Two Golden Days.

There are two days of the week upon
which and about which 1 never worry,
two care-free days kept sacredly free
from fear and apprehension.
One of these is Yesterday. Yester-
day with all its cares and frets, with
all its pains and aches, all its faults, its
mistakes and blunders, has passed be-
yond the reach of my recall. 1 cannot
undo an act that 1 wrought. cannot
unsay word that I said on Yesterday.
All that it holds of life, of regret and
sorrow, is in the hand of the Mighty
Love that can bring sweet waters out
of the bItterest desert the love that can
make the wrong things right, that can
turn weeping into laughter, that can
give beauty for ashes, the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness, joy
of the morning for the woe of night.
Save for the beautiful memories that
fingers, sweet and tender, like the per
fume of roses, in the heart of the day
that is gone, have nothing to do with
yesterday.
And the other day 1 do not worry
about is Tomorrow. Tomorrow, with
all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its perils, its large promises and poor
performance, its failures and mistakes
is as far beyond the reach of my mas
ters as its dead sister, yesterday. It's
sun will rise in roseate splendor, or be-
yond mask of weeping clouds. But
it will rise. Until then the same love
and patience that held yesterday, and
holds tomorrow, shines with tender
promise into the heart of today. I
have no possession in that unborn day
of grace. All else is in the infinite
keeping of that Infinite Love that holds
for me the treasure of yesterday, the
love that is higher than the stars, wider
than the sky, deeper than the seas.
There is left for myself, then, but
one day of the week-today. Any man
can fight the battles of today. Any
women can bear the burdens of just
one day.-Robert J. Burdette.

Women in Kansas.

An eastern exchange IS of the opinion
that in Kansas, where they strive to
please, the woman ought to have small
cause for complaint if it is possible to
deprive the sex of that inalienable
right.
Here are some of the things a woman
of the Sunfower state may legally do:
Can take back her maiden name af-
ter her husband is dead, without any
legal process or legislative act.
Can keep her own name when she Is
married
Can pursuade her husband to take
her name and give up his family name
if she does not ike it.
Can keep her maiden name and hel
husband can keep his.
Can retain her maiden name for bust
ness transactions and use her husband 5
name for social affairs.
If the wife does not like her own O.
husbands family name they can change
to name that does suit.
AS Kansas probably puts it, a VIC
man there can do almost anything a
man can. That's so. The men cloth
ing provision even permits her 10
scratch a match as some men Go. Only
thing she seems debarred from is ''pos-
ing as a man" which is impossible, of
course for most of them at least.
A woman can wear mems clothing
without any restrictions, except that
she does not pose as a man.
She can vote at every election.
She can hold any office in the state
and run for congress.

Kansas farmers, more than ever be-
fore, realize the value of live stock as
a means of marketing the large quaint
ties of roughage which would other
wise go to waste, points out Edward c..
johnson, dean of the division of extern
sion in the Kansas State Agricultural
college,
''In fact" says Dean johnson,
every year demonstrates in one way
or another that live stock should have
an important place on every farm.
The subject, Live Stock for our Farms, ,
is appropriate for the December farm
and home Institutes. 1t should appeal
not only to every farmer. but to every
stock owner throughout the state
Here are some suggested subjects
for discussion at the institute meetings:
profitable stock classes, breeding, feed
ing, live stock sanitation, and commune
ity breeding.
Shelter, proper feed, and good man
agement are the requisites In bringing
sheep successfully through the winter
season, in the judgement of A. NJ.
Paterson, assistant in animal husbandry
IN the Kansas State Agricultural col
Iege.
While some shelter is necessary, ,,
says Mr.. Paterson, ''close housing is
not advisable, especially with the ewes
IN lamb. Large, dry yards in which
the sheep have plenty of room for exer-
else is the first requirement. Seven
or eight square feet of floor space is
necessary in sheds for an average
sized sheep. The fleece affords suffi-
cient warmth in dry weather, and for
this reason the main need for a shed OF
sheep barn is protection from storms.
On most dry nights the sheep prefer to
be out of doors and viii winter better
if allowed to do so.''
1t is usually more convenient, says
this authority, to have the. feed rack
inside, but some of the roughaee should
. always be fed out of doors. With
breeding ewes, toward lambing time
there Is danger Of injury a erowdins

BEHIND THE CAR

Since money and men have to be in
terpreted together we should be able
to make money and men at the same
time and out of the same material.
Money should not be the autobiography
Of man. After the world has found
cred about in hunting a man" it will
finally adopt the rule of growth given
it by Jesus Christ. Then some man
will jump up and try to claim the honor
of inventing the rule of soul growth
man only grows in soul power-but the
Master will not care. He is looking
for spirit filled men developed according
to his rules.

through narrow gates. 1t is good
plan .to>provide pasture on which they
can run duriug the day, especially in
dry weather.
In wintering sheep to the best advan-
tage, they should be sorted by age, sex
and condition into various lots, or other
wise some are almost sure to get more
or less feed than they need.
Kansas offers excellent opportunities
in sheep raising not fully realized by
the average farmer of the state, say
the experts.

acquainted with Mr.. Miller, we heard
him well spoken Of everywhere and that
he bears a splendid reputation. He has
a clean record and is a real Republican.
He is in with the class of men that do
things all over the district, and we be-
lieve that he will be a successful candi-
date in 1916. We had the pleasure Of
meeting Mr.. Miller at Hays, last week,
and we find he stands high among his
own people, That's pretty good sign
that he is wide awake citizen and one
of whom Ellis county feels proud. The
Republicans , viii make no mistake in
nominating him. He is ably qualified
and has the ear marks Of honor and re-
liability. We feel that when he goes
to the State Senate. we could go to To-

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
WHY THE RABBITS FOOT is
LUCKY,

Fluffy was a fat little white bunny
She was an Angora rabbit, and her fur
was long and silky and her eyes were
very round and very pink, and her lit
tie white nose was always going up
and down, up and down, just as if it
was trying to smell new green lettuce
or some other delicious thing that bun
MES love very much.
1t was long time ago-so long ago
that people didn't know what two
story buildings were, or automobiles,
or many of the things which make
life so nice today. In fact, Fluffy's
mistress lived in a hut on a hill. 1t
had only one door and two little win
dows. one on each side. One day
Fluffy was sitting by the door, eating
large green lettuce leaves. And by
her side was her mistress, her head IN
her hands, crying.
I'm so lonesome" wept the little
girl. 81 want somebody to play with.
When Fluffy heard this she stopped
wiggling her nose and looked up. or
course, Fluffy loved her mistress and
did not like to see her unhappy. AT
ter a while she started to wiggle her
nose again, but anybody who knew
much about Dummies could have told
she was very excited.
That night, after Fluffy's mistress
had gone to bed, the little rabbit stole
out of the yard and ran down the hill
Just as fast as she could. And there.
Just at the bottom, was tall tree,
with hollow in it. Fluffy ran to the
tree and stamped her hind foot three
times and as soon as she did a little
tree fairy sprang out of the hollow.

up and grabbed the bottle.
ooh. send me a playmate, a real
nice playmate, who will always keep
me company" That is what Fluffy's
mistress wished, and as she did so she
took the cork out of the bottle. She
started to spill just a little, but her
hand shook so from excitement that
every bit of that wishing water went
on the floor
Now, it happened that Fluffy, who,
of course, knew all about it, was right
beside her mistress when she was
wishing. So when she saw all the
water going on the floor she started
to run, and as she went her left hind
foot went right into it. But her mis-
tress did not notice, for suddenly she
found a dear little girl, with golden
hair and blue eyes, in her room. 1t
was her wished-for playmate, come to
keep her company as long as she
wanted
AS soon as Fluffy realized what had
happened she ran down the hill again
to the fairy and told her all about it.
THAT will never do" said the fairy,
for if anybody finds that you have
wishing water on your foot they might
kill you to get your left hind leg. But
will help you. l will make the left
hind legs of all rabbits lucky, and so
people won't hurt you, because you are
so pretty"
The fairy did what she said, and to
this day some people believe that the
left hind foot of rabbit is lucky.
