The Kansas State Teachers Associa-
ton will use Its influence to have the
Legislature next year enact law pro-
viding for text book on agriculture
for use In the common schools. The
special committee appointed at the las
session Of the State Teachers Associa-
ton to revise the course Of study for
the common schools Of Kansas has re-
solved that text book ON agriculture
should be adopted in the Kansas
schools, and decided to take steps to
arouse sentiment on the subject. AS
a preliminary step It was decided to
adopt agriculture as portion of the
course of study for the next school
year. State Superintendent Nelson
says: kansas Is an agricultural State.
The young men Of the State should.
Therefore. be taught agriculture. How
to keep boys on the farm Is now the
great question. By Identifying farm
life and educating the boys to make a
success In agriculture the question will
be solved. 1t is just as essential to
teach young man who expects to fol-
low that pursuit how to farm as II is
to send young man who wants to be

ISOLATION, but he soon found he had a
rather difficult Job. Chicago Pete had
been a pretty tough customer all his
life and had most OF the traits that de-
cent folks can get along without. but
he entertained a supreme contempt for
death-bed reformations and told the
preacher 30 with picturesque embel-
llshment OF profanity that made the
good mans hair bristle on his head.
Nevertheless he stuck TO his task.
and for upward of an hour he pleaded
with the sufferer to repent before IL
was too late. Finally. when he was
about TO give up in despair. my cook
next door began to fry some oysters
which had secured that morning as
special treat, and as their faint odor
drifted into the shanty Pete suddenly
opened his eyes. Them oysters reminds
me OF home he said. When you were

cue as quick as lightning. Yes said
Pete, my mother used to fry oysters

said Pete. If you'll leave the door open

How Undertakes Used to Fight in thu

How Undertakes Used to Fight in the

In the old days there used to be great

too suddenly and there were too many
deaths for that. This happened after
the mines were discovered. People
were coming to Denver by the thou
sands and there was no place for them
to sleep.

in the open air was not conducive to
good health. Men died like sheep the

penses. This fact was an encourage
men to the doctors and the men who
attended TO the last rites. For time
1000 men slept under the shelter of a
shed. Some mornings twenty of them
would be found dead.
William Simpson and John Moran
were the principal undertakers of the
town. The competition was keen and
both men had scouts to look for bodies.
The scouts had many fights over their
claims for the right to take a body for
burial. John Atkins was the scout for
Simpson and Bill Green the scout for
Moran. Things came to climax one
morning over the body of young En-
glishman.
TITS NINE" said Atkins.
You're liar" responded Green, Its
mine. I was the first to find he was
dead"
An argument of that kind could only
be settled in one way In Leadyllle at
that time. Both men drew reyolvers.
both fired and both fell.
The coroner held an inquest The
verdict was:
John Atkins and Bill Green came to
their deaths by pistol shots. BIZ Green
died first and therefore Atkins won his
fight. 1t is the opinion of the jury that
William Simpson, the undertaken, for
whom Atkins worked, is entitled to the
body of the Englishman."

death wouldn't change salaries with
