HOMETHATwAs NOTHAPPY
Mrs. Andrew Folquist Relates a
Thanksgiving Story of Cruelty
and Suffering

Little did Mrs Andrew Folquist who
lives at First and Topeka avenue, have
to be thankful for yesterday. The fol-
lowing story of Mrs. FOlquistS is of
cruelty and hardship:
With but half enough in the house
for herself and the children, Mrs. Fol-
quist retired on Thanksgiving eve
with the hope that her husband would
return in the morning with enough for
the family to be thankful for. Andrew
Folquist returned yesterday morning
before daylight, ana instead of aWak-
ening his wife in an orderly way, he
broke in the door and ordered he to
get up and cook breakfast.
But there is hardly anything to
cook" said Mrs. FOlquist.
Get up anyway and cook something
and don't tell me there is not enough
to eat roared F'Ofquist.
Mrs. Folquist got up and started a
fire There was not enough for one
hungry person, but she cooked it, and
they sat down to breakfast. Her hus-
band swore at her because there was
not enough to appease his hunger and
got up and left the house.
He returned at noon, and when Mrs.
Folquist begged him for food enough
for herself and four children, ne swore
at her and commanded her to be quiet.
Don't spend all your money for
drink begged Mrs. F'Olquist. Get the
children something to eat"
Mrs F'Olquist had a six months old
baby in her arms. F'Olquist swOre at
her and attempted to strike her. Mrs.
Folquist fled to the next room and shut
the door. Folquist kicked it open and
darted after her. He knocked her down
with his fist, and while she lay grOan-
ing on the floor he kicked her several
times in the side and face. The ba-
by's face was cut and bleeding and all
four children were crying piteOusly.
With curses on his lips, FOlquist left
his family in a rage.
Mrs FOlquist got up, and, leaving
her four children alone, she made her
way to the police station. Her head
panied her and large abrasion on her
temple told the cause. She told her
story to Officer Heartburg, and the Of
ficer returned with her and arrested
her husband when he returned He was
taken to the station and the charge of
drunkenness put opposite his name, and
late in the evening when he SObered up
enough to go, he deposited 50 for his
appearance and left the station. He
did not return to his family till late.
Mrs. Folquist said: 4 cannot live
with him My health is broken, and I
cannot support the family. All his
money goes for drink. He works at
the Santa Fe shops and makes enough
to keep us if he would. This is not the
first time he has beaten me when he
was drunk I have raised four children
in four years and I am not now able
to work hard, as I once could. It does
no good for the police to fine him, as
that only takes that much away from
I his family. He will spend just as
/ much for drink.

CABLE AROUND THE WORLD
British Desire Authority to Land
Gable on Hawaii

New York, Nov 26.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald is authOri-
ty for the following:
1t is the desire of the British govern
ment that the United States shall auth
Orize a British company to land ca
bic on one of the Hawaiian islands. this
cable to connect Canada and Australia.
Such authority is opposed by the French
government, on the ground that the
laying of cable with British capital
would place Great Britain in control of
Geographic system reaching around
the entire world, and that in the event
Of war before message could be trans
mitted, the British government s consent
would have to be obtained.
In case Great Britain We're engaged
in hostilities, a diplomat pointed out, it
would be practically impossible for
France to send message over any ca
BILE which did not pass through British
| territory, except that which connects
France and Cape Cod, Mass.
NJ PatenOtre has made a representa-
ton on the subject to Secretary Sher-
man, who said he did not think it
would make much difference; this gov
eminent could use the cable if it desir-
ed and in case of necessity an opposi-
ton line could be established. The
French officials, however, point out
that in case of war between the United
States and Great Britain the govern
ment would find itself seriously hand
! icapped if the cable were under British
| control.
Information has reached here that
| agents of the British company interest
! ed in the cable enterprise and the con-
| sui general of Great Britain in Honolu-
| lu are making a determined effort to
| secure recommendation from the
Dole authorities to the United States
/ that the British company be allowed to
| land a cable. Mr.. SeWall, the diplO-
| matte representative of this govern
ment to Hawaii is wholly opposed to
| the granting of such permission on the
ground that such action would be pre-
! judicial to the interests of his govern
! ment. It is impossible for the Dole
/ authorities to give permission to lay a
| treaty between Hawaii and the United
/ States

GEORGE GOULD PREPARED.
Head of One of Americas Richest
Families Said to Carry a Pistol

New York Nov. est is said that
George Gould carries a pistol
According to the story Mr.. Gould, when
he reached Delmonico's last night for the
Chamber OF Commerce dinner, went to the
office and. taking out good sized pistol,
asked the cashier to keep it Tor him until
after the dinner was over
a friend standing by asked Mr.. Gould
whether he was in the habit of carrying
a pistol, and Mr.. Gould is said to have
replied:
''Oh. no; my man just slipped it into my
pocket, and 1 didn't know it was there
until 1 had left my house,
rs it possible remarked man at Del
1nonico's today, that Mr.. Gould habit
usually goes about so heavily loaded down
with other things that he doesn't notice
the difference OF a pistors weight
Mr.. Gould in travelling generally dresses
very simply; in fact often cheaply, and
wears a SLOUGH hat. so that the average
person would never imagine that he is the
head of one OF the richest families in
the United States.

Santa Fe to Reduce Glass Rate
to Colorado.
New Tariff From the Missouri
River Scheduled
IN EFFECT TOMORROW
Dodge City Depot and Eating
House to Open
Early in Observation-Disclosures
Reading Room.

Kansas City, Nov. 26.-The Santa Fe
Will tomorrow put into effect class
rates from Chicago, the Mississippi
river and the Missouri river to Colo
RADIO common points calculated to
more nearly protect Kansas City job
bers on business to those points, Den
Yer, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Trim
dad and to the territory reached by
basing rates on Colorado common
points.
The new rates named by the Santa
Fe viii be the same from Chicago and
the Mississippi river to Colorado as the
rates named by the Transmissouri
lines.
The reductions are from the Missou-
ri river and are on three classes-lS
cents on first, Il cents on second and 10
cents on fifth On the other seven
classes the rates named by the Santa
F'e from the Missouri river are the same
as those of the other lines. Doubtless
all Colorado roads will meet the Santa
Fe's rates, making them effective as
soon as legal notice to the interstate
commerce commission can be had.
The new rates named by the Santa
Fe are: First class, % cents; second,
% cents; third, 25 cents; fourth, p
cents; fifth, 10 cents; A, IS cents: B,
10 cents; G, Is cents; D, Is cents; E, ID
cents from Kansas City to Colorado
common points.
This reduces the discrimination
against Kansas City and in favor of
St. Louis, Chicago and other eastern
jobbing centers, on first class to 2
cents from 20 cents; on second class,
to s cents from 20 cents, and on fifth
class to 10 cents from % cents. On the
other seven classes the discrimination
remains the same, third class, % cents;
fourth class, % cents; A, Is cents; B,
Az cents; c, i cents; ID, S12 cents; Z,
cents
While these rates are far from pro-
tective as a whole, they improve the
situation materially for Kansas City
on the three classes affected, and es-
pecially on first class, under which the
cent discrimination remaining can be
absorbed by merchants on business to
Colorado common points.
