While all this sidewalk building is
going on. the people should strive to
have as much uniformity as possible,
especially in the width of the walks.
II must be remembered that many Of
our fences are not exactly on the line,
but If all will take their measurements
from the surveyors stakes, which can
be found at every corner, the result
will be that the sidewalks will line up
in neat and satisfactory manner.

Severe on the Negro.

Jap Hale. one Of the most rotund
lawyers of the South McAlester bar,
in conversation with a party of law
yers, made this criticism on the laws
of Arkansas:
Il believe the laws of Arkansas are
too severe on the negco. Why, If he
steals a dollar and a half hog and is
convicted, he goes to the pen for one
to FIVE years. You know very we'll a
negro can't help stealing a hog any
more than he can keep from stealing a
chicken or carrying a razor. II God
Almighty made him that way. Mr. Ne
gro should not be made spend his life
in disgrace and hardship for doing
what he can't KEEP from doing be-
lieve thirty days is long enough to
give a negro for hog stealing"

CHICKENS WORRY THE FARMERS
cornfields Near Higgins, Texas, Said
to Be a Hunters Paradise.

~ - a iRhHNNi . a. ahlaNs
Prairie chickens are a pest in the
vicinity Of Higgins, Texas, said w
G. Quidd of the Panhandle town.
Hunters experience rare sport. but
the birds multiply faster than the
farmers and hunters can work and the
result is that in the fall the young
birds make sad havoc in the kanr corn
fields. They pay no attention TO
scarecrows and when a flock is dis
.turbed the chickens, when they arise,
appear at a distance to be a heavy
rain cloud. so thick are they under
stand that twenty brace will be
shipped to Kanas City in the hope
that they will thrive and multiply in
the woods and fields of Jackson coun-
ty In one year the strangers should
have from 800 to 400 young and good
shooting afforded favored hunters"

squatted.
Its head was poked under the bot
tom trunk and it crouched in the bliss
ful belief that because its head was
hidden it could not be seen, as much
like an ostrich as if it had been hatched
in South Africa. Burney could have
blown the bird to bits. He walked
forward. and hearing him close be-

back and flushed not ten feet away.
To avoid breaking it in two Burney
waited until il had gone 25 yards, then
held directly on it and pulled the trig-
fired the left barrel with a like result.
The turkey sailed on for a half mile
and whizzed into some woods on the
far side of the field.
Showing new shells into his gun and
saying things, Burney followed. The
setter got TO the woods before he did
and disappeared. Three minutes after
ward the dog was lost as well as the
turkey.
Burney whistled and searched to no
purpose. Concluding that the dog had
become bewildered and had taken the
back track for home, he gave up the
chase.
Fifty yards distant was a brushy
tree top that had been severed from a
fallen trunk, and Burney thought that
he might as well have look into il
on the chance that the turkey had
hidden in il and he might get another
shot. He approached the tree top

into it.
There, completely shielded by the
branches, was the setter. rigidly point
