THAT W. |. TALK
Topeka and Wichita Both Want
Out Of League.
Bone-Headed Business Is Re
spOnsible for Conditions.

The future of the Western league is
all the talk over the baseball circuit
now that '-,e Wi ld's series has passed
out of the limelight.
The advertising of the Topeka fran
chise for sale and the rumor that
Wichita owners will dispose OF their
Western league. holdings il they can
get anything like what they are worth
are the big topics that are being dis
cussed, and it is probable that the
fate Of these clubs will be definitely
decided at the conclave OF the Ma
tional Association Of Minor Leagues
at Omaha November 10.
The disposal of the Topeka and
Wichita fran hises would put Kansas
out Of the Western league and would
probably be followed by an attempt
to built up the old Western associa-
ton.
Many local fans think 1t would be
a wise move for Wichita and Topeka

Education In German

Education in Germany takes no d.
rect interest in the formation Of char
acter. In its highest branches it does
not get beyond a crushing grind to
turn out a properly informed prod
uct to meet state requirements The
results are bad, but it says much for
tie inherent soundness Of the Ger
man constitution that they are not
worse How sound that constitution
is may be seen when it gets the chance
to develop in Britain or America. It
is a mistake to look on the German
as a flabby individual who will take
on any national complexion. He does
not assimilate. He develops and makes
good. But he sticks to the land Of
his adoption because it has given
him freedom to be himself. The aver
age German in the Fatherland is I'M
conscious of his servitude, however.
1t does not occur to him to doubt
that to learn and to obey are the chief
aims Of his life Hence he certainly
does not know great deal about lit
erature, art, music and all the 'olo-
gies" and 'isms" Of the dictionary,
but with it all he has nothing of that
culture which is the brightest fea-
ture of our own educational system.
His learning is carefully slowed away
in compartments; when he wants to
display it, he unpacks it like a ped
dler's bag. 1t has not become a part
Of himself, modified or ripened his
character; there is nothing suaVe or
gracious about it.-London Eyeryman.

"a Forgotten When There Is

The Enule family escutcheon has the
bar sinister across it, but he has
nevertheless occupied a secure posi-
ton in society since Biblical times
and nobody knows how much longer.
In the biographical dictionaries his
personal achievements may not be
mentioned but he is entrenched IN
the Encyclopedia Britannica between
Gerardus Johannes Mulder, a great
Dutch chemist, and Elisha Milford, an
eminent Episcopal minister and
philosopher
That is saying good deal for an
animal of modest pretensions who is
popularity believed to cherish
heartier regard for the Afro-American
than for others in this part of the
world, and is said never to give his
entire confidence to the white man
as an associate.
In war the mule plays with high
credit the role of Kipling's Gunga Din.
He is bullyragged. He is blasphemed.
He is belabored. But he is always on
hand when needed, and he is always
needed. In peace he is sportive.
His humor is sometimes mistaken
for spitefulness when he kicks we'll

sky-winding into the hereafter with
his body not far behind. But Wnen
it comes to pulling load, uphill or on
the level subsisting upon limited
menu, and starving the veterinarian,
he puts it all over his handsomer and
more aristocratic cousin, the horse.
Wherever the footing meets the re-
quirements of an able bodied goat the
mule can go and is willing to tote

weather proof, and his expectancy of
life is higher than that of thorough

Lammas pay in Ennland.

Lammas, as August I is popularity
called, was formerly our national fes-
tival. 1t remains an important date,
not only in Scotland, where, this is a
quarter day, but in many parts OF
rural England, where the pasture of
'Lammas lands" belongs after Au-
gust 1 to all parishioners who draw
smoke. not through pipes, but chin
news. The word ''Lammas" is a cor
ruption of Loaf Mass, so-called because
on this day it was once customary to
present at church a loaf made from
the new corn. Perhaps some relic Of
this custom still fingers among Sus-
sex farmers, who try to get loaf
baked from the new wheat before the

Fancies in Weathercocks.

Weathercocks seem to date from
early times. According to Ducange,
the cock was originally devised as an
emblem of clerical vigilance. The
large tail of the cock was adapted
to turn with the wind Many churches

saints to whom they are dedicated.

Various Earthquake Sounds.

Earthquake sounds are described as
variations of heavy rumbling, so low
in pitch as almost to be more felt than
heard Tin many cases inaudible to per
sons who are deaf to very low tones),
and belonging to one or another of the
following types: The passing of wag-
ons, thunder, wind, the fall of a load
of stones, the fall of a heavy body, an
explosion, or some other miscellane-
Gus sound. In strong earthquakes the
sound area occupies a central region
Ton an average two-thirds) OF the dis
turbed region; in moderate earth
Quakes the two areas are approximate
ly of the same magnitude; while in
many slight earthquakes the sound
area is larger than the disturbed area,
As a rule the beginning of the sound
precedes the shock, and the end of
the sound follows the end of the
shock.

THINKS MODERN ETHICS LOW
Dr. Madison Peters Emphasizes His
Assertion by a Story That
Points & Moral.

Rev DR.. Madison Peters, who for
several years has been working to
reduce the cost of living. and who
has frequently sold vegetables in the
streets of New York for this cause,
said In q recent address to a New
York Housewives league:
Il viii tell you how to buy SIS hats
for three dollars; $500 pianos for
500; 15-cent beans for three cents
eliminate the middleman. I believe,
after careful investigation, that the
cost of living in the United States is
lower than in any other country at
the point of production. The consum-
er should. therefore, buy at the point
OF production.
And by buying thus we would
greatly benefit the producer, who is
now treated none too well by the
middleman. His honest industry Is
not rewarded as it should be.
I'VE are too apt to belittle honest
industry We are like the young i'm
