A BLACKMAILING SCHEM g.

From the Atchison Champion.
\ scurrilous circular has been issued
by snide collection agency at Cincin-
natl libeling ninety lawyers in this state,
because they would not pay the concern
FOR what they did not get. This alleged
agency has been publishing book called
a legal directory for several years, re
issuing it annually, with some unimpor-
tant changes, but failed to comply with
its contracts with the lawyers and de-
manded the same pay as if they had
kept their agreements. The bar of the
state quite generally refused to pay for
the book until such one was furnished
as by their agreement they had agreed
to furnish. The Cincinnati outfit then
sent the lawyers printed notices that I'M
less they sent them, some Ave and some
ten dollars, they would issue circular
and ruin their reputation, etc.
The lawyers while anxious to avoid
any such unpleasantness concluded to
refuse to be blackmailed out of money
by such course. The affair Cincinnati,
then issued circular maligning such
men as William Thompson of BuIlin-
game, judge of the Thirty-fifth judicial
district; ex-senator Miller Of Clay Center,

of Holton, Senator Gillette of kingman,

and many others of the leading lawyers
of the state, ninety or more in all. The
lawyers have employed MeSsrs. Bowman

OF the Matchmaking concern will be tried
for criminal libel.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.

There has been good deal of dis
cussion in the public prints of late of the
question of public roads. 1t is an i'm
portant question to the rural community
and especially so to the farmers. There
is another question pertaining to roads,
though not directly affecting their con-
dition for travel, yet which is of no
small concern to the farmers. And not
withstanding its importance and the
further fact that it is covered by a state
law, it is neglected in great many in
stances, to the serious detriment of those
most Immediately concerned. Here is
the law:
BE it enacted by the legislature OF
Kansas: Il shall be the duty OF the road
Uverseers of the several counties of this
state TO remove or cause TO be removed at
least once each year, between the 18th OF
June and the 18th day of July, in the
public highways, all cuckIe-burs, bur
docks, suuflowers, Canada thistles and
other obnoxious weeds as may be injurious
to the best interests OF the farming COM
Inunity.n
The date for the performance of the
important duty imposed by this law is
passed for this year. but it is not too late
to perform the service with good effect.
The object to be secured by cutting the
noxious weeds is TO prevent the seed
from maturing and becoming scattered.
and that end can be attained in large
measure if the weeds were cut now aud

OIlING A ROBBER.
An Engineers Treatment of Selfsh Road
Agent.

Agent.
There used to be-and may be vet
on the Las Cruces division of the Santa
Fe railway an engineer known as big
Jack Long" One night Jack was
alone at his engine oiling up the ma
chine, while the rest of the crew. like
the passengers, were at supper in the
dingy eating house The train was
long one and the engine was well away
from the little cluster of buildings.
Suddenly, ''throw up your handsr' was
growled at him and Jack found him
self looking into gun in the hands
of a hard-looking citizen. The fell
low demanded money and Jack be-
gan to argue, protesting that he had
but dollar in his pockets and
that to take that We're a cruelty,
since it was meant to pay for his sup
per. Yes, the marauder was determined
to have the sack, even if it had but a
single dollar. During the discussion
Jack slipped his hand from bulb to
nozzle of the long machinist's oiler and
edged around the head of the locomo-
tive, finally backing across the track,
closely followed by the temporizing
holder-up. When the man was so well
into the glare of the headlight as to
guide Jacks address, this worthy
promptly laid over his head with the
heavy oiler for bludgeon, and, when
the victims yells had drawn forth the
supping contingent, Jack had beaten
his assailant almost senseless and stood,
weapon in hand, looking down at him,
and saying, grimly: well. / guess I've
got you so well oiled up that you won't
run hot again for one while!'

LEGENDS ABOUT THE POTATO.
Queer Stories About It's Introductior
Into Russia and England.

oueer Stories About Its Introduction
Into Russia and England.
When potatoes were first introduced
into Russia by Mr.. Rowland 1.-THE ex-
act date of the introduction of the
tuber into that benighted country being
subject of controversy, but usual =
set down at 1191) the people would
neither plant nor touch them They
declared them to be the devils fruit,
and that they were given to his Satanic
majesty on his complaint p, God that
he had no fruit. God Il him To
search the earth for fool" Where
upon the poor devil fell to digging in
the earth and found potato growing
therein.
A similar legend seems to have OBJ
tanned credit among the staid British
ers in Berwickshire, England. In that
shire the introduction of potatoes is
popularity attributed to Sir Michael
Scott, one known all over Europe as
THE Wizard of the North" According
to the story Michael and the devil
formed a copartnership and took the
lease of farm on the Mertown estates,
called the "Whitehouse." Michael was
to manage the farm; the devil the cap
ital; the produce was to BE- divided IN
the following manner:
The first year Michael was to have all
that grew above the ground, and the
devil all that grew beneath the surface;
the second year shares were to be
divided in just the opposite way. His
Satanic majesty, strange to say, was
badly beaten by 1.-THE willy Michael. for
that parsonage, with true Scottish fore
sight, sowed all the land to wheat the
first year and planted it all in potatoes
the second. So the poor devil got
nothing but wheat stubble and potato
tops. How these absurd legends orig
mated no one seems to know, but the
fact remains that the peasantry of both
Russia and England even to this day
frequently allude to potatoes as devils

A CHINAMAN'S AMBITION.
His Pride at Mastering the English Pro-

His Pride at Mastering the English Pro-
nunciation-
An "Anglo-Indian Globe Trotter" was
in Canton, and for assistance in sight
seeing engaged the services of young
Chinese, All Choy by name. The boy
had picked up little English and was
proud of his requirement. In fact, he
had, what seems to be rare with Celes-
tials, a strong desire TO become master
of the English tongue. He had taken
the traveller 10 the South Pearl hall.
where the shrine of the Queen OF
Heaven" is ornamented with handsome
gilded carvings in wood.
The Englishman admired the work
and inquired:
What arc the vessels on the altar
made OPP
"All brrrass," answered All Choy.
All Choy was very proud of his ability
to pronounce the letter r, IL great
trouble to people of his race. and was
given to rrolling it with unconcealed
selfgratulation. The Englishman was
willing to humor him, and so asked:
what was that you said?"
Eyes, all brrrass.'
Eyes, all blllass," chimed IN an IN
learned bystander, and An Choy's salts
faction was doubled.
Presently, however, his pride had a
fall, for he pronounced the word will
lage" as il it had been spelled wool
wich," and his patron felt obliged 70
correct him. All Choy was crestfallen,
and when the Englishman proposed
moving on he forgot his RS in his con-
fusion and answered: "Velly well.
81 wonder" he remarked. little
later, IF went to England and studied
for three years could speak English
just like Englishmen-
"Oh, yes" said his mentor; knowing
so much already, you might do it in
half that time
Then the true object Of All Choy's
ambition was disclosed.
Yes" he said, with a frightening
face, ''and then could write an Eng
lish poem"
Who says that Chinese and Americans
have not some things in common
