The increase in good reading among
children dates from the discovery a
few years ago that young America was
able to appreciate literature in the
grade schools. Selections from Dick

stituted for the Sunday school stories
with morals pinned to their tails.
When the youngsters learned to like
good books they began to demand

FORM A BOYS CLUB
Church Youngsters Have an
Athletic Association.
Considered Best Independent
Organization in State.
LIBRARY OF 1000 BOOKS
Club House Situated on Beauti-
full Avenue Grounds.
Kibbee, COIlinsOn and Shoe
maker Are Directors.

For more than a year and a half
the Cathedral Boys club has been in
organization and is now one of the
largest and best equipped indepen-
dent athletic clubs in the state. The
club came into existence early in the
spring of 1912, when it was organized
under the direction of Canon L. A. G.
Pitcaithly. Cannon Pitcaithly left
Topeka last May for Kansas City,
where he is head of a similar club.
The first meetings were held in a va
cant room over the Grace Cath dral.
1t was not until January of this year
that the club house was finished. The
club started out with a membership
of nine charter members, but now it
has increased to nearly 40. There are
also a dozen associate members among
local business men who look after the
business interests of the club. The
control of the club is vested in a
board of dictatorship of three men,
H. c. Kibbee. w. b. CollinSon and
Robert Shoemaker.

ICE CURE FOR BADNESS.
F'rigid Temperature Is Said to Surely
Make the Hair Grow.

Can badness be cured by cold at
nospheric treatment? This is a ques-
ton that has been occupying the at
tention of scientists.
Sir Ernest ShackletOn, the eXplor-
er. laid stress upon the fact that many
of the men in his expedition before
their soiourn in the Antarctic regions
were remarkable for the thinness of
their locks. They had barely been a
few weeks in the frozen south, how
ever than their hair began to grow,
and when they returned from their
expedition all had hair remarkable
for it's thickness and luxuriance.
nearly all the men who work the
greater part of the day in cold stor-
age rooms have good heads of hair.
The laws of nature would seem to
emphasize the fact that cold is favor
able to the growth of hair. Take the
case of the animals. In no countries
of the world is their fur so thick and
luxuriant as in the frozen Arctic re-
sions BY a special dispensation of
Providence the animal jewellers there
are given an extra thick warm COW
ering to protect them from the cold.
In the brief spell of warm weather
they cast their coats for a lighter one
more suita BILE for the season.
Why should not the same law pre-
vail in the case of human beings p

MOVES HOUSE and TENANTS
Woman Owner, Failing to Gust Doctor
and Wife, Catches Them Unawares.

All the law in the Waldo county,
impersonated by sheriffs and deputy
| sheriffs, and aided by a fearful and
angry woman and a crew of carpen-
ters. wreckers and movers, has been
| ineffective to get Dr. Prince E. Luce
and his wife of Belfast, Me, out of a
cottage on this Methodist camp
ground.
DR.. Luce hired the cottage last year
from Mrs. Evelyn Mudgett and he in
sists that he also engaged it for this
season. Mrs. Mudgett says that the
doctor took the place for 1912 only,
ana she wants to get rid of him, so
that she can build new cottage on
the lot.
Last week, after repeated attempts
to get the doctor out by legal process,
MIS- Mudgett sent crew of carpen-
tiers to tear the cottage down. The
doctor was away, and before he re-
turned the wreckers had demolished
the kitchen. The doctor put up a tent
over his cook stove and resumed pos
session.
For a time hostilities were suspend
ed while Mrs. Mudgett consulted her
lawyers again. She was advised to
move what remained of the cottage
bodily, and on Thursday the moving
began. The doctor and his wife were
sitting on the front piazza. when they
noticed that the cottage had been de-
tached from the porch and was NOV
ing away from them. They made

while the cottage was trundled SO

gathered and impartially cheered
the movers and the moved.

making frequent trips to and from

Thus far Mrs. Mudgett has had Dr.
Luce in court three times, and he has
been held in bonds for breaking and
entering, assault and battery upon
Mrs. Mudgett, carrying dangerous
weapons, and assaulting an officer.
He has appealed all the cases.

Begins at This Hall.

department of the city library is one OF
the pleasantest rooms in town Topeka
children are great readers. They like
good books. And, strange to relate,
the little boy bookworms outnumber
the girls two to one.
The expansion of the children's Ii
brary in the past % years has been
large. Juvenile books have tripled in
circulation. The first official report of
the city library, for the year 1888, is
in the possession of Miss Caroline Med
hcott, head librarian. Only 5000 vol
umes of juvenile literature were in cir
culation that year. In 1912 a total of
1918 books were issued to Topeka
youngsters. Librarians estimate that
five out of every ten Topeka children
hold cards. Last year 81, $50 books
were circulated from the library. One
fourth of this number went to children
under fifteen.
Inviting Place for Them.
On sunny afternoon a steady
stream of Riddles file into the juvenile
room. It's an inviting place with its
big windows, deep cases. revolving
shelves and fairy pictures by Maxfield
Parrish and Jessie Wilcox-Smith. The
children like the pictures and they like
the stories about them. One freckled
faced kiddie studies the soldiers and
the chargers and the genii and pensive-
ly demands a copy of the Abraham
Knights
Miss Henrietta Alexander, who has
charge of the juvenile department,
declares the children are more pains
taking and less troublesome than the
grown-ups. She attributes it to two
causes-deSire to please, and re1uct-
ance to pay fines. The youngsters are
so anxious to help that they insist up
on placing their books on shelves in
earnest but misguided attempts to
help Miss Henrietta. It's seldom they
keep a book overtime. Two cents a
day-that's a big fine. 1t will buy two
sticks of gum, or two sticks of licorice,
or two peppermint sticks, or-on the
whole, it isn't worth while to have a
book overdue. Best bring it back on
time and have the two pennies.
Read Good Books.
If you glance over the bent heads
of the small readers, you will notice
that the books they are reading are
good books Here again the boys
score-they demand histories and bio
graphies. They fight for the Jungle
Books, Treasure Island, and Seton
Thompson. And they read war stor-
les until the books are ragged.
Little Women" is the most popular
volume in the department. Dozens of
copies have been out thousands of
times. No one quite as dear as Meg,

THE Riviera reminds me of the
man who opened a boarding house at
Saranac Lake and advertised it as a
winter resort.
"A guest went up there, and after a
brief Sojourn packed up, paid his bill
and said:
How can you have the nerve to
advertise this place as a winter resort

The naval strength of the Dominican
government consists of two or three
converted yachts, armed with six
Founders and machine guns. They
could cause enormous damage to an
unfortified town like Puerta Plata, es-
