One morning when he was smuggling" in her bed he put his plump little arms around her neck and said: "Gramma. I'll tell you a big seauit if you won't ever tell anybody in all the world"

 ''Well, gramma, some day I'm going to get married to-you can't guess who."
 NO, I'm afraid l cannot

 When a woman has a good figure it is a sign she knows people talk about it.

Nelson a "big slob.'' he has nothing to say against the referee and feels sure that he could not whip Nelson under any circumstances. Now. it is time for us to sit up and take notice when the pugi- lists begin this kind of conversation. At one sweep the cherished ethics of the prize ring are laid in the dust by Young Corbett." Either the gentleman is too good for the profession or he is in ad- vance of his time. It is rumored that he has determined to retire. Let us hope that he will get nice genteel job in grocery store where his amiable and ad- mirable qualities will have a chance to shine.
 Robert c. Mo erron of Bon Avon, Pa, has left provision in his will for a "calamity fund" which makes MT. Car negies hero fund appear quite common place in comparison. When MT. McFer- ron died he left behind an estate worth about one million dollars which he had no use for after his demise Two sisters and a brother of the deceased will have to die next and then the "calamitv fund" will become operative. It is pro- posed to use the money in relieving cases of suffering resulting from such calami- ties as fire. flood, tempests. explosions and epidemic diseases, which call for prompt succor. The philanthropy is unique to say the least, and shows that Andrew Carnegie has no option on origi- nal methods for being charitable.
 Oklahomans are waxing facetious over the clause in tho statehood bill which for- bids the sale of spirituous liquors in the new state for a period of 21 years.

 The opposing array of female suffragists marched on the Illinois legislature to help the equal suffragist bill The Sem ate recommended that "women and fe- males should be at home taking care of the house, and raising babies. as provided by Roosevelt's special message and Wag- ner's Simple Life" Senator Bartley is accused of making the move to insert this amendment to the bill and Senator Cun- ningham Is charged with giving 1t a sec- ond. The wise and beneficient sugges- tion conveyed .n this amendment shows that the Illilois legislators deserve the hackneyed title of "Solons."

WILL HE Retire 3?
New Story That Paul Morton
viii Retire.
Declared That Displeased Santa
Fe Stockholders Would
FORCE HIM OUT
And Make Him Pay Them $780,
100000 For
Rebates Alleged He Granted to
Himself.

The Kansas City Journal controlled
by a director of the Santa Fe n likely
to reflect the views taken by the com
pany, in situations relating to traffic
affairs publishes the following remark
able dispatch from it's Washington cor
respondent:
Secretary Morton is about to resign,
according to report. In his place it is
claimed Henry c. Frick Will be ap-
pointed.
There is talk that Morton is being
forced out by suits threatened to force
him to pay back to the Santa Fe the
rebates amounting to $1,500,000 given
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
Some OF the Santa Fe stockholders are
not pleased over the loss of the money.
Especially are they irritated over the
item when they recall that Paul Morton
and Jay Morton are big holders in the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company. In
other words, the Santa Fe did the work
and Morton gave a rebate to himself
and brother. This situation is annoy
ing to the community of interests with
stock in all the roads. They naturally
will get the pay for freight, no matter
which road handles 1t. This double ire
from shareholders and community OF
interests is causing some nervousness
and is associated with the resignation
talk.
Henry c. Prick is to succeed Morton.
He is deeply involved in the community
of interests his life experience with
