KANSAS CITY. Mo. Aug. a.
Matrimonial bureaus are mostly
fakes. but today, although not mat
rinonislly bent, paid visit 10 the
most remarkable marriage bureau
in America.
That isl visited the study of the
Rev William j. Dalton. at his
church In this eity--the Church OF
the Annunciation.
Dollars and cents cut no figure
whatever In Father Dalton's Cupid
establishment and that's one i'm.
portant reason why Il In the most
remarkable matrimonial bureau In
America.
Dr. Dalton was peeking AZ me
over a huge stack Of letters when
! stepped inside the door. The en-.
velopes bore postmarks from al.
most every state In the union. All
large cities were represented, and
many had been mailed 10 foreign
countries.
This is my mornings mall" ex-
planned the Father. his eyes
twinkling.
Since ! opened my matrimonial
guild the first Of the year. have
received more than 1000 Of these
letters from men and women In all
parts Of the world who are seeking
helpmates I've had to hire o
stenographer 70 help me answer
them. I'll tell you what all these
heart stories have taught me"
Father Dalton stood MP. He Is
Of medium height, with kindly
face that might mark him as a
banker or physician He speaks
with charming touch Of Irish
brogue. Just approaching his 64th
year, he already has left behind
him 40 years OF service to Kansas
City. To-day they say he knows
more people here than any other
man.
Because the young people OF his
parish we're not marrying fast
enough he started a matrimonial
school the first OF the year. His
classes, which meet once a week 10
listen to him discourse on this CUB
iect, have ranged from so TO 100.
Fifteen engagements have re.
suited in those classes. And the
publicity given to the venture has
made the Fathers study the bust
est matrimonial bureau In the coun-
try. Already he Is able 10 announce
altogether 1903 engagements and
several marriages.

COOP ROADS CONFERENCE.

The officers OF the Iowa Good Roads
Association have thought it to be In
the interest OF the cause OF good
roads that a conference should be
held in Des Moines on December 18th
and 18th Assembly hall. Coliseum,
beginning at II o'clock.
The purpose OF this conference is
to hear reports regarding the pro-
gress of the good roads work in the
state during the past year. And to
discuss suggestions relative to new
legislation to be asked for at the
hands OF the thirty-fifth general as
sembly to convene January 18th. 1t
will be within the province of the
conference to consider and debate
such suggestion as may be made rela-
tive to new legislation.
The Iowa Good Roads Association
was organized for the purpose of pro
noting the Improvement of the dirt
roads OF he state. It is believed now
that the time has arrived to give
some thought and consideration to
the building of permanent roads of
materials other than dirt. Thus the
scope of this association is enlarged
without in the least losing track OF
the original purpose of the associa
[ tons. The program will suggest top
! les relating both to permanent road
| building and earth road improve
ment.
With the new interest in permanent
roads, this association does not pro
pose TO lose that which has already
been gained In the grading and main
tanning of earth roads. We must de
pend upon dirt roads for years Il
/ come. but it is wise to have perma
nent roads constantly in mind.
This call is for a conference Dele
gates win be chosen from the severa
districts representing all the varie,
interests-the land owner, the roa,
officers, the automobile user. editors
d legislators, manufactured all vii
be represented in this conference.
Il The program will be divided int
three main features; suggestions TO
legislation, road construction and Of
ganized roads. The time on the legis
lative program will be conserved t
allow free discussion length

WHAT SANTA DID.
-.-..-------------.

II was the night before Christmas,
and Jacob and Gretchen
Lay snug in their bed IN the Dorn-
hoefer kitchen
Not sound save the song that the
gay cricket sings,
And faint, sleepy murmur, Top
kickin' my shins,"
Could be heard in the Dornhoefer
kitchen that night,
Blu. there by the fire. in the moons
silver light,
In short, struggling row lay four
queer little shoes,
Left there for the jolly Kris Kringle
TO use.
Then suddenly Gretchen sat up with
start
And rubbed Jacobs eyes fyou can't
tell them apart,
Those Dornhoefer twins, in the bright
est daylight,
So how could poor Gretchen be sure
in the night2)
And they laughed as they thought Of
the words Santa d use,
For they'd hidden mouse-trap II
each Of their shoes.
Well. Santa Claus came, and The
mouse-trap went slam.
And Sana said something that sound
ed like sham"
And the moon said she saw just tn,
strangest of things;
Twas Santa Claus spanking the Dorm
foefer twins.
