Vacation Dangers.

Many persons spend far too much
on the week or fortnight or month of
summer when they absent themselves
from their tasks. July loafing and De-
.cember gift-giving create two areas Of
expenditure whose outer edges may
touch and just about eclipse the mar
gin of a whole year. To live like a
lord" for a few days Is human wish
and has whatever merit lies in a rad
ical change from the. daily routine;
yet the wish is fathered in faulty.
Many persons look to a vacation to
make up the years arraeges in exer-
else, enjoyment and health, on the
theory that bird In the bush Is worth
several In the hand. Thus considered,
the vacation idea is menace, for one
cannot fail in his duty to his own
body for so weeks in the year and
make up for it in the other two. He
must carry good working balance in
the bank of good health, and never
oyerdraw 1t. The strength and spirits
stored up in his vacation should be so
much ahead, like an endowment life
policy come due. So far as the yaea-
ton habit is a symptom OF American
hustle, trying to square itself with ma
ture in hurry and all at once. it is
tar from coed thing.

gentle and singulariy beautiful face.
Almost unconsciously he moved a
little closer so as to observe her
better. A chord in his memory seemed
to have been touched. Surely he had
seen her somewhere before. When
and where could it have been? Not on
the stage or in q picture, he felt GER
tain. He thought long and earnestly,
but the. riddle remained unsolved.
Then by different channels his mind
travelled back through the years, to
the home Of his boyhood, the little
village, the river he used to swim in
and his farewell to Chelsea
And at this point memory supplied
the missing link. 1t was she-Lucy
Mayburn-the same little girl he had
loved so long ago. He unused on,
thinking tenderly of the night he left
for the great city, when he kissed her
gOOd-by and promised some day to
claim her as his wife. He even re-
called the tears that glistened ON her
face under the starlight of his last
hours at home. A mist obscured his
vision and something suspiciously like
sob fingered in his throat. Ten
years had passed. How quickly one
forgets, and sacred promises are
broken, while youthful affection dies
in the cold atmosphere Of the struggle
for fame and riches. A nameless long.
ing oppressed him. How he wished
he could talk to her. Perhaps through
the baby he might manage it.
The child responded to an invita-
ton to come and hear his watch tick.
No persuasion was needed to keep
her on his knee, for she was easily
amused. Presently the warm at
mOsphere, combined with the motion
Of the train, exercised a soothing eff
feet upon her, the blue eyes closed
languidly, and baby drifted into the
shadowland Of slumber. 1t was a new
role for Leith to play, this of nurse to
a sleeping infant, but he performed
it with zest which would have aston
ished his many bachelor associates,

WAS NOT GOVERNOR THEN.
Dignified Chief Executive of Missouri
as . Lawbreaker in His Col
lege Days.

Chase Brown of Chanute has pic.
ture taken in 1892, when he was
student at the University of Kansas,
of which he is very proud. The pic
ture shows students of the university
working out their poll tax down on
the streets of Lawrence. Among the
students whose likeness appear in the
picture is Herb Hadley, now known
by the more dignified term of Gov.
Hadley Of Missouri. Through polit-
ical row about so students were COM
PEELED to work out poll tax. The stu
dents who had to pay this tax were
each allowed to employ a couple of
helpers, and because of this the work
was soon completed. Herb Hadley,"
noxious lawbreaker of the whole bunch
that day. And most of the bunch
were engaged in breaking the law.
Hadley got Up on goods box and
it is said that in language not de-
signed for parlor use told the assem-
bled students just what he thought of
the town authorities that would CON-
pei students to work out poll tax. Mr..
Brown was not of age at the time and
he was working as a helper The
streets of Lawrence were improved
very little by the work the students
did that day. Crooked sticks, canes,
brooms and other formidable imple-
ments were used at the direction of
the street commissioner. who rather
sided with the students. The mayor
of the town passed along the street
in carriage and several students who
actually had shovels really filed them
with dirt, and threw the dirt into the
mayors conveyance. "-Chanute Trib-

Lord Rereaford,s wit

The Emerald isle is proud of Charlie
Beresford and Charlie is proud of his
native land and country. 'Irishmen
may have their faults" he SAYS, "but
give me an Irishman-the best fellow
that ever was. Could anybody tell
more stories than the Irish?"
One OF the best stories he ever
heard was about a fellow who was
very fond Of shooting. He said: 1.-THE
first bird ever shot was a squirrel
and the first time / hit him I missed
him altogether, and the next time
hit him took stone and dropped him
from the tree, and ne fell into the
water and was shot, and that was the
first bird ever shot,
And Lord Charles is never tired Of
quoting the story Of the Irish member

From Out of the Past
BY CHARLES L. DOYLE

AS the train rolled steadily on its
way, Horace Leith leaned upon the
car window sill gazing out upon the
New England landscape. There was
nothing particularly attractive in the
prospect, but it was many years since
he had taken this route which led TO
his old village home Of Chelsea, and
he was epdeavoring to recall certain
features Of the journey which had
once been familiar. 1t was far cry
from those old days to the present,
when he had gained recognition as a
successful business man in New York.
Suddenly his musings were inter
rupted by a jerk of the car and the
sharp call of the brakeman for another
station. He turned around and watched
the passengers who were entering and
leaving the car. A slight woman
with baby in her arms, attired in
black, took the seat directly in front
of him and drew his attention for a
moment. The train started again, and
he leaned back in his former position,
Presently the baby climbed back on
the seat, in one hand rubber doll and
the other clutching the plush cushion.
In her efforts to attract Leith's atten-
ton the doll fell to the floor and two
red little lips issued an imperious
command:
Man, get baby's DOLL she lisped,
and Leith, reaching down, obeyed the
mandate. When he returned the doll
the owner smiled raptureusly. She
was very attractive child and Leith
settled himself to watch her and lis
ten to the prattle she poured out in
broken sentences.
CHANGING at the mirror in front of
him, he became aware that he could
obtain full view of the figure of the
baby's mother therein. Her face,
however, was partially hidden by
crepe veil. After awhile she ap-
peared to grow restless and threw
back the veil, disclosing two flushed
cheeks and pair of dark blue eyes
dropping under long lashes. 1t was a

President Taft is fond of children,

ing story on this head comes from
Cincinnati.
Once, when pretty Cincinnati girl
was a child of six or seven, Mr.. Taft,
calling at her house, found nobody
home excepting herself She enter
tanned him a little while, and when he
rose to go he stopped down and kissed
her.
Here's one" he said, "for the baby.
Here is another for little Jim. And
here is third for Billie boy"
The little girl, drawing herself up,
said haughtily-she had been reading
a novel:
'Mr. Taft, you forget yourself!"
He bent down again.

RARITY OF GREAT ACTRESSES
Women Singers the World Has in
Comparative Plenty, But Few
Fine Traaediennes.

Interest in Ristori is revived three
years after her death by the projecE
| to erect memorial to the Italian ac-
tress In Friuli, her birthplace Tho
| memorial is to contain a decorative
tribute from every country in which
she performed, and the recent "Ris4
| tori matinee" in London was to raise
funds for an English contribution.
A great singer dies or retires and
another is found ready to take up her
roles, often disputing her supremacy
while she is still in the full tide of
her fame The great actress leaves
void not so soon filled. Ristori, It is
true, succeeded directly to Rachers
honors, her first appearance in Paris
in 1855 preceding but by three years
the death of the French actress. But
who is there to inherit from Ristori?
The stage has great Phedre In
Bernhard and a great Camille and
Magda in Duse. But who is there to
play Lady Macbeth as Ristori played
it in an representation which, was the
finest since Mrs. Siddons? What young
actress is there whose Juliet or Por-
tia, or whose francesca, done like
Ristoris at IA, gives promise of a
first rank in tragic roles?
Nature is generous of her favors
to woman singers. Each generation
has it's Malibrans and PATHS. Why
is she so chary of endowing women
with the highest stage gifts? A host
of women make the stage their voca-
ton. number exceeding that Of the
men engaged. There are many capa-
BILE actresses whose talents fall just
short of the highest achievement. But
the scarcity of Ristoris and Rachels,
or even of Janauscheks and Modjeskas
is in striking. contrast with the CON-
paratiye frequency of prima donnas Of
equal rank ON the lyric stage.

The use of the concrete block In

It is true that in many cases the

blocks when properly made by men
who know their business are not sur

either for economy, health or artistic
qualities. These blocks are made
with many different faces, the most
popular being the rock face. Cement
is used to initiate rock. The friends of
cement construction as a rule are OPP
posed to limitations. They say con-

should stand by itself.
When blocks are made with crushed
stone or gravel Of graduated sizes,
clean sharp sand and an honest
amount of good cement with plenty of
