HE HAD HIS SMOKE.
But 200 Tons of Hay Went Skyward
Also

A disastrous prairie fire occurred
northeast of the city yesterday after
noon when about 200 tons of hay were
destroyed and something over a half
section of land burned over. AS it was
all entirely unnecessary and the result
of carelessne ess the loss seems heavy.
The hay was about two miles north
east of the city and was on the Wilson,
Nixon and Buckingham lands. Charlie
Null, an Abilene resident, went out
with his father about noon after a
load of hay. When the hay had been
loaded and the team had started for
town. made up his mind that he want
ed to smoke. The lay was as dry as
tinder and there was good stiff breeze
but Mr.. Null seems to be made of the
kind of heroes who would light a
match in powder magazine. Utterly
regardless of consequences or his
surroundings he filed his pipe and
scratched a match TO light it. The
match, as frequently happens, broke
and the lighted eud went flying intO;the
hay. That was the start and the only
thing that prevented as disastrous
results as followed the overturned
lantern that started the Chicago fire
was the lack of combustible material.
The load was soon a pyramid OF
flame, The horses were unhitched and
efforts were made to stop the blaze
from spreading but to no purpose. The
prairies are very dry and the fire went
on and on licking up one stack after
another of fine hay until before it was
stopped late in the afternoon 200 tons
were destroyed. W. l.. Nixon loses
about 140 tons; the Wilson place 80
tons; Mr.. Funk 10 tons and others
small amounts.
The despicable earelessnsss of the
smoker is one Of the things that no one
can understand, 1t seems as though
any man in the possession of his facul-
ties would know better than do SO
reckless an act but there is no account
ing for deeds and this one will be long
remembered by the unfortunate losers
as due to pure carelessness.
By good fortune and hard work no
buildings were burned, the farmhouses
around being saved.

RECENT REFLECTIONS.

Jolly & ROmig have opened a real
estate Office in the old Brady building
The anti tobacco users will have
another argument for their side of the
question in yesterdays blaze.
The position which it is reported
that Judge Nicholson has accepted
pays $500 year. Quite "drap."
The alliance has cut down its list
of lecturers in Kansas to 80. That's
about 80 more than the farmers feel
like supporting.
One of these days people will learn
to have fire guards around their hay
stacks. But then nc one would expect
that q man would light his pipe on the
top Of q load OF hay.

Keen Up the Sunday Schools.

County Worker Wood issues the fol
lowing address to the Sunday school,
superintendent and teachers of the
county. He is missionary of the
American s. S. Union and is anxious
for every Sunday school in the county
to keep its interest on the increase.
He says:
Are you talking of closing your
Sunday school for the winter? If so,
why? Is Bible instruction less valuable
in winter than in summer? Are souls
less precious then or is work for them
less a duty? Do the world, the flesh
and the devil cease their work? Do
our day schools close or do We expect a
larger attendance in the winter?
When ell else is active why should the
Sunday school, the best and often the
only means OF religious instruction for
the children and youth, go into winter
quartersY Will the Master accept the
excuses we make? Can we expect to
hear him say, "Well done, good and
faithful servant?" Rather will it not
be "Thou wicked and slOthful SER
vant?" In jeremiah, 1910 we read:
',Cursed be be that dOeth the work of
the Lord negligently"-no, the Sunday
school must not close. Get a library
and new papers. Redoubleyour efforts
to lead the people to Christ. Call in
new scholars and let there be glorious
campaign for Christ and His church.
Call on me for anything / can do to
help you.

BLEW OUT THE GAS.
A Dicklnsonian Ends His Life at
Omaha, Neb.

OMAHA, Neb.. Dec. I. "A. Kinney,
of the fruit commission firm of A.
Kinney & Bro, Of Chapman, Kas. was
found dead in his bed at the hotel
Jennings this morning. He had blown
out the gas.
Kinney had been at the hotel only
one night. He seemed SO familiar
with the hotel usage that the clerk
failed to inform him about the manip-
ulation of gas fixtures. He returned
late and left transom and windows
closed. Tim gas was smelled by early
risers and the room broken into. Kin
ney lay dead in the bed, having passed
from sleep into eternity. His remains
will be shipped home.

fire occurred on the Ad King place
north of town Tuesday. The residence
was completely consumed together
with all of Mr.. Holmes household
goods, provisions, etc. The fire is
supposed to have originated from a
defective fue.
The winter entertainment of the
county high school will be given by the
students at Chapman during Christmas
week. An able program has been
prepared and every effort is being put
forth to make it crOwning success.
All are cordially invited to attend.
An admission fee of ten cents will be
charged.
Joseph Spangler has moved his
harness shop into his handsome new
brick store building on Spruce street.
The structure is perfectly arranged in
the interior, has large plate glass win
dows and is altogether credit TO the
city. More men OF Mr.. Spangler's en-
terprise are needed in Abilene. The
city would then soon realize all its
possibilities.
-"DOn'tyou think" said the alli-
ance due collector who found a farmer
breaking some new prairie for wheat
land, ''that you farmers pay too much
attention to the plow?' Probably, :"
answered the farmer with a twinkle in
his eye and a crack of his whip for the
horses. You are not the first man to
observe that we are running it in the
ground. ."-[Wichits Eagle.
The merchants are busy selling
holiday goods. 1t has been many years
since as expensive and handsome dis
plays of Christmas presents have been
seen.as are now shown. There is no ne
cessity for anyone to send ont of town
for anything in this line, The stores
are already crowded daily and the
sales are nearly all for cash. The
merchants say that the farmers are the
best customers and seem to be best
supplied with money. The result of
good crops of the year is being seen
now.
The Junction City Union is author.
ity for the statement that Judge Mich
olson is to become a railroad attorney
after the expiration of his term of
Office. 1t says: Last week he went
to Atchison to see Baily P. Wagener,
general Missouri Pacific attorney for
Kansas and Nebraska. On his return
be gave it out to his friends that be
had accepted position as attorney for
the Missouri Pacific and would be
located in Salina. This information
came direct from himself through his
friends" As a railroad lawyer he will
probably allow his alliance membership
TO lapse.

Two Wagons Smashed.

As the noon train on the Union
Pacific pulled out the team of D. NJ.
Meyers, a farmer of north Dickinson,
which was standing by the City mills
became frightened and ran away.
The outfit collided with the team of
MIR. Ayres, smashing the wagon badly,
knocking the driver down and also
wrecking the Meyers wagon. The
horses were soon caught and no further
damage was done. Mr.. Ayres was not
seriously hurt and was able to drive
home this afternoon.

THE ANNUAL POULTRY SHOW.
The Smoky Hill Association Will
Have a Large Exhibit.

The Smoky Hill Poultry association
of which Theo. Sternburg,of EllwOrth,
is president and W. II. Staatz of Enter
prise, secretary, will hold its first
annual poultry exhibit in this city
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this
week. There will be fowls present
from a number of central Kansas
counties and the exhibit will be one of
the most extensive ever held in the
state.
1t will be remembered how much
interest was taken in the county ex-
hibit last year and there should be a
large attendance to this greater attrac-
tiOD. The gentlemen in charge are
enthusiasts in the upbuilding of fine
poultry and the result will doubtless
repay them for their trouble.

There was the usual full attendance

The most important action was the
election of A. w. Hargreaves as a
member of the board from the attached

ineligible from having moved out of
the territory into town. The selection
is a good one and Mr.. Hargreaves will

Saphir's Wit.

A very poor actor, having played the
part of the ghost in Hamlet" for many
years, Saphir, the German wit, on seeing
him, said: "It would be a good thing if
this man gave up the ghost, so thatsome
body else could take his part" A young
poet once sent the humorist an ''Ode to
Immortality" requesting his opinion of
it. Saphir returned the manuscript, with
the message, "This package will never
reach its address," "Three persons"
remarked the wit, "sleep soundly-a
child, corpse and a night watchman." :"
During his soiourn in Berlin, Saphir was
frequently in the society of well known
theatrical manager, whose dullness was
notorious. GLOW strange it is that my
legs go to sleep every day." he remarked
upon one occasion. Chow can you won
der?' returned Saphir; ''they are always
in your company."-San Francisco Ar
gOnaut.

Rnm Some Insects Sing.

The Greeks shut the cicadas in cages
so as to be sung to by them in their sleep.
The Greeks We're at odds concerning the
nature of the singing apparatus, and the
controversy among naturalists on the
subject lasted till very recently. The
zoologist, H. Landois, who investigated
the difficult subject of animal sounds
with ceaseless industry and great skill,
was able to give satisfactory solution
to the question. According to his re-
search, the case is one in which the sound
is really made by air circulating through
passages in the interior of the body.
Every insects body is penetrated by o
system of breathing tubes or tracheB
which open at places on the surface. The
openings are called stigmata. This sys-
tenn of breathing tubes, through which
the air is inspired and expired, takes the
place Of the lung of the higher animals.
Landois discovered them in very obscure
parts of the cicada, and found that they
form kind of windpipe representing the
actual tone factory of the animals

a Desert wonderland.

The bed of the Colorado desert today
may well afford a study to the seeker
after marvels as well as to the geologist.
1t is a desert wonderland. Imagine q
plain of clay, monotonously level, re-
lieved here and there by hills of sand
built in beautifully wavelike outlines.
These hills are not stationary; they trav-
Ell constantly, though slowly, journeying
over the plain as the winds direct. The
sand of which they are composed is not
like ordinary sand at all, but of nature
marvellous. Most of the grains are trans
parent, others are translucent, while
many are of rainbow hues, being in fact
small gems Of red carnelian, green chrys-
olite and varicolored garnet.
Looked upon beneath a microscope
they are most interesting. A majority
of them are perfect spheres, rounded and
polished by attrition with each other.
When mixed with familiar acid they
effervesce like seidlitz powders. Com
posed of these strangely wrought ma
terials, the sandhills look like great
snowdrifts, with here and there a CLEAN
of color. Continually they give forth a
rustling sound as the tiny spheres are
shifted by the winds, slowly rolling on
ward. Washington Star.

ConScientious.

Rose is an odd little girl, very con-
scientious, considering that she is only
four years old The other day she
came to her mother with half penitent,
half triumphant look on her face.
"What is the matter, dear" said her
mother.
"Well," she said, II told you would
tell you in three days, and I'm going to
