Furnished House With Taos.

There is more than one way 20 kill a
cat and there Is more than one way 10 do
almost anything. Several wichitans have
proved that there Is more than ore way
10 furnish a house cheap ana thus carried
out the old principle. This way Is By the
collection OF tobacco tags. There are
several homes in this city which have
been furnished throughout In this way
Many OF the tobacco men save the tags
that are left IN their places Of business

little piece OF tin or paper wrapper In
a short time. they amount UP 10 large

OnIv Almond Tree in Town.

There is only one almond tree in Wich-
tia and very few outside of the pioneers
knew that even one such tree grows
within the city limits or even those of
the county. This almond tree is directly
in front of the only dwelling in the first
block on North Market. This house
is situated in about the middle OF the
block on the east side of the street The
age of the tree is also worthy of notice
Ben Aldrich afflrms that it stood in ox-
actly the same place twenty-nine years
ago.
It resembles very much a peach tree.
II still blooms and bears nuts. This spring
It beat all others in being first bios
somed out with pm6 flowers At this
time il attracted a great deal or atten-
ton from passersby who Invariably spoke
of it as a peach tree. Up till a very re
cent time, its fruit or the well-knowa
almond nut, was gathered from it.

An Honest Man.

Last week 2 stranger walked into Geo.
McNeals barber shop on North Main
street and asked for hair cut a fact
which is not singular. However. when
the job was finished and he sound that
his bill was Is cents. he said: Very well,
Mr. McNeal then I owe you Just s215.
Mr.. McNeal did not understand and de-
clined TO accept the money, but the
stranger soon made the matter clear to
him. Il am not a stranger here" he
said. Eleven years ago l lived in this
city and drove hack here and one night
when 1 was hard up you loaned me So
left soon after that without paying yoL,
but I never forgot the debt. I have been
fortunate since / left here and have made
money so 1 want you TO take that So"

Tropical Looking Tree.

Wichita has a curiosity in the way of
a tree This unique cottonwood stands
in front of the livery stable in the first
block north Of Douglas avenue on En-
poria avenue. Its height is more than
ordinary. but that is not the curious part
about it. There IS not a lateral branch
for the whole length of the tree. All
the branches seem to come cut at the top.
1t makes very fowery looking affair.

Message From Texas.

The following message was written on
the side of a strawberry box received in
this city last week. '35 Tyler girls want
to know who eat the berries out of this
box. Address 10 Miss May Dytle, Tyler,
fexas, Route T."
For the information of these young
ladies, it will be said that the berries
Were eaten by a family in which there
are none but married folk and so the
fond hopes Of those Texans are forever
blighted of ensnaring Kansas boy into
their haTem.

Oldest Fence in Wichita

have no confidence in what one tells them

4 visit TO the railway ticket Offices of
any Of the stations in this city will con-
vince one of the truth of this statement.
Two phones are kept busy from two
hours before train time until an half hour
afterward. Everybody wants to know
about the trains. one ticket agent was
asked: why don't you tell Central and
let her tell them whether the train is
on time or not. That would save every
body great deal OF work. The agent
replied Il do tell Central about the

seats Marconi,s system

The dog whistle on one Of the threshers
that came into Wichita on Tuesday of
last week caused a very amusing Incl
dent. A resident of the third block on
North Topeka avenue was busily engaged
In little carpentering work when his
youngest boy came running breathlessly
into the yard and said
Papa, can 1 go down to the Santa re
track. Some boys have tied a tin can
to a dogs tail Don't you hear him
howling?"
1t may be remarked here that similar
incidents occurred ali over town Dogs
were crazy by the queer sounding whis-
tie. Judge Buckner relates that his old
horse, Badly" came to the harm door
with a whisp of hay in his mouth and
his ears laid back and actually quit chew
ing the hay in wonderment at the whistle.
Moreover, his dog rushed out to the train
20 investigate but, coming to no conclu-
sion, he rushed back again.
