Knew What He Meant.

1t was an unconventional manner in
which Lord Kelvin popped the ques-
tion,' and in the doing so won his
wife. The question Of simplifying the
method of signaling at sea was then
occupying his attention. His plan
seemed simple to him, but to ordinary
folk it was rather puzzling. He was
staying with friends in Madeira at the
time, and one day the subject was I'M
der discussion at the dinner table, but
the only person that seemed able to
grasp it was his hosts daughter, a
lady he greatly admired. 81 quite

Are you sure?" he questioned, hall
doubtfully. IF I sent you a signal
from my yacht. do you think you
could read it, and answer me?" AZ

CHARMING NEGLIoEEs.

Were negligees ever more fascinat-
ing than they are this season?
Unfortunately, beauty and high
prices usually go hand in hand, but
with patience and fine sewing even
the prettiest negligee may be made at
home.
Lovely soft materials may be bought
for a wee small sum.
The new cotton crepe, fine and sheer
as silk crepe. is a charming material
for a sack.
1t washes beautifully and, Of course
needs no ironing.
For daintiness and general practica-
bility there are all that are necessary
for trimming it.
Warmer, and perhaps more service
able, are negligees made Of challis OF
fine french flannel.
A bit of hand embroidery adds
greatly to these.

Some Facts From Kansas.

During the past year forty eight of
the 105 Kansas COMMITTEES. with popu-
IatIon of 430,274 did not send single
prisoner to the state pententiary.
Fifty-seven out of the los counties
had not single pauper.
Eighty-seven of the l05 counties did
not send single insane patient to an
institution.
Kansas death rate is the lowest in
the world, seven and one. half in one
thousand persons.
The state sui boasts Of the lowest
percentage Of illiteracy.
Kansas bank deposits have increased
rom $4,000, o0J,O00 to $l90, 900 900.
All of this has happened under ten
years of prohibition.
Not being compelled TO use their
money for taxes to support prisons,
poor-houses, and insane asylums,
which are largely filled by victims of
liquor, the people of Kansas are able
to put their money in the banks or to
bry automobiles, and to use their taxes
in building schoelhouses aud improv-
ing health conditions.
Prohibition has been success in
Kansas because that state has elected
officials who enforce the law.-Omaha

Or. Porros In Washington. Bride In

Not Get Home.

Washington.-Dr. Belisario Por-
ras, minister from Panama to Wash
ington, was married in San Jose,
Costa RIGA. last week. DR.. Porras
was not present at the ceremony, be-
ing now in Washington. His place
at the altar was taken by a trusted
friend, who responded In his name to
the questions IN the marriage cere-
mony, placed the ring on the brides
finger and afterward signed the name
OF DIR. Porras in the marriage regis
ter. In other words, the almost
medieval ceremony ola marriage by
proxy was observed. Sonora Porras
will be in Washington next October
to meet her husband, and Id defer
ence to modern thought there win be
another marriage ceremony in this
city. The second ceremony, how
ever, is unnecessary, because the mar
riage ceremony performed in San
lose is wholly legal and is recognized
as legal and binding by both the state
and the church.
