all our life on the cookery of
good WEIGH mother and a Welsh
wife, we know what Welsh rab-
bit is. Take a tin pie plate and
cover the bottom of it over with
slices of good cream cheese, cut a
quarter of an inch thick. On top
of that put a haIf-dozen full-length
slices of good breakfast bacon. Put
the whole in a hot oven until the
cheese is melted and you have real
Welsh rabbit and if you add to that
nicely buttered toast and good cup
of coffee, Tin England or Wales cup
Of tea) you have set before you
the rarest, richest breakfast ever set
before a civilized man. That's an
other fool notion some people have
in this country, too-that Welsh rab-
bit is a night feed. It's for break
ast-wienerwurst and kraut is the
midnight grub.-Concordia Kansan.

THE SEA.

what of it? Everyone is supposed to
have some impression of the sea pc
culiar to himself, yet common to the
race. And so far as the writer hereof
is concerned he Is ashamed to say
how ordinary, how utterly common
place and unpoetic are his impress"
sions of the sea after week OF it.
We get what we bring to foreign
parts; no more, no less. And the sea,
which has inspired eloquence anu
song in men since time began, seems
to affaint after weary week OF 1t like
a stretch of Kansas upland, gently
rolling in place, broken and rocky
worth about $3.50 an acre-in other
places, and in still other places level
land. Looking at 1t more or less for
an entire afternoon, about the deep
est emotion that came to this de-
ponent, was a vague feeling that we
would soon get out of the high
ground into the bottom and see some
timber. The whole aspect of the sea
is like Scott, Lane and Ness counties,
in Western Kansas, viewed from the
top of freight car as the writer saw
them in the eighties, before the tim
Der claimants had dotted the plains
with cottonwood trees. So as we
plowed our way through the barren
watery wilderness, always through
the corners of the minds eye OF this
plainsman, at least, he saw a rough
new country, about to be staked out
and settled, wherein times will be
better in the spring, and wherein one
good rain will insure bumper wheat
crop! So are we bound to our past
so do we take our dead selves In
to whatever future we may make Tor
The sea, the mountains,
the forests and the great cities are all
plains to the plainsman; and to the
sailor, they are all the sea.-Wil-
liam Allen White.

NOW IT rs sCOTT's TURN.

Nothing is very definitely fixed in
this world. For instance, there was
that statement about the hosiery
made in Japan. The Lawrence Ca
zette, says: 1.-The Gazette started
something along high tide lines, it
seems. The firm of Marshall Field
& Co., who, as may well be believed,
are constant readers of the Gazette,
discovered the remarks quoted by
Congressman Scott in reference to the
manufacture of hosiery in Japan by
that firm. An absolute and flat de-
NAL of that the firm owns those fac
tories, but they go outside the record,
and declare that they never buy any
goods of the kind in Japan. The
Gazette, along with Marshall Field
G Co., puts its up to Congressman
Scott, with the confident assurance
that he has sleeves long enough to
conceal the cards he did not play on
the first hand" We shall wait for
Mr.. Scott's remarks.

COsT 81 BEING nfPOLITE.


You never know when a case OF
Impoliteness is going to come home
to roost. This fact is emphasized
anew by story that the Holton Sig
nal has produced from somewhere,
to illustrate that even from selfish
viewpoint 1t pays to be polite and
accommodating. 1t is much finer, as
the Signal observes, to be polite
when ones heart is in the right place,
but everybody ought to be polite, II
only as a financial investment.
A snub inflicted years ago upon
an American couple who were spend
ing their honeymoon abroad has been
paid for at last Slight as the affair
seemed at the moment, 1t has de-
veloped enough Importance to lose
Henry White, ambassador at Paris,
his post in spite Of his long exper-
fence in various important capitals
of Europe and his other claims to
notice. The resignation of Ambassa-
dor White has been received at the
White House and 1t was accepted in
the usual stereotyped fashion.
1t was back in 1885 that William
Howard Taft and his bride, pair of
comparatively unimportast but bliss
full newlyweds, were doing their
honeymoon in Europe. In the course
of their rainbow rambles they came
to Vienna, where Diplomat White
was then secretary Of legation. There
was some afternoon function Of the
unimportant sort coming off within
q day or SO, which was given some
degree of interest by the fact that
royalty would be the center thereof
Mrs. Newlywed was just dying to see
royalty; Mr.. Newlywed promised that
his bride should see all that was to
be visible on the afternoon in ques-
ton. He asked Secretary White to
see about securing admission cards.
The request might have been full
filled by the slightest hint from the
legation secretary to the proper Off
cial. But Mr.. White was not in that
mood.
On the morning Of the day for the
function Secretary White sent the
following little note to Mr.. Newly
wed:
II am sorry to inform you that l
was unable to accomplish what you
asked. The affair is very exclusive.
The number of invitations is limited
and they have been ordered sent only
to persons of importance and distinc-
ton. l inclose, however, tickets to
the museum, and trust that Mrs. Taft
and yourself will spend a pleasant
afternoon.
One of the first clouds had appear
ed in the Taft honeymoon, and the
new wife's disappointment was deep.
The letter still remains in the Taft
memory and archives, and 1t is the
all-important document in the cause
of Ambassador Henry White.

Those who contribute 35 cents
each, as the members of the Woman's
Relief Corps are doing, and those who
are sending the $1.O0 subscription in
answer to the story by D. O. McCray
of Topeka, so widely published in the
newspapers, are planting the seeds OF
patriotism that are bearing fruit to-
day.
If you never visit the hallowed
ground, your contribution will aid
in converting this historic spot into
a place of beauty, which is sacred to
the memory of those who preserved
our Union.
A. R. Greene, former Commander
of the Department of Kansas, G. A.
R., sends $1.00, and with it the fol-
lowing sentiment: II beg to COM
mend your patriotic purpose to pur-
chase the John Brown battlefield at
Osawatomie, and preserve and beau
tify 1t as a memorial to the cause of
universal freedom. Let the grass
and flowers that shall spring from
the soil, enriched by the blood of
the heroes who fell there, be an ever
recurring reminder of the blessings
that have come to the country from
the truer and loftier Interpretation
of the Declaration Of Independence.
Lest we forget"
/ have faith in the patriotism OF
the splendid manhood Of Kansas,
and do not believe they will permit
this worthy,movement to fail. About
one-half Of the old battlefield is COW
cred with oak and shell-bark hickory,
an ideal place for children to play in
the shade and breathe the fresh air.
Its purchase and improvement would
be the first practical step in Kansas
to further the advancement OF the
Fresh Air problem SO recently agi-
tated by the medical fraternity as a
preventative of tuberculosis.
The Legislature passed the resolu-
ton to accept it for the state as
Memorial Park, if the Woman's RELIEF
Corps would purchase and dedicate
IL to the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, which is the original plan. Gov
ernor Stubbs has signed the joint
resolution.
This is a grand opportunity to
preserve as a Memorial Park the
ground hallowed by the blood OF
natriots, who struck the first blow
for human liberty. The patriotism
we desire to impress upon the minds
Of our children, "lest they forget,
can best be done by an object lesson
by preserving and identifying forever
This ground in memory Of the early
history that made Kansas the most
noted in the sisterhood of states ana

sWATING THE FLIES

Since it has been determined at
headquarters to abolish the flies, you
might as we'll paste these board-of-
health rules in your hat, first as last:
Screen all food and keep flies
away from it.
Keep the streets clean.
Keep stable Misunderstanding
places for flies-in vault or pit, or
screen Enclosure, and sprinkle its
surface with chloride of lime.
Quickly cover up food after a
meal, and bury or burn table refuse.
Keep damp clothes near meat
dishes, milk jugs, and other food
receptacles.
Burn pyrethrum powder in the
house. 1t will kill most Of the flies,
and those it does not will fall stun
ned, when they may be swept up
and burned. Sticky fly-papers are a
second-rate palliative.
Remember that the exposure of
any kind of refuse near a dwelling
furnishes a breeding place for flies,
and, II food is exposed, the flies win
deposit germs upon it.
paste these rules up where you
will see them as often as you see a
fly, and remember it is part of
your duty to yourself, as well as the
community, to assist in the fight"
