HER ASPIRATIONS.
A Kansas Girl Who Took a Practical
View of Educational
Advantages.

There was little of the idealistic about the
essay of Kansas girl at her recent gradua-
ton Her teacher had given her for theme
the phrase: Beyond the Alps Lies Italy"
She astonished her preceptreSs and school.
mates by these emphatic words:
81 do not care a cent whether Italy lies
beyond the Alps or even in Missouri. / do
not expect to set the river on fire With my
future career. l am glad have good, very
good education, but | am not going to mis-
use it by writing poetry or essa.s about the
future woman. 1t will enable me to correct
the grammar of any lover may have, should
he speak of dorgs' in my presence, or say
he went somewhere. 1t will also come
handy when | want TO figure out how many
pounds of soap woman can get for three
dozen eggs at the grocery. So / do not be-
grudge the time | have spent in acquiring
it. But my ambitions do not fly so high.
Just want to marry man who can lick any,
body of his weight in the township, who can
run an S0-acre farm and who has no fe-
male relatives to come around and try to
boss the ranch. And | will agree to cook
good dinners for him that won't send him to
an early grave and lavish upon him whole
lot of wholesome affection and see that his
razor hasn't been used to cut broom wire
when he wants to shave. In view of all this
| don't care if | do get little rusty on the
rule of three and kindred things as the years
go by.'-Chicago Chronicle.

Unable to Pronounce 1t.

The neighbors of certain well-known
Memphis Irish family say that the good
housewife and her lord never know what
domestic discord is except when the old man
goes home slightly in his cups. Then there
is fire and tow and she says she has con
sistently tried for a score of years to get
FMoike to quit it." The storms, according
to the story, have grown less violent of late
years, and for that matter the tipsy periods
of "Moike" are not of such frequent recur-
renee as formerly; Not long ago, so the
story goes, the old man went home pretty

1t is encouraging to note that 4 re-
newed attempt will be made to enact
and enforce a closure rule in the ma
tional Senate. It has long been held
by the country at large that intermin-
able debate in that body is nuisance,
a waste of public time that should not
be tolerated. But senatorial tradi-
tons are strong and the proverbial
courtesy of that body has prevented a
change Of the rules 50 that debate
could be shut off when it reached a fill
clustering stage. The stoppage of use
less talk by the application of the pre-
vious question is accomplished in the
House and in the English Parliament
but the Senate clings to the old style
and public business suffers in conse-
quence. 1t is only a question Of time
when the Senate will make the needed
reform. The pressure Of public senti-

Candidate Bryan and Ex-Governor
Hogg, is good enough to be true, any
way. 1t is very considerate of Bryan
to give the Democratic donkey a rest.
He has ridden the poor beast nearly to
death. Moreover, the Nebraskan
statesman has several points in COM
mon with the ostrich. The bird hides
it's head in the sand and thinks that it
is unseen: Bryan covers his ears and
declares that the hum of industry can
not be heard; he shuts his eyes and
says there is only darkness in the
