It could not be. Germany was simply

British goods. But the stubborn

NEWSPAPERS GOT NAPoLEON,s
COAT

Mr.. Harding is the first newspaper
man to occupy the white house, and
1t IS to be hoped that he will have bet
ter success than most country editors
who have heck of time satisfying
their subscribers. Speaking of news
paper men and rulers, Napoleon
Bonaparte had no use for editors or
lawyers. He considered them unnec-
essary evils and did what he could to
humiliate and embarass them. There
were thirteen newspapers in Paris
when he became Emperor of the
French and he at once cut the number
to eight. As for attorneys, he sent as
many of them as he could to the gull
lOtine. And yet some people think
Napoleon was the greatest man the
world ever produced. But it was the
newspaper fraternity which finally got
Napoleon's goat. The journalistic
gentlemen of England stirred up the
animosity of the British who, after
forming an invincible coalition, finally
wiped off Mr.. Napoleon's slate of &C
complishment at Waterloo. "-Nebras-

Do PIGEONS THINKR

Recently our attention was called
to the actions of some pigeons in Chi
cago which more than ever before in
dicated that they were governed by
some reasoning power. An employee
of the James B. Glow & Sons has
called our attention to a singular fact
in the actions of some common
pigeons which made their home in and
around the freight sheds across the
Chicago River from their place of
business. These buildings were torn
down to make room for the new Chi
cago & Alton Railroad freight depot
and the pigeons thus deprived of their
regular home took up their position
on an adjoining building Immediately
across the river from the Glow estab-
lishments. In excavating for the
foundations for the new freight depot,
it was found necessary to do some
blasting, and as 'safety-frst" meas
ure the Glow employees working on
the side of the river were informed
so they might step out of the danger
zone. When the first blast was ireC
the pigeons roosting on an adjoining
building flew into the air and 1utter
ed wildly for long after the blast, but
in the course of time they again set
tied down in this same building. A

whistle before the blast to warn al

Power Tests Character

Nothing disclOses real character
like the use Of power. II is easy for
the weak to be gentle. Most people
can bear adversely. But II you wish
to know what a man really is, give
him power. This is the supreme test.
It is the glory of Lincoln that, having
almost absolute power. he never
abused It. except on the side OF mercy.
He spoke not to inflame, not to up
braid, but TO convince. He was the
embodiment OF the self-denial. the
courage, the hope. the nobility Of the
nation.-Robert Green Ingersoll.

Mother of RaIIeonlno.

A washerwoman was the mother OF
balloonlng and II all started in France
about 1850. The washerwOman
wished to dry a skirt more rapidly
than could be accomplished by air and
sunshine. so she rugged it up over the
fireplace. The hot air soon dried the
cloth and the woman was astonished
to see it round out into a ball and
float up TO, the ceiling. A neighbor
named MontgOlfier saw the strange
occurrence and it gave him the idea
from which he made the first ballon.

SCALES FOR EVERY SCHOOL

That a third of the school children
of the United States are malnourish-
ed, this number being per cent or
more under normal weight for their
age and height, is the startling state
ment of DR.. William R. P. Emerson
of Boston, an authority on nutrition.
Equally as startling are the results of
an investigation conducted by the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association, in
dicating that fifty per cent of all chill
dren are infected with the tubercle
bacillus before they are ten years old.
Between these two facts is a rela-
ton of very serious concern as it is
we'll known that the undernourished
child is an easier mark for tubercu-
losis than the one of normal weight.
In view of this relation anti-tubercu-
losis workers generally, (and 1900
organizations are affiliated with the
national association in combating the
disease, stress the Importance of keep
ing children up to the correct weight
as a means of warding off tubercu-
losis. Conditions of underweight, of
course, cannot be detected accurately
without the use of scales, and this is
why they should be in every school.
Although definite figures relative to
the entire state are unavailable, in.
vestigation made by the child hygiene
division OF the State Board Of Health
indicate that thousands Of Kansas
children are seriously underweight
Besides engaging in numerous Othel
activities, the Kansas State Tubercu
losis Association is working to correct
these conditions, and is this yea
making a special effort along thi.
line. Under a plan worked out by Dr.
Charles H. LerrigO, executive ssere
tary OF the association, each schOo
may obtain a set Of weighing ant
measuring apparatus by selling
Christmas seals. Schools NithOu
such equipment viii do well to loci

FREE-TRADE FORECASTS AND
FACTS

When from 1916 to 1860, Great
Britain went abroad, selling enormous
quantities of goods, bringing in stores
of gold from Australia, and profting
by the disasters of various European
nations there were many who be-
ieved that Free-Trade would be the
policy of the world. It seemed likely.
Here there were plenty who either
accepted Free-Trade or had not the
courage to fight against it.
But when, in 1851, the United
States adopted a Protective Tariff,
and in 1864 strengthened it, there
were open impugners of such a bold
policy. 1t was said that we could not
afford to impugn British wisdom, that
our experiment was foolish, or even
fOOlhardy, that we would have to re-
turn to the paths of Golden and
Bright; still we did not do so.
There were learned essays which
proved to the satisfaction of THEN
writers that France was insane" in
legislating for her own industries
Great Britain had found out the true
system of political economy, and tc
discard her example was to invite ma
tional bankruptcy. Despite these
essays, however, France adhered tt
her policy, and though all the world
wondered, she grew more resolute.
Forty years or so ago there were

pigeons showed some reasoning
power. After several blasts had been
fired, each of which were preceded by
the sound of the whistle, these pigeons
seemed to have reasoned out con-
neetion between the whistle and the
blast, and immediately as the whistle
blew, they took to the air and remain
ed flying until after the blast, when
they learned to soon settle down
again. Upon two or three occasions,
when the whistle blew and the birds
had taken the air, it happened that the
blast did not go off; then it was
noticed that these pigeons futtered
and flew in a peculiar manner, as
though they did not know what to
make of it and thus indicated that
they undoubtedly associated in their
minds by some process Of reasoning
that the whistle should be followed by
an explosion. These facts were re-
ported to US by a man whose work
faced the scene of this building activ-

Papers all over Kansas are speak
ing words of praise for Hays and its
proposed new million dollar Catholic
College. The Lacrosse Chieftain
says: "The Catholics intend building
a million dollar school building in
Hays. With the State Normal, State
Experiment Station, and the Cathoic
School, Hays will be one of the edu-
cational centers of Kansas"
The McCracken Enterprise makes
this splendid notice: "The announce
ment of the proposed 100000
Catholic College to be built at Hays,
made last week, was the biggest piece
of news that has ever come to this
city. The new bishop of this diocese
of the Catholic church is known as
builder, a vigorous man who does not
know there is such WORD as nature.

movement the success of the project
is assured"
