Kansas State Normal Employment
Bureau

The Employment Bureau of the
Kansas State Normal School at EN-
poria has made a remarkable growth
and development in the past year. 1t
has furnished the means to large
number of students desiring to earn
part or all their expenses while in
school. 1t is estimated that at least
95 per cent of the young men in at
tendance at the Normal school work
a part of their way through school.
while 30 per cent are entirely Self-Sup-
porting, earning enough to defray all
expenses including clothes, board.
room, laundry, tuition and incidental
expenses. Fred E. Weed of the Nor
NAL Y. NJ. g. A. is in charge of the
Employment Bureau and devotes a
considerable part of his time to this
work. Calls come from the country
for hands to work on the farm or for
small job work in diaries and wood
lots, while in the city calls are receiv-
ed tor young men to help afternoons
and Saturdays at various jobs. 1t is
no uncommon sight to see the young
men of the school waiting tables,
washing dishes, on laundry and paper
routes, cutting wood, raking lawns,
trimming trees, moving or transfer
ing household goods, doing chores,
newspaper reporting and corresponds
ence work, job typewriting. One col
ored student runs a shine parlor in
the basement of the school. Mr..
Weed, the manager of the employ
menu Bureau, is now organizing
housekeeping squads that will take
contracts for spring housekeeping
and viii agree to renovate a house
from cellar to garrett. They will also
take contracts for cleaning yards,
spading and planting gardens. With
these means at hand for obtaining an
education, there is no excuse for any
able-bodied young man in the state OF
Kansas to be without a college educa-
tion.

CONES TO KANSAS.
Lawrence Lebrcz1 Has Walked 1875, 900
Miles Turns to Farm After IS Years
of Federal Service

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Lawrence Lebron,
Chicago's oldest letter carrier, who
figured that in his A years of service
he has walked 195, 900 miles, gave up
his duties at the close of his DAYS
work yesterday to become farmer.
In addition, Lebron gave four years
more of his life to Uncle Sam, having
served as personal scout for General
Grant in the civil war.
Lebron was the first carrier to be
appointed to deliver mail on horse
back, in Chicago. He was assigned to
the South Side when the district was
sparsely settled. There were only As
carriers in Chicago when he began
work, and all of them, he says, were
chums. For the last 80 years he has
delivered mail to the merchants of
South Water street and yesterday
they presented him with a gold
watch.
He will remove to Kansas where he
owns a farm. He was born in East
India nearly 10 years ago.-Topeka
State Journal.
Larry Lebron owns some land in
Collyer township and from the above
we would infer that he will make
Trego county his future home.

Had you ever noticed that on near
ly all watch signs the hands are set
at S:1S, and do you know why this is
so? 1t is related that painter was
painting sign for New York jew
eler when the news of the assassina-
ton of Abraham Lincoln, April IA,
1865, was received in New York and
the jeweler ordered the painter to
point upon the dial the exact time
when the fatal shot was fired. which
was SIS, and SO it has continued
ever since. When you see a watch
sign notice if the hands are set at
SIS, and remember what happened
at that time.-Smith County Pho

The power of imagination is wond-
erful. You have heard the story of
course, of the hotel guest, who suffo-
eating, as he thought, for fresh air
in his room, kicked a hole in a mirror,
installing it in the dark for a window
which he couldn't open, and then re-
tired satisfied, breathing freely of
imaginary draughts. Well, l had
much the same experience the other
night. 1t is my habit, against the
rules, to raise a window in my Pull
man berth for l always want to
breath fresh air when i sleep. Well.
| raised the two glass windows which
usually shut out the air, and laid
down to pleasant dreams,'' breathing
freely. only to find in the morning
that on these northwestern roads the
Pullman, coaches are equipped with
three windows and that the third
one hadn't been opened at all, Which
reminds me of my Kentucky friend,
Colonel John +. Carter, of Topeka.
who was an honorsd guest when our
Kansas party went east to witness
the launching of the battleship Kan
sas. AS the great ship glided from
Its hugh fastenings into the Della

urday the committee on ways
and means of which I am a mem
Der, went to Lawrence to visit
the school and to see what we
could do for them with a few
dollars of the peoples money.
They informed US that they
thought they could use about
one million dollars to good adj
vantage for the next two years.
/ think the school Is all right and
doing good work but they are
extravagant and could get alor 6
with little less expense. We
told them we would do the best
we could. The committee is
composed of members from the
house and senate. The school
gave US dinner and 1t was fine.
We thought they could get along
with few less teachers, but we
will cut down some expenses for
them. l saw Croft, Burnham.

:. John II. iHonmann of this city, Sen
ator H. N. Benson of St. Peter and
the Nicollet county board of com
missfoners met this week to consider
the Minnesota Valley Scenic Highway
proposition. Since it was learned that
Ramsey county's appropriation of
$4,000 could not be used toward the
$4,000 which the government re-
quired for the road, it was neces.
sary to raise. that amount OF money
in some other way. Finally the
officers OF the Highway association
decided that each of the four coun-
ties in which the road lies. should
pay one.fourth of the amount. Nicol.
let has informally agreed to raise
its share, Blue Earth has done the
same and lie Suenr county has takoD
formal action to that effect. z
