Dodge City C0p6oy: T. NJ. Mathis, Of
Rockport, Texas, who placed 1907 head
Of thorough Texas cattle in the pasture
of Ward, Byler & Dawson, in the Chero-
kee strip, last fall, has finally rounded up
and secured the remnant of his herd.
The cattle are now grazing near Dodge
City and number forty-six head. Cattle
in the Indian territory suffered terribly
last winter.
Garden City Sentinel: The sand hills
that have been regarded a. no good, vii
some day prove to be very valuable. The
finest corn in the southwest this year
was grown in sandy ground, which was
fled on by settlers not because they pre-
ferred sandy to other SOIL but other
more favorable locations in that section
being taken they took what was left
sandy land-and to-day they would not
exchange it for any other.
Ell Dorado Republican: j. M. Robinson,
of this county, has cut and stacked Is
tons of timothy hay from 200 acre field
He sowed his timothy with his wheat
last fall. The wheat failing to mature,
he has q fine crop of timothy hay. The
plant is we'll seeded, and furnishes the
proof that some grass can be grown here.
Mr.. Robinson is farming twenty-five
hundred acres of land, q thousand of
which is in corn, from which he will
gather $4,000 bushels.
Burlington Independent: The Hartford
Ca:i recently contained an item in rela-
ton to wonderful growth of Siberian
crab apples, in which it stated that a
twig eighteen inches long, bearing seven
teen we'll developed apples had been
handed in to that Office. As sample of
what our farmers can do, We have been
handed by Mr.. G. A. Roby, of Big creek,
q twig that is scant three inches in length
and upon which hangs sixteen we'll de-
veloped Siberian crab apples, the small
est Of which measures five and half
inches in circumference.

Larned Chronoscope A crazy woman
was found over in the sand hills last
week in most pitiable condition. We
have not been able to find out whether
she had any home or friends. She said
she had lost her dog and babe in the
hills, and one party said she did have q
dog and bundle when he saw her, but
he thinks it was only Q bundle of
clothes, and although q party of men
hunted till two o'clock in the morning,
no trace of either can be found. The
woman was adjudged insane and sent to
the asylum.
An associated press dispatch of q re-
cent date from Emporia, says: j. r.
Walkup, of this city, died the other day.
He was president of the city council and
acting mayor; was also deputy grand die
tator of the knights of honor in this
state. His death was occasioned by poi
son, generally believed to have admins
tered by his wife, young woman whose
acquaintance he made while visiting at
the New Orleans exposition last winter;
and whom he married about the 2lst of
last July in Covington, KY. An analysis
of his stomach, however, failed to demon
strate the fact of poison having been ad-
ministered and it is generally believed
that Mrs. Walkup is not guilty of hav-
ing caused the death of her husband.

daughter of John Ward, of Wichita, was

pouring it from the can. The little girl
poured the oil from the can onto the
wood under which were live Goals of fire.
Immediately the flames shot up and
communicated with the oil in the can,
which exploded with sound that was
heard two blocks away. In an instant
the child's clothes were enveloped in
flames, which also spread over the floor
and ran up the walls communicating
with the ceiling, all of which was con-
siderably scorched before the flames
were subdued. The child ran towards
the door but her mother called her back
and the poor child returned and stood
speechless on the middle of the floor
while Mrs. Ward dashed two tubs of
water that were in the kitchen upon her,
subduing the flames. On unrobing the
poor girl, she was found to be frightfully
burned on the breast, abdomen. face and
limbs. Her recovery is doubtful.

Woman the Home.

T. W. Higginson. in Harper's Bazaar.
"Home," says the proverb, "is where
the heart u.s." but, if 80, no man seems to
have heart enough to fit out home
without q woman to help him. A wo-
man can do it for herself; there lies her
advantage. Itmay BIZ harder for woman
to make money; undoubtedly it is harder.
She makes dollar, perhaps, where man
makes twenty; but when it comes to pur-
chasing power her dollars 60 the far
thest towards the maintenance ola home.
So long as she retains it she is strong and
self.respecting, and, even if she parts
with it, so strong is the instinct of home
that she can sometimes reconstruct it for
herself, even in boarding house. If the
home il combined with q little freedom
in the use of money, it gives more comfort
and more local prestige than lone man
can win by q fortune. What would be
the social condition of country village
in our Atlantic States without frst-class
maiden lady? She is the daughter of "old
squire" somebody, or of "parson" some
body else; she lives in the great, square
house, With its elm and its white lilacs
and it's breezy hall; she has a m aid or two
who have lived with her SO long that
they seem like halfsisters; she has in
daily use the precious china and the old
chair that her envious city niece vainly
tried to rival at auction rooms; she man
ages the book club and the church socia-
BILE; she is the confdante of all the love
affairs; she calls upon the newcomers, if
worthy-indeed the newcomers, if wor-
thy, bring letters to her. To the older
inhabitants of the town she always seems
young and even elegant; she has q pro
longed tradition of precedence that out
lasts youth and beauty; if she has sister
they are spoken of to the end of their
days as "the Parker girls" All this is
the joint result of womanhood which
creates home. It is not only potent for
itself, but it extends it's potency over all
other homes. What compared to this is
the social position given by wealth to the
lonely old bachelor of the country vii
lage? Though he be millionaire, he is
simply the "old BACH" The truth is that
as people grow older it is the man which
becomes dependent, and the woman the
central and essential figure of the house
hold, since she can do without him and
he cannot without her. The proof of this
lies in the fact that we see all around Us
self-suficing and contented households
of women, while house that contains
men only is barrack, not home. In
youth it is easy to ignore, to say with
Shakespeare in "Henry W"
IT'S ever common
That men are merriest wheq away from home.
But the merriment is shallow, the laugh
is forced, and years and sorrow soon
bring him back, repentant prodigal, to
his home and to woman, the onle home
maker.
