Saved by a Head.

Peter Waikiki is the proudest bald
man has been saved from death by
the skin Of his teeth or the hair of his
head But there are only a few men
who owe their lives to their maligned
badness. Peter Waikiki is the shin
ing example of these few. Last night
the gloss and shine and the hairless
ness of his pate saved Peters life and
made a railroad story beside which
the best yarn ever told of the red fan
mel petticoat and the averted train dis
aster is commonplace.
An hour after Peter lay down to
sleep on the railroad bridge that
spans the Columbia River a Great
Northern express, speeding to make up
lost time between Spokane Falls and
the northern division, came bowling
around the curve leading to the bridge.
The engineer had a vision of his train
going over the bridge like a hunted
cat along a fence Wien the glare of
his headlight suddenly picked up
something white and glistening on
the track dead ahead 1t glistened
and shone and menaced, and the en-
gineer, fascinated, reversed his en-
CINE and brought the train to a stand
still ten yards from the shining patch
of white, which as the train came
nearer had become brighter still. Then
he went out to investigate and found
the bald head Of Peter Waikiki loom
ing up like a beacon. Waikiki was
still asleep.-St. Paul Dispatch in New
York Sun.

Country life in this day and age
need not differ very greatly from lie
IL the cities or towns, writes a farm
er's wife in an exchange. When so
liability exists what does it matter IL
we do have to use a horse and buggy
to make call or visit?
On every farm, if the conditions are
as they should be, a horse is kept Tor
this purpose. The telephone has large
ly done away with the old-fashionec,

her own home and talk, where she used
to drive to see her neighbor.
Clubs are just as much success In
the country as In the cities. In this
community we have one, limited to
twenty-five members, which covers
radius of thirteen miles. While every
member is not always present, we
keep up as good an average as in any
town club. We have splendid meet
ings and q social hour afterward, with
refreshments. Once a year we hold
ladies' reception, at which we have
two or three guests according to the
size Of the home i'll which we enter
tain. During the holidays we enter
tain our husband and sweethcarts
with play or contest, followed by
substantial supper. This club contln-
ues to grow in interest and if for any
reason a member leaves the club, some
one else is willing and anxious TO take
the vacancy. We have had topics,
poems and historical novels, and this
year have taken American history all
year.
Winter is when the farmer has most
time for recreation. Many pleasant
evenings may be spent with some
neighbor when they can play games
and have music and make an enjoya-
be evening for all. No man can live
unto himself Whenever he ceases to
associate with others he quits growing
and will become narrow-minded, in
time. Be sociable. The people on the
Western plains driving miles to see
each other, prove that sociability is IN
the people, not their surroundings.

FATHER OF RAG-TiME MUSIC.
Ernest Hogan Once a Kansas Cityan
to Blame for these Songs.

Ernest Hogan Once a Kansas Cityan,
to Blame for these Songs.
Several years ago." says Frederick
Neil Inpes, in the New York Tele-
gram. there was negro dance in
that section Of Kansas City known as
Belvidere Hollow, and as a special In
duceINent for the colored folk to at
tend it was announced that an impor-
tant negro from the sunny districts
of New Orleans would be on hand to
call the dance.
This negro made most pro-
nounced impression from the start, but
when he began to call the figures for
the intricate movements &C the old
fashioned quadrille he created a SEN
sation, and, in the vernacular of the
theatrical profession, the New Orleans
darky made a hit"
"a single expression Of this negro
filed the dancers with wonderment;
in fact, it caused such a sensation as
to form the principal topic of public
gossip In Belvidere for many weeks
after. The negro's expression was
pas-ma-la.' 1t means pass and swing
nothing more.
Another negro in Belvidere, mu-
sically inclined. originated dance and
called it the 'Pas-ma-la.' He COM
posed some music for it, and within
a few weeks any one in the negro dis
trict of Kansas City who couldn't
dance the 'Pas-ma-la' wasn't eligible
for colored society.
"The author of the new dance was
Ernest Hogan, who afterward gained
a measure of fame for other songs he
composed, but when asked what his
initial effort meant he said 'ragtime.'
Ernest Hogan is the father Of rag
time for 'Pas-ma-la' was the first eff
fort of this kind that ever attracted
general attention. Following this
came f. A. Mills Georgia Camp
Meeting.
II dare say that 10000 songs and
instrumental numbers, popularity
known as ragtime, have been COM
posed and put on the market since
Hogan introduced the fad to Kansas
City negro elite. The country for a
while seemed ragtime mad Certainly
no one ever considered a ragtime Sc
! lection from a serious standpoint and
no one, surely, can be surprised that
that form of alleged music is now On
the wane."

Snakes Kept as Ranch Pets.

well, 1 don't have many pets
around my house." said Richard Cook
at the Midland Hotel to q Kansas City
Star man. I'm fact the only ones about
the place are siI large snakes" Mr..
Cook is an Arizona cattle man with
a ranch about seventy-five miles from
Tucson. You see, we need those
snakes to keep of the rattlers and
also to keep the ranch free from mice
and rats" he continued.
Those reptiles, bull snakes we call
them, are the best mousers you ever
saw. They will go down a hole af-
ter rat and you may rest assured
that they never come back without ii.
They are also death on rattlesnakes.
With those black snakes about the
place we are never bothered with the
other species. A peculiar feature is
that the black snakes not only are
free from poison, but they are com
paratively friendly"
