| supposed every body 10 this day and

with my views on that subject, and
that such 40 idea enacted into law
would meet the practically unanimi-
Gus approval of my constituents. But
some degree Of criticism has developed
in certain quarters in opposition to
this law and its objects. This op-
position however small is entitled to
recognition. II the people of Sumner
county, Kansas, do not want the
advantages of higher education
within their own borders, I did not
intend and do not desire them to keep
it. So in accordance with these views,
| intend to ask the legislature, now
that it is called into special session, to
authorize The submission Of the future
maintenance Of the Sumner County
High school, to the voters Of the
county at the general election TO be
held in November, 1899.
While l have decided upon this
course, | am personally more in favor
Of the school and more greatlyappreci
ale the benefits to accrue thereirom
to the citizens Oft the county than ever
before; yet to place it, il at all, among
the permanent institutions of our

Hackney Preparing the Railroad Bill.


Topeka, Dec. l6.-Representative
Ed Hackney VI Sumner county, author
Of the Hackney amendment to the
senate railroad bill, which caused
such bitter fight 10 the house two
years ago and which finally went down
in defeat, was here today, in consul
tatiOn with Governor Leedy. He
came up upon special invitation of
the governor to discuss proposed rail-
road legislation. Hackney is chair.
man of the house judiciary committee,
and to him may he entrusted the
work OF preparing bill for the Pop
caucus to adopt. The governor told
him this morning what ground should
be covered In the bill, handed him
copies Of the vetoed bill, the Harris
bill, aud the Little bill, and told him
to see what kind Of a measure he could
formulate. He was cautioned to
change the wording Of the bill so as to
conceal the similarity between
the bill to 90 TO the caucus and the
one the governor vetoed two years
ago. After Hackney gets through
with that Job the governor will edit
the bill and make it portion Of his
| message.

A Startling Ending.

AS the tour de force of an enter
tainment once given at an English
country house, it was arranged that
the children should present an or
igfnal play, ito be entirely written
and acted by themselves. The play
turned out to be surprisingly well
written, and would have won much
praise but for the ending. This was
the story Of the play: A gallant
knight joined the brave King Rich
ard in one of his crusatles in Pales-
tine. Nothing having been heard
from him for more than seven years,
the conviction was forced on his
faithful wife that he was dead. The
villain came to her and wanted her
to marry him, but at the critical mo-
ment the knight reappunred and
clasped in his arms his lady, who had
never ceased to love him. Then ex-
plantations came. and he told of his
many noble achievements. 'In short,
dear wife," said he. II have never
been idle an instant" "And /, too,
my lord, have not been idle" she
said, with pride; "see!" And here
she led out before the electrified au-
dience four lovely children to be pre-
sented for the first time to their
father.|San Francisco Argonaut

Removing Stumps.

Some kinds of stumps decay so
slowly that farmers who have stumpy
land cannot afford to wait until they
rot out themselves. This is true Of
oak, ash and black walnut, while
hickory, cottonwood, elm, Eastwood
and soft maple will rot in few years
IL they are killed so no sprouts will
grow from them. When worked up
into small pieces old stumps make
excellent fuel and when the wood is
needed for fuel the best way to re-
move them is to make a hole under
them with a crowbar and set of a
small stick Of dynamite under each
one. This will blow them out of the
ground and shatter the wood so that
it is easily made into good fuel for
the stove or CRATE. II the wood is
not needed for fuel an easy way to
get rid OF them is to bore an inch
augur hole in the top OF the stump
eight or ten inches deep, fill it with
kerosene and plug it up tight. After
it has stood a month or 80, until the
kerosene has permeated the wood !,
set FIRE to this hole aud it will burn
the stump out, root and branch

Louis XIV. became devout in his old
age and set the fashion of a return
to external decency and the practice
of religion. How hollow was the
sham is evident from the explosion of
which followed hard upon his death
The deplorable example," says Ba-
ron Rothschild, 'set by the regent,
the Due d'Orleons, and by his sue
cessor at the head of the government,
the Due de Bourbon, and, in still
more barefaced and degrading way,
by Louis XIV. himself, was only too
eagerly initiated by the prominent
personages of the land. At the same
time it is curious fact that, while
the most licenti0ls depravity became
the accepted fashion, and it was al
most a point of honor for these per-
sonages to display their contempt for
ten marriage tie, and for both sexes
to vie with each other in parading
their vices, yet at no time in history
was more deferential homage out
wardly paid to woman or a more
minute regard for appearances dis
played in matters of tone and de-
meanor. Never did woman stand on
q higher pinnacle of supremacy than
at that period, and, whether for good
or evil, in all relations of life her
power became paramount. Women
ruled at Versailles, in the salons Of
Paris they brought politicians, artists
and men of letters into notoriety. By
their influential connections they be-
came the chief source of patronage
and preferment, and by their per-
sonal graces and cultivated intelli-
gence they stamped their individual
ity on the whole tendency of the age.

more lose Saturday nights and Sun

dirt in pals aud cans. Ju~t before
milking the mixer should wash his
hands in hot alter, as the dirt on the
hands is full of germs. We milk in a
pail that has top soldered to the
sides. In the top six-inch hole is
cut, into which fits a strainer. The
strainer is taken out to be washed
and the opening gives room for wash
ing the pail. This pail keeps bac-
terra in the fine dust from the cows
body from getting in the milk.
Brush the cows udder with damp
cloth just before milking and milk in
place free from dust. Strain the
milk thru the ordinary wire screen
and thru one thickness of canton
flannel or four thicknesses of cheese
cloth, treating the cloth with boiling
water just before using. This method
will give milk with few germs.
Cool milk as soon as drawn, for if
kept twenty or thirty minutes before
cooling the souring germs in it may
double. The colder the milk is kept
the longer it will keep sweet. Milk
held at 40 degrees has been kept
sweet week in August. The germs
which sour milk grow best at blood
heat at 60 degrees growth is slow, at so
very slow, and 80 it stops. Water in
Kansas wells stands at 81 degrees.
With it clean milk can be cooled and
held at 80 degrees and kept sweet
easily thirty-si to forty eight hours
in our hottest weather. The best
method of cooling is to use a cooler
in which the milk flows over a chilled
surface in drops, cooling each drop
thoroly and quickly.
After the milk is cooled put the
cans containing it in tank of cold
water and keep at 60 degrees or less.
If the dairy man has wind mill this is
easily done by letting small stream
of fresh water flow thru the tank.
At the Agricultural College milk is
kept good fort-eight hours without
either ice or windmill. The milk is
cooled to 60 degrees on Star Cooler
with we'll water, put in forty-quart
cans set in half barrels filled with
well water. The barrels are packed
with chaff and the water changed
night and morning. Dairymen iv-
ing long distance from the caeamery
or having little milk can follow the
College methods and deliver their
milk every other day, saving the ex-
pense for hauling.
In delivering to the creamery,
have cover on the wagon, cover the
cans with wet blanket, over which
put dry cover. This will hold the
temperature down until the milk at
rives at the creamery. July Is we
made an examination of the milk de-
livered at creamery and found the
lowest temperature to be II degrees,
while three-fourths of the patrons de-
livered milk 80 degrees or higher,
one patrons milk standing at 81 de-
grees. At such temperatures milk
might leave the farm sweet and arrive
at the creamery sour. Milk carried
in covered wagon but without ban
kets over the cans, raised 10 degrees
In hauling one and half miles.

Comm, Back to Kansas.

They're a comm back to Kansas,
They're a crossin' on the bridge;
You can see their mover wagons
On the top of every ridge.
On the highways and the turnpikes
You can hear their wagons hum,
For they're comm back to Kansas,
And they're comm on the run.
Who's a comm back to Kansas?
Why, the migratory crowd
Who left the state some months ago
With curses long and loud;
and they swore by the Eternal
That they never would return
To this Kansas land Internal
Where the hot winds blast and burn;
Where the rivers run in riot
When they want it to be dry
VI here the sun so iercely scorches
When they want a cloudy sky.
SO they loaded up the children
And they whistled for the dogs;
Tied a COW behind the wagon,
To the butcher sold the hogs;
Hitched the ponies to the schooner,
Turned her prov toward the east,
Left this beastly state of Kansas
For land of fast and feast.
Did they find it, Naw-they didn't!
Though they roamed the country DER,
From the lakes up in the Northlaud
To the far-off ocean shore;
And they found that other sections
Had their tales of woe to sing;
So they're humpkin' nov for Kansas
At the breakin' forth OF spring.
