An Argument For
Well Kept Shoes.

"Did you ever notice how much a
good shine will brighten a fellow
up?" asked a man who was having
his shoes polished at a "bohunk"
stand the other day. ut win make
a man feel lot better. Muddy or
dingy looking shoes will do a great
deal towards making fellow blue.
One day recently l ran across a
friend OF mine who was complaining
about being hall sick. His shoes
were badly In need Of q shine. He
wasn't sick-he was just down.heart-
ed, so decided to try the bootblack
cure on him. | told him needed u
shine and asked him to come and'get
one, too. He did 80 and when he
came out OF that shop he was n
changed man. His polished shoes
frightened him up and before We had
gone a BLOCK he was whistling. The
bootblack cure Il n great thing for
the blues sometimes. "-Ex.

The "Tramp Chair. in Maine.
Kansas City Star .

Kansas City Star.
Tramps are numerous these days
in the suburbs OF Kansas City and
persons who are compelled to feed
the itinerants wish that Missouri had
n law similar to that of the state oil
Maine. Under the Maine law any
person has the right to arrest the
tramp begging at his door and Is ex-
pected to deliver his prisoner to an
officer.
To facilitate the transportation OF
the unfortunate "bum" cages on
wheels are provided by the state and
stationed at intervals at farm houses.
These cages are Of steel, rest on
wheels, and are provided with q seat
for the comfort OF weary Willie
while he is being trundled to jail,
There are no springs to the vehicle
and should the road be rough and
the way long the passenger is likely
to welcome jail as q relief from the
tortures OF the cart. This queer con-
trivance is called q tramp chair.

The State Of Missouri and the
Farmer.

Statistics just compiled by Geo. B.
Ellis, Secretary of Agriculture, show
that last year Missouri spent $780,
900 to help solve the problem OF
farming. Next year il bills now be-
fore the Legislature become laws the
expenditures for this branch ofeduca-
tion will be in the neighborhood OF
100000. $4,000 Of this was ex
pended through the Missouri Agricul-
tural College at Columbia. The re.
naming $4,000 was expended
through the three State Normal
Schools. The work done by the
Agricultural College consists OF teach
ing, lecturing to farmers Institutes
and experiments. 100 students were
taught last year and Institutes held
in 147 towns. Important expert,
ments we're also carried on. Some
idea OF the Importance OF these ex,
periments may be obtained from the
fact that through them a means OF
preventing Texas fever In cattle was
found. The work done by the Nor
NAL Schools is that Of teaching. The
most important Legislation now
pending provides for agricultural in
struction in high schools.

Will Work Her Own Farm.

Scientific agriculture conducted by
q graduate OF the Iowa State Agri-
culture college, which is likewise a
girl Of % and weighs just 1O2 pounds,
will be one of the experiments which
the Rosebud reservation in South
Dakota will witness this spring.
Miss Lottie Rogers, OF Boone, Iowa,
college graduate and enthusiast on
the subject Of scientific agriculture,
drew one Of the best prizes in the
Rosebud land lottery last summer.
She proposes to keep it, too, and to
this end will quit society and her am
bitions to be a writer, and early in
the spring will 90 to Gregory, where
her claim is located.
She will superintend the construc-
tions OF house, In which sheexpects
to live with her younger brother.
She will break and plant enough land
to wheat and corn to assure an am
pie supply OF feed for the stock she
will take along, and she proposes to
do this work alone-to do 1t with her
own hands.
1t isn't because she needs to do it,
but because she wants to prove her,
self worthy of the prize Uncle Sam
gave her. Her father is a railroad
official, and Miss Rogers is going to
farm just because 1t pleases her to
have the experience OF rorghing it on
the frontier.

OUR PRESIDENT ACCOMPLISHED
SOMETHING NO OTHER MAN
COULD DO, SAYS BARRETT.
His Position In Recent Peace Neaotia-
tions Stands Unparalleled In
History Of tho World.

John Barrett, VINO for the past year
has been United States minister to
Panama, and who spent six years in
the Orient, four of them as United
States minister to Siam, and the other
two as commissioner-genera for the
st. Louis fair, reached Seattle, Tues
day morning and registered at the
Washington hotel. Mr.. Barrett had
just returned from Panama and is
on his way to Washington to confer
with President Roosevelt.
He will, during the coming year, be
sent to Columbia by Mr.. Roosevelt for
two reasons. First, to bring about a
mutual recognition between Colombia
and Panama, and second, to straighten
out matters between this country and
the scrappy South American republic.
Mr.. Barrett was greatly pleased
over the news that the war between
Japan and Russia had been declared
off. When shown a dispatch from
Washington to that effect, he said:
IF it is true that peace negotiations
have been concluded successfully, then
too much credit cannot be given TO
President Roosevelt. He has labored
in the face of almost unsurmountable
obstacles and it was a most delicate
diplomatic situation, first to bring the
negotiations about, and second, to
make the end absolute peace.
An Unprecedented Case.
There is no record in all history of
any head of government participant
ing as frankly and as directly to end
a great war and so benefit the world
in general. The perfect confidence
that both Japan and Russia have
shown in Mr.. Roosevelt and the knowl
edge that both emperors had that Mr.
Roosevelt was absolutely sincere has
been a mighty factor in accomplish
ing this happy end.
1.-The conclusion of peace will give
the president and the United States
a prestige never before attained and
never expected. Too much emphasis
cannot be placed on the good that win
result for our trade and commerce on
the Pacific, and especially does that
apply to Seattle, by the end Of this
war.

SIX ARE RESCUED.
Two Women, Four Children, Lost In
Wilderness Near Escanaba.

ESCANABA, Mich, Aug. 31.-Hud-
died together within an open dry spot
but a few feet square, in the immense
BURBERRY swamps north Of this city,
searching party has found six half
starved, half-crazed women and
children, all prominent residents Of
Escanaba, who had been wandering
about since last Thursday. Now all
are safe in their homes in this city,
but it will be weeks before they fully
recover from one of the most frigntful
experiences that can befall human
beings. Those in the party were:

a North Western railway engineer.

Bessie Snow, years old.
Miss Evelyn Doyle, 10 years old.
Child of Mrs. Fisher, 7 years old.
The Escanaba party was camping
near Swanzy and wanted blueberries
for lunch. DESERVING camp, they struck
out boldly into the forest. After what
seemed hours in the thick, small
bushes, with clothes torn and limbs
and faces bleeding, they turned to go
back.
Then they realized they were lost.
The members of the party shouted I'M
til their voices failed.
They walked on, falling, sinking
and several times barely escaped
drowning. Hope gave out and night
fell. They huddled together and the
children cried themselves to sleep.
No sign of help came and the party
gave themselves up for lost

miles from camp, headed into mo
