BEST TINE TO KICK A MAN.
First Save His Life and Then You
May Apply Your Boot
with Impunity.

Perk and Quirk were walking along the
crowded street, feeling very kindly toward
themselves and the rest of humanity Just
as they reached the middle of crossing
one of those aggravating individuals who
walk one way and look another stepped di-
rectly in front OF a cable car which was
rounding the corner. OF course the ca had
no fender on it. Nearly everybody in the
vicinity yelled, and naturally the obewil-
dered man looked in the wrong direction.
Quirk didn't yell, though He jumped to
the side of the track and grabbed the man
by the collar and yanked him clear of the
tracks and almost out of his shoes. Then
he gave him another ferocious jerk to get
him out of the way OF an express wagon,
and, getting him at proper range al the same
time, he gave the poor man a Kick that must
have driven his spine up INTO his hat. And
with the kick Quirk roared:
''Confound you, keep your eyes open when
you are on the street,"
Quirk looked unutterably savage, but Perk
tottered to the curb, sat down and laughed
until the tears came. Then he said:
you are the only big enough idiot on
earth to save a mans life and then kick
him for it."-Chicago Times-Herald.

KANSAS DAIRY ASSOCIATION.
Omcer. aud Passes Resolutions Fe-
voring OIeo Bill

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 20-The Kansas
State Dairy association closed q most
successful meeting here yesterday.
The report of the committee on reso-
buttons was particularly interesting to
the delegates on account OF the fight
that is to be made to procure favorable
legislation on the pure food question.
The report said that the people of
Kansas were being fed on adulterated
products, when they supposed they
were getting creamery goods They
ask the legislature to pass q meas
ure that will compel the sale of all
food products under their proper
names and prevent deception. The
association does not ask the legisla-
ture to prohibit the sale of oleomar-
gerine in the state, but asks that it be
sold under the name of oleo and not
called butter. A committee was APP
pointed to push the matter in the leg
islature this winter. Over ST.
600 was paid out in cash and
premiums to the butter and cream
cry exhibitors and diplomas were
also awarded to those who
scored 80 per cent or better on their
goods Out OF i3S exhibits, 126 re-
