To Extermimate Prairie Dogs.

''It has been discovered" says
John c. Peery, of Texas, in the Chi
cago Record, ''that prairie dogs can
be exterminated by sufocation, the
method being to saturate piece of
cotton with bisulphate of carbon.
This should be dropped in the prair-
lie dogs mound and covered over.
1t rapidly generates gas which has
a tendency to penetrate downward
into every corner of the underground
chambers occupied by the parent
dogs and their young, giving them a
quick and easy death. Millions of
prairie dogs have been killed by this
manner during the past few months.
A number of men have taken hold
of the work as regular business and
they take contracts to rid farms and
ranches of the pests at the extreme
ly low rate OF tour cents per acre,
or S25 per section. Inasmuch as
the animals destroy fully SO per cent
of the grass and wheat in the vicin-
ity in which they are found the land
owners can we'll afford to pay the
low price demanded for getting rid
of the little pests. The only diff
Guilty about making the radiance per-
manent is that the railroad compan-
les and the state own vast tracts of
land and there is no effort being
made to exterminate the prairie dogs
on these lands"

Alvie A. Davis,
Fowler, Kansas,
Dear Bro.-I thought 1 would write you a
few lines as l have nothing else to do at pres
ent. We have been having pretty tough
time of it here. We have been here about
five weeks and got the place pretty well clean
ed up now. But for while we worked pref
ty hard. have come to the conclusion thai
1 have quit growing. 1 haven't gained OIL
lost a pound since 1 haye been in the army.
1 haven't been sick either. Bob has been In
the hospital for about three weeks. He will
soon be out though.
notice in the papers from the states an ar
ticle that says that there are a great many
soldiers going crazy from the heat here.
is great mistake. It's the stuff that they
drink that makes them crazy. They drink
what is called beno. 1t is a clear liquor
looks something like alcohol. If man start.
to drinking it and keeps 1t up, it will drive
him crazy in no time. Then there is another
drink called tuba. The nntives climb up If
the cocoanut trees and cut the nip of the bud
off and hang a bucket made of bamboo to
the bud to catch the sap. When the buckets
are full they take them down and put some
kind of leaves in them which gives it the
taste it has. When the tuba is fresh it is all
right but when it stands little while it gets

hasn't got such nice taste at all, but its that
after you get to liking it you can't get enough.
1t will gradually run man crazy.
1t sounds funny to read where Mr.. SO and SO
has on supply of fresh cocoanuts. The peo-
pie here don't eat the kind of cocoanuts you
get there. They are best when they are
scarcely any meat in them, but the nearer
ripe they get the more meat they have and
the less milk. There are several different
kinds of bananas grow here. There are the
small yellow ones about three inches long and
there is a long kind that when they are ripe
the peel is still green, but the meat is like all
bananas. Then there is a banana with a red
peel. The meat when ripe being real yellow.
There is another kind that are not round but
three cornered, they are not good to eat only
when cooked. 1 don't like them then.
The people have queer way of carrying
things here, they carry everything on poles
like the Cinnamon. It's queer to see q
couple of natives coming down the street
with pig with his feet tied together and
hanging over pole and squealing for al
that's out.

bod on Malt.
published by request. J

nc cuptIdnCS OIduudIu eClIS d
semi-humorous story about John
bod, a noted Puritan. He was an
energetic opponent of the drinking
habits of the day, and a party of
daring students attempted a practi-
cal joke upon the sanity old man.
How ingeniously he turned their
scoffing to good account let the
"Sermon on Malt" declare:
SERMON ON MALT.
Several of the students, meeting
DR.. bod one day on a journey, de-
termined to make him preach in
hollow tree which stood near the
road side. Accordingly, addressing
him with great apparent politeness,
they asked him if he had not lately
said much against drunkenness. On
his replying in the affirmative, they
insisted that he should now preach
from text of their choosing. In
vain did he demonstrate on the I'M
reasonableness of expecting him to
give them a discourse without study,
and in such a place; they were, how
ever, determined not to take a de-
NAL, and the word "Malt" was given
him by way of text, on which he de-
livered himself as follows:
"Beloved, let me crave your at
tention. l aim little man, come at
a short warning, to preach a short
address, from a small subject, in an
unworthy pulpit, to a small congre-
CATION. Beloved, my text is Malt.
1 cannot divide it into words, it be-
ing but one, nor into syllables, it be-
ing but one. 1 must therefore of ne
cessity divide it into letters which 1
find to be these four-M A L T.
"M, my beloved, is moral; A is
allegorical; L, literal; T, theological.
The moral is set forth to teach you
drunkards good manners; therefore,
M, masters; A, all of you; L, listen;
T, to my text. The allegorical is
when one thing is spoken and an
other thing is meant. The thing
spoken of is malt, the thing meant
is the juice of the malt, which you
Cantabs make-M, your master; A,
your apparel; L, your liberty; und
T, your trust. The literal is &C
cording to the letter M, much, A,
ale; L, little; T, trust. The theolog-
ical is according to the effects that
it works, and these l find to be of
two kinds-frst, in this world; and
second, in the world to come. The
effects it works in this world are in
some, M, murder; in others, adult
cry; in all, looseness of life; and in
some, treason. The effects that it
works in the world to come, are
M, misery; A, anguish; L, lamenta-
tons; L, torment. So much for my
time and text.
81 shall improve thus: First by
word of exhortation-M, masters;
A, all of you; L, leave off; T, tippl-
ing-or, secondly, by way of ex-
communication, M, masters; A, all
of you; L, look for; T, torment.
Thirdly, by way of caution, take
this-A drunkard is the annoyance
of modesty, the spoiler of civility,
the destroyer of reason, the brewers
agent, the alehouse benefactor, his
wife's sorrow, his children's trouble,
his own shame, his neighbours scoff,
a walking swill-bowl, the picture OF
a beast, and monster of man.
Now, to-" etc.
He then concluded in the usual
| form; and the young men, pleased
with his ingenuity, not only thanked
him, but absolutely profted more by
this short and whimsical sermon
than by any serious discourse they
han ever heard.-Deaconess Advo-
cate.

PLAINS ITEMS.

Well, the desired rain came
which furnished the wheat and
barley nourishment until matur-
ity.
We challenge the county and
any adjoining county for yield
and quality in small grain crops.
Mr.. Ball, who recently located
here on the Alb Stewart farm has
field of 100 acres wheat which
will yield at 26 bushels per acre.
He also has the finest prospect
for field corn ever planted in this
section.
Bisbee, Angel, and Graham al
so have large fields of wheat that
will make excellent yields.
Mr.. Townley Logan, whom we
mentioned in last weeks items
leaving for Pratt to see his best
girl, sure enough did not return.
He was married to this young
lady and will make their home in
Pratt county. We extend our
hearty congratulations and wish
Mr.. l.. and his bride much Joy
and happiness along the pathway
of life.
Farmers are rustling around
hunting harvest hands. Many
contemplate cutting the last of
this week.
Ray Edwards went out to Mr..
Balls place Sunday to investigate
the condition of their crops as he
is going to harvest the same.
Mr.. Earle Him and sister,
Mrs. Ed. Gorsline were visiting
in Plains Sunday.
Another party was given, this
time at Mr.. Jones' who resides
~ miles west of the city. A
crowd of about 40 gathered at
this place and the evening was
spent in games advertisements
were served. The crowd after
feeling they had "gotten their
moneys worth" departed for
their respective places at a late
hour. All report jolly good
time. Wild Bill was present and
was the center of attraction.
Sunday school which was Or
gained last Sunday is progress
ing nicely with good attendance.
That's right, turn out every Sun
day and help this good work
along. Please excuse my absence
as l forgot about it.
Miss Maggie Martin who is
teaching school in the LANDER
son district in Seward county
was in Plains from Friday until
Monday visiting relatives and
friends.
Several of our PLAINTIFFS are
thinking of taking in Bonheur
Bros. show at Liberal the last
part of the week.
Earle Phillips, who went to his
home at Wichita some few weeks
ago is now in St. Louis in the en-
p1oy of the St. Louis Transit Co.
who are having so much trouble
with the strikers.
Mr.. Ed. w. Aker will soon not
care if the wind don't blow. He
has ordered him ~ horse pow
er Weber gasoline engine and
will yank the water from the
great depth at a 9O-inch lick.
Tom Lowe, of Liberal, who is
in the employ of Ed w. Aker is
thinking of locating at Battle
Greek, Mich, in the near future.
He must have girl up there.
This is all for this time and
while 1 think of it, if you see any
loose hands over there, send them
to me as 1 want to harvest my
wild oats.

One of the queer things about the
Kansas poll tax law is that a man
who is exempt from working the
roads on account of his own disabil-

In other words, a man who is not
able-bodied draws full pay alongside
a man who has nothing the matter
with him. This entire poll tax work
on the road is farce. The money
for labor on the roads should be rails
ed by taxation.-Newton Kansas.
