The next meeting of the Degree Of
Honor grand lodge will be held at EN-
poria.
Mr.. Winegarden, of Anthony, has in
vented wind mill, but it doesn't pump
anything stronger than water.
Col. Allen Buckner, the Fighting
parson" of Kansas, has received sd.
D." from Olympia college, Washington.
It is pretty near safe to say that the
Atchison Globe has more items about
fishing than any other paper in the
world.
A Garden City man has sold 100000
sweet potato plants this year. That is
a good neighborhood for the colored
brothers.
A Kansas man stopped his paper be-
cause there was too much reading in it.
People like to see advertisements in
newspapers.
Osborne county farmers, who have a
prospect of harvesting fifteen bushels of
wheat to the acre consider themselves in
great luck.
- The appearance of Harry L. Pestana
as memorial orator at Oakley on Dec
Grafton day justifes the inference that
he still has designs.
The Troy Chief is thirty-six years old,
and Sol Miller hasn't forgotten who was
the first subscriber, nor that he failed to
pay his subscription.
The artificial forests of Cowley county
consist of no acres of walnut, of honey
locust, 299 of cottonwood, 1913 of maple
and 497 of other varieties.
The editor of the Ell Dorado Republican,
who is married himself, is modest
enough to admit that the best dressed
man in the town is bachelor.
Lawrence TOWrnal: There is to be
balloon wedding in Leavenworth on the
Fourth of July. The couple will come
down when divorce is wanted.
The first thing the Kansas girls want
to see at the Worlds fair is the univer-
sity student from Lawrence who has the
management of 500 ice cream freezers.
A man in Scott county, who was on
the free coal list few winters ago now
has 5000 bushels of wheat in a new
granary which he is holding for bigger
price.
Graceland cemetery at Burlington has
been enclosed with an iron fence. And
yet people in cemeteries never try to
break out and nobody ever attempts to
break in.
In the Presbyterian general assembly
Kansas cast fourteen votes against DIR.
Briggs to four for him. The very word
election" has great fascination for
the Kansas people.
J. Ralph Burton is in favor of the |
Sunday opening of the Worlds fair. A |
man who wears the kind of clothes that
Burton buys wants to show them off |
seven days in the week.
A Kansas editor has discovered that |
farmers are always good readers and |
thinkers. And, by the way, John F.
Willis proves that the converse of this
proposition is equally true.
A Sherman county farmer sold his
his fields the next day. There is one |
sin which the Lord always Furnishes,
and that is unbelief in Kansas.
Ben Tunnel, Santa Fe engineer, has
been awarded verdict for $1,000 dam

tried the second time at Dodge City, and |
the plaintiff received the verdict each
time.
The Kansas State Normal will turn
out 100 new teachers this year, who will |
disseminate the Italian "a" throughout |
the state and carry the polish of En-
poria manuerisms to the remotest sec
tons of the commonwealth.
= Kansas has a school for every 1856 peo-
pie. In Illinois the proportion is one
school to 300 in Ohio the same, in Penn
sylvania one to 400 and in Massachu-
sets one to 600. Everybody will dis
cover from these figures why the people
of Kansas are so smart.
Topeka Capital; The New York Ha6-
eydaSher, which is authority, says of |
fashions this year that cit is bad form
for men to wear diamonds, beieweled
lockets and charms, diamond rings and
diamond pins" Kansas farmers will be
right in style this season.
J. w. Ady, United States district at
torney for Kansas, has announced his
intention of resigning as soon as he can
straighten up some cases he now has on
hand. He isn't going to wait to be
bounced, even if his commission does
not expire until next January.
A Chicago paper speaking of Thomas
Brewer Peacock, of Topeka, who deliv-
cred the ode at the women's newspaper
congress in Chicago the other day, said
that she was a thin nervous looking
man, and did not lift his eyes from his
poem while reading it, and it may have
been very good, no one heard it and
Knows
The Burlington Republican is persuad-
ed that it would be cheaper for the resi-
dents of that city to condemn and kill
the town cows and pay their owners for
them than to keep up the lawns and re-
pair the fences which. the animals de-
stroy and break down. Editor Smith is
so radical on this question that he won't
drink milk or eat butter.
