To Avoid Arrest and Was % at
Death.
London, Eng.-By the death of old
Kitty Grayson. which has just taken
place at Brynn. in the Wigan coal
field, probably the last survivor of the
race of pit women of the old days has
passed away. Kitty who was in her
ninety-second year, was, in fact very
likely the last woman who worked in
the mine, ana her lie linked up the
present with the past when women
and children toiled long and arduous-
ly in the bowels of the earth. The
act of parliament. known as Lord
Ashley's act. which prohibited wo-
men and girls, as we'll as young boys
under the age of 10 years, from work
ing underground in the mines, came
into operation in 1Si3. when Kitty
was a sprightly young woman of 10
working as Golfers drawer" or
wagner, in the pit.
In order to evade what was then re-
sented as a legislative innovation by
many Of those in whose interest the
law had been put upon the statute
books, Kitty Grayson disguised her
self as a man by donning her fathers
breeches, jacket and flannel shirt. The
government inspector got wind of IL,
however, and paid a surprise visit to
the colliery, catching Kitty at her
work below the ground. The result
was that she was instantly stopped
though she had by this time actually
worked for twelve months in the pit
after the act Of parliament had be-
come operative, and had. of course,
been defying the law of the land all
that time. In later life old Kitty Of
ten told how she had outrun the leg
islature by donning her disguise. Kitty
had many interesting memories of
colliery life in the olden time, and
was wont to describe how she herself
had been injured many times while
following her work in the NINE am
ong her injuries being three arm
breakages. of which marks remained
to the end of her long career.

The state expends a great deal more
money than that raised by direct tax

income.

percentage received by the college
was less than in 1907.
When consideration is given to
the value that the state college has
been to the farmers of the state alone
as well as to all the people in the
state, it is evident that of all the
money expended by the state, none
is used to better advantage than that
which the state college receives.
