Down east 1t makes difference
what you are advertising when you
come to paying the bill. The New
York Herald, OF the present time
(l9O5) will insert three line Situa-
ton Wanted advertisement for q serv-
ant maid for fifteen cents, but will de-
mAnd thirty cents from her mistress
for the same number Of words ex'
pressing that a servant Is wanted. II
the mistress should advertise under
the heading Of Personals, for informa-
ton about an old servant, the charge
for those lines would be ninety cents.
II the master, o widower, should wish
the address Of an old servant and
state mAtrimony as bis object, the
clerk at the Herald advertising coun-
ter will mulct him OF 81 for three lines
or precisely twenty times as much as
ke would demand from the missing
maid II she should advertise for q
situation. Evidently 1t Is not the
space he occupies that an advertiser
pays for, but an indefinite something
the exact value OF which neither the
man who buys nor the man who sells
quite understands.

About the Training School.

The News this week in referring to
Senator Brewers bill to establish q
manual training school at Abilene
says:
The Intentions OF Mr. Brewer may be all
right, but Abilene does not want any auxii-
larry manual training school. We want q
school Of our own under control Of board OF
regents who are not u1der the control OF any
one school, Who wants school with the
president Of another college at the head OF
1t, not criticising the state normal, and DO
forced to take any and everything that col
lege did not want. II we must expend that
much OF the states money let's spend 1t 80
that we get all the benefit, and not the little
end OF the deal. The bill is illed with good
Intentions but poor policy and Of no valueto
this county. II We have thing let's have 1t
good. Be aggressive and not a follower.
The News 10 laboring under mis-
apprehension. No state institution
Of the scope planned in this school
can have an independent board Of
regents. The manual training school
is school for training teachers, just
as 10 the state normal. The normal
regents have charge Of Oil schools fol-
teacher training as do the agricultural
regents Of all schools for teaching
farming. The location Of the pro-
posed institution here would not only
benefit Abilene by giving 1t 9 $4,000
building and a $4,000 msiutenance
fund but would be q help to all north
ern and western Kansas. 1t would
bring hundreds Of teachers here for
education along manual training
lines. The school would have its
own principal and corps OF teachers
while the board Of regents would ex'
erclse over 1t the same general sup
ervision thai 1t does override Emporia
normal. 1t lie a sensible proposition
and the bill shoHld become law.

Animals WanderinRs.

The fable Of the country mouse and
the town mouse has a foundation in
fact, says London Answers Mice oc-
casionally migrate in large numbers
when food grows scarce, and travel
considerable distances to fresh houses.
Farmers in part of Perthshire had a
good reason to become aware of this
fact when, a couple of years ago, vast
swarms of mice invaded their corn
fields at harvest time.
But the mouse only travels when it
has to. The rat, on the contrary.
seems to take a yearly outing, in very
much the same fashion as do human
beings. Rats are the most migratory
creatures in the world Whole troops
of rats leave the towns at the end Of
summer and spend a month or two in
the country, apparently in order to en-
joy the change of food which the
country affords at that 5time of the
year in the way of fresh fruit and
grain. Before the cold weather sets
in they are back in their old quar-
tiers.
Reindeer migrate with the same
regularity as swallows. They move
south wheE winter sets in, but as
soon as ever the snow begins to melt
they travel steadily north, sometimes
for as much as 1000 miles.
To end holiday by deliberate sui
eide is SO strange a phenomenon that
for a long time naturalists looked
upon the stories Of the migration of
the Jennings as an improbable fic-
ton. Yet the facts are beyond dis
pute. At irregular intervals these rat
like creatures start out from their
homes in the Businesses Of northern
Scandinavia in huge droves, number
Ing tens of thousands, and travel
steadily southwark. Death pursues
them in hundred forms. Hawks and
other birds of prey hover above them.
Thousands are drowned in rivers. Yet
the rest struggle on until they reach
the sea. They do not stop. They
plunge in, swim out and struggle on
until their last strength fails, and they
drown. Not one ever returns from
this journey Of death.
