Words Of Wisdom.

1t sometimes pays to meander from
the beaten path.
Opportunity does not wait for the
person who stops to rest.
1t is said that no sane man can
write satisfactory love letter.
A man does not waste much time
on woman who is fattery-proof.
Pinks of propriety are nearly al
ways found in the wall flower bunch.
A woman thinks sheis getting even
with man by making herself misera-
bic.
Nothing pleases a girl more than
her ability to keep a young man
guessing.
There is not sufficient food for
thought in some speeches on which to
make light lunch.
How unintereSting a woman would
be if she had neither curiosity nor
suspicion in her makeup.
A woman never has much faith in
the family physician unless he can
tell her what to do for her sickly
plants.
When you land in a strange city
do not judge its hospitality by the
eagerness with which chaufferrs and
cab drivers invite you to take rice.

Club Women Are Working Today for
Anti-TubefcuIosis Society.

Today the club women are out over
the city-250 strong-working in the in
terests of the Topeka Anti-tuberculosis
society. They are making an effort to
increase the membership of the organ
ization from 800 to four or five thou
sand.
Every time a new recruit is secured
to enlist in the movement. towards
stamping out the great white plague"
in Topeka. it means that a dollar IS
added to the funds which will be used
in the up-keep of the fresh air camp On
the North side, and in order to main
tain the camp in an up-to-date manner
it is estimated that $4,000 should be in
sight for the year.
1t has been a long time since a
movement had been launched in To-
peka of such far reaching Importance
and which is interesting the public
generally to such marked degree. A
dollar is but pittance to pay for
membership in such an organization.
A person pays out large sums of money
on life insurance, and the suggestion
has been made that many dollar and
possibly a life may be saved through
this paltry sum that you as an individ-
ual are asked to give.
While it was impossible to get com
plete returns of the result of the work
of the club women today the reports
that have been received are. encourage
ing and show that scores of men and
women have been added to the ranks
of The society.
Much interest is being taken in the
concert tomorrow evening at the high
school auditorium. which will be given
by Percy Hemus, baritone, and Mar
garet Fowler, violinist.
Press comment in respect to the
work of Mr.. Hemus is most favorable.
"Mr. Hemus, one of New York's most
finished singers" says the New York
Musical Courier charmed the audi
ence. His flexible baritone voice is
heard to advantage in tender songs like
Schumann's Lotus Flower and Schu-
bert's 'Wiegenlied.' In the Korbay
song Mr.. Hemus gave evidence of the
more manly qualities

Trinidad, Colo, May 24-"He kill
my kid and put it in a trunk" excited
ly exclaimed Manuel Lopez, a Mexican,
breaking in upon the peace and quiet
of the sheriff's Office. Visions of
bloody murder instantly appeared be-
fore Sheriff Grisham and summoning
Acting County Jailer Delgado and
County Physician Physician Jaffa, he
prepared to take the trail of the MUIR
derer.
Lopez halted the party as they were
emerging from the Jail Office and drew
their attention to a small trunk he had
deposited in the hallway previous to
entering the Office. Breathlessly Sher-
iff Grisham raised the lid and peered
inside. A baby goat with life extinct
lay within. Although surprised at the
outcome, the sheriff arrested Juan
Gonzales. the perpetrator of the deed,
according to Lopez's charge and he
will be tried for larceny of live stock.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
This Is Campaign of Endless
Questions.
Never an Answer to Check the
Whir. wind.
TOWER OF BABEL.
One May Result From the Con.
fusion.
Apparently New Method of
Campaigning Adopted.

The primary campaign of 1910 will
long be spoken of as the great cam
paign of questions. The candidates
for governor and all their supporters
and vassals are sowing questions even
as Jason scattered the dragons teeth.
The political supporter of Stubs or
Wagstaff who has not asked a score
or more of questions does not amount
to much. But with all this whirlwind
of Interrogation points, not one an
swer has yet been recorded.
Along comes an anti-StubbS man
and asks about thirty-seven questions
covering every phase of polltlcal econ
omy from the pedigree of the late
King Menelik (who was descended
from Solomon) to the number of hairs
in the whisker of an eX-Populist. Dave
Leahy answers first by asking sixty
one questions. Then follows Amrine
with seventy-three more, and Mercer
closes the first inning with thirty-two.
Then a couple of Wagstaff managers
get together and fire another broadside
of questions and other Stubs men step
into the breach and pile up the ques-
lions high as a cats back.
There is no end to these questions.
They are corded up in the streets and
corridors and back yards. The ques-
TONERS seem bent upon building an
other tower of Babel. AS for the
righteous citizen, he is building an ark
to escape the flood
If some foolhardy gent would only
raise his voice and set forth one an
swer to all this endless array of ques-
ton marks, maybe this little old lone
some answer would grow up over night
like Jonah's gourd. maybe it would
f1pw like water from the rock under
the stroke from Moses rod, maybe it
would-oh well, it would relieve the
monotony and show up big as a light
in the darkness. Then certain honest
citizens would see the light and pass
resolutions to lynch the next man who
asked a question before he had an
swered one. -
He's out fer the final flourish where the
politics fellers roam,
But the votin' will soon be done with, an
We'll git the old man home.
An the children will climb and kiss him,
an we'll all be feein proud
That he's done with the politics fellerS-
the hooray hollerin' crowd.
Out fer the final flourish-will we know
him when he comes,
After the storm of ballots-tne roll of the
campaign drums?
Oh We'll serve him veal for his eatin',
and the best-o' the honeycomb,
When the dead returns to life again
when the projiekin> son gets home.

At the Majestic.


The author of "A Venetian Romance
may have tried to turn out a serious
drama, but he did nothing of the sort.
The play is being produced at the Ma
estic this week, by the North Players,
and is one of the comedy vehicles, seen
here for a long time However, it has
q serious side to it, ard one that holds
interest from the opening to the final
curtain.
The characters in the piece are we'll
balanced and natural. Albert Fergu-
son has the best comedy role in the
play that of Franklin Fits" And
Ferguson plays it. The part is full of
bright lines and Ferguson makes the
most OF them. Miss Ruth Robinson,
as the young bride of Fits" makes
a hit.
Keenan's Sydney Norcott" is good
but the real heavy work of the piece
falls to Clyde r. Callicotte and Miss
Russell. AS Antoine Rimina," a biga-
mist, Callicotte has found a part in
W hich ne car bring all his powers as q
heavy into play and he does it. He
has sized up the character, that of a
cold schemer and merci;ess nobleman,
and plays it with force and vigor Miss
Russell does some excellent work as
his wife.
The costumes in the play are modern.
Toilets worn by the women members of
the company are the hest seen here
this season. The stage effects are
pleasing, and the piece should go well
this week.

Monday. He reports that last week
he threshed 30 acres of oats on his
Border ranch, which yielded an
average of 35 bushels per acre, and
the grain was very good quality.
These oats were grown without any
irrigation, but the land is sub-irri-

these will go 40 bushels or better to
