And ANA leaned upon her plow

And one suspender dangled down;
| Her neither garb was not skirt.
And her face and neck and arms were
brown.
| Her boots were cowhide. soaked with oil,
Bu- suited well 70 raising crops,
And to avoid the furrow soil
Her overalls were IN their tops.

WAITING For HIS HorsE.

One Of the funniest sights seen by
Wichita gentleman while attending the in
auguration OF Governor Stanley in To-
peka last week, was Witnessed at night on
one of the principal streets while the gem
tleman was going to his hotel from little
dinner party, in which he happened 70 be
one of the invited guests. The person
tells the story as follows: 'I was walk
ing on one of The main thoroughfares
when 1 discovered man with his arms
around a telegraph pole and a good ma
tured policeman trying to persuade the To-
peka man to let go his hold on the pole
and make tracks for his home But that
did not seem to be his intention or the
thought foremost in his mind, as he turned
to the policeman and said: Say. mister
policeman. 1 know my business best You
see all those houses going along over
there (pointing to the buildings on the
opposite side of the street,. The policeman
thinking he could accomplish more by
agreeing with his insoriate friend. replied:
Yes We'll said the man of late hours.

Every department of the Eagle estah-
lishment was visited by her each day, and
she was familiar with every nook and cor
ner. Then all of sudden she disappeared.
For some days prior TO her departure, she
refused TO eat, even fried oysters falling
TO interest her. Occasionally she would
be found with her head buried in the
psste-pot Of the mailing clerk, and seemed
to relish this delicacy especially. But she
left. Two nights ago, to the establishment
of those who had mourned, she sedate!v

she came and how she had reached the

absence. she failed to explain. But as
though she had been absent only an hour,
she walked deliberately to the city editor s
desk and proceeded al once to assume her
wOnted posture and poise. and gaze in
tently at the proof-sheets on the hook.
Proof had returned and, like Poe's raven,
stalked in as naturally as though only alb

FITZPATRICK IS THE WINNER.
The School Principal Reinstated and
Gets His Back Salary.

The appeal case of E. c. Fitzpatrick
against the Board of Education was dis
missed yesterday by the Supreme Court
Since the beginning of this year this mat
ter has really been a dead issue. 1t will
be remembered that over year ago the
old Board of Education had a serious diff
Guilty with the principal of the Business
Evening School over remarks that the
gentleman had made rejecting upon the
integrity of some of the members. The
board decided that there was but one
thing to do and that was to discipline the
too laxative fitzpatrick, the suppoSition
being that If he were not corrected others
might also become free of speech and
state some facts that would not renect
credit if maze public. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
would not eat humble pie worth a cent.
and reiterated the offensive statements
that some members of the Board of Edu-
cation had sold positions to teachers. and
that $500 was the ordinary price for d
place in the School Department.
for this he was dismissed, the charge
being neutrality-suspicious. conduct. XII
patrick refused to accept this as final and
secure his regular monthly pay and to
compel the board to reinstate him in his
old position. In the lower court Judge
Hunt decided in his favor on both points,
but the Board of Education was dissatis-
fed and appealed the case to the higher
court In the slow order of things there
the case finally came up, and by this time
the old board being out of office the new
board concluded that there was nothing
to dismissal of the appeal, which really
is a victory for fitzpatrick, who will be re-
instated and get his back salary for a
wear or more.

WITH A JOKER

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 20.-Assemblyman Valen-
tine of Los Angeles introduced in the AS
sembly to-day bill which doubtless
every railroad in the State will take
pleasure in backing. 1t amends section
456 of the Civil Code so that railroad cor
perations may mortgage and remortgage
their properties so long as any one can
be found to loan money on successive
bond issues. 1t throws off the present
limitation that bonds may be issued only
to the extent of a railroads capitaliza-
ton and makes it possible for any road
or combination of roads to keep transpor-
tation charges up to the top notch in spite
of the Railroad Commission. 1t accom-
to mortgage and remortgage, the accru-
ing interest to stand as a fixed charge
against the company. AS the Railroad
Commission cannot reduce fares TO a rate
so low that the interest pro rata cannot
be met. the little joker in Mr.. Valentines
bill is seemingly apparent.

bill cut it out, was attached the follow
Ing clause:
1.-THE amount of bonds or promissory
notes issued for such purposes must not
