Quite an unexpected feast was in
: ,dulged in by the intimate friends of
Gus Critzer at Capt. E. Dosch's saloon
last Thursday morning.
1t seems that one of the recently i'm
ported Chinese pheasants ordered here
by Mr.. Critzer and taken in charge OF
by Mr. Albert Stoves was put into
large coop together with its mate for
breeding purposes.
The cock bird revealed against being
kept in captivity and forthwith COM
mitted suicide by beating his brains
out against the enclosure. The bird
was taken to Capt. Doch who had it
prepared and served it as a surprise to
Mr.. Critzer. The meat of the Mon
golian pheasant is white, somewhat
on the order of our quail and was pro-
nounced most delicious and palatable.
Messrs. Foster, Whitworth and Joe
George leave here today to attend the
Kansas City shoot.

SKELETON Sized. OF STEEL.

IJoofs Of rubber and ribs Of steel,
Voice like a silver bells soft peal,
Hollow bones that are light and strong
Humming birds insistent song;
Minus head and minus tail,
Cleaning eye and coat of mail,
The Bicycle.
Here is an airy fairy steed
Rivaling the swallows swiftest speed;
Never a plea or loud complaint
Never faltering, fail or faint;
of with hearty touch and go,
Quick as a flash or smoothly slow.
The Bicycle.
Beauty's mount for a squirt or spin,
Knight Cupid's tournaments TO win;
Safely the female centaur clings-
Excellent substitute for wings
Men surrender to rush and raid
Made by maids of the light brigade
On Bicycles.
Distance nicely done to a turn,
Railroad tickets and fares to burn;
Dash in a flash through the longest street
Minimum wear for shoes and feet;
Mercury queered and beaten quite,
Carriages, horse cars, out of sight,
On Bicycles.
This is the age of push and go,
Driven to the rear the slack and slow;
All on casters go racing round,
Spurning the swiftly traversed ground;
Write it down on history's page,
This is the high-hown hiking age,
OF Bicycles.
Swiftly changes Inventions scene,
Bicycles go by gasoline,
or TO a faster gait and mark
Driven by the spry electric spark;
This is the day of speed and steel,
OF the flying man and the whirling wheel
The Bicycle.

Mr.. Joe Lee Jameson, assistant SUI

storm played sad havoc with doves and

the farm, and on the farm itself, while
mocking and red birds were beaten to
death by the hail stones which fell

Edison Tackles the Bicycle.

Mr.. Edison is said to be devoting a
share of his inventive genius TO the BIZ
cycle, with the idea of devising some
strengthening appliance thereto. He
is reported to be confident that he can
find a successful means for storing the
power created by descending hills for
later use on the level or in the upgrade
work. He believes that natures force
found in gravity alone offers hope for
experimenting the powers of the cyclist
i'll any practical way. Storage battery
systems and others involving the use OF
motors have a great future for three or
four-wheeled vehicles, says Mr.. Edison.
but will never be made practical for the
single-track two-wheelers. He there
fore thinks that the inventors oppor-
tunity for usefulness in this direction
is limited to methods for taking advan-
tage of the force of gravity.

IRRIGATION In Oklahoma.

In respect to distribution oklahoma
Is fairly but not entirely fortunate.
There are no distinct wet and dry sea-
sons. Generally the principal rainfall
occurs during the growing season. On
the other hand, droughts during critical
periods of crop growth are not uncom-
mon." The conditions are also favorable
to rapid evaporation. This, together
with the fact that much of the soil of
the territory is fine and closely packed,
suggests that subsoiling to increase stor-
age capacity and frequent surface tillage
to reduce evaporation would be very
beneficial. If irrigation is to be practic-
ed on the majority of the farms in Ok
lahoma, it must be by the use of water
drawn from wells or from ponds in
which storm water has been stored. The
most practical power for lifting the wa
ter in most cases is water wheel. -

THE BANK FAILURES.

There is lesson in the recent bank
failures at Chicago, but it is not the
one which few imbittered free silver
men are trying to draw from it. The
highest degree of business prosperity
will not prevent bank from being
wrecked by its officials. 1t is therefore

cause for the simultaneous failures in

It is intimated that some of the re-

that the strong ones have become tired

satisfied that they can now let them fail
without precipitating a panic. st.

sugar Beets and Beet sosas.

A correspondents Of Farm and Fireside
writes as follows:
notice that the production of sugar
in some of our western states is likely
to receive quite boom. There is every
indication that several immense beet
sugar factories will BIO erected in the
next few years, and for each factory sew
eral thousand acres Of beets will be re-
quired. Every acre devoted to sugar
beets will be one less for corn, wheat
and oats, and thus the immense area de-
voted to the production, or overproduc-
tion. of these cereals will be cut down
to some extent. The United States is
paying foreign countries about $780,.
900, 900 year for sugar, every pound
Of which could be produced on our own
soil. The farmers in this state-in fact,
throughout the entire west-will hail
with delight the expansion of this new
industry. We can easily spare few
million acres for sugar beets, and we
will be glad to have our sugar made
right here at home. Let us encourage
the building of the factories and the
growing Of the beets by every means in
our power.
