BATHROOM NOTICES

It is very odd that while notices
have been made. invented and Dor
rowed for every other room in the
house. the bathroom should be mot
toless. Verses appropriate to the
guestroom come prettily framed, the
dining-room walls sometimes show a
mural decoration OF GOOD cheer, an ap-
propriate verse is carved into the, Il
brary mantel, while smoking-room, den
and living room each boasts a special
incentive to smoke, loaf, or indulge in
CHEEKY chatter in painted Photographed
or stenciled verse or prose. Only the
bathroom remains m~ottoless.
No invitation to turn on as hot a
bath as one wishes adorns its walls.
No cheerful assurance that "in this
house water is a luxury, not a recess
sity, so use 1t at will" Not even the
commonplace that cleanliness is next
to goodness serves as an inducement
for the children to become amphibious
oftener than they are driven.
Surely. with 90 vast a field for inven-
ton or imitation, there should be no
dearth of notices for the bathroom.

WHERE HE SHOT

Some years age when there we're
pigeon shooting and heavy betting at
the Nottingham club in England an
amusing incident occurred. 1t was a
Saturday, and there was a very large
attendance Of both shooters and
guests.
Among the entries for the cup was
a very young nobleman, say 81 or %
years old, who had just come into the
title and estates of one of the oldest
earldoms in Great Britain. He had
money to burn" as the saying is.
When he was called to the traps he
backed himself to win, laying EGO
to eight with the betting ring" and
among the members of the club.
The noble earl missed clean with
both barrels, and after removing the
empty shells from his gun he saun-
tered back toward the scoring tent,
but stopped half way to speak to Jack
Hammond. the man who supplied the

Her AnsWer.

An Atchison girl had a proposal of
marriage Sunday night and asked a
week to think it over. She went to all
of her married sisters. One, who used
to be a belle, had three children, did all
her own work and hadn't been to the
theater or out riding since she was
married. Another, whose husband was
a promising young man at the time
she vas married, was supporting
him. A third didn't dare say
her life was her own when her hus-
band was around, and a fourth was d.
vorced. After visiting them and hear
ing their woes, the heroine Of this lit
tie tale went home, got pen, ink and
paper and wrote an answer to the

Terrific Waste Of Natural Gas.

Natural gas sufficient to light the
streets and homes, heat the buildings
and turn the factory wheels of every
enterprise in Chicago, st. Louis and
New Orleans is going to waste In the
Caddo gas and oil fields near Shreve-
port, La, at the rate of 100, 900, 900 Gu
bic feet a day. Gas is rushing from the
bowels of the earth through two wild
wells and over fifty gas and oil wells
left %uncapped. The crater of m wild
well covers over two acres. The atten-
ton of President Roosevelt has been
attracted to conditions and by his or
der all public lands lying in Caddo n
Bossier parishes have been withdrawn
from entry until the government may
take what steps are deemed necessary
to stop the terrific waste and preserve
what Is conceded to be the greatest
gas field in the western hemisphere.
In the meantime, says the Technical
World Magazine, the city OF Shreve-
port is thronged with oil investors

claims have been filed on govern
ment lands near the oil wells, the price

and armed guards stand watch over
ground which is claimed under various
acts and entries applicable to the sc.
curing of public lands. This territory
is underlaid with two strata Of gas
sand, averaging from 40 to lao feet in
width, the first 500 to 900 feet beneath
the surface and the second lying be-
tween 1900 and 1900 feet. The gas
sands show their greatest width at
Morningsport, which lies in the more
southern portion of the field.

Apparently South America, which is
rich in material possibilities if not in
ready cash, finds little difficulty in get
ting capital with which to prosecute
promising enterprises. The latest
proof of this is the arrangement with
foreign financiers for constructing a
line that will be an important link in
the Longitudinal railroad, which when
completed will traverse practically the
entire length of Chile, a distance Of
5000 miles or more. The Longitudinal
road will be a sort of backbone with
numerous side connections and must
have an important effect in developing
the interior of the country. Moreover,
and of still more consequence in an in
ternational sense, the line will be a
great addition to the three Americas
system which is certain to be COM
pleted at no distant day.

As q much-needed stone in the great
organizational structure that william
Booth has been building during the
past AZ years, this idea of a school
for the systematic training of his
workers has been in his mind for sew
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many of the details and he has Just
consented to the beginning Of pre-
liminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Need Of Trained Workers.
The scheme for a University Of Hu.

uplift work has grown from local eff
forts to help a few into a great in
elusive movement which must miss
none, the problems Of organization
have grown greater. Charity has be-
come a science and its application an
art requiring the highest development
of personal qualities of insight and
altruism.

Gen. Booth. Those women, for in

New York.-With great mass meet

eightieth birthday Of its founder and

In America the day was marked

Gen. Evans of Georgia wants the dull
thud and the scared flesh removed
from our literature. He would have the
hangman's necktie and the electric
rocking chair sent to the museum
along with other relics of barbarous
ages. He would have the convicted
one lie down to quiet slumbers and go
gently over by the chloroform route.
All our tendencies are in that direc-
ton, although it may take some time
to effect the reform. 1t will be OBJ
served that no n advocates that the
criminal, however execrable, be talked
to death.
