GOLDEN WEDDING PAIR
RETURN TO OLD HOME
Names Carved When Sweet
hearts Still Remain,

Peabody, Kan.-For their golden
wedding Mr.. and Mrs. A. s. Lowther Of
this city went back to their old home in
the West Virginia hills, which they had
not visited since they were married,
fifty years ago.
They Joined the trek to the Kansas
pra1ries before the Santa Fe railroad
ran further west than Emporia, and the
trip to Marion county was made in
prairie schooner. Here the Lowthers
took up homestead and lived, rearing
eleven children, eight boys and three
girls, and in all that time they never
went back to their old home in Richie
county, not even to visit
But for the fiftieth anniversary of
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Lowther
decided to return to their old home.
They were sweethearts when the civil
war broke out For four years the
West Virginian wore the blue uniform
OF the federals. When peace was de-
clared he went back home, back to his
sweetheart, who had waited for him.
The trip to the altar followed. And
later they came west.
Writing from West Virginia to her
son Mort Of Peabody the other day,
Mrs. Lowther said everything had
changed back there. Even the hills had
got higher than fifty years ago. But
the old log cabin in which she was
reared was still there, and so were the
old well, the old oaken bucket and the
initials of herself and Mr.. Lowther
which had been carved fifty years ago.

over 240 new GAME
LAWS ENACTED BY IT, S.
Agricultural Department Press
es Campaign Of Protection.

Washington.-The department Of ag-
riculture has inaugurated a vigorous
campaign for the protection Of game
under the federal law and is aiding the
various states In carrying out their
statutes.
More than 24O new game laws were
enacted during 1915-a larger number
than In any previous year except 1911.
Forty-three states held regular legis-
lative sessions, and in all Of these
states except Arizona, Georgia and Ne
braska some changes were made in the
statutes protecting game. The largest
number Of new game laws passed in
any one state was sixty-one, in North
Carolina, but in California, Connect
cut, Maine, New Jersey, Oregon, Penn
sylvania and Wisconsin the number
reached ten or more. Several measures
were vetoed, including a general game
bill in Idaho, the first bill appropriating
the hunting license fund in Pennsylva-
MIA, bill protecting bears in Califor-
MIA and three sections of the game bill
in Washington state.
A number of bills were introduced
for the purpose Of harmonizing the
state laws on migratory birds with
the federal regulations. In at least
nine states changes were made which
brought the seasons into substantial
agreement - namely, California, Con-
necticut, Maine, Michigan, New Hamp-
shire, Tennessee and West Virginia.
In Illinois the seasons for all migra-
tory birds except coot and waterfowl
and In Washington for the smaller
shore birds were made to conform with
the regulations under the federal law.
Uniformity was also secured by pro-
visions In the laws of Connecticut,
Maine, New Mexico, North Dakota,
Washington and Wisconsin, prohibit
ing hunting between sunset and sun
rise. On the other hand, Delaware
adopted resolution opposing the mi
gratory bird law, and Ohio and Rhode
Island, which had harmonized their
seasons in 1914, changed the seasons
on waterfowl this year.
As a result Of the decision of the
supreme court Of the United States on
Jan. 10, 1914, sustaining the alien
hunting law Of Pennsylvania, legisla-
ton prohibiting aliens from hunting or
owning shotguns or rifles was enacted
in at least four Observation-Disclosures,
New Jersey, North Dakota and West
Virginia-but certain exceptions based
on property qualifications were made

ENFORCE GRASS WIDOW RULE

Civil Service Examiners Bar All Al.
plieants Of This Type.
Washington.-The rule of the post
Office department that mo grass wild
ows need apply" was adhered to by
the examiners of the civil service COM
mission in examining applicants for
government positions. This Is not
new rule, but it is being enforced more
strictly now than ever before.
The postof1ce department has had a
regulation for several years that barred
from its civil service roll married wo-
men. Grass widows are considered
married, but divorced women are not
and therefore are eligible.
Recently the postofflce department
and the civil service commission let up
on the grass widows somewhat. Wo-
men who were separated from their
husbands without fault of their own
and were struggling for living were
admitted, but the drawing Of the line
between those who were grass widows
Tor cause and those who were grass
widows by no fault Of their own be-
came a bone Of contention, and all
grass widows were barred.

Paris.-The restoration Of Major
Dreyfus to active command in the

country is at war with her arch enemy,
must be looked upon as the most COM
plete vindication of the French artil-
lery officer from the charge that at one
time he sold secrets to Germany. The
Dreyfus case has several times excited
France to the verge of revolution. It
has overthrown ministries, melted anti
Semitic fanaticism and provoked ex-
travagant glorifcation of the army.
Three conditions prevailing in France
in 1894 led to the accusing and con-
demning Of Captain Alfred Dreyfus for
treason on the allegation that he sold
military secrets to the German govern
ment
The first and underlying cause was a
violent agitation against Jews.
The second was the discovery that
somebody was furnishing information
about army plans to Colonel Schwarz-
koppen. the German military attache in
Paris.
The third was the personal unpopu-
larity of Captain Dreyfus among his
associates of the general staff.
These things, combined with ready
unscrupulousness on the part of GER

LATEST PHOTOGRAPH OF THOMAS A. EDISON
partner in it, Miller Reese Hutchinson,
his chief engineer and personal repre-
sentative, cOrrobOrated it.
Three or four years ago Mr.. Hutchi-
son fell victim to whooping cough.
He lost his voice temporarily. Mr.. Edi-
son, who began his career as a. tele-
graph operator, suggested to Mr..
Hutchinson that he learn the Morse code.
Mr.. Hutchinson did this, and in that
way they began a system of communi-
cation based upon it and operated by
tapping off the dots and dashes with
the fingers. AS they have been insep-
arabic companions they have used this
means Of talking with each other
great deal and have been able to ex-
change words even in shaking hands.
Mr.. Edison has never allowed his
deafness to bother him. In fact, he has
considered it an asset in his work, as
he has been able to move about in his
busy factory without being distracted
by its great noises.
But recently when the inventor went
to Washington to preside over the
destinies Of the new board Of which
Secretary Daniels made him the head.
he was embarrassed for the first time
at his loss Of hearing. But he took Mr..
Hutchinson with him and posted him at
his right and close by his side when
the board met. Mr.. Hutchison tapped
to Mr.. Edison everything that was said,
sometimes verbatim and sometimes
boiling it down into fewer words. By
means of this Mr.. Edison directed the
boards discussions and even found
time to flash back to Mr.. Hutchinson
comments upon what his assistant had
already interpreted to him.
Mr.. Hutchinson was able to send Morse
messages to Mr.. Edison at the rate of
thirty words minute. and as the
speeches were said to have been deliv-
cred In more or less deliberate fash
Ion he was able to keep up with almost
every sentence of every address.
Mr.. Edison and his assistant also
worked the Morse code with their eye
lids. With them quick wink means
dot and long wink means a dash,
and they talk to each other In this
way when they wish to convey mes
sage of private nature when they are
surrounded by other persons and are
too far apart for the finger tapping
method.
