New Issue for Kansas.

In Kansas a new issue has pro-
jected itself on the public. A new
head of the state university just ar
rived from the east has tried to make
the professors wear caps and gowns
during class work, with the result Of
evoking SCOTS from students and con-
resolutions from politi-
clans. Eastern contemporaries are
on the narrowness Of
fighting against caps and gowns. but
q word or two might be said on the
narrownes of fighting to introduce
them where they are not wanted

elected to honorary membership in
the fire patrol of North Tarrytown,
N. Y. When he received the official
document notifying him of the honor
conferred the multimillionaire came

What He Had Not Noticed

One of a family of girls renowned
for their ready wit had occasion to
cross Broadway with her brother, says
the New York Times. Just in front
OF them was very pretty girl, hold
ing her skirts, well, rather high, there
by displaying a bewitching foot and
ankle. The brother turned to his sis
ter and said: II sincerely hope that
when you cross the street you hold
your skirts less high. It's simply dis.
gushing" The girl smiled a wee
smile. I'll bet you cannot tell me
what kind of a hat she has on!" she
answered. Needless to say, the broth
>er has given no further advice.
