County Not Liable for Costs.

An important ruling has been made
by Attorney General Jackson in re-
Spouse to request from County At
torney F. w. Sturges, of Cloud coun-
ty, and it will be of interest generally
in Kansas, In many counties 1t has
been the custom for the county to pay
the costs in injunction cases where
the plaintiff, the state, has secured a
judgment and the costs could not be
collected from the defendant. In a
case in Cloud county, which was
brought and afterward dismissed, the
court held that, as the defendant was
not responsible financially for the
costs they should be paid by the coun-
ty. County Attorney Sturges refused
to o. X. the bill and the commission
ers declined to pay it. Meanwhile an
opinion was asked Of the Attorney
General, who holds that under the
statutes the county can not be held
liable for costs in an injunction case
where they can not be collected from
the defendant.

Reluctant Obedience.

A wise puppy being told to lie down
tin certain place will obey meekly
at the moment, and then, waiting until
his masters attention is diverted, will
slip slowly away from his post. His
reluctance to stay where he is told Is
mot based on dislike Of the spot, for
he will often select it for himself-but
purely on his prejudice against obedi-
ence as such. So the child loves to
assert his freedom by doing what he
would consider serious hardship II
he were compelled to do 1t. A keen
zest is added to play If it is close to
the edge Of the forbidden. Like many
OF the naughtinesses Of human kind,
desire for the unpermitted underlies
the great advances Of the race. Erect
a barrier and the child and the man
long to climb over it, says the Youths
Companion. The impossible noun
tain, the unsailed ocean, the mysteri-
GUS law Of nature, the infinitely dis
tant star-these are so many irresist-
ible magnets to the pioneer, and they
lead him, through what we may truly
call an audacious disobedience, to new
worlds and new triumphs of mind over
matter. why are the cows always
getting out of the pasture?" asked the
schoolmistress Of the old farmer.
wal, | suppose it's because they
want to be where they amt" A
glorious impulse, which climbs from
brute to man-and so on, to the
heights of future development! The
puppy, the cow, the child, the pioneer,
the man of science alike may glory in
their reluctant and temporary obedi-
ence to the voice which says, Stay
bere!"

Bookless Hemes.

College teachers report almost IN.
credible ignorance of standard litera-
ture among classes that come up to
secure the higher education. An ex-
animation Of the minds of many fresh
men brings to light cavities of appal-
ling magnitude; young men from well.
TODD homes arrive at the college gates
without any of the passwords which
admit men to educated society. They
have hazy idea that the Bible is an
old book which belongs with THE New
England Primer" on the dusty shelves
where obsolete publications are put
out of the way. They have heard of
Shakespeare, but are under the i'm
preston that he was a popular novel
ist. They have no knowledge of Col.
Esmond, Mr.. Pickwick, Sir Roger de
Coverley, Miles Coverdale, or Evan
geline. They know something about
Rip Van Wrinkle because they have
been to the theater, and for the same
reason they are MT without impress
sions of Hamlet, though they fail to
associate his tragic career with Shake
speare. The examination papers in
English are sometimes far more
amusing than the journals which
make joking profession. If 1t we're
not for the entrance requirements,
says the Outlook, some students who
knock at college doors would be as In.
nocent of knowledge of the literature
which. is supposed to be the common
possession of educated men as IL they
had just arrived from Mars.
Bookless homes are merely boarding
houses for neglected children.

MAN AND HIS WAYS.
Fertile Brain Has Evolved a New
Style of Cradle.

A new cradle has been invented
and by a man. Which latter state
ment is dedundancy-for no up-to-
date woman would really ever think
of inventing anything SO pernicious to
her infants welfare. Has she not be-
come enlightened to the dreadful ills
Of that time-honored institution OF
our ancestors? Dare she imperil the
intellect that Is to sway the TWEEN
tieth century by untimely Juggling"
In its embryo stage? Poor modern
babe! When colic's gripes assail, it
may not know the luxury of steady
tramp swung across fathers Shout
der-strange to say, men do not jeer
at this dictum Of the new mother
hood-much less will 1t experience the
bliss Of being lulled to rest In q
wooden-slatted cradle or fluffy bassi-
net, swayed by the foot of a won
drous being who swings and croons,
swings and croons, till baby woes are
merged in blessed sleep. Its maker
claims that sideways rocking is, in
deed. injurious to babykins, but to his
eyes, not his brain. Therefore has he
constructed a cradle that swings
lengthwise. and is shaped like boat!

A SMALL SECRET.
Couldn't Understand the Taste Of
His Customers.

Two men were discussing the var
ious food products now being supplied
In such variety and abundance.
One, grocer. said, Il frequently try
a package or so Of any certain article
before offering it to my trade, and in
that way sometimes form a different
idea than my customers have.
For instance, thought would try
some Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such call for it.
At breakfast didn't like it and supper
proved the same, so | naturally con-
Guided that my taste was different
from that Of the customers who bought
1t right along.
"A day or two after, | waited on a
lady who was buying Csc package
and told her couldn't understand how
one could fancy the taste of Postum.
81 know just what is the matter
she said, you put the coffee boiler on
the stove for just fifteen minutes, and
ten minutes of that time 1t simmered,
and perhaps five minutes 1t boiled;
now If you will have 1t left to boil full
fifteen minutes after 1t commences to
boil, you will find delicious Java-like
beverage, rich in food value of gluten
and phosphates, SO choice that you
will never abandon it, particularly
when you see the great gain in health?
Well, / took another trial and sure
enough joined the Postum army for
good. and life seems worth living since
] have gotten rid Of my old time stom-
ach and kidney troubles"
Postum is no sort Of medicine, but
pure liquid food, and this, together
with a relief from coffee worked the
change. "There's a Reason"

not long ago by man who, with
tragic air, began:

before have done, which would
greatly dislike to do"
Much impressed, the lady made
haste to place in his hand five-dol-

with profuse thanks, she inquired:
And what is the dreadful thing
] have kept you from doing, my poor
man."

1t may be that science and the doc
tors will yet prevail on man to steril-
ize the tempting lips of his lady love
before kissing her, but If the latter
were consulted she would prefer to
have him bring along his barber tools
unless he comes with fresh shave.
A Chicago girl has had a man arrest
ed for making her cheeks sore by
kissing her while he was in an un.
razored condition. 1t is very annoy
ing to the tender and confiding young
woman who has read about kisses in
the books suddenly to have a shoe
brush showed against her face says
Chicago Daily News, and to be ex-
pected to like that sort Of thing.
There is room for reform in kissing.

should say what the reforms should
be.
