builder. for substitute title to be
adopted by the national dry farming
congress, which will have its fifth SEES
sion in Spokane early next fall.
His object is to secure name which
will be more appropriate than the
present one. Many officers and mem
bers of the organization believe that it
gives the wrong impression of the
aims and purposes Of the congress in
that the title dry farming is mis-
homer.
An attempt to change the name of
the organization at Billings. Mont, last
month resulted in clash, and the title
remained as formerly.

of his wife. who was out to bridge

The husband waited and waited and

for fear there wasn't going to be any
thing doing at all that night in the

He waited few minutes longer, and
then telephoned to the home where
the bridge session had been held. They
told him the other wing of his house

and all the places where his wife
might have dropped in. But he only
became more convinced that she was

bulance lines on the phone.
Then the door opened-this was an
hour or more after the dinner hour

charged that the vice-president, the

large number of representatives had
been bribed during the years 1867 and

for the benefit of the Union Pacific

Movements Shaping Art.

There are at present two definite
movements which are clearly shaping
the course Of American art. One Is
the movement of expansion. which has
fostered the creation Of many differ
ent and widely distributed centers OF
interest; the other is the tendency to
concentrate official aStiyity in single
typical spot. Owing to the callous
ness OF New York, the retrospective
habits Of Boston. the avowed inteTna.

that Philadelphia has always had a

An Italian show maestro who had

APPROACH OF DEATH PAINLESS
It Comes as Naturally and Is as We'll
come as Sleep.

The fear of death, which has been
so enormously expected in dramatic
literature. sacred ard otherwise is said
to be almost without existence in sick
moss. Most patients have lost ii COM
pe.cly by the time they become seri.
ously i'll.
Death and sleep are both painless,
according to DR.. Woods Hutchinson in
the American Magazine, and cause
neither fear nor anxiety by. their APP
proach. 1t is one of the most merciful
things in nature that the overwhelm-
ing majority of the poisons which de-
stroy life, whether they are those of In
fectious diseases or those which are
elaborated from the body's own waste
products, act as narcotics and abolish
consciousness long before the end
comes.
While death is not in any sense
analogous to sleep. it resembles 1t to
the extent that it is in the vast ma
full but welcome Pain racked and
fever scorched patients long for death
as the wearied toiler longs for sleep.
While many of the processes which
lead to death are painful, death itself
is painless, natural, like the fading of
a flower or the falling of leaf. Our
dear ones drift out on the ebbing tide
OF life without fear, without pain,
without regret. save for those they
leave behind When death comes
close enough so that we can see the
eyes behind the mask his face becomes
as welcome as that of his twin
brother" sleep.

Not the aknockersp of To-Day.

We are fond of specializing, as we
walk through street on the charac-
ter and pursuits of the people who in
habit it; and nothing so materially as
sists us IN these specn'ations as the
appearance of the house doors. The
various expressions of the human
countenance afford beautiful and in
teresting study; but there is some
thing in the physiognomy of street
door knockers almost as characteristic
and nearly AS infalliabe. Whenever
we visit man for the first time, we
contemplate the features of his knock
er with the greatest curiosity, for we
know that between the man and his
knocker there will Inevitably be a
greater or less degree of resemblance

oAN KNOW 7HlNoc TOO WELL.
Sometimes Too Wed Trained Mem

Very often folks get to know a
thing SO well that they don't have to
think to remember 1t. Take for in

have been living in the same house
in the same street for years your ad-
dress gets easier and easier to re-
call Except, sometimes. 1t doesn't
take the influence of liquor to make
you forget, either. 1t merely is that
you know 1t too well.
There was man who was In the
habit of writing letters to girl and
after year or so he got to know her
address by heart. One day, long aft
er he started writing to her. he was
addressing an envelope to the young
woman. when suddenly he became
suspicious of the number he had writ
ten. He read 1t aloud and tried 9TH
er schemes Of convincing himself. He
wrote the same numbers on other
sheets of paper. but they did not
seem entirely right.
Eventually he had to go over to
call on the girl, instead Of writing, in
order to satisfy himself that he still
knew the address. His figures had
been perfectly all right, but the trou-
BILE was that he knew them too we'll
That sometimes occurs to person

slips out so naturally that when by
chance the shopman repeats: BLANK
Blankety-blankth street," you begin
to wonder If you have it right after
all. And the first breath of suspicion
kills your chances of remembering
correctly. You simply have to go to
the directory to verify the place you
live in, and naturally that leads to
suspicious on, the part of the shop
keeper.
