More About Mr.. Green.
James L. Green, the Kansas boy
mentioned as having been killed in
duel in Havana, lived in Labette coun-
ty. His experience as Cuban soldier
has been varied and several times he
has been reported killed. His sister,
Mrs. j. S. Smith, who resides at Che
topa, does not credit the story that he
is dead, having received letter from
him only few days ago dated ut Man
tanzas. The fact that Mr.. Green has
n wife and child living near Oswego
and that he has never secured divorce
may throw some light on the subject.
PopuIists Indorse Striking Miners.
The executive committee of the popn-
list state committee, ut meeting held
in Topeka, issued manifesto declaring
sympathy with the striking miners;
condemning the federal court for en-
Joining miners from doing violence to
persons or property; denouncing Gov.
Stanley for permitting the importation
of negro miners from the south, and
calling upon the populists Of Kansas to
lend the strikers financial aid in their
fight against the coal mine operators.

she tried ter buy pink tea at all the
stores, but she couldn't find any. so she
went an colored some ordinary tea
with cochineal, an hit took the doctor
two days ter bring 'em all around"
''But about this yere party yester-
day" put in the storekeeper.
"Wul, hit seems Lit wuz ter be dHe-
tation party. The wilder sent out in
vites an on 'em she said tibet every
body must bring quotation.

nobody knew what a quotation wdz-
Wul, when they wuz all thar an the
wilder asked for the quotations. TX
Cans wife said ez how she wuz sorry
but tibet she had ct her last quotation
ies' before She got the invite. an Bob
Piggans' wife said tibet she didn't
bring any cause she didn't know,
whether the widder wanted them billed
or fried.
''Wul, when the wilder called upon
the schoolmarm she got up an said:
The Lord loves cheerful giver.'
"Wul, the rest of them thought tibet
she wuz castin' reflections on them. an

has taught them that as rule domestic
troubles should be avoided. Women
flood the society with complaints
against their hush lands, but 90 times out
of 100. if an arrest is made, relent, pay
the fine out of their own hard earnings
and go home with the forgiven.
When word is received that horse is
nlaimed or suffering from any cause
the ambulance is brought into use. The
society has never yet had enough
money to own its own horses. and when
an animal is to be removed the owner
or responsible person is called upon to
supply this deficiency if he can. Other
wise the horses are furnished by the
city. The only cost attached to taking
horse to it's stable is a small fee for
the services of the driver of the ambu
lance. There are two of these ambu-
lances. One was given to the society
IL years ago by Ferd w. Peck. The
other. which is modern and finely
equipped, was purchased by the So
ciety about year ago. When horse
reaches the stable the services of a
veterinary surgeon are employed and
remedies are applied unless the case is
hopeless. In the latter event the ami
| NAL is shot.
Frowzy dogs and bedraggled cats are
received with open arms. The office al
$50 Wabash avenue is veritabie hos
| pital for the canine with brass collar
| and long pedigree; 1.-The mongrel. pup
Ply. whelp and hound, and cur of low
degree;" the Angora feline with her
| certificate of noble ancestry. and the
all-around backyard prowier without
| friends or ia mily. All are welcome, and
without distinction of race. sex, or
previous conditions of servitude. 1t is
| case of first come first served. The
| couch of ''Limpy-Lame-Dog." the
tramp as as. soft as the bed of "Fido.
the pampered pet. So with PUSSY"
| aud the rest of them.
There is sometimes a ludicrous side
that peeps through the sombreness of
| the work of caring for these poor dis
| ubled creatures. Just the other day
a woman appeared with a little weaz-
enrd pug in her arms
"It is best that he should die" said
she, mournfully. But. oh. I cannot
have him shot! Give him these pills
aad let him calmly sleep his little life
away. Oh. promise me you'll do thisi"
| Then there is another woman whose
sole aim in life seems to be to chase up
tdccrepit and enfeebied cats. She scours
the highways and the byways and her
efforts are crowned with-most remark
able success. Scarcely day passes that
she does not send to the room OF the
society a choice collection of cats in
a. stages of mental and physical dis
torder. These cats, she writes. must be
killed, but her instructions are explicit
II the effect that they must not be shot.
The only death tina. she will allow is
the use OF chloroform. The officers are
silent. but her Instructions or course,
Isannot be obeyed.
