Hat on a Iona Journey.

An old derby hat passed through
here yesterday for a trip over the
Wells-Fargo express lines. The hat
was started from Omaha, and was
shipped from there to st. Joseph, and
afterward to Topeka. 1t was sent
west from here.
1t was marked and supposed to be
the property of Judge Rooney of Oma-
ha, and bore tag, with instructions
to all agents to forward it on the long
journey over the lines of the express
company.
At each station where the hat stops
the agent puts the tag of his Office on
the hat and sends it on. After 1t has
Travelled several thousand miles it
will be covered with tags until it will
be almost impossible to find the color,
and tags will be pasted upon tags, on
the inside and on the outside and ev-
cry tag will bear different Office
stamp.
This is one of the various ways the
messengers have just to pass away
the time, and often such articles travel
around the world. These packages
pass through often, and if one has
travelled very far it is oftimes difficult
to know what the article originally
was.-Topeka Capital.

Making Father Work.

Every one has heard of the beauti-

peaks of the Adirondack mountains on

Green mountains and the best apple

notary public in the United States In

At the time she made he rapplica-

Wise Suggestion.

There are still remote districts in
Austria where the country apothecary
acts as doctor and uses the old fash
toned remedies, says the Wiener Witz-
blatt. Recently one of these elderly
practitioners was summoned in haste
to see position who was down with
fever. The apothecary had had a
long sitting in the village beer house,
and left his boon companions reluc-
family.
He prescribed leeches for his pa
tient, and as the latter's wife didn't
seem to understand what to do with
them he undertook to put them on the
patients legs himself. But in spite of
all his efforts, the leeches refused to
stick, and finally the doctors patience
was exhausted and he was about to
give UP the job, when his wife, who
had been watching him with a gaping
mouth. suddenly said Wouldn't 1t
be better, Herr Doctor. If my hus-

Philadelphia, Pa.--Twenty years
OF hard labor in solitary confine-
ment in the Eastern Penitentiary was
the sentence pronounced on John
5oseph Kean, the abductor of little

mans crime, which had aroused the
whole city, stirred the officers of the
law to quick action, and the swift
ness with which justice moved has
never been equaled in this eommun-
ity.
Kean fell into the clutches Of the
law in the afternoon about the time
the courts were closing. Promptly at
10 o'clock next morning he was pho
tographed and measured by the
Bertillon method Twenty-Five min
utes later he had been arraigned be-
fore a magistrate and committed to
court without bail The Grand Jury

iron doors of the penitentiary
closed behind him.

Speaker Cannon, passed the House
without dissent or division.
The formality OF this final per-
Torrance was enlivened by Repre-
sentative WaGsworth's attempt to
minimize the defeat he sustained
Here are some comments made
from the floor about the bill while it
was under consideration
Representative Wadsworth- The
provisions of this bill insure TO the
public a rigid meat inspection.
Mr.. Lamb of Virginia-The ma
jority of the committee has acceded
to all contentious Of the minority, but
one that the packers shall pay the
cost of inspection.
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi This
bill is about as good an outcome as
could be expected under the circum-
stances.
Mr. Davis of Minnesota very
good bill in nearly all of its respects.
It might have been much better
bill.
Secretary wilson said. sThe
amended meat inspection plan as
agreed upon by the President and
Representatives Of the House gives
me power thoroughly to inspect the
meat products designed for interstate
commerce or for export. 1t is good
bill, and I am pleased with its final
form. We should now be able to pre-
vent the offering for sale of I'M
sound, unwholesome, and unclean
meats. The changes made at the de-
sire and suggestion of the President
have all improved the measure"
Mr.. Wadsworth referred to the
changes in the amendment decided
upon by Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Can
non, as certain slight amendments;
most of them were verbiage, with two
exceptions" These two exceptions
we're, of course, the elimination of
the clause taking the additional in
speetors that will be required from
under the Civil Service law, and the
striking out of the court review pro-
vision, which would have greatly
hampered the Secretary of Agricul-
ture in effectively enforcing the law
All the members of Congress feel
that out Of the resounding clamor
of the last week there has come a
very effective piece Of legislation.
The President has been successful in
his contentious and, as was ineVita-
BILE under the circumstances, has
worsted those who most strongly OPP
posed a rigid inspection law.
