Pine Line Burst.

News came to town Monday eve
ming that the gas pipe line which con-
meets the wells south OF Gas City with
the main which leads TO LaHarpe
to the Lanyon smelter had burst aud
nearly killed the two boys who caused
the explosion. Walter Aten and Carl
Wolf, two of the we'll known boys of
the neig b borhoed, armed with an axe,
noticed that the pipe line prOtruded
from the ground where it crossed a
ravine east OF MsyloD Ramberg's
house. With the native curiosity
and meddlesomeness of boys Aten
struck the pipe blow with the axe.
rhe line parted as with an explosion
and both boys were blown a consid-
erable distance. Aten was thrown
against a wire fence which promptly
swung him back into the heavy
stream of gas which flowed with the
full pressure OF 10000 900 we'll be.
hind it. When he finally extricated
himself from the wire barbs and the
gas. he saw his friend standing at a
safe distance and the boys made their
way home. IL is reported that the
doctors have dressed their wounds
and that they were severely bruised
and it is remarkable that they were
not killed. Several houses which
obtained their supply from this line
have been without fuel on account OF
the break. 1t is believed that people
will not carelessly fool with pipe
line hereafter.

tween members and their employees.
The services of the committee and it's

Booker McCnY Hooked.

Sheriff Hobart went to Paola Sun
day and arrested a young colored
man named Booker Mccoy, the one
who last August fought a duel on the
streets of lola with a painter named
Vaught, Mccoy shooting several
times at Vaught. Both made their
escape and have not been heard OF
since until word came from Paola.
One of the things which aggravated
the crime was that one of McCoy's
stray bullets entered the house of DR..
Hirsch and buried itself in the baby
carriage. Mccoy pleaded guilty to
disturbing the peace and paid the fine
and costs, amounting to $500, and
was allowed to resume his wander
ings.

RUDYARD KIPIING's first piece of
sustained work since his illness last
year turns out to be a series of humor-
Gus animal stories which are said to
show all the freshness and zest of a
man who has had a long rest. Kip
ling loves to write an animal story
better than anything else and when
his physicians allowed him tp return
to work he instnctively turned to this
series which he had had in mind for
years. There are nine stories, and
each one is supposed to tell the
origin of the most conspicuous part of
the animal portrayed. Thus, i'm "The
Elephants Childn he tells most droll
story of how the elephant happened
to get trunk, and in "Tbe Sing. Song
of Old Man kangaroo" he gives the
history of how the kangaroo got his
long legs, for, Mr.. Kipling says, there
was time when elephants had no
trunks, and kangaroos' legs were not
as long as they.are now. The stories, it
Is said, show Mr.. Kipling at his very
best. They are expressively funny
and have that rare quality of appeal
ing to old as well ss young. The au-
thor has sent the entire series to The
Ladies' Home Journal, ana that
magazine will begin their publication
