Bird Vengeance.

"A naturalist recently witnessed an
encounter between large swan and
little brown duck. The duck had
apparently insulted the swan by trying
to cross its path, for it was suddenly
seized by the swan and held under the
water until he was sure 1t would be
drowned. But at last the swan let 1t
60 and sailed majestically away. The
duck, after taking !, breath, looked
around to see where Its enemy was,
and seeing 1t rose into the air and
deliberately came down, tapping its
wings, on the astonished swans back.
The swan fed in terror, and the duck,
apparently. satisfied, quietly swan
away.-Pear&on's Weekly.

The advancement of Judge Hook to
the place vacated by Judge Caldwell
has created q vacancy on the federal
bench which the president will have
to fill and the politicians of this state
are working overtime in their desire
to help the president make suitable
selection. The curious part of the
program is that you do not hear the
question of the fitness of the different
candidates discussed but only the
question of their being friendly to
some one man or another. The old
proposition is again illustrated that
the appointive power is always used
to build fences for some man instead
of being used to advance the best in
terests of the people.

The editor of the Wichita Eagle
has lately been making himself very
unpopular with the people who run
the republican politics of the state by
calling the attention of the public to
the fact that most of the affairs of the
state of Kansas are settled by the
bosses over in Missouri. Almost
every day you see in the papers that
boss so and SO has met certain other
bosses in Missouri and decided on
certain matters regarding the state of
Kansas. The editor of the Eagle
says that s, ate pride if nothing else
should make these men hold their
meetings on Kansas soil. And he is
right about it.
