The Petrihed Man.

Do you remember the "petrified
man." supposed TO be 5000 years old,
discovered in gravel bed near Leav-
enworth few years ago, and which

try guessing? This wonderful speci-
men was made from plaster of paris
cast by Charles Farmer, an eccentric
old gentleman who lives on farm adj
joining that of John Cory near Love-
mont The cast was taken from hui
man being. Farmer had arranged with
another man to help him out in his
scheme to make some money. Ac-
cordingly the specimen was hidden in
a ravine near Miocene, three miles
northwest of Leavenworth, and was
found per the arrangements. 1t was
taken to Leavenworth and placed on
exhibition as genuine petrified man.
Great interest was manifested in it
and the owners realized neat sum by
charging an admission fee to it. Sci
entists examined it and We're puzzled.
Finally Farmer traded the curiosity
for 160 acres of land in South Dakota,
and the new owner went on tour
of the East, attracting attentiSn every
where. Farmer divulged the secret to

and the editor of the Kansan on the

GAME OF ORGAN BUILDER.

This is really interesting game
much played by German children.
First, the players choose one OF their
number to be the Organ Builder. He
goes around among the rest and places
them in a straight row. Each player
must hold out both his or her hands
folded in front of him, and the Organ
Builder goes along the row, saying:
"These are good organ pipes" Then
he taps each players hands lightly
with thin stick, and the player whom
he touches must give forth long, sus-
tained sound to represent tone of the
pipe.
If the tone does not suit the Organ
Builder, he may demand an improve
ment, but only once, and the players
must obey.
After he has heard sound from
each "organ pipe" he retires long
enough to be blindfolded. While he
is away all the 'organ pipes" change
places.
When he returns, the Organ Builder
says:
"Alas, how will my organ be, now /
am blind and cannot see:"
He reaches cut with his stick and
taps the outstretched hands Of one Of
the players. The one who is struck
must Immediately utter the same sound
as he or she did the first time, and the
Organ Builder may demand that it be
repeated three times.
Then he must say:
"Ah. this pipe is" naming the
player who he thinks it is.
If he has not guessed correctly, all
the players dance around him and sing:
"What a builder have we here?
What wretched wretched ear.
Though the pipes sound out so clear!"
Then they all change places again,
and the Organ Builder must try the
next pipe"
If, however, he guesses correctly, the
players sing:
Though the master have no sight,
He can tell his pipes Alright!
See your organ with delight"
And they pull the bandage from his
eyes. The pipe" whose name has
been guessed must take his place.

ROMANCE OF TWO GEESE.

l have always thought that wild
geese We're the most interesting OF
fowl. They have an intelligence and a
system of their own. They mate and
marry, used to think, just as people
do, and every gandcr Is faithful TO his
goose. Once when the wild geese
were flying overhead in the spring, one
of our neighbOrs got out with his gun
and shot into the flock flying overhead.
He wounded a goose. in the wing and
it futtered to the earth. Our neigh
Dor captured it, and told his children
that they might keep it and make pet
of it. By caring for it tenderly and
feeding it often this goose became quite
tame, and stayed all the year with the
tame geese.
Next spring the wild geese were fly.
ing over again and the goose that had
been shot and tanned heard them honk'
ing i'm the skies as they went over.
She seemed to recognize familiar
voice, and, showing great excitement,
gave loud call This was heard by
one of the geese in the sky, evidently
her mate of former years, and he, after
circling around for time, finally came
TO the earth, found his long-lOst goose
and remained with her. He was wild
for a time, and would fly whenever a
person would come near, but finally he
became domestlcated, and the two
raised brood of goslings and lived
happy ever afterward with the tame

PHOTOGRAPHING AN OWL.

The Great Horned Owl may be fas-
einated by dog. And the photograph
ing Of the Great Horned Owl under
these conditions is not difficult; wait
until the owl seizes the fowl and stops
to rest on the return to the woods;
then let dog be led to within twenty
or thirty feet Of the owl, and the bird
will be all attention for the dog and
take no apparent notice of the person
leading it. The behavior of the owl at
such times is very amusing. 1t stands
motionless, gazing intently at the dog;
but after a few minutes, if the dog re-
mains quiet, the bird seems to become
nervous, and steps first to one side
and then to the other, kissing, swapping
its beak, and ruffling its feathers. Af-
ter this the owl will usually try to
make off with its prey; but il another
halt is made, the birds actions show
even more nervousness. While the
OWLS attention is thus attracted is the
time to approach within 'photo-dls-
tance" to get the snapshots ."LSt.
