THEIR BUSINESS FORWARD
Those Insured in Old Line Companies
viii Get the Cash-Au Are at
Their Old Business.

So far as the results Of the fire are
concerned in dauntiDg the enterprise
and business enthusiasm Of the men
who were burned out, they are without
appreciabIe weight.
The following are those insured in
old line companies and will receive the
cash, aud are now doing business as if
they had never sustained loss:
Mr.. I. ?. Leonard saved his abstract
books, pianos and a large per cent Of
his Office furniture and household ef-
fects, which were IN the lower room.
He was insured for $1,000, which he
will receive; besides he owns nice
dwelling properties which rent well.
Mr.. Leonard is a hustling real estate
agent. He has opened an Office and is
ready to make abstracts. Payment for
his loss will soon be made.
Bower & Son saved a part of their
stock, and we're insured for 81 800.
They have secured a building and are
continuing their business, daily re-
ceiviDg new stock. Bower & Son have
large property interests in Norton and

Selecting winter I.aver-.

There rs quite as much care needed il
the selecting Of the winter layers as is be
slowed upon the selecting Of fowls fol
exhibition or for producing show fowls
There is not the least use to suppose that
any old hen viii lay eggs IN winter. ToC
many people keep over for winter layer.
those that the huckster don't want, yoJ
don't eat, and nobody seems to want
This Is the reason for poor egg-yield il
the winter. Those who have plenty oi
eggs to sell all winter are the ones that
select their winter laying hens.
Hens that uolt late seldom lay during
the following winter. Hens to do well as
winter layers must 60 through the moli
and be done with in time TO gain strength
for winter egg production prior to the
cold days or they cannot get the vitality
necessary for a full winter egg yield
Such may produce q few eggs all through
the winter but they will not produce
enough to pay their keep; oftentimes
however, they do produce the eggs that
you viii use for Matching IN the spring.
From their use you will get a lot Of in
ferior egg-prOducers, for the chick viii
take after the parent bird.
If people would grasp the notion Of
selecting and keeping for their OWE use
the best every time and sll the time, they
would have more eggs in winter, better
chicks IN the spring. better stock to sell
all the time and their ElOclzs would be
better and better each year, but so long
as the huckster, the cook, and the house
wife are allowed to select for killing all
the best as fast as they grow to a proper
size just so long will your flock Of hens
lack the very qualities that are most de-
sirable, because OF the profit they bring.
The way to do is to let the huckster buy
OF the family eat the ones that you do
not wish to keep. Never let them have
the best COckerels nor the best pullets
nor the best1-year- old hens; keep all such
for yourself, OF at least as many Of them
as you viii need for winter use, and clear
out the rest. Those who let the huckster
take away the best will get less each year
out Of their hens, while those who always
keep the best have better TO sell as well
as better to keep each year.

From Foreign Countries.

Every creamery company in Kansas
and every dairy farmer in Kansas is
prosperous
1t is estimated that more feed viii be
put up this summer and fall than ever
before was raised on Kansas farms.
Kansas will send a good delegation to
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
st. Louis. Through the efforts Of Sena-
tor Harris there will be a fine display of
dairy stock from England, France, Den
mark, Germany and other foreign coun-
tries. It will be great opportunity TO
make comparisons between American
bred and foreign bred cattle.
Complete satisfaction in the matter of
tests will never come to the dairyman
until he owns his own hand tester.
Small testers are now being put on the
market and every dairymBn will soon
have one. This will silence forever one
of the greatest causes for trouble both to
the dairyman and the creamery man.
Inquiries are pouring into headquarters
regarding the proposed dairy commits

has had more to do with the muster rolls
OF the Union army than any other official.
came to the conclusion several years ago
that not over 100000 different individuals
were in the Union army from first to last.
Colonel Fox, in his valuable and exhaus-
tive work entitled "Regimental Losses in
the American Civil War;" arrives at the
same conclusion So it will be seen that
General Dudley's estimate is probably near
the fact.
This statement OF General Dudley's is not
his first announcement of his estimate.
since it appears in his report as pension
commissioner in 1852. At that time he con-
suited the records of each State and OBJ
tanned from the Acknowledgement of
States the best information as TO the num-
Der of individuals enlisted. and the aggre-
gate was the figures above given-2,06s,oo
The occasion Of the repetition of these fig
ures was a hearing of a committee of the
Union Veteran Legion on two service PEN
sion bills. General Dudley further stated
to the Senate committee that, by his esti-
mate in 1882, 1850, 900 of the Union soldiers
were alive at that time. In that hearing
General Dudley, without attempting to be
entirely accurate. said that the ordinary
mortuary tables applied to such a class
made the number of survivors in 1882 nearer
100000 than 10000. Applying the ordi-
nary tables of mortality to that number of
survivors in 1882 at their ages must reduce
the number to about 10000 living ex-sol-
diers who served in the Union army. AS
$50, 600 of these survivors are now on the
pension rolls. General Dudley gave it as his
opinion that not over 100000 Union soldiers
are without pensions at the present time
This stimat is probably very near cor
rect. 1t furnishes the basis of the argu-
ment for a DISTINCTLY service pension.

can fancy that those fourteen lines are
the impromptu expression Of a burning
thought. He knows instinctively that in the
authors mind the thought was secondary
to the frame work; that the poet laborious-
ly constructed line by line, then tore his
work apart and began again; that he
racked his brain for the awful number Of
rhymes, and was in despair until he found
them; that when all was complete the set
ting. not the sentiment, was still foremost,
and that the worker was exhausted by
the mechanism of his work. Naturally. a
bookful Of sonnets must create WEAKNESS
in a reader. One at a time is likely to sat
isfy him. He is, as the critic quoted from
says, glad TO meet with one occasionally;
but even then he does not cut it from the
page of magazine or newspaper and lay 1t
aside for second reading. 1t does not cling
to his memory to be recalled with pleasure
in quiet hours. The fact that sonnets have
been written-a few, perhaps, by men or
women of genius-where the thought ruled
the formality of the verse, only empha-
sizes the rule that the ordinary writer
should restrain his ambition in this 'direc-

corner Of the newspapers. and she was as
widely known as any popular novelist OF
this day. OF personal attention she doubt
less received much more than most recent
writers have been favored with. and ii was
of a spontaneous, genuine sort. She was
feted and praised. her society was sought
and she was generally recognized as a
woman of unusual talent-a literary leader.
Her friends were the prominent writers and
editors OF that day, and her acquaintance
included not a few distinguished foreigners.
As early as 1914, when she was but TWEEN
ty-four years Of age. she published a vol
ume of poems; in 1852 a second collection
appeared. She also wrote much prose for
various periodicals. this usually under 9TH
er names than her own, however, and thus
was never collected. For a time she edited
a Cincinnati literary periodical called The
Guest, and no doubt did her part 10 encour-
age the growth of Western literature which
has in recent years won so much notice.
For many years Mrs. Nichols has lived a
retired life in Indianapolis and has done
but little writing. That she has kept IN
touch with the world and with literature,
however, and that her pen has not lost its
skill is shown by these latest ~verses-clear
in thought, fine in diction and beautiful in
finish. In making up the list of poets de-
serving of honor the name of this lady
must be given a high place.
