Nellie Cousins. a 6O-year-old
scrub woman in a local depart
ment store for fifteen years, has
been playing a game of solitaire

Nearly every time she read the
cards she found a fortune prom

Sunday night she read the
cards on the last day of the fif-
teenth year of her indulgence in
this pastime, and once again the
cards predicted the Inheritance
of property. Within a day she
received a letter from Philadel-

10 man in the community is in bet
ter position to influence its agricul-

THIS Opportunity is being used as new
er before. Many bankers in Colorado
are beginning to inquire into the
farming practices and even requiring
better and safer methods before loans
will heriade. The Colorado Bankers
Associatiou has its committee on ag-

a representative in Europe studying

KANSAS CITY, KAS., June
25-Out at the Wyandotte county
farm, at Horoniff, a little, quiet,
sad-faced woman with white hair
was the one always called upon
to nurse the sick, She was so
patient and her touch so soothing
she always knew when and how
to do the right thing, seemed so
motheriy about it. No one knew
more about her than that her
name was Elizabeth-her age. So
My story doesn't interest any
one,' she would say.
But, fortunately for two, she
couldn't erase the records of the
state of Kansas and the county
of Wyandotte. Elizabeth Johns
was enrolled at the asylum at To-
peka sixteen years ago. Later
she was discharged as cured.
No one claimed her.
Three years ago in settling up
accounts the officials found Eliza
beth Johns at the Grandview
sanitarium. Sane? Perfectly.
+ "UNCLAIMED BAGGAGE"
Did she have any relative? -
Il don't want to embarrass
them," she said, 'I'm just a bit
of unclaimed baggage"
Well, the county couldn't af-
ford to keep her there. So, for
Elizabeth, it was lover the hills
to the poor house."
Three years passed. drudgery
and unwearying kindly attentions
to the others, consoling the aged,
caring for the children.
Recently gray-haired man
who rode in motor car and who
wore diamond in his shirt front
went to the office of U. S. Sartin
county auditor. From there he.
WAS directed to the Office of John
P. Sims, probate judge. He had
been to Topeka. The trail led to
Grandview sanitarium and then
to the county court house.
The man didn't give his name
Just then. 1t didn't matter.
Away went the motor car to
Horoniff. There was no speed
limit.
REUNITED AT LAST.
1t was the little white haired
woman who answered the door
bell.
"Will!"
"Elizabeth!'
She was so5bing in his arms.
Her things at once. What a
very little bundle they made!
Yes he would sign the papers.
The name he inscribed was:
William P. Johns, farmer,
Leavenworth county.
Broken in spirit when his wife
was taken to the asylum sixteen
years ago Johns rented out the
farm and went West. Yes, there
was a little silver mine in the
story and it had made good
ood enough for two old folks.
He heard from a friend that the
little wife had left the asylum
cured. but no one knew where
she had gone.
But it is all right now. *. C.

A GOOD PLAN FOR SAVING MONEY.

The Christmas Savings Society.
which Il being started By the Union
National Bank. bids fair to be one of
the most popular methods of saving
money ger. tried in Nsstkad1ster. The
purpose Of the Society Is 10 help its
patrons 10 accumulate a fund for
Christmas by each member paying a
small sun each week for fifty weeks
Just before Christmas each member
will receive The total amount paid in
with interest.
This Il a practical method whereby
parents may encourage their children
to save their pennies. as the accounts
can be started with from one to
seYenty-fye cents. Il need not. how
ever, be confined to children, for the
grown-ups who enter into it vii be
furnished with Christmas money
without any drain On their resources.
The bulk of the money saved IN this
way will be spent in Westminster
among the merchants during the holi-
days and for Christmas presents. It
Is a plan which has many advantages
and will no doubt be marked with
great success here as has been the
case In other towns.

wants Is stock whose value is IN

then he neglects those dependent up-
on him and wastes that which he has

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

to Calamity howlers" like Floor
Leader Mann and other Republicans
and II these articles are considered al
all they should at least temper some
of the dire DEMONSTRATIONS of our
esteemed neighbor. The Sentinel
which apparently can see nothing but
ruin and destruction IN a Democratic
administration.
The following editorial appeared in
the Saturday Evening Post of last
week, and sums up the situation
pretty well:
Business In the United States. on
the whole, is not SO good as IL was
early last March. Few shrewd OBJ
servers at that time expected 1t would

months before. They are now run

than they were last year. Building
operations show a decline. That there
will be some further recession IL quite

to remember that this condition Is

chief causes of II. The cause that by
far overshadoWB all others Ii the

simply hard up for cash. This eause
developed out of conditions with
which domestic politics had absolutely
nothing 10 do. and England, France
and Germany are as hard up a. our
selves. Brazil. Canada and India are
oven more affected BY the worldwide
money pinch than the United States.
The art Of politics consists partly In
telling plausible lies. There is always
a wordy effort to attribute the bust
ness condition Of the eountry-Wketh-
or good or bad-to political causes.
though nine times out of ten politics
has nothing to do with 1t either way.
This is one of the times when 1t has

GAMBLISG-GREAT AND SMALL.

Gambling Is one Of the curses Of the
present day-not merely the small
gambling which is carried on In pack
alleys and obscure places. but the
gambling which goes on in the cham
bers of commerce. the boards of trade
and the stock exchanges. Purchases
and sales of commodities and stocks
when the sellers have nothing 10 sell
and the purchasers have no intention
of receiving the goods-this may be
called business, but 1t Is nothing
more nor less than gambling, and In
some respects Il is worse than gamb=

larger scale than the gambling In

4 FUNDAMENTAL REFORM.

II vas IN be expected of Senator
Blair Lee that he would not lose his
Interest In the reform of legislative
procedure At Annapolis merely be-
cause he has been transferred TO
Washington. lie not only fought for
this reform The whole time he was In
tho State Senate. but he has been
lighting for this Kind Of thing ever
since he has been In public life. His
election TO the United States Senate
oy such an unprecedented majority
puts him In a unique position before
the people Of Maryland and they have
right to demand and 10 expect lend
srshlp from him. and leadership Of
the right Kind. Ills statement made
public yesterday morning shows that
he recognizes this obligation.
! The coming session Of the General
Assembly vii be called upon To con
slider an unusual amount of important
constructive Legislation. but II II Il 10

the platform builders, has clearly be-
come the head Of the corner In the
Judgment OF the public. and nothing
less Il likely TO satisfy popular senti-
~=asrt The waste Of tims and money,
the confusion of purpose. the legiaIa-
tive inefiieIency and errors Inherelat
IN the present methods have long beIan
matters OF common knowledge. Tho
even greater evils and dangers grow.
ing out of them have been Illustrated
time and time again. What i neelIed
Is the emancipation of the Legislature
from rules Of procedure which fa9Iil-
tate bad legislation and hinder ,sdod.
and which give crooked men an iad-
vantage over straight ones. TheI Leo
program would strike of the mana
Giles that have fettered many ! Hene1-
al Assembly. and enable every man u
do his work in the full light OF day.
Publicity and efficiency are the key
notes of Senator Lees progfani and
no honest member of the Legislature
should be afraid of either.
! The application of the same prln-
eiple Of publicity to the caucus would
be wise and courageous. and The sug-
gestion might In general be adopted
with benefit both to parties ind the
public. The secrecy Of a caucus Is
the thing which tends TO make 1t IN
popular and to create suspicion With
regard to Its action. No public man,
be hia sphere great or small, should
be afraid or ashamed TO have his
whole official life an open page for
everybody to read. lie should court
and invite scrutiny, not shun 1t. and
the less he has to conceal. the less
effort he vii make 20 hide from the
public eye.
We trust that Senator Lee will help
the issue Of legislative reform to the
front from this time On. He cannot
render greater service to this State
Just now than by making this the chief
subject of a determined campaign
