Although quotations may, no doubt,

happy application of a thought another
writes a. in it's first conception" This
being true, we use for our introduc-
ton the words OF T~rollope: with ref
erence to this habit of reading, l make
bold to tell you that it is your pass
to the greatest, the purest, and the
most perfect pleasure that God has
prepared for his creatures" Reading
makes it possible for us to fill our
hives with honey and wax, and to
think the sterner thoughts and to feel
the possibly more wholesome feelings
of men whose material substances
have vanished like a dream.
Learning to be an actual reader is
a more difficult thing than we imagine.
What and how do we read are OF pri-
mary importance, both with reference
to how do we read" Investigators
claim that actual reading is dene dur

no other time. While the eye is still
it can see and recognize four letters
certainly and five at most, eve when
they do not form words. But when
they form a sequence of words, sever

child Acts suraeon,s Role.

Sarah Shaffer, thirteen years old, Of
Los Angeles, Cal, developed into a
little heroine when her fiveyear-old
sister fell on the sidewalk while at
play and shattered her elbow. DR..
Edward G. Wiley, chief police sur
geon, explained patiently over the tele-
phone how the splint should be put
on, and Sarah made such a good Job
Of 1t as to win the admiration Of all
who saw the tiny patient when she ar
rived at the receiving hospital with
her little amateur nurse. The chill
dren's father is at the county hospital
and their mother went to visit him.
Maybelle fell and broke her arm. Sa-
rah called up the receiving hospital,
but owing to the distance was advised
to call n of the district doctors. She
could raise none, and again called the
receiving hospital. Doctor Wiley told
Sarah what to do to relieve the baby's
pain. while the ambulance raced out
to the Shaffer home. and Sarah obeyed
Instructions to the letter.

what we read when we consider
profit as well as pleasure. We derive
pleasure by being discriminating in
u reading and by reading faithfully
and with Jul best attention, all kinds
of things we have a real interest in.
We read various histories and auto
biographies with profit in that We get
a knowledge of the ~regretable Incl
dents of the early lives, of what acts
We're wise and good in order to repeat
them. We emphasize the pleasure and
profit derived from reading because
OF the system we obtain not given in
conversation. What is said upon a
subject is to be gathered from a hun
dred people. The parts which a man
gets in conversation are at such a
distance from each other that he never
attains to a full view.
Not until we have finished a great
work that leaves us in a state of mus
ing do we realize that our reading mat.
ter of today gives us an opportunity
quite beyond any generation behind
us. Yet, 1t is a fact greatly to be de,
plored that when 1t comes to putting
many Of our people to sleep the con
tents of a irstclass book, magazine
or newspaper will be as successful as
any drug used for that purpose. The
truth is we r not half awake yet.
But why not fully awake and partake
Of the intellectual feast? We will?
Then let us suggest whit Charles
Lamb, that men should say grace not
only owe the table, spread with whole
some food, but also over the table
spread with good books, magazines
and newspapers.

C~onspicuously before the public's
eyes is Theo. Smith, our druggist, who
is located on the busy corner Of 18th
and Tracy. If you belong to that
class Of men and women who think
and do things, don't ever be guilty of
saying that you have never visited this
up-to-date store. His latest creation
is the Tango Sundae on a Blazer, 10
cents. This is a combination of the
best fruits and fruit syrups incorpo-
rated with ice cream and capped with
angel cake, served in gold and silver
containers under a bamboo tree among
cleaning electric lights and before
the breeze of an electric fan. This is
irresistible.
The following is a list Of distin
guished guests and popular society
people who have visited and declared
the Tango Sundae to be the most de-

A SWEET rHouehr.

In the silent slumbers OF night
When my soul is at sweet rest,
And airy sleep struggles with light,
live In the state OF the blest.
Soothing are my dreams and never
sleeping thought
Still intoxicates and leads me on
and on,
Every sweet treasure Of the day is
r%ebrought
AS the moon rebrings the glory of
the sun.
All! this ever present mind. who
hides
From it's glory. or It's encompassing
brace?
IN earth as in Heaven mind abides,
Enriching al life. all time, all space.

properly be called a big hit with the
Masons in her address before the
Grand Lodge last week. Now if her

1t is well that the Baptist people
so ardently believe that God moves
in mysterious ways His wonders to
perform" Otherwise they might
think that the devil has something
to do with the organized remonstrance
against the coming of their theological
school to Kansas City. OF course, the
objections are all thoroughly religious
and scriptures can be cited for their
validity.
