Wichita Mans Handiwork.

A 9. Getz, a member of Company No. ],
Wichita fire department is handy with
carpenters tools and has just finished a
locomotive which he started the first of
January. The engine is complete in every
detail. 1t is about four feet long. includ-
ing tender and fifteen inches high, painted
placl and aluminium with a few gold rods.
The boiler was turned from a solid piece
Of quaTter-sawed oak and this material
with black walnut is used entirely. The
four drivers are connected together with
eccentrics and reverse the latter, operated
from the cab and the pistons work as
evenly as those of any engine. The gear
ing under the engine is a perfect model
of that of the passenger types used in
this section.
The headlight has a tiny electric light
the bulb taken from the switchboard in
the telephone office. At the top of the
light is a tiny silver buffalo. The hand
rams of the engine are wood tipped with
the brass legs from an alarm clock Two
white flags are al either side of the pilot.
The tender is hewed from solid piece
of oak with tool, with ice boxes, water
cap and ladder and two tiny lanterns on
either corner. The wheels of both en-
CINE and tender are made from black wal
nut with all pipes and rods painted alum
mum. The engine is a beautiful little
continuance which represents many hours
of close work. Mr.. Getz built it during
the many idle hours between calls of
the department

DR.. Ramaley's dog Fred is dead. Fred
is known throughout Wichita as the
smartest dog in the city. He was coach
spaniel with an extra streak OF smart
ness in him. The dog could be called
an imitator as he picked up most of his
tricks by watching people. He was train
ed but little by his master
For number of years DR.. Ramaley
had an office with DR.. Jones in the Smith
Skinner Block The dog and the doctors
were great friends Fred was the best
friend man ever had but he would not
stand i'll treatment. Not even the dog 5
master dared to raise his hand to strike
Fred or there would be stiff fight on
his hands in . second.
Whenever one of the doctors found it
necessary TO leave town Fred would fol-
low him TO the door and watch him dis
appear, and then he would return to the
office Should both leave at once Fred
would start with them. II their paths
diverged Fred would trot from one TO the
other several times until the distance be-
came so great that he could no longer
make the trip when he would decide
which TO follow.
After Dr. Jones left Wichita DR.. Rama
lev kept the dog one day he left the city
and left Fred with Z. a. Rohrbaugh
The dog refused TO eat and lay almost
the entire day with his head toward the
direction he last saw his master. one
evening the doctor came home without
MIR. Rohrbaughs knowledge. II was about
eight O'Clock and violent thunderstorm
was in progress, when suddenly the dog
began 10 whine. Mr.. Rohrbaugh thought
the lightning scared him and took the dog
into an inner room but the animal con-
snued TO whine. Finally Mr.. Rohrbaugh
jpened the door. Fred jumped out and
ran across the hall and began scratching
on the door Of his master. DR.. Rama
lev came home at eight O'Clock, The
dog heard him and did not rest until he
was with his master.

q "Hen" PARTY.

Last week one OF the members Of the
Methodist church at Oatville gave a
Hen" party to raise money to seLd their
minister to a church meeting ct Detroit
According TO the program, each woman
was to bring hen. The one who brought
the largest hen received a prize of one
dollar. All Of the hens were sold and
neat sum realized for the travelling fund.
1t was certainly a motley array of
white, buff, yellow, speckled and domi-
nick hens that were tied in the yard of
the church. Every hen was a ''yearling"
and some were ''three-year-olds." Big
fat hens, too lazy to cackle, were along
side spry young things who were max
ing their reputation as egg-producers and
were very proud of themselves. Preach
ers are known throughout the country
from their love for a yellow-legged chick
en-. bat few preachers would care to tackle
any member Of that bunch of hens. The
ladies had d good time during the after
noon, while the cackle Of the hens min
gled with the laughter of the women
and everybody had a good time. including
the chickens.

Asserts That There's Oil.

Surface signs indicate that there is
under sedgwick county and near Wichita
vast lake of OIL" said c. s. Richmond,
OF this county to a reporter for the Eagle.
1 make this assertion after having lived
eleven years at Los Angeles, Cal, and
/. saw that oil field developed. In that field
there are no more prospect holes. Surface
indications point out where there are
rivers and lakes of oil and biologists can
and have traced them and made a per-
sect map showing where oil can be found
In southern California. Rivers of oil
follow the upheavals or cracks in the
crust OF the earth, called by biologists
an anticline. From Wichita to the big
slough and from Maize to Oatville there
Is series of ridges or knobs that trend
In lines from northwest to southeast that
were never formed by wind or water
but by upheavals. Here is oil It only
awaits development to make thousands
independently rich. Who will be the first
to tap this till and secure the hidden

Necessity Bad Enouoh

One day last week a little girl in this
city was being reprimanded by her moth
or and in the course of the talk the
mother told the child that God was al
ways w2tc~g her and she could not
move without Him knowing it.
A day or so later the little girl was
out walking in the yard and her pet kit
ten followed her. The mother heard her
turn around and exclaim:
Go back. kitty; it is bad enough to
have God watching you all the time
without having you tagging around"

Oldest BibIe in Wichita.

Among the many treasured relics Of
Elizabeth Barber and her sisters, Maria
and Hannah King. of III Charles avenue,
is a well-preserved Bible printed in the
years 163S-2s-4O.
The preface consists of prayers and
hymns set to music The words of the
hymns are composed from the Psalms.
1t also contains the typography and the
chapters of the Maccabees.
7 hts treasured relic has been handed
down from generation to generation in
the King family since the year 1894, and
contains autographs of the owners names
since the year 1871.
4 copy of the hymn in the Bible is here
given using capitals and punctuation as
found there. The hymn is composed from
the 117th Psalm:
When Israel by Gods addresse
from Pharvah's land was bent,
and Jacobs house the strangers left
and in the same traine went.
In Juda God his glory Showed
his holiness most bright,
So did the Israelites declare
his kingdom peace and night.
The sea it saw and suddenly
as all amazed did file
The roaring streams of Jordans flood,
recoiled backwardly.
AS Rams afraid the mountains skipt.
Their strength did them forsake
And as taa little trembling lambs,
Their tops did beat and shake.
What allied the sea as all amazed
as suddenly did file
We rolling waves of Jordan food
why range backwardly.
Why shook We hills afraid
Why did your strength so shake
Why did your tops as trembling lambs, |
for fear CULVER and quake.
oh earth confesse they sovereign Lord, |
and dread his mighty hand.
Before the face of Jacobs God
fear We both sea and land.
/ mean the God which from hard rocks
Doth cause main foods appeare
And from the stony flint doth cause,

THE MIDSUMMER BERRY.
For my taste the blackberry cone,
Purpled over hedge and stone.

FOR my taste the biackoerry cone,
PurpIed over hedge and stone.
Have you ever sought this lusciou:
fruit where 1t grows wild and abundant
along the borders OF the wood and fields
and where the cool evening dews fall
soonest and still lie heavy and giisten-
| ing on bramble and berry long after
King Sol has appeared in all his torrid
| splendor? If so then you know why the
meadow lark sings with such meiodious
| sweetness, why the robin chirrups with
suck rollichin glee. and myriads OF
| creatures of the wildwood are so happy
when midsummer spreads such netared
| sweetness where they can eat, dring and
be as merry as the day is long.
The common wildwoow or roadside ber-
~ is always sweet whether large or
| small, according TO the quality OF the
soil The bramble growing on the sun
ny hillside, produces a small. hard and
acid berry. not so good TO eat uncooked.
especially If there is excessive acidity
of the stomach.
While the blackberry is named as one
of the most wholesome of our fresh
fruits and because of its astringent quail
ity regarded of particular medicinal
calue in hot weather. do not take il for
granted that its use /, absolutely bene-
fetal under all conditions. The sensation
commonly known as heart burn" is a
sure indication that there is irritation
in some part of the stomach and may be
caused and increased by eating all acid
juicy berries.
Although undoubtedly there is less dan
ger OF hurtful effects from eating ripe,
fresh blackberries than other berries.
they seeming to hoce curative and neu-
tralizing properties long and well known.
Blackberries and like fruits are general
ly eaten at meal time with solid matter
as well as with foods which also contain
acids. If you wish them served in the
morning, eat them at least an hour be-
for breakfast-not with the meal-if this
is not possible, take them between meals
as they are best eaten on an empty stom-
ach.
The Juice Of blackberries makes a
wholesome and very delicious summer
beverage. The sweet acid flavor being
very grateful to the taste and satisfy
ing the insatia BILE desire for drink quicker
than water and also doing away with
a craving for stimulsnts, which water
will not do. In fact, ice water rather
increases the longing II there is any in
clination in that direction.
The skill Of the fruit grower has given
q thornless blackberry--an advantage the
fruit picker will appreciate. The pur-
pose for which nature designed the
rough. troublesome briar was no doubt
one Of defense and for the protection OF
some of the weaker creatures against
greater foes. In the state of cultiva-
ton the protective thorn is superfious
and IT was a happy thought which
prompted the plant breeder to segregate
this troublesome feature from so profit
able a plant.
