Leap Year and the Law.

If We only give them time, the mills Of justice operated in the numerous courts f the United States will grind every grist brought in by burdened humanity. The courts of Kansas, foI instance, are soon to fix with legal exacitude the. privileges which belong t1 unmarried women during and be- cause or leap year. If it is asked why a question of such importance has re- maiued sc long uncharted of syllabus, opinion and precedent, the ready answer is that this is the first oppor- tuulty he courts have had to give leap year its proper status in the sociologi- cal affairs of mankind.
 The facts which will be laid before the district court, and then, doubtless. tine supreme court-fCr issues Of such gravity will of course be carried to the court of last resort-are set forth in a breach Of promise suit brought by Maude Nj Burroughs of Chanute, against Sprague Lawrence of the same place. The plaintiff is aged 22; the defendant is 74. Mrs. Burrougs, who is a. d-yOrcee, according to the Chanute Tribune, occasionally called on the old gentleman. On one occasion she pre- pared a meal for him and he compli- mented her highly on her cooking "Wouldn't you like to have me cook for you all the time?" inquired the young woman coyIy. And, naturally, the old gentleman expressed a willing ness to have his table well served.
 Commenting on the affair. MT. Law renee says he was aware that women had certain privileges in leap year, but that he did not regard the conversation on that occasion as a proposal and an acceptance. Later he strenously de- G.cd the engagement when the young woman began to talk of marriage. He Was gallant enough about it, saying that the woman was ''iaboring under a misunderstanding" but he hatly re- fused il the end Go make her his wife.
 And ROW Kansas is to have a judi o.aI determination of the privileges of leap year. as well as of the binding effect of such a conversation as that recorded. ApIopos Cf this case, the Kansas City Journal notes that once before in Kansas there was a similar case, but it did not come to trial. Al bachelor in one of the towns attended an ice cream social given by the ladies of church. A genial old maid served
