MRS. DEwRy,s POKER FLATS.
Strange story About Property of the
AdIairais consort MT wichita,
Kansas,


The recent visit of Mrs. Dewey TO
this city recalls a queer story about
some western real estate she owns
at Wichita, Kan, and the way In
which she came by them, says the
Chicago Chronicle. When Gen. Hazen,
Aer first husband, was stationed In
the west he used to be fairly good
poker player, and they said his luck
was something which one would rath-
er dodge than meet. At the time he
was in Wichita the town was full OF
real estate boomers, spectators and
other people who had land--not exact
ly to burn, but to sell as quickly as
possible One night there was game
among Ave players, their names being
Harry Hill, Dave Payne, Dave Ban
croft and Capt. Crouch, besides Gen.
Hazen. They played cash at first,
because the general was canny and
wise gentleman and did not wish to
stake money against the more or less
fictitious value Of town lots. But as
the game went on Gen. Hazen secured
about all the cash there was In sight,
and then they began to put up town
lots. At the end of the game Gen.
Hazen had so nice, large, realistic
town lots, and when he died he be-
queathed them to his wife. 1t hap
pens that all the participants in that
game except one are known to be
dead, and It is not certain that the
other one 10 living. The bottom
dropped out OF the Wichita boom.
property values decreased and for a
long time no attention was paid to
this piece of property. The value of
land there, however, Is now going up
and If Mrs. Dewey has no trouble In
establishing her title she will have
d nice little fortune.

Anta Hetter Than BulIets.

One Of the incidents of the war In
South Africa did not appear in the
general dispatches. A volunteer regi-

after spreading out in skirmish line,
the order was given to lie down. One
unfortunate soldier Topped squarely
into an ant-hill. Thousands Of the lit
tie pests swarmed angrily over him,
biting with peculiar penetration. In
second the soldier jumped up, wild
with pain. "Lie down there, you
fool!" shouted the captain. II can't" Z"
protested the poor fellow. "I'd sooner
be shot than. Just then a shower
OF Mauser bullets few past him at all
heights, from his shins 10 his head.
II was marvellous that the standing
soldier was not hit In dozen places.
But he changed his mind swiftly about
the possibility OF lying down. He
dropped at once, regardless Of ants,
shouting to his commanders "Yes,

A House Upside Down.

"The strangest thing in the Paris
Exposition Midway is the Upside
down House," said a guest in one of
the hotels, who has just returned from
a visit to the other side of the pond.
Nobody but Frenchman would ever
have thought of such thing 1t is> a
big, old-fashioned, three-story manor
house. apparently resting on its ga
bles, with the foundation eighty feet
in the air. One goes in through a
dormer window in the attic and finds
everything upside down. Underfoot
are what appear to be the ceilings,
spouting chandeliers like giant toad
stools, and overhead are chairs and ta-
bles and all ether ordinary furniture
of house, miraculously clnging to
the reversed floors. There are even
books and small articles scattered
about on the carpets and sticking to
them as if by magic, and on some OF
the tables lamps are burning, tops
down.
Everything about the place con-
tributes to one of the most bewldering
illusions imaginable, but the really
amazing feature of the house is the
view through the windows. They
comand considerable expanse of the
exposition grounds, and. incredible as
it may seem, everything is upside
down. One sees all the familiar build
ings standing on their heads, throngs
of reversed people walking to and fro,
and the sky yawning where the earth
ought to be. The effect is indescribab-
ly startling. puzzled over thise win
dows for long time, but finally dis
covered their secret The illusion is
produced by means of two mirrors,

Star Distances.

The stars are suns and they look
like mere shining points OF light be-
cause they are so far away The near

OF Eden, and flying continually with
undlminished speed. would even now
hardly have started on its journey. 1t
would be as il train bound for an
other town had just pulled we'll out of
the station.
On a summer evening you may see
Arcturus high up in the south or
southwest in June or July, and further
down In the west in August or Septem-
ber You will know it by its red color.
That star has been flying strdight
ahead ever since astronomers began to
observe 1t, at such a speed that 1t
would run from New York to Chicago
in "a small fraction Of minute. You
would have to be spry to rise from
your chair, put on your hat and over
coat and gloves, go out on the street
while 1t was crossing the Atlantic
ocean from New York to Liverpool.
And yet If you should watch that star
all your life, and live as long as Me-
thuselah, you would not be able to see
that it moved at all. The journey it
would make in a thousand years would
be as nothing alongside its distance.
Many, perhaps most of the stars are
really much, larger and brighter than
the sun. Canopus, as it appears to us,
is the second brightest star in the
heavens. 1t never rises in our north
ern latitudes; to see it you would have
to go at least as far south as the Gulf
states. Although it shines to us only
as a very bright star, it is really thouss
ands OF times as bright as the sun.
If our earth should be as near to it as
1t is to the sun the whole sky would
seem to be ablaze; and everything
combustible on the earth's surface
forests, houses and fences-would be
burned by the fervent heat as il
thrown into a hot fire, But the dis
tance of of Canopus is immeasurably
great, so that astronomers have not
been able to learn anything certain
about it. The most interesting con-
clusion from this is that Canopus, al
though it is only star in the sky, is
really thousands of times brighter
than the sun.-Professor Simon New
comb in The Youths Companion.

Points Of a Good Dairy Cow.

At the last national creamerymen' s
convention, Prof. T. l.. Hacker, of
Minnesota, explained the principles in
volved in the selection of the dairy
COW by the use of living models. He
did not care whether the udder went
well back or not, on well forward or
not, or whether it was large or small.
He looks first at the body or barrel, to
see If that is large and deep, as this is
the measure of the cows ability to di-
gest and assimilate food. Next he
looks at the thigh, to see what dispo-
sitlon she makes of the food, beyond
the amount necessary for support The
more the rear line of the thigh curves
in. the cheaper will the COW produce
each pound of butter. If she has a
large barrel, he knows there is O COM
munication from the throat to the
barrel,s that the food will go there and
something will be done with the food
nutrients. If the COW is fleshy and
blocky, she puts these nutrients away
as tallow in her tissues. If she is
spare, angular, ewe-necked and cat
manned, he knows she turns the nut
riment into milk solids and puts them
In the udder.
If the udder is large, she puts large
quantities of water in 1T with the fat
and other solids. If the udder is small
she puts the fats and other solids in
the udder, because there is no other
place to put them, and puts less water
in the milk. This is startling asser-
tion, but Prof. Hacker asserted that
for six years every pound of food CIV
en- to each COW has been weighed and
every pound of milk and butter fat
produced from the food has been
weighed and recorded, and the facts
without single exception, are as stat
ed. Prominent milk veins, dished
face, yellow ears inside, slim tail, full
square udder, etc., he declares are
points of no value. The only thing to
know is that the COW has spare, deep
frame and small, thin quarters
