A Social Bird. Full of Humor and
PIay-Bachelors and "Ne'er-do-

From the Illustrated London News.
A recent writer from the sportsmans
point of view, speaks Of the rock as
this black robber," and he says that
there is no practical difference of opin-
ion as to the question whether his ben
efits outweigh his depredations. Now,
as a farmer I confidently affirm that
he does much more good than harm.
He will sometimes uproot vegetables in
getting at the worms round their roots.
II is true also that he often robs the
nests OF the pheasant and the part
ridge; but, as / could easily show, he
does far more good TO the general com
munity by furthering the labors of az
riculturists, on whom so much depends
than harm 10 the sport OF our lelsured
classes.

Who wrote the play. 1.-THE Unwel-
come Mrs. Hatch?" is a question which
the New York civil courts have been
trving to decide Mrs. Burton Harri-
son. who Is more familiar as an author
than as dramatist, claims that she
did. Mr. David Belasco, who, on the
other hand, is very well known as a
dramatist and not at all as an author,
claims the distinction Of originating
Mrs. Hatch. Mrs. Harrison seems to
have the best of the controversy thus
far. as she has sold the rights in the
play to Mrs. Fiske, and the courts have
refused to grant Mr.. Belasco a re-
straining Injunction. Now, If Mrs. Har-
rison will only ''novelize" her play she
will have the benefit of lawsuit public
ity TO start the book on successful
run.
One of the best selling books of the
season is the refssued "Tarry, Thou,
Till 1 Come" by George Croly. Its
author was a minister OF the gospeI
and a friend of Sir Walter Scott. The
book, it is said, was the result OF
wager between the two, Croly INSISTED
that Il was easier to write a novel
than a sermon, and Sir Walter arguing
for the sermon. The two men agreed 10
exchange occupations on a trial TAR
nv. Thou, Till I Come" was the result
of Croleys attempt at novel. UP 10
the present writing no one has dlscoV-
erred Sir Walter Scott's sermon, but II
il could be found, what sale 1t might
not have Herbert Brewster.

Our reporter noticed that a carload of vehicles had been shipped in here and were being peddled out to the ranchers. We inquired of our dealers if this could be done as cheaply as they could sell the same class of ve- hicles and were assured that it could not. and if any rancher would stop to figure d little he would see that he is paying from 25 to 30 per cent more for these vehicles than he would have to pay to the local dealer for the same vehicle. These people pay $1O0 for I- censes for each peddler; then they have the expense of team hire, feed bills, help, hotel bills and rent. and these items, without counting salaries. are about S35 per day, and this the pur chaser always pays. Then he is buy ing from strangers and those who have no interest In the valley instead of deal ing with those who are trying to up- build the community. These people sol! on long time and of necessity their losses from bad debts are great. and these losses are paid by those who settle their notes or buy for cash. It's all figured in the price. We are as as these parties sell -Or s175 they will furnish at S125. and buggies for S1O0 that they sell for $14O.
 Everything a local dealer sells is guaranteed and anything that goes wrong he at once makes good. Those from a distance make a similar guar antee. but the purchaser must return the defective part and a new one will ne sent. This takes time and the use of the vehicle is lost while the parts are in transit.

NO WORD FROM GATES.
His Acceptance of Washburn
Presidency Much in Doubt.

The ten days within which the Rev.
George A. Gates was to announce his
decision on the acceptance or rejection
of the presidency of Washburn college,
have expired and no word has been re-
ceived from Mr.. Gates, either accepting
or declining the place.
The trustees of the college still hope
that Mr.. Gates will accept though the
chances are now strong against it. 1t
is thought possible DR.. Gates has de-
layed his answer on account of his pro-
posed trip to Pomona college, which will
take place this week. The very fact,
however, that DR.. Gates is going to Po-
mona is believed by the Washburn peo-
pie to argue against his accepting the
Washburn offer.
81 suspect that DR.. Gates believes
that his wife could not stand the To-
peka climate" said one of the trustees
today, land that his trip to Pomona
with Mrs. Gates is practically an ac-
ceptance of the Pomona Offer
DIR. D. M. Fisk said today that he does
not expect to hear from Mr.. Gates till
next Saturday, owing to the Pomona
trip. DR.. Fisk still is confident that
Washburn has a good chance to get Mr..
Gates for it's president.

BAD FOR CITY HALL.
Faults in the Construction Are
Becoming Apparent.

For three days a carpenter has been
at work in the city hall trying to re-
pair the damage which has been done
to the building a result of detective
construction.
Both floors of the city building ap
pear to have sunk, or shrunk, and the
result is that the plastering on the
walls through all the city offices is
badly cracked, the door castings are
warped, the baseboGrds have spread
from the floors, and the whole interior
of the building appears to be twisted
out of shape.
This unfortunate deterioration of the
handsome new city hall has been
watched with amazement and indigna-
ton by the city officials. They do not
know who to blame. Some say the rea-
son of the Wrapping is that the building
was erected too rapidly, and that the
walls were not given time to settle
Others say that the timbers used in the
partition walls have shrunk, thus caus-
ang all the damage Others assert that
the trouble is that the building is not
properly braced on the first floor, where
the fire department headquarters are
located The first floor has no partition

BEST GRAIN PORT.
Boston Offers Big Inducements Over
New York to Shippers.

New York. Nov. 25-The advantage
that shippers of grain from Boston en-
joy over those who ship from New York
have been brought to the attention of
Governor Odel by local grain interests,
says the Journal of Commerce. They
claim that as result of contracts be-
tween the railroads terminating at BoS-
ton and the steamship lines BETWEEN
Liverpool and Boston, the latter PORT
has this year secured an immense adj
vantage. In figures, this advantage is
indicated by a total of over 10000, 900
bushels of wheat shipped to Liverpool
from Boston as against some 3,400, 900
bushels from New York to Liverpool.
1t is asserted that the railroads offer
free storage at Boston, but not at New
York. This matter was the chief rea-
son why a committee representing the
grain trade went to call on Governor
Odell and urged him to recommend in
his annual message to the legislature
that the powers of the state board of
railroad commissioners be so increased
that it will have power to prevent any
0iScrinina ton.

PREFER TO FIGHT.
Wisconsin Ice Companies Re-
fuse to Take Out License.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 25.-Indications
point to an interesting fight between
the ice companies and the state. The
last legislature passed a law taxing
the ice companies ten cents for each
ton of ice shipped out of the state. The
companies made a hard fight against
the bill, but were unable to prevent its
passage.
The bill provides that all companies
or individuals intending to cut ice for
shipment out of the state must apply
for a license from the secretary of
state prior to September 1. This pro-
vision has been ignored. None of the
companies has made such application,
and though the secretary of state would
be accommodating enough to date back
the licenses provided they were asked
for, the companies show no desire to
take advantage of this opportunity
1t is learned that two companies, who
ship out thousands of tons of ice each
season, will proceed with then cutting
this winter as usual and let the state
initiate proceedings. Then the law will
be taken into the courts on the ground
that it is unconstitutional.
