wolves, and had to beat out hole in
the grass or the snow before they could

smell the rabbits and other animals

let their noses touch the ground. going
to sleep with their noses resting on
their paws. And they have done that
ever since.

That India. after foreign occupa-
ton of some centuries and in spite of
the apparent poverty of the great bulk
OF the people. is still probably the
greatest treasure house on earth. is
due to the fact that for ages it was,
with Ceylon and Burmah, the field
which supplied the rest of the world

spices, but with precious stones. the
finest specimens Of which, however

Kansas Women Till Farms.

Half Of the crops raised in Kansas
are sown and gathered by women,
said Seymour Davis. one of the largest
agriculturists in southern Kansas. in a
recent conversation. This may seem
a rather startling statement TO com
prehend at first, but | know il to be
absolutely true. Since the war in the
Philippines. nearly 1000 more women
have begun work in the fields. Nearly
every member of the Twentieth Kan
sas volunteers was a farmer. and they
left wives. sisters and sweethearts be-
hind them. These women resolved at
once to do the proper thing. and they
are running the farms themselves,
while the boys are away. It's patri-
otto thing. but there are more widows.
orphans. and spinsters who run farms
than the other class. Altogether there
are 1000 women in the state who farm.
| think that is about 80 per cent. Of
the entire farmer population. ! mean
the head of families. who reside on
farms-women and children excluded.
Il was out about Salina and Fort
Scott when war was decided. Those
farmer boys and men could hardly re-
main at home long enough to do the
the women on farms all over the state
declared themselves in favor of urging
the men folks to enlist. and they would
tend the crops while they We're away.
The men folks needed no urging, and
FASTENED to join the ranks and form
the Twentieth Kansas under Funston.
After they We're gone the women
went nobly to work. Mrs. Mary Dix
and her two daughters run a 250-acre
farm in Wilson county. Father and
son both enlisted. Mrs. Sample. a
widow. whose son is with Colonel
Funston. lives on small tract of land
in Sumner county, and does the work
! herself Her crop yield will be excel
lent this year.
II came to the state in 1875. and
women had already commenced to
farm then. My wife has plowed in the
field many day while l was out hunt
ing after cattle the Indians had stolen
Many of the frontier women of the
state did likewise. The girls of this
state who work on farms are as highly
educated as those who work in stores
or adorn the drawing room. Indeed. I
| have seen some of the prettiest girls in
the state on the farms They wear
sunbOnnets and do not get tanned OF
but that only proves they are not
afraid of work. After all, the Kansas
woman is a heroine"

The Squire's Decision.

Squire Henry Grelle of BeltZhoover,
Pa, does not like lawyers. He believes
that they stir up too much trouble by
dragging musty old books into his
office and insisting that he follow the
precedents they dig from them. de
has the full approval of his constitu-
ents. His justice is the sort that Is
equitable between man and man. and
not that misnamed stuff that depends
on the techncalities of law books Tor
standing.
One of Squire Grelle's early cases
was brought against friend OF ms,
who was accused of cruelty to ami
mails. The man had been bothered by
vicious dog, and he shot at 1t. The
bullet cut a piece off its tail. but did
no other harm. The trial attracted a
large crowd. There was conflicting
evidence as to the dog. Some OF the
witnesses said that it was gentle ami
NAL. and others declared that 1t ought
% be killed.
Il will reserf my decision until next
weeg," said the squire after he had
heard the testimony.
He was not satisfied as to the dog.
and while he had the case under con-
sideration he made some inquiries in
the neighborhood. He learned that
the dog was bad. But the manning OF
il by depriving it of a part of its tail
was cruel act, and he did not see
how he could get over that, even IN
favor of his friend.
When the day came for him to give
his decision it was evident TO the
crowd that had gathered in his office
that he had made up his mind. He
called the defendant up.
You admid shooting this dog"
Yes, do, squire; but the dog
Dot will do. Sid down." And he
called the owner of the dog forward.

him.
