CIVILIZED MAN ALONE SHORES.
Unpleasant Habit Absolutely Unknown
Among Savases.

1t Is truism that one ever heard
OF snoring savage. In fact, if the wild
man of the woods and plains does not
sleep quietly, he runs the risk of being
discovered by his enemy, and the scalp
OF the snorer would soon adorn the
belt OF his crafty and more quietly
sleeping adversary With civilization,
however, we have changed all this, de-
clares a writer in Health. The i'm
pure air of our sleeping rooms induces
all manner of catarrhal affections. The
nasal passages are the first to become
affected. Instead of warming the in
spired air on the way to the lungs, and
removing from it the dangerous impur-
tiles with which it is loaded, the
nose becomes obstructed A part of
the air enters and escapes by the
mouth. The veil of the palate vi
brates between the two currents-that
through the mouth and the one still
passing through the partially closed
nostrils-like torn sail in the wind.
The snore, then means that the sleep
ers mouth is partially open. that his
nose is partially closed, and that his
lungs are in danger from the air not
being properly warmed and purified.
From the continued operation of these
causes-the increase of impure air in
sleeping rooms and permitting habit
ual snorers to escape killing and
scalping-some scientist has predict
ed that in the future all men (and all
women, tool will snore. 1t goes along
with decay of the teeth and badness.

FEW WORDS, BUT TO THE POINT.
Elder Evidently Meant There Should
Be No Misunderstanding.

Last summer the congregation Of a
little kirk in the Highlands of Scotland
was greatly disturbed and mystifed by
the appearance in its midst Of an Eng
lish lady who made use of an ear trum.
pet during the sermon-such an in
strument being entirely unknown in
those simple parts.
There was much discussion OF the
matter, and it was finally decided that
one of the elders-who had great 10.
cal reputation as a man Of parts
should be deputed to settle the ques-
tion.
On the next Sabbath the uncon-
scious offender again made her ap-
pearance and again produced the trum.
pet, whereupon the chosen elder rose
from his seat and marched down the
aisle to where the old lady sat, and,
entreating her with an upraised finger,
said. sternly:

a FINE CHARITY.

Something unique in the realms OF
rublic philanthrOpic endeavor, at least
in these parts, is being started under
wav in Anthony, Harper county,
through the munifcence of the late
John D. Brown. He was one of the
eninently successful men in that sec
+ion of the state and was further dis
t1nguished by being one OF the few
lsuccessfuI Democratic politicians N
Kansas, having served constituency
for several terms in the state house OF
representatives.
In disnosing of a valuable estate, Mr.
Brown bequea thed $4,000 to be held py
three trustees and to form the princi-
nal of what will be known for all time
as che public relief fund of Anthony.
Kansas" The interest from this fund
which will amount to $1,000 a year, as
the trustees have invested it in bonds
hearing the 5 per cent rate, is to be
devoted to helping relieve such poverty
es may exist or develop in Anthony.
While this sum is not a large one 1t
will probably go a great ways toward
Isssuasing the poverty stricken of that
town. They are surely not numerous,
for that community is most thriving
lone. And anyhow. there is not much OF
Poverty throughout the length and
breadth of Kansas. Indeed, the Kan
sans of today do not know what pow
erty is as It is found in the large and
ccpgested centers of population in the
country-where many babies never get
an opportunity to see the light OF day
until they are strong enough to crawl
III the steps. leading from dark and
dirty cellars that have been their
| homes. and then it is found that these
little. innocent Enfortunates are blind.
But in Anthony, as in other places
in Kansas where prosperity generally
lre:gns COR ALL there are those from time
to time, who through sickness or some
| other untoward event, get down and
ard are worthy of the helping hand. II
lis such cases that will be extended re
lief through the forethought and kind
mess of Mr.. Brown. The charity he
has instituted il a fine one. 1t will
be a lasting testimonial to the fact
THAT he was imbued. as all men should
he hut as many men are not, with a
brotherIy love for all men. 1t is a
hiIanthrcpy that others might we'll en-
Mate for many of the smaller localities
lin Kansas are without ready means to
extend public charity at the very times
when It is most needed.

AAIENDMENTs ARE NEEDED.

In view of the fact that Senator
Cumrnins of Iowa is working on plans
for the amendment of what is known
as the commodities clause of the Hep
burn rate law so as to shut the rail-
roads out of the coal mining business,
directly or indirectly, it is interesting
TO note the methods employed by the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
railroad company in complying with
the INTERPRETATION of that particular
feature of the Hepburn law as it was
laid down by the supreme court of the
United States. The court held that
the railroads owning coal lands were
forbidden to transport their mined
coal, but must sell it at the mines.
This decision practically vitiated the
purpose of the law as will be seen by
the Lackawanna's procedure.
Not long ago the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Coal company was
| organized under the laws of New Jer-
sey. The directors of the railroad of
| similar name, which owns more coal
lands than any other road in America,
entered into a contract with the coal
company to sell to that company all
of the coal mined by the railroad COM
| pany, and the buyer to assume all
transportation charges from the mine.
The directors felt that funds should
also be available so that the stock
holders of the railroad could subscribe
for stock in the coal company. So a
special cash dividend of SO per cent
was declared, one-half to be paid in
