TIE excitement in Kansas over the

TIE excitement in Kansas over the
coming election may be well under
stood from q little incident which
happened down in Butler county the
other day. A Republican farmer who
lived in Payne township, Sedgwick
county, had arranged to move over
into Benton township, Butler county,
but the landlord from whom he rent
ed the Sedgwiek county farm refused
to let him move until he had husked
out 800 bushels of corn which formed
the owners share of the crop. If he
waited to husk out this corn he would
be too late to establish voting resi-
dence in Butler county before cleo
ton. The situation became known
to the Republican farmers of Benton
township and they gathered in body
proceeded to the Sedgwick county
farm, husked out the 800 bushels of
corn in half day, loaded the farmer
and his appurtenances on wagons
and triumphantly bore him across
the line into Benton in time to make
a Mckinley voter out of him.

Old Fashions i'm Funerals.
Located In ga Small village In Vermont"
Half n Century Ago

"a ready-made coffin is a thing 1 never
saw until | was a grown man." said the
Reminiscent Person, who is not so very old
either. 81 was brought up in small viii
lage in Vermont, where broadcloth coffin
with silver trimmings would have created
as much wonder as a cable car. If such a
coffin had strayed into theI neighborhood
it would doubtless have been placed upright
in someone's best ROOM and been used
as a cabinet for choice bits of china, its flu
nereal purpose remaining undreamed Of
each farmer saved from his cutting of
timber a few of the finest boards. Espec-
ial attention was given TO the seasoning
and finish, and they were then stored away
until the time when they should be needed.
There was always rivalry among the.neigh-
bors as to who had the finest coffin boards
in his loft They would no more think of
using these boards for any other purpose
than they would of wearing the clothes
which had been put away in the cedar
chest for them to be laid out in.
lowing to the uncertainty as to the time
when they might be called for, nothing
more could be done toward making the
coffin than to have the boards ready. Men
were too thrifty in those days to run any
risk in making up a coffin and then having
it misfit; and it was generally conceded
that mans last conversation with the
minister should not be accompanied by the
unmistakable sound of hammering from
the barn, so the coffin making had to be
left till all was over. When my great I'M
Gle died. remember, father and my elder
brothers stayed up all night making his
coffin.
"Who did the laying out? Oh, there was
at least one woman in the village who was
first-class at that sort of thing-generally
tailoress or seamstress-and was always
on hand She took right hold and did ev-
erything. Made the shroud, gave advice
about the latest style of mourning, saw
the callers, if she was allowed to-general-
ly the family took a mournful pleasure in
performing that duty themselves. This
self-appointed undertaken never expected
any remuneration for her services, though
she didn't object if after next shearing you
sent around enough wool for a new dress,
provided you were perfectly able to do
so.
"No; the shroud wasn't of homespun
linen; that was one time when a man was
allowed to wear store Clothes though all
his life he had worn homespun linsey-woOl-
sey shirts, hove-woven natural gray trous-
ers, and COwhide boots made by the trav-
cling cobbler. He was buried in a white
shroud of the finest muslin which his
means afforded and the village store could
furnish.
There was nothing brief about the re-
marks of the minister. The service usual
ly took good two hours; we always had
a regular sermon. 1t gave the minister a
chance to eXpostulate with the backsliders
such as he never had in church, for the
most rreligious man in town would turn
out for funeral-Neir York Tribune.

a Georgia boy plowed up an earthen jar
the other day which was found to contain
$4,000 in gold and silver and a lot of
greenbacks so badly damaged that they
could not be counted.
The whispering gallery at St. Paurs
Cathedral is approached from the body of
the church by 260 steps. Here low whis-
per, though uttered at distance of 40
feet, by the guide who conducts visitors
over this part of the church, is heard not
only distinctly but loudly.
There is a giant ten and one-half feet
high in the country above Canton in China,
and an American Snowman has lately been
trying in vain to induce him to travel. The
big fellow is ashamed of himself A seven
foot giant is considered a good deal of a
freak, and specimens are few and hard to
find.
The ship st. John, 1873 days out from
New York arrived at Port Los Angeles,
Cal, a few days ago and reported that one
of the sailors named Fatenback had fallen
overheard and been eaten by sharks during
the voyage. The ship was becalmed south
of the equator and great numbers of sharks
swan about the ship. Fatenback fell from
a yard into the sea and was carried away
by the sharks before help could reach him.
The choir of the Mormon tabernacle at
Salt Lake City is chorus of several hun
dred voices, said to be one of the best
trained choruses in the country. Every
year selected portion of this choir, about
200 voices, goes on a concert tour, one
year coming as far east as Chicago. This
year the tour is through California. The
choir gives most of the oratorios, and has
large repertory of songs, glees and madri-
gals.

To Get RID Of Rabblts.

How to get rid of rabbits has been an
important question in Australia for several
years. Millions of dollars have been ex-
pended to get rid of the long-eared and
short-tailed pests, but it has been impos-
sible even to lessen their number. Now it
is proposed that they shall be made to yield
revenue. In one year the government
of New South Wales paid for $1,000, 900
rabbit skins, but there were more rabbits
skipping about at the end of the year than
there were at the beginning. Since 1888
one colony has spent more than $1,000, 900
in a veritable war against the pest and has
constructed $1,000 miles of barbed wire
fencing, one fence alone being 407 miles
and another BOG miles. The government
of New South Wales has upon its hands
1000, 900 acres of land abandoned because
of the rabbits, but they seemed to thrive
and grow fat upon barren land, VIII re 9th
er stock, even goats, would die OF starva-
ton. But now company has been formed
which is to build a refrigeratng factory in
one of the agricultural districts near Mel
bourne and to freeze and ship rabbits to
the English market. Ii this scheme is sue
cessful, as it promises to be, then rabbits
will not only become a common article of
food, but perhaps a source of profit to Aus
tralia

with thy beauty and with thy love thou
comfortest mine age"
Then would the ivy tell quaint stories to
the old and broken oak tree-stories she
had learned from the crickets, the bees,
the butterflies, and the mice, when she was
an humble little vine and played at the
foot of the majestic oak tree, towering in
the green wood with no thought of the tiny
shoot that crept toward him with her love.
And these simple tales pleased the old and
riven tree; they were not as heroic as the
tales of the winds, the clouds and the stars
told, but they were far sweeter for they
were tales of contentment of humility, of
love.
So the old age of the oak tree was grander
than his youth.
And all who went through the green
wood paused to behold and admire the
beauty of the oak tree then; for about his
scared and broken trunk the gentle vine
had'so entwined her graceful enlrils and
spread her fair foliage that one saw not the
havoc of the years or the ruin of the temp.
est, but only the glory of the oak trees age
which was the ivy's love and ministering
