Something to Kick at.

If a man feels like kicking at somt-
thing he always manages TO get some
thing to kick at The queerest kick made
in Wichita lately was kick on Kansas
legislation.
1T is all against the poor man. said
a kicker on Douglas avenue
Tell me one piece of legislation passed.
this year against the poor man?' asked
his friend.
We'll" said the man, take the slot
machine law for instance"
"How's that against the poor man
THE wealthy could afford TO buck ma
wheat market the pork market and wan
street" said the man. but the poor Ie'-
low who had only nickel couldn't buck
ANYTHING but the slot machine and they
legislated against that
Everybody has their own ideas ABOUT
poor mans privileges. but this is tno
aueerest idea yet heard of.

A Rabid Doc.

DR.. Shuts has given the following
truths to the Eagle. He has made a
study of the subject for years and writes
In the interest of humanity and .he
dog; the noblest friend of the human
race.
The object of this article is to correct
some erroneous impressions that prevail
everywhere in regard to the rabid dog.
1t Is not the idea TO give the cause or
pathology of rabies or hydrophobia. but
90 give such symptoms as will enable
any one to know at sight if the dog is
truly mad.
1t is no pleasure to dog to 90 mad.
Quite the reverse. Dreadful as hydro :
iphobia may be to the human being. rabies
- worse to the dog. 1t makes it approach
E'ore gradually; it lasts longer. and is
more intense while it endures.
The dog that is going mad feels IN
well for long time prior to the full
development of the disease.
He is very i'll but does not know what
ails him. He feels nasty; dissatisfied with
everything vexed without reason, and,
greatly against his better nature, very
snappish. Feeling thus. he longs to avoid
all annoyance by being alone. This makes
him seem strange to those who are ac-
customed TO him. This sensation induces
him to seek solitude, but there is also an
other reason which decides his choice
Of a resting place The light inficts upon
him intense agony; il is to him instrII-
ment of torture. which he therefore stu
dies to avoid. for his brain aches and
feels as if it We're troubling jelly.
This induces the poor brute to seek out
holes and corners where he is least likely
TO be noticed. and into which light is
made to enter.
If his retreat be discovered and his
masters voice bids him to come forth,
the affectionate creatures countenance
brightens; his tail beats the ground, and
he leaves the hiding place anxious to
obey the loved authority. But, before
he has gone half the distance. a kind
of sensation comes over him, which pro-
duces an instantaneous change in his
whole appearance. He seems to say 10
himself: why cannot you let me alone?
Do go away, you trouble-you pain me-"
And thereupon he suddenly turns tail
and darts back into his dark corner. If
left alone there he will remain, perhaps.
= frothlng at the mouth and drinking a
great deal of water but not issuing from
his hiding place to seek food. His Ape
tite is aItered-hair. straw. dirt, rags,
unnatural substances-are then the delica-
cies for which the poor dog. changed
by disease. longs and swallows in the
hope of easing a burning stomach.
He is now altogether changed. Still he
does not desire to bite mankind. He
rather endeavors 10 avoid society; he
takes long journeys to vent his restless
desire for motion. When on these jour-
neys he does not walk; this would be
too formal and measured a pace for an
animal whose whole frame quivers with
excitement: neither does he run for that
would be a great exertion He proceeds
fin a slouching manner-ir a kind of a
trot-a movement neither run nor walked,
and his aspect is very detected; his eyes
do not glare and stare, but are dull and
retracted. His appearance is very char7
scteristic. and if once seen, can never
afterwards be mistaken.

GOSSIP FOR HOME PEOPLE

on end and today he imagines the light
growth of hair on the top OF his head
is due very largely TO that ride on the
stage from Wichita TO Winfield.
He came Up 10 Wichita and got $40 600
in currency of Sol Kohn TO take down to
Winfield When he got into the sta sc
with his ten thousand in q hand satchsl
there We're three other men N the stage
They had only gone a short distance
when the passengers began TO compare
weapons and each Of the other three men
drew a dangerous looking revolver from
under his coat. Mr.. Robinson felt his
helpless position and that grip with the
ten thousand felt very large and heavy
He was forced to confess that he had no
gun.
The unarmed man summoned all his
courage and tried 10 seem unconcerned
comrades were and whether they knew
he had money N that grip.
The trying time came after they arrived
al FL Paso. They stopped at the afore-
mentioned hotel for dinner. The tender
foot tried TO seem unconcerned and when
he sat down TO dinner he carelessly hung
his handbag on the knob OF the front
door, but took care TO get seat at table
where he could see it. When he was half
through with his dinner there came a
Kansas zephyr that sent the front door
10 with bang. and the hand bag rolled
out into the street
Mr.. Robinson was ready TO drop dead.
but it occurred to him that If he showed
concern for that handbag he would be a
sure goner. and he never made a move
TO get it. He finished his dinner and went
outside and there lay the handbag unmo-
Tested. He arrived at Winfield with his
money safe and sound but he said that
stage ride would always be fresh in his
memory. He had never carried a gun.
but that was one time when he would
like to have had a cannon loaded with
buckshot.

Russian PASSENGERS Got Lost.

II is not unusual for a train or a piece
of baggage TO get lost while in charge
of railroad company, but 1t rarely hap
pens that man gets lost. Monday morn
ing there was on the southbound train
for Arkansas City a lost Russian who
could speak about eight half baked Eng
lish words. He had been lost then about
four days and conductors were turning
him over from one to another division
points in hopes that they might finally
get him TO his companions. Ii seems that
fifteen of them started out from Trini-
dad. Colorado. to go somewhere. They
were all billed on the same Transports
ton but this fellow fell asleep on the
train and when he opened his eyes his
companions were gone. So was the
ticket The conductor was good
fellow and carried him to Topeka where
he got OF There the railroad officials,
who understood that a MISTAKE had been
made in some way, understood that he
wanted to go to Kansas City. There some
one found out, or thought he found out,
that he wanted to stop in Kansas and
sent him back to Topeka. Another in
vestigation was made and Arkansas City
was fixed as his probable destination
There he was carried any way and he
may be going yet for all the eagle knows.
1t was hardly probable when the train
reached here that Arkansas city was
his destination. for by some awful pan
tomine work he indicated that he was
going to a place where there are ccal
mines. There are none at Arkansas City
The experience with him revived story
among conductors OF a German immi-
grant who got lost in a railroad system
one time and was showed from one con-
ductor To another so often and for so
long a time that he finally had learned
English and told them where he wanted

The most foolish thing that can be done
after some one is bitten by a dog is at
once to kill it and start for Pasteur

was mad or not. The best plan would
be to have the dog closely guarded for
several days until fu..her developments.

ness. for mad dogs never recover.

Reached the Stage.

The Eagle published an item many
months ago about deal which Bigger
and Little Bros made with a Wellington
man. This Wichita firm is or was a
transfer company. The oddity of the
names and the queer combination can
be seen at a glance. 1t was this fact
that led the item into as great a fame
as any such newspaper paragraph ever
is led 1t was first handed to a Boston
newspaper reporter by a merchant who
had friends in Wichita. The Boston
paper published it and then a New
York paper took 1t up. How many more
newspa pers got hold of it is not known,
but no doubt there are many more that
are publishing it. At any rate, it has
reached higher fame than even news
paper notoriety. 1t has gotten before
the footlights. In the first act of the
Chaperons that played at the Auditori-
UNI recently. the comedian darts off the
