1t is only natural TO expect this

hopes It's wealth and its splendor
are the direct result of years of
travel through five continents, where
it is as we'll known as in its native

research in all the foreign lands,
civil and savage, to bring together
the strange types of the human race,

and Asiatic design and workmanship,

costly tapestry. drapings and cos

two years artists, artisans and

for this mighty parade.

The crew of the Magdalena. Of the
Royal Mail Line, which arrived from
South American ports. tell Of an enor-
nous fish caught last Friday by Tony
Mongaro, the cook The fish, when laid
on the deck, measured nearly one half
the length Of the ship, and weighed 160
pounds. The fish was so large that it
was necessary to use the steam winch
to get 1t on board the steamship.
Tony is a devout Roman Catholic,
and he found on last Friday that .here
was nothing to eat on board except
meat and ship biscuits. The Magdalena
then was anchored at Savanilla, Col
ombia. AS the cook had not desire to
eat ship biscuit he started to catch a
few fish for his meal. The lire was
jerked suddenly, and Tony fell over
board He chung to the line. and was
pulled through the water so fast that
it made his head swim. while his arms
and legs were powerless.
The crew rescued Tony, and made
fast the line. After two hours work the
crew got the fish to the side of the
vessel Native fishermen said that the
fish was known as a "grouber. New

Keeping TOPEKA ON THE MAP.

KEEPING Topeka ON THE NAP.
St. Louis is to be congratulated on
getting both her balloons in the In
ternational Balloon race. But it will
have to be admitted, even In St.
Louis, that luck, or something akin to
it. cut quite a figure in the national
elimination race Pilot Jacobs and
Aide Emerson, who handled Topeka
II, certainly walked away with the
honors in the matter of handling
balloon under unusual emergencies.
They showed the sterling mettle of
which they are possessed And before
the ballooning season Of 1911 is over,
with Just a modicum OF luck, Topeka
II will be put through some PAGES by
Mr.. Jacobs and Mr.. Emerson that will
attract even more attention than did
their remarkable work in the recent
race. And the city of Topeka viii be
advertised and boosted to the four
ends of the earth accordingly. Helping
to purchase Topeka II was the best
investment that the wide-awake peo-
pie Of the Kansas capital ever made.
It has done more to give Topeka a
place of prominence on the map than
any other effort in this direction that
has been undertaken. Topeka was the
only small city in the entire United
States that had a representative in
this big balloon race. This fact alone
is Of tremendous Importance to the
city. That success was not achieved in
citing place in the international race
is regrettable But the mere fact that
Topeka was able to start a balloon in
the elimination race has been heralded
far and wide The stories of the ex-
citing experiences of the men who
sailed the balloon viii be told and re-
told in newspapers, weekly periodicals
and monthly magazines, because their
feat is a unique one in the annals of
ballooning. And every time their deeds
are recOunted they win be woven
around Topeka II.
1.-The capital of Kansas must be some
pumpkins" people will be saying to
themselves, TO have a balloon big
enough to enter the biggest balloon
races in the world" The value of such
observations will be invaluable to the
city. And although Topeka II did not
win a place in the international race
she is going to start with it just the
same as a noncontestant and make a
try for the worlds record distance
prize, for which a special cup is offered.
This is the proper spirit. Mr.. Jacobs
and Mr.. Emerson are to be congratu-
lated for having it. Topeka is to be
congratulated that two such able aero
nauts are sailing under her colors.

KANSAS COMAENT



ONE MUST GIVE TO GET.
one Is often surprised to see for
%hat slight reasons people will turn
GOWN an ofrer by the tried and true
nome merchant, to accept some more
or less lllusory bargain offered at a
Often the apparent gain of a nickel
or dime Is enough to lead people
TO send their money away from home.
1t is one Of the laws of life, that
10 get one must give. You can't al
ways be absorbing the good things OF
life from those around you, and never
give anything in return.
All life is trade. Sooner or later
the man. who thinks he can get some
thing for nothing always is found out,
ana he gets what he gives.
The man who is not a familiar face
in the business places of his home
town Is not a man who attracts many
business friendships. He creates very
little good will. People buy of him if
they have to, if they find that he has
bargains that they simply can't resist,
but when things are about even, they
never go out of their way to serve
him.
Such man gets a reputation for
cold isolation, and il he wins il is by
sheer hard work and friendships never
help him.
A great many of the prizes in life
go by favor. TIE fellow who feels in
terested in his townsmen, who takes
every opportunity to throw a good
business deal in the way of a neigh
Dor, has created a host of friendly and
willing debtors. These favors are not
forgotten They may seem bread cast
upon the waters of a shOreless sea.
Then some day when he least ex-
poets it, along comes some man 10
whom he has done a business favor,
to whom it is pleasure to make some
return.
Here is explained the mysterious ease
with which some fellows get along in
life. They never seem to work as hard
as others. But they have a genius
for business friendship, they throw
business favors to friends whenever
possible, they buy everything nossible
Of their toWnsmen. They create such
a host of business allies, that by and
by they find what q lot OF people there
are in life who enjoy and believe in
returning and remembering mutual OBJ
igations.-Winfeld Courier.
BETTER SANITATION NEEDED.
There is probably not a town in
Kansas--intelligent progressive, ag-
gressive, proud Kansas-in which
sanitary conditions are good. They
are much nearer par with Italy, Spain,
Turkey and the Orient than with Ger
many or northwest Europe generally.
Only slight regard is paid to sanitation
in the most public places, and prac-
tieally none in retired places, recesses,
alleys" etc. The foregoing is a pretty
strong statement to make but never
theless it is not very far off. If you
doubt 1t go out on a tour of inspection
and see for yourself.-Luray Herald.

Topeka and Topekans weathered the
recent and continued hot and dry spell
in wonderful shape-in a manner that
is bound to add more prestige to the
capital city of Kansas as being a
and doing business.
The usual reports from all over the
country are that the heat wave caused
much suffering in the cities. In the
BIZ cities in the east there were many
deaths from the heat. There were
countless prostrations. In Topeka there
was scarcely anything of this sort. In
many Of the big cities and in some of
the smaller ones-and right here in
Kansas, too-there have been near wa.
ter and ice famines. Even ice riots
were staged by angry people in New
York the other day because they could
not begin to get the ice tho needed or
were forced to pay prohibitive prices
for the ice that was offered for sale.
No situations approximating these
developed in Topeka. For a few hours
one day there was a low pressure 90
water. But an efficiently conducted
municipally-owne water plant was
new well just about completed was
forced into service. In a jjffy, the To-
peka water supply assumed normal
proportions. Since then there has beea
plenty of water of the best possible
quality for every one in the city. And
even when the pressure was low for
those few hours, there was water
enough for every one. The water plant
is in such shape that, barring accidents
Of temporary effect, there will be an
adequate water supply here if the dry
spell should continue for the entire
suno~7er which is scarcely a possibility.
Sympathy goes out to other cities in
Kansas that have been and are hard
pressed for water, but the fact that
TOpeka's water supply is able to meet
and Withstand the severest of tests is
certain to be a big feather in the city's
cap. A sufficient water supply for
every need is far and away the most
essential adjunct Of a city.
So, too in the matter Of ice. The ice
companies of the city were able to meet
the heavy demands made upon them in
handsome fashion, and without resort
ing to any increase above the normal

number Of years. Nor must the fact
be lost sight Of that Topeka's multi
tude of fine trees stood the people in
good stead during the sizzling days.
Not only did they protect the houses
from the blistering sun, but they also
made it possible for Topekans to walk
in reasonable comfort to and from
their work during the hottest of the
days. Many people do not realize the
asset to this city that her trees are.
But outsiders do. They marvel at
them. and wonder why greater stress
is not laid on them and their advant-
ages in the advertising matter that is
sent broadcast about Topeka
All in all Topeka has proven herself
to be an ideal hot-weather town, just
as she is an ideal town in nearly every
respect that makes a city worth while
and assures it a brilliant future.

Something out of the ordinary in

as described by the Oskaloosa Times:

called "Dago5~ came out from Kan
sas City the first of the week to
spend the glorious Fourth with rela-
tives and friends at Oskaloosa and
Ozawkie. Before going to the pave
ments "DagO' was q traDPer of musk

habitat was principally along the
banks of the peaceful Slough. Fin

charm, and his job of polishing brass
on the Metropolitan's cars grew very
irksome and a great longing to view
once more the leafy Isles of Slough
creek overcame him. And so he came
back. But misfortune overlook ''Da-
CO." At Ozawkie he imbibed too free
~ of malt, vinous and other intoxi-
eating liquors and he got to jumping
around in the street and hollering
some, very much to the surprise and
indignation of Ozawkie. "Dago" was
sure puncturing the peace OF the lit
tie town. Then Ozawkie pulled her
self together and telophoned the
county attorney. Undersherin Patrick
was sent for the riotous one and he
was brought before Justice Leech who
made it $40 and costs which brought
the total up to SIS. On the plea that
he could borrow the money from a
relative he was taken to the south
part of town by Sheriff Mccain and
when he went to the pump for a drink
dash was made for a nearby corn
field and liberty. The sheriff won the
foot race and ''Dago'' wa placed in
the county Jail.

FROM OTHER PENS
DOUBLE LIVES.

The papers of Chicago published
the picture of a man who was the vic
tim of a mysterious murder. After a
careful examination of their rogues'
gallery the police positively identified
him as a notorious hotel thief. They
were scarcely through when two wom-
en- visited the undertaker's and looked
at the body. Its brother Jim,'' one
Of them cried.
1t came outstl1efl that, to the sister,
the man had been an upright citizen,
active and prosperous in business, the
careful conservator of a fortune left
him by his father. The annals of
crime contain many stories of men
who have led lives of viciousness, not
through necessity, but through love of
the risks they ran, of the excitement
they gained. Double lives" are not
uncommon In any community. The
stories belong to the field of news
which is so vastly larger, more tragical
and more human than that with
which the newspapers can deal. We
have often thought that men who di-
vided their existence between the light
and the darkness did so more because
they loved the danger and the adj
venture of sin than they loved SHINING.
