VANITY OF GUINEA FOWLS

wings of the birds were clipped, so
that they might not fly away, and
they were quartered in an outhouee

The effect of the mirror on the guineas
seems hardly .eredible. They post
themselves before it, and there
studying their reflections intently,
they stand perfectly motiopless and
silent for hours at time. 1t is I'm.
possible TO drive them away with
shouts or handclappings. They must
be carried forth bodily, and then. as
soon as they can, they return. No
matter how fine the weather may be,
the guineas remain in the outhouse,
gazing at themselves in the mirror.
To get them to take exercise it is
necessary to carry them forth, and
then to shut up the outhouse tight
The owner of the fowls thinks that
perhaps the mirror hypnotizes them.

National Guard Officers.

Adj Gen. Sherman Bell and Col.
James Brown will probably sever
their connection with the National
Guard May 9Th. The governor will ac-
cept the resignation of Colonel Brown,
but will urge General Bell to remain at
the head of the state military estab-
lishment.
These are the statements of high
officer of the guard. He adds that the
general will, unless he changes his
mind very soon. refuse to remain in
his present position, and will retire
from public life for the time being, to
accept one of several good offers he
has received from mining companies.
In the letter sent by the two guard
officers to the governor they named
May 9th as the date on which their
designations were to become effective.

What the World Owes Every Man

ing. says Channcey NJ. Depew, provid.
ed he has the industry and determine
ton to collect it. The world owes to
every man more pleasure than pain;
more good than bad; more gain than
loss; more happiness than sorrow;
more success than failure; more love
than hate; more tridAds than enemies;
but it rests with the man himself
whether he collects that debt, for the
world holds fast to the good things
which it possesses and lets free the
bad; and it is only by labor and en-
ergy, only by determination and char.
acter that the debt which the world
owes TO every one is collected.

To Improve American Cattle.

Henry C. Moore of Sioux City, be-
iieves that it is possible to inter.
breed the Arctic musk OK with cattle
of the temperate zone, and that stock
so produced would be able to with.
stand the severe winters of the
United States. He has been in com.
munication on the subject with Peary,
the Arctic explorer, who is favorably
impressed with the idea. THE vast
loss of the present season among
herds of the Western ranges said
Mr.. Moore, emphasizes the necessity
of trying to infuse harder blood into
American cattle"

coLoRED SHOES ARE POPULAR.
Society Does Not Take to Them, but
Army Men Like Varied Hues.

If colored shoes are not generally
worn they are popular in the army, as
evidenced by recent contracts given
out for the manufacturing of shoes for
the members of the United States
army, says the Shoe and Leather Re-
porter One contract was for 81 900
pairs of shoes, all colored, there being
not single pair of blacks in the order
In another order was included SSi
pairs of colored shoes. This gives
the impression that for army wear col
ored shoes are preferred. They look
better for longer period of time with
reasonable care than black goods, in
the opinion of the army officials. For
hot weather colored shoes are viewed
by sensible people as a most common
sense proposition.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
State Claims Pueblo Lands.

Twenty-Five acres of land, worth
lying in one of the principal residence
section of Pueblo, is claimed by the
Hard Land Company holds the prop
erty and is obtaining an enormous
lister claims that the company has no
title and will probably take the matter
into court.
Title to the property is claimed by
the land company under the laws of
accretion. 1t is asserted by the land
register and by l.. r. Smith. appraiser
in the state land Office, that these
statutes do not apply because the land
was not formed by the river through
natural change in its course.
Discovery of the unusual case was
made as the result of complaint
from man who lives in one of the
houses on the land. An effort was
made to eject him. He ascertained
that the land is the property of the
state and rent could not be collected
by the company. Then he notified the
state land Office of the situation.
Appraiser Smith obtained The facts
upon which the state will make a de-
mand for possession. He has not yet
completed his Investigations. The con-
d1tions make the case one of the most
unusual in the history of the state and
one that is liable to cause long legal
battle.
In 1887 the head of this land COM
pany, Mr.. Hard, obtained five acres
for which he secured a title in 1889.
AS described this plot Included five
acres, more or less. and was bounded
on the north by the then city limits
and on the south by the Arkansas
river. This tract is now part of the
holdings of the company.
A number of years later the state
built levee. which was extended by
the city. This changed the course of
the river. 1t left the old bed high and
dry and virtually created more than
twenty-five acres of land. This land
was squatted upon and later was
taken possession Of by the company
on the grounds that the river was the
south boundary of it's holdings.
Now the company holds more than
twenty-five acres in addition to the
five acres originally purchased from
the state, and for which $1,000 was
pdiu twenty years ago. l. he ldNQ is
situated between Elizabeth and Fran
cisco streets and between the Santa
Fe bridge and Greenwood streets. 1t
is cut up into town lots and most of
it is occupied by houses.
Rentals of SIS to SIS per month have
been collected on each of these lots
Some of them are rented as ground
space while others have been i'm
proved by the comDany In this man.
ner very large revenue has been OBJ
tained for many years. The land was
part of a school section Another
claim that is made on behalf of the
state is that it has the right to the
ground because it owned the river bed
which 1T was originally.
1t is held that the fact that the land
was created by artificial means gives
the state the sole claim. Under the
laws of accretion the adjoining proper
ty owners gain through the gradual
formation of land through the actions
of a river or stream.

MAY SELL POOR FARM.
Commissioners Want One Near.
er to Topeka.

The suggestion has been made, and
the county commissioners are giving it
some consideration, that the poor farm
be moved to a location nearer to the
city. The present location of the poor
farm is north of North Topeka on the
Central avenue road. The poor farm is
seven miles from the court house.
The distance from town makes COM
munication~ with the poor farm difficult
and in severe weather feeble and sickly
persons can not be taken from town to
the hospital on the poor farm. If the
poor farm and the hospital were more
accessible the county would be able to
maintain a better hospital and could
care for more patients than at present.
There are now 81 inmates at the
farm A year ago there were 80. The
poor farm is located on lis acres Of
land that is not adapted to the pur-
poses of such farm. The land is
rough and but little of it is suitable
for gardening or the raising of small
fruits. The farm, under the present
conditions, can earn but little for the
county.
If the poor farm was located on 100
acres of good land in the Kaw river
valley it could be made self supporting,
or very nearly so. The counties in the
Shawnee county. In the wheat counties
the poor farms are sowed to wheat and
a crop is raised in good years that
more than pays the expenses OF the
farms.
County Commissioner Haynes said to-
day: IF the Shawnee county poor farm
was located on 100 acres of good bottom
land 1 think that it could be made self
supporting. There are always few per-
sons at the farm who can do some work
and by employing one or two farm
hands some good crops of vege-
tables, potatoes, alfalfa and other good
paying crops could be raised. The iand
where the poor farm now is could be
farmed to advantage by some good
farmer who was able to handle few
sheep, some cattle and make the most
of the land; he could do well with it. To
make the poor farm pay the county
should have rich bottom land where
various crops can be grown with profit
One of the best features in having the
poor farm close to the city would be
that a county hospital could be main
tanned where emergency cases and peo-
pie unable to pay for hospital service
could be taken. The farm could be 1oca-
ted near enough to town so that ambu-
lance service between the city and the
county hospital could be maintained
The commissioners think that if the
old court house could be sold for the
appraised value that the 100 acres nee
essary for the poor farm to make itself
supporting, could be bought close
to Topeka, and leave a fund to use IN
equipping the place. This old court house
is appraised at $500. From the sale of
the poor farm sufficient money would
be raised to build the hospital and 9TH
er buildings necessary.

NEW OUTFITS STORY.

The following amusing example of
partisan Journalism is taken from the
Peoples Voice, of Wellington:
After having bought up big part
of the real estate of North Topeka. at
prices which are but fraction of what
it was worth before the foods of last
May, Congressman Curtis will now in
troduce in the house bill providing
that the United States shall exDend a
million dollars in protecting the lands
along the Kaw valley against inunda-
ton More and more it is getting to
be the idea in this country that a pub
lie Office is a private snap. and that the
man who does not in some way enrich
himself by means of the opportunities
of such Office furnished him is a good
deal of a chump.''
The idea that Mr. Curtis owns the
greater part of North Topeka will
strike the people of that Furnishing
portion OF the city as decidedly anus
ing. But the assumption that ne will
make an effort to prevent future mum
dations for his own benefit principally
is carrying the desire to make a point
against a political opponent beyond the
bounds of common sense.
Mr.. Curtis has made mistakes with
out doubt in his political career. but
his efforts to protect the Kaw
valley from the devastation OF foods
will never be set down on the debit
side of his public ledger.
