Cat with KNOWLEDGE of Music.

At meeting of a Washington short
story club the other evening a young
woman from the northeast section.
whose mind is said to run to innova-
tions, produced from her handbag a
roll of manuscript written on the
daintiest of ecru-tinted paper delicate
ly perfumed with violet, and read
her literary offering. 1t proved to be
an account of the wonderful doings
of her pet pussy cat, Sweet Pea" as
she had named the animal. She read
how she had trained the cat to sing
Aud Lang Syne," Annie Laurie"
and other venerable airs in the high
falsetto voice for which the feline
family is noted. Then the young wo-
man related how, in the halmy sum.
mer nights, in the romantic moon
light, her pet cat would station itself
on some neighboring fence and sud
denly fill the neighborhood with
strains of music instead of the usual
caterwauling that is produced by ma
rauding pussy cats and Toms.

How Time Has Changed Things.

Thirty years ago, says an eX-
change, one of the old,fashioned
steel-wire spring wagons was a
luxury. In funeral procession a
mile long you would see perhaps
two or three of them. Everybody
rode in farm wagons. Twenty
years ago a top buggy was rich
mans good fortune and but few of
them were seen. Today a top
buggy with a rubber tire is as
common as Democrat in Texas.
Anybody and everybody has them,
A farm wagon in funeral process.
sion would be novelty. Automo-
biles are fast getting to be CON-
mon. a newspaper printed yes
terday is stale. If a letter is twenty
four hours travelling a thousand
miles there is a kick coming. Ten
dollars don't last as long as ten
cents did with our grandfathers
We spend more for socks and sus-
penders than grandfather did for
his Sunday clothes, and still we
wonder what is the matter with
the world that it does not grind
out as many blessings as it did q
century ago.

County Surveyor, John A..
Crook, has called the Tribune's
attention to the displacement OF
the corner stones which mark the
boundary for the owners of sec
tions of land in this county. The
displacement of these stones when
willfully done is unlawful, and
when accidental is annoying to
the surveyor the same as if they
were willfully displaced. The
people interested in these corner
stones should see that thev are
preserved. 1t makes surveying
expensive TO the land owners and
must in the future give rise to
disputed titles. This is something
that all people are interested in,
and they should not only see that
corner stones in which they are
interested are preserved at their
proper places but must be inter-
ested in seeing that others do not
DESTROY them. Workers of roads
have been unusually careless in
grading them out. Also those
stones located along the river bot
toms which are constantly filling
up should be kept uncovered or
other stones placed above them
for witness stones. The govern
ment in 1855 set stones at all sec
tlon and quarter section corners.
All future subdivisions Of land
must be made in the same straight
line or in lines parallel with these
stones. Each one should appoint
himself a guardian to see that
these stones are carefully pre-
served.

afternoon in the Steele cemetery
to the memory of Sovereign Nc
Pherson, amid appropriate and
pleasing ceremonies. The men,
bers met at their lodge room at
2 o'clock p. m, where the line
OF march was formed, which in.
cluded the lodge with their drill
tea an, the Circle, f o l.
lowed by many of our citizens
in carriages. AT the cemetery
there was, besides the beautiful
ritualistic service, an able ad-
dress by Deputy Davis.
The weather was ideal, which
helped materially to swell the
crowd, and all returned to their
homes feeling better for having
witnessed this beautiful evi.
dence OF brotherly love.
The exercises began by singing
Nearer My God to Thee" fol-
lowed by prayer by Rev. DIR.
Bailey, pastor of the Presbyterian
church Miss Stumbo recited the
poem. 20, why should the Spirit
of Mortal be Proud?" in a very
beautiful manner, after which the
unveiling ceremony was performed
by Sovereign w. w. Hanna, &C.
assisted by the officers of the Camp
Sovereign Hanna is very efficient
officer and his part, as well as that
of his assistants, was well per-
formed. The Grafton was deliv-
cred by Rev. Thomas ID. Davis,
NJ. A., of Tecumseh, as follows:
Consul, Commander, Sovereigns
and Friends
This is the seventh time that
you have met here in this beauti-
ful cemetery to unveil monu-
ment to a Sovereign Woodman.
Last October | assisted in the un.
yelling of the 2lst at Nebraska
City, but this makes $1,000 monu-
ments altogether which the Wood
men of the World have already
erected to their departed. Sover-
eigns, you may ask today, Why are
monuments erected and the answer
is Love. Love is the fundamental
cause of all true acts and deeds.
The Master said when he was upon
earth, "Greater love hath no man
than this that he lay down his life
for his friends.
Love is the foundation principle
of true life, Jesus taught the
true life and also the way of sal
walton. He came to save the
world and also to set an example
for us. Every act of His was
founded upon love. Love is the
basis of all true fraternalism. We
may ask what love does? BY look.
ing over the history of the past,
We find that it has commemorated
the great events of the past by the
erection of monuments.
When Joshua led the Israelitish
hosts across the River Jordan to
the promised land by the city of
Jerico, stones were carried by
representatives of the twelve tribes
to build monument for memor.
ial OF that notable event that when
in coming generations they might
ask concerning that structure, and
it would be told them of the love
of God for his children and the
wonderful deliverence which He
gave them.
Egypt is known as the cradle of
arts and science, and she built one
hundred great pyramids to com
memorate her great power in the
days of her prosperity and success
and to mark the graves of her
great kings. The catacombs of
Rome which are an amazement
and wonder to the American tray.
eler were places to bury their dead.
There were labyrinths and grottos
in Syria and Phoenicia built IN
honor of the dead. Many monu-
ments which were made AT differ.

GIVEN A SHAKE up.
Washburn Football Lineup VIII
Contain New Faces.

| A shake-up in the Washburn foot
ball eleven, is the result of the weak
Indifferent game which the local col
| legians put up against the Kansas
Foster will be shifted to the sidelines
and their places taken by Mcknight
and Codding. Bretnour will be
shifted to a tackle position and Whit

The lineup which will start the game
| against Paramount at Wichita, Fri
day afternoon will be: Larimer, left
end; Brethour. left tackle; Realm,
| left guard; Codding, center; Nc
Knight, right guard; Templeton, right
tackle: Robb, right end; Hope,
| quarterback; Smiley, left half; Nc
Vey. right half; Whitney. fullback.
Coach Weede thinks this change
will strengthen the line. Neither
Munford nor Foster have played
strong games this season. Mcknight
and was given his first chance
| against Kansas in the last few min
utes of play. He gave a good ac-
count of himself at guard and al
| strong and husky and plays very
aggressive game. Codding can play
center about as well as any line
position. Brethour is at his best
fullback, Coach Weede thinks that
| the back field will be fully as strong
| as before while the line will probably
be stronger.
This change is in the nature of an
experiment but if it works better, it
will be a permanent lineup for the
remainder of the season.
Coach Weede, although feeling that
his team was out classed by Kansas
| last Saturday, does not feel that the
Washburn team played up to it's
form. In fact there were only about
four players who played a good game

remainder were simply deadwood. So
dopey did the local team perform
that the forward pass and onside
kicks failed to gain ground. Several
| times the locals tried the onside kick
with four men down the field to re-
| ceive it. Johnson of Kansas would
run in and catch the ball while the
Washburn men played the part of on
| lockers. And the Washburn tackIing
| closely resembled game of tag. 1t
was the poorest tackling that the
Washburn bunch has pulled off this
| season.
Weede hopes to remedy by the
change. He is giving the men plenty
of work in the new positions and
hopes to have a much stronger team to
go against the Wheatshockers.
The game will be played Friday
the thirteenth, which ordinarily is a
very poor combination. But Coach
Weede is not the least bit super
stitious. eve have had all the bad
luck we could have and how could
Friday, the thirteenth, make things
any worse" was the comment of
Coach Weede this MORNING
The officials of the game will be:
Samuels, Emporia, referee; Wade,
Fredonia, umpire; Edison, Usage
City, field Judge; Gardner, Wichita,
head linesman.
The Washburn team will leave at
noon Thursday and will have a nights
rest in Wichita before playing.

SCOTTISH RITE REUNION.
Will Be Held in Topeka on November
II, 10 and 10.

The fall reunion of the Scottish Rite
Masons will be held in Topeka on Novem-
Der IT, IS and 10. A large list of candi-
dates for the various Scottish Rite de-
RreeS will be received into membership.
The handsome illustrated programme of
the event which has been issued gives
the following interesting Information
ments which have been made at the Ma
sonic temple:
I'VE have greatly felt the need of en-
largement, but the opportunity for such
an Improvement has not presented itself
until this summer. The Elks, who for
many years have occupied the entire
third floor. vacated these premises on
on the corner of Seventh and Jackson
streets. At special meeting of our
Scottish Rite bodies held for the purpose
of considering this question. it was I'M
antmouslv voted to remodel the third floor
for Masonic uses. and this work was at
once undertaken.
The plans contemplated an additional
lodge room, a banquet room capable OF
seating twelve hundred people, a model
kitchen. and ample reading, writing, rest
and toilet rooms, etc. In this remodeling,
steel and iron construction was required,
and as the changes progressed other i'm
provements not at first contemplated be
rewriting in iron conduits throughout the
building and a new tubular high pressure
boiler for heating purposes, and add very
materially to the comfort, safety and
value of the Temple property.
"At this writing the work of remodel
ali will be practically completed by the
date set for our reunion. thus enabling
us to welcome our members in our en-
larged and improved quarters"

Statements obtained Tuesday from
a number of Cooper's callers who
have tried the medicine are very
strong. Among them Mr.. Oscar Dan
ner, of 70 Nelson street, Brooklyn
was specially emphatic. He said: 81

slant indigestion and stomach trou-

gestion knows what this means. I
don't think anything about this Coop

don't believe Cooper ever had a more
skeptical man taking his medicine
than was when L started, because
had tried everything on the face of
the globe trying to get relief I ac-
tually refused to believe the medicine
was helping me the first few days. I
had to admit it, however Today I
sleep like a log, have a fine appetite
and can eat anything. The medicine

FIRST DREADNAUGHT.
Battleship North Dakota Is Launched
at Fore River Yards.

Quincy. Mass, Nov. 1O.-The battle
ship North Dakota, the first American
vessel of the Dreadnaught class, was
launched at the yards of the Fore River
Shipbuilding company at Quincy Point
today. The launching took place at
1927.
As the massive hull of the North Da-
kota stood upon the ways ready for
launching it presented none of the war
like appearance of the finished battle
ship. Save for a few temporary fit
tings the decks We're bare and lacked
the martial aspect supplied by the
great guns and secondary batteries,
which are to be installed later. Even
the great boilers of the fighting ship
had not been installed.
The armament is to consist of range
rifles, fourteen 5 inch rapid fire guns;

caliber; and two 81 inch submerged
torpedo tubes.
The battleship will have a dispIace-

the original British Dreadnaught 1t is
estimated that a speed of more than 81
knots will be attained on her trial and
that the battleship's horse power viii

FOUGHT HARD TO RETAIN
FORMULA THAT MADE MONEY
Court Decision Finally Gives Westerner Permanent
Right To Remarkable Medicine

L. T. Cooper, who believes that
stomach trouble causes ninety per
cent of the ill-health of the present
generation, has been in New York
three weeks. His claims are now adj
mitted by an astonishing number of
New Workers, and the young man is
winning new adherents every day.
Cooper stated Tuesday that fifty
thousand people in New York city
alone are now trying his medicine. An
hour spent at the young mans head
quarters where he is meeting the pub
lie, would indicate this statement to
be correct. judging from the numbers
who call in that length of time.
In speaking of his success. recently,
Cooper said: 81 believed ten years
ago that anyone who could produce
a formula that would regulate the
stomach would have a fortune. When
I got hold of this formula I knew
within a month 1 was right and my
fortune was made. 1 called the med
icine Cooper's New Discovery, al
though I did not get up the formula.
l have owned it, however, for three
years. I have had one lawsuit over
it, which 1 won in the Cincinnati
courts. When 1t was settled The
Cooper Medicine Company, of Dayton,
Ohio, became the only company in
the world that can prepare the medi-
cine. The medicine has sold like
wildfire wherever introduced. I knew
