A woman can hate what a man does.
yet love him for doing it.
There is nothing so humiliating to a wo-

A girl gets as much excitement out of an
engagement as man does out of a stock

Any woman would cheerfully wear shoes

Every wife has an idea that if she could

THOSE COBURN REPORTS.
Senate Passes the Bill for Bostage
Today.

After being the cause of more quib-
bling and dispute than any other bill
before the present senate the apprOpria-
tlen for sending out the thirteenth an
nual agricultural report was passed this
morning. The bin embOdies a compro-
mise of the dispute and apprOpriates S3,-
300 for postage, express and freight
Each senator is to receive 100 copies and
each representative so copies for his
personal distribution. These will be
freighted in bulk to be distributed from
the home of the member of the legisla-
ture. Farmers who want reports may
secure them by application to his repre-
sentative or senator. There are 10000
copies in all OF these half will be Civ
en- to the legislators. Applications for
most of the rest are on file with Secre-
tary Coburn. s@sA
The compromise bill is Senator Noftz-
gers and was adopted only as final
compromise for the disagreement over
the amount of the appropriation. The
original senate bill called for $4,000
which was cut to So 300 in the house
-Four conference committees worked on
the bill before the compromise was
agreed on. Secretary Coburn has not
committed himself in the disa greement
He says the reports viii be distributed
anyway and it is simply question of
whether the legislature wants to facii-
tate placing the books in the hands of
the people who really want them or not.
The opposition to the original appf0Df1-
alton is said to have come from Cyrus
Leland although friends of Mr.. Coburn
say that al the trouble has been arous-
ed by newspaper stories early in the
session. They say the appropriation was
originally cut down through a misap-
prehension on the part of ways and
means committee in the house and that
the anti-Ileland faction in the senate
has used the matter as thunder" to stir
up anti-Leland sentiment
