When you present a check at the

be as careful as the Cashier at Bank.

JustA Moment
DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.
Compiled by John q. Quinius,
(The Sunshine MANI

What II my Lord should call for me
tonight,
If He should say:
Come out, o soul, into the solemn
light
Along the spirit way;
Come out unsandaled, for the holy
place
Is near the bound that mortal eye may
trace,
Come, and unshrinking meet Me face
to face"
What if my Lord should stand and
question me;
If He should say:
Where is the talent entrusted thee
One distant day?
How blooms the plot of fallow ground
lent?
How hast thou used the sun and rain
1 sent?
How we're the golden hours Of spring
time spent?"
What II my Lord should sternly speak
to me;
If He should say:
Bring back, tonight, my own with
usury
Since that far day;
And show what fruit clings to the
tender stem,
Thine erring brothers whom all
tongues condemn,
What hast thou done in Christly love
for them? ?"
All, If my Lord should stand with pa
tient eyes.
And question me
Outside the flaming gates of paradise;
With bended knee,
With lips upon his nail-pierced feet
close pressed,
could but moan 81 love thee most
and best;
I think that have failed in all the
rest,
Oh. pity mel"

Stories from the European Firing Line
Rr 1he united Press.

BY The United Press.
LONDON, Oct. 9.-That the stage
still plays an important part in sus-
tanning public spirit and forwarding
movements for the aid OF the Red Cross,
has been fully demonstrated here by
Sir Herbert Trees revival of Drake"
From the first performance, the pat
riotic scenes portrayed in this drams
have aroused the audiences to tremen-
dous outbursts of patriotic enthusiasm.
Every night the vast audiences gather
in His Maiesty's theatre and wildly cheer
the stirring scenes. The effect of these
demonstrations is being witnessed by
heavy increases in the donations 70
relief funds by many recruits from
among the young men theatre-goers.
Sir Herbert produced the play and
gave his services without fec. His lead
lady, Miss Phyllis Nelson Terry, also do
mated her services and the author waiv-
ed all royalties.
The close of each performance wit
nesses the inspiring sight of the audi
encc standing to join the players in
singing "God Save the King"
LONDON. Oct. Great Britain has
declared war on Germany's trade and
detailed plans are already under way 10
replace all articles bearing the familiar
"Madc in Germany" trade mark with
goods made by English manufacturers
All foreign consuls and representatives
have been instructed TO supply full de-
tails and samples of imports and exports
of Germany.
Governors Of the various British do
minions have been supplied with samples
Of articles that can be manufactured in
their territories and factories are being
ordered into commission for the supply
of this trade.
TOXIC. Oct 0.-Since the beginning ot
the war between Germany and Japan
there has been what appears to be a
systematic effort to create IN feeling be
tween Japan and the United States
This has been manifested in many
ways, hut particularly through the pub
| lication of demands which the United
States would make of Japan, and Oi
American sympathy for Germany.
A report that the United States had
sold several warships to Germany
was given wide publication and for
a few days, created violent anti
American sentiment. II is generally
believed that Russia is fostering this
attitude in an attempt to weaken
Japan by bringing her into a wal
| with the United States.
I LONDON. Oct 9.-Scores of babies
born during the present war will beaI
for life names inflicted upon then
/ by parents carried away with patriot
ism or wishing to keep fresh events
in history by the children whose
names will recall the events. Among
the child insurance registrations re-
Gently we're: "Alsace Lorraine Jones'
and "LOuvaine Nichols"
A similar epidemic prevailed dur
ing the South African war. This
prompted a song which became pop
ular and a chorus of which went:

TOXIC. Oct 9-For the past two
weeks. a large part of the Japanese
oificialdom has been busy announcing
to the spirits of the many Imperial
ancestors the declaration of war on
Germany. The most important of
these ceremonies was held at the I'm
perial sanctuary in the palace at To-
lSio. conducted by the Emperor him
self. Special messengers were dis
patched TO the Grand Shrines and the
Tombs OF Emperors Jimmu and Mejii
The Japanese firmly believe that these
ceremonies make them invinclble In
war owing to the aid given them by
their ancestors. Most Japanese books
dealing with the Russo-Japanese war
give the Imperial Ancestors credit for
Japan's victory in that conflict.

THc sTATE,s PRISON.

Professor Blackmar's report was
scarcely necessary to inform KAnsans
that their penitentiary. n to its
buildings and equipment, II = d.
grace to . civilised community.
They have 30 been told on numerous
occasions during the past few years-
Each Of the last four or five warden.
has given eloquent testimony along
this line in annual reports- Special
commissions to investigate the prison
have done likewise. In fact, the fas-
timony to this end has been unani-
nous from every one who has had an
occasion to express an opinion IN the
premises. But the legislature. at III
recent sessions, has dismissed the I'M.
portant matter with little more than
= wave Of its hand.
This has been done, no doubt. be-
cause Of the expense involved In tho
rebuilding Or rehabilitation OF tne
prison. There has been . persistent
cry in Kansas Of late for lower taxes
which il a chronic attitude wherever
humans are taxed. But 1t has become
more pronounced than usual hero OK
late, and probably because 10 many
campaigns for state ONCE have been
wased on that slogan ana because OF
the promises made by candidates Tor
ONCE that they would cut down state
expenditures. In an endeavor to de-
liver these goods, the members Of the
LEGISLATURE are at their wits end 20
provide the revenues that the varied
and increasing activities OF the state
need without authorizing the under
taking of any new work like the re-
building Of the prison. no matter now
necessary 1t may be.
What Professor Blackmar has TO
say about the penitentiary must oe
accepted, however, a. the last woro
on the subject. And the time has
come for Kansas to meet the prison
situation face to face ana act accord
inely. For a state that processes TO
be SO progressive and decent In al
things, and so full Of the milk OF hu-
man kindness, Kansas can Ill anoro
longer to maintain a penal institution
that IL scarcely q 1T place for the

tence to the Kansas penitentiary I'M

tence to death, although capital pun

the upbuilding OF strong and vigorous
people. the American Red Cross
through its nursing service. Is carry
ing into the homes Of the people such

prevention Of illness, and make It pos
sible for women to render intelligently
such care to the sick in their own
homes as may safely be entrusted to
them.
To encourage the employment Of Wis

and towns. but in the vast stretches
OF country where the services Of q
physician are difficult to obtain and
where trained nurses are now UNI
