Do you know the world is full Of
kindness that was never spoken,
and that lie no better than no kind
ness at all. The fuel in the stove
makes the room warm, but there
are great piles of fallen trees lying
on rocks and tops of trees where
nobody "a get them; these do
not make anybody warm. You
might freeze TO death for want of
wood in plain sight of these fallen
trees, If you had no means of
getting the wood home and maxi
Ing a Are of it. Just so in q family
love is what makes the parents
and children, the brothers and
sisters, happy. But If they take
care never to say a word about it;
II they keep it a profound secret
as If 1t wei a crime, they will not
be much happier than if there was
not any love among them; the
house will seem cold, even in
summer and if you live there you
will envy the dog when you call
him "poor fellow"
THE JOURNEY OF LIFE.
You will find this journey of
life Is not always what it seems,
nor that it lies all the way through
verdant valleys and flowery mead
ows. 1t is not always bright with
the sunlight of pleasure. You will
not find a bed Of roses to recline
upon every time you are weary.
Don't expect it, or you will very
likely be disappointed. You will
fud that about the time the path
gets past the school house it
switches off into some rather rough
country. You will very probably
find some rough hills to climb and
some deep gullies to cross. The
briars will tear your nice clothes,
and the stones will wear out your
fine shoes, and you will have
blistered heels and stone-bruises
in plenty, before you get through.
There is only one wav to avoid
all this. That is to sit down a
whining beggar by the roadside,
despised and self-despising. But if
you are going through you must
brace yourself for hard climbing.
You will find plenty of roses by
the way, but they grow among
thorns, and if you would gather
them you must not be afraid of a
few scratches. AL the fruits worth
having are near the top of the
tree. You can have your game
suppers and your quails on toast,
too, but the game is wild and the
birds roost high, and you can't put
salt on their tails to catch them.
You can have all this we say, but
just as likely as not when you get
it you will have no teeth to chew
1t with, SO you mustn't build too
much on that.
Yes, young man, the glaciers of
life are hard to climb, and you
will never make the trip without a
guide. The name of the guide is
"Work." Tie yourself to him
young man, and he will pull you
through all right. He is rough
and rugged, as all mountaineers
but don't despise him on that &C.
count. Don't despise his homely
garments; he is a brave, true.
hearted fellow, who has led
thousands safely through, and

RED DOWNS IS BACK.
Topeka Baseball Star Made $4,000 as
Member of Detroit Team,

Jerome Downs, better known in To-
peka as Red Downs, the star second
| baseman of Topeka's pennant win
ming team in 1906, returned to Topeka
last night to spend the winter. Red
has been playing with the Detroit
Tigers, who won the American league
pennant With the Detroit team
Jerry, as he is called in Detroit,
Played the role of utility player, work
ing at second base for several weeks
and at other times filling in the va
cancies. He played in the outfield a
good deal during the past season. He
ielded well and his batting average
for the season was 22S, not so bad for
youngster who is playing by the side
or some of the greatest stars of the ma
tional game.
Since the worlds championship
games Red has spent the time barn
storming with the Tigers and in visit
ing at his old home in Iowa. He de-
veloped bad case of blood poisoning
in one of his feet and. has been visitin g
at his home while the injured foot was
recovering. Tt is now well and he will
be in good shape by next spring.
.It seems good to get back to To-
peka," said Red this morning in talk
ing with number of friends. '"I al
ways liked Topeka and always give
Topeka as my address when anyone
asks me where am from. I intend to
spend the whole winter here and shall
probably spend my winters here for
some time to come. Incidentally the
old nickname of Red which have not
heard for some time sounds pretty
good, although I was never stuck on
the name. Back in Detroit all 1 hear
is Jerry
Downs spent last winter in Topeka
and held a position in the general Of
fees Of the Santa Fe. He will prob
ably go to work in the general Offices
again this season a s there is position
open for him any time he wants one.
He showed the same proficiency last
winter in office work that. he showed
on the diamond with the champion
Tigers this season.
Really though Red doesn't have to
work in the winter time. He profited
well financially for his first year in
the major leagues. In addition to his
regular salary Red received a good
slice of the $40 900 which was do
mated by the management to the De-
troit players for winning the pennant
besides his slice of the worlds cham
pionship money. In all it is said that
he has cleaned up over $4,000 on the
season and most of this is in a To-
peI1a bank. Pretty good starter.
Mrs. Downs. who has been in Iowa
with her husband returned with him.

TO FORCE ROOSEVELT.
Congressman Hull Says He Will Be
Elected for Another Term.

Des Moines, Ia. Nov 13.-Con-
gresham J. A. T. Hull, chairman of
the house committee on military af-
fairs, said today after returning from
Washington. where he had a confer
ence with the president:
Roosevelt will be renominated,
forced to accept the nomination and
elected president for four years
more. Bryan will be the nominee of
the Democrats and the. country will
see the hottest campaign in history.
The trend of public sentiment is all to
Roosevelt, although the situation will
be complicated If Hughes should

Washington, Nov. 13.-Representative
Edward B. Vreeland, representing al
most a solid Republican constituency

Franchot, former insurance commits
sioner of that state, now interested
heavily in oil ventures in Indian Terri
tory, had a conference with the presi-
dent today. New York politics and 9TH

Mr. Vreeland, who is an ardent
Roosevelt supporter, talked cautiously
of the conference.
There is no pronounced favorite-son

They ALL WANT TAFT.
European Rulers Are Anxious to En-
terrain the Secretary.

Paris, Nov. 13.-The French govern
nent is greatly pleased at the reported
decision of Secretary Taft to stop in
Paris en- route from the far east and
is anxious to honor the American
statesman. A dinner given by Presi-
dent Fallleres doubtless will form part
of the programme, but everything will
depend on the length of the secretary s
stay. Beyond the fact that he will ar
rive December II, nothing is known,
even that date may now be changed by
modification of Mr.. Taft's itinerary,
after leaving st. Petersburg.
In view of Emperor Williams deci-
sion to remain sometime in England
and his consequent absence from Ber-
lin, while Mr.. Taft will be there the
emperor has invited Mr.. and Mrs Taft
to visit him in England. This invita-
ton which was extended through
Charlemange Tower, the American
ambassador to Germany, who is now in
Paris, should reach Mr.. Taft upon his
arrival at Vladivostok. Mr.. Tower be-
lieves the secretary will accept the in
vitation, which necessa rily will involve
q Encouragement of his itinerary. The
ambassador, however, also expects that
the remainder of the Berlin pro-
gramme for Mr.. Taft's entertainment
which includes reception by the
members of the American colony and
embassy and a dinner to be given by
Ambassador Tower in Mr.. Taft's honor
and at which he will meet a number of
the high German functionaries of
state, to stand.

CENTERS ON THOMAS,
He Is the Man Who Offered His Ser
vices to the Confederacy.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 13.-Consider-
able interest has been aroused in
Richmond over the assertion that
General Grant at one time offered his
services to President Davis of the
Confederacy. The Rev. DR.. J. William
Jones, chaplain and historian in the
Confederacy, said he had no knowl-
edge of either Grant or Farragut hay
ing made such an application.
There can be absolutely no doubt,
however" continued DR.. Jones, Gin

the matter time and time again, and
will state most emphatical1y that I
have in my personal possession a let

which admits at the time of the seces-
sion he applied for a commission to
enter the Confederate service"

CHICAGO IN THE LEAD.
Fight for Republican Convention Set
ties Down to Three Cities.

Chicago. Nov. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington, D. c., says:
1t seems likely that the Republican
convention fight has settled down to a
struggle between Chicago, Kansas City
and st. Louis. Other cities have in
more or less formal pleas, but thus far
they, nave not moved, except in a local
way, to secure support in the national
committee. The members who have
been here within the last week or two
and others who have been heard from
by letter, intimate that the convention
will almost surely be held in one of the
three cities mentioned.
The situation at the present time Is
that Chicago is the first choice of a
majority of the committee, aside from
all political and personal influences.
Kansas City, however, is making the
best fight for the convention and the
people there seem to be more eager to
nave it than appears to be the case in
the other two cities.
st. Louis has Jagged behind to some
extent because it has to guarantee the
removal of the present coliseum and its
rebuilding in time for the convention
On the other hand, st. Louis occupies
an advantageous position because it
seems likely to be the second choice
Of both Chicago and Kansas City.

MUST RAISE THEIR PRICES.
Congressman .Snapp Tells Illinois Edi
tors to Advance Their Rates.

indianapolis, Ind, Nov 13-Con-
gresham Snapp, in an address delfv-
cred before the Illinois Daily News
paper, association, gave the editors this
advice:
You newspaper men have seen the
price of everything else advance but
you have hung back and refused to in
crease the price of your papers Every
thing has gone up. The price of labor
in the printing business has advanced
twice. The cost of paper has gone up
enormously. And you sat still and
took the loss meekly.
What you ought to do is to get to-
gether and meet the conditions by adj
vancing the price of your product to
the public to correspond to the other
advances
The publishers of the following In
diana weekly newspapers have given
notice that they will advance the sub
scription price of their publications
from 81 to $3.50 per annum: Yer
sailles Republican, Ripley Journal.

printed a list of forty-one country
