p' governor considers that the cause of
^ . ; temperance would be endangered if
he signed the act. The two-quart act
br is, without doubt, a huge joke, and
S||^ the amendments tacked on to it were
pl-r - for no other purpose than to nullify
p&'f the whole business. Even the author
& of the bill passed it up and asked the
II governor not to sign it.
pCr* - We notice a good many- of our eonjS
s temporaries printing plate matter furK
; - nished free by the railroads in regard
to the threatened strike of railroad
employees. We don't think it
jis right to print this, for it presents
|fc; 'only one side of the matter, and that
is the side of the railroad. Unless
such papers would print the other
fife'.' - side (and it is furnished them?but
1^ not in set-up plate matter) they
? should refuse the use of the free
.plate. ^ We are afraid some of our
^ friends will print anything that is
gl?; V furnished them free in plate matter

The editor of the Barnwell Senti
nel relates that he overheard the conjb'
< * versation below in a Barnwell store.
We think that no comment is necesfc;
* sary; in fact we do not see that any
comment can be made at all, so here
is the conversation as related. Make
S your own deductions:
Just a few days ago the writer was
in a store in this town. A small negro
girl came in with a package. The
|V, following conversation ensued between
the small girl and the merchant.
S. G. "Mama says please change
these shoes; they are too small."
M. "When did you get them?"
(Taking package and unwrapping it.)
13. G. "She got them this week."
M. (In astonishment) "These shoes
* did not come from here."
S. G. "No, sir, I knows they
* didn't. Mama ordered them out of
a Rears & Soebuck catalogue. They
too small and she wants you to let
ner nave a pan a s>i&e iai gci.
M. (Red in the face, choking with
t * anger, slammed the shoes down on
Pthe counter). "?!!!XX**????!!!
BANG! Take those shoes back to
, your mother and tell her to walk to
Rears & Soebuck and have them
change the shoes for her. Serves
her right for sending her money off
to mail order houses!"
An exchange prints the following
letter it received some time ago:
"Please send me a few copies of
the paper containing the death of my
aunt. Also publish the enclosed clip
? ? 1 * T
ping OI my niece wuu lives nt uvucmon.
And I wish you would mention
it in your local columns, if it don't
cost anything, that I have two bull
calves for sale. As my subscription
is out please stop the paper. Times
are too hard to waste money on newspapers/'
This picture is decidedly overdrawn,
and we do not believe thai
ik
r
newspapers receive many such letters.
But they do receive a good
many jolts in the pursuance of publishing
a newspaper. For instance a
subscriber the other day sent us word
' to please stop his paper; that his
! time had expired. Finding that the
; aforesaid subscriber, owed us fifty
' cents, his time having expired some
time ago, we asked him to please set'
tie up so as to square the account;
[ whereupon he informed us that he
' subscribed for one year. As we heard
nothing from him, we presume this
settles the matter. We had no in.
structions to stop the paper, and no
doubt he would have considered that
we doubted nis nonesty naa we siop.
ped the paper when the time was out.
This is only one of the many problems
that confront the newspaper
man; and his job is perhaps no hardi
er than anybody's else's, either. It's
the way of the world?that's all.
Naming the Baby.
Grown-up folks are sensitive about
their Christian or given names. More
especially so if their name happens
to be a "fancy" one or one of austere
i plainness.
We know of a man whose name is
Eli. He hates it.
We know a young couple who called
their first born Job. (They have
a rich relative who glories in the
same name.)
We know a middle-aged fat woman
who writes under the name of
Tiny (Really, can you beat it?)
When you name the baby, remember
that the name is going to stick
for a life time.
Don't call the baby anything
J "sweet," because your baby will grotf
ui> to be a big, rugged man or a regular
life-sized woman.?Tiampa Tribune.

First Night Success.
Albert Chevalier, the English
actor, tells a good story about his
early days on tour. After appearing
one night at a small provincial hall
he told the manager that he did not
expect to get such a cordial reception
as the audience had given him.
"What makes you say that?" said
the manager. "I did not notice it."
"Didn't you hear them banging
their walking sticks and umbrellas
on the floor?" asked Chevalier.
"That wasn't applause," replied
the manager. "The postoffice is on
the floor above us, and they were
stamping letters for the mail!"?

Fortunes for Seeds.
Kansas spends about $14,000,000
annually for the seed necessary to
plant the acreages devoted to the
State's principal crops, according to
an estimate made public by J. C.
Mohler, secretary of the State board
of agriculture. He points out that
the estimate is based on last year's
o nr?QO era a n/I npi'nos
avii ^7u^v uuu |/i AVVW.
"Two-thirds of the $14,000,000 is
for wheat seed," the report says.
"Kansas seeds each year more wheat
than many States harvest. The value
of the sorghum planted for forage
comes next, amounting to $1,205,814,
while the oats sown is third,
and amounts to $1,146,907.
"It seems rather surprising that it
only costs $602,800 for the seed to
plant the State's corn acreage, and
taking the run of the years, corn is
Kansas's most valuable product.
More than $500,000 is spent each
years for Irish potato seed.
^"Assuming that the average life of
a stand of alfalfa in Kansas is ten
years, and that one-tenth, therefore,
is sown each year, there would be reQuired
seed worth approximately
$380,000. Barley, which is grown
mostly in Western Kansas, requires
an annual outlay of more than $200,000
for seed, and the clover seed
sown each year is probably worth
$15,000. The rye sown annually is
rated at $86,000. It only cost about
$65,000 for the seed to plant near
1,000,000 acres of kafir."?Topeka
correspondence New York Sun.
The Sawdust Kind.
Charles S. Mellen, ex-president of
the New Haven railway, was talking
at a New York dinner party about a
line of cross-examination to which
he had been subjected, relates the
Pittsburg Post.
"It was a sterile line," he said. "A
line with nothing in it. A line as
futile and unsatisfying as those lines
of heavily advertised breakfast foods
that have all gone up in smoke.
"I remember when these lines
were the rage, how one little girl
said to another:
" T wonder what they feed dollies
' on?'
" ? ? - -? xi? ~xi, ?
" "1 Know,' saiu Hie uuier liLtic
girl, ' 'cause when my Lillian Russell
fell downstairs and broke her head
off her tummy was all stuffed full of
breakfast food.' "

government $1,500 a year each man.

LIONS INVADE CITY.
Daring Animals Pursue Denverites
and Police are Called Out.
Two large mountain lions, a male
and female, invaded the northwestern
section of the city this morning,
attacked two persons, and greatly
alarmed residents of that section.
The animals are still at large and a
ennnH nf nnliee armed with rifles is
seeking them.
While standing in her back yard
Mrs. F. J. Carlin, of 3,129 West 25th
avenue, was horror-stricken when a
lion leaped the fence and started toward
her. She fled toward the house,
reached the door a few feet ahead of
the lion and slammed it shut.
The other person attacked was J.
H. Hubbard, of West 25th avenue
and Meade street. While picketing
out a cow this morning he encountered
the two lions and fled. When last
seen the lions were making for the
foothills seven miles away.?Denver
News.
Life in Oyster Bay.
Living in Oyster Bay has its responsibilites.
Man cannot follow
life's dull routine. There is more to
be done than performing the duties
of one's calling and the chores about
the place. For instance, we notice
that the village station agent, druggist
and justice of the peace were
pressed into service when George
Von L. Meyer led a handful of "Republicans"
up Sagamore Hill en Mon
day to surprise the colonel, who sat
with dictated speech awaiting them.
Joining the delegations that call
on the colonel and helping to fill "the
trophy room" seem among the per[
quisites of Oyster Bay's parochial
life. The Oyster Bayite does not
have to depend on seeing the fast
train go through or listening to the
sound's lapping of the shores. Every
time he sees a "bunch" approaching
the raised portcullis of virtue citadel,
all he has to do is to "tag on."
His reward is a view of the colonel's
gyrations as that ex-dignitary goes
through the agonies of the presidential
fever whicfr afflicts him.?

Rabbits Eat Haystacks.
So hungry did rabbits become during
the week or ten days that the ice
and snow covered the ground here,
preventing them from obtaining their
usual food from wheat and alfalfa
fields, says Cottonwood Falls (Kan.)
correspondence to New York Sun,
that they could be shot by the dozens
as they gathered around alfalfa
stacks at night time to eat the alfalfa.
During one moonlight night T6m
Mercer, a Homestead farmer, shot
12 large jack rabbits in less than
half an hour as they came from all
directions to an alfalfa stack close
to his barnyard. He says that with
the moonlight shining on the snow
covered ground it was possible to see
the rabbits as they came for the alfalfa
while they were still a long distance
away.
Many farmers found great holes
eaten in the sides and tops of their
alfalfa stacks where the starving rab
bits fed nightly. The alfalfa stacks
were about the only food supply the
rabbits could find uncovered by the
thick coating of ice and snow.
AGAINST STANDARD FROCK.
Editor Dreads Result of "Reform in
Women's Dress."
The standardized car coupling
makes a strong appeal to reason, and
even the familiar standardized book
review of commerce hs something to
be said of it. But who can awake a
thrill at the proposal of standardized
street clothes for women, mothered
by the home economics department
of the G. F. of W. C.? A few skinflint
husbands-who-pay-the-bills, yes.
The rest of the world will defend its
^^ ?11 o wm r\f a f_

that can be mustered to the
attacks
"It is a vital burning, economic
question, and we extend the most cordial
invitation to all interested?
men, women, producers and consumers?to
come and help in finding out
that women are in dead earnest in
wanting to save time, strength and
money to put on higher pleasures
than clothes can give, while properly
desiring to look their best." So
speaks Chairman Helen Louise Johnson,
and if she is planning a campaign
for more sense and taste in
dress and less rubbish we are with
her. But standardization is her text
and we fear the worst?an eruption
of those strange baglike envelopes
which have through long tradition
become the unvarying habiliment of
dress reform, lean, talj, short or fat.
Stripes that cheer and silks that
rustle, texture, line and inimitable
hang?it can not be! The street
clothes, above all else, must and shall
be preserved. If spring ever turns
the corner, we shall invite the chairman
of the home economics department
to walk down Fifth avenue herself
and be convinced.?New Yorkj
