SOME FUNNY KANSAS POLITICS.

The gossip political circles at Topeka that Cover
nor-eect Bailey retiring Governor Stanley and Mort
Albaugh have held threecornered meeting and decided
that the senatorial matter should enter into the
speakership contest sounds little In such con-
necton the announcement made that J. T Pringe an
unknown Usage county man. had been selected by the
trio for the speakershp Prnge may be the best timber
Offering and it might be wise to steer clear Of senatorial
complications in the organization Of the legislature
But have the candidates for the been heard FROM
As big majority the legislature are friends OF one or
the other of these candidates may they not want say?
Another funny thing comes from the senator from
Doniphan county who in counting on dead lock ana
locking for dark horse declares that he is in favor Of
Dave Mulyane NJ A Low Willis J. Bailey His
preference seems to be for Topeka but evidently
not for Curtis Mr. Bailey was elected governor with
no ntmaton to the people that he would be candidate
for the u s senate this winter As for MI. Low and
Dave MuIvane their names not mentioned in such
connection
Between now and the second week in January great
many grand stand pieces VIII be played by the perform
ers at Topeka nine out of which win be of utter
insignifcance AS for the speakershp, Baker of Law
renee is the logical candidate is tied the
senatorial question AS for dark horses they may be
numerous but not one all likely to show up
il the race dark horse to be successful will have to be
superior to any those already entered that is not only
in the estimation OF himself friends but superior
in the estimation of the people Such horse cannot
be very readily pointed out much less successfully
groomed.
Another funny thing in Kansas politics, funny that
it well nigh amounts tragedy is the official announce
ment Of the death CT the Pop party made by Senator
Harris idol Of the political revoluonsts who swept

Her Complaint.

Jane was a patient in one of the
large public hospitals. She boasted a
cough which was more than suspected
to be a fake cough rather than
bronchial or pulmonary.
The kindly young physician in
charge of the ward allowed her some
harmless remedies. One day he said
to her:
"Ah, Jane, fear you are a bad case
Of hypochrondriav
els that it, docther?" said Jane,
much impressed.
The next morning there she was
again, asking for her little dose.
'I'm very bad with it the day, doc
ther''
"With what?" asked the doctor.
ovid what We were namin' for me
yestiddy," she replied. ut gave me no
peace at all last night

With a Grain of Salt.

The earliest record Of the saying,
with grain of SALT" dates back to
the year 63 B. c., when the great Pom
pey entered the palace of Mithridates
and discovered among his private pa
pers the description of an antidote
against poisons of all sorts, which was
composed of pounded herbs. These, ac-
cording to the recipe, were to be taken
with a grain of salt Whether this was
meant seriously or as a warning sar-
casm is not known, but thencefOrth it
became the custom to say that doubt
full preparations should be taken with
a grain Of salt.
From this the meaning got trans
ferred to sayings of doubtful truth.
''Attic salt" was Greek synonym for
wit or penetration, and the Latin word
'sal' had somewhat of the same mean
ing. 1t is thus easy to see how the
saying, "Cum grano salis," could have
come to mean the necessity Of acce vt
ing doubtful or suspicious statements
with grain of salt"

Prairie Flowers of Fancy.

A brief for the state In an early Ne
braska case INDUCES in the following
prairie flowers of fancy:
plaintiffs in error are afraid that the
honor and dignity of the state will suf-
fer, and they invoke for the claimants
broad principles of natural equity and
the claim that neither the laws gov
erning courts nor the constitution ap-
plies to them. The logical sequence is
this-that persons who hold claims
against the state are a favored class,
who can alone make wings Of Justice
and right to fly to that mystic region
above and beyond the trammelS of law,
and where such unjust things as con-
tracts and written constitutions do not
exist, but where for them a straight
and narrow pathway leads to the treas
ury, whose doors, without stint or de
lay, turn softly on golden hinges to adj
NIT them. Yet if | do not very much
mistake this court these wings will
unfeather in their fight, and claimants
against the state must fall to common
level with all other litigants and stand
up to the rack where is fed that good
old fodder of Justice and right as ad-
miniStered by our courts"

that the play was one of Dumas own,

in the stalls was overpowered by sleep.

with infinite satisfaction, tapping Du-

The Oriental and His Rugs.

A recent writer on oriental rugs says
that there Is no arbitrary test by which
an inexperienced person can tell gen
uine rug from bogus one. Knots and
strands mean nothing except in con-
nection with other important elements.
Shades and spots are initiated. Wash
ing the rug to discover If it has been
painted over with brush and water
color frequently leads only to the dis
covery Of bad spot in an otherwise
fine rug. The oriental dyer does his
work according to his own sweet will.
Between the puffs Of q cigarette and
the gossip of his friends he dips his
material in the dye tub. Only the ex-
pert knowledge Of the old rug buyer
can be depended on. These buyers go
to the great fairs ON the edge Of the
desert, where once year the men Of
the east gather to haggle together.
Sometimes western buyers push into
Persia and the Caucasus to search out
rare weaves in the homes Of the weav-
ers, but the venture is always attended
with some danger from native hostil-
ity. It is said that the annals of COM
merce contain greater romances than
We're ever woven around tales of war.

There is nothing suggestive of Christ
mas in the mild and sunny November
which Lancaster has been enjoying of
late. Yet this is the time when wise
women do their Christmas shopping.
The stocks are in. There is a larger
variety to choose from than there will
be later and there is not the tremen-
dous pressure at the counters which
there will be when the crowds begin
to buy. Moreover, it is highly probable
that meteorological conditions may
make going down town a less comfort
able undertaking three weeks hence
than it is now. The wise Christmas
shopper thinks ahead and seizes the

CARIBOU MURDER.
The Newfoundland Fishermen XIII
Hundreds For Sailing.

Hundreds For Sailing.
Newfoundland is probably the only
country in the world where yenison,
sailed or fresh, is a staple article of
diet for the masses.
The coast folk make their plans with
method and elaboration.
From the harbors where they reside
they go in their boats to the rivers and
fiords which strike into the interior.
When navigation is no longer possible
they debark and continue on foot to
the deer country. They carry barrels
filed with salt and sometimes go in
large companies. When the rendezvous
is reached, they camp. They ambush
themselves along promising ''lead' or
deer track, armed with long six foot
muzzle loading sealing guns, which
they charge with about "eight fingers"
of coarse gunpowder and "slugs" Of
lead, fragments Of iron or bits OF rusty
nails, whichever they may have. They
fire point blank into herd Of caribou
as it passes and, being usually good
shots, contrive to kill almost anything
they aim at or to wound it so badly
with these dreadful missiles that it
soon collapses. Then they skin and cut
up the meat, for these men know lit
tie of every trade, and pack it in the
barrels, with the salt as preservative.
