YES, THERE is A WEAKER SEX
PerusaI Of the Daily Papers Will
Prove It to Anybody Who May T
y ~, BE in Doubt. "a

"A New England professor recently
raised quite powwow over the ques-
ton us There Weaker Sex?"'A If
the professor is looking for informa-
ton we will promptly say yes there
is a weaker SEX. ~ ~ ..s,.s >.'>>>. 4
10 arrive at this CONCLUSION We
have scanned the daily papers and
have found several cases which prove
our point. We will mention just a
few. S., If the professor delves into the
matter with an analytical mind he
will doubtless decide which sex is the
weaker.
Mr.. Amiel WIFinkbinder, a WELL
known attorney. appeared in court
and. SAT- that his wife had chastised
him so severely with~a stove poker
that he could not go to his Office. This
happened because he criticised the
salad they had for dinner the night
before. - ~
Mr.. Torrance Mulvaney was dragged
into the station house a total wreck.
One eye was closed and the other was
taking no particular interest in pass
ing events. His wife accompanied
him. According to a. disconnected
'story told by the victim, it appears
that his wife struck him-with the cook
stove, hitting him on the, head and
smashing the stove, which cost $25
when new. =
Mr.. Spug Hawkins, who claims 10 be
n burglar by profession, has filed ar
ticles in voluntary bankruptcy, claim
ing that his business has been ruined
on account of the fact that his wife
will not allow him to 60 out nights.
She ties him firmly to a bed post at
six o'clock every night and does not
let him out until morning.
There, are many other cases, but If
the professor Will read these he will
be convinced there is a weaker sex

LarynxIes. Man Can Whisper.

How man whose whole larynx
has been cut out can continue to talk
Is told by DR.. T. HOrshin0 Of Nugate,
Japan, in the Annals Of Otology,
Rhinology and Laryngology Est.
Louis). DR.. Horshino describes the
operation by which he removes the
larynx in serious cases of cancer and
provides for respiration after it has
gone.
He furnished the patient with rub
Der tube, one end of which is inserted
into the trachea (windpipe) and the
other end Is held in the mouth. BY
sending his breath through the tube
and working his lips, teeth, tsngue,
palate and pharyngeal muscles the
man can whisper in such way as to
be understood.
Artificial larynges have been made
for such cases, but they are complex
affairs, and DR.. Hoshino says patients
much prefer the tube.

Anthrax Reported

State vetenarian Chas. G. Lamb
was here last Saturday Investigating
reports of anthrax breaking out among
the stock of this section. There have
been a number of cases in the upper
valley and as far east as Hasty but
only in the last week has it been dis
covered in this vicinity. The cases
found were on the ranch at Prowers
and steps were promptly taken to sup
press it and prevent it spreading. The
state veterinarian warns all stock men
who have animals to die to burn the
carcasses. Our stockmen had hoped
that the season would pass by without
any outbreak of disease, but will take
SPECIAL precautions to suppress it as
quickly as possible.

CHAPTER ".
TWO Hats on a Rack.

One casual remark of Mackenzie
had given Kate a clew. Even before
She had explained it, Curly caught the
point and began to dig for the truth
For though he was almost boy the
others leaned on him with the ex-
pectaton that in the absence of Ma
loney he would take the lead.
In the morning he and Kate had a
talk with his uncle on the subject
Not content with this, he made the
whole party adjourn to the club
rooms so that he might see exactly
where Luck had sat and the different
places the sheepman had stood from
the time he entered until the poker
players left.
Together Billie Mackenzie and Alec
Flandrau dramatized the scene for the
young people. Mac personated the
sheepman, came into the room, hung
up his hat, lounged over to the poker
table, said his little piece as well as
he could remember it, and passed into
the next room. Flandrau, Senior, TAX
ing the role of CuliisOn, presently got
up, lifted his hat from the rack. and
went to the door.
With excitement trembling In her
voice, the girl asked an eager ques-
ton. "Were their hats side by side
like that on adjoining pegsf"
"Thats how l remember It."
"Both gray hats?" Curly cut in.
"Can't be sure of that. Luck's was
gray all right
Curly looked at Kate and nodded.
II reckon we know how Cass got Mr..
Collisions hat. 1t was left on the
rack"
"How do you meant" his uncle
asked.
"Don't you seer" the girl explained.

Father took the wrong hat. You

Mackenzie slapped his knee. "I'll

"There's way to make sure" Curly
said. "Fendrick couldn't wear Mr.

Kate beamed. Buy another at the

"That would be my guess. And the

he did buy one there on Tuesday some
time after nine O'clock In the morn
