An Irish paper prints this protest
from "a Cyclist": While cycling on
the road near Healy's bridge foxey
terrier dog stole on me unperceived
and bit me on the calf OF the leg, from
which am now suffering. The dog,
understand, belongs to magistrate
who resides in the neighborhood, and
is allowed to wander on the road un-
muzzled, and yet sits on the bench in
judgment on Others"
A law class of forty-eight women
has just been graduated from New
York University. 1t is now nine years
since this course was introduced, yet
the public is just beginning to UNDER
stand and appreciate it's purpose. Its
| aim is not to make lawyers out Of
women, but to give them a practical
knowledge of the laws which concern
them, especially in the direction of the
management of property.
Here is a new style of wedding no
tice from Windsor, Mo-: His name is
Ortis P. Edds and he is sixteen years
old. Her name was Pearl Ramp and
she is fifteen years old. Sunday they
were married in Warrensburg, and
then moved to a farm near Lamonte,
where they will go to housekeeping
and take up the struggle against the
great imaginary wolf that keeps men
hustling and women scheming from
dawn until the crack of DOOM"
Down here they saw the horns off
the wild" or Texas cattle before they
ship them east. The animals pack
are not SO likely to injure one an
other and look better to the buyer. A
Texas steer may carry just as much
beef and tallow as a muley COW, but
his long horns make him look eaner.
Texas cattle have a bad reputation,
too, and when their horns are sawed
of they look as innocent and harmless
as barnyard heifer.-Iola (kas.) Let

The names of some of the Oklahoma
newspapers show high range of origi-
nc,ity. In the published list is the
Shawnee Daily Dinner Bell The Rus
tier is favorite name, and there are
several papers so called in different
parts Of the territory, although in the
cattle trade 1t has a dreadful signifi-
canoe. The Sunbeam is also popular
as a name for newspapers and there
are several down here. The Kingfisher
Kicker is an influential Populist organ,
and its rival is the Pottawatomie
County Plain People.-Correspon

Apropos of the question as to wheth-
er or not women should remove their
hats in church Lexington (Mo.) man
suggests return to the good old Gus
tom under which the men sat on one
side of the church and the women on
the other. I'm that way" he says,
"the women could get the full benefit
of their big hats. Women who remove
their hats out of courtesy to those who
sit behind them could, of course, sit
where they chose. The others could
have the full benefit of attempting to
see the preacher through a jungle of
feathers and gee-gaWs."
A generation ago there were only
two colleges in the United States draw
ing interest on funds reaching 1,OOO,-
600. Now a Chicago college asks an
addition to its endowment of $4,000, 900
In a single year, although it already
has productive funds amounting to
$5,8OO,O0O. A single individual with
in comparatively few years has be-
slowed upon it s7,426,OOO. Harvard's
interest bearing funds last year were
$S,96S, 053; Yale's, $4,5OO0O0; Column
bias, $9,500,000; Cornell's, $6,446,S1s;
Girard's, $15,O4S, 146 and Leland Stan
ford, Jr.'s, $3,50O,O0O.
In letter to an Ottawa county (Kan-
sas) paper one of the members of Gen.
MacArthur's brigade writes from Ma
Mia: Might before last was on pick
ct duty all night, and yesterday morn
ing found that the niger picket was
within hundred yards Of me. After
a little talk we both laid down our
guns and met between the lines and
had a little visit He said the people
in their army did not want to fight us,
but they had to or their officers would
kill them. He also said that he had
not had bite to eat for three days.
I gave him what bareback had with
me, and it did me more good to see
him eat it than if I had eaten it my
SELF When we parted we shook
hands, and he cried like a baby"
