HAD AN ELEVATED POSITION.

One of the sights to be seen on Doug
las avenue on Friday afternoon was
water spaniel seated uppn the back Of
a pony. The pony was tied near the
Zimmerly building. The young master
came out, united his pony and got into
the saddle with the dog remaining be-
hind him. The pony had an easy swing
ing gate which made it possible for the
dog to stick on. The dog seemed TO en-
joy his elevated position.

NOTHING IN A NAME.

A few weeks ago a gentleman came
here from Chicago to put in some ma
chinery for one OF the newspaper I'M
ions. He signed his name G. P. Mccain
on the hotel register. Some one MOTTO
ing il asked him if he was related 10
r. p. Mccain OF this city, proprietor OF
the Elite restaurant. The Chicago gen
tleman could not remember having any
relatives in Kansas, but said he would
go and see the Wichita man OF mis- name
When the restaurant man and the Chi
cage machinist got together they tried
for two or three hours to scrape UP some
kinship, but failed. On the strength OF
names, however, they decided TO go out.
They drove out mile or two and what
they brought back cost them not less
than twenty dollars.
They lost the horse halter, broke
whip, lost coat, and just as they got
into town they ran into another rig and
tore off a front wheel Of their rig. They
concluded that there was nothing in a
name, not even good luck
There i. little question that Wichita
will have an elevator next year. The
immense acreage Of wheat / rtne sur
rounding territory will make IT neces-
sary. The next move in that direction
will be entrusted to the hands Of Wich-
ita men wholly, so that there will be no

Recent developments, it is said, prove
that a mere straw al the time would
have saved the Wichita National bank
and it would be on its feet today. 1t is
claimed by friends OF the bank that il
the county funds had not been with
drawn during the pincn the bank would

Wichita in summer is the shadiest
city in the west and is the admiration
and wonder of those who visit the city.
While the heavy foliage is generally
appreciated during the not summer
months, in the fall il is somewhat diff
ferent At this time Of the year every
yard and street in the city is covered
with dead laves. II requires from one
TO two men to clean up the yards ana
get them in a presentable condition.
Many boys make quite a little pocket
money by going from house to house
raking up leaves and burning them.
There is a city ordinance which requires
that no leaves or rubbish DE burnt af-
ter O'Clock, but it is frequently brok-
en- and as it has never been rigidly en-
forced the practice is growing.

ENGLISH ODDITIES.
A Township which Has o1l5 one

Township which Has Only one
ReitAent.
Undoubtedly the most <xtraordin6rY
township in England is that of Skid
daw, in Cumberland. It contains but
one house, the occupier of which is I'M
abe to exercise the Briton's privilege
of voting because there is no overseer to
prepare a voters list and no church or
other place Of worship or assembly on
which to publish one, says Pearson's
Weekly. ...
The most remote village in England
is that of REORGANIZATION. This
truly rural spot is 5oh miles from the
nearest railway station. AS a contrast
to this may be mentioned the hamlet of
Istrad, about ten miles from Cardiff.
This tiny settlement possesses two i'm
portant main roads, two railways and
two large rivers.
very unique feature is exclusively
claimed by Trimley. small! village in
Suffolk. In the one churchyard of the
parish two churches are to be seen.
Service is conducted. three times a
week in each of these churches at the
same hour.
The deepest well in England is found
at Hamilton, in Hampshire. It stretches
$50 feet below the surface of the earth.
About halfway down this we'll shaft
is subway, three miles in length,
which leads to the seacoast.
On the top of the parish church tower
in Bicknolier, Somersctshire, is yew
tree, now five feet high and still, grow
ing in a hardy fashion. 1t is generally
believed that the tree owes it's origin
to seed dropped by bird.
PERHAPS the most splendi,y decorated
church in the kingdom is that of Whit
ley Court, Worcestershire. It is entirely
constructed of white marble, the pews
are chastely carved and the pulpit is OF
genuine Carrara marble, richly paneled
with precious stones.
On the village green at Meriden, in
Warwickshire, there is a large stone
cross, which is supposed to mark the
central point of England.

1t takes no small amonnt Of system

Those who hold these prospects

holding prospects up to a price which
it would take a wen-developed mine
to bring, they shut out capital which

Guides Who Led the King of Siam
About London lad Trouble.


The king of Siam has proved himself
to be familiar with Englishhistory. He
has not passeda regular examination,
but has shown himself acquainted with
the occupants of the tombs in West
minister Abbey, which is about the
same, says the New York Journal. The
king was shown about England's Val
halla by Canon Wilberforce. He cod
~ passed by the statues of Pitt, Living
stone and Herschel in the nave, but
paused before that of Darwin. "Dar-
win, great man, 1 know him." he re-
marked. The helmet worn by Henry
Y. at Agincourt was shown him. He
looked at it carefully and inquired its
weight. He seemed surprised when
told that it weighed nine pounds, twelve
ounces. When shown the flags of the
knights of the bath, he asked for the
duke of Wellington's. Queen Eiizabeth's
tomb impressed him greatly. All of
sudden he said: "Where is Mary2" No
one knew exactly whathe meant. Then
he went on: "Nfary-Mary, queen of
Scots"
"She was beheaded," he added. This
circumstance seemed to- impress him,
for in a moment he said: "Where is the
other?" Soon it was understood that
decapitation was the connecting link
ard that he wished to see the tomb OF
Charles the First. He was disappointed
to learn that Charles was buried at
Windsor. In the Poets Corner Tenny-
son and Scott received most of his at
tention. At st. Pau!'s he was shown
the memorial of Gen. Gordon, but
shocked his guides by inquiring with
great sincerity: "Who was Gen. Cor
don?" ooh, he was a man. very well
known in the east" was the only
answer thought necessary. Altogether
Chu!alongkorn showed himself to be-
a pretty fair historian, but better
posted in ancient than modern events.

It is by physicians and scientists
considered Of the utmost Importance
that the milk supply be regulated and
watched over with a thousand times
more vigilance than has ever before
been done. tuberculosis may get firmly
rooted in the cows system and continue
there for a long time before any danger
is suspected, First of all things. it is
necessary that a healthy cow be select
ed. then that she have every advantage
Of healthful conditions. Crowding,
dampness and darkness are serious
faults in the buildings where cows are
kept. Milk for bottle babies should not
be furnished from cows kept in badly
ventilated and i'll smelling buildings.
A very small proportion Of the milk
furnished to cities is fit for the use of
infants. If the present state of things
continues, there will of necessity be a
revolution in society and consumers
will demand the enactment of sanitary
laws as regards COWS and will insist
that every regulation be complied with.

1t is strange that in the face of the

in the past few years this industry in

there. Several of the new lines are long

According to the following anecdote,
from The Sacred Heart Review. people
who do right as we'll as those who do
wrong sometimes resolve never to do it
again:
A gentleman heard that a young girl
whose mother was in poor circum-
stances was convalescing from a dan
gerous sickness. Forthwith he went to
a fruiterer's and secured some choice
punches of Hamburg grapes at 81 or
thereabout a pound.
He carried them, not without some
self satisfaction, to the house of the in
valid and left them with her mother,
who received them in a dubious kind Of
that did not evince, as he
thought, much gratitude.
This did not trouble him greatly,
however, but the next day when he
called he received q blow which almost
made him resolve never again to be
generous to strangers.
"How did your daughter like the
grapes?" he said to the grim and un-
demonstrative matron.
"Oh, pretty WE'LL" was the reluctant
answer
Ibid she eat them all?'' was the next
query.
"Yes, she got away with them," was
the reply. but she is q good deal like
She likes something nice and tasty
