DRTG STORE IOKES.

About every profession and every line
OF commercial business has its peculiar
standard trick or technical method OF
breaking in nOvitiate. The drug store
trade has a few choice lines of initiatory
training which. worked on the neophyte,
make him wish he had learned the black
smiths trade or that of coal HEAVIER
rather than the dressed-up profession Of
pharmacist For instance, one day last
week a bright boy energetic and wiling
10 work, commenced his life career as an
expert pill artist and cough-drop purveyor.
After running his legs off delivering pack
ages and catering TO the postage stamp
trade, he was set to work by the head
clerk with a pestle and mortar. He had
not the remotest idea what was in that
stone bowl, but il was a dark chunk of
something. which he was directed 10 grind
into a pulp. He worked faithfully until
noon, went to dinner and was still pound
ing away at night, with both hands bis
tered at the palms, when the proprietor
happened around behind the prescription
case and inquired what In the world he
was trying to do. and so long at it, He
took a gaze into the treadmill at which
the verdant youth had worn out most OF
his young life and found simple, harm
less chunk Of India rubber. The boy was
told to so outside and sit down
sassafras barrel and watch the people
passing by. Another boy was told 70 hurry
up an order of powdered cork. and for two
hours pounded patiently. but too well, on
a handful Of bottle corks. Powdered cam
phor is another fake perpetrated upon the
unsophisticated, which was recently called
down by the intended victim. who hap
pened to have some knowledge both of
chemical affinity and the tricks of the
trade. When told by the imperious head
clerk 10 powder a chunk of camphor he al
once started to work, but first sprinkled
alcohol on it and it was soon reduced to a
pulp. whereas had he tackled it dry he
would have been at it TO the very yet.

WOMEN AND HATS.

crowd of women stood in the Boston
Store Friday at the millinery opening dis
cussing the new style hats. In one corner
were nine, three old ladies and six young
girls. One of the old ladies had nothing to
say, but none Of the styles suited the 9TH
ct two. They found fault with all OF the
hats insome way. The young girls liked
all the new styles. The newer style the
better they liked it. An explanation was
asked Of middle-aged woman prominent
in literary and social circles in Wichita.
She said that when woman's judgment
Of q hat or dress depends upon her age.
Some women said the authority, never
look good in anything after they are forty,
and then nothing suits them. You can
tell what a woman thinks Of styles by
looking at her. Young girls like all new
styles"

Eagle representative went to Pickens and
told him what the sheriff had said, and
Pickens said he would not talk then. but

SHOULD HAVE ONE.

Wichita is tagging behind on the con-
vention hal scheme. which originated in
Kansas City and has been taken up all
over the country. The plan IS to offer a
long list Of prizes. big sums of money, fine
horses. books. chairs. beds. groceries-
everything. Then everybody buys a
ticket and IS entitled 20 a number. There
Is a drawing and great excitement. Hutch
inson IS working the same plan. So is
Enid, Q. T, and other points. Wichita
ought 10 get one up which would eclipse
al the others. 1t ought 10 take the pro
ceeds and buy and build a suitable fair
grounds. near town. on good solid earth.
with proper sheds and halls and appUr-
teQances. The convention hall pan is one
that creates widespread interest It helps
build up the town and advertise it and
IFS merchants. On this matter Wichita
should wake up.

ALWAYS TIE FTTTRE.

Few people understand the true inward
ness OF politics. In fighting one campaign
the political leaders nine times out of ten
are fighting three or four in the future.
In the midst Of the present campaign,
wires are being stretched for next fall.
men are being selected and agreed upon
to make the fights pro and con. During
the campaign last fall the present city
campaign perpetually intruded. All poll
tics is more or less a gamble on the future.

FLOWING Up WHEAT.

Frank Nighswonger made a drive Thurs
day and Friday all over southwest Sedg-
wick county looking at the wheat. He
has SeYenty-five acres on his place near
Clearwater which he says he is going to
have plowed up and put in corn. He says
half the acreage OF that section will be
done the same way, but he also thinks
that it Will be of more advantage to far
mers than if they should raise big wheat
crop.

OUR BUSINESS IN EGGS.

ABOUT SPINAL MENINGITIS
No cases OF spinal meningitis have yet
appeared in wichita But locally people
are fearing headaches. Spotted fever and
cereoro-spinai meningitis are practically
the same, though the spots are noticeable
generally only when the disease fastsns on
children A severe headache Is usually the
mrs. symptom. and especially In children,
should this be observed. Tao headache
may continue for a day and then appar-
entity cease. On the second dsy violsr,
sickness appears and the pSuent vornits
frequently. When this ceases the head
ache returns and Il is more severe than
ever. A high fever accompanies the arst
headache. II disappears and with she SEC

HE COULD DO IT.

other day. says that ne will not have TO

Guthrie Huse had published certain
stories about Doodle. The grand jury had
him before them and demanded 10 know
where he got his stories. He refused 10
say, and the grand jury threatened 10 send
him TO jail. Later they concluded not 70

to conceal his source OF news.

Few people can successfully count shots
when they are fired rapidly. When Mr..
Burns was held up on North Topeka ave-
nue. recently there were a score Of stories
about how many shots were fired Some
said ten. some fourteen. and none said less
than seven. Foster Toler. who was sitting
near. took pains to count them. There
were Just five.

CAVE THE NAMES

One Of the funny features Of the regis
tration this year was the number of peo-
pie who thought that registering was vot-
ing, or that it was necessary to give the
names of men they wished to vote for in
order to register. Ross" some Of them
would say. or Tap" There are on the
city clerk books now probably thou
sand names of people who never registered
before in Wichita or any other place.

He WAS INTERESTED

The other day there was a big runaway
in Wichita. and it looked ike several peo-
pie had been hurt. One OF the men rushed
out Of his store and after learning, 40 his
relief, that there were no fatalities he
went back in mis- store, where friend
who had just glanced up at the runaway
as it went by asked:
WAS il a mare or a horse?"
What on earth makes you ask that?''
said the man.
well, I've observed that mares run off
oftener than horses"

CLAY AND ANIMATE.

The mind is thing of witchery. a
change in mind changes every muscle,
every capability, every requirement This
was remarkably illustrated the other day
In the case of q great crowd of marksmen.
They had been shooting clay pigeons
These mock birds as they hurtled through
the air were brought down with surprising
accuracy. There were men in the crowd
who could shatter twenty-four out Of
twenty-five sprung. Their mind and eye
and hand understood the flight Of these
cay creations. When everybody mad got
into fine practice it happened that a couple
OF real live wild ducks fow over in sight
Of the whole crowd. There was deafen-
ing fusilade and the shot went lie rail
at the two wandering ducks. But neither
turned feather and bo-h disaupe1-od.
The marksmen turned TO one another ard
smiled. \ few minutes later the same
ducks, confused. came back overhead
again, and in plain view. Again the guns
Of the marksmen rang out, bur the ducks
were not touched. The appearance Of these
animate objects did not change the Cua-
ming Of the marksmen, but it .'rac,.eI'
them mentally and they all missed.
