"a demagogue of imposing shape,
he is never troubled by scruples or
doubts. He grasps a situation instan-

with a courage never before seen in
the new world, the air of a victorious
imperator.
Estimated from a distance, no
considerable result Of his fifty years
of life appears. He has not cleansed
the Augean stables of the union. Hhe
has not cut off a single head of a cor
poration hydra. BY terrifying the
capitalists he has thrown his country
into a crisis the results of which are
still being felt"

WAR SECRETARY
To TOUR WORLD

WASHINGTON, June 16.-It was
learned today that when Secretary
Dickinson left Washington tonight he
was off for a tour Of the world The
objective point will be the Philippine
islands where he will spend five weeks
familiarizing himself with conditions.
On the steamer Siberia, on which he
will sail from San Francisco for the
Philippines via Honolulu and Japan, he
will be accompanied by Mrs. Dicl1iu-
son, his son, j. M. Dickinson Jr., Gen.
eral Clarence r. Edwards, Mrs. Ed
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES x
William Flagner, interceding for II
year old William Meyers, confined as
a leper, said he had visited the hos
pital and all the inmates united in the
wish to have Doctor Atcherley back.
Former Health officer Herbert Gum
counseled the board that it would be
against medical procedure to allow
Atcherley to treat the lepers by medi.
cines and formulas unknown to the
profession.
Eaton said it was not a question of
professional ethics, but of the boards
responsibility for the lives and health
of the lepers under its charge.
Miss Frye, who for the last IL years
has visited and cared for the colony,
asked Doctor Eaton why the lepers
should not be permitted to have the
chance of Doctor Atcherley's treat
ment when they wish it, and when
you admit you are helpless to aid them
and they are helpless of healing"
DR.. Frank Tillman said he saw no
reason why Doctor Atcherley should
not be permitted to try the expert
ment of giving the lepers his treat
ment. Nothing has been done for
these unfortunates in the IL years
past, and surely if they die under the
treatment they will be none the worse
off"

A Miniature Boomerano.

The boomerang used by the native
Australians in war and in the chase
is a curved wooden missile The skill
with which the boomerang is made
and thrown is great. The thin, slight
ly bent piece of wood, rarely more
than two feet in length, may be made
to fly in a complex curve SO that it
will strike the ground behind the
thrower
Let us make a small model of this
boomerang. Cut it of stiff cardboard,
taking care that one side is a trifie
heavier than the other. Then insert
the little boomerang under the nail of
the index finger of the left hand, and
snap it sharply with the thumb and
index finger of the right hand The
missile will fly upward with quick
revolutions, only to pause finally and
return to the starting point
1t takes much practice to learn to
fly this little boomerang correctly, and
the first trials will certainly be un-
successful

MEDLEY GAME is ENLlvENING
Necessary That Every One shouIS
Have His Wits About Him and
Speak Carbohydrates Given

Choose some one with a good bush
ness head for the auditor in this game.
and give him pencil and paper on
which to write in a vertical column
the names of all the players.
When the paper is ready the auditor
must indicate some one to open the
game. The one indicated must begin
to repeat some verse or sentence. Sup
pose she begins to repeat, Mary had
little lamb as soon as she comes
to a word which suggests another
verse or sentence to any one of the
players, that one must interrupt and
go on with another verse. For ex-
ample, suppose the first player said
| Mary had a little" then some one
picked her up by saying, little star,
how 1 wonder what you are and i'm
mediately another player says, You
are a goose another tacks him up
with 'Goosey, Goosey Gander, where
=" another says, where is my wan
dering boy" and still another says,
boy blue come blow" another,
blow, bugles, blow, set the wild
echoes flying" and so on till no one
can think of anything to say, and the.
last player finishes up verse or COM
pletes sentence. Each one who COM
pletes a sentence or verse is credited
one point by the auditor, and must
start a new verse. Any one may in
terrupt with new verse as soon as it
occurs to him. but when two start at
nearly the same time the auditor
must decide who has the right of way,
and the auditor must never be dis
puted When no one can think of
new verse to start off with the game
is ended, and the one who has the
most points receives a prize, while the
one who has the fewest points re-
ceives the BOBBY prize. Every one
must have his wits about him in this
game, and think and speak quickly. 1t
is still more funny if all the players
are singers and can sing the medley
instead of repeating it. In this case
the players might choose sides. each
side having a leader and one side in
terrupt the other That is. suppose
the leader on one side starts singing,
| Mary had a little" then some one on
the other side sings, little star" the
rest on her side joining in, then the
alternate side interrupts again. Try
this some evening when you want to
be livened up.

white china silk throughout.
- The strip of gold net is then sewed
around the lower part of the bag. This
should be about half the depth, or
wider if desired. The top may be
scalloped, but in an irregular waving
line, or cut into square tabs. The net
is then darned in with different col

cottons to give a solid darned surface.
This stitchery may be straight around

tire surface Care must be taken that
the order of colors is observed in
starting new groups of darning.

JUST LIKE ANY OTHER GIRL
Queen WIIhelmina of Holland Was
Once Refused Admission to Her
Mothers Presence.

The lady who is now the queen Of
Holland became a queen when. she
was quite a little girl rather be-
heve this must have made her think
a lot of herself, for sometimes she
even thought she could disobey her
mother.
One day the little queen wished to
speak to her mother. so she went up
to the door of the room in which her
mother was talking to some friends,
and there she knocked very loudly.
Who's there?" asked mother.
1T is the queen of Holland!" re-
piled the little girl, in very stately
tones
Then called the mother. she
must not come in
On hearing this the little queen al
tered her voice. and in a very gentle
tone said: Mamma, it's your own
little daughter that loves you. and
would like to kiss you!"
Whereupon mother. who just like
other little girls mothers, though her
daughter was a real queen. called out:
You may come in, then
You see. even a little queen has to
obey her mother, for mother always
knows what is best for her daughter.

Cure for Gum Habit.

Her pupils being unmindful of all
injunctions barring the use of chewing
gum during school books, the instruc.
tress determined to make horrible
example of couple of the most wilful
boys. She accordingly announced that
she would decorate the school room
a little and thereupon stationed the
boys on one corner of the platform
where they would be conspicuous.
Then she gave each lad a roll OF
clean white paper and told them to
chew it.
The boys, with their cheeks bullying
out with paper pulp, were compelled
to chew steadily for Is minutes.

NE OF the most charming fashions

0NE OF the most charming fashions
Of the season is the wearing of a
nun and stole set in the evening
and at afternoon receptions and
musicales. The sets made entirely Of
fur are beautiful, but the pelts that
are appropriate for these occasions are
so costly that they are miles beyond
the average income
Quite as smart as the fur sets, how
ever, are those made Of lace and
chiffon, with perhaps a bit of fur and
clusters of flowers. These frilly af-
fairs are one of the picturesque and
novel features of the season. One Of
the chief advantages is that they
may be made at home, and many
little bits of trimmings or fabrics
taken from the piece bag or from an
old garment may be used in their
makeup.
Especially useful are the old-fash-
Toned fur sets which are only slightly
worn. They may be cut into strips

CARE IN HAIR ARRANGEMENT
With the Present styles This Is Most
EssentiaI-ShouId be Tied
Firmly.

In this day of false hair it is well to
have it well reefed to the head or I'M
pleasant exposure may follow. This
is best managed by tying the hair
firmly before attempting to arrange it.
Any woman who has attempted this
tying with ordinary string will well
come some of the novelties now to be
bought for this purpose. One con-
vsnient arrangement is piece of
wrapped wire about four inches long.
One end is pointed and the other
farms q loop, through which the point
is pushed when the hair has been
wrapped several times.
Even more easily managed Is q loop
Of silk braid or elastic about two
inches long There Is small button
at one end over which the elastic ID

around the hair
For light hair these fasteners can
be bought in browns and tans 80 that

New BOWS.

The newest spot for bow is at the
front of the bodice, just below the
yoke. This is of a different color
from the frocks, and is usually made
of liberty satin. 1t is not full and
loose, but long and trim. The. loops
and ends are the full width of the rib
bon and are laid out in fiat lines.
These touch up not only dress cos
tunes for theater, restaurants and in
formal dinners, but they are worn on
simple house frocks. The more vivid
colors are used to give brilliancy to
simple gowns. such as white. gray or
black.
Among the colors are apple green,
plum, purple, parrot green, turquoise.

Increase of 2,171.

There was an increase Of 2,171 in
the school population of the state last
year. The total shcool population of
Kansas now is 510,215 and every year
adds from one to two thousand to it.
This means a much greater increase
in the general population of the state.
1t means that families are moving in
with school children. 1t means an in
crease in the birth rate the last few
years However, in many counties of
the state there was a heavy decrease
in the number of people of school age.

School Fund Distributed.

[
The semi-annual distribution of the
school fund was made by State SUI
perintendent E. T. Fairchild, and it
is higher than ever before in the his
tory of the state. There is in the dis
tribution 49 cents for every child Of
school age in the state. Forty-six
cents is the highest the per capita has
ever been before and that was in 1908.
In 1900 the per capita was As cents,
and in 1907 it was SO cents. The am
bition of the school fund commission
er has been to make it an even half
dollar and it is likely that it will go
to that point at the next distribution
in August.
The total amount of money distrib-
&ted is S250,005.35. This is made up
of interest on the permanent school
fund, which is invested in bonds, rent
on school lands and annual fees or
taxes on the insurance companies do
ing business. The fund is eight and
one-half million dollars. When all of
the school land in the state has been
sold the permanent school fund is eX-
pected to reach eleven million dollars.
After that there will be no way in
which to increase it. The total school
population of the state, according to
the reports made by the county super
intendents upon which the distribu-
ton is based, is $1O,215. For each one
of these children 40 cents was dis
tributed by the state superintendent.
