Hence Thejr Laugh (Har the Story that
Tbar Carried 8000 Out of OOOO
Hchoul Districts
John MacDonald, editor of the West
ern School Journal, makes a few corn
meats In his paper concerning tho
newspaper fako that went tho rounds
of tho caBtern newspapers a few weekB
ago, stating that the women of Kansas
had organized a secret campaign to
capturo control of tho nnnunl school
meetings in Kansas whllo tho men
woro In tho harvest fields and had
elected women as school officers on tho
issue of doing away with tho alleged
provision of school contracts prohibit
ing teachers from being courted.
It Eccms thnt this story has oven
been taken seriously by soino of tho
educational papers of the cast, and this
Is what calls forth Mr. MacDonald's re
marks. Ho says:
"The unquestioning faith of our east
ern brethren ln newspaper stories fills
im with mirthful emotion, and adds
years to our life. Listen to our crcdu
Ioub brother, tho editor of tho Penn
sylvania School Journal:
" 'The Btato of Kansas Iibb had a
Burprise. . . ; Tho women of this
great state have elected a. majority of
the members of tho school boards ln
tho 2,000 Bchool districts.'
'Kansas has nearly 0,000 school dis
tricts; but let that pass It Ib purely
incidental. Sllonco again, listen:
" The platform on which tho women
conducted their campaign for control
of the schools was kept a secret until
tho day of balloting. It declared for
wiping out tho objectionable provisions
of tho teachers' contracts, which forbid
tho women teachers to receive atten
tions and calls from their gentlemen
admirers during their term of school,
and provide for tho forfeiture of a por
tion of their salaries If the women mar
ry before tho ond of their terms.'
199,000 for Ft. I.eaTetmorth BolldlngS
A telegram received from the war
department Instructs Major D. . Mc
Carthy to award the contract to Vin
cent A. Koliy to construct several new
buildings at Fort Leavenworth. Kan.
They ,wlll coBt $10J 000. The delay in
awarding tho contract after bids wero
forwarded to Washington Is said to he
duo to some changes In the plans for
tho new buildings. Mr. Kelly will
erect a largo officers' rrcsa bulldlne;. a
commissary storehouse, quartermas
ter's storehouse, two double sets of
captains' quarters, five double sets c
lieutenants' quarters, and five small
additions, ono to each of tho cavalry
Etablo to be used as stablo guard quar

New bids will be received for this.
The ofllcors' mess building Is to be

new buildings aro to bo completed in

new buildings at Fort Leavenworth
are completed, and Mr. Kelly will be
able to get nnd the stono nnd brick
masons nnd mechanics necessary to do
the work without sending to other
cities. Most of tho work now ln prog

KtIIi ut tlie Vonar of Wealth.
In a sensational statement made In
the Harlem, N. Y., police court Magis
trate Crano denounced the wealthy for
their cold indifference to and disre
gard of poor people. Magistrate Crane
made the statement In holding In $200
bail for trial Jackbon Gouraud on a
charge of runulng an automobile over
the speed limit.
"Tho power of wealth," he said, "is
becoming ono of the grentest evils
ln this country. Men, when they get
rich, have no kindness toward others
as a general proposition, and especial
ly when they aro ln automobiles.
Wealth Is becoming so powerful that
there will have to bo some legislation
enacted to curb It. The state of things
is becoming terrible when rich people
can ride over poor people In the streets
and escape without punishment. Rich
people generally don't care for any
body.' Another Patentee In Trouble
Simpson L. Gedes of Wellington, has
brought suit against E. P. Curry for
$12,000, tho nraount of one-hnlf the
stock of n self-sharpening plow. Geddcs
alleges that Curry conceived tho idea
of tho patont but did not have tho
money to get out tho patent, bo he
gave him one-hnlf interest in tho pat

it, Geddcs alleges further that the
Curry Plow company was formed pur

When Mugs nwoku along about 2 In

clasping her robo do unit affectionate
ly In tho ftont portion.
Rings' better half was Ukowlso
crooning n song Into which sho was
evidently putting her whole soul. To
Dings' listening ear tho refrain 3cnmed
to begin with "Oh! Oh!" in the lower
register and run tho scale spasmodic
ally to an "O h. O h! !"
crescendo that bespoke masterful
mdor. ,
t Accompanying this was a rocking,
rhythmic swinging of tho body to and
fro, In utter oblivion to loosoned slats,,
followed by a mora affectlonnt hug
ging of tho robo do unit at tho afore
Mild region!
Now, a few nights prior, Blngs and
bin wife hud culled on a friend, a phy
sician. "llu careful of your fruit and vege
tables these days." cautioned tho man
of medicine. "Thoro seems to bo
much Illness resultant of eating over
ripe tomutoes, melons, otc. At thin
t lino of year thoro Is too much acid In
tlmm!"
When Blngs saw those ripe, luscious,
uppotlzlng tomatoes on tho tablo at
bis dinner the night previous to tho
2 o'clock referred to abovo, ho men
tally remurked:
"Tho madam has evidently forgot
ten what 'doc' said about toniatoon,"
but being a wise man, ho twanged no
discord.
Therefore when Blngs was awak
ened by his wife's extraordinary move
ments of affection for her stumber
robe, ho knew whereof she suffered.
Ho found tho whisky bottlo after
bumping his big too against tho sharp
edge of the mission tablo and a5 ho
handed her a hot one with a lump ot
sugar in It, ho protested mildly:
"Woll. dear. I hoped you would re
member what tho doctor told you
about tomatoes out of season.
"Oh, fudge!" hho ejuculatcd bo
tween "Ohs!" "It wasn't that at all!"
"Well, gee whla," retaliated Bing't
vindictively "things have come to a
pretty pass when a respectable woman
will sit up at 2 o'clock In tho morning,
-ock the bed llk :i cockle-boat In n
storm, hug Iht night robe as a ship
wrecked sailor hugs 11 spar, and sing
Just for a drink or whisky!"
At last reports 110 proceedings for
divorco havo started, but thoro Is a
cold, distrait chilliness in the atmosphere-
of their lint, and tho family
barometer prognosticates storm!

A country editor writes of the wed

Miss Tilda Skowby nnd bays "Mr. arid
