france IS now the world S banker.
The pulse of the money market of the
universe is in Paris. Those of US who
carry our earthly possessions in the
right hand pocket of our trousers, are
not depositors in this bank, hence we
cannot feel the pulse-but we can sleep
nights, anyhow!
Mrs. Bertha K. Tracy, formerly of

D. c., of which she is a graduate. See

Men have various ways of carrying
money. Grocers, butchers and millers
carry it in wad. Bankers in clean
bills, laid full length in a pocketbook.
Brokers only fold the bill once, doubling
the money as it were. The young bus
mess man carries it in his vest pocket.
Farmers and drovers in their inside
pockets, whether it is $50 or Is cents.
Printers usually carry their money in
other peoples pockets. s.-Ex.
Fred Joslin, who eloped from Hays
a year ago with Anna Kippes of this
vicinity, returned to Hays the first of
the week bringing his wife with him.
When he arrived Tuesday he had a
(handsome? red beard four or five
inches long and derby hat, and it was
only natural that mis- former acquaint-
ances should fail to recognize him. He
and his wife are now living on farm
in Norton county, and it is said are
doing very nicely up there. They viii
return to their home after a short visit
with their parents.
1t is said that dad" Philip has be-
come a foot ball enthusiast While
away on his K. c. visit last week, he
went clear to Lawrence to see the
game between Arkansas and Kansas
universities. His nephew Stanley, son
of Scotty Philip who visited here a
short time ago, plays guard on the Ar
kansas team, and it was dads" first
opportunity of seeing him. He wore
the Arkansas colors and it's dollars to
doughnuts he rooted like a good fellow
when the ''razorbacks" made a good
play.
The postoffice department has decided
that children going to and from school
shall not be allowed to get their parent S
mail, so do not blame the postmaster
if your children are refused the mail.
The postoffice habit among the children
has become a nuisance both to the pub
lie and the postmaster, and the depart
ment has done wisely in making this
decision. This has been one of our
Postmaster's greatest trials as the
children go to and from school, We
hope this will be observed and no other
means need to be used to enforce this
law.

A young mother, tells an exchange,
CHANGED to occupy a seat in front Of us
on a train last week when an amusing
incident occurred. She was vainly en-
deavoring to quiet her youngster who
was apparently about two years old
The young cherub had gormandizec
vast quantities of fruits, nuts ETC., anc
seemed to be in great misery and pos.
itively refused to be comforted. Fin.
ally an old gentleman, who was sittiug
beside the distressed mother, and whom
we took to be her father, remarked
''Jennie, I'd larrup that kid, . >''Oh j
hate to whip child on full stomach
said she. ''Looks to me like it'ud be
an easy matter to turn it over,'' was
the quaint reply
