FINDS HIS PRODIGAL WIFE.
peen Into Slot Machine Gave Kansas
Man His Ciew.

Denver. Col. Sept. 21.-F. Lea
man. OF CoffeyviIle, Kan, left for his
home yesterday, the happiest man in
town. He had Just found his wife
after a long search through half a
dozen cities
Last March his wife left home with
out any apparent reason. Tempo
rarv insanity was put down as the
causa and the search began. Leaman,
who is a brickmaker by trade, traced
his wife to st. Joseph, where the trail
was lost. He searched for her In
Kansas City without effect and then
went home. Three weeks ago he re-
turned to Kansas City and was look
ing in a slot machine when he saw
picture of his wife.
1t had been put into the machine
by Chicago firm, and there Leaman
went. He found that the picture had
been taken in Cripple Greek Leaman
telegraphed DR.. Wollgast, a mind
specialist OF Coffeyville. to meet him
in Cripple Creek. The two found that
Mrs. Leaman had left Cripple Greek
for Denver After two days search
in Denver they accidentally met her
on the street Sunday last.
The woman. who is quite pretty,
was overjoyed on seeing her husband
and asked to be taken home at once.
She declares that she has spent days
at a time looking over the maps in
the hope that she could recOllect what
town she was from, but without
avail. She says she has been acting
as a trance medium in vaudeville
shows and has made good wages,
but has lost many good positions
because she was constantly forget
ting where she was employed. DR..
Wollgast declares it Il very strange
case, but believes the woman will re-
gain her mind.

Bourbon County Politician "agered
$1,000 on Losing Man.

Fort Scott, Kan, Sept. 37--Jona-
than NJ. Davis. the young farmer
pOlitician Of this county who repre-
sented his district in the last leglsia-
ture. and who has been spoken OF as
a fusion candidate for congress from
the second congressional district, has
caused the arrest of l. b. b. Gillette,
the Webb City foot racer, on the
charge of swindling him out OF 3, 600
on foot race.
Warrants are out for several other
we'll known moneyed sporting men,
who are charged with completely in
the game. Gillette was arrested yes
terday at Bronson and il now in jail
here, under -, 900 bond. The game
at which the usually shrewd young
farmer was worked is said to have
been extensively practiced by an or
ganization of sporting men at Webb
City, and he has engaged attorneys
j. [. Sheppard and ". W. Padgett
to assist in repairing his financial
damages, which with other reyerses
on his ranch nave wrecked him and
LETT him practically penniless.
He was induced, under the pretense
that he would make some OF the
money that Others were to wager on
a foot race, to bet $4,000 on the
race which took place at Webb City
on August / OF the amount ST.
500 was put up by the men whom he
charges were in on the gigantic
fraud, and 1000 OF it was money
which he borrowed from bank. 1t
it one of the most remarkable stories
heard OF here, but is said to have
parallels in many instances in which
the victims were office holders, bank
ers, etc, who could not afford to
"squeal."

Webb City saloon keeper named Bob

newspapers at their request that they

Houston, Texas, Sept. 26.-There
are now tifty-nine gushers in the
Texas oil field at Beaumont, and
about sixty more wells are being

600 barrels OF petroleum a day from

lost by wild wells, fully 1000, 900
barrels of oil have been wasted in

of his catlike activity and phenomenal

He was enyied by his classmen, less for

seniors, and-oh! supreme pinnacle of joy
he was praised by the coach! Still he was
not happy.

Barnes. Here you are the only freshman
who has ever made quarter on our varsity

game of the season on our hands, and not

around the edge uncovered by the card.
Turn the glass upside down and place 1t on
the top of the glass containing claret and
adjust the glasses so that their edges meet
exactly all the way around. Now move the
card slightly to one side, so that there will
be little space at one side of the glasses,
inside, uncovered by the card. At once
thin stream of claret will begin to rise
through this space, not mixing with the
water at all, but with its edges clear and
sharply defined. The water too, will begin

As the Thanksgiving dinner is drawing to
a close and the dessert is being eaten, very
slowly, indeed because of all the good
things that have gone before, the time is
ripe for one or two clever tricks that can
be played with ordinary table articles, and
Won may be sure that every one at the table
will enjoy them immensely.
Here is a trick that is always effective,
and, while it is very simple, indeed, still It
is bound to appear just wee bit mysterious
and many, especially your little brothers
and sisters, will be unable to explain it.
Take two ordinary claret glasses; fill one
to the brim with claret and the other equally
full with clear water. Cover the top Of the
glass containing water with an ordinary

water, presents a beautiful effect, and in
moment the claret will begin to spread about
the top of the upper glass like the unfold
ing of red rose and the water will spread
in the bottom Of the lower glass. The two
fluids will not mix, but will present a de-
lightful contrast Of red and white with
sharply defined edges.
In very short time the claret and water
will have changed places, the claret being
in the upper glass and the water In the
lower This is due to the difference in
weight of the liquids; the water. being the
heavier, forces itself into the lower glass
and portion Of the cnret is moved up to
take the place Of the descending water.
