VaInine a millionaire.

In the earlier days of raiIroading in the
middle west the late Jay Gould was once
held up-and, for once, surrendered. He
was making a tour of inspection over
some Of his lines, accompanied by some
of his friends, and on certain morning
approached his conductor, with a request
to wire ahead to the station where the
party was to stop for dinner at noon
that a prairie chicken might be the CEN
ter of the feast. The butt0ned official
carried out orders, the station master
prepared and served the chicken. and the
three or four travellers, with the dining
room all to themselves, ate heartily and
approximately. Then Mr. Could asked the
proprietor what he owed him.

Ford County Fruit Can't Be Beaten
for Flavor or Color.

The shift westward of the rain belt
and the wheat belt in Kansas has been
followed by the fruit belt. Expert
wheat men are confident that for the
next fifteen years Ford county will be
in the best yielding wheat district in
Kansas. For the past few years Reno
county, considered near the western
border of the fruit district, has led
the state in apples. Ford county is
now producing good apples, better In
flavor and coloring than those raised
IN Reno county. Some of the best ap-
pies seen bere this season, best III
every particular, were raised by Mr..
Tucker on his place near Howell. Mr..
Tucker raised some Ben Davis apples
this year that are fine enough to go
on exhibition in a fruit show in any
country. Ford county will be known
vet as a fruit county and homemakers
here should be planting more orchards.

Admiral Birilen brings a robust dis
position to his new task. He is a roll
licking salt with a Homeric stammer,
8 practical joker, like Lord Charles
Beresford Stories about him are num-
berless. Here is one: When Admiral
8hestakon was in power ne passed a
vigorous rule that his young officers
must not bankrupt themselves buying
bouquets for visiting royalties. The
empress was to visit a ship on which
Birilen served. AS her majesty des-
cended to the cabin a huge bouquet Of
flowers nnysteriouBly appeared on the
table and delighted royalty at once took
possession OF It. Admiral Shestakom
saw the mass Of fragrant blossoms in
the imperial hands and turned furiously
