WEIRD WORK OF THE TYPES.-"The
most appropriate error that I ever
saw" said Will Ziegler a few days
ago, "Was one that came under my
observation when I was out in Color
ado. 1t happened at Colorado Springs,
when the mining excitement there was
at it's height. Every man, woman and
child in the town owned stock in some
mine, and only about one-half Of one
per cent. realized anything on their
investments. One day the news was
circulated about town that a man high
up in mining circles-a stock manipu-
lator and mine owner-had died sud
denly of heart disease. A local paper
held the press to get an account Of the
death, and the editor wrote double
column headline, which began, Death

came out in about half an hour, but

When the firing began General Fun

the attack on the house, personally as
sisting in the capture Of Aguinaldo.
The insurgent bodyguard fled, leaving
20 rifles. Santiago Barcelona, the In
surgent treasurer, surrendered without
resistance.
When captured Aguinaldo was tre-
mendously excited, but he calmed
down under General Funston's assur-
anes that he would be we'll treated.
General Funston secured all Of Agui-
naldo's correspondence, showing that
he had kept in close touch with the
sub-chiefs Of the insurrection In all
parts Of the archipelago. 1t was also
discovered that Aguinaldo, January
2S, had proclaimed himself dictator.
Aguinaldo admitted that he had come
near to being captured before, but he
asserted that he had never been
wounded, adding:
II should never have been taken ex-
cept by stratagem. I was complete

WHISTlING ON SUNDAY.

The persimmon is wild fruit found
in the Southern States. 1t is luscious
and sweet only after frost has fallen
upon it: previous to that mellowing
influence, though soft and tempting
in rich red, brown and purplish skin,
it is horribly acrid, and ties the tongue
and embitters the mouth in way that
seems venomous, and creates helpless
despair to the unwary faster.
In the days when to be Presby-
terian in South Carolina called for
the backbone Of a middle aged fourth
century anchorite, two lads. OF sucn
a family, strolled off from the fold,
for a Sunday walk. Coming up TO a
tree loaded with these persimmons
plums, Tom, the larger boy, proposed
to divide equally with the other chap
If he would give him mount on his
shoulders to lessen the labor OF
climbing.
This was agreed upon. Tom got into
the tree, and Jack anxiously waited
below.
Finding nothing falling to him, JACK
called to his brother with uplifteo
face:
"I say, Tom, what you doin'."
Tom was sitting in the branches
immovable, with lips stuck out
strained as if they had quarreled with
each other, and toes clutching the
limb.
A curious sound reached Jacks ears
Toms grimaces made him think ne
was derided as we'll as defrauded.
Hello! Tom, stop your foolishness
and throw down some simmons JACK
cried.
Only a stranger sound came dowr
from the partner on the heights. The
whip of religious persecution was ap'
piled:
II say, you drop simmons, or III
fell pap YOU whistled o Sunday"
Toms teeth were stuck in a greer
persimmon; but he sent struggling
through and around its four big fia'
seeds these irreverent words:

not particularly military one, and
that folks were not likely to be daz-

still proud of his uniform.

like that?" one friend asked.

but feel awkward in It,"

"Well, if I can't I can take it off and

The Twentieth Kansas was formed
from some companies from different
towns in the southeastern part of the
state, and while it was being gotten
together Colonel Funston was ordered
by General Miles to report to him at
Tampa. 1t was believed that he would
be assigned to the staff Of the COM
manding general. He went to Tam
pa, where he gave General Miles the
benefit Of his experience and informa-
tion relating to Cuba, the insurgents
and the Spanish forces. He wanted to
go back and join his regiment. After
remaining in Tampa for about month
he was ordered back to his regiment.
Just before he sailed from San Fran
cisco on his first trip to the Philip
pines, romance peeped into the life OF
Funston. One day a messenger came
to the farm house in Kansas with his
a telegram for his mother. She opened
it and found that it contained the briei
statement that Fred" had been mar

woman Of Oakland, California.

TOBACCO IN ENGLAND.-It Is an odd
fact that in England the cultivation of
tobacco as a crop Is prohibited by
tax so high on every acre sown with
tobacco seed that no Englishman could
afford to grow it, except as Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain grows orchids-as an
expensive fad. The origin Of this pro-
hibition is still more curious. 1t origi-
mated in the reign Of Charles II, when
Parliament passed law forbidding the
growth Of tobacco in England for the
express purpose Of encouraging trade
with the new colony of Virginia.

Crop Reports.

Reports from points covering tho corn
area indicate that there has been great

Kansas, tho loss will be severe, but in
Iowa and other States raising rs much or
moro than Kansas in normal season the
outlook is by no means hopeless; oven II
rain docs not fall for two weeks there
will DO chance of q fair yield. Mean
whilo conditions are worry satisfactory
in many sections and crop of 1,750,000,-
900 bushels may yet be secured.
Harvesting and threshing of winter
wheat progresses satisfactorily, and the
outlook in spring wheat States is such rs
to practically assure tho largest total
yield on record.
Oats have boon damaged to such an OK
tont that thoro is no prospect of oven on
average yiold
Hay has been injured by drouth in the
Southwest, but outside that region tho
crop is fully up to expectations, and high
prices will mako this II worry valuable
yield.
Rain has greatly improved the cotton
outlook, though much moro is needed to
secure best results.
Its noteworthy that while agricultural
products have suffered from heat and
drouth, there is much less loss from in
scots than usual.
