An effort is to be made to compel
the rural schools of Kansas to follow
the course of study prepared by the
state board of education and ordered
by the legislature to be used N the
public schools Of Kansas. In about
half Of the counties rural schools are
following this course. The reports
coming in to the state superintendent
indicate that the county superintend-
ents do not know that the law requires
them to place the course of study in
every common school in their respec-
tive counties.

The last legislature made poll tax
applicable to all men between 21 and
so years of age. Previous to that only
those between 81 and As years of age
were required to work out poll tax and
the people who are caught by the ex-
tension of the age limit want to know
now it happened. They are writing in
letters to the attorney general every
day asking about it. There are GER
ain exceptions to the law. Members
of fire departments, the National
Guard and those above so years OF
age are exempted from poll tax.

In a document filed in the supreme
court Charles w. Barnes, state super
intendent of insurance, states that lie
doubts if the state charter board has
authority to grant a charter to the
Bankers Deposit Guaranty and Surety
company, and denies the existence Of
such a corporation. Mr.. Barnes filed
his answer to the alternative writ
granted by the court in the mandamus
proceedings instituted against him by
the officials of the insurance company.
The proceedings were TO compel him
to issue to the company a certificate
authorizing it to operate in Kansas.
IN addition to this document filed by
Barnes, Fred S. Jackson, attorney
general, filed an application in the
court asking that he be allowed to ap-
pear as a defendant in the cause be
cause of the fact that the entire state
is interested in the case. Jackson's
application also winds around into an
answer to the alternative writ. He
urges the court not to find that the
company is authorized to do business
in Kansas unless it also finds that the
insurance department has authority to
regulate it the same as other insur-
ance companies operating in the state.

Easily Coaxed.

The new schoolteacher had a talk
with Mrs. Hobart one day in regard
to discipline. 81 don't see how you
manage Bobby as well as you do
said the teacher. Il like him, but he's
such mischievous little fellow, and
he will not mind, yet every one says
he minds you. l wish you'd explain
it to me-"
"Well," said Mrs. Hobart doubtfully,
I'D just as soon tell you, but I'm
afraid it won't help you much. You
see, kind of coax him."
SOAK him. echoed the teacher.
"Yes," said Mrs. Hobart, that's what
do. I say to him, Now, come, Bobby,
wouldn't you rather be mothers good
boy and have griddlecakes and strip
for supper and play games till 8
O'Clock than have just plain bread
and milk that's been through the sep
arator and go to bed right after it,
with the curtains drawn so you can't
see the Stars|
Il can most always coax him that
way.
"Once in awhile, if he's real set to
be naughty, I'll say, See here, Bobby,
which ID you rather have-mother fry
you some doughnuts or cut a little
willow switch, not so very little,

81 can coax him that way sure If
the other fails. YOUTHS Companion.

In state Of great excitement leaned
the truant Hastings hardly knew him.
His cheeks were flushed and his eyes
were dancing as he cried, "Now, that
is the way the little monkey swung
off by his tailr' His cheek was pressed
close to the girls, and his arm rested
lovingly on her shoulder Evidently
she had won his heart too
Hastings felt swift pang of jeal-
ousy and started forward.
Then they heard him, and Jack
sprang up, with a cry of delight.
The girl was too loaded down to
rise, and so she sat there. Perhaps it
was the sudden flood Of color to her
cheeks; perhaps it was the upward
glance of her eyes. At any rate, a sud-
den light came to Hastings. For a
moment he stood there blinded, dazed
Then his customary GOODNESS came to
his aid. 1t was his turn to carry
things with a high hand, and he must
make the most of it.
His eyes challenged hers as he said:
Of stolen goods, Miss Trevor? 1 am
glad to see that you have the grace to
blush for your sins, even under your
paint"
Jack was quite shocked. "She did
not steal me-" he protested 81 was
lonely, and | was waiting for you in
the hall, and she asked me to come in,
time" he added in a joyous outburst.
That's just as bad" Hastings an
swered severely "You mean to say
that she enticed you in here
Jack was sreechless. The girl had
said nothing.
''You might at least invite me to sit
down since you are so comforta ble,"
Hastings went on. "and let me join in
the beautiful time, though l don't
know, on second thought, that it isn't
pleasanter standing. 1t is so unusual
to see you at my feet
Miss Trevor started to scramble up.
but two strong hands lifted her gently
ence to her to be either commanded or
helped. But she did not seem to mind
it nor to notice that he was still hold
ing her hands. Both had forgotten
Jack as Hastings bent over her and
asked, 'Are you glad that 1 have
come?'
Jack is delighted with it all, but he
never will understand why Tom al
ways calls the girl Hearts Desire"

Animals as Weather Prophets.

Before a rainstorm a cat nearly al
ways washes its face. Why? Some
claim that the atmosphere excites the
electricity in the cats fur, and to over
come the tingling sensation she sets to
washing herself
Or If there Is no cat in the house you
may possess parrot. If the bird sits
down and makes a sort Of Kissing
noise, look out for rain in the night.
One need seldom fear getting wet in
the country. Horses, cows, sheep,
hogs, dogs-all evince certain peculiar
tiles before a storm. Dogs bury bones;
horses f1dget and neigh; cows lie down;
hogs grunt.
Some day you may walk into field
and see flock Of sheep in corner, all
with their backs turned to the north
west. If you wait long enough you
will feel wind blow up from that d.

Giving Her the Benefit.

The dressmaker looked at the bill
which had been made out for the plain
little frock and then threw up her
hands In horror "That will never do
she said emphatically. Twenty for
making and $3.13 for findings. How
would that appear on paper, $23.13!
Why, the lady would look upon the
frock as hoodooed and imagine that
every time she wore it 1t would bring
her bad LUCK. Here; let me have the
list of findings" She figured rapidly
and soon had the bill $24.31.
There" she said contentedly, "that
will satisfy her And she will be still
more pleased when 1 discount the
change and accept an even $24."
But" said the girl who had made
out the bill, isn't that somewhat Of
