Those who can indulge themselves
In expensive novelties In fur sets may
consider the very handsome scarf and

The scarf is q new design, terminating
where it fastens at the neck in three
skins which provide splendid pro-

encircIes the neck and another falls
over the shoulder and down the back.
A big, soft bow OF Lyons velvet pro-

~. Time flies like the old invisible
she dragon who visits the temple

ago that little Wun Lung ana ms
neighbor, Fow Kee, sat ct the feet Of
the smaller Sun Joy In the Street Of
the Six Hundred Full Blown Roses
Wun Lung and Fow kee were mem
or thought they were. Sun Joy was q
woman. Their combined length did not
exceed nine feet. Sun Joy was demure
and coy and Winsome. Wun Lung was
lively and good natured. Fow Kee was
lburIy and jealous and III natured. He
and Wun Lung kow-towed, as It were,
lnt the shrine OF Sun Joy--and at that
shrine, SO IL would seem, Wun Lung
had the inside track. And for that Fow
IKee would pull Wun Lungs short, soft
pig tail and Wun Lung would simply
laugh.
But Wnn Lung had something be-
side his good nature to recommend him
and that something made him much
admired by little Sun Joy and much
envied BY Fow Kee. For Wun Lung,
although he never realized It for many
years. was natural born acrobat.

THE SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL

Science has invented way to tell
why a man commits crime, and the
system is to be used in Kansas City
so we can supply what the criminal
lacks to make him a good citizen and
cure him instead Of furnishing him.
This wonderful system is just a
series of simple questions that the
psychologist, or mental investigator
will ask. When the whole list has
been gone through, and the investi-
gator reaches questions that the con-
vict can't answer, he can tell exactly
what the mental age of the prisoner
is.
Then the Lombrosc tsets, invented
by the great Italian scientist, will
be applied to be sure that no mis-
take is made. Lombrose's theory is
that certain physical characteristics
are sure marks of criminality, or at
least Of departure from the normal.

! HOW lTsE APlPENED I !.

There viii he no farmers shor
course for the farmers living in tn
immediate vicinity. This has beef
definitely decided upon By the com
+ mittee in charge. The letter from tb,
Extension Department of the School o
!. Agricultare Offering the course stated
! explicitly that to receive consideratiol
1 acceptance thereof must reach sh.
department no. later than November
.55th.
Shortly after the proposition had
ibeen put up to the city, the Commercia al
Club considered it and vas favOrsbly
enough impressed SO that it appointed
u committee consisting of Ferdinand
'Croue, J. A. Ochs and F. H. Re, zlaff
70 look into the matter and secure the
course IT possible. AS prerequisite
Tor securing the course, suitable hall
or meeting place was insisted upon by
the department.. The committee made
application for Turner Hall and was
Uniformed that for the use of the audi
torluu including the stage, for morn.
log. afternoon and evening sessions,
and the small ball for exhibits and
meeting purposes, the kitchen and
xer> sibly the Dutch Room all heated

during Anidwllter, rental OF $1,000
per day would be charged :a's.Ehe usual
rental would be $50 90 per day for all

its educational character, the Society
was willing to rent the Hall for the
farmers SHORT course for $50 90 per
: day. -..-.. ~..s
(. tAatS'r oanv assing the situation the
cOmmittee finally decided not to
negotiate for the course. 1t is to be
regretted that the committee reached
this conclusion. Lack OF interest on
abe part of the farmers is given as the
reason why the matter had to be
dropped.
Lack OF en-, ,husiasm on the port of
our citizens may have had fully as
much to do with our failure TO get
the course when much smaller cities
we're successful. There is tendency
in this mans town to shove the
burdens on to some one else. When
lit comes 10 agricultural matters there
us a tendency TO throw the work on TO
Ferdinand Crone and ia this case it
lis physical impossibility for one
s,nan to create the enthusiasm that
sdozen or more boosters can put forth
and that should always be borne in
,inind when 1t is desired to secure con-
wentiuns for our city. Otherwise New

WHAT ARE YOU WORTH?

Not in dollars and cents, which
are but arbitrary figures and for the
most part meaningless.
John A. Sleicher puts the question
this way in recent issue of Leslie's:
Young man or young woman, you
are worth something. Don't sell
yourself too cheap. Your health,
strength, intellect, industry, appli-
cation, morals, principles and high
character-all of these are an asset
They are worth something if you
have any of them. They are price
less if you have them all, for they
are what make our foremost men
and women. They make great teach
ers, workers, preachers, leaders
generals in war, captains of the in.
| dustry, managers of railroads and
| heads of corporations.
Yeep yourself worth all that you
can. Hold yourself in the worlds
market at the highest price.
AS the farmer seeks to win the
prizes with the best products of the
soil and breeding stable, as the man
ufacturer strives for the finest worl
of the loom, the forge or the spindle
as the young housewife delights il
the most delicate embroidery ant
the artist in the highest example O
his art, so let everyone, howeve
humble, seek the best for what h
has to offer and he will get the high
er price.
