EVENING CHAT
'heer UP. It may not be true.
ny RUTH CAMERON

Cheer up. 1t may not be true.
For this Chit-Chat is by way. of
bringing a little cheer to anyone who
feels that he has not been doing as
good work as usual the last few days.
You see, I'm putting the moral at
the beginning and keeping the tale
for the end-which isn't such a bad
place for q tale when you come to
think of it.
A newspaper. man came to me yes
terday in state midway between puz-
element and delight.
''Say, Miss Cameron" he exploded,
"the managing editor called me into
his office this afternoon and 1 thought
/ was going to be fired for fair.
81 knew I had been doing beastly
worry lately. Fell down on one or
two stories and didn't do that murder
what was the matter with me, but
seemed to be off form somehow. /
thought I'd get called down at least
and probably be given the blue tick
ct right on the spot.
"And what do you think, Miss Cam
eron? The managing editor told me
that I'd been doing mighty good
work and raised my pay. Say it was
all I could do to keep from telling
him he was making a mistake
All of which goes to show of course,
that you can't always tell.
In other words, we do not always
know by any means when we are do
ing our best work.
A friend of mine who is a salesman
wrote to me the other day.
Sometimes I find my best efforts
in business way are unappreciated,
while at other times seem to get
credit without deserving it,
That certainly is true, as most of
US can testify from one experience or
another, and while we ought not to
| feel elated by praise that seems unde-
| served to US, we can cheer ourselves
UP by, remembering that there may be
some grain OF truth beyond what we
realize in what our eulogizers say.
| Authors are seldom good judges OF
their own work. Wordsworth, for in
stance, was very fond of some poems
which posterity has declared to be
close to. ridiculous and did not appre-
ciate some poems that are considered
/ his masterpieces.
| Ones ideal should be to satisfy
ones self. Of course, but it is a good
thing to remember when you are down

apart, and underneath the pipes there
are desks with drawers containing
culinary utensils, all shining and in
order. Each girl has one burner to
use and every third burner is pro-
vided with an oven. The pantry at
one end of the room is equipped with
all needful things to. make glad the
heart of the housekeeper. The girls
learn recipes and follow them with I'M
qualified success. The classes are large
and the girls evince such aptitude as
should be expected in that branch Of
education, and in interest it stands
next to the conjugation of the verb
love. The time will come. you see,
when servants will take orders from
the mistress of the house, instead of
the other way around, as the case now
is too often.

PIrTsBURG GETS A CATCHER.
Edward Bridges of Paterson Signed by
Dreyfuss.

Pittsburg. Jan. 2O.--A new catcher
has been signed by the Pittsburg ball
club. The contract signed by Edward
Bridges of Paterson. N. J., was receiv-
ed by Barney Drevfuss last night
Bridges is the backstop who was pur-
chased from the Northampton team in
the Connecticut League last August.
When he opened the letter containing
the contract. Dreyfuss remarked that
If Bridges was as good a find as the
last player he got from Paterson, the
Pittsburg team was in luck. He re-
ferred to Wagner, who was pla ying
with the Paterson team in 1897 when
Dreyfuss secured him for the Louis
villes before he was brought to Pitts
burg.

Was Fond Of Study.
Probability of Securing U. p.

WAS GOOD AT TRADE.

The speaking Of Henry Allen, edi-
tor of the Wichita Beacon. at the
commission government meeting at
the auditorium last night recalls the
fact that he was a barber on the
North side about 1887. At that time
he worked for Joe Warnock, in a
small building about S27 Kansas ave-
nue..
In this way he made part of his ex-
penses while attending Washburn
college. 1t is said that he was as good
q barber then as he is an editor ana
speaker now, and whatever ne dld,
he di1 we'll. His personality is de-
scribed as pleasing. In appearance,
some saw that he looked very much as
he does at present, while others state
that he had the ShakeSpearean lean
and hungry look This may nave
been because he thought too much.
At any rate, according to the stories
told by those who knew him, he was
always studying in his spare time.
He often shaved me-" said Rev j.
Barratt the founder of the North
side Baptist church, who does not be-
lieve in the commission form of gov
eminent land he certainly shaved
us last night.
What are the chances for the I'm
ion Pacific shops now at Argentine
on the North side?
For some reason or other the last
few days this question seems to pre-
sent itself to the North side business
men. That the shops will be re-locat-
ed is the general talk in railroad cir
Giles. While some say that the loca-
ton of the shops place besides Tope-
ka has been decided upon, others
think that il proper steps were taken.
the railroad company might possibly
decide TO move them here
j. D. Hathaway is of the opinion
that this matter should be one of the
first things to be looked after by the
Civic club when it is re-organized.
Since Fred Morns, president of the
Civic club. has said that he would not
have time to stir up interest in the
club, there seems to be disposition
on the part of others to find out the
sentiment of the business men in re-
gard to the reorganization. 1t is
probable that some one may make a
canvass of the citizens to find who
can devote a little extra time to the
proposition and get the thing to go
ing again.
E. F. Stanley, principal of the
Quincy school, gave this winter S
graduating class a chance to aid in the
esta blishing of library in the school
1t has been the custom of each class
when passing from the School TO the
high school, to leave a present OF a
picture for the assembly room. Mr..
Stanley recently said that donation
of books would be just as acceptable.
The work on the completion OF the
Onaga cutoff has been delayed by
the recent stormy weather. The road
bed has been put in such soft shape
by the SHOWS and rains that the run
ming of through trains which was
hoped for by February will have to
be postponed for some time later.

POLICE DOGS USE LIQUOR.
New Scandal Unearthed in Brooklyn
Department. e---...--..

New York, Jan. 2O.-There is a new
scandal in the Brooklyn police de-
partment. 1t has been discovered that
six of the police dogs which were add
ed to the force year ago have be-
come addicted to the use of intoxi-
cants. Three times they have been
found under the influence of liquor
while on duty.
The dogs. it is said, made friends
some time ago with a bartender in the
district which they patrol. He offered
them liquor and they soon acquired
an appetite. for it. Various suggestions
for d1sciplining the canine guardians
OF the peace are under consideration.

pective members should take action.
The new bylaws were adopted as
read, the only change being in regard
to associate memberships.
President CrandalPs class is progress
ing rapidly. The list of subjects to be
studied will include Exposing" and
run through all the essentials of the
work up to Bromide Enlarging."
These classes are held weekly on
Thursday nights. Join now. Mr..
Cavanagh, our popular "dominee," is
seeking the elusive pictorial opportun-
ity in the Kings River valley, and
judging from such exposures as have
already been received from him his
and of great interest.
Mr.. McClung has become so "blase''
with ordinary that he essayed to reach
the skies last week by means of bal
loon, and he was remarkably success
full in getting very clearly defined pic
lures of the city and environments.
They will probably be exhibited at the
club later, and should not be missed.
The prints entered in the architectural
competition are now on the wall, but
the prize winners have not yet been
announced.
The next set of lantern slides will
be shown on the evening of Wednes-
day, July q, and they are very good.
Come and see.

Prints up to 10 or IL inches square
have been made from these midgets.
The same maker has a cheaper edi-
which marvellous results can be Sc
cured; the lenses in both styles are
universal in focus, making every OBJ

Goerz Co. makes a splendid stereo
camera rather larger, using plates or
films 31ax7 inches, one model being ar
ranged to shed its dividing partition to
allow a panoramic picture of the full
inches to be made when desired.
This is equipped with a focal plane
shutter, allowing exposures of as high
a speed as 1-1000th second as well as
ordinary time and bulb exposures. If
the reader has never thought much of
stereoscopic photography let him bor-
row some "stereograms" and a view
ing glass and spend an hour or two
in really studying the beauties OF
these pictures; if he Cor she) is not
convinced they are not worth while
making of ones own familiar haunts
and friends, then they are either OPP
tically deficient or sadly in the minor
ity among discriminating people.
The little additional expense and
labor in making stereograms is COM
pletely swallowed up in the great
pleasure they afford.
