three suit cases, the hat, the flowers
and triumph at really getting on after

After they had rolled along for an
hour he admitted that little rest ana
change from the Office was good
thing and that he really should enjoy
the wedding and seeing all the reia-
tives. Then Genevieve got out some
cards and they played penuchle. Tnen

Who is Not
a LaWbreaker?

Someone has hunted mp q OatCn
of laws that are generally disre-
garded. The list is as follows:
It is unlawful to sell any arti-
Gle, other than drugs on Sunday.
The man who sells newspapers,
cigars, ice cream, bread or any
other article is a lawbreaker in
Kansas. There has never been a
prosecution under this law.
To touch or move an automo-
bile standing on the street is
against the law. People do it
every day.
Any person who works on Sum
day except household work OF
daily necessity, is lawbreaker.
This law is violated BY practical
~ every citizen of the state hab-
itually.
If you play cards on Sunday
you are a lawbreaker.
In Kansas, any game OF chance
Is a felony. If you walk into
store and drop a nickle into a
slot machine you are guilty OF a
felony and so is the man who
owns the machine. In thousands
of stores in Kansas are slot ma
chimes where men play for prizes;
usually cigars.
To overwork or overdrive a
horse is unlawful, or any sort OF
cruelty to a horse. This law is
so habitually violated that every
day we hear complaints about it.
But no one is arrested.
It is unlawful to neglect to
provide shelter for cattle during
bad weather. Cattle are every
where fed without shelter; every
cattle feeder in the state could be
sentenced to Imprisonment one
year under this law.
It is unlawful in Kansas to sell
tickets in any rattle. The man
who raff1es a gun, or a watch or
buggy is running the risk of the
penitentiary. Children who sell
chances in church raffles are vio-
lating the law.
Hunting on Sunday is unlaw-
full, yet thousands of men hunt
every Sunday. 1t is unlawful to
hunt without a license, yet COM
paratively few hunting licenses
are issued. 1t is unlawful to
hunt at any time on another
mans place without his consent.
This law is violated by every
man>who hunts at all.
70 sell skinned milk or milk
that is sour or watered milk is
unlawful.

Getting Started

Genevieve is always In hurry.
To only possible thing that, accord
g. to her friends, could prevent her
4 m hurrying would be a state OF
G leral paralysis.
One Of the contributory causes to
h,r normal state Of being in a hurry
is that she does not make up her mind
urlll the last possible minute. That
WIS why 1t was not until her husband
ha6 pushed back his chair from the
bre ckrast table that she suddenly ex-
cle.med: II think we'll go down to
Springfield. ILL.,, to Cousin Nettie's
wedding today, after all. The train
leaves at II o'clock and WE'LL get IN
with plenty of time to rest and DRESS
for the wedding is not till eight
o'clock"
"All right" said her husband.
you'd better drive down In the cleo
trio and pick me up at the office. III
have a boy from the office get the
car at the station and take 1t home"
Genevieve started from the house
with plenty of time and with three
suit cases blocking up all the interior
of the electric that she did not &C.
cupy herself. To be sure. she had q
few errands, such as stopping at the
milliner's for her latest hat, getting
a bracelet at the jewelers. and picking
out some flowers to wear that night
but she knew that she, could do these
errands in hurry. When she arrived
at her husbands Office he was just
able to see the tip of her nose above
the luggage and the boxes beneath
which she was apparently buried.
Drive on" he ordered. I'LL take
a street car. Why didn't you bring
along a truck to carry all that stuft?"
Geneyieve engineered her car
through the perilous way to the rail-
road station and there waited for her
husband. As the big clock pointed
to one minute past train time he came
rushing up. red and breathless. HIS
street car had been blocked. They
had, indeed. missed the train.
1t was a sad ride home. Genevieves
husband had to go along to drive the
car, in consequence of Genevieve's be-
ing dissolved in tears over the fiasco'
Her grief seemed to be equally d.
yided between sorrow at missing the
wedding and woe over not being able
10 show off her new evening gown
When she grew tired Of telling her
husband that It was his fault, he told
her that it was hers, until she grew
rested and could resume the theme.
BY the time Genevieve reached
home she had revived somewhat.
Rushing to the telephone, she called
I'D three railroad Offices, sent two tele-
grams and got Springfield on the long
distance phone. Then, just as her
husband reached his office, she
phoned him.
"There's a train on a different road
going at $780," she informed him
"I've phoned for tickets to be ready
and have made all arrangements. All
you've got to do is" .
81 WON'T" her husband interrupted
In the loud determined tone that men
use when they are MORALLY afraid
they are going to give in. Il wouldn't

"And I'll meet you right by the big
gate" Geneyieve ended as calmly as
though he had not spoken.

"And If we miss the wedding well
be there in time for the reception
added GenevieTe, sweetly. "Goodpy'
dear. At 2:15, remember"
But" roared her husband as she
hung up the receiver.

HIS CAREER SHORT
Potato Rows Were Long and
HOIlander Tired of Work.
Decided to Adopt Crime as His
AvOcation--Arrested.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 22.-Cornelius
Haasakker, % years old and native Of
Holland, charged by the police with
various crimes, was said today by the
officers to have told them he had be-
come tired of hoeing potatoes and had
determined to become a bandit.
According to the police, Haasakker
was employed until Saturday noon on
a ranch The heat and the long rows
of potatoes he had to hoe started both
perspiration and thought. When noon
came and he realized he had earned
only IS cents, he made up his mind
the officers said, he tod them, to try
crime as means of getting ricn more
quickly. He changed his clothes, armed
himself and came to Los Angeles. He
waited until after nightfall, so the Of
ficers said and in less than two hours
robbed three houses, one Chinese, held
up two automobile parties, attempted
to hold up two others and had driven
one inoffensive citizen off his own
porch.
Haasakker obtained in his two hours,
the police said, one pair of opera
glasses, minus one lens, and an apron,
a red sweater, a pair of gloves and
$3.50 in cash.
He was arrested in the center of the
business district later in the evening
after his description had been telephon-
ed the police station by one of his al
legged victims.

HE RUNS FERRY BOAT.
Thirteen Years Ago SockaIexis Was
Big League Wonder.

Bangor, Maine, July 22.-Sockalexis,
one time the big league sensation in
baseballdom is now running a little
ferry on the Peninsula river in the vii
lage of Oldtown. Maine. He is not
the Sockalexis of old. His step is not
firm, though there is still that hint of
steel spring muscles that gave him once
the name of "Deerfoot of the dia-
mond.''
Thirteen years ago Sockalexis was a
magic name The history of the famous
Cleveland player who played under
Patsy Tebeau was common knowledge
but so quickly does fame pass that
today he is seldom spoken of among
ball players or patrons of the game.
Sockalexis when asked the other
day what he thought of the present
game said:
Il was just reading the account of
the double header between Jimmy
Callahan's White Sox and the Boston
team. was sorry to see Jimmy lose
the two games. I remember when L
played with Holy Cross we met the
Springfield team. At that time CAL
lahan was the pitcher for Springfield
and my real start in baseball was in
that game. I made three two-baggers
oft his delivery and Jimmy was some
pitcher too.
Il like to read baseball news. That
is about all I do in my idle moments.
I think I will try to go to the worlds
series if the Giants and Red Sox win
the pennant"

PAN-AMERCAN CHORUS
Frohnan viii Go Into the Interior

New York, July 22-The style in
chorus girls has changed. according to
Charles Frohman, for New York has
Wearied of the blase, "madeup'' New
York girls with STACEY faces and
STACEY figures. In the future his mu-
steal comedies will have only girls who
have never been on Broadway before.
He will inaugurate this new depar-
ture from time worn stage custom by
selecting the chorus for THE Girl
From Montmarte'' from every state in
the Union. Three of the young WoTn-
en-, fresh, ingenious and truly stage
struck have arrived from Atlanta,
Memphis and Lansing. Mich. More
will arrive today and before the end

completed his "Al American beauty

everything was right but the chorus,
which he said looked just the same as
every chorus that he had presented for
the past twenty years.
1.-The difficulty with choruses. Mr..
Frorhman believes, is that they lack
individuality. The girls may dress diff
ferently, have different features and
eyes and hair but they all look alike.
The Broadway type has come to pre-
vail. There is no freshness or ingen-
iousness and the public is tired of
them.

CAT MARS FIRST RIDE.
But One Official Noted White Spots ON
Animal.

Chicago, July 22.-Several officials
of the Chicago Railways company,
who were passengers on the first
street car to pass through the new
Lasalle street tunnel, discussed the
probable significance of a black cat
running through the giant bore a few
minutes before the start of the car.
There was argument for both good
and bad luck among the officials con-
corning the action of the cat. Afre
General Manager Williston Fish point
ed out that this cat had a white spot
on its breast, any fear that might nave
existed toward bad luck was dispelled.
The trip was made without accident
and several other cars followed in a
similar manner.
The new tunnel, which was built TO
relieve congestion on the river bridges,
is 1000 feet from one entrance to the
other and cost $1,400,00O. 1t is con-
sidered one of the best examples of
engineering skill in the country.
