Gave Riders a Bath.

An incident is related of a horse,
kind, intelligent and good-natured, but
as full of fun as person might be, as
will be seen by the joke he played
upon some boys. They were four OF
the lads, and one day they undertook
to ride the horse bareback, all at once.
Dobbin gave no warning of his inten-
lions, but walked off, apparently al
most asleep, until he reached a stream
OF water, into which he walked and
laid down, emptying all the four boys
into the water, and then, turning, gal
loped home.

When first the game Of life was plaved
BY savage man. In forest glade,
Who fought his way 'gainst beasts and
men
Up to the dawn Of history-then
Clubs were trumps.
Then came the age when poets sing
OF seed time and of harvesting;
White fochs are led by shepherds, now
And Cfncinnatus drives his plow-
When spades are trumps.
The merchant ships their sails unfold.
And countries new are filed with men
Who madly strive for fortune-then
Are diamonds trumps.
When shall we see the day of peace
Past war. past strife for COLDS increase
When simple life and higher thought
And loving brotherhood have wrought
That hearts are trumps?

EUREKA. Aug S.-A sensation in

the alleged fraudulent location of pine

Japanese were early to dinner and were
assigned a table in the center of the long
room. They had only half concluded their
dinner when the Russian envoys entered
and were escorted to the extreme end of
the room directly past the Japanese table.
No sign of recognition, however, was
made by either.
Concluding dinner. Baron Komura and
Minister Takahira strolled on the wide
veranda Of the hotel down past the din
ing room windows and mingled with the
curious crowd that was endeavoring to
catch glimpse of the distinguished din
ers within. They soon returned and en-
tered the hotel
When the Russians concluded dinner,
they, too, showed signs of sociability.
They first strolled into the billiard room
of the hotel, where they remained for
some time, and then sauntered leisurely
on an inspection tour of their surround
ings.
MUST SELECT A LANGUAGE.
One of the interesting preliminary
questions to be settled by the conference
Is the language in which the negotiations
shall be concluded. Mr.. de Witte speaks
only French and Russian, while Baron
Rosen has also a command of English
Both of the Japanese are proficient in the
English tongue, but Baron Komura
speaks very little French. 1t is realized
that. If English shall be chosen as the
medium of communication, translations
must be made to Mr.. de Witte. Should
French be the language decided upon,
translations will have to be made, pre-
ferably in English, for the Japanese.
While there are no official statements
or predictions regarding the outcome of
the forthcoming negotiations. the preva-
lence of a general good feeling is no.
ticeable throughout the environs of the

This discovery was made by no less
a parsonage than Judge p. billiard OF
Fort Scott, high IN the councils OF the
Democratic party, and is based upon
his own observation, 1t Is said. Ever
since the fame OF the st. Louis prose-
cutor began to sperad over Kansas the
question has been asked:
What kind OF Democrat is Folk?'
Now they know. The discovery was
incidental to the Dodge City reunion,
which was attended by Governor Folk.
A number OF leading Democrats were
gathered In the smoking-room OF a car
on the return trip. when Senator Joe
Dolly OF Wabaunsee brought up the
oft-discussed subject and turned TO

Other members OF the party agreed
and the Governor, who may be a Presi-
Dental possibility, was called 10 the
smoking-room to settle his standing
with the Kansas Democracy.
We're about to take a drink" said
billiard, "and we wondered Il you
drank. We've heard so many conflict
ing stories that we thought the best
way would be to ask you"
Where's the bottle?" asked the Mis-
sourian.
The drink he took was large enough
to astonish even a Kansas Democrat.
In refusing the glass of water offered
afterward the Missourian added to his
standing and the Kansas Democracy is
now under his command
Governor Folk is an inveterate
smoker and his intimates say he takes
a drink whenever he feels so disposed.

The Pie Libel.

A piece of pie is not necessarily q
death warrant 1t depends on what 1t
is made of and how it is made Pie
proper should represent an unobjec-

bread.
The word pastry" however, covers
a multitude of dietetlc sins. Flour and
fat rolled into couple of soggy layers,
between which spiced meats, chopped
with more fat, mingled with raisins

cognacs-this may be pastry, but it is
a libel on pie

sweet cream, olive Oil or fresh butter

Divorce In Turkey.

A woman in the sultan's realm when
divorced from her husband is not
treated with cOntumely and often mar
ries again. A husband simply says to
his wife, ~ have divorced you" She
leaves him, and he tells the same to
the cadi, who gives to him a paper Of
written enforcement If it is the first
or second time that this has occurred
he may take her back again without
any formality ensuing, but after a
third divorce she will be lost to him
forever. Men abuse this license and
sometimes divorce their wives for a
very small fault like bad dinner or
button unSeWed, each knowing that
if he repents he can have his wife back
before evening. 1t is not uncommon
that wife IS divorced from five huS-
bands and lives with a sixth.
