JUsTkA WOMAN.s WAY


At Topeka the other day Miss Hazel
AIulvane, daughter of q wealthy ply
stefan and member of one of the old
est and best families of the state,
eloped and married a ball player. She
was a leader in society and he has
been nothing more than a professional
ball player for years, and it is inti-
mated that he is connected more or
less directly with the joint business,
but this the man has the pride to deny.
There was nothing in common be-
tween Miss Mulvane and the man she
married-she was rich and he was
poor. She is a young woman scarcely
twenty years of age and he is years
her senior. Not an ambition, not sin
gle trait of character to attract them,
one to the other. So far apart We're
their lives that their courtship was
carried on eIandestinely, and not even
her nearest friend knew that she was
SO much as acquainted with the man.
Why did she do it? That is the ques-
ton that everyone is asking, but It
will not be answered satisfactorily
The question has been asked of the
daughters of Eve since our first moth
er ate the forbidden fruit in the

solution is not yet. It's a woman's way,

Haa tho Wasp AnectIon?

A colony of wasps made nest in the
dark room of a studio last summer At
first the party who used the room did
not relish their company-but for GER
tain reasons he did not modest them. He
paid no attention to the little buzzers,
and they came and went at their own
sweet Will.
After a time he began to study them
they were gradually becoming acquaint-
ed with him, his ways and his dark
room. One day a stranger was seated
on the window sill. The first wasp en-
tering the room paid no attention to
him, but made for the old crack in the
wall. Then out came big fat fellow
who darted through the open window
like bullet. Within five minutes half
a dozen Wasps came with a rush at the
stranger and two of them located him.
But the writer has never been touched
by his wasp colony.-The Outing Maya

me session OF congress which ended
with June was the most remarkable
session the present generation has
known. Laws establishing something
very like the principle of federal con-
troll over great corporations were pass
ed one after another. while the paid
lobbyists, who have SO long and SO sue
cessfully steered legislation in the in
terests Of their employers, looked on
mournfully or withdrew to the seclu-
sion of hotel cafes.
ITS no use" said one of these lob
byists to an acquaintance of mine.
You've got the people with you. We

can't last forever. Wen be back" Do

Undoubtedly congress has been. as a
certain very prominent man was heard
to say, ION the rum The pure food
bill, which has besn deliberately sn0th
cred in 10 or 16 sessions, was passed;
and an astonishingly drastic law it is
even more important, for it fairly
launches the country into the policy of
federal control over corporations. The
packing industry, as probably every
reader knows by this time, is to be
subjected to what promises to be a fair
" thorough inspection and regulation.
A fourth new law, which should not be
overlooked, is that reforming and re-

law does. away with fees, but it does not
provide for the promotion on the merit
system. The fifth new law, and the
last we shall dwell on here, is that re-
moving the internal revenue tax on
sdenatured" alcohol; that is. alcohol
which has been rendered unfit for use
as a beverage. The list is remarkable,
because every one of the really sound,
really wise, really honest laws was forced
through a reluctant congress. At one
time or another just about every de-
vice in the senator's and congressman
box of tricks was employed in the eff
fort to block the good legislation, or at
least to render it NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
