DR.. W. III. Wilhoite has been called
back to Paola by business affairs. He
will return to Baxter Springs in the
fall and make his permanent home
with us. The doctor made many
friends during his short stay in Bax-
ter Springs, and it is to be regretted
he could not have remained here now.
While Baxter Springs is the heathiest
place on earth and has perhaps as lit
tie use for doctors as any town in the
state, yet DIR. Wilhoite, coming here
with the reputation he has acquired
at Paola, would have been well sus-
tanned. When he comes back in the
fall he will be warmly welcomed.

African Tracking.

Tracking is a science; some have a
natural quickness and aptitude for it,
others are of no use at all at it. The
keen way, for instance, in which Farag
Ala can follow up a native track is
wonderful; the slightest sign is noticed
by him. The only other art that re-
sembles tracking is finding your way
about in the bush" A clever bush
native near his own home, acting as
your guide, no matter how much you
may have twisted and turned or gone
up hill and down dale, when asked
where camp is, will instantly say,
There" and point out the direction.
He knows where his home is Just as
the wild bee does; he has mentally and
instinctively been carrying on ''trav-

over this he has plotted in his mind,
and when asked where he is he reads the
map he has made on his brain, and lets
you know the result. 1t is fatal to in

The grand old Douglas motto Ten
der and True" was once touchingly il.
lustrated by the representative of an
other Scotch family. The Duke of
Athole had a disease which was certain
to end fatally. When he was assured
that he would soon be taken away he
called on all his tenants and bade each
one farewell with a cheerfulness that
testified to his peace of mind. During
his last days there occurred a touching
incident
Queen Victoria visited Blair-Athole
to bid adieu to the dying duke. She
had returned to the station, where a
crowd of persons had collected, but in
sympathy with the solemnity Of the oc-
casion they maintained perfect silence.
The train was about to start when
there was a shout of Stop Stop"
and brougham was seen driving rap
idly from the castle.
Out of it, wrapped in fiannels, stag
gered the duke. He went to the door
of the royal car, knelt, kissed the
queens hand, waved his cap and called
out, Three cheers for the queen ~
Then re-entering his carriage he drove
back to the castle, and never left il
again alive. -Blackwoods Magazine.

Moderate Indignation,

A party OF newspaper men who were
indulging in a daybreak luncheon were
talking over the queer incidents that
bespangle their iridescent existences.

That chessboard Calculation.

1t is related of the inventor of the
game of chess that, on being promised
by the king whom he first taught the
game that he should have any reward
he might ask for, he meekly replied
that he would be content if the king
would give him one kernel of wheat on
the first square, two on the second,
four on the third, eight on the fourth,
and so on, doubling up to the sixty
fourth square. The king gladly ac-
ceeded to this seemingly modest re-
quest, and ordered his attendants to
bring in the wheat, which they began
to do, but, to the astonishment of the
monarch, it was found that there was
not wheat enough in the whole donin-
ion to pay off the crafty inventor.
A mathematician who claims to have
been figuring on this chess-board curl
osity says that to fulfill the kings
promise it would take 30,027, 097, 184,
4S5 bushels of wheat-allowing 600, 600
kernels to each bushel. This prodi-
gious amount would cover the states of
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
and Delaware all over with wheat to
the depth of a mile and a quarter
In a few words here is the exact num-
Der of wheat kernels the chess inventor
asked for - 9,627, ,268, 786, 934, 755, 1853.
