The Princes. Of Vale, Doves.

One Of the most frequented spots at
Sandringham is the dovehouse. Here IN
a commodious cage are kept nearly .
dozen beautiful white doves, Of which
the princess Of Wales is very fond.
Whether these pretty birds are preen-
ing their feathers on their little tree or
are nesting in the boxes provided for
them, all are ready TO welcome their
royal mistress when she pays visit.
Some are special pets and perch on her
shoulders or hover around her for food
In the prettiest way. The glass-roofed
house was originally intended for mon
keys, but these, not proving pleasant
pets, were turned out and doves were
installed in their stead.-N. Y. Sun.

MILLS TO ORGANIZE.
Secretary Smiley Visits Wellington In Inter-

E.J. Smiley, secretary OF the Kan
sas Millers' association, was 10 Wei
lingtOn Thursday on business cOnnec-
ted with the boycott against The
Minnesota millers who have been
denying that they use Kansas wheat
10 the manufacture Of their products.
Mr.. Smiley is one of the cUDmlttee
named at the meeting of the Kansas
Millers' association in Topeka few
days ago to call on all the Uillers in
the state, and work up sentiment
against the millers OF the northwest
who have been defamiDg Kansas hard

We have been unable to learn just
what was accomplished by Mr.. Smiley
here Thursday, but it is understood
that he has enlisted the mills Of Wei
lingtOn in the cause against the
Minnesota mills. Mr.. Smiley went
from here to Wichita, and will proba-
bly, return to Wellington in the near
future, at which time sGme definite
action will be decided upon. All Of
the mills in Kansas will undoubtedly
band together on the fight against the
northwestern mills, and will do their
utmost to advertise the fact to the
world that Kansas hard wheat is Just
as good, il not better, than any other
wheat In the world.

Deer Destroying Watermeloux

A remarkable complaint has been
filed with the territorial game warden.
For two years the shooting of deer has
been absolutely prohibited in the terri
tory, and the animals have become very
plentiful. Farmers living near Carney,
who are raising watermelons, COM
plain that herds of the deer come every
night to their patches and eat all the
ripe melons. They are forbidden to
shoot or capture them, and demand
from the game wardens protection for
their crops.-Guthrie (0kla.) Cor. St.

A QUEER RAILROAD.
Nantucket Has One Eight Miles Long
and But One Person Carries
Pass.

"A rather curious and very econom-
lcally managed railroad is the Nam
tueket Central, which runs between
Nantucket and Siasconset, a distance
Of about eight miles, remarked an old
resident of Martha's Vineyard to a
Washington Star writer recently. "a
round-trip ticket on this road costs so
cents for the passenger and so cents
for his trunk. A second trunk is ear
ried for 30 cents and a third for 20 cents,
but as the schedule allows for only
three trunks the conductor has on sew
eral occasions ruled that at the fourth
trunk he must begin over again at 50
cents.
Only one pass is issued on the Nam
tucket Central, and that is used by the
proprietor of the road. The conductor
Is the general manager Of the road,
train dispatcher and division superin.
tendent, The engineer is master me-
ehanic, chief of transportation and
overseer of the road bed and track. The
fireman drives the express wagon and
keeps the books between trips. Last
year some $50 round trips were made,
and a novelty introduced during the
summer season was the entire aboli-
tion Of the steam whistle, partly be-
cause of its waste of steam and partly
because it frightened the blue and
other fish off shore.
The rolling stock Of the road con-
sists of two locomotives and six or
seven antiquated passenger cars. The
earnings of the Central last year
amounted to about $4,000 and the op-
Grating expenses were a little over
$1,000"
