Mr.. Clatterby Crawls.

After the usual periodical blast against
ihe wild extravaganza with which Mrs.
Clatterby manages the household affairs,
the burning of two bundles of wood where
one would do, n SO on, Mr.. Clatterby
winds up with:
I'D just like to have the running of
this house for about one week. I'd show
you what could be done. There's no end
OF little things that we might economize
On, and every little helps. Now we're get
ting an extra quart of milk a day. That's
only 8 cents a day, but that's $25 a year,
enough to buy shoes for all the children,
and stockings too. Why, gracious! there's
lots of things we might cut off and never
miss 'em at ALL"
"Well, JONAS" said Mrs. Clatterby,
suppose you try it and see what you can
do. You take the money this week, and
you run the house. If you think you can
run this house on what you give me and
buy clothes for the children and pay the
laundry and the gas and the 40 other
things that you don't know anything
about, why, you're nightly mistaken. But
you take the money, and you try it just
one week, and you'll"-
Then Mr.. Clatterby went off to smoke
his cigar and said no more. He crawled,

AT this stage, rapidity becomes the chief
characteristic of Bonaparte. He darts
from place to place with astonishing celer-
ity, and in many instances with INSULT
cient or undiscoverable motives of transit.
His flights are like those of a bird; say,
an eagles. Thus during his stay in Cor
sica he suddenly springs of, in October of
1897, and is at Paris for more than a
month. But at Christmas he is back at
Ajaccio with an extension of his leave of
absence. Again, during his stay at Aux
onne, he speeds away for fifteen days to
Seurre, in command of a small detachment
to suppress a riot. These movements are
premonitory of those extraordinary I'm
perial flights with which he subsequently
s%tartles all Europe and the world.
The stay at Auxopne extended with the
brief interruption referred to, from May
of 11SS to September of 17S9-a period Of

1T RAISED = DUST.
Storm Yesterday Not Good Thing for the
Southwest.


The fine italian climate Of southern
Kansas and Oklahoma seemed To have
gone off in an Easter Monday jag yes
terday. There was n firing or fiounce
OF sand all along the horizon in every
direction. The air was full of real
estate and the man who walked across
the street with his mouth open was
quite sure to bite the dust.
Rufe Cone came in from his country
seat about 10 o'clock and without any
reflection on him. il was very notice
able that he had more sand than al
anv time while he was chief of police.
He had il in his eyes, his ears. mis-
mouth and in his hair. The only thing
about him that looked clear and clean
was that fine damon scarf pin.
You fellows don't know anything
about sand" said the ex-chief. You
ought TO he out in the prairies like US
farmers. 1 have never seen the like.
4 gust Of wind comes along over
ploughed ground, watts an inch OF
sandy soil across the wheat field and
it mows il down like scythe. / think
ii is the worst thing that has happen
ed the crops so far and 1 am discour-
aged for the first time
While there is no question but what
the dust storm was very isagreeabie
in this section ii was nothing COM
pared with other places. Down in the
Panhandle of Texas almost perpetual
darkness prevailed. The wind blew q
fearful gale there and carrying the
sand and dust Of the plains with il
,V erything looked like choas. The same
condition prevailed in the western part
Of the strip and on and along north
through Harper and Barber counties.

CAN NOT SHIP OIL
THE PEOPLE OF EEODESHA say so
AFTER 4 FAIR TRIAL
Sir. Wetmore Gives q Few Pointers in an
Indirect Way in Regard to the Oil Bus
mess at the Metropolis OF Wilson
County--The Best OIL West OF the ney-
stone State, bat the Railroads will not
Allow II to be sl;ippeti--They Bring Oil
From Ohio 20 Kansas City for 40 Cents
and Charge a1.6G Prom Neodesha.

". J. WetTyore came in from Neode-
sha on Saturday and is enthusiastic in
regard to the outcome OF the oil fields
al that place and he is not backward
in expressing the belief that Kansas
will in the very near future stand Up
right along side of Pennsylvania in the
production Of petroleum
Mr.. Wetmore says: The oil found
at Neodesha can be refined ike the
Pennsylvania oil and if there is any dif
ference the Kansas oil IS superior to
that produced in the Keystone state.
1T is generally known that all our
firset quality of refined oil comes from
Pennsylvania, but that is nevertheless
the case The Ohio production can not
be refined by any known process, and
the result is that Ohio oil is always
inferior
THE low grade oil of Ohio Is used for
fuel and for lubrcating purposes, and
for such purposes il is as good as any
Pennsylvania oil. Then Kansas oil VIII
compete with the Pennsylvania variety
of high grade oil, and being the only
oil field Of the high grade variety west
of the Mississippi river it ought to sup
ply all western markets.
There are now LOCO barrels of oil
in store q Neodesha. They have every
thing full of oil and the storage capacity
will have to he increased or less oil
must be produced.
THE hope of the people of Neodesha
is that the Standard Oil company will
take hold Of their OF fields and develope
them still farther and build refineries.
The Standard people are now at Neode-
sha trying to get control OF the entire
oil field.
"Guffv & Galley" Mr.. Vetmore says.
s"oun most of the oil at Neodesha. and
they find il hard TO compete with the
Standard conmpay. because they are
unable to secure rates. The Standard
OIL company ship such immense Quanti-
ties Of oil that they can secure rates OF
the railroads which give them great
advantage over smaller producers.
The Neodesha company shipped a
car load of oil to Hutchinson and sold
ii for the same money that the Standard
company gets for its oil. This was done
Mr. Wetmore thinks. in order 10 make a
case for the state railroad commits
sioner to pass upon.
"Te NeodeSha people claim that the
railroads charge them two or three
times more for shipping a barrel of oil
