We note by the telegraph that the
Kansas court reporters are going to
demand an increase of salaries. They
now get $4,000 month, which they
say is not enough. That reminds us
that once upon time, when Judge
Sturges was on the bench in this dis
trict, the judge told us that the most
serious job the judge had was to Sc
lect stenographer and reporter who
was smart enough to get to the best
hotel in town, and the shortest way
to it. and who was good enough as a
financier to be able to lend his boss,
the judge, little money once in a
hile.-Concordia Kansan.

Jasper Tightwad is for public i'm
provements as long as they won't cost
him anything and will enhance the
value of his property. He was for
sewers until he learned a lateral was
to run by his place. He agitated
paving until he found out that a
street on which he owned lot was
to be taken in. Then he roared like
bay steer. Jasper says taxes will
ruin any town. He knows of places
where there are no taxes and they
are the health resorts Of the world.
He is against the government be-
cause he can't get postage stamps
free.--Osborne Farmer.

The story comes that when her
father was unable to get workman
to construct a necessary sidewalk in
front of house he owned, Miss Ran
kin, the only congresswoman, took
Ratchet and saw, hammer and nails
and made the walk. This, says the
Leavenworth Times, together with
the successful campaign she has just
made, would indicate that she will
be able to keep her fences in repair.

The first "Hunch" story related by
the Emporia Gazette: Shortly after
the coroner's jury brought in its YER
dict, one of Adams neighbors slipped
into the Office Of the Eden Daily News
and cornered the editor. Now for
goodness sake, don't put anything
about this little affair in the paper"
he said. "Cain always has been a
good boy, and this little affair will
not amount to much. Anyway, he's
had his lesson. The family will patch
it up If you give it chance. Adam
has been pretty respectable person
most Of his life, and my wife says
Eve is sick over it. Now, for the
sake of the family, please keep it out
of the paper" Twas ever thus!

until after it is over and up to the

es of American history, if he had not
turned traitor to his struggling coun-
try, his record leaving only blurred
obscure page in the records of those
early events. No less traitor is the
man, who by word or deed, seeks to
destroy the upward climb of his little
town or community. The records of
his misdeeds, though they may never
be seen in print, will long be remem-
bered by his ambitious neighbour

l.. E. Latham has become known
internationally as champion coyote
hunter of the U. s. and his escapades
along that line are so frequent that
newspapers and magazines from
coast to coast have at some time con-
tanned accounts of same. His latest
was staged last Friday from the
Hartville store. Invitations were is
sued and scores of people came for
miles to participate in or witness the
sport. His wolf dogs, of which he
has the finest string to be obtained
anywhere, were in fine fettle and they
brought down every victim that was
sighted in the chase, which, we I'M
