John Henpeck when he took a wife
Thought that meant happiness for life,
But Wedlock often turns out wrong
Because a Womln's tongues too long.
And then her mother would chin in,
And round her tongue would spin at him.
So John got henpecked night and day
And sought to take his life away.

WHY don't YOU play a trick or two

Just then John saw an oaken plank

TO MAKE SECRET WRITING.
Two Methods by Which Only Those
Who Know May Read.

VINO NnoW way nedu.
Professor Gross of Germany has dis
covered and made public a simple
method Of invisible writing which has
been used extensively by prisoners for
communicating with their friends with
out the knowledge of the authorities.
The information Is of interest and
value. You simply take a sheet of or
binary writing paper. moisten it well.
lay it fiat on piece of glass or other
very hard and smooth surface, lay
dry sheet of paper over it and then
write your message on the dry sheet
with a hard pencil.
Then destroy the dry sheet and let
the moist paper dry in the free air mot
heated) and you will not notice any
thing has ever been written on it, On
moistening this sheet again. however,
the writing shows very plainly in
white, and the operation can be re-
peated any number Of times The eX-
PLANTATION is that the pressure of the
pencil on the damp paper makes it
more compact, so that when wet the
writing becomes translucent.
Another simple kind of secret writ
ing can be done with ordinary lemon
juice. Merely write with clean pen,
using lemon juice instead of ink. and
when it is dry it will be invisible.
When you hold the writing over a
lamp. however, it quickly develops so
YOU can read it. Children can have Il
good deal of fun making such expert
ments as these. which are very help
full in getting them interested in scien
tifc and other practical matters.-The

Land of Perpetual Spring.

The most singular plateau in the
world is in the island of Papua. The
plateau is elevated 5000 feet above
the sea. and there are SUBMITS tower
ing 5000 feet higher. but the close
proximity of the equator has covered
the great plain with luXuriant vegeta-
ton. The climate is a perpetual May,
birds sing in every bush. and the only
animals are a few marsupials. such as
ground kangaroos and possums. Yet
this lovely region is literally deserted.
The million Papuans live in the swell
tering coast jungles and only occa-
sionally stray to the uplands.

Thinks Cradlebaugh Foolish.

Geo. o. Blake, former Delta editor,
has the following in the Olathe Cri-
terion:
Cradlebaugh has been acquitted.
He killed the man who ran away with
his wife and boy. He may have been
justified on account of the boy.
But his case calls to mind the fact that
the 'unwritten law" is being worked
overtime as a defense for homocide.
No married woman with modcum of
ordinary common sense and -trifle
of self respect is ever lied astray"
without her own connivance. She
knows how to put quietus on the
first suggestion of improperly. When
the wife is "enticed" away and the
husband sho is the enticer he is fool
as well as murderer. He has killed
a man who has done what in all proba-
bility he himself, as well as large
per cent of his male fellows would
have done in the same case-surren-
dered to the Establishments of a woman

Fruitland Mesa TO Haze Water.

Residents on Fruitland Mesa under

canal, will soon have water on their
land. Everything is practically in
readiness to turn 1t in as soon as divi-
sion boxes along the canal can be
installed. The company has adopted
the Stokes System as the authorized
method of distributing their water.
This we believe is the best system in
use. for every man owning stock in
company will get no more nor less than
is coming to him. The Times office
this week turned out a quantity of
printed matter for the company.

the shot wounds.
Nelson and his wife have been living
under a peculiar agreement. which gave

Fifteen men had been employed on the
work, and IL is supposed that many
were working when the accident oc-

Why Bridgman fastened Back.
II have been asked several times to-

what has angered me more than any

MISUNDERSTANDING of the whole matter
If the millions Of people who have taken
sides on the subject would try to ac-
quaint themselves with certain facts all
doubt would be dissipated.
Cooks action, In clOaking his start
for the North with mystery, was I'M
sportsmanlike. He knew that Peary
had spent nearly twenty years in his

plans for reaching the goal on every
trip. Cook took advantage OF all Of
Peary's discOveries-rOutes facts about
