now in Jail.
A licensed Chinese gambling house
seems to have been the worst treated,
and its owners made complaint to the
officials. Later several Cinnamon were
noticed TO be carrying firearms and
they were Immediately arrested. One
man had two As caliber pistols on his
person. When he was about 10 be
placed in jail he gave a twist and
eluded his pursuers-
One man purchased SIX cigars for %
centavos each and presented some po-
liceman with them, at the time re-
marking that they would fight IL out
with their countrymen on Thursday

rested.
The Chinese merchants have been re-

respond quickly. \ short time ago two
of the hatchetmen were shot while at

then there can be very little ground
for complaint at the high price of
novels. Moreover. 1t will be in direct
line with this popular movement to
buy groceries by weight, as means OF
solving the high-cost-of-living problem
and getting ones moneys worth
Perhaps, also, this Shaw system will
have the desired effect of limiting the
output, of bringing the supply some
where near the demand. The present
method of buying 1t by the yard seems
utterly to have failed in this achieve
ment. That means of measurement
has not even proved wholly successful
with reference to Dr. Eliot's fve-foot
book shelf, which, of course. no one
but Shaw ever would have thought OF
buying by the pound.

into brilliant rose color. Sometimes
between the bright clouds and the
horizon is stretch of delicate green,
with hint of yellow light shining
through; and always, in living over a
desert sunset, you will see the soft cir
cling fight of the nighthawk skimming
over the ground and hear the low call
of the dove. When the brightness has
faded and the blue has crept in and
banished the red you draw deep
breath and feel yourself part OF the
peace and quiet of the sky, You begin
to understand the lure of the desert.
You feel as II body and soul had al

ART CRITICISM IN KANSAS

Albert T. Reid and Harvey Parsons,
two well known Kansas artists, are
very good friends. Reid was one OF
Parsons teachers.
Recently Reid drew handsome wa

stein cow-the kind they raise in Kan
sas. In the other hand she carried a
milking stool. The girl and the cow

was accepted readily and gladly by the
publishers who ordered 1t.

What are you working on?" asked
Parsons. Reid pointed to an easel on
which stood the picture Of the girl and

and. blowing out big wreath OF pipe
smoke, asked:

wa,o One Has Fever.

In cases of excessive thirst that
arise from feverish conditions the
Juice OF half a lime poured over
cracked ice or mixed with charged
waters will give relief If slowly slipped
a little at time.
It is often found that very hot water
taken by the teaspoonful will satisfy
thirst more quickly than any other
drink. The effect is heightened IL q
few drops of orange, lemon or lime
Juice is added, or a half teaspoohful
of baking soda
The main thing In thirst quenching
is not to gulp down great quantities of
liquid, to take nothing too sweet, or
too rich and to avoid Ice water, which,
contrary to usual belief. increases
rather than decreases thirst, and
against which all doctors fight.

In foreign countries some strange
methods are adopted for identifying
the contents of the washtub. In some
parts of France linen is defaced with
the whole name and address of the
laundry stamped upon 1t, and an adj
ditional geometrical design to indicate
the owner of the property. In Bavaria
every patron OF the washtub has a
number stamped in large characters
on his linen. In Bulgaria every laun-
dry has a large number of stamps en-
graved with designs, and in Russia
the laundries mark linen with threads
worked in arrow shapes. In some
