KANSAS FARMERS WIVES.
ments Tint Were Undreamed
OF n Few Years Ago.

One having access to the Kansas
newspapers cannot have failed to note
the unusual number of marriages
which took place during the holiday
season. 1t has been said that the office
of the probate judge contains the ba-
rometer of ma terial conditions in every
county. What we know for sure is
that young folks usually consult their
pocketbooks in making arrangements
for marriage, and that in good times
these matings are much more frequent.
says the Kansas City (AIo.) Journal
Those who have gone little deeper
into the suject than mere mathemat-
zeal calculation must also have noticeG

tice of farmer couple in Kansas
would, nine times out of ten, have men
toned approvingly that the bride was
a master hand at butter, or she was one
of the most successful raisers of poul-
try in the township, or that she 'spos--
sessed those habits of industry which
fitted her to be a farmers wife" Now
an equal proportion of such notices
will recite that the bride is fine mu-
stefan, that she is a graduate of such
and such an institution; that she won
a prize in elocution, or that she was
noted among her associates for pro--
ficiency in some of the arts.
And the difference in these notices
makes the vast gulf which has opened
between the past and the present with
respect to farm life, no doubt to- the
uneasiness of those who fear that The
rugged industry once considered es--
sential in successful agriculture has
taken its departure. Yet there are
those on the other side who cheerfully
accept the belief that woman who
can play the piano may be quite as
much of helpmate to the farme~ .

methods, particularly modern machin-
cry, have revolutionized the business
of agriculture and il no longer requires
the man-killing, get-up-at-three-

formerly was the price of success. And
this revolution has come as much to-
the farmers wife as to the farmer. Sd

Where to Guard Yourself.

Endeavor to ascertain what is tina,
particular defect of temper into which
you are the most liable to fall, and
make point of setting strong guard
over yourself in that particular. Let
this idea be kept ever present in your
mind: "At some weak part of my
nature all the miseries of life may en-
ter" This will probably be found a
hard service, but the necessity of the
case obliges you to render it. You
have the choice of but two things-you
must be necessarily vigilant and self
denying here, or suffer every delight to
be torn from you.-Success.

Bees as War Messenger..

From Russia comes suggestion tor
the effect that honey bees should be-
tried as military messengers in place
of homing pigeons. 1t is urged that
for such purposes they would be-
preferable to birds in more than one
way, inasmuch as they could hardly
be intercepted, and it would certain-

skillful marksman to hit such a carr

There was once kindly Emperor.
who ruled over kingdom not far
from the land of Somewhere; no near,
indeed, that it reflected all the pos
sibilities--and the impossibilites- of
the land of Somewhere.
And certain man, who wanted to
be Foolkiller, applied to the EN-
peror for job, says Puck.
Not having any pull at court and
being unacquainted even with Nor
gan and his crew of merry men, he
was obliged to apply in person.
"1our Majesty" he began, sit is
bad taste in me, know, to begin by
throwing wet blankets over the pres
ent incumbent. who draws the Fool
killers salary, but he isn't up to his
job. He sits around and smokes Gig
arettes most of the time, and has no
realizing sense of what is going on.

'You mean," said the Emperor, ito

that exist"
PRECISELY" said the applicant for
the new job. "When I look around
me and think of the work to be done,
it makes me CULVER and ache. The
first thing l would do would be to get
line on all the historical novelists
in the kingdom. I'd put 'em on a
raft aud set 'em adrift. Then I'd go
for the automobiles. I'd get a
train of automobiles, put 'em all in
it, and start it out of the kingdom at
so miles an hour. Maybe l wouldn' t
have fun with them! But, here, look
at this list!"
The Emperor put on his glasses
and scanned the list, which was as
follows:
The Society Push-all of 'em to a
man and woman.
The foreign lecturer.
The woman who has fads.
The young girl who reads novels.
The clergyman who cries "war!"
Senators and congressman.
After dinner speakers.
Authors who read their own
works.
Multimillionaires.
Trolley car motormen and conduct
ors.
Doctors who operate.
And there are others.
The Emperor folded up the paper,
showed his teeth grimly, and ordered
the royal bouncer to get ready tor

marked, with sinister smile, "wasn't
so ALFRED lazy, I'd have him operate
