small stir until some time later its

began. No other American book ex-

Cecil Rhodes was not much Of a
dresser. When premier Of Cape Colony,
he usually wore a flannel suit, which
badly wanted cleaning, and a dilapi-
dated SLOUGH hat. His successor in
ofnce, Sir Gordon Sprigg, who wore
a black frock coat even In the hottest
weather, once made an effort to en-
force the wearing OF respectable"
dark clothes in the Cape parliament.
But Rhodes would not have 1t. He
said in parliament that II he could
not help to legislate in comfortable
clothes he would not help at all, and
he thought the members would agree
with him. They did.

We are now entering upon our sixth year in the Undertaking business
in Kansas City and we take this method of expressing III deep appeda-
ton of the confidence and respect that the many families have shown in

same tender care al in the home. In the future as in the past, our time and
energy shall always be spent in properly preparing the body, giving al e-
preston to the face and restoring the life like appearance, for a body prop

will be as low as can be obtained any place for the same quality of ma

 sssetter" dog you know is used by hunters of birds to run around in the fields and woods ahead of the hunter and find out where the birds are. When the dog locates a bird he does not scare it but stands very still with his nose pointed right toward the bird. After a.. minute the dog lies down so that the hunter may not hit him when he shoots at the bird.
 Albert took Bingo out into the woods to teach. him how to hunt and very soon he had the dog so he would
 point, as they call it. It probably came natural to him but Albert thought he was real smart
 They were walking through the woods when, all of a sudden, the dog stopped short and stuck his nose out Albert didn't see anything at first, but soon big hawk flew out of the un- derbrush and a1ighted on the limb of a tree over A1bertss head.
 Albert picked up a big stick and threw it and his aim was so true the hawk came tumb1ing down right in front of the dog. Bingo snatched it up and began to tear 1t to pieces but Albert grabbed it away from him, for you know a hunting dog must be

DO AS YOU WOULD BE DONE BY

Dear Miss Ls1bbey:
 s am q girl or twenty-two who would like your advice. have a chum. very sweet girl, wbo met a young man while she was away last summer and has correspouded with him ever since. Lately he came on to visit her-and met me at her house. From the first he seemed to greatly smitten with me. He wrote me a note saying he would be very much pleased to call on me, but added. .sI would ask that you do not let Fanny know about 1t. My chum,s mother told my folks that he asked Fanny to marry him by letter and she con- sented, and the day is set I asked him if that was true and he said. Don't let that bother you" But that was not saying whether it were true or not-was it? He called and seemed very fond of me. I am sure could get him. What ought to do. T. want to be honorable.
 ETTA-
 You have not been either faonorabIes or loyal in your treatment of the girl friend who trusts and respects you. The fck1e lover in this affair is not worth consideration The wonder is that such male hirts can get girls to lend an ear to their false love- making, realizing it to be such. A man who is false to one girl can be untrue to another. Have nothing fur ther to do with this fellow. It would not, make matters better by telling Fanny.
