everything about her house in perfect Or

that beloved habitat of dust, mahoganv
furniture; 1 concede that she IS most

realize that she certainly Is a WhOuerAuI
woman to have accomplished ali TINS IN

And yet still maintain that she IS NOT

Because, while she has learned 10 40 al,

She must study how to do every niue

She must have the best tools
She must be willing not to do things

KANSAS COMMENT
THE SEMI-ARID BELT.

Residents of Western Kansas, re-
ferring particularly to the west 46
counties of the state, are familiar with
the allusion to the section as the semi
arid belt. 1t was applied years ago by
the federal department of agriculture
and the most recent publication of the
department referring to the section
employs the same nomenclature. How
ever, the departments experts who
nave been spending some time in that
section, have taken cognizance of the
discoveries made by the sturdy settlers
In that region. The success of their
efforts to reclaim what the department
is pleased to call the semi-arid region
has resulted in the raising of land
values above the 800 an acre mark
IN the sections where irrigation has
been perfected The efforts of others
IN employing a careful system of dry
farming has also shown the value of
the soil and it's productiveness when
the moisture which it receives is prop
erly conserved. The drought resistant
crops are proving their value every
year. Careful farming is doing much
70 pave the way to greater prosperity
Tor the western Kansan as the example
of the boy in one of the western coun-
ties, who grew 80 bushels of corn on one
acre, tends to show. Western Kansas
may be in the semi-arid belt but it is
willing to be judged by its products
which as the years go by are more
least of these is the spirit of progress
OF its citizens, the men and women who
believe in the country and whose faith
is being rewarded.-Salina Journal
THE SCIENCE OF NOSES
1t is a fortunate thing for humanity
that not all doctors of medicine are too
busy attending to their patients to vVr1ta
essays for the medical conventions. Otf.-
erwise the public would miss many en-
PERTAINING and consoling pieces of infor-
nation. DIR Haseltine, for instance. in his
address before the Illinois HOMEOPATHIC
Medical association says the larger ones
nose, the greater the intellect Further
more. the uglier ones nose the greater his
mental powers Huge noses, commonly
considered Sdefornlities are brought about
by the overdevelopment of the brain,
which causes the forehead to bulge and
in this way occasions the nasal deformi-
ties which are so numerous The pre-
tuberant proboScis is the true sign OF
genius. DR.. Haseltine fortifies his theory
with gallery of pictures showing that
the great men OF the past would have
taken no prizes in a beauty contest on &C
count of their noses. In some Instances
genius Possesses physical beauty despite,
and not ON account of nasal feature The
eyes are of unusual brilIiancy or color.
the head and figure possess the perfect
sha--e but the nose almost invariably con-
tributes the note of discord to the artis-
tic harmony.-Winfield Courier

AS all of tn prominent speakers at
the various agricultural conferences
that have been held in Topeka this
week have pointed out. the conservation
of the soil is Of more Importance to the
people of Kansas and the nation than
is the conservation of coal. water
power, forests, or any other of the nat
uraI resources. Renewing the fertility
of the soil also comes easier to the agri-
culturist who is wise enough to. main
tain herd of cattle proportionate to
the size of his farm no matter how
large or how small it may be.

Kitchen Maid Invented Polka.

Recently there has been considerable
discussion in the Austrian press concern
ing the origin of the polka; and it ap-
pears that at last the question is settled
and the origin of the dance finally de-
termined. It appears that the polka was
the Improvisation of an Austrian maid
servant who, tired of kitchen work. be-
gan to dance at her own sweet WILL sing
ing the while native folk-song as ae-
compartment. Her master and mistress
caught her in the middle of her dane e
and made her come into the drawing
room, where she danced it again before a
musician named Neruda, who transcribed
the music and the time. That all hap
pened in 1890
Five years later in 1885, the dance was
introduced to Prague Here it received
the name Polka" on account of its half
step, Polka" being a Czech word mean
ing stone-half." Four years after in 1879
a-e polka was introduced to Vienna
where it Immediately became the one
fashionable dance Naturally, from
Vienna there was only one step to be
made TO the capital of Europe. This was
made in the next year. In 1S40 a dancel
from Prague. by name Raab, danced TIE
polka for the first time in Paris at TIE
Theater de POdeon. The dance took Paris
by storm, and was Immediately establish :
ed forever. Such is the new authenticated
history OF the Westminster Ga
zette.

Greeks Welcome War.

Wac there ever a war like this !?
Twelve thousand brave soldier poys
have sailed for Greece in the last
three weeks, but. not a tear has been
shed at their departure. AS many
more will leave these shores in the
next fortnight, yet no hearts Will be
broken, no wives, sweethearfs. or
m others left disconsolate.
The brave soldier boys are going
home to their wives and sweethearts,
which accounts in no small degree
for their rush. There are practically
no Greek women in America Ninety
nine per cent of the Greeks in Amer
lea are maIes-their wives, sweet
hearts and families are fourteen days
away across the rolling wet
Consequently, as the fare to Patras,
the principal Greek port. is only SIS
for those who propose to fight, thou
sands of Greek walters, flower sell
ers, candy makers and bootblacks are
filled with the war spirit.
There's another thing about this
war, too, and it isn't as popular as it
might be. When the brave soldier
boys arrive at Patras they will be
forced to SD ed their trousers and don
short dresses. The accordion plated
in the Greek army, is picturesque,
but after wearing trousers for sew
era1 years, it does not appeal to their
esthetic tastes.
1t should not De gatnered from TINS
that the. Greeks who are sailing for
their native land are without patriot
ism or that they are Gripping our ho-
tel service, candy shops and shoe
shining stands for sordid motives.
Quite the contrary is true. The Greeks
are probably the most patriotic race
in the world 1t is merely a coinci-
dence that their wives and sweethearts
are at the front. They are most anx-
ious to free the fellow countrymen In
Macedonia from the Turkish tyrant's
yoke
1t is only necessary to visit few of
the Greek restaurants on Sixth ave-
nue. between Thirty-fifth and Fortieth
streets to be convinced of that. The
atmosphere in these restaurants is so
thick with war talk that one could
cut it with a knife Their walls echo
and re-echo with war songs.
