 Placing his hands on his lips. he blushcd and coughed slightly. as indi- eating that he spoke of it at all only because he felt it to be his duty.
 "Girls," he finally said. "I see that a ship loaded with pitch has shifted her cargo and gone to the bottom off Att lantic City"
 What's that to us?" chorused the mermaids. glancing up sharply from a game of bridge whist.

The latest acquisition to the Kansas
State Historical society is an almost
priceless relic in the form of a portion
Of a Ford's TheateT programme on which
are two drops of blood, which fell on it
from President Lincoln, as he was being
carried, wounded and bleeding, from the
theater in which he was assassinated.
The relic was given to the historical So

Kan. Mr.. Bancroft was in the theater

coin was killed, and was sitting in the
body Of the house when the crime was
committed. As President Lincoln was
being carried out he saw some Of the
blood drop from the dying man on a
torn portion of theater programme lying
in the aisle and picked it up and put It
in his pocket. In presenting the relic to
the society Mr.. Bancroft related the in
cidents of the manner in which he came
into possession of it. He also said:

The Army ordinance officers are not
yet ready TO try the monster 1G-inch gun
which has been under construction at the
Watervliet arsenal for a number OF
years, and which is the largest modern
gun to be manufactured in this country.
This weapon was ordered as an expert
ment, but since then a change has occur
red in the opinions Of the authorities as
10 what is the best type of weapon.
Large guns have gone out of date, so to
speak, and rapid fire guns of medium
calber are considered the most effective
and desirable. The sun of 100000 was
appropriated by Congress last year to
test this gun, but it is not ready for trial.
Owing to the fact that it is considered to
be more or less obsolete, work ON it has
been delayed in favor of more important
matters. 1t is understood that the last
of the breech hoops are now being put on,
and that the piece will be sent to Sandy
Hook for trial in a few months.

THOSE "BusINEsso woMEN.


A club Of business women
Existed In a town,
And everything was up TO date,
From high officials down.
The president was gracious,
As also was the vice;
7 he secretary was a peach;
The rest were extra nice.
Although they wildly chartered
Whene'er they CHANGED to meet,
At club headquarters, on car
Or in the crowded street.
They never failed to let you know
That they were business" This Is 50.
Yet when these business women
At luncheon came together
For 10. these girls a restaurant
Conducted in high feather
The milk, they said, was glorious,
The coffee was "a dream:"
The pie was "simply exquisite
And "splendid" was the cream.
The soup was cute" they murmured;
The pudding was divine
And yet they try to preach to rue,
These charming friends of mine.
That they are business" Yet / know
That nature never made them so.
