ONION SCORES BIG VICTORY
County Attorney Refuses Warrant for
Man on Woman's Complaint
Against Vegetable

lola, kan.-The onion won a legal
Skirnish here when County Attorney
Forrest refused to issue a warrant for
Willis Thompson, charged by Miss
Lucyetia Campbell, a neighbor, with
permitting the cooking Of onions in
his home, the odors from which tiled
ner rooms, causing her great discom-
fort. Miss Campbell declared that
the odor If onions was poisonous to
her, and upon that contention she
based her demand that Thompson be
arrested.
The state of Kansas will not lend
it's aid to Danish the onion from the
home," said the county attorney.
Miss Campbell's remedy is an lnjunc-
ton issued in the district court, if
she can obtain one"
Mr.. Forrest paid nigh tribute to
the healthful properties of the onion,
quoting Hetty Green as saying she at

GRAVE: POST FOUND
WOMEN PLAN A UNIQUE BANK
Financial institution With Only
Their Sex Employed.

New YOrk-AccOrding to proposals
and plans now under consideration
here, New York in the near future is
likely to have the country's first suf
fragette bank, real financial institu-
ton which will operate like any other
except fer the fact that from president
down to Office boy, or rather from
presidentess to Office girl. only women
will be concerned with its manage
ment ard operation.
Many attempts and proposals have
been made before by women identified
with the suffrage movement both here
and in England to start such an insti-
tuition. but for one reason or another
they have failed to be productive of
any definite results.
The ome.l behind the present plan,
however, believe that this time they
will be successful. Just what the plan
is they refuse to disclose until the big
meeting at which it is to be made pub
lie later in the month AS its back
ers are women of wealth. there is
much curiosity as to just what they
propose to do.
1t is pointed out, however. that If
they adhere to the plan of having no
man connected with it, the bank will
be unique in more ways than one.
since 1t will have board of directors
none Of whom serve on any other
bank directorate-that is, unless Mrs.
Hetty Green is made director-and
will thus be free from the criticism of
interlocking directors
OF course if a few of the city's
more prominent bankers should be
asked t. serve. this claim to distinc-
financial circles are expressing consid-
cradle curiosity over the plans for
real Sufiragette bank.

and that some live to tell the tale is
due, in most cases, entirely to the
generous aid which guides and expert
enced mountaineers are ever ready to
give those in difficulties, and who
seem anxious to throw away their
lives.
Here is case in point: Two friends
started on one of the most difficult
climbs in the Alps, and we're very
much annoyed to find, on leaving the
hut at midnight. that they were fol-
lowed by a solitary climber. This man
kept close behind them, and for few
hours managed quite we'll, but when
they were halfway up the peak in a
very dangerous part he shouted out
to them in German that he was very
tired. They came down to him, and
as he was so obviously incapable of
going on alone, they were reluctantly
obliged to tie him on to their rope.
His fatigue, however, was so great
that they had to turn back an hour
from the summit, and on two occa-
sions he very nearly pulled them
out of place by slipping down the
slope Fortunately they are first-class
climbers, and were able to hold him
by the rope, or the three of them

THOUGHT MAKES THE HOME
Most Liberal Expenditures, Without
Tastes, Can Not Be Made to Produce
the Charm Desired.

1t is not necessarily the large and
wealthy house that is the prettiest;
the cottage may far exceed it in
beauty and present the most perfect
picture of home, whereas the mansion
may be cold and formal. Most of us
visit the house that never appears to
be lived in, where there is no charm,
no taste, no warmth; yet the furni-
ture is good, there is no lack of money
to keep up a good appearance, and
there are servants to do the neces-
sary work.
The woman who insists on her
rooms always looking pretty win
spend little money each week on
flowers or pot ferns. Small laurels
in pots look we'll and last we'll; they
also make economical window plants.
OF course a window-box should find
a place on the ground floor sill if not
above, and be filled with evergreens In
winter and flowers in summer. Blue
tiles or green tiles look we'll In fow-
er boxes.
Pictrue frames are often allowed
to hang on the walls in a disgraceful
condition - especially white-painted
frames, and those can so easily be
freshened up with coat of enamel
paint, which should not be stinted
when required
Then, again, the material of uphol-
stored furniture is sometimes as much
soiled as the picture frames, and it's
unfit condition is a great offense to
the eye. 1t may not be convenient to
re-upholster, bu at any rate chintz or
cretonne loose covers could be pro-
vided.
Let all draperies used in the house
be clean, otherwise there will be a
lack Of freshness about the house.
Send chair and soft covers and cur
tains to the wash before their soil
ed condition is over-aggressive, and
bear the same rule In mind with re-
gard to cushion covers.
The pretty home is the one that is
clean and tasteful.

as one of the most extraordinary. He
and five others were suddenly over
whelmed by an avalanche when cross
ing gully, whereupon Mr.. Gosset,
who was completely buried in the
snow, managed by supreme endeavors
to work his way out, partly by the
use of his hands and partly by melt
ing the snow with his breath when
his hands were well-nigh powerless.
Two of the remaining five were killed.
That, too, was a dangerous predtca-
ment from which a climber was once
rescued. The man, unaccompanied,
had scaled mountain, and whilst cut
ting his way along the ice slopes in
returning, slipped and fell into a Gre
vase, alighting. on ledge some sixty
feet below. There he was utterly
powerless without aid to escape from
the cleft. A search" party was or
gained, and when the supposed VIC
tim was discovered he was standing
coolly on his narrow platform smok-
ing his pipe.
Questioned as to his hope of deliy-
erance, he merely replied, "Oh.
knew that I should be rescued when
you found that l did not return I'D
to time!"

GOLD PUT TO STRANGE USES
People Of India Hoard Precious Metal
and Otherwise Divert It From
Commerce.

Curious and interesting facts regard
ing midas passion for gold, and the
strange uses to which the natives put
the precious metal, are contained in a
report issued by the great bullion mer-
chants, Messrs. Samuel Montagu &
Co. After mentioning the fact that
last year India imported gold bars
worth $4,000, 900, as we'll as 100000
900 in sovereigns, Messrs. Montagu
state that, as contrast to the saw
ings of France, which are utilized to
promote trade, those Of India are
buried or boarded. AT present near

South Africa Is by s fresh digging
