Martha Hunt, aged los years, of
Salina, Kansas, has made application
for divorce from her husband, whom
she charges with cruelty. She says
that in 1898, when she was 81 years
old, she could stand his treatment no
longer and "kicked him out.' In all
probability the vigorous Martha, who
AYERS that single blessedness has no
charms for her, will, should she secure
a divorce, proceed to hunt up another

Fred Manke HOrnswOggled.

The old saw anent buying pig in
sack was practically demonstrated
last week with the exception that
sugar beets we're substituted for the
proverbial porker. According to a
story told by Willard Howard, Fred
Manke purchased a load of what he
supposed to be Triumphs. The seller
told him they were Triumphs and
Fred took his word for it without
looking into the sacks. When Fred
arrived at his warehouse he found to
his chagrin that load of sugar beets
had been deposited there. Brim-
stoneous fumes Immediately CON-
menced to mix themselves up with the
atmosphere and under the circuit
stances Fred was fully justified IL
emitting them. He made a bee line
for town and eventually succeeded in
overhauling the base deceiver and
compelling him to remove the beets.

Washington is painted by this investi-

France has disgraced itself in the
eyes Of all nations by the indignities
to which it is subjecting it's clergy.
The separation of church and state is
one thing and the manner in which it
is effected another. To bring about
this separation it was absolutely un-
necessary to invade the homes of the
priests and sisters of mercy and expel
these people by force, and it would
have served the ruffianly officers who
commanded their men to perform such
Infamous work but right had the popu-
lace torn them to pieces France
seems to be sowing the seeds for an
other revolution.

Poachers are fast killing off the elk
in Yellowstone park, says a dispatch.
The animals are being slaughtered
solely for their eye teeth and horns.
These teeth, which are now becoming
scarce, fetch big prices from members
of the Elk fraternity, who weannthem
as emblems of the order after they are
mounted as watch charms or scarf
pins. The horns are used in Elk
lodges. One might infer from this de-
struction of elk that the government
gamewardens are equally as vigilant

is the rule the government has adopted
for the rural free delivery service.
Local authorities must keep the ways

communication which brings farm
