I hope it was with a worthy girl,
said the woman from Kansas.
1 presume it was with an actress,
added the widow. I have read and
heard that they are always on the look
out for young men with money.
g 1t was no actress I replied with a
sigh. She was the daughter of a
butcher. 1t was a butcher who bought
pork of my father and made It into
sausages and, though he wasn't rich. 1
felt that he was just as good as we
We're. 1t was all pork, you see, whether
in the barrel or made into sausages.
Claudine was grinding up sausage meat
the first time I saw her and I stood
entranced. It wasn't two minutes be-
fore I made up my mind TO have her
for a wife. Two weeks later she said
she'd be mine II her father would con-
sent. I went to him, and he said that
If my father would give him a 10 per
cent. reduction on sausage meat Claud-
Inc should be mine. From him 1 went
to my father and told him all
And I'll just bet that he kicked
the bucket over said the woman from
Kansas.
q That's what he did. lady He rose
up in fury and said that he would rath-
er see me buried alive than wed to the
daughter of a sausag e-maker. I tried
to make him see that there was no DIFF
ference between pork and pork sau-
sage, but he was like a mailman. also
told him that I would we'd Claudfne in
spite of all. and when he threatened
to cut me of with a shilling, I told
him to cut and be hanged
That was proper spirit said the
widow. If a man was in love with me
I should want him to defy all opposi-
ton. What was the outcome
:" Why, Claudine sold me out. For
$50, 900 in cash she married the village
cooper and set him up in new shop
Yes, my father bribed her to throw me
over and leave me heart-broken. Be

my heart I had tried suicide five diff

of her sister. I'll bet you didn't have
such things as this happen in Kansas.

and Arizona. Under a law passed by
the Oklahoma legislature the railroads
are allowed to condemn a right Of way
,'cross such land, paying the damages
assessed to the territory
1t has always been a question as to
whether the territory was authorized to
grant such d right. as the title to the
school lands is really in the federal
government, and it has been cOnsid-
cred possible that the United States, if
it so desired, could set aside such pro-
ceedings, leaving the railroads nothing
at all In return for the payments which
they have made to the territorial gov
eminent The pending bill is intended
merely to fOrestau the possibility Of
any such action.
The Orient and some of the more re-
Gently constructed roads have not yet
made full settlement with the terri
tory regarding their right of way
across school lands. but as the lines are
not yet fully in operation it is not sup
posed that the new bill would affect
them. There are also four cases now
pending in the courts. two where the
railroads thought the condemnation
price was too high and two where the
territory thought it too low.
