The arst thing to b considered 10 how
to put up the wool 10 ~ the give the
buyer good impression when he nrst
looks at it. There are number Of vays
of tying the fisec~. Some prefer using
a box into which the fleece 10 psesssd
and tightly tisi 10 that when it 10 taken
out it retains the shape Of the box. says
a writer in the Montana S.ockman. The
fleece that is most attractive and se~ns
to get ths most comments II approval
from buyers in general 10 the one that
is simply folded in ~ loosly n possible
and have it hold its shape. using - little
tvine as will accomplish the object.
Where this is well dous. light. bulky
looking fleece 10 made which in the
market is more appreciated Than the
more symstrical fisece that co0es from
the box. criticism on the latter l'oing
that pressing it SO tightly gives IT .
soggy and heavy appearance that r,pels
a buyer. The twine used should be the
regular wool twine. and under ID cir-
cumstances should sissl twipe - sssd.
BY sisai twine mean such as - con-
monty known as hide rope, and some
kinds Of binding twine made from Il
s'sal fiber. The reason why it should
not be used 10 that its fibeTs sintermingle
with the wool and cannot he got ~ in
process OF man ufacture. and have to bs
picked out OF the goods in the shape OF
specks.
Now as to the condition Of the fleece
before it is tied. 1t should be 6se from
all tags and heavy skirt locks. and -
possible Of all seeds, chat or straw. ss

very hard to get out Of wool. and where

BEGINS TO TAKE A TUMBLE.
House Looks Back on Three Empty
Weeks and Refuses to Adjourn.

The house has at length expressed it.
self in favor of getting to business. after
three weeks spent in organizing and
getting ready" The question came
up just before o'clock last evening
over a motion to fix the time in which to
adjourn.
According to the rules, the house
should meet at 9 o'clock each morning
now, but as there are generally a lot
of committee meetings each morning,
the hour of meeting is generally made
10 o'clock. When the usual motion was
made yesterday afternoon Mason of
Ffnney moved as an amendment that
an adjournment be taken till o'clock
on Monday afternoon in order to give
the members an opportunity to visit the
state industrial schools for girls at Be
lott and the State Agricultural college.
The senate, he said, had adjourned to
give some of it's members chance to
go on this trip and he thought the house
ought to do likewise, as members of the
house wanted to see for themselves just
what these institutions need.
This brought Brooke to his feet. "It's
time this house was getting to work, -
he said. 1.-The people sent US here to
do some work, and not to run around
over the state on junketing trips. If
we adjourn till Monday it means a lot
more time wasted. Here we have been
adjourning each Friday so far and miss
ing nearly two whole days in each week,
and it is time we stopped it. L am in
favor of working Saturdays, and nights,
too, if necessary.
There are a good many members
who have bills to prepare and commit
tee work to attend to- responded Mr..
Mason, land if we adjourn it will give
those who have such work to do
chance to do it. I don't think there is
any call to speak of an investigation of
the states charitable institutions as
'junketing trip"
This legislature is costing the state
of Kansas a thousand dollars a day or
SOL said Dawes of Leavenworth. eff
we adjourn every member of this house
will either go off on this trip or take the
first train for home, and all committee
work and everything else will be
stopped till next Monday afternoon. If
we are going to do any work it is time
we were getting at it. The senate was
already organized when the session be-
gan, and their work is far ahead of
ours"
The motion to adjourn till Monday
was overwhelmingly defeated.

Peoples Christian Temperance union
which has just formulated and sent out
a plan for lifting the entire debt from
the Women's Temple and making it a
memorial to Miss Frances E. Willard is
bending all it's energies to making a
great demonstration at the temple on
Feb. II, the first anniversary of Miss
Wizards heavenly birthday"
It's plan, which is to divide the $780,
900 necessary to free the building from
debt, into $4,000 shares of SO each, is
meeting with hearty endorsement and
cooperation. 1t is expected that the
thousands of dollars will be pledged
before the 18th, although so short a
time intervenes between now and then
but in any case the work will be pushed
with vigor and the young people are as
sured the entire sum will be pledged
before the close of 1899. An earnest ap-
peal was issued today that all lovers of
Frances Willard and the temperance
cause send their pledges to Miss Eva
M. Shontz, president, 1119, the Temple,
on or before February II. The appeal
concludes as follows:
"All pledges are conditional. Not one
penny is to be paid until the entire sum
is subscribed and not one penny of the
amount subscribed will be used for ex
