A Kansas legislator is before the as
nit matrimonial contracts for stated
period. In other words, to furnish a
sort of matrimonial coupon bond
whereof the high contracting parties
may tear off one, two or ten years as
seems to them best. 1t seems that such
legislation should have originated in
New Yory or South Dakota. No Won
der Kanas bled.

what is there in the governorship
that turns mems heads?" excitedly In
quires the Des Moines Capital. LATE
should feel free to give expert evidence
along the line without asking extran-

| The newspapers which are objecting
to considering logical candidates for
governor because the election is a year
and a half away, evidently believe in
short courtships. 1t is eminently the

employed in an Office must be con-
sidered as actually working This is

| A story is told by a London paper Of
a cabman who recently lost his voice
when q man was brazen enough to pay
him only the legal fare, without the
customary tip. The cabby looked at
the coin in the palm of his hand, and
tried hard to summon up words capable

this his language completely failed
him. Finally q neighboring cabman
came to his relief: Lave him to God.
Mike" he said; "lave him to Cod"
