Speaking of the woeful waste OF

ing long enough to give a few figures
on an important matter that seems to
have been entirely overlooked" says
Homer Hoch. I'VE refer to the four
buttons on the sleeves of mems coats
Now. there are probably 600 1000 men
in Kansas and they probably have on
an average two coats apiece. That
makes 100000 coats and 100000 or
10000 dozen sleeve buttons. The
buttons cost about twenty cents a
dozen, and at that rate the men of
Kansas alone are carrying around on
their coat sleeves in the form of but
tons that have no use on earth or in
the sky an investment of about $780,,
600. And the estimate is most con
sentative. Fellow-countrymen, in the
name Of economy, and thrift, and phil.
anthropy, and business sense, and all
sorts of other things, is there no way
to stop this reckless extravagance?"-

Must Have Been a siaht.

A magazine editor was sadly prais-
Ing William Sharp. recently deceased
in Sicily, who achieved nc little fame
as a poet under the pen name of
Fiona Mcleod.
SHARP" he said, wrote melan-
choly, dreamy things, but he was per
sonally a CHEEKY. vigorous soul. He
was one day praising the real literary
talent that humble, uneducated people
often show in conversation.
He said tina. in Londonderry one
afternoon he vas seated in q barber
shop rhen a farmer entered to get his
hair cut. The farmers locke had an
odd ragged look and the barber, after
regarding them s%cornfully, said:
"'Who cut YOU hair last, old man?'

THE GENTLE CYNlC.

No man can be selfish with his hap
plness.
The wages of sin often come with
out working.
It takes a lot of luck to push a
man up hill.
When some people tell the truth
they have to label it.
Some people seem tireless in max
Ing other people tired.
1t isn't the stingy man who keeps
his troubles to himself.
When women grow jealous the
devil proceeds to get busy.
If we could only hook our troubles
the pawnshops would be full.
The pessimist never hopes for the
best, yet growls # he doesn't get 1t.
We would never suspect how nice
some people were if they didn't tell
us.
Contentment flies out of the win
dow when ambition stalks in at the
door.
Don't cross your bridge till you
come to it-and maybe it won't be
there.
There is always a soft berth for the
fellow who can rout some one else out
of it.
The dollar that looked so small
when you borrowed it seems as big
as a Ferris wheel when you have to
pay 1t haak.

Abuse Of the Term mswelLn

Every once in a while artists take
up a word that spreads like wildfire
through the studios and the places
they frequent until it becomes a NUS
ance A current Illustration of this is
their monotonous usage of the word
swell" to describe a good piece of
work. 1t makes no difference what is
under discussion, If it pleases the art
list or architect or sculptor 1t is
Swell"
The curious thing about the use of
this word is the variety of men who
use it. The biggest, b~rainiest men in
our art world are just as likely to drag
1t into their talk as the most ultra
Bohemian student in the league
classes. 1t may be a fine building or a
beautiful canvas or a stained glass
window. 1t is all the same to the
workers in these things to-day; it is

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham s
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
Gent treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink
ham Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
81 cannot express the terrible suffering l
had to endure. A arrangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and q
serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended
me for a year, but kept getting worse, until
I was unable to do anything, and made up
my mind could not live l finally decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound as last resort, and am to day well
woman. l cannot praise it too highly, and l
tell every suffering woman about my case. 7"

1t stands to reason that soap is going
to injure the varnish and the finish. On
a farm where there is plenty of milk, a
cloth wrung out of skinned milk is the
best means of taking up the dust and
frightening the linoleum. Where milk
is scarce or needed for food, use luke
warm water, to which has been added
half a cupful of kerosene oil or some
good furniture polish. Wiring the cloth

bare flour; it is dusty rather than dirty,
since everything remains on the top,

the subject of earthquakes in Califor-
