twenty miles north of Marquette, where

ENoCH ARDEN UP TO DATE.

The modern version of "Enoch
Arden" as enacted locally this week
was somewhat different from that of
the late Mr.. Tennyson. Topeka s
Enoch Arden did not follow the part
through. He did not wait until he got
home and looked through the window
to discover that his former wife was
married again. In these days of the
rural telephone and other modern in
ventions. the news met him on the
road.
When the modern Enoch found that
the former partner of his joys and sor-
rows-with the latter probably in the
majority-had taken other matri-
monial vows during his absence, did
he silently steal away and leave her
to her new-found happiness? Not at
all. He was all the more eager to
get back to the bosom Of his family
and wreak vengeance on the individual
who had supplanted him.
But his wrath was unavailing, for
Mrs. Arden had not been true to the
4 late Mr.. Tennyson's ideal either. She
4 had taken no chances on Old Man
Arden's still being alive. When a
neighbor gentleman began to cast
| sleeps eyes in her direction she
{ WASH / sure WnGLneT she WAS the
| Widow Arden or not. So she hied her
self away to court and procured a di-
vorce for herself
A divorce is a handy thing to have
around under circumstances similar to
! those which surrounded the late Mrs.
Arden of Kansas. Therefore when
Enoeh showed up with blood in his
eye she sprung the divorce on him
and he wilted. There was nothing
left for him to do but to go Chase
Himself. in the language Of Young
America, and he did so.
This is the Enoch Arden of real life.
Alas! Such is the difference between
the real and the ideal.

THE ..KANsAs CYcIoNE-n

The newspapers will probably now
point to Kansas as the great cyclone
state" Talk of kansas cyclones" and
paragraphs referring to it viii probably
be prominent on editorial pages and in
news columns all over the country.
The fact that other states have suf-
fered more severely from such storms
than Kansas ever has. and that tor
nadoes are more frequent elsewhere
than in the Sunhower state, viii make
no difference. Kansas will get the
cyclone advertising just the same.
Kansas never had such a storm as the
one which did such havoc in St. Louis.
or the one which more recently swept
over st. Paul and Minneapolis Iowa
Texas and a number of other states
have also had worse storms than ever
visited Kansas.
But the Kansas storm is always D,av-
ed up. Two or three times in its his
tory the Sunfiower state has suffered
bad tornadoes. and there have been a
number OF minor ones, but they have
been no worse than those which occur
in other sections of the country every

as ''the cyclone stage"
