High School.

Norton. Kan. Nov. 20.-A freshman
in the Norton County High school and
his deadly cigarette has caused q
greater controversy in the school than
has ever occurred in the history of
that educational Institution since its

The innocent first year youngster
came trotting up the hill with his
books under his arm and at the cor

school on one side of the street, a
lady teacher on the other noted the
cigarette, the boy and the girl.
At the school building the cigarette
was thrown away and the two passed
inside the building.
The teacher discussed the matter
with the girls and in the end a number
Of young ladies OF the institution
agreed on the following:

They were to give no explanation,
but were to make silence q specially
by giving the aforesaid young man a
big stare and then go on their way
alone. A hint to the wise would be
It has been the habit for ages for
the young fellows to manage some
way to walk up that hill with their
''steadies.'
Something went wrong with this
oldtime custom. The ''steadies" stood
firm on their declaration. Only the
members OF the Norton County High
school football team seemed to be
exempt from a general inclination on
the part Of all the girls to smile. or
give the cold shoulder. the marble
heart, and the icy glare to the other
boys.
OF course the reason was soon made
known and then the trouble started.
The free-born young American ctti-
zens Of Norton county felt that their
constitutional privileges were being
imposed upon. They accepted the
defy.
Later the Norton Telegram office
was waited upon by a delegation. who
had held a meeting on the commons.
The publication Of the following reso-
luton was requested and the usual
fee for advertising rendered. The
resolution read as follows:

Ho! For the Bay Of Shima!
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1913. by Frank Cranei

Come, sisters, let us go to the Bay of
Shima, on the Pacific coast of Japan.
Why bother about England and the
United States, where males are tyrants
and women voteless? Over yonder the
women do all the work, which consists in
diving for pearls. while the men loaf.
The women spend ten hours daily in the
water, earning a living. The men sit
around and smoke.
1 have always wanted to have my wife
30 into business and support the family.
Unfortunately, she will not do it. L must
perforce work for living.
Think of having young woman folks
run boarding house or a millinery shop
while you just bask In the sun, out in
front, with your chair tilted up against
the wall. There you can gossip with
your neighbors, joke with the other
about politics, while from within comes
the sound of sewing machine or the odOr
of ham and eggs. You are called in to
eat. After dinner you go down to the
post office and argue some more. Is 1t
not an ideal existence? Can You wonder
that We favor women's rights?
And then have you ever noticed the
rare devotion a wife pays to shiftless
wonderful. No decent, Woodworking man
can hope for the Newfoundland-dog like
affection which the drunken loafer re-
ceives from his wife.
/ knew a little dressmaker once who
had as trifling lout Tor husband as
you could find in a days journey. She
worked her fingers to the bone tor hiiE.
She labored twenty-five hours Il cay for
him. She fed him, clothed him. codtTied
him and shielded him. Every once III Z
while he would playfully kick her, o.
pinch her black and blue. Once he pias-
tered piece of pumpkin lie which did
not suit him all over her face. But that
was merely his way. George was So
funny. And then, You know, he wasn't
very well. He usually had some disease
up his sleeve in case he was threatened
with job. And how she loved him!
In primeval days men did no work.
They hunted and rested. Their business
was killing. The women titled the fields
and ground the corn. Alas, those good
old times are no more. We live in a de-
cadent era, when men are presumed to
labor and women to play bridge. AS
consequence we are not loved with that
fierce emotion women in early ages be-
slowed upon us.
Therefore, let us go to the Bay Of
Shima and set up our hut. lie In the warm
sands and watch the women dive for
pearls. When they grow tired of that we
can make them go up to the house and
get us something to eat.
Them brethren, we shall be loved.
