sale salesroom above. Both elevators are operated with electric power.
 In the north of the basement area way, under the offices of Doctors Wylie and RedewlIl. is another base ment storeroom, connected with the alley by an immense chute, down which such goods as beans. sugar, salt etc, can be slid with less effort than by an elevator. This apartment alone would accommodate a surplus stock for big store.
 The west basement, which is the darkest and coolest, will be devoted to the handling of meats and perishable goods. The middle basement and part ! of the one next to First avenue will be utilized for canned goods, sugar and other heavy reserve stock. 1 In the center of the basement room facing both Adams and First ave, is an immense vault, now filled with gov ernment records. These will be moved elsewhere and the vault will be an ideal place for the storage of reserve cigar stock. Between the vault and the street corner will be the I big wholesale tobacco department, which is to be made an important line of merchandise and the accommodate tions for which are incomparable. The apartment is cool though light and airy
 The entire basement is well lighted by electricity, the globes being plenti- full and the switches arranged for the illumination of all or any part of it.
 The retail storeroom is tastefully and artfully decorated, the walls be- ing covered with dark green paper, the ceilings of lighter hues and the borders, squares, etc, all in delicate tints that match pleasingly. It can be safely said that no storeroom can be found anywhere devoted to a grocery stock that is more attractive or more conveniently arranged.
 The office is yet incomplete in it's appointements, but when finished will have every convenience of a modern establishment. It will contain among other things a telephone exchange from which wires will run to every de- partment in the store. Economy of labor has been a consideration in the planning as well as economy in every thing else But in planning for econ omy there has been no losing sight of comforts, or the wisdom of planning for permanency.
 Manager L. La Chance, who kindly conducted the reporter through the big establishment said it had been his purpose to devise a storeroom that would be up-to-da for few days at least, and he hopes with this start to keep up with the procession. He is an optimist and believes in the future of the valley and has no idea that the present Wakelin store will be the big gest one the town will ever see. But he does have an ambition to make the business grow and make the store grow with it. He says he has begun on a campaign of expansion and hopes to carry it out a great deal further. He invites the public to size up the situation and watch the Wakelin store for three years. when he predicts that it will be bigger and better than it is today. already the most magnificent of it's kind in the southwest. employing regularly about twenty eight people.

WAKELIN GROCER co.
 IN NEW QUARTERS
The Biggest Establishment of Its Kind
 In the Territory.

The E. S. Wakelin Grocer Co. yes terday finished the removal of it's stock from the Fleming building into the new quarters in the O'Neill build ing. Preparations for the move began on Friday, but the actual transfer did not begin in earnest until Sunday morning, and for two days a small army of men has been busily engaged in the work. Though the removal is complete, the placing of stock and fix lures in the new quarters will not be thoroughly accomplished for month. That statement may give the reader a hint of the size of the stock and the bigncSs of the new quarters. But business goes along uninterruptedly just the same. though there is natur- ally the friction of not finding every thing just where one expects to. Within the week, however. matters

to keep the doors open, for which those
interested are truly thankful. From the
appeal made on the 18th of last month.
we received checks for s35, 81 81. SIS,

debts-rent. fuel a child's bed and some
needed supplies.
The table supplies and necessities for
the kitchen are bought with the money
paid in by the mothers. There are two
children now in the home, the matron
receiving 81 week each, for their care.
The matron, Mrs. Stewart, is giving her
whole time without compensation.
There are many things needed in the
home, the greatest being for gas

ago did not materialize. The house is
piped for gas. The rent is again due.

year under the engineers estimates
will be $S6,600 and of this sum about
$38, 800 is taxable against the city at

TEACHERS DON'T BUY THEM,
Only About One-thlrd Get the Reading
Circle Books.

Figures compiled by State Superin-
tendent F'airchild show that while the
use Of books recommended by the state
reading circle board is increasing with
the teachers Of the common schools of
Kansas, it is still only about a third of
the Kansas teachers who buy the books.
In 1867 there were 1878 copies of the
two reading circle books sold, while in
1908 there have been 6.305 copies Of the
books sold. In proportion to the num-
Der of its teachers, Rice county bought
more books than any other of the large
counties of the state.

AUTOMOBILES FOR THE FARM.
TiIlers of the Soil to Be on Equality
with People of Towns.

One of the large companies en-
gagged in the manufacturing of farm
machinery proposes placing on the
market at an early date an automobile
especially designed for farm use. This
machine will be sold at a reasonable
price, and will be put out in various
styles ranging from a runabout to a
heavy farm truck which the farmer
can use in transporting his grain and
other produce to the markets.
Transportation of farm produce to
the railroad stations and the markets
mated that at the present time it
costs the farmer about nine cents per
hundred pounds to carry his grain a
distance of II miles to the railroad
station or market place. 1t is ex-
pected that the installation of auto,
mobiles for hauling purposes will de-
crease the expense to three or four
cents per hundred pounds. The com
ing of the farm automobile means fur
ther improvement of roads. Already
the automobile and the rural deliv-
cry of mail has worked wonders in
the way of stimulating interest in
road improvement Once the farmers
become automobile users they will
be more energetic workers, in fact,
enthusiasts for ,high-class highways.
Another use of the automobile in
agricultural districts is it's employ.
ment by merchants for delivering
goods to patrons in the country. In
a number of eastern states enterpris-
ing merchants send out their clerks
with automobiles in the morning to
solicit the orders of the people resid-
ing on the nearby farms, and use the
automobile for delivering goods in the
afternoon. Merchants who have
adopted this plan have found 1t prof.
table and their business greatly in,
creased, not considering the adver.
tising received by this innovation.

The negro seized the girl as she was
passing through the grounds. She
screamed and he knocked her down.
Then he started to drag her away from
the path. Steward Flummertield, who
heard ner screams. came running up,
and the negro fed. The gathering of

choking administered, and her cloth
ing was almost all torn away. She

BUILDING UP THE CHARACTER
A Few Words to the Youth Who Would
Make the Most Of Life.

II is well that the majority Of Us
value being well thought Of Few
young men, anxious TO make the most
of life, care to have what is common
~ known as a bad reputation" Do
you, young man, ever stop to think
that there are immutable laws that
control the universe and all therein?
Do you ever consider that light is
only the evidence of luminous body?
That the brilliancy of the diamond is
merely the rays reflected from the
perfectly crystalized carbon? Reputa-
ton is only the reflection from char
acter as it is variously projected upon
the screen of public opinion; but rep
utation is not character, any more
than the light is the luminous body,
but is merely the effulgence, the re-
suit of character.
The initiation diamond for a time
may rival in splendor and brilliancy
the reflections of light of the genuine
gem, but this brilliancy is soon dulled.
The same with reputation, which
bOultLlulCS dlldClltO W vial oNtNA
which will not stand the test of time,
or the scrutiny of the eXacting eye of
justice. Week after week We read
in the pages of the press of the
downfall and disgrace of men high in
public estimation, and who. until their
duplicity was exposed, were men of
most excellent neutrality-suspicious.
reflected falsely from an unclean char
acter.
Character is the mold of moral con-
sciOusness. 1t is the outgrowth of
the heart carefully nurtured by truth
and love and directed by intelligence
solely Influenced by that which is
mora in man. 1t is by reputation
that we are to be judged by those
with whom we are thrown in either
business or social intercourse. Our
own acts are the standard by which
We will be either praised or con.
demned. Our own acts are the indica.
tions Of the spirit within. Though we
may be most excellent in character,
sometimes we may be falsely estimat.
ed; may acquire through some misun.
derstood circumstance reputation un.
desirable. But character ever counts.
1t is sure to bring to the front its
worth. The diamond may be robbed
of its brilliancy for time by Crime
and dirt, but it is nevertheless a dia.
mond. Your true worth may be OBJ.
scured for a time, but it is sure to
| become known.
Character is the greatest thing the
young man has to guard. 1t is the only
sure foundation upon which hopes can
be rightly based He who is true to
| himself cannot be untrue to others
| Would you have character and repu
| tation, you must work, constantly, un
| ceasingly, as conscience becomes dead
ened and degenerate when not eXer
cised, and conscience directs the
building of character. There are
qualities in man that mark his great
ness and his superiority-the mora
and the mental, and it is by the eXer
else of these that greatness and sue
cess are gained.
