to be gained by
winter dairying- The man who ex-
knoWs he must have warm, COM
Portable quarters for his cows and
feed them generously Of suitable
feeds. Cows thus cared for have a
longer lacatiOn period, and, by virtue
OF good feeding, Will be in prime
condition for work when turned out
on pasture feed. For winter dairy
ing, cows should preferably freShen
in the fall. When fresh in spring
there is q. tendency for COWS to go dry
early in winter, especially when sup
piled only ordinary feed, and the far
mer's main object then is to pull
them through which means the an
finals are practically in a starved con-
ditiOn when pasturage becomes avail
able, a condition which entirely units
them for best performance, even on
most luXuriant pasturage- No cream
cry can run on the most profitable
basis without a good supply Of milk
the year round.

THAT RURAL TELEPHONE.

Neighbors not so far from here
Put Az telephones last year
Farmers built a rural line
instruments all talked up fine"
All you had to do was ring
Every bell went ting-a-ling5
One for Central, two for BOggs
Short and long call for old iScrOESs.
Every neighbor had his call,
Twist the crank and that was all,
Mighty nice when w0-R was thru
T., 80: sip for an hour ~ i've.
With your neighbOrs one by one,
Mighty nicc-but lots Of fun
When you heard some other two
Telling what -Vss not for you.
Every time the signal rang,
To the phone each farmer sprang
Slyly gIinned, and softly took
Each receiver from its hook,
Other peoples secrets, dear,
Poured iEi-o his large red ear;
How he slapped his legs-'I swan,
'-elephoDing is lots of fun
Somehow in a year or two
Troubles dark began to brew;
FoTIusr Jones; got fighting hot,
Heard ScrOggs calling him a sOt,
Farmer ScrOggs seemed angry too,
Heard Smith telling what he knew
Smith beard Abel telling lies.
Pail him of with two black eyes
Abel heard young Isaac Boggs
Underbid him on his higs;
Boggs o'erheard a sneaking churl
Making love to his best girl.
Women, too, were in the muss,
Raised a most tremendous fuss,
Every one from ScrOggs to Jones
In glass houses throwing stones
Now the line has silent grown,
Wires rusted, poles o'erthrOwn,
Twenty friends are deadly foes,
Each one full Of grief and woes.
Each too mad to speak a word,
Cause Of things he'd overheard.

WHITE HOUSE FREE LUNCHES

In JacksOn's Time the Executive
Mansion Attracted a Hungry Horde.
Robert l. O'Brien in Munsey's
Most Of the presidents have been
men of simple tastes, and their fam
ily life has usually been unpretenti-
Gus. Had they desired a more elab-
crate and ceremOniOus menage. they
would have found themselves serious
" hampered. The white house was
palace to its first occupants; but
conditions changed as Washington
developed from a WilderneSS-SO Mrs.
John Adams called it when she mi
grated from Philadelphia to the new
capital-intO a rich and handsome
city, as the nation grew in wealth and
numbers, as the business Of the exc
cutive Office increased, and as the rail-
roads began to bring thrOngs Of poll
ticians, Office seekers and Sightseers
with a claim, real or fancied, upon
the time and attention Of the Tepub-
lies chief servant, the president
As a result, the white house became
unequal to the demands upon it
Even in JacksOn's time the official re-
ceptiOns attracted unmanageab able
mObs. 1t was the custom in those DAYS
to set out a sort Of free lunch for the
presidents callers. When Old Hick-
DRY first opened the executive door to
his admirers, such a thrOng rushed in
that two great cheeses, which he had
provided for his hungry guests, were
thrown 70 the AOOE ana LEOQQGn INTO
greasy pulp all over the white house
carpets Later presidents made half
hearted effOTtss to limit their recep-
tons to invited guests; but the invi-
tatiOns were stretched tOinclude many
for whom they were not intended,
and others came without any card at
all, on the theory that the executive
mansion belongs to all the people
Not until the administration Of Nc
Kinley was this abuse finally correct
ed Under his regime cards were
made out TO admit only those to
whom they were sent, and they had
TO be presented at the door. More
over people were asked to attend some
particular reception, and not all or
any Of the series. On the other hand
a very sensible innovation was made
in extending recognition to Wash
! ingtOn society outside Of official life.
Before that, a WashingtOnian might
possess means, culture and all the So
Cial qualities, but If he were not an
office holder he was ignored at the
white house These reforms have
been continued under the present ad-
ministratiOn-
