Prairie Dogs in Kansas.

A report has been made by the spe-
oial agent appointed by Governor Stan
ley to gather statistics OF the subject
of prairie dogs in Kansas. In the
sixty-seven counties covered by the
report it is shown that ], 1924, ,845 acres
Of land are occupied by prairie dog
towns. Logan County heads the list
with 236, GAO acres, Finney County has
2l2, 160 aud Cove 211, 800. The other
counties run from 5000 to 10000
acres. In the extreme western part
of the State nearly ali of the pasture
land is beld by prairie dogs. The
general estimate of damage to this
pasture by the animals is 30 per cent,
though many farmers think it is
greater. One farmer in Wallace
County says that his cattle will not
eat grass on that part of his range oc-
cup;ed by prairie dogs. A ranoi.man
in Logan County says he is only able
to pasture 500 head of cattle on the
same range where he pastured l 900
head ten years ago, when the prairie
dogs were not SO numerous. Experts
at the agricultural college are trying
to devise some method for extermi.
mating the prairie dogs, but up to this
time little has come Of their experi-
meuts. The pest is rapidly increas.

Dead Hen Hatched Chickens.

A lady living near Cantonsville,
Ga, has brood of half-grown chick
ems which found their way into the
world under very peculiar circumstan.
ces.
Late in tho summer the lady one
day heard twitterings up on the side
Of the barn which she at first thought
were made by swallows or sparrows.
Finally she became convinced that the
cries were made by young chickens.
but for a long time she could not To-
cate them.
At noon she mentioned the matter
to one Of her sons. The young man
reflected that about ten days before he
had thrown load of second.orop hay
in the NOW, and he conjectured that a
setting hen had been covered up by it.
He went to the barn and, after forking
of large quantity of the hay, he
found the badly decomposed body of
hen aud IL lively. but very hungry
chicks, apparently several days old.
Only one egg remained in the nest uu-
hatched.

Watch a Horse Roll.


An exchange, whose quest IN box
has been asked why dogs always turn
around before lying down and why
ducks walk behind each other in a
string instead of abreast, fires back
the question as to why Q horse, when
wallowing, always fails 70 roll over on
the second attempt. 1t says that it is
an iuvariable rule that horse role
over at the first attempt or quits try
ing with the third effort. Sometimes,
it says, he rolls over the first time and
is therefore satisfied. But if he does
not he invariably makes the second
attempt and invariably fails, and is
then equally certain to make the third
attempt. This time he sometimes
succeeds and sometimes does not. If
he goes over alright, but if he fails at
the third attempt he is certain to quit
trying for that occasion. We turn
this interesting question over to our
6na corns Of correspondents, ali Of
whom may thus have q chance to
philosophize little.-Monroe Em-

Saved by his Wit.

"It was pretty close shave and
nothing but my presence Of mind is
responsible for my being able to tell
Of it now" said the old magician.
Several years ago I made tour of
the West. One night, while showing
in small town, I made use Of what
1 consider my greatest and most mys-
tifying trick-that of catching in my
teeth bullet fred from gun. The
trick-for it is nothing but trick
is of itself very dangerous, and it is
for that reason that l seldom ever at
tempt it. But that night my audi
ence was 80 enthusiastic that re-
solved to give it. When 1 called for q
man to step forward to fire the gun
the audience took it for granted that
the local bad mana dead shot, by
the way-should be the man, and he
came swaggering up to the platform.
Well, the trick was a complete suo-
cess, and was we'll repaid for the
danger that had run by saeing the
look of amaze on the bad man face
when I showed him the m2rked bullet
between my teeth. After the per-
formance was over I went to my hotel,
and while enjoying q goodnight cigar
before going to bed the Office was sud
denly invaded by mob of excited
men, headed by tho bad man. Here,
pard, said he, seizing hold Of me and
showing me up against the wall. Bill
here wasn't at the show, and he says
he doesn't believe you kin catch a
bullet with your teeth, and I've bet
him $40 that you kin Then, before
/ could find my tongue, he backed off
about fifteen feet and drew gun.
Now, git ready, pard,' shouted the
bad man, as he drew q bead on me.
Righ. there was where I did the most
rapid thinking Of my life. Hastily
passing my hand over my mouth. I
extracted my false teeth, and then
pleaded that I would have to go to my
room before I could do the trick. I
left, ostensibly to get the teeth, but
really to catch train out Of town. I
out that trick for the balance of ny
trip. ."-London Mail.

The Way of a Tornado.

A tornado that was remarkable
both in appearance and in action was
one that travelled from Texas across
Oklahoma and Indian Territory in
May, 1896. A man in Sherman, Ok
lahoma, who had exceptional opportu-
mites Of observing the storm, mas
much as he was caught up in it and
carried several hundred yards before
descending to earth again, is certain
that it was not funnel shaped. He
scys Of it: ''It looked to me like
great ball Of vapor rolling over and
over toward me. When I first saw it
distinctly it was at hill perhaps an
eighth of mile away. It seemed to
be about ESQ yards wide and 100 feet
high. The motion was that of ball
rolling over and over, not spiral, and
it came on rather slowly, perhaps
thirty miles an hour. Whatever the
ball Of cloud struck was lifted right
off the ground.
"When the ball reached Mrs. C.'s,
the house nearest me, it went straight
up off its foundations. The house re-
mained intact un1l it was about TWEEN.
ty or twenty-five feet from the ground
when it hurst open, and the fragments
flew IN all directions. It looked like
an exploding bomb. The corn and
cotton standing hundred feet on
either side Of the storms path were
uninjured, but whenever. the cloud
struck the higher ground it spread
ont, covering a wider strip of the sur
face. When the cloud struck me I
went up lightly and easily and the
sensation was not unpleasant, but I
came down hard and was badly shaken
up, although not seriously injured.
On the highway north OF Sherman
fence wires were torn from the posts
and pounded into the hard surface Of
the road distance Of two or three
inches"
