WICHITA BOYS NAME
Pun Is Made ON Ii That Makes All
England Laugh.

While England is at var in two cont
nents it is having its fun at home The
fun in the empire at the presen, time is
over = pun sprung by Sir Maurice Fltz-
gerald. The pun is going the rounds Of
the English press and is made on the
name Of a Wichita boy. As a general
rule English puns are vapid, but his one
has some merit in it. probably because
Sir Maurice is an Irishman instead of
an Enghshman. The date OF the pun is
not given. but in all probability it was
sprung some time last year. for her ma

STORING 1000 TONS OF HAY
Western Grain and Storage Company
Prenarincc q Meet Demand


The Western Grain and Storage COM
pany of this city has secured the old
Stewart Iron Works building for their
use and will store a thousand tons of
Kansas hay in the building for future
use in their business. In addition to this
amount Of hay. the company viii store
more hay If it is found possible to gct
suitable storage quarters.
The hay which is being placed in the
iron works building at the present time
is being bought in this and Butler coun-
ties. 1t is being shipped to this city in
lots Of several cars at time. The quail
ity Of the hay is much better than at
other years and will readily find a mar
ket in the east.
The demand for Kansas hay in eastern
states has made such a move profitable
and it is estimated that the prize OF kay
will be much in advance in a few months
to what it is at the present tire Just
now there is only moderate demand in
the east for hay and this is acc 5unted
for by the supply being adequate f7r .he
present demand. Later on the people who
use hay in large quantities will be forced
to send TO some other place for II.
The hay which is being stored at the
present time is all baled and is ready 20
be taken from the storage bI1d;ag ard
placed on the cars for shipment. The
storage company have thei rown men in
the fields and each bale that goes into
their building is closely tnspe rel n
order that nothing but the nr;t quality
will be secured.

a GREWSOME CARD GAME.
Soldiers Play Seven Up on Body OF
Dead Comrade.

4 have seen gambling in nearly ali
its FORMS" said ex-Sheriff Hugh Buck
ley of Cleveland, but I think the most
unique performance l ever witnessed
along that line was a game of seven
up during the civil war. l was
member of an Ohio regiment that had
a part in some of the fiercest fighting
of the whole four years struggle.
Among my comrades were three
privates who were devoutedly at
tached to one another. They were
the Aramis. Porthos and Athos of the
regiment, with D'Artagnan left out
During the days in camp they were in
separable, and they spent most Of the
time playing seven-up.
THE trio made a compact. which
was sworn to over a drumhead, that
if one of them was killed in battle the
remaining two would play one game
of seven-up on his dead body. OF
course, the agreement was made with
all the daredevil carelessness of the
soldier, but it was as binding as if it
had been an oathbound pledge or a
liiO4 = oC1 1Ouo ouOJSNC' IL Neio hho IL
throughout the regiment that the
contract had been made, and it was
the subject Of more or less comment.
But the time came when they were
called upon to perform the agreement.
1t was at the bloody battle of Stone
River that one of the triumvirate died
with bullet through his heart. Then
came the opportunity to see the true
mettle of the soldier of that day. The
other two carried the body of their
dead comrade off the field when the
fighting was over. and laid it in their
tent. I was there when they came in.
They looked at the lifeless form for a
long, long time. and at the same NOM
ent each looked at the other.
"'Get the cards, Jack said one.
''The pack was produced. the cards
were shuffied and dealt. The faded
blue coat of their comrade, with the
bullethole through the chest. was the
table on which they played. The
tears rolled down their cheeks so that
they could hardly see the spots, and
the sobe stifled their voices until they
could not say whether they begged or
gave They played the game out,
but l don't believe either knew which
had won.

Two Prisoners Novel Escape.

Two desperate convicts at the Tenn
essee penitentiary made a daring and
novel escape from that institution by
sliding down two telephone wires from
the top of a three-stoTy building to a
point outside of the high stone walls.
Both worked in the harness depart
ment, and after roll call managed to
return to the building and gain the
roof. They had provided themselves
with two big pulleys and wadding
used in the manufacture Of brides.
The convicts mounted two slender tel
ephone wires, bicycle fashion, and on
this took their coast to freedom, the
men passing fifteen feet over the WALL
The rattle of the wire attracted atten-
ton of the other convicts, but none of
the guards, and it was some time be-
fore the escape was discovered
The alarm was finally given and
blood hounds put on their trail The
ground was soft and mushy after a
days rain and the dogs carried the
trail easily. They were oyertaken
about five miles from the penitentiary
and overpowered and captured. Both
are burglars, serving twenty years ON
ten cases.

Chose the Sunset.

An excellent piece of advice, which
may be applied in many cases, was
once given by William Hunt, the
artist, to an unWise pupil. The young
man was making a sketch of a land.
scape bathed in the sunset hight Of a
day. In the foreground stood
a picturesque old barn. Mr. Hunt
stood behind his pupil silently for a
few moments, watching him work.
Suddenly he stopped and put his
hand On the young painters arm.
See here he said firmly, eff you
spend so much time painting shingles
on barn, you'll never have tine to
paint sunsets! You'll have to choose"
It did not take the young man long
to see the point, and make his choice.
He never forgot his famous teachers
advice when he was tempted to exag-
gerate the Importance of details

on the whole, a fairly complete body
of factory laws, there is a lack of
uniformity and connection between
the different acts. Many of the pro-
visions are conflicting, some are in
definite as to their meaning, others
fall short of the purpose for which
they were enacted. Much Of this con-
fusion is due unQuestionably to the
manner in which this class of legisla-
ton has been handled. and argues
strongly IN favor of the proposed
change"
Mr. Erickson has a chapter on child
labor in which he points out some of
the defects in the laws which regulate
the employment Of children. This
law" he says, was intended to cover
all children working for wages except
those employed On the farm or other
similar occupations; yet, as bowling
alleys, summer and beer gardens and
places of amusement are not ex-
pressly mentioned in the wording Of
the law, there is a question as to
whether or not they come within it..
In this connection he makes an in
teresting observation about the viola
lions of the law. His investigations
show conclusively that of the parents
who violated the law by putting their
children to work, all were driven to it
by necessity.
If his recommendation regarding an
increased force is needed there will
be at least two more fat appointments
for Governor ELECT La Toilette to deal
out to his friends.

A Great Collection Of Mosquitoes.

Sir Joseph Chamberlain sent out a
request to the Governors of British
colonies few months ago that steps
be taken to secure specimens of
mosquitoes in their respective iuris-
dictions and that the same be for
warded to the Natural History
Meseum in London for scrutiny and
classification. The Secretary for
Colonies had already co-operated with
the Royal Society for rigid investiga-
ton into the suspected relations be-
tween mosquitoes and malaria, mas
much as malaria fevers are said to be
the cause of more deaths than any
other malady in the tropical posses.
sions Of the Grown. Thus far over
5000 specimens have been received
and additions are being made to this
total almost every week. The genus
anopholes, which is held responsible
for the dissemination of malaria. is
represented by % species, at least Il
of which were until recently unknown
to science. Great variations both in
size and the markings Of the anop
heles have been detected, and, al
though the genus is practically world
wild in its distribution, no single
species belonging to it appears to
have a very extensive habitat. This
latter popularity is not equally
characteristic of the innocent culex
one species of which has been found
in North and South America, the West
Indies, Gibraltar. South and West
Africa, India. the Malay Peninsula
Hongkons. Formosa and Japan.

LONDON OMNIBUSES.
Some Facts About Them of Not Com.
mon knowledge.

IflOfi fNhOWiCOSS
In Cassell's Magazine w. B. Robert
son gives some curious letails of the
omnibus traffic of London. More than
half of the omnibuses 1,320," he
says, belong to the London General
Omnibus company, the next biggest
proprietor being the London Road Car
company, with 420, the Things, the
London Omnibus Carriage company
and a combination of private proprie-
tors owning the rest. AS to what a
bus does, it runs on an average "a
miles a day, carries 420 passengers
and earns 92 los. Some of them do
this without much effort, just accord
ing to the roads they have to run on,
and will live for nearly 40 years. Just
as showing the difference the road
makes to a healthy bus, it may be
stated that buses running up and
down the hills to and from the north
of London require to have their wheels
tired every six weeks, whereas buses
running along the level, as those on the
Putny and Hammersmith routes do,
go II months without being retired.
