Fall snake stories are now being
told in the state press. A Chanute
paper tells this one: J. ii. Wyatt
and his son, Newt, aged Is, killed 81
snakes last week while blowing up a
30 acre tract. Thirty acres of the
land had not been plowed for years.
The snakes were of most all Kansas
breeds from the rattlers to common
eye cry day garters and racers.
A certain Kansas boy at school was
called up by the teacher relates
Charley Sessions, and asked what ex-
cuse he had for placing a bent pin on
the seat that was afterward occupied
for about half a second by fellow
pupil. 81 was just trying to Eput in
practice the lesson you taught yester-
day." said the boy. ''You said that
we should never miss an opportunity
to help others rise.''
Kansas story going the rounds:
The wife of a farmer had sister come
from Chicago to make visit. One
day last week the threshers came and
the guest insisted on doing the work
alone and sent her sister away to rest.
When twenty-seven threshers filed
in to supper that night they found
sandwich tied with ribbon, one
chicken croquette, one cheese ball the
size of marble and a buUtonhole
boquet at each plate.

Philadelphia Jan 3l.-John c. Bell a member OF

the committee before the game will meet with the
approval OF those who have the necessity or

aim OF the rules committee 10 open up the game
and discourage mass plays. but Mr.. Bell does not
think that the changes agreed will accomplish
the desired result without some further modinca-
tons.
After carefully reviewing the proposed changes,
he points that the attack has been weakened
instead of strengthened while the defence has
been apprecably weakened. and suggests de-
sirable legislation. He says. in part:
