FIND GOOD IN PEOPLE.

A contributor to the May Ameri-
can Magazine says:
"If there isn't some good in every
one, what are they here for?
Anybody can point out anybody
else's bad qualities. If you wish to
distinguish yourself go around point
ing out good qualities.
"Pick out the man whom everyone
dislikes. Select the one you feel
could best be spared from your office
from your circle Of acquaintances,
from the community in which you
live. Ask yourself il there isn't
something good about him.
"Put him on a mental dissecting
table. Cut him to pieces and see
what's in him. Remember-you are
looking for the good. Throw away
the bad in him and forget it. Make
list of his good qualities. 1t will
surprise you how many You car
find.
,"The next time you hear him
criticized tell people the things you
know about him7thep good things
You'll at least be different and you'll
find that it does you more good thar
it does him.
''How would you feel if you knew
that people whenever they talked
about you only talked about what
was bad in you2 You know it,
there, plenty of it, but you'd rather
not have it talked about. It's much
nicer to have only your good points
discussed.
"Give the other fellow the kint
of IA deal you like yourself. If yot
can say nothing good about him
say nothing.
There are mighty few people u
the world we can't say something
good about If we try. The trouble
is, we don't try.
"And yet the more good you flint
in other people, the more good othe
people will find in you"
Women, too, can make this ex
pertinent"

been promoted into the second
grade or who have not completed
the first year work in the city
schools should not apply for admis-
sion to the advanced class.

places blythe teachers. It might be
an accommodation to all concerned
If those having rooms to let and
desiring boarders would file the
same at the office of the county
superintendent. No promise is made
to rent rooms or secure boarders for
anyone but rooms might be rented
by thus making the fact known to
the teachers just where rooms may
be secured. Do not phone to the Of

rooms. Kindly write out facts that
persons renting rooms will likely
wish to know and the chances for
letting the room or rooms will be
greatly increased.

TOLD OF SAM WOOD.

When Colonel Sam Wood was
alive and In his prime he was one
of the most resourceful men on the
stump there was in Kansas, relates
Tom McNeal. At one time when
he was living in Chase county q prop
osition to vote bonds to aid In the
construction of a railroad was up
for consideration. Sam was opposed
to the bonds, while the late Senator
Plumb was for the bond issue. A
meeting was advertised to be held
in Chase county in the interest OF
the bonds. Senator Plumb was to
address the meeting. Colonel Sam
Wood was one of the crowd at the
meeting, and got friend OF his
to suggest his name as chairman OF
the meeting. 1t occurred to the
friends of the bonds that 1t might
be a good plan to make Sam chair
man and in that way shut him off
from mdhlH6 lASht VA "AO 1900
He was accordingly elected chair
man, and, after calling the meeting
to order and stating the object, he
proceeded to make a speech intro
ducing Senator Plumb rs the speak
err. He knew that Plumb had only
about an hour and halrs time. as
he had another meeting billed for
the same afternoon. He started In
on a most eulogistic sketch of Plumb
giving his life history In detail.
Plumb grew uneasy, but Colonel
Wood warmed up to his work OF
praise. He used up the entire hour
and half in his speech of intro
duction, quitting when he knew that
Plumb had no time left in which to
talk. Incidentally, Sam managed
to weave number Of telling argu-
ments against the bonds, and finally
sat down, with the blank, innocent
look on his face of man who felt
that he had performed his duty well

SOUGHT OTHER "REFoRMs"

Major Leonard was sent out to
investigate the federal prison at
Leavenworth of which Deputy War
den Mackey has direct charge, The
Leavenwbrth Post tells what hap
pened:
zone of the things with which
Major Leonard found fault was the
manner In which the prisoners were
sent to and from their meals. He
thought their marching was not
military enough, and determined to
correct the method. Therefore. after
MONDAY meal the third day after
his arrival he took command of
the situation and after informing
the prisoners of what he expected
of them, gave an order to arise.
There was immediate scuffling and
other disorder. Knives and forks
and tin cups were ratified on the
tables, feet we're scuffled and there
were shouts and jeers. The situa-
tion finally became so serious that
the investigator stood aside and re-
quested Deputy Warden Mackey to
take charge. Mr.. Mackey stepped
forward and raised one hand, where.
upon there was immediate silence
among the hundreds Of prisoners in
the room. The men then were
marched from the dining han ia
their cells in the manner which al.
ways has been customary. There
after Major Leonard turned his at.

THE BOY ON THE FARM.

Here is some sound advice from
Milt Irwin in the Mcpherson Demo-
crat:
To keep your boy on the farm
may require some skill, but 1t can
be done, usually. ] know several
who have adopted the following
course and 1t has proven successful:
Allow time for pleasure and recre-
alton. All work and no play makes
not only dull boy, but dissatis-
fled boy as we'll, and temptation
where labor and pleasure share the
hours lures from the farm. Consult
him; give him to understand that
your welfare is his welfare. If he
has an idea which he wants to put
in operation, let him do so; If he
fails he, will be convinced; other
wise he will chafe under restraint
If he claims colt, steer, hog
see to it that the proceeds are plac'
ed to his credit. Make him conf
dant; make home attractive; give
him rein on a small scale to bul
and sell; take him into partnership
do lots of things you are not doini
and the boy will stay with you.

GOOD BREAD WITHOUT FLOUR.

Bread without flour, and yet made
of wheat, does not seem reasonable;
but over in France, where the peo-
pie try to get all the good from raw
materials without injuring some OF
the best qualities, they have found
a plan of making bread from ordin-
airy, wheat without having the grain
ground into flour.
The wheat is thoroughly washed
and allowed to soak in warm water
for several hours, and then 1t Is
placed in Q device that brushes It,
as the mass passes downward, from
coarse plup to fine paste.
The device is so constructed that
series of screw threads pass over
other threads in opposite directions
the threads becoming smaller as the
mass passes downward, and when II
comes from the machine it is
paste. This, with the salt and
yeast that is added before the grain
lis started through the new mach
inc, produces a light sponge, and
it is baked into cakes and loave'
that are pronounced most excellent
by the most expert bakers of the
country.-San Francisco Chronicle

NO REST FOR NEWSPAPER MEN

A Boston dispatch tells up that
Governor Foss has signed bill
which assures one day of rest a
week to ali employees in mercantile
and Industrial establishments lex
cept newspaper workers, janitors,
bakers, drug clerks and persons car
ing for fires and machinery"
This is a fine compliment to the
excepted classes, members of which
appear as a glorious company OF
martyrs to the common good. Per-
sons of other occupations may be OF
some use once in while but 1t Is
comparatively easy to get along
without them. II they are not ex-
actly trifling and of no account they
are merely required to lend a hand
occasionally when they are not TAX
ing vacations, while the rich and
rare people must be there all the
time to keep the fires going and to
put them out.
1t should be said. however, In
the interest Of. truth and fairness
that most Of those who are enrolled
in the various orders of merit are
allowed few moments of repose

Comparing the year a1912 with
1888, the government statisticians
find that the death rate in this coun-
try per million of population, due to
murder, has increased 175 per cent.
The death rate due to trespassing
has increased AZ per cent. The
death rate to passengers due to ac-
cidents to railway trains has de-
creased So per cent. The reduction
of the death rate to passengers is
attributed to the vigorous caution
campaigns which the railroads have
carried on the year around, educat-
ing employees engaged in the hand
ling of trains with view of trans
porting safely persons entrusted to
their care. Suggestion has been
made that the employment Of more
efficient methods in educating chill
dren in the Importance Of obedience
to law would in a generation change
the death rate due to murder from
an increase to decrease. sugges'
tIon also is made that the enactment
of laws to prohibit trespassing would
change the death rate due to thai
cause from an increhse to q de.
crease. Only nine states In ths
Union have adequate trespass laws.

Herbert Kaufman says: You can't

You won't seem right to any II

Viewpoints aren't uniform. Stand

There isn't a living soul with whom

Even IL you tried, it's impossible
for you to accept every issue and re-

So how can you hope. even under
the most favorable OF auspices, to
have everybody, like you or be like

You must think for yourself-you
must respond to your own intuitions
you must reason your own way
ahead.
Your career can be guided by on
ly your personal observations and
convictions.
The greater your force of charac-

demonstrate their differing charac-
teristics. Is
If you're upright and just and
sane and, clean and capable, 1t isn't
matter with your own volition to
gain endorsement of warped and
erratic and mean and criminal, and
brutal men. You must take sides ir
society; and even among your chos
en- associates, you must stand pre-
pared for constant disagreement.
You must stab your advancing fee
against jealousy and bigotry ant
rascality.
And the more decidedly you pro
gress, the more vehemently you'll
conflict those who dislike you. Yol
can't attain without pain--you can
secure your rights without hundred
of others believing that you hav
interefered with their rights.
A useful life can't be entirel
