Even as a little boy Eugene Noble
Foss developed a love for maxims. If
he had a particular hobby in the adage
line it was that one which says, IF at
first you don't succeed, etc" And the
advice is as good as it is old, as Mr..

he has wanted to be one of the big

in Boston, and failed, so he shifted his
ideas with his reSidence-he summers

recent victory, and joined forces with
the democrats, employing the new tar

Mr. Foss, as the democratic candi-
date, has just been elected congress
man by 5000 and more in a district
which had over a $4,000 majority re-
publican in the last election.
He was born On a Vermont farm in
1858. AS soon as he had graduated. at
Burlington he went into business. His
most striking characteristic is thar
he is deeper in business than any other
man in Massachusetts. Anyone can
walk up to his desk in his manufac
tory He can do half a dozen things
at once If a proposition does not look
good to him he can say so without of
Tending the proposer. He is an abso-
lutely democratic man in manners,
dress and acknowledging autecratic at

he is the head, being unhampered by
any board of directors He doesn't
know one sport from another he

Sheep on the Average Farm

In his excellent book on Modern
Sheep" Shepherd Boy discusses the
above subject in a manner that really
makes out a good case in favor of the
practice of keeping sheep under aver
age conditions. He says that at the
present time the world is short of
both wool and mutton, consequently
prices are high, which is a good rea-
son why all farmers whose farms are
at all adapted for sheep farming
should keep a few sheep. Prices of
wool fluctuate and times have been
when sheep paid but little in this
country, but such state of affairs is
not likely to occur again in a life
time, since our appetite for mutton
and the demand for wool is growing
much faster than our flocks. The
flock has always held premier posi-
ton in the animal husbandry of many
countries. Especially is this true of
Great Britain, and the time will come
when this will be true of this coun-

WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
In dealing with the "hook worm di-
sease which is so prevalent in some
parts of the south doctors and scien-
judce They have found that people
who are not ashamed to admit that
they had ground itch or that they
are 'anemic' become extremely indig-
nant at the suggestion that they have
the hook worm disease. If they are
told that they have "uncinarieiasis,"
which means the same thing, they may
be enthusiastic to undergo treatment
Doctor C. w, Stiles, of the Pubic
Health and Marine Hospital service,
who has been making an investigation
of this disease in Slorida and North
Carolina, says that as absured as this
situation is it presents serious prac-
teal problem and he suggests the use
the popular name for the disease to be
used with persons who are too proud
or too sensitive to be treated for hook
worm Doctor Stiles found that the
disease was a real danger over SIS per
cent of the school children in three
counties of southern Florida being in
fected.
The village gossips here have de-
livered the verdict. Neighbor Taft is
"gadabout." Not a mild "gadabout,"
who gads little now and then, but a

Suicide Pact
Victims Found

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April FIJI
nancial losses incurred in a partner
ship brokerage business, is believed
to have caused the double suicide of
Nels and c. w. Olsen, brothers, whose
bodies were found on a bank of the
here today.
The deaths, it appears, were DELHI
erately planned. On January %. fol-
lowing a series of reverses of the
board of trade, the brothers left their
apartment house here and have not
been seen alive since. After their de-
parture relatives said the men had an
nounced they had lost all'' and in
tended to kill themselves. Rumors
had it the losses amounted to be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
Two fishermen came upon the bod
les today They appeared to have
been dead several weeks. Clutched
tightly in the hand of one man was d
revolver containing two empty shells.
Authorities say he may have shot his
brother and then turned the gun up
on himself.
Attempts had been made to remove
from their clothing all marks that
would establish their identity. A
post card addressed to Nels Olsen was
found in a coat pocket. The pocket
also contained advertisements from
several money lenders. The Olsens
are said to be retired farmers. They
formerly operated a brokerage office
in Sylvia, Kas. Two sisters and
soninlaw of one of the men reside
there. The brokers registered at the
board of trade here from Lindsberg,
Kas.
Henry Samuelson of Mcpherson,
Kas., who knew the Olsens, called at
the morgue here tonight and identified
the men by their clothing.

We have heard of the sweet dignity
of women, and if we are mortal we
have been charmed by that element in
a persons department; we also must
be aware of the fact that dignity in
women is on the wane. 1t is to be de-
plored that it has gone far below par
in the estimation of many, though its
value is still to be appreciated by an
elect few.
Now l am not preaching against
charming natural spontaneity, and no
one appreciates the joy of fresh and
hearty living more than | do. But |
like women too much to see them low
ering the standards of behavior, there
by affecting the status of our sex. And
nothing is quite so effective in the
destructive work as lack of digni-
~.
Some one has said that dignity rare
~ goes hand in hand with haste. AS
soon as your actions are unduly quick
ened, there is a lack Of judgment and
equipose which are associated with
dignity. Cultivate a habit of allowing
plenty of time to say and do things.
In your conversation acquire a natural
dignity of intonatiOn and choice of
words. This does not mean to be ped
ant and to flaunt long, involved SEN
fences at a tired listener. 1t does mean
that a statement can be made in well
chosen, pure English. AS soon as slang
or idioms are allowed, there is loss
of dignity.
Your correspondence, too, should re-
ceive careful consideration. Never al
