QUEsrToN oF THE D..

Up in Old Kentucky
Where the grass is blue
There's controversy
About the peek-a-boo,
The question OF the day is
Town and mount and lake
Wherever men are meeting
What you go'nto takef
Never any fussing
About how ladies dress,
Where two men are meeting
The signal Of distress
Passes quick between them
Then they 60 and Stake
Their thirst, when one has asked one
What you go'n'tO takeT
The question in Kentucky
Is not Of peek-a-booss
Not of clicked hosiery,
Not of low nec<ed shoes
Not of what sweet woman
Wears by mount or lake.
Listenl From Kentucky comes:
What you go'n'to take?

The PROFIT of Vacations

Business men-successfu business
men-are becoming converted to the
IDEA that recreation is g. profit-payins
investment, and that the work-weacy
man who cannot afford to take time
70 rest generally wears out before isa
has accomplished what he owes him
self and society. From an address re-
Gently delivered by President Marks,
before the National Association Of
Clothiers, at Cincinnati, the following
comInonsense sermons are quoted:
we forget that the telephone and
the typewriter have crowded two days
efforts into every days task
Have we the right to work at such
hlgh pressure day in, day out, and at
night come to our homes exhausted
Have wife and children no claim up3n
US which tired brain will not fairly
satlsfy? Has society no claim?
Vacations are the coupons on the
bonds of industry that mature semi
annually Cut these coupons regularly,
SO that they, in turn, may be vitalized
and earn interest
The months rest makes a man
brighter, gives him reserve strength,
makes his business more attractive to
to his business.
Some merchants have the conceit
that they cannot be spared Let them
go away and their vanity will receive
a shock If, however a mans idea Of
his indispensa bility is really well
founded, his business organization is a
failure"
He who loves outdoors and who be-
lieVes life has something for mans
benefit better than the grindstone. is
the man who finds life worth living and
who helps to make it so for others

LA TOILETTE

Last week when LaFollette spoke il
Clay Center he showed what he had at
tempted to do in the United States sem
ate and remarked that the work was far
from pleasant for him. When he goes
into cloak room of the senate he says
that most Of the senators stop their
conversation and there is a quiet which
is simply appalling. But he remarks
that he believes it is his duty to CON
tinue the work and he is going to do 1T.
He also said that Kansas has a man at
Salina who would be an honor to the
state and a great help to reform if he
We're in the senate. He didn't say any
thing about Curtis, did he? No, nor
Stubs? No, nor any of the rest OF
them. LaFollette knows who is in the
business from honest motives and for
the interest Of the people, that's Bris-
tow.-BellevilIe Freeman.

The Power of the Tranic Manager.


Somebody has said that the men
who make railroad rates hold the we'll
being of the United States in the hol-
lows of their hands. That they can
build up and tear down industries,
populate and devastate communities
make business enterprise flourish or
reduce it to ignominious failure as
best suits their purpose=these are the
powers that have been attributed to
them in the discussion which during
the few months has undertaken to set
before the country the intricate rela-
lions between our people and the
agencies that furnish them transpor-
tatiOn- But what manner of men these
are, and how they really apply their
power day by day, no one has told.
The railroad traffic manager must
be to the manner born in his profess
sion; but all the natural equipment IN
the world is of no use to him without
the schooling of hard experience, the
higher training of we'll sustained re-
sponsibilty The skill his task re-
quires might be compared with that of
the great physician, whose diagnosis is
the result of so many subtle. instinc-
tive turns of judgment that he could
not explain its processes. The two men
select their method of treatment and
apply their remedies with the same
sureness and precision."From THE
Traffic Manager and the Shipper" by
Philip S. F'iske, in the American
Monthly Review of Reviews.

NEW ELEMENTS.

Sir William Crookes promises
some revelations. 1t is well known
that when the light of an mean
descent body like the sun is passed
through the s~pectroscope the ele-
ments present in the glowing body
are shown by lines on the picture,
or spectrum, produced, Sir William
has recently been examining the
phosphorescent glow of some rare
earths, the result of which is to con-
vince him that he has found evil
dence of new elements. This iudg-
ment is founded upon the manner
in which certain lines are distrib-
uNed in the phosphorescent spec
trum. He opines that he is in pos
session Of good evidence pointing to
the existence of two, if not three,
new bodies waiting to be isolated by
chemical methods.
