RAILROAD PASSES o
Proved the Ruin of This Once Prosper
Gus Kansas Farmer.

Wichita (Kan) Cor. Chicago liter
Ocean: Cs)This is the true story of the
tundoing of a Kansas farmer, and his
particular case has many a duplicate
in the Sunflower state Politics vas
his Nemesis. and his love for a rail-
road pass led him into all the trouble.
John Butternew was a prosperous Ger
ann farmer of the Third district. He
I had fine farm. and it was veil
stocked with blooded cattle and good
horses. He worked hard and prosper
ed He had a pleasant home and some
promising children. The neigh bDrs
pointed him out as happy soul. That
was ten years ago In those days a
tall man, hashily dressed. visited the
town where Butternew lived He wore
diamonds and carried a pocketful OF
annual passes over the big railroads.
The sight of these passes was Butter
news undoing. why should l not
carry passes?" Butternew asked him
self. 81 could travel then and have a
good time for nothing" The polfti-
clan told the plain old farmer it was
easy to be elected to Office. and that
passes would then come from all sides
So Butternew entered the race for
congress and was elected. He forgot
to count the cost in enemies and
money, but he got the passes. Then
he commenced to travel. He neglected
simply because he could ride on the
train free; he paid big hotel bills at
Galveston and St Paul. for the same
reason. and he rode to Topeka twice
week. just to experience the sensa
ton of riding for nothing. Time sped
by. The time for the renewal OF the
passes came around. Butternew liked
the office. even if it was losing thing
financially so he announced himself
as candidate for reelection. He got
the nomination by scratch. His OPP
ponent. wealthy man. spent lots Of
money in the campaign. and Butter
new was forced to mortgage his home
to raise the cash to fight him with.
The race was close, but Butternew was
defeated. and his passes were taken
up. BY this time Butternew had the
train-riding mania. He could not stay
at home. Instead of trying to retrieve
his fallen fortunes he neglected bust
ness. and all the spare money he had
was used in trying to get back in pol
itics. But his power was lost. For
tune was against him. Last week the
sheriff sold his homestead under mort
gage foreclosure. Butternew is a wan
derer, his family is destitute, and he
still clings to political hope

Colony of Crows.

For many years Coldwater has had
a colony of crows varying in number
from 500 to several thousand. The
dusky feathercl tribe assemble in what
is known as Seeley's park, a tract OF
several acres thickly covered with
evergreen and oak trees Of large size.
About sunset each day the crows re-
turn by hundreds and before 'retir-
ing for the night devote about one
hour to a caucus of the situation. After
this all remains quiet in the settlement
until earlythe next morning, when they
take flight probably in search OF food.
What they subsist on during the Win
ter months is a mystery. One feature
regarding the rather singular encamp-
ment is that the colony is rapidly
growing, although no one has been
able to find their nesting places. The
place they have pre-empted is almost
in the heart Of the city No one dis
turbs them, even the small boy respect
ing their claim to the wooded park
