How to Work.

Do it cheerfully, even if it is not
congenial.
Make it a stepping stone to some
thing higher.
Do it in the spirit of an artist,
not an artisan.
Endeavor to do it better than it
has ever been done before.
Make perfection your aim and
be satisfied with nothing less.
Do not try to do it with a part of
yourself the weaker part.
Keep yourself in condition to do
it as well as it can be done.
Accept the disagreeable part of
it as cheerfully as the agreeable.
Choose fit is possible the voca-
ton for which nature has fitted
you.
See how much you can put into
it, instead of how much you can
take out of it.
Remember that work well done
is the highest testimonial of charac-
ter you can receive.
Train the eye. the ear. the hands,
the mind = all the faculties-in the
faithful doing of it. = Successful
Farming.

Pointed Arrows.

Charity kivers a multitude er
sinners; en- den Lawd knows, some
er 'em is raggedy enough ter need
all de kiver she kin pile on 'um!
Some women are so inquisitive
that they would even try to pump
an organ.
The fellow who boasts that he
has never made an enemy must be
a sort of a human jelly-fish.
The fast youth should be made
to realize that the race is not al
ways to the swift.
A woman's idea of a stingy man
is one who never pays her compli-
ments.
He seldom amounts to much who
continually boasts of his kindness.
A stitch in time is better than a
disastrous rip.
If you cannot get what you like
try to like what you get.
Many a man who is unable to
do the things he would is too lazy
to do the things he could.
1t is such a grievous pity that
the woman who knows how to
manage a husband never had one
and probably never will have

If a young husband fails to kiss
his wife when he comes home all
the girls notice it.
You can't tell size of a mans
bank account by the length of his
daughters feather
Have you ever noticed that you
no sooner get one trouble off your
hands than another comes along?
A young mother in Atchison has

In recent paper w. E. Gray
states that the manufacture of tin
plates originated in Bohemia, ham,
mered iron plates having been coat
ed with tin in that country some
time before the year 1900. Tin
plate making was introduced into
England from Saxony in 1865, and
the first tinplate factory in France

U. S. Senate for Reed.

The passage of the Union depot
ordinance last night ends a strug-
Gle for new Union station and
adequate terminal facilities that
has virtually lasted a quarter of a
century, since Jay Gould promised
the improvement to Kansas City.
The greatest obstacle in the past
seven years has been an inability
to make a contract that would pro-
tect the business interests and
shippers of Kansas City. The peo-
pie demanded to be protected
against excessive switching charges.
At this juncture the shippers
employed James A. Reed as their
counsel in the pending negotiations.
This was fortunate for the bust
ness interests, fortunate for the
railroads and fortunate for Kansas
City. Mr.. Reed within a short time
drafted a shipping clause which
gave ample protection to the ship
ping interests and which at the
same time, eliminates the legal OBJ
jectiOns of the railroads. His plan
cannot be called a compromise; he
gave to each side all for which it
had commended; the shippers were
given full protection.
1t is not the first service of the
kind that he has rendered Kansas
City. When the Republican coun-
Gil under the administration of
Mayor Neff we're preparing to fast
en- on Kansas City 40 cent gas he,
in company with R. j. Ingraham
and Frank Hagerman, who were
employed by another class of pub
lic-spirited citizens, took up the
cudgel for the people secured in
functions in the courts against the
passage of the ordinance, carried
the litigation to a successful con-
clusiOn and, as a result, our people
today have Is cent gas.
His record as mayor of Kansas
City is a record of achievement.
Under the most adverse circum-
stances and after the rights of the
city had been granted away he
forced the street railway company
to enter into a new contract with
the city, securing many ineStimable
benefits which had been IMPROVE
IDENTIFY lost. He introduced tele-
phone competition, reduced almost
one-half the cost of electric light
and created altogether new and
higher standard for the conduct of
municipal affairs in Kansas City.
There is a widespread demand
that Mr.. Reed become a candidate
for United States senator and there
is now little doubt that he will be
in the race next year; if he does he
will have the enthusiastic support
of the united Democracy of Jackson
county and that support Joined
with the strong following he has in
all parts of Missouri ought to make
him easily successful. e Kansas

also some fine linen insertion that

The six handkerchiefs were Joined

ming lengthwise and two across. This
put two handkerchiefs side by side
In each of the three rows.
The strip was doubled over through
the middle row of handkerchiefs and
the outer edges overcast together In
tiny stitches. The bag was lined with
lawn and color Of the blue vine and
the ends were bound In an inch-wide
facing OF the lawn. which was used as
a casing. A good quality Of blue wash
ribbon was used for draw string.
In the center OF the upper left hand
