Laura Wisdom, the noted dip and
"highwayma'am," shows a tendency to
do what little she can toward assisting
Governor Stubs to keep her out of the
penitentiary. She undoubtedly realizes
that his duties, right at the end of a
long, busy incumbence, are more or less
arduous, and it is up to those who have
profited by his kindness to assist him
in every way possible,-even when the
assistance entails hopping through a
window to relieve him of the task of
Issuing another pardon or parole.
Why is it, that the woman heading
the big crowd waiting to crush onto
a p-a-y-e car, either digs up four
pennies,-from different parts of her
make-up,-or Submits a 50 bill for
change and then counts it twice, get
ting different totals each count, before
dropping 'jit'' in the box and passing
''up front, please?''
The Oklahoma ditch-digger who

From his New Years card, one might
gather that friend Herb Cavaness ex-
poets to be thrown out of the Chanute
postoffice before long. But they can't
throw him out of the Chanute Tribune
office, and he should be cfeered by the
noble truth that it is lots more fun
to read a galley of proof than it is to
read lot of other peoples post cards.

ENDING WAR.

ENDING WAR.
Humanitarians have for many years
been trying to devise means to enc
war. The Hague tribunal is the out
come of a concerted effort made by
peace advocates representing practical.
ly every civilized people on earth. But
the existence of The Hague tribunal
has not meant the end of war. Tine
bloody conflicts of the past year bear
witness to its futility. What it has
not done there is no logical prospect
of it's being able to do in the future.
But over in -1ustria the people them
selves, the body of the nation, upon
whom the burden of war falls in all
its horror and suffering, seem to be-
on the way to a solution of the pro-
blem. The Austrian government wants
to make war on Servia, provided Ser
via doesn't behave as Austria wants
her to. Mobilization and other war
measures are under way. Austria's
working classes do not want a war
with Servia. They have no desire to
kill their Servian neighbors, nor to be
killed by them merely because states
men can't agree. So they are doing
two things-they are holding anti
mobilization demonstrations all over
the country, and they have declared
and put into effect a general boycott.
They are spending no money except
for necessaries of life. The demon
STATIONS are so serious as to alarm
the government They have become
almost revolutions. The boycott para
lyzed the holiday trade of Vienna and
other cities, and drove merchants des-
perate. It's influence has demoralized
the stock exchange. Business has sim
ply been knocked on its beam ends.
1t doesn't seem that any government
will go to war while it's own people
are on the verge of rebellion, and its
commerce reduced to chaos. The Aus
TRAN people seem to have hit on some
thing worth while.-Wichita Beacon.
PEACE THE THING.
Now there is complaint that the
United States lags in army aviation.
Well, the United States can afford to.
The war that has not yet been ended
in Turkey has not shown that army
aviation has amounted to anything.
The nations of Europe make war their
chief trade and are quick to adopt any
thing that will be of advantage in war.
they have been experimenting with air
ships for two or three years and. it is
safe to say that had the airship at
tanned any considerable degree of eff
ficiency in the prosecution Of war IL
would have cut some figure in this
Balkan scrap. The United States is
not a warlike nation and it can afford
to allow other nations to develop means
of making effective war. The instru-
mentS of peace are the things Uncle
Sam is most anxious to perfect.-Leav-
enworth Times.

Care Of Hanging Baskets.

All hanging baskets, no matter how
large, should be taken down at least
once each week and soaked in a tub
of water ten or twenty minutes. Once
each week they should also be watered
with a pot when in position. Once
each month every basket should be
given some plant food: liquid manure
is excellent for the purpose, though
soluble fertilizers may either be mixed
INTO the soil in the dry state or dis
solved in the water in which the
plants get their weekly persion. Most
baskets suffer from lack of thorough
watering, but If above directions are
followed, satisfactory results will GER
tainly follow.

sun.
Three little pigs have been adopted
by mother dog here TO vake the place
OF her lost puppies. The mother cares
for her foeter family az IL they were
her own.
About thrco weeks ago Harry Wet
more. who lives near Paris. discovered
that three pigs OF different lltters were
about TO starve to death. He took
them home and placed them In an out
house. intending to raise them by
hand. A shepherd dog raising litter
OF five pups, three OF which had been
given away. was in tho house.
"A day or so later he went to feed
the little founding pigs and found
that the shepherd mother had remoY.
ed them to her bed and was nursing
them with her litter OF puppies. He
started To take them away To feed
them. but the dog resented this so
vehemently he left them alone. Since
then they have had tho same fore as
the puppies. and are In thriving
condition. The pigs are about three
weeks old. and the puppies about six
weeks. The piss are very fond of
their foster mother. who In turn is
seemingly more fond of them than
she Is ol her puppies.
