Kansas Has a Feminine, Hobson.

If it ever becomes necessary to sink another Merrimac Kansas stands ready to furnish a heroine who is equal to the job. Mrs. Corwin Moore, who lives near Manchester, slid down a rope to the bottom of her well and rescued a little pig that had fallen in. On reaching the bottom she put the pig in the bucket, climbed back hand over hand on the rope to the surface, and then drew the pig out in safety.—Kansas City Journal.
