MILTON, LA TO KEoKUK
viii be Known az tho sTrlpiet STAR
Trail and Follows X. & w.
Into This
City.

An automobile trail from Milton.
Ia. following the line of the Keokuk
and Western railroad through Mis-
souri, and into this city has been map
ped out by the farmers living along
the route.
Fl. T. Drake and Mr.. jenkins OF
Memphis, Mo-, have blazed the trail
from Kahoka into Keokuk with the
adopted mark, a white base with
three red stars. The road is to be
known as the "triplet star trail and
1t enters Keokuk by the way of Fifth
street.
The plan is part OF the good roads
movement that has swept the coun-
try in the last few years and the
farmers along the line are enthusiast
tic over the prospect for better roads.
The Milton-keokuk line Is the begin
ming of the trials Of the .'triplet star
and they will be carried south ulti-
mately, with Quincy, I'll, as the OBJ
jectiye point.

oruanizina the Work.

When the farmers along the road
started out on the good roads project
they held meeting and organized,
electing DIR. P. NJ. Baker of Memphis,
Mo-, president; A. G. Hale of Milton,
Ia, and Geo. G. Sayer of Memphis,
Mo-, presidents; Glen Smith OF
,Cantril, Iowa, secretary, and j. B.
Kutzner of Brock. Mo-, treasurer.
Practically every farmer approach
ed became an enthusiast of the pro-
ject and much rivalry sprung up be-
tween different towns for the trail.
The route was finally laid out, and no
digressions will be made until the
main route is completed.
The organization is permanent and
funds will be raised to carry out its
program. The road is all dirt now,
but a more permanent road bed is a
future aim OF the farmers.

Saved bv April Fool Time.

When Francis, duke of Lorraine, and
his wife were awaiting death in the
prison of Nantes they chose as the
day for an attempt to escape the list
of April:
Disguised as peasants, says a chron-
ic1er, the one bearing a bod on his
shoulder, the other carrying basket
OF rubbish on her back. they both at
an early hour of the day passed through
the gates of the city. A woman having
a knowledge of their persons ran to
the guard to give notice to the sentry.
''ApriI foo1r' cried the soldier, and
his comrades to man shouted out,
capri fooI-'
The governor, to whom the incident
was related as a great jest, became
suspicious, and ordered an investiga-
ton, but it was too late, for N the
meantime the duke and his wife were
well on their way. The list OF April
had saved them.

Power of suaasstlon.

What he calls an effective sugges-
ton test is given by Professor Hugo
Munsterberg in an article on GLOW
Can We Know OurseIve s" in the
Youths Companion. DRAW several
pairs of circles writes the psycholo-
gist, ''and let your friend decide which
circle in each pair is the larger. In
some cases make one circle slightly
larger than the other; usually, how
ever, make the circles of each pair the
same size. In each circle write a fig
ure Of two digtts. Although the circles
are alike, you viii find that If in one
you have written small number, such
as twenty-one, and in the other Il
larger number, such as seventy mine,
the boy or girl who is open to sugges-
ton will tell you that the circle that
contains the higher number is the lar
ger. The size of the number suggests
a wrong idea about the size of the cir
cles.''

The custom Of sleeping In one large
sheet, doubled at the foot, seems to
have been peculiar to Scotland and to
have made special impression on more
than one English traveller. Fynes
Moryson, writing in 1898, says, 'gThey
used but one sheet open at the sides
and top, but closed at the feet and so
doubled and John Ray, the natural
list, who visited Scotland about 1862.
remarked that cit is the manner In
some places there to lay on but one
sheet as large as two, turned up from
the feet upward" The practice, 7 inn
agine, was continued until recent
times, and 1 have, when a boy, slept
in a sheet of the kind. Such pieces OF
linen were termed Sheets" par excel
lence, the single. coverings which are
now used being called +hah sheets. -

Good Sif+ers.

Turkish women are said to have one
accomplishment in which they excel
the women of all other nationalities
They know how to sit. Hester Don
aldsen Jenkins calls attention to the
fact that the turkish verb to. sit is
used there occfdentals would use to
Hve,og stay, or visit To the question,
.rWhere are you Iiv1ng?'' one gets the
reply, st am sitting in StambouI." Or
to the question, .sAre you married? ''
the answer will be, mo, am sitting
at home" And when they sit they
sit quietly, Gin the perfect repose of a
sleeping cat'' They don't have to keep
their hands busy They don't crochet
or knit. They just sit.

Uses For old British Uniforms.

Black cloth clothes purchased by Sec
ondhand dealers, provided they are too
far gone to be revived are sent to
France, Russia and Poland to be made
into caps, which the working people of
these countries wear The CASTOR red
coats of the British soldiers almost all
go to Holland, for in that damp coun-
try the people have a notion that red
cloth keeps off rheumatism. There
fore, all careful Dutchmen of the la
boring classes wear red cloth waist
coats next their skin. These are made
by cutting off the sleeves of the Brit
ish soldiers red coats and altering the
shape little. The snowy uniforms of
the guards and the full dress nveries
of the lord mayors footmen and the
royal servants come into the hands of
the old clothes dealers and go chiefly
to the south coast of Africa, where
they are sold to the native chiefs.
Travellers are sometimes amused at be-
ing received in full state by a swarthy
chief on his throne dressed out in foot
mans livery or a riieman's uniform

The Country Boys Greed.

ST believe that the country, which
God made, is more beautiful than the
city, which man made; that life out of
doors and in touch with the earth is
the natural life of man. 1 believe that
work is work wherever we find it, but
that work with nature is more inspir
ing than work with the most Intricate
machinery. I believe that the, dignity
of labor depends, not on what you do,
but on how you do it; that opportunity
comes to a boy on the farm as often
as to the boy in the city; that life is
larger and freer and happier on the
farm than in town; that my success
depends, not upon my location, but
upon myself; not upon my dreams, but
upon what actually do; not upon luck,
but upon pluck. / believe in working
when you work and in playing when
you play and in giving and demanding
a square deal in every act of life

Conserve Your Steam.

A man who never amounted to much
once got a job running the engine of
sawmfll. He was greatly impressed
with the Importance of his position
and wanted every one to know that he
was the man who made all the wheels
go round The first morning he steam
ed up the engine he jerked the whistle
wide open and made the welllin ring
for miles around, saying to himself as
the echoes bounced over the hills, 81
am certainly the big noise in this part
of the country Just then the fore
man started the force on a big days
work and discovered that there was
not enough steam left to start the ma
chinery. He of the big noise was
promptly canned, and the job was Civ

Lake MohOnk Conference.

Mohork Lake, N. Y, Oct 23-Con-
troll of the Philippines by an interna-
ltional council was proposed, today, at
the Lake Mohonk Conference OF
Friends of the Indians and Other De-
pendent Peoples. The suggestion
hcame from A s. Lanier, of Richmond,
va, assistant solicitor of the United
States department of agriculture, who
served in the Philippines for several
years as assistant secretary for the
bureau of justice
Mr.. I.anier let it be known that he
had just submitted his plan to Presi-
dent Wilson and to the departments
of state and war He offered 1t as
fsoluticn of the problem he considered
not only perplexing but menacing and
the one of all others most likely to
lem broi1 this country with Japan.
The plan provides for a council
composed of members selected by the
United States, England, France, Ger
t1nany, Russia and Japan and possibly
other nations. This body would Sc
Iect a chief executive. 1t would be
the upper legislative house of the Is
lands with a lower house composed
entirely of natives. Its creation, Mr..
Lanier thinks, would do away with
the necessity of keeping troops in the
Philippines outside of the native
forces. Any questions upon which the
members of the council could not
agree would De submitted " L ne
Hague tribunal. Eventually, Mr..
I4anier believed, the Filipino would be
able to govern his own country and
when this time arrived, the internal
tio1aI council could be abolished.
The session of the conference, to-
day, was devoted to the Philippines.
The discussions acquired a timely in
terest from the recent changes in
Philippine policy by the Wilson ad-
rniaistration. Many of the delegates
seemed to disagree with the change
by which the natives were given a
majority on the Philippine Commits
sion. The supporters of this plan
pointed out, however, that it was only
tentative and that the law expressly
stated that if a trial proved unsuc-
cessful the plan could be abandoned
Missionary and educational work
among the Moros and pagan tribes
was treated by the Rev. Samuel Fall
lows, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of
Chicago. who spent some time in the
islands early this year. DIR. Paul

York. discussed the Philippine school
