ing the situation he is convinced that
women are not like they used to be.
He says he has a friend at Lake Crys-

And remarks that fall pat

And flirtations-Great Scott;

Kee ever received from the professor,
aside from some remittances, was
mailed in Ottawa October &c. 1908. The
letter follows:
Dear Etha: Am in a rush as usual.

of work to do yet tonight so must be
brief. School is not picking up any.
presume Fred is getting on well, but l
never hear from him. Hope you are
quite we'll eer this. I am about all in
tonight with cold"
And just previous to this last letter
is one which was even more blunt and
cool although it runs to greater length
in explaining the feelings of the
aesthetic professor. It follows:
Ottawa. Aug. g. '08.
Dear One: It is only o'clock but
1 am up and will hasten letter to you
so that you will get it today. In this
letter you shall have the sweet assur-
ance that I love you now and always
did You wonder what is the matter
with me then. So 1 will tell you. You
make me nervous. You fuss and don't
even notice it. I am nervous and
sensitive I can't bear your accusa-
tons. You fret over Mary Morris CHS
former sweetheart) and won't allow
yourself to believe what say. I'll tell
you once more. I could have had Mary
Morris and probably would have. had I
not loved you and not her.
I'm some ways you are good to me
and in others you are not. As far as
you know, you are. but that digging
into me- from the time you get with me
until I leave. makes me nervous. On
first acquaintance you would be called
a sweet dispositioned girl, but you do
not bear acquaintance. You have lived
in q fussy home and yet you would
have one just like it yourself. Now
wouldn't. My home was all peace and
I run from anything else. 1 shudder at
the kind of home I know We would
have but have chung to you because L
loved you. Write me at once, Etha,
and tell me if you and Frank have gone
to that doctor and have conluded that
you are getting the proper treatment
for your throat. I want you to have
every comfort and care and to rest
and get well quick. And 1 love you
and always have. GRANT"

to Kansas Readers.

Ottawa, Kan, Jan 27.-"The most
priceless jewels are the hardest to get.s
The above may be a quotation from
some poetic author. But in quoting it
to his sweetheart, Ethel Mckee, in 1908,
Professor Grant Grain made the mis-
take of adding qualifying state which
robbed it of much of the poetry.
1.-THE most priceless jewels are the
hardest to get, Etha,' he told her. land
If you weren't so easy to get, Pm sure
I'd want you more"
And it was this qualified quotation
which led Miss Mckee to finally be-
come angry at the professor accord
ing to her testimony in the breach of
promise case.
This was in September, 1908, she tes-
titled, nearly a month after their tenth
wedding day-or tenth time the day
had been set in the six years they had
been engaged. Five of the wedding
days were on Easter days.
In the six years the letters which
Professor Grain wrote to her changed
perceptibly in warmth of tone For in

CLAY CENTER CASE ARGUED.
On the Outcome Depends Proposed
Punishment of Officials.

Washington, Jan. 27.-On the out
come of arguments Thursday before
the supreme court of the United
States depends the proposed punish
ment of the mayor and certain citi-
zens of Clay Center, Kan, for con-
tempt.
Only once in recent years has such
a question been raised in the highest
tribunal of the land That was when
Sheriff Shipp, of Chattanooga, and
others were sent to jail for failure to
protect federal prisoner from lynch
ing.
1t is alleged that Mayor George w.
Hanna and others cut down poles of
an electric plant in Clay Center after
a decision had been rendered by the
supreme court of the United States
favorable in effect to the city'S Eight
to erect it's own light plant, but be-
fore the court had issued it's mandate
in the case and, therefore, the oppo-
site side had an opportunity to apply
for a rehearing. Thursday the mayor
and his fellow citizens, some of them
members of the city council, were cit
ed to show cause why they should
not be held in contempt.
H. L. Williams and F. B. Dawes, of
Clay Center, Kan, were the attorneys
who argued the case before the SUI
preme court.

He heaved sorrowful look, gazed
longingly on the fertile prairies of his
native state, looked scornfully toward
the. Missouri frontier, laid back his
ears, kicked three times the for
bidding boards of the crate in which
he was imprisoned. and
Blew out the gas.
The next morning they found his
carcass cold in death, but there was
the placid smile of satisfaction on his
physiognomy. His work had been
well done. Despite the Vaccinations
of cruel taskmasters he had lived and
died upon the Kansas prairies and
Missouri could never claim him as a
citizen.
And they say" quoth the school
master of Hillsboro, Kan, the native
town of the deceased, that there is
no wisdom in the donkey kind" And
he sadly shook his head.
The donkey was born and reared on
a farm near Hillsboro. There he
learned to love the sweet alfalfa and
the excellent corn. He also met mules

mer at Wentzville, Mo.
Uncle Tom may have raised some
slight disturbance when he found that
he had to go to Mississippi, but it was

Agriculture in Her Glasses.

Liberal, Kan. Jan. 27.-Mrs. Mary
Todd, county superintendent of schools,
has introduced the teaching of agricul-
ture in the district schools Of the coun-
ty. She is introducing the subject in
the teachers reading circles and beg
ging and imploring the teachers to
give their pupils at least one or two
hours a week on the subject that lies
nearest the home and heart Of every
rural school patron.
In the city schools of Liberal the
subject is taught, the Eighth grade
receiving both theory and practice.
Recently the class in agriculture was
taken to the farm of J. G. Ault, nine
miles north of Liberal, where the pu-
pills especially inspected the silo, one
of the first three to be put up in the
county.

heartily opposed by the people here,
to cut new county out of Finney
county, by forming Garfield and Pleas

Of Garfield.
The addition of such territory would
increase the limits of old Garfield to
such extent as to make it within the
constitutional limits and not be in con-
travention of the old supreme court
decision disorganizing Garfield county.

he has introduced no bill to divide

doing SO.
