Girl's Ambition Not High.

A Kansas girl graduate who had been given the theme "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy” promulgated the following: “I don't care a cent whether Italy lies beyond the Alps or in Missouri. I do not expect to set the river on lire with my future career, I am glad, that I have a good education, but I bin not going to misuse it by writing poetry or essays on the future woman. “It will enable me to correct the grammar of any lover I may have should he speak of *dorgs’ lu my presence or ‘seen a man." It will also come handy when I want to figure out how many pounds of soap a woman can get for three dozen eggs at the grocery. So I do not begrudge the time I spent in acquiring tt. But my ambitions do not fly so high. “I just want to marry a man who can lick anybody of his weight in the township, who can run an eighty-acre farm, and who has no female relatives to come around and try to boss the ranch. I will agree to cook dinners for him. that won’t send him to an early grave and la\*m upon him a wholesome affection and to see that his razor has not been used to cut broom wire when he wants to shave. v “In view of all this, T do not care If I get n little rusty on the rule of three and kindred things as the years go by.” —Topeka Capital.
