En.c. of Smaller Bullet. in War.

A Albright, a gunslnith, says: There
are many reasons to be urged in favor of
the reduction in the caliber OF military
rifles that is now going on all over the
world, and which Is being considered by
the authorities of the war department.
Range may be increased and the weight Of
the cartridge to be carried by the soldier
diminished by the use Of smaller project
lie. but there are one or two disadvantages
which have not, as il seems 70 me, received
proper attention. The number Of fatal
casualties from the new bullets will prob
ably be larger than those from the calibers
now in use, but wounds will not be nearly
20 disabling
1t is well known that an army is much
more seriously crippled by a number OF
wounded men than by an equal number of
soldiers killed outright. Where the new
bullets do not strike mortal part they
viii cause comparatively little injury.
Their light weight will prevent extensive
muscular liberation, and the high velocity
will cause fractures of bones TO be compare
lively insignificant, as round hole will be
drilled and SCATTERING reduced to a mini
mum. Slightly wounded soldiers will be
able to continue the combat, as a small
ball with high velocity does not disable by
paralyzing muscles as a larger one flying
less swiftly. This will be peculiarly the
case when the new weapons are used
against cavalry. A horse unless a vital
organ is touched or a leg broken. will not
be stopped by bullet of SO-caliber, whereas
one OF IS would bring him TO the ground
by paralyzing the muscles involved The
efficiency Of cavalry on the battlefield
would be greatly increased. as it is hard 10

A FEW PRACTICAL TIPS.
Ike DEAN Expresses Himself About the CaIam-
ity HOwlers and Their Oceupation---Ihe
Farmers As n Class Not TO be
Judged by the Wind Makers.

Ike Dean, one of the leading farmers of
Waco township and who is Democrat and
one of the leaders of the Alliance in his
part of the county, was in town few
days ago, and said to number of friends
that he was getting very weary of this
howl about the farmers being lot of pau
pers and wanting to beat all creditors, and
in short, transforming into lot of COM
munists, socialists or anarchists. He
wanted to 90 on record as saying that he
was sick of the calamity howl as howled
and revised by some of the leading howlers
who go over the country telling the people
to take their money out of the banks;
the system is wrong, the banks
will fail, and they ought TO fail,
and preaching financial damnation.
In his observations he has failed to hear a
single man put up that kind of q howl
who in his own affairs was a success. Ey-
cry one of the professional calamity howl
ers had never demonstrated their power TO
run their own affairs successfully, and he
could not see that other people should con-
slider them authority on their bust
ness. IL had been circulated that
he was one of the calamity howlers against
the banks and advising every one TO pull
out The statement had travelled some
distance before he found 1t out and he
stamped it as lie most emphatically. He
also referred to the plan of showing
violence when the law settled a debt and
thought that was the most foolish
thing any class of men or set of
men could engage in. He also
wants it understood that the men
who deserve to be called farmers are not
wanting the government or any power on
earth to do their business or dish them
out monthly an allowance Of rations. They
are men who stand up erect, look after
their own affairs and depend on them
selves for a living for their
families. He insists that the men
who work on their farms and attend to
business do not want to join the parasite
ranks and are not in the tape worm bust
ness. He don't want the farmers to be dis
graced by the few bowling failures who
are prancing over the country, and he
knows TO a certainty that the farmers Of
Sedgwick county are much better off
financially than ever before, and are gain
ing in wealth in proportion to their efforts
and business discretion, shown, more
rapidly than in any other state he is
acquainted with, and if he did not believe
his statement he would not live here, and
he would advise all who know of better
country TO go there Immediately.

WAS 1T NOT A PROMISE?

The New Year came 70 Us enveloped in
a mantle of unsulliei white whose feathery
folds covered from sight all the occult
delri of the wrecked year that disappeared
in the darkness of the night while we
slept. The unstained vesture was hint
that the old score had been wiped out. as
also an admonition to every brave heart TO
try again. Il seemed 70 Us even more than
that, it seemed a promise, promise most
fair. The last days OF the dying year were
serene Of face bus filed with underlying
troubles. and It was meet that at the very
last hour II should 90 out with walls Of
discontinue and shrieks of widest agony.
What soJs and signs. and with what diffu-
sive tears was the record Of its bitter dis
appointments and wrecked fortunes
marred and stained. But the first sun Of
the new born year rose 70 find nothing of

Suffer Owed the russians 500. 600

Nearly everybody who came to Califor-
mia made it APPOINT to reach Suffers fort.
Suffer was one of the most liberal and hos
pitable of men. Everybody was welcome
one man or a hundred, il was all the
same. He had peculiar traits; his necessi-
ties compelled him TO take all he could
buy, and he paid all be could pay; but he
failed to keep up with his payments. And
so he soon found himself immensely-al-
most opelessly-involved in debt. His
debt TO the Russians amounted at first 10
something near $780, Interest increased
apace. He had agreed TO pay in wheat,
but his crops failed. He struggled in every
way sowing large areas 10 wheat, increas-
ing his cattle and horses, and trying 70
build Touring mill He kept his launch
running TO and from the bay, carrying
down hides, tallow, furs, wheat, etc, re-
turning with lumber sawed by hand in the
redwood groves nearest the bay and other
supplies.
On an average it took month to make
a trip. The fare for each person was s.
including board. Suffer started many
other new enterprises in order TO find re-
lief from his enbarrassments; but in spite
of all he could do these increased. Every
year found him worse and worse off; but il
was partly his own fault. He employed
men-not because he always needed and
could profitably employ them, but because
in the kindness Of his heart IL simply be
came a habit 20 employ everybody who
wanted employment. AS long as he had
anything he trusted any one with every
thing he wanted-responsibh or otherwise
acquaintance and strangers alike.-(ien.

Overreached.

John Davis was famous turkey hunter
in southwestern Ohio few years ago He
caught hundreds Of the birds every year,
and was said TO be possessed Of quite A
handsome property accumulated in this
way. One Of his favorite methods Of capt
uring his game was by what he called a
"spring trap" This was small log house,
with big door which shut with a spring
managed by the hunter.
A trail of corn was laid from the door
for a quarter Of mile into the bushes
The unsuspecting turkeys would follow
this track of corn and march inside, when
prestol the door closed with "A snap and
they were caught
One day Mr.. Davis was tending the door
of this spring trap, when to his delight he
saw twenty fine, large turkeys approach
ing. They came up to the entrance. The
first one ventured in, then the second and
the third, and so on until nineteen were in
the log house. The twentieth bird fingered,
and Mr. Davis waited, loath to close the
door without him.
He was sure of nineteen, but the last one
was fine fellow, and he couldn't bear the
thought of losing him.
While he waited one Of the turkeys in
side stuck it's head out Of the door and then
hoped outside.
"He'n 60 back IN a minute an the other
one with him." thought the hunter; but
instead OF that q second one came cut, End
while the hunter waited for them TO 20 in
side another came through the door It
would certainly be too bad TO spring the
trap now, and 30 Davis waited-and every
turkey but one came outl
Wal, I'll make sure O. him. said the
hunter to himself. and he sprung the door.
'"That's bout as silly performance g
Use ever guilty of-losin' them eighteen
turkeys" said the old man in telling the
story afterward. That's the time | over
