RIFLES THAT KILL.
Kansas Militia at Last Equipped With
Modern hrags.

Every member OF the Kansas na-
uonal guard is now equipped with a
krag rifle, the kind which sends a
bullet the size of a lead pencil with
sufficient velocity to kill at two miles.
This is the kind used by the regular
army soldiers.
Quartermaster General ". ". Deni-
son today turned in the last Of the
old Springfield rifles with which the
Kansas national guard has been equip
ped He received orders from the
quartermaster of the United States
army at Fort Riley to ship these guns
10 the arsenal at Rock Island, Ill, to-
gether with all 45-ca1iber ammunition
which the state has on hand.
IN compliance with the order, every
Springfield rife which the state has
been storing in the basement OF the
state house was packed into long
cofin-Hke rifle chests, and shipped
over the Rock Island. The consiEn-
ment OF guns and ammunition Weighe
Sc, 900 pounds. or Is tons.
There were a total of 1909 Spring
field rifles in the shipment When
these rifles were new, they were prob
ably worth SIS, 900. Some of them
have never been used except for firing
blank cartridges. and are consequently
about as good as new
The 45-caliber Springfield ammuni-
/ ton which was shipped to Rock
Island consisted of $4,000 rounds of
ball cartridges and 81, 600 rounds of
DA6nhS- ms ammunition was packed
in ammunition chests, each chest hold
ing 1000 rounds.
In exchange for the Springfield am
munition on hand, the state will get
the same amount, round for round, in
Krag ammunition. This Krag am
muniton is what viii be used, of
course, in the extensive target drill
which is now part OF the K. n. C.
training.
The Krag ammunition Will not be
stored in the state house long. It viii
be sent out to the various companies
throughout the state whenever they
apply for It. There will be a large de-
mand for the ammunition this spring
on account of the competitive shoot
ing to determine who will represent
the state at the national shoot to be
held at Sea Girt, n. J.
1t is claimed, however, that there is
no danger in the storing of cartridges
in the basement of the state house.
/ Charles Norton, who knows all about
ammunition, says:
Tests have been made which show
that fixed ammunition can be thrown
] into a fire and entirely burned up
without exploding. Up in Chicago a
small house was entirely filed with
I fixed ammunition, and set af1re. The
/ spectators stood around and watched
the building burn. and not a particle
/ Of trouble resulted. The test was
made to convince the fire department
and insurance agents that there was
no danger from storing large quanti-
/ ties of fixed ammunition in the city
/ wholesale stores

Madison, Wis, Jan. 26.-Gov. Robert
N. La Toilette was on Wednesday in the
joint legislative assembly elected Unit
ed States senator to succeed Joseph v.
Quarles. The governor received 1O1
votes out of 1913. The democratic con-
tingent gave their complimentary vote
to Martin L. Lueck and the social DEM
ocras voted for Victor l.. Berger. The
occasion was dramatic in the extreme.
In a carefully worded address, which the
governor read from manuscript, he ac-
knowledge the high honor and signified
his acceptance as response to the call
of duty, but said that unless the legis-
lature enacted into laws the measures
for which so. many contests have been
fought, he would tender back to them
the honor, and they would have to
choose some other man.

Perhaps one Of the severest of ETH
quettes in Japan is that of smiles.
When you have lived in that land of
smiles you will learn in time that
when you can understand a Japanese
smile you may hope to understand the
people. A daughter-in-law must al
ways present e smiling face to her
motherin-law; the servant must smile
when his mistress dismisses him. But
the news Of a death must be told with
laughter. Laughter is reserved for
very special occasions and has no re-
1ation to Joy. It may be called an ar.
and nature study combined. ss

Until 1887 there was no public tele.
phone service in Japan. The first city
systems were installed in Toxic and
Yokohama in 1890, and these were
followed shortly by others, until at
the end of 1901 there were 179 public
stations. with Is city systems and Is.
600 subscribers. At the same time 25.
600 other persons were demanding
telephone service. The telephone and
telegraph apparatus in Japan is of the
most modern type, as progress else
where is followed closely. In fact, there
is no line Of modern activity in which
the Japanese is outdone.
