Fish With Legs and Feet.

The fish story lately told by the Meade
Globe finds corro boration in Ford county
we've got 'em, too. j. D. Brown, of
the southwest part of the county, has a
fish pond and fish, aud the fish have legs
and feet. These bifurcated pedals are
aid to do service at night, when the fish
rolls out of its vapory bath and srrolls
along the buffalo grass finding whatever
belated insect may come in his way. Mr..
Brown says the fish species of cat
fish. the SKIN looks like yellow cat and
they are nine inches long with feet aud
legs one inch long. Tcntacles are on the
gillS. They come to the surface of the
water once in awhile to breathe air.
They live the bottom of the pond like
other fish, and their habits much the
same other fish. Mr.. Brown is re-
spected citizen and his veracity Is I'M
quest ioned.
Why not have fishes with legs and
feet? Climate and environment has
much to do in the modification of the
animal species. The giraffe's long neck
has come through continuous habits of
browsing upon mountain walls; the ele-
plants trunk is natures reservoir while
the hugh mammal peCfestrinates over
hot and sandy deserts And nature 5 en-
vironment constructed for the camel a
food hump and internal water capacities
to overcome the same dearth in the hot
and dreary desert.
This is true of fish. When one
pond becomes dry they eYacuate and find
a fresh water pool Necessity has driven
them to change their habits which in
time changes their structure These fish
can stand a drouth, no doubt, and with
legs and feet conform to the conditions
of amphi bious animals.

The Temperance Meetings.

The temperance revival closed Friday
night From educational point oil
view the meetings did much good. The
lectures. the singing and the srereopticon
views were heartily enjoyed Prof VIII
cox is interchangeable and any lack OF
practical esults is no fault of his. His
prese ntation of the temperance question
and the a bominable liquor traffic is logical
and forceful, and the facts and figures
are ind1sputable arguments.
His meetings are gaining in impol ta nee
wherever he goes Last year the atten-
dance was not more than one fifth of the
attendance this year. Last year where
he had an audience of 100 this year he
has 800. The signing of pledges is grow
ing.
Prof. w. II. Weeden, the singer, who
married Mrs Hunter at Pratt, on Satur-
day, will take up other work For three
weeks he will assist Rev. Hestwood in
revival meetings in Larned, after which
Prof Weeden will make permanent
home at Emporia- The professor was a
wiflower before his recent marriage.
V. E. Rdenour, of Fort Scott, will ac
company Prof. Wilcox in his temperance
revivals. Prof. Ridenour assisted Rev.
E NJ. Carr in revival work here a few
years ago.
Prof. Wilcox left here for Kinsley
where he will conduct temperance work.
He viii then go to Garden City.

should Begin Mt Home.

A great many of our Missouri ex-
changes are making war on Sunday
desecration, especially baseball play
ing and shipping cattle on that day
The Times has been asked why it did
not ssscorch' the boys who engage in
these Sunday pastimes- One leading
reason is that we have long since
learned that newspaper, however
influential, and however much inclin-
ed to oppose such evils, can do very
little towards effecting n reform of
any kind where they are sanctioned
and meet little or no opposition from
the parents of boys who engage in
them. The papers in Warsaw have
published columns upon columns on
various topics they supposed would
tend TO the improvement, financial
and business growth of the town, but
they were feebly seconded by the
BUSINESS men and property owners
who were supposed to derive most
benefit. The sons of leading church
members engage in the Sunday pas
times that are condemned by our
newspapers and ministers, and as
long as these practices go on unres-
trained by parents and guardians,
newspaper sermons would be futile.
Let reforms" of this nature begin at
home.-Warsaw (Mo.,) Times.
