At the last annual meeting of the
Kansas Swine Breeders' Association,
P. A. Pearson, of Kinsley, gave brief
paper on the advantages and disad-
vantages of exhibiting swine at the
fairs:
"Among the advantages Of exhibit
ing at fairs are. in seeing other swine
and comparing them with our own we
are enabled to form a more correct
estimate of our own than we could do
if we did not have the opportunity to
compare them. Perhaps almost every
man thinks when he shapes an animal
for exhibition that he has q world
beater, for he perhaps fails to see the
weak points in his own animal, being
blinded by his admiration of some of
the better points in his animal in
which he really does excel. But when
we place them ON exhibition at fairs,
and compare them with others in their
class, we are enabled to see where ours
lack in filling the standard of perfec-
ton. Now, by this comparison we
have learned our first lesson. Know.
ing where our animal is wanting, we
at once seek one of the opposite sex
that excels in those points where ours
are weak. We secure that animal,
mate them, and find that their Off
spring are great improvement over
their ancestors; in other words, that
their progeny will have the better
points of both parents.
''By this exhibition and comparison,
followed by purchasing and mating,
the exhibitor has gained an advantage
that he perhaps never would have done
had he not been an exhibitor, both in
improving his herd and in financial
way, for the better hogs we send out
the higher prices we will be able to
get for them, and man that makes
business of exhibiting at fairs and
pursues the course that have sug-
gested will soon be known as breeder
that has superior stock.
II have spoken of the selfish side.
There is a general side to this ques-
ton, and that is from the fact that
our fairs are largely attended by farm
ers and breeders who raise more or
less swine, and being able to see i'm
proved stock, are stimulated to try
their hand. They purchase good ami
mails and breed them. They by this
means help to improve the stock of the
entire country. Hence general bene-
fit accrues by reason of our stock being
on exhibition at fairs, where all can
learn lesson and see the advantages
of having improved stock.
"The disadvantages are very few.
There is one disadvantage that the
breeder has to contend with in exhib-
iting at fairs, and that is in having to
meet men who exhibit bL5 few of their
own breeding, but buy up the better
ones and place them on exhibition at
the leading fairs, thereby gaming an
undue advantage over those of less
means, but perhaps far better breed
ers. This should be corrected by in
ducing our fair associations to offer
their largest premiums for stock bred
and owned by exhibitor. A second
comes from the fact that
fair associations do not offer sufficient
premiums to pay the expense of exhib-
iting, and don't pay what they do
offer.''

If we followed the republican prac-
tice of Dragging we would have half
a dozen ROSTERS at the top of our page,
proclaiming populist victory in this
county:
A sheriff elected by IA majority!
A surveyor by over 1854!
Every county officer elected but one!
A gain of over 200 votes since 1891
But we do not take our readers for
fools, as the republican papers do
theirs, and so we consider the matter
in reasonable manner. We do not
assume that all Of the democrats and
republicans who voted for Dave Heath
for sheriff have changed their politics
and become popalists. The vote does
show, however, that the peoples
party has majority in this county
when there is no democratic ticket,
and plurality when there is one, and
that this condition is to continue.

night, about 2 o'clock. John Gunkle,
who lives in that part of town and who
had been filling up on intoxicating
liquor of some kind for several days,
went home and without any provoca-
ton or justification assaulted his son
William, lad about eighteen years
old, and but for the interference of
neighhors who heard the cries of the
family for help, would undoubtedly
have done him serious injury. A
large crowd gathered in few minutes
and put stop to Gunkle's proceedings.
Later he was arrested and confined in
Jail over night and in the morning
brought before the police judge and
fined s. and costs.

FASHION CAN'T BE FORCED.
Style in Costume Generally the Result of
Accident or Incident.

Style In Costume Generally the Result Of
Accident or Incident.
From the first beginnings of the his
tory of dress, which date from the gar
den of Eden, there is no instance of
the deliberate adoption Of a costume.
No person or body of persons has ever
said: go to, we will now make a
fashion, and has made it. The his
tory of dress Is the history of the acct
dental and the incidental. It does not
require a very long memory to look
back over the futile efforts to force
fashions, supported by the most unan-
swerable arguments, on the unofend-
ing women of this country. The New
York Evening Sun instances bloomer
costume, which was organized and pro-
noted by Mrs. Amelia Bloomer, now a
Woodworking woman in long skirts
out west. A few years ago the divided
skirt, which Lady Barberton has for
twenty years tried to coax English
women into, was busily taken up and
eloquently promulgated in this coun-
try. A number of 'outwardly well-clad
women were really persuaded to put II
on. It proved to be not only ugly, but
q nuisance, and the same women not
only discarded it, but put on tights; II
is easy to go down hill. The pro.
moters of the divided skirt now call
themselves national council, and
have put forth another scheme of dress
for women. National is large word.
It is pretty safe to say that unless the
national council is backed up by the
army and navy there is very little hope
that their costumes. even those un.
qualifedly supported by reason and
anatomy, will be adopted by the WON
en- of the country. Neither reason nor
anatomy has ever had much to do in
enforcing fashion.

He was interrupted in his ineendiary
reflections by Dr.. Walter May bury, who

Something in Simeon's face as he
shrank to one side of the road excited
the doctors pity. He recognized him as

stables.

And when he had dropped the money
in the boys hand the doctor drove away.
There was great lump in Simeon's
throat This was one of the rare occa.
sions when he came near crying. He
was already thinking better of his de.
J termination to burn the schoolhouse
when he happened to turn his head and
saw one of Mr.. Carver's skyrockets. A
red flag would have been quite as pleas
ing to a mad bull. He shut his teeth
very hard and hurried on to the school
house
The bottle he carried contained kero-
sene oil, and in addition to this he had
brought with him some matches and a
slow fuse. The latter he had picked up
in the street that day after some boy
had burnt all his frecrackers and had
no further use for it. Simeon opened a
window of the schooIhouse and crawled
in. He poured the oil on the floor and
lighted the fuse. Then he ran away.
| The wind was blowing from the
southwest. It blew over Schoolhouse
common into DR.. Maybury's windows
less than a hundred feet away. The
guilty boy had hidden under hedge
and was waiting for developments.
The breeze had freshened when a
curious instinct made him creep out OF
his retreat and try to discover which
way it was blowing. He trembled from
head to foot, and his teeth began
chattering in his head. It had dawned
upon his sleepy perception that if the
schoolhouse burned Dr. Maybury's
house would also be destroyed. He
was unwilling that this should occur.
DR.. Maybury was the only man who
had ever spoken kindly to him, and the
boy would not injure him. He must 60
back and stop that fire.

Simeon Sulks by the neck, because OF
his total depravity. And yet the LAD
never did anything worse than miss his
lessons, and to fail to satisfactorily ex-
plain why he missed them. He was
continually being piled with questions
that were too suddenly asked or were
too profound to penetrate to his slow
intelligence.
Why he stayed in the school no one
imagined. He did not appear like one
who had an inordinate thirst for knowl-
edge. No one in the world tried to IN
fluence him to study, nor gave him the
slightest encouragement to continue
his efforts in that direction. While he
was reciting, all other lessons were sus-
pended; the sch GLARS snickered or open
ly laughed at his blunders, and the
teacher scolded or punished without re-
straint
The boy endured this treatment with
logged patience until the school year
was, at it's close. He had SO often been
told that he was everything wicked
that it would scarcely have been sur
prising if he had come to believe it, and
to live up to his reputation. But he
did not believe 1t. Deep beneath his
reticence was conviction that he de-
served better treatment than he was re-
ceiving. He had learned to hate the
schoolmaster who punished him for his
ignorance. He had silently endured a
great deal of suffering. but he was not
SO obtuse as he appeared. He had suf-
fered more from ridicule than from
Horace Carver's ferule; but the finish
ing trial of his patience came on the
third of July-the last day of school
before the summer vacation.
1t had been Mr.. Horace Carver's hab-
it to make little speech before he
closed the school for the summer, and
on this occasion he did not vary his
rule. He told the old story of the early
struggle in this country for independ-
ence. He told of all the taxes, battles
and humiliation to which the British
government had subjected the people
in this country. He fought the battles of
Lexington and Bunker Hill over again.
He told of the privation, the cruelty,
the cold by which the American SOL
diers suffered to make the United States
an independent government. And then
he got down to that celebrated declara-
ton of independence, which is the key
note of our great government, which de-
clares all men equal and which rings
with se]f-respect, justice and independ-
ence from beginning TO end. Poor
downtrodden Simeon Sulks listened and
began to think better of himself be-
cause he was an American and entitled
to some rights!
When Mr.. Horace Carver told of the
signing of the declaration of independ-
ence on that famous Fourth of July in
1776, he said that it was everybody
duty to celebrate the anniversary of this
great event. He meant to give the
girls and boys Of his school treat on
the night of the Fourth. He had
bought a lot of fireworks for his chill
dren, and they would be set off on
Playfair hill after eight O'Clock.
Every scholar in the school was invited
( to be there to witness the display

THE ART OF MOVEMENT.
Net Easily Acquired by Little People Al
dlcted to Quick Motions.


dicted to Quick Motions.
Every girl desires personal grace, the
grace not only of the spirit but of the
body, and wishes it should fill and con-
duct all her motions. If she is born
long limbed and has kept herself supple
by sufficient exercise, and knows In
stinctively something of the attack
and retreat of gesture or of movement,
she may have her desire without much
effort. But if she is a stubby little
body and always in a hurry she is not
the one to illustrate the grace except
after special instruction. Grace is by
no means necessarily an animal char
acteristic, because horse may be grace
full because of his long curves and the
exhibition they receive from the lus-
trousness of his coat, because of the
flowing lines of name and tail, of the
free movement without let OF him
drance, the long step, the slender limb
and the whole beauty of his contour.
But anything more awkward than a
cow it would be hard to find. And
again, although a hound or a great
rough st. Bernard dog is full of grace,
each in a separate way, a pug or a bull
dog is as clumsy as it comes within the
power of any living thing to be.
Although the first idea of grace is
that of slow and leisurely movement,
yet there may be quite as much grace
in the rapid one, in the sweeping fight
ola bird, in the floating of the Walter,
in the sinuous circling of the fish, in
the leaping of a cat--that thing of
curves and bending ease. The real
grace of motion is that which has no
sharp corners and angular lines, no
halts or stumbles; it may be slow, it
may be swift, it must be on the idea of
the curved line. Now this rounded mo-
ton can never be achieved by the fac
cid and languid muscle any more than
by the stiff one Or by the lame one.
The muscle must be a good one, filed
with the red blood and the new cells of
exercise, answering instantly the con-
troll of the nerve and sound with
health. The long and slender limb,
that looks in repose as if it should have
the movement of a dream of grace, is
useless if its muscles have no mastery
of it, if the muscles themselves are so
rigid that the will has little control of
them, and only exercise, and that of
an intelligent sort, will make that limb
obedient to the will and make the will
know how to order it. This reason,
among others of still more consequence,
makes gymnastics of great value in the
education of girls. OF course they are
| of still greater value in relation to their
general health, in the expansion of the
chest, the ordering of the internal econ
omy, the bearing of the body's weight
and much more of the sort.-Harper' s
BaZar
