violets.
There was a costume OF dull colors,
harmoniously set, worn by another tall
brunette. amulberry-colored cloth with
plain skirt and jacket back. opening
over a blouse front of cream colored
satin. and trimmed with profusion OF
knots and bows and kickshaws OF
watered-black silk ribbon. Indeed. OF
this old-fashioned material there was
everywhere profusion. due no doubt to
a decent regard for British example.
The same lugubrious trimming was

twenty-eight, the former comes much
nearer realization.

It doesn't seem right that the frs

Of April 1, of course; still I always look
carefully after my coattails on that
day. And ! greatly erjoy the motley
Of those who are careless about their
garmental caudals during the Feast of
All Fools. The sight makes me feel
quite boy again, for we youngsters
used to do that sort of thing in Phila-
aelphia thirty years ago. Dyes, did
1t, too. believe that some of the live
flier children of Philadelphia do it yet,
4 and have vitality and energy enough
= left to laugh at the result, as comic
paragrapher would say.
The most foolhardy of all the tricks
which can recall in connection with
this carnival of jeering and nonsense
Is one that / have never seen played
since I was old enough to require two
digits to express my age. A bag and
two boys were the ingredients of the
trick, and it never failed to score a
great success on quiet side street.
One boy got into the bag and the other
stood by it waiting for the victim. The
rest of the boys who were ''in on the
ground floor" were hiding in Railways
and doors and behind trucks across
1 the street. An innocent citizen came
, psauntering along. The boy who had
hold of the neck of the bag stopped
him with Say, mister, please give
me lift, will yer?" The innocent cit
izen usually acquiesced and took hold
of the bag to land it on the youngsters
shoulder. Just as he got it fairly in
his hands the boy in the bag suddenly
kicked and screamed. Innocent vic
tim, thinking it bagful of wildcats
or hyenas. let go quickly and ran OFF
with l.alpitating heart and hair on end.
while all the BOYS across the street
pursued him with villainous chorus
of April fool! April fool! Wash
your face and go to school!" or
4sonething to the same effect. 1t
! always seemed to me that the joke
was really on the boy in the bag;
he was sometimes dropped hastily
and heavily and was hurt. and occa-
sionally the April-fooled citizen gave
him thrashing besides for being too
funny. But it was an effective trick,
and often an old codger fingered in the
shadow on the opposite pavement to
witness and enjoy the sport. You have

of pig iron over into the next state

every year, and Mr.. Nat GoouwIn or
Mr.. Francis Wilson would be glad II
he could raise such a shout of laughter
as easily and unfailingly.
Apropos OF this train of thought

perhaps bear transplanting here. and

Two tramps stealing ride on the
east freight over the Union Pacific
last night had a severe experience
with the train crew. The men got
on at Solomon where they had been
staying for few days. When east Of

the train crew attempted to put them
off. tits claimed by the tramps that
the train was running at the rate OF
20 miles an hour when the attempt
was made and the tramps refused to
get of. The trainmcn tried to put
them of but did not succeed and in
the melee one Of the tramps who gives
his name as John New was struck
over the head with a brakeman's
lantern, cutting cash three inches
long in the scalp. He blcd profusely
but hung on until Abilene was

blood stained from head to foot,
ragged, dirty and unkcmpt. He was
not seriously injured, however, and

FEEDING WHEAT.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning

The State board Of agriculture has
lust issued another valuable docu-
ment, being n summary of crop yields

production for the present season as
follows:
Wheat, S7,l91 acres harvested, H.
l33, 1873 bushels yield.
Oats, 1924 acres harvested, 2o2,-
$50 bushels yield,
Rye, 4,2s6 acres, 1880 bushels.

Statements concerning the value of
wheat as feed for cattle and horses
are given By 7, Il. Nottorf; N. G.
