May Lose Rural Routes.

II Is more than probable that some
OF the rural routes In Kansas will lose
entirely or have drastic changes made
In the routing, according to the Law
renee World. There is law which
requires that all roadsides hedges be
kept trimmed to four feet, but many
places there are long stretches Of road
with tall, heavy hedge fences on either
side, which form perfect wind break
and on the hot days when the roads
are dusty the dust is carried along
by the horses hoofs until the faithful
animal nearly perish. It has been
strongly limited by some OF the gov
eminent inspectors that such condi-
tons will speedily change or the
routes will be changed.

New York. Sept. "a remarkable
story OF a change In the marital rela-
lions OF Ferdinand p. Earle. an artist,
and son OF the late Gen. Ferdinand p.
Earle. the hotel man, Is published
Tuesday. apparently on the authority
Of Mr.. Earle himself. The arrange
pent which Mr.. Earle says has been
decided upon, included the return to
France of his wife. where Il Ia planned
she is to secure q divorce. and this
accomplished, the wedding Is to occur
of Mr.. Earle and a young woman
whose name is withheld. but who al
ready is living with her brother In
Mr.. Earle's country home near Mon
roe. Orange county. New York. A
young son IL to accompany the wife
who Is to be sent away to France. The
arrangement. strange to say, Ia appar-
emily acquiesced In by all the persons
involved. A part OF the arrangement
was carried out Tuesday when the
wife and child boarded the steamer
Ryndall, which will sail Wednesday
for Europe. Earle and the women he
Is to marry will accompany the wife
to the steamer to see her of.
Earle. In a lengthy published inter
view, says that he IL acting on bis
convictions, and maintains that his
