ONE HONEST MAN.

IF tell the old man that want to go
to funeral, he will think l am going to a
ball game, and then, of course l shall have
to stay here,' unused the bookkeeper "But
that won't do at all. / must 90. I can't
think of staying away from Uncle Johns
funeral Poor old uncle He was always
kind to me. I'll 60 if lose my job. I'll
outwit that crusty old Money bags or my
name is not Lewellyn Ledgers." And
walking brskly into the private Office he
addressed the head of the firm as follows:
81 should like to 90 to the ball game
this afternoon, Mr.. Moneybags, if you
don't mind'
"What's that?" snapped his employer,
glaring at him over his gold trimmed spec
tacles.
81 should like to go to the ball game
this afternoon, sir. | haven'e seen one
since last summer"
THE ball game?" Mr.. Moneybags
fairly gasped with establishment.
''Yes, STA. You see, I've got a little
money up on the game, and naturally am
interested in the result"
'Well, you are most original young
man." replied Mr.. Moneybags, land like
your straightforward manner, Now, ifyou
had attempted to palm off on me any OF
those time worn lies about going to fu-
neral or anything Of that sort, I would have
refused point blank. AS it is, shall let
you go. You have been working hard Of
late, and l think little recreation will do
you good.

pared to leave the Office the typewriter girl
heard him chuckle quietly to himself and
say:

HE WASN'T DEAREST.
But the Fat Woman CycliSt Talked to
Him Without Reserve.

Him Without Reserve.
There is one amusing feature about
wheel riding that all old riders and good
many new ones must have noticed-that is
the way in which moderately proficient
rider will carry on a conversation with
some one behind him without really know
ing who that some one may be. A moder-
atcly proficient rider isn't clever enough to
turn his head to look backward and so he
talks right on in the dark.
The other day wheelman was climbing
the Dodge street hill. There isn't much
of hill on Dodge street, but slight as it is
it hothers the new riders. just ahead OF
the wheelman in question, who was riding
at leisurely rate, was stout lady
mounted on new bike Half way up the
incline the wheelman was astonished to
hear her call out:
Coming dear?'
The wheelman didn't answer. lie felt
sure the inquiry couldn't be to him, and
he kept silence.
IAN out OF breath, dearrs" she called
again.
And again the wheelMun made no reply
Don't be discouraged she cheerily
shouted. you'll get there by and by,
dearest"
The wheelman thought so, too, but he

"Does it tire DOR little armies so muchee?

That was too much for the wheelman.
lie put on steam and passed the lady. AS
he whirIed by she caught sight of his
smiling countenance.
"Oh, | beg your pardonn' she cried and

When the wheelman had gone little
farther. he looked back over his shoulder
aud saw a lank young fellow, with fuzzy
little side whiskers, toling YEARLY up the
hill.
And he feels pretty sure that was "dear-

In the Egyptian family the parents
choose a name for their baby by lighting
three wax candles; to each Of these they
give name, one of the three always be-
candle that burns the longest bestows the
name upon the baby.
The Mohammedans sometimes write de-
sirable names on five slips of paper, and
these they place in the Koran. The name
upon the first slip drawn out is given to
the child.
The children of the Amos, people liv-
ing in Northern ,'apan, do not receive their
names until they are 5 years old. 1t is the
father who then chooses the name by which
the child is afterward to be called.
The Chinese give their boy babies a name
in addition to their surnames, and they
must call themselves by these names until
they are 90 years old. At that aye the
father gives his son a new name.

GOV LEEDY WANTS TO KNOW.
Calls for an Accounting for Certain
Moneys by State Institutions

Governor Leedy proposes to have an
accounting of the interest on endow-
ment funds and the interest on other
FUNDS which the various state educa-
uonaI institutions draw from the ma
uonal government and from the state
of Kansas.
Acting under authority from the gov
ernor Joseph E. Riggs, state account
ant, has prepared a series of blanks up
ON Which these statements are to be
made and has forwarded them to the
various institutions with the request
that they be filled out and returned
under proper certification, as soon as
possible.
When interest from any source ac-
cumuIates in the state treasury the
authorities at the colleges which are
entitled to the money simply make out
a voucher, draw the money and thereby
end the transaction. There is then no
record in the office of the state auditor
as to the disposition of the funds so
drawn, but the decision of the governor
to call for an accounting will supply
that deficiency.
Some OF the institutions also receive
money from the national government
but there is no record showing what is
done with it. The governor has includ-
ed this also in the statement asked for.
