4 baggage man on the Santa Fe who
runs into Kansas City from ont in the
western part of Kansas has lost lots Of
sleep. 1t is doubtful if he can ever catch
up with it. He leaves Hutchinson at
night and reaches Kansas City in the
morning. Nearly every night he brings
i'll his car TWO or three eoops of live do
nestle ducks. During the night, when
be has no baggage to deliver at small
stations, it has been his habit and privi.
lege to lie down on an improvised couch
and doze. With the advent of the ducks
the doing stopped. The almost constant
quaeking of the ducks, who could not
understand their strange environment,
would not permit of sleep.
For many nights as he lay awake he
planned relief. He thought of strangling
the ducks or chloroforming them. But
neither expedienti seemed good. One
night bright idea came to him. After
he bad put it into execution the ducks
were silent.
The next night he had two ooops of
unusually yociferous ducks. As soon as
it came time fer sleep he wrenched a
slat from one of the eoops. reached in
and palled cut duck. From his pocket
he took a small rubber band, which he
slipped over the ducks bill just back of
the nostrils The duck tried to quack,
but tho rubber band while ii stretched
little, would not permit the duck to
open its bill far enough to use its
tongue. Only murnur came from It.
One by enc the ducks were muzzled,
and the baggage man rested comforta-
bly,.
The commission men were surprised
next morning when they received a lot
of ducks with rubber bands around
their bills, and when the bands were re-
moved the shouts of protest from the
ducks were deafening. Kansas City

SPRAlNS.
Why They are SO Severe and How They
Should Be Treated.

Should BE Treated.
1t IS commonly said that sprained
joint is worse than broken bone, and
this is often true, for in severe sprain
the injury is really greater than in o
simple fracture. The ankle is perhaps
the most frequently sprained of all the
joints, though the knee, elbow and
wrist are also very liable TO be injured,
In falls especially.
A sprain of joint varies greatly in
severity. 1t may consist of simple
wrench, without the tearing of any OF
the ligaments, or it may be more ex.
tensiye injury, stopping just short of a
dislocation.
In moderately severe case one or
more of the ligaments of the joint will
be torn slightly, or possibly completely
across. The membrane beneath the lig-
aments, which retains the 1ubricating
fluid of the joint, will be ruptured, per-
mitting the escape of more or less OF
this fluid into the parts about, and Civ
ing rise sometimes to a considerable
swelling. This swelling may be increas-
ed also by an effusion OF fluid into the
joint, especially if inflammation sets in,
and finally there is usually slight or
even sometimes quito pronounced es-
cape of blood Into the tissues and this,
gradually working to the surface, ap.
pears as black and blue stain.
In more severe cases the tendons pass
ing over the joint and attaching the
muscles which novel it to the bones may
suffer considerable damage. or one CT
them may be broken or torn from its at
taehment, bringing with it silver of
bone. Where SO much harm has been
done to all the parts-bones. Igaments,
tendons aad nasseles-it IS easy to aR-
derstand that much pain will result and
that the euTe will be tedious
III the treatment Of q sprain the first
thing to be aimed at Is to relieve pain
and prevent inflammation, then to favor
healing of the torn structures, and after
that to restore the Use of the limb.
The first of these objects is accom-
plished by absolute rest Of the injured
part, the limb being raised, and by lead
and opium wash. spirit lotion, or such
other local applications as the physician
may prescribe. Swelling is prevented in
a measure and pain is sometimes re-
lieved by firm bandaging with fan
mel bandase.
When the swelling, heat and pain
are gone, the limb should not be used
too soon, but should be brought gradu-
ally back Co health by cold douching,
dry rubbing in direction toward the
body aud passive motion. It is some
times necessary in very severe cases to
treat the sprain by means of splints, ex-
actly as if it wero fracture or disloca-
ton. Youths Companion.

FIRE AT DOLD'S
SMOKE HOUSE CATCHES ON
FIRE.
Employees Put II Ont Before the De-
ment Arrived.

The fire department was called TO the
Jacob Dold packing houses last night at
$3.50. The smoke house caught on fire,
but very little damage was done. 1t was
put out by employees before the fire de-
partment reached the scene. So bad are
the roads that it was found necessary TO
put two teams on the big. heavy engine.
They started north on Market street and
when they passed Tenth street il was SO
muddy that It was with difficulty they go
through. One Of the lead horses fell down
and ran his head in the mud but soon
recovered and was up and on the run
again. The fire originated by one piece
OF side falling into the fire below. The
string which held it broke. The grease
quickly ignited with the sm0ldering fire
and soon the whole smoke house was all
ablaze. The smoke house, while detached
from the main building. IS so close that
should fire get well under way it would
do considerable damage to the principal
buildings. At the time the fire broke
out there was only some six thousand
pounds of meat in the house. Three thOus-
and pounds is all that is seriously dam
aged. Fortunately on Friday the house
had been clearned Of many thousand
pounds Of meat. The damage, Mr.. Dold
said last night, was very small. The loss
is fully covered BY insurance.
