IT GRINDS FAST.
Does the Divorce BIfIl-Twenty for
November and Ten for December.

The divorce mill still grinds on with
its grist of broken hopes and tears and
signs. In fact it is grinding so fast
that nearly every month that passes
threatens to become a record breaker.
In November there were just score
of divorce suits filed. In December
there have been as many cases as
days so far in the month.
This office would not be able to pay
salaries if it were not for divorce
cases." declared Charles w. Bower.
clerk of the district court. That
sounds pretty bad, but it is a fact
nearly half the cases filed are divorce
cases, and as a rule this class of suits
move faster than any other. I don't
believe in promiscuous divorce, but
the fact that the business makes this
Office force possible remains"
There are few attorneys in Topeka

Farmers There Have Solved
Sociology Questions.
And in Practical Way-They
Built a Big Hall.
TWO MEETINGS A MONTH
One for Social and One for
Business Purposes.
8. s. Convention This Week
Women Fine Cooks.

The social center idea is being agi-
tated in cities by the students of So
GEOLOGY and philanthropy, but the prac-
teal working of such a measure is set
forth in an organization of farmers
north of town who never pretended to
solve the problems of social science or
to go deeply into matters of econo-
mics, Out in the Indian Creek valley
there is a big stone building that the
men of that part of the country paid
for and helped to build with their own
hands. 1t is a model of convenience
OF suitability to the purposes for which
it is used, and of good, simple arcFi-
tecturaI lines and proportions. The
people of the surrounding neighbor-
hoods have organized into a grange"
holding meetings twice each month, one
for social and the other for business
purposes They are reaping the bene-
fits of cooperation in the buying OF
certain products and the saving of the
mfddleman's profits. It has brought
about a united social life and obliter-
ated the lines of neighborhood exclu-
siveness.
A convention Of the Sunday schools
of the township was held in the hall
yesterday, and some three hundred peo-
pie were fed at long tables in the base
ment of the building. at the noon inter-
mission. The fame of the cooks of that
township should be noised abroad; they
should be praised with tabret and harp
and on the loud cymbals. They built
cakes five stories in height; they have
forgotten more ways to cook chicken
than Mrs. Rohrer ever knew; their
table would have made a gormandizer
of the prophet who lived in the wilder
ness on locust and wild honey. After
the dinner a meeting was held in the
upper room of the hall. An orchestra |
of four pieces accompanied a choir of
20 voices The song service was led by !
a preacher, a Rev. ]. B. Giltrow, who |
talks like an English low-church par |
son and leads the singing like an In |
diana revivaIist. DR.. z. s. Pettyjohn |
and Mrs. D. o. Coe, of Topeka, were !
on the program for the afternoon, and |
Mcdonald made a temper |
ance address. In the forenoon the pro-
gram was furnished by Mrs. J. F. Cecil |
who was active in the rural suffrage |
w. A. Forbes, Rev. Giltrow,
and W. s. Robson. The men in the |
gathering discussed fine points of the

The Guest House In Asia Minor.

The guest house is a real institution
in Asia Minor. 1t is sometimes owned
by an individual. but is usually the
common property Of the village. To
this guest house, like the travellers
bungalow in India, every traveller has
a right, but as all have the same
rights one may have more company
than he desires. However, the head
man of the village will usually ar
range matters for the foreign traveller,
and the native guest will often courte-
ously make way for him. In the guest
house is one large room, in one part
of which our horses MUNICH their hay,
with the drivers lying beside them.
while in the other part we spread our
rugs and set up our beds and unlimber
our cooking apparatus. Some guest
houses have two rooms connected by
wide opening, without a door. in one
of which the animals and animal driv-
ers sleep and in the other the pamper-
ed guests from abroad.-Dr. Francis q.

THROWING THE DISCUS.
Methods of the Grecian Athletes u
Homeric Times.

Methods Of the Grecian Athletes In
Homeric Times.
Discus throwing was refined form
of hurling the stone. In Homeric
times, and even at Olympia, a stone or
mass of iron was first used for the
purpose. This was held by a leathern
thong, swung in circle and hurled as
far as possible. A circular or lentic-
ular disk of bronze was used at least
as early as the beginning of the fifth
century.
A standard weight must, of course,
be assumed for the great games. A
discus now in the British museum,
which seems to have been used. weighs
IL pounds ounces, but whether this
was the standard weight or not is not
definitely known.
The thrower took his stand upon n
slight elevation of limited circumfer.
ence, where he could have a secure
foothold and was prevented from run
ming. Then, with a swing of the arm
and a corresponding movement of the
whole body, he hurled the discus as
far as possible.
The value of the body movement
was recognized by the sculptor Myorn
in his famous statue, THE Discobo
lus," and is understood by the modern
athlete when he swings the hammer OF
even when he makes a drive at golf.
