Cross-Bred Fowls.

Jim Morphy, of the Smith Center
Journal, is the author of the following
story which ranks first to all others emf
mating from the short grass country:
''Stephnor Kanzski, a Russian, for
merly head overseer of the cars pOul-
try farm in Russia, is now running a
big wheat farm near Hill City, Kan. At
odd times he makes experiments 10 the
development of poultry. Mr.. Kanzsh
tells Of some, interesting things he has
accomplished in the way of cross breed
ing of fowls. Kanzski took a young
chicken and guinea, a male and female,
and placed them in a pen so arranged
that they could see no other fowls, and
the natural instinct to preserve and in
crease their numbers caused this chick
en- and guinea to rear a family. So the
offspring of this pair was a queer mix
ture of both, cackling like a chicken at
one time and making the familiar pot
rack noise of the guinea at another.
''Mr. Kanzski then crossed this guinea
chicken with the Picking duck, and so
on until he had a fowl that was a mix
ture of chicken, guinea, duck, turkey,
goose and peacock. This fowl stands
about three feet high and its plumage
seems to be made up of the most beauti-
full parts of those worn by its ancestors. y

Judge Doster of the state supreme
court, elected by the peoples party and
democrats of the state, has given such
eminent satisfaction on the bench that
the proposition has been made to let
him succeed himself by default of OBJ
position in nomination by the republi-
can party of the state. His ability and
fairness as a jurist is admitted by all,
and he is, par excellence, the most
learned and competent member of the
supreme bench. Even his political op-
ponents concede this. The proposion
referred to ought to carry, for there is
no elective Office that should be more
removed from partisanship than the
judiciary. But the clamors Of the
place hunters, politicians and sman-fry
lawyers will manage to defeat the
measure

Monday afternoon q team driven by

hitched to a sled and after running a
short distance Mrs. Gilbert was thrown
in front of the sled, which passed over
her body and she received several seri-
Gus bruises. She was caught by the
sled and dragged a considerable dist

bones we're broken, however.

John Breidenthal says that there Is
no hope for the popuIist party: that no
ticket will be put into the field next
year; that many of the populist editors
are going into the democratic camp;
that old line pOpulists will vote the
social democratic or prohibition ticket
and that the republicans will carry the
state next year by 1900 majority.
In effect, John says the populist
party is dead. 1t calls to mind story
that runs as follows: A farmer was
digging a deep well near his house, and
while at dinner his little boy had run
out into the yard before work was
resumed, and had tumbled into the
we'll The alarm was given and the
father rushed to the mouth Of the well
and shouted down into the hole:
Johnny, are you dead?" The answer
came: ayes, dad; hand me down a
rope" The farmer reciting the incid-
ent to a neighbor, said: 81 was so glad
to hear it from his own mouth"
If memory faileth not John once ran
for governor on the populist ticket;
and at one time had the pOpulist SEN
atorial bee merrily buzzing in his bon
net: was bank examiner for eight years;
and was tolerated by the republicans
for the second term when they had
case against him for not accounting
properly to the state of Kansas for fees
collected; and the state accountant
had to make up his accounts before he
knew just what amount he owed the
state Yet he was allowed to stay and
the republican papers were always
pat ting him on the back and praising
his ability
John seemingly appreciated these
puffs and in interview after interview
contributed campaign thunder as to
the prosperity of the country under
republican rule. In one interview, be-
fore his nomination for governor on
the fusion ticket, he said: Nothing
but a pestnence or some cataclysm Of
nature could prevent the reelection of
Mckinley" Yet he accepted the fusion
nomination for governor, and erected
his political lightning rod, hoping to
get struck.
John is at his old tricks again. He
does not say where he is intending to
go when his whilom political house
and tabernacle is dissolved. Is he
waiting for something to turn up?

Rear Admiral Schley's careful accu-
mutation for 40 years viii be used up
in the expenses of the court of inquiry
in his own defense Congress should
make an appropriation to reimburse
him for this outlay. 1t is simple jus
tiee and would be heartily approved by
all the people. And, if in the findings
Of the court he is exhonerated and
given credit for his part in the battle
of Santiago, he should receive the
prize money the naval regulations
allow.

Congress will have to devise means
for the reduction of revenue on ac-
count of the immense amount Of
money that is piling up in the treas
ury. The adoption of reasonable means
for reciprocity, which is free trade on
basis of equity, with other nations
should be one measure of relief This,
if wisely done, viii lessen commercial
enmities and viii extend American
markets, as in the Russian sugar case.
Especially should friendly relations be
cultivated with Mexico and South
American states.

AIarconfs Telegraph System.

A great deal Of fun has been pOked at
Marconi's system Of wireless telegraphy
by the photographers. MarcOni has gone
on and demonstrated the utility of his
invention. When 200 miles out at sea
the Lucania was in touch with land by
means of the wireless method. If the
system can be operated at 200 miles 1t
can be employed for larger distances.
Heretofore when an ocean steamer was
out of sight of land it was isolated. 1t
could not communicate either with the
land or with other vessels. Now all is
changed. If a ship is disabled the fact
can be communicated either to land or
to some other vessel and rescue be pro-
vided. Collision may be avoided in fOgs
by vessels telegraphing to others their
exact location and route. Marconi has
as yet failed to solve the problem of
wireless telegraphy on land. Too many
things intervene to disturb the message
and the privacy of it. Nevertheless even
those obstacles may be overcome in time.
1t is rash prophet who would deny the
possibility of any sort of invention now
adays.

I told you Oncs. sweet wife. long years ago,
When all our blood thrilled with a youthful
glow,
That in the whole vide world naught could

To the Wild glory Of your golden hair.

Nay. start not. dearest. with such wondering
eyes.
A deeper beauty I have learned to see:
That silver gray far dearer is to me.

Blasts from the Rams Horn.


The church will branch out as it roots
in.
The leaves never fall from the tree of
life.
A twisted conscience is a poor bust
ness guide.
Revivals cease when Satan joins the
church.
An irrational religion is like heat with
out light.
Morally you cannot look one way and
walk another.
Bury hope and you sound the death
knel of progress.
Education without God is like a ship
without compass.
None sin against themselves without
SHINING against society.
SObriety among our leaders means
sObriety in the cottage.

Flower. with a wide blue Sash and his Nose
I'm the Air. He would sit i'm the Hotel
Office and bite his Finger Nails and feel
weary OF Adulation. Sometimes the other
Kids would see him at the Window and beg
him to come out. just for a little while,
and they wouldn't do a Thing to hin.
1t is a regrettable Fact that the Tike
who is ripped UP the Back and whose
Shoes are run over. always has it in for
the pale Boy who looks Spruce and hangs
around the Girls. The little Tuffies were
just aching to take a few Foxes at Claude.
But Claude had a Contempt for them. He
was OF Superior Clay, for Mamma had
dinged it into him 1000 times and all the
Young Ladies who were given the hallowed
Privilege of sitting alongside of him and
holding his Hand, said: "Oh Claude, I'd
just give anything for your Complexion"
Once or twice the Male Parent wondered
what they would make out Of the Boy, but
Mamma shuddered at the Suggestion of
Claudio being put TO Work. Some OF the
worldly Boarders around the Hotel sug-
gested that he become a Cloak Model.
Claude had no Plans Of his own. He knew
that he was the handsomest and dearest
Thing that ever grew up in a Family Hotel
and therefore he would be coddled and in
dulged for all Time.
Finally he became so long-legged that
they had to pull him out of Knickerbock-
ers and cut off his Curls, or else People
would have thrown Things at him. When
he gave up being a Pretty Boy and tried
to be a Young Man, he was a downright
case Of Polish. He was about so many
pounds of Veal. 1t usually happens so. The
gal Young Ladies' Uhn had 51ep6 him &c
a Plaything told him "Scatl' when he
Occupation of Holding Hands.
When he began to attend Dancing Parties
he discovered that the husky Youth with
the big Knuckles and the Golf Face was the
Main Torch, and in grown-up Society a
Fellow couldn't travel very far on his Com
plexion. The Young Men did not know
that he was a Delicate Organism brought
up in a Glass Case. so they called him
Jessie the Sewing Girl, and walked over
him rough-shod. When he called them
Mean Old Things they threatened to give
him a Slap on the Wrists.
All he could do was to fly to Mamma and
pour out his Griefs. For ten years Mamma
always had something to talk about, and
that was how Claudio was being Abused.
But no matter how often they threw him
Town and then piled things on top of him
Claude couldn't free himself of the Belief
that he was a Pretty Boy, and that all the
others ought to tell him so and let him
have his own Way.
Even when he was thirty and had a bad
set OF Whiskers and no Shape to speak of
he wanted all the Women to rush to him
when he entered a Room. He wanted to sit
