GOV. HODGES ORDERS INQUIRY.
To Learn of Charge That State Grain
inspectors Got Brides.

Topeka, Kan. May 24.-An investi-
cation into charges of bribery made
against inspectors of the state grain
department was ordered today by Gov
ernor Hodges, who, in letter to At
torney General Dawson, asked that the
persons making the charges be called
upon to testify.
According to reports placed before
the governor, e. r. Smith, a grain
dealer of Greensburg, at a meeting of
grain men at Dodge City Thursday
asserted that the grain inspectors OF
Kansas City had been bribed in order
to grade grain low in the interest of
the grain spectators. Wheat that
was graded No. at Greensburg was
graded No. 4 at Kansas City, Mr..
Smith is said to have charged.
In his ldetter to the attorney gen.
eral, Governor Hodges said:
You are aware that no appoint
ments have been made in the grain
department by this administration but
that every man on the payroll was
placed there by my predecessor and
these charges reflect upon his APP
pointees. This is too serious a charge,
however to be allowed to go without
some attention. Justice to the de-
partment and to my distinguished pre-
decessor demands that we be in po-
sition to officially deny such state
ments or, if such state of affairs
exists, as is charged, that the guilty
parties may be punished
please subpoena the parties MAX
ing the charges and make a thorough
investigation in order that justice may
be done and the good name of the
state protected"

REALISM CARRIED TO EXCESS
Lack of Drapery Would Seem to Have
Furnished Excellent Incentive for
Maternal Slipper.

A mother in Worcester, Mass, who
had orthodox views, had told her chill
dren the Garden of Eden story. The
children were greatly impressed. One
afternoon, returning from town, the
mother found the palms and ferns had
disappeared from the veranda. Going
into the darkened living-room she saw
one of the boys, minus clothing, re-
clining under big fern, while anoth-
er, equally clothesless, was standing by
palm. They enlightened her by ex-
planning that they were playing Adam
and Eve in the garden.
At that minute her youngest boy,
not three, came into the room as ma
ture had first given him to the world,
except that he wore a silk hat on his
head and carried cane
And pray who are you?" asked the
mother.
The little one looked up at her and
smiled as he said: Il am the Lord
bod, Almighty walking in the darden

CONTRASTS THE BEST MATES
Quiet Men Should Wed VIvaelous
Women, an English Opinion,
Expressed In Print.

Does the average man prefer the
demure, coy kind Of girl or the
bright and vivacious girl-in all proba-
bility flirt-and which kind of a
girl makes the better wife?" This Is
the question on which a modern girl
asks opinion through a London news
paper.
Il have read in your paper many
opinions on the modern girl given by
young men," she writes, but | have
not found an answer to the question
which countless other girls besides
myself would like answered.
1T seems to me that the average
man marries the coy, quiet girl, but
after few years Of married life is
apt to seek the society of the viva
cious girl. very often at the expense Of
his wife's happiness"
Here are some opinions of London
people,:
Rev. C. H. Grundy. vicar of st.
Peters, Brockley, believes in the at
traction of the opposite.
Il think the quiet man generally
marries, and generally should marry,
the vivacious GIRL" he says, land the
bright, vivacious man, on the con-
trary, prefers and gets on better with
his opposite.
Some Of the quietest men have
known" he said, thoroughly enjoy
the ,vivaciousness OF their wives.
Men like contrasts. You don't
want a replica of yourself. You want
variety, A wife who is your double
doubles your dullness.
1.-The best wife is the contrast wife,
and If you are both alike your home is
dull and monotonous."
