IN A BURNING HAYSTACK.
Body of an Unknown Man Found
Near LeaVenWorth.

Leavenworth, Kan. Nov. 25.-The
charred body of an unknown man was
found Tuesday lying between two burn
ing haystacks on w. c. Russell's farm
near the county line and a few hundred
feet from the Kansas City-Leavenworth
electric line. The feet and legs up to
the knees, and the arms were burned off
All the clothing except a fragment of a
red wooden undershirt and a black and
white striped working shirt was con-
sumed. The face was burned and
charred beyond recognition.
The skull of the unknown man was
fractured above the right ear, and it
was the opinion of the men who found
the body, that the man had been muir
dered, thrown upon the haystack and
the hay set on fire. There is no clew
by which the identity of the man or the
cause of the fire can be learned.

"M. H. CASE" is ON DUTY.
Veteran Topeka Fire Engine Out of
Repair Shop.

Old m. H. Case the big Topeka
fire department steamer, is back from
the paint shop, looking a S giddy as a
girl, and this afternoon is to be tested
as to its water-throwing ability. After
this test, the steamer will be held in
reserve for big fires in the business part
of town.
Since the flood, when the need of a
fire steamer was thoroughly demon
strated, Chief Wilmarth has had the old
steamer completely rebuilt as to it's in
terror anatomy. 1t has a new set of
pipes in the boiler. new set of valves,
and when it was found to be in perfect
working condition, it was sent to the
paint shop and given a bright vermil-
lion overcoat, with plenty of gold lace
trimming. After the test this after
noon, the brass and nickel portions will
be shlned up, and the old engine will
look as good as new.
The steamer has also been provided
with new suction pipe which is the
big steel and rubber tube to be dipped
into the fire cistern Or any other source
OF supply. A two-story connection for
a fire plug has also been purchased.
This will give the engine twice as much
water to pump than can be obtained
from single fire plug connection With
plenty of water. the big engine can put
on a pressure of $50 pounds. This is
about a third higher than fire pressure
on the water mains.

"LIKE MAN, LIKE HORSE -
The characteristics of the Owner Often
Shown in the Animal.

I've always had a notion that the
horse is like the man, in other words.
that the horse is often what his owner
makes him. Recently I came across
the following bit of wisdom in a farm
paper. and as the writer's ideas are
exactly my own, cannot refrain from
quoting his thoughts today:
1.-The excitable horseman,' he says,
Twill have horses just like himself.
The man without horse sense will have
a horse with the same poor sense The
man who is loud when driving will
have a boisterous horse and no one
ought to blame the horse. The man
who stops his team with drawing
'w-h-o-a' will have team that will
stop in the same manner-that is. they
will take two or three steps after they
are told to STOP"
1 might quote more, but enough is
enough. You get the idea. What's
more, you all know living examples of
the kind of horsemen referred to. You
of course-arent built that way: but
the "other fellow often is. Too often.
And usually. he blames the horse for
his own shortcomings. Once in a
while, probably, he ticks old 'Dobbin"
or Jim" for some fault that in reality
| is his own. 1t isn't fair! Train or
drive or use a horse properly, and nine
Hines out OF ten that horse behaves
himself and does all that is expected
| of an animal.
Seems to me there ought to be a
training school for the driver as we'll
as for the driven. For instance. L know
of several promising horses that have
been practically spoiled by poor driv-
! ing. 1 have in mind, in particular
| two horses; one is driven by a man.
the other by a woman. Both drivers
have the habit of nagging and fussing
| of saying "G-long'' or ''Git-up' every
half minute regularly, accompanying
! the words with a gentle tap of the
whip. The result is that both horses
pay no attention whatever to either
command or whip. and 1t takes a
| ''reg'lar earthquake" or a 6rst-class
thrashing to move EN- out of a slow
| jog trot.
Another spoiled horse has been all
