A young lawyer had become very
much attached to a certain young wo-
man, who was somewhat celebrated
among her friends for her repartee. The
only obstacle in the pathway of the
young man was his exceeding shyness,
for while always in command of him
self in the court room, he became al
most speeches. in the presence of his
adored one. AS one method of showing
his devotion it was his custom to Show
er his inamOrata with presents.
The young lady's mother, being far
from satisfied with the status of the
case, preached the subject.

Brown practically mOnopolize your So

any other callers. Has he ever given
you to understand that his intentions
are serious?'

TOM CORDRYS KICK.

me writer has often urged the or
ganization of a Woman's Kansas Day
club where the women of the state could
meet much after the manner of the
members of the original Kansas Day
club, and such a club would be espec-
tally appreciated by the wives of the
members OF the original club. Now a
Woman's Kansas Day club has been
organized and the first meeting will be
held January %, but instead Of having
an address by one of the many bright
women of Kansas the organizers have
invited a man to deliver the principal
address. It makes no difference that the
speaker invited is one of the most pol
lshed and scholarly orators in The state
and that he is lady's man, there is no
more reason why a man should be in
Vlted to address this club than there is
why woman should be invited to ad-
dress the He Kansas Day club If the
writer was an officer in the latter organ
ization he would insist on inviting some
woman orator like Mrs. Cora G. Lewis,
Mrs. May Belleville Brown or Mrs. W.
d. Atkinson to deliver an address before
It. Either of these ladies' mentioned,
and there are others in Kansas, are just
as good speakers as Charley Scott. But
1t is the old theory of which even the
most ardent advocates of the independ-
ent woman has never yet been able to
purge herself, and there must be a man
in the house.-Parsons Sun.

Mark Tvain's Story for schoolboys.

Mark Twain on his last visit to his old

children a true story about a school boy
This boy" he said, "awoke one morn
ing very i'll. His groans alarmed the
household. The doctor was sent for and
came post-haste.
Well said the doctor. as he entered
the sick room, what is the trouble2'

himself healed and got up. Then they

1t is said that Judge J. A Smith, of

on number of Bostonians, whom he
met on a trip to Washington. The judge
had taken along with him a number of
hedge balls or Dosage Oranges to show
to his eastern friends. when one of the
inquired as to what they were. The
judge informed him that they were
oranges which grew in Kansas and
were of the Usage variety. He gave the
further information that although they
were green al the present time but if
put away for some time that one would
be surprised at their taste and flavor
The gentleman from Beantown offered
to buy the oranges at 80 cents each,
which he accepted. The other day a let

Teachers Salaries.


"Wil you tell me, sir, said
Gen. Stephen D. Lee, directing
his remarks to the Governor in a
recent address before the State
College at Columbus, Miss,
Why your Legislature at its last
meeting provided about twice
the amount for the salaries of the
men occupying the chairs of the
University as for those of the
women discharging the same
kind of duties?" Governor Var
daman disclaimed any ownership
of the Legislature in question
and said he neither favored nor
sanctioned the existing discrimi-
nation against woman wage earn
ers.
Protests of a similar kind are
filling columns of the public
prints in other states. We read
that the public school teachers
of the Empire State are about to
move on Albany for a law proyid.
ing adequate salaries. Then we
hear Of discomfort among Mis-
souri, teachers because of unjust
discrimination; and so it goes.
The whole discussion resolves
itself back into the question
which teachers have been debat.
ing for so many years, and which
was so aptly answered by Susan
B. Anthony on that memorable
day in 1858, when for the first
time a woman's voice was heard
in a Teachers Convention. The
question was why the profession
of teacher is not as much re.
spected as that of lawyer, doc
tor OF minister, and when Miss
Anthony vas finally permitted to
speak, after a half hours discus
sion on the propriety of allowing
a woman to be heard, she said,
1T seems to Inc you fail TO com.
prehend the cause of the disre.
spect Of which you complain.
Do you not see that so long as
society says woman has not
brains enough 10 be a doctor,
lawyer or minister, but has
plenty to be a teacher, every man
of you who condescends 90 teach
tacitly admits before all Israel
and the sun that he has no more
brains than a woman"
Yet to this day the matter is
solemnly considered, argued pro
and con, talked about, written
about, and the teachers them
selves, 10 say nothing Of all the
rest Of Us, apparently fail utter
.ly TO see, in the political disfran.
chisement of the majority Of
teachers, the cause for under
paid labor and unjust discrimina.
ton. In the four States where
women vote, teachers salaries
not only average higher than in
the States where they do not,
but the law provides equal pay
for equal service irrespective Of
sex.

Washington Letter.


Whatever is the ultimate out
come in Cuba there is no ques-
ton that Judge Magoon has on
his hands one of the most diff
cult jobs that has ever fallen to
the lot of an American official.
IOficial advices from Cuba indi-
Gates that everything is going
beautifully and that it is only a
question of a few months before
the new elections will be held,
and the recognized government
put on its feet and everything
run just as it would be run in
this country after a Presidential
election had been held.
This is all perfectly true from
an official standpoint and is a nice
diplomatic way of stating the
case. However, a great many
private letters have been receiv-
ed at the State, War and Navy
Department building from the
officers on the spot, who have
had a chance to see the wheels
20 around and who know what
an almost inextricable tangle
Cuban affairs have gotten into.
The observers on the spot say
that while Judge MagoOn will
doubtless be able TO arrange a
decently conducted election on
the island, il is doubtful If the
Cuban for a generation 10 come
will be able to properly admins
ter their own government. The
troubles, as has been previously
stated in these letters, that there
are not enough officers to go
around. The Cuban brand of
patriotism is not exactly what
we are used 10 in this country,
and those who have studied the
situation on the spot say that
there Is very little difference be.

Liberals, except that one party

II will be the duty of Cover

them that it will be a good deal
better for them TO live in peace

them, than il will be 10 have the
