IT ALL DEPEND8 ON THE POINT
OF VIEW.
At the recent convention of the
Southwestern Iowa Teachers' associa
tion" In Council Bluffs there was a
lengthy discussion of the question:
"Is (Basketball Played by Girls Im
modest?" Professor Ensign of Iowa
university declared emphatically that
it was. Professor Storm took the
same view and could not see that mat
ters would be helped if the girls wore
short skirts over their bloomers. An
Omaha educator present made the as
sertion that girls are not the same in
gymnasium suits. Said he:
"They do things in that garb which
they-would blush to think about while
in ordinary attire."
Admitting that the Omaha profes
sor knows what he is talking about
when referring to the "'things" the
g'rls do when in "that garb," the very
fact that they would "blush to think
a'.jout these things while in ordinary
attire," certainly should banish the
charge that basketball for girls is im
modest.
No matter what these "things" are
Of which the Omaha professor speaks,
whether they be standing on the head
or kicking the chandelier,' if they oe
confined solely to the gymnasium floor
far removed from the masculine vis
ion they could hardly be called Im
modest.
There is just a suspicion that Bome
of the learned professors must have
been "peeking" when the girls were
doing their gymnasium stunts, else
why should they know so much of the
fair gymnasts' actions?
As an example of where the line is
drawn between modesty and immod
esty the case of that girl over in Mar
ion, Ind., might be cited. She attired
herself in her brother's clothes and
sallied forth. That was immodest.
Then she thought to test her disguise
by entering into an argument with a
passing man. That was foolish. For
the man took exceptions to one' of her
remarks, and. knocked her down.
REFORMING ON THE QUIET.
Occasionally some individual comes
tt tfie conclusion that' things are all
awry, that crime is spreading, poverty
increasing land that the world gener
ally is going from bad to worse. Some
times these individuals come from the
clergy or the press, and then the pub
lic is given & few doses of pessimism
in oral or written form. Usually this
is kept -up for a time and then drop
ped when some new public question
arises', and conditions remain the same
as before. Touching upon this char
acteristic of the human race, the Rev.
Thomas C. Hall of New York took oc*
casion while addressing a meeting in
Chicago to say:
"Too much time Is wasted by re.
formers in discussing methods of work
When they might be engaged putting
in good liclcs in the cause of the much
needed upiift among the poor and
•miserable who care nothing about
methods, but are starving for mental
solace, and physical sustenance."
Just a little less talk of the evils
that exist, and just a little more sin
cere effort tp correct and remove
these evils, this is the way the Rev.
Mr. Hall believes reforms should prop
erly be conducted. And if there is any
thing left to reform after the strenu
ous efforts of the last two years it'
might be well for the reformers of the
future to look into his plan before
adopting what is now the accepted
method.
A Chicago night school teacher
whose class consists largely of adult
fpreign pupils has devised a new meth
od of teaching them English.
Instead of calling them by their
baptismal names, she names her pupils
for a week after the produce of the
packers. "You are a sausage," she
says to one. To another, "You are a
pork chop," and to the third, "You are
a ham," again, "You are a lobster.'
This week her pupils are fruits. One
is a lemon. Others are an orange, a
lime, a banana, a plum, and so on.
This Is all right as far as it goes.
But what would be the result, for in
stance if she should call one of her
Irish pupils an "Orange," and be un.
derstood as saying "Orangeman?" and
what if she called another a "peach"
and he was sufficiently familiar with
English to accept the challenge? Or
If she should in naming her class for
products of the grocery call ono of
her German pupils a "barrel of sauer
kraut," or one of the Italian boys a
"bunch of spaghetti?"
ANew York doctor has discovered a
pure for baldness. His plan Is to
throw the rays of a powerful incandes
cent light on the hairless head, which
operates to stimulate vegetation. An
enthusiast who witnessed his first ex
periments had this to say of It:
'j "First he threw the light on a po
tato. In just seven minutes it looked
like a: full bearded cocoanut. He threw
the light around the room and every
object it touched was in line for a hair
out and a shave. As a supreme test
he focused the flame on a mahogany
table, and presently a bright red
fringe made its appearance."
The doctor goes further. He claims
that by substituting different colored
globes he can raise any color of hair
desired. This is to reassure those
that might prefer baldness to red hair.
He adds that when the hair gets
&
growing too fast all you have to do is
turn down the light. We shall await
with interest any further news of this
new discovery.
WHERE FUSION FAILED.-^
The republicans of New York could
not swallow Hearst.
The election of Tuesday which re
sulted in a sweeping Tammany vic
tory over the HearstrRepublican fusion
ticket demonstrated that. If republi
cans had voted the ticket, their votes
added to the strength of the Indepen
dence^ league would have buried Tam
many completely. But the republicans
did not vote the ticket. They, prefer
red defeat to victory bought at such a.
price.
By what devious method of reason
ing Chairman Parsons of the republi
can county committee reached the
conclusion he could turn the republi
cans of New York or any place else
over to Hearst is hard to imagine. Of
course he reasoned that there would
be a large number of voters who would
cast a straight party ticket, but he
might have foreseen that more voters
would jump from the band wagon
when Hearst stepped in than followed
the erratic, four-flush editor-reformer
in.
As for Mr. Hearst there is no need
to weep for his defeat. It haB become
such an old story to him that any
other result might have serious conse
quences.
A lecturer talking to an audience of
Chicago women the other day said:
"The human race is now function
ing in the fifth subrace of the fifth
root race. There are seven of the
root races}, you know. Sex came in
with the second. And it is pretty well
established that Chicago will be the
nucleus of the sixth subrace."
Poor Chicago has trouble enough as
it Is, and it is hoped it will recover
from some of Its present ills before it
becomes burdened with this terrible
sixth subrace of the sixth root race.
A Chicago cooking expert says that
if fat men want to live long they
should observe the following tablo
"don'ts":
Don't drink water, beer, milk or
sweetened coffee or tea with meals.
Don't eat pie, cake or any other
pastry.
Don't use butter or cream to ex
cess.
Don't eat potatoes, rice, cereals.
Don't eat hot bread or blanc mange.
Don't eat at night.
She should have added, "don't eat
at all," and completed the list.
The Mormons beaten in Salt Lake
City, the saloons wiped out in seven
teen Illinois counties and the grafters
whipped in Frisco—Tuesday's election
wasn't such a tame off-yefer affair as
planned.
The report that the fire which burn
ed out the Sioux City Journal office
was caused by red hot antl-Cummlns
editorial has been denied.
A DINING ROOM CAUTION.
Indianapolis News. 'I've seen all
kinds of signs displayed In hotels in
the little, towns in Indiana," said a
traveling trade commissioner, "giving
explicit direction as to what a guest
may or may not do. The other day
I saw this one hung up in a dining
room:
GENTLEMEN MUST NOT
COMB THEIR WHISKERS
AT THE TABLE.
"No, I won't give the name of the
town. I have to visit the place about
once a month, an£ I'm not seeking
trouble."
STORIES PICKED UP.
A sofa spring,
An old cigar
A turkey wing—
And there you are!
A bunch of brush,
Some cotton waste
A'walrus tusk
How's that for taste?
A paving block,
A pretty spray
Of new-mown dock—
Quite nifty, hey?
I could write reams,
I'll tell you that,
Of tasteful schemes
To trim a hat.

SIDELIGHTS.
"Do It Now," is the motlo he had
beautifully mounted and ^Jiung over
his desk, at the establishment where
he held forth as the manager and
moving spirit. He was a fairly suc
cessful youn man, a hustler, ordinar
ily of an impetous nature, hence the
universal business maxim, "Do It
Now." It was on a Saturday, recently,
the hour was about eleven o'clock, and
he had olosed the store which was lo
cated on one of'the busiest through
fares of the city. The night was
pleasant, a bright moon lighted up the
darkness and caused shadows to form
along the tree lined streets through
which he had to pass on his way home.
Wq,en within a short distance of his
home he was startled from his peace
ful reveries by seeing a person emerge
from the dark Bide of a house belong
ing to one of his neighbors, the fellow
was without shoes and was moving in
a stealthy manner about the house and
looked suspicious. "Do It Now,"
flashed across his mind, immediately
his band sought his pistol pocket, "Do
It Now"—but no! Another thought
struck him, hastening to his home that
lay around the corner he disposed of
his surplus cash, changed his coat and
put on a black slouch hat which he
pulled low in front, and rapidly re
traced his steps. Searching the prem
ises he found no sign of the mid-night
marauder and not content to let so good
a chance to play Sherlock Holmes
slip by, he walked down the street to
ward the business part of the city
which brought him within a blpck of
the depot. That must be the maraud
er, thought he, as a young man was
espied carrying a bundle under his
arm, ho was hailed by another
man.*:'as he was about to
turn the corner of the street. Hasten
ing his steps almost to a run. for now

he was hot on the scent, our friend,
the self imposed guardian of his
neighbor's goods, came upon the two
young men and was prepared for any
thing startling that might take place
in an encounter with house breakers.
"Going to Burlington, eh? Well, all
right, how did you get away?"
"I had to throw my duds out of the
window, take off my shoes and slip
out of the house like a thief, in order
to give my sister the slip, you know
she didn't want me to go."
"Do It Now," still hangs in the ac
customed place and underneath it
says, "Be Sure You Are Right, Then
Go Ahead." No more Sherlock Holm
es for me. P. C. E.

I live six miles east of Albla and
was afflicted with rupture for '40
years. I had it strangulated sev
eral times "bo I could not get it
back. The doctors wanted to oper
ate on me and said there was no
other way to be cured, but I would
not be operated on, and flnhlly the
rupture went back.. I suffered se
vere pain from the rupture and did
not get any relief until I went to
Dr. Bonham, who said he could
cure me. I was treated over a year
ago and was soon cured, and have
not worn a truss for some time and
•feel very well, and have no trouble
whatever.

I desire to say that Dr. Bonham
of Ottumwa cured me of a rupture
of long standing. I was cured Bome
eight years ago and would not
take any amount of money and be
as I was before. I can recommend
his treatment to all sufferers.
