yer in the United States. She was the
first woman to be admitted to the bar
In Tennessee, where she obtained her
legal education, and now she has re-
turned to Kansas, where she means to
practice her profession. But Miss Lytle
does not mean to depend on fees alone.
She has designs on some of the offices
which the state legislature has to dis
pose of and she means to break into
politics She does not choose Kansas as
her field Of operations merely because
1t is her home, but mainly on account
Of the fact that in the Sunfower State

in other commonwealths.
Miss Lytle is 28 years old and is in
telligent and good looking. Her father
was, before the war, a slave on the es-
tate of Colonel Patrick Sloane, near
Chilhowee, Tenn About 20 years ago
he moved to Kansas and engaged in
business. He has been successful and is
regarded as the richest colored man in
the state. Lutte was given the best of
educational advantages and improved
them. In 1891, through her fathers
political influence, she was appointed
one of the engrossing clerks for the
legislature, and this experience in office
holding led her to be ambitious for
further public career.
She decided that in order to be prop
erly equipped for the struggle she
should be a lawyer, so she went to
Nashville and entered the Central Ten
nessee college, an institution fer the
higher education Of colored students.
There she took two years. law course
and last spring was graduated with
high honors. She was the class valedic-
torian and was not only furnished with
a diploma, but with license granting
her the right to practice in any Of the
courts in Tennessee. The other day she
went to Memphis and was formally ad-
mitted to the bar. Since then she has
returned to Topeka, where she has
opened law Office, and during the next
campaign she may be expected to take
no small part
