scented a perfect dog. Such an animal
as the best friend to man in the brute
creation should be.
NV Poor Chickie,

1t is common enough to see a crowd
of street children tOrmenting u stray
dog or friendless kitten, but on the
side streets l came upon somewhat
unusual spectacle the other day. 1t
was u knot of ragged children, and In
their midst a poor blind cock they were
pOiing at. The bedraggled and wretch
ed fowl seemed bewildered, and hud'
died down helplessly in the dust, al
though his color and marking showed
Enthusiastically that he came of fighting
stock. Just then tiny mulatto boy il
pinafore came running across the
street. He broke into the circle AMI
caught up the Orry-looking fowl. L
expected the cock at this to show fight.
but to my surprise he tucked his head
under the child's arm and seemed per-
fectly content. "My pore Chickie! Ny
pore chickie!' l heard the boy say rs
he toddled off with his unusual pet.
"They'se bad boys to hurted my pore
birdie they is" And the fowl clucked
contentedly, quite as if he understood
every word.

State Senator Taylor, of Edward sville,
is the recognized potato king of Wyan-

highly elated over the present prospects
for good crop. Their only hope is
that it will snow considerably more. Mr..
Taylor stated further that the cond-
ton Of wheat was never better, in
former years.
G. Fl. Beasley, of the Hay Mems Ga
zette, of Kansas City, in the course Of
letter to Secretary Coburn, of the state
board of agriculture, says: "Are you
aware that Kansas prairie hay is far
ahead Of any other states product Of
wild grass, and all markets that receive
it, quote it above other wild grass from
other states? Such is the case, and
with the interests Of Kansas shippers at
heart we ask that you use your inhu-
ence by calling attention to the better
methods that should be employed in
preparing this product for public con-
sumption"

The Manchester Ship Canal, the
greatest experiment in municipal en-
terpriSc ever attempted in England. is
u disastrous failure. The earnings of
the last eleven months were only S42O,-
600, which was II per cent less than
the working expenses. The trade Of
the canal Is dWindllng steadily and
there Is no reasonable prospect of OBJ
talning an adequate return for the 20
million dollars expended ON the con
structiOn. The stockholders and the
Manchester ratopaycrs are in despair.
What to do with the canal Is with them
an important question. There Is talk
of turning 1t over to the state, but this
transfer Is ayerrcd to be impossible,
and If so the only recourse will be to
sell 1t to the railroads, which will repay
themselves by advancing their freight
rates after having bought up the com
petition. The result might have been
expected from the beginning The pro-
jcctorS and supporters Of the scheme
ought to have known how 1t would
work, that the railroads would bid
against the canal for the carrying bust
ness, and name figures sufficiently low
to abolish the inducement TO patronize
the inland waterway between Man
chester and the sea, They might have
gained little useful light on the sub
ject by studying the history Of the Erie
and WGlland Canals on this side Of the
Atlantic, and then taking a side glance
at the commerce of the Illinois ami
Michigan canal, which now consists
of hardly anything else than n few boat
loads Of stone. They could have as
certained that the boatmen on the Erie
Canal complain that they cannot make
expenses, though the canal is free, and
that IN effort now is being made to
induce the United States Government
to assume the cost Of operating the Ca
madam canals because the Dominion
people find their costly canals do not
pay expenses.

Gothic order and has very inviting APP
pearance. Its location is magnificent.
The auditorium has an inclined floor and
will seat 300; the lecture room, 1870; the
class room, so. Thesero are separated
by folding doors, which can be opened, so
that an audience of $50 can be comfort
ably seated. The inside appearance is
beautiful. The ceiling of the auditori.

When the private life of Prince Bis.
marcll comes to be written it will prob
ably be found that he was one of the
great men who have owed much of
their greatness TO the influence of their
wives. 1t is always Il question of curl
GUS interest how far the private life
of u prominent man enters into his pub
lie career, and how much influence it
has upon his Judgment and capacity.
SO far as the public sees the two lives
are entirely apart, and there are in
stances Of men who have kept them so,
leading, in fact, kind of dual exist
ence In the overwhelming majority
of cases the life and works Of the prom
inent public parsonage are influenced
either for benefit or for harm by his
home. In the case of Prince Bismarck,
who has just lost his wife, this was no.
tably so. Almost unknown to the world
mt large, she was typical of the homely
virtues Of the housewife. She was the
guiding spirit of household where her
husband was guiding the destinies of
nations. How far the efforts and the
fruits of her work took part in those
destinies the world will never know
save through inference. But it is safe
proposition that no man, unless he he
lost to better things, is ever entirely I'M
moved by the near and constant pres
ence Of influences for good. If Bis
marck, the man, was better because Of
his sane and wholesome family life,
Bismarck, the diplomat was also bet
ter. The old chancellor, who is how
bowed before the deathbed of his wife,
is instinctively paying tribute not
only to her memory but to the memory
Of all women who fulfill their highest
destiny as wives aud mothers.

The people of Maine fear that the
wild game in their forests will be en-
tirely destroyed, and more stringent
game laws have been enacted. Our
Northwestern States should see to 1t
that the pot and market hunters are
not allowed to shoot deer day beyond
the time allowed. The cold storage
houses of Chicago are to-day filled from
top to bottom with the Carcasses of
deer. The great fires drove them from
their old haunts, and they fell an easy
prey to the hunter.

The Secretary of the Navy asks that
he be allowed to construct twelve
torpedo boats of from 100 to 300 tons
each. to cost not exceeding an average
Of $4,000. This is not an unreasona-
bic request, in view of the fact that
while the United States, with its extern
sive sea coast, has hut six OF these
boats, including the three about to be
built, Argentina, Brazil and Chile have
twenty-five each, Germany 1877, En-
gland 175, and France 214. The value
of these boats is so generally recognized
abroad that large numbers Of them are
being constructed for European navies.

KANSAS RAILROADING.

The Santa Fe has finished laying
new steel rails between Topeka and
Carbondale.
The Santa Fe company has moved its
freight division from La Junta to Cool
idge and already the freight crews are
all stopping at that place The com
pany owns the Coolidge water system,
the best on their line Of road, and it
seems only question of time until the
passenger crews will also stop there.
Some years ago there was an inn
mense amount of trouble experienced
by the Santa Fe with box car thieves in
the vicinity Of Las Vegas. Last week
Dave Norman, formerly a conductor on
the Santa Fe, was convicted of robbing
freight cars and the court will pass
sentence in a few days. 1t is believed
by Santa Fe officials in Topeka that
the greater part of the difficulty ex-
perienced by the company on account
of these robberies is now done away
with.
