+ Noble father
For six hundred dollars will sell you

it. 1 do it for love and affection"
He didn't take me out to show me the
land but I made an inquiry or two and
found that 1t was a swamp. The next
day 1 paid over the money.

not slick and smooth enough for my
adopted papa. The Judge returns to the
village and to me and says
My son, I told you to hold that land

owned it only a few days, and yet you
have made 5000 on it..
How, father"
Because you are going to sell to me

He paid me the cash and took his deed,
but the stranger who was there had van

morals of those who stop with met"
do drummers ever stop here?" I
asked after a coughing fit.

"You must warn me when any of
them shows up. 1 should not get over
it if I was inveigled into a game of
poker. 1 have a very tender con-
science, you see."

Next day when had deposited 500
in the village bank my standing in the
community was way above par.
After three or four days 1 happened
to discover the landlord and a bland
and corpulent citizen with their
heads together, and that evening 1
was introduced to the big man of the
village.
He babe me welcome in a most eff
fusive way.
He had heard that my moral char
acter was above reproach, and he felt
that the village was honored by my
presence.
Did 1 wish to attend church services
On the following Sabbath he would
call for me and seat me in his pew.
He was attracted to me because 1
looked like his only son, who was
killed in the California earthquake.
Would I let him look upon me in the
light of an adopted son
would. I had been looking around
for father to adopt for the last year.
Thanks.
Don't mention il.
He drank alone because he did not
want to corrupt my young morals. For
the same reason he did not offer me
a cigar.
But Mr.. Bolton made up for it CIV
ing me his confidence. He had felt
from the very first glance into my face
that he could do this.

FAVOR new Line
Topeka Railway May Go to
Gage Park in Spring.
President Mckinley and Vice
President Chubbuck Here.

w. B. Mckinley, president of the 1ln-
nois Traction company-the corpora
ton that owns the Topeka Railway
company-accompanied by H. E. Club
buck, vice president and general man
ager of the company, visited Topeka Tor
a few hours this morning on an IN
spection tour of the electric lines owned
by this company. While in Topeka, the
president and vice president made
trip over the proposed extension OF the
Topeka railway to Gage park, and it Is
understood that both President Mck1n-
ley and Vice President Chubbuck favor
the extension next year.
The Topeka Railway company for
some time has been planning to extend
its West Eighth avenue line out to the
city limits, thence to the entrance of
Gage park. The city, the Commercial
club and several municipal organiza-
tions have been petitioning the company
to build to Gage park for the last two
years. The inspection trip made by the
president and vice president of the con-
trolling company this morning is the
most favorable sign received by To-
pekans.
Albert NJ. Patten, general superinten-
dent of the Topeka and Wichita Rail
way companies, took the two Illinois
Traction company officials on the in
spection trip over the city.
w. B. Mckinley, who has served his
state a number of years as congress-
man and has been at the head of Pres
ident Taft's campaign, was defeated at
the general election Tuesday. Con-
gresham Mckinley accompanied by
other Standpatters went down with the
G. o. p. gracefully.
THE vote was close" he said in To-
peka this morning. But it wasn't
close enough to give me the election.
The Illinois Traction company Off
Gals found the Topeka railway proper
ty in excellent shape. General Super
intendent Patten took the party over
the city over the entire system in
motor car. After hasty lunch they
left this noon for Wichita where a
similar inspection will be made.

The United States produced apples
in the year 1909 to the value of $685.
231, 900. Figures prepared by the
Federal Census Bureau, however, show
that the quantity of apples grown in
1909 was smaller than the crop of ten
years previously.
At the census Of 1900 there were re-
ported POI, 794, 900 apple trees of bear
ing age, but at the census of 1901 the
number was Isl, 900 trees, de-
crease of 1874 per cent. Only 46.S per
cent of the farms in the country re-
ported apple orchards in 1910. This
is indicative OF the fact that many
farm owners are Indifferent to the
apple as source of income.
In 1910 three States, Missouri, New
York and Illinois, reported nearly %
per cent of all the apple trees of bear
ing age in the United States. 1t is
strange to say that in all these States
the number of trees had decreased
largely as compared with the census Of
1900. In Missouri and New York,
however, there was a gain in the pro-
duction of Apples. In Illinois there
was heavy slump. Pennsylvania
and Michigan reported fewer trees
than Missouri or Illinois, but each
produced greater quantity of apples.

Woman now has, or should have,
the right to govern her own home.
The right to vote is insignificant when
compared to this. She must be it's
mistress, but never its slave. That
she has made it immaculate in clean
illness and resplendent in beauty is not
enough. She must feed the love and
truth which should unitedly govern it.
What power or dignity can reach high
er? What is the ability to sway large
audiences over a home with such skill
that husband and children shall rise up
and call her blessed? To be the ruling
spirit in such position is more sac
red honor than to rule an empire.
"Woman's rights" Has man any
higher or more noble2 And when
husband and wife see eye to eye and
heart to heart one in the interests of
home, they have reached as near per-
lection as we are allowed to hope for
while on earth.

Il is very important for the comfort
of home that harassing and depress-
ing subjects of conversation should be
excluded, except when it is absolutely
necessary to talk about them; and that
a habit should be formed of talking
cheerfully and good humoredly, and of
refraining from what jars on other
people, such as rudeness, impotence
and fault-hnding.

"T'he old woman" A nice phrase
to be using about the dear soul who
kept her vigil over you in your in
fancy, kissed away your tears in child
hood and remaining your trusted friend
in maturity. Is this al! the love you
have for the silver haired mother
who bathed your scorching brow all
through the long sleepless nights of
affection, when your brain was wild
with burning fever? Is there no other
term you can find for her whose love
has followed you through every trial,
tribulation and misfortune OF your life?
Has mother, through all these years of
labor, watching and waiting, been
wasting her love on worthless bunch
of clay, who, il the rosy dawn OF man
hood has no other term more fitting
than "the old woman" by which to adj
dress or speak of his mother?

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.

True happiness lies not in doing for
ourselves alone, but in the perform
ance of every duty that will anchor
ate the condition of mankind in gener-
al. 1t seems to have been part of the
Divine plan to put nan into the world
in such condition that from his birth
to his grave he is dependent on some
one. When we look around us we see
our every interest interlocked and
lives and hearts overlap each other to
such an extent that we cannot live in
happiness unless we possess some de-
gree of benevolence, and were it not
for this Divine plan the pathway of
many would be cherries indeed. When
we consider the fraility of human life
and the common lot of all, we often
wonder AT the indifference of some to
attain that greater happiness and
nobler life, which can only be found in
the golden text, $40 unto others as
you wish to be done by"

The poorest girls in the world are
those not taught to work. There are
thousands of them. Rich parents have
petted them, and they have been
taught to despise labor and to depend
upon others for a living, and are per-

men belong to this class. 1t is the duty
of parents to protect their daughters
