A senate bill by one Curtiss
would deprive the newspaper men
of this state Of the benefits emana
ting from the publishing OF Ieter
red laws. Just because the publish
ers in each county demanded The
legal price for publishing the
laws and amendments, which, sad
to say ran up to $1,000 for each
county, tho by no fault of the
newspapermen, this great and uni
que mind calls them "grafters".
1t would be tragic if it were not
comical. Every once while the
Editors of this state are receiving
circulars and the like from the
state historian, pure food office,
etc. with the humble request that
same be published, and that since,

funds because an erring legislature
failed to appropriate, Yes;

HELP IN POULTRY CHOLERA
Important Experiments With Serum
Depend Upon Live Material
Specimens Arrive Dead.

Can poultry cholera be prevented
by injecting serum into the diseased
fowls? The serum method of treat
ment prevents cholera in hogs, and If
the case is in its first stages, will
cure it. But will serum work equally
we'll in combating the disease when
contracted by fowls? This is what F.
s. Jacoby, of the poultry department.
and w. X. Stouder. of the veterinary
department of the Kansas State ARri-
cultural college. are eageS to know.
OF course they will use a1x:srent
kind of serum, suited to the differ
ences between cholera in hogs and in
poultry.
Inability to get diseased fowls to
operate upon is retarding the prog
ress of experiments now being con-
Quoted to investigate this question.
Mr.. Jacoby and Doctor Stouder wish
to communicate with owners of flocks
where the disease has started. The
only fowls received up to the present
died in transit. Few fowls live more
than three days after contracting the
disease. If they are not started to
the college in the early stages of the
disease they are likely to arrive in a
worthless condition for the experi-
ment

day Is gone when sailors in from

Yet whales are still pursued and
the pursuit is not all by steamers

know from the stories they told and
the observations they made that the
old-time whalers beheld merit and
honor in such way to death. They

WHY LOANS ARE NOT LENT
Nowadays the Exchange Is Not to Re-
lieve the Necessitous and the
Improvident.
THREE

Why is 1t banking houses always

never by any chance lend" them?
Lend" is the true verb, while loan"
was exclusively the noun. How came
1t about that ito loan" has uniformly
supplanted ito lend?"
The purists make great fuss about
this. They insist that the stupid and
untaught financial world has foisted
upon the language a substantive verb
when no new verb was needed; when
the ancient and established usage was
fixed in the signification of ito lend"
But prior to the modern development
of business enterprise, when money
was lent it was bestowed upon the
borrower either for temporary use
without compensation, as mark OF
favor or patronage. or by the profess
sional money lender who, taking ad-
vantage of persons in extremities OF
need, demanded usurious interest.
This Anglo-Saxon verb today retains
It's ancient cOnnotation. When 1t was
coined the productive powers OF money
were unknown, and the wealth of rich
men was locked up for safety and
kept out of the channels of commerce.
Nowadays, by devices of credit and
rapid INSTRUMENTATION, 1t Is kept
constantly working In productive en-
terprises. Immense loans are made,
no longer to relieve the necessitous
and the improvident, but to stimulate
industry and to enable the borrower
as we'll as the loaner to reap a profit
in his transactions. Money ts
LOANED" in this sense. 1t Is not lent.

FAIRY TALES FOR CHILDREN
Lady Tenant Argues Little Once
Need Sustenance for Ths'r
Thoughts and Fancies.

Let children have fairy tales"
urges Lady Tenant in the London
Times, on the ground that early child
hood does not need instruction SO
much as shape and sustenance for its
own thoughts and fancies. 1t is
through the old stories and the works
OF great writer's, she thinks, that chill
dren can best be put in possession OF
the freedom, which, In the words of
Jean Paul Richter, makes them citi-
zens of the divine city of Romance.
Reading aloud to children she re-
CARDS as Of far-rea ching Importance.
There is the instance of child of
five years who has been hearing with
absorbing interest the story of Jo-
seph and his brethren. Some days
after he was telling his mother story
and with glowing eyes he said: And
dreaming, | saw kings throne. and
the kings servant standing beside the
throne" 1t was not difficult to trace
the source of the impression that had
led him to clothe his thoughts in
such language.
Let the children have the old books
read to them. There will come days
when they will prefer to read an ex-
cellent modern detective story, or to
buy magazine. We must remind our
selves that possibly they would be
prigs If they did otherwise; nor
should we. think on any account
check reading of any kind But in the
early days when they are still being
read to. when they are so young that
1t lies in the mothers choice what
they shall be hearing. then, say. let
them hear the old books. or. If the
choice fall on books of later date. let
them be the works of great writer's.

Just listened to a fine performance of

from an orator must feel that to
bring ones hands together repeated

method of showing how deeply one
has been affected. But no better
method, as yet, has been devised.
AS a matter of fact, as there are
thoughts that do often lie too deep

reused sometimes by the perform

transcend any possible outward dem

that we are silenced. This result IL
not to be confus ed-as may easily
happen-with a failure in apprecia-
ton. 1t is quite the contrary.
Applause, spontaneous and un-
forced. is a great inspiration to one
who appears in public and through
any medium is attempting to make his
cause prevail or his message heard.
The applause of a hired claque, the
prolonged artificial enthusiasm when
standard bearer is nominated at

ferent matter Applause means moth.
