Then what's worrying you?'
The way she treated me-
What did she do?"
The drummer fired his half smoked ciSap
at the cuspidor viciously.
Well he explained, after 1 had been
gazing at her for an hour or so. 1 thought
I'd try her with a newspaper. She de-
clined it with thanks and a BEAUTIFUL
smile. Then l tried her with a new novel,

at station, and she nodded for me to

"'Win you do me a favor? she asked

the drummer sighed again.

THE LADY AND THE PISTOL.
New Firearms Take on Ornate
Decorations.

Decorations.
The Russian love of decoration seems
to be ingrained. The Cossacks who
were here in the circus at the garden
carried firearms which would have
been the delight of a collector. So do
the Cossacks in the Wild West show.
Their revolvers have long barrels, and
are chased deliberately, and inlaid with
gold, silver and pearl. American man
ufacturers have made some wonderful
firearms for the car of Russia. The
shah of Persia is another good custom
er. So are wealthy Mexican ranchmen,
who like to have the handles of their
revolvers so deliberately studded with
jewels that they cannot use a. regula-
ton charge because the recoil would
lacerate the hand.
Women who shoot also like finely
decorated weapons. The old-fashioned
posed to be dedicated to the fair sex is
now made in cheap styles and has ac-
.cordingly lost prestige
Alongside the fans at Tiffany'S are
some reVolvers which show to what eX-
tent people will carry their love of
ornamentation. One, a 3S-caliber re-
volver of the latest pattern, as far as
improvements go, has the handle so
heightened that it looks like an old
NSNOANACAA(o
lis of silver, beautifully carved and
chased and set with dozens of tur-
quoises. In the barrel joint and the
butt are large pieces of polished lapis
lazuli. The six-inch barrel is of etched
steel. Another larger revolver, of a
Russian model, has a sterling silver
handle formed of the coils of a serpent.
Another handle is of carved ivory in
icrusted with silver, and still another
of silver inlaid with mother of pearl
A fashionably dressed woman was
looking over these weapons when the
reporter came up. She was evidently
going to buy one and, as it turned out,
for herself. Her concession to the ira
ditions of the husband being the
stronger vessel was rather amusing.
Send these three up to the house. -
She said. My husband doesn't know
the first thing about them, but I'd Like
TO have him see them before 1 choose. -
If women continue their progress in
the line of hunting and target practice,
Dresden handles and accordion-plaited
barrels will probably be the next de-
velopment.-N York Sun

ELIMINATION OF THE CUBE ROOT.

A council of pedagogues has decided that
the cube root must be eliminated from
rudimentary instruction in arithmetic. In
the early days the schoolmaster explained
the problem very lucidly by the use of
wooden blocks and birch switches. But
there has been a great decrease in the tim
Der supply, and hence the study may have
Increased in cost. Anyway, it is of very
little use in ordinary business and the
modern student can find something more
calls Troy Times.

State Board Of Agriculture Circular.
The following circular has been issued
from thu office Of the state board of az.
riCulture:
"a large proportion OF the correspond
enOe that has lately been coming to the
state department Of agriculture indicates
that many persons have very erroneous
ideas as to what it Is in the power Of the
department to do. For instance, three
sorts Of applications that are altogether
in vain arrive in nearly every mail; one
10 for seeds-gardsn seeds especially;
another is TO have the secretary secure
from the railroads free transportation for
Bsed grain to the western counties Of the
state, and q third consists Of requests
for copies OF the last and previous bi-
Snnial reports Of the department.
Secretary Coburn desires that the
public may understand that the state
board Of agriculture has no garden nor
field seeds, nor connection with any sort
Of seed distribution, large or small, but
he suggests to applicants that there is q
bare possibility Of their obtaining some
portion Of the garden seeds needed from
the United States agricultural depart
ment by applying to their member Of
congress at Washington, d. G.
"Also, that requests for free transport
alton Of seed grains would more properly
be sent direct to the state board Of rail-
road commissioners, who naturally come
in much closer contact with transporta-
tion matters than do any other Of the
state departments. Further, the secre-
tRry says all the issues Of biennial sgri-
cultural reports are entirely exhausted,
and the same applies TO the Worlds Fair
pamphlets and all quarterly reports,
barring a limited number of those FOR
the quarter ending December 81 ultimo.
at is 10 be regretted that there II not
q generous supply Of all these docu-
ments on hand, as increasing demands Of
the most pressing character are being
made for them daily from oil parts Of the
country, and even from abroad. The
state could scarcely make q more judic-
iouB investment than in the distribution
this year, to anxious inquirsrs, of half q
million Of its agricultural reports, which
give such fund Of the information that
strangers are seeking in reference to
Kansas and have everywhere q standing
attained by no other works Of similar
character.
"As to the seeds, Mr.. Coburn under-
stands fully how important and desirable
1t is that these applicants should have
them, and he gympathizes heartily with
every effort which can be OF service 10
any Of the people Of the state, but as it il
altogether beyond hls power to furnish
either the seeds, the reports, or the free
transportation mentioned, it is merely q
waste Of time and postage to burden
him By requests with which he has no
means to comply"

books and accounts were carefully ex-
Rmined.
II herewith hand you copy OF the
report Of Mr.. Stsgg, and while I regret
to say the result Of his findings is not
satisfactory to this sfice, it is my desire
to suspend judgment in the hope chat
you may be able to make a satisfactory
explanation. Yours respectfully,
al. D. LEwELLNG, Governor"
The adjutsnt general returned the fol-
lowing reply, which contains his resigns-
ton:
"Hon. l.. d. LeWclIing, Governor Of the State of
KGnsGS:
"SR Your communication, just
handed me, has been carefully read and
considered, and I now have the honor to
reply. AS have not besn asked to make
any explanation heretofore concerning
the charges preferred against me, / here
with submit q statement Of my account,
which I hope may clearly explain to your
excsllency everything satisfactorily:
"In regard to vouchers 8 and IS, men,
toned in report Of Expert Accountant
Stagg, the amounts respectively Of
$l63.8l on voucher Ii, and 9l99 "a on
voucher 9, were by me drawn out on
June 80, 1893, as shown by said vouch-
srs, amounting in all to $368 65, for the
reason that there was then due for ex-
psnses already incurred the sum Of
$222.45, which was paid out Of this
amount, leaving balance belonging to
the state Of $l4l.20, which is now and
has been in the hands Of w. II. Blddle,
state treasurer, for safe keeping, subject
to my order. These amounts were
drawn out Of the treasury, for the reason
that part Of it had already been ex-
psnded By me in connection with the
Office, and there was no appropriation
for the years 1894 and 1895 for arsenal
repairs, and no fund out Of which such
expense could be drawn.
Voucher No. 2, drawn February %,
1893, was drawn in favor of Mr.. W. II.
Baker for services rendered in oonnec-
ton with the sdjutant generals Office.
"During the legislative trouble / had
employed four men three days, February
Is, 16 and II, to do extra guard duty in
and about the state house and arsenal,
for which / paid SO per day each, max
ing a total of $36. / employed Mr..
Baker four nights st 80 per night,
amounting to sS. Not being acquainted
with these men, except Mr.. Baker, and
they wanting their money at the close
Of that trouble, paid them out Of my
private funds and put the whole amount
in Mr.. Bakers voucher, which he
signed and the money was drawn ss
shown by voucher, Of which Mr.. Baker
received SS, and l received in return the
S72 l had paid out.
"As to furnishing tents to the G.. A. r.
encsmpment, the amount Of 15 cents
per tent was fixed for the reason that
there is no appropriation to defray such
expense. This amount is not only used
for drsysge, for packing and checking

ssry to make trips to encampments to
see that the tents are taken down,

E. A.Wsgener, OF Topeka, is staunch
republican supporter Of the suffrage

speeches in favor of it. He advises that
the issue be kept out Of all party plat

Of the state board of agriculture, is
bound to have job at the expense Of

The meeting was largely attended.
1t is now plainly seen why D. K. No.
land, whom the Populists elected com.
missioner Of Reno county, turned to be a
republican in the midst Of his term.
Upon doing so he entered into job to

Job, however, as it has already been
knocked out.
