HIGH HEELS In COURT.

Twice recently in New Jersey wo-
men have lost cases in court because
they wore high heels on their shoes.
Damage suits were brought against
street car companies because of inju-
ries sustained by the women in alight-
ing from the cars.
The companies showed in court that
the plaintiffs were wearing shoes with
opera heels at the time of the acct.
dents, and the suits were dismissed.
In legal phrase, these women were
guilty Of ''contributory negligence"
That is to say, if you have an acct
dent and you have contributed to the
negligence of the company by your
negligence you are guilty along with
the company and cannot recover.
1t was held to be negligence on the
part Of the women that they should
wear high heels that tended to trip
them on the steps of the cars.
Well
No mere man can quite conceive why
any woman should want to wear this
kind of stilted foot gear.
Is it because she conceives the idea
that her foot looks smaller in such an
unnatural posture? AS a matter Of
fact, the foot of my lady appears lar
ger in such a situation.
And her carriage!
No ordinary woman is able to main
tain a graceful poise Of her body on
stilted shoes. A danseuse who has de-
voted her life and talents to posing on
her toes may do so without awkward
ness. but the Impractical woman who
tries it makes a really pitiful spectacle
of herself.
That the high heeled shoe is I'M
healthy goes without saying.

The curious thing to the average
masculine mind is how a poor creature
can transport herself at all under such

LUTHER BURBANK. BENEFAcToR

Ever hear OF incorporating a man?
That is what they have done with
Luther Burbank, the plant wizard-in-
corporated him into the Luther Bur
bank Products company.
They say corporations have no soul,
but this corporation certainly has a
soul-the soul Of Luther Burbank.
twenty-five years ago Mr.. Burbank
came into public notice by his produc-
ton of the potato which bears his
name. In the years since he has
wrought wonders in the perfection Of
plant life by his crossbreeding.
For instance
He has produced a plum with the
taste and texture Of a Bartlett pear.
He has eliminated the thorn from
many varieties Of fruit and has pro
duced a spineless cactus. There Is
scarcely a vegetable or fruit or flower
on which he has not made improve
ments.
OF all these "the dehorning Of the
cactus" is believed to be his greatest
accomplishment.

Xerxes, the great Persian, tried to
impose his oriental civilization on Eu-
rope, and he might have succeeded but
for the Greeks.
In beating back the hosts of Xerxes
the Greeks exhausted themselves. 1t
was their last great fight for a new
civilization.
When Xerxes put his vast army on
war footing he organized an effec-
tive commissary department Among
other things Xerxes carried large
amount of alfalfa for horse fodder.
The seeds of the alfalfa were scat
tered far and wide, and for hundreds
of years Europe has used this rich
forage. Today this great plant is
making the transmississippi region a
rich one.
And thus is there a soul of good
ness even in war.
Thousands of men who fought I'M

READ THIS TO THE CHILDREN.

READ THIS TO THE CHILDREN.
This is a fairy story-a true fairy
story.
And, strangely enough, the little girl
of this fairy tale is her own fairy,
though she doesn't know it.
This fairy went to bed one night
poor and awoke up the next morning
worth $4,000. Doesn't that sound like
some other fairy had waved its wand
over this fairy while she slept?
Her name is Hazel-Hazel Klegin-
and she lives in South Omaha, Neb.
She is twelve years old and is a good
little girl, kind. gentle and helpful to
all about her
Hazel's parents formerly lived in
Sioux City, and because Hazel when
she was little bit of thing was so
sweet and kind and gracious a man in
that town who was a neighbor took a
great fancy to the little girl, whom he
called his BLACK haired fairy" Ha-
eel Klegin has black hair in long
braids and twinkling black eyes.
Well
Two years ago the HIGGINS moved to
South Omaha, and shortly after that
the father died. Hazers mother was
obliged to take in washing in order to
buy food for Hazel and her little
brother.
Now, can you fancy a little fairy
carrying big bundles of washing?
This black haired fairy did that.
And some days the past winter the
weather was very cold, and sometimes
the bundles were heavy, but she never
complained. She kept on smiling like
a good little fairy. and everybody loved
her.
And now she is an heiress.
Her old friend. Mr.. Matthews of
Sioux City, bequeathed her the little
fortune because she was such a sunny
and kind little girl.
And Hazel says:
81 am so happy because mamma
won't have to wash any more. She has
rheumatism dreadfully, and sometimes
she has to wash with one arm. 1t is
awfully hard then, and 1t nearly breaks
her back. She didn't use to have to
wash"
You see. the good Sioux City man
made no mistake about Hazel being a
fairy.
Fairies do not care much about them
selves. They are always trying to
make other people happy. And that is
why fairy Hazel Klegin is happy. She
makes others happy.
She felt so sorry about her mothers
and the ache in her back.
oh, the fairy stories are not all in
