the help of the progressives will go farther towards electing Hinman than straight republican nomination will go towards electing the district at torney. If Mir. Whitman should be beaten it will be because of this feel- ing and not because of any belief that Mir. Hinman would make any better city official than he. The reform work that MT.

The Old-Timer's Lament,
Parsons, Ks, Sum-


 This department has waited pa tiently for the first rumblings of the grasshopper scare stories in third district exchanges, but thus far not a warning message has been sent out by the department of agriculture or the State Agricultural college. The farm experts may fall down on their jobs and perhaps the farmers are too busy threshing their wheat and oats, and looking after their crops, to wor- ny about the hoppers, but there is no excuse for the newspaper correspond ents. They are plainly. remiss in their duties and are clear off their jobs. It doesn't seem like summer in Kan sas unless a train is stopped some- where and the crew shovels the pests off the track so that the train can proceed; and we won't be certain we've had warm weather, chiggers and chinch bugs unless these are fol- lowed by the annual "scarehead' in the big city dailies from somewhere out in the short grass, under a Con- cordia, Cottonwood Falls, or Dodge City date line, telling about the clouds of hoppers that obscured the sun at noon day for an hour or more. For old times sake, at least, it would seem that the jayhawker hoppers de- serve honora ble mention in the writ ten reports of the biggest and best year Kansas has ever had.

nation and commotion follow, as the Illinois members somehow ascertain what Donovan has done, and they rush in to show themselves as pres ent.
 He recently surveyed the New Eng land minority and saw only the faith full Congressman Greene of Massa- chusetts present to represent them, and he called the attention of the house to the fact, commenting Greene. Somehow or other he had overlooked Congressman Gillett, but Gillett was not going to have any such record stand against him and he called Donovan to behold his presence, which Donovan said he was glad to do, but that he felt con- strained to note that Gillett was not as faithful in his attendance as he would like that great minority leader to be.
 So 1t has come about that before members of the house elect to go to the baseball game they visit Donovan on the floor to ask if they may go to the game on promise that he will not call quorum, thus showing them absent, and if he declines they purr very sweetly around him and stroke his back very gently and sometimes they succeed But if he says he will demand a call of the house if neces- sary, they do not go to the ball game or leave the capitol.

this time swimming the river, leaving the others yelling on the opposite side
 and as soon as the swimmers reached the shore they were put on the tapir s trail and galloped after it, giving tongue. Tn d couple of minutes we saw the tapir take to the water far up- stream, and after it we went as fast as the paddle could urge us through the water. We were not in time to head it, but fortunately some of the dogs had come down to the rivers S edge at the very point where the tapir was about to land. Two or three of the dogs were swimming. We were more than half the breadth of the riv- CT away from the tapir, and somewhat downstream, when it dived. It made an astonishingly long swim beneath the water this time, almost as if it had been a hippopotamus,. for it passed completely under our canoe and rose between us and. the other bank. I shot it, the bullet going into it's brain, while it was thirty or forty yards from shore. 1t sank at once.

Colonel Roosevelt Kills a Tapir.

(Theodore Roosevelt in Scribner's.)
 The tapir was coming downstream at great rate, only its queer head closing rapidly on it, the paddlers ut tering loud cries. AS the tapir turned slightly to one side or the other the long. slightly upturned snout and the strongly pronounced arch of the crest along the head and upper neck gave it a marked and unusual aspect. I could not shoot, for it was directly in line denly it dived, the snout being slightly curved downward as it did so. There was no trace of it; we gazed eagerly in all directions; the dugout in front came alongside our canoe and the pad .dlers rested, their paddles ready. Then we made out the tapir clambering up the bank. It had dived at right angles swum under water to the very edge of the shore. rising underline overhang- ing tree branches at a point where a drinking g-trail for game led down a break in the bank. The branches par tially hid it and it was in deep shadow so that it did rot offer very good shot. My bullet went too far back, and the tapir disappeared. in the forest at gallop as if unhurt, although the bullet really secured 1t by making it unwilling to trust. to its speed and leave the neighborhood of the water.

AntiSuffrage Notes.

 Antisuffragists will be interested in
 the observation of a Boston business
 man, who has just finished tour through certain of the western states where the battle for an amendment is to be decided at the polls this fall. somehow the new voting woman does not appeal to me- he said Tn the collection of signatures for their
 petitions. the women already seem to be losing some of that indefinable charm which has for centuries helped to make the world better. Before l went west, I was, let us say, indif- ferent on woman suffrage. I regard ed it as a rather amusing and trivial struggle between two factions of women. l knew that on the suffrage side I was continually reading the same names in the newspapers, and I assumed, and rightly I guess, that they were the professional paid work CTS. But when I found young girls standing on street corners soliciting every man who came along for sigma lures and receiving and exchanging loose remarks because the signatures seemed so precious, I had cold chill at the thought of my wife or my at some stage going the same service ins Massa- rhusetts. I saw the young girls blush time and time again at what was said to them. but still they held out the paper for the signature. one young girl told me she would like to leave her corner, but they were under strict rules, and she had no right to leave unless relieved
