oysters come nearer in composition
to cows milk than do most other
meats, as all the four kinds of nutri-
ents needed are present in good degree.
oysters have a larger excess of the

other constituents than milk, SO we
balance the ration by addition of

FROM OTHER PENS
IN THE TWILIGHT STATE.

The twilight state is a substitute for
sleep, being induced by means of a
special chair and a lost" instinct, the
development of which is being sought
in a psychological laboratory in the
East, This condition of mind and body
is looked to not only as an offset to
insomnia. but as a time saver. It is
claimed that by being perfectly relaxed
the body will be renewed in half the
time needed by the usual method
If this lost instinct is found it will
be hailed by that element which would
work twenty hours a day. 1t might be
utilized, too-if the chair is rot vital
to tin street cars and in theaters.
The unscientific sleeper. from being
shaken or prodded, could murmur
twilight state,' and be disturbed no
more.
The phrase comes to have a certain
elegance when applied to that period
for the head of the house Immediately
following heavy dinner. You can al
most hear the household whisper: BE
quiet; father is in his twilight state.''
1t cannot be employed by the late
arrival at the office, however. Fancy
his saying: ct beg your pardon, boss,
but I overtwilighted this morning.

KANSAS COANENT
JUGGLING A PLEDGE.

/ A PLEDGE.
| The Democratic. Republican and So
cialist parties in Kansas are all
pledsed to the principle of the initiative
ana referendum, yet it appears to be
remarkable fact that the present
session of the legislature is liable to
adJourn without, effectively fulfilling
that pledge.
The chief responsibility is with the
Democratic party, for that party has a
majority in both branches of the leg
Isiature 1t is within the power of the
Democrats to redeem their party
pledge, regardless of the attitude taken
by the members who belong to other
parties. If they fail their party will be
heid responsible. The Democratic
members who are evidently attempting
to prevent the passage of a proper
initiative and referendum bill need not
thlnk that they can escape responsible
lty by quibbling over details. The in
telnSent public is aware that this is
the method of the old school of poll
tiles Quay and Hanna and Aldrich
and Guggenheir~ and statesmen of their
stripe always favored good reform
measures, but never found one without
some serious objection that prevented
them from supporting it.-Fort Scott
Tribune.
O.
WHO IS BLUFFING?
The Kansas legislature is in a dead
lock on the 1. and r. For which there
IS reason to be thankful. Both bills
are bad, but the senate bill is most
objectionable. 1t provides that the
constitution may be disregarded in
initiated laws. The house bill permits
a minority of those voting at an cleo
ton to enact or reject laws. But there
IS always the danger that one side or
the other is bluffing, and that a sur
render, or compromise will result in
a bad law. Experience demonstrates
that the best and safest way to initiate
laws is through the gradual growth of
easy to change long established meth |
DDS of government, or of doing bust |
ness. What the people finally decide
that they want they will get. Our
methods seem pokey to some over
Jealous reconstructionists, but they
work out better than the quicker
methods used in Mexico, Efficient |
brakes are as necessary on the ma
chinery of government as on an au-
obile.-Leavenworth Post. !
JUST PLAIN SENSE.
Certain worshipful members of the |
eastern press are inclined to glorify |
Mr.. Taft for what they are pleased to |
call his policy of nonintervention in |
Mexico. Mr.. Taft is entitled to credit |
in this much: he has not interviewed. |
The fact is that he declined to take |
the initiative but passed the settlement |
of the question up to congress There |
by he exhibited plain common sense. |
Intervention means conflict. To plunge |
the country into an unnecessary war |
would be to commit wholesale murder. |
Mr.. Taft has so far evaded the re-
would have pursued the
same course: There is no occasion to
laud Mr.. Taft for superior conception
of the situation-Ottawa Republic.

ON THE SPUR
or THE MOMENT
The Pendulum of Time.
BY ROY K MCULTON.

The Pendulum OF I1nle-
L remember back in eighties when
Hank Frisby went to school
Everybody in the village had MIN
doped out fer a fool.
Fer he ives so gol dunn homeH, al
the critics in the place
Said there wasn't no intelligence or
larnin' in his face.
He was TALL rawboned and knock
kneed and as awkward as a COW.
And the gals they always passed him
by and never smiled nohow.
He was bashful and was awkward ana
he seemed to have no vim.
And the fellows round the school house
always poked their fun at him.
Nuthin' much was said about it when
he left our town one day,
Hardly anybody knowed the fact that
he had gone away.
Once in a while they'd mention Hank
and wonder where he went.
But nobody ever found out. fer they
didn't care a cent.
Nigh a dozen years passed by ana
then one day a thing occurred,
And it caused more lively gossip than
the town had ever heard.
Great big auto came a-tearin' down
the main street with a yank,
And the Teller in the back seat givin'
orders-he was Hank.
Hank had been out west and struck
vein of ore both wide and deep,
And he picked up half million while
our town folks was asleep.
When he jumped out of his auto full
of Vigor and of vim,
You should have seen the town folks
all a toadyin' to him.
He put up splendid mansion and he
wed the village BELLE
And he has his dinner evenin's-or at
least that's what they tell.
He's mayor now and owns a mill,
railrud and a bank.
And there's no one in the village who
amt mighty proud of Hank.
