KANSAS LEADS ALL STATES
IN "CITIZEN'S CLUBHOUSEs.'

kansas is leading every other
state in the country in the rapid
development of its schools, the in
creasing number of students en-
rolled, and the enlargement of its
investment in school property" says
w. H. Johnson, high school inspector
for the state university, in comment
ing on the fact that Kansas spent
ON school houses last year $780,
900, an increase over the previous
year of $89S,OO0.
Enough new school houses were
built in Kansas last year to make a
fair sized. town, If gathered in a
group. The total number of such
buildings is 1912 and the number
of rooms in them is 14,457. But the
most significant thing about the de-
velopment of the year has been the
awakening of Kansas people to the
fact that in the school house the
people have a club house and forum
going to waste for lack of use.

ANARCHISTS TO Be DRIVEN OUT
ALL FRANCE STIRRED UP OVER
PARIS ouTRAGEs.
Police Amazed at Number In City
Sympathizers Also Arrested and
all Must Leave Country.

Paris, April 3O.-The last OF the
phantom bandits, GARNER, chief lieu
tenant of Bonnet, was arrested here
late at night. He was surprised In
his room and gave up without a ignt.
Relentless war against the anarch-
lists in France is to be one result or
the operations OF the Bonnet band OF
motor car brigands, two of whose
leaders were killed at Choisy-le-Roi,
near Paris, after desperate hght
with police and soldiers.
The police are amazed at the dis
covery of the large number OF anarch-
lists who have taken refuge in Paris
from various European countries.
They now will be arrested and driven
from France as enemies of society.
The melodramatic end of Bonnet
called forth admiration among GER
tain parts of the revolutionary classes
and many arrests have been made
when that feeling has been expressed
in public.
AT the funeral of Superintendent
Jouin Of the Paris detective depart
ment, who was killed while trying to
arrest Bonnet, Louis Lepine, project
of police, delivered an appeal for the
more severe punishment of criminals.
He said there was tendency to treat
youthful wrongdoers ieniently on the
ground that they we're not responsible
for their acts and that tendency, he
said, was creating a great menace to
the security of the people.

These are scarcely stories in the
sense Of structured things that rise
and climax with form and substance.
Rather are they incidents. episodes. sit
uations and suggestions. some of them
bearing the germs Of tales vet to be
told or tales to be imagined, all OF
them, how ever. sparkling with the wit
that has made Watson's work always
welcome be it. long or short. There
are thirty of them. from THE Tom
boy" story which gives the work its
title down TO an extremely funny ac-
count OF how Willie .Porter's hoop
threw the entire village OF Dering into
utter confusion. In a few cases the
same characters reappear. but there
are no definite relationships between
any of these tales Some are subtle
bits Of conversation. philandering en-
terprises and sentimental excursions
that get nowhere. These threescore
of trifies are SO well done that any
one OF them can be reread second or
third time with enjoyment.
