China Painting

Is an art that especially appeals
to women of culture, not only
because of the pleasure derived di-
rectly from it's pursuit, but also
because of it's place in the beautify-
ing of the home. And, besideslbeing
cultural art, it may be applied in
profitable ways. 1t is a good anti
dote both for nervousness and ennui,
tending to mental poise and refined
judgment, while combining pleasure
and employment.
The growing demand for decorated
china and for teachers of keramic
art offers exceptional opportunities
to women who fit themselves for,
and apply themselves to, this work.
The National Keramic Art Cor
respondence School, Washington D.
c., announces method by which
this pleasant and profitable art may
be successfully learned at the home
of students through a series of
lessons by mail, with criticisms of
actual work submitted, and il.divid-
ual instruction accompanying.
The expense is nominal compared
with that usually incurred in going
to the cities to take direct lessons,
and the instruction given is more
thorough and complete, including
not only the usual directions, but
also careful instruction in the prin-
cipleS underlying the art, which are
not usually explained by teachers.
All instructors of the school are
experienced masters of the art.
Earnest students who will work
at the art can earn more than their
tuition expenses while learning.

In this instance spiritual truth is
more important that historical fact.
1t is better to know that the love of
God is all-embracing than to know
that man could lie in a whales

to tell it. To stake the credibility
of the whole bible on the credibility
of one incident in the smallest book

He WAS A GOOD BOY.
The Friends of Paul Geidel Testify in
His Behalf.

New York, Aug 29.-Paul GeideI,
the bell boy charged with the murder
of William H. Jackson will testify no
further in his fight for life. Contrary
to general expectation the prosecu-
ton announced at the opneing of to-
days session of the trial that it had
no more questions to put to the de-
PENDANT
Counsel for Geidel announced out
side the court room that he would in
troduce expert witnesses to prove that
the broker died of hemorrhage and
that his death was in no way induced
by the chloroform soaked towel stuck
in his mouth by Paul.
Vim. J. Hoffman, jr., was the first
of Geidels bell boy friends called by
the defense. He told of his trip to
police headquarters on the night
Geidel was arrested and the defen-
dant's counsel declared that his testi-
mony contradicted that of the police
officers.
Then Mrs. Anna Geidel, the prison
ers mother took the stand. Paul was
always a good boy and quiet she
said, as the tears started. The only
question put to her had to do with
the boys character. Another charac-
ter witness was Mrs. Mary Geiger, of
Hartford. Il have known Paul since
he was four weeks old she said,
land his reputation was good"

OHIO BATTLES ARRESTED
Young Man Recently Out of Prison
Again i'm Trouble.

The Ohio Battles place on Central
avenue north of Topeka, was raid ed
today by the sheriff's force and Battles
and his sister We're arrested on a state
warrant charged with selling liquor
and maintaining a nuisance. Both are
now in the county jail
Recently Battles was released from
the federal penitentiary, where he
served a term for robbing a mail
pouch The young mans opportunities
in Topeka have been many But he
rallied to improve them. Several years
ago Battles was run down by the po-
lice patrol and seriously injured. Then
fund was raised to send the young
man to college. He was a promising
youngster and many people contribut-
ed to fund that aggregated several
hundred dollars. Somehow an educa-
ton did not appeal to young Battles
and he spent much OF his time in the
pool halls and at the depots. When a
number of mail sacks were missed at
the postofce, Battles was arrested. He
had key to a mail pouch in his pos
session when he was arrested.
When his term in the penitentiary
ended, Battles returned to Topeka to
live with his aged mother He said he
had reformed and would follow the
straight and narrow path. But Battles
resolution was soon forgotten.

OHIO NEWSPAPER MAN HERE
He Thinks Insurgents Are Strong in
the West.

Albert A. Reilly, political writer for the
Youngstown, Ohio, Telegram. after a trip
through five of the western states, is Of
the opinion that insurgency in the west
is stronger than it ever was before. Mr.
Reilly spent the day in Topeka and talked
with politicians of both factions regard
ing the Taft candidacy for 1872 II the
western states hold primaries to elect del
egates to the national convention he
thinks most of them will send anti-Taft
delegations. but if the old primary sys-
TENS are used the president viii have
solid delegations.
LaFoIIette is strong in the west, though
he is a radical, according to Mr. Reilly
Had Senator Dolliver lived he would have
been formidable in the west as a presi-
Dental candidate Iowa, Nebraska, Colo
RADIO and Kansas are all strong progress
sive states, as Mr.. Reilly saw them. He
believes that Harmon can carry Ohio over
Taft and that even Woodrow Wilson
could carry the Buckeye state over its
native Republican son. Wilson is very
strong in the west. and II he Is the Demo-
cratic nominee would be sure TO threaten
every Republican state west Of the Mis-
sissippi river.
Mr Reilly was much impressed with
Governor Stubs whom he met today. He
had heard much of the governor before
he came here and found him up to all he
had heard of him Reilly had long talk
with the governor about state and nation
al politics, but was unable to get an
opinion as to the complexion Of the
state delegation to the next national con-
vention. The Ohio newspaper man made
q favorable impression around the Kansas
state house
