came into her presence she would dis
miss by saying, Il have seen a man

At last King kOfa would wait no

he would make the choice himself,
and she must marry at once.

And while the worst may be yet to
come, says the Lawrence Gazette, the
fact remains that around about the
Glorious Fourth we shall wish that we
could have a small slice of this kind
of weather.
If people worked as hard to give
newspapers good live news items as
they try to keep legitimate news out
of the papers, every paper, insists the
Newton ansan-Republican, would

zette, is to go out and throw corn and
other high-priced stuff to the ducks.
Under the federal law it is the duty
of Kansas to feed the ducks and geese
and the pleasure of Texans to kill and
eat them.

Abilene is in a serious predicament.
The Abilene Reflector calls attention
to the fact that while nineteen other
towns received donations of from two
to four pieces of cannon each at the
close of congress, Abilene didn't get
a smell of one, and the Reflector
adds: Have to get along with sling
shots and pop-guns for another two
years.
They keep pretty close tab on peo-
pie in the old country, says the lola
Register. A Kansas man who left
Switzerland with his father when he
was years old received notice from
the old country to hold himself in
readiness to answer a call to arms,
and also to pay the Swiss government
$45 a year for military tax from the
time he was 1 years old. He return
ed the papers with a duplicate Of his
fathers naturalization papers.
A doctor is quoted by the Hia-
watha World as observing: Too many
people think they have heart trouble
or other ailments when they are sim
ply troubled from overeating. In Bel
GUM the chief worry is because of
the starvation menace. In this coun-
try it is just the opposite. More peo-
pie die from the effects of overeating
than Starve to death. The habit of
stomach stuffing units many for ac-
tive work. Moderate eating by the
people will mean less work for the
doctors.

Kansas Comment
WHY WE NEED TO PLAY.

There is no defense for a life of
loafing. there being plenty of useful
work to do, despite the problem of
unemployment, which confronts the
country from time to time. But it is
nearer true now than it used to be that
all work and no play puts cobwebs in
Jacks thought factory. The reason is
the increased number of indoor Jobs
which come with our advanced civili-
zation and growing cities. E. e. Rft-
tenhouse, president of the Life Exten-
sion institute, says probably 60 per
cent, certainly many millions of the
from ancestors who had worked in
the open. The obvious result is a lack
of physical eXertion which isn't good
for us, unless relief is found in play
Therefore the frenzied financier who
chases a golf ball around the pasture
two or three afternoons a week may
be showing more sense than the one
who sticks to the job, although golf
is apt to seem a silly pastime to those
not bitten by the bug. Also, the
crowds that fare forth to the ball
game and get exercise by throwing
pop bottles and imprecations at the
umpire are possibly adding to their
longevity and usefulness, although it
may be hard on the umpire. Every
man whose work lies indoors should
have hobby which takes him out A
garden or a lawn may do as we'll as
golf or tennis, and the walking habit
should prove helpful. The outdoor air
and the exercise are needed, and so is
the relaxation which comes with play.
If you can't organize a country club
get a fish pole, or hoe.-AtchiSon

From Other Pens
THE SPRING CAMPAIGN.

With British troops pouring into
France at the rate, according to some
conjectures, of 100000 a week, it will
not be very long before their presence
is felt; how small distances are is
illustrated in the story of a volunteer
who left London on Monday, was
wounded on Tuesday and on Wednes-
day found himself in London once
more. But to get a new army of
good part of million men into the
trenches is a different matter and
whatever the gifts of Kitchener as an
organizer and of French as field
commander, there will be confusion
and delay-no improvised machine
can run as smoothly as one which like
the German has been kept oiled and
polished for generation. The Brit
ism forces will not appear in any
melodramatic fashion one fine day to
the tune of THE Campbells Are Com
ing" but by degrees the new units
will find their places, and the neces-
sary new dispositions will be made
while the Germans, who have been
making vigorous efforts to meet this
new access of strength, will put their
fresh reserves into the field as they
are needed. 1t is safe to suppose that
each side has an offensive stroke and
defensive counter-strokes ready but
the opening of the crucial spring cam
paign may be somewhat tentative and
gradual-Springfield Republican.

THE PRINCESS CHOICE.

Once upon a time there was a little
Princess, whose father was King
Kofa. He wanted that his daughter
should marry, and so one day he
called her to him and told her it was
time she chose a husband.
II will wed when L find man un-
like any other man I have ever seem -
replied the Princess, for she was a
willful lass, and did not want to marry
until she decided for herself.
Very WELL" said her father. 81

but do not put it off too long

CREED

"A CREED.
Faith in. him who calls me friend
Faith in what is sweet and clean;
rain tnat just around the bend
Al is peaceful and serene.
Faith that after care and strife
Come the happy days of rest,
Faith that everything in life
Really happens for the best
This my faith and this my shield
'Ga1nst the arrows of distrust:
Much of justice is concealed
In what seems to be unjust
Now what seems a dismal way
That alone I'm forced to tread
L may come to see some day
Is a glorious path instad.
Undisturbed by petty wrongs
Undlsmayed by what is mean
Ih0ugh the false attracts the throngs,
though the multitude's unclean
Though at time 1 stand alone,
Though I'm oft misunderstood.
Faith l still would keep and own
In the decent and the good.
