the young man appeared TO show" his
interested and interesting pupil.
Such amiability, however. was not at
all pleasing to John Warren, another of
the oldest, though by no means bright
est, scholars in school. Before the ad-
vent of the new teacher, John had been
the recipient of an occasional smile
from the directors daughter, but of
late the young lady had apparently for
gotten the young man in her deep alb
sorption in algebra and history.
1t was this unfortunate condition,
speaking from John Warren's stand
point, that had led to Mr.. Aliens dis
comfture. Squire Warren was a neigh
Dor of Director Hathaway and the two
farmers were firm friends. So when the
squire's son began to make disparaging
remarks about the teacher. and the ia
Their, whose faith in his only son was
unbounded, had become prejudiced
against the young man, he mentioned
the matter to the director and easily
persuaded that worthy official, whose
acquaintance with the teacher had ex-
tended little farther than had been in
cidental to the duty of making a con-
tract with him. that young Allen" was
not "fit person to conduct our school.
lie is too familiar with the scholars and
hasn't enough dignity to fill such a re-
sponsible position"
Director Hathaway was a man OF
promptness and decision, whose will
was law with the board. so when he
called his colleagues together and de-
livered the opinion that the teacher was
too young and inexperienced to con-
duct the winter term, the assessor and
the moderator meekly acquiesced
though they both felt in their hearts
that the young man had performed
his duties well.
So it came about during the last week
of the term that Mr.. Allen had been
given formal notice that his services
would not be needed any longer. He
had been greatly surprised and morti-
fed at this announcement, and his pu-
pills had shown their disapproval of the
boards arbitrary action in a way that
threatened open revolt-all but John
Warren, who could hardly repress his
exultation at the turn affairs had taken.
One year before this incident Herbert
Allen had been the favored son of a
rich merchant in an eastern city. His
mother had long been in the grave and
Herbert had spent most of his boyhood
days in famous preparatory school
Just as he was ready to enter college

So the Story Goes, Involves the
Control of Shawnee
For His Purposes at the Hutch
insOn Convention.
THE COUNTY WAS SOLD
To Leland For the Price of Cur.
it's Nomination.
But Can All the Goods BE De-
liYered2

It seems tolerably clear now that
Shawnee county's thirty-seven dele
gates to the Republican state conven-
ton are to be controlled by Cyrus Lee
land, in accordance with the terms Of
the agreement made between NJ. A.
Low, Dave Mulvane, Judge Horton and
Mr.. Leland, which resulted in the nom
nation of Charlie Curtis for congress.
The agreement, it is said, goes even
farther than was generally supposed
Mr.. Low, 1t is reported, and Mr.. Null
vane, it is admitted, are very anxious
to send J. r. Burton to the United
States senate. Leland prevented this
when Mr.. Baker was nominated. The
Topekans mentioned desired Mr.. Lee
lands support in the next campaign for
that office and established system OF
reciprocity in which the first act came
from Leland. He has delivered the first
inStallment of goods and made it posi-
the most important victories in Kansas
politics, and in district in which he
had resided but year.
The next step is to be taken by the
Shawnees who are expected to stand by
Mr.. Leland and vote as he directs at
the state convention.
The finale of this arrangement APP
pears when the various elements repre-
sented in this combination unite in sup
porting Mr.. Burton for United States
senator.
The friends of Burton are striving to
make it appear that he has no inten-
ton of seeking to succeed Senator Ba-
ker. But, the indications are that an
effort will be made to retire Mr.. Baker,
should the legislature be Republican at
the expiration of his term of office in
two years Mr.. Burton, although APP
parently very friendly to Mr.. Baker is
in reality very much dissatisfied with
the present senator from Kansas and
imagines that he is not big enough for
the place, especially when I want it,"
Mr.. Burton not only thinks this but has
practically made such a statement to
his friends.

furnished the curious rumOr that the Gu

the United States. This story, however,
came from Paris, and it may have been
started by Madrid, which has been the
source of a great deal of transformation
throughout the controversy between the
Spanish government and our own. There
is not much to encourage investors to
