FAIRY PARASOLS.

Five little sunbeam fairies slid down
to earth on a golden sunbeam. Down
through the air they travelled so
swiftly that they had no time to look
around and see where they were go

the quickest possible time.
When they got their breath and
looked around after landing, they
found themselves in a beautiful for

moss and grass under them and green
bushes with beautifully colored blooms
were all around about them.

A BOON OF THE WAR.

It's an ill wind, indeed, that blows
no good. And this ancient adage,
strange as it may seem, applies to the
ramifications of the European war.
Generally speaking, they have added
to the burdens of the people of the
whole world. In most particulars,
they have increased the cost of living
even in this productive country. But
on the other hand, and to mention Just
one instance in which they have been
a boon, they have reduced the price
of Holsters The war has seriously
affected the demand for Holsters
abroad. This keeps at home the many
American Holsters that used to be
shipped across the Atlantic. And the
Canadian Holsters are in the same pre-
dicament. Their cousins across the
sea have little use for them nowadays.
and they are being dumped in Ameri-
can ports, Boston especially, in pro-
digious quantities. No less than 27O,-
600 of them were landed in Boston
during the last six days of April. All
Of this may not mean much to the sub
stantial folk with homely appetites in
this section of the country, where the
lobster that doesn't come neatly
packed in tin cans is pretty much of
a rarity, but along the bright night
ways in the metropolitan centers in
the eastern section of the country, and
where joy SO often reigns unrefined.
the situation is different. Life is
dreary waste in those places when the
'broiled live ones" and small bottle
that goes with them are at prohibitive
prices. And a plethora of Holsters
there-wel1, nothing more could be
desired.

Spending Other Peoples Money.
BY RUTH CAMERON

Spent1inr Other Peoples Money.
How rare it is to find anyone who
doesn't feel called upon to spend other
peoples money for them.
1 have a neighbor who does every
bit of her own work, including her
washing. although her husband is able
and willing to have helper for her
Most of the money she saves in this
way she spends upon her nome. Her
furniture is the most costly In the
neighborhood, her china is exquisite
and her beautifully embroidered linen
is of the finest.
Now, my neighbor also has a neigh

house very simply furnished but she

My neighbor cannot understand this
ct should think she would want to fix
up her house, she says, even if she
did have to work little harder. The
maids board and wages and what she
wastes must cost her ten dollars a
week Just think, if she went without
a maid for a year she could furnish
that house decently."
And my neighbor signs with the
unresigned helplessness of those who
could spend other peoples money so
much more wisely if they were al
lowed to do so.

plain furniture, is talking about her
neighbor at an afternoon tea at which

woman at her right, ''how can Mrs.

Owing to a shift in the alignment

OUR STAND Is FIRM.

President Wilson's note to Germany
relative to the Lusitania horror is
probably in line with what most of the
people of the United tSates were ex-
recting and what they hoped it would
be. Aggravated and serious though
the incident was, the temper of the
great bulk of the American people
undoubtedly is that 1T was no i'm
mediate casus belli. As people
and a nation we detest war, not be-
cause we are afraid to fight nor be-
cause of lack Of confidence that we
would not be able to take care of
ourselves either on land or sea; but
because of the colossal crime it is
against humanity. With Woodrow
Wilson at the helm, though, there was
no danger that we would rush madly
into the war because of the slaughter
of the innocents on the Lusitania,
many of whom were our own people,
and objectionable as the offense was
against U.S. But President Wilson
tells Germany that there must be no
repetition of such assault against
our citizens on any scale and demands
assurances from Germany to this end.
The language of our president is so
Enthusiastically plain and firm that
nothing but an unequivocal reply will
suffice. If Germany's answer is not
wholly satisfactory, then, to use Mr..
Wilson's words, 1.-The imperial German
government will not expect the gov
eminent of the United States to omit
any word or any act necessary to the
performance of it's sacred duty of
maintaining the rights of the United
States and it's citizens and of main
tanning their free exercise and enjoy
men,." What our actions would be
under such circumstances is to be
decided later, although it is probable
that the president and his advisers
have in mind what should and will
be done. To speculate as to what we
might do is merely borrowing trouble.
1t is Germany's move now. 1t will be
our turn next. There are undoubted-
ly, however, many severe reprisals
that the United States could make
against Germany without actually en-
gaging in the combat against her.

for Edith's trousseau. James Wad-
nam whistled when he received the
bills,
But, as Mrs. Wadham assured her
husband, the sister-in-law of coun-
ess must be properly attired.
But, my DEAR he feebly objected,
"I don't believe Edith really loves
the mani"
st don't see how any sensible girl
could help loving a Denway, she re-
torted, and was afterward angry at
the silly remark.
Just when her hopes were at pin
nacle point-they fell with a crash.
1t all happened at once.
Edith had been missing all after
noon and Cecil Denway had mooned
around the piazzas, reading the papers
and yawning in a bored way. He
didn't seem a bit interested when Mrs.
Wadham cornered him and began to
talk about Edith.
1t was in the midst of a maternal
eulogy of the sweetest daughter in
the world that Mr.. Denway leaped
from his seat with a word of apology
and rushed down the steps to meet a
large motor car.
From the motor car descended a
very pretty woman, who was ardently
embraced by Cecil Denway. She was
and a French nurse.
His sister-in-law, Mrs. Reggie, I
presume" said Mrs. Wadham to her
nearest ne1SnDOr.
But that dowager only smiled wick
eddy.
"Oh, no, his wife. She was one of
the Evans girls. Reggie isn't married
yet, though his engagement has just
been announced. He's been spending
the summer in Europe, you know"
Mrs Wadham didn't know-she felt
in that instant that she didn't know
anything. Never again would she
trust that false prophet, the blue
book.
Her husband discovered her in their
sitting room, the fatal book open on
her lap. The page of Denways was
bliStered with tears.
my dear" he said gently Edith is
outside-with Dick Ainslee They
want to marry each other; I'm going
to boost Dick and-I told Edith that
of course you wanted her to marry
the man she loved
of course I dol" Mrs. wadham
smiled through her tears. Tell them
to come right in-and Jim-just
throw this book in the fire!'
And she gave her husband the
priced blue book.
Why should she keep it when Edith
had flouted the social register and was
marrying the man she loved?
I'm very glad after ALL" she sighed
and she meant it-(Copyright, 1915,

PROSPERITY AND RAILROADS.

Even President Ripley of the Santa
Fe, who is inclined to pessimism be-
cause of the general railroad situation,
and not without good reason, is forced
to smile with optimism after a per
sonal survey of the visible prosperity
that prevails in Kansas. And the eff
ficient service of the Santa Fe and the
other railroads in Kansas play no
small part in the making of this
prosperity. They'd play a larger one,
too, or rather they would assist in
making a larger prosperity possible
through an extension of their lines
and an expansion of their activities,
if the regulation of the railroads by
the constituted public authorities, did
not so often take the form of strangu-
latinn
