EXCITEMENT IN THE AIR.

One Small White Chicken, One Large
Gray Hawk and Eight Black Crows.
A white-feathered chicken in search of
worms strayed from the yard of q Feeding
hills farmer early Sunday afternoon, and
was soon scratching mesrily in the black
loan of d swamp near by. big hen hawk
that was sailing lazily along far up il the
sky tipped an eye downward and saw tho
no inner and Was very hungry.
The big. hungry hawk suddenly shot
down like a stone, and before the chick
could run or cluck, or even flap her funny
little wings shs WAC in the hawks cruel
claws. The farmer was cutting cornstocks
in a wagon near the barn, and did not see
the hawk with tapping wings rise into tho
air, clutching tight the little white chick,
frightened and still. But perched upon
some trees the other side of the swamp
were eight black crows They had seen it
all. Putting their heads together these
crows consulted hurrledly, and then. with II
loud defiant chorus of cav, cav. cav
they took wing.
The bird of prey had moi risen fifty feet
into the air before the crows had com
pletely surrounded him. They pecked at
him above, below, in front and behind.
They would rise many feet above and
shoot downward one after the other at the
hawk with the swiftness and celebrity OF
swallows. The hawk. burdened With the
breathless chick, could not endure the saw
age onset and soon sank among the trees.
But the crows, crying cav. cav" more de
tiantly than before, beat upon him still,
INC ut last the hawk dropped the chick
and angrllg dashed upward again. For
minutes the battle Waged over the tree tops.
The hawk was fierce ia his defence, but the
crows. using the same tactics, gradually
drove him higher and higher still. unit!
finally discounted and thoroughly beaten
the bird OF pEey sailed of to the south
whittier be was followed miles and miles
by two or more pugnRoious crows. The
othera now flew IN the opposite direction
and disappeared.
Meanwhile what had become of the little
white chick to whose rescue eight Grove
had SO chivelrously gomez With feather,
sadly rallied nnd her breaBt black with the
slime of the bog into which she had dropped
from tho claws of the hawk, the dazsl
chick was slowly and painfully hopping
back through the swamp TO the materna
roost.-Spring6eld Republican.

The baggage car is usually heavily

J.. Finley. of this county. In the after
noon. session, same day. Capt. j. III.
Churchill's name appears for the topic
of Alfalfa which is of late attracting
so much attention.
it is no small distinction for South

pOrtant cereal grown and exported by
.his state, should ba made an especial
subject for this part Of Kansas. and dis
cussion of its possibilities in this great
region led by Il Southwestern Kansas
mar. but Capt. Finley has Il thorough
knowledge of the subject. both by OBJ
servation and personal experience, and
his former efforts before the State Board
demonstrates that he has the ability To
tell What he knows.
As to alfalfa. it is not surprising that
our friend Churchill should be asked TO
handle this question. Southwest Kan

liable of all forage plants. and cir.
Churchill is becoming widely known rs
Il leading man in its culture and practical
exponent of the remarkable success of
its use on the western plains for cattle

is becoming more generally considered
in agricultural circles of the entire coun-
try. The editor of the American Farmer,
the oldest agricultural paper in America
has observed from the programme the
work assigned Capt. Churchill, and
written that gentleman for an advance
copy Of his paper on the subject of al
falfa, which is TO be read ut the State
Board meeting on the 18th.

Murdock Saws Times are Good.

Senator I. B. Murdoch. of Ell Dorado.
is atCopeland. He said last evening
kansas is all right. All this growing
and grumbling about hard times is nom
sense. There has never been a time
when people in my section were making
so n.uch money. Seven or eight years
ago. during boom times. there was an
abundance of money. but much of it was
borrowed and great deal of it came from
fortunate land speculations. There is
just as much money in our country now
as then. and the best of it is that the
money now is made there in legitimate
business. The farmers are building
more good houses and barns and improv-
ing their farms more than they ever did.
and debts are decreasing with rapidity
that is wonderful.
