Kansas Perking~ Up.

These days of volcanoes and earth
quakes the Kansan looks at his occa-
sional food and sometimes droughts
and almost forgotten grasshoppcrs
with a commendable federation. The
season may go dry or it may come
wet; there may be little hollow horn
among the cattle and a few chinch
bugs in the wheat; the wind may
blow the title to the land over in the
next county now and then or droughts
may shrivel the coupons on the mort
cages once in awhile, but after all
Kansas is a good place to live in.
Even though the cyclone may ga}lop
along and remove a few of the Kan
sas farmers goods and chattels, the
wind brings him enough of his neigh
bors' household goods on the low
er 80 across the creek to start house
keeping. And always, says tho EN-
poria Gazette, there is a chance to
slide into the 'fraid hole and let the
winds blow and the storms rage. But
an earthquake turns the 'fraId hole
wrong side out and shakes it's occu-
pants down on the under side of it.
Kansas is a mighty safe place for a
man to live in. 3 . 49, T. Es...s

Women and Matrimony.


Those who keep close watch on
women's ways profess to see a de-
cided falling of in enthusiasm
among the fair sex concerning the
right and opportunity to cook and tie
increasing fields in which they may
find a chance to earn money or gain
livelihood. women are beginning to
find out" says a close student of this
burning question, that work is work,
after all, and that competition grows
fercer all the time. Young women
who come from the country districts
with high hopes of independence and
Ideals about living their own life un-
trammeled by old traditions soon learn
that 1t Is struggle harder than any
they might encounter at home. Then
their views change and they begin to
think much better of matrimony as
vocation than they did before. It will
be some time before this new feeling
will have much weight in lessening
the present rush of women into all
avenues of labor, but there will be an
effort in time and IL z rush will sub
side. The shadow Of independence
rather than the substance is all that
many women gain, and this is bang
slowly realized"

IN OCEAN DEPTHS.

Some Of the most beautiful sights
are found in the seattle coral reefs
and the sunken gardens, filled with
strange marine plants. Some marine
animals live only in the purest wa
ter, others only in the foulest water;
for every condition there is life to-,
f1t it.
In all ocean basins, hills and ridges,
rs well as troughs and deep holes, oc-
cur, and the bottom is covered with
the skeletons Of marine animals,
changed by time into slime and stone.
Some Of the animals Of the ocean
have no eyes, having no need Of them;
others have a hundred eyes.
The largest animal and the tiniest
animal are found in the sea. In places.
the sea is 10000 feet deep. Its aver
age depth is over 10000 feet. Twice.
every "a hours the water rises and
falls. At the entrance to the Day
Of Fundy the rise at spring tide is no.
less than 70 feet. The natural power
that controls the tide is a tremendous
one.
And the plant life in the ocean IS
almost as remarkable as the animal
life. Learned men have been study
ing it for centuries and are only be-
ginning to understand it. II you want
to be interested as no novel can in
terest you, procure~a book telling in
simple manner of the life in the
seas. There are plenty Of such books
written for the people rather than for
scientists.

Anti-Dog League

Although the dog is generally ac-.
cepted as being the truest friend OF
the human race. he has his enemies
who are loyal to their hatred. An et-
fort of these people to get together
and give force and direction to their
antipathy has just begun. having Its
origin with Ambrose Bierce, the es-
sayist and satirist on the follies and
foibles of both CANNES and humans.
Mr.. Bierce. says the New York Press,
has all his lifetime been an enemy
Of the dog and has given a great deal
of attention to projects for his re-
moval from the face Of the earth. In
the prospectus of the Anti-Dog League
1t Is set forth that he Is the only
one of our domestic animals whose
existence is due altogether to hered-
ity. he is an anachronism, a sur
vival, heritage of shame. He is adj
dicted to more uncomfortable habits
than the number of hairs on his tail,
and in point Of inutility he dominates
the situation like a brick ship in a
fishing feet. True, he has enough in
telligence to fawn upon his master
(and his master enough to be proud
of the attention), but that is matter
of thrift and signifies no superiority
to the !courtier in his blindness. AS
to tho creatures deeds Of devotion and
fidelity to those whom he deems it
inexpedient to chew, they are mostly
narrated by those who have not In
mind the example of little George
Washington. "Let the good work now
begun go on until the entire plague
of besetters, disappointers, gravy
hounds, sirloiners, managers, bedrag-
glers, spick-and-spaniels, early fra
grants, skyoodles. insulters, dalmna-
lions, great scots and miscellaneous
Affections are memory and tradi-
ton Of the insanity past" The or
gan1zat1on OF the Anti-Dog League
society is hampered by the fact that
its prospective members live at such
long intervals from each other that
they are almost unable to assemble.
However, an organization of dog
haters was effected In Washington re-
Gently, which was able to elect a per-
manent chairman and correspond
ing secretary. Until a more numer-
Gus gathering Of delegates is arranged
other Offices of the organization re-
main vacant for lack of persons to fill
them.

the family. Whether she is sick or.
well, whether it rains or shines, she
must get to her place of employment,
perform the duties exacted Of her
smile and be agreeable. =.
Among this class the symptoms Of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of tho
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss of appetite, until life is a burden.
All these symptoms point to q de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
bic Compound.
Miss Abby F. Barrows, Jacksonville.
Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable COMPOUND
and Blood Purifier have done for me. Before

they did me no good.

It is to such girls that Mrs. Pink
ham holds out a helping hand and ex-
tends a cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter-in-law of
| Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty five
| years has been advising sick women
free of charge. Her long record of
success in treating woman's ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value to
every ailing working girl. Address,,

A YOUNG MILLIoNAIREs RIGHT ARM,

Young Jay Gould's tennis triumphs, in Eng
land have occasioned good deal of comment
His success in the preliminary matches was ex-
pected to represent all he could look for No one
expected multi millionaire's son to really make
good in an open competition of this kind. Then
young Jay won the semi-inals- and at last the de-

they have marked him an unusual young man,
not merely in tennis but in everything that he
undertakes &. :, ii g. <.,#l,:'. s
