Jumped up and ran into the yard
screaming, the husband following her.
A neighbor tried to stop him, but he
threatened him If he interfered. About
this time the woman tripped in her

struck her several blows with the butt
of his gun, breaking off the stock and
bending the irons holding 1t to the bar
rels at the first blow. She was never
able to move after the first blow, al
though she seemed to breathe for some
minutes. Sike got some water and
poured on her dress where 1t was af1re

Humorous department.

PROVED HER NATIoNALITY.-Recen
ly a bent old lady entered the book
department of one of the Salina street
stores, and upon being asked what she
wished to see. made reply in what the
clerk Judged to be an unknown Ian
guage. A second inquiry proving no
more satisfactory, the clerk excused
herself and went in search of one OF
her colleagues who is Of German de-
scent.
"Oh! Miss L." she entreated, won't
YOU come over to my counter FOR
minute? There's a poor old German
lady there and I can't understand a
word she says"
Miss L. followed. and, pausing be-
fore the stool on which. the would-oe
customer was seated, inquired in her
sweetest tones:
Are you German?'
The poor old German LADY, raised
her handkerchief to her lips and evil
IDENTIFY extricated something from her
mouth. Then bending look of the ut
most scorn upon the clerk, she exclaim-
ed, in a rich and unmistakable orogue:
German, is it," Indade an I'm not,
but I've got a new set Of false tatne'
bad scran to thin! And now, If you
plase, will wan of ye wait on me?'-

produced away from it's native home.
In some years about 100000 pounds
of Rochfort cheese are made from the
milk of 100000 ewes.
The round Dutch product known as
Edam cheese, has one popularity, that
is shared by few other cheeses in the
worlds markets. The factory methods
of cheese making have been so far per-
fected that, as a rule, factory are re-
earded as superior to homemade
cheese in the same district. Practical
ly all the cheeses exported from Cana
da, the largest cheese exporting coun-
try in the world, are factory products.
Enormous quantities Of Edam cheese
are both made in factories and at the
homes Of the Dutch peasant farmers,
and nobody can detect any difference
between the factory and the home
made product. It is Edam cheese
wherever it is made in the district that
produces it. This district is confined to
the region north Of Amsterdam and
west of the Zuider Zee, region of
poders or reclaimed lands, rich in
grass and noted for its dairy farms
and it's famous mixers. Somebody who
was much impressed with these cows
yielding seven gallons Of milk day,
called them "ambulating milk springs"
and the compliment seems to be well
deserved. Edam cheese is made from
their bounteous yield Of milk. Tour
lists who visit the Dutch market town
of Alkmaar may sometimes see as
many as 100000 Of these little round
cheeses ready to be shipped to various
parts of the world.-New York Sun.

THE STRATEGY OF WU.
How the Chinese Minister Got His
Debts Paid.

A story Is going the round Of the dip
lomatic circle which Is vouched for by
persons who are familiar with the his
tory of WI Ting Fang, the Chinese
minister while he was a resident Of
Hong Kong.
The Chinese are not wholly without
virtues. Their cardinal virtue Is their
strict observance Of the customs OF the
country in the payment Of their debts.
Persons in debt make yearly settle
ments with their creditors, even If they
have to borrow the money with which
to liquidate their obligations. The more
sensitive Cinnamon who are unable to
discharge obligations Of this kind at
the annual settling up time have been
known to commit suicide rather than
suffer the humiliation Of being unable
to make good" Minister WI, so the
story goes, found himself one time
sorely in need of funds, and his position
in those days did not make it possible
for him to borrow the necessary money
had he so desired.
He was then married, and his wife
Mms. WI, was reputed to be one OF
the richest women in Hong Kong. HUI
initiation sat down upon the furrowed
brow of Mr.. WI. The crisis had come.
To liquidate his Indebtedness was I'M
possible: suicide was preferable to hu-
initiation. He would resort to the final
act. He would shuttle off this mortal
coil. He had apparently taken some
deadly poison. His wife pleaded for his
recovery. If he would only live she
would give him all the money he want
ed. At that time there were number
of English physicians in Hong Kong
who understood the science Of extract
ing poison from the human stomach
in short order. They were sent for.
The pumps were quickly set to work,
and the supposed poisonous article was
removed.
The great Mr.. WI and the physi-
clans had conquered. He had been
promised money from his wife, and the
physicians had pumped out the poison.
He would live and his wife would share
with him her fortune. All was lovely
and the goose was looking out Of the
fourth-story window.
The supposed poison, it was said, was
analyzed by chemist of great renown.
1t is alleged that this scientific inves-
tigation disclosed the fact that all that
Mr.. WI had taken was a large lump
of sugar, mixed with some black sub
stance, which gave it the appearance
of opium, that being one of the most
deadly drugs known to the Chlnese
minds, when taken in large quantities.
This only serves to illustrate that Min
lister WI, when a struggling magis-
trate in Hong Kong, knew the art OF
fooling his wife, just as many other
people do their wives in this country
but seldom in so serious a manner.-St.
Louis Star.

HE WASN'T TRAPPED.-The Rev
John McNeill was recently holding
revival at Cardiff, Wales, and an
nounced that he would answer any
question about the Bible. At once
note was sent up to him reading as fol-
lows:
Dear Mr.. McNeill: If you are seek
ing to help young men, kindly tell me
who was Gains wife"
That seemed a poser, and the audi
ence waited with intense interest, tenn
pered with amusement, to see how the
good man would extricate himself
After a pause he said:
1T love young men, especially young
inouirers for light, and I would give
this young man a word Of advice. L
is this: Don't lose your souls saliva
ton looking after other peoples wives

THE DEER's EYEs.-A Canadian hum
ter tells this incident of how he once
came face to face with his quarry and
hadn't the heart to fire: 1T wasn't
case of buck fever such as novice
might experience, for I had been
hunter for many years, and had killed
a good many deer. This was par
ticularly fine buck that had followed
for three days. A strong man can run
any deer to earth in time, and at last 1
had my prey tired out. From the top
of a hill 1 sighted him few miles
away. He had given up the fight, and
mad stretched himself out OH the snow.
AS 1 stalked him, he changed his po-
sition and took shelter behind a bowl
der. and, using the same bowlder for
shelter, I came suddenly face to lace
with him. He didn't attempt to run
away, but stood there looking at me
with the most piteous pair OF eyes
ever saw.
"Shoot? I could have no more shot
him than I could have shot child.
Had the chance come from distance
of 100 yards, I would have shot him
down and carried his antlers home IN
triumph; but once having looked into
those eyes it would have been nothing
less than murder. I have hunted deer
since then; but I find the sport affords
me little pleasure. Whenever l draw
a bead, the picture Of those mute, ap-
bearing eyes comes before me, and,
though it has not prevented me from
pulling the trigger, have always felt
glad somehow when my bullet failed
to find it's mark. ."-Washingt Post.
