Stay by the Cow and Hen.

Stay by the Cow and Hen.
Here's a bit of good advice to far
mers from the Walnut Valley Stand
ard: "There seems to be a ten
dency among some of our farmers of
late to relegate their milk business to
the rear and again turn their entire
attention to the culture of wheat.
Within the last three weeks several
patrons of the Rush Centre skimming
station have ceased coming alto
gether, and it is possible that other
stations in the county are suffering
from the same cause. Our farmers
should not let this years wheat crop
and the high prices they are receiv-
ing for the same lead them astray,
as such conditions as the present do
not exist every year, in paradise.
Stay by the COW and hen in these
times of prosperity and plenty, for
they were your tried and true friends
in the days of your distress and
privation. Remember that you connot
depend on one crop or product alone
for a living, but in order to succeed
you must diversity your crops; then
if one should fail the other is sure to
bring forth fruit. The COW and hen
never failed in Kansas"

Mayor Summbersby has received a
circular letter from the Chamber of
Commerce, Seattle, Washington, asking
some advice in regard to prospective
gold seekers in the Alaskan country.
Some inquiries are made of Mayor sum-
mersby regarding the "Klondyke fever,'
to which he will respond privately. The
letter points out the difficulties in the
way to a trip to Alaska. From the Blu
reau of Information established by the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce can be
obtained such information as is desirable
by the gold seeker. The next spring will
find an extraordinary movement in the
gold fields, and the intending prospector
should be fully equipped with proper in
formation regarding the trip, and with
such necessities of life that will make
him comfortable on the journey and in
the camp.

The Newspaper Law.

AAV Avn" SRSROA A/eA"s
l. All subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are considered
wishing to continue their subscription.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodical the publisher
may continne to send it until all arrear-
ages are paid.
3. If subscribers refuse or neglect to
take their periodicals from the Office to
which they are directed, they are respon-
sible until they settle their bills and Or
der them discontinued.
4. Subscribers moving to other places
without informing the publisher, and the
papers are sent to the former address,
they are held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the office,
or removing and leaving them uncalled
for, is prima facie evidence of intended
fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice at the end of the
time that they do not wish to continue
taking it, and the subscriber will be re-
spOnsible until an express notice with all
arrearages are sent to the publisher
Z. The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest anyone
for fraud who takes paper and refuses
to pay for it.
Under the law the man who allows his
subscription to run along some time un-
paid, and then orders the postmaster to
mark it s.refused'' and have postal
card sent notifying the publisher, leaves
himself liable to arrest and fine, the
same as for theft.

A Ten Dollar Bill.


A banker going home for his din
ner saw a ten dollar bill lying on the
curbstone, says the Duncan, Mis-
souri,, Banner. OF course, he took
the number in order to find the
owner. While at home, his wife re-
marked that the butcher had sent in
q bill for meat amounting to ten
dollars. The only money he had
with him was the bill he had found,
which he gave to her and she gave it
to the butcher. The butcher paid it
to a farmer for calf and the farmer
paid it to merchant, who in turn
paid it to a washwoman, and she
owing the banker note of ten dol
lars, went to the bank and paid her
note. The banker recognized the
bill as the one he had found and
which up to the time had settled
forty dollars of debt. On a more
careful examination he found that
the bill was counterfeit. Now will
some of our financial friends tell us
what has been lost in the transaction
and by whom, if any.

Crininals' Fingers Deferred.
s'The fingers Of criminale." says .
London medical man who has studi-
ed them, ''are, in nine cases out Of
ten, in some way or other deformed.
People who are constantly being con-
yicted of theft are found to have long
thin fingers, . vide space separates
the first and second. and the little
finger crooked. In murderers the
fingers are short and thick;the thumb
is long, and the hand altogether pow
erful. In cases where excessive brute
force has been used tho little fingers
on both hands have been found to be
weak and deformed. Knotty fingers
are prominent where craftiness is ex-
hibited. Among habitual criminals,
especially burglars. the fingers are
found to be thicker at the tops than
near the knuckles. Out of 5000
criminals recently examined, 80 per
cent were found to have deformed
fingers.

News of the killing Of Joe Brockman'
q former citizen Of Dodge City, was anx-
iously looked for Tuesday, and created
some surprise, a. Joe was known to be q
peaceable and industrious citizen. The
following account was telegraphed from
Kinsley, the scene of the tragedy:
A man named Joe BrOckman, whose
friends are supposed to live at Fayette or
joplin, Mo-, was found murdered in q
paint shop almost in the centre of town
Monday. He had been dead probably
twentyfour hours or longer and had been
shot i'm the head. As he was seen Satur-
day evening with considerable money,
robbery is supposed to be the motive of
the crime.
He had been running a threshing ma
chine engine this fall. He was formerly
an engineer on the Santa Fe railroad and
had resided at Dodge City.
Evidence was taken before a coroner's
jury on Tuesday, when additional light
was thrown on the mystery.
BrOckman had been drinking Saturday
night, and il was known that he had
some money. He had purchased some
and intended making trip to
Missouri. When found the money was
missing, and the body had the appear
ance of being dead for some time.

~--DO~
Speaking about umbrellas" said
Butterwick, as he leaned back in his
comfortable arm chair and watched
the crowd padding by in the rain,
"always reminds me of pleasing
little episode that occurred some
years ago when I was a free and
careless farmer boy, as the poet tells
about, working for a good old
Methodist deacon named Boggs.
The deacon owned COW that had
an annoying habit of switching her
tail while being MIXED, and as
Boggs quite naturally objected to be-
ing swatted alongside of the head or
having his hat cuffed off every other
second, he used to serve an injunc-
ton on the tail fourishing by tying
the offending appendix fast to
to his bootstrap when he sat
down to milk. Then he would go
ahead and extract the tactical fluid in
peace, while the astonished COW
would shake her head and wonder
why her switching apparatus didn't
work with its accustomed freedom.
One rainy day, when the deacon was
milking away as usual, with the
cows continuation anchored to his
bootstrap, I thoughtlessly walked in
front with an open umbrella, and the
next instant the ancient but still able
bodied milk producer was plunging
wildly around the barnyard like
brindle cyclone, while her owner,
with his head jammed through the
bottom of the wooden milk pail and
its contents distributed partially over
his person, was hopping frantically
along behind her on one foot and i'm
ploringly shouting, so, boss! 50,
boss? at every jump. 1t was as good
as a regular circus performance
while it lasted, and enjoyed. it i'm
mensely; or, at least, I would have
done but for thinking about what
Boggs might say when he got loose.
The bootstrap finally broke, allowing
the deacon to roll in one direction,
while the COW plunged headlong
through a closed gate, smashing it
into kindling wood, and galloping off
in another. It suddenly;dawned up
on me that this was good time to
take vacation, 50 I started at once,
taking my employers consent for
granted. I stayed away until Boggs
had cooled off and built a new gate,
and then I sneaked back one morn
ing and went to work again. And
all the bluff, good natured old deacon
ever said to me about the matter was:
sWilynm Henry, I low ye'er q
mighty good hand ter work, an I
don't know 'zactly haw I'd manage
ter git along through haydn an har
vest without ye, but if ye ever try ter
kerry an umbreller in front of a COW
ag' in when I'm milkin' her, I'll git
up an break every tarnal last bone
in yer good for nothin carcass! Un-
derstand?' I understood. And not
wishing ito interrupt the harvest
gathering by getting crippled for life,
always left my parachute in the.
house dnring milking time after
that"

At one of the Duke of Hamilton's din
ners there was Russian prince whose
name / forgot and who sat on the right
hand of the duchess. At the close of the
first course a servant brought round q
plate on which were dozen little square
pieces of toast, with delicate morsel, APP
parently of meat, upon each, which he
elected from the duchess to consist of the
inside of woodcock and to be considered a
great delicacy. Unconscious that the plate
was to go round, he took it from the hands
of the servant, placed it before him and
deliberately ate up the whole of it, saying
that he found it excellent, but he asoer-
tanned that the delicate meat upon the
toast was not termed in polite circles the
stomach, but was called the trail. +"
Whether that particular dish or any 9TH
err disagreed with his digestion know not,
but it happened that the same night, a
little before midnight, the duke heard the
footsteps of his guest walking up and
down in the passage adjoining the rooms
in which they both slept. The duke lit a
candle, opened his door and went up to his
guest and inquired whether he was suffer
ing any pain, and the latter replied Yes,
have got very bad pain in my trail. "
