now going on in Topeka, addressed the
students of the high school this morn
ing. Mr.. Alexander said: High school
IS not the place to loaf, but a.
place where you can obtain knowledge
to meet the great problems of life
These great problems of life are not
solved in your later life, but they are
solved during the time you are attend
ing school. Every problem you sJlve
here in high school means that you can
meet the problems in life just so much
better
Mr.. Alexander spoke to the slogan
of the Cameron clan of Scotland. and
told of the way they obeyed the slogan
even if it cost them their lives as it did
in many cases. The slogan was,

Man in Pink Shirt
Led in JuareZ Attack

The telegraphic story Of the events
which threw the fat into the fire in
Mexico Monday and started the war
over again, mentions a man in a pink
shirt as the one who led the attack on
Juarez. Having touched the spark to
the powder magazine tust as the bellig-
erents were shaking hands for peace
and reformation. the man in the pink
shirt passes out of The telegraphic mar
rative and out Of the history Of Mex-
leo. - -.
Unless this man in tho pink shirt is
an exception, those who live IN a coun-
try town know him well. The pink shirt
itself was bought at a racket store for
90 cents. The man plays a stiff poker
game. hunts \ rood deal without refer
ence tn the game laws, and is a familiar
figure at ball games, country fairs AMI
foot races where betting is tolerated.
Wagering money on the outcome Of q
ball game is too slow for him He bets
on whether the next throw Of the
pitcher will be ball or a strike: whsth-
er the batter misses or breaks his bat
whether the catcher running for q foul
gets it OF is cut on the barbed wire
fence. ... ~. r.
1t is disturbing to Know that a man
IN pink shirt could overrule the gen.

There is a likelihood that as a result

demand as formerly.
''Phoradendron flavesceus'' is found in
the United States In our own immediate

parasite are known to the Southwestern
States and to California. The history
OF its connection with religion goes back
to the nebulous primeval mythology Of
the Sagas and the Eddas. Balder the
Good was slain with a mistletoe spear.
Among the Celts the mistletoe was
highly esteemed as a. cure for epilepsy
and convulsions. 1t figured largely in
the rites Of the Druids and the folk
lore Of the German tribes.
Long ago the plant was robbed of
it's medicinal prestige. In these latter
sophisticated times Its glory has been
ephemeral, for just one day Of all the
