The Medicine Lodge Cresset which

says: "The latest remedy for blaekleg
is vaccination with poke root. A hole
is cut in the Calls brisket, a small
piece of poke root is put in under the
skin and couple of stitches taken to
hold in. Sandiford and HendricksOn
had bunch of calves on feed and lost
six from blackleg. They dehOrned,
branded, vaccinated with poke root
and turned them loose on the range
and did not lose another calf. We

tentative on all his calves and never

In seasonable years no country is
more highly favored OF more pleasant
to look upon than western Kansas.
The buffalo grass, in the distance, can
hardly be distinguished from the
wheat fields, and the cattle feeding
upon it would put their corn-fed kind
to shame in the matter of shapely
forms and the quantity of tallow that
cover their bones. Wherever a seed
has fallen a plant is growing with a
vigOF that only the rich soil and fer
tilizing sunshine and shower of a Kan
sas spFingtime can furnish. Kansas is
q land of promise, an Eden, in the
good years. disappointment, a gehen-
ma in the bad ones. And yet, with all
your faults, Kansas, we love thee still.

Harmon D. Wilson in the BelOit Ca
zette; They're a comm back to Kansas,
they're a crossin' on the bridge; you
can see their mover wagons on the top
of every ridge. On the highways and
the turnpikes you can hear their wag-
ons hum, for they're comm back to
Kansas, and they're comm on the run.
Who's a comm back to Kansas Why,
the migratory crowd who left the state
some months ago with curses long and
loud and they swOFe by the Eternal
that they never would return TO this
Kansas land internal where the hot
winds blast and burn; where the rivers
run in riot when they want it to be dry
where the sun so fiercely sCOrehes
when they want cloudy sky, So they
loaded up the children and they whis-
tied for the dogs; tied a COW behind the
wagon, to the butcher sold the hogs;
hitehed the ponies to the schooner,
turned her PROV toward the east, left
this beastly state Of Kansas for a land
of fat and feast. Did they find it,
Naw-they didn't! though they roamed
the country DER from the lakes up in
the Northland to the far-Off ocean
shore; and they found that other Sec
tons had their tales of woe to sing, SO
they're humpin' now for Kansas, at the
breaking forth of spring.

Women and INSURANCE.

Only about eight or nine of the life
insurance companies of the country in
sure women at the same rates as men
A considerably larger number insure
women, but charge them an additional
$5 per 81, 900, and still more even do
not insure women at all. It is the opin-
ion Of those qualified to speak that the
companies charging the excess rate are
not justified in doing so and that the
practice win not long be continued.
The mortality rate experienced among
its women insurers by one well known
company has been about 80 per cent Of
what was expected, and it has insured
several women for the full amount it
will issue on any one life-that is, $50, :
600. The heretofore unfavorable atti-
tude of insurance companies toward
women has been due undoubtedly to the
fact that few if any women had an in
surable interest, but that day has passed.
As the avenues of occupations have
widened thousands of women today
are the sole support of children or par
ents, and those thus dependent on them
need the protection of insurance as
much as il the family breadwinner
were a man.

YOUNG MEMS POPULARITY.

Amiability, KindIiness, Manliness, Integ-
rity, Are Its Foundation.
To the query, Are young men who
cannot, from religious convictions, play
cards, dance or attend the theater apt
to be popular with young women of re-
fnement and education who indulge in
such amusements? Edward W. Box, in
Problems For Young Men, in The
Ladies' Home journal, responds:
why, certainly. Why not? The
amusements in which man indulges
have nothing to do with his outward
attraetiveness or popularity. 1t is the
way in which young man carries him
self in his department. that makes or
mars his popularity with girls or men.
One of the most popular and delightful
fellows know in New York has never
been inside Of theater, although he is
80 years of age Nor has he ever danced
or played cards. He was a personal
friend for ten years before knew thai
his religious principles precluded his in
diligence in these amusements. His So
cret is that he does not carry his convic-
tions on his sleeve for everybody to rub
against And of his popularity with
women, young and mature, can assure
you absolutely. He reads about the new
plays and can, therefore, talk about
them if they come up in conversation.
If asked if he has seen certain actor
or play, he merely replies in the mega
tive. Never does he force his convic-
tions upon others. A young mans pop
ularity with either sex rests upon some
thing more than his forms of amuse-
ment. Amiability of manner, hndli-
ness, pleasant address, manly out
look on life, honorable principles-all
these go far toward insuring popular

Remarkable Story About Ants.

A traveller returned from South Africa
tells of a singular combat that he once
witnessed in deep forest in the heart
of the dark continent Happening to
cast his eyes toward the ground he no
ticed caterpillar crawling along at
rapid pace, followed by 100 or more
small ants. Being quicker in their
movements than the worm, the ants
would catch up with the caterpillar, and
one would mount his back and bite him.
Pausing for an instant, the caterpillar
would turn his head and catch the ant
in such way as to kill it almost in
stantly. This slaughter Of their fellows
did not seem to have any effect upon the
attacking hordes, the place of the dead
warrior being presently filed by another
hero willing to sacrifice his life. After
slaughtering a dozen or more Of his tor
mentors the worm began to show signs
of fatigue, whereupon the ants made
combined attack. At this the worm
sought safety by climbing a stalk Of
grass, going up tail first and defending
himself with his head and strong jaws.
Seeing themselves outdone on that score
the ants set to work and soon felled the
stalk with their mandibles. When this
was done, they all pounced upon the
helpless worm and made short work of
him. ST. Louis Republic

The Pointed Boards.

The Society of the Pointed Boards re-
Gently held its third dinner in New
York The Pointed Boards is one Of the
most exclusive societies in the city. Ar
ticle 2, section /, of the bylaws says,
"No one shall be eligible unless he have
a carefully cultivated beard Of natural
and personal growth, in good standing
and terminating in one symmetrical
point half an inch from the apex of the
chin, of sufficient evidence to preclude
controversy. As far as possible every
thing connected with the dinner har-
monized with the aims and objects of
the society. The menu cards, most Of
which were either designed or executed
by the diners themselves, gave ample
evidence of the whisker mania, and
even the celery was served with its
foliage trimmed la Vandyke. There
were S3 members present, several Of

stock at the Yards.

The Chicago stockyards handled
1900, 476 cattle in 1895, an increase Of
II, 918 over the receipts of the previous
year. Native beef steers averaged 81. O5
against 81. 90 in 1895. Prices for this
class ranged from So 80 to So. 1t
was year of low values, owing to de-
preston at home and the lowest prices
abroad for the past five years. Bottom
was touched in March, when good to
choice steers did not average over SS. rs.
Values for good cows and heifers have
fiuctuated within narrow limits, and the
difference in price between steers and
heifers of equal quality has materially
lessened. While the receipts of steers
have increased, cows have come to mar
ket in lesser numbers than last year.
Female stocks have been reserved for
breeding, and this should stimulate the
demand for bulls. Receipts of Texans
decreased SO, 900 and northwestern
rangers fell off 100, 900. The export
trade largely increased, showing gain
of 81 per cent over the previous year.
The number tagged for export was 243,-
800. This foreign demand continues
strong, and the situation is encouraging
for the holder of we'll fatted cattle. The
highest prices of the year were paid in
December, and the advance has been
marked since the opening Of the present
year.

wheelbarrow Instead Of Knapsaok.

Major Padrin of the Italian army has
invented very ingenious contrivance
which is designed to supersede the KNAPP
sack. He has invented a vehicle to
which he has given the name of the cy-
closac, or the sack on wheels. On this
will be carried the baggage Of two sol
diers, and the uprights of the tent will
be used to convert it into a sort Of
wheelbarrow, which the soldier can
drag behind him when ascending er
push before him when descending. The
two soldiers will take it turn about to
push or draw the cyclosac, and it is
contended that this arrangement will
not merely enable the troops to march
much longer distances, but to fight
much better on the field of battle, being
relieved of all impediments, which can
be left in these light wheelbarrows in
the rear.

A New Point In Insurance.
MARY DERwENT.

The ingenuity Of some insurance COM
panies in devising ways and means for
eyading responsibility is equaled by
nothing ON earth A claim was recently
made against an accident insurance COM
pany for indemnity by a physician who
had met with an injury in very pecul-
lar fashion. He had been i'll as the re-
suit of an accident received some time
previous, but was partly recovered
While driving he was seized with a
spasm, and great exhaustion overcame
him. He stopped his horse and proceed
ed to administer hypoderrnic injection
of some powerful stimulant to which he
resorted in such emergencies Just as
he was about to insert the needle his
horse started The needle was driven
deep into the flesh, inflicting a severe
and painful injury. He sued for indem-
nifty, he being disabled for % weeks.
The judge dismissed the complaint on
the ground that the injury was not
caused through external violent and ac-
cidental means in the intent and pur-
pose of the policy. This decision will
strike the average thinking individual
as somewhat peculiar If mishap due
to the sudden starting of horse is not
an accident, it mk be interesting to
know how the wor& could be defined.

Hadrian, in A. D. 1870, built a stone
wall from Bowness, near Carlisle, on
Solway firth, to the river Tyne. near
Newcastle. It was 80 miles long and
garrisoned by 10000 troops It was
from IL to 90 feet high at various
points, feet thick at the top and was
provided with a gallery in the rear,
which enabled its defenders to take
their stand with only head and shoul-
ders visible to the enemy. At every
quarter of mile there was castle
with garrison of troops. Beacon lights
and signals were used, and on an at
tack, whether by day or by night, the
news was at once flashed up and down
the wall from sea to sea.

M'CLELLAN's .WARHoRsE.
Something About Dan, the Only Charger
the General Rode.

the General Rode.
General McClellan's favorite war
horse, usually called Dan, was a dark
bay, about II hands high, we'll bred,
with good action and never showing
signs of fatigue, no matter how long
the co1rse. He was an extremely hand
some, snowy animal, with more than
ordinary horse sense. Dan was a very
fast walker-an important requisite in
commanders charger-but disagree
able accomplishment SO far as his staff
were concerned, as their horses in gen.
eral were kept on a slow trot.
After the war Dan became the family
horse at General McClellan's country
home in Orange, and seemed to be proud
Of his position, performing his duties
well and easily. On one occasion, when
driven to a neighboring estate by two
ladies Of the generals family, and left
united, as usual, at the door, Dan came
to the conclusion that they had remained
long enough for an afternoon call, SO,
declining to waste any more time there,
he trotted back to his stable, carefully
turning out to pass carriages and other
vehicles met on the way home Dan
died and was buried in Orange.
The general said of him: ssDan was
one of those horses that could trot all
day long at very rapid gait, which
kept all other horses at a gallop. He
earned from the aids the title of that
devil Dana name that he justified ON
many long and desperate ride before /
gave up the command of the Army Of
the Potomac. Dan was the best horse /
ever had. He was never i'll for an hour,
never fatigued, never disturbed under
fire. The dear old fellow survived the
war for many years, dying at rire old
age in 1879. No matter how long we
might be parted-once for nearly four
years-he always recognized me the mo-
ment we met again and in his own way
showed his pleasure at seeing me. Even
on the day of his death, which was
painless one, he still attempted to rise
and greet me, but, unable to do So he
would lean his head against me and lick
my hand. No soldier ever had more
faithful horse than 1 had in Daniel
Webster. Our Animal Friends.

A BRIDES SOUVENIR.

The Latest and Most Attractive of the
Many Devices.
The desire to keep some souvenir of
the occasion upon which she becomes a
bride seems inherent in the feminine
mind, and many are the devices that
have been offered to supply the demand.
The extremely attractive little booklet
shown in the illustration is the latest
and by many considered the best. At
least it has the advantage of requiring
