George III. and the Wianakers.

When George, III. assembled the
hrone of England his wealthy sub
ects were beginning to leave off wigs
nd to appear in their own hair, ri
hey had any" AS the sovereign was
himself one of the offenders, the per-
Ike makers, who feared a serious loss
# trade, prepared a petition in which
hey prayed his majesty to be gra-
iously pleased to shave his head" for
ne good of distressed workmen and
year a wig, as his father had done be-
bre him.
When the petitioners walked to the
oval palace, however. it was noticed
hat they wore no wigs themselves.
Is this seemed unfair to the OnlOok-
RS they seized several of the leading
)rocessionists and cut their hair with
my Implement that came most readily
% hand.
From this incident arose a host Of
curious caricatureS. The wooden leg
makers were said to have especial
.laims on the kings considera ton, in
ismuch as the conclusion of peace had
deprived them of profitable source
# employment; hence the suggestion
hat his majesty should d only wear
wooden leg himself, but enjoin the
people to follow his laudable example.

'The man who can pick out the best
picture of himself is a rare bird" said
photographer. Even an author, who
is reputedly a poor judge of his own
work, exercises vast wisdom in select
ing his best book compared with the
person who tries to choose his best
photograph. Every famous man or
woman who has been photographed
repeatedly has his or her favorite pic
ture. Usually it is the worst in the
collection. 1t shows him or her with
an unnatural expression, sitting or
standing in an unnatural attitude.
The inability to judge of his best pic
ture must be due to the average mans
ignorance of how he really looks. or
perhaps it can be partly attributed to
a desire to look other than he does. A
stout man will swear that the photo

Gave Referee Opportunity to
Make a Decision.
And Ashland Team was There
by Enabled to Make a
Touchdown.

o to 0 should have been the
score in the game which was
played on the grounds in this
city last Sunday afternoon be-
tween the Ashland City team and
the Washburn City team. but as
it was it stood 6 to O in favor of
Ashland. The touchdown which
gave the Ashland team the score
was made possible by a decision
of the referee, who was an Ash
land man. This was brought
about when the Ashland team
was close to the Washburn goal.
The strudy players from this
side of the bay held their oppon-
ents for three downs, and were
thereby entitled to the ball,
which would have given them a
chance to get the ball back into
the center of the field. But the
crowd became so enthusiastic
that they were not content with
staying back of the lines but had
to crowd upon the field. This
gave the Ashland referee the de.
sired opportunity and he was
not slow to take advantage of it.
He claimed that the crowd had
interferred with the play (but of
course they had not) and gave
the Ashland team another trial
to make their downs, which re-
suited In the touchdown.
The game was about as good a
one as has ever been played in
the city and every inch of the
ground was fought for hard.
The Ashland team was consider.
ably heavier but the Washburn
players kept them guessing
when ever they attempted to
carry out a play, and the honors
were about evenly divided. In
two years of playing this is the
first time that the Washburn
team has ever been defeated, and
the boys now say that it will be
the last.

Iron Mining Outlook.

In spite of the fact that financial
matters are still somewhat string
ent in the East, the iron mining in
dustry is recuperating from the
blow it received during the panic
of last year. In several Southern
Missouri counties, where the min
ing of iron ore has become quite a
factor in the wealth of the country,
operations have resumed and con-
siderable ore is being taken out.
This is true in Howell and Wayne
counties, and in several other iron
producing counties. When j. T.
Long of Kansas City sold the ma
iority interest in the Williamsville,
Greenville & st. Louis Railroad,
along which are located extensive
iron mines, a company was formed
to market the ore and the forma-
ton of a new short route to n of
the plants of the steel corporation
was undertaken. The route pro-
posed, would require less than 200
miles of new construction and
would practically be a completion
of the plan OF John r. Walsh, the
Chicago banker, who first project-
ed the Southern Indiana, Illinois
Southern and Missouri Southern
Railroads. Owners of iron lands
in Southeast Missouri who know
the extent and grade Of the iron to
be found see in the proposed new
railroad the plans of either the
steel corporation or of individuals
who have some assurance of sales
of a large tonnage of iron ore to
the steel corporation. 1t is gener-
ally known that the field, while diff
fering largely in character to the
Minnesota field, is greater in area
and averages as high in grade
But aside from whatever interest
the steel corporation has taken, Of
may take, in the future, in the Mis-
souri, iron field, the owners Of de-
veloped property there have made
some large contracts with furnaces
OF smelters in Ohio and at South
Chicago which provide for the
shipment ofabout 100 cars per day.
Also the st. Louis Blast Furnace
il now and will continue to take
steadily Is to 20 cars per day from

THE resolution introduced in the
U. S. Senate at the instigation of
Congressman Murphy, asking the
appointment of a committee of in
quiry into the official conduct of
Federal Judges Phillips and Nc
Pherson, makes mighty interesting
reading. 1t charges them with tyr
amy and other things. But, re-
CARELESS of the facts, Iassume that
nothing will come of it. Tom JEFF
ferson said that life -appointment
of Judges was wrong; that it tend
ed to make them arbitrary and
immune, and that the menace Of
impeachment and removal fol
wrong-doing vas only the shadow
of a deterrent. The old "mobo-
crat" rarely erred. and his hear
was always with the common peo-
pie.

BREWERS CONVENE.
They Declare the Prohibition Wave
Has Reached Its Height.

Atlantic City, n. j., June 2.-De-
claring that the professional advo-
Gates of the anti-saloon league have
overshot the mark and that their
statements are grossly exaggerated
where they are not purposely mis-
leading" the board of trustees of the
United States Brewers association,
which opened it's forty-ninth annual
convention here today, went on record
with the additional declaration that
the socalled prohibition wave had
reached its height and that reaction
is already beginning to set in. These
statements were contained in the an
nuaI report of the trustees.
THE political character of the ag-
itation in some states" the report
says, has become apparent and there
is disposition on the part of the
more thoughtful and responsible
journals to discuss the drink question
in a sane and conservative manner"
The best conditions, the report says,
are to be found in states where legis-
Iation has been wise and fair, and calls
attention to the Pennsylvania liquor
law as one of the best in the country
Touching on national legislation,
the report stated that it is to be re-
GREETED that at each recurring ses-
sion of congress there is an increase
in members who seek to destroy the
liquor business by federal legislation
The trustees say the beer sales for the
year ending June go, 1908, showed an
increase of s239,798, which they say
is remarkable considering the beer
sales for the previous year were the
largest in the history of the trade.

TOPEKA MAN CHOSEN.
II. c. Stevens Is Grand Treasurer of
Odd Fellows.

The returns of the / o. o. F. cleo
ton of grand officers for the state of
Kansas received at the Office of the
grand secretary, Will ]. Russell, at
noon today are considered to be COM
plete enough to determine the final
ballot. Out of the total of 551 lodges.
356 have turned in their reports.
The larger interest in the election
was centered in the office of grand
warden for which there were six can
dfdates. Charles H. Lilley of Wichita
is elected with 1854 votes already in,
other candidates are John E. Atkin-
Brown, 33S votes; D. D. Colglazier, 49S
votes; John G. Muse. Ais votes; Frank
Ohlhausen, 1888 votes.
For grand treasurer, there were
three candidates who stand: H. c.
Stevens of Topeka. 1887; Walter
Puckey, 656; S. Stanley Learned. 10.
For grand representative. B. M. Pow
ell of Seden, has 1885 votes and John
A Bright, 1882.
c. NJ. Cole, of Phillipsburg, was elect
ed grand master without opposition;
T. P. Roney of Washington, deputy
grand master without opposition and
Will ]. Russell. of Kansas City, was
elected grand secretary in like man
ner.
The election was held on the last
meeting night in May. Those lodges
which balloted earlier In the week are
first to get the reports in and it will
be several days before the full returns
are with the grand secretary. AS only
30 per cent of the votes are required
to elect where there are more than two
candidates there is no longer doubt OF
the new officers.
