a suitable Kansas song for the state,
the Words of which shall be written

possessed of literary merit, it shall not
oe too elaborate in thought or music

| The words and music must both be
submitted at one time, though tney
need not be written by the same per-
| SON. The manuscript is to be un-
| signed but the name and address OF
the author and composer is to be sent

script. Upon receipt of the manu-
script and envelope, they VIII pc num-

ing to submit the words OF tne song
may have the music written by some
one else, but the words and music are
to be submitted together

This is a sermonette on the serenity

A certain woman has been raising a
disturbance over certain wrongs
against a set of her fellow women.
The man whose pocketbook was
threatened declared he would give
that woman most uncom1ortaole
| time and shut her mouth In telllnS
his threat she said, You know, Mag,
he can't get me. 1 have no past.

Society news was scarce, and the re-
lporter wanted the details. The hostess
said: ''The morning meeting will be
followed by luncheon. Luncheon will
be followed by a reception; the recep-
ton will be followed by an address on
art; the address will be followed by
dinner party, and the dinner party will
be followed"
by mysteries" interpolated the
prosaic old husband, who has no
proper understanding of the glories of
women's conventions.
