Idealixins Kitchen Work.

The possibility of idealizing what is
known as kitchen-work is quite FEAST
BILE. The first step in the right di-
rection is to do this necessary rou-
tine work in a bright, cheerful spirit,
and pleasure will come, if only from
the consciousness that the best has
been done. In selecting what we
would do few of us perhaps would
choose to do anything keeping us in
a kitchen; yet to-day it has more
possibilities for the wage-earning
woman than almost any other; I
mean for the woman of average capa-
bilities. and especially for one with
domestic instincts. And if one is Of
an artistic temperament, the keeping
of well-ordered kitchen will not fall
below any other employment. There
are SO many outlets for ones tastes
and talents in the connecting and
serving of pretty and wholesome
meals.-Mary Graham, in Woman's
Home Companion.

HIS couRTsH1p WAS BRIEF.


One day lately a little South side
widow called upon real estate man
who has charge of some of her prop
srty. They engaged in some earnest
conversation relating to business mat
tiers. The widows telephone rang the
next morning, and the real estate man
said that another call at his Office
would be necessary. In the course of
the second visit a jest or two interrupt
ed the talk On rentals and taxes. The
widow has a gay little laugh, and it
sounded like music to the weary ears
of the man. He asked if he might not
bring certain facts which he would
CLEAN during the next "a hours to her
personally. In other words, he wanted
to call, and, being good-natured body,
the widow said he might, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
"And this is how he did it," the widow
explained afterward. "T certainly am
in love with you,' he said. When you
came into the Office said to myself:

She would be an ornament to my
house." Now am going to go at this

and societies must go, for 1 must be
all. 1 want to marry you tomorrow
Any time after. ten a. m. will suit. me-
What do you say? Here's my hand. Is
it go?'"
The astonished woman replied:
"Why, don't know YOU
"'Oh, that's all right: don't let a
little thing like that stand in the way
the man said. You just come down to
my Office tomorrow morning. I'll take
you over to the bank, then I'll intro
duce you to some of my friends. That's
no trouble. Will you be there?'
"'Why, the very ideal" said she. NO
'Then he was very indignant and felt
,e wasn't appreciated.
That's like woman he growled.
Never knows when she's got good

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.

Hopes to Solve Irrigation Problem.
More than usual interest attaches to
the bill which was introduced in the
house by Congressman Reeder, of
Kansas, providing an appropriation of
$S5,O00 for the work of investigating
the practicability of sinking artesian
wells in the arid regions of Kansas to
be used for irrigation purposes. The
region which he wants to improve in
clndes almost the whole western third
OF Kansas. or about 40 counties.
he says in the past two or three years
the crops which have been raised there
have been in a large measure salts
factory, but they did not begin to
reach the proportion which they
would have reached had there been
more water available. The wells
which he wants sunk should go to a
depth of from 1000 to 1000 feet, he
says. Wells which have nA@ sunk to
q depth of 1000 feet have sent up salt
water, but he believes that the great
er depth will yield a desirable quail
ty of water and prevent distressing
and disastrous droughts,

The New Supreme Court.

xn0 NOW supreme Court
Gov. Stanley announced the ap-
pointment of the four new supreme
court judges provided for by the con-
stitutional amendment adopted at the
recent election. They are: J. C. Pol
lock, of Winfield; A. L. Green. of New
ton; A. II. Ellis, of Beloit, and E. w.
Cunningham, of Emporia. The strife
between Mcfarland and WeIch, the
Topeka aspirants. forced the governor
to go outside of Topeka to make up
his list. The court will be separated
into two divisions, as provided by
the constitutional amendment. It is
thought that Justice Johnston will
preside over one division and Justice
Smith over the other. Judge Doster
will continue as chief justice until the
expiration of his present term and
he will then be succeeded by Justice
Johnston, in accordance with the pro-
vision which makes the oldest Judge
in point of service chief justice.
To Revive . Kansas Industry.
In paper on the manufacture of
table strip from sorghum, read be-
fore the Kansas state board of agri-
culture, A. A. Denton, of Medicine
Lodge, foreshadowed the large possi-
bilities of revived industry in Kan
sas. Mr.. Denton's paper was written
to stimulate attempts to make pure
sorghum strip. If it could be made
pure, he stated, it would become a
greater industry than the making of
sugar sirup in the southern states.
He said that Kansas offered great
chance for sorghum-sirup making,
because is was especially adapted for
sorghum growing.

Senator Simons, of Sumner county,
introduced a bill to give the state a
right to take change of venue in

vides that criminal case must be
tried in the county or district in which
the crime was committed. Some dis
tricts take in several counties. The
precedent has been established that
the case must be tried in the county.
This bill gives the state a right to
a change of venue to another county
in the same district.

coarse hair than feathers. and emu
