the KISS KILLERS.

"Have you read, asked Hiawatha,
"How the daffy legislators
Have been jumping onto kissin?
Have you seen the resolutions
Introduced by them to throttle
Or discourage osculation?
Years ago, when Ainnehaha
Was maiden fair and graceful,
| was often At the wigwam
OF her dad, the arrow maker,
And you bet your uncle Dudley
Just improved each shining moment
Like bee, slipped the honey
From hsr rosy lips, and never
Overlooked bet, that's certain!
"Now I'm growing old and hardened,
But have sweet recollections
OF the good old cosy corner
In tho arrow makers wigwam.
And don't begrudgs 20 others
What once Was very fond Of.
I'm not like those hoary headed
Senators who can no longer
Feel thrill Of exultation,
When their lips collide with others.
And who would therefore abolish
Osculation altogether.
Neveri Here's health 70 kissing!

Another Wonder Performed by
Means Of Electricity.
DR.. HutchisOn Has Secured
Miraculous Results.
HELPS DEAF TO SPEAK.
After Hearing Words Subjects
Of Experiments Repeat Them.
Deaf, Dumb and Blind Girl Hears
Herself Say Mama.

New York, March 14.-By means of
an invention of Miller Reese Hutchinson,
4 young Alabamaian. who was recently
decora ted by Queen Alexandra for his
efforts in behalf of the deaf. three chill
dren, deaf. dumb and blind. have been
enable to hear a pianist play Sousa
marches, a monograph repeat the
sounds and the sounds of their own
voices uttering the words mama,
papa" and hello in quavering child
ish treble
The experiments were made at the
laboratory of Mr.. Hutchinson and We're
witnessed by many persons.
The invention consists, primarily, of
a transmitter, an ear piece and a small
electric battery. By means of these in
struments sound is projected into the
ear in manner to simulate the audi
nothing to do with the action of these
Instruments. The penetrating quality
of the electric sound wave apparently
disregards the mechanism Of the outer
ear and affects the inner ear direct.
The first patient brought out to try
the effects of the invention was Orris
Benson, who is blind deaf and dumb.
A physician tried to make him hear in
various ways, but all his efforts were
vain. The little instrument was then
elapped on the lads ear. the current
switched on and Mr.. Huthison said in
an ordinary conversational tone papa"
The youth worked his fingers rapidly in
the sign language.
He says he can hear something, but
does not know what it is" remarked
Prof Van Tassell, who was in charge of
the children The current was made
stronger. The youths eyeballs were
raised and he smiled. Then he tried to
repeat the syllables and in a weird
treble cried shrilly .'pha-pah.s Noticing
that the patient was becoming quite ex-
cited over his novel experience, Mr..
Hutchinson suggested that one of the
girls be brought into the reception room.
She could not hear a sound no matter
how loud. right against her ear. but
when she had the ear piece of the In
strument fastened to her head and the
pianist at the end of the room began to
play a Sousa march her cheeks flushed
and her fingers beat time on a table.
Another girl born blind, deaf and dumb,
clapped her hands in ecstasy when she
heard her own voice say mama" and
reached out wistfully toward the piano
when the musician STOPPED playing and
the new harmonies died out of her ear,
but fingered in her memory.

THE MARLBOROUGH MONEY
Sale of Library and Pictures Brings
About ST, $4,000

The London Taller says it is usual for
the American people to write as if Blen-
helm had been almost rebuilt, with Van
derbnt money since the dukes marriage,
but there is not the slightest foundation
for the story. though it is sometimes re-
peated in the English press. to the great
chagrin Of the duke
No doubt the new Marlborough house in
Curzon street is raised upon foundation
of American dollars, but the old home of
the Churchills was renovated entirely with
Marlborough money. The sale Of the Sun
derland library and the Blenheim pictures
in the late dukes time brought in about
81, 5s5.0e0 in which the latter had only a
life interest. and which passed to the pres
emit duke when he came of age, four days
after the death of his father Shortly at
ter the new duke succeeded. over s1S50e0

it had been at any date since it was built.

The reorganization of the new Repub-

settled uD its financial affairs, turning
over about $265 of money not used up in

avoided an opportunity of lettering its
record by voting away about 500 of its
funds. The campaign assessment of Col.

NOW IT'S HISTORY.
Kansas Legislature Is Formally
Adjourned.

The legislature of 1903 passed into
history at 5 O'Clock on Friday. March
Is. People who believe in signs need
not hereafter fear because of any hap
pening on Friday, the thirteenth.
Speaker Pringle and four members of
the house were present when the house
adjourned, and Lieutenant Governor
Hanna and Senators Morehouse and
Noftzger adjourned the senate. The
house members who were present were
Daugherty, Leland, Hayden and Bill
lings.
During the afternoon Senator More
house from the senate and Mr. Daugh-
erty from the house waited on the gov
ernOr and put to him the formal ques-
ton inquiring if he had anything more
to communicate to the legislature. At
that time a few belated bills had yet to
be signed, and Governor Bailey said
that as soon as he had sent them up he
would have nothing further. So the
committee made out its report and
waited for the last message. The full
committee was composed of Senators
MorehOuse and Pestana and Represent
atives Daugherty, Leland and Hayden.
In the meantime the senate with
only one or two members present, had
passed a resolution fixing Monday at 10
O'Clock as the time for adjournment, but
the house members refused to concur.
They insisted on adjourning immediate
governor came in, and thus prying the
employees loose from the pay roll.
It was supposed that the miscellaneous
appropriation bill was the last one that
had to be signed, and that was COM
pleted and signed up by o'clock, but
on checking over his list Representative
Billings found that one bill, No. 277. had
been enrolled and signed by the officers
of both houses but not by the governor.
The enrolled copy could not be found
anywhere, so another copy was hastily
procured from the state printer and it
was signed up. Then on checking up
with the clerks in the house four other
bills which had passed both houses were
not found among the list of those re-
turned by the governor, so copies of
these had to be found and signed.
Mr.. Billings, as chairman of the en-
rolling committee in the house. has been
the busiest man in the legislator dur
ing the closing days of the session, as
! it is the duty of his committee to see
that every bill is correctly enrolled, that
is that the COPY printed by the state
printer for signing is exactly like the
copy as passed by the legislature, and
all this comparing has to be done by the
chairman of the committee and his
clerk.
When it became certain that every bill
had been checked in and returned by
the governor, the four members of the
house passed concurrent resolution
fixing 5 o'clock as the time for adjourn
ing sine die. This went over to the two
members of the senate and was con-
Cured in by them. It was then five
minutes of o'clock On the stroke of
Speaker Pringle said:
THE hour having arrived fixed by
resolution for the adjournment sine die
of the legislature the question is upon
that motion" The four members of the
house. three or four employees, Harry
Bone and a couple of newspaper men
all voted in the Affirmative
And that was the end

BAILEY TO HAVE GARDEN.
Governor Win Have Place to Dig at
Executive Mansion.


The legislature stayed so late Friday
evening before ad5ourning sine die that
Governor Bailey did not get away for
his visit to his farm until today. He
was getting restless to get back to the
soil. He wanted to put on his old boots
and go out and dig in the dirt
he intends to put in week WORKING
on his farm. He thinks that viii rest
him UP from the worry and work con-
nected with the legislature and putting
his stamp of approval on two OF three
hundred new laws.
When he gets back to Topeka he in
tends to start a garden patch IN the
back yard of the executive mansion he
is used to getting up at o 'clock IN the
morning and going out and DONG some
work before breakfast, and now spring
is here he gets hOmesick to keep II up.
So he proposes to start garden ana ne
will get uD and hoe it before breakfast
This proposition is the cause OF some
anxiety to Harry Bone. de IS afraid
the governor will go away at times ana
then the gubernatorial duty OF hoelng
the garden win devolve upon him. MI.
Bone is a lawyer and not a farmer. Inc
duty Of hOeing the gubernatorlal garden
does not appeal to him. He IS figuring
ON a way to transfer this duty to Judge
West as executive clerk but the way
has not yet appeared.
Another thing which Governor Bailey
is figuring on as sOon as spring opens Is
building a barn in the back yard OF the
executive mansion. He is used to nav
ing barn around. and it viii make him
feel more at home. One of the first
things he missed when he took up MS
abode in the executive mansion was the
barn and its accompanying live stock,
and he had an item of $4,000 inserted. in
the miscellaneous appropriation bill to
build this barn. The appropriation VIII
not be available until after July /, but
the governor says he viii give his note
if necessary in order to get the barn
right away.
When he gets his barn built he viii
get some live stock and begin to enjoy
himself In addition to hoeing the gar
den he can get out and curry the horses
and milk the cows before breakfast Ii
he gets more milk than is needed for

STUDENTS BURN TT.
The Laws Destroy a Building Used by
Engineers.

Lawrence. Kan. March 1.-THE sequel
70 the engineer and law rope pull which
occurred last Friday morning on the
campus, happened Friday afternoon. Some
time during the night the engineers moved
a small pine building which had been used
as tool shed by the w0rkmen on the new
museum building over upon the campus
and labeled it the new law building. Nari-
Gus inscriptions We're painted upon the
building and it was in a prominent posi-
ton to greet the law students and faculty
when they appeared upon the campus.
After a consultation the law students
decided chat the only way to dispose of the
structure was to burn it. A fire was start
ed in it and law student crawled upOn
the roof and dedicated it to Judge Green,
dean of the law school. while the smoke
curled up through the roof. The janitcrs
at once ran out to put out the fire, being
assisted by a few engineers in the attempt.
The laws kept kindling the fire afresh,
however. and finally after throwing kero-
sent over the boards they succeeded IN
getting it to burn in good shape. The law
students gathered up all the scraps of
boards and threw them upon the nre. SO
nothing escaped. The whole affair oecu-
pied only about half an hour and the con-
testing schools went TO chapel. Chancellor
Strong said that he hoped that this would
be the last encounter OF. the kind and he
was greeted with applause, The students
like the course taken by the chancellor re-
garding the student escapades and viii
probably not bring about any more clashes.
