Tho Soldier Boys Pnjamas.

Jack Burke of Atchison writes that
the volunteers at Camp Alger recently
received hurry orders to pack up and
move. The Atchison boys were
ready first of all. The last to be
ready were from Emporia and Topeka,
and they were so burdened down with
sheets, pajamas, etc., that they fairly
staggered into line. One Emporia
boy had seventeen nightshirts strap
ped to his back, and was afraid to
leave one behind for fear the sweet
heart who made it would hear of it
and be mortally offended. The EN-
poria company is known as the
s'Nightshirt" company, and every To-
peka man is called "sheets" for short.

SQUIRE LEATHER'S BOY.
Proof Positive That Hezekiab Was a Chip Oh
The Old Block;

Speaking Of the boy who used his
sisters tooth brush to paint his double;
ripper sled; and forgot to wash out the
paint before lie returned 1t to her
room," observed the Major, reminds
me that you never can tell, what a
boy will do. There was old Squire
Lcathers' boy Hezekiah-the Squire
thought he couldn't depend On him,
but he found he could. g., ,....
esquire Leathers had q fine water
melon patch, Of which he was very
proud. But he annually lost n good
many melons through the raids OF
tramps and other predatory persons.
At last he got mad, and vowed be
would protect his own interests. 50
he loaded up his shotgun pretty near
to the muzzle with birdshot and gave
It to Hezekiah, and sent him out to
stand guard one night: Tie boy
made some objections to going; and
the Squire got it into his head that
he was afraid He rebuked him
roundly. told him that he was un::
worthy to bear the proud name Of
Leathers and pushed him out into the
night. Then the Squire went grumb;-
ling to bed. In half an hour he got
up, saying that he was going out to
test the boy.
""Tain't necessary to make n tarnal
fool of yourself, Jonas says his wife;
4 admit It, Admit. he's q coward?
says the Squire. No; admit you're
a fool says his wife. 'Mebbe am
says the Squire. But that boys a
coward. He takes after your family.
I'll show you he's afraid to pull the
trigger and the Squire went out
doors and into the melon patch. Heze.
"kiah was in one corner behind a
burdock, waiting for game. The
strange figure attracted his attention
through the darkness, and he gave 1t
the left barrel. The doubling parent
Jumped ten feet into the mir, howleil
murder, and ran for the fence. Heze-
kiah's instructions had been to
make a clean job, so he let his worthy
father have the other barrel. This
settled the Squire, and he crawled
to the house and sent for the doctor,
listening meanwhile to remarks ap=
propriate to the occasion from Ills low
ing and dutiful wife. The old man
was always n little lame after this,
and it used to be pathetic thing to
hear him tell the story Of the occur
renee, and at the end shake his head
sadly as he observed: I seen when it
was too late that what I ought to a
done was to "a sent the hired man
out to test that boy. Hezekiah was Il
true Leathers, after all.' '"-uarper' $

FertiIizers for Peach Trees,

One of the difficulties In successful
peach growing is to get good land to
grow them OH. The succsss of peaches
on pool, sandy soil when the; coun-
try was new; and when even this had
plenty Of potash, has led to the belief
that sandy soil is always BEST. 1t re-
qiiires not only heavy potash man
uring to make long-cultivated sandy
soil fit to grow peaches, but also the
building up of humus in the soil so
that it can be filled with carbonic acid
gas and make the potash effective.

MIssoURIANs ASSEMBLE.
First Steps Are Taken Towards Or
 ganizing a State Society.

At the Ford hotel yesterday after noon there assembled about thirty rep resentative citizens of the valley who at some time or other lived in the state of Missouri. The meeting was called for the purpose of organizing a state society similar to those which have been formed by the people who have settled in the valley from Illi- nois, Indiana, Iowa and other states.
 Norman Lackland was made chair man of the meeting, and L. E. Hoffman secretary. The chairman stated that the purpose of the organization was to bring together the people of the valley who are natives of Missouri or had lived there previous to making their homes in the valley. When the orga- nization is perfected the names of thesa people will be enrolled and day ap- pointed at which the society will meet socially.
 Dr. Ford suggested tha. committee be appointed to draw up bylaws and a constitution by which the society is to oe governed. He also wanted a com mittee named to interest Lne Mis- sourians in the valley in the society and secure their names as members.
 The chairman appointed Dr. Ford, John T. Dunlap and Sam A. DysarC as 2 committee to taKe in hand the prep araI.ion of bylaws and constitution, and the committee will meet on next Monday evening for that purpose. A comittee on membership was named as follows: F. w. Sheridan, A s. Arthur, G. D. Gray, R. E. Daggs, John Scot ten and Captain P. P. Parker.
 The organization will be perfected on next Friday afternoon at 2:30 at the Ford hotel, when a large number of Missourians are expected to be pres ent to sign their names to the list of mem bers, which was begun yesterday
