a dollar. You can spend it at home,
gain an easy conscience, make an

dollar back tomorrow, or you send
it away, feel that you have sinned,
offended the home merchant and
forever lose the dollar and the

A baby in the beet growing districts of Kansas is actually worth real mon ey. The sugar company knows this and about the first question its mana ger asks when making up lease for some beet land is the number of chil- dren in the family. The more chil- dren the more money win be advanced by the sugar company and the more land a man can lease. Also the sugar company will give longer time and better terms to the man with a wa gonload of small boys, and. girls than to a family whose members may ride in one seat. So youngsters are mighty valuable adjunct to the Kan sas sugar beet grower. He needs them in his business.
 To the man who is not afraid of getting down on his hands and knees and picking little weeds out of the ground. who does not mind having his back blistered by a scorching sun. who knows how to handle a hoe. who does not mind wading in water. west ern Kansas offers an exceptional op- portunity If he will do his share tine lands will make him rich within a short time.

The custom of which I whisper-nO man would dare utter such treason alOud-.is apparently the Outgrowth of royal etiquette. The Persian king Ar taXerxes had a good many people to wait upon him. judging from the ac- counts in the local Persian press at the time he was flourishing the royal scepter. He had specialist for every want He had a napkin groom. a meat handler, an entree carrier and a des- sert dispenser Indeed for every dish. and for every wish, he had a particu- lar person to wait on him. Now this custom of Artaxerxes was handed down. to him from his predecessors. and he handed it down tO his success DTS. and they in their turn kept it up until it reached England, where in time every nobleman had a train of flunkies to wait on him at table. Then the thing was brought over to this country and every man who is rich , enough to afford it has ablebOdied men standing around him.
 Nobody desires to interfere with this citizen. who can pay for it. being surrounded by as many flunkies as he wants. But owing to that Anglo Saxon trait. which serves to make it imperative on us to initiate those richer than ourselves. the simple mid dle class citizen is everywhere ex- pccted by his wife to subject himself to as much inconvenience and gastro- --,ical disturbances as possible be- fore he can get what he is paying for and needs.
 How many husbands are there over the length and breadth of this as- sumedly free country who are often waiting for a piece of bread? How many are there who. with flushed but irritated nervous systems. are trying to catch the eyes of their wives. hop ing that they will give the signal to have passed to them the butter. which lies on the serving table beyond their reach, but which has to take> it's proper turn2
 The idea of having dishes within reach from which one can help ones self with ease and certainty is now not good form.

blow goes deep into the soil and dumps the beets out on top of the ground. It is almost impossible to pull full grown beet out by hand. The beet is about sixteen inches long and has a tap root of from five to ten feet. Then the tops are cut off and the beets are ready for hauling for shipment to the sugar plant.
 Until this year much of. the beet de- liveries have been made by wagon. This necessitated long and expensive haul. Above Garden City the Atchi- son. Topeka & Santa Fe railroad had loading stations for beets. but all the beets grown north of Garden City had to be hauled by wagon to the factory.

Good Friday Customs.

All through Christendom there pre-
vail many curious customs and be-
lefs in regard to Good Friday. In
Florida it is thought that If three
loaves Of bread baked on that day
be placed in the corncrib mice will be
prevented from nibbling the corn, nor
will the crib be invaded by rats,
weasles or worms.
In many European countries on
Good Friday there are eaten cakes
marked with a cross. In England
they consist of a sort Of spice cake,
with a sugared top, and are called
Hot Cross Buns.
Many charities take place on the
day. One Of the most curious Is held
at the Church Of st. Bartholomew
the Great, Smithfeld. After sermon
the rector places on a gravestone
twenty-one siXpences, which are to be
picked up by as many poor widows,
who have heard the sermon. The
custom originated in the will Of a GER
tain lady, who left funds to pay for
the sermon and provide the siXpences.
If any of the widows have fingers too
stiff to pick up the money, they for
felt It, At the Church Of All Hallows,
London, buns are distributed TO the
children of the Sunday-school and the
ward school. In the Church Of Glen
than, Lincolnshire, there used to
take place an odd performance known
as Washing Molly Crimes" The
church contains an old stone image,
popularity spoken of as Molly Grimes,
and every Good Friday the figure
was washed by seven old maids OF

Curious Good Friday Observances.

In the Isle of Man it is reckoned
unlucky to put iron in the fire on
Good Friday, and, instead Of tongs
and poker, one has to use stick cut
from rowan tree.
In Croatia and Slavonia the people
take whips to church with them, and
after service they beat each other
fresh and healthy" They may have
some notion that the beating drives
out the demons of disease, or else 1t
is done in memory Of the flagellation
of Christ.
In many places Judas Iscariot It
flogged or burnt in efllgy. The Por-
tuguese and South American ships in
the port of London usually hasa a
celebration of this sort. At daybreak
a wooden figure, rudely carved to rep
resent Judas and clothed in ordinary
sailors clothes and red worsted cap,
is hoisted by n rope around its neck
TO the forerigging. The crews Of the
various vessels then go to chapel
On their return the figure is lowered
and ducked In the dock three times
Raised aboard again, IL is dragged
around the deck and lashed till it's
garments are in shreds. The ship's
| bells keep ringing meanwhile and the
captain distributes grog. The crews
work themselves up into paroxysms
OF fury, Judas is cursed and de-
nounced, and finally the image is set
on fire and consumed amid cheers.
