Another thing:
He had a vision of the needs of the
miners and in trying to carry out his

bors. their isolation, their poor homes,
/ their improvident ways and their lack
Of diversion. But
| When he tried to organize the men
he lost his job. Again and again he

! tiYity.
f! Finally he was elected secretary
| treasurer of district No. 13-the Iowa
district
| Then came the battle of his life in
getting the miners of the district to
| pay larger per capita tax. His per-
suasive oratory won. Today the dis
trict has a fund of two to three hun
dred thousand dollars in it's treasury.
Under White death and endowment
benefits were introduced. The dis
trict has the highest standing in the
country. It's contracts with the op-
orators are scrupulously carried out,
and a 100000 labor temple is to be
erected for headquarters. Like John
Mitchell, White has often taken the
unpopular side. but he has never be-

In illustration of this fact the career
of John P. White is the new.

You have heard about General Nogi
of Japan?
You know he is the hero of the
army as Admiral Togo is of the navy.
both winning their fame in the Russo
japanese war.
A big man?
He is. But he was not born to
greatness. He was the son of poor
common folk. His father was not
able to educate him, but young Nogi
determined to get an education by
his own efforts.
The young man went to a place
where there was "elan school," His
days in the dormitory there were
! days of great hardship.
In his time it was the custom for
the boys to bring their own unhulled
rice to the dormitory and pound it for
themselves in the mortar provided for
that purpose; also the boys cooked
| the rice for themselves, collecting the
i fuel necessary from the neighboring
woods.
You see, the Japanese diet is mostly
rice. and with rice as the main ration
the Japanese soldiers whipped the
Russians, who are great meat eaters.
Now
Nogi, being a poor boy who had to
make his way, in addition to provid-
ing his rice and fuel. worked at groom
ing the horses of the school.
An easy job?
IF pniUhf haon ono hoH oIip-
pers and currycomb and brushes, but
there were no such things provided
/ Nogi has to SINCE the horses coats
with a torch which he made with
twisted twigs; also he chopped the
straw for the bran mash feed of the
horses with hand ak.
Just try to SINCE horses coat with
torch-without burning the horse.
Besides all the manual labor, young
Nogi, of course, must study his lessons
and recite with the rich boys who had
more leisure This double task made
a severe strain on his powers of en-
durance, and he nearly broke down.
But
Determined to get his education, he
got it. And when he was called upon
to use his sharpened mind in leading
his soldiers he was fully prepared.
You see
A boy. like loaf of bread, will rise
according to the amount of yeast
there is in him. Nogi had plenty of
yeast in him. and it kept working.
Give the yeast in you a chance.

THE QUALITY OF MERCY.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall
obtain mercy.
let US put the other side of that
2 aeafitude-
Cursed are the merciless, for they
: shall not obtain mercy.
Bfessed-cursed.
They are the two sides of the same
shield. If the one is true the other
2 must be true.
Blessed is he who stands at the doors
of life to dispense to those who need
{ kindness and mercy. To him come the
-sorrowing, the weak, the heavy laden,
the misunderstood, the down and out.
He may sometimes be tricked or cheat
sd In his clemency. sometimes he may
a5e overcredulous.
But
He is blessed. And when he in his
turn needs mercy the world will be
rvery tender and solicitous.
On the other hand, the merciless is
ssalre to be punished for his lack of
snercy And when he is dashed for his
ain fine world will look on and laugh at
Eais discontinue and feel that retribu-
,@ion has found its certain victim.
Take the business world.
The business man who is hard and
unr6ieuting, who demands his pound
of aesh, who kicks his rival when he
IS down, SEINE day-so changeable are
economic conditions some day he will
be In need Of the mercy he has refused
another.
And then
Revenge steps in-the revenge of the
refused
Men are quick to pay in resentment;
out, you say, are they always grateful
for mercy shown them? Nearly al
ways. About the last thing real
man forgets is the hour of his need
and mercy. But grateful or no.
1.-The quality OF mercy is not strain
sd'
It biesses him who gives as it curses
fairn who withholds. The quality Of
mercy ennobles man. It makes him
big in soul, strong in honesty and tall
enough to stoop In service. 1t Is only
the chivalric in spirit who are merci-
s-sui.
Therefore be merciful. 1t pays. and
9sas the sign Of greatness-the great
ness or goodness.
When you are tempted to strike,
stay your hand. And scorn not your
rival when be is in the dust. Be mer-
scifui.
Mise some evil day you shall be de-
z5vered over to the retribution that
awaits its chance.
4 BE merciful and obtain mercy.

TUB DRESSES FOR ONE DOLLAR.
Lawns and Ginshams for Everyday
 Wear.

It is astonishing how many dainty frocks for the summer can be made these days setting the limit of eX- terms and threads. says a writer for the Philadelphia Times.
 Never before have so many delicate designs been shown in inexpensive lawns and ginghams, and the busi- ness girl should begin now to make the smart little dresses which she will wear to the office during the coming summer.
 Two things should be remembered. One is that much trimming of any sort detracts both from the cool eff feet of the gown and makes it bad to launder: and the second is that however dainty the very light ma terials are they are far less service able than a plaid or a plain buff or blue dress.
 As to the question of expense, begin with the pattern. Choose one of the new ones that are capable of being carried out in several different fash ions, with or without the high waist line or with long or short sleeves and with or without yoke. Thus for 15 cents you will provide yourself with a pattern for several frocks.
 Next, a few yards of white null and some inexpensive lace will make broad collars and cuffs and a fichu or a dainty pointed yoke. all of which will serve as trimming for your gowns.
 Then as to materials. Ginghams. plain ones, may be purchased as low as and 10 cents a yard. A good quality of lawn in dark colors is only a cent or two more in price, and the narrow skirts and small sleeves make it possible to make dress with seven or eight yards of fabric.

KANSAS IS FOR TAFT.
Thomas Wagstaff. x-GubernatOrial
Candidate, Makes Statement

Kansas is for Taft. People and
politicians are getting right with Taft
regardless of party lines" said Thomas
Wagstaff of Independence. Republican
candidate for governor in 1910, who
spoke at the fifth annual watermelon
feast of the A. o. U. w. at Shorey Last
night. Mr.. Wagstan was talking in
formally after his address.
Let me tell you" he continued.
party lines have almost disappeared.
My idea is that President Taft in Kan
sas is stronger than his party : get

travelling over the state this summer.
must say that it is remarkable with
what respect the president is held by
the Democrats. Whether this is be-
cause of the presidents stand for Ieci-
procity 1 don't know, but the fact re-
mains.
And I have found quite a number Of
the so-called insurgents who are for
him. On the other hand, 1t Is as sur
prising to find some Of the so-called
standpatters are against him. How
ever, l honestly think that if we we're
to vote for president this fall, Taft
would lead the ticket in Kansas. His
visit to the state this fall should help
him.
An audience of over 200 people heard
Mr. Wagstaff. He is a member of the
A o. u. w. and urged that the order
infuSe itself with new life by getting
new members. He also told IF the
work of the organization in the past
His address in part follows:
Without the assistance of such or
ders as the A. o. u. w. Kansas could
not have maintained her educational
institutions as she has. For we have
bought the bonds issued for school pur-
poses and lave helped in other ways IN
the good work.
And since its organization the A o.
Z. w. has given more than s15O00.00O
to the widows of the deceased members.
But there are two things that
threaten the order: One is indifference
on the part of the members about
bringing in new brothers and the other
is cheap competition. My mother al
ways told me that a cheap coat makes
a cheap man. Many cheap rate orders
exist but how many of them payy

that the report would find startling
oyercharges in the office of Thomas
and would rap Larimer and Wilkerson,
but probably not injure Norton.
1t is generally accepted theory
among persons who have watched the
audit that Thomas will suffer the
greatest when the report is filed TINS
report is said to show difference IN
fees due the county from the clerk OF
the courts Office of more than S3,1 30.
If these reports are true-and the
public is to be rightfully informed in
a few hours after this paper goes to
press-Thomas on January I, this
year. owed Shawnee county $16.444. rs.
This amount is not a shortage, how
ever. According to the canvass of his
own books, Thomas admits that his
indebted edness to the county is $12,-
$500.
Statute Is Conflicting.
The large amount due the county is
due from the fact that several conflict
ing sections of the statutes were found
and only recently was Interpretation
of the law secured on which the coun-
ty board and Thomas were willing to
base a settlement. Thomas has ten
dered the county board check for
the amount which he admits he owes
in regular fees. Whether the matter
will be finally settled on this basis will
not be known for some time.
IF a settlement is not reached at
this figure, Thomas declares he will
carry the matter to the supreme court.
AS let the public is not advised
whether the report will charge that
the S3.75O difference is composed of
excessive fees charged in the office, or
whether it is from unclaimed fees that
should revert to Shawnee county.
If adVices which have reached Col.
J. D. Norton are true, his record is to
be purged in grund style. Excess fees
probably not to exceed s. or e1O-are
sali to be found against the sheriff s
Office Whether. however, the audit of
the sheriffs Office was based on the
already audited claims of Norton, or OIL
his original charges, is not known by
the Sheriff and Mr.. Koenig declines to
say Col. Norton was happy today in
the belief that the report would Vlndi-
cate his many questionable charges.
4 am sure from information that I
have received said the sheriff, s'that
the report will prove that my charges
have been just and legal"
Reflects ON NViIkerson.
Things are not so promising for John
M. Wilkerson, who preceded Norton in
office. On authority that is claimed to
have come from authority, is the state
ment that Wilkerson's collections are
long to the tune of $500 or 81 900.
Then James E. Larimers record is
said to come in for censure. Lariiner
and the special auditor have not been
chummy. In fact the relationship has
been a bit strained. At a recent ses-
sion of the county board words are
said to have passed between the two
