DYcHE LIKELY TO WIN.
There Seems to Be a Prospect That
Kansas University Will Get


Kansas University Will Get
Its Museum.
TOPEKA, Feb. 27.-(special) Professor
L. L. Dyche is to have a museum AT. the
state university If the house concurs in
the probable action Of the senate. The
senate ways and means committee to-day
recommended an appropriation of $4,000 for
this purpose.
Professor Dyche spent several days In
Topeka lobbying for this appropriation.
Previously the committee had decided that
a new chemistry building should be about
the size of its gifts to the "U." this year.
and Dyche. according to reports. was given
to understand that he must quiet the lob.
bying business or forfeit his professorship.
On reconsideration. however, the commit.
tee decided that the state could afford both
chemistry building and a museum.
Professor Dyche has one of the finest nat.
ural history collections in the country. II
was the most interesting exhibit in the
Kansas building at the worlds fair and
was one OF the most attractive exhibits on
the grounds.

Mic. OF All CoIor..

The National Mouse Club of England
recently held an exhibition where sew
eral hundred mice competed for gold
medals, champion cups and various 9th
er prizes. These little creatures are not
the ordinary everyday mice which scare
the cook and drive the mistress of the
house to take refuge on chair. They
are we'll bred mice that expected to be
petted and caressed and treated as ten
derby as pet cat or dog.
By careful breeding they have de-
veloped great variety in coloring and
sometimes in shape. One very choice
style of animal, called the spiny mouse,
has row of bristling hair for spinal
ornament and is a very cute miniature
reproduction of porcupine. The IA
miliar white mice so often seen for sale
on the streets here have been bred with
black eyes instead Of red ones. 1t has
taken several years to produce these re-
suits, but the society now claims to be
able to furnish mice in IL or - differ
emit shades. To any one who is able &c
overcome the fear of mice they are
dainty, delicate little studies at any
time. but when they play around il
suits of chocolate, sable, fawn, je
black. tortoise or golden agouti they be
come perfectly fascinating.
AS in the case OF all fads Of this kind
the prices brought by these little pet
are extremely steep. Fifteen dollars o
SEQ is not large price to pay for
we'll bred mouse, aud some Of then
have been sold for as high as $50.

A Lost Opportunity.

1t was near one of the large railroad
stations. A man rather advanced in
years, whose old fashioned attire and
open mouthed wonderment proclaimed
that he was visitor from the rural dis
tricts and not accustomed to the every
day sights of large city, was suddenly
accosted by sharp visaged youth WITH
Mister, yer dropped yer wallick. :" As
he spoke he held forth large wallet
well stuffed with old revenue stamps
covered with couple of dollar bills.
Uncle Rube looked at the greenbacks
Bullying out of the wallet with equally
protruding ayes, hesitated just one mo-
ment, and then, his cupidity evidently
getting the better of him, reached for
it. Hold on give us tenner furst,
exclaimed the possessor of the wallet
The old man quickly put his hand in
his trousers pocket; but, after a mo-
ment, drawing forth his empty hand,
he drawled out, Take it out o. the
wallet
The youth closing the wallet with
i'll concealed disgust, turned on his heel
and hurried off The stranger in town
looked after the youth a moment, and
then, muttering, "Gol dern Missed it
ag i'm | told Sal I'd need more'n So, y
lie resumed his peaceful way. '-Phlla-

The Country Clergyman.

An old clergyman who had held q
cure in the depths of the country Tor
the greater part of his life had occasion
to consult his bishop on certain mat
ter, and, in answer to his letter, re
ceived an invitation to sleep the night
at the palace. For 40 or 80 years he had
practically led the life Of a recluse, and
it was after many coSitations that he
decided to take the journey to the other
end of the diocese, where the bishop
lived He arrived just in time for 3
o'clock tea, meal to which he was
complete stranger.
After tea the bishop asked him to &C.
company him to eyensong. When they
returned to the house, the bishop, re-
marking that it was quite time they
went up stairs, lit Il candle and showed
his guest to his room. 1t was then just
O'Clock, and, though the old clergy
man thought it was rather early to re-
tire, still, admiring the bishop for such
simple habits, he prepared for bed. He
had just put out the light and lain
down to sleep, wishing he had drunk a
little more tea, when booming noise
rang through the house and smote upon
his ear.
Quick as thought he sprang from his
bed and, shouting Fire p at the top Of
his voice, rushed out on to the landing

lady on his arm, going down to dinner.
