Snnhir. the German Wit.

A very poor actor in B had played the
part. of the Ghost in Hamlet for many
years Saphir, the German wit, seeing him,
said: at would be good thing If this man
gave up the ghost, SO that somebody else
could take his part" Hearing surprise ex-
pressed because Rellstab made no sensation
during his stay i'll Paris, Saphir remarked:
That's perfectly natural; ne was travelling
mcognito under the name of Rellstab." A
young poet once sent the hunorist an ''Ode to
Immortality" requesting his opinion Of it.
Saphir returned the manuscript with the
message: This package will never reach
itsaddress" Three persons, remarked the
wit, sleep soun.lly-a child, corpse and a
night watcbman." During his sojourn in
X Saphir was frequently in the society
Of q well known theatrical manager whose
dullness was notorious. How strange it is
that my legs go to sleep every dayF be re-
marked. How can you wonder" returned
Saphir; "ttey are always u your company"

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person a greater or less compensation
Tor any service rendered in the transpor-
tation OF passengers or property than it
charges for Il like and contemporaneous
service. This is one thing that this law
fOrbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another. Why then patron
ize the railroad that offers the inferior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride a less number of miles and still reach
the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be we'll patronized. The Missouri
Pacific Ry(FOrt Scott Route)offers such in
ducementS as mentioned above and great
many more which space will not permit 10
enumerate. If you are not aware of this
fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has eleg CANT train service such As the latest

A Milk Standard.

State Dairy and Food Commissioner Der
thic is quietly agitating the necessity for the
state to enact law fixing the standard for
milk. 1t is his belief that the minimum
should be fixed at S13 per cent Of fats. As
the low now stands there is no standard, the
state simply imposing a fine of $50 for the
adulteration Of milk. In this city the board
of health has fixed the minimum Of fats at 3
per cent, and the dairymen have become
smart enough to test their milk before deliv-
eriug it to customers. The commissioner
says Cincinnati has no standard, and a gen
eral law fixing it would prove very beneficial
to the consumers of milk.
The commissioner is having samples Of
vinegar found or sale ct Springfield anal yzed
1t was made in Cincinnati, and is believed to
be the whisky vinegar colored with some
coloring matter, which is in direct violation
of the statutes of Ohio. The analysis will be
ready in few days.-Columbus Cor Cincin-
