RABBI WISE

Topeka this week was honored with
a visit from a distinguished gentle
man from New York, Rabbi Wise. He
has more than local fame as an ora
tor and is a man of reputation and
ability. He is engaged by the Anti
preparedness League to make a tour
of the cities and present the argu-
ment in that cause.
He spoke Thursday noon at the
Commercial club before a large au-
dience of Topeka business and pro-
fessionaI men. His eloquence provided
a treat. His brilliancy and wit season.
ed his story. He was fittingly intro
duced By Governor Capper, who paid
a tribute to the speaker of the day.
Dr. Wise, before devoting himself
to his subject, praised Governor Cap
per highly, and said that he stood out
boldly as one of the few governors of
the United States in his most pro-
nouuced views against the government
going extensively into a program for
preparedness.
Rabbi Wise presented a line of ar
gument more or less stereotyped and
along utterances similar to those
heralded from the Chautauqua plat
forms by the late Secretary William j.
Bryan.
A close observer noted that the ap-
plause, as DIR. Wise sat down. seemed
to be rather because of his brilliant
oratory and entertaining presentation
of a subject not altogether pertinent
just at this time.
His criticism of CONSUMPTION in
armies at the time of war reminded
veteran civil war soldiers in the au-
dience of the early days of the SOS
when the union was hanging in the
balance, when President Lincoln was
obliged to envoke CONSUMPTION to en-
able him to put down the Rebellion.
His campaign in the western cities
of Des Moines, Omaha, Kansas City
and Topeka encountered a decidedly
cool wave and chilly reception in view
of the state of unpreparedness just
now an object lesson on the Mexican
border. He is endeavoring to break
down the efforts of Congress at this
moment to increase army facilities.
DR.. Wise returned to New York
from this city 1t is to be hoped with
new thoughts and new ideas on a sub
ject he discusses.

promoters who offer magnificent for
tunes for a small investment are not
in business for their health. Those
who have fortunes in sight are not Civ
ing them away to others. Don't be-
lieve all that is told you by promoters
of new schemes and remember that
promises made in prospectuses by
strangers carry no weight. In these
days, when the small investor can buy
one share of a good dividend-paying
security, either paying in full or buy
ing on partial payment plan with a
small deposit down, there is no reason
why any should use his few dollars in
specializing in worthless stocks such as
promoters have been pedding for many
years to their own enrichment and the
impoverishment of their customers.

Mica Found i'm 20 States.

Mica is of widespread occurrence
and has been mined in many coun-
tries, but the worlds production has
come chiefly from India, the United
States, Canada, German East Africa
and Brazil. Deposits of probable val
ue are known in more than 20 of the
United States. The distribution of
mica deposits can be best determined
by a knowledge of the rocks with
which they are associated and their
geographic occurrence The matriX of
mica is pegmatite, a rock allied to
granite IN composition, but of much
coarser texture. Mica bearing pegma-
titles are associated with crystalline
rocks, either ancient metamorphic or
igneouS rocks. A study of the geo.
logic map of North America issued by
the United States Geological Survey
shows the distribution of these types
of rocks. The absence of areas of
such rocks indicates the absence of
good deposits of mica, and their pres
ence indicates Il possibility of the oc-
currence of mica-bcaring pegmatites.
Large areas of these metamorphic and
old igneouS rocks are shown in the
eastern Appalachian region, extending
from Ala bama to New York; IN the
New England states; in the Black
Hills of South Dakota; in the Rocky
Mountain region from New Mexico to
Montdnd, anu III many SiiidliSI Hiole
or less isolated areas in nearly all the
western states from Texas to Cali
fornia and Washington. The same
map shows large areas where the old
er crystalline rocks are covered by
mantle of younger sedimentary
rocks ranging in thickness from hun
dreds to thousands of feet, and
where, accordingly, mica deposits are
not likely to be found.
In 1914 the mica produced in the
United States was valued at $32S,74
The output of sheet mica amounted to
556,933 pounds and that of scrap mica
amounted to $3.50 pounds.

TOOK HIM BACK
Wife Asks for Divorce Second Time
First Smoothed Over.

Alleging that she took him back
once because he begged and made
promises Edith Lenorah Kelly of 623
Locust street filed suit for divorce to-
day in the district court against VIII
iaIl j. T. Kelly.
The Kellys were married January
1S,1S95, and have five children, the
oldest of whom is 10 years of age. Mrs.
Kelly asks for custody of all the ----lor
children.
She states that Kelly cursed and re-
viled her, that he struck her and 9TH
erwise abused her. She started di-
vorce proceedings in January of this
year, she says, but when Kelly came
back and begged her to drop the case,
promising to do the right thing, she
dropped it.
Now, she says, she is certain that all
he wanted was to get hold of the title
to property that she held in her own
name. And he was successful in that,
she says.
Mrs. Kelly asks for a divorce, for
custody of the children and an equit-
able adjustment of the property rights.
Judge A. w. Dana of the first di-
vision of the district court, immediate =
ly issued two orders in the case. One
restraining the Capital Building and
Loan association from allowing Kelly
to draw any funds he may have there
!, and the other restraints Kelly from
selling or encumbering any property
to which ne has title.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.


From the Chicago News.
Ridicule never kills unless the death
is deserved.
Only a fool goose would tackle the
golden egg business.
The almighty dollar covers a multi
tude of queer transactions.
A woman's idea of a good husband
is one who does things for her folks.
The thing that worries a rich man
is that some of his friends are richer.
A spinster who Is willing but unable
to catch on thinks marriage is a fail
ure.
Few men can convince themselves
they are having a good time in trying
to be good.
Some people who think they know
how to raise chickens don't even know
how to raise children.
1t has been said that short accounts
make long friends-but there are no.
table exceptions to this rule.
The more some married men are
obliged to do things they more they
wish they were in the bachelor class
once more.
When the wife supplies all the liza
bilities and the husband all the as
ssts, or vice versa, marriage is apt
to prove a failure.
This is supposed to be an age of in
tellectual attainment, yet there are
people who still believe that saucers
were made to drink out of.

TOMMY T1TrLE-Mo USE WANTS TO MOVE

You are not to suppose that just be-
cause Tommy Tittle-mouse and his
little mate liked to stay in the barn
with the chickens during the cold
winter that they meant to stay there
all the year. For they meant nothing
of the sort. They. had not forgotten
their happy home in the old log near
the goIden-glow bed-no, indeed
And they often whispered to each
/ other about the fun they would have
when they moved back there again.
'I must say, though" said Mrs.
Tommy, at the end of one of their
talks. that it's much easier to raise
children in the barn. 1 can keep
track of them longer. And then, too,
there are not so many enemies to
/ harm them. Owls and hawks are
mighty scarce in the winter, I'm glad
to sayl
True enough! True enough"
agreed Tommy; but NV our babies
are grown big enough to take care
of themselves. and 1 want to move
back to the log"
Don't be in such a hurry.
Tommy" said Mrs. Tommy good
haturedIy. why do YOU want to leave
all the good food we have here in the
barn? It's only the middle of April
there may be many a storm yet,
and 1, for one, am satisfied to stay
here a couple of weeks longer"
Tommy sighed. OF course he could
see the good sense of what Mrs.
Tommy said. But he had the moving
fever in his system and he simply
could not settle down to anything
he kept thinking and thinking about
that moving he was going to do. If
you have ever moved yourself, you
will know just how he felt; and if
you have not moved-well, there's no
use trying to explain it to you, you
wouldn't understand
Mrs. Tommy looked kindly at Tom
my Dear me, such a sight she
laughed.
Il suppose So" admitted Tommy;
but ] am so tired of waiting. l wish
/ could CO something special toward
moving"
wen, you can" said Mrs. Tommy.

Did you like the play?" I asked

had told me she was to attend.
"Oh, my dear" she said, cit was

You look tired" 1. said.
"Oh, yes" she answered, I'm

out of me to cry"
Now il my friends washwoman had
come to her and said, 81 was on a
spree yesterday. I'm all tired out
to-day" L know she would have been
horribly shocked.
And yet, hadn't she been on a spree
herself? A spree of emotion, which,
as she freely admitted, took it right
out of her.
Tears have their place in our lives
Tears" someone has said, "are the
safety valve of the heart when too
much pressure is laid upon it," Dry
GUS. You remember the bereaved
wife in Tennyson's princess who
was near insanity from grief over
her husbands death because she could
not find relief in tears. Her attend
ants tried in every way to make her
give away. Then finally:
Rose, a nurse of ninety years.
Set his child upon her knee
Like summer tempests came her
tears
Sweet, my child, live for thee Z"
A safety valve is an invaluable
thing-at the right time. But if you
opened the safety valve at times when
there was too much pressure you
would take away from the power in
the engine. And that is just what
some women do when they permit
themselves to- indulge too freely in
tears.

beautiful relaxed feeling afterwards -
"And how do you feel the rest of

Well" she confessed, I'm apt to
feel rather tired
A friend of mine once suffered a
serious injury to her back She had
to lie still for months and it was I'M
certain if she would ever walk again.
The doctor found her crying one day.
IF you let yourself CO." he said, 81
cannot help you. You must not cry
She exerted her self-control, got hold
of herself and never let go again, and
to-day she is well. The doctor saws
there are few women he could have
saved, because there are few who
would not have let themselves go.
That is just what crying means
letting yourself go-flinging selfcon-
troll to the winds. Sometimes it is
justifiable, because it relieves an I'M
enduraDle pressure, clears the air like
a thunderstorm; but be careful that
you don't get the habit. Crying over
every little thing is a self-indulgence
and it weakens the character, lust
like any other acknowledgement
tected by the Adams Newspaper Ser
vice.)

In some respects, it will have to be
conceded that war is great 1nstltu-
ton. Under its rigors in Germany, the
girls are not permitted to smear their
faces with excessive quantities OF
rouge and powder. If they do, they
are promptly taken into custody by
the police and they have to remove
the surplus cosmetics at the police
station before they are given their
liberty. In some of the German cities,
too. the police arrest women whom
they deem to be dressed too con-
-spicuously. What u rich field the
American cities would be these days

Be WORSE THAN EVER
Annual Banquet of the Saturday Night
Club, May "a.

The Saturday Night club will hold
its annual banquet May 81, according
to announcement today in Topeka.
The banquet this year will be a feat
ure attraction and an effort will be
made to equal if not excel some of the
prize show which the local gridiron
club has staged in former years.
1t is quite probable that the dinner
of the bath night crowd will this year
bring to Topeka many of the men
prominent in the affairs of both the
Democratic and Republican parties in
Kansas. 1t is on occasions of the an
nual banquet of the club that men
high in the councils of the political
parties of the state are roasted and
toasted to the enjoyment of several
hundreds members and interested Wis
itors
Events of campaigns and acts of
prominent men are burlesqued and
held up to ridicule by the men in
charge of the festivities. One of the
features of the annual dinner is the
refusal of the club to permit anyone
to make n serious minded speech or
to talk without interruption.
A program for the banquet this year
is now being worked out and will
probably be announced in the next
week or ten days. Many of the prom
lfnent men of the state will be invited
to sit at the dinner. Last year William
Allen White of Emporia was the star
performer. 1t was at the dinner of the
Saturday Night club that he introduce
ed the now famous political Jingle.
Victor, Henry and Me" Senator
Thompson and other Kansans includ-
ing. l.. NJ. Penwell and John Kinkle
were also victims of the clubs wit ana
humor last year. This year they may
enjoy the fun at the expense of a new
| class of victims.

suggestions that Carranza may not
