he saw it when he got up. The fact
was, he was in a hurry to get to bed

her?
There is another thing that wish
to speak OF, now that 1 happen to
think of it. Most women pride them
selves on the sma1lness and trimness
of their feet. You seem to have NO
pride in that direction. II your feet

You see those shoes?" she queried.

they cost $3.50, and have worn them
for six months. During that time you
have had three pairs of IS shoes, but
you can't afford better for me! While
other ladies won't look at shoes at less
than Sc, I must look for a price to fit
a working girl. If you will kindly
lend me a pair of your shoes will

WATERS URGES FACTORIES.
n. S. A. c. President Addresses X.
Knife and Fork Club Friday Night.

Kansas City. Mo-. Dec. 12.-Extend-
ed development of manufacturing in
the United States and especially in
the middle west, was advocated by
DIR. Henry jackson Waters. president
of the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, in an address before the knlfe
and Fork club here Friday night.
Large expectations of manufactured
products are much more desirable
than raw materials, he pointed out.
But, before we can obtain our due
trade in a foreign country" DR.. wa
tiers said, I'VE must learn to speak the
language Of the people and must at
least pretend to like their kind OF gov
eminent and not be perpetually max
ing comparisons which reflect on
their country"
The middle west as a manufactur-
ing center was urged by Dr. Waters
because he said 81 per cent of the raw
material used in manufacturing in the
United States comes from the farm.
He said that forty per cent of the an
nual income of Kansas and 81 per
cent of that of Missouri come from
factories.

Mr.. Bowser had cracked the glass
himself a month before, but why say
SO and hear him deny it? He fell into
his chair at the table with a growl, and
as Mrs. Bowser had planned an extra
good dinner she hoped the worst had
passed. It hadn't even begun, how
ever.
What have you got here-an old
boot?' he demanded, as he started to
carve the chicken, and stopped with
knife and fork held aloft.
It's young and tender chicken

humbly replied.
Chicken. Ell? Well. never should
have believed itv'
1t was a dinner fit for any man to
sit down to. but Mrs. Bowser realized

worse by argument, and therefore held
her peace.

Mr.. BoWSER INQUIRIES
And Then Mrs. Bowser Promptly
Replies.

A block from his house, as he went
home the other evening, Mr.. Bowser
stopped at his family drug store. He
had been feeling unusually good all
day. but all at once his right ear began
to twitch.
Was it the forerunner of paralysis?
Was he going deaf?
Did St. Vitus dance begin this way?
He thanked heaven that he was SO
close to first aid, and he entered the
store and said to the druggist as care
fully as he could:

stood on the corner for a minute he
said to himself:

Mrs. Bowser was in the hall to well

turned On her with:
Woman, why don't you gather up all

There was only one extra hat on the
tree and that belonged to Mr.. Bowser.
and he had hung it there. but Mrs.
Bowser was too polite to dispute him.
She led the way to the dining room
and he scuffled along after her, every
footstep showing that he was out OF
sorts and meant to raise a row. Before
sitting down to the table he looked
around. and his eye happened to notice
a crack in the glass over one of the
pictures. With a scowl he exclaimed:
