An unfortunate thing happened to
Aunt Rhinocolura Betz of Betzville,
and for some time she had to tempo
rarily retire from the best Betzville
society, in which she is accustomed to
mingle freely. Six months ago Aunt
Rhinocolura began taking the new

waves arrived at her home every
Thursday at 10 a. m. Although long
leader of Betzville society, Aunt
Rhinocolura's nose has been thorn

OF its very pugginess. Experts in

coluras nose was the limit. 1t was SO

bridge, and tilt toward higher and
better things. For many years Aunt
RAinocolura intended seeing a beauty
doctor about it, but kept putting it
Off until she received the circular
from the Philadelphia man, who
claimed to be able to beautify at
long range Although not having much
faith she decided to try him.
For several treatments she did not
seem to notice that the thought waves
were having any effect on her nose,
but she decided to be patient, know
ing it was an extreme case, her nose
having become chronic, as the doctors
say, and tough, but she did what she

stayed over another treatment, and
the only way Aunt Rhinocolura could
tell she had nose at all was by feel
ing for it gently with her little finger.
Then she could feel something that
felt like grain of salt
Then Cousin Gildad came right out
and said he was having something
done, and that he was taking thought
waves from a beauty doctor at Phila-
delphia. and that the waves came
every Wednesday at 4 p. m, but that
he was getting hopeless. He said the
thing was warts. He had had three
warts on the back of his left hand.
and he was taking the thought-wave
treatment to have them removed, but
that as soon as the treatment began
the warts began to grow, until they
were so long he had to braid them
and do them up in coil to keep from
stepping on them. He said he hoped
1T was part of the cure, but that if
they got much longer he would write
to the man. He said no man could OK

By that time Aunt Rhinocclura's
nose had shrunk until it was a mere

Cousin Gildad that they ought to write

But the doctor was most accommo-
dating man, and he wrote that, al
though their course of treatment had
expired in both cases. he would give
them a post graduate course at only
half price. So the next Thursday at
10 a. m. he began, and at 1915 Aunt
Rhinocolura had enough nose to see
with a microscope, but it was still
more of den. than bump. And the

keeping her nose well vaselined and
by massaging it with the fiat of her
thumb to render it soft and sympa-
thetic. At the eighth treatment how
ever, she gave this up, for she was
I startled to find that, as she supposed,
the massaging was gradually pushing

I er two more treatments, she found
+ that her nose would no longer hold

doctor was really having some effect.
At first Aunt Rhinocolura was sur
prised to find her nose lessening in
this way, and it was quite an annoy
ance not to be able to wear her nose

nettes. which she could hold in her
hand, and got along very we'll. AS
for her nose retreating little, she
looked at it logically. She knew she
had very stubborn case of nose, and
that it would be quite feat to turn
it into an arstocratic nose, with a
Decline profile, and she knew that
when a jumper is going to make an
extraordinarily hard jump he usually
steps back few feet to get good
start. and she thought that probably
her nose was just backing up little
to get a good ready for big squirt
So Aunt Rhinocolura rested peace

Poor Farms as Experiment Stations.
Much interest is being taken
throughout the state over the work of
organized by Superintendent ]. H.
Miller of the Farmers Institute de-
partment and his assistants. The law
passed by the late legislature setting
aside these farms or a portion of
them is now being more fully under
stood as the organizers are going from
county to county and the more it is
understood the more it is finding fav-
or with the farmers in every section.
1t will be an effective means of bring
ing the work of the college to those
who can not come to it. The law az
passed provided for the use Of the
county poor farms for this purpose.
These farms during the recent years
of Kansas prosperity have largely lost
the purpose for which they were es-
tablished and being maintained. Be-
sides these farms being placed under
the charge of the college agricultural
specialist, any private farmer may
place his farm or portions of it under
the direction of the F.rmers' Institute
officials which will 81 = him all the
benefit of their knowleds z and expert
ence and will require bue little extra
work on his part. Several farmers in
various parts of the state are already
in communication with the depart
ment with a view to taking advantage
of this opportunity. A farmer near
Scott City is arranging to put his en-
tire farm of 300 acres in charge of
this department of the couege.

To Inspect Student Boarding Houses
In order to safeguard as far as pos
sible the welfare of the students who
will come to the University of Kan
sas this fall, the University author1-
ties have appointed an official in
spector to examine all houses where
university students will room Special
note will be taken of the sanitary con-
dition of all premises, and those
which meet the approval of the in
spector will be placed on the univer-
sity's approved list Students have
already begun to write to Registrator
Foster regarding rooming accommoda-
lions for next year, and it is from
this approved list that all recon-
mendations are made. Premises which
are grown up in weeds will not be APP
proved, nor will those which have
water supplies of doubtful purity. An
other reform which the university has
been trying for years to bring about
Is the discontinuance of allowing both
men and women to room in the same
house, and any landlady who wishes
her house approved must agree to
keep all men or all women. About
a month will be required to complete
the inspection of rooming places.

Path of Visitors.

Washington.-TheI latest guide book
enumerates 81 pieces of statuary out
of-doors in Washington But that was
a year or two ago, and the capital
has craze for setting up new monu-
mcnts week by week. Nobody knows
how many there are now.
And the most striking thing about
the whole collection is that nobody
is tempted to look at any of them a
second time. The Thomas looks like
the Logan and the Logan like the
Scott and the Scott like the Sherman
and so on to the end. All of which
has been frequently commented on by
distracted visitors
The object of this writing, however,
is to set forth the one exception to
the rule. Perhaps there are two. No
reasonable quarrel could be had with
the person who should stop and look
twice at the Borlum Sheridan" in
Sheridan circle. The bronze figures
of horse and rider are remarkable
embodiments of power and action.
But the one figure in all Washington
that is in a class by itself is rarely
seen by visitors. 1t is that nameless
haunting shape that sits on the gran
tie bench under a thick clump of
trees in Rock Creek cemetery-the
st. Gaudens bronze in memory of Mrs.
Henry Adams.

skirts of the city beyond the grounds

and shrubbery on a secluded hillside.
Hidden within is a granite floor, with
crescent-shaped bench of granite at
one end, and at the other a shrouded
figure seated with its back to a heavy
granite wall
There is no leaving this figure with
a glance. Whether you will or no,
you stop and wonder. ST. Gaudens
himself used to explain that it was in

human experience. Sometimes the
model used was a man, sometimes a
woman
To one who inquired what it meant
he replied:
''Oh, l don't know. 1 suppose 1 had
in mind as much as anything the
mystery of the whole business"
Once when the sculptor and John
Hay entered the Enclosure together a
visitor who was there asked ST. Gau-
dens what he called the figure. He
hesitated and then said:

rs it not 'Happiness?' the visitor
persisted.
No. he said, 1T is beyond pain
and beyond joy
Henry Adams wrote to Richard
Watson Glider:
The whole meaning and feeling of
the figure is in its universally and
anonymity. My own name for it is

tion,'' John Hay wrote, Infinite wis
dom, a past without beginning and a
future without end, repose after linn

nothing matters-an are embodied in
this austere and beautiful face and
form"
A peace to which nothing matters,
the mystery of the whole business
perhaps it is. The ordinary visitor
only knows that here at least is one
sculptured figure which calls him ir-
resistib1y to sit and wonder.

Graft skin From Amputated Limb.

Mahlen Nichols, a farmers boy,
fell from the lead horse while cutting
wheat and the machine ran into him
so injuring his foot that amputation
was necessary. In Abilene was a boy
who had been hurt by the train, and
would die unless skin could be pro-
cured to graft on his side. Advertise
ments for volunteers to furnish skin
was in vain and the physicians tried
the experiment OF taking the skin
from the amputated foot and using it.
This proved satisfactory, and the
wound is healing well with the pros
