only a married woman with a family
and the cares of a house on her hands
could be called "a lady" She was talk

about a certain friend Of the family who
came up to Grace's standard of lady
hood. "And what DO you think of me-
asked her aunt. Without the least in
tention of being impolite but with very
decided ideas Of her own, nevertheless,
Grace replied: "Humph. you're not a
lady; you're nothing but an old giri!"-

Dilemma.

A newly arrived domestic was secured
to do homework by an up town family
in Lewiston. In the course of her duties
she was told to iron some clothes and
hang them upon the horse. A little later
the maid appeared before her mistress
with the clothes in her hands and a look
of manifest p~elplexity on her face.
"Why didn't you hang the clothes
upon the horse, Bridget:' inquired the
latter.
.'Sure, an l tried to, ma'am, but he
kept movin, SO he did, an they wouldn't
stay"
Sure enough, knowing no other horse
in her native land, she had gone to the
stable and e~ndeavored to hang them upon

Kansas Prohibition.

Hon. DAVID Overmeyer, in a splendid
letter recently made public, gives many
good reasons why Kansas should have
revision of her constitution. He
treats the different items in a lengthy
review, and as be is one of the best
jurists in the state, his words are
weighty and commend themselves to
the public generally. OF the prohib-
itory liquor law he says:
prohibition is an exotic in our
fundamental law. 1t should be torn
from the constitution root and branch,
and the legislature should be forbidden
to pass any law prohibiting the con-
version of the products of Kansas into
any merchaptable commodity or pro-
hibiting the sale of such product. In
stead of wasting of time and money in
vain and foolish efforts to build cotton
and sugar mills, let US remove the re-,
striotion and permit the upbuilding o&
industries that will work up our i'm
mense crops of corn, grain and fruits
and thus furnish "a home market'' for
the farmer, employment for labor. in
vestment for capital, increase of prices,
and inducement for immigration. Men
stand ready to engage in these enter
prises without the aid of protective
tariff and without bounty. This is one
| way out for Kansas. Another way
out which depends on the repeal of
prohibition, is to unload our surplus
lands for cash, and still have enough
land left for homes. Our people have
gone heavily into debt for lands and
Improvements hoping, and justly hop
ing as pioneers, that the incoming
population would relieve them of their
surplus acres, while the money thus
realized would relieve them of debt.
Prohibition came and people quit COM
ing During the ten years of prohi-
bition a mighty tide of emigration has
swept over, beyond and around Kansas.
AT the advent of prohibition Kansas
was the best advertised state in the
Union. While it, like all places, has
It's draw backs, it is after all an en-
chanted land, in which salubrious air,
fertile soil and sublimity of scene, are
so blended, that the eye of man is
gladdened and his heart rejoiced by the
rapturous charm of FURNISHED sky and
shining plains. and yet in ten years we
are short at least one million of people
by reason of prohibition People will
not make homes where they cannot be
free. Tear prohibition from the con-
stitution, and hurl it into the dark vor-
tex of things accursed; firmly control
and wisely tax, the traffic in intoxicating
beverages, make known to the hardy
and industrious home seeker and
worthy immigrant that the curse of
bigctry and fanaticism has been lifted
from the state and we shall witness
such an influx of population, and such
a wave of rising prosperity as has never
been seen in Kansas"
