1t was Christmas afternoon and Eve

than one English prison. He was first
imprisoned in 1882 for melting riots. AS

and sentenced to six months imprison-

served three.
While under bail for trial in 1890 he
escaped from Ireland, got safely to
France and came to this country with
his fellow refugee O'Brien. He re-
turned, however, and served out his
sentence of six months, having been
convicted during his absence. In the
beginning Of his career he was heuten-

World are public benefactors and stand

they want security of about three times

THERE is something about the Kansas
woman-an easy, daring grace - that
makes her stand out above the rest OF
humanity like a wart on a bald head.
Mary Elizabeth Lease is an example of
this, but she is not the only one. A dis
patch from Topeka, Kan, informs us
that forty young school mains who are
molding young brains in the vicinage
known as No Mans Land, having looked
about them for a plan to occupy their
leisure moments, have hit upon cattle
raising. They have no intention OF
stopping school teaching on this account,
the collaborating business being nothing
but side issue.
It has been the custom for men when
they undertake cattIe-raising to make a
business of it, but here are these young
women who hold this weak, manly en-
ployment in such disdain that they un-
dertake it only as a pastime. Tired by
the strain of teaching, the am bilious young
woman will dismiss school aud rest her
weary self rounding up few head of
cattle or by branding some of the s'crit-
ters." Thus day by day man is being
shown by the Kansas woman what
poor, weak, miserable creature he ia and
what puny tasks are those which he has
been wont to look upon as mighty works.
We may expect in a short time to see
the Kansas schoolma'm editing a paper
in the morning, conducting MONDAY SER
vices, overseeing a cattle ranch in the
afternoon and devoting the evening to
such social and political reforms as she
may think proper. -Chicago Record.
Chicago and New York editors are al
ways busy with fnicky word building
about something wonderful that is per-
petually happening in Kansas. The ed
itorials are beautiful, but the presumed
facts are always lies; but what is the
poor hired editor to do; he is seeking
something odd and original to write
about and odd and original things seldom
happen.
