When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is 50 perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Brute Intelligence.

? A neighbor was telling about a
horse he has, which goes to the
hydrant in the barfvard, and if
there is no water in the tub,
turns9he water on by taking the
faucet in his teeth. WaltCornell
said that reminded him of the
Illinois mule which, being thirsty
and finding no water except that
in headed up barrel, pulled the
plug out of the barrel and slak-
ed his thirst at the bunghole.
Walt did not think that was very
strange, but mighto have been if
the mule had pulled the bung-
hole out of his thi7 gAand slaked
the BARI ~ plug; or
plugged his slake with the bung-
Role and barrelled his thirst; or
had thirsted his bung with his
sl4kehole and pulled the barrel
with the plug; or had plugged
his bunghole0with the BARREL and
pulled the slake out of his
thirst; or even ii he had pulled
his slake out OF the barrelhole
and bunged his THIRST with the
plug, without having barrelled
his thirsthoie or bunged hisplug-
hole, or pulled his slakehole, OF
but then there are several
things that dodgasted mule
might have done that would
have looked strange.

A MYSTERY SOLVED.

/ Those peculiar smacking sounds
heard over town the past week
were the result of mistletee
I-Hoisington Dispatch.
! Gosh-all-Fridayl is that so!
We're those sounds really the re
verberations of oscillatory indul-
gence3 on the part of Hoisington
Igirls and boys, superinduced by
more or less voluntary place
ment of the form female under
the mistletoe bough? Well, we'll
be dad burned! No wonder the
average railroad man don't stay
in Hoisington longer than a viii p
stitch.
We heard those peculiar smack
ing sounds clear oveg here at the
county seat, and great was the
speculation as to what caused
them. Some thought it must be
the new switch engine popping
off; Others thought it might be a
Hoisington school-marm lam
bastings the kids with a barrel
stave. One old campaigner
seemed to have solved the n1ys-
teryoof the sound when he stated
that it must be Dave Gray pull
ing corks. Our idea was that the
peculiar noises that every north
wind winged across the bleak
Cheyenne during. the past week
emanated from the back end of
some grocery store where Col.
Sowards was telling some good
old temperance story and spit
ting on the red-hot stove. AS
sound travels faster than smell,
we expected the latter later on.
Or we thought perhaps the smell
was being bottled upoto be used
o.y JIG col III his Next letter co
the Beacon.
Butnow all speculation is off.
The Dispatch says it was only
the sounds of kissing g.5madepos-
sible in that dry town by the ad-
vent of the mistletoe.

A Tradgedy of the Woods.

Asstory which comes from the
Adirondack region is werthy of a
place among Mr.. Seton Thomp-
sons romances of animals. A
young woman staying at one of
the hotels VENT for a walk one
day and wandered off into the
woods, where she lost. herself.
Searching parties were sent out
for her as soon as she was missed,
of course, but the Adirondack
mountains are rather extensive
territory over which to hunt one
small woman, and seriousness
was added to the situation by
the fact that cold weather had
set in and the wandere1.was like
ly to die of cold il not from hun
GER before she could be found.
Finally, howevere she was dis
covered, safe and well though
much,exhausted by her journey
ings; and the story she told was
as strange as anythingin fiction.
When utterly worn out and
chilled, she had encountered a
deer, who seemed to take in the
fact that she was, if not his own
sort. at least a afeliOW-creature IL
distress. He stood by her 6
moment as she lay ON the GROUND
and then laid himself down be
side her, where the warmth o
his body kept her from freezing
as effectually as a fire would
When the searching party wa
heard approaching, he started
up and stood at bay, and wa
shot where he stood. There i

be amply sufficient, that when
the regular British army got
j down there these Dutch farmers
would scatter like sheep before
| them-there would be no. war
whatever worthy of the name.
They have been required to put
in the field over 100000 men
more than England has mar
shalled at any one time in her
history; her greatest armies are
now in the field against the few
despised Dutch farmers.
= II do not say this to underate
the English people. They are a
brave people but they undertook
an unrighteous and iniquitous
war in which the hand of man
and the law of Heaven is against
them. They said it would not
cost more than $50, ,O00,O 900. 1t
has cost up to this time 81 ,0OO,-
600, 900. Besides British securi-
ties have shrunk another 81 ,OOO,-
600, 900. 1t is costing now ST. :
900, 900 a day. 1t has cost
England more than either of her
wars with this country. More
than the Crimean war and near
ly as much as the Napoleonic
wars. England would willingly
quit if she could know that the
matter would drop out of human
memory; that she would not be
laughed at, scorned, dispised.
But she insists that she must go
on to show the mettle. John
Morley, q Member of Parliament
reminds the government that
nothing is SO bad as mettle in a
blind horse.

SUGAR BEETS IN KANSAS.

City to the Topeka State Jour
nal, under date Dec. 9th, says o
the sugar beet industry in Kan
sas:
Many people are making in
quiry in regard to the growing
J OF sugar beets in this state. The
people ofothe upper Arkansas
valley about one year ago made
contracts with the American Beet
Sugar company of Rocky Ford
Col, to grow beets for their fac
tory in the counties of Finney,
Kearney, and Hamilton. There
were contracts made to grow
about 500 acres Of beets. But
owing to the late startthe grow
ers got in the spring the full
acreage was not planted or grown
but about $50 acres were grown
in the state along this valley
but less than 400 acres Were har-
vested. 1t was a new thing to
the people and they therefore
had everything to learn in be-
ginning to grow this crop.
While the growers Of Kansas have
made little or no profit this year,
with possibly some exceptions)
yet they are satisfied with the
experiment made, and many will
double the acreage fol-. another
year. In growing the crop inthe
past year many obstacles came
upp to contend with that the
grower in another season will be
able to overcome more readily.
To start with many are manur-
ing their ground now, irrigating
and blowing, Q narrowing. and
leveling.their plats for next spring
planting. Two very essential
things in growing beets success
fully here is first to plow deep
aud tt,,1en plant deep, also pissnt
early. In Finney county there.
was harvested 247 acres. The
lowest tonnage per acre was one
and a half tons, the highest was
l6 tons and 500 pounds per
acre, making the gross proceeds
for the lowest IS per acre, while
that aof the highest brought
$75.17. The lowest per cent of
sugar shown in this county as
given by the factory was 1903
per cent, the highest being 2f.o7
per cent. What we need in the
Arkansas valley in western Kan
sas is more people who wish to
make homes for themselves.
Good beet land can be bought
for $40, $50 and up to $25 in the
valley that we think has better
sugar producing properties than
the land has in the sugar dis
tricts in Colorado. Our land is
easier worked, is more level and
better adapted to. irrigation and
can be bought for one-siXth the
price at present. Land in the
sugar belt of Colorado that is
anything like equal cto ours for
cultivation of beets is today sell
ing ae 800 per acre and up
wards. This at once shows to
any thinking man that western
Kansas is the place to make a
home.
Kansas by nature is supplied
as no other state is with the
underfow of water in depth from
6 to 10 feet from the surface.
Example: Take 10 acres of land,
$50 per acre, 5000; put a pump
ing plant in at cost of 800;
total 5000. making it cost $50
per acre; this makes him home
and he absolutely controls dis
ewn water right This is the
kind of farms and homes we want
To obtain a sugar factory
within the state it is only neces
sary for the people in western
Kansas to supply the amount o
acreage that is needed to run {
