Immediately following the re-estab-

take it. Hereafter people who live at
Quinton Heights can come to Topeka for
their mail, as the carrier system will not
be extended there. The force of carriers,

Dutch Celebrations.

Foreigners sometimes smile at the
way Dutch people go on celebrating
historical events which occurred sew
era1 centuries ago, and there is no deny
ing that the yearly commemoration Of
a siege of Groningen in the year 1894
may become somewhat monotonous,
but it keeps the memory of such events
fresh among the younger generation
better than any history learned at
school. Unlike the old lady who did not
care for history, because she thought
''by-gones had better be by-gones,"
Dutch children, with these constant ap-
peals to their imaginations, learn to
look upon the past as part of the pres
ent and feel that they are bound to
make themselves worthy Of the hero
race to whom they owe their liberties.

NATION WITHOUT A PALATE.
The Italians Seem to Regard Everything
Edible.

The Italians Seem to Regard Everything
Edible.
To the italian everything is edible; it
is a nation without a palate, says
Ouida in the Nineteenth Century. It
sleeps a hare in fennel and eats salt
with melons. The craze for devouring
birds of all kinds is species Of fury
from the Alps to Etna; they crunch the
delicate bodies betweent their jaws with
disgusting relish, and a lark represents
to them a succulent morsel for the spit
or pastry The trade in larks all over
the world is enormous and execrable,
and is as large in England as in Italy.
1t should at once be made penal by
heavy fines on the trappers, the ven
ders and the eaters, or ere long no more
will the lark be heard on the earth. 1t
is admitted by all who know anything
of the subject that agriculture would be
impossible without the aid of birds, as
the larvas and developed insects of all
kinds would make desert of the entire
area of cultivated land. This is well
known. Yet all over the world the
destruction of birds RACES unchecked,
and no attempt is made to protect them,
to interdict their public sale and to en-
able them to nest and rear their young
in peace. A scientific writer has said
that destruction of the individual is I'M
important. Gle was speaking of the
destruction of the great auk.) AS mat
ters go now, unless some stringent
measures are taken the birds of Europe
will in the next century be as extinct
as is now the dinornis. The ornithophil
societies of France and Switzerland
have more than once written to me that
unless birds be protected in Italy they
must perish all over Europe, since so
great variety of races wing their way
to the south in winter and there are
ruthlessly murdered.

THE FIRST MARRIAGE IN WICHITA
1t Has Been Terminated by Decree of
Divorce After Twenty-Seven Years.
WICHITA, June 2O.-The first marriage
known to have occurred where the city
dissolved in the district court. The
divorced couple are Mr. and Mrs. John
Ward. Their marriage occurred March
6, 1868. and was the outcome of a pretty
frontier romance. Before even the viii
lage of Wichita had sprung into exist
ence, or the county of Sedgwick was or
ganized, a family named Lewellyn re-
sided on Chisholm creek.
Doc Lewellyn had little ranch, and
had lived on the frontier for many years.
His home was the stopping place of hun
ters and plainsmen- Aside from Doc
Lewellyn's popularity as host, he was
also the father of a beautiful daughter
just blooming into womanhood. Many
hearts were smitten by the charms of
the Queen of the Two Rivers" as his
daughter Hannah was called by frontiers
men. In a short time it became known
that Jack Ward was the lucky man
whose love had been returned by Miss
Lewellyn.
Announcements were sent out through
the country that Jack and Doc Level
lyn's daughter would be married, and
almost every camp in this portion of the
state sent a representative and also
choice presents. The Indians also took
great interest in the coming wedding, as
they had known the bride from child
hood and counted the groom as worthy
of the title of .'pale face brave" Doc
Lewellyn, J. R. Mead and a number of
hunters and cattemen went to Eldorado,
the nearest county seat, and secured the
marriage license, which was issued by
Probate Judge Parker.
A minister could not be found and the
judge was brought to the Lewellyn
ranch.
On the afternoon of March 6, 1868, they
were married Indians and frontiers
men by the hundreds joined in the we'd
ding festivities, which lasted for several
days. Here they have lived ever since,
and family has grown about them.
A few weeks ago the public was aston
ished to read the announcement that
petition for absolute divorce had been
filed by Mrs. Ward. The full prayer of
the motion was granted, giving Mrs.
Ward alimony and the custody of the
children. The only grounds alleged
were not support
