EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON
Health is a duty.

Health is a duty.
+ Health is an adornment.
1 don't believe any one, if he stops
| 30 think, will deny either of those
facts. And yet, how many people are
really ashamed when they fail in that
duty or lack that adornment?
ST give myself but five hours sleep
d night heard man say the other
{ ay.
If he breaks down he will doubtless
be very resentful and unhappy, but I
aCubt if he will be what he really
ought to be-ashamed.
"Oh, yes, I have some glasses, and
the doctor says I ought to wear them
all the time, but I don't like the looks
ut them and L seldom wear them eX-
cept at home,' declared girl knew,
apparently rather glorying in that
childish vanity.
If her eyes give out, since she de-
ponds upon them for her livelihood,
She will undoubtedly be heartbroken,
ut 1 doubt if she will remember to be
ashamed.
In the earlier part of the nineteenth
century it was considered highly at
tractive for woman to be rather deli
cate. and almost vulgar for her to be
/ thoroughly robust and healthy.
l have heard people say how glad
hey are that we have gotten rid of
that idea, but I don't think we have
together.
Look at the girls in your acquaint-
ance who are considered pretty girls
Look at the pictures of pretty girls in
she magazines and newspapers.
Health is by no means always an
element of their beauty. But I think
il should be.
I think we should as soon think of
calling girl beautiful who is not
healthy as a house or temple archi-
Ntecturally beautiful when it is not
built on a good foundation.
realize that we cannot all make
ourselves entirely healthy. but we can
all do a good deal towards it. and we
ian all learn to be proud of possessing
health and ashamed rather than sorry
when we do not possess it.
When people are ashamed to be
sick
When no one will think of calling a
girl pretty unless she is healthy
When we shall hide the fact that
some one of our family has been i'll
with almost as much shame as we
WOULD if he went to jail
When i'll health shall be regarded as
Tar more of a disgrace than poverty
Then the perfectly healthy man or
woman will be the rule rather than the
exception.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The state printer of Kansas has seen
fit to make a defense of his report. 1t
needed defense. But why should he
feel such a burning interest in the
question of grinding out school books
for the children of Kansas, if he will
not be the one to carry his pledges
into effect?
He says be will not again be a can
didate for the office, and he will not
therefore have the disbursement of the
immense sums necessary in order to
begin and carry forward a large manu-
featuring business.
The state printer of California in
1888 stated that he would need only "a
mere trif1e'' to fit the state office to do
the printing and binding. After the
law was passed this trif1e expanded to
$115, ZOO, as is shown by the governors
message of 1885. It has kept on ex-
panding ever since. until now the state
has half a million dollars invested in
the plant. This office has been in the
control of five different state printers
and under each one the result has
been the same.
The books manufactured by the state
cost almost exactly the same as the
retail list prices of books made by
made estimates. So did the California
state printer. Mr.. McNeaI has had no
experience in making school books
The state of California has had TWEEN
ty-one years of experience. Mr.. Nc
Neal asserts that books can be made
at wonderfully low prices. The officers
of the state of California every year
take a solemn oath that the prices at
which the books are sold in that state
are actual cost of manufacture and
they give the figures to prove it.
Here are the prices at which the
California books are sold to the pupils
of that state, and each is followed by
the price at which anyone in the United
States can buy precisely the same book
in the open market.

HE TAGS BONAPARTE.
TiIIman Puts Attorney General in
AnaniaS Class.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Addressing the
senate for the second time in regard to
the allegations concerning him, in re-
gard to Oregon lands. Senator Tillman
today made reply to utterances of At
torney General Bonaparte and Postmas-
ter General Myer. He quoted the por-
ton of Mr.. Bonaparte's statement Of
last Monday, in which the latter said
that Tillman had not told him of his
desire to obtain some of the Ia nds IN
question and fatty contradicted the
head of the department of Justice. He
declared that he had been entirely
frank with Mr.. Bonaparte and had
fully explained to him his interest in
those lands
He attributed the attorney generals
attitude to a desire to bolster up the
president"
Postmaster General Myer was brought
into the discussion because of a state
ment made by him regarding the in
vestigation of the Dorr case. Nj. Till
man said Mr.. Myers effort to make it
appear that inquiry had been directed
originally against Dorr was not based

on the truth. He declared that from
the first the inquiry had been directed
against him, TiLman, and not against
Dorr. Mr.. Tillman was also careful to
bring out the fact that the land which
he attempted to get was not govern
ment land at ALL but land granted as
far back as 1868 under the condition that
it should be sold at $3.50 per acre
Mr.. Tillman read a letter he had re-
ceived from Attorney General Bona
parte in response to his verbal request
made yesterday for information con-
corning the legal proceedings that have
been brought by the department of JUS
tice, against the Southern Oregon COM
pany which holds the two million acres
of timber land granted in connection
with the Coos Bay wagon road.
Mr.. Tillman closed with a renewal Of
his demand for an investigation. He
said he was prepared for anything, even
the knife of the assassin.

WANT 1T FORGOTTEN.
People of COffeyviIIe Object to Pictures
of Dalton Raid.

Coffeyville, kan, Jan At did
not mean to lead Ex-Governor Hoch to
think that the Commercial club of
CoffeyvilIe was backing the making of
moving picture films of the Dalton raid
on Coffeyville,' said Emmett Dalton
here today. 1.-THE organization refer
red to is known as the chamber Of
commerce, and I stated that CONNER
cial men of the city approved of the
plan, although I am in no way finan-
cially interested in the scheme.
az told the manufacturers of the
films that 1 would assist them to make
the pictures as true to life as possible,
providing they were gotten up in a
commendable manner, and so taken
that they may be used in first class
entertainments for moral purposes.
Unless they are so arranged as to pro-
duce such an effect on those who see
them, I will positively not approve of
them being shown and 1 will do what
I can to prohibit their exhibition"
Dalton made this statement after
he had read dispatch from Topeka.
He was inclined to think that there
was a misunderstanding in what these
films were to portray, and further re-
marked that when a boy had he seen
such pictures as these will be he would
likely have never been in bank raid.

fcation, convinced the officers that
they have the right men.
Proudly was arrested at 10 o'clock.
Knowing the ease with which alibis
are found, the officers told Proudly
that he was wanted for investigation
on something that just happened. AS
a consequence Steve had a sure thing
alibi fixed up for $50, he had come
home from town along Sixth street
with Enochs at 6 O'Clock and had been
home ever since until the officer came.
Now o'clock was the time at Sixth
when Mrs. Jewell was robbed and Mr..
Enochs was also there, so Steve was
very dangerously tricked into a near
confession.
Steve and Harve We're conducted to
the county Jail from the city prison
after Mrs. Jewell had gotten the war
rants by Sergeant Ross and Detective
Sauls. Steve is a great racer and to
avoid his eel like slipperiness he was
escorted with a wrist clamp.
The officers are quite willing that the
two be sent to the penitentiary for they
have caused more trouble than any
other half dozen. The negroes, how
ever, claim that there is nothing to the
charge and that they are being
"iObbed."

POLICE JOTTINGS.

Somebody got a swell masquerade
outfit and a well travelled portmanteau
besides as souvenir of the Grand
Opera company's visit to Topeka and
the police are looking for the person
as the Italian Grand Opera company
was leaving Topeka a leather case en-
tireIv covered with stickers pasted
thereon in a tour through Europe and
containing clothes and costumes for
the stage was stolen from the baggage
car or from a truck. The case be-
longed to NJ. Gerico Merola, who is one
of the conductors for the company.
Whether the clothes are his or cos
1t is possible that some stage struck
young person will blossom out in To-
peka one of these days and get into
jail.
Steve Proudly and Harvey Enochs,
the two negroes suspected Of robbing
Mrs. c. E. Jewell near her home on
Sixth avenue Tuesday evening, have
been identified as the men wanted and
Mrs. Jewell swore out warrants for
them this morning charging them with
robbery. When the men ran, after
snatching the purse Mrs. Jewell fol-
lowed them. They fed across the street
by the Holiday residence and through
a back yard where their tracks were
clean cut in the fresh snow. When
captured, Proudly wore overshoes but
tracks and it was found that one line
of footsteps showed overshoe marks
and the other did not. Proudy's over
shoes just fit the footprints with over
shoes. while Enochs' shoes just fit the
heel cut tracks. This, with the identi-
