The Herrick cannery at The Dalles,
Oregon, has already begun to pack
horse meat. Six horses have already
been slaughtered and canned and Mr..
Herrick is now feeding a fine 3-year-
old flley on grain to see if the quality
of the meat will improve. Samples
of the canned horse meat have been
distributed in the larger cities and If
the demand warrants, one hundred
horses a day will be slaughtered and
canned.
1t is amusing sometimes to listen to
a conversation between two girls. A
reporter put in half an hour yesterday
listening to conversation in which
the first words he heard were: swell,
1 can't stay minute longer. l really
must go home" The reporter lin
gered around for thirty-fye minutes
and heard the same remark, with
slight variations, just fourteen times.
Yet when he left the girls were talk
ing with no apparent symptoms Of
quitting. If the girl who had no time
haC had ten minutes to spare she
would probably have been talking
yet.-Traveler.
Friday one of the doctors at
tending the state medical association
at Topeka got all the Copeland bell
boys into a room and hypnOtized
them. Then the doctors went to
their rooms and each went TO ringing
for bellboys, ice water etc. Even the
most vigorous ringing of the office
gong failed to bring a bellboy. Those
who know Col. J. G. Gordon, proprie-
tor of the Copeland, can imagine
what the atmosphere in that neigh
bOrhOOd smelt like about that time.
Finally Col. Gordon started up stairs
to hunt those bellboys, got tip and
ran onto all of them in one room,
But even his most vigorous adjec.
tives failed to move a single one Of
the boys. No imagination is viviC
enough to comprehend that scene
Finally the hypnOtiSt appeared, ex
planned the situation and released the
boys,
