LODGE PROPERTY AND TAXES
Kansas New state Tax Commission
Law VIII He Tested in
the Courts.

Topeka, Kan. Aug. p. - Shawnee
county, through its Board of County Com
missioners and county attorney. will test
the constitutionality of the new state as
sessment and taxation law whereby the
State Tax commission was created, in the
courts at once. The exemption Of lodge
property from assessment and taxation is
the point they claim thar makes 1t de-
fective. The law provides that all buildings
and property belonging to benevolent and
fraternal orders, which are situated under
rooms for lodge purposes, shall be exempt

emption II valid would remove H,5OoDooo Of

The star and Her Public.

OF course materially the star Is ex-
tremely well off. She can, If she has
any business instinct whatever, easily
become a rich woman. She earns, we
will say, $500 week and percentage
Of the box office receipts. At that rate
she need not be miserly to accumulate
a tidy fortune In the course Of a few
successful years. A few successful
years! All, there's the rub! The public
Is dear, kind, sympathetic, f1attering-
and tickle. Its regard is immediate and
perhaps ephemeral 1t adores you this
year, flocks to see you, bursts its gloves
applauding you, warns the cookies Of
your heart with its ready smiles, its
ready signs, losses you flowers, sends
you notes, makes you walk upon air
with gladness. And next year it doesn't
care for your play or there is some one
new, some one bewitching, enthralling.
Your personal popularity has evapo-
rated. And you see yourself going the
inevitable way-the way that greater
actresses and greater favorites than
you have gone before you, to their neg
lected, half contemptuously pitied old
age-to the drummed up benefits and
the condescendingly bestowed charity.

A Curious Romance.

Hutton, the historian of Derby, Eng
land, tells curious story about his
grandfather. He was serving under
Cromwell In 1647, when one day In
crossing over st. Mary's bridge he saw
a girl standing by the stream filing her
pail with water. He flung a large
stone toward her to brighten her with
the splash. missed his aim and hit her
on the head. She fell motionless, and
he ran away, fearing he had killed her
For years he was haunted by the idea
that the girls blood was on his hands
After his discharge from the army he
married a Derby woman and one day
intrusted this seo.et to her. He was
bo,h relieved and surprised to learn
that the girl had yecovered and that be
had married her.

Some Queer Shoes.

The Portuguese shoe has a wooden
sole and heel, with vamp made Of
patent leather fancifully showing the
flesh side of the skin. The Persian
footgear is raised shoe and Is often
a foot high. 1t is made Of light wood,
richly inlaid, with strap extending
over the instep. The Muscovite shoe
is hand woven on a wooden frame,
and but little attention Is paid to the
shape of the foot. Leather is sometimes
used, but the sandal is generally made
OF silk cordage and WOODEN cloth. The
Siamese shoe has tie form of an an
Gent canoe, with gondola bow and
an open toe. The sole is made Of wood,
the upper Of inlaid wood and cloth, and
the exterior is deliberately ornamented

A Bit Of Green.

People who have no skill with house
plants or no time to attend to them
may nevertheless have refreshing bit
OF green with no trouble at all. Ehx-
lish ivy grows freely in water, and a
few slips in bottles concealed behind
pictures and mirrors will be a source
of great pleasure through an entire
winter. Fill the bottles with fresh wa
ter once in awhile and direct the
course of the new growth by common
pins stuck in the wall, and that is al
the care required for a highly decora.
tive frieze of graceful garlands.-Hay-
