They Didn't Fight.

From the Lawrence (Kan.) World.
Personalities in journalism used to
be carried a great deal further than
they are now. In olden times when
M. ID. Sampson, now OF the Republic
can ran the Saline Journal, A. G.
Stacy ran the Herald. They scrap
ped continually, and it got so bad
that Stacy went to SIMPSONS Office
to clean it out. Sampson was writ
ing and kept on with his work.
Stacy stood around while without
saying anything. Finally Sampson
said, well. what is it, Stacy?'' 81
came up here to lick you," was the
reply. 'All right, replied Sampson,
ego ahead and do it." During ali
this time the writing continued
Sampson was SO cool that Stacy
soon cooled off also, and after that
they were friends.

Keeping Up With His Daughter.
SleepinR After Meals

Physicians now declare that any
one who feels inclined to sleep after a
meal is committing a crime against
his digestion by not indulging his
somnolency. The theory that these
iconoclasts advance is that when a
person has taken heavy dinner the
stomach demands special influx of
blood wherewith to accomplish it's
digestion. The brain cannot meet
this demand unless the cerebral func.
tions be meanwhile partially or
wholly suspended hence the benefit
"of 40 wfnks." Dyspeptics will find
this very pleasant medicine, and if
there are some who still think it an
indolent practice all we can hope for
Is their reformation.

CHOICE OF SEN ATORS.

1t has been suggested that pri-
maries for the selection of United
States Senators would be a fire
brand in the party Wesubmit that
the result would be exactly the oppo-
site. Candidates for the Legislature
would be relieved of this issue, as
they would feel bound to honor the
expressed will of the people, whatever
their individual preference might be.
The question of choice between
Jarvis and Ransom, as the Senator
from the Eastern part of the State,
is certain to be an issue in the cam
paign, primary or no primary, and
we think the issue can be settled with
far less friction by a direct vote of
the people than to have1t hinge upon
the election of members of the Legis-
lature. 1t seems to us there can be
no question about this and we hope
the Democratic State Convention
will lend it's influence in favor of the
primaries and thus contribute to
party harmony and at the same
time recognize the fact that the peo-
pie should have direct voice in the
selection of their Senators.
The people, then, should decline to
vote in the primaries for any candi.
date for Senator who does not pledge
himself to vote for bill proposing
an amendment 70 the Constitution
that will place the election of Sena-
tors 10 the halds of The people. Such
a bill has twice passed the House of
Representatives, but it IS not at all
probable that it viii be favored by
the present Senate, or any by the
Senate at any time, unless the people
shall speak out upon this subject
and assert their sovereignty. The
primary affords an effective means
for the accomplishment Of this end.

lightning within five minutes. An
examination showed that both bolts
must have entered the barn at the

Mixing and Ripening Cream

rom IOHuDl
Miss E. A. Maidment writes as to-
lows on a simple subject whereon
many ordinary butter makers have
yet ii great deal to learn: Cream of
different ages should not be mixed
Immediately before being put into
the churn. They may be mixed, but
it should be done twelve hours before
churniDg. That Is, no cream should
be mixed with that which has been
properly ripened, unless 1t is done
twelve hours before churning, or long
enough for it all to be equal in ripe
ness before churned. The reason is
that sweet cream takes longer to
churn than ripened cream. So that
II you mix sweet cream with ripened
cream Immediately before churniDg,
the ripened part churns first and the
sweet portion comes off in the butter
milk If cream is allowed to become
very much too sour before being
churned other changes beside the
production of Tactic acid may set in;
and thus it is that very sour cream
is very often difficult to churn, be
cause it takes longer to churn, and if
cream is allowed to get very sour it
then takes long time to cburn, on
account of the different changes
which take place during souring.

pointing the gun at him. The very
next man we met was q farmer whom
we had always considered star sub

or paid a cent In seven years. But
when he saw that gun he waltzed up
with q SO bill. When we got home
we found a load of hay, fifteen
