the lO5 counties which the state OF
Kansas has within its domains at
least fifty have no paupers. In the
entire state but 749 paupers are re-

the overflow of insane and feeble
minded asylums. One-half the coun-
ty poor farms are empty. save for
the keeper. who draws his salary
and waits for patronage The state
has a population estimated the first
OF the year at 100000. This means
mat even at that only about one

suddenly disappeared from his eyes.

he arose and shouted to his slaves to
Immediately bring a large tray Of piiaf.
II was early Friday morning earlier
than usual when Abduilah seated him
self upon the platform OF the mosque.
His face was beaming with hap
piness, and his eye had never been
more bright. for he had an i'm
pOrtant communication from Allah to
reveal to the wives of the Faithful. At
his side upon the platform stood an I'm
mense copper kettle which his waiting
slave had brought him. One by one
the rebelling women came and
sauatted about. anxious to hear tn"
special revelation promised by the
beaming expression upon Ahdullah's
face.

gated, Abdullah. in voice deep with
mystery and awe. commanded that
each woman present should go at once
to her home and Immediately return
with a jug of milk. The women de-

until his command had been obeyed.
and in a few moments two score wom-
en-, each with a jug Of milk balanced
upon her head. stood before him.
Pour the milk into this kettle" said
Abdullah, with voice suggestive OF
still greater mystery, yet in his eye
was a twinkle Of delight which he
could not conceal.
The women filed past the kettle.

Il shall .mpart the revelation which
Allah has sent to you through me. his
