erner above mentioned related to the
remarkable list of farm implements ad-
vertised showing the great variety re-
quired by Kansas farmers. Where he
lived the farmers had plows. harrows,
hoes, rakes. scythes, etc, But what"
said he, ARE discs and listers and shovel

Well, in John Browns tract there prob

implements generally used in Kansas.

ELOPED ON sNOWSHOES.
Refined Young Girl WEEDS Uncouth
Lumberman of Forty-two.

Salem, Me, Feb; E,-There is much s,l1
wonder here at the elopement OF John
Manson. aged forty-two, and Miss Thir-
"a Luce. the fifteen-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Bartlett Luce
Marson is a rough-mannered lumber
man, while Miss Luce is pretty, refined
and accomplished.
Marson boarded in the Luce family,
but the parents did not suspect that
there was anything between them until
on one of the coolest mornings of this
week the two disappeared. Search re.
vealed snowshoe tracks leading toward
Pennington.
The father pursued, and at Pennington;
twenty-five miles distant, he learned
that Manson and Thirza had come there
on snowshoes and left on the early train
for Portsmouth, n. H. Mr. Luce fastened
to the telephone, but the line was tenn
porarily disabled.
He then left on the next Portsmouth
bound train, but again was too late-a
justice of the peace had made John and
Thirza man and wife before he arrived
At the sight of her father Thirza threw
herself into his arms and wept bitterly
and begged his forgiveness, saying she
was sorry for what she had done. The
next train to Pennington took the unhap-
by trio home.
It is understood that effort Will be
made to annul the marriage.

yet there is none of the disagreeable
work of the butcher necessary to OBJ
tain it. Vegetarians use eggs freely,
and many of these men are eighty and
ninety years old and have been re-
markably free from sickness.
Eggs are best when cooked four min
utes. This takes away the animal taste
which is offensive to some, but does
not harden the white and yolk SO as to
make them difficult to digest. An egg
if cooked very hard is difficult of di-
gestion. Such eggs should be eaten
with bread and masticated very finely.
An egg spread on toast is fit for a
king-if kings deserve better food than
anybody else. Fried eggs are much
less wholesome than boiled ones. An
egg dropped into hot water is not only
a clean and handsome. but a delicious,
morsel. Most people spoil the taste of
their eggs by adding pepper and salt.
A little sweet butter is the best dress
ing Eggs contain much phosphorus,
which is supposed to- be beneficial to
those who use their brains much.

rAe value of LearninE to Knit.

Fifty years ago every woman and
girl was taught to knit as part of her
education. Now, however. compare
lively few are taking up knitting nee
dies with any seriousness of intention
Young women should become expert
knitters not because sthey cannot buy
many things as cheaply as they can
produce them, but with a view of that
faroff day which is certain to come in
time-the day of old age. To the
brightest girl there may fifty years
hence arrive the day of deafness, when
the voices of music shall be brought
low, or the day of blindness when this
fair world shall be dim and darkening
to twilight or night. To the gayest of
us all may come in the fareff time of
the future a period of great loneliness,
for friend after friend departs
When one cannot see well or hear
well, when acquaintance are few and
hours drag, there is a great satisfac-
ton in being able to employ the fingers.
A good knitter uses hers with the
swiftness of an autouaton. She sits in
the freight and knits. an embodiment
of contentment.

EVERY CLOCK STOPPED.
Timepieces in School Buildings
Ceased Work simultaneously.

Webster City, Ia, Feb IA very
strange incident occurred at the Central
High school building in this CITY, Every
clock in the building stopped at exactly 8
O'Clock in the morning. 1t was the day
of the eruption on the island OF Java,
and the time the clocks stopped was
within very few seconds of the time
that the eruption occurred, which COW
cred a village and killed several hundred
people.
The phenomenon is unexplained, except
that it was very likely due to some sym
pathetic electrical disturbance in the zone
in which the high school building stands
OF course, it may have been a very
strange coincidence, and yet this hardly
explains it satisfactorily. The phenome-
non at the high school building was hrst
noticed on the second floor. Every clock
had stopped at just 8 o'clock. Investiga-
ton showed that the clocks on both the
other floors had also stopped at the same
hour. In the kindergarten building, Just
south of the high school building, all the
clocks were going as usual, nothing nav
ing interfered with their movements.
As to just exactly what caused the phe-
nomenon at the high school building IS
not known 1t is presumed, of course,
that it was something in the nature OF
an electrical disturbance, but whether, IN
deed, it had any connection with the vol
canic eruption can not be said. The TACT
that both occurred at about the same
time leads to this presumption, however
As to why no other clocks in the city
were affected is not explained.

this fact and made inquiries as to the
cause. It seems that many of these
farmers are following the footsteps OF
those who went from the east to the
west years ago. They are selling theil
lands at a good price and going to Ar

THE GAMBLING CASES.
Witnesses VIII Be Here When
Wanted.

Judge Hazen is making up the trial
docket for the session of the district
court in March. The gambling cases,
brought by County Attorney FIungate,
under the Cubbison law, will be set for
trial. Judge Hazen has not yet determ-
ined the exact date but the trial will
probably be set for the first or second
week in March.
The cases were brought against Mike
Thompson, Wood Fowler, 81 Hurst and
lobe Tobias. Each is placed under $1,000
bond in each of the two cases.
Fowler is now in California. Before he
went his attorney, Eugene Hagan, nott-
fed County Attorney Hungate that Fow-
Ter was going to California. but would re-
turn in time for the trial, and asked that
Fowler be given sufficient notice of the
date of the trial that he might return.
Two of the. principal witnesses, WIN
Griffith and Charles B. Ramsey, are in
Oklahoma. Before they went they noti-
fed Mr.. HU gate that they were going,
but that they would be gone but short
time, and that they would return in time
to appear as witnesses at the trial in the
district court.
Mrs. Will Griffith and Mrs. Charles
Ramsey were primarily responsible for
the charges against the gamblers being
made They are relentless in their desire
to have the prosecution proceed and have
retained r. B. Welch to look after their
interests in the case and to assist Mr..
Hungate in the prosecution.

on waxed linen thread or violin string.
First put on one large pearl, then five
small seed ones, and so on down the
string. The tassel is made up of 1S2
small pearls in loops of fourteen At
the top of the tassel are placed two
large pearls, one below the other, and
under these come the long loops.
Venetian necklaces are also very at
tractive in shadings of turquoise blue
and iridescent white. Double chains
are rather more difficult to make than
the single. There are two methods of
stringing the double kind. One is to
use a double thread through all the
large beads. then thread the small sec
lions on separate needles and unite
with the large beads. The other way is
to go around the entire necklace with
a single thread and finish one end with
a tassel then thread the inner line and
finish like the other with a second tas-
sci.

London, Feb. 17.-Major Powell-Cot-

has been interviewed regarding the re-
port that an expedition dispatched by
the East Africa syndicate has been an
initiated by the Turkana tribesmen.
The major, who has traversed the Tur-
kama country, expressed the fear that
the report might be true. The Turkana,
he said, have a curious system of tat
tooing, by which one can tell the num-
Der of people man has killed. When
the body is covered with marks from
the shoulder to the waist the warrior
continues the record on the bodies of

more eggs for meat in our daily diet?
About one-third of an egg is solid nu-

and bit the little finger SO fiercely that
his teeth cut through the knuckle bone.
