AND DADDY COULDN'T ANSWER
Youngsters Question TrifIe Too Per-
sonaI Even for This Sophis-
ticated Generation.

Babies, no less than fools, sometimes
ask questions that wise parents cannot
answer, remarks the Philadelphia
Ledger. A child of two was being
carried by his father through the sub
way station at Broad street on a day
when the crowds were enormous. The
child was plainly fascinated by the
hOrdes of people. "You won't step on
any of these people, will you, daddy?"
he asked as, perched on his fathers
shoulders, he was piloted through the
throngs. Then he tried to count them !:
zone, two, free, four people; one, two,
free, four people,"
Finally they reached their train and
as they sat down beside a dapper, i'm
portant-lOoking gentleman the urchin
reached his fOrefnger toward the
mans face and almost touching him
asked in tones that could be heard
throughout the car:
Daddy, what is dis little man forT'

And with his fathers body in his
strong arms he departed from the little
amphitheater. walking lightly with his
heavy burden down the old skid road
to the waiting automobile. And two
days later John Cardigan returned to
rest forever with his lost mate among
the Giants, himself at last an infinites-
imal portion Of that tremendous silence
that is the diapason of the ages
When the funeral was over Shirley
and Bryce fingered until they found
themselves alone beside the freshly
turned earth. Through rift in the
great branches two hundred feet above
a patch of cerulean sky showed faint
ly; the sunlight fell like broad gold
en- shaft over the blossom-laden grave
and from the brown trunk of an adj
jacent tree a gray squirrel, descend
ant. perhaps, of the gray squirrel that
had been wont to rob Brycs's pockets
of pine nuts twenty years before,
chirped at them inquiringly.
HE was giant among men," said
Bryce presently. "What fitting place
FOR him to lie!" He passed his arm
around his wife's shoulders and drew
her to him. You made it possible,
sweetheart"
She gazed up at him in alteration.
And presently they left the Valley
of the Giants to face the world to-
gether, strong in their faith to live
their lives and love their loves, to
dream their dreams and perchance
when life should be done with and the
hour of rest at hand, to surrender, sus-
tanned and comfOrted by the knowl-
edge that those dreams had come true.

The Why of JayhaWkers.

"Wilder's Annals of Kansas" gives
this history of the word: zone au-
tumn morning in this year (1S56) Pat
Devlin, free State Irishman, rode
into Osawatomie on horse heavily
laden with many kinds of goods. Have
you been foraging, PATTI Yes, I've
been jayhawking. In Ireland we have
a bird we call the jayhawk; it worries
it's prey before devouring it; and jay
hawking is a good name for the bust
ness I've been in This Is the only
known origin of the word. Colonel
Jennison, early in the war (between
the pro-slavery and free state forces)
called himself and his soldiers jay
hawkers, and the name soon came to
be applied to all Kansans. Others at
tribute the word to Col. Charles r.
Jennison, one Of the Free State lead
ers, claiming that he "coined" it. "Jay-
hawking" was the term used to de-
scribe the depredations of the Kansans
and they were called "Jayhawkers," as
the term Border Ruffians" was applied
to the Missouri pro-slavery men!

Too Absorbed to Report.

Making newspaper reporters out of
college boys and girls is not without
its trials and tribulatiOns. Dean Wal
ter Williams of the University of Mis-
souri, school Of journalism will bear
testimony to this fact. Once, he says,
he sent member of one of the re-
porting classes over to nearby town
to report railroad wreck. The press
hour grew near and there was no story
from the reporter. Dean Williams
waited and waited for a report of the
wreck to come in. Finally, in sheer
desperation, he wired the student re-
porter, asking him what the trouble
was and why he hadn't sent in his
story. The reply came back: TOO
much excitement. Wait till things
quiet down" -Harper's Magazine.

Moira?" he asked with boyish eager
ness; then, before she could answer,
he swept on, a tornado of love and
pleading. And presently MORA was in
his arms, and he was kissing her, and
she was crying softly because-well,
she admired Mr.. Buck Ogilvy; more,
she respected him and was genuinely
fond of him, She wondered and she
wondered, quiet joy thrilled her in
the knowledge that 1t did not seem
at all impossible for her to grow, in

John Cardigan was seated in his
lumberjack's easy chair as his son ap-
preached. His hat lay on the litter
of brown twigs beside him; his chin
was sunk on his breast, and his head
was held little to one side in lis
tening attitude; vagrant little breeze
rustled |; entity lock of his fine, long
white hair. Bryce stopped over the
old man and shook him gently by the
shoulder.

He sighed gently. Good son." he
whispered again; his big body relaxed,
and the great heart of the Argonaut
was still. Bryce held him until the
realization came to him that his father
was no more-that like a watch, the.

he had gradually slowed up and
stopped.

TRAGEDY IN INCREASED GIRTH
Man May Smile at His Rotundity, but
to Woman 1t Is Matter
of Terror.

A fat man is usually jolly sort OF
an individual who accepts the world
as the same sort of a joke as the world
considers him. Girth may worry man
occasionally because it is an annoy
ance, but with the modern woman 1t
verges upon tragedy. As physicians
If they would talk freely-ean tell you,
it is worry to them that frequently
leads to ruined health, Insanity or the
grave. the New York Sun says.
1t is possible for man to grow fat
gracefully. At least he can subdue his
habits, stop running for trains, give up
his golf and spend most of his time in
pOnderous poses. His tailor can easily
arrange his clothing into well known
and accepted lines.
The case Of the woman Is different.
Fashion binds her as with chain.
There are no stylish frocks for stout
women. The fashion calls for slim fig
ures and trim ankles. Waists and hips
are taboo. There are no sleeves capa-
Bile of cOncealing overf1eshed arms.
Man can adapt his clothes to- his fig
ure, but woman must adapt her figure
to the clothes or else shameleSsly adj
NIT that she cannot wear what is
fashionable.
1t was not always so. In another
generation the stout woman had
well-defned place = the 'dowager
type" it was, sometimes called. The
woman who made the best biscuits and
cooked the most savory chicken was
always rotund sort Of person who
never minded it when people came I'M
expectedly around at dinner time. She
was the one children flocked to for
sympathy and the one who seemed to
make the world brighter wherever she
went.

How Physicians Get Rich.

Jones is no more of hypochondriac

sore to even think of wholesome foods

We Ask the Attention of Every Read
err of this Paper This Week.

Ninety-six per cent Of all the people
in the United States earn less than
$1,000 year.
Therefore it behooles every one of
you to learn to readthis paper week by
week with two purposes: One, that you
may post yourself upon the general
news. The other, chat you may post
yourself upon the advertising news.
The day is past when anyone can
afford to overlook this second feature.
1t is the road to economy in every
home. There isn't q day passes when
money cannot be saved orwhen better
goods cannot be bought for the same
money simply by following carefully
the advertising news that is published
here.
The reason for this is very simple:
advertising is the cheapest, quickest
and best method of craftsmanship that
has yet been found.
Therefore the most progressive mer-
chants advertise.
And naturally, when you want the
cheapest or the best article, of any
kind, it is fair to assume that the most
progressive men will have it for sale.
Every shrewd merchant advertises
in this paper because there are hun
dreds of you readers eager to see this
advertising when itappears.
He knows that you are looking for
whatever good merchandise he has to
offer. And if any merchant so far dis
counts your value to him as not to ad-
vertise in the paper you read, you can
well aft ord to discount his value toyou.
If any merchant is so careless as to
overlook the great combined purchas-
ing value OF hundreds OF you readers
every week, the chances are he is over
looking many good merchandise val
ue when it comes his turn to go into
the markets and buy.
So learn, not only to read the ad-
vertising news in this paper every
week, but also learn to rely upon it
for everything you need.

An attempt was made to wreck the
shop Of Sim Fein leader within 40

only intervention by Ulster volun-

The crowds were out to burn the

calmly to complete their destruction.
