G.. T. Foran gets into the Hutchin-

tifteen-line head last Saturday. He
started for ST. Joe with some stock
and was smashed up at EIlinwood
but went as far as Topeka where he
was in the Santa Fe hospital for a
few days. Returning he stopped at
Hutchinson and interviewed the News
as they had at one time printed a
poem which he wrote in memory of
blighted atfections-and the News
says it was good stuff. It seems from
a. clipping from an Eldorado paper
that the same woman who worked
Foran for $3.50 has got herself into the
tolls of the law. 1t seems she worked
man from the territory for bunch
of cattle on a proposition to purchase
and when the cattle we're delivered
ran the owner off on the charge that
he was attempting TO trife with the
, affections of her daughter. The ter
ritory man declined to stand for the
deal and let her keep the cattle with
out something to show for it and so
instituted suit. FOran carries this
clipping with him and whenever he
looks at it he smiles.

CLEVER FOX TERRIER.
He Has Learned SO Many Tricks That
He Might Almost BE . Circus
Performers.

In Jamaica, New York, there lives
q very clever little fox terrier dog
who might almost be circus per-
former, so many tricks has he
learned. But his ''star performance"
is one in which he shares the honors
with a tiny Maltese kitten. In fact,
it il really the kitten that is the
"star." The kitten is dressed in
dolls clothes, and submits with
much grace while the buttons are
fastened and the strings tied. Then
the fox terrier is told to ''sit up"
which he does, without delay, bal
ancing himself on his launches.
Then the kitten baby is laid in his
"arms," and both keep perfectly still
till the command is given: "Kiss the
baby gently"
Then the doggie bends over and
kisses kitty. Kitty does not like this
q bit, but she submits with good
grace, only fattening her ears to
show her disapproval. f..
The minute the kitty baby is un-
dressed he shows her much less gal
lantry, for, with joyous bark, he
starts to chase her, and the little
bundle of fur leads him a dance all
over the house, stopping now and
then to arch her back and spit at
him furiously.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

POKER ON PICKET POST.
A Quiet Game of Cards That Was
Rude.y Broken Up by a Con.
federate Rush.

Gard playing" said the major, IN
the Chicago Inter Ocean, twas with
many soldiers passion, and in that
form was as difficult to handle as any
thing in the army. In the first year
of the war poker was demoralizer,
because officers and men gave the1h-
selves up to it, and because there were
in nearly every regiment sharpers and
gamblers who took advantage of the
unsophisticated or of those who played
as a. relief from the tedium of army
life. The sharpers, as a rule, fell out
of the service when the serious busi-
ness of the war was opened, but the
men who were carried off their feet
by poker were numbered by the hun.
dreds in every brigade.
1T was almost impossible to en-.
force discipline in the matter of card
playing, because if the colonel of q
regiment was poker player, he SYM
pathized with the men who were poker
players, and the latter knew it. So it
happened that men evaded camp reg
ulations and played sometimes at
night, and played on picket, and even

the feathered architect knew that the
arch is the strongest possible shape.
the walls are built of twigs, interviewer
firmly and filled in with clay; and so
substantially is the work done that
when completed, heavy man may
walk over it without injuring it in the
least. The house is built on slightly
inclined surface, and the door is
placed at the lower end in order that
the floods of rain which fall in the
country may not pour into the dwell
ing.
The doorway is the smallest opening
possible for the bird to enter, and is
frequently so disguised that it is nc
easy matter to discover it, even though
you may have first seen the bird dart
through it.
The outer doorway opens into q
small ante-chamber, which leads
through small entrance into larger
room, which in its turn opens by q
doorway into a spacious apartment
raised one step above the floor of the
other chambers and carpeted with soft
leaves and velvety moss. In the last
and choicest apartment the mother
bird lays from three to five snow-white
eggs; and there the little birds first
peep forth from their shells.-St. Mich.

A Story of the Civil War.

Out in Chattanooga they tell this
story of civil war days: <Chatta-
nooga creek was the dividing line be-
tween the outposts of the federal
and confederate armies, and during a
hull in hostilities the pickets of both
cultivated one another's acquaint-
ance, having agreed not to fire on
one another. One day when the cap
tain of the union guard saw Gen.
Grant with his staff approaching he
said to his men: "Turn out the
guard for the commanding general -
The confederates on the other side
of the creek, not more than 50 feet
away, heard the order, and their cap
tain, conceiving the idea of paying
a compliment to the enemy, shout
ed: "Turn out the guard for the
commanding general of the federal
army" The ragged confederate pick
cts stood at attention for several
moments and then saluted Grant as
he rode away.-N. Y. Tribune.
