"LADY POLITICIANS" EVIDENT

They are ali here today. The sena-
tors, the Representatives. the county
and district political leaders. the lob
byists, the ring masters, the perform
ers, the sawdust spreaders and the
peanut-e eating spectators.
All that Kansas has to show in the
way of craftsmanship, science, learn
ing, art and agriculture is on display
in the corridors of the capitol and
hotels and on the streets. Every kind
of human nature cataloSed in Kansas
may be seen.
The institutions of learning are rep
resented by their bespectacled doctors,
corporations by their bespangled good
fellows, stockmen by their boys from
the plains with their broad brimmed
hats. financial institutions by their fat
bankers and the deer peepuP by their
senators and representatives.
There is a derby-hatted class
sometimes he wears a eaver-man in
town who marches thru the crowds
with the importance of a German field
marshal. He is kidding himself and
trying to kid other people into believ-
ing he and the institution he repre-
sents are responsible for the garlands
of glory falling on certain heads to-
day. He is a very important and a
very busy man. If you want any gam
bling concessions you might try to see
him, however.
And then there is the Little Cor
poraT' who isn't so little after all in
his own estimation. He was a volun-
teer worker for Governor Allen during
the campaign and covered his town
ship thoroly- Because of this he feels
that he is very close to the governor
and is very careful what he says be-
cause he imagines people might think
he is the Allen mOuthpiece and might
get a false impression about some of
the governors policies. Can you i'm

Washburn Quintet Down to De-

First Conference Game in To-
peka Wednesday Night.

A mixup under the Aggie basket in
the last half of the Ichabod-Wildcat
contest at Manhattan Saturday night
cost Washburn two points-two points
gwen away. 1t happened like this:
An Aggie dribbler had forced the ball
down the floor, with every man hard
at his heels. in the mixup under the
basket Poort, Washburn captain. cap
tured the ball. figured his chance for
a shot, took a hard chance-and put
the ball carefully into the Wildcat

The final score of the contest was
Washburn 20 and Aggies So. At the
end of the first half the score was "a

last half Washburn scored nine points.
the Aggies scored ten points thru their
own efforts, and Poort presented the
Aggies with two points.

Lindell was the star of the game

CITY SAFE FOR MEN
Health Department Campaign Oustcd
Many Undesirable Women.

In order that Topeka may be made
a safer place for Topeka male white
way moths" and in order that visit
ing soldiers from the various army
camps may make their brief trips to
Topeka without endanSerinG their
morals and physical health by encoun-
tiers with street vampires" thus cast
ing a blot both upon their own lives
and upon the name of Topeka, city Of
ficials last week put on campaign,
according to DIR. H. L, Clark city
health officer to rid the city of I'M
desirable feminine residents.
The drag net resulted in a catch of
some ten or more fair prizes. In
forma ton has been coming lately to
the attention of the city officials that
recently arisen within the boundaries
Of the city resulting in a rapid in
crease of diseases most seriously detrl-
mental both to the mental and physl-
cal health. Under the regulations of
the oity ordinance passed last year it
is possible, says Doctor Clark, to hold
women whose conduct has been found
questionable for physical examina-
lions to determine whether or not they
are infected with any of the ailments
which are a menace to the welfare
of the community. If the questioned
mode of conduct can be proved they
are compelled to take an involuntary
trip to Lansing at the expense of the
city. Doctor Clark did not state how
many ladies made the trip.
Conventions Attract Them.
It has been found in the past. ac
cording to expert opinion, that every
convention or assembly in which large
bodies of men gathered in Topeka was
accompanied by the concurrent phe-
ncmenon. of the occurrence of large
bodies of women of evident immoral
tendencies.
The presence of large numbers of
soldiers in the city every weekend
during the fall and winter has been
accompanied almost invariably each
week by temporary increase ip the
female population of Topeka.

'T am not learned. / do not
know the law, o Prince. All that
this woman said is false"
"At least it is not false that yon-
der man lies dead and that you
slew him, as you yourself admit.
Learn now, and let all Egypt learn,
that even an Israelite may not be
murdered for no offence save that
Of WEAKNESS and Of paying back
unearned blow with blow. Your
blood shall answer for his blood.
Soldiers! Strike OF his head"
The Nubians leaped upon him,
and when 1 looked again Khuaka's
headless corpse lay by the corpse
Of the Hebrew Nathan and their
blood was mingled upon the steps
Of the temple.
The business of the Court is I'm
ished," said the Prince. Officers,
see that this woman is escorted to
her own people, and with her the
body Of her father for burial. See,
too, upon your lives that no insult
or harm is done to her. Scribe Ana,
accompany me hence to my house
where l would speak with you. Let
guards precede and follow me-"
He rose and all the people bowed.
AS he turned to go the lady Merapi
stepped forward, and falling upon
her knees said:
20 most just Prince, now and
ever am your servant"
Then We set out, and as we left
the market-place on our way to the
palace Of the Prince I heard a tu-
multi Of voices rise behind US, some
in praise and some in blame Of
what had been done We walked
on in silence, broken only by the
measured tramp of the guards.
Presently the moon passed behind
a cloud and the world was dark.
Then from the edge of the cloud
sprang out a ray Of light that lay
straight and narrow above US in
the heavens.
Tell me, o Ana, of. what does
that moonbeam put you in pind?"
asked Seti.
''of a sword, o Prince" / ans
wered, stretching out over Egypt
and held in the black hand of some
mighty god or spirit"
You have a poets mind, Ana.
Still, what you see see, and Of this
/ am sure-that some sword Of VEN
geance is indeed stretched out over
Egypt because Of its evil doings.
Come to my chamber and let us
eat. / am weary, need food and
wine, as you must after struggling
with that lustful murderer whom
have sent to his own place"
The guards saluted and were dis
missed. We mounted to the
Princes private chambers, in one
Of which his servants clad me in
fine linen robes after q skilled ply.
stefan Of the household had doc
tored the bruises upon my thigh.
Then was led to q small dining
hall, where found the Prince wait
ing for me as though / we're some
honored guest and not q poor
scribe.
The Washington times., 1919-03-16

Nov, by a chance only this
morning found in some old
records which / was studying, that
the heir to the throne of Egypt a
thousand years ago had, and there
fore, as nothing ever changes in
Egypt, still has, right to private
librarian for which the State, that
is, the toilers Of the land, must pay,
as in the end they pay for all.
Some dynasties have gone by, it
seems, since there was such q IL
brarian, think because most Of the
heirs to the throne could not, or
did not; read. Also by chance I
mentioned the matter to the Vizier
Nehesi, who grudges me every
ounce Of gold spend, as though it
we're one taken out Of his own
pouch. which perhaps it is. He
answered with the crooked smile
of his:
Since / know well, Prince, that
there is no scribe in Egypt whom
you would suffer about you for a
single month, will set the cost Of
a librarian at the figure at which it
stood in the Eleventh Dynasty upon
the roll Of Your Highness's house
hold and defray it from the Royal
Treasury until he is discharged
Therefore, Scribe Ana, l on n
you this post for one month; that
is all for which l can promise you
will be paid whatever 1t may be, for
forget the sum-"
do not thank me. Indeed, II you
are wise you will refuse. You have
met Pambasa. Well, Nehesi is
Pambasa multiplied by ten, a
rogue, a thief, a bully and one who
has Pharaoh's ear. He will make
your life a torment to you and clip
every ring Of gold that at length
you wiring out Of his grip. More
over, the place is wearisome, and /
am fanciful and often ill-humored.
Do not thank me, l say. Refuse;
return to Memphis and write
stories. Shun courts and their plot
tings. Pharaoh himself is but a
face and a puppet through which
other voices talk and other eyes
shine, and the sceptre which he
Yields is pulled by strings. And II
this Is so with Pharaoh, what is
the case with his son? Then there
are the women, Ana. They will
make love to you, Ana; they even
do so to me, and think you told
me that you know something OF
women. Do not accept; go back to
Z al
manuscripts to copy and pay you
whatever it is Nehesi allows for the
Librarian"
yet / accept, o Prince! AS for
Nehesi, I fear him not at all, since
at the worst l can write story
about him at which the world
would laugh, and rather than that
he win pay me my salary"

that, fearing lest l, a humble
scribe, had been too bold, l added
hastily:
Let Your Highness pardon his
servant for his presumptuous
words. It was his servants heart
that spoke and not his lips"
He lifted his hand and stopped.
ANA, my twin in Ra," he said,
do you know that l never had q
friend?"
"A prince who has no friend!"
Never, none. Now / begin to
think that l have found one. The
thought is strange and warns me.
Do you know also that when my
eyes fell upon your face l loved
you also, the gods know why. It
was as though l had found one
who was dear to me thousands of
years ago, but whom l had lost and
forgotten. Perhaps this is but fool
ishness, or perhaps here we have
the shadow Of something great and
beautiful which dwells elsewhere,
in the place we call the Kingdom
Of Osiris, beyond the grave, Ana"
Such thoughts have come to me
at times. Prince. mean that all
we see is shadow; that we our
selves are shadows, and that the
realities who cast them live in a
different home which is lit by some
spirit sun that never SETS"
The Prince nodded his head and
again was silent for a while. Then
he took his beautiful alabaster cup,
and pouring wine into it, he drank
a little and passed the cup to me.
Drink also, Ana" he said, and
pledge me as pledge you, in token
that by decree of the Creator who
made the hearts of men, hence
forward our two hearts are as the
same heart through good and i'll,
through triumph and defeat, till
death takes one of us. Hencefor-
ward, Ana, unless you show your
self unworthy, l hide no thought
from you"
Flushing with Joy l took the cup,
saying:
i add to your words, y Prince!
We are one, not for this life alone,
but for all the lives to be. Death,
o Prince! is, l think, but a single
step in the pylon stair which leads
at last to that dizzy height whence
we see the face of God and hear his
voice tell us what and why we are"
Then | pledged him, and drank,
bowling, and he bowed back to me.
What shall we do with the cup,
Ana, the sacred cup that has held
this rich heart-wine? Shall l keep
It? No, it no longer belongs to me.
Shall give it to you? No, 1t can
never be yours alone. See, we will
break the priceless thing"
Selling it by its stem with all his
strength he struck the cup upon
the table. Then what seemed to
me to be a marvel happened. for in

"Afterward, as you know, Prince,

I heard Khuaka order him to do If
he Jagged through WEAKNESS, and
then Khuaka killed him because
my father Fin his madness struck
the overseer with a mattock. l
have no more to say, save that l
pray that 1 may be sent back to my
own people there to mourn my
father according to our custom"
ITO whom would you be sent?
Your mother?"
NAY, o Prince, my mother, q
lady Of Syria, is dead. l will go to
my uncle, Jabez the Levite."
Stand aside" said Seti. "The
matter shall be seen to later. APP
pear, o Ana the Scribe. Swear the
oath and tell us what you have
seen Of this mans death, since two
witnesses are needful."
So I swore and repeated all this
story that have written down.
''Now, Khuaka," said the Prince
when / had finished, "have you
aught to say"
"Only this, o Royal One" ans
wered the captain, throwing him
self upon his knees, ''that l struck
you by accident, not knowing that
the person of Your Highness was
hidden In that long cloak. For this
deed it is true l am worthy Of
death, but I.pray you to pardon me
because I knew not what I did. The
rest is nothing, since l only slew q
mutinous slave Of the Israelites, as
such are slain every day"
Tell me, o Khuaka, who are be-
ing tried for this mans death and
not for the striking Of one Of royal
blood by chance, under which law
1t is lawful for you to kill an Israe-
lite without trial before
the appointed Officers Of
Pharaoh"

stead of SCATTERING, as 1 thought 1t
surely would, it split in two from
rim to foot. Whether this was by
chance, or whether the artist who
fashioned it in some bygone gen.
Grafton had worked the two halves
separately and cunningly cemented
them together, to this hour / do not
know. At least so it befell.
"This is fortunateS Ana" said the
Prince, laughing a little in his light
way. Now, take you the half that
lies nearest to you and will take
mine. If you die first 1 will lay my
half upon your breast, and If l die
first you shall do the same by me,
or If the priests forbid it because l

thought, Ana. It never came into
my mind to put Nehesi in a story"
He bent forward, leaning his
head upon his hand, and ceasing
from his bantering tone, looked me
in the eyes and asked:
why do you accept? Let me
think now. It is not because you
care for wealth If that is to be won
here; nor for the pomp and show
Of courts; nor for the company Of
the great who really are so small.
For all these things you, Ana, hale
no craving If l read your heart
Alright, you who are an artist, moth
ing less and nothing more. Tell
me, then, why Will you, q free man
who can earn your living, linger
round a throne and set your neck
beneath the heel Of princes to be
crushed into the common mold Of
servitors?"
I will tell you, Prince. First,
because thrones make history, as
history makes thrones, and think
that great events are on foot in
Egypt In which 1 would have my
share. Secondly, because the gods
bring gifts to men only once or
twice in their lives, and to refuse
them Is to offend the gods who
gave them those lives to use to
ends Of which we know nothing.
And, thirdly-well, the word
sounds strangely upon a mans lips
but thirdly, because / love you.
From the moment that my eyes fell

He caused me to sit down at his
right hand and even drew up the
chair for me himself, whereat l felt
ashamed. To this day / remember
that leather-seated chair. The arms
Of it ended in ivory sphinxes and
on its back Of black wood in an
oval was inlaid the name Of the
great Rameses, to whom, indeed, it
had once belonged. Dishes were
handed to US by a young Nubian
slave Of q very merry face, and
with them wine more delicious than
any l had ever tasted.
We ate and drank and the Prince
talked to me Of the making Of tales,
which seemed to interest him very
much. OF matters Of state or Of
the dreadful scene Of blood through
which we had just passed he spoke
no word. At the end, however,
after a little pause, during which
he held up q cup Of alabaster as
thin as an eggshell, studying the
light playing through it on the rich
red wine within, he said:
Friend Ana, we have passed q
stirring hour together, the first per-
haps Of many, or mayhap the last.
Also we were born upon the same
day and therefore, unless the as
trologers lie, as do other men-and
women-beneath the same star.
