After the closing of the last war loan,

minds of Mr.. Cooke and his partners,
accustomed to the pressure and excite

Appropriations.

The house has been busy today on
Dllls carrying appropriation for the
state institutions.
A fight was precipitated when the bill
appropriating $4,000 for the erection of

the auxiliary manual training school at
Pittsburg was reached. The same fight
was made on an appropriation of $4,000
Tor maintenance and the salaries of
the employees. This was lost however.
The state normal bill was also pass
ed just as it came from the committee
on ways and means and provides for an
appropriation of $4,000 for maintenance,
salaries, equipment and general ex-
penseS of the state normal school at
Emporia.
The State university appropriation
bill passed as recommended by the
ways and means committee though an
attempt was made by Ryan to strike
out the section providing that fee be
collected from Kansas students and
substituting section providing that no
money be collected excepting for break
age.
The house also passed substitute for
senate bill 95. Making appropriations
to the Kansas State Agricultural coll
lege for the erection and equipment of
buildings, for maintenance, current
expenses and repairs for the fiscal
so, 1909, and to provide for fees to
be charged students at said Agricul-
turaI college. The total is $4,000.

Flowers That Won't Mix.

A Broadway florist who had just
received an order for table decora-
tons called up the customer in
haste.
~Say," he said, chose bouquets
and centerpieces won't last half
through the dinner. You've mixed
roses and mgnonette, and those two
flowers simply won't hitch. You'd
better let me carry out the designs
t0suit myself"
The customer at the other end of
the wire evidently agreed to the
suggestion, for the florist hung up
the receiver with a satisfied air.
'Most people who order flowers
make the same mistake that that
woman made" he said. ''They do
not know that certain flowers posi-
lively cannot get along together.
Take roses and mignonette, for ex-
ample. Each has bad effect on the
other, and when combined in any
floral piece the whole thing Wits in
less than an hour" New York

The Keystone State.

Pennsylvania is called the Key
stone State. Two explanations have
been given of this name Accord
ing to the first, the Declaration of
Independence was trembling in the
balance, six colonies having voted
for and six against it. The vote of
Pennsylvania was cast in favor of
the Declaration, and thus a major
ity was secured. According to the
other explanation, the name was
purely an accident. When the Rock
creek bridge was constructed, near
Washington, the stones of the great
arch were inscribed with the names
of the states, and when it was finish
ed the discovery was made that the
name of Pennsylvania was on the
keystone of the arch and thus was
applied afterward to the state

LOCATE AT LONG BEACH.
General Manager Martin Is Pleased With the
Prospect Of That Place.

There is a movement on foot In the
city which will in all probability result
in the bringing of the officers of one OF
the large mining properties OF Mexico
to this city.
Mr.. n. S. Martin, the secretary and
general manager OF the company, has
been In the city for several days and
will remain for at least ten Gays longer,
during which time definite arrange
ments will be made as TO the location
of the company's offices.
Mr.. Martins family were so taken
with Long Beach when they came here
last season fer a few weeks that they
remained for the entire winter season.
having apartments at one of the hotels
AS they are so pleased with our city as
whole, Mr.. Martin sees no reason
why the offices of the company should
not be located here, as Long Beach is
naturally located to an advantage.
The mining property in question Is
the Tarasca property, and it is not in
the developing stage but it is produc-
inc. 1t is located in the state of Son.
ora, Mexico.
Mr.. Martin and his associates took
this property which was an abandoned
mine some five years ago, and by the
