Englishmen were such peculiar chaps, the druggist said, that he was not a bit surprised when the strapping young fellow who bad ordered an egg phosphate said, "Never mind," Just before the clerk cracked the egg, GOING AT A BIG DISCOUNT In taking an invoice of our stock we found a surplus stock of Men's Pants that we are going to close out at a Big Discount from the original selling price.

WILSON, The Old Reliable Store. Entered at the Postofflce, carlton, Kansas, as second class mai 1 matter. Extending Regulation. Some years ago Prof. Hugo Meyer of Chicago University asserted that there was no better reason for publicly controll ing or owning so-called semi-public cor porations than corpoiations which dealt in public necessities without the aid of a special use of the streets and roads.

The distinction between franchise-us ing and non-franchise-using corporations is being generally wiped out. Mr. Roose velt indicates the trend of public thought of these days in his late comment in the Outlook an the supreme court's Standard Oil decision. He says: "It may well be that in the end government control of these' great interstate corporations may have to go much further than is indicated by the present government control over the railways." The old view that no corporation-pub' lie or private-should be regulated as to rates, business methods, is of course, now completely out of the question. Reg ulation in the future will be determined by whether the corporation is privileged or not.

A privilege conferred by monopoly, by combined capital, or anything of the count the same as privilege resulting from a highway franchise. Starbeams. Arnold: Men of culture are the true apostles of equality. Mr. Justice Harlan is of rugged Ken tucky descent, and strong American dissent.

Ex-President Diaz disappointed those who hoped he might sail from Vera Cruz without shedding any conventional tears, Mr. Bryan could amend his '96 meta phor to read: "You shall not press down upon the brow of Labor this cross of wool." Mark Twain: The autocrats of Russia possesses more power than any other man on earth; but he cannot stop a sneeze. Anyone who has been in Old Mexico in June is unable to see why Mr. Diaz wept on his departure for a more temperate clime. It is hoped the Fourth of July in Amer ica will be more safe and sane this year than June 22 is going to be throughout the British empire.

Furthermore, A. E. Stilwell is not the man to allow a little thing like a government upheaval to interfere with his Mexican railway project. Somehow or other, the threats of sending the trust magnates to prison has not created the consternation throughout the length and breadth of Wall Street that the artless public looked for. James J.

Hill, who is gloomy when everyone else is cheerful, and an optimist when everyone else has the mulligrubs, ceased giving out interviews this week long enough to close a little 600 million transaction involving the purchase of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy Railroad. J. A Peck was a Gypsum caller one day last week. E. Hensley and family, of Gypsum attended the funeral of little Berniece Carney, Friday.

Kasper Miller, of Abilene, trans acted business in Carlton, Wednesday. J. Bogart was a Herington vis itor one day last week. Miss Stella Lang and mother were visitors at Elmo one day last week Miss Blainey and Mrs. R.

M. White came out from Abilene Thursday and attended the Ladies Aid Missionary meeting at the home of Mrs. Eliason. G. Stauffer, of Hope, was in Carlton last Saturday delivering enlarg ed pictures he had taken orders for.

J. C. Wedel, of Tampa, was business caller in Carlton awhile last Friday. Jesse Longhofer and family were Herington visitors last Saturday. Dan and Hester Bogart were in How Poor People Manage to Have Messages 8ent Without Paying the Toll.

The telephone on the desk in the animals' shelter rang and a woman'! voice said: "Say, miss, there is half-starved cat up here on One Hun dred and Fourth street. Can you send up and get her?" The clerk took the number of the One Hundred and Fourth street house. then the voice at the wire went oru "Say, miss, would you mind calling up this other number for me? It where my sister works, in the Bronx, Tell her to come down. Jimmy is sick, there ain't a bite In the house, and I haven't got a cent to bless myself with, let alone a nickel to telephone to her, but. honest, there la a cat la the basement, and It's half starved." The clerk sighed.

"Worked she said. "That happens with discouraging frequency lately. We have left a small sum of money at certain drug stores to pay for telephone calls in re gard to stray animals. Usually the druggist telephones the message himself, but if he is too busy he hands out a nickel, and trusts the person who has found the animal to do the telenhonlnjr. Some poor souls who would like to send messages of their own that they cannot afford to pay off have learned where those drug stores are, and ring in their own messages free, begging us to transmit them to the persons they wish to reach.

In really serious cases we haven't the heart to refuse. This sounds like serious case, bo I suppose I shall have to telephone up to the Bronx." New York Press. HOW PERFUME IS OBTAINED Beef Fat Is Exposed to Fresh Flower Until It le Permeated With Their Odors. By a process known as enfleurage. which Is the exposure of beef fat to fresh flowers in close boxes until it Is thoroughly permeated and charged with their odors, the perfumes of vart ous flowers are obtained which could not otherwise be so effectively pre served apart from the fresh petale, Those flowers are violet, jasmine.

tuberose, rose, orange flower and cassia (cinnamon flowers). From those six there are fifty or more combinations made for the simulation of the odora of other flowers. Sweet pea is made with orange flower and Jasmine, hyacinth is counterfeited by Jasmine and tuberose and the lily of the valley by violet and tuberose. The resources of the perfumer are, however, by no means confined to the pomades, as the scented fats are termed. He uses many essential oils, the principle of which are sandalwood, bergamot, lemon, rosemary, neroli (made from bitter orange flowers) patchouli and attar of roses.

The later, which is not now used so much as formerly, Is very difficult to obtain in a pure state, because its great cost tempts to dishonest adulteration. Very often geranlam oil is substituted for it. Musk is another important lngr dlent, entering, as it does, into almost all perfumes except those that actual ly are limitations of flower odors or, as styled by perfumers, "natural," as, for instance, the heliotrope, tuberose, white rose and violet. Un-Beautlful Lines. Why not have a contest, too, to de termine the Moit un-Beautiful Lines in the English Language? There are any number of lines which might entered.

Here are a few: "Business is bvsiness." "Keep out this means you." "What time was it when you came in?" "Please remit." "Haven't you forgotten something?" "In the In terest of retrenchment "Dictated but not read." "Who's this round on?" "This Is my busy day." "Take the next car," "Keep off the grass "Yes. he's a nice man, but "You are hereby subpoenaed" "Only four Saturdays in this month." "Standing room only." I can't take this slick dime." "Who's shy?" but here's something Just as good." "Hello, whiz this talking?" "Cheer up, the worst is yet to come." "Still, it may be for the best." "However, we thank you for submitting the manuscript." "I'll take a cigar and smoke it after dinner." Memorial to French Ambassador. On one of the walls of the Interior of the ministry for foreign affairs in Paris is a black marble slab on which are expressed in letter of gold the names of the officials of the department who died fighting for their conn, try in the war with Germany la 1870. The ministry has decided to place another "comme pendant," on which will be inscribed the names of ambassadors and dip.omat, agents who have fallen victims or" The list will commence from the l'" or Louis XIV.

Thoughtless. "Which," asked the court Jester, "came first, the chicken or the eggT" "Really," replied the monarch, wear l'y.

"you should know better thin to bring these questions of prprptlonce to my personal attention. You know that they are entirely looked arter by cftdala appointed for that purpoieV and hurried out of the store, but he waa surprised when the Englishman returned a few minutes later and apol ogized ior nis abruptness, "it was the place you took that egg from that scared me out," he said. "I noticed that it came from a box in one comer of the perfume ease. How long bad it been there "Only a few hours," said the clerk. "We get fresh eggs every day." "But you shouldn't keep them there at all, said the Englishman.

"Don't you know that eggs are almost as bad as butter to absorb odors? The shells protect them a little, but it takes only a short time for a really strong perfume to soak through. I have had many a phosphate spoiled because the egg in It had been nestl lng against a cologne bottle." The clerk said, "How utterly ridiculous," but he remembered that an other customer had complained of a triple extract flavor to an egg drink, so later in the day he moved the per fumes back to another counter. CLING TO THE RED KERCHIEF In Other Respects the Women Champery, Switzerland, Wear the Dress of Men. of Something of the old romance of Switzerland still clings to Champery nearly 3,600 feet above the Rhone Val ley. The inhabitants, about 800, still preserve certain local peculiarities of I dress.

The dark type greatly pre dominates, the women being hand some and well developed. The vivid scarlet kerchiefs which they weai knotted around their heads are slngu larly becoming. Even in the princl pal hotels this native head dress Is worn by the waitresses. Outside the village itself the women in winter wear men's dress long trou sers and jacket but they still keer. their red kerchiefs.

Indeed, as they have to go about a great deal in deer snow, sometimes on ski, looking aftei the cattle in the stables and doing good deal of work which in more pros perous districts is generally left tc men, they could not very well keep to their skirts. A Sixth 8ense. An interesting discussion arose at recent college lecture concerning the "instinct of direction" possessed so marvelously by savage races, and by animals, undoubtedly animals are aided largely by scent In the case of humans it is different and some of the pupils argued that the primitive man is able to find his way in the densest forest without taking note of the sun, the wind, the lay of the land, or the course of the streams. Therefore it was said he must be guided by a sixth sense, because none of the regular five senses could aid him. Other pupils, however, argued that the Indian found his way in places where there were no apparent guidef because he knew how, because he had learned all his life how to do it, Just as the writer, for Instance, will write page after page of copy, spelling all the words correctly, but yet cannot, if asked, spell a simple word.

This if because he learned the words lonp so, ana fits spelling is purely mechanical. It is so with the Indian finding his way through the woods. Invisible Indians. aii Indians seem to nave learned a wonderful way of walking unseen making themselves invisible like cer tain spiders, which in case of alarm. caused for example by a bird alight ing on the bush their webs are spread upon, immediately bounce themselves up and down on their elastic threads so rapidly that only a blur is visible.

The wild Indian power of escaping observation, even where there is little or no cover to hide in, was probably slowly acquired in hard hunting and fighting lessons while trying to ap proach game, take enemies by sur prise or get safely away when compelled to retreat. And this experience transmitted through many gen erations seems at length to have be come what Is vaguely called instinct. John Muir In the Atlantic. Sydney Smith's Aversions. Sydney Smith shared Lord North's dislike for musical concerts.

"Noth ing, he wrote, "can be more dis gusting than an oratorio. How absurd to see 500 people fiddling like mad men anout tne Israelites in the Red Bea!" But Smith's pet aversion was the minor key. "it made music ocordlng to 0. W. him melancholy.

Carlton. 20 Years WithHeartTrouble "Dr.

Then the lungs do not absorb the proper amount of oxygen, although they may be taking in a normal amount of air. The result is shortness of breath, smothering spells, diffi cult breathing, oppressed feeling in chest.
