Mrs. Bowseri"
II was Mr.. Bowser who spoke, aud
in such Il deep, bass voice as made the
piano tremble on its legs.
Mrs. Bowser looked up inquiringly.
"A great mystery hangs over this
house. That mystery is also fun of
deception. l want it solved, right
away. | want to know what has been
going on in my own house."
"State your case" replied Mrs. Bow
ser. but in tones that showed she was
somewhat frightened.
You ran in 10 see Mrs. Green a few
minutes last evening. While you were
absent | picked up a magazine off the
piano. | am not much of "A reader of
such things, as you know, because
their contents are mostly gush. | just
wanted to look at the pictures to while
away the time. On opening Il maya
zine | found a letter. 1t had been
opened. 1t vas addressed to Miss
Jean Carew,' at our street and number,
and pulling forth the letter, | found it
WAS from the editor of the magazine.
He had accepted a story and sent a
check for $50 in payment. Do you
know any young lady named Jean
Carew?'
"Why-why, l was going to tell you
all about it," said Mrs. Bowser. The
editor of the magazine said he wanted
stories. / thought that | could write
.,, -, emit him anI so Saf down an1
dashed off one. | did not wish To send
my own name as %authoress. and so |
took Jean Carew. You see, he ac-
eepted my story and sent me Il check,
and | was going TO ask you to get ii
eashed for me-. Is there any great mys-
terry about that?"
Mrs. Bowser. let us look into this
thing. In the first place, you wrote
this story without saying anything to
me about it. In the next place, You
took another persons NAME, and there
by deceived the editor and the public.
In the next place, | have read your
Story, and it is the most nonsensical
thing | ever read. Ii is all mush and
gush. The editor must have zone
crazy to accept such a story. You have
swindled him out of $50 and you should
send the check right back %
"Why, Mr.. Bowser. you talk very
strange !" exclaimed Mrs. Bowser.
1.-THE editor of the magazine is sup
posed to know what is good and what
is bad. He thought this story of mine
good enough to publish, and was worth
the check he sent me. | don't praise il
much myself, but | don't think You
ought to condemn it asfyou do. Mrs.
Green and two other ladies read il,
and it brought tears teN their eyes
'Bosh-nonsense A woman would

Issued a statement on the coal situa-
ton in which he said:
There has been and is sufficient
coal production in Kansas to care for
all the states needs, and production
Is increasing rapidly. We are, how
ever, having great difficulty in the
matter of distribution. Railroad COM
panies and industries in other states
have authorized coal brokers in kan
sas City to go into the Kansas field
and buy coal for immediate delivery.
These agents in order to secure
coal for their customers are bidding
coal up to 81 and IS per ton f. o. b.
mines. When the coal is loaded on
the cars at the mine, the mine owner
bills the car to the railroad or in
dustry in some other state, and then
claims it is interstate commerce, and
our priority orders are OF no effect.
This matter has been taken up with
Washington. and no doubt will be set
tied in a few days.
THE independent coal producers
are taking the position that they are
within their rights in selling coal fol
whatever it will bring on the market
and some of them are refusing to fill
priority orders at the price recon-
mended by the joint Missouri and
Kansas coal committee. Today each
Independent coal producer in Kansas
has been notified that they must fill
priority orders or steps will be taken
to enforce the same.''
