NEVER SAW BICYCLE PARADE
The Majority of People Who are Com
ing to Topeka.

Captain James DOncyson of the bicy-
clists has received his formal notifica-
ton of his appointment by the Commit
tee OF Fifteen as official bicycle parade
director of Tuesday night of the Fail
Festival.
4 think there will be no trouble about
giving a splendid parade he says; all
the fellows will go into it if we can get
them to understand the situation. Here
are $4,000 strangers at least coming to
Topeka and any quantity of them never
saw a bicycle parade of any cOnse-
quence. It will please them greatly.
The bicycle has become factor in To-
peka and Kansas that cannot afford
to ignore itself and its power. Think
of the work we ought to be able to get
in for good roads among these visitors.
I expect to get every bicycle firm in
Topeka to put a float into the parade
and the boys and girls will decorate
when they once get walked up"
A meeting of the bicyclists has been
called to come together at the council
chamber Friday evening and every
rider of a wheel in the city ought to be
there.

Two Fall Festival Marches Have Al
ready Been Composed

There will be music unending in To-
peka during the Fall Festival Topeka
authors have been at work on some
special pieces for the week, and so far
two bright, lively marches have been
composed. Mr.. w F. ROehr, who is
the author of 'tMarshalI's Band March"
has composed a two-step which he will
dedicate to T P. Culley under the title
of the Topeka Fall Festival March"
On the title page will appear engrav-
ings of Mr. CuIley, Mr.. Roehr and the
capitol It will be published in large
quantities and used throughout the 'es-
tival.
Miss Electa Sawyer. a Topeka lady
of musical talent has composed
march which she has dedicated to the
Topeka club. On the title page will
appear q neat engraving Of the club
house on Sixth and Harrison streets
It will be called the Flower Festival
March, There is no lack OF musical
talent in Topeka and some of it is rap
idIv. coming to the front. The march
which Bandmaster John Marshall com
posed and dedicated to the State Jour
nal is a standard production, no better
proof of which there is than that Sousa
is playing it in his concerts this sea-
son.

Cole has issued timely warning. He
does not propose to follow a bad pre-
cedent.
It has long been the custom of state
administrations to in some way use up
all the appropriations and frequently
deficits are left for the succeeding ad-

Cole has shown a determination
throughout his official term. to allow no
money to leave the treasury unless it
expenditure was fully warranted by
law
The people will doubtless remember
him in November in practical way.

ORIGIN OF THE CRAZE ron PETS.
Traced to EngIand-France Holds 1t
in High Esteem.
From Godey's MagazIne.

FROM GOuey magazine.
The craze for animal pets originated
in England, although in France dogs have
for several centuries been held in high
repute. The dog is intelligent and faith
full, hence its priority over other domestic
animals.
In England extravagant prices have
been paid for fancy breeds, and the low
ers of fine dogs have organized Pet Dog
Association, with a journal devoted to its
interests. The King Charles spaniel
Yorkshire and Japanese terrier, and the
long-haired poodle are the favorite la
dies pets. The pet dog mania has eX-
tended TO America, Fashionable women
paying enormous prices for dogs of high
pedigree.
The japanese dogs held in highest esti-
nation are small, delicately formed, and
covered with long, silky hair; they must
be treated with the greatest consldera-
ton and fed on dainty morsels else they
pine away and die.
The pug has happily had its day, for
nothing more stupid and undressing
than these pampeFed pets could well be
imagined.
Some women have a fancy for big dogs.
and may be seen accompanied by a mas
tiff or dachshund.
The fad for feline pets is a rather re-
cent one, and also had its origin in Eng
land. The cat fancier is quite as exacting
about the pedigree of her pet as the dog
lover The Angora is the breed sanction
ed by fashion, and these aristocrati tic
beasts are worthy of the admiration they
excite as they are lovely types of their
species. In disposition the Angora is less
treacherous than the ordinary household
tabby, and when well-bred is of a gentle
loving disposition. The slender body Is
covered with long. silky hair, either
white, gray, orange, black, blue or in
tiger markings; pure white AngOras are
great favorites, those with blue eyes be-
ing much admired.
A singular fact in relation to the white
Persian cat is, that it is invariably deaf;
scientists have failed to discover the rea-
son for this int1rmity.
The Angora, in common with most of its
lite place with the feline pet is a sunny
window, where, reclining upon silk-cov-
cred down cushion, she dozes the hours
away in placid contentment.
Treachery is deemed n feline attribute
but the disposition of cats is as varied as
that of human beings; some of them are
capable of affection, while Others care
only for their comfort. and are Indifferent
to those who pet them.
Mr.. Robert Kent James is an authority
on the cat, and has a large cat farm near
Boston. Cat raising is becoming quite an
important industry, and is largely carried
on by farmers wives, under the careful
supervision of some experienced cat
breeder. These women earn considerable
money by this occupation.

Late pUlIets.

Now that the cold weather is nearly
here, there is not much prospect Of
any Of the late pullets laying before
spring. If they did not grow and reach
the laying condition while the season
was moderately warm they will not
do so now. 1t is usually the east that
when pullets do not begin as late as
November they will not begin until
early spring. 1t would be an advan-
tagc to dispose Of the fat pulletS and
thus reduce expenses. rs it does not
pay to feed them in order to hold them
until eggs begin 10 sell at higher prices.
BY so doing. more room will be afforded
to laying hens, and less labor of man
agement during the cold weather will
be the result.

Rnnid Growth of Cities

More than one-third of the entire pop
ulation Of these United States now live
in cities. In some states it is much
greater; in Massachusetts. 20 per cent;
in New York, 60 per cent; in Connect
cut, 81 per cent; in New Jersey, -
per cent. In 1890 there were but six
"citieS'-i. e., having Il population of
more than S.OOO-in 1890 there were AS
such cities. In 1910 there We're but
three cities with more than 100000 in
habitants: in 1890 there were twenty
eight such cities. In 1870 there was
no city having 1.OOO,OOO inhabitants;
in 1890 there were three such cities.
In 1896 the new New York is estimated
to contain 3.20O,O0O inhabitants, or
nearly as many as the thirteen United
States when George Washington took
the oath of office as first president
SCribner'S for October.

stock Notes.

When a hog gets so sick that he
won't take medicine in his feed there
is little chance for him only to die.
Thrift IN any kind of stock is usually
secured when they are considered suf-
ficiently valuable to be well cared for.
All the pure bred stock is now cheap
enough to supcrsede the grades and
scrubs.
Last year the farmers of this country
exported SCI I'D cattle, for which they
received 30,603, 100.
Grass Is the cheapest OF all foods for
stock. Aim to make all the beef. pork.
mutton. wool and butter possible while
the pastures are flush.
Many sheep men of the country are
shaping up their tlocks for mutton and
paving little attention to the wool
product.
To keep all kinds of stock healthy
they must have plenty of exercise. In
many instances the hog is kept too
closely confined.
Young stock usually put on o
flesh for the food consumed than ma
ture animals. and in many cases will
bring more money at the ~butcherS
Regin now TO get your STOCK III SOou
shane for winter. one dollars worth
of feed will do more toward laying on
fat than two will i'll cold weather.
Cattle and sheep are worth some
thing Oh the farm rs s~cavengers 10 get
away with brush. briars and weeds.
Give them credit for what they do.
II may be a little discouraging now
for the stock breeder to have to sell
his surplus at low prices. but the
breeder who goes right along improv-
inc his fiocks and herds will turn up
all right in the end. When the tide
turns the luck, then the plucky breeder
will reap his reward.
Thumps in pigs is caused principally
bv overlooking and poor protection
from the weather, says the National
Stockman. If taken in hand when first
noticed it can, in most cases, be cured.
The young pig must be compelled to
take exercise; the shOte given some
thing to cool the system and clean out
the bowels. 1t is a nice point In feed
inc 10 reach the greatest limit Of push
ing and escape this trouble. We have
cnred bad cases and had them do well
afterward.
