The Introduction of Forks.

Forks are articles of such common
household necessity to us that we hard
ly realize that there was a time, and
not SO long ago either. when forks were
entirely unknown. A knife was used
at the table to cut up food. but the
food so cut was afterward conveyed by
the fingers to the mouth. Rich and poor
alike were accustomed to this method
and SO thought it perfectly correct.
1t was about the year 1000 and In the
reign of James l. when forks were firsi
introduced into England. This piece
OF refinement" we are told, was de
rived from the Italians.

Serpent worship, once very widely

will often be reverenced, fed and pro-
pitiated, and IL fear or the death OF
some one bitten by it induces them to
remove 1t they will handle 1t tenderly
and let 1t loose in some field. When
Hindoos are bitten, they have far more
confidence in their magic spell or

medical aid.

Where one man is called to be hero
on some great scale 10000 men are

entered the drinking room and snuggled
so closely together that the unwary Phil
shivered at the sight Of three heads on

brought Phil back to his senses and he

DEWEY LOST CATTLE IN STORM

skins by the Wagon Load Taken Prom
Carcases of Southern Cattle.
The severe storm that swept this part
Of the country last week killed many
cattle belonging to the Dewey company.
A herd Of 600 head of Texas stock which
was shipped in last summer suffered ter
ribly in the pittiless storm. They were
ranged on the West End ranch, 40 miles
from the headquarters of the Oak ranch,
where the company's sheds, however,
will not shelter more than 500 head.
This shedding capacity is utterly insig-
niicant when It is considered that the
company is ranging between five and six
thousand head Of cattle.
Stock II good condition could hardly
have survived the storm without great
sacrifice Of flesh. The herd of 600 head
from Texas were thin In flesh and had
not yet become Injured to the more rig
orous climate Of northwest Kansas, con
sequently they went down in numbers
Sam Vassar, who lives not far from
where the herd was ranged, said that so
many of them persisted that the Dewey
people have been taking hides from the
carcases Of dead steers by the wagon
load.
With this exception no report OF any
loss is known. Nearly every small ranch
er has provided protection and feed for
his cattle, In case Of storm, and hence
suffered 10 loss.

MRS. MAUD LEE. the nuSDdQQ WHIP
ped her pet dog with mis- buggy whip
The wife demonstrated and thereupOn
the husband turned on her with the
whip and struck her several times. Mrs.
Lee asks for alimony and for costs in
the case.
Mrs. Lee left for Kansas City about
two months ago 1t was known publicly
that domestic iufelicity had arisen in
that family, and those most acquainted
with the reports of the case fully ex-
pected that if any divorce proceedings
were begun Mr.. Lee would be the plain
tiff. The surprise was complete-per-
hsps not excepting Mr.. Lee-when in
formation came that his wife had started
suit for divorce. Whether it was IN
expected or not by Mr.. Lee, it caused
him to change his base Of operations and
he is reported to have left Sunday night
for parts unknown to avoid personal
service in the suit, which is required
when alimony is sought.
The action for divorce has caused quite
a furry in social circles, and each side
has its unsolicited supporters with ready
opinions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee were married about
six years ago and took up their residence
on a farm Just east Of the city limits A
short time ago Lee sold his farm and
until the rupture came they lived in his
Office building in GOOdland.
