shin guards when 1 pick it, because
the ears will be SO heavy that if
should drop one, I sure would smash

the other replied: We'll. Bill, that's
nothing. If the weather stays good
and the frost holds off as you say I
will have to crack the kernels of my

Pushed Into 1t.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

"I feel 1 am being pushed into it
and don't like to do things when I'm
forced to-
That is the explanation an acquaint-
ance of mine gave the other day for
not offering the use of her automobile
to friend to whom that loan would
have meant great deal. This friend
had undoubtedly been trying to put
her in a position where she would
have to offer the machine.
Horrid of the friend, you say.
oh, yes, of course. But you see
she is poor and she knows the loan of
the machine would mean nothing to
the other woman, who is comfortably
off, and to her it meant the saving of
several dollars. She didn't see just
where she was going to get those dol
lars and so she did it. Poverty does
make people do horrid things some
times. One would think they'd have
some sense of decency and stop being
poor.
Incidently the woman who wouldn't
be pushed was poor once herself.
But then that's the sort of thing one
forgets quickly as possible.
Another acquaintance of mine who
has recently married has an unmar-
ried friend. A man whom she knows
seems somewhat interested in the I'M
married friend and the unmarried
friend recriprocates and is eager for
opportunities to meet him. The young
wife made several opportunities and
then she began to feel that she was
being pushed into it. Whereupon she
baked. She didn't want to be forced
to help them.
Her way may be better" I heard
a young mother say of advice from
an older woman; but I'm not going
to be forced into doing things against
my will"
This quick objection to being forced
into things is instructive with most
of us. Our spines stiffen at the first
suggestion Of a push.
But because it is instructive is it
necessarily something to be proud of ?
1 think the people of whom 1 have
spoken were proud of it and / think
most of us fancy that an objection to
being pushed shows we have wills OF
our own.
suppose it does and yet-we11
let's don't forget that there is GER

objects to being pushed. Few persons

QUAKER NEGOTIATIONS.

Even good resolutions are apt to get

You never can tell. Even Swiss

NABOTH'S VINEYARD.

What lies behind the fever of nego-
tiation that has for weeks been throb-
bling through the Balkan peninsula,
from Bucharest to Athens? asks Chas.
Johnston, in the North American Re
view for September, and he goes on:
The answer is extremely simple. 1t all
turns on a bit of territory that we
used to call Macedonia, but which one
might more graphically call the Ma
both's vineyard" OF the Near East.
The passage is worth quoting: "Ahab
spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me
thy vineyard, that 1 may have it for
a garden of herbs, because It is near
unto my house: and I will give thee
for it better vineyard;or if it seem
good to thee, I will give thee the
worth of it in money. And Naboth
said 10 Ahab, The Lord forbid it me
that I should give the inheritance OF
my fathers unto thee" In the bad old
days of Turkish tyranny, men of three
nations were scattered about this Ma
boths vineyard of Macedonia: Bull

rather fine distinction has been
drawn between the severance of dip

of war; writes Thomas F. Logan in
Leslie's, and he continues: The dis
tinct impression has been given to the
public that the former course could
be adopted without involving the lat
ter, but as this question is apt to recur
from time to time, it might be we'll
to state the fact that diplomatic rela-
tions have never been severed, with
out war as a consequence. Moore's
Digest, one of the leading authorities
on international law, sets forth not \
single case where the severance of
diplomatic relations has not been fol-
lowed by war. 1t has been pointed ont
that diplomatic negotiations were
broken off with Mexico, without the
sequence of war. This, however. is not

bassador to the United States was not
given his passports. 1t should also be
explained that a government may
hand an ambassador his passports, be-
cause of some personal objection to
him, but this is by no means equiva-
lert to a severance of diplomatic rela-
tions. The nation to which an ambas-
sador is accredited always has the say
in such matters and no offense is TAX

are broken off, the challenge to war

THE FREE FAIR SUCCESS.

| Topeka's free fair undertaking has
passed from an experiment into an ex-
perience the value of which has been
proven in an unmistakable fashion. II
was as much of an experiment for fair
exhibitors as it was for its promoters
And the most optimistic hopes of both
were more than realized. Weather
that was not only bad enough to or
dinarily keep the crowds away from
the grounds but weather that was also
bad enough to turn the race track into
a quagmire and thereby eliminate
large part of the amusement features
cut into the very heart of the fair. But
regardless of the weather, the con-
slant downpour of the better part Of
two nights and a day, and the mud
that was natural consequence, the
crowds flocked to the fair grounds,
and the larger part of them were
friends from points far outside of To-
peka. That's the supreme test of
fair, it's ability to attract the people.
A fair might be a marvel in the line
of exhibits and amusements of all
kinds and yet it would be a dismal
failure from the standpoint of the ex-
hibitors and the management If the
crowds attending it were small But
there have never been such fair
crowds in Topeka as there have been
this week and that is saying good
deal. And this, Notwithstanding the
prediction of the wisacres that a free
fair would not draw the people, that
they would entertain the belief that
free fair would necessarily be : cheap
fair, which is the rule with most free
things. But these prophecies Were
mistaken, as prophecies usually are
There wasn't a detail of the fair that
was cheap. Its exhibits were more
numerous in every department and of
higher quality than have ever before
assembled on a fair grounds in Kan
sas. And so were the crowds, despite
the weather. What the crowds would
have been had the automobile contin-
gent been able to use the roads into
Topeka rather challenges the imagina-
ton, and is a pleasing contemplation
of what the crowds will be at the 9TH
er Topeka free fairs to come. Prob
ably the fair management will have a
difficult time in making both ends
meet financially because the weather
applied the jinx to the amusements
and entertainments to which they
could legitimately charge admission
fees for grandstand and other con-
veniences The money that Shawnee
county so literally voted for fair aid
went exclusively to agricultural pre-
miums. Not cent of it was available
for horse races, horse show or any of
the other overhead expenses of the
fair which were naturally heavy. But
whether the fair made expenses is
really a trifling matter. 1t must be
kept alive. even if it is again neces-
sary to circulate a popular subscrip-
ton paper in Topeka to keep It going
until just one week of good fair
weather puts it on its financial feet.
The fair of this week has demonstrat
ed beyond peradventure that the free
fair idea is the right one. The ex
hibitors will come again and more of
them. They always go where the
crowds are. And the crowds were
here and they were the right kind of

REFORM IN NEW YORK.

After having been in session for 81
days the New York constitutional con-
vention is about ready to submit its
report to the people. In that time 1t
considered 1872 proposed amendments.
of which 80 were adopted, after de-
bate which, reduced to a printed rec
ord, occupies 1890 pages. The domi-
mating figure of the convention was
EIihu Root, to whose efforts and in
nuence are largely due whatever pro-
gress the convention made
The important proposed changes in
the constitution, as summarized by the
nor numerous. They include the fol-
lowing:
The short ballot. providing for the
election of but four state officers
governor. lieutenant governor, attor-
ney general and comptroller, leaving
the heads of the fourteen state execu-
tive departments to be appointed by
the governor.
Increasing the salary of the gov
ernor from $4,000 to $4,000 a year,
and of members of the legislature
from $1,000 to $4,000, with larger
travelling allowances.
A budget system, under which all
appropriations to administer the state
government shall originate in budget
to be prepared by the governor.
Home rule for cities, which en-
powers them to organize and manage
their own departments and bureaus.
To these should be added reforms in
judicial procedure, designed to sim
plify, cheaper and expedite the ad-
ministration of justice in the courts.
OF these reforms, or changes, that
universally hailed as the most notable
is the short ballot. 1t was for this
that Senator Root made his powerful
plea which reduced many of his hear
ers as we'll as himself to tears, and
which some of the New York papers
appear to think may be depended
upon to regenerate and purify New
York politics.-Omaha World-Herald.
