Kansas Negroes : are Prosperous! The Editor Finds the Middle Aged of the Race Accumulating Wealth and Prop- erty---The Young Negro is Shiftless as Usual. Oe Bap et week convinces wt entire satisfaction that colorec people are progressing rapidly; th ouly drawback we eaw was tnat the young men are not progressive enough. They think that bcauae the whites are against their progrets and won't give them a chance, they should Jie down and do nothing. Our firetatop was Emporia.

SEG! Organizstions ‘That he Fos- tered Did Not Honor the Dead Soldier With Their Presence. twas indecu sad to hear ot the tragic aeath of Col. James Beck, late of the Twenty third Kansas Volunteer Iufantry who went to Cuba in 1898, To have auch a gentleman ant one of our leading citizens and business meu assacinated by such a cowardly brute is beyond all reason, It is the duty of the citizens to eee thatthe court deals out speedy justice, which should be nothing shorter than the gallows. No time should be lost in seeing that this important and necessary duty is performed. Col, Beck was our friend—a very dear friend to the successof Tue PhatnpeaLeR. He never failed to respond to our wants im a financial way, an was the only colored man who assisted us in the purchase of our large cylinder press, yet numbera promised, but he was the only one to respond. We shall forever cherish hie memory, and his grief stricken widow can always rely upon us for any assistance she may need, We are indeed, sarry that we were out of the city at the time of his death and funeral at his old homein Wamege Wednesday of last week, Being in the extreme Southern part of the state, it was Impossible to reach Topeka in time to avsist in the necessary arrangements for the Knights Templar, Mount Moriah Lodge, No. 5, and the members of the Twenty-third Kansas to attend the funeral.

Peace to his ashes. lary Society, which meets every Wednesday night at the Tabernacle Baptist church mission, on Oak street. We think their mode of procedure unexcelled as a stimulus to young people. This society is an adjunct to the Institute Literary Association and with a little direct guidance from the said association, this society could be made a potent factor for much good in this community. Their modus operandi is explain their own and is as follows: purely their own and we will be on the first Wednesday night in the month we have a program of music and theater.

When there is fifth Woolmity we open the question for any question of interest to the race. We shall have more to say of this sort of city in the future. the public so he is moving along very rock under existing conditions we mean the local department. We can't say what the outcome of the trouble between the land of duffin and the people will be, but we can say that so far the local teachers seem to be doing their duty. And so the public generally are not opposing color it ers, but they are opposing a gesture in the manner it was lost to them. FARM COMMENT. South Carolina degrees are leaving the farms to work in the timberline forests and farmers say that they will be obliged to decrease their average of cotton and corn owing to the lack of help. Consternation has been created among the poultry commission man in New York through the organization of the allied duck raisers into a trust. The duck is becoming an important factor in the poultry market and the breeders thank they have not made as much money out of this bird as they should have. New York cuts poultry ducks every year and the commission man and the retail dealers get more than half the price, leaving the farmers the little end of the stock. The duck trust will now control prices. The directors of the Primate Cooperative Harvesting Machine Company of North America, organized at Springfield Ohio, to fight the International Horticer Machine Company of Chicago, at their meeting in January deposed the president, William M. Whitney, who built the great shops. Reports indicate that the internal discussions of the company will not affect its business. Prof F. A. Waugh of the Mesa University agricultural college is devoting special efforts to the development of dwarf fruits. He is dwarfing all common fruits and last year succeeded in raising very large apples of fine flavor on trees less than six feet high. It is claimed by the board of directors of the Iowa department of agriculture that some stock foods are sold in that state at prices as high as $14 per ton that have no value at all, or it host, a value of only $1 or $2. Among the ingredients used for stock food are lime, charcoal, common salt, wood, lpsom salts and wood ash. T. B. Chandler of Karmington, Mo. says he has raised six tons of timothy hay to the care in one season. The world's record, Mr. Chandler declares, is held by an old farmer who grew eight tons to the acre. Professor Vouhess of the New Jersey agricultural college, urged farmers to take up sheep raising. He says that much of the farm land of that state is potentially adapted to this industry. Out of a crop of 100,000 bushels of wheat raised in Canada last year it is estimated that 100,000 bushels are still in the hands of the farmers. Michigan farmers who rated himself last year averaged about 20 bushels per acre and it is claimed that the net price was 51 per bushel. William Collins, a large grass farmer of Wauton Connecticut, saw in advertisement in an agricultural paper by an Oshkosh man in which he offered for fifty cents to describe a new and cheap way to run the collins farm valued the money and in a few days it sold the farm to the man in Oshkosh which took *Put them on an elevator. This is one kind of disserting the farmer. Advice does not need to Professor W. Hollins and co. of the Colorado agricultural office have developed a new skill point which promises to increase yield in other state wary regions. It is also intended to permit more protein in a variety. The result at home is a reduced loss in crop at all times. The past winter that he had to have been in quagmire of the crowd. At the time he had offered more non-food and a secret claim were told in the news. Professor Custon of the Institute and cultured in college says Aug. is the last month to sow vitiligo. Late lasted on to sow vitiligo. Either day will work well lent results although lent stands are rescued in less growth, who plant grows a tittle in no little. As an evidence of the amount of material fertilizers used in some of the New England states it is stated that 284 brands of fertilizers were sold in Connecticut alone last year. These are exclusive of stable manure and the products of local manufacturers. Plants are being made to utilize many of the mountain streams of California to operate small electrical plants to furnish power to run machinery. The advocates of dry farming in Col- claim that it were $10 an acre will be paid to go under irrigation. This sounds a good deal like the song of a real estate man. A sheep owner of Dickinson, North Dakota, invested $3,000 in 1229 sheep three years ago. He solemnly declares that he has sold $1,000 worth of wool, $5,000 worth of mutton and now has a band of 1,000 sheep valued at $4 a head. F. H. Brandenberg, United States weather forecaster for the Denver district, declares that the problem of dry farming has not been solved. The rain fall in the last decade has made it easier than usual, but that dry times are coming when the Campbell method will prove to be futile. In their eagerness to make big david's railroads have not constructed new mileage in keeping with the treemountains demands made upon them by the crops of the past five years and the increasing volume of business of all kinds resulting therefrom. The car lotage is now greater than ever in the last year of the country. The Pallott in Elevator company of Pallott Neb., a farmers' organization dared not dividend of 15 per cent last year, having a $2,000 surplus in the treasury. The elevator paid out nearly $10,000 for grain. Professor Bidlow of the government weather bureau claims that he will be able to make a useful production regarding the general conditions and chances of weather at least a year ahead. If this is true it will be of great value to farmers. The farmers of eastern Washington, eastern Oregon and northern Idaho have formed an organization to control the price of grain and will build their own ward houses. There was a slight increase last year in British wild land and a decrease in grass land. Fighty seven per cent of all the agricultural land in England is occupied by tenants. Shrinkage in farm values in New York state during the last 25 years is placed at 2200,000,000 by the state commission of agriculture. There are 22500 farms in that state which are for sale. During the past season certain agri-cultural scientists of France have made much progress in the development of a new species of potato which promises to become fixed and possess much value as an addition to the food resources of Europe. The agricultural association of the Grand Duchy of Odenburg, Germany, reports that a black cow of the Oldenburg breed yielded in average of 11 gallons of milk daily during its entire period of lactation. The total is given at 24000 pounds of milk averaging 27.7 per cent butter fat. The Maryland board of immigration is endeavoring to bring in European farm laborers to achieve the stress in that state. At one railroad station in Kansas it is reported that 15,000 bushels of corn we hoped on the ground waiting for curs and from the Dakotas and Montana come reports of piles of grain at stations ruined by frost and snow. In sections of Texas a large amount of cotton is piled up in the open air waiting for transportation to market. The cooperative system among farmers is making rapid progress among the farmers in Servia. There are now 508 associations with a total membership of 17,000. All supplies for the members we bought through this association OTTAWA, KANS Services were conducted at the A.M.E. church on Sunday, the same as usual. Several visitors came down on the excursion last Sunday and a portion of them remained over until Monday. The services were alive and an- mating at the end of the day, and with angelic crowds present in time uncevailing.

Scott, of Orkney the former pastor, preached two in- spiring sermons Tuesday and Wed- nesday nights. It is with him and his good people that our next Day- tive Board meeting is to be held Here, accordingly, make a people preparations "Onte Oatat". Hcv. H. W. Gordon, on Dus- ton spending Secretary, preached so much for sorrow and vigor this day night. We welcome these men of God at all times. Hen. W. W. Stow passed threelast Sunday night on tour from Badgay to his home in Lawrence. Hen. N. J. Stokes, who formerly resided in Ottawa, has moved from here to Chamute. We regret to hear of the illness of Mrs. Stokes, at Piedonia, and pray for her recovery. Several young ladies were entered at luncheon at the residence of Miss Cora Hudson, one evening last week. The Gun club had its first shoot last S. and are to many euthustias, the will be need of this effort. It is a straightforward, legitimate organization among the young men for the purpose of com- bining business with pleasure. Superannuated Deacon Maddox is on the sick list. He has been very active in the work years ago, but is enged and feeble now. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor have beautifully repaired their ball and will entertain the Grand Others on Saturday night, April 20. Summer Joenger and James Scott are the proud fathers of new girls which have arrived at their respective homes living well. Fost Friday and Saturday nights in the tender plants, but from all appearances, fruit is not much of an aged ATCHISON, KANS The young ladies of the I. T. club entertained with whist Friday evening, at the residence of Mrs. Emma Mattows. Those present report an enjoyable evening. Mrs. Lulu Browne Richardson won first prize; Mr. Andrew Morley, second. John Smith passed through Monday, on route to Kursu City from Popka. Prof. L. M. Peace spent Sunday in the city, the guest of Mrs. Belle Murray. Mrs. Ella Taylor entertained the Young Ladies Whist club Saturday. The out of town guests were, Messdames Luha Browne Richardson, of Kansas City, and Bernice Packster of Omaha, Neb. Miss Sheaves, of K. U., spent Sunday in the city. Miss Virginia St. Clair left Sunday for an extended visit with relatives in Kansas City. Miss Mimie Newby and John Guthrie were married Monday by Judge Casy. We wish them much happiness. Thomas Morton left Tuesday for Kansas City, where he has accepted a position as route agent. "Tom" is one of Atchlson's best boys and with his push and ambition we are sure of his success. FIRST COLORED MAN The appointment of Dr. S. A. Huff to the position of police surgeon is the cause of considerable congratulation among the people of the colored race, since this is the first time that a colored man has been appointed to my office higher than policeman since the city was incorporated. Dr. Huff has been in Pueblo several years and enjoys a large practice among the people of his race. He is part owner of a long store in Northern Avenue, having recently purchased the business on D. Huffb. It is understood that is police surgeon Dr. Holl will spend most of his time in the city hall, in need more to answer a emergency case the station, when a report of an accident is called the police headquarters, it has been necessary to summon the city physician in his assistant from their offices, and it is thought that the size of the city will justify the appointment of surgeon. Henstolore, the recognition the 100 colored voters of Pueblo have received were one jointorship and 1 vote. When the Republic party is in power, the party will have received practically all of the colored votes, they got but one junior and two police men, and when the Democratic party in power the same recognition and the Democrats received but a small portion of the colored vote.

"Any good?" he impounded lazily, intent upon splitting open a huge pile of mail. "She is not as familiar with business terms as I should like" replied brant well, looking slightly embarrassed. "I don't tacel about suddenly." "She be repaled." I thought we agreed not to alimut a woman into the office." "It was all quite unnatural on my part," explained the other man politely. "You see, when Smith sent worm that he had to go to college for his health, I telephoned the agency to send her a competent young man. Well, instead, about half an hour later, Miss Holle put in an appearance, and she accused no expert and hopeful that somehow I didn't have the heart to send her away again, just because of her sex. She is quite able and very willing, and I thought it would not any harm to give her a chance." "I won't have a girl until the place," announced DeVanna grudely turning me back. "Very well, you are tell her so," an older Brantwell, slimming out of the room. Mr. Hal DeVanna talked about and stared beautifully after his partner. "Ily pave!" I say, that's not fair, he exspulated to the wits, he gives an engage some foolish little snip, whom I naturally disapprove, and then refuses to stand the penalty of his泄cretion and hodgeg her himself." Then Mr. DeVinn's recommended hearing virtually at his letters and soon forgot the impudent incident. Having mastered the contents of his mail, the young man touched an electric button at one corner of his desk, and sorted his papers preparatory to dictation. The door opened and closed softly, and he became turning toward the stenographer's chair, always placed at one end of his desk, suddenly gave a great eap. "Are you sure you the new atom grapher" he dumbly loosens his s peninsus in completely at the unexpected apparition Miss Nolle dimpled迪迪哩 "Ye mighty powers" what eyes? thought the man, Inpiring his papers and atroping confusedly to pick them up again Miss Nolle humorously arranged her pu- ents "Hee!" she said, "I'm the new sten- ographer, but I hate the term and I do with one of you would make me a private secretary" His private secretary! Devine felt impossibly annoyed at the mere sug- gestion the idea of a girl like that be- ing anyone's secretary "Are you ready?" impaired Miss Nolle softly Devine started and realized with a blush that he had been staring Oh, yes! he said, assuming a frown and clearing his throat "Mr J. A. Brown Los Angeles Oral forma" "She has a hand like a baby's," he told himself with delight freestilly watching the pink finger tips moving over the paper. Suddenly Miss Nolle looked up into his face, and this time there was the hunt of a snail in her eyes. "Do you wish to address Mr Brown 'dear air,' or 'my dear air'?" she inquired. "I don't care whatever you like," he said hastily and plunged again into his decision. Brantwell returned just as Miss Nolle left the office with her book half full of notes. As soon as the door closed behind her DeVinne began indigently. "What do you mean by huing a girl like that?" he demanded. "I can't see anything the matter with Miss Nolle" returned Stewart coolly. miss Jolie," returned Brantwell coolly. "Anything the mutter with her! Why man alive she's a having beauty! I'd as soon have a Greek attitude at my back and call as a lovely creature like that." "She is exquisitely concensuous," rebelled Brantwell, "and I can't see what difference it makes how she looks as long as she turns out her work." "It will never do to keep that girl in the office," replied the other man shortly. "Yy, why all the larks will be falling on love with her." Brentwell stuffed "It's too bad about the clerks" he retreated, "but if you really object to having a girl around you but better tell her so" Debrane cleared his throat and still allowed the desk with a slim the next day, Brentwell, with a man fascinated amused, amused that he had found a young man with quite the proper recommendations to enter their company "I urge him," and the Vince promptly Meanwhile, I will mention the matter to Miss Vole when the right opportunity occurs. We shall give to give her decent notice. Anyway we have work enough to keep two people busy for a while. The girl has been alighting. "She is pretty slow obsessive! Brentwell "I can't see that at all" she told the other man "Naturally a delicate little girl like that cannot be expected to pound away all the time like some great bulb of a man that is why I have all wavy objections to having women in it." "Nevertheless I hate to have your job of discharging her" muttered Brantwell. "Miss Nolle is a very sensible young woman, and she will understand as soon as I explain how I feel upon the sub job." "That won't help her to support her mother and educate her young sister, "You don't mean to say that little thing is carrying such a load!" "Yes, she is, and I believe there is a scapegrace brother whom she has to help out of trouble occasionally." DeVine grounded and then flung his son across the desk "I can't help it," he growled, "this office is no charity bureau and I won't have a woman around." The young man stenographer had been in their employ a full fortnight when Mr. Brantwell brought the subject up again. "The work seems to be pretty well up now" he suggested "and our correspondence department is costing twice as much as ever before." Dr. Davine looked up together. "I've been so busy, he explained the matter his shipped my mind completely. I will tell you today and he touched his hooves with a business-like air. Brantwell settled his mind and pushed out. Miss Nella entered smiling and as his eyes encountered the dutty little figure, some of the information faded from Mr. Davine's face. "I had no discretion" he said in an answer to her expectant look, after she had settled herself and posed her penchant. I wanted to talk to you a bit the about your own affairs." Miss Nell appeared somewhat astonished. Do you thing it is exactly pleasant for you to be situated here in an office tall of men?" he inquired kindly. "Oh everybody is lonely to me," she replied with enthusiasm. "Don't you think on that if you won't find a position with some woman, say as simply a secretary or something, that it would be better." "I should hate it" the girl said promptly. "Women are awfully hard on them own sex. I never could get along. Why I knew a girl once who used to be in lady doctor's office, and she was worked almost to death." "If I can only say you I am quite satisfied, and happiest than I have ever been anywhere" she told him brightly. "But I must tell you" commenced the man awkwardly, and then stopped short. A pair of lofty, tender eyes were regurgitating him smilingly and a simple was dancing in one pink cheek. "The young man felt that it was a physical impossibility for him to shatter that gladiator." "Have I done anything wrong*" she imputed with sudden fear, as he hesitated. "Bless you heart, child, not a bit of it," he hastened to reassure her. "I only wanted to say that I am arranging a small theater party for a visiting chap and I would be glad if you could join us." "Oh, how good of you," she cried joyfully. "I like the play better than anything, and I hardly ever have a chance to go." "Well," inquired Brantwell the next morning, "when does Miss Nolle leave us? I must say she does not seem to be at all cast down." "None of your business," snarled De Vine from behind a mass of papers. Brantwell roared with laughter. "Drop that," roared his partner. "I mean to assume her salary until the right time comes to dispense with her services." Brantwell said no more. He knew just how far to go with his friend and never overstepped the bounds It was three months before the right time came, and meanwhile the first theater party had been followed by inhumane others, until DeVinne and Miss Nolle fell into the habit of attending the play at least once a week. And in the end it was not the man who gave his stenographer notice, but the girl, who came to him, white and shaken, with downcast eyes, and said she wanted to resign her position. "But why?" Hal demanded in the ut most astonishment. She shook her head. I thought you were so happy here. "Not now." she managed to articulate. "What has happened." Again she shook her head. My 12-time lover forward and sounded all of her tiny fluttering nails. "Hearest, have confidence in me. Tell me what troubles you. I love you and it makes me miserable to see you like this." The girl began to tremble. "That is it," she murmured "that is what they say all around the office, that that you that we." "Well, they are quite right. I fell in love with you the first instant you stepped into that door, and I've had having you at my back and call, so you are to consider yourself discharged from this instant." At the swelling when Brantwell stepped up to salute the bride, he could not resist a joke. "What do you think of women around an offe now?" he demanded. "My dear boy," replied DeVinney, "staye in dangerous frightfully dangerous. Does not my own experience prove young, but beautiful. Liked felt her time as coming, and could afford to wait. Then came the musicale and she in the blindness had carried him to go. She saw him start when his eyes fell on the woman, singing law and sweet in a fear controller; she knew he had seen the illness to Raffa Anson. And he stood looking at the woman man like, yet so unlike the woman he had loved. The clear at almost perfect features the ivory tinted complexion was almost untidy, but the worldly expression of this woman's face was different as day from night, to the pale purity of Raffa Anson's. He went over to the window that opened on the balcony. Surely it was of this woman the two men outside were talking: "Yee, a double romance. It seems she eloped with him while at school and her father procured a divorce, and after that, when Classon turned over a new leaf she married him again. Her name was Anson. Kathleen or Kuthie Anson. A cousin, by the way, to the Miss Anson you so much admired -the one every one thought would marry Frank Grean." A little later Frank stood before Ethel in the dimly lighted conservatory. "I tell me whom Ruda Anson, the woman I loved, meant when she said he was living!" Ethel laughed. She knew she might write future now in place of success, but she love her defeat bravely. "You had better ask herself," she said solemly, "most likely she will tell you," and then she turned away. Frank looked after her curiously though he did not suspect the real truth. But then who would associate treachery with Litel Simbali's childlike loveliness? And two days later, standing before Raida Anson he asked her gravely and simply whom she had meant when she said he was lying. "Who could I mean but my father - my father, who is cleared, at last, from the shadow of a forgery he never committed." How he told her the fatal mistake he had made he could never remember, but he saw the swift pillar of her face and the sullied shiver that swift over her. "You will forgive me, Raida I I must have been mad. How could Ethel Simbali have made such a mistake. Rula had her own ideas about that, but she could afford to be mindful now. JAPANESE RULES FOR WIVES. Although Japan has revealed herself as highly enlightened in so many spheres of civilization, she has not yet applied reformatory punishments to the institution of marriage. There is as yet no such thing in Japan in equality between the sexes. The law relating to marriage recognizes no wrongs except on the part of the wife, from which the husband may obtain a divorce by merely asserting that he is tired of her or upon any of the following grounds: Disobedience, adultery, barrenness, jealousy, physical antipathy, talkativeness or theft. When a girl is about to marry, her mother impresses upon her various rules of conduct to be followed during her wedded life. Some of these are: "Be always amiable to your mother-in-law and father in law." "Get up early, go to bed late and never sleep in the afternoon. "Until you are fifty, never mix in crowds "Do not consult fortune tellers "Do not wear light clothes. "Be humble and polite. "Never allow yourself to be jealous. "Even if your husband is in the wrong, never get angry. "Never speak evil of your neighbors. "Strict obedience to a husband is a wife's noblest virtue." He Was Father of a Doll. Having gotten Chauncey Quimby of Concord, N. H., into a forced marriage, Ida Welcome Quimby resorted to a unique decret to induce the law to compel him to keep the matrimonial pact for after the marriage Quimby quit his wife. Then she appeared on the streets with a child and brought suit to compel him to support it. An investigation proved the child to be a doll. Her arrest followed on a charge of perpury. Dead Dog Stays in Cemetery. At Louisville, Ky., March 30, an opinion handed down by Judge Shackelford Miller denied relief to Henry Hertle, who petitioned for the removal of a dog that is burned in Cave Hill cemetery. The suit was directed against Alice Ridle, who buried "Billy Kenshrough," a pet fox terrier, in her lot in Cave Hill. The plaintiff sought to have the body removed, alleging that it was a nuisance and that he disliked the idea of some day being burned near the canine tenant of the graveyard RATION FOR CHICKS. A writer in the Journal of Agriculture has found the following to be an excellent ration for chicks during the first two months of their existence: for the first three weeks, they should have little else than oatmeal. If oatmeal is expensive, it can be made from oats chop. Place the chop in a bucket of water. When the hulls have come to the surface, remove them and pour off the water. Then spread out the wet meal and allow it to thoroughly dry. Feed to the birds when dry. During the latter part of this first period of three weeks, a little cornmeal can be mixed with the oatmeal. This should be rather coarse, but not to the consistency of cracked corn. For the first two or three days feed about one part cornmeal to three parts oatmeal. Gradually increase until you are feeding equal parts of the two grains. This mixture should be continued through a second period of three weeks, occasionally feeding a little hard boiled egg. In fact, it is an excellent plan to occasionally mix a hard boiled egg in the grain ration from the start. Some advice the addition of meat or biological to the grain ration but this is not it all necessary when the little birds live the run of a few square feet on which they can hunt insects. It is not a good plan to feed a purification of cornmeal until the chickens are in the fattening pen. Half oatmeal and half cracked corn, or a ratio of equal parts of wheat, or wheat succongees and cracked corn, fed dry, can not be improved upon for the growing chick. Nobuhise Hosumi, professor of law in the University of Tokyo, in a paper on the new Japanese code read at the recent international congress of arts and sciences at St. Louis gave an interesting exposition of the manner in which the Japanese have sought to conform their legal system to western ideas. The method employed has been conservative, recognising for the time being some of the most firmly implanted of the old customs rather than inviting by an attempt to revolutionise everything a reaction which might defeat the purpose of the new code. About the year 700 a legal code based upon Chinese moral philosophy, with the cult of ancestor worship and the feudal system, was drawn up and promulgated. This code, with some minor changes continued in force until the beginning of the nineteenth century. A system of such antiquity naturally had to be reckoned with by the draftsmen of the new code, though their task was somewhat simplified by the fact that the old laws had never been published. They had been made for the adification of the judges and other officials. The decree promulgating the new preliminary code after the restoration of the emperor in 1803 followed this tradition in addressing itself to the officials of the empire. When the second code was proclaimed, however, in 1873, the emperor's subjects, as well as his officials, were commanded to obey it, and it was declared that "henceforth every law upon its promulgation shall be posted in conspicuous places for the information of the people" making it evident to the Japanese that their government was to be from that one of laws and not of men. The legal condition of women was one of the most complicated problems which confronted the revisionists. Both Buddhism and feudalism had Japanese women kept in a state of dependency. The Chinese doctrine of the three obediences was strictly enforced under the old law—in childhood a female was subject to her father, in youth to her husband, after her husband's death to her sons. A woman had no legal rights which her husband or sons were bound to respect. In dealing with this question the drafters of the new code made a clean sweep of tradition and established legal rights for women similar to those of the most advanced European nations. Unless otherwise stated in the marriage contract, the property of a woman at the time of her marriage now remains here. She may also acquire property after marriage and hold it in her own name. There is no distinction between the legal rights of an unmarried woman and a male citizen. A woman now has the same rights as a man in the matter of divorce. In the maintenance of the "house," a survival of the old clan system, the new code has been less radical. The unit of state in Japan is still the family rather than the individual, but the powers of the head of the house now are practically limited to certain rights connected with ancestor worship and control over the marriage of subordinate members. Any member of the house may own property and on his death leave it to his heir, where shortly it reverted to the head of the clan. It is believed that in time the "house" will be disintegrated and will join the rest of the medieval customs of Japan in the limbo of the past. A French authority on European affairs, M. Yves Guyot, predicts in the North American Review that Russia will hereafter encounter hostility in attempting to fleet war loans. He says that the French investors are now awake to the fact that the French-Russian alliance is a one-sided affair, so far as advantage goes, and that Russia has flooded that country with her bonds. Russia's weakness is so manifest, says M. Guyot, that the limit of faith in her future will soon be reached in France. Russia still has an immense gold reserve to fight on, and the end of the war is not likely to come soon because of her financial strain. Yet failure of credit in the house of friends is not a pleasant prospect for a nation situated as Russia is. Our neighbors on the north seem not at all given to the worship of imported greatness. Some time ago England sent over a titled major general to organise the Canadian militia, and the colonial premier plainly told his leadership that he was not wanted. In the late national election the Laurier administration, which anubbed this pretentious individual and caused his recall, gained votes as a result of the president. Not alone St. Louis, but the whole country, may be congratulated over the success of the Louisiana Purchase position. The labors of the project and managers have been appreciated, and millions of people have added to their stock of knowledge in a way that can never be forgotten. --- The correspondents in the far east having nothing better to do, seem to be amusing themselves by invading new and more instalising ways of spelling the names of Manchurian villages.

Ill looked up at him from under her heavy silken hues, a faint smile just touching her lips, a smile that died away when one met his glance, and was replaced by a look of childlike sympathy. But, after all, almost anything that Lilah Simclair said or did had some touch of childish grace about it, as might be expected from one blessed with her fair, soft loveliness. But with all her beauty and caressing ways she had failed to win Frank Gretan's heart, to her mind the most desirable thing on earth, for, besides being good looking, well born and pleasant mannered, he was heir to a goodly statute and a comfortable home. And she had every chance on her side, for she was his father's ward, and all her vacations had been spent at Deaneums and she had come out, under his mother's chaperonage. As she and as deeply as her nature knew how to love, most certainly Ethel Sinclair loved Frank Gretan, and very dearly also she loved his future prospects, and only a few hours before she had learned that another was his promised wife—another whom she had known at school—another whose story she had told Mrs. Gretan, and which Mrs. Gretan had told her son. He stood before Ethel now, his face strangely pale, his lips drawn in a tense line. "Repeat again that it is true," he said, "for even yet I cannot believe it." "After all," Ethel said, "it was not her fault, for she was little more than a child and and she was legally divorced, but surely she must have known your feelings on that subject, but most likely she thought him dead. In fact a great many people thought so, but—" "But he is alive?" "Very much so, I believe." Without another word he turned and left her, meeting his mother in the hall as he passed down the stairs. She noticed the pallor of his face, the line of his mouth, and smiled. "He would bring no dishonor on his name," was her thought. "You—you are going to see Randa Anson, Frank," she said. She looked at him questioningly and he answered the look. "If it is true I will part from her tonight." Pernaps had he not held himself so well in hand when he went to proud, pale Radia, the mad mistake that wracked his hopes would never have been made—perhaps had he even known of the unsigned letter, that Raida had held in her hand an hour before, all this bitter misery might have been saved. Was this her lover, this coll. proud man who awaited her answer with questioning eyes? Whatever the sin or the shame, she had no hand in it, and though its shadow fell around her, she would not droop her head before this lover, who came as a judge. When she stood before him, so tall, so pale, so spirituelle, with her clear, dark eyes and proud, uplifted face—the whole northeast of the loss, he felt would be his, swept over him, and maddened him for the moment. Had he thought a moment he would never have spoken as he did Brutal? Yes. It was neither more nor less, he realized it as the words left his lips. "Is this story I have heard true?" he asked. "Is it true that you have deceived me as man was never deceived before?" "For a moment she was tempted to try out that, though the story was true, she had not deceived him; for she had not known the truth when she gave him er promise, but— "It is true," was all she said. "And and me is living?" "He is living," she repeated slowly. "And you thought—my God Ralda, you PUBLICATION NOTICE No. 24,364 In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas. Julia A. Perkins.

"You will not have to," she said coldly, laying the ring she had drawn from her finger on the table beside him. "I give you back your ring, and with it every promise you ever made and your freedom and—good bye." The next moment he was alone, and when Ethel Sinclair saw him again, her heart whispered: "Success." And up in her own room Raida Anson read again the few lines that had come to her in the earlier day. "Frank Gretan has learned the story of your father—learned of the shadow on your name, and—well, if it is true, he will ask his freedom." She held the paper a moment to the light—held it till it turned to ashes, and then sank on her knees with one low, sobbing cry. And after that Frank Gretan not getting the woman he wanted, was very likely to get the woman who wanted him; for Ethel was not only clever and ST.
