Speaking about going away from
home to trade, reminds the Mulvane
REGARD man OF prosperous farmer,
who lives much nearer Mulvane than
he does Wichita. The farmer bought
Is pounds of sugar in the big town,
and came home in a sweet temper be-
cause he was two pounds Of sugar
ahead. He put the IS pounds 10 the
receptacle used for storing sugar and
was pleased to see that it was filled 10
the brim. The next time he came to
Mulvane and gave dollar for l6
pounds of the same kind of sugar.
He took it home, emptled it 10 the
receptacle and was not little sur.
prised as well as pleased, to find that
the Is pounds of Mulyane sugar filled
the vessel just as full as the IS pounds
of Wichita sugar did. This is a fair
sample Of how this business is worked.

The Hunter Milling Company of yelling.
ton Asks for a Blanket Chartar.

Topeka, March 1.-THE Hunter
Milling company, which has been
defending itself in the federal court
against stakeholder who wants a
receiver because the company does
other things besides run mill, has
applied to the secretary of state for a
new charter. 1t asks for a perfect
blanket charter that will permit it to
run a steam mill, a bucket shop, or a
drug store, to mine coal, iron, lead or
any other mineral, tn sell coal, sugar,
tobacco, dry gOOds and clothing aud
to make machinery. Everything a
company can be authorized by charter
to do except run railroad lOr an in
surance business, is named in the
charter submitted. w. Z. Bush, sec.
rotary of state, declined to file it to-
day, on the advice Of George R. SHELL
ing, assistant attorney general.
Snelling's objection was that if the
company is milling company it can
not mine coal without changing its
name to cover its breeder range OF
business ventures.

The Uses of Scrap Iron.

Scrap iron commands a relatively
higher price than borings and turn
ings, for foundries fitted up to use
pig iron can very conveniently make
use of large pieces of scrap iron for
melting, and thus its market is less
restricted. Behring'S and turnings
labor under another disadvantage,
however, for, in comparison with the
larger pieces of waste iron, the former
are impure. Stored on the floor I'M
der the machines they are exposed to
the accumulation of dust from the
floor, dirty waste used by the work
men to wipe oil from their hands,
tools carelessly thrown down and for
gotten in the rush of work, rubbish of
every sort, and brass or lead filings
from the finishing departments. This
accumulation of impurity entails loss
in iron of from ten to twenty per cent.
in weight to the purchaser, hence their
lower price.
There are round dozen Of large
scrap iron dealers in New York, who
employ from ten to twelve workmen
and drivers each, and in addition to
these many smaller fry who, with
their own horse and truck, and per-
haps poorly paid helper, keep soul
and body together, and sometimes
make enough to feed their horses, by
buying in the cheapest and selling in
the dearest markets the small lots Of
borings and scrap iron they are able
to haul.-New York Times.

reused them, and I had the boatpulled
as close in shore as I dared.
''The savages were rushing about
and shouting and making q tremend-
GUS row. Evidently they were search
ing for me, and they had lit great
torches of dry cocoanut leaves, which
showed them up as bright as day.
This was just what I wanted, for I
emptied my rifle into the midst of
them, and the boys gave them q volley
with theirs. They scattered like
magic in every direction. I made
rush up the shore and carried the wife
down, for I was beginning by this
time to feel bit ashamed Of myself
for having left her so quickly. But
what could I do? Ny gun was in the
boat, and if I had stepped I should
only have been killed, too, and the
children would have been left without
father. I found her lying in the
same spot, but she was dead, and the
wretches had even tied her up ready
to carry her away.
"By the time I had lain her in the
boat it was nearly daylight, and I
thought would wait bit and see it
through. My blood was up, and I
felt ready for any devilment. I took
a big drink of schnapps and gave the
boys a strong dose, too. This, as they
were not used to liquor, made them
quite mad, and they wanted to land at
once and wipe out the whole settle
ment. But I thought it wise to rest
awhile, and, with my rife on my knee,
L sat still and looked at the dead
woman as she lay on the bottom boards
of the boat, and at the little children
sleeping SO peacefully by her side. We
pulled the boat off just out of range of
their spears. By and by, when the
sun was up, o great big savage stole
down to the beach to have look
around and [ potted him as neatly as
I would have done wild pig.
"Then another and another, until
they begin to see that the business
was a dangerous one, and gave it up.
Having scared them sufficiently, We
anchored the boat close in and waded
ashore. It took me half day to dc
it, but I cleaned that town out thor
oughly. Their houses were little bits
OF huts-not like our fine dwellings,

each fenced in as if they were always
