Fraternities Plan Fight For Lives.
The fraternities of the University of
Kansas have decided to start a def
nate campaign among the members of
the Legislature to show that the frat
ernities are benefit to the university
rather than a hindrance. There is
possibility of a bill being introduced
in the next legislature to exclude the
''frats" from the school, and it is for
the purpose of guarding against this
movement that the fraternities will
take action. Each member of frat
ernity will try to see each member
of the legislature from his district aud
try to influence them in favor Of the
Greek letter societies.

Wouldn't Have County surveyors.

While not member of the legisla-
ture, c. A Spencer, young attorney
of Oakley, has plan which may get
to the legislature this winter. He
wants to abolish the office of county
surveyor and have a state surveyor
appointed who would look after all
of the work of that nature in the state.
His reason for this suggestion is that
there is SO little surveying to be done
in most counties and that the pay is SO
small that the office does not attract
any competent men.

Quiring all druggists to give bond to
the amount of $4,000 to cover all dam
ages that may result from the use OF
liquor they sell, data has been pro-
cured from the probate judges
throughout the state regarding the
number of permits and the amount of
liquor dispensed by the drug stores
of every county. The Temperance
Union has spent the past two months
gathering facts on this phase of the
liquor business. Of the 105 counties,
103 were heard from.
In over half of the counties-63 to
be exact-not single druggist permit
is now outstanding. In the 103 coun-
ties heard from, there are 800 permits.
Eight counties have only one, and sew
enteen over five permits in force. Six
counties of the state hold over half
! the permits. The names of these
counties and the number of permits
are as follows: Cherokee, II; Leav-
enworth, Is; Labette, II; Sedgwick,
/ 80; Shawnee, 48; Wyandotte, 80
/ From this list it can be seen that
! Shawnee county has the most permits
outstanding, and next in succession
comes Wyandotte and Sedgwick
counties.

Scheme to Help The Farmers.


Senator George H. Hunter of Wei
lington has evolved a plan to make
Kansas turkey wheat the premier
wheat of the world and to greatly
stimulate the production of high
grade wheat in Kansas. Senator
Hunter is putting his plan in the form
of bill which will be Introduced in the
next legislature shortly after the
beginning of the approaching session.
He was in Topeka in conference with
F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, and others in
terested in the wheat growing indus
try regarding his plan. Secretary Co
burn is enthusiastic in Endorsement of
he plan which Senator Hunter will
present, and thinks that its adoption
will be of almost inestimable advan-
tage to the formers of the state.
Senator Hunters bill will provide
for the appropriation of $100,000.00 by
the state, creating a revolving fund
to be used in the importation of fine
seed wheat from Russia and Alberta.
This revolving fund will be handled in
much the same way as the revolving
fund from which capital is drawn on
which to run the binding Irvine plant
at the penitentiary at Lansing. It is
not the intention of Senator Hunter
that the state derive any actual profit
from the seed wheat business any
more than it does from the manu-
facture of binding Irvine, although
his plan contemplates that the state
be reimbursed for the expenditure
necessary to start the seed wheat pro-
ject.
The Kansas Swine Breeders Asso-
citation will be in session January r.,
the annual meeting of the State Dairy
Association will be January 14-16; Of
the State Good Roads Association jan
uary IA and Is, and the State Poultry
Association will be holding its annual
convention on Thursday, January IA.

ness do not allow the patient to lie

CHAPTER XVIII

Nurse Meyrick was sleeping on a couch
in the dressing room. 1t had been placed
30 near the dor of communication that
she had full view of her patient. He
had just sunk into a tranquil doze. and
she had followed his example, when a
faint sound, like an opening door, reused
her, and moment after she caught a
glimpse of a white-robed figure with long,
fair hair. A young girl in a loose dress
ing gown was standing by Mr.. Merle's
bed. Nurse Meyrick's quick eyes discern
ed that one arm was bandaged and in
splints. 1t must be the young lady, she
thought, who had been injured in the ac-
cident; perhaps she was light headed.
The next minute she touched her softly.
Come, my dear, come" she said coax-
ingly; you ought not to be out of YOUR
bed at this time of night let me help YOU
back, there's dear young lady" for Mis-
sizes wide, feverish eyes alarmed her.
No, no. returned Missile, recoiling
from the nurses gentle touch. 81 could
not stay in bed, could not sleep until 1
had seen papa. Let me stay and look at
him; l will be good and not wake him"
But the nurse shook her head at this.
You must not stay" she whispered,
not daring to raise her voice; your feet
are bare, and you look as bad as possible.
Come, my dear, let me carry you back to
your room; 1t will scare your father to
see you standing there"
mo, no" returned Missile, shrinking
still more 81 must stay with papa. Why
does he look so pale, and lie 50 still? Is he
dead? No one told me he was dead.
Papa" she cried out, for she was be-
wildered by the dim light and her own
feverish fancies. Speak to mo only one
word, just to tell me you are alive"
"Oh, hush !" exclaimed the nurse; but
she was too late. Mr.. Merle woke I'D ;
but In his weak condition his daughters
presence did not seem to startle him.
my DEAR" he said, feebly; ''they ought
not to have allowed this. You will make
yourself Ill leaving your warm bed"
"But I could not Sleep" she sobbed; ~
could not rest. l thought they were hid
ing things from me. If you had died, and
l had never told you was sorry, should
have died, too. Oh, papa, it must have
killed mel"
