one of Dinah's Surprises.

A Baltimore woman recently secured an
old and typical southern cook named Dinah,
whose unfamiliarity with city ways and
her questions were constant source OF
amusement to the family.
One morning shortly after she arrived
the door bell rang and Dinah answered it
as usual In a minute she came back with
a surprised expression. ''Missus," she ex.
claimed, der am man dere what wants
"a cents for de Sun" Mrs JUST gave her
the money and she returned to the door.
After the man had gone Dinah asked;
"Does you hab to pay for de sunshine here,

In the District Court.

Two cases were filed Wednesday
evening in the district court that are
rather out of the ordinary.
Katherine Pens, of Humboldt, sues
G. H. Pratt for 800. 1t seems that
Pratt got a judgment against Henry
Pens and levied on 100 bushels of on
ions which Katherine Pens had at her
house and claims are hers. The onions
she says are worth 81 bushel and as
she does not think herself liable for
the debts of Henry Pens she wants the
money returned.
r. d. Pangburn, an old man who
came here from Indiana last year, sues
his daughter and her husband, Isa-
bella and James Harvey, for $400. He
says he lived in Indiana, had $500 in
cash, his daughter persuaded him to
come and live with her, that later she
advised him to send for $400 Of, his
money and invest it, she agreeing to
care for him the rest of his days. He
got the money, his children bought a
lot in Gas City and built a house on
it and put allin the name of his daugh-
ter and tell him he has no interest in
it. He wants the deed put in his
name.

Ft. Scott Wants In.

FIT. Scott Tribune: lola is to have
an electric street railway, connecting
with the little towns this side. This
railway may be the starter for the
first "long distance" street railway
into Fort Scott. For several years
there has been talk of street railway
connecting some of the smaller towns
around Fort Scott with this city and
if the country keeps on developing it
is a matter of but a short time until
nearly all the towns around here will
be connected by street cars as they
are further east. lola is to furnish
power for the new street car system
for 1925 per month.

Another Deserter Arrested.

The married man, like the soldier,
cannot leave the firing line, miss roll
call, meals or taps or snooze while
on picket duty without being censured,
and is likely to be dubbed a deserter.
Frank Oliver Is another lola man who
thought the earth large enough for
him to leave his wife and child and
never be found out by that ll-penetra-
ting instinct, OF which it is written
hell hath no fury like a woman
scorned." He left last November af-
ter two years of welded life and was
arrested Wednesday in Kansas City,
Kansas, where his wife had located
him some time ago. She says he had
another woman, which didn't help
his stand-in with her. Hobart returned
from Topeka last night, where he took
Mr.. Gascom, the crazy man, and COB
bled up Oliver on theway. The Judge
placed his bond at 5000 and set his
trial for Tuesday the 18th on the
charge of desertion and failure to
support.
Mr.. Oliver appeared in justice court
Last Friday and pleaded guilty to
the charge of abandonment. He was
given thirty days in the county jail,
to remain there until the costs, $3s,
are paid. And when he gets out, if
he leaves again, or refuses to support
his wife, she can bring inst as many
actions as he makes escapes.

II Is significant that some OF the most
ardent supporters Of our colonial system
now recognize and deplore the democrat
izing conditions which have resulted
from the military occupation Of the
Philippines. Senator Lodge OF Massa-
chusetts, in the debate on the canteen
amendment said he was convinced
that the saloon had done incalculable
harm 20 the FilipnOs, Recently the
civilized nations of the world entered
upon an agreement prohibiting the sale
of liquor 20 the savage peoples Of Az
rica. Mr.. Lodge is evidently Of the
opinion that the prohibition should be
extended TO the Philippines and has
introduced an amendment TO the army
bill forbidding the importation OF dis
titled liquors into the archipelago ex-
cept for medical purposes. 1t 4 a well
known fact that before American
troops were sent to the Philippines the
natives were exceptionally temperate.
