NO PLACE FOR A STRAW HAT
Beginner at Golf Quickly Convinced of
 the Fact.

There was a good deal of the char. acteristic sraits of the Scotsman in old Tom Morris, the famous golfer, who has just died He was pawky, canny and of religious bent Of him many stories are told. When asked for his opinion regarding the playing of golf On Sunday, Tom wisely remarked that if the player did n need a rest the links did"
 Beginners had always large share of Toms sympathy. and he was ever ready to give them sound advice. Tom was astonished one day to find a raw callant who had armed himself with club and ball out on the links with a straw hat. You'll never get the right swing wi a thing like that on yer head, said Tom, and taking a club he showed the young man the proper swing. On trying it the neophyte just struck the back of his hat and knocked 1t off. cap was afterward found more suitable

HERE BABY IS NOT MONARCH.
Sensible Woman Has Had New Ar. rival Conform to Recognized
 Ways of Household.

tDon't you ever put the baby to bed?" an astonished visitor at last exclaimed, after the better part of the even ing had worn away and the child of six months was still sitting up. gooing cheerfully. The young mother laughed "Oh, yes," she explained with serene wisdom. We put baby to bed at 12 D. m. and he sleeps until 12 m. Then he has his bath and goes out in the go-cart and sleeps most of the after noon. Haven't you known many moth CTS who simply sacrifice all their time to the babies while they are little? I made up my mind before baby came that he would have to conform to our ways, not we conform to his. He has just as much sleep as babies who go to bed at six and sleep until six, and he doesn't interfere with our even ings. We can take him with us when we go out, or we can go feeling that he will be perfectly happy while we are away, because he won't cry for mother until midnight. We're regu. lar night-hawks, and so is baby"
 The visitor was speeches..
 Don't you think it's a good sys- tem?" the mother continued. "We think it is splendid"
 'T think" the visitor answered in non-committal tone, "that it would take New York mother to invent she system. ."-New York Times.
 Her Trouble.
 Old Mrs. Smith was a chronic com. plainer and was constantly sending for the family physician and giving him a list of her fancied ailments. He always listened quite patiently, but was getting a little tired of hearing the same things over and over.
 One day when the old lady con sidered herself in an unusually bad way she sent for the doctor, and after going over the usual list, ended by saving Really, doctor I do not know what in the world is wrong with me. 1 can neither lay nor set
 The doctor looked at her a moment, then said in solemn tone: Madam, you must be rooster"

 Thereafter Brown allowed them but one hit. The Nationals too. the lead in the eighth on base on balls and two doubles. Two more runs were added to their lead in the last inning when two men walked and a sacrifice and a stolen base a double following.

TROUBLE IS WITH THOUGHT.
Too Many Messages, Written and Spoken, That Do Not Convey
 Real Meaning.

Probably this may not appear at first sight serious question, but 1t IS serious, it is seriously asked and It is well worth a serious answer. Once upon a time a young preacher went to an old preacher and told him ae found difficulty in making his con. gregation understand exactly what he wished to convey.
 What is the trouble?" asked the elder man.
 Well" said the young man, T know what I mean to say--I under stand exactly what I mean--but, somehow, I don't seem to be able to make my meaning clear to others"
 My boy" said the old man, don't be offended at what I say to you, but a man thinks as he speaks and speaks as he thinks when he is trying to con- vey an idea. The fact that your con kregation doesn't grasp your sermon shows that your thinking is what might be called sloppy"
 And he was absolutely right. How many writers and speakers give you a clear-cut, precise impression of their idea? How many times have you heard man say: Well, perhaps that doesn't exactly express it, but--er--r, oh, you know what I mean" Such people are frequently impatient with those who do not understand them, yet their impatience has no founda- tion of reason. The fault is their own. Their written or spoken words do not convey a clear meaning because the thought that inspires the words is not clear.

Where Kansas Came In.

Kansas had some part in saw
ing THE Republic'-the steam
ship this time not the country.
The Lawrence Gazette has this
story about the help that Profes-
sor Lucien Blake'S invention
played in the incident and some
thing about the invention and the
man:
Almost as valuable as the
wireless telegraph in locoting
the damaged Atlantic liner Re
public Saturday was the Blake's
system of submarine signals
adopted the last two years by
ocean liners. 1t was the first
time the signals have been used
in accident, and long after the
wireless of the Republic had
ceased to work the Lucania and
the Baltic followed the drifting
and helpless Republic until they
found it.
Even after locating the dis
abled steamer the Lucania and
Baltic were four hours getting to
it. The signal would sometimes
be to port and then to the star
board, as the Republic drifted
and turned, zigzagged and turned
and drifted in an ocean haze.
Changing their course every time
the bells indicated and at the
same time keeping in touch with
each other to avoid an accident,
the two steamers continued I'M
til the liner doomed out of the fog.

RAISED FUNDS AND HAD JOKE
Typical Anecdote Concerning Whistler,
the Eccentric Artist.

Whistler's most recent biography
has this to say of his early life in
Paris: Though frequently hard up,
Whistler had an income which seemed
princely to students who lived on moth
ing at all. If Whistler had money in
his pockets, Mr.. Ionires says, he
spent it royalty on others. If his
pockets were empty he managed to
refill them in a way that still amazes
M. Oulevey, who, in proof of 1t, told
us of the night when, after the cafe
where they had squandered their last
sous on kirsch had closed, he and
Lambert and Whistler adjourned to
the Halles for supper, ordered the
best and ate 1T. Then he and Lambert
stayed in the restaurant as hostages,
while Whistler, at dawn, went on to
find money to pay He was back
when they awoke with 300 or 400
francs in his pocket. He had been to
see an American friend, he said, a
painter, And, do you know, he had
the bad manners to abuse the situa-
tion-he insisted on my looking at his

In guiding the liners to it the
signals of the Republic were
more effective within the radius
of their operation than the wire
less would have been had it CON
tinued in operation. The sound
of the bells gives an idea of it's
direction, whereas the wireless
does not indicate direction.
Professor Lucien l. Blake I'M
til two years ago the head of the
department of physics in the I'm
versity of Kansas, is the inventor
of the submarine signals. In
1895 Professor Blake began his
EXPERIMENTS and in 1905 he per
fected the system to a degree
that it was used successfully be-
tween ships five miles apart.
The submarine signal invented
by Professor Blake consists of
an electrical attachment below
the water line of the ships hull
that reproduces the sounds emf
mating from similar instruments
placed on points of shoals or on
other ships. The system con
forms simply to the well known
principle of transmitting sound
through water. His first expert
ment was made on the Kaw river
at Lawrence. He secured a pat
ent a few years ago on this sys.
TEN, which makes ship collisions
an impossibility. Vessels in
the fog will automatically make
their presence known to similar
ly equipped vessels in the five
mile radius.

It's Your Kidneys.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Wa-Keeney Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect
their kidneys. If suffering from
lame, weak or aching back they
think that it is only a muscular
weakness; when urinary trouble
sets in they think it will soon cor
rect itself And so it is with all
the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure
these troubles or they may lead
to diabetes or Bright's disease.
The best remedy to use is Doan's
Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills
which are caused by weak or dis
eaSed kidneys. Wa-Keeney PEG
pie testify to permanent cures.
John Reddig. farmer living 3
miles south of Wa-Keeney, Kan,
says: My wife used Doan's Kid
ney pills some time ago when suf
fering from an attack of backache
with the best of results. The
pain was across the small of her
back and would get SO bad at
times that she could not sleep.
There was also a tendency to pass
the kidney secretions frequently.
Doan's Kidney pills, which we
purchased at W. W. Gibson's
drug store, entirely relieved her
and she thinks there is nothing
equal to them as kidney RENE

In Uncle Sam IS mostfavoredpet,

But glide round with the mail;
But one thing almost break my
heart,
And my nervous system shocks;
It's the everlasting pennies
That I'm fishing from the box.
I carry stamps and envelopes,
And postal cards and such;
And would like to sell few
TWould please me very much;
But man can't sell unless you

No matter how he talks;
So / have to keep on diving
After pennies in the box.
It's alright in the springtime,
Or when summer breezes blow;
But different proposition
When its thirty-two below;
When all your fingers and your
toes
Are frozen hard as rocks,
It's most anything but funny
Scratching pennies from the
And now, quite confidentiaIly,
I'll tell you something more;
A rural carrier (way out west)
Forgot himself and swore;
Says he: Il can stand the snow
drifts,
/ can stand the frozen locks,
But blast the measly pennies
In that blasted measly box"
When the roll is called up yon-
der"
And we all shall gather there,
They wouldn't let mail man in
If they knew he'd learned to

If you want ST. Peter to open the
gate
When your rural carrier knocks,
Buy stamps and don't be guilty
OF putting pennies in the box.

gree, there is usually some member

nized hardness with a gun, carries
the day. Some thought he'd ought to
