The hapless wight, whose sad story is SC
pathetically told in the last Scri5ner by Capt
King, of Topeka, worked in the EAGLE Office
several months. Afterwards, and just after
he had completed that lonely tramp from the
land of the magnolias across the wide and I'M
inha bited Territory upon our sou thern Dor
der, he came shutting up to US at the corner
OF Main street and Douglas Avenue, in the
cleaning of one evening, with an air SO defect
cd and face so sad that to resis. his appeal
for ''littie lift'' was not to be bought Of.
Two great tears weled up from his dark eyes,
trembled for a moment upon his swarthy
cheek, and fell to his silver.streaked beard as
he said: "Colonel, among the most contsnted
days of my existence account those work
ing with you" We never took his hand
again. How his life and spirit went out on
that dark night of pitiless storm on the desc
late prairie in Minnesota, il these columns at
the time failed to properly portray, Captain
King has not; the memory and indistinct in
fuence OF which tale upon ones soul is like
the sunset shadow of tombstone across a
ve-yard-inexpressibly gloomy.

Here is another item of interest for our
farmers. Colonel Maddux bought of Leon
ard Stout, of Nennescah last Saturday, forty
live hogs the gross weight of which was
1S066 pounds, an average of 401i, per head.
They were the finest car load of porkers ever
sent out of this market. Mr.. Stout formerl y
lived in Decatur, III. He has been in this
valley about five years and he has demon
strated that stock raising pays. In addition
to the above car load which brought him
$685., 90 he sold l6 head the week before which
averaged 39S pounds. He has so head more
for the spring market. This is his largest an
nual turn of but it is a good one. The man
who bought bis hogs was his old Colonel in

Mr.. W. Scott Corbett, one of Wiehta's
leading and most successful merchants, has
placed US under obligations by presenting us
with three Chinese coins of ancient date,
which viii add much value to our collection,
also portion of the New Testament in Chin
csc printed on rice paper. These were por-
ton of the curiosities forwarded by his broth
er whc is missionary stationed at Che Foo.
In a note TO us Mr.. Corbett says this money
was first coined about three thousand years
agos Think OF it. Away back in the temple
of time a thousand years beyond the bright
spot that marks the birth of the Savior, under
the shadows of the century columns that
commemorate the times Of the nameless
Pharoahs, amid the gloom that envelopes the
period between the Abraham and Moses, this
coin was designed by the amon-eyed sons OF
| the orient These coins are OF brass and
worth little more than the tenth Of cent.
| Through the centre of each is square hole
made for the purpose of siringn. them to-
gether, from 500 to 1000 in eacl string for
convenience. Mr.. Corbetl further says the
Chinese, like Bland, believe in = =" dollar OF
their daddies. We are much obliged to Mr..
Corbett for this valuable and uniqe present"
