SWITCHED THE LUNcHEoNs.

There are many stories told of Mrs. George Keppel, the friend of King Edward, but one of the latest is that she always insists, when on a visit to the country, that her maid shall have the sort of food she con siders good for her. Once all the visiting maids at a country house refused to eat the meal set before them, so the mistress of the man. sion ordered that the guests lunch con go to the servants hall and the servants luncheon be served to the guests. Mrs. Keppel is said to have tackled the cold beef and pickles with particular zest, as she has a much better digestion than her maid.

ROUND TOWERS OF IRELAND.

The round towers of Ireland are certain tall, slender circular towers of stone, found in various parts of that country. They are about 12O in number and vary in height from lG0 to 120 feet. They were built be- tween the ninth and twelfth cen- turies, and were doubtless for re-
 igious purposes, as they seem to have always been in the neigh berhood of churches or mon- asteries. These. round towers also served as places of refuge in times of danger, and, after the in- troduction of bells, were used as bell towers. Three similar towers are also found in Scotland, at Brechin, Albernethy and Eglishay in Orkney.

CHESTERFIELD OF THE SENATE

Senator McLaurin of Mississippi is perhaps the most gallant member of congress. He never lets an op- portunity escape to say nice things about women. They are telling a good joke about him in this con nection.
 rhe senator and Mrs. McLaurin recently called upon some friends. There they met a congressional friend and his wife. The senator took occasion to compliment the woman several times during the eve ming upon her good looks, charming gown, etc. The host brought up the subject of politics and handed the senator newspaper clipping Tn which reference was made to him.
 q will take it home with me, if you don't mind," said the senator. "I neglected to bring my glasses with me, and I am practically blind without them" Baltimore News.

ENGLAND NEEDS MORE FARMS
Alarm Over Decrease of Land Under Cultivation-Recommendations
 of a Commission.

England is worried at present over not only decrease in its farm population, but shrinkage in the number of acres under cultivation. It has 1,5OO,OOO acres less under cultivation now than ten years ago. A commission which investigated the subject ascribes this situation to the impossibility of ownership by the tenant leading to slack methods which render farming unproftable, and recommend giving the tenant a chance to purchase, or at least the benefit of enhanced value due to better care and more scientific till age.
 Land in England has become too valuable to return a profit by farm- ing methods prevailing in the United States, and the commission plans to rejuvenate English agricul- ture by multiplicity of small farms well titled and soil properly nurtured. England must always de- pend upon outside sources for a large portion of its food supply, but it could be made to produce everything needed except grains and meat, and the amount of these pro- duced at home could be greatly in- creased if all the arabic land were under blow. ..

WAS MASTER OF PROFANITY.
Senator eeveridse Admits That at One Time He Had Hard Work
 to Break Bad Habit.

An interesting story told by the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star recalls the fact that Senator Albert J. Rev. eridge of Indiana once lived in Kan sas. After the future senator had finished school he went north and worked in logging camp, and then decided to come to the Sunfiower state. He was persuaded to stop at Dighton, and there entered the real estate business. One day there was trouble at Dighton and a necktie party was being arranged for a cer- tain offender. Beveridge mounted a dry goods box and talked the lynch CTS out of the idea, literally saving the intended victims life.
 The Times-Star story gives Bev- eridge's version:
 What was your hardest struggle in life, senator?' Mir. Beveridge was asked one day.
 ''To quit cussing," said he; "l learned how to swear hard enough to impress the loggers, and 1t was years before 1 could break myself of the habit. But it helped save my life one time. was in lit tie COW town in western Kansas when mob undertook to lynch d drunken man for stealing a mule. l believed him innocent, and l man. aged to outclass that crowd. And then the man who preferred the charge came after me and l cussed him out so that he put his gun back in his holster and went away"

TELEGRAPHER's SILLY JOKE.

A stupid telegrahpist in Glasgow, Scotland, created a sensation in a score of towns round that city on a recent Sunday. He has to signal Greenwich time to number of post offices, and in doing so he added :: ''The king is dead" The message spread rapidly, and in many of the towns flags were lowered to half mast, solemn references to the event were made from pulpits, and in one church the "Dead March was play ed. The story filtered back to Glas- gov, where in the clubs it was the one topic of conversation. In one of the churches the minister spoke gravely of ''the country's loss." and gave out the hymn, ''Now the La- borer's Task Is Ger" which the congregation joined in singing.

 To have the pains and aches of bad back removed; to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell how this great change can be brought about will prove com forting words to hundreds of Con- way readers.
 Mrs. Joseph Cross, Church St., Morrilton. Ark, says; "I am sure that no one has ever endured more misery from kidney com- plaint than I. My back was so weak and painful that for weeks l could not straighten. I often had dizzy spells and at such times had to catch hold of something to keep from falling. My feet and ankles swelled to nearly twice their nat ural size, and 1 was also bothered by frequent desire to pass the kidney secrelious. I was treated by six physicians but none of them seemed to understand my case. 1 felt myself sinking lower and low CT every day and became alarmed. I had about given up hope of ever being cured when friend advised me to try Deans Kidney Pills. I did so and the results of their use were far beyond my expectations. My health improved rapidly and today have no system of kidney complaint whatever.

Vassar was the first college to adopt require ments for entrance similar to mems colleges, but Wesleyan college, in Ohio; Mary Sharp college at Win chester, Tenn, and Elmira, in New York, all preceded it.

Solitude and Society.

At the opposite poles of our inner
being are two imperative needs. One
is for solitude, the other for society.
Women never reach their best devel-
opment If they live in loneliness or
if they spend their whole lives in the
social whirl, writes Margaret E. Sang
ster in WOman's Home Companion.
For our souls growth in goodness we
require time in which to be alone.
To the busy mother with her little
ones around her, to the woman who
prepares three meals a day, to a third
who is driven by social engagements,
it seems idle to insist that she shall
have an hour or two by herself be-
tween sunrise and sunset. Without
this little space of quiet, let it be ever
so hard to attain, let me tell my sister
that she will cease to thrive mentally
and spiritually. She must think
enough about herself to claim this
privilege and hold 1t fast; but no one
should shut herself up and live apart
from her neighbors unless neighbors
are SO remote that to reach them
she must drive miles across country.
In this cas- the best plan is to find
society in books and to cultivate in
the family a habit of playing games
and uniting in evening amusements.

JOLT FOR COLLEGE SUMMERS
sociology Students Aroused the Ire Of
eoWery "Boozine."

The class In sociology at Williams
college, which occasionally makes a
visit to New York's slums. is at least
gaining material upon which each of
them should make a reputation as a
~raconteur, If they don't learn how the
other half lives. The other day they
visited Magistrate Firms court and
were seated in a long row behind the
bench. A picked lady from the Bow
cry gazed at them with outspoken alb
horrence. DIRTY little sussiety
judges" said she. "Oughter be
'shamed Of 'emselves-comin' down
here embarrass hard-workin' lady. If
l could get at 'em, I'd learn EN-. I'll
get at EN- anyhow"
The court officer restored her to her
place in line. dragging her violently
back just as she had half way mounted
the rail separating her from the sus-
siety judes." The sociologists flushed
crimson. She still watched them
angrily. The crowded courtroom, with
eve a smile in it's hundreds, stared
at the college boys DULY. Now and
then n spectator would point out
something unique about the sociolo-
gists to his neighbor, and the pair
would mnutter together. Finn and his
victims were forgotten in the interest
aroused by the sociologists. The
soused person was pushed along in
front of the magistrate. She turned
her back on the court to watch the
sociologists. Failing to gain her at
tention, Magistrate Finn said: Ten
days"
Sure, Dan, DEAR" she half whis-
pered to Mr.. Finn, turn me loose wild
them Nancies for jusht a minnut and
make it twinty days"

the last few years the question of
pockets has come to be an important
matter in women's garments. Wom-

various small articles, but they can
even like them SO placed in their coats

A Camera In the o,~.:-ch,

Perhaps the most remarkable Of the
recent inventions in the medical line
is an apparatus by means of which
the stomach may be photographed
from within. 1t is the discovery of a
Munich doctor, and is thus described
in action: THE camera is actually
swallowed by the patient, and when
it reaches it's destination the interior
of the stomach is illuminated by a
small electric lamp attached to the ap-
paratus. At the bottom of the cam
era is wound on a Photographic film 20
inches long and a quarter of an inch
wide. The physician pulls a cord
which runs the film past the lens. the
electric lamp is turned on, and the
impressions made on the Sensitive
film. The procedure Il repeated until

RELIGION In Business.

The difficulty of living as a Christian
should was expressed last week by
a young st~enographer employed in a
large Cleveland business house.
"You can't live as Christ did and
be an employee of q large firm" the
young woman said.
Sunday she attended the mass
meeting Of young Christians at Ep-
worth Memorial church. She was one
OF the $500 who stood up, promising
to live for the next two weeks as
Christ would. Two days of the ex-
pertinent convinced her of its impos-
sibility in Cleveland business life.
1T can't be done by an employe,"
she said. "The employer himself
might carry the morality of Christ
into his business If he chose. But the
emplOye-at least, in my cascades
not, and it il suicidal for the employe
to attempt it. Christ's morality and
business tact clash. An employee in
sisting upon rigid honesty would be
discharged instantly.
Il don't mea to say my firm is dis
honest. Along broad lines 1t isn't. But
the managers resort to many evasions
of the truth in order to escape un.
pleasant consequences"

Character Written on the Face,

Faces are records on which appear
the result Of every selfish, malicious
thought and every wicked desire. The
woman who les into fits of temper
soon looks like an orge or a dragon.
The man who dissipates and drinks
soon acquires the loafer's countenance.
Moreover, 1t is our good, true thoughts
that make for u happiness, a. we'll
as our appearance. All the mental and
physical systems are practically con-
trolled by these little guests of our
brains. Lie awake all night and worry
and behold your next morning face.
1t will scare you to death. You can
change your embittered moods by ex-
srcise out Of doors, by going to church,
reading wholesomely stimulating
books, by associating more with chill
dren and by doing good, kindly acts
for those who are about you.

SAVED HER JEWELS
AUNT MATS SCREAMS TERRIFIED
BURGLAR.

Safe in the Vaults of the
Bank.

You heard Aunt Mats bur

was a real burglar, you know. This
is how it was: You know, Aunt Mat
has more diamonds than anybody in
her town. You've seen them. Regular
robins eggs. Well, that night Philip
was away, and she and little Matte
were all alone in the big house. Mat
tie was asleep in the big front room
that is on the front porch, and Aunt
Mat had the folding bed in the dining
room made up and was sleeping on
that, with her diamonds in a little
chamois bag under her head.
Long after midnight Aunt Mat was
awakened by a creepy sound, like the
branches Of a tree sweeping back and
forth against the window, in the big
room where Matte was sleeping.
There was a tiny night lamp in that
room, in a far corner
She lay there perfectly p~aralyzed
by this sound, feeling that something
foreign was near. You can understand
that feeling. That something terrible
was about to happen. She couldn't
move, she said, listening to that awful
sound Pretty soon she began to re-
alize what it was. The opening Of the
window in the big room. 1t kept on
and on, and then the sound stopped,
and she lay on her bed with her eyes
on the door of the big room, waiting.
1t wasn't long before she saw the
shadow Of something coming into the
doorway.
The shadow came across the
threshold first, then there began to
creep across it into the dining-room on
all fours-a great black negro.
well, Aunt Mat said she thought
she would die of fright. She lay
perfectly still, hardly breathing as
this thing on all tours came creeping
across the room to her bed, where he
knew her diamonds were under her
pillow. He came nearer and nearer,
she lying there staring at him, unable
to move from fright. He came neal
er and nearer, and then, just as he
was preparing to spring at her, she sat
straight up in bed, she says, and
"She yelled: Philip! Philip Then
she fell to screaming, screaming,
screaming! She says Philip must
have heard her, wherever he was, she
screamed so loud.
Then what? Why, the negro was
more terrified than Aunt Mat. He
looked at her for a moment and then
he made for the window. Out of that
he went head first.
He was one of a band of negro rob-
bers abroad that night. All of them
caught within a few days. Eight
houses had been broken into during
the night. In the morning on the five
gates Of the finest houses in the town
there were arrows drawn in charcoal,
which were to be broken into.
you can bet your life Aunt Mat
straight to the bank the next
morning and put her diamonds there.
No more sleeping in diamonds for her
after that"
