A suit in which only 80 cents is in
yolved is practically certain to find its
way to the United States supreme
court from Kansas City, Kan, aud it
is said that from monetary stand
point it will be the most insignificant
case ever submitted to that tribunal.
Mrs. P. H. Ludlum, of Kansas City,
came from Caldwell, Kan, to Kansas
City over the Rock Island, and did not
call for her baggage until three days
later. She found it in possession OF
the Union Depot Company with %
cents storage charges against 1t. she
paid the so cents under protest and
then sued the Rock Island to recover.
A jury in Judge Lewis court gave
her jud gment, but the Rock Island
company has instructed it's attorneys
to appeal the case and spare no ex-
pense in fighting it. even If it Is nee
esary to 90 to the supreme court. Mrs.

MISS ANTHONY'S WIT.
The Suffragist's Joke on Demo-
cratic County Committee.

Susan B. Anthony, the famous
woman suffrage leader, turned good
joke on the democratic county COM
mittee at Rochester, N. Y, few days
ago. A democratic canvasser called
at her house last week, and upon ask
ing who lived there was told rs. B.
Anthony" In response to the next
query the canvasser was told that S.
B. Anthony was a democrat. The
facts were so recorded in the canvass
book, and when the clerks at head
quarters began to check up the list
preparatory to sending out notices
calling upon democrats to be sure to
register on tn following Saturday,
or they could not vote, they found that
S. B. Anthony, a democrat, had not
registered. Accordingly a postal card
was sent to the name and address given
in the canvass book.
The appeal on the card was very ur-
gent, saying, among other things,
/ Ou are HOU ICE u bASSo JOu
register You cannot vote. TO register
YOU must apply in person to the board
of registry, etc, and ending with the
injunction. "Do not neglect this"
When Miss Anthony received the
postal card she could not resist the
opportunity to have a little fun al the
expense of the democratic committee
and score a point for equal suffrage
as well.
So she wrote this message on the
face of the postal card and returned it:
"In response to notice of this kind
in 1872 | did register, and later ]
voted. For this | was arrested, fined
800 and sent to Jail. You must ex'
cuse me if l decline to repreat this
experience.

He is said to have worked up the or

speeches to the women at some of the
