meats are apt to be two laxative and
most poultrymen are willing to give.
If a mash is given for one meal, it
should be fed warm, not hot, and the
addition OF a little sulphur will be
found beneficial.
The eggs should be gathered regr-
larly, and frequently if the weather is
cold in order to prevent their being
chilled. While an egg will endure con-
siderable cold, yet even slight chill
may prevent it from Matching, and it
is always better to be safe than to
be sorry" in such matters. The fresh
er the eggs the stronger will be their
fertility. While eggs sometimes will
hatch when six weeks or two months
old, they are much more likely to
hatch if not more than one week
old. If they must be kept, their fer
tility will tend to be preserved by
turning them over every day or two.
If eggs are purchased for Matching
and come from a distance, they should
be unpacked promptly, put in cool
place and allowed to lie undisturbed
upon their sides for from "a to As
hours, according to the distance they
have Travelled, before they are placed
under hen or in a incubator. Expert
ments have shown that the jarring
incidental to travel to some degree dis
places the contents of the eggs and
that period of rest is necessary to
secure the proper readjustment of the
contents. Neglect to give travelled
eggs the requisite rest is probably re-
sponsible for not a few complaints re-
garding their being fertile.
A rotten egg is one that has been
fertile. Not a few complaints are
made that the eggs set were infertile
because after incubation they were
rotten. But their routenness proves
exactly the reverse. An egg which has
never been fertilized will be as odorless
after three weeks incubation as it was
at the start. The sweetness may not
prove that it was never fertilized be-
cause it is possible that fertile eggs
may be so injured that the germ never
starts to grow, but rottenness proves
that there was a germ which began to
grow but died during some period Of
the incubation.-H. S. Babcock, In
American Agriculturist.

A Little Heroine.

1t was cover in Jersey" that little
incident happened a few weeks ago
in which an 11-year-old girl displayed
qualities of character worthy to be
compared with the men who stood by
their posts in the New York tunnel
disaster The girl in question, with
a companion somewhat older than her
self was playing on the ice in the
Raritan canal, near New Brunswick,
when the latter suddenly went down
through an air-hole, says Leslie S
Weekly. No help being in sight, the
younger girl promptly laid down fiat
on the ice around the hole and waited
for her friend to come up, but when
the latter appeared she was too far
away, and her rescuer could not grasp
her Twice the girl sank out of sight,
and when she reappeared, the other
who had commenced to yell Justify for
help, but without changing her posi-
ton, managed to grasp her friends
hair. She could not pull the drowning
girl out Of the water, but she held on
desperately until a man who heard
her cries came up and rescue both.
The water had flowed over the ice
around the hole so tnat the younger
girl was half submerged, and more
than half frozen when help came, but
she did not shrink from her effort, nor
seem to realize that she herself was
in any danger, her only thought being
for her companion, whom she had
snatched from the very jaws of death.

Chiffon roses are no longer lilies OF

especial labor is to hold down the ends

bodice as well as the skirt given dis
tinction by number of full-length

quisitely made in different shades,
catches the end of each strap. Lest it
prove not trustworthy, the strap is also
held some inches above by glittering
rhinestone buckle.

served in specimen book.
Not long after she was a passenger
on one of the ocean liners. Among her
fellow-passenger was a professor in
one of the English universities, and an
acquaintance was formed between the
two. The professor shared to certain
extent her interest in seaweeds, and
one day she was turning over the leaves
cf her specimen book in his company.
Coming to the specimen so strangely
acquired the professor uttered an ex-
clamation.
How did you come by that?" he

THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
Leavenworth Police Think Mrs. Sc

brought the hat and note to the telegraph
office in the Union depot. The police were

War Over Gas Well Stirs Up

Attempt to Pipe Gas from City

SENDS A MAN TO JAIL.

lola, Nov. 19.-The Register has told
before about that gas well in the city of
La Harpe which IS owned by A b. Cock
Grill of Gas City and of the probable rum
lus which would ensue the minute at
tempt was made to pipe the gas away.
Well the attempt was made yesterday and
w. T. Watson. one of IOla's most respect
able citizens, languished for some time in
the cold and cruel city bastile of La
Harpe
The well. it will be remembered. was
drilled by private parties on land they
own in the city of LaHarpe. A fine flow
! of gas was found and after holding the
well some time without finding a buyer
or any use for it the owners sold it to
A. B. Cockerill. who operates the extern
sive smelters at Gas City. There was
something of a rumpus in LaHarpe at
the time of the sale. it being considered
rather disloyal for a LaHarpe to
give the rival town a gas pipe pull on
the gas supply. At the same time scores
of LaHarpe citizens who own lots free
of gas leases, were dreaming of wealth
in the future from one piping of gas from
their premises to factories in the edge of
town. But the city council did not daily.
A meeting was called and an ordinance
promptly passed, forbidding the piping of
gas outside the city limits. The matter
rested there for several months.
The gas well in question is within a
block of the Missouri Pacific right-of-way
and yesterday force of men in charge of
Mr. Watson, who is one of the head men
for Mr. Cockerill. began work in the alley
next the well, digging trench in which to
lay pipe to conduct the gas to the railway
right ofway. The gang had barely got
to work in good shape when someone
noticed them. carried the news to the city
fathers and an officer bumped himself
rapidly to the scene Mr.. Watson, as
chief of the town robber, was placed IN
der arrest and taken to the city lookup.
He remained in durance vile for a short
time and was then turned out on his own
recognizance The preliminary hearing
was set for today.

AUTOMOBILE INVENTION.
Principle of Friction in Transfer of
Power Applied.

Washington, Nov. ia German in
ventor named Maurer has completed an
automobile which he claims solves the
problem of obtaining simplicity, relia-
bility, endurance and good uphill speed
for automobiles, through the application
of the principle of friction in the trans
fer of power.
Consul Monaghan. at Chemnitz, re-
ports to the state department that the
idea which suggested the invention was
taken from coming and paper manufac-
turing machines. in which the transfor-
nation of power is obtained by virtue
of so-called friction wheels. So success
fully did Maurer apply the principle to
automobiles that the Nuremberger Au-
tomobile Manufacturing union has
adopted the invention in the r,eanufac-
well as in business machines carving
power of 10000 pounds.

lands Indian braves are in good condi-
ton and are being put through a good,
stiff course this week preparatory to the
Ottawa game here next Saturday None
were hurt in the Kansas game, not q
substitute going in during the entire
game.
The team seemed to do well with Pc
ter Hauser at fullback and Miguel at
end, and that will probably be the line
up for the remainder of the season.
A game that will be of unusual inter-
est will be the meeting of the Indians
and Bonnie" Owens big Lindsborg
eleven at Kansas City on November 70.
There is talk of changing the Indian
Swede game to Thanksgiving morning
and thus getting action on the big
Thanksgiving crowd. In this case it
would be necessary for Haskell to send
her second team to ST. Louis to play
Washington university on Thanksgiv-
ing.
The Kansas City alumni of Bethany,
who have been largely instrumental in
securing the game, met last evening at
the Coates House to make plans for the
entertainment of the Bethany team and
the rooters who will accompany them
to this city. It was decided to give a
banquet for the Bethany people on the
evening of November 29, the date when
the game is to be played. The place of
holding the banquet will be decided
upon later. 1t is expected that 400 Deo-
pie will come down from Lindsborg to
