A CHICAGO man, Mr.. Stahl, with
good intentions but singularly limited
knowledge of some things, sprung on the
Farmers National Congress at Macon an
elaborate paper to prove that women
ought to learn farming, and ,cayprted
around as if he had CONCEIVED an immortal
idea which would send his name bouncing
down the corridors of fame like 'aa golf
ball with an amateur behind it. And yet
the first recorded instance of women's ac-

Wednesday. Oct. 8.
Wednesday was the eliminating point
of the great Encampment: the day which
the veterans set apart for their re-march
down tie Avenue. In honor of the event,
the Government offices closed aud sent
their thrOngs to crowd the streets. This
time the comrades were not SO well repre-
sented in the double wall of faces which
lined the ropes, for they had important
business elsewhere. But there was gen.
erous sprinkling of theni-men who did
not care to march, for one reason or. an
other. In Il way it was fortunate, be-
cause the line of parade was seemingly
endless without them. For hours and hours
the long array went past, river of blue uni

A Story OF Deep Revenge.

Leavenworth Life: A good story is
going the rounds on the late Fred
Harvey. Everyone knows that the
regular price of meal in any of the
numerous Harvey eating houses is 10
cents 1t happened that a travelling
town and entered the eating house and
ordered meal. Thel young man in
charge explained that the larder had
been unavoidably depleted of all but
some boiled beans. After expressing
his opinion the traveller ate his fill of
beans and asked for his bill. 1t was
seventy-fve cents, and in a minute he
was roaring mad. During the contro-
versy that followed Fred Harvey him
self came into the room and the matter
was referred to him. AS a result the
traveller got so huffy that Harvey
made him pay tho rs cents. AS his
train was ready to pulllo thetraveling
man had no time for further argument,
but as he went out the Eoor he eX-

Gold to the amount of Sll0 was

urday while it lay on the table before

arrested at Gas City and after little

of the money which he had concealed
in his mouth.
The action Of the affair was rapid
and exciting. Martin and some friends
were sitting about a table talking.
Some one asked for change for bill

slip five twenty dollar gold pieces and
one ten out of the purse. Martin re-
placed his purse in his pocket, Caron
departed and that seemed to end the
story.
This happened about 8 o'clock. II
was not long before Martin discovered
his loss and informed the police. he
Immediately suspected Caron and after
little search in town martin and the
officers went to Gas City. There they
located Caron who denied all guilt
He refused to be searched without n
warrant. The party took Caron with
them and went to the office of Justice
of the Peace, where "a warrant was
prepared. Then the search was made
but nothing was found except foul
dollars in silver.
When they came to the Office Caror
had asked for chew of tobacco. Be
fore any ybody could accommodate him
however, in case anybody so desired,
he added that he had some of his owr

cheek. The search revealed no money
This angered Martin, for he felt SURE
Caron was guilty, and he grabbed
him by the throat and showed hin
across the table, choking him severely
