NEVER LINC0LN'S REAL LOVE
His Marriage With Mary Todd Seems
to Have Been Largely Matter
Of Convenience.

Mary Todd, wife Of Abraham Lin
coin, was the sort Of woman who Is
described as capable and upright"
Lincoln, 1t Is testified by blographers,
was not deeply in love with Mary,
either before or after their marriage.
AS matter of fact, his heart was
buried In the grave Of his first love,
and he had proposed marriage to a
second and unwilling young woman.
BY the time he married Mary Todd,
who was neither beautiful nor gra-
clous, he had come to regard marriage
as a necessity rather than as the ultl-
mate result Of love and romance.
Their courtship was long and suf-
fered many bumps and separations
before 1t eliminated IN marriage.
When Lincoln first met Miss Todd
she was only sixteen years old and
was being courted by Stephen Doug
las the great mans rival In many
things.
Lincoln had suggested In a rather
oflhand way that he would marry her
Apparently regret set in rather soon
for he made several attempts TO grace
fully withdraw from the compact.
But Mary, with prophetic vision, had
an idea that he would one day reach
the White House and she was deter
mined to be its mistress.

GOING NATURE ZONE BETTER"
Man Has Been Engaged In Work Of
Altering Domestic Animals for
Many Centuries.

What a curious thing 1t is to realize
that st. Bernard, a Pekinese, and
Skye terrier all three come from a
common wild stock
Man has been altering domestic
animals of every kind for centuries
past. He has taken the common pl-
geon and invented something like 60
distinct varieties, while hundreds Of
different sorts Of fowls have come from
the original jungle bird Of Ceylon.
Curious experiments have been made
in colorlng birds by feeding them on
certain foods. One man obtained pl-
geons of beautiful red by putting in
their food a chemical with the terrible
name Of "methyltrabromo 1uoreslne,"
and he got others Of rich blue by
similar means.
Man is changing not only animals
and birds, but also fish and Insects.
Take bees, for instance. OF course,
various species of bees are constantly
crossed In order to get kinds that will
produce bee which Shall be more
useful for fertilIzing flowers than any
OF the present sorts.
With object, certain breeders are
trying to produce bee with a longer
tongue than any possess at present.
For flowers like clover such a bee
would be invaluable, since the result
would be a great increase Of fertile
flowers, and, consequently, seed.
The latest branch Of creation which
man is tackling with view to modi-
flying is fish. The experiments were
begun at the University Of Chicago,
about five years ago.

DEBATE is LOSING
OratOry Also Doesn't Get the
Proper Recognition Now.
Debate Coaches Decry the Lack
of Interest in Contests.

Emporia. Kan, May SIS debate
and oratory in college on the de-
cline? Whatever the answer to this
question may be. Kansas debate
coaches are unanimous in their opin-
ion that debate and oratory as col
lege activities do not receive the
recognition they rightfully deserve
and that as preparation for leader
ship and success in life, these activi-
ties rank high in comparison with
other college activities. especially ath-
letics, according to reports received by
Kansas State Normal Officials
Debate coaches are at variance,
however. in their opinion of what may
be done to interest more students in
debate. Some believe there can be
no further interest and enthusiasm
created.
II consider the lack of interest in
forensics due primarily to the attl-
tude of administrative heads, which

Prof. Z. r. Barrett, head or the

popular"
LAS for training for leadership
said Maurice a. Hess, debate coach
at Mcpherson college, 4 believe de
bate is far superior TO athletics. be
cause important decisions are deter
mined by mental alertness rather than
physical prowess. The degree OF sup
port of debate and oratory VIII be
determined by those in charge. 1t is
necessary TO talk it up the same as
athletics"
Prof. V A Davis. debate coach at
the Normal here, believes that debate
furnishes much better preparation for
leadership than athletics.
Alumni reports of the Pittsburg
Normal. according to J. Pelsma, de-
bate coach. show that the graduates
who took part in forensic activities
while in college receive 10 per cent
higher salaries than other alumni
Reports for the various debate
coaches indicate that the quality of
work done in school by students who
participate in debate and oratory is
above the average.

Fine Lessons ON Housekeeping.
Mildred Tacka berry and Katherine
Hudson, instructors in food economics
and nutrition at X. S. A. c., have pre-
pared lessons for use in girls clubs
in Kansas The lessons include five
on general cookery, one on quick
breads, one On table etiquette and
service, and one on dish washing. The
outline for the lessons was suggested
by Alene Him of the extension di-
vision. Certain of the lessons, such as
in preparing for demonstrations and
contests held when members of the
girls clubs visit the college.
Increase Milk Production.
The average milk production per
COW in Kansas is $3.50 pounds a year.
The average for cows in COW testing
associations is 6,06S pounds. This in
crease has been brought about in as
sociation herds by eliminating the un-
profitable cows. using pure-bred sires
from high producing dams. and feed
ing heavier and better balanced ra-
tions. say the dairy specialists at the
