IT GAME FROM KANSAS.

The Oueer Petition Which Was Pre-
sented in the Senate Recently.
There have been more crank petitions
presented to Congress this session than.in
any previous sitting of Congress foryears,
saws the Washington Post. In the Senate
especially the constitutional right of petit
ton appears to have been abused to a
great extent by Senators. who insist upon
reading them in full, and printing the
text of petitions and memorials of all
kinds and sorts in the Record. The latest
contribution of this character was laid
before the Senate by PETER of Kansas
Yesterday morning, and it will, owing to
the fact that the Senator insisted upon
reading it, appear in full in to-day's
Record. It comes from General Hugh
Cameron OF Lawrence, Kans., and is as
follows:.
Your petitioner, the undersigned. respect
fully asks your honorable bodies to make the
5th day of April National holiday, it being
the day on which the King of the Jews, whom
Pontius PLATE caused to De crucifed, April 3,
A. D. 33, achieved his splendid victory over
the King of the Jews has always been the
true friend of the United States OF America
He was with Washington and his companions
during their great struggle for Independence,
and was also with the Union army through the
entire war to maintain that Independence
with union and liberty.
Your petitioner has an abiding faith that
your honorable bodies will cheerfully grant
his request, as well on your own account as
that of the multitude of his faithful followers
comprising all the Industrious poor, people
Goods chosen people), many of whom are now
prayerfully waiting for the second coming of
said King, which, it is claimed, will be to the
United States of America.
Unquestionably, this King has done more to
establish and maintain free government on
this continent. and to make the United States
King; and, so we, as individuals and as
Nation, ought not to be ashamed, with frank
ness and alacrity, to acknowledge that we owe
him debt of gratitude which we will never
be able to fully liquidate.
For all these and many other obvious reasons
the undersigned hopes your honorable bodies
will, without delay, make resurrection day
National holiday, for which we will continu-
ally pray. -

A Little Dogs Lonely Vigil at
the City Receiving Hos
pital.
WANTED TO DEFEND HIS BODY.
Dunwald Has a Fractured Skull, but
His Canine Friend Will Not
Desert Him.

A little curly black dog, sans beauty,
sans pedigree, wanders disconsolately
about the new City Hall, waiting patiently
for his master, who lies seriously injured
on cot within the Receiving Hospital,
furnishing most touching illustration of
canine devotion to man.
On Tuesday last call from Beach and
Powell streets took the patrol wagon to
that locality, and the policeman in charge
found an injured man, who had been
struck down in a quarrel, whose uncon-
scious body was guarded by a little black
dog.
At first the little fellow was inclined to
resent any interference with his masters
body, but when he saw that the police
were on friendly errand he offered no
resistance, and trotted behind the wagon
while it conveyed his master to the Re-
ceiving Hospital. There it was found that
the man was Henry Dunwald, and that
his skull had been fractured by blow
from hatchet.
The dog attempted to follow the mans
inanimate form as it was carried into the
hospital, but being prevented, he lay down
on the pavement outside and patiently
awaited his masters return from within
the gloomy walls. Night came On, and
still he kept up his vigil, and when day.
light again appeared he was found close to
the door turning appealing eyes to all who
appeared, as if asking for news of his
master. Another day passed, and still he
refused to leave. and then Matron Ed
monds of the hospital took compassion on
him and gave him food and water, which
he consumed as though famished.
The little fellow was in his accustomed
place yesterday morning, still waiting for
the master who tossed on a bed of pain
within. An unsympathetic gardener, who
perhaps did not know the reason of his
lonely vigil caught him walking across
hower-bed near the Receiving Hospital
door, and drove him away with a stick.
After that he contented himself with
standing in the street and gazing wlstfully
at the hospital portals or running about
the corridors of the hall, searching dill
gently and patiently for the master.
DR.. Sherwood of the hospital found
him in the street yesterday and took him
to neighboring restaurant, Where he was
given all he would eat. Where he sleeps
no one knows, but hardly an hour passes
during the daylight hours that he does
not trot around to the City Hall avenue
side of the hall and sit for awhile watch
ing the hospital entrance:
In life the frmest friend
The first to welcome foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his masters own,
Who labors, tights, lives, breathes for him alone.
In the mean time Dunwald lies in pre-
carious condition in the hospital, and may
remain there for days before he can be
moved to his home.

A New Discovery of How to
Beat the Public Tele-
phone.
IT IS EXPLAINED BY A PEDDLFR
Directors of the Company Worried
. Over the Sudden Decline
in Receipts.

The directors of the telephone company
are worrying over the sudden decrease in
the receipts from the public telephone with
the drop-a- Observation-Disclosures attachment.
When this device was first foisted upon
the community it at once became popular
with hotels, restaurants, saloons, drug
stores and other places where accommoda
tions to the public were formerly at par,
and added many nickel to the corpora
tion whose creation it is.
Some time ago John I. Sabin became
aware of the fact that his pet machine was
being tampered with, and that its useful
ness as a money-getter for his company
had been greatly impaired. This fact was
revealed to him through the great decline
in the earnings of the slot machine, and
he accordingly set his electrical engineers
and others about the task of ascertaining
the cause.
The agents of the company were long
unable to "drop onto' the scheme by
which the concern was euchred out OF
the elusive nickel, but eventually their ef-
forts were rewarded. They learned that it
was simply little pocket-comb that had
caused the decrease in the earnings of the
telephone and created CONSERVATION
among the officials of the company.
"I'll show you how it is done, y said the
vender of pocket combs in an uptown
restaurant. ut will save you many a
nickel. The comb only costs you cents
in the first place and you can beat the tele-
phone with it every time. There is no diff
ficulty about it. It's the simplest kind of
game. Talk about tapping the wire,

The Sort of Boots That Brings Them On

The Sort of Boots That Brings Them On
and How to Get Rid of Them.
A chiropodist says: lone OF the most
popular corn-plasters is madein Baltimore,
but not long ago the manufacturer brought
his wife over to me to be treated for corns.
| asked him why he did not try to cure her
himself. He told me that his plasters were
very good things to sell to druggists, but
that they did not seem to benefit his wife in
the slightest. 1t is my experience that at
least so per cent of people suffer more or
less from corns. Washington is one of the
worst cities in the country in this line. 1t
is on account of the asphalt streets,
think. At any rate, people who come
from other cities often develop some form
of foot trouble after they have been here
awhile"
.Who are your best customers?"
''Women always. They will persist in
wearing high heels and SHOES that are too
short for them. Now, a short shoe is much
worse than shoe that is too narrow, for,
as the average person is not blessed with
high nsteps, the toes are forced down
against the end of the shoe, and either
corns or oeformities of the joints result.
In my opinion Southern people have the
best feet. The reason of it is that they are
great horseback riders. Holding ones feet
steps, and bigh insteps prevent the feet
from being forced down into the end of the
shoes. 1t is true that Southern women
like to wear high heels and tight shoes, but
the effect is not nearly as bad on them as
it is on Northern women with their fatter
insteps.
Eyes; bicycling is just about as good for
the feet as is horseback riding. The foot
gets freer play than it does in walking and
if the shoes are well made and properly fit
ted it has tendency to make the feet
archeG and graceful. / firmly believe that
the fact that so many small children are
now riding the wheel is certain to result in
better-shaped and healthier feet in the
coming generation. Parents really ought
to pay more attention to the condition of
their children's feet. They ought TO take
more care about their shoes, seeing that
they fit properly and do not rub, or are not
too loose. That parents do not, as a rule,
exercise such care is shown by the number
of Chi 'dren from 2 to years OF age who are
brought to me to be treated for corns and
bunions. Washington Star.
