WILDER Horstmann, living four
miles west OF Twin Brooks, had the
misfortune Wednesday to lose his
barn by fire. The fire took place late
in the afternoon and as only the girls
were at home nothing was saved. A
horse and calf were burned. The
cause of the fire is unknown. The
loss is placed between $500 and 500,
with no insurance.

WAR ON THE SPARROW.
It fs Dcicnred by the International Or
 RithOIOGical Congress in London.

Relentless war against the sparrow was declared at the International Or nithological Congress at the Imperial Institute in London, on June 1T. in a paper by Igali Svetozar, a Hungarian agriculturist, who described it as the little brigand," The sparrow did not find single defender in the Congress
 MT. Svetozar told how he had built nests for the sparrows in hls trees and cornfields. and found that the birds devoured his produce voraciously and let the harmful insects alone,>
 Dr. A. Quinet, of Brussels, urged that entomology should be studied in connection with ornithology if good were to be done from the agricultural standpoint. He declared that there are 1900 insects found in conjunction with farm crops, of which a few hun dred could be guaranteed to be use full.
 If it were not known whether a bird devoured useful or harmless insects. little effective work could be done in the ways of protection or destruction of birds.
 Some discussions was caused by a resolution, moved by Walter Roths- child. that "a telegram be sent in the name of the Fourth International Or Inithological Congress to the Common wealth of Australia. New Zealand and Tasmania, urging the immediate ne- lcesstty of legislation to prevent tho

The plan of admin istIation includes a governor. a vice governor. a chief of public works. who supervises all road building. the con- struction of docks, erecting of houses. and all that pertains to such a depart ment, a chief of agriculture, chief of fisheries, surgeon in chief, who has charge of the sanitary arrange ments, and a chief of marine service, who superintends the growing com- mercial fleet attached to the admin istration. The use of alcohol, spirits and fermented drinks is prohibited on the island The possession or reten- sion Of firearms is forbidden, except in particular cases, when permit may be issued by the governor. It Is for bidden to take fish in the rivers, lakes and ponds of the island.

 The letter ended abruptly. A grim smile was upon his face as he signed his name. Possibly there was in 1t a suggestion of cunning.
 Five days later he received a brief telegram. He\glanced at it and sighed
 relievedly. The telegram said: Work CTS withdrawn from Clover County" It was not signed. But he knew the source, and to this source-a great

 A plea for the mutton bird was made by F. NJ. Little of Tasmania, who said that the Tasmanian hooli- gans habitually play foot ball with it. roast 1t over slow fires, and other wise torture 1t.

| still persist in saying that the women who do things are the happiest. Not only are they the happiest. put they are the best women. That Is why . husband Is short-sighted when he is jealous of some talent his wife has. It is a great deal better to be jealous of a talent than of another man. This reminds me of nice little scandal which occurred a couple of years ago. A rich man married over in Paris. girl who had a pronounced talent for sculpture After her wedding he frowned severely upon her modelling apparatus and ordered it removed from the house. He wanted wife, he said. and not a dauber in clay. To have a talent was all very well when she was the poor Miss Blank. but now that she had married a fortune she must take her place in society and not work any more. It did not matter how much talent she had or thought she had. real ly smart people did nothing but go around and enjoy themselves. Why couldn't she do the same and be like other women?

10 white linen hat trimmed with white wings and a white coaching parasol. | This year the linen suits are not trimmed 50 heavily with lace as form erly. They aim at . simple effect of straps or embroidery. One of the smart est costumes have ever seen was of white linen. The jacket with button hole embroidery all over 1t had little three-quarter sleeves edged with val enciennes, while the skirt was simply plaited and hemmed ankle length. With this were worn a French sailor hat, also of eyelet embroidery. trimmed with a twist of pale blue, and one of pale pink taneta ribbon.
 The Guimps Dress.
 The guimpe dress Is with us to stay. prettiest in lavender. The guimpe is best made of fine transparent organdie, with elbow sleeves ending in cuffs of lace. the transparent collar being also of the lace.
 The newest collar foundations are made without tho upper and lower sttn bones. This makes them far more comfortable for summer wear, besides causing the neck to appear much small CT around. The collars can be procured for 10 cents each. and really there is | HUI du CACucO AClt Aoh tho "ohuh ".saA saEging neckwear. Put collar on every wash waist you have. They are easily pasted in and taken out for laundering.
 l We certainly have the hot weather with us. Some people suffer very much from it, but 1t is my private opinion that a great many more suffer because they do not know how to take things easy. For the woman who overdresses in warm weather l have no sympathy. It Is foolish and unnecessary. and If she wants to go to a fashionable hotel where i've changes a day are necessary let her not grumble-that's all. The man who drinks hot coffee and eats shoveling coal into the furnace. and so lis the nervous little woman who per- sists in a meat diet. Many a nervous wreck has saved his life by sleeping out of doors and that Is what I want to talk about It is not so difficult as 1t sounds.
 The Outdoor Sleeping Fad.
 If you live in the country try putting a tent on the lawn. Once you have slept in 1t you will never want to go back to a stuffy bedroom. The owner .I of a house with a balcony can easily fit 1t with screens and rolling shades of material thin enough to admit the air and thick enough to protect from 1 the public gaze. In a city house a tent or screen arrangement can be rigged up on the roof. and one night thus | spent in the open will be found worth three nights in a. swe1tering bedroom. 1 A friend of mine who was a nervous wreck cured herself in this way.

boarding house which had a room with balcony facing the sea. This she screened with venetian blinds and fur nished with a strip of carpet and a cot bed. At first she occupied this balcony night and day. In the morning at 7:30 cup of cocoa would be brought to her, after which she would go into the bedroom adjoining fix her hair and dress for the day in some loose negli- gee. After this she would return to the balcony bed. which had been re- made, and lie there watching the sea until a substantial breakfast was brought at S:30. The day she spent in reading and embroidering and in writing notes She recovered her strength and appetite, and from fitful sleep she managed to rest soundly for ten hours at stretch. When she returned to town. sleeping in a bed- room was positive torture to her until the cold weather reconciled her to 1t.
 People who are afflicted with nerves have the remedy in their own hands. It is plenty of fresh air. thin clothing and a light diet.
 I sometimes think. though there is something in Marie Antoinette's re- mark that nerves are the malady of the happy. Certainly the woman who works hard has no time to waste on nervousness. and if she Is really break ing down, let her try the outdoor sleep ing plan, and in no time she will be her cheerful brisk self again.
 Dressing Dolls for a Living. At this time of the year many women find employment dressing dolls for Christmas. l know of one girl who | makes quite tidy little sum clothing dolls in an unusual or quaint manner She is at present engaged in robing a set of them to represent Dickens char | acters. They are to be raffied at a church bazaar about Thanksgiving time. Another woman. a friend of hers, is a perfect wonder at making rag babies, and you know, in spite of all the French waxen beauties, the rag doll will always be the favorite of the very young child. One of these rag dolls which she made recently for a little millionaire on Fifth Avenue was as large as a real baby It was made of stockinet, the entire body being flesh color, while the face and hands were most artistically painted. The dresses for this rag child were perfect copies | of those of the up-to-date infant, and the paints used were waterproof so that if Miss Dolly fell into the bath tub 1t would not hurt her at all. The same woman makes fascinating ani- mals. her speciality being a large brown monkey most lifelike in appearance She derives a very good income from her work and receives orders for Christmas trees and fairs a month in | advance.
 Before I close want to give one more hot weather hint: Don't forget the sick who are poor. There is no greater pursatory than to be shut up in an ill., | emellinR room without fce and yvitbn,,, wholesome invalid's food, when ones very life depends on the right kind of nourishment. Yes. I know there are societies to look after these cases, but they don't reach everyone, especially in the small towns where charity work is not we'll organized and depends prin- cipally on the kindness of individuals.
 It is bad enough to be poor and i'll at l the same time.

The Santa PO's Coal Rats.

One OF the most interesting pieces
Of recent news is the announcement
that the Santa Fs has made general
red uction on coal rates affecting CEN
trail and western Kansas. "There has
been no compaint against lump rates
in the eastern part Of tho state" said
General Freight Agent Koontz.
"They are plenty low enough. But
Western Kansas people have been
asking for lower rates. Fuel 10 a big
problem out in the short grass coun-
try, and after q careful study Of the
situation, we decided to render them
relief" This "reliet" is very sub
stantial one ranging from 20 to 30
per cent, the latter figure being fixed
for Abilene and places on the Superior
branch.
Th4 position taken by the Santa Fe
as expressed by Mr.. Koontz is one
that will appeal to the good judg-
ment OF Kansaps generally. II all
railroads would give this sort OF at
tentiou to the needs Of the COM
munities along their lines, the rail-
road legislation agitator would be ouI
Of business.
The railroad law passed by the
legislature last winter makes read
iustment OF rates obtainable by the
shippers, when fair rates do not exist,
but this fact does not lesson the
Santa Fe's service in taking the mi
tiative In lowering rates where
needed.
Fairness on the part Of railroads
and Of communities alike will settle
all difficulties Of transportation
Both are interested in Kansas devel'
opment and both share In Its pros
