IS CAUGHT IN A HORSE SWAP.
A Case of Where Greek Met Greek
Locally.

One of the citY's uniformed employees
is being subjected to bit of good-na-
tured chatting from his friends as the
result of recent horse trade, in which
pastime he often INDUCES while gath
ering shekels for the city. In this in
stance he traded with an alderman
for a mare which bore the poetic name
of Mary Ann and was a relic of the
early sixties. But when he went to
invoice Mary Ann and list her fine
points he found her interior depart
ment disarranged, her teeth gone and
her rear starboad propeller so badly
damaged that only three legs were
available fer travelling purposes. They
had snapped horses "sight unseen"
and both got gold brick. The new
owner of Mary Ann had but one idea,
and that was to ladle. her off on some
one else. and when a gypsy offered him
$15 for Mary Ann, promising to pro-
vide her nursing bottle until she
/ sprouted another set of teeth, the
trade was made. The Official is now
atoot, but he has SIS in his jeans and
is carrying brick in bag until he
meets that alderman in a dark alley.

IRE NEVER SLOW TO ENLIST.
Recruiting Officers Take Their Pick
of Men of High Standard.
PROBABLY $4,000 WANTED

Washington, Nov. 27-In view of
the probable call upon the war depart
ment to make a sudden increase in the
enlisted strength of the army, after
the present force has been discharged,
it is matter OF considerable interest
to see what may be done by the various
recruiting officers towards building up
the new regiments when the number
and strength OF these is determined by
passage of the army reorganization
bill. 1t is said at the war department
that for several months past the chief
trouble has been to keep from over
recruiting the regular regiments now
in the service. In spite of the fact
that active war hardly can be said to
exist, even in the Philippines, there
has been strong pressure for enlist
ment, and the recruiting officers, it is
said, have been able to pick and choose
men of a high standard of excellence.
owing to the large number of appli-
cants. The department counts with
considerable confidence on the re-en-
hstment of a large number of men
whose term of service wiz expire on
June 80, 1901. At the same time if the
army reorganization bill provides for
permanent force of 60, 900 men or over.
and it is net-thought likely that it will
fall below this figure, there will be
81, 900 men to enlist between the date
of the passage of the bill and the dis
charge of the present regulars on June
80. When the Spanish-American war
was officially declared to be ended,
and the discharge of the volunteers
rendered the recruiting of fresh regi-
ments imperative, there were %, 600
new men added to the regular estab-
ishment in the space of about six
weeks, in spite of the fact that volun-
unteer officers at that time were re-
cruiting all over the country to fill up
the volunteer regiments The first
regiments enlisted for the regular
service were recruited, equipped and
drilled and ready for transportation on
an average of fortyfour days each, more
than ten days quicker than the average
for the regiments enlisted at the be
ginning of the Spanish war.

why Procure New Seed wheat.

Topeka, Nov. 24.-The statement
issued some time ago by F. D. Coburn,
secretary of the Kansas department of
agriculture containing the opinion of
millers and wheat growers over the
state upon the advisability of import
ing new seed wheat from Russia has
been misconstrued. Mr. Coburn gave
out the following statement explaining
the matter:
kansas is not compelled TO send to
Russia for a cargo OF seed wheat owing
to a deterioration of Kansas grain; yet
many of our most observant wheat
growers think it might be an excellent
thing to keep the high character of
our winter wheat reinforced by i'm
portations of seed from the original
source of supply-the Crimea. and parts
of Russia near the Black sea- The
Kansas winter wheat which so disturbs
the equilibrium of the northwestern
millers is from this Russian seed.
''There has been no complaint from
the outside of any deterioration what
ever.
