The LATEST NEWS FROM KAN
SAS

The latest news from Kansas is
about what was to have been ex-
pected Kansas has seen the insur-
gents in the first flush of victory, and
it is apparent that the movement is
more in the interest of substituting a
new political machine for an old one
than to promote the interests of the
people. The rank and file, we are
told, are recovering their equilibrium.
1t is predicted that when the repub-
Iicans of Kansas assemble next Tues
day to make platform they are to
show the insurgents that there is no
such condition in Kansas as the anti
republicans have advertised to the
their number for governor and an
other for member of congress. The
returns from 1875 counties have come
in to the republican headquarters at
Topeka and it is clear from them that
the sane republicans are to gather and
make the platform right, indorsing the
administration of President Taft with
out Qualifications and UNFOLDING the
regular republican principles without
a mention of the side issues of the
insurgents 1t appears that the reg
uIars were busy securing control of
the state committee and building safe
fences for state organization while the
insurg ents were making sure of the
nominations.
This is case in which he who
laughs last is very likely to laugh
heartiest.

only realized when public attention is
called to the devotion of some scien-
fist tc his purpose. and the progress
he has made in unexpIored fields. a
scientist long past the meridian of life
Professor Garner, has just come out
of the African jungle. a part of the
continent where there were only three
white men in 400, 900 square miles. He
has spent seven years in doing just
one thing-studying the language of
the monkey.
In the seven years, this aged stu
dent has learned that monkeys have
twenty eight sounds in their tongue.
Nine of these he knows the meaning
Of The others he does not. The
monkey can express a wish for Ger
tain things can talk about it when in
pain. when he is hungry or is happy.
But he is satisfied He will keep on
studying until. fortune granting. he
has learned the meaning of the nine
teen other sounds.
The practical minded man asks
what the use of monkey language
would amount to if the world acquired
a knowledge of it; but the most this
scientist hopes TO do. doubtless, is to
stabiish the fact that they have a
language, and this may help some 9TH
CT scientist to find out if they have
mind and what the capacity of it is

The LINCOLN CENT.

1t seems a long time ago that the
Lincoln cent was issued and after 29-
090,oeo Of them had been lninted, the
Initials ('fV.D.B.") of the designer
were removed and since then the Phil
adeip4asa mint has been putting out
500 eee Lincoln pennies a day: but the
171.66s.5z coined up to August 1. 1910
are net apparently showing the old
Indian head cent cut of circulation
and this is what has awakened the
curiosity of the treas Hry department
officials
Mr.. Victor D Bremen. who resented
the removal of his initials from the
coin, is now aware that the issue and
the permaaent seizure of the whole
30 eee, eos by collectors and the story
of the initial fight have given him in
creased fame and made the facts in
list sees he has more cause for thank
ing the treasury department than for
blaming it
But there are $4,000. 600 more of
these coins that have been given out
for circulation, but they do not seem
to circulate, SO what becomes of the
Lincoln pennies is as likely TO become
a established inquiry as what be-
comes Of the pins 1t is believed that
the slot machines hold = great many
of them
These are net a special coinage but
were designed to retire the Indian
head cents, and as the coinage must
continue for 20 years unless stopped
by a special act of con gress, there is
no doubt that later on they will be the
everyday cent, and the others will
disappear from circulation.

WAKING THE SMALL BOY UP.
