the last administration win not 90 into
effect IL is learned that, in all proba-

commissioner Of pensions, who, by In

making close Investigation into the
economic features Of the case and
claims TO have discovered It is cheaper
to conduct the agencies as they now
exist than TO consolidate them.
Representative Curtis spent some
time yesterday with the new commits
sioner of pensions discussing matters
relating TO Kansas pension boards.
According to the information devcl-
oped, the only pension boards in the
classified service in Kansss are the fol-
lowing: Topeka, Kansas City, both
boards at Leavenworth and the one at
Winfield. None of the other boards
are classified, which will give the dele

was generally supposed, and will
enable those who were undecided
about these matters to send in their

CAPTURING A WHALE.
Winter Incident OF Amagansett Fisher

"Give IL 10 her, Gabew The long
iron sang through the air, the line
whizzed and smol,ed as the big chunk
Of fat into which the harpoon had sunk
dived with the frenzy of pain into the
blue depths of the Atlantic.
"Stand by with the lance, Cap'n
Joshl" And when the furry was past
and over, and the crew from the spilled
boat had been again gathered shiver-
ing into their craft, the wreath of fame
once more rested on the plain forehead
Of Amagansett, sweet Amagansett, the
birthplace of Roscoe Conklin, the last
village on Long island, going east,
where the sea Is salter and the sand is
sander than anywhere else on earth.
There amt no manner OF use says
Amagansett, ''in anything in the
shape of whales, less they's fnbacks or
blaclStish, goin' loahng around that
shore unless they are looking for trou-
ble. What's the use Of your New Bed
ford whalcrs, with years at sea away
from folks you like TO see, when you
can just settle down, raise potatoes
and fish, fatten boarders or engage in
any other light and easy pursuit, pnd
wait for the whales TO come To you?7
That's the Amagansett idea, and
Amagansett after 25 years of practical
experience has demonstrated that a
few boat loads OF good men with Capt
Joshua Edwards in command and Gabe
in charge Of the harpooners, can turn
an honest dollar at whaling, just as
well as II they owned a 7O-tonner.

Women Made Eligible to Join the National
Guards In Colorado.
DENVER, Col, April 1O.-The new
militia law, introduced by Rhode, and
passed by the house and senate, intro
duces one of the most startling revolu-
tions in modern warfare that has yet
been adopted by any civilized nation,
for under its provisions the Colorado
national guard may in future be COM
posed of both men and women. Colo
rado, always foremost in adopting adj
vanced ideas, has capped the climax,
after permitting women to vote, abol-
ishing capital punishment and allowing
women to serve on juries, by passing a
law which will enable them in the fu-
ture TO participate in actual warfare,
side by side with man, her natural
protector. The bill has not yet been
signed by the governor, but there is
little doubt that IL will be signed, and
the period of mans tyranny in Colo
RADIO will be at an end. Should women,
however, enlist under the new law a
change in the style of uniform that
have heretof ore been furnished the ma
tional guard in Colorado will be nee
lessary. but this is aproblem n which can
easily be solved.
