WHY NOT A Y. M. C. A.I
Why not a Y. M. C. A. for
Shawnee? Is a question that is be-
ing given considerable thought just
now.
Up In Tulsa there is a great
campaign on, the purpose of which
is the raising of funds for a Y.
M. C. A. building. Tho business
men of the city are turning out in
force, and several thousand dol-
lars were raised on the first day
of the campaign.
"Manhood First" Is the slogan of
the Tulsa Y. M. C. A. boosters,
and they are sure to succeed.
Shawnee needs a first class Y.
M. C. A., and can build and sup-
port one and never miss the money.
A fully-equipped Y. M. C. A.
building, or at the least, suitable
quarters in some one of the many
buildings in the city already avail-
able, would be the flneBt invest-
ment Shawnee could make at this
time.
In this city there .are hundreds
of hoys who would gladly patronize
a Y. M. C. A. and spend their
evenlngB there Instead of at the
pool halls and other places where
their associates are not perhaps of
ihe most desirable character. There
are hundreds or others who would
appreciate the gymnasium with
which such an institution is ordi-
narily provided, and the baths and
other conveniences.
For the railroad boys who have
no home here, a Y. M. C. A.
would be a great boon. Such
an institution, properly conducted,
would make manly men of many
boys who are now growing up
without the proper environments
and associates to bring out the best
that Is In them.
By all means, let us build a Y.
M. C. A. In Shawnee.
cussed at a round-table session.
Just at present the honor sys-
tem is being discussed considerably
on the hill and its adoption sug-
gested for the school. Other
schools have tried it with success
and it is held by those advancing
it here that the system will prove
equally successful at Kansas Uni-
versity. This method will be dis-
cussed at the meeting planned
for December 7.
The subject of cheating was
brought up yesterday by Rev. E.
A. Edwards of the Episcopal
church. D. Edwards talked on
"Man and his Word." Fallowing
his talk a round table session was
held and the question of cheating,
the methods of grading, the atti-
tude of faculty members, the
awarding of honors on the hill and
various other phases of the schol-
astic side of the University were
discussed.
At the meeting on December 7,
the Rev, Noble S. Elderkin of the
Congregational church is to be
the speaker. He will discuss the
question of cheating.—Lawrence

THE HONOR SYSTEM
Cheating at the University of
Kansas and a cure for any such
evil that may exist at the Univer-
sity is being considered by the
Young Men's Christian Association
of the school.
The subject came before the As-
sociation at the regular Sunday
session. It proved to be no in-
teresting a field that the Associa-
tion decided to hold a meeting on
Sunday afternoon, December 7,
for further consideration of the
problem. At this meeting the hon-

THE EVIL OF CIGARETTES.
If one were to go to the presi-
dent of fhe United States and ask
him to name our country's great-
est need, he would say, "Clean
men." He knows.
Smart men there are by thou-
sands, #rich men abound more than
in any other age of the world, able
men are found in every state and
township, but even from a popula-
tion of 80,000,000, fhe chief execu-
tive finds difficulty in finding the
man of exceptional character for
a post which requires a square
and flawless morality.
Boys are the stuff men are
made of." Cigarette smoking low-
ers the dignity of tho boy. His
first cigarette Is lighted and
smoked in secret,—he is ashamed.
It enslaves him to a fatal habit,
which weakens his will power and
deadens his mental and moral per-
ception. Smoking and chewing
tobacco produces a continual thirst
for stimulating drinks and this
tormenting thirst leads to drunk-
eness. The principal of a Chicago
school after three years of close
observation says, that in one
school one hundred and twenty-
five boys are addicted to the
cigarette. Twenty-five of these
confessed that they were too sleepy
to study, thirty of them said they
were too dizzy after smoking, twen-
ty-two could not write neatly be-
cause their hands trembled so,
and several said they felt shaky
when they walked. It was also
shown that the cigarette habit,
gradually blunted the moral sensi-
bilities of the boys and made them
deceptive, secretive, and untruthful,
while very few of them were able
to keep up with their classmates.
We know of no cigarette smoker
who has ever graduated at the
head of his class. But we do
know of broken constitutions. Many
cases of consumption begun with
the habit, insanity, blindness,
paralysis and wrecked nerves.
The cigarette, in most cases, is
made of drugged -tobacco, opium,
being the chief drug used. Cheap
cigarettes are often made out of
the remains of the cigars, smoked
and the stubs put into cuspidors,
together with quids of tobacco.
These are collected, dried, ground
up and mixed with refuse opium,
liquor, Havannah flavoring, and
cigarettes. The rolling introduces
'another element of filth as in do-
ing it, one continually moistens his
fingers with his own spittal. This
work is often done at home in the
lowest, filthiest, tenement houses,
often in the very room with con-
tagious disease. Thus cigarettes
often become the means of spread-
ing the most loathsome disease.
Leprosy has thus been dissemen-
ated from deprous hands engaged
in rolling cigarettes. The manner
of smoking, is also another means
of poisoning the smoker, when the
smoke is drawn into the depths of
his lungs, held there a moment and
then expelled through the mouth
and nose. The poison is thus al-
owed to penetrate to every portion
of the lung capacity, and by ab-
sorption is taken into the blood.
The parent whose blood and secre-
ions are saturated with tobacco,
ransmitts to his child, elements of
a distempered body and erratic
mind. A deranged condition of or-
ganic atoms which elevate the
animalism of the future being at
the expense of the moral and in-
tellectual nature. "While smokers
themeslves may be free from these
evils, yet their children often grow
up weakly, nervous, tainted with
hereditary ailments and quite unfit
to meet the requirements of life.
Is the typical boy of today fit to
be a father? If not, why not?
Are we doing all we can to fight
this evil, this enemy this curse to
home and country! Let us work
harder until certificates of health
shall be demanded with the mar-
lage certificate, let us work until
we see our youth educated along
the linos of health and hygienne,
he same as reading, writing and
.rithmetlc.
I hope the time will come when
no teacher who uses tobacco will
e allowed to teach In our schools.
It may be I am too radical in my
views. I do not wish to be, but we
now that example is more power-
ul than precept. The boys will
pe the man, so our reforms must
>e based on examples—youth de-
nands to be shown.

WHEN ACCIDENTS BRING LUCK
What Seemed at First to Be Misfon>
tune Turned Out to Be Caus?
of Prosperity.
"What looked like an accident that
would put me completely out of busi-
ness was instead the cause of my
present prosperity," said a man who
makes a business of taking people out
to the fishing grounds.
"When I Btarted business three
years ago I had Just enough capital
to buy a second-hand motor boat,
which waB rated to carry sixty passen-
gers.
"On the first day I took a party of
fishermen out tho spring on the intake
of my carbureter broke when the
boat was between Coney Island Point
and Monument Light. For an hour
the boat drifted and my passengers
cjssed.
"As every boatman knows, the
Shrewsbury river forms new sandbars
every winter, and although I had not
been up the Shrewsbury that season
I took a chance. Just at the entrance
to the channel the boat poked her nose
upon a sandbar, and as the tide was
on the ebb she stayed there.
"Swearing like a pirate I reversed
the engine, but it was no use. By that
time practically all of my sixty pas-
sengers were vowing they would never
take another trip on my boat and
they threatened to warn their friends.
"An old German who sat in the stern
and who could not speak English did
not realize that the boat was aground,
but thought we had reached the fish-
ing grounds. Very calmly he baited
his hooks and threw the line over.
"Hardly had the line struck hot
tom when the old man began to haul
In vigorously. He landed a big, fat
fluke on the deck. In a moment every
man had a line overboard. Such fish-
ing you never Baw. The men got
fluke just as fast as they could pull
them in.
"I have been a seaman a good many
years and I understood what had hap-
pened. The Shrewsbury and especial-
ly around Sandy Hook Point is famous
for fluke and these fish will always
go where the bottom is being dug up.
There's no better place for fluke fish
ing than behind a boat that is dredging
for oysters or clams. The reversing
of the propeller of my boat was, of
course, tearing up the bottom and the
fluke were coming from all directions
"I just thanked my stars and kept
the engine reversed. After a couple
of hours the tide turned and lifted us
off the bar, but by that time every
one had a mess of fluke and all were
happy. The fishermen took it foi
granted that I had run the boat
aground at that spot and had then
kept the engine go\pg bo as to give
them a day's fishing and make up foi
the time lost previously. They ad-
vertised me liberally among theii
friends and I've been busy ever since."
Test for a Field Glass.
Inquiry has it that the absolute and
Infallible test of a glass by the pur
chaser Is to see what size letters can
be read across the street from the op
tlclan's shop.
It Isn't The real test Is to climt
up a long and bushy hill until the
breath comes a hundred to the min
ute, then a snatch for the glass, re
posing in a shirt pocket, to see wheth-
er the buck is the one you want be
fore you fire. If it won't go in youi
shirt pocket. It is not the glass you
want; others are made that will. I!
It shakes 1n your agitated hands, It is
not the glass you want; you cannot
see enough more with a high-powei
glass to pay for the times when it Is
unusable; because you cannot hold It
steady.—Outing.
Taking Too Much for Granted.
"Say. young man, when you sold
me this fountaia pen you told me 1
could carry It upside down In my
pocket with perfect safety."
"Well?"
"Well I tried it—and look at this
▼est, will you?"
"My dear sir, you muBt have—er—
filled that pen before you put it In
your pocket. You shouldn't have done
that"
A Gentle Hint
"I was speaking with your father,
last night," said the young man.
"Oh, were you?" answered the sweet
young thing, lowering her eyes. "What
were you talking about?"
"About the likelihood of war with
Mexico. Your father said if there was
a war he hoped it wctuld be short."
"Oh, yes; I know papa is very much
opposed to long engagements."
Author's Cellars.
'T hear you have bought a house
out at Swamphurst," remarked the
trlend of the author. "Have you a
good cellar?"
"Fine," replied the author. "They
tell me It's one of the six best cel-
lars."
Competing Consumers.
"You used to say 'competition Is the
life of trade.'"
"So it is," replied Mr. Cumrox, "only
Instead of competing to sell things,
the idea now is to corner 'em up and
get people competing for a chance to
buy."—Washington Star.

WILLIAMS' KIDNEY PILLS
H t« you overworked your nervous system
This dashing coat has just come
to the United States from Paris,
where all fashions find birth. It Is
the latest, If not the last, word.
It would make any woman happy;
in fact, It would make a very fine
Christmas present for your wife.
You can get one like it for $250
or $300.
"All the approved lines of mod-

A fashion expert. "The fullness

and astrakhan, the former being
used on the collar and cuffs. Just
try to imagine bow many little
moles had to give up' their liveB

coat-this mixture of moles and as-

expert, "are cut in one with the
