Wichita and Sedgwick county are GER

ing from the amount of taxes paid into
the county treasurer's Office during the
month Of November for the past five
years. People come into the Office and
want to pay their taxes long before they
are due, and on the first day that the
treasurer can receive taxes there is a
big line of people ready with the money.
During the month Of November the clerks
in that Office are worked for all they are
worth making out tax receipts. Every
body has money and plenty Of it. Kansas
and Sedgwick county have had two good
wheat crops and the farmers received a
good price for their product. There has
been three good corn crops. and although
the farmers are not feeling bad and none
of them are bowling about hard times.
Wichita is enjoying a great boom, and
in the great number of instances the
houses that are bing built are TO be

Christmas story does not prevail, but
in it's place has come the story of

best work of the best writer's is used
in these special numbers rather than

this number appear such authors as

FOE OF THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
Beetle Found In China Which Will Vaa.
quiSh Pest.

4uioN VoAs
The officials of the Agricultural De
partment, including Secretary Wilson
are much gratified to know that they
have, after many years of effort, dis
covered sure remedy for the ravages
of the troublesome little San Jose scale
an insect which has done much damage
to fruit trees 10 all parts OF the coun
try, and that there will soon be under
acclimatization and propagation in this
country lady bird beetle, imported
from China, which, it is declared, de
YOURS the San Jose scale in great mum
bers and thereby checks its devasta
tions.
Some years ago there waF located in
Australia parasite which lives on a
certain scale that infests the fruit trees
of that country, and some Of these bet
| ties were brought to the United States
| and placed in orchards containing the
San Jose scale. The taste of the bugs,
however, proved very capric1ous, for
| they would not eat the San Jose scale
at all, and pined and died for want of
their accustomed Australian diet. Thus
one hope of the fruit growers was
blasted, and they resorted again in the
spraying of trees with chemicals to
kill the pesky little insects-an effica ci
GUS but very expensive method.
DR.. l.. &. Howard, Chief of the Divi-
sion of Entomology of the Agricultural
Department., continued his investiga-
tions, trying to locate the country from
which the San jose scales were first
imported into the United States, be-
lievlng that when he found the insect
on it's native heath he would find there
also it's mortal enemy. About a year
ago he made up his mind that the scale
came originally from Japan, and he
accordingly sent DR.. G. l.. Marlett, As
sstant Chief of the Division of Ento-
mology, to that country to make inves-
LEGATIONS.
DIR. Marlett proceeded to Japan, and
after five months work discoved the
San Jose scale there, but no insect that
devoured it. He became convinced
that the scale had been imported to
Japan from the United States, and that
the original habitat of the mite was
in China.
From Japan he went to the Celestial
country. and wor1 has just been re.
ceived from bim there that on the sun
ny slopes of the fruit growing country
south of the Great Wall he has located
the San Jose scale in the ancestral
home, and that living with it he found
the lady bird, which eats it SO rapa
ciously that the damage it has time to
do the fruit trees amounts to compare
lively little. DR.. Marlett is quite sure
that he has located the original home
of the scale and its natural enemy, for
the reason that they were found where
nothing but native Chinese fruits were
eyer grown, and where no foreign fruits
were ever imported.
Dr. Marlett is now on his way home
from the East with a plenteous supply
of the little beetles, which may be the
means of saving American fruit grow
ers millions of dollars.

a MODERN FAIRY.
Or Else the Stories About Her Are In
Some Respects Inaccurate.

some h6SpeCtS Inaccurate.
The name, at any rate, has at last
been discovered of the mysterious and
beautiful lady who, as recorded in the
Express a week or SO ago, has lately
been making her home on the seashore
in lonely spot on the Argylishire
coast. She is Miss Margaret Mac
Dougal. But at that point information
ceases. Young and singularly attrac-
tive, with great masses of brown hair
worn loose over her shoulders or light
ly tied with piece of ribbon, she has
been residing on the Ardmaddy beach
at high water mark without shelter
and without food of any kind save
shellfish. She sleeps on the grass and
declines all offers of food, clothing or
money. The most extraordinary
stories are current about the fair un-
known, of which the following-suppli-
ed by local correspondent-ar fair
sample:
when at LEISURE" the correspond
ent says, "she knlts and knits, and the
ball of worsted never seems to decrease
in size. She talks English and Gaelic
fuently, and even converses in several
other languages. to suit the person
talking to her. She has been photo
graphed several times, but none of the
photographs seem alike, and she does
mot appear to everybody the same.
ITO some she appears to be about
twenty four years of age and to others
about double that age. She gives her
name as Margaret MacDougal, but
!, nothing is known as to where she comes
from. Ardmaddy. where she resides
has been always famous as the
rendezvous of fairies. Nearly are Dun
na-teine and Creag an Fharaldh, places
famous as the haunts of those spirits
/. that influence men for good or i'll. To
| this place, it is believed. she retires at
: night. There sic gets news of all that
! will transpire the following day. She
, has thorough knowledge of the Scrip
: lures and has a great hatred of the
. clergy. "-London Daily Express.

ROOSEVELT'S PLAN.

President Roosevelt, according tt
the belief of many politicians in Wash

build up a Roosevelt machine in the
country, which will bepowerful enough
to nominate him for President in the
next Republican national convention
The President realizes that the real ma

Senator Hanna is not his political
friend that Senator Platt forced him
upon the ticket as the vice presidential
candidate In order to get him out of
New York politics, where he was a dis.
turbing factor for the Repu blican Or
ganization. Therefore, in the matter
of appointments, it would not be in
the nature of Roosevelt to turn to his
enemies, and be is breaking away from
the machine with rapidity that is at

the best-informed circles that Kerens

will have slapped five national CON-
