THOUGHT MIKADOWANTED 'EM
Restaurant Mans Joke Caused Excite-
ment Among Japanese in
Kansas City
Special to The Herald.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 4.-There was
considerable excitement among the
Japanese of Kansas City yesterday
when a rumor was set afioat to the
effect that the mikado had issued a
request to all bodied Japanese men
in America between the ages of 20 and
25 years to return to their native land.
The rumor was unwittingly started
by the proprietor of the Togo restaur-
ant, Fifth and Wyandotte streets. He
was packing a suit case, when an in
quisitive patron of the place asked
where he was going. The restaurant
man jokingly replied that he was pre-
pairing to go back to Japan in COM
pliance with the mikado'S wish.
There are a great many Japanese in
the neighborhood of Fifth and Wyan-
dotte streets and it was but short
time until the report of the mikado's
supposed wish had become well circu-
lated. There was a general rush OF
Japanese to the restaurant all OF yes
terday afternoon to inquire into the
truthfulness of the report. 1t was sup
posed that hostilities were about to be
renewed with Russia and the men were
wanted to fight for their country.
A Japanese cook, who works for a
family in the south part of the city,
heard of the report last evening. He
hurried to the restaurant on Fifth
street, but before leaving the place
where he worked, informed his en-
ployers that should the report be true
for them to arrange to find another
cook to take his place by tonight, as
he would leave for San Francisco at
the earliest possible moment.

The two men have confessed that
they robbed the home of william
Barnstead in Jersey City of $4,000 worth

Brooklyn whose homes have been
robbed appeared at police headquarters

Brooklyn, recognized the men, she
said, as having robbed her.
"These men," she told Chief Murphy

appeared I'm the doorway. And here
are two with their tails cut Off. Have
the rats been i'm to these pups?" Under
wood asked excitedy.
NO, not the kind Of rat you mean"
answered the bartender. You know
that pinheaded switchman the boys
call 'Potatohead?' He was In here last
night showing the puppies to a police
man friend of his. All brindle bulldogs
should have short tails said he, and
with that he began to bite their tails
off. He bit off two and thought he had
bitten off third one when the officer
discovered that instead of the tail the
drunken fool had bitten off the pups

course. we took the poor little thing
and drowned It,"
Just at this moment who should ap-
pear on the scene but "Potatohead"
himself. looking very sorrowful ana
downcast?
Say, you halfwitted sack, did you
bite the tails off of my puppies and bite
the leg off of one of them ?' asked
Underwood. angrily.

"Potatohead," timidly.

PICKS HURTS in MIRROR
Looks Over Injuries and

to The Herald.


RIEGELSvILLE, Pa, Jan. 4.--The
coolest lineman who has ever been
shocked from the top of high tele-
phone pole in Bucks county is Ray.
mond whitman, who last evening fell
thirty feet here, unconscious and cleo
trified.
He was repairing wire and in de-
scending the pole the wire testing in
strument he carried over his shoulder
came in contact with the high tension
wire on the trolley pole and 5000 volts
passed through his body.
In falling he disodged two wires.
and for a moment the young fellow
was stunned, but on regaining his
senses pluckily disengaged himself
from the entangling wires, pulled the
testing-box off his shoulder, and ran
to a nearby store, where he proceeded
to wash his face.
With his nose broken I'm several
places, his upper jaw fractured so
that he could not close his mouth, and
his lip and palate slit clear up to his
nostrils, he cody asked of the store
keeper as plainly as he could under
these circumstances:
please give me a mirror, so that
1 can see what I look likei"
Taking a deliberate survey of his
wounds and drawing his own conclu-
sions, Whitman told one of the by
standers to send for doctor, for his
jaw must be broken, as he could not
shut his mouth.
But all the doctors in Riegelsvile
had been called out Of town, so he sat
ON a store box and patiently waited
until an ambulance arrived and took
him to the Easton hospital.

Round Barn DiSapproved.

I have no experience with round
barns, but those 1 have seen have in
my judgment no advantage over the
usual rectangular form and have many
disadvantages. No expression so COM
pletely fits the case as the effort to fill
a square hole with round plug. The
round barn had its inception in the
thought that more space could be in
closed with the same outline in the
circle than any other form. OF course
that is true and would perhaps hold
good if every inside form was built
accordingly. But we construct every
partition inside with a right angle, and
SO there comes waste. To illustrate,
il COW stalls are made to fit the circle
and are wide enough toward the cen
ter they are too wide on the outer or
larger circumference, and vice versa.

Can they do any more work on a farm
than a yoke of good four year-old
oxen? Can they do any work that the
oxen cannot, unless it be on moving
machine or reaper? We know that the
oxen can work best in swamps or
among stumps. 1t costs less for the
yoke and chains than for harness.
They are more easily taken care of.
When not at work they can feed in the

TWO STYLES OF PIG HOUSE.

but lacks durability and is expensive.
Barb wire fencing can hardly be made
to turn small pigs. 4 good plan is to
have woven wire fence two or three
feet high and two or three strands of
barbed wire above the same to turn
the larger pigs. In addition, some
portable fencing should be on hand for
dividing the large fields into plots.
Wooden hurdles may be used and are
fairly economical. Wooden framed
wire netting hurdles are also very eff
fective. Woven wire stretched tightly
on very firmly set posts, one at each
end of the proposed division line, with
stakes at intervals, is probably as
cheap and easily handled a movable
fence as any. (See illustration.)
Portable sleeping houses that may be
easily moved from one plot to another
are necessary and may be constructed
at small expense. 4 good size is eight
feet square or eight feet long by six
feet wide. The side sills should be of
good stout scantiing six inches by four
inches and the floor of two inch plank
nailed thereto. The upper part may
have two forms-that is the roof part
may come right down to the sills (see
cut or may rest on side walls about
two or two and a half feet high. For
sows with young the sort of roof where
the roof starts at the sill is somewhat
to be preferred.
