AT A SHOPPING LUNCH.

Scene-The restaurant of a large
department store.
CharacterstTwo bosom friends.
(They approach a table. Many
small packages I'LL their arms)
Mrs. A. tscannins the sea of table,
cloths )-Shall we take this one?
Mrs. B. docking further)-
Wouldn't you like one near the wins
dow?
Mrs. A. (practically)-what's the
use Of sitting near the window
You're on the ninth floor-you can't
look out.
tThey arrange their numerous
packages on chair. The waitress,
the head waitress. the bus and an
obliging child from the next table
help to pick them from the floor as
they fall. Finally order Is restored.
Mrs. A. (fine-combing the menu)-
What are you going to have?
Mrs B. (lingertngly)-I don't
know. I'm pretty hungry.
Mrs A. (ksenly)-I'm hungry my
self. There's one thing won't have,
just for spite-lobster salad and ice
cream. All men seem to think that
all women have that for lunch every
time they go out
Mrs B. (sympathstically>-1 know
It. Isn't it so? Every time I come
home naturally tired from a long
days shopping. and I'm kind Of tired
at the dinner table and don't have
much to say. George says very sar-
castically: II don't wonder you feel
punk. If I ate lobster salad and ice
cream for lunch, any one wishing to
view the remains" etc.
Mrs B. (sadly)-Well, what do you
see that you like?
Mrs. A. with enthusiasm)-I see
they have pigs knuckles and sauer-
kraut II that dish is cooked properly.
Mrs. B. tsepulchrally)-well. you
can eat 1t IT. you want to. But since
the hoof-and-mouth affair I never eat
anything near the hoof And what
could be nearer the hoof than the
knuckle? And sauerkraut! You know
they used to think that stuff was good
for the liver. but 1t isn't. It's killed
more people with acute Indigestion
than anything else.
Mrs A. (wanly)-Yes, 1 dare say.
Mrs B.. Catching at a straw)-rd
take chicken fricassee only 1 don't
in restaurants. And steak isn't al
ways good. I don't see much else to
take except lobster, do you?
Mrs. A. (searching very hard)-No.
do not. I suppose they use canned
lobster and the mayonnaise isn't made
from very good oil. but I'm willing to
take a chance. Are you?
Mrs. B.-Yes indeed.
Waitress-Will you ladies' have any
dessert?
Mrs "A (indignantly)-of course,
we will. I'll take a little chocojate
and strawberry ice cream, mixed.

IF THE LEAGUE SHOULD WIN

Suppose for the sake Of argu-
ment, that the Non-Partisan league
should win in the approaching cleo
tions. The public platform Of
the organization shows something Of
the nature Of the legislation to which
the state would be committed. There
would be a launching forth into the
widest expenditure on projects which.
even In the hands of honest and cap
able men must in their very nature
be expensive. burdens for the tax
payers Of the state. Every candi-
date for legislative office. and for
an executive position who has accept
ed the endorsement Of the league and
co-operates with 1t. stands commit
ted to program OF this character.
Ban THIS Is not all. The governor
and elected ny the voters of its men,
bers. and. in the absence Of q specif-
ic denial on his part. committed to
It's entire policy. would have the ap-
pointment Of members OF every state
board. The league managers. who

zers who are finding it more profit
able to work the farmers than any Of
them ever did to work farms. or any
thing else. will be hungry for these
appointments. How would the peo-
pie of the state who have regard for

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Nov. 11.-WHEAT-Word that
frost had done great damage to the crops
in Argentina. that the the estimated Argen-
tine exportable surplus had been reduced
to 23,000-000 bushels caused a sharp ad-
vance today in wheat prices here. Accord
ing to bulls, the news from Argentina
meant an increased European demand for
the rapidly decreasing stock of wheat in
the United States. On the other hand it was
urged that any temporary cessation of
buying on the part of the British commits
sion would tend to induce unloading here
by weak holders. Opening prices, which
December at 81. ssh to 81 S9sa and May at
$1-91% to $1921a were followed by material
gains all around.
Reactions that ensued failed to last.
Large export business was said to be in
progress The market closed unsettled %c
to &c net higher with December at S1.S91a
and May at $193A to S1.9315.
CORN-Corn like wheat was strong as
result of the bullish Argentine crop con-
ditions. Stormy weather threatening delay
to the movement of the domestic crop
counted also against the bears. After open
ing unchanged to Ne higher, the market
scored moderate general gains.
Increased country offerings had only a
crossed SO cents to a new high price rec
ord for the season. The close was strong
at to 2Ac net advance.
OATS-In oats, the principal factor was
the strength of corn. Commission houses
were mostly on the buying side.
vISIONS-Proyisions weakened ow-
ing to the falling off in shipments of lard
and meats On the break, however, good
support developed.

SUPREME COURT

the widows share of his estate. A
suit questioning the woman'S claim
was filed in the Shawnee county court
when she refused to surrender the
property rights to Haywoods brother
and sister. In 1881 the woman was
married to Richard Pool, subsequently
sent to the Iowa state prison. In the
Shawnee county court Melinda Mich
OILS testified she had signed a paper
permitting Pool to secure a divorce.
Later, she said, she had married Hay
wood and they accumulated consider
able property. The record did not
show that Pool had secured a divorce,
but the supreme court held that the
Haywood marriage was legal under
every Interpretation of law, and that
| she should share in the estate. The
lower court had held the same way.
Another Compensation Case.
| Trial judges do not commit revers-
able error when they deny a continu-
ance to determine whether the plain
tiffs have sustained temporary or per-
manent injury. This was the decision
of the supreme court today in sus-
tanning the Sedgwick county district
court in action by Earl McCorkle
against the Red Star Mill & Elevator
company. The suit was brought un-
der the workmen's compensation law.
| McCorkle's knee was injured while
he was working in the mill. He spent
a week in the hospital and the mill
| ing company made an offer of settle
ment, which was refused. When he
| brought suit for DANA ges the defend
ant asked a continuance to determine
| the extent of the mans injuries. The
| court refused a continuance, and Nc
Corkle received judgment for $1,400.
