knows that this ia so. You can see
by the published list of standings on
Saturday who these workers are. and
1t is pity that your name is not
among them.
One wonders what it would take to
cause some of these sleepy-heads to
wake up. The Virginian contest
hasn't been able to do 1t, though 1t
has been tried long and earnestly.
The Virginian places the means in
your hands by which YOU can declare
yourself as being above the ordinary
run of mortals. You can show the
spirit and determination OF con-
queror. Should you fail, there will
be no one to blame but yourself.
There are rare exceptions to this rule.
You may be one, but II Is doubtful.
Remember that as long as there is
breath in your body you are alive.
and as .ong as there Is life there Is
hope; hope lost, all lost.
There are a thousand other quota
tons that might be used here with
effect, but it is presumed that a few
suggestions may set you thinking.
When you have begun to thing for
yourself you have achieved something
anyway. This is great deal more
than can be said for some of the con-
testants. Then let the others do the
thinking and talking while they sit by
and listing. taking everything that
is said as the gospel truth. Perhaps
some of them think that they have
sufficient votes to win. and 1t Is not
necessary to do anything more.
Those who are resting on what they
have accomplished will see their error
nc
only those who keep everlaaNngty
plugging away will come out ahead.

WHY LOVERS J|lT
NOW EXPLAINED
MYSTERY OF THE AGES Is SOLV-
ED BY MEN OF LEARNING
AND PSYCHOLOGIST.

LONDON, Nov. 1T.-Just as pa
tient goes to specialist to ascertain
the exact nature OF his Illness. so
may a man or a. woman go To a psy-
chologist at the present day to ind
out whether he or she is in love"
For the state of being in love
may now be located, and its develop
ment ascertained just as easily as a
case OF phthesis or rheumatic govt.
Am | truly in love? Is my affec-
ton like to be lasting" a Young
lover may ask. And TIE psychologist
after few pointed questions can tel
just how strong and enduring are the
young mans feelings toward his be-
loved
These interesting possibilities arise
from q lecture given by DIR. William
Brown on Emotions and Morals at
Kings College,
Some passages from the lecture
were as follows:
A sentiment is a system of emo
tional disposition conferred about the
idea Of some object. falling in
love is a crystallization OF whole
set Of emotional tendencies ard ideas
round about the object.
One cannot tell love or emotion,
because 1t Involves u whole series of
GulOLlQnS tHcFe are UHiS wv
main sentiments. love and hate.
In my interview Or. Brown en-
larged On the subject OF love looked
at from the psychologists point of
view.
When a person falls in love- a
nucleus Of ideas and emotions forms
in the brain" he said. These emo
lions all center around the object OF
affection.
I'm time, il the state of love con-
times these ideas become solicited
and grow In strength. They become
more and more compact as 1t were.
IF the state Of love is very strong
It Il possible that the whole mind Il
attracted and merged In the central
idea. In such cases sudden rever-
/. sions may occur. and the state oil

Very Old Gentleman.
An old gentleman lives in Versailles
whose visiting card has the curious
inscription:
Pierre Schamel-
Centenarian.
Born at Versailles. 25th August. 1907.
AS his visiting card shows he Is
in his hundred and fifth year, and
he is very proud of the fact.
He Is white bearded old man,
with long white hair, straighter in
gait than many a man of half his
age. has never worn eyeglasses. and
has not known a days illness for over
sixty years.
His father was concierge OF the
chateau at Versailles when the En-
peror Napolean lived there. and the
old man tells of seeing the Empress
Marie Louise at a fancy dress ball
in the castle.
Funny French Law.
France is a country OF restrictions.
The government has it's hand in all
branches of the life of the country.
1t controls the match and Tobacco in
dustries, runs the railroads and seems
at times prone to enact regulations
for the express purpose of annoying
and harassing the public. Its restric-
tions even extend to the kitchen.

TOO OLD FASHIONED.
Topeka Relatives Leave Aged Grand
mother to Charity.

Many sad stories come to the notice Of
the state board of control during the
year, but the one about the aged woman
in the Wyandotte poor farm is the sad
dest of them all She smokes does this
old lady, and she is old fashioned and i'll
the way, and her presence brings dis
grace on her well-to-do children and
grandchildren. and they will not take
care of her. At least her Topeka rela-
tives have declined on account of these
things. Her Kansas City relatives have
helped her, but they are not able to do
as much as the Topeka relatives could do
The board investigated the affair and
from a letter received recently the fol-
lowing sentence is taken: Our grand
mother is old, and she smc%ss. and is
old-fashioned. Her presence in the fam
~ would disgrace us with our society
friends. We cannot keep her"
