VENICE OF AMERICA

"Venice of America is fourteen miles from Los Angeles.
 The most unique Beach resort on the Pacific coast.
 Among it's many attractions is the largest dance pavilion in the world, the largest skating rink in the world and the largest and finest bath house and plunge on the Pacific coast. Open all the time.
 One of the advantages that Venice has over resorts is the fact that one can secure at a most moderate cost, beautiful and attractive villas and bungalows ranging from seventeen dollars and a half to thirty-five dol lars a month. which includes light, water and laundry. These villas are situated on the Venice canals, con- yeniently near to the ocean. ! Venice is also well supplied with first-class restaurants at popular pric- es and every thing that goes to make up for high class Seaside resort.
 Those who wish to bring teams. will find first class stable accommodations at moderate prices.
 Perhaps one of the greatest attrac- tions of Venice is it's equitable cli- mate. From May until November. the hardly varies.
 To those who wish to secure a pleasant summer vacation for moderate costs, Venice of America certainly should be 1t.

 To keep an army from suicide two things are seen to be absolutely necessary-a strong medical force and a strong support of its author ity. Neither of these has ever digni- fled our armies.
 Instead of being a place where danger multiplies from within, an army camp should be the safest of all resorts for a healthy man to visit. Only in such a place can he and his ,neighbors be subjected to the most rigid watchfulness, the most cautious feeding, the purest air and water, and the most regular exercise. In our armies, as was the case with the Japanese armies, the medical author Iity should be well-night supreme.

They left last week, the former for her home in Berkeley and the latter for her home in Mineral Point, Wis.

MIDNIGHT SHOOTING.

The peaceful sIumbers of the resi- dents of Farmers addition were rudely disturbed at midnight Satur- day night by a bunch of Mexicans and Yaquis on the warpath.

GLOBE SIGHTS.

[From the Atchison G1obe.1
It is hard lesson to learn, but peo-

talk, and air your opinions. notice
how soon you are interrupted; those
listening to you do not care what you
think.
A great many people do not know

hotel, but get a city directory to find
out if anyone lives in that town whom
they once knew, in order that they
may visit
A man belonging to a political party
is in the same position as a married
man: Unless he votes the straight
ticket there are those who say: HE
is not true to his party" in the same
shocked voice the gossips use in say
ing a man is not "True to his wife"
The boys who go away to school
learn a great many new kinds of devil
ment- The average business man
would go into bankruptcy if he put any

right, but it has lots of fool trimmings.

1t is never embarrassing in a novel
for a rich man to find a lot of poor
kin. There is always a vacancy in a
bank, where the rich man finds good
position for the oldest son, who soon
becomes the banks president. An
other child shows a genius for paint
ing and the rich man sends him to
italy to study. In month or two the
child returns a great artist. But how
different in real life! All, how vastly
different!
An Atchison man is said to have
been discharged because he held such
long conversations every day with dear
creatures over the telephone. 1t was
not his fault; he could not shut them
off, and they didn't know better than
to call him up. He was a worthy
young man, but his employer got tired
of hearing such nonsense as this:

The Pratt Union tells of a man who

Fred Hitchcock. of Kiowa county, is

Surely is there a decidedly unsophis-
ticated newspaper man working in
Wellington. He wrote a piece recently
about a man being missing from home

next sentence he told that the mans

had been visiting at his home for some
time.
A farmer near Hutchinson had a lit
tie orphan pig, few days old, that he
didn't know what to do with. 1t was
too cute to kill, and he hadn't time to
raise it by hand" So, pending a de-
cision, he left it in a sunny corner of
the yard. Under the house there was
a mother dog with puppies, and this
wise old girl settled the question by
formally adopting the pig, which grew
and thriEed, and became an ornament
to her family. The pig has now been
reduced to sausage, but the romance
remains.-Emporia Gazette.
Much has been printed about the man

prone to fault finding and SO many stor-
les are retold that this field furnishes
the clever writer with a never ending
theme. OF course many stories are re-
told, but why should they not be?
Don't we chuckle over the stories we
have heard months after we hear them?
Are they not just as good for all that
we have heard them once? Why knock
on the old stories when there is moth
ing new under the sun? We confess
that we want to fight when we tell a
man a story and when on the next story
telling occasion he springs the story
as his own and asks the crowd,
Haven't you ever heard that old story

HANDSHAKING

An eminent scientist has discovered
that disease germs are often COM
municated by the process of hand
shaking, and it may be possible that
the Eskimo custom of rubbing noses
will be substituted, as a form of
greeting.
Certain it is that handshaking is a
silly function, when you consider 1t
fairly. If people were properly edu-
Gated in handshaking, it wouldn't be
so bad; but no two men shake
alike; and as for a woman's hand
shake, it is something SO lifeless and
ghostly as to send chills down a
strong mans back.
There are men who pride them
selves upon the strength of their
grip, and the Foolkiller seems to
have overlooked them; they crush
the bones in your fingers, and ex-
pect you to enjoy it. There are men
with hands SO cold and ffabby that it
is like grasping a dead mackerel to
shake with them. There are others
who make you mad by holding out
two fingers; and you have all met
the abominab1e citizen who won't let
go of your hand, but hangs to it,
and pumps away until you wish he
had never been born.
Frenchmen look silly to Americans
when they embrace upon meeting,

FROM OTHER PENS
RAILROAD RATES AND WAGES.

Chairman Knapp, of the commerce
commission in a recent paper emphas-
lied a point to be considered in any
readjustment of railroad rates, a point
too often overlooked when the general
subject of rates which public service
corporations are permitted to exact is
under discussion IT do not hesitate to
voice my desire" he is quoted as say
ing, ito see our railroads make earn
ings which will permit them to pay lib
eraI wages to an adequate number of
competent men,"
The public rightly demands that it be
given the best possible service by these
corporations at the lowest possible rate.
So much is properly expected of those
who conduct business by virtue of a
right conferred on them by the public.
But it must not be forgotten that there
is another side to the question, that IL
rates are forced down until earnings
approach the point of disappearance
the wages of the employees are likely to
suffer along with the income of the
heads of the organization. Year after
year the standard of living among men
gradually rises and no one would wish
to check the advance, for 1t means
better civilization, more comforts and
more pleasures. Wages gradually rise
to keep pace with this advancing level
of culture.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

DISEASE AS AN OCCUPATION.
A New York man was Drought pc

When you think of it, he was prob
ably not far wrong. If anything VIII
keep a man occupied it is pet trouble
like rheumatism or Indigestion. Give
it a chance and it will make other
mundane matters relatively unimpor-
tant. 1t will prove the most exacting
of occupations.
1t has one advantage over the ord1-
nary ones; hard times can't interfere
with it. Every factory in the world
may close, but the man who makes
his disease his occupation need not
work His occupation VIII not De
touched 1t will always be open, be-
yond all "chance and change or the
unsteady planets" But 1t has the ad-
vantage that it tends to grow more
and more onerous- A man begins,
