BAD CASE or JEALOUSY.
Farmers Wife Thinks the Hired Girl
Is DispIacing Her.

A beautiful young girl who lives a,
few miles east of Potter recently Sc
cured employment in a family near
Kickapoo. Her hair was her special
mark of bauty. One who expressed
the greatest admiration for the long
black locks was the head of the fam
lily where she worked. Every time he
sat down to the table to eat. he COM
plimented the girl on her beautiful
hair. His wife fairly burned with
jealousy, and she made Up her mind
to get rid of the beautiful hair.
One afternoon while her husband
was in the field plowing, his mind free,
perhaps, from every thought, save the
beautiful black hair, she persuaded the
girl to believe that her hair would
grow out more beautiful than ever if
clipped off. OF it came. In the even
ing there was a furious row between
husband and wife, and in the fury of
the storm the girl went home, carry
ing under her arm wrapped in a news
paper the beautiful glossy black hair.
When the girl told her story to her
parents there was a paving of feet, a
gnashing of teeth and a few other un-
parliamentary things. and now there
is just one thing that will save a GER
tain woman from damage suit-the
prompt payment of a good round sum.

ROCKEFELLER'S GIFTS.
Makes Anarchists, Declares DR.. H. j.
COker of Chanute.

Chanute, Kan, May 2.-fThe Bap-
lists are a God-fearing people, and I
say God bless them. but I am thank
full every day that John D. Rockefeller
is not a Methodist" said the Rev. Dr.
H. J. Coker at the First Methodist
church.
Il no not say that there are not
MethOdistis who would do as Rookie
is not a Methodist and 1 thank God for
that. am thankful we do not have
to take his tainted money. which is
the result Of robbery.
'"They talk about the anarchists of
this country, the people who advocate
destruction, but the real enemies of
the republic, the men who we have
the most to fear, are the men of great
wealth who have accumulated that
wealth by immoral means and who are
misusing it. We see the spectacle of a.
babboon dressed up paraded at New
port and shuddering at the society in
which he is thrown. We see the spec
tacle of an educated poodle dog oc-
cupying first place at the table of one
of our millionaires. We see the spec
tacle of 100000 Wrung from the
policy holders of an insurance COM
pany being spent for a single dinner,
while next door woman and her chill
dren may be starving for bread, and
then we wonder why there are SO
many anarchists in this country.
"Can we wonder that the perform
ances such as the Hyde dinner make
anarchists Can we wonder that the
babboon dinners make anarchists? Is
not a man more than a monkey? Is
not the soul of a human being above
that of an educated poodle dog? ?"

fun he had catching the foxes. This
last one I brought in was a big red

Englishman and American Due to
Fight Friday Night.

san Francisco, May 2-Jabez White
and Jimmy Britt are down to battle
for the lightweight championship of
the world at San Francisco next Fri
day night. Twenty rounds is the route
that the men are scheduled to go.
Morris Levy, of the Hayes Valley club,
is the man that is to bring off the
bout. Although Levy has been grant
ed the permit to hold the bout by the
board of supervisors there is a chance
that the bout will not take place.
White and Britt both think the bout
will take place and have resumed hard
training. White has been out on the
road every day and is said to be in
fine condition. White. according to
critics who have seen him work out,
is a fighter, and if looks and appear
ance count for anything the American
will have to face anything but an easy
mark.
Britt is just the kind of a scrapper
to give White the best fight. however,
and a fast contest is assured if the men
meet. Although the -again-on-
again" business will hurt the attend
ance at the contest considera bly,, a
large crowd Will undoubtedly turn out
to watch the American try to lower
the colors of the English champion.

TRACING PENALTY CARS.
Santa Fe Has Adopted Plan Used by
Chicago & Alton.

SD1Cst8O ~ kAlLOn.
The Railway Age says: The Atch-
isOn, Topeka & Santa Fe has recently
adopted a plan for handling penalty
cars which has been enforced with ex-
cellent results on the Chicago & Alton,
and which was described in the Rail-
way Age of August 4, 1904. As a re-
suit of the Atoms success the plan
was adopted several months ago by
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul.
with the result that penalty car pay
ments have been greatly reduced on
that road. The plan has not been in
operation long enough on the Santa
Fe to enable that road to report
definite results, but the reduction Of
penalty cars has already been noted
and the telegraph wires have been
greatly relieved. The plan briefly is
that of preparing statements showing
the dates when cars become subject
duplicate to every agent. yardmaster
and other employe connected with the
handling of cars, with the request that
he check up with all cars in his ter
ritory as soon as possible. The prac-
tice is quite general to wait until cars
become penalty" and then to trace
them by wire, and the number of these
there is considerable delay in handling
them and consequent loss to the rail-
roads. The number of penalty cars
increases or decreases according to the
amount and kind of traffic offered, as
well as trend of traffic, and no COM
parisons can well be made between
roads, owing to the varying conditions
but the success of the plan adopted on
the three roads mentioned would seem
to commend it as an improved method
of handling penalty cars under all con-
ditionS.
