A Topeka girl and her sister went
out of town last week and it happened
that man friend took the same train.
Another Topeka man heard of it and
almost died laughing at the side-split-
ting practical joke which Immediately
occurred to him. He hurried to a
telegraph office and sent the girl
telegram of congratulations and hot
air-thirty words, collect. He went
about all day roaring to himself as he
thought how mad the girl would be
when she read that costly telegram.
But the next day the message was re-
turned to him, refused, and he had to
pay for it himself. Which reminds
one of another Irishman who reflected,
after practical joke that went wrong,
that it was a good thing he had his
laugh first. and of the old saw that he
laughs best who postpones his laughter
until after all bills have been paid.

LONG ENGAGEMENTS.
A woman's Plan by which TO Bring
About Happy Marriages.

Marriage is an institution Of the
state; therefore she should put it out
Of the bonds of possibility that people
can marry each other in two days or
u week. How many marriages would
be broken off If the state required a
three years engagement before people
are married? After all, If a woman
wants to become n u in two months,
no convent in the world will accept
her. She must be Il novice for two or
three years. During that time she has
to make an examination of her con
science every day and to find out If
she has II vocation for Il nun. But
women and men marry without the
slightest preparation, without the
slightest thought of the future, while
Dame Nature laughs at her most odd
pairings. She wants her world peopled.
That is her part. The men and women
who are i'll suited TO each other are not
her affair.
Girls and boys ut school should be
taught to look upon marriage as the
most beautiful, the happiest, the most
desirable and the most possible thing
in the world. Boys should be taught
to keep their minds and their bodies
pure for the state which they will
probably enter and to have Il sense of
protection ana loyalty to girls, and
girls should he taught industry, self
sacrifice and responsibility for the mar
ried state.-Mrs. r. l.. O'Connor In

MAKING PIPE ORGANS
Interesting Work That II Done In
the NOicinR room.

Both the metal and wooden pipes OF

principle of the willow whistles that
eicry man made when he was a boy,
md so. after all, n pipe organ, the
mighticst musical instrument yet in.
vented, Is but the evolution of that
primitive pipe of Pan, the willow wills
tie.
The most interesting place in an or.
gan factory Is the voicing room. Up to
the time the pipes enter this room they
are us dumb as broomsticks. Here the
breath of life is breathcd into them,
and they are made to speak, each in
the voice intended by its maker. Here
the big fat pipes are taught to thunder
out their diapason and those scarce the
diameter of Il slate pencil and one-half
an inch long to utter their shrill wills
tie and others the thousands of varying
tones between. And not only must the
pipes of stop speak correctly as In
dividuals and members Of their W
particular family, but they must be In
accord with all the hundreds Of others
in whose midst they are to live. To
see that they do this Is the work OF a
man whose ear Is keen to the slightest
variation and who must know why a
pipe does not speak as 1t should and
how to make 1t. One by n the pipes
are set upon the wind chest standing
here, with the bellows and all the in
ternal mechanism Of an organ properly
adjusted and with a keyboard In front
of him the vOicer tests each one. by
changing the size and shape of thu
aperture through which the wind pass

can accomplish.

In 1706 one James Austin laid a
wager Of $500 that he would cook a
plum pudding ten feet beneath the sur
face of the Thames neal Rotherhlthe.
The bet was readily accepted, and
many people flocked to the appointed
locale to watch this strange exhibition
of the culinary art. Enclosed In Il tin
pan in the center Of a sack of lime the
pudding was lowered beneath the wa
ter, where for two hours and a half 1t
remained. 1t was then taken up and
partaken Of by n committee, who de-
clared that Austin had won his wager,
the pudding being, if anything, over

Jury Has Parker Murder Case.

Fender, Neb., Oct. 1S.-The case OF
Sam Parker, charged with the killing
of Andrew Johnson, both Omaha In
dians, has been in court the last three
days. At the conclusion of this trial
the jury was instructed by Judge
Graves to eliminate the first and
second degrees Of murder, and, II the
evidence was sufficient, to find the
accused guilty of manslaughter. The
head, which was decapitated at the
coroner's inquest, was not brought
into court, as such evidence would be
revolving to the community. The tes'
timony of the two physicians in the
case was deemed sufficient.
