An Unlucky Rooster.

In Bavaria some very old superstitions
still survive. as the following incident
shows: A rooster belonging to a neigh
Dor flew into a farm yard the other dav.
and after scratching in the straw a few
minutes hoped onto the back OF a COW
that was lying down and began TO crow.
At that moment the farmers wife en-
tered the yard and at sight of the bird
on the cows back she exclaimed: Now
I know what has caused everything TO
go wrong with me for the last month F.
My children have been sick. my husband
has been very cross. the cows have given
hardly any milk. one OF the horses has
died and all the trouble has been caused
By this wretched rooster. which is moth
ing else but witch in disguise. How
ever. I'll fix it."
With these words she summoned the
farm servants and told them 20 catch the
rooster. which they finally did after a
good deal OF work. Then she said that
there was only one punishment pre-
scribed for a witch who assumed the
form of bird. and that was that she
should be burned alive The servants
agreed with her and the result was that
the unfortunate rooster was taken into
the kitchen and showed into a cauldron
of boiling water.
That evening the owner of the rooster
heard of its fate. and at once began suit
against the farmers wife. In this way
IL became known that many persons in
Bavaria still firmly believe In the exist
ence OF witches wizards. and evil spirits.

LAND YACHT OF A FRENCH BOY

While crude in construction. a curious
and useful little carriage was recently
built by a French boy. He was staying
with his mother at a seaside resort, and
one day. after watching a yacht skim
over the water. IL occurred to him that
person could travel very comfortably on
land by attaching a sail 10 a carriage.
He got an old box and a set OF wheels
and in a few hours was riding UP and
down the beach in a carriage. the like or
which had never before been seen in
France.
To the box he simply fastened mast
and a double triangular sail. There

but the proposed route for the road
seems to be different from that for
which he organized a company once be-
Gore
1t looks as though Mr. Salathiel
means business this time, for he pro-
poses to capitalize this company for
four million dollars. and charters for
companies of that size cost money. The
Zee on the capital stock alone will be
81 200. He paid the application fee of
$25 today. and informed the secretary
of state that the fee of 81 200 would be
forwarded tomorrow. The SIS paid to-
day viii simply be thrown away unless
the balance of the fees are paid. as
the charter cannot be issued until the
fees are turned into the state treasury;
and the whole amount will be thrown
away unless the road is built. Few men
would want to waste over 81 200 on a
charter unless they intended to do
something with it.
Mr.. SalathiePs new company is or
ganized under the name of the Topeka,
Lawrence and Kansas City Electric
Railway company. Its directors are T.
s. Salathiel, j. B. Adams, H NJ Swan,
c. L. Bloom and A P Mcbride, all of
Independence.
The application states that it is pro-
posed to build the line in Shawnee.
Douglas, johnson and Wyandotte coun-
ties, Kansas, and into Jackson county,
Missouri. The length of the line, with
sidetracks. will be IS miles. Principal
offices will be maintained in Rosedale,
Lawrence and Topeka, and the road
viii be chartered to carry both freight
and passengers.
The company also incidentally asks
in its application for authority to mine
coal, and drill for oil and gas, and also
to pipe the latter
A number of Topeka parties, some of
whom are connected with the Mer-
chants National Bank have organized
a company under the name, The FEEDER
al Betterment Company, with a capital
stock of 81 100000. The charter was Sc
cured in West Virginia and the COM
pany today was admitted to do business
in Kansas with headquarters at Topeka.
The officers and directors of the COM
pany are: Guy A. Morse, president;
Frederick K. Brown, president;
Lewis c. Bronson, secretary and treas
urer; Edward A. Terrill and Roland w.

The company is organized for a great
variety of purposes. Among the pow
ers granted it are to develop mineral
lands and gas and oil wells; to pipe and
sell gas and oil; to run power plants;
to engage in manufacturing, mining
constructing and transportation: to
hold real estate, and stocks and bonds.
Other charters granted by the state
charter board today are as follows:
