TINE TABLES,

The value of this essential to the
travelling public is little appreciated
in our large cities where they can all
ways be easily obtained, if pre-
pairing for journey, and the time OF
arrival and departure of trains is
generally known. In the country.
however, where the railroads are not
daily used the information required
should be at hand when wanted, for
the farmer cannot be expected to
drive to town the day before he goes
away to find out the hour his train
leaves.
Years ago the railroads recognized
this requirement of the rural popula-
ton, which patronized their roads, and
published their time tables i'm the
local papers. 1t was a great benefit
and help to everyone, and saved farm
er5 and business men many hours.
Of recent years they stopped this prac-
tiCe, and the consequence has been
annoyance and lost time to the people
living In the country who only oc-
casionally use the trains. Why they
should have stopped doing a thing
Of such benefit and accommodate to
the public we cannot perceive or I'M
derstand. We heard that it il be-
cause they previously paid for the ad-
vertisement by passes. But this sure

He left his loved ones behind.
His dear children and his wife,
Who he 30 willingly toiled for
And loved better than his life
Our hearts have been crushed and wounded.
Our lives been made lonely and sad,
Which only the presence of his dear face
Could ever again make glad.
He was q tender and loving father.

A brother and friend who never would shrink

In sad but loving remembrance of my dear
niece Lottie Lee Miner. who departed this life
one year ago, March Il. 1909.
One year ago in heaven there was
A vacant place to fill.
And Jesus to our loved one said,
Cease beating heart be still.
How sadly counted the hours,
That measured this sorrowful year;
Since we laid, meath mantle of flowers,
Dear Lottie, whom we loved SO dear.
In the home OF fadeless beauty,
She is now a shining star;
Dwelling in the Holy city,
With the gates OF gold ajar.
We knelt beside you Lottie dear,
Hung over your sides death bed /;
And gazed upon your loving face,
Until your spirit fled

I'm sad but loving remembrance OF my dear hns-
band. Augustus w. Davis who departed this life
five months ago.
Dear husband. could you speak to me.
And could you live again,
My aching heart would then be healed,
But then and only then.
NV heart is sad and lonely.
My grief to deep to tell;
But time will come when we will meet
And all To you I'll tell
Rest on dear husband. thy labors Ger
Thy willing hands will toll no more;
A faithful husband both true and kind.
"A truer husband you could not find.
No words will ever be so sweet.
As the words he used to say;
No hour will ever be so sad,
As the hour he passed away.

1t is akin ~ the ancient earth forces

all light flows, and with tears and
blood they will seek it, unresting and

THE ERA OF HIGH PRIuEs.

cit is a good sign that nobody
seems prepared instantaneousIy to an
nounce the cause of high prices says
Success Magazine for March. 1--WE
have had too much quack doctoring
! OF economic ills, and it is well that all
the authorities are this time withhold
ing judgment.
There has been allegation that
folks have been hurrying to town to
live until the farms don't realize
enough to feed US all. The answer
comes promptly, however, that of
most primary agricultural products
we are raising more per capita than
ever before. We must look further.
Combinations, big and little-of man
ufacturers, of transportation, and of
merchants-are charged with large
responsibility. The universally of
the complaint points the need of find
ing a universal cause; and more and
more serious attention has been given
by economists to the increasing sup
ply of primary money metal-gold-
as the universal cause. Without
doubt, the increasing output of gold
is an important factor, but there is
an underlying cause in the changing
conditions of living. We may call it
extravaganza, but it is not merely
that. 1t is the effort of the people to
appropriate their share of the advan-
tages, the comforts, the luxuries, if
you will, which modern conditions of
industry, invention and science have
made possible.
AT one side we see the powerful
few, with multifold devices of organ
ization, overcapitalization, patent
protected monopoly, subsidies, tariffs,
privileges of all sorts, seeking to con-
troll production. On the other side
are the millions, insistently reaching
out for means to supply new needs. to
indulge new am billions, to crafty new
tastes. The captain of finance ex-
ploits his industry by the process of
overcapitalizing it in order to squeeze
exploit it by enforcing demands for
higher wages. The joint burden is
laid on the consumer.
THE present phenomenon in econ
omies finds its parallel in the earth
quake. Pressure forces readjustments
in the earth's crust from time to time
The pressure exists all the time; it is
as steady as gravitation; there are
regions of weakness in the crust, and
when the pressure has been borne as
long as possible there is suddenly a
slip and a readjustment of position
along the line of geological fault,
This slipping and readjustment come
| suddenly with terrific force. Very
similar is the present readjustment of
price conditions to the long-accumu-
| lating pressure of economic and social
| conditions. The pressure has been
| there right along; the slip and the
earthquake have come suddenly

roPEKA SHOULD BLOOM.

Spring may not be here according to
the idea of the man who arranged the
| calendar. But the warm sunshine of
the past few days and the sweet and
balrny Dreezes. which would be quite
good enough TO eat if there was only
o little more substance to them, lead
one to think so. Anyhow, they make
it plain that spring and summer are
not so very far Off And this suggests
the idea that the DAYS are even now
not SO very distant when the time will
be at hand for the making of gardens
OF all kinds.
Topeka, the beautiful. can be made
much more so during the coming
months if all OF it's householders, or a
great majority of them take advantage
of the opportunities that they are favor
ed with. A general planting of flowers
around the houses, in the front and
back gardens. even in the psrkings. is
all that will be required to transform
the town into a veritable bower of
loneliness
Nor will the expense or the labor re-
quired be great to do these things.
Flower seeds and the more common
variety of bulbs are about the cheapest
things that can be found on the mar
Net. 1t QOeSn take so many of them,

nation in the appearance OF the aver
age house. There are plenty of species
of vines which almost grow over night
that, with proper stringing, will make
a bare and rather bleak looking porch
mcst attractive. Then there are the
cannas with their large leaves and
snowy flowers which can be planted
alongside the houses or in their place
the dahlias with their fine foliage and
conspicuous blooms. Along the fences
are fine places for holIyhocks. OF
course there arc many other varieties
OF plants that will fill in just as accept
ably in such places. and there is no end
to the different kinds of smaller plants
that will make flower beds worth more
than passing glance.
1t is surprising. too. how little care
and labor such flowers need to get ex-
cellent results With them. And those
results are more than worth the efforts
It takes to get them. Few cities in the
country have the chance that Topeka
has to be transformed into one huge
flower garden, that would leave an i'm
preston on visitors which would never
be forgotten. And the people of the
town should not fail to make il one

note. writes concerning the English
sparrow as a table delicacy as follows:
There is a scientific article going the
rounds of the papers that is partly a
joke. People think it is a joke, but it
isn't. 1t is about eating En- Glish spar
rows; that is. there is nothing smaller
or more plentiful in the way of birds
that is better. The writer of this got
his first idea of eating English spar
rows in the French market of New
Orleans. There. seated in one of the
thousands of stalls. was an old auntie
busy as a bee and apparently happy as
a lark with q bushel basket filled with
the sparrows while she patiently
picked off the feathers and laid the
dressed birds UP in piles of half dozens
and dozens. She said the market was
good. that she sold all she could dress,
and that many people who had money
with which to buy anything they want
ed frequently patronized her English
sparrow stall. A trial showed that the
birds were most excellent eating and
that a pot pie of them was equal to
any bird pie, save that If one is in a
hurry he must not be particular about
the bones. 1t is to be feared, however,
that they will not become a popular
game bird for the market on account
of the inclination of the American peo-
pie to be in a hurry, and it takes about
as long to get the feathers off a
sparrow as off a chicken
