This is the story of a Kansas mule.
The corn was about ready to lay by,
and his master was In the midst of
the final plowing when the mule de-
cided that he was through with work.
No amount or form of moral or other
suasion could induce him to pull the
hat off your head" Exasperated be-
yond endurance, the master at last
succeeded in leading him to a nearby
corncrib, where he fastened him with
a log chain with the expressed intent
of leaving him there until he came to
his senses.
The day was as hot as-Kansas. The
flies were Kansas flies and thick as
they grow in Kansas. The crib was
full of popcorn. BY and by the mule
began to register his protest against
the outrage, for such he conceived 1t
to be, by a lively tattoo against the
side of the crib. AN he kicked an
he kicked an he Kicked until his
shoes became red hot and set fire to the
corncrib. The fire popped the corn,
which fell about in such profusion that
the mule, believing 1t was showing,
lay down and froze to death.-Louis-

Married Women Ara
Now Declared Eligible

A married woman is no longer dis.
criminated against in the homestead
laws. according to the circular for 1910.
Previous circulars have contained a
clause excluding married woman from
entry except in those States which give
women right to acquire and bold title
to lands as a feminine sole.
In the new circular the clause is cut
out entirely. This law was felt to be
unjust. since it made it possible for
married women in some States to &C.
quire land which women in the same
circumstances in other States were
denied. A married woman now has
equal chance with her unmarried sister.
or her husband or brother, for taking
up Government land, provided she in
other ways fulfills the homestead laws
conditions.
Another important change in the cir.
cular provides that IA months of
"actual and substantially continuous
residence" is necessary instead of tact
ual and continuous residence and culti-
vation," as it was previously phrased.

LOVELY WOMAN LOSES WAIST LINE

Gowns Are Now Pleated


Women's waist lines, which have
been wandering from their arms to
their knees for some time, have now
disappeared altogether. At the con-
vention Of national cloak, suit and skirt
manufacturers recently held in Chicago
the models for 1911 were displayed and
there is no suggestion of waist line in
any of the newest things. This not
only applies to gowns, but to cloaks
aud coats as well. The new woman
will have no waist, but win appear in
silhouette lines.
True to their promise, the manufac-
turers have discarded the hobble aud all
its ilk. In the new gowns there is no
suggestion whatever of tightening at
the ankles or knees. Instead, there
are many pleats. all cunningly devised,
inserted at odd places. which flare out
delightfully."- when the wearer is in
motion, but are completely invisible at
other times.

the senate last night, Senator Benn
Conger, after reading a statement in
which he declared he fully realized
that as a result of the Aids bribery
charge his usefulness as a legislator

and when he had finished he sent his
resignation to the desk and quickly
left the chamber.
Goes Into Origin of Scandal.
Mr. Conger read how at a private
conference where the qualifications
of former Senator Aids for the po-
sition of republican leader of the
senate were being considered he was
asked to declare his position, and he
replied that he would not and could
not vote for him.
