discussing his profession.
''Funny things happen to us

Shronk. "a funny thing happened
to my friend Tim last week.
ga society belle from Spruce

When a "GOOd>Man" Goes

A few weeks ago there died in a
Kansas town man in his late
forties who, twenty years ago, was
considered one of the coming men OF
the town. He was a mighty smart
young man. He was too smart-that
was the trouble He thought he was
smarter than the Lord. SO he dab
bled with the rules of the game.
He put his toe over the dead line once
or twice and it didn't fall off, so he
thought that was easy and put his
whole foot over. So he packed up
and walked across. He didn't drop
dead. So he concluded that the Lord
wasn't on his job. OF course, folks
talked; but they said he was smart
fellow, an opinion which he shared
himself. Prosperity smiled on him.
He won every case he took. He was
brilliant and Industrious and had
way with him, and so his wife left him
and the woman who thought she was
going to get him found that he could
fool the women as well as the Lord.
And that affair was over. OF course,
the church people and the goody-
goodies were excited; but who cares
for them, when the Lord ism t working?
If the people of the town didn't like
his gait, they could lump it, he said.
He was the best dressed man in
town and made connection with the
fellows who did anything in politics
at Topeka. So when, by a combina-
ton in the county convention he got
the nomination for the Legislature,
and took his oratory out on the
schoolhouse circuit, he denounced

Market Report.

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 10, 1911.
The cattle run Of II 500 head here
today, including 1900 CALVES, is almost
entirely void of any signs Of dry
weather, to the surprise Of good
many dealers here. 1t is conceded
that pastures are pretty dry in various
localities, especially in Missouri, but
10 most cases there are other pastures
available that are IN good condition,
and within reach of the dry sections,
Which will prevent any great sacrifice
of cattle because of the dry weather,
unless conditions get good deal
worse, ard the drought more general.

steers of prime quality are worth mp

today. A fair number of steers sell
above Sc co. and not great number

fed cattle in the receipts today is
smallest Of the year, as one half the

how far It was to Cincinnati, but judg-
ing by my own country, thought 1t
only an hour or two. l began, when
we had been riding for an hour, to
think each station must be Cincin-
natl. I would arise, get all my be-
longings together, and say to the
conductor: 'Cincinnati?' l suppose
that he tried to tell me how far 1t

THE sELF-DEPREcIAToRY MAN
Few Chances Come to One Who Dis
trusts Himself, Uncle Hiram
Tells His Nephew.

Henry" said Uncle Hiram to his
hopeful young nephew, Il would not
advise anybody to go around contin-
ually blowing his own horn. We tire
OF men who do that, and we are apt
to think of them that that's all they
can do, blow.
"On the other hand, Henry, never
belittle yourself; never be self-depre-
ciatory. Don't have a poor opinion
of yourself, but if you do have such
an opinion don't express it. The man
who blows his own horn may seldom
re taken at his own valuation, but he
self-depreciatory man almost invari-
ably is.
so never run yourself down OF
speak doubtfully of your own ability.
II the boss is thinking of advancing
you and he should say to you some
day: Henry, we are thinking of try
ing you on this thing. Do you think
you could handle this job?' you don't
want to say: Well, l haven't had
much experience yet in that way, and
| really don't know whether l could do
that or not
You don't want to say anything
like that, for if you do they'll be like:
ly to think it over some more and
end up by trying somebody else, TAX
Ing a blower, maybe, who can't really
do the work half as well as you could,
but who's got self-conf1dence enough
to say he can.
You don't know what you can do
til you try. Some men try and fail,
but an astonishing number rise to oc-
casions, develop strength or ability
that others might never have thought
them to possess"

THE CENTER OF THE EARTH
How the zuni Indians Have Marked
the Supposed Spot by
Crude Shrine.

In the Zuni cosmogony, the earth
is conceived of as fiat, and shaped
like a pancake. Being chosen peo-
pie of the gods they were commanded
early in their tribunal career to go to
the exact center of the world, and
there build their homes; and one of
the most interesting legends of the
people relates the story of their wan
derings in search Of the middle place,
and tells how they Inew it when they
reached it. 1t is about 200 yards south
of their village in western New Mex
leo, 35 miles south of Gallup, Cd the
Santa Fe route. 1t is marked by a
crude shrine, built like a bake oven,
out of fiat stones. Two large remov-
able fiagstones close the entrance,
which faces the rising sun.
On the top are a number of concre-
tionary formations, known to the In
dams as thunder stones. In the in
terror are large numbers of feather
tufted prayer sticks, and several earth
enware vessels filled with sacred
meal. Numerous ceremonial dances,
In the nature of rainmaking rites, are
performed around this holy place.

greater than is usually supposed. In

was in the second story of an ordinary
clapboarded frame dwelling and the
interior walls and ceilings were plas-

weather strips. Even in this room,
