Because farmers alvays have bor,

Because farmers always have horse
power on the farm it does not follow that
it must be used for every purpose where
additional power is required There are
many kinds Of jobs where a small en-
CINE, which any farmer can easily learn
to run. will give better satisfaction and
be far less expensive than keeping a
horse. With proper connection so as
to furnish the power such an engine will
do the churning or run the milk separ-
ator. It win do the washing and turn
the griudstone in the summer. q job that
has Disguised more boys with farming

Of the engine is to make Il turn q lathe
where the young people can cut out var

skill in handicraft that will be useful to
them all their lives.

New York. Dec. I7.-Maj. Gen. Wes-
ley Merritt, late commander of the
United States military forces in the
Philippine Islands, from which post he
WAS called toIParis, to consult with the
American peace commissioners, reached
this city today on board the steamer
Lucania, from Queenstown. With Gen.
Merritt were his bride, her mother,
Mrs. Norman Williams, and Norman
Williams, jr., of Chicago, and Capt. L.
II. Strothers, aide de camp on the staff
Of Gen. Merritt. The general will re-
sumo command of the military depart
ment of the east, which position he
held when he was ordered to Manila.
In an interview lie said there is no
foundation for the report that Admiral
Dewey's health has broken down as
result of his wonderful work in Manila
harbOr on May l. He was in fine
physical condition when left him, and
he was then over the strain of the naval
fight. There is another thing that I
would like the people to know. It is
that the climate of the Philippines is
not by any means as it is said to be. l
met number of Europeans there who
had been in the country for fourteen
years or more and they seem to thrive
and had no serious complaint about the
climate to make. The mortality among
our troops sent to preserve order there
would not be as great as some would
have the people believe. 1 think it will
take about 10000 soldiers to hold the
islands in case this country desires to
keep them, and see no reason why it
should not. l have no comment to
make on the so-called expansion which
is being discussed pro and cpn these
days."

The official figures place Mr..
Longs majority over Mr.. Simpson
at 1,761. It is well to bear in mind
that this not plurality but clear
majority. Hundreds of votes were
cast in the district for PETER, and q
number went to the Socialist Labor
candidate for governor. On neither
Of these tickets was there a nominee
for congressman and nearly every
On> of the voters who thus threw
their ballots to the small parties
voted for Mr.. Simpson. Withou,
going into the reasons why they did
this the fact remains that they did.
and that if there had been nominees
for Congress on the PETER and Soci-
a'ist tickets, Longs majority would
have been over 1000. The soldier

probably increase the official majority
for the Republican candidate to

Kansas reputation for nothing being
impossible: ssTbe horrid news comes
from Col, 81. r. Norton's farm near
Elsberry, Kansas, that q young man
climbed q corn stalk last Monday to
see how the ears were getting along,
and now the corn is growing faster
than he can get down. Three men
have undertaken to cut down the
stalk, but owing to the rapid growth
it is feared they will not succeed in
time to prevent the young mans
death of starvation. He is subsisting
on raw corn, and has alreadw thrown
down four bushels of cobs and it is
now thought his supply is almost ex-
hausted." The above from one of the

From the Topeka Daily Capital.
Saloon keepers on a certain street
in Atchison are begging to have their
licenses reduced. They claim that
the council is too hard on them and
that unless the licenses are, reduced
they will be obliged to go ont of
business. There is an Anti-Horse
Thief Association in Atchison.
Wouldn't it be funny if the horse
thieves of northeastern Kansas would
get together and beg that the associ-
alton be not too hard on them? And
vet it is just much against the law of
Kansas to sell liquor as it is to steal
a horse. If the horse thieves should
complain that the restrictions of the
association were liable to drive them
out of business, the screws would be
frightened Immediately.

An English naval officer who was
an eye witness of the incident tells
this story of the American troops in
Manila: 1.-THE city was quite crowd
ed with both American and Spanish
soldiers. and they seemed to be on
the friendliest terms. As was cross
ing one of the numerous bridges
across the Pasig river, I saw native
Filipino spit in the face Of Spanish
officer and then run to the American
sentinel who was guarding the bridge
and demand his protection. It was
some time before the Filipino could
make himself understood, and the
sentry took some time to catch on to
what had been done. but you can
imagine my surprise when he handed
his gun to the Spanish officer and
caught the native by the nap of the
neck and the seat Of the trousers and
pitched him off the bridge into the
Pasig river. Then he calmly took
his gun from the Spanish officer and
negan pacing the beat as if nothing
had happened. The American sol
der may not be So military as his
brother of Europe. but he is made of
the right stuff"
