We wonder if it ever occurs to young

AS soon as a woman begins to love a
man. She begins to figure on marrying
him. But it isn't always that way with
man.
Experience indicates that if girl wants
a husband, she must get out and hustle
for one, the same as a man husties for a
job.
When a young man and young woman
have been engaged long time, they talk
as rough to each other as married people.
Still. you can think of lot worse ca

arts of oratory and letter writing are on
the decline.
While a boy is away with gun, his
mother declares that If the good Lord
will bring him back alive, she will never
let him go again.
If a woman is patient, and kind, and
sensible her husband will fall in love with
her again after they have been married

HOPE
A man who hoped and did no more,
With long and tangled hair,
sat in his little cabin door
And lightly laughed at care.
Day after day he chung to hope,
The winds blew fair and i'll:
He used no water and no soap,
His hair grew longer still.
HIS cabin sagged around one end,
His shoes fell from his feet,
He sat alone. without a friend,
But still found hoping sweet.
At last the wall fell in one day
And crushed him where he sat: :
Another, passing, heard him say;
I'd not expected that"
MORAL.
The man who hopes may be serene,
With ne'er a fear or flutter:
Hope is q staff on which to lean,
But it's not bread and butter.

A LESSON 70 LEARN.
FROM OFFER PENS
GROWING SIZE OF CONGRESS.

A serious question in regard to the
new apportionment relates to the pros
pectfve increase in the number of rep
resentatives. There are 391 members
now and the number is much too large.
If the new apportionment were made
on the old ratio the number would be
increased to 461. But an increase in
the ratio sufficient to keep the number
down to even 400 would result in a loss
Of members by several states which
have not grown rapidly in population.
Political temptation, therefore, will call
for a considerable increase. But the
more Representatives there are, the
smaller win be the caliber of men who
go to congress Not only that, but a
house of 400 or more members is I'M
wieldiy and incapable of the delibera-
ton which should be given to national
legislation. Its tendency must be 20
represent local interests regardless OF
national interests. The opportunities
for log rolling will be increased. It is
doubtful if any measure could be
passed except by log rolling.
It would be great improvement If
the total number of members could he
cut down to 200. This would require a
ratio SO large that many of the states
would be reduced to the single repre-
sentative of which they cannot be de-
prived, no matter how small their pop
ulation. But perhaps it would be
easier to cut down the representation
of all the states than to limit the In
crease in such a manner that only five
or six states would lose members, par
ticularly if but one state was to gain
members.-Buffalo Express.
PRESIDENT TAFT AND LABOR.
President Taft distinctly recon-
mends that congress extend the opera
ton of the efght-hour law so as to in
clude workmen engaged in private as
well as public shipyards. and If con-
serve to clear up situation about
which there has been all too much ir-
ritation and annoyance, both to labor
and the government The president
pays stout tribute to common sense
when he says he can not see the diff
ference in building ships in public or
private yards when it comes to
the matter of this law. That ought
to crafty union labor very much.
The workman should find much of
interest to himself by careful study
of Taft policies relating to labor. This
recent message to congress is strong
with fair consideration of the inter-
ests OF union labor. He not only comes
out in cordial comm endation of the in
terests Of the eight-hour law and it's
general application to government
work, but firmly reiterates his advo-
cacy of better system of employers
liability, thing labor has been per-
sistently demanding. This is one of
the demands the president has all
along declared he would urge upon
congress at this session and he has
done so. 1t comprehends fair COM

that it will appeal to the sense of JUS
tice of the mpioyer.-Omaha Bee.

KANSAS COMAENT
WOMEN AS STAGE CENsoRs.


According to the woman author of
recent work on Home Life in Amer
ica," by a tacit division of interests,
while the American husband occupies
himself strictly with the business of
making living, to the American wo-
man is delegated the supervision of the
artistic side Of the country's develop
ment. She is the custodian of culture,
and FOR her writer's write and all the
arts are carried on More specific. but
along the same line. was the statement
of Miss Mary Shaw before the Society
of New England Women that women
compose S5 per cent of theater audi
ences.
Accepting these conditions as so, an
inquiry is pertinent as to how satisfac-
torily the women are discharging their
seif-assumed stewardship of arts and
letters, particularly as respects stage
art. If men constitute only Is per cent
of audiences, would tsSalome'' or
"Elektra" or anyone of the continuous
series of problem" plays survive n
first performance with only their sup
port? No doubt if the "higher drama"
were dependent on masculine patronage
1t would decline The absence of wo-
men would operate equally to doom a
beautiful stage allegory like 1.-THE Blue
Bird" and dramatic symbolism Of a
result would be a gain or loss to the
stage is a question.-New York World.
GREEN CHRISTMAS FALLACY.
An old proverb says that a green
Christmas makes a fat churchyard,
and as most people accept a proverb
as IL 1T We're indisputably true, it
should be said that there is no truth
whatever in this particular saying. No
warrant is found for it in statistics,
and the very fact that people whose
health Is below the average are adj
vised by physicians to seek a mild eli
mate in winter. should show others
that when the Christmas holidays are
mild and pleasant they should not be
oppressed with any unusual dread of
impending death It is much more
likely that old ladies who dwell in a
world of proverbs will come to grief
than that undertakers will have any
special reason to rejoice.-Spring Hill

Heretofore, nothing has been said in these col umns about poslam, a new skin discoV- cry, in connection with it's use after shaving. Its publicity and sales have been confined almost exclusively to it's remarkable properties as an eczema cure; it stops the itching at once and cures the worst cases in few days. While the application of poslam after shaving is one of its minor uses, such as for pimples. the complexion, etc., shavers will find 1t a revelation, as it does for abrasicns, roughness. and se- were scrapings what it does for all manner of skin difficulties-heals and cures in a few hours. It is the only article possessing real antiseptic and curative value that has ever been ex- plotted for this purpose, and will soothe and tone up the skin as no toilet preparation could possibly do.
 Poslam can be had for fifty cents at any reliable druggists, particularly Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy. Or the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 25th St., New York City, will send trial supply free by mail to any one who will write for it. This is sufficient to show results in "A hours.
