e A Kansas Town Tasting Heaven. -

(From the Baltimore SUM-
The town of Beattie, in the state of Kan
sas should be. and probably is. the most
beatitudinOuS of all towns. In it the sweet
influence of woman is supreme and petit
coat government is firmly established. The
same thing may be said in a general way
of other towns. But in other towns wO-
man rules through masculine agents, and
by them the government is corrupted. In
Beattie, however, lovely woman has grasp
ed the reinS of government in her own
small but firm hand and men are showed
aside without ceremony, as they should be
when they get in the way. The mayor of
Beattie is woman and four of the five
councilmen are of the same persuasion.
The minority is composed of one poor
man.
Unless that man has been hardened by
the Harveyizing process he is doubtless
made to feel his inferiority at every meet
ing of the board. We can imagine the
scorn with which his propositions are re-
ceived by the majority, unless, indeed, he
is a single and some of the ma jority
spinsters. The meetings of the mayor
and council are converted into afternoon
teas, where conversation is unconfined and
where even Mr.. Two Tongues of laxative
Alley would find himself outdOne.
And while all this is going the town
IS governed like Utopia. The streets are
busted and swept every morning. Rum
Is not permitted to ruin any happy home

Trouble with the Rnrn

An old veteran of the civil war. Cot Gunson, irascible in his manner bur generous at heart, was much annoyed by the boys Of the neighborhood. who persisted in climbing upon and run nlng over the flat roof of his barn an unpretending structure sloplng toward the alley. and easily sealed from the asnbarrei.
 The colonel threatened and seoldea but to no purpose. He strung barbed wire along the edge of the barn. but the boys wrapped old clothes arounl 1t and climbed over it. He chained a savage dog on the roof. and the boys made friends with the animal and stole it.
 In desperation. he smeared tar all over the roof one day. and the boes were temporarily baked, but before they had decided upon plan for cir cumYenting the colonel it ehauced that a teamster, in driving through the aI- ley one hot afternoon, lighted his pipe and careiessiy threw the match up on the top of the barn, with the result that the roof was ablaze in an in- stant.
 The boys happened to be playing in the alley Quick as a flash they sprang to the rescue. With buckets of water brought from a horse trough in the back yard across the alley they clam bered Up to the edge Of the roof and fought the flames so successfully that they put them out before the wood had time to catch fire.
 Boys exclaimed Col. Gunson. who arrived on the scene in time to witness the triumph Of the impromptu fire brig ade, and was full of generous entha- siasm tomorrow I shall cover whats left of the tar with sand, strengthen the supports of the roof. and you may play on it all you want to hereafter. You've got the right stuff in you!"
 The colonel was as good as his word but will it be believed ?-such is the of boy nature-that after he had turned that roof over to them for a playground, not a boy in the ever set foot upon 1t again.

Fun on 2 Military rransport.

When the United States transport zelandia carried part Of tha second ex- petition of troops from San Francisco to Manila during the early part of the war now in progress, aboard were the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers and the now famous Utah battery.
 To divert the monotony of a long voyage the yet untrained soldiers in- dulged in all sorts of games and pranks during the intervals between drill and school.
 The officers were not all inclined to stand upon military dignity, and so when the priyates had exhausted each others good nature they dragged in the noneoms. who in turn dragged the commissioned officers into the va rious traps the skylarkers set for each other.
 Says an ex-high private who took the voyage in question:
 Some of the boys were gathered together on the forward deck; quietly they passed the word back that so and so was wanted Coming forward one of the group would beckon to him mysteriously and as he stopped to us- ten 'whack would come a tremendous blow from barrel staye from some unknown source behind him.
 After a yell of laughter had sub sided he would be handed the stavs and given the privilege of naming the next victim.
 This happened in turn to private, corporal, sergeant, lieutenant, captain and major, and the boldest held their breath as the major. with a grim smile. said:
 " Private Smith, present my complI- ments to the colonel and tell him that Maj. - respectfully desires his pres ence forward

One cannot teach the dig nity of labor who does not feel it and IL is only to those who look upon it as degradation that it becomes such.
