NO WONDER THEY FAIL.
Elsewhere this week we print a list
grade pupils of the country schools at
the recent examinations held over the
county. These questions are prepared
by the state board and are the same
all over the state. No person will say
that such questions are practical
Then. again, the pupils who are sup
posed to answer them are none OF
them over sixteen years OF age, ana
most of them are nearer fourteen.
Why can't a board be found that viii
ask practical, sensible questions. the
knowledge of which will be OF some
earthly use to the pupils? Hair the
questions prepared by this state board
are about obsolete subjects and are
more in the nature of catch ques-
tons than anything else. More than
half thetaXes raised in Kansas every
year go to the support OF schools. The
taxpayers have a right to demand that
they get something in return for their
money. II is very easy for even the
brightest and best posted to fall down
on the average examination prepared
by this state board. AS a general
thing such boards are composed OF
visionary theorists who have no con-
ception Of the practical side Of lie.

CHAMPIONS
HAVE A CIVIL WAR
Wood, O'Brien and Carrigan
Engage in Prize Fight,
1t Is Reported.
National News Association

FEN'WAY PARK, Boston, Oct. 10
AS the Red Sox took the field this
afternoon for the deciding game of
the greatest worlds series in the his
tory of the national game report
was persistently circulated that trou-
BILE had broken out IN the ranks of the
American league champions. Accord
ing to these reports Woods poor
showing in Tuesdays game was the
result of a knockout blow delivered
the night before by pitcher Buck
O'Brien, following Woods taunts over
the loss of Mondays game, which
O'Brien started to pitch.
According to the story O'Brien went
to Manager Sahl Sunday night and
asked to pitch Monday. Stahl consent
ed despite Woods pleas to work Mon
day and Finish it up" After the game
Wood is said to have gone to O'Brien
and remarked eff it hadn't been for
your bum work we would have had the
series cinched and the money in our
pockets" O'Brien swung his fist on
Woods jaw and Smoky Joe went
down, it is said, and Catcher Carrigan,
who was standing nearby then floored
O'Brien. President James McAleer,
of the Boston Americans denied the
truth of the story today.

Saved Ann a Duckinu.

A colonial shrew who was threat
ened with the ducking stool was once
saved by this plea:
You wish to duck Ann Willott to
cure herr her defender declared. Now.
if she be not cured where is the gain
in ducking her? And If she be cured
all the women who now keep q guard
over their tongues through distaste to
be Ekened TO such a known, notorious
and contemplate seold az Ann viii do
so no longer; but, although it is not
like any should become such as she.
yet all will scold a little more than
now they do. the check Of her exam
pie being removed. Now. it Is better
that Ann, being a single woman with
out family to atfiict, should so unpun-
ished and unducked. but despised by
all. and wag her tongue az she will.
standing therein for the whole town.
than that she should be silenced and
the tongues of other women run more
free"
This argument seems to have pre-
vailed. for Ann Willott was never
ducked

CHRISTIAN BOARDS
BEGAN SESSIONS
International Convention of
Disciples of Christ Meets
at Louisville.
Members of the Christian church

Members of the Christian church
are interested in the controversy
which is waging in the international
convention of the Christian church at
Louisville, KY, regarding the unifica-
ton of the different missionary boards
and the changing of the annual con-
ventions to delegate bodies. At pres
ent the conventions are mass meeting
in which any member of the church
has the right to speak and vote.
The Rev. S. w. Traum, pastor of the
First Christian church, who is report
ing the proceedings of the convention
for Cincinnati religious journal, is
opposed to the change, believing that
it will concentrate power into the
hands of few men and thus destroy
the spirit and form of the Christian
church.
Mrs. J. A. Walls and Miss Margaret
Winsor, of the local Christian church,
left for Louisville today to attend the
meeting, and DR.. J. A. Walls will
leave tomorrow.
The Rev. A. B. Philputt, of Indiana
polls, is one Hoosier whose part of
the program will command great at
tention and interest. AS chairman of a
committee of seven, appointed several
years ago, DR.. Philputt will submit a
report which will favor the unifcation
of the different missionary boards
and the making of the annual conven-
tons delegate conventions.
Opposition has developed to this
plan and discussion Of DR.. Philputt's
report is expected. DR.. Philputt will
speak Wednesday afternoon at the
session of the brotherhood.
Board Meeting Held.
The annual board meeting of the
Christian Woman's Board of Missions
was held last night at the Warren Me
mortal Presbyterian church Routine
business was transacted and the board
was in session this afternoon.
The convention sessions today were
in the interest of the Christian Won
corresponding secretary; Miss Judson
treasurer, and Miss Pounds, Young
Peoples superintendent, all of Indiana
polls, submitted their annual reports.

man of the Publicity Committee of the
City Mission Board of Toronto, the
Canadian delegates to the convention

pies has not been held in Canada.

CHINESE ART.
Materials the Painter Uses and His
Methods of Work.

Materials the Painter Uses and His
Methods of Work.
Chinese painting Is very frequently
say. closely allied to or derived from
handwriting. Inasmuch as Chinese
handwriting is brush work of a high
order, it follows that every Chinese
who can write we'll has the making OF
q skilled mechanical artist In black
and white. He has fine delicacy and
flexibility Of touch. so that If he pos
sesses any bent for transferring to pa
per representations of objects of ma
ture or the imagination, he would be
expected to produce work having a
special character.
The nature Of the material used
such as slightly absorbent paper and
sized silk and thin water color. also
leads to work having a special charac
ter. A member of any western race
would have great difficulty in painting
a picture on kind of blotting paper
with a Chinese pen filed with thin
watery pigment. These characters,
however. give the Chinese painting it's
chief charm. Birds and flowers and
landscapes and figures are put In once
and for all with no possibility of sub
sequent touching up.
They are painted with unerring
strokes Of the brush, and the result Is
clean. vigorous and living picture.
The Chinese artist, as a rule. spends
long time thinking out his picture
and then rapidly dashes it in.-Chica-
go News.

THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
Care With Which 1t Is Guarded From
Fire and Thieves.

Fire and Thieves.
It is very doubtful whether the Brit
ish museum could ever be burned
down. 1t is more likely to be swamped
first. There is enough water stored
there in tanks to last for many days
continuous pumping in case by any
chance the ordinary supply gave out.
Every policeman on the premises,
too, is also a fireman, being especially
trained before he takes up his duties
There is not a nook or corner in the
remotest part of the building which
could not be deluged in two minutes
it necessity arose.
Not only is there little chance of the
museum itself being burned down, but
also any building near it. for that mat
ter. for the museum looks after them.
too, hardly less carefully.
Thieves have just about as much
chance as fire has. Immediately after
closing every gallery and every room
in the building is gone through. search
ed and locked up. and then the whole
process is repeated again an hour lat
er, this precaution being directed
against fire rather than thieves.
1t is a full hours hard work merely
to lock or unlock all the doors in the

COFFEE BERRIES.
Round Kernels Are Stronger and Rich.
49, Than Flat 0ras

Round Kernels Are Stronger and Rich
or Than Flat Ones.
Everybody is more or less familiar
with the term male berry" applied to
coffee. The term refers to the form
and style, not the sex.
An examination of any kind of coffee
win show that about one kernel In ev-
cry twenty-five is quite round. like a
bean. while all the others are fat on
one side. like the half of split bean.
These round or male berries are always
found on the young. vigorous, new
wood Of the previous years growth at
the end of the branches
The old wood produces fat berries
only. Each pod" or fruit of the coffee
tree contains either two common fat
berries or but one round one. The
substance OF the fruit in the one case
Rll goes into the single male berry, and
in the other it Is divided among two
Gat ones.
This undoubtedly accounts for the
greater strength and richness of the
male berry. In private plantations,
where the trees are carefully pruned
and cared for and the ground well cul-
tyated and fertilized. the coffee Is al.
ways OF finer quality and the proper
ton of male berries is larger.
The round berries may be seen in all
kinds of coffee, Rio, Ceylon. Maracaibo
Mocha and other varieties contain
them as well as the Java--Exchange.

Chinese ComcIexions.

A French writer has given In La
Fresse Medicale the results Of his OBJ
servations on massage in China. He
remarks that the exquisite complexion
of the young Chinese women is due
not to enameIing. as has been sus-
pected. but to careful manipulation Of
the face done by expert masseuses
They begin by gentle pinching Of the
cheeks between the tips Of their fin
gers, which lasts fully ten minutes.
then apply lotions on absorbent cotton.
then an unguent and finish by knead-
ing the cheeks with an extreme deli
cacy OF touch, always proceeding from
the nose and commissures OF the lips
toward the ears This Is a harmless
and physiologically correct process
which can be recommended in cases,
rarer than they should be. where the
physician Is consulted concerning q
faded or otherwise unnttractive com
plexion.

Tavern and Loan Office.

The time honored London tavern,
the Castle, at Cowcross and Earring
don streets. enjoys the unique dis
tinction of being also a fully licensed
pledge shop. Any one may here nego-
tiate a loan upon his personal belong
ings without being under the necessi-
ty of first calling for refreshments.
This strange combination of business
dates from the reign of George w..
who. after attending a cockfight at
Hockey in-the-Hole. applied to the
landlord of the Castle for temporary
on the security Of his
watch and chain, By royal warrant
a few days later he invested that
obliging boniface with the right of ad-
vancing money on pledges, and from
that time down to the present a pawn
brokers' license has been annually
granted to the Castle. This hostelry
Is mentioned once or twice by Dickens

her for a long time, says writer in
the Philadelphia Ledger, grew impa-
tent at the slow progress she was
making and made complaint to her
doctor, who said:

this throat trouble unless you stop

HAD RESTFUL NIGHT.

CHICAGO, Oct 16.-After restful
might Col. Theodore Roosevelt, suffer
Iing from a bullet wound inflicted by a
Lwould-be assassin. woke at $40
O'Clock this morning.
Il feel fine" was his greeting to the
might nurse, Miss Margaret Fitzgerald.
The Colonel had been sleeping since
t3:16 o'clock.
When he awoke his temperature was
,e8.6-normal; his respiration 20 and
his pulse, "A.
The colonel slept peacefully most of
esnight He awakened about 2 o'clock
and asked for book. Explaining to
Nurse Fitzgerald that he had always
been a light sleeper, he switched on
his light and began to read. Shortly
Saying that he felt drowsy. A few min
ntes later he was sleeping.
His physicians visited him frequent
BY during the night They were great
BY pleased at his condition. The col
bnel, they said slept naturally showing
mo signs of the fever dreaded as the
sign of possible infection from his
wound. Only once during the night
was there an increase in temperature
and that was only one degree above
normal. 1t quickly subsidized.
PIeases The Doctors.
The colonel's condition when he
awoke this morning was exceptionally
pleasing to the doctors. With pulse
temperature and respiration normal
they believe that danger of infection
is virtually passed. Every precaution
however, will be maintained through
out the day. If infection develops it is
expected to manifest itself by tonight
To be absolutely on the safe side
the doctors last night injected anti
toxine serum to guard against lock-
Jaw. This, they say, may have &C.
counted for the slight increase in tenn
perature.
With the physicians who have been
attending the colonel here he made a
careful comparison of the plates made
yesterday morning after the patient
had been taken to Mercy hospital. 1t
was discovered that the bullet had not
shifted it's position since the first
plates were made and this was con-
sidered very favorable sign by the
doctors.
Unless the bullet causes irritation
operation for the time at least will be
abandoned and 1t is possible that Col
Roosevelt may carry the bit of lead for
the rest of his life.
AS soon as the colonel was fully
awake this morning he was given a
sponge bath. After that he said he was
hungry. The sleep and the bath he
said. both helped his appetite
THAT last sleep had and this bath
have given me a craving for some
thing more than I can get here" he
told the nurse. But if you will jury
hurry some breakfast it will do for
the time being"
Miss Fitzgerald ordered eggs, bacon,
tea and buttered toast for the colonel.
