Rocky Roads of China.

We all know the description of the

and much the same might be said
about the roads in China. There are
so-called roads, certainly, upon which
the people move about, but ! have
seldom met one that was any better
than the surrounding country, and
very, very often on this journey
met roads where it was ease and lux
ury to move off them on to the neigh
boring plowed field. The recipe for
a road there in the North seems to
be: Take piece of the country that
is really too bad to pillow or to use for
any agricultural purposes whatever.

TRAVELS ON HIS BACK
Legless Cripple Is Wheeling His Way
to California, He Says.

A Iegless cripple, riding on his back
in a cart, has been frequently seen on
the streets of Topeka during the past
two weeks. Being utterly helpless the
attention OF the Provident association
was called TO him and an investigator
looked up his case and found that he
has been travelling in such a condition
for the past IA years, refusing to stay
in institutions maintained to take care
of cripples as he likes the excitement
of being on the streets cared for by
charity.
The man stated that he was on his
way to California, where he intends to
live on his little farm, but the investi-
gator found that he had been in that
state once before. Investigations
made by the Rev. Benjamin Young,
pastor of the First Methodist church,
caused an evaporation of the plans
under way to hold a charitable con-
cert for his benefit.

NEW YORK SLOW
Earl Akers Has Poor Opinion
of Gotham Politicians.
"They Are Too Slow for PAIL
bearers" Treasurer Says.

New York politicians are too slow
to make good pallbearers. A New
York politician would die in a red hot,
rough and tumble political campaign
in Kansas That is the verdict OF
Earl Akers, state treasurer, who re-
turned today from ten days speak
ing campaign for the suffrage cause
in New York state.
Akers had great time during his
eastern pilgrimage, but he brought
home a poor opinion of the campaign
ing ability of the average New Yorker.
Back in staid old New York,
Akers said, "a campaign orator made
one or two speeches a day and they
called it a grilling fight" In Kan
sas, Akers is accustomed to speaking
ten or fifteen times a day when the
battle is at its height.
They think that one speech a day
is a full days work in a campaign.
laughed the Kansas treasurer. ION
Staten Island, though, they lot me cut
loose with four speeches in one night
But New York doesn't really know
what a hot fight means. They are
too slow to be good pallbearers.
The suffrage amendment Will be
beaten in New York next week in the
Judgment of Akers, although w. Y
Morgan, lieutenant governor, and
Major A. NJ. Harvey, of Topeka, have
returned with MESA ges of hope.
''Tammany is against the PROPOSE
ton" said Akers. $50 are Root and
his followers. Most of the big politi-
clans are against it and the saloons
are fighting the cause for all they are
worth l can't see how it will carry"

Man without Legs Escaped
From Local Hospital.
Sheriff Kiene'S Ward Found
Later by Officers.

When L. L. Kiene was appointed
guardian of c. NJ. Taylor, found to be
a habitual drunkard by a jury in the
probate court about two weeks ago,
the big Shawnee county sheriff smiled
when someone suggested that his
ward might prove troublesome. Tay-
Ior had lost both legs in a train acct
dent and is So years of age. Despite
the handicap, however, Kiene is won
derino if the traditional Irishman 8
flea would be any harder to keep
located.
Taylor's latest unexpected move
took place Wednesday afternoon when
he ran away from Christ's hospital
where he was undergoing treatment.
He was placed in the hospital several
days ago by Kiene and Hugh Mac
FarIand, probate judge. This morn
ing MacFarland and Kiene decided to
run out to the hospital and see how
the sheriff's ward was getting along.
At the hospital, they were informed
that Taylor had called a jitney We'd
nesday afternoon and had departed
for parts unknown.
search for Taylor finally ended
when he was located at 122 East
Fourth street, where he had formerly
roomed.
TayIor's home is at Meriden. Wit
nesses against him in his probate court
hearing were mostly relatives who
claimed that they could not keep him
on the straight and narrow path.

WATER FOR EAST SIDE
Agreement in Sewer Contract Guaran-
tees Good Service.

An agreement between the water de-
partment and Jas. A. Pringle, con-
tractor building the East side sewer
was approved by the city commission
today. This agreement is in line with
a proposal suggested by w. G. Tandy,
city commissioner of streets, whereby
four-inch and six-inch water mains
will be laid in place of the one-inch
mains planned for the exclusive use
of the sewer in supplying sewer flush
tanks. The larger pipes will permit
property owners along the line to tap
with their service pipes.
Property owners will be required to
sign a bond guaranteeing that the wa
ter receipts for the first two years
following the installation of the SER
vice will amount to ten per cent of the
cost, but as the amount which would
have been expended in building one
inch lines for the fluSh-taHkS will be
credited to the water department and
will exceed the ten per cent of the cost,
the bonds are a mere formality. The
bonds are required by law.

BIG DEMAND FOR GIRLS
Y. w. c. A. Has More Jobs Than
Young Ladies in Topeka.

The predicament of having more
jobs than she had girls to fill them
with confronted Miss Clare Armstrong,
employment secretary, at the Y. w. c.
A. today. Calls for nearly three times
the number of girls she has to place
are piled up on her desk and every
girl whose name she has, is engaged.
The Y. w. c. A. maintains an en-
ployment bureau for girls and anyone
having position to fill is asked to
call the Y. w. c. A. and notify the
bureau so it can act as a go-between
for the girls wanting situations. The
association looks into the job and sees
that it is all right and acts as a sort
of guarantOr to the girl.
THE trouble has been that so many
Topeka girls do not know of the eX-
istence of the bureau" said Miss
Armstrong today. There are undoubt-
eddy enough girls wanting positions in
Topeka to fill all the calls we have
The Provident association does not
attempt to place girls wanting posi-
lions but turns all of this work over to
the Y. w. c. A. which is constantly
looking for positions in any line of
work which is suitable for young
women
But at present there are no iobless
for the jobs says Miss Armstrong.
