Chicago Times: Owing to the faulty
construction of the Pullman dining
cars two of the cooks on the Charlton
of the Chicago and Alton Road, which
burned, escaped. When one considers
how seldom Providence comes up with
the dining-car cook it does seem that
some ingenious inventor ought to ar
range device that would hold the cul-
prits safely while they burned. OF
course we are referring to the class,
not to the individuals. If the two men
who escaped from the Charlton will
consider the burning Of that car as a
lesson to them and reform, the Times
will have nothing further to say. But
they will not reform. They will so on
cooking an arrangement of canned
meats which is variously entituled on
the menu, but which flavors the palate
Of the pilgrim for weeks with one
flavor. They will make coffee which
is weaker than anything on this earth
except dining-car tea. And they will
conspire to produce dyspepsia with a
kind of pie that is simply unique in its
biliousness.

KANSAS RAILRoADING.

General Manager Frey, of the Santa
Fe has issued an order which requires
that employees of the shops in 'Tope-
ka shall hereafter work ten hours per
day for six days, instead of eight hours
per day for four days. Employees in
other division shops are to put in nine
hours per day for six days.
The Rock Island has made a rate Of
one and one-third fare for the south con-
ference of the Methodist church, which
will be held in Burlington, Kan, March II.
The railroads have announced that
they will make a rate of one fare for the
round trip for the annual meeting of
the Young Peoples Society Christian
Endeavor, which will be held in Wichita
in May. The rate will apply to Supe-
rior, Neb., ST. Joseph, and Kansas City,
Mo.
Santa Fe officials are congratulating
themselves upon the speedy justice Wis
tied upon William West, Arthur M.
Grundy, Tom Morgan, alias William
Burch, and Lee Downer, at Emporia.
The men were convicted Of robbing
freight car on the Santa Fe tracks at
Sterry, a siding west Of Emporia. There
was an interesting chase after the young
mon on the part Of Special Agent Mont
gomery and the sheriff Of Lyon county
and deputies. The party left Emporia
in a switch engine and arrived at the
siding to find that the thieves had es-
capped. An exciting chase across the
country and along the Cottonwood riv-
or in the timber resulted in overhauling
the men. They were taken to Emporia,
placed in Jail, later tried and sent to the
penitentiary for one year. Sheriff Evans
has taken the men to the penitentiary
and the Santa Fe officials believe that
another gang of box car thieves has
been wiped out in less than ten days.
United States District Judge Riner
has decided the big suit brought by the
government against the Union Pacific
Railroad company, for $4,000 and
thirty-three years interest in favor OF
the railroad company. The suit was
brought to recover the price Of the
right-oi-way of the railroad between
Kansas City and Lawrence, which, when
the road was built, was the Delaware
Indian reservation. The government
claimed that the road had not paid for
the land taken, nor for the improvements
on the property, and the suit was
brought to compel the payment of the
price of the land and improvements
which was fixed at $4,000. The rail-
road company claimed the land under a
grant from the government, and at the
session of the United States circuit
court, Attorney A. l.. Williams filed u
demurrer to the suit, which Judge Riner
has sustained. Tie case will be taken
to the United States court OF appeals.

The New York World has asked the
banks why they are boarding $S1000,-
600 of gold for which they have abso-
lutely no use whatever. Their replies
are evasive, shifty, insincere. They
have no obligations payable in gold.
Their notes are redeemable not by
themselves but by the government, and
not in gold but in greenbacks. The
checks drawn by their depositors are
payable in paper alone, and, in fact,
are paid in nothing else. There is no
possible reason for them to hoard gold
except that they expect premium up
on it or that they wish to force the gov
eminent to borrow money which it
does not need. Their talk about coun-
try banks occasionally demanding gold
remittances is folderol. They can go
to the subtreasury upon every sudh oc-
casion and exchange greenbacks for
gold in any quantity they please. The
banks still owe to the public an answer
to the Worlds question.

The Hoisington Dispatch says that
man in Barton county brought load
OF wood to town, sold it for 50, spent
the money for whisky and then went
home with 800 pounds of aid coal in his
wagon.
From Goodland The farmers of this
region are jubllant over the recent CO.
pious rainfall and are all busy putting
in their spring wheat. The wheat that
had been sown before the recent rain is
nicely sprouted and the prospects for
bonntiful crop are the best ever seen at
this season Of the year in the history
OF the county.

osition OF New York and Brazilian
Coffee company to locate a branch house
at Kansas City with special view to

flour has become recognized, and it is
the purpose Of the company to ship it

Troy Times; The loading OF the big
drove Of 5000 sheep east OF town three
miles called out good sized crowd OF
spectators-so many, in fact that they
were in the way, A Chicago man pur-
chased the sheep. Twenty three double
deck cars we're required for their trans
portation. O. B. Hart pronounced the
loading more fun than circus. The
yards we're temporary affairs and were
broken down time or two, nearly caus-
ing damaging stampedes At such
times the spectators were able to make
themselves useful.
Topeka Journal: Real estate mon
say that there has never been such q
scramble to rent farms as is going on
now. Big and little farms, stony land
and land rich and productive is snapped
up with equal suddenness. A real es-
tate agent who has farm to rent is
besleged by a dozen applicants A
great many of those who want to rent
farms are men who own western lands
and have deserted them in search OF more
fruitful fields. Others are workipgmen
from cities who have been thrown out
of employment. The supply is not equal
to the demand and many are going to
other eastern counties. Farm owners
are consequently charging whatever
they choose for rent. 1t has usually
been the custom to rent farms for
share of the crop, but this year nearly
all farms are let for "cash rent" that is
for stipulated sum for the use of the
farm for year. AS much as 1920 has
been asked for an eighty acre farm and
the rents are great deal higher than
they have ever been in the history of
the county. One can now purchase
quarter section of western lands for less
thai, he is charged for one years rent on
the same number of acres in Shawnee
county.

1t is reported that Gar Nicholas II.
Intends to remove the press censorship
that has made 1t impossible for Russian
newspapers to exist, or for foreign cor
respondents to make the truth concern
ing Russian affairs known to the world.
We shall believe this when 1t is done,
not before. That the result Of freedom
of the press in Russia would mean con-
stitutlonal government Is certain That
the Gar has made up his mind against
such concession is proved by his dec
laration that he win maintain the au-
tocracy. So far the persecution Of the
Jews and Stundists continues and ex-
pectations Of radical changes still re-
main expectations.

Size of Seed Wheat Kernels.

Mr.. f. d. COburn, secretary Of the
Kansas State Board of Agriculture, in
advising the farmers of his State about
sowing wheat says
GAS the subject of how much to sow
per acre is one of no small importance,
permit me to call attention to the wide
difference in the quantity of actual
seed there may be in bushels Of differ
ent wheat, resulting from the size Of
the grains, even when of the same va
riety. 1t has been noted at the Iowa
experiment station that one bushel Of
a variety grown in California contain
ed only 4S9,S19 grains, while a bushel
of Turkey Red from Iowa had 1,1S4, 1893
grains, or about 21a times as many.
Other bushels Of the same variety, one
from Iowa and one grown in Kansas,
had upwards of 100000 grains each.
The average of all the samples tested at
the station was 770,20O grains per
bushel. The point l wish to make is
that while two men may be agreed that
a bushel Of wheat may be about the
proper quantity to sow per acre, one
may be seeding twice or more than
twice as heavily as the other"

Guy Fawkes seems destined to Inn
mortality through the profound conser-
vatism Of the English people, Dis
patches from London say that when the
fourth session of the thirteenth parlia-
mcnt Of Queen Victoria opened at 2
o'clock the Lord Chamberlain, Lord
Darlington, accompanied by ten yeo-
men and number Of policemen, made
the customary Guy Fawkes search Of
the vaults Of the houses Of parliament,
In order to see that no preparations had
been made to blow up the buildings.
James l. has slept with his ancestors
these many seasons. 1t was early in mis-
reign the Guy Fawkes plot was engag-
ed in. For more than 200 years upon
the assembling Of any parliament the
first business has been that which Is
gone through to-day as carefully as 1t
was when Guy Fawkos' performance
was fresh in the public mind. Conser-
vatlsm is great potency in the English
mind, leading at times to absurditles

abolish a custom for which nobody
could give an account. Visiting Lon
don, he saw some of the Horse guards
at particular place every day regular
ly relieved, and observing no particu-
lar reason for their presence he pushed
his inquiries for information to the
headquarters of the army. The Horse
guards were unable to say why this
guard was kept, but concluded to ascer-
tain wherein the origin was, and found
that some treasure was ordered to be
guarded at this particular point in the
reign of Charles II. and the Horse
guards had been sending soldiers to
The same spot ever since, Even when
the New Zealander will have taken his
place upon a broken arch Of London
bridge to sketch the ruins of st. Paul's
he will observe a few dingy officials
looking through the ruins of Westmins-
ter for a repetition Of Guy Fawkes'
plot.

The Adhesive Plaster.

In one family, where there are nu-
merous sideaches, backaches, bruises,
and strains, the porous plaster has
come to be a recognized institution. It's
putting on is generally accepted with
delight, but when it comes to the taking
off, the "oh, dears," and "don'ts and
cries of pain are many and emphatic.
Even after the plaster is pulled off
there is a layer of adhesive gum on the
skin that is struggled with in all sorts
of ways. Sometimes the razor Is en-
ployed for scraping; sometimes a sharp
knife is brought into use, and, again,
soft warm cloth is pressed over the
spot, and when this has firmly attached
itself, the peeling process goes on.
Those who have occasion to use this
application will find immediate relief
from their annoyance, if they will,
after raising one side Of the plaster,
wet the surface Of the skin with alco-
hol allowing it to run down as the
plaster is pulled little. If any Of the
gummy substance remains, bit of rag
wet with alcohol will cleanse the sur
face almost Immediately. This, also,
has another advantage, in that the
stimulating effect Of the alcohol pre-
vents any possible cold that might be
taken on account of the removal of the
warm plaster. This is but trife, but
it makes easy something that has al
ways been a bugbear, especially to chill
dren, and is we'll worth trying.-New
York Ledger.

somnla and the fiabby lids of the dope
fiend. That, then, was the reason Ben
Wung had taken to me so promptly.
The room into which had been
somewhat forcibly ushered was a dirty
little cubbyhole, containing n bed,
table and two little chairs. When the
opium was ready, Wung drew the other
chair close to mine, seated himself and
put the layout on his knee.

me, "and then we have nice sleep"
mo, we won't" exclaimed, think
ing the affair had gone far enough. AS
l arose from the chair he pushed me
back roughly.

evil nature flashing through his wicked
eyes.
His sudden movement caused him to
drop one of the pipes, and as he step
ped to pick it up saw my opportunity.
1t was the work of moment to give the
creature a violent push, and in the
twinkling Of an eye Wung, the chair
and the layout were all in a bunch ON
the floor!
How he swore, and how sorry was
that could not understand the Chi
nese language! He was fat and clum-
sy, and the chair was lying on his head.
| could not help laughing as stepped
around him carefully and made dash
for the outside door,
Imagine my dismay to find that he
had withdrawn the key! And even as
l fumbled at the knob he was beside
me, looking uglier and more wicked
than ever, AS he grasped my arm
drew back and said:
keep your hands off me, you miser-
able creature, and unlock this door at
oncew
you stay here" he began, but went
no further, for had drawn a revolver
from my pocket and had pointed it
straight at his face.
"No shoot! No shootw he implored,
backing away from me and presenting
in his sudden and abject cowardice n
most ludicrous contrast to his previous
manner.
"Open the door or l will"
With fumbling fingers he obeyed, and

moved his chair close to mine. While
l was looking through the lesson books
lie was making an inventory Of my
personal appearance.

He read quite well, and was credit
to his regular teachers instructions.
But he evidently was not in the humor
for study, for, after a while, he shut
the book with bang, and informed me
he was tired and couldn't read any lon
ger. Thinking had better go to head
quarters to see what was to be done
next, rose from my chair. AS did so,
Ben Wung caught hold of my dress.
"Where you go?" he asked.

So he released my dress and let me

"Ben Wung won't study any more"
] said to the teacher; che wants to talk,
and l am not inclined to talk to him.
Can't read with one Of the others"
"Oh, my dear! that wouldn't do at
allp' exclaimed the little woman in
great alarm. "If you go to any of the
others, he will leave the room and
never come backw
Seeing how troubled she looked over
the probable loss of such dirty disrep-
utable sheep from her fold, relented.
"Well, I'll go back to the beast, but
he fatty refuses to study or read, so /
won't know what to do with him."
"Talk, if he wants to, my dear. Who
knows but you may be able to speak
the Word in good season"
When sat down by the greasy Wung
again, he began:

here. You nice lii glul. You teach

How his wicked little eyes danced, as
he gave his chair hitch and pressed
close against me!
"You know dope?" he whispered

"YOu come see my laundly. give

Just then the closing bell rang, and l
barely had time to scribble Wungs adj
dress before the last hymn was given
out. AS the pupils filed out Wung whis-
pered in my ear:

1 shook my head and gave him a
sweet smile.
The very next day went to the East
Side to find Wings laundry. 1t was
dingy little den, quite as dirty as Wung
himself. When 1 entered Wung was
talking to a customer. When she had
gone Wung locked the door. Before l
fairly knew what he was about he had
pulled down the heavy red curtain and
