Balzac's copy was also nightmare
to compositors. According to the Lon

the direct result of the enormous labor

proofs of his manuscript. What it
meant to put his copy into type is
shown by the fact that Cesar Birot-

Cocoa as a Food.

We compare cocoa to a vegetable
egg because. like the egg. 1t contains
everything necessary for the building
Of the animal body. When we analyze
cocoa we find it perfect natural food.
Analysis teaches Us that 1t contains a
fair proportion Of heterogeneous matter
in the shape of gluten. very large
proportion of fat considerable
amount of starch. so much mineral
matter and. finally. stimulant Of its
own called theobromine. Cocoa Is an
excellent substitute for tea and coffee,
especially to those who are overstimu-
lated by these beverages. Pure cocoa
is easily digested- But be sure that
you get 1t pure. IF you find that one
brand of cocoa does not agree with
you try another until you find the one

Herbert Spencer and the Sea.

To illustrate the advantages the
modern child enjoys in seeing SO much
more Of the world than children of
earlier genera tons did. Herbert Spen-
Ger mentions that he had never seen
the sea until after he was twenty-one.
This is the more remarkable. because
his father always spent his summer
vacation at the seaside. rambling along
the coast from one place to another.
But the son never went with the IA
Their until he was a man. One result
is that we have first impression OF
the sea by a self studying adult. 1t

awe-the awe resulting from the mani
festation of size and power and the
joy from the sense of freedom given

which he found in a park. When he
learned that he had little chance to

DENIED A DELAY.
Supreme Court Would Not Give Gas
Co. Time in ETanneIly Case.

The supreme court has denied the ap-
plication of the Kansas Natural Gas
company for a stay of execution in
the Montgomery county suit which re-
suited in the appointment of receivers
for the gas company by Judge Thomas
Flannelly. A stay was sought by the
gas company pending final action on
an appeal to the supreme court. Judge
F1annelly established a precedent by
appearing personally before the su-
preme court to defend his action in the
receivership order.
Judge C.. F. Hutchins, of Kansas
City argued for a stay of execution for
the gas company. while S. N. Brewster
and Chester l. Long opposed the issu-
ance of such an order. AS soon as the
application for a stay had been filed,
Judge Flannelly notified the court that
he desired to be present when the mo-
ton was heard. Following the argu-
ment of Judge Hutchins, the Independ-
ence judge arose and asked permission
of the court to make a statement. This
request was granted and Judge Elan
nelly gave the court the history of the
Montgomery county suit.
Before the application for a receiver
ship for the Kansas Natural was filed
in the federal court, the state had
brought suit against the gas company
in Judge FTannelly's court charging
them with violation of the antitrust
laws and asking for the appointment
of receivers Because his case had
priority. Judge F1annelly insisted on
the trial of the case in his court,
found for the state and appointed re-
ceivers as prayed for. Now an appli-
cation is pending before Judge Pollock
to dismiss the federal receivers and
turn the property over to the men APP
pointed by the Montgomery county
Judge This case will be heard Mon
day in Kansas City. 1t was to dodge
this hearing that motion for a Stay
of execution was filed in the supreme
court. The court, after hearing the
arguments, denied the application for
a stay.

DEMAND STATE SEAL.
Illinois Judges Raise Question i'm New
York Extradition Case.

Chicago, March 22-It has been the
common practice among Illinois judges to
refuse to honor acquisitions from New
York when such instruments were au-

seal and not by the great seal of the

Judges here. Some of the correspondence
in this case, showing knowledge of pre-

custody of the secretary of state, it is
said is regarded the symbol of state
sovereignty and in extradition cases is
used by all states except New York.

boys and girls clubs at the Kansas
Agricultural college. The boys will
get together and discuss their prob

tell how they grew the prize acres of

them enthusiastic over growing bet

In the next two weeks boys in

three days in Republic, three in Mar
