Squirrel Aided Bridge Builders.

"There is an old Hindu story about
Rana's bridge. Rama, the chief of
the gods, was building bridge. and
the monkeys came to help in the work.
They carried earth and stones and
trees, and piled them up. They moved
cliffs and mountains. While the work
was Mt its height the squirrel came TO
help. The squirrel could not carry
much. but he rolled himself up in the
sand and seampered TO the bridge and
shook the sand from his coat and
scampered back again. The monkeys
stopped and laughed at the squirrel.
They said. 'Ho! what does he
think he Is doingY But Rama had
watched the squirrel and he reproyed
the monkeys. saying that according to
his powers the squirrel was doing as
much as any of them. And this legend
adds that Rama reached down and
stroked the squirrel kindly, and from
that day 10 this the squirrel has al
ways borne upon his coat the stripes
that are the marks of Rama's fingers.

One To Convince the Most Skepticai
 SkagwGY Reader

The fest of time Is the test that counts.
 Deans Kidney Pills have made their reputation by effective action.
 The following case is typical.

CAPITAL CITY NOTES
(By Chas. II. Trapp)

Topeka, Nov. As the first drops
the boys coming back from the front
are here. That is, the boy one knows
the Kansas boy. Lieutenant Cars
well, of the Radio Corps, told in a
talk at the Topeka Chamber of Com
merce many intimate details of the
life-and death-"over there. It was
quite different from hearing it in
foreign brogue-you got the Kansas
viewpoint of it all. And there were
many little enlightenments: "Laiai-
son" means the keeping in touch of
the troops with each other, man with
man, corps with corps, regiment with
regiment. Before the Yanks came by
common consent there was no fight
ing between IL and 1 and between
and 5, because the French in the first
instance wanted the noon hour and in
the second instance the Englishmen
wanted the tea hour and the Germans
had tacitly consented because they
were like minded.
Never has the common plug citi-
zen been so immune from the politi-
cal bug as this year. One thought that
the primary campaign was pale and
enemic but the prediction stuff was
positively apathetic. Even the broad
side fired by the president had little
effect on a fellow who was plodding
along and saving his money for the
next drive, Whatever it may be. May

And he won't tell how he is going to
vote. The officers are even having q
time of it getting judges and clerks

Certain candidates seem to be con
coded election by all parties, while
there is a pretense of contest for {
few Offices. But the attention of the
citizen is on the events in Europe anC
no mere state election is going to dis
tract him-or her.

the chance to lay down his failing
cause.
Kansas will approve the recon-
mendation of the auditor of state that
the boards be held to more strict ac-
countability for the expenditure of
moneys that come their way and the
auditor estimates that many thous-
ands of dollars can be saved for the
taxpayers by the elimination and con-
solidation of boards, and that all pur-
chases for the state, of whatever ma
ture, be in the hands of the state pur-
chasing agent. AS an instance, the
automobile section of the secretary
of states Office now buys the auto
license tags, totaling many thousand
dollars. While no misdirection is
charged, it is deemed in the interest
of economy to have all the purchasing
under one responsibility.
A prominent woman in social and
political life, talking about the sta
tus of the sexes after the war, said
that she believed the women would
willingly go back to their homes and
resume the relations, broadened con.
siderably, that existed before the war
She believes the women will give VI
the positions of the men they have
held during the war period and bt
proud to do so, knowing they have
done their part to defeat the Hun.

Date to be Announced. Price so cts.
DR.. Cadman now stands at the height of
his powers, forty-sN years OF age, possessed
of endless physical and mental vigor and the
master of many subjects in which the pub
lie is profoundly interested. His lectures
more than mere lectures. They vital mes
sages, and once heard they can never be for
gotten.
He has otter been compared to Henry
Ward Beecher and we know OF one else
who comes nearer to our own estimate of
this splendid preacher and wonderful man.
he has an intuitive and practical knowledge
of human nature. and this, as was in Mr.. Bee
chers case, is doubtless very largely the
cause of his unparalleled success among
men in whatsoever he undertakes. He would
make superb lawyer, great editor. His
pen Is versatile and powerful as his
oral utterances, and If he should ever turn
his attention to the field of religious Htera-
ture there would be doubt of his success
He is known all over the country a great
speaker; on the platform and in the pulpit he
has no superior and few equals. And, best of
all. for public, speaker and minister of the
Gospel, he has enemies. DR.. Cadman is a
man in the largest sense.
