RebuIking the Emperor.

Doctor Omori, of the University Of
Tokyo, who has recently been in Amer
lea, told a story which the Milwaukee
Sentinel repeats, of the Chinese EN-
peror Isl. The fayorite horse of the
Emperor died through negligence on
the part Of the Royal Master of the
Horse. The Emperor was so enraged
that he drew his sword ard would have
run tie offender through the body.
The learned mandarin, Yent-se, struck
the Emperor's sword and said, Sire,
this man has not yet been formally ac-
cused of any crime. He deserves to
die, but the accusation should come
first. 1t is the law"
Well said the Emperor, tell him
what he has done"
Listen, you rogue" said the man.
DARN to the Master of the Horse,
listen to an account of your offenses:
First, you have allowed horse to per-
ish that his majesty entrusted to your
care. Second, it is on your account
that he was about to STAY you with his
own hand. Finally, through your fault,
our sovereign was on the point of dis
grazing himself in all his peoples eyes
by killing a man for the sake of a
horse"
Enough" said the Emperor. HE is
pardoned."

The PopuIar Woman.

If you are woman and wish to be
popular with women, never tell them
the truth. Tell them something pleas
ant They will think you are charm
ing and will desire to meet you again.
The woman who hides her intelligence
under guileless questions will find her
self admired and sought by men, but
despised and avoided by women.
A woman who is popular with men
is rarely liked by women. She is gen
orally a clever actress and her sister
women see through her. When & wom
an finds all else fails in her efforts to
attract and hold a man she appeals to
his strength. Unless he is strong, that
generally fetches him. AS long as men
have faults women will condone them :
and as long as women condone them,
men will have faults-and longer. A
man does not admire a brilliant and
witty woman unless he is more bril-
liant and can match her wit and go
her one better. If she is brilliant and
witty and beautiful. more men will adj
mire her If she hides her talents be-
hind her beauty. If she is merely
beautiful. all men will admire her.

The Girl Who Smiles.


The wind was east, and the chimney
smoked
And the old brown house seemed
dreary,
For nobody smiled and nobody joked,
The young folks grumbled, the old folks
croaked,
They had come home chilled and weary.
Then opened the door and girl came In;
Oh, she was homely-very;
Her nose was pug, and her cheek was
thin,
There wasn't dimple from brow to chin,
But her smile was bright and CHEEKY.
She spoke not a word of the cold or damp,
Nor yet of the gloom about her,
But she mended the fire and lighted the
lamp,
And she put on the place different
stamp
From that it had without her.
They forgot that the house was a dull
old place
And smoky from base to rafter,
And gloom departed from every face
As they felt the charm of her mirthful
grace
And the cheer of her happy laughter.
Oh, give me the girl that will smile and
sing,
And make all glad together
To be plain or fair is a lesser thing,
But a kind, unselfsh heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest weather.

Modern Laundry KIN. Germs

1t is a fact, though one hates to
admit it, that the modern laundry
sends out clothes as clean and germ
free as it is possible to make them.
The garments in the process of wash
ing are thoroughly sterilized and rem
dered germproof; nor is there any
possibility of vermin coming in con
tact with them. Laundry work Gone

way to wash and iron the clothes
without tearing them to pieces the re-

Or. J. A. Gilbert, in the Medical Rec
ord, emphasizes the conclusion that the
milk which is richest in cream is not the
most nutritious, for the simple reason
that the rich milk is less easily digested
and absorbed than the milk in which the
fat percentage is low. The valuable pro-
ted ingredients which 60 to the building
up of the tissues, he says, remain very
much the same in all varieties of cows
milk, and frequently skim milk is more
flesh forming than rich milk. In the light
of this conclusion. DR.. Gilbert questions
the value of the Jersey COW, which some
times gives milk SO rich that it cannot
suckle its own calf.

sas with Terrible Slaughter.
Thirty lives at least were sacrificed
in collision early Wednesday due, it
is said, to the error of a railway tele-
grapher at the small station of Vol
land, Kan. The man saw his terrible
mistake q moment too late, telegraphed
the train dispatcher that the wreck was
sure to occur and then disappeared.
Meanwhile passenger train No. 20,
south bound from Chicago to El Paso
and California on the Rock Island road,
crashed into No 80, bound for Chicago,
five miles west of Alta Vista, and the
victims of the crash, the majority OF
them Mexicans, were cremated in the
burning coaches. Most Of the killed
and injured were on the south bound
train. The cars went into the ditch
and several of them caught fire. Many
of the bodies of victims were consumed
by the flames.
Most of the killed Mexican laborers
We're in the smoking car on No. %. The
baggage car telescoped the smoker and
crashed down through the roof of the
latter, crushing the occupants, the ma
jority of whom were curled up in the
seats asleep. The cars caught tire ana
five of the coaches in No. 20 were con-
sumed by the flames
Blame for the collision seems TO rest
upon John Lynes, telegraph operator at
yolland, who disappeared. Orders had
been issued for No. % and No. 80 to
pass at Yolland, and these orders had
been sent to the operator there, who
was instructed to hold No. %. Vt is
stated that he failed TO deliver the or
der to the crew of No. %. and the
latter train went by meeting No. 80 a
few miles west. Lynes fled before the
wreck occurred after forecasting the
impending collision.
Both trains were heavy, having ten
cars each, including Pullman sleepers,
chair cars and coaches. smokers and
baggage cars Relief trains were rush

were of the old school that it does not
advance because it makes so much
noise, all of which seems slightly con-
