A Chinese Lawyer.

A motion was made by W. H, CHECKER
ing before the supreme court that Hong
Yen Chang should be admitted to practice
law in the courts of the state. Chang is an
intelligent Chinese, about % years of age.
He was two years at Yale college and grad
uated from the Columbia Law school. He
was naturalized in 1887, and admitted to
the bar by the New York court of appeals
This city having greater inducements to
offer, he concluded to come here, and has
been reading for some time in the law of
flee of Olney, Chickering s. Thomas. The
motion was taken under advisement and is

4 prominent local railroad man made
one Of party which recently went up for
little shooting trip in the neighborhood
of Turner junction. While tramping over
the country one day the sportsmen ran
across large bee tree, heavily laden with
magnificent honey, and they suggested
cutting it down and stealing the sweets. 1t
was resolved to do this at night, and, in
spite of heavy rainstorm, the five hunters
started out with a wagon, axes, etc. Lots
were drawn, and the railroad man and
friend were chosen to fell the tree. The
other three were to be posted near by where
they could notify the amateur woodeutters
of the approach of the farmer who owned
the tree, in order that they might escape in
time. The plot was well laid, and it looked
very much like a successful one.
When the big bee tree was reached the
railroader and his partner took their axes
and started in. 1t would have been a
pretty good job for professional wood chop
pers, but for these amateurs it was hard
work and lots of it. But they labored
away in the rain, and finally had the salts
faction of seeing the great tree topple over
in response to their efforts. 1t fell with
crash, and just then they heard shot and
yell This was the warning signal which
their friends were to give when the farmer
appeared. Dropping their axes, they
plowed through the mud and reached
their wagon by toilsome and circuitous
route. They drove like mad from the
place and reached home covered with mud.
Their friends returned soon afterward. At
breakfast hot biscuit were served, and there
was big bowl of honey placed upon the
table. This demonstrated to the railroad
man and his friend that they had been vic
timized the night before. The alarm they
had heard was a false one, and as they ran
off through the mud their three compan-
ions went up with buckets and stole the
honey from the tree they had felled with
so much labor-Chicago Herald.

A Gill Thinks That She Was in Peril Of
Isecpming Victim of Hypnotism.
An experience of rather sensational
character befel young lady employed in
she government printing office, an attempt
being made to hypnotic or mesmerically
control her by a strange woman, who,
whatever else may be true of her, seems to
possess great nesmeric power. After ac-
costing the young lady, who is the daugh-
ter Of a Presbyterian Clergyman, she at
once entered upon the subject of hypno-
tism, stating that she had just come from
an interview with a lady who had made
that branch of mental science special
study, and whose experience with it had
been remarkable and thrilling.
Learning that the young lady she was
addressing was going TO East Capitol hill,
she declared that she was going to Lincoln
park herself, and resumed her remarks
upon hypnotism, asking also some ques
tions in regard to IL.
Miss W, as she may be called, is not
an imaginative young lady of the emotional
school, but plain, practical, common
sense person, who has made good use OF
educational privileges, and is the orphan
daughter Of a well known clergyman.
But in spite of her cool head and good
Judgment she felt an almost unutterable
fear of the strange appearing woman, who
seemed bent on following her, and deter
mined that she should listen to her re
marks upon the subject.
Miss w AYERS that she felt strange
but unmistakable mesmeric or electric sen.
sation in her hand and arm nearest to her
chance acquaintance, nearly as pronounced
as that from a lightly charged galvanic
battery. She could see no policeman, nor
any one to whom she could appeal, and
she feared to make an cutlery, as her un.
welcome companion kept her right hand
in q small travelling bag, the contents OF
which could only be surmised.
Determined to shake her off she took
direction nearly opposite to her destna-
ton, but the mysterious woman did the
same Finally they were passing rustic
seat upon which person was seated with
whom Miss W was acquainted, and the
latter seated herself and remained till the
hypnotic enthusiast disappeared around
the corner.
Miss W states that during the time
she was in the presence Of the strange
woman she felt Obliged to make the most
strenuous mental effort to resist the Won
derful influence which seemed to emanate
from the stranger and that she could feel
it for several hours.
A person possessing the power that the
strange woman apparently does, with a
reckless disregard of its use, or who chooses
to exercise it for improper purposes, is a
dangerous character to be abroad The in
cident will no doubt be of interest to spe
cialists in psychological mysteries, and of
some possible. interest to the police

How Beck Got Fair Play for Darby Boy


An interesting story is current here
about MIR. Beck in the early days of his life
in Lexington. He was always keen to take
the side of the weak against the strong
On one occasion he offered to thrash a
whole circus company, in the slavery days,
when, in u circus, call was made for vol
unteers to ride trick mule. Fifty dollars
was offered to anybody who would stick
on. A little darky came forward and
mounted tho mules back. After going
around the ring few times the mule be-
gan series of tactics to dislodge his rider.
But the little darby stuck like wax and it
soon became pretty plain that the mule
unaided, could not get him off. The ring
master, thinking himself safe in maltreat-
ing n friendless negro boy, came up and
gave his colleague, the mule, several sharp
cuts with his whip that sent darby and
mule rolling over in the sawdust.
Mr. Beck saw the fraud. He jumped
down from his seat dashed into the ring,
and catching the rngmaster with very
persuasive grip, administered some Jack
sonian language to him, and demanded the
money for the boy. The ringmaster showed
fight. This was an easy matter, but it did
not look SO easy when the whole circus
company took sides with the ringmaster.
The spectators Immediately sided with the
man who had championed the friendless
little darby The money was paid over

if it rains any time between now and
the time Of frosts, he will have 800
bushels as a result of this years crop.
He says it is the only variety of corn
which will withstand the dry atmos-
Phere Of this country, and this years
experience with it will fully demon
strate his assertion to be true. Jones
sells it at sixty centssper bushel and

R. A. D4GUE, Phillipsburg, Kan.
Dear Sir: There is a good many
friends, and I suppose readers of the
HERALD, that are writing to me for
information in regard to this country
and cannot answer all Of them so
thought would write to YOU and if
You see fit you may publish the letter.
One man wanted to know if we raised
corn and how much to the acre.
There is no corn raised here. This
country is no good for farming except
where they can irrigate. There is
lots Of fine land here but not IN shape
to irrlgate- 1t is a good stock coun-
try, plenty Of good grass in the noun
tains. There are some fine farms
here but all chances for getting farms
and water to irrigate them with is a
thing of the past unless they buy i'm
proved farms. Some ask about Idaho
and Washington. cannot give any
lnIoFma6lon IN regard TO those places.
Some ask about raising vegetables.
L never saw the equal of this country
for vegetables where water Is plenty
to irrigate with. They raise fine
wheat and oats and peas. There is
plenty of work for ali class of work
men. 1t cost more to live here than
IN Kansas but wages are better here
than there. would not advise any
man to come to this country for what
would suit me might not suit others.
If I wanted to farm for business I
would as soon chance Kansas as any
place that I have seen since I left
there. If wanted to raise stock I
would prefer this country. I don't
think the winters are any harder here
than there. Respectfully Yours,
L w. THRAsHER.

There is too much truth in the fol-
loving item that is going the rounds

difference in people. A Kansas man
will stand in poverty and rags amid
the ruin and the ashes of his third
corn crop, burned by the hot winds
of July, and swear to the passin g
stranger that Kansas is the best state
in the union, while the Illinois man
who gets but 40 bushels to the acre
one season when he wanted seventy
five, and had sixty the year before,
will go off on a visit dressed in his
best suit of clothes and tell every
man on the train that Illinois is too
dead to skin.

fleeing so much credit on themselves
and Instructress, be instrumental in
bringing many others to carefully
consider this all important question.

Of a golden emblem besides. We

tempore remarks. Eight or nine
young ladies who did not recIte dur
