All About Patelias.

There is boy scholar in one of the
downtown grammar schools who has set
his teacher wondering whether he is one
of the unsophisticated students of the age
or real humorist. At a recent monthly
examination of the questions in
physiology the pupils were called upon
to answer was: - What is the patella or
knee pan ?' The answer of young inno-
cent or joker was follows: ssThe
patellas or knee pants lis trousers which
extend from the waste to the knee, and
were wore by grown up men during
George Washington's administration
They are not wore by men in the present
time except bicycle riders and men who
play golf, but only worn by small
boys. Every boy is glad when he is old
enough to take off his pantellas or knee
pants and go into long pants which ex-
tend from the waste to the ankle.''-

Long Distance Telephone.


Kinsley Mercury
kinsley Telephone Company has con-
cluded to spread out with a view to ulti-
mately getting state connections. Mater
ial has been ordered for a line from KIN
sley to Lewis. From that point it will
probably run to Fellsburg taking in on
the way all farmers who desire connec-
tion with kInsley. Larned is building to
Great Bend where they get the regular
long distance connection all over the
state. If proper arrangements can be
made larned will build to Garfield and
Kinsley the same and we shall then be
able to talk with nearly all the large
towns of the state. tits needless to point
out what a great convenience the tele-
phone system in this country will be.
Farmers by being in touch with the mar
ket here cannot only save travel but
make money by knowing when to bring
their stuff to market. They can tell in
advance what prices are for the day. As
it is now they bring the grain produce
and having it here feel compelled to take
today's market rather than haul it home.
With telephone connections they can sell
the stuff before they start. Frequently
they make long trips in here for coal, and
find none on hand or they are expecting
machinery repairs, and make two or
three useless trips before it arrives. In
thousand ways, in sickness and health
it will be invaluable. The Kinsley system
has grown to 60 phi ones and it is doubtful
if any subscriber would be willing to sur
render his phone for good deal more
than it costs him. If we can secure long
distance connection it will be of great
value. We can get ten minutes talk with
Topeka, Kansas City or Emporia for 20
cents, and thus frequently save a railroad
trip occupying two days.

DR.. koen's Big Lake.

f. B. Koen who is constructing the
big lake near Great Bend, Kansas, for ir-
rigation purposes, says the work is almost
done.
The lake is seven miles wide, ten miles
long and Will contain thirty feet of water.
1t is to receive its supply from the Arkan-
sas river. It will be finished in time to
supply enough water to raise good crops
on 600, 900 acres of land next summer,
whether it rains in Western Kansas or
not.
ssWe have had almost constant ltiga-
ton ever since we began work on the
pro ject,'' said Mr.. Koen, s.but guess it
is finally ended. Unless new complica-
tfons arise shall be able to complete
the work by the early part of summer
1t would have been done years ago if we
had not been interfered with
The lake is believed to be one of the
largest ever constructed ia the world for
irrigation purposes 1t will have cost
when finished, $50 900. The water will
be conveyed to the farms on which it is
applied through bitches. and an acreage
charge will be made for its use.

Search for Coronado's Treasures.

A Topeka telegram to the Denver News
gives bit OF history that may be inter
esting to those who want to know some
thing of the early exploration of the
plains:
The first piece of ind1sputabIe evidence
that Coronado, the Spanish explorer,
crossed the plains of Kansas in his search
for the seven golden cities in 1910 was
found this week near Cimarron, Gray
county, by w. E. Richey, an archaeolo-
gist of Harveyville. The evidence is a
straight sword blade about three feet long
and near where the hilt formerly Joined
the blade is carved the name Juan Gal
goHzwhich is the name of one of Coro-
nado's captains that exploration.
Besides his name there is a Spanish in
scription of some length engraved on the
blade, but this is too badly rusted to be
decIpherabIe. The blade was found
about thirty miles north of the Arkansas
river. 1t was buried in the roots of an
oldtree stump which was several feet be
low the surface of the ground.
While there was only very meager
assortment of evidence to prove it, it has
been contended by many writer's that the
Spanish explorer came north into Kansas
until he reached the present site of Dodge
CITY, From there he was believed to
have followed the Arkansas east thirty
miles, from where he went north to near
the Nebraska line Some historians
claim that he went through Colorado on
his return route and others declare that
he went as far east the Missouri river.
The finding of the sword in Gray county
proves that he took more direct route
for old Mexico than is generally suppos-

Revival in School.

Selma, Ind, March ia revival has
been in progress in the Methodist Epis-
copal church for some time and in the
list of new conversions there were several
of the high school pupils. While the
school was getting down to the opening
work.today the newly converted students
began praying and singing. The teach
ers endeavored to restore quiet but
failed.
The pupils from the various rooms in
the buinding began congregating and,
books and lessons were quickly put aside.
Then mourners' bench was constructed
and a student hastily dispatched for a
minister. Three ministers responded,
with several church workers. A meet
ing was soon in progress and before the
school was dismissed fifteen students
had become converted and were shouting
like mad.
The church people consider it a great
triumph The school will stay closed
until the pupils become caImer.

the slow shutting tread of age, and sub
ordinate duties and pleasures to the
capricious whims Of second childhood.
The difference in these two old men is
simply difference of health. The one
old man is hale and hearty, enjoys his
food, sleeps soundly, and keeps his grip
on public affairs. The other old man is
weak and feeble, his appetite and diges-
ton are poor, his sleep is unsound, he
has no interest in life or affairs save as
his personal comfort may be affected.
Healthy old age, whether in man or
woman, is largely a question of sound
stomach and pure, rich blood. To pre-
serve this condition nature generally
needs some assistance, in order to get
rid of the accumulations of waste, effete
and poisonous substances which tend
to clog the body and impede the circu-
lation. 1t is also needful to keep the
stomach and digestive and nutritive
tracts in a healthy condition, in order to
properly nourish the body.
HEALTH IN OLD AGE
can, therefore, best be enjoyed by the
use of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. This medicine cures diseases of
the stomach and other organs of diges-
ton and nutrition. 1t enables the per-
feet digestion and assimilation of the
food upon which physical strength de-
ponds. 1t cleanses the blood of clog
cling and poisonous matter, and by in
creasing the activity of the blood-making
glands, increases the supply of pure.
rich blood, which is the final form OF
nutrition and the life of the whole phys.
ical man.
