EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

I wonder if there is a person in my
audience who owns any books at all
who has never in his life lost a book
by loaning it to some one who com
pletely omitted the little ceremony Of
returning it.
1 doubt 1t.
1 wonder also if there are very many
people in my audience who could hold
haven't book in my possession which
I have keut longer than should have"
Again 1 am a doubter.
The cheerful latitude which many
people allow themselves on the subject
of borrowed articles-especially books
is really almost amusing.
1 was at the home of a friend the
other day when she was giving it's an
nual spring overhauling to her library.
In the course of this upheaval she
came upon a volume which she had
borrowed II years ago.
She was greatly astonished at find
ing it.

despite our belief in a better and hap

pie who are dead as poor So-and-

it back on the shelf with sigh that

for her own culpability in the matter

matters q very conscientious woman.
OF course the man who has two or
three books in his library which he
borrowed so long ago that he actually
doesn't know where they came from.

SPLENDIDLY RENDERED.
Recital by Miss Walters Pupil Reveals
Remarkable Talent and Training.

Miss Ethel Barnes, pupil of Miss
Brunette Walter of the Kissing con-
servatory, gave her certificate recital
Tuesday night at the First Baptist
church before a large and apprecia-
tive audience. The program began
with an inIpr esSive German song, 1.-THE
Grave" from the German. with the
who played thesviolin accompaniment.
Miss Barnes, whose voice has a
marked sympathetic quality, rendered
the piece with taste and feeling. A
group of short lyrics followed, show
ing the range of the soloist's voice,
from the low and middle-voice tones
in 1.-THE orphan" to the higher regis
ter of tones in Schubert's serenade.
The most difficult Of the numbers sung
was an aria from Lucia di Hammer
moor. This famous aria, which is
sung by the prima donnas of the
and its execution by student whose
performance is as creditab1e as that
of Miss Barnes is praiseworthy &C
comp1ishment. Two German songs,
''Lehn Define Wang" and 'Liebes-
frage," the latter by Professor Kissing,
and selection from the italian
"Ernani' constituted the foreign num-
berst of the program. Presentation of
the certificate was made by Mr.. M c.
Holman Miss Beulah Wentworth. a
pupil Of Professor Kissing, played a
violin concerto by DeBertot. Miss
Wentworth is one Of the advanced vio-
lin students of the conservatory. Her
technique is excellent and she plays
Understandings as well. The last
number on the program was the prison
song from II Trovatore, by Miss
Barnes and Mr.. Frank Robbins. The
number was satisfactorily given, and
the tenor part was especially strong.
About three hundred people attended
the concert

The young son of a Topeka banker
made the announcement yesterday to
some of his playfellows that there
were two babies at his house, one for

question portend, and was it n
prophecy, or a simple conspiracy on
the part of his neighbors to convince
him that really misfortunes do not
come singly. However. the next morn

presented with wee new daughter

THE DUTY OF A MOTHER

AVOID HARSH DRUGS
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause Injury
to The Bowels.

If YOU are subject to constipation,
YOU should avoid strong drugs and ca
thartics. They only give temporary re-
lief and their reaction is harmful and
sometimes more annoying than consti-
nation. They in no way effect a cure
and their tendency is to weaken the al
ready weak organs with which they
come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have the
best constipation treatment ever de-
vised. Our faith in it is so strong that
we sell it on the positive guarantee that

Where are the preseryers OF yes
terday,
The winds have blown them all

Well may those interested ask
what has become of all the loyal
defenders OF the bones Of their
ancestors? Where are those who
rose up so Loyalty to preserve these
same bones from the awful sacrilege
contemplated by the MasOns Of this
city, Where the distinguished
jurist from Richmond? Where IN
ladies' whose facile pens pictured so
wildly the proposed dissertation?
Are they and the others. who. af-
ter grossly neglecting the graves
Of their ancestors for long years,
who sat content while the last rest
ing place Of distinguished men fell
into ruin, satisfied now with the
result OF their work? Was il SIM
ply 10 prevent the building OF me-
mortal temple TO dead Mason on
a portion Of the cemetery lot, own
ed BY the Masonic Lodge that
prompted the frantic appeals OF
these so-called preseryers of the
old burying ground Was 1t sim
ply to prevent this and to prevent
the sacred Refinement in another
portion of the same cemetery
of remains of the dead who sleep
there and the consequent marking
and care of the graves, which would
have followed, that these appeals
were made or was it simply a de-
sire to pose before the public as
the opponents of the alleged sac
rilege which the Masons, in their
opinion. were about to commit!
What have they done since the
controversy was decided their way
by the Masonic Lodge? Nothing ao-
solutely nothing
Forgotten again are the graves of
their ancestors; forgotten the graves
of soldiers and citizens of whom
we heard so much; all forgotten
since their object was accomplished.
We were told that unlimited
funds were ready for a legal fight;
evidently a clear case of millions Tor
a law suit. but not a cent for the
preservation Of the graves. On, but
they say the Masonic Lodge should
keep these graves up. Not so. IN
lodge owns the ground, it is true
but when it granted to the families
OF those inferred in the cemeter,
the privilege of burying their dead
within the confines of the Gem
etery It did not bind itself legally
or morally to keep these graves IN
repair. This obligation is clearly o
the shoulders of the families OF the
dead. How well they have tuliliieo
II can best be seen by looking 81
the graves.
How ridiculous and meddlesome
how officious and insincere were
their vaporings of a few months
ago can best be judged by what the.
have done, or rather what they
/ haven't done since.
