It was during one of those beautiful
Indian summer days IN October tor
which Kansas is noted, reports Kan
sas contemporary, that Daniel Duval,
a well-to-do farmer of Phillips county,
received q kick in the eye from grass
hopper with the result that for some
weeks there was great fear that he
would not recover the sight of the eye.
He is only now getting over it. This
athletic feat on the part Of the insect
does not mean that grasshoppers grow
to such size out in Phillips county that
they can assail the inhabitants while
sitting on the ground. The one to
which Mr.. Duval is indebted for bad
ly inflamed eye was considerably
above the average grasshopper in size,
and was speeding through the air when
the farmers face unluckily crossed it's
path. The result was that it struck the
farmer in the right eye with as much
precision as if shot from gun by an
American naval gunner. The eyeball
was badly lacerated.

employ Of H. H. Mailman, the mer

road career was short and ended In

A Disillusiontzer.

The following item is from the Usage
(Kan.) Free Press: "The other day D.
G. Lake came up to the Free Press Office
and presented picture to us. 1t was
rear view of man walking along
the street. We didn't know him at
all. After a good deal of 'palavering
around Mr.. Lake informed us that it
was a picture of ourself, as his son,
Arthur. had caught us with his kodak
one day last summer. This picture is
a disillusionizer. We had been used
TO front view of that figure; we knew
it when it was young, had grown up
with it, and the changes had come on
so gradually that we hadn't recog-
nized them. Oh, yes! we had noticed
the hair getting gray, but that was
early piety; some wrinkles were gath
ering, but that was deep thinking; our
wind didn't hold out well, but then we
were no Pop, anyhow. But this rear
view, that's something different.
There's no deceiving ourselves into the
belief that that is the picture of spry
young man. There's no youth nor
beauty nor comeliness in that bowed
back, that gray head sticking forward,
those arms hanging out like the un-
buckled names of Clydesdale's har-
ness. We must step forward and greet
the old fellow. Hello. uncle! How's
the old lady?'"

Church Burned.

Sunday afternoon the Norwegian
Lutheran church was discovered to be
on fire, and the Fire Company was
called out but were unable to get a
stream on the fire for some time the
fire in the mean time had gained such
headway that the entire structure was
burned to the ground. The fire origi-
mated from some defect in the chimney
undoubtedly as it seemed to be in the
west end and in the vicinity of the
chimney when discovered. The seats.
the organ, and all the chairs and
furniture was saved. The building
cost So 900 and was insured about
$1,000. The society will undoubtedly
rebuild in the spring. The loss to the
society is a severe one, it is not very
strong, and had but recently finished
paying for the one destroyed. Generous
and liberal minded people should lend
them all the aid they can afford.

Not all the wild and woolly stories
come from the untamed west. Here is
a New York tale that would make
Ananias green with envy. 81 was up
in Broome county for Thanksgiving"
said man who was hiding away his
share of Christmas turkey at hotel,
"and they told me about Tierney's
rooster. Tierney is a farmer of New
Milford, a small village in the county.
He took it into his head to have a
chicken potpie for dinner, SO he went
out and caught rooster, spring
chicken. He chopped its head off and
threw the body down, but instead Of
lying still the body got up and walked
off. 1t did not appear to be in pain.
1t walked around the same as usual,
but of course it could not see. Tierney
fed it, putting corn down its neck.
From the time of its beheading the
rooster gradually recovered, and to-day
is as we'll as any rooster, with the ex-
ception that it is somewhat handi-
capped by having no head. The head
is in bottle OF alcohol, while the
rooster walks about"
