Once when the late Jay Gould went
TO Margaretyille, y. Y. with his ply
stefan and private car, he called on his
old friend George Decker, retired
merchant of the village, who was for.
merly clerk with Gould in Roxbury.
Every one who knows Mr.. Decker well
calls him G, and this was what Mr.
Gould said to him:
Hello, or guess you know me
this time, don't your"
A few years before Decker, while in
New York on business one afternoon,
was suddenly confronted ON Broadway
by n dapper, black eyed little man, who
grasped him by tue hand, exclaiming :
How are you, Mr.. Decker? l am glad
TO see you. ~
Mr.. Decker looked the little man over
from head to foot, and hurriedly an,
swered:
"ies, 50 am l, hut don't know you,

OUT OF THE FIRE.

One Horse That Was Not Panic stricken
when His Master Went to Rescue Him.
The common belief that horses in
burning building are always panic
stricken and refractory not recognizing
their friends and refusing obedience to
those who would rescue them, Is not
strictly true, as Is proved by an incident
related by Companion contributor.
The governor had fine black driving
horse called Dexter. Although strong
and spirited, Dexter was docile and ODE.
dent and was petted and made much
Of by his master. As the governor kept
no other horse, Dexter had the stable
all to himself, with clean stall and
full Manager
The stable was near the house, and in
addition to Dexter's stall and harness
room contained a large carriage room,
In oat bin and haymow over the stall.
One night, when the family and the
servants wero away from home and the
governor was in the house alone, he
was awakened by an ominous cracking
and bright glare ON his chamber win
dow, and before he could collect his
sleepy wits he was startled by cry UNI
like any sound he had ever heard. GAS 4he
sprahg out of bed the cry came again,
and fastening to the window he learned
the cause. The stable was all ablaze,
and out of the smoke and flames Dexter
was calling his master to his rescue.
Pausing only to don coat and slippers,
A fhA 1f0fd Ia,
door OF the stable leading into the stall
was already blocked by the flames, and
the only entrance to be had was through
the carriage room. the harness room and
narrow entry leading past the oat bin.
These rooms were on fire overhead, and
burning wisps of hay and shingles were
raining down in showers.
Blinded by smoke, the governor stun.
bled along the roundabout way and,
reaching the stall sooner than he expect
ed, fell headlong down the steps against
tho excited animal, who was vainly
Juggling at his halter. Thinking some
new danger threatened him, Dexter
gave mighty kick that sent his master
sprawling and famed him for month.
"Whoa, Dextarl" shouted the gcS
or. Don't you know me, sir? Steady
now, old fellow, and we'll get out of
this -
Recognizing his master 8 voice, Dex
ter turned his head toward the PROSTATE
man and uttered a coaxing whinny quite
unlike his previous loud cries of alarm.
Knowing he need fear no more kicks,
the governor crept up and cut the halter
and, calling Dexter to follow him,
liinped blindly through the smoke filled
entry and the two blazing rooms be-
You'd, and close after him went Dexter,
his nose pressed against his masters
shoulder, man and horse reaching the
safe outer air together
1T was DeXter's obedience that saved
him, said tho governor. Il could not
lead him, and had he shown the least
obstinacy or any less readiness to fol-
low ut word through all that round
about, unaccustomed way must have
left him to perish in the flames, but he
followed like we'll trained soldier, and
we escaped from our burning, fiery
furnace almost as safely as Shadrach,
Meshach and Abednego did from
theirs. Youth Companion.

crossed off the calendar of time. Then
May, as bright and winsome as of old,

TO look his admiration, Jerry was
straightway transported to paradise.
Jerry's term of service finally ex-

Producing Beef.

When farmers produce beef from
beef breeds they save time and gain In
the weight of their animals. Ii steer
.an be produced in year 1t becomes
rival of the hog and sheep-in rapidity
Of growth. At the recent Chicago fat
stock show the weight of the prize
yearling was 1000 pounds, and its net
weight, dressed, was 743 pounds, or
6S 10 per cent of dressed meat. The
two-year- ranged from 1872 pounds
10 ,735 pounds alive, and dressed from
So to 60 per cent. Such steers should
pay well, and they bring better prices
per pound than Is usually obtained, but
1t is useless for farmers to attempt to
attain such success unless they are
willing to resort to the breeds that will
accomplish the objects desired. Using
any kind of steers for producing the
choicest beef Is but loss of time and
food.

On Saturday evening, the 10Th inst,
a number of young folks assembled at
the residence of j. f. Pullen to cele-
brate the 19Uh anniversary of Miss
Nellie Pullen. OF course this was a
surprise to Miss Nellie who has resided
here for about IA years and has made
many lasting friends. The evening
was spent in social plays and games
until the lateness CT the time told the
young folks that they were intruding
on the Lords Day, when they retired
to their respective homes, well salts
fed with the evenings enjoyment,an
wishing Nellie many happy birthdays.
Friday night, the 18th inst, while
your humble scribe and sons were seat
ed around the stove, listening to the
rain on the window and discussing the

door. On arising and opening the door
we were somewhat surprised to see

with baskets, hunting fire and shelter

kets admitted them; more fuel added;
another crowd admitted; another fire

all was comfortable; the table arrang-

The table was now surrounded. and af-
ter thanks by Mr.. Golf, everybody par
took just like they had come in from
Kansas blizzard. When all had par
taken and the tables were out of the
way, the young folks tripped the fan
tastic, the old vets talked Of the prob
able war with Spain, and of coursethe
older ladies talked about the other
women and their dresses. 1t will be
remembered that this was the occasion
of the Goth birthday Of s. G. Popping,

CHANUrE, KANSAS, Feb. 20, '9S


Mr.. Editor of The TINES,
Sir: Since the announcement Of
the Horrors of the battle ship, Maine,
of the U. S., in Cuban waters at Hav-
ana, l see by the papers and learn
by listening to the conversation on
the street corners, that there are
those who seem to hold the Spanish
government directly responsible and
are in favor of dealing out summary
punishment at once, which causes
our mind to revert back to the days
of'61, when the war of the rebellion
was impending. We then learned
that those that were most loud in
their clamors for war, were not the
most ready to offer their services.
We admit that the honor of nation,
like that of an individual, is sacred
= "a .. d
and should be jealousy guarded.
And the best method of doing this
in both cases is to act with care. Ad-
hitting the,fact that from our own
standpoint with the information at
hand, it looks like the. result of NAL
ice on the part of Spanish arthori-
ties, and that she should be summar-
lily punished, but the reply of The
mistocle, that, great statesman, When
war was pending between Carthage
and Rome, and he was advised tc
seize the Roman ship then stopping
in the harbor, when he said: "Noth
ing seemingly would be of more ad
vantage to us than such a trip, ye
nothing might more surely be disas
trous." Then we are inclined tC
think the administration is acting
with intelligence in making a thor
ough Investigation before committing
themselves. We have grave and
venerable men at the head of oul

Fruit Growers.

One of the organizations that
Chanute should be proud of is Neo-
sho Valley Fruit Growers Assocla-
ton. This concern was organized
last year by our most pushing fruit
men and farmers. it did more, per-
haps to advertise Chanute than any
other industry in our midst; it sue
ceeded in finding market for all
the fruit and berries raised in and
about our city, and the cash was
paid for the product; not a quart OF
berries of any kind went to waste
in our city last year; our citizens got
fresh fruit every morning and might
the surplus was shipped to other
points; many men made more OF OF
from one to five acres of ground
than other farmers who simply raised
corn, made off of a quarter section;
they exemplifed the fact that the
soil around Chanute is especially
adapted to the raising of small fruit
and convinced everybody that they
could run an organization on bust
ness principles and make both ends
meet. Below is list of the men,
bers furnished by ]. B. Beatty, who
sold more than $4,000 worth of
fruit for cash last year:
Jas. Truitt & Sons,
Jas. Stanfeld.

Sion Barbee,
G. N. Chappell,
A. F. Taylor,
M. E. Wayman,
Alex Baird,
J. w. Arthur,
D. R. Chappell,
John Baird,
Samuel Stanfeld,
A number of these people sold al
most $500. 90 worth of fruit. while
others run from $3.50. 90 to $500. 90,
An effort will be made to get CAN
ming factory established here-not

$4,000 per month each, but a
factory where one man will fill all
of the above Offices, and let his sal
airy depend on what he makes out of
the concern. Such canning fac
tory would be a great benefit to
Chanute and the fruit growers of the
