If it is Roosevelt's idea to "bubt"
the trusts by spending their money
in this campaign, he may succeed.
For a prohibitionist like Chafin a
single term might be enough but
no ordinary man was ever satisfied
with one drink.
A female philosopher says that
as long as a woman can keep out
of a man’s reach she can keep him
thinking she is worth reaching for.
One of the president's Florida
admirers has presented him with a
basket of mangoes, and doubtless
they afford a welcome relief from
the lemons that have been coming
in so frequently.

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM A EAlll'ilE.
The election Monday fconvinced
us more thoroughly than ever that
the theory of the initiative and
referendum of letting the people
make the laws or 0. K. what the
legislature has made is not practi
cal.
Out of the 92 votes polled here
Monday only 72 voted for or
against the amendments and three
fourths of that numberdid not vote
intelligently. It is safe to say that
there was not a man of the 92
voting but who favored amendment
13. limiting the amount and per
diem and mileage of the general
assembly, but there were only 55
votes in favor of it and 17 against
while 20 voted neither way.
If the voters could be made to
study the proposed changes in
laws and then vote on them it
might work, but only about one
half as many votes are cast at the
state election as in the Democratic
primary so the people really have
no more to do with the making of
laws than they have by electing
their representatives and senators
in the primary.
WHY WORRY?
Sickness may come: death may
be at the door: but the man who
does not give up cuts down the
doctor bills and cheats the under
taker altogether.
Business deals may go wrong
and financial disaster may threat
en: but the min who takes stock
in himself and remains on the job
seldom enters the bankruptcy
court.
Poverty may be at the door, and
hard luck may bring adversity, but
the man who takes his fortune with
a smile will be at the dock when
his ship comes in.
So, why worry?
Worry saps vitality, brings gray
hairs, produces wrinkles, and it can
turn a sunshiny day into a dreary
one.
Without a cloud in the sky, wor
ry can make one believe there will
be a downpour any minute.
Worry discounts bills receivable, j
adds interest to those which are to j
be paid, and disturbs the scheme |
of things generally.
It never won a battle. It never j
cleared a situation. It never;
solved a problem. Milwaukee I

ENJOYING!
HERSELF
"If," said the young woman who
had just come in, "I had to be chloro
formed fifty-one weeks in the year,
and could enjoy life for only seven
days, I think i'd choose to be awake
bargain week at the stores.
"I have had the most beautiful time
this week just being busy. One day I
would go downtown and buy things
and have them sent home and the
next day I'd go down and take them
hack. Between whiles I’d show them
to all my friends who dropped in and
have them tell me why they didn’t
like my selections. When nobody
dropped in I'd call on them and ex
plain to them why I disapproved of
their purchases and advise them to
return them at once. Of course, all
this criticism was taken in the proper
spirit.
“When you've purchased a perfect
love of a blue chiffon gown and get it
home only to find it is purple instead
of blue, you wouldn't have any re
spect for a friend who didn’t, say it
was a horror and tell you to run
back with it. Things do look differ
ent the next day—have you ever no
ticed? Even men find it so. I passed
the necktie counter in a dry goods
store the other day and a man with a
pained face was talking confidentially
to the clerk.
“ ‘Say,’ he was complaining, ‘when
this was in the window it was a bee
yutiful lavender dream, and when I
tried it on at home it was nothing
but a sartorial crime, so kindly take
it back and let me buy a can of tooth
powder in its place. I need a snow
shovel, too—do you carry ’em!'
‘Tve always regarded myself as a
person of a sane and just mind,” went
on the young woman who had just
come in, “but recent occurrences have
shaken that belief. You know that
when you plant a woman in the midst
of mountains of $85 dresses marked
down to $30 and hurl at her bewild
ered head $200 opera coats that are
marked down to $50 and thrust upon
her sight hats that a month ago had
$60 tags attached to their brims and
now have nice little black marks
through the old figures and $12 signs
below them, she can’t be blamed for
going a little mad and buying reck
lessly. Then on the way home site
adds up her purchases mentally, feels
nervous, dashes for her checkbook as
soon as she reaches her room and
finds, to her sickening horror, that,
while her bank account totals ninety
odd dollars, she has bought $148
wmrth of stuff that she is trustingly
expected to pay for at the first of
the month.
is it any wonder sne lies awaae an
night waiting for the hour to come
when she can tear downtown to be
at the store when its doors open?
Why, a regular groove has been worn
in the store floors to the returned
goods desks these days.
"If 1 go downtown bargain week
with the mild intention of buying a
spool of thread, a holt of baby rtbbor.
and a box of handkerchiefs. I'm just
as likely as not to come hm ,e with
fifteen yards of silk marked down
from $3.50 a yard to i)S cents, a new
hat and a fur coat. Then I discover
that I can't possibly wear the hat
with any outfit 1 possess and that
the silk is a color that makes me look
like a broiled mushroom, and some
body points out that spring is almost
here and, instead of a fur coat, wh.r
I really need is a linen duster and a
parasol.
“If you think it Is fun trying tr
hand good money to the man behind
the counter for some yards of sill;
it's because you know nothing of what
gentle woman will do at a sale. It
is enough to discourage and appali
any mild mannered person when a
woman with a sharp chin and vig
orous ann muscles reaches over vour
shoulder and grabs the bolt of silk
you are considering and slings it tip
on the pile she already has in her
arms, then smashes her way through
the crowd to the door to consider hot
plunder in the daylight. Presently she
will return to the edge of the mob
about the counter and hurl the whole
armful across the heads of the inter
vening shoppers in the direction .of
the clerk, with the remark that sh<
should think a decent store would be
ashamed to show such goods. Occa- j
sionally one of the holts so hurled
hits the counter, but most of them
descend on the Innocent bystanders
like the unexpected sticks from ex- >
ploded skyrockets. It is disconcerting
when twenty yards of green brocade
land on your willow plumes and drive
a hatpin into your skull, although, of
course, you can't help but admire the
skill of the woman who achieves such
a result with one simple twist of the
wrist.
“No," concluded the young woman
who had just come in, “I can't stay for
tea, because I'm on my way downtown
to take back three silk petticoats that
don't match the dresses I bought
them for and to hunt up a few shirt
waists that won’t fit wben'I g«t them
home. Oh, it's a gay life, and it lasts
only a week, so don't interfere with
the wheels of progress by your Invita
tions. I haven't time for breakfast
and dinner, to say nothing of a merf
five o'clock tea."
A Point to Remember.
“I sgp where 10,000,000 copies of
the Ilible were sold last year."
“Remarkable!"
“Yes, indeed. And they were no*

Some Gun Play.
Old-Time Westerner Gives Him
Some Real Excitement and
Back to New York
He Hies.
Oklahoma City, Okla.—Ernest L.
Lucas came to the southwest from
New York several months ago to be
a cowboy long enough to recuperate.
After a visit to Texas he settled in
Osage county, Oklahoma, chiefly be
cause he had an acquaintance there
and because it is in the cattle graz
ing section.
The real, old-fashioned cowboy has
disappeared trmn Oklahoma, but
Lucas didn’t know it, and he had pro
vided himself with ail the convention
al cowboy paraphernalia, including
jingling spurs. He engaged on a cat
tle grazing ranch near Pawhuska, and
the day after his arrival put on his
oowboy outfit and rode forth.
Lucas managed to act and look like |
a real cowboy while be pastured the
beeves from Texas. Also he met Pete
: .lenbins, proprietor of a livery stable,
who used to be a cowboy and is sorry.
Lucas and other men from his
ranch were in a “bootlegger’s” place
when Jenkins came in. Lucas had
just called for a round of drinks and
he invited Jenkins to join. Jenkins
politely declined, fie knew the other
boys and winked at them. Lucas in
sisted, and when the stranger again
declined he drew his big revolver and
ordered him up to the bar.
Jenkins’ eves grew large and round
and he took the drink without further
protest. Then Lucas ordered him to
dance, and after a few bullets had
whizzed close to his feet Jenkins oblig
ingly compiled. I,urns had fun with
him for nearly half an hour before
permitting him to depart.
Jenkins went bad: to the livery sta
ble, dug out his old cowboy clothes
and hat, shook the oats out, and put
them on.* Then he, resurrected the
revolvers he had carried when he rode
the Oklahoma and Texas ranges, oiled
and hung them in his belt, and rut
on the old spurs. He was trans*
formed from a livery stable keeper
into tiie cowboy he had been years
ago. He found Lucas and his friends
still at the "bootlegger’s.”
Lucas recognized Jenkins and his
astonishment was great, for he real
ized now he was face to face with a
real cowboy. Jenkins ordered the
drinks and they all lined up Then
he ordered Lucas to hands and
knees.
Lucas complied and Jenkins sat on
his back and spurred him. He rode
Lucas around the room, down the
dust-covered stairway and into the
street. As Lucas “galloped” down the
street on all fours, Jenkins took out
his revolvers and for a few seconds
there was a stream of fire from their
muzzles.
The crowd enjoyed It. Lucas took
the first train back to New York.
LIGHTNING STEALS TEETH

Pitney, N. J.—The next time Walter
Campbell of No. 136 South Broadway
sees a bolt of lightning trekking for
him he will not await Its coming with
complacency. He will bolt Tor door

He recalled a streak of lightning

and then darted for the door as if it had
been playing tag with him. He could
not account for the lost teeth, except
on the theory that the lightning either
had burned them to a liquid, had swal

with it. Neighbors who had seen the
freak of the lightning hurried to the
house, expecting to find Campbell
dead. He was alive and hopeful, but
resolute that never again should light

clenched teeth.
PARIS HAS NEW PROPHET
Theosophists Believe This Hindoo the
Precursor of Moral Trans
formation.
Paris.- Then ophists of F trope have
their thoughts directed toward Paris,
tor in Paris has arrived a new Hindoo
prophet, who is regarded by many
theosophists as the precursor, the ul
timate master, who is to give to the
world its long expected moral trans- j
formation. lie is a mere hoy, fifteen
years old. and lip comes from Adgar In
India. At fourteen he wrote a hook
called “At the Feet of the Master,"
which has been translated into many
languages and is said by theosophists
to be inspired by a high consciousness
of human needs. To them the prophet,
who is called both Krishnamurti and
Alcyone, confirms J>y his presence the
assertions of Mrs. Annie Besant In her
address in the Sorbotine last year that
a profound change Is coming in the
life of humanity and that it is to en
ter upon a new phase to be signalized
by the coming of the master who is to
establish a new religion.
