Men who never failed don't believe
in luck.
It's as useless to worry as it is to
tell people not to worry.
More men have been ruined by
schemes than by bad associates
It's never too late to mend-except
when you find yourself broke.
Talk is SO cheap that most of it has
to be disposed Of at a discount.
Costly experience is a drug in the
market when you attempt to sell it.
With the exception of money. there
is nothing harder to keep than an
umbrella.
And you can never judge the value
of anything people quarrel over by the
size of the quarrel.
Money is something most of us
spend a lot of in strenuous effort to
get something for nothing.
Too many statesmen love their coun-
try with the disinterested affection felt
by a foreign nobleman for an Ameri-
can heiress.
A wise man doesn't pay a young
widow compliments unless he is matri-
monially inclined and willing to pay
her bills.

Aeroplane in War.

Those who regard the aeroplane as
invaluable in warfare, far beyond It's
possibilities. are led to their conclu-
sions by two errors-first, they do not
differentiate between the wonder of the
invention, per sc, and the limitation OF
its application; second, that this con-
quest of the heavens has nothing to dc
with the subjugation of man. 1t has
not invented into him new faculties;
and yet it is man and not machines
that we have to deal with. While it has
given new means of military observa-
ton, it does not follow that these OBJ
servations will be more Ineligible nor
his deductions more reliable, nor his
judgment and genius, his valor and en-
durance, superior to what it had been
before.
The unreliable and divarse opinions of
scouts on things that they have been
in actual contact with is a well known
military phenomenon, and one that is
perfectly natural, since there are no
two men whose perceptive faculties are
identical. A good scout is one of the
rarest elements in an army, for he is
good only because he has lived in an
environment and followed a vocation
that develops the faculties of observa-
ton and renders them accurate. An
aerial scout, on the other hand, sud-
denly shoots forward out of a vocation
that has nothing to do with those ele-
ments that would give reliability to his
reports, even though he were inspect
ing, on the ground itself, familiar OBJ
jects. But he is in an entirely new en-
vironment; he must judge all things
from an entirely different point of view,
and there is but one single thing that
he could make a report on that would
be worthy of consideration, and that is
the actual movement of a body of troops
on an open terrane. But his reports
as to the strength, it's destination, or
rate Of movement could be accepted by
no commander, and practically all the
rest of his information would be er-
roneous.
Peering down from a great height, it
would be impossible for him to deter
mine the depth of streams their bot
tom, or their currents or the thickness
Of ice He could not ascertain the an
gle or height of declivities. Looking
down from the perpendicular upon
these, he could have no means of de-
termining whether or not they belonged
to q deep gorge or a shallow ravine. He
cou\ not ascertain the location of forts
and whether in adjoining thickets they
were defended by bodies of troops or
by wired entanglements in the ford it
self. 1t would be impossible for him,
looking down upon woods, villages, and
forests to ascertain whether or not
they contained troops, and, if troops,
what kind of troops or the number.
What would appear to him to be a gap
in the enemy's lines might in all pro-
liability be their strongest position

Operation on Hyena's Jaw.

Jim, the laughing hyena of the Cen
trail park zoo, has not been living up
to his pseudonym for the last several
days As a result Head Keeper Billy
solved on Tuesday, when Snyder saw
an abscess forming on the right side
of Jim's jaw. Yesterday afternoon the
keeper decided to operate upon the pa
tient.
Getting a six-foot canvas bag, Mr..
ers. Kennedy, Sichert and Hurton.
They went to Jim's cage. After much
difficulty the four managed to bag the
animal and carried him through a
throng of unsuspecting spectators to
the lion house, which is undergoing
repairs, and is closed to the public at
present.
There Jim was dumped into a cage
and liberated from the canvas prison
by Snyder, who was alone In the cage
with the ailing hyena. Instantly Jim
rose up on his hind legs in ferocious
defiance. For a few moments he faced
his keeper in threatening attitude, but
before he could make an attack on
Snyder the other keepers, entering,
roped his four legs.
Snyder put a piece of wood in the
hyena's mouth SO that he could gnaw
out his rage. Immediately afterward
the head keeper stabbed the abscess
with a lance. Then he washed the
wound with antiseptic lotions.
Jim was bagged again and carried
back to his cage. where he reposes
in a morose temper.
While the operation was taking
place Leo, the king of the jungle,
in an adjoining cage, was an interested
spectator. He reared I'D on his hind
legs, pressed his nose against the bars
and watched every detail All work
was also suspended in the lion house
during the proceedings.-New York

AN IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN.

Topekans have been called upon Of
ten during the past few years to
loosen their purse strings and con-
tribute to worthy causes. They have
always been most generous with their
responses This generosity has been
responsible for the doing of much good
in developing the city in variety of
ways and making it better place in
which to live for all classes of its
citizenship.
Nor is the welfare of any portion Of
the city's population of such para
mount Importance as that of the
young women and the young men. On
their proper development rests the
immediate future of the city. They
will be the men and women of to-
morrow. II the city is to progress, it
will be their task to drive it on. And
| the future of a city is it's real glory.
The people of today are not discharg-
| ing their full duties unless they are
paving the way for better and higher
things. for larger and greater accom-
plishments on tomorrow. 1t is of the
utmost importance, therefore, that
the young women and the young men
| of today should be surrounded with all
possible advantages that will tend to
encourage them to right-living and
iright-thinking.
Young Women's Christian associa-
tons and Young Mems Christian asso-
Citations are important agencies the
world over in this work. That is why
the present campaign, which is under
way for the raising of $4,000 for
these associations in Topeka, is so
significant. When the original fund
was raised for the building and equip
ment of the Y. NJ. c. A. building it was
thought that the building put up
would be adequate for the needs of
the association. That has proven not
to be the case, and the people of To-
peka are now asked to supplement
their excellent endeavors which pro-
vided the original building with con-
tributions that will permit of it's ne
cessary enlargement.
AS to the Young Women's Christian
association it has never had home
commensurate with its needs, and
some $4,000 are necessary to COM
plete and equip the fine building which
is going up for this purpose at the
corner of Van Buren, and Seventh
streets. Assuredly, it is no more than
reasonable to ask that the people of
Topeka accord as good and fair treat
ment to the young women of the city
as they have to the young men. If
anything. it would appear to be more
essential that the young women of
the city be better cared for in this
particular than the young men. But
there is no need to draw such COM
PARSONS. There is no call to make
flesh of one and fowl of the other.
Both are entitled to all opportuni-
ties to better their conditions of mind
and body. These opportunities are
presented by the associations which
are asking for additional funds to
carry on their great work. And I'M
less Topekans have changed a lot of
late these reasonable demands will not
be made in vain.
