Applicants for Federal Positions,

Harvey H. Motter, chairman Of the
state Republican committee, who as
sumes office November l as federal
internal revenue collector for Kansas,
has received more than four hundred
applications for positions. The inter-
nal revenue department in this state
employs about forty five deputy col
1ectors and an office, force. of sixty
persons, with salaries ranging from
500 to $500 a month,
Contrary to usual custom when one
party succeeds another in power Not
ter will make no Immediate and dras-
tic changes in force, replacing Demo-
Gratis with Republicans.
THE revenue department is big
business institution collecting an aver
age, of more than 100000 daily"
Motter said Total collections in
Kansas last year were $ss,600, 900. Or
about three-fourths of the total col
Iected for all state, county and local
taxes.
Keep Old Force.
when I walk in and hang up my
hat on November 1, every member of
the force will remain, including the
first assistant. The internal revenue
business is complicated and l think it
would be very tinwiSe to dismiss the
clerks and deputies who understand
the work and replace them with green
helpers. 1 will not disrupt the force
to. serve political eds.
Eventually. of course. the force
will be largely replaced by Republic
ans. But changes will be made only
as the present workers leave volun-
tarily or as more efficient persons can
be obtained" ..
one applicant for a job wrote to
Motter the other day asking whether
he should sell his home and buy an
other at Wichita so as to be ready to
go to work November 1. Motter re-
piled for him to Keep his home. Ans
other said he wanted to take a vaca-
ton before beginning revenue work,
and asked If he should resign his pres
ent job. The reply was in the mega
tive.
The revenue office occupies the two
top floors Of the Biting building at
Wichita under a teh-year lease. seven
years of which are unexpired. The
annual rental is $40, 900.

! Of the sale. Each of~these- boxes
carried specials for the day stated.
In other words every day there was a
feature and the fact was made known
that these features would be on sale
only on the day advertised. For the
last day every ones curiosity was
aroused by the fact that a large ques-
ton mark was all that was used in the
box for this day.
A sale crowd Every Day.
On every dav there was advertised
the specials for the following day. In
this way the crowds were kept coming
to the store continually. Among the
bargains offered on the various days
were clothes pins at two dozen for
five cents, standard silverware at two
thirds off, wash tubs, enamel ware,
cutlery, STOVES, aluminium ware, tools
and other items at real savings prices.
In each of these daily ads another
word was added about the extra ordi-
nary event of the last day of the
sale. It was thru thoro cooperation
of the jobberS that The W. E. Culver
Hardware Co. was enabled to secure
the merchandise for this sale.
The fact that crowds were drawn
every day meant that every time a
customer came back for another spe-
cia1 she remembered something else
she needed-and in this way a large
portion of the regular stock was moved
at regular prices.
Even the Rain Didn't Stop Them.
The wind-up on the last day brought
forth the announcement that any aru-
Gle in the store could be Bought on
that day only at a flat discount of 5
per cent, nothing excepted. In addi-
ton there were number Of extra
specials listed and gifts were given
ty-five children with parents that
came in the store on that day. In
that way, altho a heavy rain fell
most of the time. the store was crowd
ed from early in the morning until
closing time, and The W. E. Culver
Hardware Co. experienced the largest
days sales for the year of 1891!
Another impetus to the sale was the
fact that one of the daily papers car
ried a two column STORY" of the 36th
Anniversary OF the store. Pictures of
the old store were used and everybody
in town knew that there was a sale
at The ". E. Culver Hardware Co.
and came to buy-and they bought!
Such a campaign could be carried
on just as successfully at any other
hardware firm. But in order to. do
So the dealer must learn that it is
necessary for him to make trips into
the markets, that he must let the peo-
pie know when there are declines. he
must take his losses at once and turn
his old stocks immediately. He must
arouse the interest Of the town and
in order to do that must offer real
values to the buying public The
whole story crystallizes to one fact
the business is there il you go after
it first. Do not let your competitor
get the jump. The good will built up
on such campaign is worth the en-
tire cost of the. advertising. The re-
suits with The w. E. Culver Hardware
Co. were more than were expected.
The sales for July exceeded those of
the same period last year 1855 per cent
and last year was the biggest year
in it's history

the most interesting of all are a
Valasquez portrait of Philip " of
Spain, which was painted in 1914, and
the .''Linley Sisters" by Thomas Gains

was painted at Fraga, while the mon
arch was on military campaign, in

master. It is said to be the liveIiest
and most brilliant in color of ali the
portraits that .Valasquez painted of
Philip. Instead of the usual sombre
court garb, the king is arrayed in a
brilliant military dress. For many
years this portrait hung in the palace
at Madrid, but some time before the

One of George M. Stones latest
works is an oil portrait. done from
photographs, of Jimmie Wise, the lit
tie son of Bishop and Mrs. James
Wise. Jimmie died about two years
ago.
The portrait is based largely on a
small snapshot picture taken of the
little boy while he was at play in the
yard of his home. Mr.. Stone says this
is the first out-of-doors portrait that
he ever painted. The sunlight effects
are well expressed.
It is reported that the well known
painter and etcher Frank w. Benson,
after a long period entirely given over
to the pursuit of his art. has again
teaching. He has agreed to take a
class in painting this coming winter
at the Rhode Island School Of Design.
He taught for many years at the Bos-
ton Museum Of Fine Arts.
1t is said by those who know, that
lovers of art who visit London should
not fail to go to the Dulwich Gallery,
located in the suburban village Of Dull
witch, in the County of Surrey, five
miles from London Bridge.
In the year 1906, Edward Alleyn,
an actor and theatrical manager,
founded at Dulwieh a college which
he piouSly named, Gods Gift COL
lege,,' To this college he bedueathed
a few pictures ofsindifferent merit but
which he thought were good. A little
later another actor, William Cart
wright added some pictures to Allyn's
little collection. After that came be-
quests from Sir Francis Bourgeois
G765-1S11J, and from Noel Joseph
Desenfans (1745-1S07O This group
of pictures formed the nucleus of the
present gallery, which was founded in
1914.
Since that time the gallery has
grown gradually and new rooms have
been ADDED from time to time. Many
requests have been made.
While there are some modern pic
lures in the ,Dulwich collection, the
greater number are Old Masters, many
of them second rate, but a few works
of the highest order and beauty.
There are several Murillas, some by
Paulo- Veronese and by, Guido REM,

ceived and cared for by a Mexican family. His hardships caused his death, but before he died he gave to the family a description and map of the mining camp. He also reported that the gold obtained from seven years of mining had been stored in an old tunnel because of the impossibility of shipment to civilization.
 The story and map, it is said, have been handed down from family to family for generations. Those who attempted to reach the camp lost their outfits and many did not return. The Indians for years menaced all pros pectors and this condition still exists. augmented by bands of outlaws.
 Consul Has Map
 Max Covite, for several years Mex ican consul at Naco, is said to have been the latest possessor of the priests map. He declared he twice succeeded in getting as far as Casa Blanca from which the ruins of Old Tyopa are visible and it was reported he had not given up hopes of reach ing the place at his death several years ago.
 Bert Grover, a local man, twice started with two companions, to make the perilous journey, but was forced back because of insufficient equip ment, Indians and outlaws.
 Some remarkable gold specimens have been brought back from the vi- cinity of the Old Tyopa, but so far as known no one ever has reached the mines since the old town was destroy ed centuries ago.
