SETTING A HIGH STANDARD
chiId's Idea of Goodness Set Forth
In Perfect Faith, Without
lrreverence.

All things are relative, and to the
child, gazing at life and its wonders
with eyes as yet undimmed by So
phtsticatfon or sorrow, nothing is inn
possible, nothing unspeakable, moth
ing too sacred to be discussed or too
difficult to be attempted. Not irrev-
erence nor impertinence. but limo
cence prompts such speeches as that
recorded of the child of a popular
journalist by his devoted paternal
grandmother.
Grandma" said the little boy, de-
lightedly addressing her, do you
know what's going to happen? Papa
says that If we're real, real good, he'll
take US to the circus!"
That's nice,' smiled the young
hearted adult between whom and the
eager youngling no hint of age sep
aration mars perfect comradeship.
How good do we have to be?"
The embryo man, after a moment of
silent consideration: "Oh. as good as
God, 1 guessi"

one day Of the wonderful cures made
by Lydia E. Ptnkham's Vegetable
Compound and decided to try it,
and it has made me a well woman.
My neighbors and friends declare it
had worked q miracle for me. Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
worth its weight in gold for women
during this period of life. IF it will
help others you may publish my
letter. Mrs. NATHAN B. CREATION,
81 N. Main Street, Natick, Mass.
The Change of Life is the most criti-
cal period of q woman's existence.
Women everywhere should remember
that there is no other remedy known
to medicine that will SO successfully
carry women through this trying
period as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound.
Hyou would like special advice
about your case write a cOnfiden-
tiaI letter to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free,
and always helpful.

Spoon Shower.

This affair was given by the girls
of the bridal party at the home of the
maid of honor. The table was round.
covered with lace cloth over green;
as green and white were the bridal
colors. White roses and ferns made
the center piece, with white green
banded china, glass candle sticks with
lace shades over green. The place
cards were cut out white roses tied
with a bow Of green and the bride
elects chair was tied with a huge
fluffy bow of green and white tulle.
White and green horseshoe shaped
candy boxes held the green and white
bon-bons and a green and white Jack
Horner pie was passed with dessert,
from which the guests drew pretty
green and white swapping crackers.
Each parcel had the donors card on
which was written an appropriate SEN
timent. The spoons were all the same
pattern and as there were six it made
a very nice set. The men of the we'd
ding party, knowing about this gave
a half dozen forks and the same num-
Der of tablespoons of the same pat
tern.

Fruit-Tree blossom Luncheon.

This is the month, and the only one.
in which these decorations are avail
able. A hostess realizing this is plan
ming to use branches of apple, pear
and peach blossoms, making her house
one bower of spring beauty. The wild
pink crabapple blossoms she is going
to use exclusively in the dining room.
very Japanese effect may be
achieved with these blossoms and her
idea for this affair is drawn largely
from the celebration of the feast of
cherry blossoms so lovingly observed
by our little brown neighbors across
the western sea. Brown wisteria
baskets will be used to hold single
branches and the tint of the rooms is
all soft grays and tans, the result
will be truly artistic and pleasing.
From these hints l am sure all our
readers will want to give May lunch
cons, and what could be prettier than
these decorations for house or
church wedding? The practice of US
ing what is seaSOnable and at hand is
becoming more and more popular and
we do not need to force flowers not
in season just because it costs for
tune to get them, but use the bios
SONS nature provides for each season
as 1t rolls around.

Boys Dig out Six Wolf Cubs.

While blowing in a field a few days
ago preparatory to planting corn the
two young sons of John Smidt, of
north of Marysville, discovered a
hole in the ground which they thought
looked suspiciously like being a
VOLTS den. They tied up their teams
and went to the houswhere they pro-
cured a gun and a spade and while
one dug the other was prepared to
kill any wolf that might emerge from
the hole. They dug out the wolf s
nest, which it proved to be, and Sc
cured six cubs probably a couple of
weeks old.

member that to attempt too much is
far worse than to err on the side of
great simplicity.
No up-to-date housekeeper spreads
upon her table cloth Numbered with
many folds; she prefers to have it
folded but once lengthwise and then
rolled over a board made just the
width of the folded linen. No matter

Summers Bio Entry.

For five years the Kansas Agricul-
tural college has been pushing boys
corn contest work and has usually
had about 5000 boys in the various
county and local contests each year.
Last year Sumner county went ahead
of all other counties by sending in
names of 500 boys, but this year,
Supt. Lee Harrison has sent, up to
date, names of 1908 boys and IL girls
for the Sumner county corn contest.
This is by far the largest county list
ever sent to the Kansas Agricultural
college and probably the largest coun-
ty list ever secured in any state.

AGE of X. S. A. c. Students.

How many students in the Agricui
tural college are studying agriculture?
An investigation on this point, began
by President Daters recently, has dis
closed some very interesting statis-
tics in regard to students ages. The
most important part of this disclosure
shows the average age OF all the stu
dents in this college for the last two
years-and there were approximately
400 of them in that time-was 21.69
years. This fact is worthy of more
than passing notice because it contra
diets the idea, somewhat prevalent,
that students in the Agricultural col
lege are unusually young. By classes,
the average ages are, at the time of
entering: Freshmen, 1867 years;
sophomore, 2O.65; junior, 22.40;
senior, %; graduates, 25.75; short
course, 22.32.
