THE HUMAN HANkER.

We may believe Cor claim toy that We
like to be alone
To "think"! How can we do II with
our bonnets packed with bone?
But give a man his preference with
neither lure nor string,
And he'll have folks around him for the
comfort that they bring.
He'll leave the grandest scenery an art
list ever viewed,
And hunt up human beings. though they
be debased and crude.
He wants to hear folks talk and laugh,
or fight or swear or sing
He's got to have folks round him, for
the comfort that they bring
Merit Rewarded.
The man who resists evil tenden.
cies had had a horrible night In the
sleeper, owing to the heat and the
disturbances.
The porter woke him for the wrong
town, just as he had started in. on
his first sound sleep Of the night.
He left his toilet set in the wash
room and somebody swiped It.
He rushed into the lunchroom at
the breakfast station. and asked for
some prOvender, including buttered
toast.
When it came in, 1t was not but
tered. The waiter apologized, and the
good man assured him 1t was all right.
The waiter then spilled the coffee
all over the counter, so that the man
was saturated with 1t.
But the patron only smiled politely,
though yearning to kill the stupid
chump.
AS he was standing at the cashiers
desk patiently explaining to her that
she had short-changed him, he heard
the laundering waiter say to his side
partner:

BURTON DENIES
 COBB'S MOTION
Attorney Contends Alaska Bone Dry Law Inapplicable
 Is Not Sustained.

By a ruling made yesterday by Judge N. L. Burton, in the U. s. Commissioner Court, the Alaska Bone Dry Law still holds good in the Territory despite the Volstead Act and the contention of J. H. Cobb, attorney for Marie Mejia, charged with the violation of the Bone Dry Law, that the latter was inapplicable was not sustained.
 The Mejia woman was recently ar rested for having intoxicating liquor in her possession, following a search Of her place of business and resi- dence. The search was made under authority of a search warrant by competent officers. Attorney Cobb entered motion that the search warrant be quashed and the evidence recovered hereunder be returned to the defendant. He based his conten- ton on the ground that the warrant for search had been issued on a complaint based on information and belief" rather than on specific facts
 Judge Burton denied the motion Tho case is set for trial next Mon day afternoon at o'clock.

DICKINSON DOING BUSINESS
Has Busiest Court Sessions in Judi
cial District Court Asserted

A QUESTIONABLE sent to al clerks
OF the court In Kansas by Thos. Har-
ley Of Lawrence in an effort to de-
termine whether the number Of Judi
ctal districts In Kansas may be de-
creased to advantage, has been filled
out by L. e. JeffcOat and gives in
teresting facts regarding this coun-
ty and it's court sessions.
During the year this county has
three terms Of court, two jury terms
and law term. In the last three
years there have been only four Grim
tnal cases tried by jury but during
the last four terms there have been
10 criminal cases listed on the dock
ct, all of which have entered plea

by jury and some Of them have been
long and hard fought
In the past two years there has
been total Of 317 court cases tried

were contested, and the number for a
,erm has gained from about 141 dur
ng 1915 to 1877 during 1919.

LOWER INSURANCE RATES
Lessen Fire Hazard, Inspector Ad.
vises Abilene

Wayland A. Durham, special agenr
Of the Kansas Fire Inspection Bu-
reau, who is in town visiting
friends, explains how Abilene people
may lower their fire insurance rates.
The Fire Inspection Bureau at To-
peka is working in connection with
all newspapers in the state to get
building owners to write to the bu-
reau and secure suggestions for les
SEEMING the fire hazard In their
buildings. At small cost old build
ings can be repaired and within
few years the reduced cost of insur-
ance will more than make up for the
expense.
Persons who intend to have new
structures put up, should send their
plans to the inspection bureau at To-
peka and the experts there will give
their services free in making sugges-
tons to lessen the fire hazard.
Mr.. Durham has inspected more
than thirty Of Abilene's buildings
and he reports that many Of them
could be improved at very small
cost.

NEW RATES ARE NOT .HHRe
But Abisenites BETTER Make Trips
Before August Is

bcxore Aukunt 20
Abilene agents have not received
the new rates for passenger. pullman
and freight service as yet. But Abb.
lenites who are planning on making
trips had better do so before Aug
ust 20 because the new fares will 20
into effect at that time and the In
crease will mount into dollars speed
lily as one travels.
Railroad men have figured out
what some Of the fares will be.
Passenger fares will be twenty per
cent higher. which will make II abou,
three and one-half cents per mile.
The fare to Kansas City from Abb
lene is now $3.50 so when the new
rates go into effect twill cost be-
tween seven and eight dollars 10
make the trip. II person travels
In the Pullman. whether In the berth
or In seat. the increase will be firty
per cent, making 1t about $1O.5O
from here to Kansas City.
The increase for Pullman fare will
go to the roads aud not to the Pull
man company. The reason for this
Is. local railroaders say, that Ordinar-
lily only about one-third as many per-
sons ride In a Pullman as in a day
coach and the car Is just as heavy
and costs just as much to pull over
The road. With the increased rate
larger per cent Of the travelling
public will ride in the day coaches
md more people can be carried with
ess expense.
Some slight changes may be made
when the tariff board figures out the
ates so 1t Is impossible until the
ist Is published to know just what
he exact fares will be-
