ECONOMY IN HIGH PRICES
We'll Dressed Man Explains How He Buys Expensive Clothes and
 Wears Them Many Years.

Two well dressed men, at least they were so far as one not thoroughly ex- pert in what good clothes are could judge, were talking about the cost of them.
 q paid $50 for this suit" said the elder man, and"
 Gee whizl" interrupted the young CT, that's too much for me to pay for one suit of clothes. Why, gave only s15 for this suit I have on."
 'sVery nice looking suit, too," ad- mitted the other.
 Tt was marked down from S20,'' the younger confessed, as though desirous of apologizing for wearing a $15 hand me-down. AS far as I can see," he went on with some degree of self-grat- ulation, yours doesn't look to be $65 better
 How long have you worn yours ?" inquired the older
 This is the second year. Two years is as long as wear a suit"
 And this is the eleventh year I've had mine. Of course, I haven't worn it every day, and I have had the tailor keep in good condition, as you see, though this is the last year of it's life, so your SIS suit at s7.50 year is about as extravagant as my s80 suit at $7.30 year. isn't it2 Besides, I've been wearing an sS0 suit from the best tailor in town while you are wearing the s15 hand-me-down picked up wherever you happened to see the reduction sale. I practise economy in all things, and for that reason I wear the best clothes I can buy and look like millionaire if I'm not one"

When She "Primps."

She walks in beauty like the night. as some romantic singer said; her eyes give forth a starry light, her lips are of a cherry red; across the floor she seems to float; she seems to me beyond compare a being perfect-till I note the way. she has done up her hair She must have toiled through half a day to build that large, un- wieldy mass; she must have used a bale of hay, and strips of tin, and wire of brass; her sisters must have helped to braid, her mother wrought and tin kered there, and butler, cook and esambermaid all helped to wrestle with her hair And after all the grinding toll, and all the braiding and the fuss, the one effect IS just to spoil her beauty and make other people cuSs.

Dodson of Cheyenne Canon, tried to pull the dog away, but with out success. When the dog was turn ed aver to veterinary exactly 137 quilln were removed from it's mouth and head.

we'll in her university work
 Although she has travelled all over the United States and has studied for ten years in Europe, Miss Kynaston feels she is not yet educated and de- cided to come to the University of Missouri to take law.
 She is interested in the affairs of the world and has decided opinions un many national issues. It is in the squai suffrage movement, however that Miss Kynaston is chiefly interest ed. T have not yet decided whether l am in favor of womans suffrage or not" she said. q attended a number of suffragette meetings while in Eng land, but have not formed a definite opinion on the question as yet
 "The women of England do not use hat pins in enforcing their arguments, as has been said. They do break up meetings, however, and besiege ban quets which the premier is attending. I do not approve of some of their methods, but I think they have been greatly misrepresented. The move ment is well developed in England, and also in Sweden.
 q have travelled in every European country except Russia. and nowhere except in these two counties did find well developed organization in favor of votes for women.
 My present belief about the ques- tion is that most women could use their time better at home than in politics. h the home a woman has a chance to dominate the politics of the next generation. If she trains her boys well they ought to. be able to vote intelligently and correctly on moral, educational and other issues A woman who owns property, how ever, ought to have some power in the administration of government It would be hard, however, to give votes to some women and not to others"
 Miss Kynaston has crossed the At lantic ocean IA times, Her father, John F. Kynaston, retired business man, sometimes accompanied her abroad, but more often the trips have been made with her mother. She is an only child, and it has been easy to take her to Europe to stay for long periods at a. time. In fact, the young woman has spent over half her life abroad. She has lived over year in England, Germany, Italy and France. She can speak German and French fuently and Swedish and Italian fairly well.
 If she finishes the law course Miss Kynaston will be the second graduate of the university law school. Miss Ma bel Sturtevant was graduated three years ago. For the next two years she travelled abroad, but is now practising law in New York city. Miss Kynaston Is about twenty-one years old, a bru- nette and rather small.

FISH DYNAMITER LOSES ARM
Wounded Youth Lay on River Bank All Night and Was Tempted to
 Drown Self.

Palatile Ark.-As penalty for dy1 namiting fish, Will Harris, son of T. H. Harris, will go through life minus his right arm and blind.
 Harris has for months been in the habit of obtaining fish from the L'An- guile river by use of dynamite. He became dexterous in the handling of the explosive, and then careless. A few days ago, after lighting the fuse, he held the charge in his hand too long. The dynamite exploded, tearing off his right arm below the elbow, and destroying his eyes.
 The desperately wounded young man lay all night on the river bank. suffering intensely. Three times he crawled to the river bank and drank, and each time was sorely tempted to roll into the stream and end his mis- cry.
 The following morning a searching party found Harris and medical treat ment was obtained. Though he lay all night on the banks and blood flow ed from his wounds, he will recover.

lnge from five years to fOrty-three

range from five years to forty-thret years.
 The aggregate sum to be paid witf these limitations would leave $33,54; available for employment of persons who would take the places of the clerks retired. This sum would be enough to eriploy almost as many clerks as would be retired, if the sal aries were fixed at the lower grades that is s1,000 and $1,2OO. However, tc prevent any reduction in the higher clerical grades and consequent over population of the lower clerical grades MT. Chance suggested a provision ir the law directing that the relative ratio of the several clerical grades should be maintained.
 Here was a proposition which in volved no increase of appropriation no undue hardship to the government clerk and would have more than doubled the efficiency in the office Senator Hale of Maine vetoed the idea as he has every other looking to the benefit of the government clerk, and the plan was abandoned. The same system could be pursued no doubt ir every other department of the govern ment. In fact, investigation disclosed another division in the same building where conditions were worse and bet ter results could have been gained than in the auditors division.
 In the past the civil service retire ment idea has suffered in the halls and committee rooms of congress be cause evidence has been adduced to show that the annuity plan would real ly be a money maker for the govern ment instead of a loser. Many con gressmen have declared their opposi ticn to any scheme of retirement that would cost the government money, but they never have been shown that while spending money at first to aid the scheme the government really would be saving as much if not more than it put out. Data covering this point are now being compiled by de partment committees and the account ants who have been called in to sug- gest administrative reforms, and when the matter comes up again the states. men will be shown that civil service retirement, conceived and executed on the right lines, means economy and not extravaganza.
