STOCK AND FARM.

Westphalia Times: Horses with
CHAMBERS have been killed near Garrett
by the sheriff, as ordered by the state
veterinary.
Great Bend Democrat: H. G. Urruh,
OF near Dundee, is building a $1,000
residence. Kansas farmers can put on
lots OF style when they try, and no one
has better right to do so.
Clyde Argus: @. W. Freelove has
just harvested a field of sixty acres of
wheat standing five and one-half feet
high. which he says will average thirty
i've or forty bushels per acre.
Anthony Republican: Geo. Starks
has just finished loading three cars with
new wheat. They will be shipped over
the II. & s. He threshed sixty-seven
acres, making 1910 bushels, or twenty
seven bushels per acre.
South Haven New Era: George
King has cut 215 acres of wheat this
harvest and since the first day has not
cut less than sixteen acres. He has IT'S
acres OF his own wheat, a part of which
took six pounds of Irvine to the acre.
Arkansas City.-The immense herds
Of cattle in the Cherokee strip must be
removed at once, and az there is no
other available pasture, fully 100000
head of cattle will be forced on the mar
ket. The Cheokees took the lead and
shipped out the first trainload.
Atehison Champion: A strange dis
ease is among the horses in Jackson
county, and the farmers are becoming
alarmed. The horses when attacked at
first refuse to eat, and waste away for a
few days, when they die. A peculiar
feature of the disease is that only mares
are attacked.
LOngton Signal: Timothy and clover
never looked better than they do this
year and certainly will make a good
yield. Our farmers should turn their
attention more to the production of
tame grass since it has been demon
strated, beyond doubt, that it can be
grown as successfully in this state as
any of the eastern or older states.
Kinsley Graphic: While driving over
the country one day this week, we en-
countered a kicker. He was kicking
because he failed to drill in about 200
acres of wheat last fall. At a oonserva-
tive estimate he will have 5000 bushels
of No. Turkey hard wheat, and he said
he might just as well have had 10000
bushels. The reason he hasn't, is be-
cause he left his son to drill the wheat
while he was hunting up a location in
the state of Washington.
Wichita Eagle: Probably no country
in the world, California not excepted,
ever equalled Kansas in the prolific
abundance of fruits this season. Fruit
bearing vines, bushes and trees of every
character, have been and are burdened
and breaking down under unexampled
loads of fruit. Frank Yike sent some
limbs of cherry trees which would have
passed the belief of the mere sAy-so of
anyone. The fruit hung TO the limbs
as close as it could be well stuck on,
and the cherries measured from two to
three inches in circumference.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Seneca News: Some time in Septem-
Der an Episcopal mission will be estab-
lished in Seneca. There is no organized
society of that faith in the county, and
the Seneca mission, we have no doubt,
will soon grow into powerful church.
Topeka Journal: The state conven-
ton Of Baptist ministers was in session
at the North Topeka Baptist church.
The meeting was for the purpose of ap-
propriating money for the salaries of
the missionary preachers and also for
the maintenance of small churches. The

On board a man-of-war the captain
can be said to be the throne. But be-
hind him there is to the seaman q
power greater than the throne itself.
This is the executive officer, or first
lieutenant. as he is more commonly
known. Upon his shoulders rests the
responsibility for the ships internal
economy to the minutest detail.
He selects the petty officers from
among the crew, directs the detail of
gun and boat crews, and regulates
drills and exercises of every nature.
He Is expected to know the character
and capabilities of every man in the
ships company. and to see that every
one is stationed according to his merits
Applications for leave or furlough
must be addressed to him, and he reg
ulates the amount of money issued
each month to the crew. Whenever a
sailor is transferred from one ship to
another, the first question he asks in
regard to his new assignment is, "Who
is the first huff ?" If the description is
favorable, the sailor is satisfied and
does not concern himself with the quail
tiles of any of the other officers, not
even the captain.
It Is an Office exceedingly difficult to
fill, and to fill it successfully requires
tact and an amount of that executive
ability which so many imagine that
they have and so very few really pos

He Fell AsIesp.

Here IS new and true little story
about Amelie Rives- Chanler, that me-
teor that shot across the literary firma-
ment of America, Whereat we all won
dered, says the Detroit Free Press.
She was dining in one of the private
rooms at Delmonico's with her husband
and the editor of one of New York's
Wen-known periodicals that had pub
hshed much of her work. After the
meal Mr.. Chanler proposed that his
wife should read the manuscript of q
new poem to the editor. Now the edit.
or, after the manner of that hard
worked class Of individuals, was des-
Perately weary, the hour was late and
the poem was long-Yery long.
But there was nothing to do but
submit, and with the conventional as
surances of anticipated pleasures the
sleepy but courteous guest composed
himself to listen in an attentive atti-
tude, and the beautiful reader began.
As have said, the poem was very
long. The dinner had doubtless been
a good one, and if any man has an ex-
cuse for drowsiness after days duties
an editor has, even when he is listen
ing to a decidedly sensational poem
read by one of the prettiest women
VINO ever held pen. At all events he
slept, undisguisedly and soundly slept,
with the liquid rhymes flowing on and
on, and it was some time before Mrs.
ChRnler discovered it.
Do you remember how the faithful
black maid in the Quick or the Dead"
used to waken Barbara with a long,
concentrated stare at her eyelids2
Well, the unhappy editor must have
been reused from his peaceful slumber
IN the same fashion. Mrs. Chambers
glance. as he opened his eyes in
dazed manner, was certainly concen-
trated on him, and his awakening was
not as pleasant as Barbara's. Although
a genius, Mrs. Chanler is ~but yet
woman, and she has never spoken to
the victim of Morpheus since.
How well it is that most authors can
not afford to dine their publishers or
editors at Delmonico's.

LaWrence.-Charcell Snow received
reports which show that the bugs be-
gin dying in from six to fifteen days
after the diseased bugs are introduced,
and that after few bugs have been
scattered the active ones disseminate
the disease. The farmers are giving to
the work all the aid possible, and for
the first time the majority of them are
beginning to have faith in the theory.
Chancellor Snow is greatly encouraged
and says there is little doubt remaining
as to the success of the experiments.
If it is a success the farmers need have
no further fear in reference to chinch
bugs, as the diseased ones can be kept
on hand for use another year.
LaWrence.-Prot. 8. A. Forbes, state
entomologist of Illinois. has made a
proposition to Chancellor Snow TO fur
nish infected chinch bugs for distribu-
ton in the fields of Illinois. The chan
cellOr has not accepted the proposition
yet, but If he does all the expenses con-
nected with the enterprise will be borne
by the state OF Illinois. This is a high
compliment to Chancellor Snow. Prot
Forbes has been experimenting for some
time on the determination of chinch
bugs by incubation, but has not been
very successful in his experiments.
Chancellor Snow is receiving letters
daily from all over the state asking for
diseased bugs. and he will continue his
experiments thnuRhtout the summer.
Lawrence L. L. Dyche
has received for the university collection
six caribou. from British America.
While in the northern country last
year Professor Dyche attempted to
capture some of these animals, but was
unsuccessful. He made arrangements
to have some shipped to him as soon
as they could be secured, and the con-
signment to-day was the result. The
caribou are very hard to get, and the
six received to-day are considered very
valuable. They will make the finest
collection of the kind to be found in
any college. Professor Dyche is max
ing arrangements to exhibit his collec-
ton at the Worlds fair, and if he sue
ceeds it will be q great card for she uni

The Robber and the cadI.

A robber who had plundered a mer-
chant of 200 pieces of gold was taken
before the cadi, who asked him if he
had anything to say why he should not
be decapitated. "Your honor" said
the robber, II could not do otherwise
than take the money, for Allah made
me that way" your defense is in
genious and sound, said the cadi, "and
I must acquit you of criminality. IN
fortunately Allah has made me so that
I must take off your head-unless, " he
added thoughtfullY, You offer me half
the gold; for he made me weak under
temptation" Thereupon the robber
put 800 pieces of gold in the cadi's
hand. Good, said the cadi, 81 shall
now remove but one-half your head.
To show my trust in your discretion I
shall leave intact the half you talk

The Deadly Cigarette.

To query as to the injurious effects
of cigarette smoking, the Chicago Her
aid replies as if a deep, rich vein of
disgust had been tapped in its soul:
There is but little evidence that cigar
cites are made Of tobacco. They don't
look like tobacco, don't taste like it,
and certainly don't smell like it. To-
bacco smoke has q pleasant odor; but
if there is anything on the earth or in
the waters under the earth that has q
more disagreeable, nauseating, moi
some, disgusting, loathsome, pernicious
and nasty smell than cigarette smoke
it has not been discovered. It is said
that vermin will not bite a cigarette
smoker. What are the materials used
for the manufacture of cigarettes ?
We give It up. The imagination is
staggered at the conundrum, and the
system becomes unsettled when the
mind grapples with this problem.

GARFIELD BEACH ON GREAT SALT
LAKE UTAH

The famous health resort, Garfield Beach,
on Great Salt Lake. 18 miles from Salt Lake
City, is reached via the Union Pacific, ''The
Overland Route" and is now open for the
season.
This is the only real sand beach on Great
Salt Lake, and is one of the finest bathing
and health resorts in the West. Owing to the
stimulating effect of the brine on the skin,
or the saline air upon the lungs the appetite
is stimulated, and after a bath the bathers
are ready for hearty meal, and feel greatly
invigorRted,
Fine bath houses, accommodating 400 peo-
pie, have been erected at Garfield Beach, in
connection with which there is a frst-class
restaurant and a large dancing pavilion
built out over the lake. All of these are run
by the Union Pacific, which guarantees a
first class resort in every respect.

and Great Salt Lake, send to E. L. LoA1Ax,
