POLITICAL POO*.
ItMtlou of Great Moment DHWa
mined hr the Game la the
| State of Kanaae.
i • Topeka is much agitated over revelap
tlons of draw poker in high places, and
noth tog could better show than this up
roar what inroads the civilization of the
east Is making on the life of the bound
less prairies. Once upon a time, states
the Tfaneaa City Journal, draw poker was
to Kansas what bridge whist is to the
parlors of the fashionable. It was prac
tised as an art. a pastime, a profession.
No one thought then of concealing his
play of the game, but, rather, it was a
subject of pride and boasting. Indeed.
It was more than a game, for it served at
times In the adjudication of the most
sertous problems of state or government
11 At present the law of Kansas recog
gilts the game of chance known at
"drawing lota" as the proper means ol
Sodding all ties in elections, but form
erly draw poker wts resorted to ss a
I more orderly means of compromising
For example, in one of the western coun
ties, when two amiable gentlemen tied
for the office of representative thej
played a game of “freeze-out” to de
termine which should enjoy the office.
Again, not so many years ago, when the
senate committee on congressional ap
portionment came to ‘•s deadlock over the
divers plans for dividing the state into
congress districts, lu® members ad
journed to a- room In the Copeland, took
each a generous sta'ck of chips and
played to a finish. Under the terms ol
this historical game the committeeman
who lost his chips withdrew himself and
his apportionment plan from further
consideration; and when the game was
reduced to two< gentlemen, tjie one who
froze the other out fixed the plan of ap
portionment, which stands with little
change as the plan of to-day.
Volumes could be written of poker in
cidents in Kansas. Qnce a well known
congressman, who, by the way, has reap
neared in Kansas politics, had to meet
the charge made by some overprudish
people that he was addicted to the game
of poker. He appealed to his political
asociates to help him out. The one who
came most energetically to his recuse
was Capt. Bill Hackney, the Winfield
statesman. "I am In a position to state,"
certified the doughty captain, "that Mr.
Blank is less addicted to the game than
any man I ever played with.”
More elaborate but quite as effective i
was the defense once made by Steve Os- j
born, ex-speaker of the Kansas house. |
Some 12 years ago Steve was running for
reelection to the office of district judge
In western Kansas. The pops got out a
handbill accusing* him of being a "poker
player” and circulated it widely.
IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAVEL.
Comfortable Fittings of Railway
Care for the Benefit of Snh
arban Passengers.
Some newspaper attention has lately
been attracted to the “club cars” by
which little groups of wealthy New York
and Chicago business men Increase the
comfort of the daily trips between their !
suburban homes and their city offices,
states Youth’s Companion. ,
Each car Is in effect a club house on !
wheels. Most of the gorgeous fittings of
the ordinary cars are removed, and simp
ler and more tasteful decorations are
substituted for them. Movable wicker
chairs replace the fixed seats. Electric
fans cool the air In summer. There are
dressing rooms, libraries, appartments
for the women, In | lort, everything
which tan contribute to the comfort of
the travelers.
The cars are open only to members of
the group which hires them, but they
represent merely the climax of a con
stant Improvement In travel, both by
water and by rail. ..
At the other end of the scale we see the
steerage accommodations of the ocean
steamships. Persons who are familiar
only with the horrible conditions for
which “a steerage passage" used to stand
would be astonished if they were to visit
i a modern liner. More room, more light.
more privacy, better food, better sleep
ing and sanitary accommodations end
an abundance of water, both for drinking
and' fdr bathing, are now possible even
to the poor immigrant. The steerage
i passage of to-day Is a more comfortable
: mode of travel than was the second
cabin passage ten years ago. First
cabin accommodations have improved
correspondingly. One of the newest
vessels has between 40 and 50 suites of
rooms, each provided with its private
bath.
What is most needed now is a substitu
tion of wicker or leather seats for the
unsanitary plush so dear to American
car builders and album makers, and
greater seating capacity in street cars.
Jo Ice on the Professor.
Once upon aptime Prof. Wilson, of
Edinburgh, wrote on the blackboard ia
j his laboratory:
“Prof. Wilson Informs his students
that he has this day been appointed hon
! orary physician to the queen."
In the course of the morning he had
occasion to leave the room, and found on
his return that a student had added to
the announcement the words:
“God save the queen.”—Michigan

IS LACKING IN SYMPATHY.
Charge Hade Against the New Wom
an—Considerations That Might
Lead Her to Admit It.
One of the charges that are
made against the “new woman” is
that she is less sympathetic than
is her sister who abides closely in
what is called “woman’s sphere,”
says the Portland Oregonian.
But in the light of the above ar
raignment of sympathy as the vice
that it not infrequently is, may
not the “new woman” confess
judgment upon this charge and
strengthen her case and her posi
tion by so doing? Woman has
been called a ministering angel,
but would not a more practical
name better befit the women of
the twentieth century? Will
not the services of women to the
world be greater and of more en
during effect if they cast aside un
reasonable sympathy as a worn
out garment that discloses rather
than conceals the moral naked
ness of those about whom it is
cast, and substitute therefor the
armor of personal responsibility?
It has been said that there is a
woman behind the door of every
man’s success. “If there is,” says
the writer, “rest assured that she
isn’t a sympathetic woman whin
ing through the keyhole: ‘Give it
up if it’s hard,’ but a woman of
nerve and backbone who, like the
Spartan woman of old, is crying
out: ‘Come home with your
shield, or on it.’ ”
MOLLIFIED THE GRIZZLY.
Chief of Southern TJtes Had an In
terview with a Bear at Close
Quarters.
“The most interesting story I
ever heard came from the lips of
old ‘Buckskin Charley,’ chief of
the southern Utes,” said Mr. J. P.
Altberger, of Philadelphia, to a
Washington Post reporter.
“As told by a white man the
narrative is tame, indeed, lacking
the dramatic action and eloquence
of the red warrior. It was about a
meting with a big grizzly bear in
the mountains of Colorado.
Charley was out looking for deer.
He was equipped with an old-fash
ioned, single-barrel, muzzle-load
ing rifle, which put him at a terri
ble disadvantage, when he was
suddenly confronted by one of the
biggest specimens of the grizzly
tribe he ever saw.
“ ‘I jumped behind big tree very
quick,’ he said, ‘and Mr. Bear came
close, rearing up on his hind legs.
I was scared to shoot, only hav
ing one barrel. Then I com
menced to talk. I said: “Mr. Bear,
I am your friend- I come out after
deer. I hope you go way and so I
kill deer and leave big piece of
meat for you.” Then the bear
seemed to get friendly, and he
dropped on his legs to the ground,
much as to say he’d like a piece
of deer, and then he run off into
the mountains.’ ”
METHOD IN COOKING EGGS.
▲unt Dinah Sings Two Verses of
Hymn for Soft Boiled and
Three for Hard.
.Crooks are often accused of
want of method, but the Aunt
Dinah in Howard Paul’s new egg
story is not open to any such re
proach, says London Truth. In
variably when she put the eggs in
the saucepan she began singing
“Rock of Ages,” and sang through
two verses. “Aunt Dinah,” asked
Mr. Paul, “are there not three
verses in that hymn?” “Dar is,
massa, but I sings only two
when I wants ’em soft and three
when I wants ’em hard.”
His other egg story is good, too.
He was traveling on a Pennsyl
vania railway, and when his
breakfast was brought the eggs
were underdone. “What time are
we making on this train?” he
asked the waiter. “A mile a min
ute, sir.” “Then boil the eggs
another mile and they’ll be quite
right.”
How Steel Is Replacing Wood.
, Steel !s taking the place of wood
in construction. Many freight
cars are now built entirely of
steel. Steel hopper coal cars are
in use on most of the coal roads—
huge things larger than the old

and capable of being rapidly un
loaded by means of the hoppers in
the bottoms.—World’s Work.

MOCCASINS FOR SOLDIERS.
Inquiries Made by Representatives of
Pow«t-s at War for “Bangor’s
Golden Slippers.”
Inquiries have been received in
Bangor, Me., from' persons sup
posed to represent either the Rus
sian or the Japanese government
concerning prices for moccasins
in large quantities and the earli
est date of delivery at Atlantic or
Pacific ports. It is supposed that
the moccasins are wanted for sol
diers campaigning in Manchuria.
For that purpose they would be
eminently suitable, says the New
York Sun.
The moccasin is the favorite
footwear of the lumbermen of
Maine, and was first made in Ban
gor in 1851. At first only one or
two styles were made, but now
moccasins are manufactured in
great variety, ranging from slip
pers for women and children—
soft as kid and embroidered witl^
beads—to the stout boots and lar
rigans of the Penobscot lumber
men.
Much of the sewing is still done
by hand, being let out by the piece
to French Canadian families in
the neighborhood of Bangor. All
moccasins are made of a specially
prepared leather, rendered a gold
en yellow by a peculiar process of
tanning.
The common moccasin is not
proof against water, but it has
room for several pairs of stock
ings, and that is a strong point in
its favor. For keeping the feet
warm and dry in cold weather the
moccasin has no eqnal.
The greater part of the mocca
sin leather still comes from the
place of its origin, Pawtucket,
R. I., although a considerable
quantity is tanned in Bangor.
Some years ago Bangor men es
tablished factories at Red Wing.
Minn., and Racine, Wis.
The dainty bath slippers, which
are not really moccasins, but are
made from/soft elk skin, are in
great demand at home and abroad,
and are especially favored by the
ladies of Japan, to which country
Bangor sends large quantities. It
now seems likely that “Bangor’s
golden slippers,” as moccasins are
called, may be worn by the con
tending armies in Manchuria.
JAPAN’S FIRST IRONCLAD.
—
Her Crew Made a Brave Start, But
Couldn’t Stop Her Till Fires
Went Out.
That the role of Japan as a mar
itime power is a new one is
brought strongly to our notice by
recalling the quite -well authen
ticated story of the first adven
ture of the first Japanese iron
cladfsays Country Life.
She was built in England.
While she was building her crew
were also in England practicing,
in other ironclads how to drive
.her. When she was finished the
Japanese seamen took possession
of her, bravely maintaining that
they were fully equal to the task
of starting her.
And that, to be sure, they were,
for she steamed out finely. The'
trouble' only began when she came;
back to port again. Then, when
they wanted to slow her down and
atop her, they were unable to do j
80.
They had to put her out to sea
again and go on steaming her!
about till her tires went out, her
engines stopped for want of
steam, and she could be towed in.
From this to having the Jbest
mentally-equipped crews, perhaps,
of any nation seems a long step,
but it has been a very rapid one.
Insect Senses.
Naturalists have decided that
many insects have senses which
human beings lack. That of loca
tion, shown by the wasp, for in
stance, is remarkable. One spe
cies builds its neBt in a sandbank
that is only a part of several acres
of such soil, and when it leaves in
search of food it covers the nest so
carefully that no ordinary eye
could discover its location. That
is to say it is just like all the sur
rounding location, and yet the
wasp flies back to it without hes
itation and finds it without mak
ing a mistake. There is another
wasp tlat unerringly locates the
eggs of the mason bee under a
thick layer of sun-baked clay, and
deposits her eggs in the same
cells that her young may have
food when they are batched.

Pimples?!
Pimples, boils, scrofula, sores and
other disfiguring skii eruptions arise
from impure blood «nd why take
evil tasting doses of crug saturated
alcohol, when you can get small,
pleasant and tasteless Johnston’s
Tonic Capsules. They xtake pure
bloo^and cure skin troubles.
Johnston’* Tonic Capsule* arc the very ben
vegetable blood medicines condensed into a small,
easily taken, tasteless capsule, without alcohol.
You can carry them in a tiny box in the pocket
and taka them anywhere without attracting
notice. In them you get the condensed curatives
of true medicinal plants, roots, bark*, blossoms,
leavas and fruit —the health-giving qualities
nature hae stored in the products of field, swamp
and wildwood.
Johnston’* Tonic Capsule* are the surest,
safest, most reliable, convenient and satisfactory
medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich
the blood. They unload it of every impurity and
at the same time so promote the nutritive func
tions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and
life-sustaining qualities. They make the blood
pure and rich, and through pure blood the bodily
structures come right, because they depend on
the blood for nourishment and renewal.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Cnpsnten
have been held in high esteem as a most reliable
end satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheuma
tism, ecxema, old sores, painful swellings, kernels
and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy, boils, liver
complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation,
kidney tronbles and a long list of common ail*
and ills.
We have great confidence In this medicine; a
confidence born of many years' experience with
it, and we make the following extraordinary
offer: Send us a dollar for a large box of John
ston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same of dealer
whose name appears below, use half of them, and
if you are not satisfied, mail the balance to us and
we will return your money. Test them at our risk

THE AMUSEMENT WONDER
THE WORLD’S FAIR PIKE.
Dunnarant A Williams* Harrelous la*
vention, the Hissing Link connecting
Imagination and Realism—The One
Unique Feature in a Hlle of Shows—
Remarkable Journey awaits World's,
Fair Visitors.
/
In the history of World’s Expositions,
perhaps in no division does the public de
mand greater progress than in its amusement
features, and that this has been the para
mount and successful endeavor of Dunnavant
a Williams, Inventors and builders of Under
and Over the Sea, one needs but take pas
sage and be oonvlnced.
In this great production on the Pike,
scientists, Inventors, artists, mechanics
and electricians have vied with each other
toward s common goal, "originality."
Neither time nor money has been spared,
and the public demands have been met and
exceeded, in the full realization of s sub
marine voyage to Paris, and return by air
ship, Can you imagine the sensations of
such a trip? No; then embark with mel The
hatchway through which we have entered
this monster iron fish is hermetically sealed;
our 498 fellow passengers (the capacity of our
boat is 600) comfortably seated; the captain,
by a secret code of signals, Issues his com
mands; the well-trained crew make ready
for our novel journey; the huge hull of the
submarine monster quivers gently, and then
gradually but surely we feel our strange craft
sinking, sinking down to the lowest beds
of the ocean. From the powerful electrio
search lamps, suddenly, light breaks at each
side of the cabin, through the two oblong
crystal plates, separating ns from the sea.
The obscurity of the cabin shows to advan
tage the brightness outside, and what » y ^
spectacle is revealed to our bewildered j
vision—flowers, fungi, polypi, plants, shells!
and rock, a veritable kaleidoscope of green!
yellow, orange, violet and blue. With ejp
cited exclamations of wonder and admiration
we gaze through the crystal plates, at rlie
aquatic army surrounding ns. The boaws
manometer indicates our depth now—1,000
fathoms below the surface—and our oaptain,
a careful, brave and experienced submarine •
skipper* skillfully manipulating the electric
switchboard at which he standn '^always and
ever alert to the dangers of the deep—stops
our downward course and points his vessel
straight ahead; the pressure of an electrio
button is simultaneous with a convulsive throb
as the mighty engine responds, the giant pro
peller churns the sea into a foaming fury and
with a leap and bound, as of a frightened
thing of life, we plunge forward through tho
transparent watery mass to explore the un
known depths.
The denizens of the sea startled Into an
activity they have seldom known, so engross
our attention, the approach of a mammoth
narwhale or unicorn of the sea is quite unnoticed
until almost upon us. The at first startled pas
sengers are quickly reassured by the captain.
There Is no danger; our armament has been
well looked to in the emergency of attack,
but as the monster fish playfully circles
around us, strangely familiar and pleasant
slve jaws ot our friendly Inclined escort open
and reveal a semi-earthly being, contentedly
seated on lta monster green tongue, and in a
fine basso voice is singing the lay of the deep
blue sea; the torpedo-like velocity of our
craft, however, soon leaves the serenader,
far in our wake, the echoes of this presum
ably Jonah’s voice, have hardly died away,
when far,, ahead and immediately in our
course is seen the mermaid’s play-ground,
various kinds of isis, clusters of pure tuft
coral, and prickly fungi form a beautiful gar
den on the ocean’s bed; a shoal of mermaids /
appear to our now thoroughly delights^7
visions', the delicately tinted gold and slives
be-scaled bodies gracefully bounding over J
under and around the boat, as If imbued witb\
earthly vanity, they would rival each Oth—'
brightness.
With never-ending and tireless energy,
great speed undiminished, we rush madly on;
our goal is soon at hand; the pumps are set
in motion—the water drawn from the tanks.
Our now buoyant vessel speedily finds the
surface, and the thrilling subterranean pas
sage has ended. Disembarking, we are
guided to the base of Eiffel Tower; Immense
elevators take us to Its summit, where a mas
sive airship restlessly tugging at its moor
ing awaits to carry us back over land and
sea. All aboard 1 Cast anchor; and the bird
like wings moving up and down, the flight
through space has commenced. Paris soon
fades from view as with the speed of light we
rush along the pathless wastes; meteors,
comets, beasts of the 4 air, and lightning
storms are encountered, but undismayed is
the captain of this weird craft, and emerging
from a bank of clouds, our astonished and
bewildered senses are now completely dazed
at the vision that greets our eyes—the Worl
Fair is spread out immediately below
