Money Value of Women.

II you are a married womanr and
were asked to tell just what you we're
worth in hard cash to your husband,
what figure would vou name? The
question Is not a fa1Defful one by Eny
means, but has been a subject OF IN

and her three children were seriously
injured. The woman's husband sued
the Dealers for damages, and the jury
awarded him $25 for the loss Of his
wife and $zs9.71 per ctrfid on account
of injuries.
The def sndants evidently thought
that a woman was not worth $50, for
they took an appeal from the verdict

Pediuree of the Horse.

Biologists have finally completed a
distinguished genealogy for the horse.
Here is the list, with the geological
eras in which each lived, as arranged
by Prof. w. N. Rice:
The line of descent begins with
Hyraeotherfum and Eophippus Of the
lower Eocene age. Then follow Pro-
torohippus and Orohippus Of the mid
die Eocene, Epihippus Of the upper
Eocene, Mesohippus Of the O~figocene,
Anchftherium Of the lower Mtoceno,
Parahippus, Protohippus and Pifohip-
pus Of the middle and upper MiOcene,
and finally Equus of the Pliocene and
the Quaternary, from which the mod
ern horse directly descends. Hip
parton and Hippidium represented an.
cient side branches that died without
d~esceniants.

gloom always depressing-men have
despaired in darkness and taken their

David VI. Null VANE
An Editorial on His ReSurrec-
ton From Political Tomb.
PrOgressives Wrote Obituary
Too Soon on a Live One.

The Kansas City Journal prints the
following editorial on the appointment
o. D. w. Mulvane of Topeka as man
aser of the Taft campaign:
Enemies of David w. Mulvane of
Kansas had him dead, incinerated and
his ashes cast to the four winds of
heaven. But now comes the imperturb-
able Dave and with cat-like persistency
not only insists upon being very much
alive but is actually appointed to the
Important office of managing President
TaftS Western campaign, with head
quarters in Chicago. That Dave is not
dead is attested by number of things
among which is the anguish of those
who had thought in their haste that a
few words of abuse and misrepresenta-
ton would annihilate him.
fMulvane is political anomaly. He
is the rarest of rare politicians in that
he is not after any kind of job. Time
and again has Dave been invited to sit
at the table and partake of the fruits Of
victory, but he has always declined IN
favor of some other Republican. He
has been one of the best leaders the Re-
publican party has ever had in the
West, but he has never been a candi-
date for any kind of office. appointive
o. elective. Naturally this attitude has
aroused the suspicion of some of the old
political warhorses who, whatever their
patriotic motives may have been, de-
r1anded fodder.
I'm the national counsels of the Re-
publican party Dave Mulvane has won
a high place. He is of the stuff that
leaders are made Of In the first place,
he is honest. That in itself condemns
him in the eyes of Kansas progress
sive' leaders. The Stubbs crowd can
meet political crooks on more or less
familiar ground. But an honest man in
DC litics takes the 'reformers' off their
feet. They don't know how to handle
him. To shout for the square deal and
decent politics is one thing. But to
practice the arts of political honesty is
different. Even the sleek and pious
Henry Allen circles around Dave Null
vane and wonders just how to take
him.
Roosevelt organ in this part of the
country had a story of the passing Of
Lave Mulyane. Dave helped the re-
porter to write his obituary and there
was a ring of genuine sadness in the
story of how Dave had been over
wbe1med by the progressive crowd in
Chicago and in Kansas. Even those
vsne admitted at the obsequies that the
Kansas man was successful, that ne
was on the square. that he was a gem
tleman and that he played the game
above the table.
But if Dave was ever politically dead
he has enjoyed a marvellous resurrec-
ton. For he is now a bigger man in
tn. honor came to him entirely unso-
licited. For Mulvane never asked for
anything. He simply made himself in

organization and direction. No doubt
