and he brings the atmosphere of a
new world into her monotonous life.
He tells her of new scenes, new peo-

Whatever affairs of the heart the
stranger may have passed through in
his evolving period, she has not been
a witness thereof or a confidant of
the other maidens in the case. as she
has been with her childhood's COM
panions.
When he tells her that he loves her
she does not recall the fact that two
or three years ago he was the devoted
cavalier of her sister. or her cousin,
or her rival in the high school.
The accident of their meeting, the
day they first looked into each others
eyes. the hour they first spoke-all
these incidents are thrilling and won

THE CATCH.

(John Kendrick Bangs in Scribner's
Magazine.)
I've enjoyed the chase today
Through the woodland wild
Fortune in a lavish way
Hath my heart beguiled.

Better than I thought,
Fat and teeming it doth swell
With the things 1 sought.
Songs of birds and songs of trees,
Gentle whisperings of the breeze.
Splendid mess of mountain air.
Odors of wild flowers fair.
Happy thoughts that grew apace
AS I watched the rillets race.
Wondrous pictures in the skies.
Vistas of soft for tired eyes.
Hints of peace and hints of rest
Gorgeous colors in the west
Stores of gold flung far and wide
Ger the cleaning countryside.
AS the sun smiled on the scene.
Lighting up the forest green.
o the JOY, the glad delight,
Oh the taste of bliss.
Making homeward through the nigh

SMALL TOWN GIRLS.

In an interesting letter which dis
cusses to some length the follies OF
my own sex. the weakness of his
question of interest is propounded by
a man of culture.
After reviewing the numerous ira
gedies which have occurred from time

Of young women in villages and inte-
rior towns, through love affairs with
strangers, the correspondent says:

Roads and Cost of Living.

NSuDhA San l-llt I1dSdLllt.l
Until very recently the vast major
ity of people failed to understand that
the good road is not a mere country
dwellers convenience. or the means
to motorists pleasure, but that it is an
actual economic necessity That it
costs the farmers of this country
more for a 10-mile haul of produce
from farm to town than it does to
ship that produce from New York to
London, is a fact. That it costs far
mers abroad from one-half to one
tenth as much to haul a ton a mile
on a road as it does the farmers of
this country. is another fact. That
practically every pound of flesh and
bushel of wheat we consume must
travel over road at least once and
sometimes twice before we eat it, is
third fact The three are the an
swer to one part of the question,
why does it cost so much to live?"
Some one has to pay for the deprecia-
ton in value of horses and vehicles
caused by poor roads. Some one has
to pay for the extra time it takes to
haul cotton to market when two
mules are required to haul two bales
ten miles in one day when on good
road the same two mules could haul
twenty-four bales in the same time
with the same effort.

NOT QUITE RIGHT.

A story is told Of a couple of Cali
fornia tourists in Spain who could
not speak the language, and conse-
quently had some difficulty in making
known their wants.
One day they came to a wayside
inn and tried to obtain some meat
roast beef for choice; but nobody
could understand them.
What are we to do?" asked one Of
them despairingly.
"I know" said the other, ray of
hope appearing. "Ill draw a picture
of a cow Then they'll understand"
He made rough sketch of COW,
put "2" beneath it and handed it to
the waiter, who instantly smiled to
show that he understood and went
off to execute their order.
A few minutes later he returned
with two tickets for a local bull
fight

YOUTHFUL CYNICS.
(From the London Graphic }

(From the London Graphic)
So topsyturyy is the time that while
our old men are growing younger
every day the boys of England are
born tired and begin life as old and
blase fellows There is no older man
in the world than the Eton boy of a
certain type. His cynicism at 13 is
shocking to the grandpa who tips him
with a gold piece. There Is no older
old woman in the world than the high
school girl, who has read all the books
barred by the library censor and is
careful about the books her mother
reads. AS for many Of our so-called
young men who sit in the windows of
st. James street clubs, wondering why
life is such bore. and who take forty
winks after luncheon because life is
so beastly strenuous, they haven's be-
gun to enjoy the wine of youth.

TO ELECT CAPTAIN.
Topeka Highs Have Three Worthy OF
the Honor

The selection Of a captain for next
years football team is the question
that will soon be before the local high
school squad. While nothing is def
nitely settled, it is nearly certain that
Sargent, quarterback, will be chosen
as captain for 1914. Sargent, now a
sub-junior, has played on the team for
three years and is perhaps better fitted
for the position than any other mem
Der Of the team. Most of the other
members Of the eleven will leave high
school before next year and the names
of Sargent, Shannon and Cofman
have been mentioned as successor to
Captain Willard. Shannon has played
for three years and is one of the strong
linesmen Of the team. Conman Is play
ing his first year Of high school foot
bail but has made good" at halfOack.
The prospects for Missouri Valley
championship eleven for next year Is
good, although most of the men
will graduate in January or Juns. The
substitutes for this year will make a
formidable team when the Valley high
school conference is decided Conman-
Sargent Shannon, Murphy. Baker.
Madden and others Of the squad will
be out next year. There will ilso be
other high school students who played
well on other teams this year: Perry,
Hope, Wilson, GODDARD. Billings. Ktene
and Stewart .
Only two more games will be played
this year. Usage City at Washbrrn

TENER MAY ACCEPT.
Executive Can Head National League
and Retain State Office.

Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. 19.-While Gov
ernor John K. Tener, of Pennsylvania.
has given no public intimati0n as to
what he intends to do, it is believed
by those who know him best, that he
will accept the presidency of the Ma
tional Baseball League, which was Of
fered him today by a majority of the
club presidents Of that organization.
Every club in the league with the ex-
ception Of st. Louis whose president
was unable to attend, was represented
in the meeting at which the offer was
made. Before the club presidents met
the governor. it was said, that the
only questions to be settled were salary
and the term Of years. It was said the
magnates had decided to ask governor
to accept the place for term Of either
three or five years at a salary of $25,-
coo and that he take office at the ex-
piration OF the term Of President Thos.
j. Lynch, which will be this winter.
If Governor Tener decides to accept,
there is nothing to prevent him from
holding both the governorship and the
league presidency according to his sec
rotary. Walter n. Gather. His term as
governor will expire in IA months.
The Pennsylvania legislature will not
meet again until about the time he re-
tires from Office. consequently in the
normal course Of events, the most try
ing part of his term is over.
