He unroIed a bunch Of paper, and laid
something like rs stan8as Of awful stuff
on the desk
The poor fellow had hair Tip, and
meant to say poetry instead Of poultry.
He was told that The Eagle had already
a stock of poetry that would last till
about the year 261O, and couldn't use any
more.
But mine Is good" he insisted.
He was informed that every poet con-
sfdered his own productions good.
He then made the remarkable request
that he be allowed to examine the stuff
already in cold storage, but the poetry
editor had pity for him, and refused. He

Victor Murdoch ran a rusty nail into
his foot Thursday morning, and serious
consequences were threatened at one
time. He had TO remain at his home on
College Hill. and while he suffered con-
siderable pain he saw fun in the untor-
tunate accident. His telephone was kept
busy by his friends suggesting remedies.
One said that a flax seed pOuitice was
lust the thing; another said that bread
and milk would take the poison out OF
the wound; another insisted that piece
Of bacon was the surest cure; another
prescribed salt water and vinegar; still
another offered turpentine- A venerable
old man who has been an enemy OF the
weed all his life, suggested an applica-
ton of tobacco; another said caroOlic
acid. and another feared immediate lock
law unless he kept his foot in cool, soft
mud. The surest cure Vic can get for
that sore foot is a message from FL Reno
announcing that he has drawn No. l in
the Lawton district. That viii take the
soreness out of that foot quicker than
all the other remedies combined.

II VIII be a cold day when Wichita gets
in the rear Of the Kansas procession. She
generally manages TO get a place near the
band wagon. Prentis once said that it
did not make any difference what hap
pened, Kansas was the sister that al
ways got talked about, and somehow it
generally happened that Wichita is the
particular spot in Kansas that attracts
attention to the state. Some bankers
were talking about the business Of this
city a few days ago, when one OF them
remarked that one Of the banks of this
city stood at the head Of all Kansas
banks in the amount of its deposits. This
was questioned, and when the records
were searched the staternent was found
to be correct The bank has in its vaults
fOr depositors 81, $4,000, and that is more
money than any other bank in the state
Of Kansas contains.

most he hftched his horse TO a buggy that
was standing near the curbstone- he
entered a house on business, and when
he came out his horse and rig were
zone. He began a search, and after
long time found DR.. Neeley driving down
town. His horse was tied to Dr. Noeley' s
buggy.
Here. YOU man. there; what are you
doing with my rig?" shouted MI Reese
Dr.. Neeley turned his face about ana
saw what he had done
Both men saw how the mistake was
made. They laughed over it and are good
