When Competition Was brisk.

The brisk competition between restau-
rant keepers requires them to be constant
ly on the lookout to keep their trade.
Whether or not they now employ men to
keep them posted as to the bills of fare in
competing establishments is not known,
but a number of years ago prominent
restaurateur knew everything that went
on the tables of his competitors He hired
men to go and eat at other restaurants and
bring him accounts of what they had and
how it was served, and then guided his
own business accordingly. No restaurant
keeper could put Lew article on his bill
but what the eating spoilers reported it,
and in a day or so it would appear also on
the bill of the sharp caterer. 1t was
clever trick and brought good results, for
he soon gained large trade.-Interview in

A COLLEGE BoY7S PRANK.
Be0e Harvard students Rave Lots q
Fun with Boston Policemen.

Bane Harvard students Have Lots Of
Fun with Boston Policemen.
"There isn't so much deviltry in pri-
vate among the students today as there
was few years ago." said graduate of
Harvard, but their pranks in public are
getting holder as time advances. ! viii
tell you good story illustrative of this.
During my sophomore year there was q
party of eight young fellows belonging
to my class who were all the time look
ing for chance TO create a sensation.
They had become involved in several lit
tie scrapes with the Boston police on ac-
count of their practical jokes, and were
thirsting for revenge. One Saturday
night they went to Boston, and on their
arrival got shaved in West End barber
shop.
while paying their checks an idea
struck one of the fellows, and after a
short conference with his companions
he offered the barber $40 for his red.
white and blue pole, which stood about
twelve feet high in front of the door.
The offer was accepted ON the spot, and
the young men took it away with them,
insisting, however, on taking receipt,
in which both the pole and the amount
paid was mentioned. Then they started
off for parade Of the Third police pre-
cinct, in which nearly all their trouble
with the 'coppers' had been experienced.
''They had not gone far before they
were stopped by one of their old blue
coated foes, who demanded an explana,
ton of their possession of the pole. The
boys replied that it belonged to them
and that they were taking it home. The
officer, believing that they had stolen it,
arrested the whole party and took them
to the police station, where he charged
them with the theft.
AT this juncture one of the students
produced the receipt, and they were al
lowed to depart, much to the discount
ture of the arresting officer. Then the
boys went to another policeman's beat
and were soon stopped by the guardian
of that precinct, and, after short par
ley, which proved very unsatisfactory 10
the officer, the students were again ar
rested, and, with the pole, were marched
back to the station house. This time
they got their release from the lieutenant
in charge without having TO produce
their receipt
THE boys started of for another off |
GERS beat, taking care to keep within the |
same precinct, and within less than half |
an hour were brought back TO the sta |
ton for third time on suspicion of hav-
ing stolen that pole. The lieutenant had |
to send an officer over the precinct with |
these. orders TO all policemen: IL You

1t seems to US that in their manner of
treating the proposition for a constitu
tional convention the resubmissionists are
getting ahead of their game By raising
the issue now the constitutional conven-
ton may be beaten.-Kansas City Gazette.
The Resubmissionists do not care con-
tiental whether the constitutional con-
vention is beaten or not, so the prohibit
tionists can rest their souls in peace. The
Resubmissionists were not in it. The
Alliance was. The above squib and all
squibs like it are not what they SEEM but
are for the very purpose of defeating a
constitutional convention, which at best
could only be convened years hence
The Capital announces that the Resub-
missionists have laid down. If that is
so, why not let them rest, and rest in
peace, undisturbed by such hypocritical
yawpS as the above.

GOD is WITH KANSAS YET.

1t is sad commentary on the integ-
rity of the Kansas Alliance farmer,
writes Eli Perkins. when he will turn
around and stab the very railroads which
made and make his farm valuable.
When he was in the slough of desponse.
with no market and bad roads. the farmer
begged the railroads to help him out.
The generous railroad builders came;
they made it possible for the farmer to
live; they quadruppled the price OF his
farm, and now these same farmers repu-
date and bankrupt the railroad. They
try to reduce fares in sparsely settled
sections IN Kansas to q cents per mile.
when every railroad in Pennsylvania
and Ohio barely lives on cents. They
are nihilists. They destroy while the
railroads build Up. 1t will be strange If
another mile Of railroad is ever built IN
Kansas or another dollars is lent while
this dishonorable Reputation goes On.
They begged the Atchison and Missouri
Pacific TO extend their roads. They sent
praying delegations to Mr. Gould The
railroads were built TO help the people,

Jerry Not a Myth.

Murat Halstead.
Jerry Simpson is not yet myth. He

gress with cold feet. He wears socks
now and his makeup is that of farmer.
He has been providing around Washing

he is to serve his country. Jerry is as

Origin of the Messiah Craze.

A correspondent of the Wichita EAGLE

People wandered about Palestine in
bands, singing and dancing, claiming
the spirit Of the Messiah appeared to
them while thus indulging in terpsich-
orean ecstacy. To such an extent did
the people give themselves up to this
ecstatic craze that it became a subject Of

tribes? Is there any analogy between
the ghost dances Of the Sioux and the
ancient dances of the people of Palestinef

The agricultural bill passed by congress
devotes $4,000 to experiments in silk
culture. Kansas has already demon
strated that that important industry can
be prosecuted within her borders TO
greater extent and profit than any other
state or section of this country, if not in
the world, and yet, the chances are, es-
timating the future by the past, what
little of the appropriation is given to the
encouragement of the industry will be
practically frittered away in vain en-
deavor to develop old methods that have
been exhausted for centuries.

The clause IN the public printing bill
which forbids the making of contracts
with papers which have not been doing

or land Office work have been an injury to
legitimate enterprises and to the state at
large.-Newton Republican.

Beautiful Land, and especially upon the
splendid prospects for crops this year.
This is most encouraging and gratifying

them do, that the wheat looks much
better in Oklahoma than it does in Kan

of Kansans. The crop in this state is
placed at 100 as to condition, and that
