HIS MIDDLE NAME

Il is rare case where an Israeiite.

middle name. To christen their children
with one name is a custom handed down
for ages. and is respected as part and par
eel Of their religion. Mr.. Charles G.
Cohn. junior partner In the Boston Store,
OF this city, is one OF these exceptions.
However, the name Is not due 10 any de-
parture from the 0'd-ume custom by MS
parents. At birth he was christened

LOOKING FOR FAPN rt,vDs

On Wednesday morning Mr. T. A. Sulu-
van of this city. went to Winfield where
the district court was in session, 10 try
and have case set which he was inter-
ested in. He said that when he got off
the train at the Santa Fe depot the plat
form was crowded with farmers who were
there on the lookout for men to thresh
their wheat. Although it is some three
or four weeks off Before threshing will
begin, the farmers offered 70 take anv
farm hands and boards them until that
time in order to have them when wanted.
He was told that each train was met by
any number of farmers looking for help.
So busy were the farmers that the Judge
would not set his case. OF course he
could compel them to appear and be jurors
but did not care to when their crops
might suffer By being compelled to be at
the court house for two or three weeks.
Only cases Of the utmost Importance were
being considered. the rest going over until
the Kansas K.ondike is cared for.

COLLEGE HILL THE COOLEST PLACE.

COLLEGE HILL THE COOLEST PLACE.
Kansas has always had the reputation
of having cool nights even during the noj-
test weather. This reputation has been
we'll earned and never nas it been assailed.
Several times during July, August or Sep
tember the thermometer has nearly run
out at the top. that is the mercury mas at
times got as high as 10 in the shade, but
when night comes there is always a re-
freshing. cool breeze from the south, en-
aiding slumberers 20 sleep peacefully and
cOntentedly. However, since so much
shade has grown in the heart of the city
it is hard for the breeze to get through
and reach the down town residents. The
coolest place in the city is said 10 be on
College Hill, where it blows a stiff breeze
when in the city it seems only very
mild one.

HORSES SUPPLANTING BICYCLES.
For the past five years the mooted ques-
ton all over the land has been the re,a-
tive Importance OF the horse and the bicy-
Gle It was vehementIy asserted by wheel
enthusiasts that me latter was bound tOa
take the place of the faithful horse. 10 the
ultimate exclusion Of the latter. The uni
versal fad Of the wheel its application 10
the diversified uses of locomotion. both
for utility and pleasure, would appear to
substantiate this prophecy, and the fam
lily horse would seem 20 be destined 10 an
nglorious obscurity. And yet it now ap
pears that the wild enthusiasm a first
exploded for the bicycle has at least in a
measure subsidized, and the horse yet holds
his own among the worlds evenly bal
anced classes. An eastern exchange fas
the following 10 say along this line: AT
one riding school in New York City it re-
quires nine instructors in equestrianism
to teach the large class of pupils that at
tend, and that school is patronized by the
most fashionable people of both sexes in
the metropolis Here is an argument
against the claim that the bicycle has sup
planted the horse in the hearts of pleas
ure seekers All the local liVerymen
corroborate this statement, and unhesi-
tatingly declare that their Sunday livery
business, when the weather is fair, is far
better than it has been in any year since
the bicycle first came into craze. The
wheel seems now to have settled down
into regular commonplace thing, con-
venient and handy. but shorn somewhat
of the original gloss of novelty and new
ness. So il comes about, like widely cir
cling cycles, that things come around after
all TO the place OF beginning; and though
the bicycle has undoubtedly come to stay,
yet the old family horse. the pet pony
and the useful farmers friend still have
a place, both in the realm of pleasure
seeking. and for business and commercial
enterprise.
