TT is an admitted fact that Mary had
1 little lamb, but it may be news to
the general public that Bobby Blank,
who lives out Georgetown way, had
another. Leastwise, he had, until the
other day, when his ownership came
to what one might briefly call
calamitous cessation.
Bobby had been week-ending with
little cousin who lives out in the coun-
try two hours by wagon, on hill, on
the pike. Little cousin owned pet
lamb, and when the wagon was wait
ing for Bobby he, somehow, managed
to sneak pet off and get away with
the goods.
The wise men who make the world
go round for us assert that character
changes with environment, and it
must be so, for, by the time the wagon

Some Mighty Beautiful Things in the Constitution

CENATOR TOM MARTIN of Vir-
y ginia is radically different from
most statesmen from the sunny
south He is not an orator. On the
contrary, he is usually SO silent that
he makes the Sphinx seem like the
star book agent for an installment
publishing house. AS some of his con-
stituents like to say: Tom takes
his'n out in thinkin' and actin.
But while Martin says little, he lis
tens much. And when he does finally
break into speech his words are to
the point.
Some time ago there came up, in
the senate, a bill on which there was
a bitter fight Straightway several of
those senators who have come to be
known as constitutional sharks leap
ed to their feet one after another, in
high sounding and resounding protest
Shall we, unworthy as we are, dare
to violate either the letter or the spir-
il of our beloved constitutions" they
demanded. Neyer-neve1-not one
iota-NEVER!"
Martin listened calmly until all had
done Then he rose slowly and drap-
ed himself gracefully over one edge
of his desk.

How John Burroughs Found Place to Sleep In

7 Ohm BURROUGHS, accompanied
u by two we'll known naturalists,
Ernest Thompson-Seton and Glenn
Buck of Chicago, was recent visitor
to the capitol.
At the capitol Mr.. Burroughs gazed
with thoughtful eyes directed toward
the imposing, glistening white, marble
senate Office building.
Beautiful building, isn't it," he
was asked
Hugh! Yes" was the slow re-
sponse.
But" he added, 81 would whole
sight rather gaze at a scene l remem-
Der so distinctly. I had visited a
small hamlet in a state that was
dry"
Il looked about, but could find no
place to sleep. 1t took only a few
minutes to traverse the settlement.
There was only one place where a
light could be seen. The nature of
the business being transacted there
was apparent to all who cared to un-
derstand. 1t was a so-called blind
tiger"
Seeking rest there was out of the
question, but / was tempted to enter

IMPROVING SKIN OF THROAT
Proper Applications, Will Ac-
compish Wonders.

If the skin of the throat is loose and
baggy, dip the tips of your fingers in
alcohol, massage from the throat up
ward toward the chin, and then from
the throat downward toward the
chest. Do this two and a half min
utes, and the remaining two and a
half massage with a pure skin food
along the same lines. You will find
that alcohol is absorbed rapidly, and
that if the skin food is applied quick
ly after, it, too, will sink quickly in
When finished give the throat few
dashes of cold water and pat dry.
Now, if you wish the best results
do not put off starting this massage
until you are badly in need of the
treatment, for then five minutes will
hardly suffice. Start right in now and
make a five-minute massage part OF
your daily toilet. Keep it up and in
time you cannot help but notice de
cided change in your skin. Five min
utes may not seem worth while, but ii
will surely help to retain the beauty
you do possess, besides keeping in
abeyance the many troublesome blem
iShes which affect the skin.

FIVE-MlNUTE SCALP MASSAGE
Persevered In, This Treatment Will
Bring Best Results and Hair
Will Not Become Oily.

If your scalp is dry and shows dan
druff, get bottle of ordinary red
vaseline. Put very little of the vase
line on the tip of each finger of your
hand; then rub the tips Of the fingers
Of the other hand against those that
have vaseline on them. There should
be apparent then only slight oiliness
Of all the finger tips. Next place the
inger tips upon the scalp at the edge
Of the hair, one hand at either side
Of the head. 1t does not matter much
whether you start at the nape of the
neck, or on the forehead, but wher-
ever you do start, let the hands be an
even distance apart. For instance,
place one in back of each ear. Once
started rub the finger tips above each
temple, slowly and gently forward, un-
til they meet at the crown of the head,

Lono-Lost Mine Found

The long-lost Cinnabar mine in Ne
vada has been found after a search
lasting more than thirty years The
discovery was made some weeks ago
by George Keough while searching for
strayed stock, seven miles from Nina.
The discovery was kept secret un-
til claims were staked and assays
made of the ore, showing it to run
high in quicksilver.
Following the announcement of the
finding of the mine a rush was start
ed for the district in which it is
located.
Hawthorne, after finding the Gin
nabar deposit, became confused and
lost his way on the desert He wan
dered about for several days and final

thriving camp, but now extinct.
He conducted expedition after expe-
dition in search of the deposit, but his
efforts were fruitless. He described
the location, stating that two petrified
trees stood near the mound
The stone trees are to be noticed
today as described by the old pros
pector, who dies 13 years ago.

Wash silk Petticoats.

Wash silk petticoats are useful
addition to any wardrobe, be it limited
or not. They are made of somewhat
heavy silk. Silk and cotton so-called
tub silk, is almost as durable as heavy
all-silk material and is more durable
for petticoats, at least, than cheap
all silk. The petticoats are made in
striped pattern with scant bias
founces at the bottom. They can be
worn with any light street costumes
One of violet and white in narrow
stripes could be worn with tan, green
or violet outside skirts; one of tan
and whita would find many uses, and
more decided colors would be useful to
wear with a few frocks.

A MOST JUST WAR
Is That Declared by Officials
Against POp-Pop Speeding.
And if They Could Only Be
Forced to Stop Suffering.

War has been declared by the po-
lice department on pop-pops, autos
and motorcycles without numbers and
lights that can be seen, and on speed
ing. From now on there will be no
leniency in handling such cases, and
the police expect to curb the viola
tions that are reported as decidedly
common occurrences.
Six miles an hour in turning cor
ners is the limit allowed by city or
dinance. Eight miles an hour on
Kansas avenue, on Sixth avenue be-
tween Quincy and Jackson streets and
on Thirteenth street between Buchan-
an and Lane streets, and 16 miles an
hour anywhere else inside the city
limits is all that is allowed. Persons
caught travelling at a rate of speed in
The pop-pop nuisanceS, including
running both autos and motorcycles
with mufflers open, also will be dealt
with summarily. And numbers and
lights must be on all machines if the
drivers would avoid arrest. Not only
must a light be burning, but it must
be burning brightly enough that it can
be seen.
A traffic squad of two patrolmen
probably will be placed on Kansas
avenue, one at Sixth and the other at
Eighth to compel obedience to the or
dinances, as both corners are heavily
travelled and accidents from careless
ness are imminent.

Who Shot NJ. Il. Kemper?

Several persons were questioned
and Sheriff L. L. Kiene spent a good
deal of time today trying to locate a
man who shot M. T. Kemper, 1910
Garfield avenue, in the back as he sat
milking about 9 O'Clock last night. In
vestigations have led to no definite
conclusions so far, although the Of
ficers are following every possible
clue. Mr.. Kemper had returned from
Carbonate and was milking in his
barnyard. A flash and report of a
pistol, he told the officers. and the
sting of a bullet in his back was the
first he knew anyone was near him.
He turned, he said, in time to see his
assailant dart away up the alley, and
although he followed as quickly as he
could, failed to gain on the man.
He gave the officers a description
and declared there is only one man
in town who he thinks might have
been guilty. The officers say they
have interviewed the man in question
and he has esta blished a perfect alibi.

I. NJ. Blitz this morning confessed
judgment in an involuntary suit in
bankruptcy pending against him in

called for hearing. The suit was
brought by creditors. A schedule of
resources and liabilities will be filed
soon with the referee in bankruptcy,
Judge j. G. Slonecker.
The case was set for trial before a
jury. The hearing was forestalled,
however. by the confession of judg-
ment. Blitz was a jeweler here.
A plea of guilty was entered by
Chester F. Candy, postmaster at Ply
mouth, Kan. to a charge of embez-
zIing postoffice funds The sentence
imposed was fine of the amount of
the embezzlement charged, and Candy
was given 80 days to pay the fine.
The shortage amounted to S1.697.14.
Today the court is hearing argu-
ments on various motions pending.
There were no cases set for hearing
except the Blitz and Candy cases, in
which diSposals were made.
Tomorrow there are two cases
against the Katy, in which violations
of the 2Shcur stock law are charged.
There is also civil suit of George A

others for the collection of money.
