Felicia was plainly annoyed. She
Dit her lip and sighed wearily-that
particular sort of a sigh that sent
2emick's heart downward with all the
sureness of a sounding lead.
Bobby, why will you?" she said IN
zones of utter despair.
Remick squared his big shoulders in
determination.
you should know very well why"
he declared fatty. Il"
Yes, oh, yes, of course" said Fee
licia hastily. please don't go over
all that again. But let me say once
Cor all, Bobby, finally and irrevocably.
that it is utterly impossible"
Remick's mouth set obstinately
There was look upon his face at
that moment that said plainly it was
absolutely and irrevocably nothing OF
the sort.
And" Felicia went on, 1T must
cease. You must stop all this silly
nonsense if you care to see me at all.
Il care very much indeed, Felicia,
he replied, but the truth of the mat
ter is that seeing you is not enough
Therefore, permit me to say with
decision which will compare very ia
vorably with your own in intensity
that l shall be very persistent, that
upon every occasion that offers an op
portunity l shall repeat what l have
just said"
Felicia's beautiful eyes shot out
warning sparks. An angry red crept
into her cheeks; for Felicia, spoiled
child that she was in many ways
could brook no crossing of her will.
Then, Bobby Remick,' she said
firmly, you will never get your next
opportunity"
Wont /, thought" he laughed cas-
lily.
That laugh nettled Felicia sorely
The sparks in her eyes fared into {

other chance" she declared In low
unsteady tones, Il will answer yol

Country Lawyers the Best?

"a country lawyer, like a country
doctor, must take all kinds of cases,
and my experience on the circuit
bench convinced me that the average
country lawyer is better lawyer than
the average city attorney" says Con-
gresham Joshua Alexander, of Mis-
souri,. "Of course, the city lawyers
are more highly specialized than the
men who conf1ne their practice large
ly to the country. This also is true
of doctors. But the city lawyers are
so highly specialized that when they
get up against really good country
lawyer, who is well grounded in the
principles of law, they are at a deci.
ded disadvantage when it comes to
general practice"

Korea to enter into Independent diplo-

powers that brought about the war
between China and Japan,
Even the end of that war did not
bring peace to Korea. Japan tried
to introduce reforms, but a mutiny
broke out in which the queen was
murdered. This led to the withdraw

This gave great impetus to Rus.

the diplomatic struggle that ended in
the Russo-Japanese war. Soon after
the Japanese had driven Russia from
Korea, the Korean monarch dis.
patched a secret deputstion to The
Hague peace conference to protest
against the manner in which Japan
was laying down the Law.

the conclusion that the United States
senate is no place for man of mod

cost me to run again? I really don't
know. Nobody can tell, for it hasn't
been tried. But I'd have to main
tain my organization in every district
and every county, practically, in the
state. California Is more than 1000
miles long. Therefore, I'd have ter
ritory to cover that would be as long
as from Maine to the Carolinas Skin
ting the Atlantic coast.
IF the state was compact, like
some of the little New England COM
monwealths, the case might be differ
ent and the expense less. There are
many towns in California that cannot
be reached by railroad that require
long stage rides to reach. All of these
would have to be taken care of po-
litically. There would be bands and
halls, carfare to the extent of hun
dreds Of dollars for speakers-not to
mention their expenses while on the
stump-and the huge newspaper print
ing bills. I would have to make two
campaigns in reality, one for the pri-

says. It cannot be denied, either, that
there is a number of very poor men
on the roll-men who, If they were
to die today, would leave scarcely
enough behind them to pay for their
collins. But, like the exceptions that
prove certain rules, these men of no
visible means except their salaries are

.HINKEL HAS RETURNED.
Refuses to Talk About Stubs and
Fight on Prohibition.

Edward HinkeI, Topeka representa-
tive of the National Association Of
Manufacturers and Business Men, to-
day returned to town Mr.. HinkeI is
the man who said he had written the
letter to Governor Stubs telling about
the establishment of a headquarters
here to fight all prohibition candidates
in Kansas at the election. He said ne
wrote the letter for fun Later it de-
Veloped that Mr.. HinkeI has charge of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
business in Kansas. Governor Stubs
declares that he has information to the
effect that the associations business IS
to stop the progress of the prohibition
wave which is sweeping the country
Mr.. HinkeI was pressed today for an
interview supporting his statements 3s
printed Wednesday,. He declined to
talk further than to say:
L have nothing to say at this time.
Let the governor and his newspapers
do the talking now. I will talk later
Mr.. Hinkel did not deny that he had
said he had written the Stubs letter
himself Just for fun
The governor, speaking of the Hinkel
letter, said:
1t doesn't make any difference
whether Mr.. Hinke1 was trying to have
fun with me or not. The fact remains
that the National Association Of Manu-
facturerS and Business Men. a branch
of which he came to Topeka to estab-
fish, has been fighting prohibition all
over the country and is spending thou
sands of dollars for that purpose right
now
This national association of man
ufacturers and business men is the
same outfit that printed whole page
advertisements in the Denver papers
knocking on prohibition and SANDER
ing Kansas because of her prohibitory
law when made prohibition speeches
there last summer. The organizat ton
signed its business name to the ad-
vertisem ents, so there can be no ques-
/ ton about it.
I found the same organization at
work in Chicago when made
speeches there. It is working in Mis-
souri, right now trying to defeat pro-
/ hibition. 1t is also at work in Oregon.
: It has the backing of the brewers and
I distillers OF the country and so far as
anyone has been able to see its only
business is to defeat prohibition. The
everywhere it has worked it has spent
it literally. 7 predict that it will spend
literally in Kansas, if it has not al
ready done so.
There might be room for doubt
! about this man Tinkel but there is
none about the organization upon
whose letterhead he was introduced in
Topeka Its workings are well known
Even i Hinkel is not here for the
purpose of fighting me, it is certain
| that he has done nothing so far to in
dicate that he is for me. Everything
indicates otherwise. Why should Mr.
Hinkel think he could have fun with
me?"

ON LIQUOR QUESTION.
Oklahoma Prosecutor Confers With
Attorney General jackson.

z. S. Caldwell, special prosecutor
for the state of Oklahoma in all mat
ters relating to the prohibitory law
conferred with Attorney General Jack
son today about the shipping of intox-
icants over the border from neigh
boring states. They are having the
same trouble in Oklahoma that KAN
sas has along the Missouri line.
Mr.. Caldwell has obtained an in
junction TO prevent the hauling of
liquor across the Arkansas line. He
also has had trouble of this kind on
the southern border of his state and
even on the northern border where
liquor is hauled from Kansas into the
NoWata territory.
Assistant Attorney General Shukers
recently has begun suits in the Lea
venworth courts against wholesalers To-
Gated in that city to prevent filling
orders taken in Leaenworth and sup
piled almost instantly by hauling
across the line. The Oklahoma and
Kansas prosecutors hold that this Dor
der whiskey business is not Interstate
commerce in any sense of the word.

LODGED ON A REEF.
Steamer Louisiana Goes Aground and
Passengers are Taken Off.

Key West, Oct. 20.-The French
transatlantic steamer Louisiana from
Havre for Havana and New Orleans
is ashore on Sombrero reef, about fifty
miles east of here. About half of her
SAT passengers have been brought here
and the others are thought to be not
in danger.
When within fifty miles of Havana
on Monday and in the teeth of the
hurricane, the captain lost control of
his ship which was driven hard upon
Sombrero reef
The cutter found those on board
were not suffering and after taking
on as many of the passengers as she
could accommodate sailed for Key
West.
The cutter will return to take the
rest of the passengers from the wreck
this afternoon.
The steamer struck in the hurricane
on Monday. She lies only eight feet
out of water and it will be impossible
to float her until her cargo has been
jettfsoned The French liner sailed
