Harve Robinson thought he could
use a header as we'll as anybody. He
didn't do anything but knock the cor
ner out Of a sod building, missed a road
that was three rods wide and cut a
swsth through a corn field adjoining it
and finally wound up at the grain field
after making a trail that a Kentucky
bloodhound couldn't fOllOV:

in his veil Thursday and it took two
pulleys, four men and a 14foot pry to

A fine rain visited this section of the
country Wednesday afternoon and an

Considerable thunder and lightning
accompanied the rain at night.

near losing several head from blOating.
This township viii be a fine field for
cattle buyers to work in this fall, but
they want to have plenty Of money

Care of the Hand.

Soft white hands are always one OF
the principal points of a refined ap-
pearance, and for that reason women
Of all ages have most carefully attend
ed to their hands. The care Of the
hands cannot be said to be neglected
nowadays, when so many persons en-
plOy the manicure, who scrapes the
nails and makes them Of lovely pink,
pushes back the skin from the little
white half-mOons at the base, cuts the
nails in a crescent which exactly fol-
lows the outline Of the half-moOns, and
ends by washing the hands in a prePa-
ration that makes them both smooth
and white, temporarily, If not perma-
nenfly. The hands look extremely
well after the manicure's task has been
finished, although Erasmus Wilson
says that the nails should never be
scraPed nor cleaned with any instru-
ment save the naiIbrush. The only
other implement needed is the small
ivory Presser--Ladies' Home Journal

The Cat Got Out.

Don't let the cat out Of the bag"
aDon't let the cat out Of the poke, +" has
been quietly whispered around among
the ladies Of the Relief Corps for a
week or two. You could notice a nod,
a smile, OF a wink being passed around
among the members. The 18th inst,
but oh, my, the horrible weather!
About : o'clock the clouds began to
thicken and the rain dampen the ardor
Of the interested ones. What viii we
do; I've cooked these chickens. Those
pies viii spoil" A few of the bravest
thought the cat would smother, so we
must 60, they exclaimed. The weather
viii keep the bread moist, anyway, so
hastily DOMINIC a rainy-day toilet they
started out to surprise Mrs. HOgebOom.
There, the cats out Of the poke! While
the company was not so large, they
had a splendid time, and did ample
justice to the elegant dinner which the
good ladies of the Relief Corps know
how to prepare. May they enjoy many
such happy times is the wish Of an
Eye Witness.

THE HARP OF SONG.

All day, all day IN a calm Ike death

At the suns bold kiss the sea wind cane

EYE PHILOSOPHY.

Blue eyes are said to be the weakest.
Upturned eyes are typical of devO-
ticn.
Wide open eyes are indicative Of
.rashness.
Safeguarding eyes are always to be
distrusted.
Brown eyes are said by oculists to be
the strongest.
Small eyes are commonly supposed
TO indicate cunning.
The downcast eye has in all ages
been typical of modesty.
The proper distance between the eyes
is the width Of one eye.
People Of melancholic temperament
rarely have clear blue eyes.
The white of the eye showing beneath
the iris is indicative of nobility Of
character.
Gray eyes turning green in anger or
excitement are indicative Of a choleric
temperament.
An eye the upper I'D of which passes
horizontally across the pupil indicates
mental ability.
When the upper lid covers half or
more Of the p1piI the indication is Of
cool elaboration.
Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from
side to side, are frequently indicative
Of an unsettled mind.
Il is said that the prevailing cOlOrs
Of eyes among patients Of IUnatic asy-
lums are brown and black.
Eyes Of any color with weak brows
and long, cOncave lashes, are indicative
Of a weak constitution.
Eyes that are wide apart are said by
physiOgOmists to indicate great intel
Iigence and a tenacious memory.
Eyes Of which the whole Of the iris is
visible belong to erratic persons, often
with a tendency toward insanity.
Wide open, staring eyes in weak
couutenances indicate jealousy, bigo-
try, intolerance and pertinacity with
'out firmness.
Eyes placed close together in the
head are said to indicate pettiness of
disposition, jealousy and a turn for
fault finding.
When the under arch Of the upper
eyelid is a perfect semicircle it is indi-
cative Of goodness, but also Of timidity,
sometimes approaching cOwardice.
All men Of genius are said to have
eyes clear, slow moving and bright.
This is the eye which indicates mental
ability of some kind, it does not matter
what.
Blue eyes are generally considered
efeminate, but this is q mistake, for
blue eyes are found only among eau
casian nations, and the white races
rule the wOrld.-PearsOn's Weekly.

packing house at Topeka to find that
he was burying all the blood he had.
There is no food, except warm milk,
that will so stimulate the development
of hogs, as that blood. We have other
foods, too. For the past two years as
the college We have been pushing thit
line of work. For the past year We
have been working with alfalfa, and We
find tn at in dairy lines, in stock lines,
and all lines that is one Of the greatest
materials we have for use with the bal
anced ration.
It may be of interest to know that
We are going to take up another line of
work with the balanced ration. The
highest priced bacon in the world to-
day is the Danish bacon. This Danish
bacon is simply barley and skim-milk.
Now In the eastern section Of Kansas
you can not raise barley. But In the
western section where they can not
raise corn, barley is almost a sure crop.
They have their cresmeries. Now, if
they will learn to put these two things
together it makes the western section
Of Kansas the fancy bacon region Of
the world. The Kansas experiment
station expects to start within a month
to feed 80 head Of hogs and try that,
and I ask the cooperation of all farm
ers Of Kansas to help Us.

Mr.. Lamphier, it seems, takes the
LaBIanche items over for Gus Carter
to expostulate on regarding the kick

is held, but who knows, and who cares?
There seems to be something lacking
where We have been congregating for

School notices are posted calling for
a school meeting in the school house
at this place July q. We learn some
Of the patrons u Of the district say the
meeting will have to be held on the old

The year 1899 has certainly been a
grand strike for Office seekers. Thous-

the civil service, officers for ten new

many bowling for Office as before.
