A breakfast"
IN And do you know Why" quickly asked his wife.
~ mo special reason, l suppose" replied the husband bIankty Just
because you didn't van to get up"
Not ata ALL she answered pleasantly. 1T is because came first to tho
newspaper breakfast"
To his credit be 1t said, he saw the point and the justice of #. But she
had to tell him. He thought he had a perfect right ito iuhict the newspaper
she inflicted the wifeless breakfast O. him.
Sometime g a wentknown man writer said he didn't think women
we're fit to vote while they wore hatpins that projected several inches beyond
the brims of their hats and endangered all those who came near them
Whereat a wellknoWn woman writer replied that II this held good, men
weren't fit to vOtew who threw lighted matches around in public places where
they were liable to set fire to womens dresses.
Both or these Instances g to show that the spirit of the times Is
changing, What is sauce for the goose is becoming sauce for the gander
Once upon a time a woman would have meekly endured the newspaper
breakfast nd done nothing believing, OF at any rate If she didn't really
believe, pretending to, that whatever administered to her lord and masrs
comfort IA the proper sateo Of affairs She would have u off her hatpins,
or tied her hat N, had a law beer passed to that effect, and though she
might have looked al the lighted match and had her own private thoughts
about it, she would never have lifted her voice publicly upon the subject.
Neither the wifeess no the newspaper breakfast is to be commended,
nor the overriding hatptn, nor the lighted match. But the result that is
working ut of tbs new condition of things is that all of them will be aboL
ished. Under the new order the la must reform his unpleasant habits as
we'll as the woman And surely, to all rghtthinktng people, this is the
better way. 1t may be very complimentary for women to be legislated into be
Ing angels, because prforce they have n o voice in the making If the laws
which they must obey But they have com % the time when they think a
little legislation for men, " m n other than men,, will be good for the
masculine side ofc creation. And the world will certainly be more symmetrical
and better managed when this ONES to pass.
SO If women who wear too long hatpns are not fit o vote, neither are
mn who reeklessly toss about lighted matches. And If laws are passed fning
the woman whose hatpin is legally too long, so should laws be passed imposing
a fine on the AN who throws away a lighted match. And from the spirit
that brings a moree quable adjustment of these things, will ome a better

Altogether the cap is as charmingly dainty

susceptible of variation, for in place Of
the hand embroidery, bands of the ma

with thin or with any preferred banding.
Indeed, while the cap is a very simple
one, it can be treated in a number OF
different ways. Very thin batiste or
lawn over a colored lining makes a pretty
effect, and thin washable silks are used
a. well as linen and cotton fabrics. The

Presently his head dropped forward
on his arms, knocking his cap into
space, and jabbing Celia between the
shoulder blades.
She turned suddenly, relaxing her
hold on the wheel.
'Why, Gimp she gasped, but the
machine dipped perilously and she
was right-about face instantly, all
her faculties on the alert.
Brooke Strengthened himself reso-
lutely. "1'm-I-can't we-go back,

Brooke clinched his teeth and shut
his eyes as he felt the machine settle
earthward. In q surprisingly short
time the swallow-like swoop was over
and he realized that the world had
come to rest. He opened his eyes
again and found himself in a pleas
ant meadow. Not far away, behind
a clump of trees, he saw a house, but
the foreground was occupied by Ce-
liza, who stared commiseratingly at
him.

He threw himself down on the

toward the house behind the trees.

Suddenly a wild scream startled

He sprang to his feet and sprinted

making a touchdown and beheld &C.

Advance Of Farm Values.

huVuuOO W Nv w 'utuCos
The United States Census bulle-
tins have contained some interest
ing figures showing the increase in
land values throughout the United
States. These values are increas-
ing in Kentucky as elsewhere.
An illustration comes from Hop
kinsville, which is located in a
splendidly productive farming re-
gion. A man who is well posted
in real estate prepared from men,
ory list of farm land transfers
made in Christian county within
the last two years. The list, of
course, was not complete, but the
transfers aggregated $3.50, 900 and
in the entire number there was no
single instance where farm was
sold at loss. On the other hand
good profits we're made in every
sale. AS some notable examples
the Hopkinsville New Era points
the following:
u. G.. johnson sold his farm
near Longview to G. L. Morgan.
Mr.. johnson moved to town and
bought the Dietrich place on
South Walnut street and some
time later also bought the Lee FL
lis farm of 400 acres about four
miles from town. Mr.. Morgan
moved to the farm he had but
lived there only about two years,
as he sold it short time since at
a profit of $1,000. In turn Mr..
johnson has been offered and has
refused profit of $4,000 on the
Ellis farm which he bought.
Twelve years ago Ward Claggett
bought a farm of 1875 acres near
town on the Cox Mill road. He
worked it we'll and it not only
made him a living but a comfort
able sum each year in addition.
A few weeks ago he sold this
farm for $4,000, which repre-
sents a profit over the original
cost of right at $4,000. In an
other instance a large farm was
sold to one party for SIT 500, and
pessimists wagged their heads
when the price was mentioned.
But that the purchaser knew what
he was about was clearly shown
later when he sold it for 1913, 500.
Even this was not the limit, for
the second man has now sold for
$25, 800. Similar to this case was
that in which a comparatively
small farm was sold for Sc, $50.
1t was not long until a second
transfer of the place was made,
and this time the consideration
was $3.50. At the third sale the
the price paid for the farm was an
even 10000"
Similar concrete examples OF
rising values of farm lands may be
found in any county in Kentucky
where there is good agricultural
soil-and there is no county in the
State that is absolutely lacking in
that particular. The man who
stays 'close to the soil" in his in
vestments is taking no desperate
chances. If he may not get rich
with the speed of frenzied tinan-
cier neither is he likely to get poor
with amazing and disconcerting
suddenness.

The Age of Miracles.

A builder OF aeroplaneS, who
was at that time flyer of them,
stood with another flyer on an
island in New York Harbor look
ing at the wind. They saw the
flag on the Singer Tower standing
straight out, and one of them, with
shake of his head, remarked:
: when the flags are flying, we
birdmen keep the ground" Forth
with he folded his aeroplane and
left the island. The other, await
ing a more favorable day, tried to
visit the Statue of Liberty and
Grants Tomb. His aeroplane was
fit to fly over land, but drop into
the water would have meant its
loss. Wilbur Wright, to prevent
this, made his way to Broadway
store, where he purchased from a
gaping salesman an ordinary river
canoe. Thousands who witnessed
Wright's first public flights on the
eastern seaboard recall the canoe
perched below the wings, of his
flyer. Who among the throng
that blackened Brooklyn Heights,
the Battery. and Riverside Park
hazarded a guess as to what a
wedding of airmanship and sea-
manship this first move was to

yond, swan in circles under con-
troll of the same rudder that was
t. operate it when aloft, climbed
ice foes at will, and took the air
as it wished, either from the ice
or from the water. AS it rushed
away over the same stretch of
water above which Wilbur Wright
\ had flown, it sped into the face of
frigid blast. One who watched
from a river tug-boat glanced
southwark through window of
the shippers cabin where he had
sought shelter from the cold, and
noticed the flag on the Singer
tower. 1t was standing straight
out. Wilbur Wright had flown
thirty feet above the river, making
barely twenty-,i- hit miles an hour,
coming only twenty-eight months
afterward, was making fifty miles,
and was five hundred feet up in
the air. The crate from which
this first cousin of the mud hen
had been taken was marked, no one
will be surprised to learn, as COM
ing from Dayton, Ohio, and the
sky-and-sea skipper in charge was
taught to fly by Wilbur himself.
