Hats Denoted Liberty.

In Rome slaves, when they received
their liberty at their masters hanus,
wore cone-shaped felt hats, which
came to be the symbol of liberty.
After the death of Nero the citizens
of Rome wore pointed hats to show
that they were relieved from the op-
preston of tyrant. Later on, when
the Netherlands threw off the Span
lsh yoke, they adopted a hat in the
coat of arms of that nation.

with nitrifying ferments, its filaments
become incased with masses of nj

The BOOK OF JOHN.
CHAPTER XVIII.

BY Theodore Gerald Soares, Phi. D.,
ID. D., Professor of Practical TheoI-
ogy in the University of Chicago.
Gan interesting series of articles on
the Gospel of John written by prom
the request of Rev. Robert Gordon of
the First Baptist church)
The worlds tragedy is in this chap
ter. SeIfishness shows it's true charac-
ter. The useless blow reveals the folly
of inconsiderate effort to right wrongs
The devotion that meets duty and
death with perfect calm is manifest.
The chill. of loneliness strikes terror to
a timid soul. Blind bitterness wreaks
its vengeance careless of consequence.
Stupid officialism reveals its inability
to meet moral crises. And the King,
whose kingdom is moral and spiritual,
speaks the words of eternal truth.
Judas caring for the financial ad-
vantages of the kingdom of God, and
even taking something from the COM
mon purse for himself, may not seem so
dangerous a character. We never know
where selfishness will stop. 1t may be-
come treason and sell its Lord.
Peters fine loyalty always claims our
regard. But earnestness is Of little use
without judgment 1t is no good draw
ing a sword in anger and striking a
blow. The great ills of earth are to be
ended by more careful means-yes, and
more costly.
Jesus knows the cost of salvation. He
has seen it for many months. He has
come to this hour by elaboration. 1.-THE
cup that the Father hath given me,
shall I not drink it?" Nothing could
turn him from the test.
And Jesus deliberate method is soon
indicated against Peters impulse. The
quick angry anita gonism of evil cannot
last. 1t may easily change to fear
when comrades fall away. Jesus stands
before the priests unafraid, but Peter
is in terror in the courtyard.
The priests are the bitter indicators
of vested rights. They are concerned
to keep their little system intact.
What is it to them if new truth has
come, and new hope for men? Innova-

MORRIS IS BETTER.
He and Jim Stewart Meet Again
Wednesday Night.

New York, March 1S.-Probably the
of the month, is scheduled for the
Empire Athletic club Wednesday
night when Carl Morris and Jim
Stewart meet for return match Each
weighs over 200 pounds and they are
billed for ten rounds. These two heav-
les fought three weeks ago in Brook
lyn without a decisive result and the
Empire club hopes to see the question
of superiority decided.
When Morris steps into the ring the
fans will see a greatly improved boxer
This statement has been made before
regarding Morris, but on each occasion
he has appeared in a match since his
memorable fight with Jim Flynn, he
has made good for all the things said
about him.
For fifteen days Morris has been
training hard at the New Polo Athletic
club. He has had for his daily spar
ring partners Leach Cross. Howard
Morrow, Jim Coffey, Ray Simon and
Mike Gibbons. The last named work
ed with Morris before he left for his
trip to his home city of St. Paul. 1t
was Gibbons who taught Morris foot
work and defense, two essentials in
the game that Morris lacked. Coffey
gave him the heavy work and Cross
provided the fistic fireworks.
Stewart has been just as busy pre-
has been training for this bout ever
since the battle in Brooklyn. Stewart
is one of the cleverest heavyweight
boxers in the ring today. In addition
he can hit hard and with great pre-
riSiOu.

TIRINC OF THE STRIKE
Many British Miners Are Expected to
Return to Work.

London, March 1S.-Many of the British
miners now on strike will return to the
pits this week, according to opinion ex-
pressed today. 1t is believed that by
next Monday operations will be in full
swing in many collieries. In spite OF the
strike leaders declaration that there will
be no resumption of work until the mini
mum wages bill for underground workers
has passed through parliament there are
indications that the miners are firing OF
the strike. The loss on the trades union
funds last week including those of the
miners unions, amounted to 81, 10000.
Nine unions alone, exclusive of the min
ers, Saturday paid their members
$450,oOO.
The trades union funds are largely in
vested in bonds the prices of which have
been affected by the strike and this
causes them a further loss.

H. r. Hobbs of 211 Ash street,
Wichita, also well known in Topeka, is
among the many people who have
tested the new tonic, ''Tona Vita
which is making such a remarkable
record here.
In speaking of his experience with
the tonic Mr.. Hobbs said: For a long
time I have been in very poor health
and could not find anything that help
ed me. I felt dull and languid and did
not seem to have enough strength, as
I grew tired easily. My stomach both
cred me a great deal, as seldom ate

nerves were on edge continually and
a sudden noise would make me jump
as if shot.

and am now in as good health as I
ever was in my life. / can now do

believe it is the best stomach and
nerve tonic ever sold in Topeka
would advise anyone with a run
down system to give 'Tona Vita a fair
trial and 1 am sure they will be bene-
fitted by 1t in a few days time"
The sale of the new tonic has in
creased so rapidly that the specialists
who are introducing it have not been
able to get an adequate supply. IN
speaking of this one of the specialists
said: I'VE are sorry to disappoint the
people, as we were forced to do part
of last week, but we could not get
the tonic here fast enough The de-
mand is just as great in other cities as
it is in Topeka, and the. manufacturing
department has been swamped with
orders. We received a big shipment
yesterday and We will not be without
the tonic again during our stay We
will be at the Arnold Drug Company's
Store, No. 52S Kansas Avenue, be-
tween the hours of a. m. and D. M.

CORDON'S INNOVATION
Delivers Address to Children by Aid
of Photograph.

Rev. Robert Gordon, of the First
Baptist church, put the photograph to
good use Sunday when he delivered al
address to children by the aid of a
photograph. DR.. Gordon's address was
as follows:
This wax cylinder can receive i'm
pressions and by aid of the Edison
Business photograph can reproduce
clearly what it has received. AS you
will see this morning, it can make an
accurate record of the human voice
and then reproduce what has been said
your life is like that cylinder; i'm
preSsiOnS are being recorded contlnu-
ally and these will be reproduced in a
more or less modified way in future
days.
There is a diamond pointed needle
or pen under this disk which cuts wavy
grooves on the wax cylinder. That pen
or needle is moved by invisible waves
or vibrations in the ether started by
my vocal chords. Mysterious isn't l..
Yet listen and you VIII hear all 1 have
said reproduced.
Now let me illustrate and apply thus
truth. A little boy got angry and sald
some things he ought not to have SAID.
His words passed through the ear O.
another little boy and made an I'M
preston on that other boys heart, ana
next day that boy used the wicked
words he had heard. A little red Olro
sat on a tree during our last big sno y
storm and sang cheerily while the snow
fell. One of our men saw and heard
it. It made him feel happier just TO
note the little birds cheer. He tod
some of our men about 1t and they
too enjoyed the influence OF that little
red birds song. A little child played
and sang in her home and who!s
family was frightened by that little
girls gladness-
II can stop this machine and prevent
the wax cylinder from recording what
j say but that is not true with regard
to our influence. All we say and 90,
even our very gestures, are making
impressions upon others Nothing we
can do can prevent that The only
thing we can do is to make sure that
in our secret hearts we are seeking 10
live earnestly, hopefully, sincerely, ahG
then we may be sure that whatever
influences from our lives fall upon
others will be helpful
II hope what I have said this morn
ing may be deeply impressed upon the
a1inds of all here today. 1t is an I'M
portant and serious fact that the words
] have spoken into this machine ma
be reproduced 80 years from now OF
long after I have passed away from the
earth So what we say and do, often
1houghtlessly, will go on influencing
others for good or evil, long after we
are dead.
