Cablegram from Manila.

The general public while reading
the exciting news fran Manila,
can have very little conception of
the mmeLse distance the dispatch
es from that point have to travel
to reach this country. The New
York Sun recently figured out the
distances. From the island Of
Luzon it goes to Hongkong by
cable. Another cable takes it to
Saigon, in Cochin. China, and
another carries it to Singapore.
Around the Malay peninsula it
goes by another cable to Penang,
an island on the west coast of Siam,
and from Penang to Madras.
Here 1t S ri ies the first laho tele-
graph live and crosses India to
Bomba Thence it goes under
the Arabian sea to Alden, under
the Red sea to Suez, by another
cable to Malta and still another
line takes it to a point in Portugal.
Fron there it is cable4 to Land $
End in England, crosses the
A tlantic ocean to the coast of
Nova Scotia and thence reaches
New York. 1t has Travelled IA, :

The circle at tte head of the
Official ballot was conceived for
the purpose of simplifying the
operation of voting 1t mas had
the opposite effect. In voting the
straight ticket it saved the ter a
Iittlo time and trouble. 1t seems
to have served no other good end
Many ballots have been invalidated
by ignorant use of the circle, and
the intention of the voter has been
defeated, not occasionally, but
frequently, BY complicating the
marking of the ballot the voter has
been confused, and election Judges
have been given an opportunity

A new Buffalo Bill book, "The Last
OF the Great Scouts" has just been
published. 1t is a story of the life OF
Colonel W. f. Cody WetmOre. One
instance spoken Of in the book recalls
Cody's kindness to the children of the
Soldiers Orphans Home when in
Atchison two years ago. The Wild
West show was in Boston, and the
parade passed children's hospital.
All who could ran to the windows,
but one little fellow, who was unable
to leave his bed, wrote letter in his
boyish way to Buffalo Bill, saying he
had always wanted to see real Indian
and expressed regret that he had been
unable to see the parade. As soon
as the letter reached Cody he sent a
half dozen Indians around to the
hospital and he had them do little
war dance.

About the rankeSt thing in maya
zine writing that has come out in the
past fifty years is an article in the
October Leslie'S Monthly under the
title women as Farmers" by W. R.
Draper. The opening paragraph says
that "Women who own and run their
farms, without any male assistance,
constitute 30 per cent of the farming
population OF Oklahoma and Kansas.
Women and girls who are now en-
gagged in farm work in Kansas con-
stitute 50 per cent Of the farming
population. This large percentage is
partly caused by the Twentieth Kan
sas volunteers 10 the Philippines"
Farther on the statement is made that
"the number Of women who work on
farms in Kansas will reach 5000, out
of 1900 farmers in the state" The
climax is reached later. At the be-
ginning of the article is picture of a
girl without any resemblance to any
one 10 Allen county, but under the
picture is the inscription: "MisS Ella
Funston, cousin OF Brigadier Gen.
eral Funston Of Kansas" And this
paragraph Of fancifulneSs follows:
Miss Ella Funston, cousin of Brlga.
der General Funston, who had
just graduated from college, came
home and volunteered to tend
Fred's farm while he went
to war. Now, Fred was not a farmer,
but he had little tract Of land in
Allen county near Carlyle, and this is
being cultivated by Miss Funston
with the aid Of a man during the
heavy season. Miss Funston is 20
years OLD and IS quite a 1aV0rlte IN
society. She is educated, and knows
her French as we'll as the proper dis
lance apart to plant corn hills. She
has sowed 40 acres of wheat, 30 acres
Of oats and 60 acres Of corn this year.
Fred says she can keep the proceeds,
since ne has done so well as an army
officer, She is the happiest girl in
Kansas today" Aside from the
statement that she is cultured and
popular and happy, the foregoing is
easily recognized as the widest kind
of fabrication on the part of the
writer, Fred owns no land here, Miss
Ella is his sister and she hasn't
farmed any this year or any other
year.-Iola Register.

this appeal to you. We have hit upon a

funds to do this. We have had printed
and is now ready for distribution,a hand
some little button marked "a. T."
meaning antitrust. We ask each loyal
citizen in the state to contribute to this
good work by sending one dollar to OR
secretary, W. T. Upton, 535 Everett
street, Kansas City, Kar., who on receipt
of same will mail to you ten OF these
buttons, you can dispose of them in nj
teen minutes at ten cents each and there
by have assisted your state committee IN
a financial way and been out but little or
money yourself. We think it would be
asking little of our vs;Crs to contribute
ten cents each to the campaign fund and
if they should do 81 it would raise
greater amount of funds than the party
ever handled before during a campaign.
Again in conclusion, we ask every
loyal citizen who loves good government
better than the kind we are having now,
to send to the address above given any
sum from fifty cents to one hundred dol
lars, as they see fit, and we will guaran-
tee upon our part that the money will BE-
in judicious manner and one
to further the interest of the
party and good government.
