He Knew Their Weakness.

During the reign of Louis XIV of
France the light chaise came into fash
ion, and great ladies of Paris were &C
customed to drive in them about the
city. But beautiful hands are not al
ways strong ones; accidents began to
occur more and more frequently in the
streets, Consequently, says Das Buch
fuer ALE, the king besought the min.
lister of police to do something, since
the lives of pedestrians were constant.
ly in danger,
Il will do whatever is in my power"
replied the police minister. Your
majesty desires that these accidents
cease entirely?"
The king replied, Certainly"
The next day there appeared royal
ordinance that ordered that, in the flu
ture, ladies under thirty years of age
should not drive chaises through TIN,
streets of Paris. That seems a mild
restriction; but it is said that scarcely
a woman from that time on drove her
own chaise. The police minister knew
that few women would care to adver-
tise the fact that they were over thirty
end that the rest would probably be
too old to drive, anyway.

Gilbert Stuart.

Gilbert Stuart (1755-1S2S) was born
IN Narragansett, R. l., the son of
snuff-grinder At the age of fifteen,
without any instruction whatever, he
began to paint portraits that attract
ed the attention of a young Scotch
artist named Alexander, who took him
to Scotland in 1772. In 1774 he re-
turned to America, where he re-
NAMED for year. He went back to
London in 1775, and for a short time
he played the organ in small church
in that city. In ITS ne entered the
studio of Benjamin West rs a pupil,
nut later set up a studio of his own,
and remained working there for some
years. He came back to this country
once more IN 1872, and painted many
portraits IN New York and Philadel-
phia, among them the famous 1875
Washington. In the year 1906 ne set
tied IN Boston. His fame rests large
ly upon his many portraits OF Wash
ington.

SAY WORKER MISSES MUCH
Many College Presidents AVerse to
Students Being Employed While
Obtaining an Education.

Becky Sharp was the first society
woman on nothing year. She made
the phrase famous and the fact infa-
nous But there are circumstances
under which nothing year can be a
blessing.
The secretary OF the Christian asso-
citation at the University Of Pennsyl-
vania announces that over 300 Penn
sylvania men are already supplied
with work to help them through their
college year. In other colleges, per-
haps in every college, men are being
so aided to get their education. And
a surprising number of these men
have literally nothing a year besides
the income from their work.
There will always be serious doubt
in the mind of college men whether
working ones way through college
really pays in the end, the Philadel-
phia Evening Ledger says. College
presidents have frequently been quot
ed as advising students to borrow
while they are at college so that their
minds and their time may be free for
their college work and pleasures. The
two together make up a college life.
A book education without social edu-
cation is hardly worth having.
The college man who works his way
through misses much, to be sure, in
social contact, in the graces of inter
course with other men. His college is
chiefly a place for lectures and
exams" The larger education he
gets, in pursuit Of his tuition fees and
room rent, is hardly Of the polished
and suave kind which college should
bring. 1t differs not at all from what
he will meet later on.
College as a preparation for living
ought to be broader than any one life.
AS a foundation for character it ought
TO be broader than any career. That
is why the man who works his way
through really loses-because he iden-
titles college with life too soon.

WRONG IDEA ABOUT WORDS
Writer Claims Old Impression That
They Express Thought 10 Sim
ply a Delusion.

Our molders of opinion-our preach
ers and politicians and editors and
publishers-are not speaking in order
so much to convince us as to make us
act or vote or feel with them. Their
words are chains of phrases, strung
together almost undesignedly, with a
view of pulling us to the cause or
party or idea they are supporting.
1t is a curious delusion that words
express thought, the New Republic re-
marks. The object of most words is
to short-circuit thought Phrases like
democracy, liberty, militarism, the
principles of justice and humanity, are
not primary meanings at all. They
are epithets hurled at us to arouse
some desired resentment, or they are
spotlights guaranteed to create GER
tain warm emotional glows of assent
in the mind which receives them. II
is the reaction they touch off that
makes them significant, not their
meaning. Words are such deadly
things not because they mean some
thing, but because they get wrapped
up with our. emotion and pull it
up with them when they are seized.
In support of the articulate emotion
there may be any number of highly
rational arguments which have come
first. 1t is the antagonism or the glow
of approval, while the evidence has
grown almost vegetatively around the
emotion.

Concordia Kansan: A bird expert
in Pawnee county has figured that
it takes 100000 bushels of bugs
every day to feed Kansas birds dur
ing the five months bird season. In
other words, it takes a train of fifty
carloads. Without the birds these
bugs would do inestimable harm.
Toads, terrapins and lizards also get
away with about twenty car loads a
day, says the expert, who is so in
terested in the subject that he goes
around the country making talks
about feeding and protecting the
birds.

The Butler county sheriff recently
was forced to shoot prisoner who
was trying to escape from the Jail
in Eldorado. Shooting is tame pun
ishment for a prisoner who would
try to break out of the Eldorado Jail,
where steam heat and buckwheat
cakes and maple syrup are at the
disposal of the guests.

A contributor to the. dull letter
column of the paper accuses us of
having capitalistic mind. He may
be right about it, We don't know
just what it takes to constitute a
capitalistic mind. If believing that
the man who builds railroad into
waste places, POUNDS a great indus
try, builds up great business or
establishes strong bank is of more
value to his community than the
whittlers and whistlers is the mark
of capitalistic mind, we have one.

, OVER THE STATE }


This is what Herman Rosenfeld,
advertising manager of Sears, Roe
buck & Co. recently told the mem
bers of the American AID Club at a
convention: I'VE have bureau
whose duty it is to read each week
the country newspapers from all
over the country. There is not a
paper of any consequence in our
trade territory we do not get, The
bureau looks over these papers and
when we find town where the mer-
chants do not advertise in the local
paper we Immediately food that ter
ritory with our literature. 1t al
ways brings results far in excess Of
the same effort put forth in territory
where the local merchants use their
local papers. Abilene Reflector.

"Charley" Trap OF Topeka says
from his puritanic boyhood in Leav-
enworth, he had gathered the i'm
preston that a straight was what
you held against the other mans
flush just before you sent the boy
home for more money. Now, Mr..
Trap finds that such is not the case.
A straight" is the innocent party
on the vaudeville stage, sometimes

thing so the lead" may take a YER
bal crack at him. Freely translated
into highbrow English, straight is
the fall guy for the gink that wants
