You are distinctly ball girl. Your
play mood is your best mood. So you
get the men.
Can you keep them? That is an
other story. But the question illus
trates a peculiarity in woman's make
up. 1t reveals that each woman as
pires to be ALL. A wife envies the
girl who appeals to her husband $
frivolous mood. She thinks he thinks
more of her than of the woman who
shares his serious aims. She would
be frivolous, too. But she would not
want to give up being his helpmeet
and companion in more serious mat
tiers. She forgets that you, with your
pleasant folly, could not attract the
deeper interest of her husband. She
even Acknowledges you as a rival.

I think you pay pretty dearly for
your spectacular triumph under the
glare of the ballroom lights. You are
the girl who shares mems light moods
and are apt to receive like treat

a bit of backbone into their courage
and refuse to be worried by you.

Perkins Silence May Cause Him
to Face Charges.

Washington, D. C.,'Aug. 8.-Geo-
w. Perkins, a director of the United
States Steel Corporation, and one Of
the men said to have aided in averting
financial disaster in the panic Of 1907,
faces tonight the alternative of
answering questions to the House
Committee on Inquiry into the Steel
Corporation, bearing on his personal
campaign contributions and such
contributions made by the New York
Life Insurance Co., or of being cited
before the bar of the House of
Representatives.
Should the House sustain the
majority of the committee and order
Perkins to answer, and should he
then still refuse, he may be adjudged
In contempt of Congress and impris-
oned. 1t is believed, however, that
this crisis will not be reached, Per-
kins having expressed a desire to re-
fleet on his position.
Perkins, though personally willing
to talk about campaign contributions,
refused, on the advice of counsel, to
answer questions along that line put
to him by Chairman Stanley and Rep
resentative Beall of Texas.

by Governor Hadley in his efforts to

severely to task last week.
We plainly expressed our opinion
of the Governors antics in the arti-
Gle Of which he. complains, and only
desire to add that we are very CRATE
tul to Providence that we shall have
to put up for only few months
longer with a Republican make

CHAUTAUQUA A BIG SUCCESS
Large Crowds From All Sections of the
County Attend Each Session of the
Butler Chautauqua and Pro-
nOunce it Good.
nOunce It Good,

That Buffers first venture in the
Chautauqua field will prove a success
beyond the brightest expectations of
the business men behind the enter
prise is assured. Every session of
the delightful series of entertainments
has been exceedingly well attended,
large crowds coming from a Il sections
of the county to enjoy the intellectual
treats offered. The big tent. with a
seating capacity Of 1000, has been
comfortably filled each afternoon and
evening with an orderly interested
audience which showed hearty ap-
probation for each and every number
upon the program with liberal ap-
plause. A considerable number from
a distance have made arrangements
to stay in the city throughout the en-
tire Chautauqua, while much larger
number, living within radius of Is
miles are coming into town each day.
The few concessions within the
grounds are conducted in an orderly
and satisfactory manner, and nowhere
upon the grounds will one find any
layout which is even suggestive of
gambling or catchpenny tricks, the
concessions being practically confined
to refreshment stands.
Up to, and including Wednesday
evening, the program has been en-
tertaining and instructive beyond ex-
pectations, but that arranged for the
balance of the week bids fair to sur
pass even this, and every person liv-
ing within reaching distance of Butler
should make every effort to attend
the remainder of the Chautauqua.

ago. Some rot has developed and
unsprayed peaches are often scabby.
Grapes are estimated at go per cent
and the berry crop at % per cent.
In the southeastern section the
drouth injury has been less than else
where in the State. Apples have
dropped badly perhaps on account of
lack of spraying. The apple crop
prospects have declined only four
per cent, while the peach outlook is
very much better than month ago.
Apples now promise SO per cent of a
crop there, and the same estimate is
made for peaches, but the latter must
be discounted so per cent or more on
account of seedlings, and other I'M
marketable sorts being reported on.
Grapes promise full crop, but ber-
ries are a failure.
Nearly all sections of the State have
lately had rains, so that the situation
as regards apples certainly ought not
to grow any worse, and it is believed
that it will materially improve, as adj
ditional moisture in the soil will cause
the fruit to increase in size very rap
idly. It now seems that nothing can
prevent an apple crop which will be
fully 200 per cent greater than was
harvested in the State last year.

JOkers Wreck Famous Shay.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. Dur
ing the Notification last Thursday over
the adoption of the State Capitol prop
osition an old carriage was dragged
from hiding, a dilapidated team Of
horses was hitched to it and after a
tour of the streets the vehicle col
lapsed. The carriage was used at the
Inauguration of several Missouri Gov
ernors prior to the Civil War and last
conveyed Hamilton R. Gamble of St.
Louis, when he was inaugurated Gov
ernor.
The carriage belonged to the estate
of Joseph Heinrichs, who died sever.
al years agor. It has not been used in
forty years, but had been preserved
because of its historic associations.
Like the wonderful one-hoss shay"
it went to pieces all at once.

Senate Passes Statehood Bill
Free of JOkers.

Washington, D. c., Auh. 8.-By Sc
to 10, after voting down the Nelson
substitute by 43 to 26, the Senate this
evening passed the House statehood
resolution.
Twelve regular Republicans, eleven
insurgent Republicans and all but two
of the Democrats made up the over
whelming majority for prompt adj
mission of Arizona and New Mexico
to statehood.
The eighteen noes consisted of
Bailey of Texas and O'Gorman of
New York, Democrats; Kenyon of
Iowa, insurgent Republican, and fif-
teen Republican regulars, for the
mort part Eastern men.
O'Gorman voted against the House
resolution because it does not prohib-
it the recall of judges in Arizona, and
Bailey because of the initiative and
referendum, rather than the recall.
The recall, said Bailey, in a brief
speech, if a mistake, is a mistake of
administration, but the initiative and
referendum, and the initiative more
so than the referendum, he said,
strike at the basis of the representa-
tive form Of government.
The vote of the Senate puts an in
teresting issue sharply up to Presi-
dent Taft. By nearly two-thirds
vote the Senate declared for the state
hood resolution in a form that does
not, as the President demanded, for
ever prevent Arizona from applying
the recall to Judges. Will he veto
the resolution?
Now that the fight is over the men,
bers Of the New Mexico and Arizona
delegations recall that the President
really did not tell them that he would
veto it, but that he did say:
II can't sign the bill with the recall
provision left in the Arizona Constitu-
tion."
Therefore, the belief is rather gen.
eral that President Taft will not veto
the resolution, but permit it to be-
come law without his signature. II is
regarded as almost inconceivable that
the President will veto the bill passed
by twenty-three Republican and thir-
ty Democratic votes, and twelve of
these votes contributed by regular
Republicans.

MissOuri's Fruit Outlook,

COluHDla, MO-, Aug. ne state
Board of Horticulture is in receipt OF
special reports from correspondents
in all of the counties of the State
which show that the outlook for a
good apple crop is still excellent.
Taking the average condition of the
entire state, the outlook for the apple
crop has declined seven points, the
present estimate being thirty per cent
of a full crop. The peach situation
remains practically unchanged, the
present estimate being 1872 per cent
as against 1912 per cent month ago.
Since large number of these reports
are based upon Seeding peaches, the
estimate will have to be cut in half.
The outlook for grapes is excellent,
the average for the State being seven
ty'five to eighty per cent. Blackber-
ries and similar fruits were almost a
failure except in the southwestern
counties.
There is some complaint of drouth
injury, but it does not seem to be SER
ious. Unless there are heavy rains
apples will be smaller than usual, but
the color and quality will be unusual
ly good. Fruit has dropped badly
where trees were unsprayed and un-
cultivated. There is no rot, but scab
is prevalent. A detailed summary
follows:
In the northwestern section where
most of the apples were produced
last year, the weather has been very
dry. There is some injury from the
particularly in unsprayed and
orchards. The present
estimate is 81 per cent of a crop, de-
cline of six per cent in a month.
Heavy rains have just fallen there,
which will greatly improve the situa-
ton. Grapes promise from so to rs
per cent Of a full crop, but blackber-
ries and raspberries are failure.
In the northeastern section, apples
promise 40 per cent, a decline of only
a little more than one point. The
same is true of peaches. Slight
drouth injury is reported by a major
ity of the growers. Grapes promise
80 per cent of a full crop, but black
berries only IL per cent.
In the central section, the apple sit
uation has dropped from 37.5 to Is
per cent. In this territory the soil,
for the most part, is of such a nature
that continued dry weather has caus-
ed much fruit to drop. Very little
signs Of disease. Peaches have de-
clined from Is to 2l.5 per cent.
Grapes promise rs per cent of a full
crop, but berries are almost a total
failure.
In the southwestern section apple
are eleven points poorer
han q month ago, the present esti-
mate being q per cent There is
considerable complaint Of drouth in
iury, although the well cared for or
lizards are unhurt. In the main, fruit
1as dropped badly. although sprayed
orchards look well. The peach out
COX d 4 per cent better than 4 month
