FIRE INSURANCE MONEY.
Steps Taken to Get Funds for the Fire
Companies.


State Superintendent of Insurance
Geo. T. Anthony has issued a circular
letter to the fire insurance companies
doing business in Kansas ordering them
to report to him at once on the 2 per
cent reciprocal tax for fire departments.
Superintendent Anthony asked the
companies for a detailed report of all
their policies in every town in the state
and some of the companies objected be-
cause they said Superintendent Anthony
was meddling in something which was
their own private business He now tells
them they must send the detailed re-
ports but promises that no one but the
employees in his department will be al
lowed to see them.
The towns in Kansas having fire de-
partments to the value of more than
$1,000 will be entitled to a share of this
tax. They are:
Anthony. Argentine, Arkansas City,
Atchison. BeIleville, Beloit, Caldwell,
Cawker City, Centralia, Cherryvale,
Clay Center. Columbus, Concordia,
Council Grove. Downs, Emporia, Enter

A WASTEOF MONEY
To Give Anything to the FOssiIized State
Temperance Union.

To Give Anything to the FossiIized State
Temperance Union.
The State Temp erance union, it is
claimed, is at work raising money for a
general campaign against the liquor
trafic over the state.
Since the resignation of Secretary L,
L. Roby, his place has been filed by AL
bert Watkins, local attorney. Rev. c.
ii. Sheldon, who was at first selected as
Mr.. Roby's successor, declined the place.
Mr.. Roby resigned because the union
had become an old fossil, and its main
efforts were devoted to providing the
Rev. Mr.. Wake salary rather than sup
pressing the liquor traffic.
Mr.. F. o. Popenoe is officiating as
treasurer of the union, succeeding Mrs.
S. A. Thurston, who resigned. BIrs.
Thurston also resigned because of the
uselessness of the organization.
Rev. T. E. Stephens, one of the organ
izers of the union, is at work in Topeka
with a subscription paper securing funds
to start the campaign.
All the money raised will be wasted
unless the concern is conducted differ
emily from what it has been. And il
cannot be conducted differently without
a different head.

of the pills. l am now completely cured

slight accent. She has a perfect ply
sique and shows that nature has de-
signed her for the medical profession
by her sympathetic kindness and ten
derness towards the sick. Although
yet only 10 years Of age, she has had OPP
portunity to learn from experience
what takes years to study from books.
The four years at college seem to her
a long time to look forward to. AL
though she has her husband here, Mrs.
PAX longs to go back to her beautiful
country, and work therefor the good
of her own sex, to deliver them from
bondage of ignorance and superstition.
When only Is years of age, Esther
was once left in charge of the hospital
in Corea during the temporary absence
of the physician, when a woman came,
asking relief for severe toothache.
Esther showed her the forceps and
asked the woman if she would let her
take out the aching tooth.
The woman gave her consent and
Esther applied the instrument. She
pulled once, no-the obstinate tooth
would not yield; another wrench and
out came a molar with three big roots.
Since then she has extracted at least so
teeth.
What American girl would have had
such pluck?
Mrs. PAX in coming to a Christian
country, expected to find all men and
women excellent, but she said: ''Isoon
found out quite differently"
This energetic young woman with
her deep conviction of a calling, her
quiet observation and her winning ways,
has already won friends in this country,
who are ready to assist her in her good
work and encourage her as she deserves.

She Has Come to the United States
to Study Medicine.
HOW ESTHER PAX OBTAINED THE
Right to Travel in Her Native COun-

Right to Travel in Her Native COun-
try-Her Presence of Mind in Very
Trying circumstances.
The only mode of travelling for wom-
en- in Corea is by chairs, and, therefore,
they seldom go very far from home.
No unmarried woman is allowed to go
travelling or show herself in public
alone.
1t was this reason that induced Kim,
a young Corean woman, who had since
her childhood been educated by the
Methodist missionaries, to marry in
order that she might be allowed to go
out among the heathens of her own
country and preach the Gospel. The
marriage turned out a very happy one
and the young couple have had no
trouble, although they never saw each
other until the wedding day, and
Esther, which is her Christian name,
was enabled to do good among her peo-
pie as an interpreter and teacher.
1t was her good fortune when only Is
years old to be employed as interpreter
of DR.. Rosette Sherwood Hall, a medical
missionary, who took a great interest
in the bright young woman and in
structed her in the use of medicine,
employing her as a nurse in Corean
missionary hospital in Seoul.
Esther PAX, such is her married name,
wishing to follow the medical profess
sion, was the first Corean woman who
resolved to come to America. After
due permission from the Corean gov
eminent had been obtained, Esther
PAX and her husband came to this coun-
try in company with DR.. Hall, who still
keeps up her interest in her young
protege.
Mrs. PAX, who is fair representa-
tive of the Monaghan type in appear
ance, has often been annoyed in trav-
cling in America by persons who believe
her to be a Chinese woman, kilograms
having been sent as to her identity,
and only DR.. Halls kind protection has
saved her from unnecessary detention
and trouble.
1t is Mrs. Pak's intention to enter a
medical college next year, for which
she is now preparing herself. She

A Drunken Hiss at Camden Upsets the
Governor and Stops His Speech
CAMDEN, n. J., Dec. 5.-One lone hiss
from an apparently Intoxicated auditor in
the Temple theater here SO angered ex-
Governor bob" Taylor of Tennessee
that he left the stage in anger and alb
ruptly closed the entertainment, which
he and his brother, ex-Congressman
"Alf,' were billed to give. The brothers
were greeted by large audience, which
seemed to appreciate their efforts.
"Bob" was making an address eulogis-
tic of the south, telling whimsical stories
and singing old songs, when a man in
the gallery gave utterance to a grunt of
displeasure and then a hiss. The ex-
governor stopped short, turned his eyes
up to the gallery. and said:
There is one fool in the house. l have
the greatest respect for the brave men
who met the south in the clash of arms
ON the battlefield, but l have the most
supreme contempt for the person who
jeers at the south in this day of good
will between the sections. l am sure he
never smelled powder. He should be
put out"
Then the ex-governor walked OF the
stage. As an evidence that the audience
was by no means in sympathy with the
man AL INC + d4ASLyS ASdEtJ applause 1OA-
lowed the speech.
The curtain went down, however, and
after few seconds painful silence an
attache of the show stepped forward
and said:
"This is the first time we have been
treated discourteOusly, and Gov. Taylor
is too much disconnected to proceed with
the entertainment"
