I,t is believed this action for ever settles the case. Carrio Nation, the ''Kansas Smash er," was forcibly ejected from the Whjte house yesterday, when she in sisted itv seeing the president and giv. iug him a little motherly advice. On being advised that the ship of stato could sail on without her sistauce, Carrie flew into a rage and wanted to ask Teddy why he brought a dive into Kansas when ho tool; his western tour.

Mrs. Nation later went to the capitol building, where hhe spent some time talking to the members of the senate and with spec tators She created an uproar in the gallery of tho senate by trying to sell souvenirs and was finally arrested for uisorderly conduct.

The grand jury stood almost unanimous from tile first (or conviction. The indiclmont against Senator Diet rich charges that ho accepted money and property in consideration of his locommuuding Fisher for An appoint ment as postmaster at Hastings. That against Po'stmaster Fisher charges him with making an agreement with Senator Dietrich by which the former was to pay in properly and money Si. 300 for securing Fisher the appointment. Evi dence was presented to the grand jury to show that Fisher had bought post office fixtures front the grand army post at Hastings, of the value of $500 nnd later turned the property over to Sena tor Dietrich, to whoso building it was removed, and to whom was paid a rental by tho government. In ad dition to turning over this property, it is charged that Fisher paid the senator $800 in cash. Fisher gave bond for $1,000 fof his appearance in court and was released. Tho indictments re turned against' Senator- Dietrich have not as yet been filed with the clerk of tho federal court and will not bo until Dietrich arrives and gives bond for his appearance, which will bo Monday or Tuesday.

Tho practice of lclnsing tho handa was Instituted by the early Roman rulers as n marl; of subjection us much as ono of respect, nnd under the first Cffisnr the custom wns kept up, hut only for a time. These worthies conceived the idea that the proper homage due to thelt, exalted station called for less familiar' modes of obeisance, no the privilege of kissing the emperor's hand was re served as u special mark of condescen sion or distinction for ofllccrs of high rank. No such restriction, however, vat placed on tho emperors themselves, who, If they wished to confer sIkhuI honor on uuy of their subjects, kissed either tint mouths or tho eyes of those thoy wished specially to favor, the kiss generally intimating somo promotion or personal satisfaction for soma achievement Roman fathers considered the ;r.nc Uce of kissing of so delicate a nature ttat thoy never kissed their wives In the presence of their daughters Then, too, ouly the nearest relatives wcro allowed (o kiss their kindred of tbojgentler sex on the mouth, for ic those days, as now, kissing was ttct mere arbitrary sign, but it w:m th upontnnoous language of tho affection especially that of love. Under tho Romans if a lover kissed his betrothed before marriage she In herited half of his worldly goods in tha vent of his death before the marrluga tcrcmouy, nnd If she died her heritaga descended to her nearest relatives. A PANTHER'S DEN. Clean anil DrlRlit, Iu Decided Con trnat to tbe I'onnlnr Idcn. It was my good fortune to discover tho newly abandoned lnlr of a cougar family and further and to mo new evidence of that fastidious cleanliness which Is a marked characteristic ot tho animal. Thl3 retreat was not at nil tho typical "panther's den" of tradi tion, hut a bush grown harborage un der tho edgo of n rock wlt just enough of shelf to keep off tho rain. I should aot have fouad this breeding place but for a certain well gnawed array of bones scattered over a little smooth bench above a creek channel. From this boueyard there was n very trncea. bio path leading through grass and brush to theretreat where the dam had housed her young. The evidence hero told plainly of the- cougar's Ion Immunity from annoyance mir. attack and of thoroughly cleanly linbit of lite. There was no bono or other sign $f feasting about the lair. The dam iiad carried her kill to the creek bench to every Instance, and the children had been called to the dining room. As boaea which would' have been crunch ed or eaten by grown animals had been" perfectly cleaned by the kits I was ahlo to Judge of their summer's diet This had consisted mostly of minor game, rabbits, marmots, grouso and the like, with an occasional small deer.
