New Day for Army Wife.

The lot of the army wife is a hard one and unless 1t is made easier the army system cannot endure, said Brig Gen. Clarence R. Edwards.
 These wives and daughters of sol diers," he said. have patted their hus- bands and fathers on the back and sent them to war without murmur. They have followed the flag from one place to another, patched and schemed, frozen on one side and roasted on the other from garrison stoves, put up with all sorts of hardships, and never found fault.
 But things are a little different now. They each have a vote and they can reach this system through their representatives in congress. If can comments are not made at least com fortable for women of the army, 1t is my opinion that the system cannot en- durc"

Island Cities In Europe.

There are four cities in Europe which stand wholly or In part on is- lands. Ghent. in Belgium, is built on 26 islands. which are connected by 80 bridges. the city having "as many canals as streets. Amsterdam. in Hol- land. a city of ten miles in circumfer- ence, Is mostly built on piles driven into the sandy subsoil, but the flowing of the tide and the debris of the Aims tel river have made 90 islands, and the city has more canals than streets. The waterways are traversed by over 300 bridges, so that Amsterdam has earned the designation of the Venice of the North Venice is built on so islands, great and small. which are con nected by 400 bridges. There is not a carriage in the city, although footways are abundant. and it Is possible to go from one end of the city to the other on foot. though sometimes long detours must necessarily be made. Petrograd is built on a peninsula and two islands connected by several large stone bridges, and in summer numerous bridges of boats, which. however, are removed at the first frost.

 Mrs. McMullen is the new chairman which augurs well for the department. We want to speak of the real event of the afternoon - the refreshments. From all accounts the hostess had prepared for more than were present but they were fully equal to the gen erous proportions and left literally nothing to be desired.

 A Strange Pancake Party.
 Indeed it was strange, in fact doub- ly so, for there were two Stranges at this pancake party and it was not flat affair by any means. Mrs. Roome was hostess and that in a measure accounts for the spirit of it, but all the guests seemed Stirred up' too and had wonderful time. Cards and dancing were scheduled but a social time as we'll prevailed. Miss Isabelle Hogan demonstrated her prowess at cards and was favored with a delectable' box of candy-at least we think it was cardy from the nasty glimpse we had of it after its pretty wrappings had been undone.
 Miss Frances Strange had as hel guest, her sister, Miss Strange, who has just completed her years work al the Kingman schools. Other guests were Miss Florence Pancake, Miss Is abelle Hogan, Miss Clara Davis, Miss Lura Kinsey, Miss Freda Johnson Miss Rosemary Reinhold, Miss Virgin ia Lockett, Mrs. McRae, Miss Retts Beasley, Mrs. Schuster, Mrs. Desse Carlson, Miss Kathleen Anderson ant Mrs. Frank Noble. The dining room was converted into another seen, after round or so at cards and wher the guests reassembled in it they found a table filled with toothsom, edibles which they were not slow il appreciating.
 At twelve the guests bade thei hostess adieu with ready assurance O a return trip when invited.

"I am glad you asked me, because l have often thought of 1t. and 1t frightened me. My love for you Is like mighty torrent of water that tumbles everything before it, that rushes on and on, ever powerful and strong. It is like fire that threatens to consume that burns fiercely for ever and ever, in spite of everything. It could never be dampened or con quered. It Is like smoldering vol cano that sinners beneath the sur face, giving but faint indications of the force beneath. That Is how l love you"
 The lover who had sought for this was plainly surprised by her words. He made few commonplace remarks and left her. Something told her that she would never see him again.
 His busoess was that of casualty insurance and his theories of balance and risk simply could not stand up under the onslaught of so much fire, water and other destructive forces Chicago Daily News.

STRIVE TO BECOME "AK. .lST"
Not Necessary to Paint Pictures, but to Do Ones Work With Skill
 and Finish.

When we say an artist, we are apt paint picture. We should have clearer conception of what the word artist really means. It is one who does his work with skill and finish. Most cooks can make passably good bread; only the artist offers that which delights feeds and satisfies.
 It is easy enough, though one be not a marksman, to hit barn door with shotgun The artist hits the bulls eye with rife.
 An elevator boy can stop his car within six inches of the floor level, and then jerk 1t into place. The artist finds the exact point the first and every time.
 The pettifogger hangs around the streets and loafing places of the town looking for business, waiting for some one to have falling out, or trouble somewhere. The artist goes among strangers, rents a room on the tenth floor, goes to work and the people come up to him. If he takes vacation they walt until he gets back or go to the woods after him.
 The minister who neglects his prep aration through the week, on Sunday is greeted with empty pews, finds fault with the few faithful ones who do come. The artist Is student every week, gives his people a message full of thought and inspiration. His church is crowded.

Natures Jewel Boxes.

The northwestern part of Uruguay is a newly discovered field for the pro duction of amethysts, which occur In "geodes." The geodes, so plentiful that they are picked up in the fields, are carried on muleback or in carts to the nearest railway station and shipped in barrels to Salto. whence they are transported by river boat to Mountevideo.
 Naturally if will he asked, what is a geode?" Originally. 1t was hole in a rock. Water percolating through the rock deposited silica. making lining for the cavity. The lining grew thick CT and thicker, and after long time, if the rock were broken or "weathered' 10 pieces, a hard neduls would drop out. The nodule is geode; and If, as sometimes happens, the silica has formed crystals inside of it, colored by metallic salts, the geode is a little jewel box containing amethysts.

An odd Bull Fight.

President Obregon of Mexico has given his sanction to bull fighting by appearing one Sunday afternoon when Rodolfo Gaona and Ernesto Pastor fought jointly. He occupied ring side seat. When Pastor, playing the last bull, made what appeared to be a death thrust the President arose to leave, and the band immediately struck up the national anthem. The bull, however. was not dead and start ed to charge. At the sound of the anthem he stopped in his tracks. low cred his head. and with Pastor stand Ing at rigid attention not three feet from the bulls horns, the hymn was completed. A second later the bull tumbled over dead. Veteran fighters asserted the spectacle was the strang- est ever seen in the Mexico City arena. Brooklyn Eagle.

PRAGUE CITY OF PALACES
United States Minister Crane Llves in One of Them, Which He,
 Himself, Purchased.

Prague, capital of Czecho-Slovakia, Is pre-eminently city of palaces. As soon as one has crossed the MOldava by the old Charles bridge-the quaint est, most picturesque bridge in the world, with It's gates fianked with towers and it's group of beautiful stat ues adOrning the parapet-one finds ones self in a quarter of the city en- tirely given to palaces, where in mar row old streets, crooked and grass grown, and about tranquil, silent squares rise the splendid facades of seigneurial dwellings.
 When, following the signing of the peace, England, America, France and Italy were looking for quarters for their diplomatic representatives, these palaces were just what was needed for housing the legations, Raymond Recouly writes in Scribner's. France took over the palace belonging to the Buquoys, a Flemish family which came to Bohemia after the battle of La Montague Blanche and cast in their fortunes with those of the Haps- burgs.
 The United States minister, MT. Crane, has bought with his own money the magnificent palace of the Schon' born. The chateau Is less beautiful less elegant perhaps, than the Buquoy palace, but the gardens are marvellous They rise in terrace after terrace to a hill which overlooks the entire city At the top are the tennis courts, where the diplomatic circle meets daily for afternoon tea.
 The most strikingly original feature of Prague is the "Hradchany," an acropolis of towers, churches and pal aces dominating the capital. From the time that Prague was reduced tc city of secondary importance tht palaces of the "Hradchany" were prac tically abandoned. Now and ther some archduke In disgrace, somt prince in exile, would establish him self in one or another of them for time. The ex-Emperor Charles, while a student at the University of Prague an archduke with apparently n' chance of ever coming to the throne lived there.
 All these palaces, once abandoned deserted, are today occupied by th' president of the republic and the diff ferent ministers. President Masaryl received me In that same sumptuou drawing room which had once beei the salon of the Emperor Charles.

Hsifer Buried In Haystaek.

Looking for needle in | haystack now has its parallel in a heifer in a strawstack. A yearling heifer, which had been lost for five weeks, was eventually found on the home farm, at Clay Centre. Kas. The ami. maj had fallen between two piles of straw and was held captive. It had lived on straw and had only moisture gained from the stacks as water. Al though very thin, 1t is believed the heifer will suffer no permanent effects from its experiences.-Montreal Fam fly Herald.

Give Gray Shaft to England.

Two residents of Stoke Poges have purchased the monument erected by one of the Penns to the Poet Gray, whose "Elegy" is better known than many a poem of greater worth. The donors are making the memorial free gift to the public, with some land, which will prevent any building around it, and 1t is believed that the national trust fund Is willing to hold the property. Such gifts are of inter- national importance and are heirlooms for those who, though they have never seen Stoke Poges, have watched in imagination "the lowing herd wind slowly OCT the lea."-Christian Sci. ence Monitor.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 LIVE STOCK LETTER

Kansas City Stock Yards, May 30,. Though some live stock markets were closed today and there was a general holiday at the packing houses and in other trade lines, fat cattle prices here were 25 to 40 cents higher, with the trade showing considerable snap. Hogs were strong to 10 cents higher, with close clearance, while sheep were steady and lambs 25 cents higher.
 TOday's Receipts
 Receipts today were 7500 cattle, 1000 hogs, and 1000 sheep, compared with 15,00O cattle, 15,000 hogs, and 16,000 sheep a week ago, and II 300 cattle, 17,400 hogs, and 6500 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle
 Killers were in the yards early to- day, and bought fat cattle freely at 25 to 40 cents higher prices. The ac- tivity in the trade was more pro- nounced than for some time. Some steers and heifers mixed sold at $8.50 and weighty steers up to $8.25. The bulk of the fed steers sold at SIPS to $500. Moderate runs are expected next week as last weeks decline and today's holiday at some markets checked the loading. Cows and heif- CTS were quoted 15 to 25 cents higher. Veal calves were steady to strong.
 Stockers and Feeders With few country buyers here, trade in stock and feeding cattle was dull with prices about the same as last weeks low point. Thin cattle are selling at the lowest prices of the past several years, and those who have grass or rough feed can pick up some good bargains.
 Hogs
 Hogs were 10 to I5 cents higher than last week,A close, with trade ac- tive. All the offerings were cleaned up before noon. The top price was S7.75, and bulk of sales $7.25 to $7.65 Pigs sold at $500 to $S.75. The active demand today. together with Inoder' ate receipts expected later in tho week has created the belief that the market is in for general rally.
 Sheep and Lambs

 The team still needs considerable strengthening yet. We were particu- larly weak on first and third. Shelby Lewis, the regular occupant of the initial bag, was off somewhere selling meat. Santillanes, who tried to take care of third, made some costly er- TOTS. It is hardly likely that Santil- lanes will be able to make the team when it is finally made up, though he may show strong enough for the out field, where he plays best.

Gloxes in History.

Gloves were so thoroughly recog- nized as emblems Of trust and honor in former times that they were sent as pledges of safe conduct in times of truce. The one stain on this custom was that the queen-dowager of Ma varre was persuaded to go to Paris to attend the marriage of the king of Navarro, by the embassage of pair of gloves, and, unhappily, on the morn ing of the ceremony, met her death by means of poisoned gloves.

Farm. on Manhattan Island.

Some of the most valuable and pro- ductive real estate in the world is at the lower end of Manhattan island, but there are still patches of vacant, unused land at the northern end. There are even, according to the Ru- ral New Yorker. five farms left on the island, though the land devoted to this purpose is rapidly diminishing. Eleven years ago the number of farms was &, while In 1900 there were 1S4 farms on the island.
