1t Is a very bad practice, as most people
take that horse home and put him in
barn and then do not put a heavier biaa-

and the next day is sick and the owner
wonders what is the matter with him. A
horse can stand any kind of weather that
a man can stand without using a blan-

Mr. and Mrs. W 4. Morrison have re-
turned TO this city from Fort Wayne,
and give notice that they VIII remain
here for Some time. This has caused some
speculation as 10 the cause OF their re-
turn
AIr Morrison was superintendent OF
construction when the new street railway
was built in this city. and he has recently
been employed in building le9 miles Of
electric railway out OF Fort Wayne for
the Nelson company.
There is a well defined rumor that Mr.
Morrison has returned here to supercede
j. @. Williams as superintendent of the
Wichita Railroad & Light company. lt
is further reported that Air Williams viii

CITY who viii regret to see him leave.
1ir. Morrison understands the business
Of street railroadins thoroughly, and
there is no question about his making
good superintendent.
When asked in regard TO the rumoT
yesterday, 0Ir. Morrison said that he was
not in a position 20 confirm the report
He said that he was at all times sub

they had ordered him 10 report at Wleh-

The Best Man.

For the origin of "the best man at a wedding" we must go back many cen tnries. to days when it was the amia- ble practice Of the budding bridegroom to dispense with the consent either of the lady or her father. He simply waited for a suitable opportunity to capture her and make a bolt with his bride. In this enterprise he found it helpful to have the services of friend who would assist him in the capture and keep the pursuers at bay until he had got a sufficiently long start. This friend was the prototype of the best man of our own unrOmantic day, when his duties are limited to seeing that the bridegroom doesn't leave the rini 3ehind him or leave the church without taking his hat with him. How times do change!

A CORDIAL RECEPTION.
The Book Agent Got One That
 Wasn't Intended For Him.

There is a farmer living just north of Evanston and q book agent some where in the cosmopolitan desert of Chicago each of whom feels that he is a victim of a cruel circumstance.
 Last week the farmer had q note from a nephew to say that tie boy would visit the farm on Thursday. Uncle and nephew had not met for tif- teen years and the old man drove to the station in his most uncomfortable coat that he might welcome his sisters child. But the young man failed to arrive. After waiting till the last pas senger had disappeared the old man drove away, disappointed.
 The book agent entered into the dra matis person;p early the next morning. Looking over the top rail of the barn yard gate he called. Hello, uncle.'
 The book agent never got such q re- ception before in all his life. The farm CT flung the gate wide open. seized the agents hand and pressed q whiskered kiss on the ironcad cheek.
 Say, this must be hcavcn.' mur mured the agent following the farmer into the house and explaining that ev- erybody at home was as well as could be expected. Not till the agent was full of boiled dinner and attempted to sell q book did the farmer begin to see dim light. Charged with imper sonatng the missing nephew. the agent explained that he greeted all elderly strangers as 'uncle;;' that he even had a few almost real ones in South Clark street in Chicago
 When last seen by the farmer, the agent was still running. and when the real nephew does come he may find an electric current in the latchstring.- Chicago Tribune.
