Mr.. Ingalls, neck was tickled by a
straw in the hands Of an Atchison
man last week. For this dire insult
to Atchison's Tin God the ticker was
sent to the insane asylum but it did
not appease the ex-senator's wounded
vanity and he is sick abed. He

ling business. His political epider-

The growing influence Of news
papers in school education was Illus
trated the other day at a conference
of the Public Education Association
in New York, when Miss Locke,
supervisor of drawing in the public
schools Of Chicago, told how the
children are being trained to search
the columns of the press in working
on topics of a public nature. 1t
should be one of the functions Of
every school to teach the children
how to read newspaper to the best
advantage-and also what newspapers
should be read.

Manhattan Nationalist: Many Of
the delegates who attended the State
convention at Wichita were drawn by
. common curiosity to "a little dingy
building on q little side street. There
was nothing about the appearance Of
the place that demanded attention. 1t
had poor little Office with slovenly
floor and pine furniture which the
flies bad frescoed. 1t wasn't an inter-
esting sight and yet the men stood
outside and gazed through the dirty
windows at the spit box on the dirty
floor, at the dogeared day book on the
dirty pine desk and the few decrepit
articles Of furniture. Men eagerly
discussed all the mean details OF the
little office, and then went away and
brought more men who did the same
thing. 1t was the point of interest
oftenest visited in Wichita and why?
Because, mean as those surroundings
were, they once sheltered a duke. 1t
was the office OF the "duke Of Iowa."
it was the business place Of man
who once accidently became governor
Of the great State, and who farmed
his unexpected opportunities to their
fullest extent, and then went back to
his little Office in bis butter and egg
plant, in back street Of the Peerless
Princess. Men went and looked into
that dirty office and came away say
ing that they had seen the hole into
which Populism had crawled.

Horsss WIN h Hieher,

Dickinson county farmers are dis
couraged at the low prices received
for horses-and perhaps rightly 90;
but there are those who see better
things ahead. Capt. W. S. Tough is
not only natural and lifelong horse
mansbut for ten years past has been
manager Of the Kansas City horse and
mule market, and as such has been
the medium for disposing Of for cash
from rs, 900 to $4,000 head annually
Of the horse product,good and poor.of
the western farms. His opportuni-
ties for observation in this direction
must qualify him well for giving
counsel. He says that "there never
was such time on the face Of the
earth for breeding horses as today,
and the proof Of my belief is that |
have had my boys put l7S brood
mares on the farm in Jefferson coun-
ty, Kansas, for the purpose Of raising
horses.
Every paper you pick up from
France, Germany and Great Britain
makes evident the fact that they ap-
preciate and want more OF our stock,
not only draft horses but others. The
only question with the farmer is to
adopt the strains he can best handle,
and get to work and breed intelli-
gently with the same judgment he
uses with bis other live stock, and
results will beyond any controversy
be satisfactory.
"a farmer can raise horse three
years old and make good money on
him at SIS; that is in comparison
with other farm products. don't
believe we ought to ask a horse to
make farm pay for itself each year;
but in comparison with other pro-
ducts the horse will do remarkably
well at $75. II you can get $3.50
there is a pretty profit. | wish l
could 60 to every individual farmer
as a friend and demonstrate clearly to
him this problem: Horses will be
higher-draft horses, fancy horses,
harness horses, utility horses, all
classes of horses and good individuals
than they have been in fifteen
years. There will be no more profit
able live stock raised on the farm for
the next few years, II the farmers Of
Kansas and OF other states will take
hold Of the work intelligently."
