Dorothy was 4 years old, and
Binkie was her fuzzy little Scotch
terrier. One summer day Dorothy
came in from her play and said;
Mamma, don't you think it would
be very nice to dig hole in the gar
den and help poor little Binkie bury
his bones? He hasn't anything 'cept
just his little paws to dig with"
Mamma thought it would, so Doro-
thy took her little spade, found a
nice, soft place in the garden, and
dug hole that seemed to her just
the right size. Binkie looked on
with puzzled air, but when Dorothy
asked him If he thought it was big
enough, he pranced around and
wagged his small tail as if he knew
all about it. But he didn't. Then
she drew her little cart around, pick
ing up the bones, and Binkie trotted
behind, still puzzled, but very much
interested. When she had filed the
cart she dropped the bones one by
one in the hole. Then Binkie
looked as if he began to understand
a great many things. So when
Dorothy started for the next load he
went with her a few steps, then
turned, and ran back to the hole,
snatched the bones out, and ran away
with them as fast as he could scam
per. He had to make several trips,
but ne worked fast, and when Dorothy
returned the second time she found
only an empty hole, and very wise
looking little doggie beside it.
, "Well," she exclaimed, that's
funny"
Binkie looked az if he thought so,
too.
J Dorothy dropped the fresh lot of
bones in slowly, saying to herself. IL
do wonder who stoled poor little
Binkie's bones? We better keep
watch, Binkie." Then she started
once more, with the doggie behind
her, as at first. He waited till he
saw she was very busy, then ran back
to the hole, Dorothy had not for
gotten she was to keep watch, and
turned in time to see Binkie take out
one of the bones and dart off with it.
She looked after him a moment with
eyes ablaze, then almost crying, said:
IL do think you are just the mean
est ungratefulest dog l ever did see.
won't play with you any more, never.
pll go get my dear, sweet little
dolly" And so she did. -Harper's

Monkey Joker.

No one will doubt that monkeys
have a keen sense of humor which
enables them to relish a joke. 1t is
not to be supposed that they care
whether the fun is at the expense of
one of their own species of ours.
Their jokes are necessarily practical.
In the New Review Mr.. r. S. Garner
describes one of these.
In large cage in the Philadelphia
Garden were kept at one time about
twenty monkeys. Among them were
two big, wise-looking apes with gray
boards and hair, and with the mien
Of stoics. They had very long,
straight tails, and habit Of sitting
high up from the ground, and allow
ing their tails to hang at full length.
In the same cage were three or four
brown Cebus monkeys, who were
much devoted to exercise and fun.
While the big monkeys would cling
to the side of the cage, or sit on
perch some ten or twelve feet from
the ground, one of the little brown
monkeys would stealthily creep up to
one of them, and suddenly grasp the
end Of the long tail and swing with
all his might. OF course the "big
Jun" could not lift his tail because of
the little monkey clinging to it. He
could only climb down the side of the
cage with his burden until he could
reach the floor
During this operation the brown
monkey kept swinging until his own
tail touched the floor, at which in
slant he would release his hold and
spring to the top Of the cage, followed
by the outraged monkey amid the
screams Of the others.
BY the time he had reached a point
where he could attack his little tor
menter, who would show some signs
of resistance, and cause him to pause
for moment, another brown monkey
would seize his long tail and take a
swing

A CIRCUMSTANCE attending re-
cent murder trial in Texas has ex-
cited great public interest in that
State. The trial occurred at Colum.
bus. Arthur King was on trial for
the murder of Frank Williams, near
Eagle Lake, Sept. IL, 1892. The
jury was impaneled, and it being late
in the afternoon the court adjourned
for supper. Evidently the Texas
courts have expeditions methods
which would shock the judicial aggre.
cation and the bar Of a Northern
city. After supper the trial proceed
ed. The examination of witnesses
was continued until IL o'clock, when
an adjournment was about to be had.
At that moment Judge Beauregard
Bryan, presiding at the trial, was in
formed that Jud Williams, a brother
Of the man for whose murder King
was on trial, had secretly passed a
flask of whisky to B. l.. Willis, one
of the jurymen. Whatever malicious
wits may say of barbarous conditions
at the South, nothing in this in
stance justitles their jests. The trial
was stopped. Judge Bryan called up
before him the juror Willis and Jud
Williams. Both were severely repri-
manded and Williams was sent to
Jail, to stay there until the further
orders of the court. He then said
that this fragrant misconduct would
be calculated to throw doubt upon
any verdict that might be rendered
and discharged the jury. The action
of Judge Bryan is universally COM
mended and popular opinion regard
ing the administration of justice In
Texas should be in its favor.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

General Manager Frey is bringing
some new ideas with him to his new po-
sition. He has coined word, train
gram" and has put this institution into
existence on the Santa Fe. A train
gram is a letter to be sent through the
train baggage men and agents, and
while it will not be as fast as tele-
gram it is expected to beat the mails
several hours. Special pink envelopes
are provided for ''traingrams" and are
to be used under the following condi-
tons: "All kilograms not fled for
transmission before 4 p. m. to which re-
ply is not required before the follow
ing morning, will be forwarded by
train mail when addressed to points
which can be reached by trains at or
before 8 a. m. of the following day."

Sure Enough.

The Philadelphia Press tells good
story Of General Shermans sou
Thomas, now known as Father Sher-
man. In the company of a detach-
ment Of soldiers he was crossing the
pontoon bridge over the Potomac,
when the armies were on their way to
Washington for their great review in
1855.
The boy was then about eight
years old. One Of the men, to make
talk, asked him if he expected to
grow up as smart man as his father.
"No, sir" answered the boy, with
surprising promptness.
"Why not?" was the next question.
swell, said Thomas, without hest
tation, "there are plenty of other
men who have grown up, and why
amt they as smart as my father"

Two HUNDRED and thirty passen-
gers on the north-bound Oregon ex1
press were saved from death or injury
by the heroic conduct of q destitute
gardener beating his way on the rail-
road The salvation Of the train and
its load Of human freight nearly cost
the life Of the man who saved it, and
the benetlciaries Of his unselflsh act
responded to the noble promptings
Of gratitude by raising munifcent
purse Of $50, representing contrlbu-
tlon Of about % cents head. Aside
from the value Of the railroad prop
erty saved from destruction, the
Wells, Fargo & Co. treasure box, said
to contain about $4,000, was pre-
served from molestation, it having
been the evident intention Of a party
of miscreants to wreck and then rob
the train. Rewards were offered for
those who capture the criminals. 1t,
might be stroke of policy.
and would certainly be a matter
Of justice to properly reward the man
who averted the terrible catastrophe.
To this both the railroad and express
company might with good grace con-
tribute.

PROFESSOR LEYERMoRE, OF Boston,
advocates the establishment of a
newspaper with an endowment of
from "a, O00,0 900 to SO, 100000 under
the charge Of Board Of Trustees
having no pecuniary interest In the
project. His theory is that by maxi
ing newspaper independent of pop.
ular support 1t would be enabled to-
exclude reports Of scandals, murders,
and prize fights, and to devote itsI
columns to topics Of less sensational
character Advertising would not be-
debarred, but nothing of an equlvo-
cal nature would be accepted. Such
a journal Is, of course, possible, es-
peclally with a heavy endowment
back of 1t, but 1t would be folly to-
call it a newspaper" At best 1t
would merely chronicle a certain class
of events, much after the pattern of
trade and sectarian papers. 1t is
needless TO say that the person who
depended solely upon such ..ournal
for current information would be
totally unfit to form a correct judg-
ment Of events in the world about
him.

The scheme was an excellent one,

der ordinary circumstances, it should
not have worked well.
But about seven o'clock that morn

The killing of Mrs. Josephine
Frill by Grand Trunk engine, at
Chicago, was one of the most cruel
and pathetic murders ever perpe-
trated by the railway juggernaut. BY
her death her boy, a bright little fell
low only four years old, was left
without father or mother, the former
parent having died only about week
before. The little fellow was taken
to the Armory station, where he re-
manned for several days in the care of
strangers before any of his relatives
learned of his whereabouts or came
to claim him. The grade crossing
juggornaut is an unsentimental and
hideously cruel monster.

THOUGH injudiclous to condemn a
new law Offhand, it is safe to say that
legislation Incorporated in the last
army appropriation act prohibiting
the enlistment Of soldiers after ten
years service is Of questionable ex-
pediency. And this is safely said,
because the very people who should
be most interested in applying the
law are said to design its evasion. 1t
appears that this removing of all
prospect of the benefits of the re-
retired list or the Soldiers Home is
liable to lose its best men to every
regiment in the army when once
their present terms of enlistment ex-,
plre. To prevent such a disaster it is
proposed that the law shall be con-
strued as applying to privates only,
and that men of other grades worth
keeping shall be transferred, before
reaching the ten-year limit, to some
other classification, and upon being
enlisted in such grades may be trans
ferred back to the ranks If desirable.
Seeing that army legislation in recent
years has tended toward the eleva-
tion of army morals, and made
soldering more attractive pursuit
for decent young fellow, it's pity
if we have now struck a law that is
to nullify some of the results Of the
best Of recent reforms.

STOCK AND FARM.

Gypsum Advocate: j. /. Manon an
observing farmer near the sixth meri-
dian, few miles east OF this city, who
has his dwelling and premises we'll sur
rounded with fruit trees thought on last
Saturday that the prospect for q fruit
crop was good.
FL Dorado Advocate: A. @. Ramsey,
of the Buckeye ranch, De Graf, was
in the city. The Buckeye ranch
proper, Is seven miles in length and two
in width. But all of Mr. Ramsey's pas
ture land is not in this enclosure, for he
has three pastures which aggregate
twenty-five and one-half sections, or
14,4OO acres. Upon these lands 4,500
head OF cattle will be summered. Mr.
Ramsey has $50 head of cattle which
were fed and fattened on alfalfa He is
feeding them little corn now, but it
will require very little. He says alfalfa
is just about as good as corn to put ON
flesh. Several hundred acres of the
farming land Of this ranch is in alfalfa,
and 1900 acres of the grazing land is in
Kentucky blue grass, 800 Of which is
well set, and 900 acres coming on very
rapidly. The seed was sown right in
the prairie grass and as that grass dies
out, the blue grass 10 constantly getting
a fast hold. Three hundred acres of
this ranch are now in corn. Mr.. Ram
sey has renewed his lease for an
other five years. The stock is owned
exclusively by himself, and the lands by
the Buckeye Land & Cattle Co., Of
which he is himself a member.
The Topeka Capital reports A. T.
Riley, who has just returned from an
extended trip as saying: "Wheat in
south central and southwest Kansas,
along the Santa Fe, bids fair to make
as good a crop in as 1891.
"In talking with farmers in Reno,
Rice, Barton snd Pawnee counties,
they claim that while wheat is small,
yet it is promising as it was on May l,
last year, and while il is making very
slow growth, yet nine-tenths of it is up
and growing. The cool weather has
retarded the growth very much. In
all cases where L found poor wheat it
had been 'hogged' in and only about
two inches deep at that.
"South of the Arkansas river, where
the soil is more sandy, the crops are
better, and growing as fast as could be
expected on account of the cool, dry
weather. In Edwards and Ford coun-
ties, in southwest Kansas, as far west
as Dodge City, the wheat does not
make so much show yet farmers claim
Il is equally as promising as it was
May l, 1891. There is small per cent
Of the acreage sown that as yet does not
make much show. The practical farmers
tell me their wheat crop can stand two
weeks more Of dry, cool weather and
then with good soaking rains make
full half crop. 1t many seem strange
to some that wheat does not die. Yet
il they knew the nature OF the soil they
would readily understand why central
and western Kansas can stand much
more drouth than eastern Kansas and
eastern states. Owning to the large
ncearge sown would not be surprised
to see at least three-fourths as large Q
crop as last year"
