REFLECTIONS on LUXURY.

Room and bath, food, clothes, a news

newspaper already. In this country, at
least, there are enough newspapers to
go around, and in the cities any one
who declines to buy one can supply
himself out Of the first ash barrel.
There is nothing so cheap as news
papers, and that is a consequence of
the pressi e of commodities on the
market The advertiser pays all but a
cents worth of the cost of the news
paper, and would gladly pay that. no
doubt but for the fear of arousing the
readers suspicious. How much this
has to do with the fact that I hear of
likely young men who come out of
the nurseri~s of learning and look
wistfully at the newspapers and fail to
see attractive jobs on them and go
away and do something else I don't

Convention OF Hens

Never before in the history of the
hen has there been such furore of in
terest aroused in her as is now sweep
ing the country, as a result of the big
national egg-laying contest, which. IS
soon to be held at the Missouri poultry
experiment station in this city.
Not only has this interest been
aroused in the novelty of such a con
test, but because its final outcome
means more to the progressive poultry
interests Of this country than anything
ever before attempted in the way IF a
practical demonstration. 1t has for its
principal object the ascertaininG of
such vital facts as will be brought out
during this unique undertaking.
Much interest has been aroused over
the country by the recent establish
ment of such an institution as this. Il
being the only exclusive poultry expeti-
ment station in the world owned and
operated by a state.
Now that such project as a national
egg-laying contest has been fnaug1r-
ated at the very opening of this ms .itu
ton, it is no surprise that poultry
raisers everywhere are looking their
favorite flocks over, with this project
fairly upon their mind.-Mounfain

In the silver trail there's a sail tonight.
And ship stands in from the far sea
line
shape that never is seen by day,
In mist enShrouded and veiIed in spray,
Bearing no store OF mart or mine.
Out of the heaven of hearts desire
Many a year she's overdue;
Dreams forgotten and visions old,
Warnings barters away for gold,
These are the wares she brings to you
Spoil of the lands of long ago,
Treasure of years when the heart was
young
Tears she bringeth and childish woe,
Wistful longing and kiss of snow,
The hope untold and the song unsung.
You never shall hear her anchor chains.
Nor ever the sound of her flapping sail:
Yet eyes that are weary, and old, and
dim.
Have seen her far on the ocean rim
Sailing across the silver trail.

4 HARD FTGHT WE'LL WoN.

Only three houses in the entire city
are under quarantine against small
pox In these three houses there are
four persons who are we'll on the road
to recovery from the ravages of the
disease. It is expected that the quar-
antine against three of these persons
will be raised by the end of the week.
That will leave just one house in the
whole city under quarantine. At the
pest house there are four smallpox pa
tients. One of these will be released
by the end of the week, possibly two.
Such is the present score in the bat
tie that has been fought by Topeka
against the smallpox epidemic on the
East side which was assuming alarm
ing proportions a couple of months
ago. Practically speaking, this epi-
demic has been wiped out. The fight
against the dread scourge has been
won. There should be rejoicing ac-
cordingly throughout the city and
nothing but words of praise for Com
missioner Stotts, in charge of the city
sanitary department, for the other city
commissioners who stood Loyalty by
him in placing an effective and rig
Orous quarantine on the infected dis
tricts, for DR.. Narcotic. the special
city physician, who did yeoman's serV-
ice. and for DR.. Stewart, the new city
physician for the assistance he has
given since he has been in Office.
These men may well look with par
donable pride on their accomplish
ments. They were confronted with a
hard proposition. Only the stern meas
ures that they took and the untiring
energy they displayed in handling the
situation saved Topeka from a small
pox epidemic of large proportions.
They rose like heroes to the task be-
fore them. The results are the only
testimony that is needed of their cap
abilities and their efficiency. Just how
capable and efficient they were can
be realized by the fact that the cpl
demic was practically confined to
three small centers on the East side.
Not only has this successful fight
against the smallpox epidemic been
great thing for Topekans. It has also
been of advantage to the whole state
of Kansas. In proportion to the popu-
lation, there is more smallpox annual
ly in Kansas than in any other state
in the union. There is no telling when
or where a serious epidemic of the dis
ease may develop. But it has been
demonstrated by the officials of To-
peka that such an epidemic can be
handled and suppressed if reasonable |
and vigorous measures against it are
taken. This is an object lesson that |
ought to be of value to the entire /
state.
