PRAIsEs KANsAs GIRLs.

Never since Daniel Boone set foot IN
Kentucky has there been found a native
OF that commonwealth who would admit
that any other stare had the capacity TO
produce finer women or faster horses.
The record is broken now. Mr.. Bradley,
the new buyer at the stock yards for the
Nashville Packing company, is q born
KentucIan, and ne admits that he has
seen prettier girls in Wichita than ne
has ever seen before. He saws that
every other woman he has seen since
arriving in Wichita is a beauty.

Talk about ''Boxers." there was a fist
fight up near the yards last night that
threatened to become serious. Some men
were loading q car, and with them were
two boys. The boys got into q fist fight,
and It became so exciting that the men,
in taking sides, almost came to blows
themselves. It would have made a bad
fight If they had, for each of them had
q pitchfork in his hand.

A MAN OF LETTERS.
[From the washington Post.l

Down at one of the river resorts
near the bay" said the man with the
mine on the hotel veranda- He was in
conversation with an elderly, dignified-
looking man, whose face was somehow
familiar to me, although vaguely.
. Shake hands with Mr. So-and-so a
Washington man of letters said my
friend to me, nodding towards his com
panion, and I shook with the man
whose countenance was somewhat IA
n1i1iar to me.
:. Man of letters, eh?' I thought as I
looked him over Well. here's where
I've got to get on my mettle. suppose,
and talk about Cartha ginian history.
and Corean ceramics and the passing of
the feuda1 period, and stunts like that,
just to show this man of letters what a
dickens of a. bright cuss I am myself
when get my sleeves rolled up It's
about 10 to l that he'll collar me and
make me look like a Patago-fan plaster
if I make the 1ittlest kind OF a break
so I began to put 'em over for the
benefit of this man of letters He smiled
indulgently at me as I went along, but
he didn't heaye in many remarks him
self to speak of. except I guess that's
so, or, Yes, you're right there. think,
or, It's a matter that i haven't 1nves-
tigated as carefully as I should 1t
looked pretty easy then and went
right along and let him have all knew
without any further fear of a call-down
Ny neighbor seemed to be greatly en-
terta1ned over the WealIn OF information
I was unfolding, and / was med1tating
upon what a sin and a shame it was that
I hadn't been picked out as the head of
a college several years ago
Il was back in Washington two days
later I didn't go to the Office on the
morning after I got back, but sat
dawdling at my breakfast AS I sat at
the table in our basement dining room
there was a ring at our basement bell
and 1 went to the door. There stood
nv man of letters in a gray uniform.
He wore a broad grin as he handed me
my morning mail, and then remeTn-
bered how It was that this man OF let
ters' face was so familiar to me-
Come on, the bunch of you," con-
cluded the man with the sun-peeled
nose, I'm doing the buying.

LEFT TO RAILROADS.
Unless They Decide to Arbitrate
at Once Coal Miners VIII
Strike.

Indianapolis. Ind, Sept. 12--At noon
today John Mitchell, president Of the
United Mine Workers of America, made
his last official statement before de-
claring a general strike in the anthra-
cite coal region
Unless the railroad companies to
which he sent warning answer immedi-
ately and favor arbitration Mftchells
order to strike will be given to the
country tonight.
Up to this time Mitchell and the or
ganization have been trying to secure
a settlement with the managers of the
anthracite coal mines. The railroads
control Y per cent of the mining out
put, and as a last resort Mitchell has
appealed to the presidents of the rail-
roads, and says that he hopes this last
appeal will bring the railroad officials
TO a realization Of the real situation.
The warning was telegraphed to the
presidents of the following railroads:
Pennsylvania Railway company, Lee
nigh valley, Delaware & Hudson, Deia-
ware, Laekawanna and Western, Cen
