Kansas women are evidently hard to
please. A Kansas City man went home
the other night earlier than usual and
undertook to surprise his wife with a
kiss and an embrace. Imagine his sur
prise when she transfixed him with an
angry look and icily remarked: ut
stems to me that you would do better
spending your evenings with your fam
lily than to be coming home at bedtime
SO full Of booze that you talk and act
like fool"

A Cleveland woman suffragist dec
lares: "The only reason man buys
woman so many fine clothes is to keep
her down. Clothes are woman's bond
age" Heretofore the popular belief
has been that mans reason for buving
woman fine clothes was because there
was no other way of escape. But, as
the years roll by, popular misconcep-
tions are slowly giving way to newly
discovered truths.

it is asserted that upon being asked
how long he thought the American oc-
cupation of Cuba would last, Secretary
Root answered with story: A kinder
garten teacher asked a class of boys !:
Have you warm coat?" EYES," was
the reply. "Can you take off your warm
coatg" "Yes.o "Has a bear warm
coat?" Yes" "Can a bear take off
his warm coat?" No." sWhy cannot
the bear take off his warm coat?" This
puzzled the youngsters moment, and
then one cub on the back row yelled;
"'Cause God only knows where the but
tons are"

DELAYS Information.

Whatever may have been the inten-
tion of the president when he left
Washington few weeks ago for his
trip down the Mississippi as to fur
ther declaration, politicians who are
plotting the Taft boom now find lit
tie to hope for there in the immedi-
ate future. Manager Vorys came to
Washington for plain statement, be
cause he sees quite clearly that Secre--
retary Taft can't get Ohio delegates
so long as there is a chance of nomi-
mating the present incumbent, buff
he received no satisfaction whatev-
er except that the president is still in
earnest in his desire that the secreta-
1y of war shall be his successor to
carry to fruition his policies. Tie
president, while on his journey, heard
so much third term talk that it is
small wonder if he has decided to
wait while before turning down fin
ally the profferred prize. At every
stop of his trip, even between stops
when his private car was invaded by
senators, congressman, mayors and To-
cal reception committees he has heard
the same song.

New Postal Order.

Postmaster General Meyer issued
an order respecting the purchase by
business men of stamped envelopes
that will mean much to business com
munities and to large users of the gov
ernment envelopes. 1t provides that
when an order is placed with post
master for any number of stamped
envelopes only the cost of the envel,
opes and printing thereon shall be
deposited with the order, instead OF
the entire cost of envelopes. The gov
ernment is often five to six weeks
making a delivery of stamped envel-
opes. AS about 100000 envelopes
are turned out every day by the gov
ernment and the orders for them are
approximately 100000 the amount OF
money tied up under the present prae
tice is enormous. Under the order oi
the postmaster general, the stamps val
ue of the envelope will remain in the
hands of the purchaser and be avail
able for such uses as he may care +
make of it while the order is being
filed.
When the postmaster general deliv-
ers the envelopes ordered, he will turn
into the treasury Immediately the
money received, thus making it avail
able for government purposes.

WILL REMAIN
NINETY DAYS
FLEET WILL NOT BE KEPT IN
PACIFIC PERMANENTLY.
THE PRESIDENT APPROVES
Of Course Of Secretary Cortelyou in
Giving Financial Relief to Wall
Street and Pittsburg = Oklahoma
to Ratify Constitution.

Washington.-The continued pres
ence in Washington of Rear Admiral
Evans, who is to command the At
lantic battleship fleet on its voyage
to the Pacific and the conference go
ing on between the president and Sec
retary Metcalf, since the president re-
turned to Washington have had the
effect to renew interest in the rapidly
approaching departure of the great
feet Naval officers here have had
their attention directed to the re-
marks of the president in the course
of his recent speech at Vicksburg,
when he took occasion to answer the
criticism he said he had observed
in some quarters that he was exceed
ing the appropriation available for
coaling the feet to the Pacific. At
this point he turned to Representa-
tive John Sharp Williams, who was
on the platform, and remarked:
"I should like to say that we have
money enough to get the fleet to the
Pacific. If the appropriation is then
exhausted the question of getting It
back will depend upon another ap-
preparation being made"
While this utterance appeared to
indicate purpose on the part Of the
president to leave to congress the
final decision of the question as to
whether or not the battleship fleet
was to return to the east, it is now
certain that the president has never
had any idea of maintaining the fleet
permanently in the Pacific. Indeed,
it was learned that unless his present
plans are changed, the order for the
feet to return will go forward to the
admiral in command before the ships
have been ninety days on the Pacific
coast.
The president feels absolutely no
apprehension respecting the possibili-
ties Of war with Japan and the pur-
pose of the cruise is to test the cap
abilities of a modern battleship feat
under conditions almost as trying in
the point Of endurance at least as
might be expected to arise in actual
warfare.

Living in the Past.

Because he spoke in praise of Gen.
eral Lee on Lincoln's birthday, last
February, the Rev. John Van SchaicI<
Jr., Pastor of the Church of Our Fs-
ther, has been denounced by the
Burnside Post, G.. A. R., of Wash
ing, as unpatriotic. In consequence
prominent members Of the organiza-
tion here are lined up against each
other. Corporal James Tanner, Past
Grand Commander of the G. A. R.,
and Chaplain Couden, Of the House OF
Representatives, made forcible fight
for the minister, and President Roosc
velt's speech eulogizing the great
General was quoted in his favor with
out avail.

President Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt has been thor
oughly advised as to financial condi-
tions in Wall street and Pittsburg
and is understood to regard the crisis
as over and also to approve of the
measures Of relief which Secretary
Cortelyou afforded both cities. SEN
ator Knox received direct informa-
ton from Pittsburg by telephone,
which was of most reassuring char
acter. Senator Knox told the presi-
dent that all apprehension in that
quarter was dispelled. The president
when asked if he would make any
statement on the situation indicated
that comment from his was unneces-
sary.

Constitution To Be Ratified.

A large delegation of citizens Of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory have
arrived here with the expectation of
obtaining conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt, bringing with them
to lay before the president, copy
of the new constitution and the cleo
ton returns. Under the enabling
act, the president will have twenty
days after he has received the new
constitution in which to approve or
disapprove of it. He has already
indicated that he will approve the in
strument and issue proclamation
declaring the territories of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory to be the new
state of Oklahoma.

Advancing Civilization.

The tribe of Ute Indians which
more than year ago wandered away
from their reservation in Utah and
created trouble in Colorado and
Wyoming by threatening to take to
the war path and raid ranches, is re-
ported to have again broken ont on
the Cheyenne river reservation in
South Dakota, where the tribe was
given temporary quarters. AT the re-
quest of the secretary of the interior
the war department ordered troops
from Fort Meade, S. D., to the scene
of the trouble. The character Of
the outbreak is not known here.
