Hot Winds in Kansas.

Topeka. Kan. April 2O.--A dry. hot
wind drouth has swept over Kansas
since early this morning. doing much
damage to vegetation of all kinds.
Those Interested say the wind has
done incalculnble harm to the wheat,
and that unless rain comes within two
days the wheat crop will amount TO
very little. The ground is becoming
dry and hard. This is an unusual
condition for an early spring month In
Kansas.

Better Than Pills,

The question has been asked. 'In
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to pills?'
Our answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more gentle
and mild In effect and more reliable as
they al always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in a
natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by

SPLENDID BLUNDERS.
Some Errors That Have Been Per.
petrated by the Types.

Some Errors That Have Been Per-
petrated by the Types.
Errors of the press often begin with
errors Of reporters who have misunder-
stood spoken words. The rule Of fol-
low copy compels the compositor to re-
peat the exact words written by the
reporter, and the following blundcrs
are the result of obedience to this rule.
A speaker made this statement:
''In these days clergymen are expect
ed to have the wisdom and learning of
Jeremy Taylor" But the reporter
wrote and the compositor repeated
"the wisdom and learning Of jour-
neyman tailor"
Another speaker quoted these lines:
Oh, come, thou goddess fair and free.
In heaven yclept Euphrosyne.
They were printed as written:
Oh, come, thou goddess fair and free,
In heaven she crept and froze her knee.
Another orator quoted this line from
Tennyson's "Locksley Hail."
Better fifty years Of Europe than a cycle
of Cathay.
But the quotation was written and
printed: 49,.
Better fifty years of Europe than a circus
in Bombay.
One Of the worst perversions Of a
hackneyed quotation, incorrectly given
by the speaker, is this, which seems to
be the joint work of the jealous re-
porter and the equally reckless printer:
Anxious Plato. amicus Socrates. sed major
veritas.
I may cuss Plato, 1 may cuss Socrates;
said Major Veritas.

Meanness Saved Him.

A prominent clergyman used to tell
of one of his parishioners who had
been very sick. A physician had given
him some medicine and told him he
could go out, but under no circum-
stances was he to get wet. The man
went out on the farm, and shower of
rain came up suddenly There was no
shelter near, and to save himself he
crawled into hollow log. The action
Of the rain caused the log to shrink SO
as to endanger his life.
He could not move, and, being
brought face to face with death, the
whole of his past life came before him
as in panorama. He remembered the
days of his childhood his entrance up
on life, his successes and his sins; then
he remembered, last Of all, that when
he left home that morning he refused
his wife, when she asked him, for so
cents. for the church. and the thought
made him feel so small that he had no
difficulty in getting out of the log.

How Lean Year started.

Hampson, in his "Medii GVI. Kalan-
darium," quotes the following quaint
tradition from an old Saxon treatise:
"Some assert that the bissextus or leap
day comes through this, that Joshua
prayed to God that the sun might stand
still for one days length. that he might
sweep the heather from the land that
God had granted him and his followers.
1t is true that the sun did stand still
for one days length over the city of
Gebaon, but the day went forward In
the same manner as other days. And
the bissextus is not through that, as
some do think"
In France and some parts of Spain
and Portugal there exists tradition
known as ''the ghost Of leap year"
Believers in this say that a marvellous
monster annually appears on leap day
and disarranges human affairs for the
remainder Of the year.
